Mm-hmm And you know Alex is he's having a tough time things are rough sure and I thought we would keep track of You know keep checking in on what he's up to see where he's going in the present day primary ding-dong day
Starting point is 00:04:32 No, no, I realized it's Sunday. Oh, no Sunday Sun Sun God Sunday and that means The Sun God is upon, and we must skip away from our primary ding-dong to talk about Mystery Babylon. Oh man, you pulled it from the sun. I didn't do that. That wasn't delivered as well as I hoped it would be. It got me.
Starting point is 00:05:00 It was a surprise enough for me, so it works. It works. Well, I'll take it. Okay. So, Jordan, do you want to try and... Catch us up to speed? Yeah, assess where we're at. As the pupil, the eye of Horus in the sun god Osiris's... I think we ended at what I would classify as a solid twist. We had a solid twist ending where it was revealed that somehow it was not plagiarism.
Starting point is 00:05:27 No, it still was. It was plagiarism all along. You see? Bill had been stealing from this book by A. Ralph Epperson and then said at the end of the last episode, hey, just to show you that I'm not making this up, I stole all this from this book. Exactly, yes.
Starting point is 00:05:45 There was a full on, ah ha ha, I was doing it. Yeah, but meanwhile he had changed the text along the way to make it appear that he wasn't reading a book. But leaving that aside, what do we know? Oh, oh, boy. I wonder, I wonder if we know anything. Well, the New Age is an attack on Christianity. We know that. Sure, sure. I wonder I wonder if we know anything well the new age Is an attack on Christianity?
Starting point is 00:06:13 Sure Horus is but I feel like we left behind the Osiris cult a while back And we're stuck in What was it? What was the most recent bogeyman who oh lord Maitreya? Yes, that's right. Yeah lord Maitreya the new age coming Savior lord Maitreya. Yes, that's right. Yeah, Lord Maitreya the new age coming Savior Lord Maitreya, right? Yeah, right. Um, well that I think we had the sort of Establishing of the Osiris stuff sure and the Egyptian nonsense, right? And then we we were jumping all over the place Yeah, and it still relates back to them. Right.
Starting point is 00:06:45 But there's nothing connecting. We need, we're on Witch Watch. We need witches. Mm-hmm. I say that we have to have a Knights Templar. If there's no Knights Templar, this is bullshit. Templars come up here. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Briefly. All right. All right. Maybe not in the way you'd want them to. Sure. But I do like the idea of being on Witch Watch. Yeah. We gotta on Witch Watch. Yeah, we gotta have Witch Watch.
Starting point is 00:07:06 There's gotta be witches. So we start off here on lecture number seven. And Bill begins with just getting to some primary fucking sources. Now folks, the Dallas Morning News on October 1st, 1989 published this story. Anglican leader callss for Unity Under Pope. The byline is Associated Press. Rome, Anglican Leader, Archbishop Robert Runcie calls Saturday for all Christians to accept the Roman Catholic Pope as a common leader presiding in love. For the Universal Church, I redo the plea, he said, could not all Christians
Starting point is 00:07:44 come to reconsider the kind of primacy the Bishop of Rome, the Pope, exercised within the early church? Again, folks, that was in the Dallas Morning News, October 1st, 1989. So Bill is reading this story trying to set up the idea that there's people trying to create a one world religion, presumably under the Pope. And that begins with creating one Christianity, and then it expands outward from there. In fairness, this is just about the head of the Anglican Church saying that he hoped that they could reunite with the Catholic Church because they're all Christians.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Or as he put it, quote, the walls of our division do not reach as high as heaven. So Runcie's head of ecumenical affairs was quoted in the Duluth News Tribune as saying, quote, talks about closer relations have been going on steadily for 30 years. I'm sure it will happen eventually because the founder of Christianity wanted one church. That's a little poke. The founder of Christianity. Yeah, the founder of Christianity. That one guy. The one guy who did it. The guy who gave it his name. Yeah, so we're working on it, the guy who gave it his name. Yeah, so we're working on it.
Starting point is 00:08:47 The Anglican Church only exists really because Henry VIII wanted to get divorced and the Pope wouldn't let him, so he created the Church of England headed by the Archbishop of Canterbury who would allow the divorce. So these two coming back together is less crazy than all kinds of other sects of Christianity perhaps or even other religions uniting. Right. No, I feel like it would be a stain on my religious belief theology if I were to just
Starting point is 00:09:14 go like, oh, by the way, my entire religious belief is based on one guy wanting to get a divorce and another guy not letting him. Sure, sure. Yeah. The break is there. Yeah. I'm not saying that those are the only differences between the two, because they've grown in different directions. Of course they have. But yeah. One's in England, the other's in Rome. They're going to go in
Starting point is 00:09:34 different directions. That makes sense. Right. It's a couple miles apart. Yeah, absolutely. What is that? Like six miles? Uh huh. Well, it depends on what year it is. Well, I know that all roads lead to Rome. So from England, you could get there. Well, they did take over England for a while. Sure. So Bill's got another quote here, another primary fucking source. All right. This story appeared in the Bakersfield, California, August 27th, 1989. Baptists and Catholic theologians find Carmen Graham, Associated Press, New York.
Starting point is 00:10:06 Southern Baptists and Roman Catholics, the nation's two largest denominations, generally have been regarded as doctrinally far apart, but their scholars find they basically agree. The 163 page report is seen as the most full-scale mutual examination of respective positions of the two traditions, achieving it was an unprecedented experience for Southern Baptists, commonly averse to ecumenical affairs. The talks, sponsored by the Catholic Bishops' Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs and the Southern Baptist Department of Interfaith Witness, involved 18 meetings between 1978 and 1988. Again, that appeared in the Bakersfield,
Starting point is 00:10:46 California on August 27, 1989. Now, I want you to listen to me very carefully during this broadcast, for the message tonight is extremely important. And understand that I am not attacking Catholics or anyone else. I am merely giving you the results of our research and sometimes the results of this research is disturbing. So this, I'm glad the bill's not attacking Catholics. That's nice of him. Yeah. He's reading a news story about a report that came out of a series of meetings between Catholics and Southern Baptists over the span of 10 years looking to find their similarities and differences. Sure. One span of ten years, looking to find their similarities and differences.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Sure. One might ask why these groups decided to sit down and examine their beliefs, and one of the big drivers of it was that there was a real anti-Catholic sentiment in the United States. Many of the colonists who came to the United States at the start, they were fleeing from the Church of England, which was basically the same as the Catholic Church to them. Over time, this anti-Catholic strain would reappear in things like the Klan and the opposition to JFK's candidacy, and this series of meetings between religious figures was meant not to unite the
Starting point is 00:11:54 two churches, but to increase their understanding of each other. Like people calling Catholics Papists and like, oh, you, like, you don't, why do you revere the saints? You know, like, all that stuff leads to tension, misunderstanding, stigma. So the report stresses that both groups view salvation as God's gift to mankind, but it's also very clear that they take different approaches. The Southern Baptist tradition is connected to the Bible and the experience of the individual, whereas the Catholic views, it places more importance on tradition, sacraments, and the people of God, the body of the church as opposed to the individual.
