Secrets we didn't know. Secrets of symbols

Do you know what "thinks with the body"? "The brain knows what it doesn't know" and "it sleeps to forget." The scientific work of the last month is a few more steps towards answering the question: "What is consciousness and how does it work?" Published on the web portal

1. The brain thinks with the body

Attis rushed across the seas on a flying, light boat,
He hurried with a nimble run into that wilderness of the Phrygian forests,
In those jungles of dense groves, to the holy places of the goddess.
Instigated by violent passion, drunk with fury,
He castrated his young body with a sharp stone.

At this last phrase, the male reader will probably feel an unpleasant chill in the lower part of the body (“where the peppy sickle walked,” as another poet, Fyodor Tyutchev, put it on another occasion). See what this means in terms of neuroscience: while you were reading the phrase, your brain was busy recognizing the words. In it, in the brain, there are special areas that specialize in understanding the language. However, an unpleasant chill, felt almost physically at the moment of reading the cherished word, tells us that for some reason completely different areas of the brain are involved in the matter - those that are in charge of processing signals from the peripheral parts of the body. Question: did it happen so by chance in the process of perceiving a literary text, or is there some important aspect of the brain working here?

Even if our reader thinks this is a stupid question, neuroscientists don't think so. Moreover, they have been studying this phenomenon for quite a long time. Back in the early 2000s, it was found that when a person hears the verbs “run”, “beat” and “kiss”, there is blood flow to the areas of the brain that control, respectively, the legs, arms and lips. In the light of the thought experiment with the text of Catullus, set up by us at the beginning of this section, such results do not seem at all surprising. The main question is this: is this activity of the motor and sensory cortex really necessary to understand what the brain has just heard or read? Perhaps this is just a side effect: first the parts of the brain that specialize in language understand what is being said, and only then do other parts get a little excited, although no one asks them to?

In the first task, it was necessary to quickly determine whether the word has any meaning. For example: "draw" - press the right button, "shmakish" - press the left.

An alternative point of view is that this phenomenon is an integral part of the understanding of language. In her favor is the fact that motor areas respond to verbs that mean action very quickly, in just 80 milliseconds, obviously faster than the understanding of the word occurs. This point of view is gaining popularity, but the final verdict has not yet been issued.

It was this hypothesis that neuroscientists from the Higher School of Economics in Moscow, including Yuri Shtyrov and Andrey Myachikov, tried to substantiate. Their recent scientific work, published in the journal Neuropsychologia, is devoted to this topic.

To choose one of the two explanations, you need to do this: somehow prevent the motor cortex from participating in the work on understanding the text. If understanding deteriorates or slows down, then the brain really needs to use a variety of areas for this, and not just the notorious language centers in the left hemisphere. And if not, then no.

“Interfering with the brain” in our time is accepted with the help of transcranial magnetic stimulation: a magnetic field pulse temporarily turns off certain areas of the cortex. This is no more harmful than an MRI, and therefore it was not difficult to find 28 volunteers for experiments. They were given two tasks. In the first, it was necessary to quickly (by pressing a button) determine whether the word that appeared on the screen had any meaning. For example: "draw" - press the right button, "shmakish" - press the left. The second task is a little more difficult, since it required not only to understand that the word is meaningful, but also to figure out what it means. The subjects had to distinguish concrete actions from abstract ones, for example: “write” - a specific action, “believe” or “forgive” - abstract.

In the meantime, the subjects were solving problems (or rather, within 200 milliseconds after the appearance of the word in front of their eyes) - a magnetic impulse rushed through their skulls to the motor cortex, to that part of it that controls the movements of the right hand. You probably noticed that you “draw” and “write” - actions performed by the hand?

“I know that I don’t know anything” is some kind of idle talk, but Socrates was still a sage

If the reader is interested in experimental subtleties, reservations and corrections, we send him to the article by the link, it is not so complicated, especially if you are a neuroscientist by diploma. For the rest, we report the result: yes, the effect was indeed observed. That is, the ability to distinguish meaningful words from meaningless ones was not affected by a magnetic impact on the motor cortex. But in the choice between abstract and concrete action (when it was necessary to understand the meaning of the word), the difference was obvious: when the motor cortex was depressed, specific verbs “draw” and “write” were recognized more slowly, and abstract “believe” and “forgive” - on the contrary, faster . So, we need the motor cortex not only to uselessly wave our arms or draw scribbles, but also to understand the language.

The attentive reader cannot but have a question. Well, “draw” is a simple, understandable verb, take a pencil in your hand and draw. But after all, it can also be used in a different meaning, for example: “In your speech you draw bright prospects” - no hand is clearly involved here. Or, for example: “You got so drunk yesterday - neither sing nor draw.” Do you need a motor cortex to understand these figurative turns of speech?

Not all at once, hurried reader. Scientists from the Higher School of Economics are working on this right now, and the results are going to be reported at a conference in San Francisco at the end of March. If you believe the published abstracts of their message (and the abstracts are half a page of text without any details), in "figurative expressions" one should distinguish between metaphor and idiom. For example, "throw a stone" is a literal meaning. "Quit smoking" is a metaphorical usage, where instead of "quit" you can use the verb "stop" or "quit". "Throw a shadow" is an idiom: it cannot be decomposed into separate words and understood in isolation from each other. It seems to be that the motor cortex is not needed to understand the metaphor. But idioms in this sense behave exactly like the literal meanings of verbs...

