What happens when you question every authority you have ever believed?
You're on the path from slavery to freedom--but it can be destabilizing!
Logical fallacies (see last week’s post, Learning to think: logical fallacies) have been around since the time of Aristotle, and they are rampant in the world today. Last week I looked at some of the most common ones and how they are used by The ScienceTM to convince us that “viruses” exist, bacteria cause disease, and people make each other sick through contagion, as well as how they can show up in our own thinking.
I was going to write a calm, no-drama piece about how “appeals to authority” and other fallacies have been misleading us about pretty much everything for a number of generations at least. This is something of an illustration of my oft-repeated contention that the awareness that viruses have never been proven to exist can open the door to deeper questioning and conceivably can change everything, including our understanding of what we are as human beings along with our history on this planet and the history of everything we take for granted around us.
But this is probably going to be more of a rant, because thinking about how much we have been lied to and how much history has been manipulated is just making me mad right now. It’s rather easy to be glib about saying, “Oh yes, they’ve lied to us about everything—nothing that we’ve been told about ourselves and reality is true.” But it’s another thing to really take that in. It calls into question at least, and sometimes takes away, every particle of ground under my feet, every scrap of any identity I have ever defined myself as, and every familiar signpost for navigating life and the world from minute to minute.
Now maybe losing all that familiarity and assumed reality is necessary if I am to lose all the programming and learn what is really here and who I really am, and who we all really are. I just find myself wondering if there will be anything left. Is there anything to us beyond the programming? And what if it’s all a simulation—every bit of it?
Old-world buildings—who really built them?
Let me explain what got me to this state this morning. It has to do with information I’ve been coming across about “old-world buildings” and questions being asked about them. The argument is being made by many that ornate and beautiful old buildings which exist and have existed all over the world in much the same style are remnants of a previous civilization on the planet that existed until quite recently. Not thousands of years ago, but only hundreds of years ago.
I have been aware for a year or two of questions some have raised about the numerous world’s fairs and expos that occurred in many US and other cities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries—events for which massive, beautiful buildings and facilities were supposedly put up in a very short time, and then demolished a few months later as if they were disposable. This did indeed seem strange, but I didn’t connect it to my life or my immediate concerns until I saw a video about buildings of the same type in my city—not torn down, but still there and in use. Buildings that are part of the normal landscape. These included the state capitol, two flagship cathedrals, and numerous downtown buildings with detailed and ornate façades incongruent with the types of businesses that use them today, one of which is a strip club.
Once I realized that beautiful old buildings in the world’s fairs being demolished more than a century ago were related to these buildings right in my own city today, buildings I have been inside of numerous times (not the strip club), it became more real to me that history may actually, really, not be anything like what we’ve been told. I remember going on a class trip to the state capitol when I was in fifth grade, and then doing a writing assignment about how it was built, what it was made of, and so on. After watching the video above, I feel sure that the story we were told and what we dutifully regurgitated in that fifth grade writing assignment is not true.
Besides that, the inevitable questions come up of why some of these buildings have been demolished and others have not, and who is behind this!

Deep embeddedness in nature?
Let me start a little further back by telling you about my own thinking on earth history and human history, because that’s how deep the questioning goes with these old buildings. Until recently my views were heavily influenced by the ideas of deep ecology—that humans are only one species of a multitude that have evolved on this planet together for 4 ½ billion years or so. My belief was that we as human beings belong here. We were not dropped off by aliens, we did not spring up without any connection to the rest of nature, but we are an integral part of the natural world and of the planetary being that is Earth.
It seemed to me that if we understood ourselves this way, humans would not treat the rest of the natural world as if it had no inherent value except as products for our use and disposal. We would stop wounding our planet heedlessly with deforestation, chemical mining, and so much other destructive activity. We would stop driving other species to extinction and treat all beings with kindness and reciprocity.
Genetic tampering by aliens?