Starting point is 00:12:33 It is now 2025, and the Baptists and Catholics are still definitely two distinct churches. So if this was a major piece of combining them under the Pope into one thing, that effort failed. Sure. So Bill, I don't, I'm not convinced by these, these news articles that he's collected. What I, what I find comforting, and what I find delightful about religion is that in general, most of these reports would be exactly identical across all religions. General vibes very similar on the good side. What people argue about is, does the bishop actually turn that cracker into Jesus's skin? Does he?
Starting point is 00:13:15 Does he actually do it? That's... You don't need to argue about that. This literally will come up later. I believe it. You don't need to argue about it. It doesn't help anybody. Nobody's getting better Jesus because of Jesus. You don't need to argue about it. It doesn't help anybody. Nobody's getting better Jesus because of Jesus
Starting point is 00:13:26 You know, yeah, and I think that you know coordinate not coordination That's the wrong word but like communication and openness between people understanding the differences of their beliefs Sure, and and how they express them. I don't think that leads to everybody becoming one thing No, I think it leads to less fighting over the cracker Yeah, yeah, what do we do it guys guys stop? What do we do it? But at the same time we can't take away and bill will not take away from the fact that Religion has caused the most wars in history sure You see folks more wars have been fought and more blood has been shed in the name of religion
Starting point is 00:14:05 than any other cause, perhaps all other causes. Countless millions have been slaughtered in the name of God, Allah, Buddha, Muhammad, Christ for thousands of years, Christian killing Jews, Jew hating Muslims, the Muslim against the Hindu, Christian fighting Christian, Shiite versus Sunni, seek against Hindu, endless rivers of blood supposedly shed to rid the world of evil men and make way for peace. And of course, it never happens. And that's what they say about this New World Order, that it's going to rid the world of evil men and make way for a thousand years of peace. So at this point I had enough context to try and find out what Bill was plagiarizing this week, and it turns out that he's reading a pamphlet titled, Why Protestants, Why Catholics, Should Christians Unite?
Starting point is 00:14:57 This was a tract that was put out by a group called Bible Sabbath, who themselves were cribbing from another source, which they, unlike Bill, were upfront about. From their text, quote, this publication contains excerpts from the bestselling classic America in Prophecy by E.G. White, originally published 100 years ago under the title The Great Controversy. E.G. White was one of the founders of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, and this piece that Bill's reading is a work of Seventh-day
Starting point is 00:15:25 Adventist propaganda, which he's not revealing to the audience. It's not a product of research and a fair look at Protestants and Catholics, it's a treatise meant to evangelize for a specific other church. Bill obscuring the context of what he's reading is a serious breach of ethics and would lead me to suspect that he's invested in promoting Seventh-day Adventism. If that were his goal, that's fine, but he's misleading people by pretending this is some grand piece of research into the New World Order that he and his people have done. This is about the mystery religion that runs the world. This is just a tract meant to get people to convert to Seventh Day Adventism. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:05 Yeah, there is a fine line between evangelism and advertising, isn't there? If you can turn both into a very small pamphlet, maybe there's not as much of a difference as you might like. This is not a small pamphlet. It's 26 pages long. That's a long pamphlet. Yeah. That's a novella.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Yeah, and actually by the time this ends, Bill has not even gotten like 10 pages into it. So we may see it continue into episode eight. I see. Now here's what I expect from my pamphlets. More illustrations. Hmm. I think you what you lose in illustrations in this you gain exclamation points. I want to go back to illuminated texts. We got to get back to to the to Blake get back to Robert Blake Not whoa, no different Blake which Blake Robert Blake's guy who killed his wife. Yeah, different Blake. Yeah Painter so Bill is just stealing again. Yeah, he's up to his old tricks Yep, and I thought I thought we dealt with this at the end of the last episode. But apparently we didn't.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Could the long desired universal peace be just around the corner? Could this succeed? Is it actually possible for men to forge a lasting peace on the anvil of compromise? Or could it be that we are naively forging not a new World Order but rather the One World Order of Apocalyptic Prophecy? Or is it all an invention of the mind of man throughout the ages to manipulate large masses and populations of people? I make no judgment and I do not try to answer all of these questions. You must do that in your own mind. But I must ask those questions, for many of you have never even thought to ask them. While controversial, folks, it is not the purpose of this program, the Hour of the Time, to disparage or attack the honest
Starting point is 00:18:01 convictions of any sincere persons persons whatever their politic or faith So in the original text it says quote while controversial It's not the purpose of this publication to disparage or attack bill replaced this publication with this program the hour of the time I don't really know what to say here Like I don't have a lot of respect left for this guy as a creator at all yeah, if you were willing to insert the name of your radio show as like the creator of the material that you're reading when you're just stealing it, it's shit. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, what are we doing? He already said it
Starting point is 00:18:42 the last time, you know? I used to think that at least he put some effort in yeah I don't think he does he's reading. He's just reading a pamphlet to me that bums me out Well, he's reading a pamphlet and periodically sort of ranting a little bit, which is exactly what Alex does but with tweets Yep, so it kind of connects all of this legacy. Yeah, like it makes more sense Yeah, they're all kind of frauds you wouldn't do this if you wanted to do work. If you wanted to work hard, you would do something that's not this. This is there for people who don't want to work at it. It's one of two things. It's either you don't want to work at it or you realize that if you did work on it a little bit harder, there's no depth to what you're doing and you would not be
Starting point is 00:19:24 able to create the same appearance. If you dwelled on this a little bit longer, you'd be like, well, you know what, maybe the world isn't run by an Osiris cult. Yeah. Yeah. You know, to a certain extent, there is the profitability areas are digging all the way into it and really giving it everything you've got or staying completely surface level. Anything in the middle is worthless.
Starting point is 00:19:52 Yeah. Yeah. And I think that there's a, I think it's impossible to determine lazy versus like, worried that if you try, you'll invalidate your premise. Those are very, they come out the same. It leads to a very like lazy like a fox kind of thing. You're like, I don't know if I trust any of your bullshit, but eh.