But shh. The authors of the study urged us not to go into the details of this work. We were motivated to mention it only by the fact that not too often a high-quality scientific result is published by scientists from their native country. Shtyrov, Myachikov and their colleagues (although they work not only in Moscow, but also in Danish Aarhus and English Newcastle) are exactly the same people to whom the expression “Russian science” can be attributed in the most literal sense. And since we are celebrating the Day of this same Russian science on February 8, this is an excellent occasion to congratulate our compatriots and talk about their achievements - I hope, without distorting or confusing anything.

And since the next two sections no longer apply to Russian science, we will present them much shorter and more concisely.

2. The brain knows what it doesn't know

“En eda oti uden eda,” Socrates supposedly said (that is, it is possible that Plato came up with this at all, and the one who translated it back from Latin into Greek certainly distorted the phrase). It seems to me that Socrates did not say this, because “I know that I know nothing” is some kind of empty talk, but he was still a wise man. It's another matter to know exactly what you know and what you don't know: this inspires respect. And for this it would be nice to have some kind of register of your own knowledge in your head, keeping it separate from knowledge as such.

In our heads, such a register definitely exists. Proving this is as easy as shelling pears: otherwise there would be no such torment at the sight of the familiar face of an actor whom you know for sure, but for the life of you don’t remember his name and where he starred. The brain is sure that this actor is in memory. However, for some reason, it is not immediately possible to find the corresponding record. There is also the opposite effect, “déjà vu”: this is when for some reason it seems to the brain that the situation is familiar, but in fact there was nothing like this with it before, but it just seemed.

Neuroscientists talk about it like this: in addition to memory itself, the brain also has “meta-memory” - this is just the memory of what we remember (or should remember) and what we don’t. But what neuroscientists didn’t know until recently was where exactly this priceless filing cabinet is stored in the brain. Japanese researchers have found this out just now.

There were only two questions for the monkeys: “Have you seen this picture before, O monkey? How sure are you that you didn’t see (or saw) her?

They did experiments not on people, but on monkeys. The monkeys were offered a series of pictures, and then after a while they presented the picture for identification. There were only two questions for them: “Have you seen this picture before, O monkey? How sure are you that you didn’t see (or saw) her? Of course, the monkeys were not asked in words, but in the way they usually communicate with monkeys: with the right reactions, they received a reward, and they had to pay for mistakes. In the meantime, the monkey brain was being examined with an MRI.

And here it is, metamemory: two bright foci in the prefrontal cortex. One seems to be responsible for the memory of recent events, the other for distant ones. And then (how fortunate that the experiment was set on animals, and not on people!) The monkeys were turned off the corresponding centers of the brain and were again forced to bet on whether they had already seen the picture shown, or it seemed to them. The results have deteriorated significantly. At the same time, as the researchers were convinced in a separate experiment, the very memory of the viewed pictures did not disappear. It was just much more difficult for the monkey to confidently say about an unfamiliar picture that he had never really seen it.

This work is a small step towards understanding the mechanisms of memory. When these mechanisms are unraveled, our descendants will never find themselves in a terrible situation, when a familiar man seems to be coming towards them, but maybe he is not familiar, but just imagined. Then people will become happier and more harmonious.

3. The brain sleeps to forget

For some, especially young people, it often seems that sleeping is just a waste of time. While we are awake, we learn a lot of new things, accumulate impressions, sometimes even learn something. And then again! - and eight hours of blackness torn from life. And it happens that you wake up, but you don’t remember something from yesterday, for the life of you. Recent articles by researchers at Johns Hopkins University in the US show that this is actually what we sleep for.

During the day, when the main action takes place, the brain processes the impressions, remembers them and draws conclusions. About how this happens, Eric Kandel, who received the Nobel Prize in 2000, guessed. He studied the neurons of the Aplysia mollusk, teaching it simple mollusk lessons (for example, "if you stroke the siphon, then they will start hitting it"). It turned out that this particular lesson corresponds to the growth of one particular synapse, that is, the connection between neurons. So, while we are awake, the brain remembers something, and synapses between neurons grow and strengthen in it.

Well, say American neuroscientists: and when the brain sleeps, synapses decrease! That is, not all: the most important and powerful synapses are only getting angrier, but the secondary nonsense, which has swollen excessively during waking hours, on the contrary, is losing strength. As a result, mice (it was their brains and neurons that were used in the experiments) “consolidate” memories: they retain important things in memory and forget unnecessary nonsense. However, the total mass and power of synapses practically does not increase. Thus, the process can be repeated many, many times: learn new things, then sleep, and study again with a fresh mind. If it were not for this stage of sleep, the synapses in the mouse brain would have grown to an extreme, long before the poor mouse had had time to noticeably wiser.

Every day we see thousands of signs and symbols. And we even use some of them to express the strongest feelings when we can’t find words. But have you ever wondered where they came from? And are we using them correctly?

We decided to understand this in detail and collected for you the 7 most famous symbols, the meaning and origin of which is not known to everyone.

Ampersand (sign &)

The ampersand sign (&) denotes the Latin union et (or English and), that is, "and". Such a ligature was invented in ancient Rome. Tyro, who was Cicero's private secretary, invented his own system of abbreviations to speed up writing, called "Tyronian signs."

Subsequently, this sign took root in Europe and America so much that for a long time it was in last place in the English alphabet, and began to disappear only by the beginning of the 20th century. The word "ampersand" itself is an abbreviation of the phrase And per se and. When the letters of the alphabet were pronounced to the children, after z the teacher said: And per se and - “And in itself“ and ”. Before the letter, coinciding in pronunciation with the word, they said per se (“by itself”, “as such”).

Over time, from the letters et, the shape of the symbol changed to such an extent that such a sign arose.

