Dr. Stephan A. Hoeller on Valentine's Day

Exactly four years ago today, Dr. Stephan A. Hoeller (author of GNOSTICISM: NEW LIGHT ON THE ANCIENT TRADITION OF INNER KNOWING and many other esoteric books) delivered the following lecture at the Ecclesia Gnostica in Los Angeles...

Day of the Holy Valentinus, February 13th 2022:

"Why is creation so weird? Why do all living beings fight each other and eat each other? Why is the great mantra of the universe 'Munch Munch Munch'? These are serious questions. They occurred to me when I was a child already, and my parents said, 'Oh, well, you shouldn't worry about that now... maybe later. Maybe later in life.'"

--Dr. Stephan A. Hoeller, 2-13-22

Matthew LaCroix on the "Mysterious Symbols" of a "Lost Civilization"

From Stacy Liberatore's 2-5-26 DAILY MAIL article entitled "Mysterious Symbols Spanning the Globe Hint at a Lost Civilization 38,000 Years Ago":

For centuries, mainstream archaeologists have dismissed the idea that an advanced civilization existed long before modern times.

Now, an independent researcher claims he has uncovered 'paradigm-shifting evidence of a lost civilization' that hid a sophisticated code through geometry, symbolism, and monument design across the globe to preserve its knowledge ahead of catastrophic events.

Matthew LaCroix told Daily Mail the discovery, sparked by a recent find in Egypt, links symbols across continents and dates back 38,000 to 40,000 years.

According to LaCroix, this civilization tracked cosmic cycles, anticipated global disasters, and embedded teachings about human origins, the structure of the universe, and divine existence into monuments and sacred sites.

His investigation began after identifying recurring giant T-shapes, three-level indents, and step pyramids carved into ancient stones worldwide.

'These specific symbols that are built in different size proportions, and the symbols are found in ancient stones around the world, are not supposed to exist; no cultures are supposed to have any cross-platform,' LaCroix explained.

The symbols appear in locations ranging from Turkey's Van region to South America and Cambodia.

According to LaCroix, the origin of this global system lies in eastern Turkey's Lake Van region at a site known as Ionis.

He described it as the earliest source of the civilization's symbols, architecture, and teachings, dating it to around 40,000 years old. He argues it preserves the original blueprint later carried to places such as Giza and Tiwanaku.

"A New Constellation of Orbital Data Centers"

From Alan Boyle's 2-2-26 COSMIC LOG article entitled "Elon Musk Lays Out a New Vision as SpaceX Acquires xAI":

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk says he’s making space-based artificial intelligence the “immediate focus” of a newly expanded company that not only builds rockets and satellites, but also controls xAI’s generative-AI software and the X social-media platform.

That’s the upshot of today’s announcement that SpaceX has acquired xAI. The Information quoted unnamed sources as saying that xAI was valued at $250 billion, while SpaceX’s value was set at a trillion dollars. That would make SpaceX the most valuable private company in the world — but because Musk held a controlling interest in both companies, those valuations may be somewhat subjective.

Ross Gerber, an investment adviser who tracks Musk’s business dealings, quipped on X that the world’s richest person decided to go ahead with the acquisition after “a short negotiation with himself.”

Musk said the combination of SpaceX and xAI would facilitate the creation of a new constellation of orbital data centers. SpaceX is already seeking approval from the Federal Communications Commission to put up to a million satellites in low Earth orbit for such a constellation.

The Links Between Jeffrey Epstein & 4chan Founder Christopher Poole

From Clara Molot's 2-5-26 VANITY FAIR article entitled "The New Epstein Files Are Reopening the Pizzagate Box":

Christopher Poole—better known by the handle “moot”—founded 4chan in 2003, creating what would become one of the internet’s most influential and socially corrosive forums. Its current events board, /new/, eventually emerged as a breeding ground for far-right conspiracies, meme warfare, and radicalization. The board became so volatile that Poole ultimately took it down in January of 2011.

According to the newly released documents, Epstein met with Poole in late October of 2011.

“There is a cool guy (KID) that you should meet,” Boris Nikolic—a doctor, biotech investor, and former adviser to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation—writes in an email to Epstein on October 20. In other messages, Nikolic describes Poole as “one of the greatest hackers” but also “very sensitive.”

“I liked mmot [sic] alot,” Epstein writes to Nikolic on October 24 after his and Poole’s introduction. “I drove him home, he is very bright.”

October 2011 is also when the /new/ replacement board, /pol/, was launched.

The timing may well be a coincidence. There is no evidence that Epstein influenced /pol/’s birth or 4chan’s moderation decisions, or that Poole, who stepped down as the administrator of 4chan at the beginning of 2015, had any direct involvement with Pizzagate the following year. One email does show that Poole hoped to meet Epstein again in 2012, but beyond that, the trail goes cold...
