'Stand, Men of the West! Stand and wait! This is the hour of doom.'

“All about the hills the hosts of Mordor raged. The Captains of the West were foundering in a gathering sea. The sun gleamed red, and under the wings of the Nazgul the shadows of death fell dark upon the earth. Aragorn stood beneath his banner, silent and stern, as one lost in thought of things long past or far away; but his eyes gleamed like stars that shine the brighter as the night deepens. Upon the hill-top stood Gandalf, and he was white and cold and no shadow fell on him. The onslaught of Mordor broke like a wave on the beleaguered hills, voices roaring like a tide amid the wreck and crash of arms.

As if to his eyes some sudden vision had been given, Gandalf stirred; and he turned, looking back north where the skies were pale and clear. Then he lifted up his hands and cried in a loud voice ringing above the din: The Eagles are coming! And many voices answered crying: The Eagles are coming! The Eagles are coming! The hosts of Mordor looked up and wondered what this sign might mean.

There came Gwaihir the Windlord, and Landroval his brother, greatest of all the Eagles of the North, mightiest of the descendants of old Thorondor, who built his eyries in the inaccessible peaks of the Encircling Mountains when Middle-earth was young. Behind them in long swift lines came all their vassals from the northern mountains, speeding on a gathering wind. Straight down upon the Nazgul they bore, stooping suddenly out of the high airs, and the rush of their wide wings as they passed over was like a gale.

But the Nazgul turned and fled, and vanished into Mordor’s shadows, hearing a sudden terrible call out of the Dark Tower; and even at that moment all the hosts of Mordor trembled, doubt clutched their hearts, their laughter failed, their hands shook and their limbs were loosed. The Power that drove them on and filled them with hate and fury was wavering, its will was removed from them; and now looking in the eyes of their enemies they saw a deadly light and were afraid.

Then all the Captains of the West cried aloud, for their hearts were filled with a new hope in the midst of darkness. Out from the beleaguered hills knights of Gondor, Riders of Rohan, Dunedain of the North, close-serried companies, drove against their wavering foes, piercing the press with the thrust of bitter spears. But Gandalf lifted up his arms and called once more in a clear voice:

‘Stand, Men of the West! Stand and wait! This is the hour of doom.’

And even as he spoke the earth rocked beneath their feet. Then rising swiftly up, far above the Towers of the Black Gate, high above the mountains, a vast soaring darkness sprang into the sky, flickering with fire. The earth groaned and quaked. The Towers of the Teeth swayed, tottered, and fell down; the mighty rampart crumbled; the Black Gate was hurled in ruin; and from far away, now dim, now growing, now mounting to the clouds, there came a drumming rumble, a roar, a long echoing roll of ruinous noise.

‘The realm of Sauron is ended!’ said Gandalf. ‘The Ring-bearer has fulfilled his Quest.’ And as the Captains gazed south to the Land of Mordor, it seemed to them that, black against the pall of cloud, there rose a huge shape of shadow, impenetrable, lightning-crowned, filling all the sky. Enormous it reared above the world, and stretched out towards them a vast threatening hand, terrible but impotent: for even as it leaned over them, a great wind took it, and it was all blown away, and passed; and then a hush fell.

The Captains bowed their heads…”

From “The Return of the King”, by J.R.R. Tolkien, 1955

This article is expanding rapidly, and is a huge new breakthrough, as you’ll see. The breakthrough being that every single article in the chapter thus far uses an identical propaganda technique, which I’ve documented, exposed and explained.

Which is evidence of, wait for it, a Great Big Conspiracy.

I’m demonstrating that species are “winking back into existence”, from our perspective, as the ether returns to a level of health it hasn’t seen in hundreds, nay thousands of years. The long, slow decline from the “Golden age” to the “age of Iron” a process willfully enabled by our about-to-be former Dark masters via their Death energy network, which they patiently built and expanded, well, all the way back to Babylon, and before.

A stone Ba’al pillar here and a geometrically-designed human sacrifice temple, there, what could be the harm?

I’m getting this chapter to press because it’s a great blow against the Empire.

Stand, and witness the end of mean-spirited Western materialism.

EXTINCT SPECIES ARE REAPPEARING

In May 2005, ecoseeds said “Grass species not seen since 1912 found on Catalina Island”.