Heart

But here everything is more complicated. Despite the fact that “love lives in the heart,” everyone knows that the heart symbol does not have much in common with a real heart. But there are several hypotheses about its origin.

• A pair of swans swimming towards each other forms the shape of a heart at the moment of contact. In the cultures of many peoples, these birds are a symbol of love, fidelity and devotion, as the formed couple remains together for life.
• Another hypothesis says that the sign was originally a symbol of the feminine. He himself depicts the shape of the female pelvis. The ancient Greeks even built a special temple to Aphrodite. It is unique because it was the only temple in the whole world that worshiped the buttocks. No, yes, that's it.
• There is also a version that this sign is the shape of an ivy leaf. On a vase among the Greeks, he was usually depicted together with Dionysus, the god of winemaking, the patron of passion.

Bluetooth

In the 10th century, King Harald Blatand ruled in Denmark, who united the Danish tribes into a single kingdom. Harald was also nicknamed Bluetooth, as he was a famous blueberry lover and at least one of his teeth was permanently dyed blue.

Bluetooth technology (from the English "blue tooth") is designed to combine several devices into one network. And the sign of technology is a combination of two Scandinavian runes: "hagal" or "hagalaz" (Hagall) - an analogue of the Latin H, and "Berkana" (Berkana) - Latin B, which corresponds to the first letters of the name Harald Blatand. By the way, the first devices, as you might guess, were blue in color and looked like a tooth.

Medicine symbol

Few people know, but the symbol of medicine, depicting a cane with wings and two snakes, is actually a mistake.

According to legend, Hermes (the Romans - Mercury) had a magic wand caduceus, which looked exactly like this. Caduceus had the ability to stop any disputes and reconcile enemies, but had nothing to do with medicine.

The fact is that more than 100 years ago, US military doctors confused it with the staff of Asclepius, which had no wings and only one snake. Asclepius was the ancient Greek god of healing and medicine, so the mistake is understandable. Subsequently, this sign took root and is now used as a symbol of medical secrecy.

Sign "Power" (Power)

The “Power” or Power sign can be found on almost any device, but few people know where it came from.

Back in the 40s, engineers used the binary system to refer to individual switches, 1 meaning "on" and 0 meaning "off". Subsequently, this was transformed into a sign in the form of a circle, that is, zero and sticks - units.

A symbol of peace

The Pacific, or, as it is also called, the sign of peace, was invented in 1958 for a protest demonstration against the use of nuclear weapons. The peace sign is a combination of semaphore signals N and D, which means "nuclear disarmament" (English nuclear disarmament).

Original taken from blagin_anton The biggest secret: our whole life is a game of God and the devil!

“Everything is in the power of the gods;
wise men are friends of the gods; but with friends
everything in common; therefore, everything is
light belongs to the wise."

(Diogenes of Sinop 404-323 BC)

I hope no one will object to the assertion that there are such SECRETS that are only known units dedicated. I was also initiated into one of these secrets, and now I want to reveal it to everyone. This is important now. There is a common expression: knowledge is power! I'll say this: there are times when knowledge is life! In my opinion, this is exactly the case! We all must learn the SECRET, in which only a few are privy. This is necessary so that together we can prevent a terrible crime against humanity. And so that you understand that I am not joking, I want to preface my story about the terrible SECRET with a little background.

Pro freemasons I guess everyone heard? If not, then perhaps you have seen somewhere their conspicuous Masonic symbols? Here she is. By the way, there are a lot of such symbols in the city of St. Petersburg, in churches, on the facades of old buildings, on grave monuments, etc.!

Someone does not believe in any Masons, believes that these are stupid notions. Well, faith is a personal matter for everyone! Someone, on the contrary, is convinced that all or almost all current presidents as well as titled persons (kings, dukes, etc., who still exist somewhere) are, and they constitute union of people, storing various secrets, absolutely closed from everyone else. I am not asserting any of this. I'm just giving it as an example.

For the first time about what exists conspiracy some wise men against the profane, said in his writings the ancient Greek philosopher, biographer and moralist Plutarch. He mentioned in his writings a curious letter from one of the greatest conquerors of the ancient world - Alexander the Great, and it was addressed to the no less famous ancient Greek philosopher and scientist Aristotle.

Alexander the Great, wrote a letter to his teacher Aristotle with the following content: "Alexander to Arstotle wishes well! You did wrong by promulgating teachings intended only for oral teaching. How will we differ from other people if the very teachings on which we were brought up become common property? I would like to SUPERIOR OTHERS not so much power, as much as KNOWLEDGE about higher subjects. Be healthy." (Plutarch. Selected Biographies, Volume 2, p. 367).

From this short note, preserved for history by Plutarch, we can understand that Alexander, being a student of Aristotle, expressed to him the words discontent for the fact that he made public some secret knowledge intended only for chosen castes(i.e. for the caste at the head of the peoples).

We have a unique opportunity to spend now historical parallel between this fact from ancient history and our time, and make sure that "caste of the chosen"- really exists, and these people really have knowledge that is inaccessible to the majority. They hide them from the people, and in order not to lose their power, and thereby " different from other people" .

Today, the words of the head of Sberbank of the Russian Federation allow us to draw such a parallel German Gref which he inadvertently uttered economic forum, held in 2012 in St. Petersburg and dedicated to... "out of the managerial impasse" !

Apparently, a year ago "castes of the chosen" there was a kind of "managerial impasse" , which prompted them to get together in St. Petersburg and discuss at an international forum how to get out of the "management crisis" and what to do next.