Starting point is 00:20:13 So anyway, we are gonna hear him read from this pamphlet for a bit, but despite the fact that this is a religious piece that he's reading, This is not a religious show. Is he a Seventh-day Adventist? I'm not sure. Okay. You see, our purpose is to bring out facts and principles which have a bearing upon coming events.
Starting point is 00:20:34 For those of you who may not realize that this is not a religious show. This is not a religious show. This is a show that is designed to educate. Illuminate, if you will, and that's very ironic. Is it? Because we are illuminating those who call themselves illumined, who have been causing us misery for thousands of years.
Starting point is 00:21:02 So Bill can say that this isn't a religious show, but he's reading an evangelical tract from the Seventh Day Adventists, pretending it's the product of his own research, and presenting it to the audience as a non-religious thing. In his head he might think that what he's doing is educational and not religious, but it doesn't matter. His laziness is required that he steal from explicit religious propaganda in order for him to fill time on the show, so this is a religious show. Also in the text it says, quote, its purpose, referring to the text, is to bring out facts
Starting point is 00:21:33 and principles which have a bearing upon coming events. Bill changed its to our, so he's... Good stuff. Yeah. Nailing it. Yeah. So he's claimed ownership of it by the changing of that word and that's shit. And when you ask, is Bill a Seventh-day Adventist?
Starting point is 00:21:48 And I say, I don't know. I'm actually not sure he knows. Yeah, that's, well, I mean, there's a part of me that my immediate question then is if this is not a religious show, let's go the other direction. What is a religious show? What is your benchmark for the amount of religion that can be put into one show thereby making it a religious show is the 700? Club right right is the Jim Baker show a religious show is it talking he's talking about food buckets a lot of the time That's not really religious right what is it an amount of?
Starting point is 00:22:21 Content that's based on religion or is it just like I don't want it to be a religious show So I don't want to be looked at as exactly yeah So if that's the case then you're just lying to me which makes your religion kind of okay with lying Which is a bad religion, so you shouldn't make a religious show. You know it's a really bad religion What that banned bad religion go? So the bad black Sabbath, but shit. I already fucked it up so the the the issue to with the lying is that like He's not being upfront with the audience what this is
Starting point is 00:22:51 Yeah And so the religious nature of it isn't even able to be fully understood by the recipient of the information Yeah, and that to me is just like boom That's dirty. That's dirty business. I think one of the fun things about these people is that a true guiding light is that the things they are insecure about, they are insecure about for a good reason. You know, like for most people, I think oftentimes we look upon our insecurities as something that's self-generated to kind of keep us down. When this guy goes, I'm not doing a religious show, he's doing that because he is doing a religious show. Yeah. And he's saying, I'm not making this up because he's essentially making this up.
Starting point is 00:23:35 Exactly. Exactly. The things he's insecure about are like, oh yeah, you should be insecure about those. Those are insecure. Yep. Bad foundation. this this next clip just Bill is stealing from the text and then I just like I got a real waft of Alex Okay, as Winston Churchill once observed both the farther backward you can look the farther forward You can see and that is really the secret why my predictions have been so accurate, so accurate that at this moment I am the most successful and accurate prophet on the face of this earth. But I'm not really a prophet, I'm a messenger.
Starting point is 00:24:16 And they're not prophecy that I give you. They're predictions based upon actual study, research of history and of the plan of those who call themselves the guardians of the secrets of the ages, the practicers of that religion called Mystery Babylon. Listen to that, it's just striking. Alex is doing a Bill impression. This is exactly the same kind of game that Alex tries to play with his public persona. He's the most successful and accurate prophet on earth
Starting point is 00:24:46 But he also knows these things because he studies so much He predicted 9-eleven because he was studying the globalists and how they operated he knows their plans But also God told him also I'm reading Direct word by word for word other stuff to you. Mm-hmm. I'm not even predicted. Yeah, there's nothing there There's a there's nothing there. There's a game of prophet and scholar that you are neither and you pretend to be both. And that is Alex is whether he stole it from Bill or not, the two of them are peas in a pod. It is the perfect amount of like if people
Starting point is 00:25:25 love honesty if you can fake that you got it made you know it's just that perfect mm-hmm yep so let me ask you a question yeah real quick do you think that there were a bunch of people around Winston Churchill who were really fed up with his quoting you know like him just doing all the oh the further for just people just being like oh god not again, man I'm sure with Ben Franklin. Yeah, they were yeah I don't know if Winston Churchill crossed into the like Annoying with your quips. Oh fuck me. You're too quotable. Oh, yeah great another one
Starting point is 00:25:58 Jesus Christ man who talks like that talk to me like a person right? You know it's it's these these historical figures They were too aware of the fact that they were gonna become historical figures So they talked like historical figures all the time, right? It's annoying. Yeah, it's very annoying so you know we're trying to wrestle with the question of whether or not bill is himself a Seventh-day Adventist sure and This this started to make me think that maybe he is. Okay. Paganism, while appearing to be vanquished, became the conqueror. Pagan doctrines, ceremonies, and superstitions were incorporated into the faith and worship of the
Starting point is 00:26:50 professed followers of Christ. And the And other changes were made. You see, the day of rest was changed from the seventh day to the first day. Why? Because the first day was the date that the pagan religion worshiped the sun, Osiris, the light, Lucifer, the intellect. And so the pure and simple teachings of Christ were corrupted beyond recognition. So about the first half of that clip is Bill reading from this pamphlet, but the other half is him. So when he's talking about the changing of the day of rest of the Sabbath, that's him talking, not reading from the text. And that's an important part of Seventh Day Adventism, is the changing of the Sabbath
Starting point is 00:27:50 from Saturday to Sunday. See this is what I'm saying. This is the type of shit we're arguing about. Days aren't even real, man. Days aren't real. There's no first or seventh day, there's just time. It never begins. God doesn't care about days. He does. Oh, okay's just time. It never begins. God doesn't care about days.
Starting point is 00:28:05 He does. Well, I mean, if you believe in religion or Christianity, then one of the commandments is remember and keep the Sabbath holy. So like, I understand where you're coming from, but I also think that it's, you know, you're rejecting one of the big ten. Every day is the Sabbath if you want it, you know? Take a day. I guess you could live that way. You're going to get into a little bit of a... But what do we agree on? Do the whole being good to people thing.