Where the author has used the general “grass SPECIES” to obscure the actual name, to make the subject far less searchable.

image

(California dissanthelium)

The article continues: “The plant, California dissanthelium, had long been thought extinct until a botanist recently spotted the wispy, 7-inch-tall tufts while hiking in Cottonwood Canyon.”

Where “seen” and “spotted” reinforce the false meme that the grass was there, all along, only no one looked for it with the required assiduousness for a very long while.

In January 2009, the U.K.’s Telegraph said “A butterfly that has not been seen in the wild in Britain since the Second World War is breeding again in the UK”.

Where “seen” reinforces the false meme that the butterfly was there, all along, only no one looked for it with the required assiduousness for a very long while.

Where the author has used the general “A butterfly” to obscure the actual name, to make the subject far less searchable.

image

(Large Tortoiseshell Butterly, UK)

The article continues: “In Victorian times the Large Tortoiseshell was considered widespread and common in woodland in southern England.”

In May 2009, timeforkids.com said “cryptozoo-oscity: Rare animal found, not seen since 1990”.

Where “seen” reinforces the false meme that the butterfly was there, all along, only no one looked for it with the required assiduousness for a very long while.

And where the author has used the general “rare ANIMAL” to obscure the actual name, to make the subject far less searchable. As a bonus, the author also omitted the Philippines, the location of the discovery.

image

(Visayan spotted deer)

The article continues: “One of the world’s most elusive mammals has revealed itself. Footprints and scat belonging to the Visayan spotted deer have been found deep in the Philippines jungle.”

Where “spotted” reinforces the false meme that the dog-sized quadruped was there, all along, only no one looked for it with the required assiduousness for a very long while.

In September 2010, Discover Magazine widened its eyes to simulate honesty and lied “Search for Long-Lost Amphibians Finds Its First Three”.

Where “search” reinforces the false meme that the amphibians were there, all along, only no one looked for them with the required assiduousness for a very long while.

And where the author has used the general “long-lost AMPHIPIANS” to obscure the actual name, to make the subject far less searchable. As a bonus, they’ve also omitted “Africa” and “Mexico”, the locations of the finds.

They’re pretending that an amphibian-discovery mission had been planned by amphibian geniuses, when in fact they’re Satanically-inverting the truth that extinct species are reappearing in droves.

The author didn’t mention the specific names of any of the amphibians because they wanted to make the subject almost unsearchable. It’s a repeating propaganda tactic used in every single example in this chapter.

The propagandist from the Trusted Authority Figure “Discovery” continues: “Last week Conservation International reported that its scientists had rediscovered three species of amphibians, including a Mexican salamander not seen since 1941.”

Where they said “not SEEN since” to imply that it had been there all along, only no one had looked assiduously enough for it between now and then.

Where they said “Conservation International reported” to give the subconscious of the reader the green light to say, “oh, but that must have been reported incorrectly!” The propagandist knows that many or most readers will grasp virtually any straw to remain off the hook of personal responsibility.

“Including a Mexican SALAMANDER” is another hedging generalization, another refusal to mention the amphibian’s name.

The author continues: “In August, Conservation International launched its globe-spanning search for amphibians that haven’t been seen in decades, but still could exist. This month, they’ve tracked down their first three slippery specimens. Scientists turned up two long-lost African frogs and a salamander from Mexico.”

Where “searched for” and “tracked down” and “turned up” all reinforce the false meme that multiple amphibians were there, all along, only no one looked for them with the required assiduousness for a very long while.

The words “mystery”, “baffled” and “puzzled” are memes, used, among numerous similar variants, whenever anyone in the wholly-controlled-and-coopted Political, Academic, Scientific and Media establishments wants to lie about, well, basically anything. One of those variants is “jextraordinary”.That’s why the article goes on to say: “It’s pretty extraordinary to think about just how long it has been since these animals were last seen," observed project co-ordinator Robin Moore of Conservation International (CI). “The last time that the Mexican salamander was seen, Glenn Miller was one of the world’s biggest stars. The Omaniundu reed frog disappeared the year that Sony sold its first ever Walkman.”

