  1. Tale as old as time. Just keeps rhyming. The elites are practicing pedophilia and stealing the blood of children is just reworked Jewish blood libel. The whole witch craze in the early modern period was a moral panic. It is a lot more like this satanic conspiracy than many know. The ‘elaborated theory of witchcraft’ (name some scholars use to describe the witch craze) was not just a bunch of people suspecting crones of wrecking the weather. It was believed to be an international conspiracy where witches (mostly women) were carried away to a satanic church or sometimes a synagogue (because anti-semitism just makes every crazy conspiracy better I suppose) and they would have perverse orgies with Satan and demons. Then they would go out to use their magic to fight Christendom and try to bring things down. This was seen as a sign of the end of days. The irony is that the whole witch craze got the idea of what witches were like from the Malleus Maleficarum, a pamphlet created by a priest. That priest was basically a sex pest who made a woman’s life hell to the point that the law got involved. Then he wrote about how women were evil and their sexiness came from Satan and all that fun stuff. He would have fit right in with the “walking pornography” type stuff of our day in some Christian churches. Kramer, the writer, got thrown out of Tyrol for being a nut. He wrote the thing as a kind of revenge or self-justification about how he was wronged. Top theologians in the Inquisition said it was all wrong. Then one pope spoke of it approvingly and the whole salacious nature of it made it popular. Sex sells and all of that. The big shift was that magic was a sin before. People tried to practice it anyways but it was like fornication or gluttony or any other sin. It is a sin but you confess and repent and move on. Kramer insisted that satanic magic was real and was actually heresy. So suddenly practicing magic wasn’t just a sin. It was a defiance of the faith itself. Then things went crazy. Before this magic was usually seen as a delusion or fraud. Now it was suddenly real and came straight from the devil! So people died in droves. Mostly women. King James (yes, that King James) bought into the witch craze and assumed many unlucky events in his life were coordinated by this cabal of witches. His underlings were glad to let him put the blame on witches because in some cases it was probably their fault. The Q-Anon conspiracy has a similar theology. The worst sins come from secret traitors to the nation as a whole. They commit secret depraved rites. There was even a Second Coming equivalent where the anointed President chosen by God would expose all the evil “deep state” witches and kill them all en masse. They always involve incredibly improbable conspiracies involving large numbers of people that somehow all communicate and coordinate together even when they have no reason to. They make no sense if you think about them and have a basic understanding of what actually motivates people. Ballard is a little late to the party on this conspiracy cycle and it probably won’t catch on. I wouldn’t worry. We will do this again in a few years with a new flavor. Communists, Satanists, Deep State….what new imaginary enemy within will we think is about to wipe us out?
  2. New research that PROVES critics wrong!!!! Then presents decades old research and theories. I remember some of the arguments on this board and its predecessors. Also that would be a really really stupid cipher. The ciphers are whole concepts and ideas that take two sentences to write out. How often would they be repeated that you would need that specific word? The “pure language” thing was a real thing though. John Dee got caught up in and/or scammed by it. The Enochian angelic conversations he had also involved the secrets of eternity and also a desire to find lost treasure.