We only know about it thanks to a video that got into the world media. That's what it sounded like.

“I want to tell you that you say terrible things, actually, G. Gref began to answer the previous speaker at the forum. What you say makes me scared. Why? You are offering transfer power actually in the hands of the population. But you know, for many thousands of years this problem has been a key one in public discussions. And we know how many wise heads thought about this topic.This is how Buddhism was born. The great heir to one of the richest families in India went to the people and was horrified at how badly the people live, and he tried to help the people. He tried to find the answer, what is the root of happiness, how to make people happier. He did not find an answer, and as a result, Buddhism was born, in which the key ideology that he laid down is the rejection of desire, he did not see a way to realize these desires. People want to be happy, they want to realize their aspirations, and there is no way to realize all desires, ” G. Gref added.

“The economic mode of production dreamed of by Karl Marx has not yet been realized, and therefore it is necessary to work. And not the fact that everyone will get this job, and not the fact that everyone will receive the desired salary, and not the fact that they will be satisfied from this. And wherein if everyone Human will be able to participate directly in management what do we manage?», - complained the president of Sberbank.

“The great minister of justice of China, Confucius, started out as a great democrat, and ended up as a man who came up with a whole theory of Confucianism, which created strata in society, and great thinkers like Lao Tzu came up with their theories of the Tao, ciphering them, afraid to convey to the common people because they understood: as soon as all people understand the basis of their "I", self-identify, manage, that is manipulate them will be extremely hard», G. Gref said.

“People don't want to be manipulated when they have knowledge. In Jewish culture, Kabbalah, which gave the science of life (the question is, to whom? - A.B.) - for three thousand years it has been secret doctrine because people understood what it was like to remove the veil from the eyes of millions of people and make them self-sufficient,” said G. Gref. "Any mass control implies manipulation element. How to live, how to manage such a society where everyone has equal access to information, everyone has the opportunity to receive directly unprepared information through government-trained analysts, political scientists and huge machines that lowered on their heads, the media that as if independent, but in fact we understand that all the media are still busy building, maintaining strata?- finished his speech German Gref, which caused considerable surprise among colleagues.

From this recognition of the head of Sberbank of Russia, several conclusions follow at once:

Conclusion one. The world community on a global scale is indeed divided into two castes: "managers" And "managed". The same applies to individual states.

Second conclusion. Caste "managers" is divided into at least "top managers" and on "lower managers". "Higher" — is a certain ancient race of people who self-proclaimed themselves "first after God", they play the role of "first violin" for the world community, in their hands is the so-called "conceptual management of mankind." "Inferior Managers" are those gentlemen who, among other things, govern global financial system. And they are now, most likely, and there was a kind of "administrative crisis."

If we try to sketch power structure, then we get some pyramid, the top of which will symbolize supreme power over society. A good example is the symbolism on the dollar bill, which is understandable only to the initiated. This pyramid with an eye instead of a top is a symbol world power.

If you try power structure depict in more detail, indicating a number of positions and the degree of dedication to secret knowledge, then you get something similar to this drawing more than a century ago. I reproduce it according to the book of the modern writer V.F. Ivanova "Secrets of Freemasonry".

And finally, the third conclusion. "Caste of the Managed" are all the other people living on the planet. Their destiny is to live in information space, which is completely artificially essentially and to a large extent deceitfully. It is false already for the reason that all the world media information, - as G. Gref admitted, - dissected special specialists - trained by the governments of different countries analysts, political scientists and others "agents" who serve faithfully "caste of managers". The task of all these "agents" is to form a distorted outlook and such performance about the surrounding reality so that millions of people in the world couldn't understand, for example, who controls the global financial system, why evil is multiplying day by day, and morality, called morality, is declining on a global scale, disappears like fog, and why are different religions: Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, if it is stated that God is one...

It is not difficult to understand that the most important thing to worry about "top managers", so only that the bulk of the people do not understand and do not even guess that they manipulated some evil-smart sages. Mind manipulation have long been occurring in absolutely all spheres of life, from natural science before religions. These are the "Big Bang Theory", as a result of which, allegedly, the Universe was formed, and the Theory of Relativity by A. Einstein, and the introduction of the concept of "physical vacuum", and much more. Both that, and another, and the third ..., and the tenth were required solely in order to call millions of people "mind twist" to deprive them of the ability to understand reality.

As for the scale deception of the Russian people in the field of religion, then it was well described and explained back in 1928 by Mark Eli Ravage, personal biographer of the wealthiest Rothschild banking family. I want you to get to know revelation Mark Ravage, before I tell you the SECRET in which I found myself dedicated by chance. Without it, I'm afraid you won't believe in what I will tell you at the very end.

Before quoting historical recognition of Ravage, I consider it my duty to explain under what circumstances it was made.

In 1914 broke out World War I(July 28, 1914 - November 11, 1918), which claimed the lives of more than 10 million soldiers and about 12 million civilians. In October 1917, in the midst of this war in Russia, overthrow of the autocracy. In 1918 revolutionary forces abdicated Tsar Nicholas II and his family were killed, at the same time, in the vastness of the Russian Empire, a Civil War(1918-1922), which claimed the lives of about 10.000.000 people. And even earlier, first in 1903 , and then in 1905 in Russia was printed book by an unknown author, containing detailed plan enslavement of the whole world.

Presented in this book facts, ideas and logics the stories were so detailed, powerful And convincing that this small book is simply amazed imagination of any person who began to read it. By the way, this book today available online and anyone can read it. "This manuscript is too terrible reality to befiction , too much justified to bea mere product of fantasy , and detects too deep knowledge of the secret springs of life to besimple deceit ", - said about this book in 1920, the famous American automaker Henry Ford.