Starting point is 00:28:35 Don't argue about what day it is. Sure. You know? Fine. I'm less interested in that and more interested in the fact that Bill is expressing one of the cornerstone beliefs of Seventh-day Adventism. Yeah, one of the places where it becomes like doctrine and practice overlap. So it makes me think that he at least is on that, whether or not he is a member of the Seventh-day Adventist sure he is he's on board with that Yeah, they're their belief that the devil changed the day of Sabbath. Okay, let me ask you a question
Starting point is 00:29:14 How do that like if a day was changed? early on right if we if we drop a day if Right if we if we drop a day if early on calendar is just like oops We forgot this day doesn't that mean that they've never done it on the Sabbath what well, but what do you mean? But well, I mean if a calendar dropped a day like a thousand years ago, right? Then it's actually one day earlier or later than whatever day it is. Well, no Because you'd still periodically get it right. I Mean it would just that how it works. Yeah, I genuinely don't know how it works No, it would because if you if you went to like a six-day week or whatever now sure you would still have
Starting point is 00:29:59 like a Sunday over like Every five weeks or so the Sundays would line up with what they would be on a seven-day calendar Right. Okay, so you'd still be getting some of them Okay But that kind of rule runs the whole like missing the day makes everything evil thing, right? Sure, if you're if you're like already missing days, even if you're trying to keep the day Mm-hmm. So then you know, don't worry about the day so much. Look, I'm not here arguing for days. That's not my position. I'm just saying it's very...
Starting point is 00:30:31 And I'm just saying that that's one of the ten. I get where you're coming from, but it's not crazy that someone would care about that. Listen, I understand. I'm not saying that it is crazy. So, Bill, a lot of this is just him on the text. Yeah. But he does end up riffing a bit off to the side. Alright. As Christians consented to lower their standards, a union was formed between Christianity and
Starting point is 00:31:00 paganism. Though the worshippers of idols professed to be converted, they united with the Church, still clinging to their idolatry, only changing the objects of their worship to images of Jesus and even of Mary and the saints. But they still worshiped the same gods, and they always have. If you look at an aerial view of the Vatican, you will see that the outer courtyard is a round temple of the sun, exactly as the Druids and the Celts. Are all round things temples to the sun? And that in the center of the temple to the sun, to a Cyrus, stands the symbol of the lost word of Freemasonry. The phallus, the
Starting point is 00:31:48 generative force, the penis of Osiris, the Oblisk. Oh. You see folks, the Roman Empire never fell. It just became the Catholic Church. So that part wasn't from the text. Yeah. Stuff about the penis and whatever. Yeah, that makes sense. That was Bill. You leave that out of the pamphlet. Yeah, he's going off the beaten path a little bit to bring his Osiris penis cult into this.
Starting point is 00:32:17 Right. That would be a bit of a left turn for the rest of this pamphlet to just be like, oh, by the way, all Catholics are worshipping the sun god Osiris and there's a penis. Whatever. Anyways, back to the, let's think about the, yeah. Yeah. So yeah, I think that there's a preoccupation with Phallus. Sure.
Starting point is 00:32:34 That Bill is certainly manifesting. Yeah. In his studies. I mean, it's hard. Hey. No. Once you start looking for penises you're gonna find them all over the place. They're everywhere. You know, so if you notice a penis you're just gonna see a penis forever. Sure. It's rough. Yeah. So Bill is like just reading this pamphlet. Yeah. That's
Starting point is 00:32:59 most of what this episode is. And then at one point he did this and I thought it was very strange The Roman Empire never fell It just became The Catholic Church And the Roman Emperor nearly changed his name from Emperor to Pope Now for those of you who may think that I'm crazy and that I've lost my mind, I'm going to read you verbatim from a book entitled
Starting point is 00:33:32 Dungeon, Fire and Sword. It is the complete history of the Knights Templar and the Crusades, written by John J. Robinson, author of Born in Blood. And I'm going to start at the second, third paragraph on page 414 and the chapter entitled Jesus Wept 1292-1305. That's a date. Those are dates, folks. In London, Edward sent for the master of the night's Templar in England, Brian DeJay. This is really weird because Bill is specifying the book that he's about to read out of. Yeah. We're about 25 minutes into this episode where he's just been stealing from a Seventh-day Adventist pamphlet and he's never shown any interest in telling listeners where he's
Starting point is 00:34:22 getting his script from. But now we have a book about the Templars and Bill is telling them what paragraph he's reading. This shows me that he knows how to cite a text when he wants to, which makes this general behavior that he engages in even worse. This is... because this book isn't cited in the pamphlet. Those news articles at the beginning of the episode about the Anglican guy recognizing the Pope, that's all from the pamphlet. Everything else has been pretty much just from that pamphlet. See, this is, like, I'm having it backwards. You say this shows that he knows how to cite things. I say that this shows this man is crazy. He's not even plagiarizing right. You
Starting point is 00:35:05 know, like this is crazy. This is just insane behavior. No, I disagree. I think it shows an awareness that this book could be looked at as a credible source. Whereas this Seventh Day Adventist pamphlet isn't something that Bill wants to take responsibility for. This is what my entire show is. I'm stealing this. If it were a more credible source, then maybe he would come out with it. This bolsters him.
Starting point is 00:35:35 Okay, wait. So by claiming that he's saying these things, it's less, okay. So if he was saying that he was reading from the Seventh Day Adventist pamphlet, people would find him less credible than if he's just reading the Seventh Day Adventist pamphlet, passing it off as something that he's saying. Whereas with this thing, by quoting this book, you increase credibility versus just reading it, which would decrease credibility.
Starting point is 00:36:07 Yeah. Okay. It makes you look like more of a scholar to cite this book or whatever, but it does not make you look like a scholar to cite a Seventh Day Adventist pamphlet. I think that's the aid that this pointing to that book gets you that obscuring the source of the pamphlet doesn't. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if that's how it works. I don't either.
Starting point is 00:36:29 But if that's the motivation, I can understand what you're saying. Yeah, it's a way of me making sense of why he's pointing to this and not the bigger picture. So he just, I mean, when you understand what he's doing and you see the way he's just stealing shit, it makes clips like this really piss me off So that I may not be accused of invention folks Everything that I'm giving you in this broadcast is coming right out of the writings of the historians of the Catholic Church of the Protestant Church of the Roman Empire of the Knights Templar, and many others. You see, I'm not inventing any of this.
Starting point is 00:37:10 It happens to be historical fact. And if you have eyes and can see, the Emperor, now the Pope, to gain converts from heathenism, unsound doctrine, superstitious rites, and the adoration of images and relics were gradually introduced into Christian worship. So this is where Bill's act begins to look nefarious to me. He's claiming that everything that he's presenting to the audience is historical research and all that, which is supported by this reference to that book, Dungeon, Fire, and Sword. I believe that Bill specifically cited that book so he could
Starting point is 00:37:45 get away with saying this, which is meant to cover for the fact that the rest of this has been stolen from this pamphlet. I think that that's part of the reason that you cite this book to make it look more like... Okay. It's a double bluff. Yeah. Gotcha. I think. All right. By citing, it's like telling you I'm lying to you as a way of. Yeah. Gotcha. I think. All right. By citing, it's like telling you I'm lying to you as a way of making you trust me.
