What is the connection between modern UFO cults and a 17th century occult secret society? Did you know that Sirhan Sirhan, the assassin of Robert F Kennedy was a member of the Rosicrucian secret society? What about the rumours of psychic powers of these occult groups. Are they true? Did you ever wonder whether history is just a series of unplanned accidents, or are there people out there with a definite plan? If they do have a plan, then what is their long-term agenda? In this fascinating and meticulously researched investigation, starting in the modern day and examining some of the mysteries and contradictions of the UFO and aliens phenomenon, you will follow a breadcrumb trail of clues backwards through history, until you arrive at the explanation for (almost) everything that is happening in the world now, then and in the future. Delving into UFOs, reports of alien abductions, and something strange hiding beyond the veil, to try to see what is going on behind the scenes of reality. Is there something beyond, which wants something from us? What are the aliens? Are UFOs real? And why did the Rosicrucian grand master want to abolish borders and nationalism? Is it all part of a new manipulation to remould society according to a plan of the secret societies. Also investigating the growth of the European hermetic movement, the Kabbalah, and the hidden meaning of spiritual alchemy and examining how this mediaeval curiosity is still very much active in the world. And asking, in a world on the edge of chaos and destruction. Who is doing it? How are they doing it? And why are they doing it?

Looking into the apocalyptic eschatology of the Iranian regime Shia Twelvers and whether the end of the world and being bombed to smithereens is some kind of strange religious obligation.
And continuing our discussion of Red Dwarf by talking about series 2. Also the usual bits and bobs and belly fluff.
With the happy possibility of an end to the brutal and idiotic reign of the Mad Mullahs and Crazy Clerics in Iran, I thought it timely to discover how this gang of bearded morons managed to take control of the hitherto great nation of Persia.
The Rex Cinema fire was a catalyist for the 1979 Iranian Revolution which brought into power, a regime which used terror to gain power, then once assuming power, proceeded to terrorise and impoverish the country they had managed to steal.
On the 19th of August 1978, the Cinema Rex in Abadan in South Western Iran, was set ablaze in a deliberate arson attack which burnt to death between 377 and 470 people. Four individuals motivated by Islamic extremism, had doused the building in kerosene before setting it on fire and barricading and blocking the exit from the burning building.
Initially it was accurately reported by the press that Islamic Marxists had started the fire, however, the propaganda machine of Islamic Revolutionaries proved grimly effective and the future Ayatollah, Ruhollah Khomeini blamed the Shah’s secret police for the attack, and the Iranian public accepted this distortion and acted upon it fueling the fervour in Iran against the Shah and leading to tens of thousands of Iranians taking to the streets shouting "Burn the Shah!" and "The Shah is the guilty one!"
A man called
Hossein
Talakhzadeh claiming to be the lone surviving arsonist stated in court that he was responsible
for starting the fire and insisted
that he did it
on his own accord as an ultimate sacrifice for the revolutionary cause and had no connection to any groups loyal to
the Shah, including the SAVAK. The new government,
after summarily dismissing judges involved with the case and hampering the process,
finally
executed Hossein Talakhzadeh for "setting the fire on the Shah's
orders".
Several books have appeared in recent year which have thoroughly investigated the Rex Cinema fire, including “Behind the Scenes of the Islamic Revolution, the Confessions of Hossein Borujerdi,” by Bahram Choubineh published in 2002 and “The Tragedy of Cinema Rex, the Islamic Revolution’s Fire,” by Majid Ahmadian published in 2015.
There is more than a hint of Western support for the Iranian Coup, and perhaps even coordination and direction. In November 1964 Ruhollah Khomeini stayed in Bursa at the home of Colonel Ali Cetiner of Turkish Military Intelligence. Additionally, he received the support of France since he spent four months in exile, from October 1978 to February 1979 specifically directing the revolution prior to his return.
The cause of the Ayatollah and despotic retrogressive Islamic tyranny was taken up by the BBC and in the UK media he was endlessly promoted as an Eastern mystic or even Prophet who did not seek power but instead sought to free ‘his people’ from oppression. The BBC’s Persia Service gave extensive airtime to Khomeini, making him a household name in the West and in Iran, and inadvertently becoming a powerful tool for his movement.
The BBC documented Khomeini's triumphant return from his French exile in February 1979, capturing the moment he declared, "I will strike with my fists at the mouths of this government," effectively challenging the Shah's authority.
For their part the BBC itself later issued a statement admitting to having a "critical" disposition to the Shah, saying that its broadcasts helped to "change the collective perception of the population."
Just so we know what kind of filth and scum we are dealing with in Iran in the form of the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, look at the example of Mohammad Mohammadi Gilani. Gilani was one of the judges that handed out death sentences to protestors in 2009.
Mohammad Mohammadi Gilani: evil little shit.
Gilani justified the trials and executions of the young girls, stating, "By the Islamic canon, a nine-year-old girl is mature. So there is no difference for us between a nine-year-old girl and a 40-year-old man."
There can be no rational reason for the BBC actively supporting the Ayatollahs and the 1979 Iranian revolution and being instrumental in their rise to power and the ensuing 45 years of mass murder state oppression and tyranny, except that perhaps the BBC isn’t quite what it seems and is instead following a murderous covert left-wing agenda of Marxist or Islamic global revolution. We should ask ourselves why they did this and who might have benefited from a weakened and impoverished Iran for so many years, a period which hopefully will soon come to an end.
Ayatollah Nouri Hamedani
Ayatollah Nouri Hamedani is reported by some sources to be one of the figures behind the arson attack. According to a journalist and intelligence minister at the time, the order for the fire came from clerics in Najaf, Iraq (a major center of Shia Islam where Ayatollah Khomeini was in exile). Hamedani reportedly justified the action by stating the goal was for the people of Khouzestan province to join the strikes against the Shah, suggesting a political motive tied to the revolutionary movement. The judge in the post-revolution trial of the perpetrators was his son-in-law, Mousavi Tabrizi.
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini
While Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini himself was in exile in Najaf at the time, the perpetrators were described as his followers and part of the Islamic movement he led. The attackers' actions were consistent with a broader pattern of Islamic activists setting fire to cinemas and other venues considered symbols of "Western decadence".
Khomeini and his supporters initially blamed the Shah's secret police (SAVAK) for the massacre. He condemned the fire publicly and hailed the victims as martyrs of the revolution, a narrative that was widely believed at the time and proved to be a significant propaganda victory for the opposition, galvanizing public anger against the Shah's regime. The new post-revolution government downplayed evidence pointing to Islamist involvement during the subsequent trial.
Ahmad Khomeini
There are some reports that indicate Ahmad Khomeini, Ruhollah Khomeini's son, might have been involved. An interview with Ayatollah Lahouti mentioned that another cinema (in Qom) was bombed by Ahmad Khomeini's order. While direct evidence linking him specifically to the Cinema Rex fire is less concrete in the provided information, the general orders for cinema arsons were reportedly coming from the circle of clerics in Najaf who were in close contact with the Khomeini family.
This week, to acknowledge the passing of Rob Grant, one of the co-creators of the TV comedy Red Dwarf we will have a chat about the fist season of Red Dwarf, whether Jeffrey Epstein is actually still alive and the possible end of the world in 2029.
