213 - In transit in Belfast
🇹🇠🇬🇧 We’re in transit in Belfast after Bangkok. Reflections on temples and coffee spots, a deep dive into Mark Gober’s An End to the Upside Down Cosmos, Numo Pay for Bitcoin merchants, Audacity tips and why mainstream narratives feel like theatre. Plus Gnostic insights from Forbidden Faith.
🇹🇠🇬🇧 During the week, V and I travelled back to Belfast. We’re here only in transit, staying for a few days. If you’re in town and would like to meet up, please reach out - we’re catching up with family and friends
Before leaving Bangkok we made sure to get the most out of the nice warm weather with daily swimming in the rooftop pool and walks in the wonderful Parks and markets. We also got to enjoy some of the spectacular Bangkok temples and excellent restaurants. Thailand is a wonderful place to visit and you will meet some of the nicest people there - the country's history and Buddhist philosophy set it apart from most places you will be familiar with.
V has her favourite coffee shop in Bangkok and every day she gets to enjoy her books and reading with a great view of the comings and goings, CPS just outside Terminal 21. Likewise, I have a favourite coffee stand, operated by Benz (a Thai entrepreneur) - along Sukhumvit Road beside Soi 22. Both of these are recommended and CPS is a great place to meet visitors in town as many of you know!
Notwithstanding all the Geopolitical Theatre (more on that below), our travel was relatively smooth. We flew back via Helsinki and all the flights were pretty much on time. Once you awaken you will realise that the Empire needs business to continue, while at the same time causing fear and uncertainty to keep people under control and fighting with each other rather than exiting the matrix. What are you doing?
Book of the week
In recent weeks I really enjoyed reading Mark Gober’s Upside Down Cosmos. It is a provocative challenge to mainstream cosmology. Gober questions the Big Bang, heliocentrism and the globe model itself, arguing that the prevailing scientific narrative is an “upside-down” deception intended to diminish humanity’s sense of significance and purpose.
The book is structured in three parts: an examination of the current model and its inconsistencies; evidence suggesting a stationary Earth; and an exploration of the philosophical and spiritual implications of a purposeful, contained cosmos.

Part one questions the accepted model of the universe, pointing out unexplained scientific issues and assumptions. It discusses the Copernican Principle, which moved Earth from the center of everything to just a small part of a vast, empty space. It also critiques the Big Bang theory, explaining that concepts like Dark Matter and Dark Energy are used because current math doesn't match what we see and mainstream simply ignores all the evidence.
Part two presents evidence against the spinning globe idea, arguing for a stationary Earth. It highlights how experiments over long distances of water haven't shown the expected curve of a globe and how historical experiments, like the Michelson-Morley experiment can be interpreted to prove Earth doesn't move. Gober proposes that density and electromagnetism, rather than gravity, better explain why things fall. He also explores ancient ideas of a contained Earth, possibly under a dome or firmament.
Part three connects this alternative view to consciousness, suggesting that if Earth is a special, stationary place, it implies a Creator and a purpose for life. Gober argues the mainstream model leads to nihilism (the belief that life is meaningless), while his model points to spiritual significance.
If you have not studied the evidence, do not just dismiss these things.

🛠️ Project Updates
The following are updates from some projects that I am following, supporting and collaborating with. These are all part of the Parallel Systems that we need to build and use. What are you doing?
Going further with Cashu and Lightning
Numo Pay is an open-source, free Android payment terminal that enables merchants to accept Bitcoin payments in physical stores. It can run on any Android phone or standard POS hardware. The project emerged from stealth development over several months, driven by a desire to bring tap-to-pay functionality—ubiquitous in fiat payments—to the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Tools like this make bitcoin available for daily use for millions of people worldwide. They will be increasingly important as people wake up to their money being devalued and they seek the better alternative. You might want to look into it a bit and get a head-start.
Audacity - a tool you should know how to use
Audacity is one of the best audio editors you can use completely for free! Import your audio files, trim them and apply outstanding effects - now in real time. Audacity supports microphone recording, a partial support on MIDI files and audio system recording.
I often find good guided meditations and similar material (recall our discussion on The Gateway Tapes). You will find that some are better than others and parts of each can be useful in combination with others.
Audacity gives you the tool you need to make your own compilations - with just the best and most useful parts that you appreciate in the sequence and combination that works best for you. Perhaps you already do this?
Related tools in the toolkit are yt-dlp to download material, ffmpeg to convert formats and whisperX to make transcripts (useful for editing and retrieval) - what tools do you find most helpful and for what?
Principles of Economics
I am continuing to share Saifedean's Lecture Series. In Lecture 3 he argues that time is the ultimate resource and that all economic scarcity derives from the scarcity of human time, not from physical limits of natural resources. This framing, drawn from Julian Simon's work, reorients economics around economizing time rather than managing finite material stocks.