Starting point is 00:38:09 Right. Sort of. Yeah. Yeah. Also, in the middle of that clip, Bill pivoted back to the original pamphlet. The text begins with, quote, to gain converts from heathenism, but Bill added, quote, the emperor, now the pope at the beginning of it. The original source is a passive sentence.
Starting point is 00:38:26 These images and relics were introduced into Christianity, but Bill has added a subject to the sentence and made it an active sentence, and that's fraud. Here's what I'm going to say. I feel like if the Roman emperor had just turned into the pope, that would be one of the most documented things that has ever happened. As he even brings up all these different historians talking about this, but there would also be people who aren't on team papacy, right? There would be so much documentation of how the Roman Emperor just turned into the Pope.
Starting point is 00:39:05 That's very important for two massive groups of people who are not necessarily overlaid on top of each other. It's true. It's true, but Bill's gotten to the bottom of it by reading a pamphlet. Fair enough. So, not only did the Emperor become Pope, then the Pope... How would that even work? You changed hats, I told you. Well yeah, but I mean would you declare yourself the Pope, but secretly so people wouldn't know that you are the Pope, but you're not even a cardinal.
Starting point is 00:39:34 I think the idea is less that the Emperor literally became Pope and more that the papacy took on the role of the Roman Empire and became the de facto Roman Empire. Okay. While the Roman Empire went away. So then the Pope became the Emperor? Yeah. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:53 That makes more sense. I think they're interchangeable. I disagree. Okay. And then, but either whatever you believe. Okay. The Pope became Emperor, Emperor became Pope, whatever. Right. Pope is now God.
Starting point is 00:40:06 Okay. Faith was transferred from Christ, the true foundation of the Christian Church, to the Pope of Rome. Instead of trusting in Christ for forgiveness of sins and for eternal salvation, people looked to the Pope and to the priests and prelates to whom he delegated authority. They were taught that the Pope was their earthly mediator, and that none could approach God except through him, and further that he stood in the place of God to them, and was therefore to be implicitly obeyed. A deviation from his requirements was cause for the severest punishment to be visited upon the bodies and souls of the offenders. Through this error the people were turned from God to fallible, erring men.
Starting point is 00:40:51 Blasphemous titles claimed for the Pope have been embellished and enlarged over the centuries, but a few of these boastful claims appear in an ecclesiastical Roman Catholic dictionary. I'm taking this right out of the Roman Catholic Dictionary by Lucius Ferrarus entitled, POMPTA BIBLIOFICA TANONICA, volume 6, pages 438, 442, article, Pope, the Catholic Encyclopedia, 1913 edition, volume 6, page 48, speaks of this book as a veritable encyclopedia of religious knowledge and a precious mine of information. Those are the words of the Vatican. Quote, the Pope is of so great dignity and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but
Starting point is 00:41:43 as it were, God and the Vicar of God." So Bill says that he's taking these quotes from Prompta Bibliotheca Canonica, but he's not. This is all still just him reading from the pamphlet. The text says, quote, a few of these boastful claims appear in an ecclesiastical dictionary. Bill continues to read from the pamphlet, but tells the audience that he's taking it right out of the dictionary. And the reason that this is a little bit of an issue is like, if you are somebody who's like, I'm taking this from Prompta Bibliotheca Canonica,
Starting point is 00:42:15 that implies that you know that Ecclesiastical Dictionary, it implies that you have read it, that you have gone to find it in search of some kind of information that you're synthesizing together to bring to the audience. Instead, all he's done is just read from this pamphlet written by someone who he has no idea who it is, maybe. Or at least the audience doesn't. Maybe they looked at this, Bibliotheca Canonica, maybe. It's the same way with Alex being like, this is from Carol Quigley, Tragedy and Hope. No, it's not. You're taking this from None Dare Call it Conspiracy or W. Cleon Skousen, and they're claiming to source from that original thing.
Starting point is 00:43:01 It's a huge difference from like, I read this book to my unreliable friend Terry told me about this book he read, which again, Terry, very unreliable, not a big reader. Yeah. Yeah. And you're putting on a hat of, you're putting on a Bill Cooper investigator hat and it's garbage. It's not cool. No.
Starting point is 00:43:23 No. This is just illusioning really. I mean more than anything this this track through these these episodes has been just bummering. I mean I think it's I think it's fairly consistent with our general ethos which is I think as time has gone on to greatly dismantle the myth-making that these dum-dums have about themselves. Sure. Because the myth-making is what they make their money off of. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:49 So Bill is just reading from the pamphlet, but as happened earlier, he gets distracted thinking about dicks. Yeah. At times it seemed that error and superstition would wholly prevail, and true religion would be banished from the earth. The gospel was lost sight of, and the religion would be banished from the earth. The gospel was lost sight of and the forms of religion were multiplied. People were taught not only to look to the Pope as their mediator, but to trust to works of their own to atone for sin. Long pilgrimages,
Starting point is 00:44:18 acts of penance, the worship of relics, the erection of churches, shrines and altars, the payment of large sums to the Church, these and many similar acts were enjoined to appease the wrath of God or to secure his favor, as if God were like men, to be angered at trifles or pacified by gifts or acts of penance, and even then the church still worshiped the old gods. For in dismantling churches for renovation throughout Europe, throughout Europe, without exception, and the older the church, the more likely it was to be true, enshrined within the altar, out of sight of the lost word of Freemasonry. The phallus of Osiris.
Starting point is 00:45:10 Again, this is not from the pamphlet. That part wasn't from the pamphlet. Okay, so how do leap days affect the whole Sabbath? Like, cause God didn't add a day. Yeah, he did.