He’s used the deceptive “seen” meme twice in succession, and then laid down the truth: that, from our perspective, the Omandiundu reed frog “disappeared” - winked out of existence - in 1979, due to the degradation of its etheric environment. And it was only in 2010 that the ether in the Congo returned to a state of health that would support the manifestation of this particular life form.

Stand, and witness the collapse of mean-spirited Western materialism.

image

(Mount Nimba Tree Frog)

The article continues: "Last seen in 1967, it lives in the Ivory Coast. A local scientist spotted it.

Where “seen” and “spotted” doubly reinforce the false meme that the gorgeous frog was there, all along, only no one looked for it with the required assiduousness for a very long while.

image

(Omaniundu Reed Frog)

The most recently seen of the three, Omaniundu was last noted in 1979. It lives in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Where “seen” and “noted” doubly reinforce the false meme that the stunning amphibian was there, all along, only no one took care to “note” it in a very long while.

image

(Cave Splayfoot Salamander)

Cave Splayfoot Salamander. The salamander is native to Mexico’s Hidalgo region.

Remember we just talked about purportedly-extinct amphibians popping up all over the place, and the false claim that a single more-assiduous search had led to all the bounty? In November 2010, “Latest stories” said “Pictures: “Mr. Burns” Toad, More New Amphibians Found”.

Where “found” reinforces the false meme that yet another pile of amphibians were there, all along, only no one looked for them with the required assiduousness for a very long while.

And where “more” amphibians is general, as is “new” amphibians, as is “amphibians”. As is “Mr. Burns” toad.

The article continues: “A beaked amphibian said to resemble The Simpsons’ Mr. Burns and a poison dart frog are among new species discovered in Colombia.”

Where “discovered” reinforces the false meme that two more amphibians were there, all along, only no one ever looked for them with the required assiduousness, previously.

And, while “beaked” amphibian is more specific than “new” amphibian, it is still general. And, I’m sorry to break it to you, but “said to resemble Mr. Burns” is also, wait for it, general. Lastly, “poison dart” frog is also, sigh, general.

In a gambit identical to that seen in the previous amphibian hit-piece that I just finished exposing, here multiple “discoveries” are also crammed together in one article, to give it as small a footprint as possible, and make it as unsearchable as possible. The same technique is used tirelessly in fish records, and I exhaustively document it each time it is used. Please don’t make me bring examples over here into this article.

And they’re claiming it was one, single expedition or project that made the discovery, using more-assiduous, genius-level toad-searching. Versus the truth, that new species of toad are popping up all over the place, driven by the Orgonite-driven return to health of the Earth’s etheric environment, regardless of geography. Countless Orgonite devices based upon the work of Wilhelm Reich are unknitting and transforming the ancient Death energy matrix built and expanded by our about-to-be-former dark masters, well, all the way back to Babylon, and before. And as a result the ether is returning to its natural, ages long state of life and vitality.

On an even brighter note, our species is so ignorant and unlettered that I’ve collected and researched virtually the entire written history of these subjects, as my thirty-some bored-to-distraction subscribers can readily attest. Since the folks in charge use standard code memes to refer to things, it’s impossible to miss the trail, once you begin looking for their unvarying tracks. So the trial will be over as quickly as it has begun. Indeed, it is already over.

I’m sure you’ve noticed that we’re deep into it with the new Columbian amphibian hit-piece, and, by deliberate design, we still don’t know the creatures’ names.

The article continues: “The newly discovered species include a cryptic beaked toad (Rhinella species), which resembles dead leaves and whose offspring skip the tadpole stage to develop directly into toadlets; an unknown toad with bright red eyes; and a new rocket frog (Silverstoneia species), a type of poison dart frog.

The words “mystery”, “baffled” and “puzzled” are memes, used, among numerous similar variants, whenever anyone in the wholly-controlled-and-coopted Political, Academic, Scientific and Media establishments wants to lie about, well, basically anything. One of those variants is “unusual”. That’s why the author goes on to say “This highly unusual species has scientists baffled – we know nothing about this species other than where it lives.”

That’s because it just winked backed into existence where it lives, or, more remarkably, has never existed, and just winked into existence there for the first time. I don’t know what the answer is, however I’m guessing it’s the former, in that “there’s nothing new under the Sun.”In May 2017, National Geographic said “‘Extinct’ venomous snake rediscovered”.