Historical reference:“In 1932, a lawsuit was filed against the Swiss National Party. Its activists sold this “indecent” publication on the steps of the casino in the city of Bern. The process lasted 5 years and hundreds of witnesses from many countries were involved in it. "as a dirty fake, compiled either by the gendarmerie general Rachkovsky, or by the writer Sergei Aleksandrovich Nilus. On May 14, 1936, the Bern court recognized the forgery of the Protocols, but already on November 1, 1937, the Court of Appeal in Zurich overturned this decision". .

Meanwhile, recently I did not have much difficulty prove, and within the same publication, authenticity"Protocols of the Elders of Zion", published in Russia in 1903-1905. I did this with F.M.'s Diary of a Writer. Dostoevsky, published in Russia in 1876-1878.

So, even the most enlightened thinkers that time, living in different parts of the world, gave the impression that this book, which went down in history under the title "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", wrote some inhuman mind .

And if not human mind , then what? is a reasonable question to ask.

to the human mind traditionally opposed devilish mind . And it just so happened in the world that, as soon as it comes to about the devil and his intrigues, then everyone starts looking towards one unique society — Jews .

And in this historical case all enlightened people planets immediately. tied up tragic events taking place at that moment in Russia, with the contents of the book "Protocols of the Elders of Zion". And by linking one to the other, they became blame in all terrible crimes ubiquitous Jews living since ancient timesreligious law under the direction of some"wise men of Zion" who call themselvesservants of Jehovah God.

It is amazing that all these accusations, sounded from a variety of eminent thinkers to Jews decided to answer Mark Eli Ravage, personal biographer of the richest Jewish family Rothschild .

Historical reference: Mark Eli Ravage (Max Ravich), an immigrant from Romania of "Jewish" origin, who became the personal biographer of the Rothschild family, decidedin 1928engage in special propaganda and burst into an article "Real accusations against the Jews, one of which points to the full depth of their guilt". Its original purpose was to defame Christianity. For this, the classic technique of "information stuffing" was applied - to recognize most of the truth and add piece of misinformation , designed to "suppress the will to resist the enemy." So Ravage honestly acknowledged the historical guilt of the "Jews" in a variety of atrocities - from usury and inciting wars and revolutions to penetrating legislation and substituting values. At the same time, he tried to put in the “main” propaganda idea: “It was we who invented Christ for you and thereby enslaved the goyim.” .

This shocking all revelation Ravage was published in the magazine The Century Magazine(January 1928, Volume 115, Number 3, Pages 346-350”), and then only once, in 1965, was republished by a small pro-Nazi publishing house Viking age, which was closed shortly thereafter. I want to bring here only some of the most impressive fragments Russian translation this long-standing but very interesting magazine publication. As you know, any special propaganda contains up to 90% true but only 10% lie Therefore, the recognition of Mark Ravage to know today, in my opinion, is extremely important for us.

"A clumsy Russian prints a book and calls it "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", which shows that we made the first world war. Do you believe this book? Fine. If it comes to that, we will sign under each of her protocols, so you can calm down - she is real, authentic. But what follows from the fact that we are the cause of all the conspiracies in history of which you accuse us? You do not even have the courage to bring us to justice, much less to punish us, although you have full list of our crimes.

If you are serious enough to talk about Jewish conspiracies , may I draw your attention to one of them worth talking about. What's the use of wasting words to control public opinion Jewish bankers, newspaper and film oligarchs when you might as well accuse us of we control all your civilization through Jewish Gospel..."

"You make a lot of noise about the overwhelming Jewish dominance in your theaters and cinemas. Very good if so. But what about what's under our control are and your churches, and your schools, and your laws, and your governments, and your very thoughts and concepts in which you think. Do you even exist in Jewish conceptual space ! How can you get rid of from your own shadow?"

"It seems incredible, but you Christians, and you have no idea, where came your religion where did it come from and how? Your historians don't tell you. Books on the subject that are part of your bible, you repeat like parrots but don't delve into them. We have done our job carefully , A do you believe our propaganda literally. The advent of Christianity for you is not a historical event that logically follows from other events of that time, but the fulfillment of Jewish divine prophecy - with your slight modifications. Where can you see that it destroyed the Great Non-Jewish civilization and the Great Non-Jewish Empire, with which Jewish Judea waged constant wars. Where can you see what Christianity threw Europe into barbarism and darkness for a thousand years. How - it brought "Salvation" to the non-Jewish world!

Meanwhile, at that time, in the Roman Empire, there was a huge underground movement that emanated from the center in Palestine, and spread Jewish agitators , financed Jewish money , and transferred to Jewish notes and conversations . Rome destroyed Jerusalem with brute force, but after a while she herself fell without a single shot being fired. - You don't even see it! Although even a developed child, not fooled by the church, will tell you the same thing just by reading chronology of events of that time. And after all this you keep mumbling about Jewish conspiracies poking us in First World War And revolution in Russia?"

Even 200 years ago, an English historian tried to enlighten you Edward Gibbon(1737-1794), who wrote the greatest historical work "History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire". Let's face it, Gibbon, being no stranger to history, is by no means DID NOT TRY introduce destruction Non-Jewish Empire nonsense, like SPONTANEOUS economic stagnation, the decline of morals, the growth of promiscuity , while In fact The empire was then at the zenith of his fame and creative upsurge... Gibbon had no difficulty pointing out for illness, which eroded and destroyed majestic building of ancient civilization. He pointed to Christianity- That law, which came from Zion , on the "word of God" that came from Jerusalem, as on root cause decline and death The Roman Empire and all that came from it.