I highly recommend that you do take the time to listen to these lectures. You will learn much about how the world really works. Spoiler: it is not what you are told.

The following are links from my Liferea RSS feeds - learn, enjoy and share.
Current events and looking forward
One thing you can be certain: whatever you are seeing in the Mainstream sources is propaganda. Just like with all of the False Flag events (9/11, Boston Marathon, Butler Pennsylvania, Charlie Kirk, London 7/7 and dozens more) the mainstream sources will never tell you the truth.
We are certainly now "in the fog of war". With hindsight truth will emerge for those who look diligently. That said, below are two somewhat contrarian but well-researched analyses that likely do come close to to what is really happening and coming next.
Simon bases his analysis on decades spent in the Financial Machine - he understands well how money really works and flows in the world and how this has created supranational forces that drive political and geopolitical events. Listen and you will learn much.
Roger Price
After that, consider Jason's take. He also has decades of research, albeit from a rather different perspective and using different techniques. He shares insights from centuries of history where cycles repeat, involving recurring groups and forces. He avoids the censorship of current media by using historical books and authoritative sources. For current events he is well-connected, including to US military and military-family sources.
Roger Price
Coming from different perspectives, Simon and Jason tend to agree on much and they have similarly aligned takes on upcoming events. Be in no doubt - Iran is the New Covid. You are in the early stages of another planned and artificially created fear-event (like Covid) that is intended to reshape the world.
Just like with Covid - you should not participate. Do not believe what you see in mainstream media propaganda sources. I recommend that you go further and delete those sources since they are the main tool in the manipulation.
This has long been known - all in plain sight
The corruption of the rulers of society has long been known and many have done their best to wake people up and inform them. It is true that "the love of money is the root of all evil" - once you understand that, it all becomes clear.
According to the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John: upon entering the Temple courts Jeaus found merchants selling animals for sacrifice and money changers exchanging foreign currency for profit, producing nothing valuable. He responded with forceful action:
He overturned the tables of the money changers (bankers)
He drove out those buying and selling purely for profit (traders)
He drove out those selling animals for sacrifice (read Epstein files)
For those of you who are just waking up to this I recommend "Anatomy of the State" as a starter book to explain things. It is freely available in PDF and Audiobook and at only 60 pages, you can read it in one hour.
After that you might consider Pawns in the Game by William Carr - as we discussed a few weeks ago - an easy one hour listen and the PDF is also available. He also writes from 40 years of personal experience of working "in the machine"
Lastly, this short documentary on Bill Cooper can also help you understand why the world is in the state that you see it today.

Bottom line of all of this: get on with your life and what is important to you, with those that are important to you. Exit the Matrix. Do Not Comply. You are not here to save the world, but you can and should save your world. You have more power than you imagine and once you appreciate interconnectedness, community and all those things that the Empire tries to suppress you will realise your gifts.
🤔 Closing Thoughts
On the flight from Bangkok to Helsinki I had plenty of time to read this excellent book. Do get the book and the accompanying audiobook (it's very well done).
Forbidden Faith is Richard Smoley's comprehensive popular history of Gnosticism. The book traces the Gnostic legacy through multiple historical threads:
- Its ancient roots in the Gospel of Thomas, discovered in Egypt
- Early second-century Gnostic communities of the Roman Empire
- The Manichaeans of Central Asia
- Medieval Cathars, who were exterminated by the Catholic Church in the Albigensian crusades
Click each page to see it full size - recommended reading
Smoley examines how Gnosticism was publicly repressed by the Catholic Church—earning it the label of "forbidden faith"—yet survived underground in various forms of Christianity, with its influence persisting secretly throughout the ages.