Where the author has used the general “venomous SNAKE” to obscure the actual name, to make the subject far less searchable. As a bonus, they’ve also omitted “South Africa”, the location of the find.

image

(Albany Adder)

The words “mystery”, “baffled” and “puzzled” are memes, used, among numerous similar variants, whenever anyone in the wholly-controlled-and-coopted Political, Academic, Scientific and Media establishments wants to lie about, well, basically anything. One of those variants is “jumping up and down”. That’s why the article goes on to say: ““We were literally jumping up and down hugging,” scientist says of finding the extremely rare Albany adder in South Africa. The team found four live animals. Only 12 individuals have been recorded since the species was identified in 1937.”

The words “mystery”, “baffled” and “puzzled” are memes, used, among numerous similar variants, whenever anyone in the wholly-controlled-and-coopted Political, Academic, Scientific and Media establishments wants to lie about, well, basically anything. One of those variants is “spectacular”.

That’s why a Phys.org article from May 2011 is headlined “Spectacular mammal rediscovered after 113 years – first ever photographs taken”.

image

(Red-crested Tree Rat)

The author has used the general “spectacular MAMMAL” to obscure the actual name, to make the subject far less searchable. As a bonus, they’ve also omitted “Columbia”, the location of the “discovery”. In an amazingly brazen gambit, they’ve called the animal literally showing up at the door a “discovery”.

The words “mystery”, “baffled” and “puzzled” are memes, used, among numerous similar variants, whenever anyone in the wholly-controlled-and-coopted Political, Academic, Scientific and Media establishments wants to lie about, well, basically anything. One of those variants is “unique”.

That’s why the article goes on to say “A unique and mysterious guinea-pig-sized rodent, not seen since 1898 despite several organized searches, bizarrely showed up at the front door of an ecolodge at a nature reserve in Colombia, South America.”

Can you see how they’ve once again withheld the name of the creature? “Despite several organized searches” is obvious bullshit, because it’s general. The tree rat is there, and visible, in the trees, or it is not, just like squirrels here in the U.S.

The article continues: “The magnificent red-crested tree rat (Santamartamys rufodorsalis), stayed for almost two hours while two research volunteers took the first photos ever of a creature the world thought would never be seen again.”

Where “seen” reinforces the false meme that the rodent that was admitted to be “spectacular” was there, all along, only no one looked for it with the required assiduousness for a very long while.

In June 2011, “Global Trees Campaign” said “Rare tree not seen since 1955 re-discovered in Sabah, Malaysia”.

Wait, what? Rediscovered? What, are they walking around like Ents in the Lord of the Rings?

The author has used the general “rare TREE” to obscure the actual name, to make the subject far less searchable.

image

(Keruing Jarang Tree)

The article continues: “Three individuals of a rare dipterocarp species that was thought to be extinct from Sabah have been found in the Siangau Forest Reserve. Not seen since 1955, Dipterocarpus lamellatus, commonly known as Keruing Jarang, was found during a survey of the area by a research team from the Forestry Department.”

In July 2013, NBC Los Angeles said “ ‘Rare’ Jellyfish With 25-Foot Long Tentacles ‘Appears’ in California”.

The author has used the general “rare JELLYFISH” to obscure the actual name, to make the subject far less searchable.

image

(Black Jellyfish)

“Appears” is complex. One one level, it’s a Middle Ages, mouth-breather thing to say. Yet it may be the cold truth - that species are reappearing in our environment as the Ether continues to improve in health to a level where their lives can be sustained. Even to the point of “winking back into existence”, from our perspective. The mechanics of life in this dimension and others not being precisely as we’ve been told. But that’s just speculation.

The article continues: “Several swimmers at a Southern California beach were stung by the ‘rare’ Black Jellyfish, a marine animal who’s tentacles can grow up to 30 feet long. … A breed not seen since 1920 reemerges and ‘scientists’ link it to ‘global warming’ ‘?

Where the general “scientists” is proof that no scientists were, in fact consulted for the article. Otherwise they’d have been quoted and named, according to strict journalistic rules. It’s just made up bluster from the generational Satanist propagandist at NBC Los Angeles. Not everyone at NBC Los Angeles is a generational Satanist, but all of them that write articles that get to the newswire.