But Gibbon didn't go any further... He didn't consider alternatives. He saw like a wave coming down from the Mediterranean foreign mass (referred to as Jews- A.B.) and fill Europe. He never understood that all this Christian legend with "Salvation" was conceived for this. But facts are stubborn things.

Let me briefly, and without mysticism and embellishments, retell this legend...
Leaving aside the personal qualities of Jesus of Nazareth, he was, like his predecessors, a political agitator against a foreign occupier. There are even hints that he wanted to become king of Judah. He claimed, or his later biographers claimed for him, that he was descended from the royal family of David. However, his paternal line was rather messed up. The same writers who traced his mother's husband's lineage to the psalmist king (David) also portrayed Jesus as the son of Jehovah and admitted that Joseph was not his father.

However, it seems that Jesus realized in advance the futility of his political mission and turned all his oratorical talent and popularity among the masses in a completely different direction. He started promoting primitive forms of populism, socialism and pacifism. The effect of this change in his propaganda was to create hostility towards him on the part of the wealthy and the Jewish priests, as well as to limit his followers only to the poor proletarian masses and slaves.

After his death, his followers formed communities communist brotherhood. The sermon that their leader delivered on top of the mountain (Sermon on the Mount. - Note. translator), summarized for them essence of his teaching and they did this teaching the rule of your life. It was a philosophy designed to obedience And obedience. She comforted those who suffer in this world and promised rewards after life. People too weak to fight learned not to resist evil. People who hunchbacked from dawn until late at night were given an installation on positivity labor that brought them nothing but poverty. Lowered, robbed, beggars, humiliated and insulted - they were given a promise be an elite in the underworld before God. Rich, ambitious, powerful, worldly people were denied heaven...

In normal times, no one would have paid attention to this shabby brethren. For the most part, they were slaves and workers, their oppression made them useless soldiers. But when the country of Judea was in a state of struggle with a foreign enemy, the philosophy of Christianity began to seem very dangerous. It was a belief of unbelief, illusions, detachment from all problems and outright defeatism. She threatened to undermine the morale of the nation fighting the aggressor. This is the notorious “blessing of those who bring peace”, “turning the other cheek”, this is “non-resistance to evil by violence”, this inexplicable love for the enemy, looked like purposeful attempt paralyze the will of the nation, cause a crisis and ensure the victory of the enemy.

Thus, it is not surprising that the Jewish authorities began to persecute the supporters of Jesus. Their rallies were hunted down and dispersed. In the end, almost all the leaders were imprisoned and their doctrine was banned. It seemed that the sect of Christians was doomed, but the curtain of the new act unexpectedly rose, and events took a new turn.

It is possible that the most cruel persecutor of the sectarians was a certain Saul, who was engaged in the production of tents and awnings. An inhabitant of Tarsus and thus a man brought up in Greek culture, he despised their teachings of renunciation of worldly fuss and their remoteness from life. As a patriotic Jew, he was frightened by the influence of this sect on the identity of the nation. An educated man who knew several languages, he was ideal for wandering around the Jewish communities scattered throughout the Mediterranean in order to counter the harmful doctrine of pacifism. The authorities of Jerusalem appointed him the chief persecutor of the sect of the followers of Jesus.

He was on his way to Damascus to arrest a group of sectarians when a new idea came to him. In one of the vague phrases of the book of the Acts of the Holy Apostles, the Gospel, he saw a good idea. In fact, there were two thoughts. To begin with, he realized how futile efforts little Judea against the then Roman superpower. Second, and more important, it occurred to him that she hermit sect, with which he represses, can, if you try, become in time a threatening force not only for Judea, but also for Rome. Pacifism, non-resistance, hermitism, love of enemies, were dangerous exercises at home. However, if this teaching is spread among the enemy troops, it can undermine their discipline and tip the scales in favor of Jerusalem. Paul-Saul, in modern terms, first understood the meaning of propaganda behind enemy lines.

He reached Damascus, and here, to the astonishment of his friends and those whom he was about to repress, Saul announced his conversion to this faith and asked permission to the brotherhood. On his return to Jerusalem, he placed before the astonished Jewish Sanhedrin draft new strategy. After much debate and deliberation, a new strategy was adopted... Thus, Saul, the persecutor of Christians, became Paul, the Christian apostle. And thus to pagan Europe gushed completely alien to her religion ".

"To Paul's surprise new religion worked too well ... For four centuries, the huge Roman Empire, which conquered along with half the world and small Jewish Palestine, became a pile of rubble, and the law of Zion became the official religion of Rome.

"That was just the beginning OUR CONQUERING THE WORLD- only the beginning. From that moment on, all YOUR story and in all countries - this is a story of conquest YOUR HIS old pagan spirit OUR Jewish spirit ...

WE did it solely by force OUR spirit, by using OUR ideas, by using OUR propaganda .

WE done YOU voluntary and unconscious bearers of our mission in this world, messengers to the barbarian races of Earth, and to countless generations yet to be born. Without a clear understanding of how WE YOU use, YOU become agents of our racial tradition and culture, carrying IS OUR Gospel to all corners of the world.