Starting point is 00:45:25 Well, but I mean, you know, like every four years, you know what I'm saying? Like, there's still seven days in the week, right? So, but we just add another one, but that doesn't change the seven days in the week thing. Sure. We just add another day. So that's... How about daylight savings? What about time zones? This is what I'm saying. how do you do the day thing? Based on time zones, like right now,
Starting point is 00:45:50 Time zones! Exactly where we are, it's a holy time, but maybe not across the world. Right? Right. Oh, God, man, that's tough. Yep. That's tough. It is tough. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:01 I hope they're doing all right with it. I think they are. I think you're the one who's having a real problem So Bill discusses how he's like really into religious tolerance Okay, and that's something that I think you have to have if you want to pretend to be libertarian, right? Now once again, I want to tell you we're not attacking anyone. I care not what you believe I care not what altar you worship at for I am a true constitutionalist. It makes no difference to any of you what my religion is, although I will freely tell you
Starting point is 00:46:32 that I attempt in my daily life to follow the true words of Christ, not the doctrine of the preachings of any church or any evangelist or any book. but those words attributed to Christ and only to Christ. And as the rock upon which those words stand, the Ten Commandments as given to Moses by God. That is the sum total of my religion, of my beliefs, of what I practice in my daily life. I'm not asking you to do that at all. But I am asking everyone to quit accepting what they are told. So I guess the Ten Commandments doesn't include don't plagiarize. So Bill might be in the clear on that.
Starting point is 00:47:20 There is, yeah. So Bill's all about this like religious tolerance and that's fine, you know, like you worship or whatever altar you want, unless it's Osiris' penis. Why is that the exception? Why have we carved out this one thing that I can't have? What if I wanna worship Osiris' penis? You can't worship Osiris' penis because that's the original religion
Starting point is 00:47:42 that's a corruption of the later religion that I believe in. Oh man. Do you know what? Shouldn't like, okay, I understand on some level this idea that there is a group of people who have undue influence and are controlling levers of power around the world. Totally. And they worship Osiris's penis.
Starting point is 00:48:04 Fair enough. Worshipping Osiris's penis is not the problem. It isn around the world. Totally. And they worship Osiris's penis. Fair enough. Worshipping Osiris's penis is not the problem. It isn't the problem. No, it's the structural world where people have, a very small group of people have outsized levels of power. Sure. You could address that and allow people to still worship Osiris's penis if you want. I mean, you could even argue that if the real problem is a small number of people having an
Starting point is 00:48:25 Outsized influence over the rest of our lives that presents the exact same problem for his Belief system as it does for theirs it would yeah Yeah It seems like we should keep this in the realm of reality if we want our criticisms to have any hope of Fixing the problems that exist sure as opposed to creating a Egyptian mystery cult Yeah, that that we're fighting it does seem it does seem like you have a point Yeah, if you fight demons you're going to end up solving demon type problems as opposed to people being
Starting point is 00:49:01 starving or or You know the imbalance of wealth, things like that. Those aren't demon problems. I would even... I would go so far as to say this, right? When he's going like, I follow... He doesn't say the word of Christ. He says, I follow the true word of Christ.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Attributed. Which, if you pull back, is like, you're not saying that you're starting a fight What you want to do is fight with people over there, right? Sure And when you say the true words attributed to Christ you are making an underlying statement of I know Which words are attributed correctly in which aren't yeah., it's more dividing. Yeah, removing faith from the equation essentially. So Bill goes on reading this pamphlet and I thought this was a fun little screw up that he makes. The scriptural ordinance of the Lord's Supper
Starting point is 00:49:59 was supplanted by the idolatrous sacrifice of the mass, pathest priests pretended by their senseless mummery to convert the simple bread and wine into the actual body and blood of Christ. And those are the exact words, body and blood of Christ, written by Cardinal Weisman. The real presence of the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ in the Blessed Eucharist proved from scripture, Lecture 8, Section 3, Paragraph 26. But no scripture is quoted." So you can tell there that Bill didn't realize that quote, the real presence of the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ in the Blessed Eucharist proved from scripture is
Starting point is 00:50:41 the name of a writing by Cardinal Wiseman that the pamphlet he's reading has referenced. The pamphlet didn't use parentheses and the way it's written is a little clunky. So it makes sense that you would trip over it, as Bill did there. He launched into the name of that cited book as if it were a new sentence. And that's because he didn't know what was written there. Oh man. Practice do another take. You can't get it right on the radio. Well then practice reading the book that you're stealing. You can OK, that's that's the thing. That's the thing.
Starting point is 00:51:17 If you. If you are just reading a book, then you can practice reading the book so you don't make these mistakes. Yeah, you can clean it up a little. Yeah. Put a line through things that you don't want to read on the air. Right. Right, right. Exemperania speech, you can make those mistakes no big deal because that's just, listen, it's just popping out of your fucking face, right? But if you had
Starting point is 00:51:42 the gumption and the work ethic necessary to practice reading the book, you wouldn't read the book on the air. Probably. We used to talk about the evil dumb question. And I think that it's evolved into lazy versus worried that effort would reveal you're full of shit. That's kind of the new tension that I feel. Yeah, absolutely. So a lot of this has seemed to be pretty down on them Catholics. The Pope is the Roman Emperor, all this nonsense.
Starting point is 00:52:21 But hey man, don't get it twisted. Bill doesn't like Protestants either. Oh, that's nice. Protestantism, folks, began in the Reformation when Martin Luther rebelled against the Pope. But did you know that Martin Luther used as his personal seal the rose and the cross, revealing that he himself, he himself was an initiate of the Mystery School, the ancient religion of Babylon. You see, I'm not attacking anyone and I'm not putting anyone on a pedestal. I'm not tearing down the Vatican in order
Starting point is 00:53:06 to build up the Protestant Church for they are equally guilty. Protestantism has fractured the teachings of Christ into thousands of sects and cults and little groups, all of them professing to know the truth? None of them really do. The Holy Scriptures were almost unknown, not only to the people but to the priests. God's law, the standard of righteousness in those days having been removed, pathless leaders So Bill is trying to say that he's calling it like it is. He's not trying to tear down Catholicism to prop up Protestantism. He's creating this image of himself to pretend that he's an unbiased, outside academic source on this issue. He's creating this image of himself to pretend that he's an unbiased, outside academic source on this issue.
Starting point is 00:54:06 But if you understand the source he's plagiarizing this show from, you can clearly say that he's not tearing down Catholicism to prop up Protestantism, he's tearing them all down to prop up Seventh Day Adventism. He hasn't been forthright about any of this, but the hidden implication underneath him saying that all these sects don't have Christianity right, is that the Seventh Day Adventists do. Otherwise, why would he be stealing his entire show from a tract espousing their religion as the one correct one? Why would he be presenting this pamphlet's Seventh Day Adventist perspective on Catholic
Starting point is 00:54:40 history as the unbiased full truth? This isn't some dipshit conspiracy text that Bill is stealing this from. It's a booklet meant to persuade the reader to become Seventh-day Adventist. By obscuring the source of where his words are coming from and presenting it as the product of his years of historical study, Bill is wittingly
Starting point is 00:54:58 or unwittingly evangelizing for Seventh-day Adventism. It always matters where he's getting his information from, but in this case, it matters in a deeper way. This plagiarism is different. It hits different than just some stealing from a conspiracy book. Yeah, especially when you're talking about religion, because in a sense, aren't you trying
Starting point is 00:55:24 to trick people into God? And if you're trying to trick people into God, doesn't that kind of imply that God is like, he's in need of help? He's not selling things on his own. Well, he could sell things on his own, but like the Protestantism has fractured the true message of God into a thousand little cults and all of this. So like, yeah, his message resonates and it's good, but there's just too many distracting other variants of it around.