We’ve also learned that ‘rare’ was used as a hedge a second time in the headline, in that something that shows up once every hundred years is beyond merely ‘rare’.

The fact that there’s a question mark behind the “global warming” plausible-deniability excuse is that the propaganda is well past its sell-by date, and is now back to trial-balloon status.

In November 2013, the U.K.’s Daily Mail wrote of “The Cookii ‘monster’: Huge ‘deadly’ pink jellyfish has been ‘discovered’ “

The author has used the general “Cookii MONSTER” to obscure the actual name, to make the subject far less searchable. As a bonus, the author also omitted “Australia”, the location of the discovery, to further “compartmentalize” the phenomenon.

image

(Crambione Cookie Jellyfish)

The article continues: “A jellyfish with a powerfully toxic sting has been rediscovered more than 100 years after the last recorded sighting of it. The ‘incredibly rare’ Crambione Cookii has not been seen since 1910 but has been recently ‘spotted’ off the coast of Queensland, Australia, where it was captured.”

“Spotted” reinforces the false meme that the fantastic jellyfish was there, all along, only no one looked for it with the required assiduousness for a very long while.

The servants of Death did what they could by immediately capturing and killing the creature, and the Mouthpiece of the State dubbed the jellyfish had been “spotted” and then “captured”. They falsely call it a “discovery” in the headline, then walk that back to “rediscovered”. They shook the “discovery” doll to distract you from the fact that it apparently winked back into existence.

Where the lurid-but-accurate “Incredibly rare”, is still a hedge back from “previously thought extinct”.

In August 2014, the U.K.’s Independent said “ ‘Rare’ Jellyfish SpottedFor First Time In 70 Years’”.

The author has used the general “rare JELLYFISH” to obscure the actual name, to make the subject far less searchable. As a bonus, the author also omitted “Italy”, the location of the discovery, to further “compartmentalize” the phenomenon.

“Spotted” reinforces the false meme that the fantastic jellyfish was there, all along, only no one looked for it with the required assiduousness for a very long while.

image

Where “rare”, while accurate, is still a hedge back from “previously thought extinct”. Something that shows up once every seventy years is beyond merely ‘rare’. It’s used as a hedge a second time as an excuse to not mention the actual name of the Jellyfish, which makes the subject much less searchable, and also increases the chance of you not going on to read the article. The propagandist knows that sixty to seventy percent of readers only read the headlines, so this tactic “compartmentalizes” the data with an effectiveness shown by the spectacular, conditioned ignorance of the majority of the populace.

The article continues: “Divers have spotted a species of jellyfish which hasn’t been seen since 1945! The Drymonema dalmatinum, also known as The Big Pink, was spotted last week of the coast of Italy. This gorgeous jellyfish was first discovered in the 1880s by a German naturalist, but then it was not seen again since the 1940’s.”

Two uses of “spotted” and another of “seen” hammer home the false meme that the fantastic jellyfish was there, all along, only no one looked for it with the required assiduousness for a very long while.

The article doesn’t suggest what led to the rare sighting, and continues to compartmentalize the phenomenon I’m documenting here by making no mention of other recent sightings of jellyfish previously thought extinct in other geographic locations.

In December 2017, insituscience said “Lost species of bee-mimicking moth rediscovered after 130 years in Malaysian rainforest”.

Where “rediscovered” reinforces the false meme that the gigantic moth was there, all along, only no one looked for it with the required assiduousness for a very long while.

Where the author has used the general “Lost SPECIES” to obscure the actual name, to make the subject far less searchable.

image

(Oriental Blue Clearwing Moth)

The article continues: “The rare oriental blue clearwing, that disguises itself as a bee, was spotted in the Malaysian rainforest.

Where “spotted” reinforces the false meme that the guinea pig-sized bee-moth was there, all along, only no one looked for it with the required assiduousness for a very long while.

In February 2019, dw.com said “Frog species believed extinct reappears in Ecuador”.

Where “reappears” reinforces the false meme that the dog-sized quadruped was there, all along, only no one looked for it with the required assiduousness for a very long while.

And where the author has used the general “frog SPECIES” to obscure the actual name, to make the subject far less searchable.

