This world is strange and gorgeously confusing. Currently I am looking for a movie called: “The secret of Doctor Grinberg.” Have you heard about him? Mentioning bc of McKenna.

If you look up to the stars, and use the Stellarium app (because we are incapable humans today..), in the constellation Andromeda (a sacrificial myth?) there are 2 main very important stars: ALAMAK and SIRRAH, one at Andromeda’s feet, the other at her head. If you read them backwards, it spells out that cackling Macbeth. World is truly strange 🫖

https://www.amazon.com/Triumph-Provocation-Jozef-Mackiewicz-ebook/dp/B003Y8XIZY

This masterful political treatise, first published in 1962, examines the history and nature of Communism as it developed in the Soviet Union and in Poland. Józef Mackiewicz, known for his relentless opposition to Communism, argues that accommodation with the Communists simply helped them to impose their vision of the world and pursue their goal of global domination. He compares Communism to Nazism and insists that the former was the greater threat to the future of humanity.

Now available in English for the first time, The Triumph of Provocation will be compelling reading for those interested in Polish history, Communism, and Nazism.

Mackiewicz’s unique interpretation of the differences and similarities between Communism and Nazism is highly relevant to debates about these two systems and to major contemporary issues which are of particular importance to the U.S. and Europe, including radical Islam and the necessity of war and the responsibility for war