Starting point is 00:55:53 Right. Because you think he can't handle that? Well, I think he'd rather you handle it. Oh, okay. Yeah. All right. Well, fair enough. I think that's the exciting part of free will. So I mean, but but then you're going into well, then now you're tricking people again. Why are you tricking people?
Starting point is 00:56:10 I'm not they are they that's what I'm saying. Why are they tricking people? Well, they are because they're wrong. They're misguided Not me. Well, yeah, but you're not but you're not telling me about the pamphlet. Mm-hmm You're telling me that you're saying it not the pamphlet, right? Yeah, but if I told you it was the pamphlet then then I'd... I mean, like, what good am I? Right! That's the trick! Yes. Yes, that's where you're tricking me. Shouldn't that be not okay?
Starting point is 00:56:36 It should be, and I don't think it is. But Bill got away with it. Fair enough. So he plagiarizes a lot, and he changes these things to make it look like something that he's reading is actually his show and all that. And most of the time the differences that he makes, I can tell, okay, what the purpose this serves. In this clip he changes one word and I'm not sure why. The palaces of popes and prelates were scenes of the vilest debauchery.
Starting point is 00:57:06 Some of the reigning pontiffs were guilty of crimes so revolting that secular rulers endeavored to depose these dignitaries of the church as monsters too vile to be tolerated. For centuries, Europe made no progress in learning arts or civilization. A moral and intellectual paralysis had fallen upon the world." So he's just reading from the text, but he changed the last word there from Christendom to the world. That's a strange choice to make, and I'm not sure exactly what I think, but I have a couple of possibilities. Okay. One is that Bill thinks that Christendom and the world are synonymous.
Starting point is 00:57:46 So making that change doesn't seem like a big deal to him. All right. Everything outside the Christian world isn't really even real. Okay. The other possibility is that Bill's point in this series is bigger than Christendom. Whereas this text that he's reading is really about internal issues within Christianity. Sure. It's narrowly focused on the corrupting of the Christian church and how the true church is the Seventh-day Adventists. I think it's possible that Bill felt that the scope of his
Starting point is 00:58:09 lecture was limited by the word Christendom, so he changed it. I'm not sure. It's a weird change of one word that he doesn't... It doesn't happen a lot, so it sticks out to me a little bit as I was following along with his script. Yeah, his his Changes are either mistakes or deliberate And it feels like this one has to be deliberate You can't make a mistake from Christendom to the world it feels it feels like a choice Yeah, but he's making as he's reading. And when you're saying they're deliberate, oftentimes the deliberateness is meant to
Starting point is 00:58:49 obscure the theft. It's not deliberate in a way always to like change a word to change the source into saying something that it's not or whatever. That isn't often the kind of editing that he's doing. It's to hide like, oh, I'm just reading a text. So this actually is a different word. Christendom and the world are different. Well, I mean, the reason I bring that up is because it makes me think that he thinks that
Starting point is 00:59:20 switching Christendom to the world means it's less likely for people to realize that he is plagiarizing. I don't think so. I don't think so because there's so much verbatim reading. Well, I mean, I'm just saying that if you have the reason that he changes other words and then he changes another word. I think that he... Hmm. No. See, that's where I think that he, hmm. Huh.
Starting point is 00:59:45 No, see, that's where I can't make that connection. These other instances where he changes like this book to this show. That's to make it palatable as a listener of his broadcast. So you're not raising too many questions in your head about like, what's the provenance of this? Sure. That christened him to the world, I don't think it changes that. I don't think it has any connection to how the listener is going to hear it, which makes me think that it is about like, I'm supposed to be talking about Osiris's penis and shit. Sure. Not just Christendom. Sure. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:00:21 Sure. Not just Christendom. Sure. Yeah, I mean, it has to, it has a... You can't say you're not doing a religious show if then you're concerned only with Christendom. Sure. It narrows things. Yeah, to religion. It's a religious show to only be concerned with Christendom.
Starting point is 01:00:41 And I think, I think that's part of a different kind of plagiarism that's on display here. There's the cover-up plagiarism that we've seen consistently, and this is changing the text itself to make a different point. Co-option. Yeah. So I thought that was interesting. I do think that. Yeah, I agree.
Starting point is 01:01:03 I think that's very interesting because you're right. It does feel like there is a A different element of uh intent behind it. Yeah, and it's something that you just kind of have to Uh look at and and guess what the motivation exactly was. Yeah, it's something And and and honestly, it could be as simple as just like Your brain replaced a word in the moment. It's possible. Or there could be intent behind it. Yeah, it's it's hard to say. Yeah, it is. It is. It's mysterious and not least of which because it is visible fingerprints of the man. We thought that we were dealing with the man. And now we can see that he's just reading. And so all that's
Starting point is 01:01:41 left are these little tiny crumbs of little clues. Yeah, what's inside your brain? Yeah, yeah, so something else that you can assess this by is We have a lot of time since this is like 93. Yeah that he's he's doing these so we've had 30 years Quite a few sense. Yeah two years sense to find out if his predictions come true 32 years is a long time There's a lot of predictions that happen within 32 years So yeah, he's got to be right about several and he's such a great prophet Uh-huh
Starting point is 01:02:13 Foremost among those who were called to leave the church from the darkness of poultry into the light of a pure faith stood Martin Luther And this is what people believe but Martin Luther himself was an initiative the mystery schools do they follow the faith of Mystery Babylon, as was the Pope and the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. You see, but they were buying for rulership of the world, and up until not too long ago, have always been throughout history. For the Vatican practices the corrupted worship of Mystery Babylon, the combination of Christianity and the worship of Mystery Babylon, whereas the Mystery Schools retain the pure form of Mystery Babylon. WS What? And this is the only difference between the two folks, and they have been vying throughout history for the rulership of the world.