The article continues: “Scientists have rediscovered the marsupial horned frog – last seen over a decade ago and considered extinct. A colony of the amphibians was found during a recent expedition into an endangered rainforest in western Ecuador.”

image

(Marsupial Horned Frog)

In March 2019, the Hindu said “Wood snake, last seen in 1878, rediscovered by scientists”.

Where “rediscovered” reinforces the false meme that the stunningly bizarre frog was there, all along, only no one looked for it with the required assiduousness for a very long while.

And where the author has used the general “Wood snake” to obscure the actual name, to make the subject far less searchable.

image

(Point Endemic Brown Snake)

“The snake is a ‘point endemic’ (found only in Meghamalai). It was found in the same region that Colonel Beddome alluded to, and the morphological characters match with his specimen,” said Dr. Chaitanya, who found a female specimen. The snake he discovered was 235 mm long and uniformly dark brown.”

In April 2019, National Geographic said “Hawaiian flower, thought extinct, was rediscovered by a drone”.

Where “rediscovered” reinforces the false meme that the huge, stunning flower was there, all along, only no one looked for it with the required assiduousness for a very long while.

And where the author has used the general “Hawaiian FLOWER” to obscure the actual name, to make the subject far less searchable.

Hibiscadelphus wood Hibiscus)

The words “mystery”, “baffled” and “puzzled” are memes, used, among numerous similar variants, whenever anyone in the wholly-controlled-and-coopted Political, Academic, Scientific and Media establishments wants to lie about, well, basically anything. One of those variants is “startled”. That’s why the article goes on to say: “In late January, a drone flight made a startling discovery: Hibiscadelphus woodii, a relative of hibiscus last seen in 2009 and believed to be extinct, was still growing on the cliffside. The species was first discovered in 1991, named in 1995, and deemed extinct in 2016A legendary Ozark chestnut tree, thought extinct, was rediscovered in 2019.”

In February 2019, Audubon said “Confirmed: Two Endangered Seabirds Have Been Rediscovered on Oahu”

Where “rediscovered” reinforces the false meme that the large, highly-mobile seabirds were there, all along, only no one looked for it with the required assiduousness for a very long while.

And where the author has used the general “TWO endangered SEABIRDS” to obscure the actual name, to make the subject far less searchable.

image

(Hawaiian Petrel)

image

(Newell’s Shearwater)

The article continues: “Thought to be extinct on the Hawaiian Island for centuries, Newell’s Shearwaters and Hawaiian Petrels were found using acoustic monitoring.”

“They were so hard to see, we had to use special equipment to listen for them!”, goes the ruse. Look at the damn things. They’re the size of guinea pigs, and they fly around. They’re not vermin, nesting in holes in the ground. Which of course would still be found by honest, non generational-Satanist naturalists.

A “Global News” article from April 2020 is headlined “Jellyfish ‘spotted’ in Venice canal as coronavirus clear-up continues”.

Where “spotted” reinforces the false meme that the jellyfish were there in Venice’s canals all along, only no one looked for them with the required assiduousness for a very long while.

image

The words “mystery”, “baffled” and “puzzled” are memes, used, among numerous similar variants, whenever anyone in the wholly-controlled-and-coopted Political, Academic, Scientific and Media establishments wants to lie about, well, basically anything. One of those variants is “startling”.

That’s why the article goes on to say “A biologist in Italy recorded startling footage earlier this month of a near-transparent jellyfish swimming in the crystal-clear waters of the Venice canals as the city’s waterways continued to clear up amid the ongoing coronavirus lockdown.”

The “virus did it” meme continues: “Venice officials say the city’s canals have cleared up over the last month because boat traffic is no longer ‘stirring up sediment’ in the water. In other words, nature hasn’t ‘exactly’ “healed” from the pollution caused by humans, but it’s enjoying a ‘little’ break right ‘now’.

The “pollution” that the Covid is alleged to have alleviated is general. Not “exactly” healed is the Big Lie, told by a Trusted Authority Figure with the firmness of purpose that goes with complete honesty. An environment that is booming and burgeoning to an historically unprecedented level is flatly maintained to be “not ‘exactly’ healed”. The author hedges again that it’s only a “little” break, and that the little break is only taking place right now, and will stop in the future.