OUR tribal laws became the basis YOUR HIS moral code. OUR tribal laws became the basis of all YOUR constitutions and laws.OUR legends and myths became truths that YOU sing to your babies.OUR poets have written everything YOUR prayer books and books.OUR the national history of Israel became the basis YOUR own history.OUR kings, statesmen, warriors and prophets became and YOUR heroes too.OUR tiny ancient country has become YOUR Holy Land!OUR mythology has become YOUR Holy Bible! Thoughts and ideasOUR people are intertwined with YOUR traditions to the extent that YOU is not considered an educated person who is not familiar withOUR racial heritage.

Jewish artisans and fishermen - YOUR spiritual teachers and YOUR saints who YOU worship countless images YOUR icons and churches named after them. Jewish woman - This YOUR the ideal of motherhood is the Mother of God. And the Jewish rebel is the central figure YOUR HIS religious worship. WE destroyed YOUR gods, WE Othrew everything away YOUR racial characteristics, and replaced them with God in accordance withOUR own traditions. Not a single conquest in history is even remotely comparable to how completelyWE YOU won.

Is it surprising that YOU hateUS ?"

" WE put the stopcock on YOUR progress. WE imposed on YOU alien TO YOU book and someone else TO YOU faith that YOU can neither swallow nor digest because it is contrary to YOUR natural spirit, which as a result is in a diseased state, and as a result YOU cannot, nor acceptOUR spirit completely, nor kill him, and are in a state of split personality - schizophrenia".

"YOU, Christians, never completely Christianized. In this respect WE dealt with YOU not to the end. But we have taken from YOU the joy and enjoyment of YOUR natural religion!

So why not TO YOU do not hate US ?

After reading these revelations in The Century Magazine in 1928 Mark Ravage, personal biographer of the Rothschild family, the sane people of the planet again faced some downright inhuman logic , which they had previously encountered in "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" and did not fit in their minds. Now, in line with this terrible book, there is also the confession of Mark Ravage, who volunteered to assert that some very cunning people, nicknamed "wise men of Zion", were able spiritually enslave many countries and peoples imposition to all the Bible, which was deliberately written so that deprive people of their minds, cause them to state schizophrenia! Such courage in the revelation of Mark Ravage is easily explained by his own words: " which follows from the fact thatWE are the cause of all the conspiracies in history in which YOU US accuse? YOU do not even have the courage to attract US for this, all the more PUNISH, although YOU have a complete list of our crimes.

It is on this sad note that I will end my PREFACE, and now I will tell everyone a terrible secret, which will make everyone sad, even those Jews who today boast and rejoice that THEY HAVE CONQUERED US!

People love to read anything related to incredible mysteries. Many of us are familiar with dark tales of unknown serial killers Jack the Ripper and the Zodiac, strange phenomena like the Taos Rumble, and extraterrestrial battles that took place in the skies over Los Angeles. Today we decided to dig deeper and find unsolved mysteries that many have hardly ever heard of. So…

Who is this strange girl in old photographs that were kept in one of the Siberian museums?

When workers at the Krasnoyarsk Regional Museum in Siberia set about digitizing a series of photographs dating back to the early 1900s, they discovered something startling. Twenty photographs and four photographic plates, which were taken between 1906 and 1908, showed the same girl.

RT reports that this girl is wearing a white dress in every photo. In all the pictures, she stands in the same pose, with the same facial expression. Her dress and shoes are sometimes changed, but her appearance is always reserved. In some photographs, the girl is standing so far away that it is very difficult to notice her. Museum staff managed to see the child only after digitizing these images. They suggest that the girl could be related to the photographer, but no one knows for sure who she really was.

What happened inside the Chase family vault?

In 1812, a Barbadian landowner, Colonel Thomas Chase, committed suicide. When the workers opened the family crypt and removed the marble slab, they discovered that the two coffins in which his daughters were buried were not in their places. According to some versions of this story, the crypt was opened four times during the entire time. Every time a deceased family member was buried in it, the workers found that the coffins that were already there were constantly in different places, as if someone had deliberately moved them.

The people buried in the crypt, whose peace was constantly disturbed, really existed, but no one knows how the legend of moving coffins arose. Presumably, the original story came from the memoirs of the governor of Barbados, but no one has been able to find them. The lack of evidence made people doubt that all this really took place.

What made the Colossi of Memnon sing?

Colossi of Memnon, 19th century

The Colossi of Memnon stand on the west bank of the Nile River for about 3,400 years. They once guarded the memorial temple of Amenhotep III, of which almost nothing remains today. However, two massive stone statues of the pharaoh still stand in that place in quiet silence.

In 27 BC, a strong earthquake struck the region, which damaged the northern statue. After that, she began to sing at dawn. The phenomenon attracted tourists from all over the ancient world. Many Roman emperors made the pilgrimage to the Colossi of Memnon to hear the strange singing of the statue of the pharaoh. It has been compared to a whistle, the sound of hitting a brass object or breaking the strings of a lyre.

In 199 AD, Emperor Septimius Severus ordered the restoration of the damaged statue, and the singing ceased. What exactly caused the Colossi of Memnon to sing at sunrise is unknown. Perhaps the whole thing was the evaporation of moisture and an increase in temperature. Who knows?

What was in the box that Joanna Southcott left behind?

Joanna Southcott was born in 1750 in a small village in Devon (England). When she was 42 years old, she declared that she had supernatural powers. She began to write prophecies and consider herself "a woman clothed with the sun" (the book "The Revelation of John the Theologian"). When Southcott was visiting London, she was involved in the sale of "seals of the Lord", which allegedly granted each of the 144,000 holders the right to eternal life.

Southcott died shortly after she announced she was pregnant by the biblical character Shiloh. Joanna's followers, numbering over 100,000, refused to bury her body in the hope that she would be resurrected. Before her death, Southcott gave them a sealed wooden box that supposedly contained the prophecies. She said that it would need to be opened during a national crisis.