Starting point is 01:03:11 Mystery Babylon attempting to destroy the Pope and Christianity, and the Pope attempting to persecute and burn away the followers, the initiates of Mystery Babylon. But they're the same guys. And it has always been the goal of the worshers of Mystery Babylon to seek one of their own upon the throne of the Vatican. But they already do. They have succeeded. They have succeeded, folks. And now you are seeing the beginning of the combination of all religions into one world religion. And while the world and the New Age movement may be waiting for the emergence of Maitreya, I tell you now here, and remember,
Starting point is 01:03:59 that I have been the most accurate in making predictions about future world events than anyone in the history of the world, based upon study and knowledge, not psychic ability, not any gift given to me from God, although I am a messenger, I can assure you of that. Thank you. I tell you that in the New World Order, the one world, charismatic and religious leader will be seated upon the throne of Rome. Mark my words. I have marked them.
Starting point is 01:04:38 So John Paul II is the mystery Babylon putting one of their own into the popehood. Right. So there hasn't come a one world church since then. So this seems wrong. He seems wrong. Yeah. I would like a plausible sounding series of events that ends with the pope being head religious guy of all religions?
Starting point is 01:05:07 Everybody dies except the Pope and a couple of bishops. That sounds right. That sounds about right. I bet, but you know what? I bet they would start fighting after a few weeks. For a while there would be one world religion. For a while there would be one world religion. Yeah, it'd be a brief window. Somebody's selling tickets to heaven and we're all, we're back to square fucking one. Yeah, this prophecy would come true in that circumstance. For a bit. For a short period of time. So I feel like you were having a little bit of difficulty understanding what was going on with...
Starting point is 01:05:39 Well, if I understand correctly, the papacy already is the combination of the corrupted Mystery Babylon and Christianity thing. Right. Right. But Mystery Babylon is already a corrupted version of Christianity? Yes. Okay. Well then it all makes sense. So Mystery Babylon is the pure stuff. But it's a corrupted version of Christianity. But it's the good stuff. It's the good corrupted version. No, no, no, I don't mean good in a good bad sense. Right, right, right, right, right. I mean like the...
Starting point is 01:06:09 It's the pure, it's the good, it's the Breaking Bad Blue Meth. 200 proof alcohol, you know, we're talking. Right, right, right, right. And so the Catholic Church and the papacy, they these some of this booze right and they distilled it down with a mixer sure which is Christianity right and so now they're a cocktail gotcha right yeah no I'm following along yeah yeah and the cocktail and the booze are fighting right this is this I do get okay yeah and then Christians are I I guess, sober.
Starting point is 01:06:46 But so then so then. Because, yeah, the Christians are the cocktail mixer. Right. So they're like orange juice. So that but one of them. But the mystery Babylon wanted to get one of theirs onto the pope thing, which was mixing the cocktail. Right. But they were already. There, no, because the, in this conception,
Starting point is 01:07:08 basically getting the popes and the Catholic Church to give into idolatry in the form of like saints and the Virgin Mary, they took away one of the main commandments. And then changing the Holy Day to Sunday is another one of the commandments. And so that's where you have the mixing of the cocktail. So yeah, I don't know. No, listen, I appreciate a convoluted argument as much as the next guy. This feels crazy. I don't think it seems as crazy as you're experiencing it. I think that you have one line, and that is Christianity.
Starting point is 01:08:00 Sure. You got the pope, and then that's taken over by the mystery religions Who meld into You saying that I'm not as confused as I should be and yet somehow here we are yeah I'm gonna say, okay, Mr. Peabody. Back then, the Catholic and the Popes and that whole world, it's influenced by the mystery religions, but it's not taken over.
Starting point is 01:08:34 It's not taken over by them. They're doing a little dipping in and out whenever they find something they like. Well, or they've wielded influence over society to the point where Catholics have gone along with the paganism of the world. But they haven't taken it over. So the Catholic Church and the Mystery Babylon are at war with each other trying to destroy each other. And now Mystery Babylon has placed John Paul II into the papacy which will bring about one world religion as
Starting point is 01:09:07 evidenced by the news stories at the beginning of this Seventh Day Adventist pamphlet that Bill is reading and pretending is his own work. And this is bad. It's real bad. Okay. All right. Mm-hmm. Oh, oh so Fine Fine fine if that's what you yeah, okay, if that's what you're writing your pamphlet about all right, man And so that's where bill runs out of time. I think it's a good place to run out of time. Yeah, so I I think that I'm curious on one level of like there's still plenty more of this pamphlet left to go Yeah, so I'm curious if Bill is gonna pick up with that or if we're gonna jump on to another source sure him to rip off
Starting point is 01:09:52 Sure, because I think that he's gotten most of what he needed to get out of this Yeah, I guess that like the mystery Babylon folks Infused their beliefs into the Catholic Church. Yeah. Um, and also are responsible for Protestantism. Right. So all, most of Christianity is corrupted. Okay.
Starting point is 01:10:13 So my picture of the Mystery Babylon as it's coming together, what I'm seeing is that, um, I think Bill has an idea in his head of how all of these books that he's fans of are actually talking about the same thing, but they don't know it. So what he's doing is he's reading all of these books to you under the auspices of somebody who has made these connections
Starting point is 01:10:43 and removed the individual authors from their places as creators. Yes. And has essentially created a mosaic out of their stuff without telling you that he's stolen from their magazines. And changed pieces of their primary sources without even letting you know that their primary source source that's being changed like the Christendom to the world change like that that's not Approved by the author right, you know, yeah. Yeah, I agree I think that what this series has become or what it appears to be is Someone connecting on connected things And not allowing the listener or the observer
Starting point is 01:11:26 to understand what those things are that are being connected. Because if they were allowed to see those things, they would realize these things aren't really connected. Right. If I only show you the parts that I want you to see, it looks like all of these things are one big mishmash. In a way, it's kind of like Alex editing together clips of his old show to make himself look like a prophet. Yep you know, there's a
Starting point is 01:11:51 Selected view that you're allowed to have as the as the listener. Yeah. Yeah It's like when you've got those those light sculptures those shadow sculptures where it's a bunch of random trash But then you put the light on the at the right angle and it's a face. Mm-hmm Yeah, yep. Yep. It's fraud. It's fraud. That's yeah, cuz it's not actually a face. It's just like or basic trickery Yeah, yeah, so I'm excited to learn more I guess But we'll get back to our primary ding-dong and see how he's doing with a new pope and all kinds of other things Oh, kind of all kinds of weirdness. Oh man. All kinds of weirdness. Yep.
Starting point is 01:12:26 But until we're back, we have a website. Indeed we do. It's knowledgefight.com. Yep. We'll be back. But until then, I'm Leo. I'm Leo. I'm DZX Clark.
Starting point is 01:12:36 I am the mysterious professor. Woo yeah woo yeah woo! And now here comes the sex robot. Andy and Kansas, you're on the air. Thanks for holding. Hello Alex. I'm a first time caller. I'm a huge fan.