In 1927, a man named Harry Price claimed to have a box of Joanna Southcott in his hands. In it, he found some strange pieces of paper, a lottery ticket and a gun. Southcott's followers believed that the box Price spoke of was not real.

Although Judgment Day has already passed (according to Southcott's prophecies, this event should have occurred in 2004), the Panacea Society in Bedford claims that the mysterious wooden box holds many more unsolved secrets.

Who built the temple at Baalbek and why?

The largest megalith of Baalbek is surrounded by many unsolved mysteries.

According to one local legend, an ancient temple at Baalbek (a city in present-day Lebanon) was built to hide Cain from the wrath of God and became known as the Tower of Babel. Other stories claim that it was created by jinn, supernatural beings from Arabic and Islamic mythology, who mutinied and threw several huge stone blocks into place.

If we put aside legends, traditions and religion, then the world does not know who and why actually ordered the construction of the temple in Baalbek and why some of its largest megaliths were abandoned. We only know that it was an epic process. It started about 2000 years ago. For the construction of the temple, blocks were used that were 40 times larger than the stones of Stonehenge. The largest of them weighs as much as 1650 tons. The weight of the megalith itself is about 1360 tons.

While some believe the megalith was carved by the Romans (who knew Baalbek by its Greek name, Heliopolis), the reason for its incredible size and why it was eventually abandoned remains an unsolved mystery. German researchers called Baalbek "unreasonably large." It became the most photographed place in the 19th century.

Who really was Leather Man from Connecticut?

Leather Man, whose identity remains an unsolved mystery

The first mention of the so-called Leather Man (he got this nickname because he wore clothes made from scraps of leather) appeared in one of the local newspapers in 1852. The Leather Man traveled through Connecticut, New York and Vermont to Canada. He knew this route like the back of his hand. Along the way, he stopped in caves, where he specially left firewood and essentials.

The inhabitants of the towns through which the Leather Man passed knew him. He even managed to make friends with some of them. In Connecticut, he always stayed at the Buell family farm. The Leather Man also liked to stop by Harding's grocery store in Branford, Connecticut, for lunch along the way. His route, 590 kilometers long, took 34 days. Leather Man traveled through it until his death in 1889. Who he was, no one knows, but a couple of interesting facts about his personality are still known to us.

Leather Man was literate; he spoke English and French. The name "Jules Burglay" was carved on his tombstone. He was buried in a mass grave in Ossing, New York. After this place began to attract more and more curious visitors, the Ossing Historical Society decided to install a tombstone here. Eventually, the grave's proximity to Highway 9 led to the exhumation and reburial of Leatherman's body. However, when archaeologists dug up the grave, apart from a few rusty nails, they found nothing else.

Who was the Atlas Vampire?

In 1932, the body of thirty-two-year-old prostitute Lily Lindstorm was found in one of the Stockholm apartments. The girl was beaten to death with an unknown heavy object. There was a bloody ladle next to her body. The Stockholm police speculated that the killer, who later earned the nickname "Atlas Vampire" (Atlas was the name of the area where Lindstorm lived), used it to drink the blood of his victim.

By the time Lily's body was discovered, she had already been dead for several days. Someone literally sucked all the blood out of the girl. Photos from the crime scene and other evidence are still kept in the Stockholm Police Museum.

Investigators interviewed Lily's acquaintances and clients, but no charges were brought against anyone. Lindstorm's murder remains a strange and frightening unsolved mystery.

What do Ricky McCormick's encrypted messages mean and who killed him?

Notes by Ricky McCormick

Forty-one-year-old Ricky McCormick disappeared in June 1999. His decomposing body was subsequently discovered in a field in Missouri. The fact that he died a violent death was obvious (given the place where his corpse was found, as well as McCormick's criminal past), but the police could not establish exactly how he was dealt with. In addition, investigators found several strange pieces of paper in Rika's pockets, on which, in all likelihood, encrypted messages were written. They puzzled even the best cryptanalysts.

A few years after McCormick's body was discovered, the police posted encrypted notes on the Internet in the hope that one of the users would be able to decipher Ricky's strange code. So far this has not produced any results.

Who were the Green Children of Woolpit?

Ralph of Coggeschel and William of Newburgh, who lived in the 12th century, described in their writings the incredible appearance in Suffolk (England) of two orphaned children. The boy and the girl came to the village of Woolpit. They were said not to speak an incomprehensible language, to eat only raw beans, to wear unusual clothes, and—strangest of all—to have green skin. They were taken in by Sir Richard de Kane. Gradually, they lost their unnatural skin color and learned to speak English. The boy subsequently died of an unknown disease, and the girl told the new family that they came from the underworld - St. Martin's Land, where it is dark all the time. She also said that she and her brother got lost because of the loud ringing of bells they heard when they were herding cattle. So the Green Children ended up in Woolpit.

Ralph of Coggeschel and William of Newburgh claimed to have heard the story from Sir Richard himself. Subsequently, the girl married one of the residents of King's Lynn and may have become known as Agnes Barre. The veracity of the story is impossible to establish, so at the moment it remains an unsolved mystery.

Various theories have been put forward to explain the children's green complexion and the incomprehensible language they spoke. One of them claimed that the orphans were the descendants of persecuted Flemish immigrants who were killed at Fornham in 1173. While they wandered in search of people, malnutrition caused an iron deficiency in their bodies (chlorosis). This, in turn, caused the children's skin to take on a greenish tint.