Then a couple of years ago I came across the idea that humanity, while native to this planet, is actually a superior race with tremendous creative power that has been genetically tampered with and hybridized to tame and exploit that power. This was done by “negative high-frequency beings” from elsewhere in the galaxy who turned us into servants or slaves by programming us with false knowledge about our origins and preventing us from knowing our true nature. Their power over us is coming to an end for a variety of reasons, and a positive future is in the making, but it may be very different from what we are used to or what we expect.
One version of the alien/genetic tampering/enslavement story (not my version)
Making the shift in my understanding of human beings from deep ecological embeddedness to hybridization by aliens was pretty painful, and it still makes me feel a little bit sick inside. One upside to this narrative, however, is that it validates my long-standing sense that human nature is not as it is usually portrayed. We seem to be the type of species—hybridized or not—that is capable of a wide range of destructive and violent behavior towards each other and other beings on the planet. But we are not inherently greedy, cruel, sadistic, and uncaring, nor are we inherently submissive, obedient to authority, self-hating, and self-destructive.
We take on those behaviors when we are living within systems that engender and even require us to act in those ways in order to survive—and when we are programmed that way. Some humans who “sell their souls to the devil” for money or power are especially prone to these behaviors. But we are not the kind of being that creates systems like that. We are living in systems created by a different kind of being, which has also conditioned and instructed us to believe that we are “the enemy,” a bad species that deserves to be dominated. A huge pack of lies. This is how I see it.
All the narratives have some truth, none have all of it
I’m aware that everyone reading this probably has a slightly or significantly different take on human and planetary history as well as current events. There are numerous narratives that purport to explain these things, and I am pretty sure that none of them, including the one(s) that make the most sense to me at this moment, have the whole truth. But most of them have some of the truth. And most if not all of what we have always been taught and have believed is likely false. I have not been overly concerned about needing to know exactly which elements of which narratives are the true ones, partly because at this point it is more important to see what is false and not be immediately pushed to replace the false knowledge. Let it sit for a while. It will all become clear at some point. And I am also aware that the future is not predetermined but unfolds and is affected by everything we are doing right now.
All of this, of course, is fairly destabilizing.
Some say the rose windows in cathedrals built by the previous civilization amplified and harmonized sound from the pipe organs, and that these buildings were cymatic healing centers.
Highly civilized in a good way
So then we come to the narrative about old-world buildings created by a previous civilization that understood beauty and harmony, knew how to harvest free energy from the ether, used cymatics for sound healing and engineering feats, and much more that is far advanced from what we know how to do. This narrative of a previous civilization also includes giant human beings, depopulation and repopulation, mudfloods, and the apparent creation of an entire historical narrative of at least the past 2000 years if not longer, that is largely or even completely false. That would be the history of our own ancestry—our past, by which, at least in part, we have learned to know who we are.
There is an inherent appeal to authority in the way this information is presented—it is what we are taught in school and what is printed in history books and explained in documentaries, and there are all those historical documents and pictures whose truthfulness we never thought to question—why would we? As well as all the literature, art, and other cultural representations of those stories. They are told to us by people who supposedly know the “facts,” people like historians and teachers, scholars and professors, authority figures all—and so we have believed this false narrative. We are now, in seeing our error in unquestioningly accepting so many things we’ve been told, blasting away the logical fallacy in our own thinking.
Why I got mad this morning
What happened this morning is that I watched a video about old-world buildings in Sydney, Australia, that according to the narrative were all designed by one individual about whom there was not very much information except that he had designed all of these buildings. Pretty sketchy. Then I looked up the Minnesota State Capitol on Wikipedia to see who its architect was, and learned again, as I had in fifth grade, that it was designed by Cass Gilbert, a nationally known architect credited with designing not just the Minnesota State Capitol but two other state capitols as well as the Supreme Court building in Washington, DC, and many other buildings across the country.
Unlike the sketchy-looking Australian fellow, who may or may not have been an architect (information is lacking), Cass Gilbert was a real person and a renowned architect. At least, I think that’s so! And he has local connections: he reportedly worked with an architecture firm in St. Paul before he got famous and moved to New York. So he’s kind of a home boy! And if he’s not a real person, then the whole narrative of his life and work that appears in numerous books and historical plaques is fake. That really strains credulity! (But then, it seems we should get used to having our credulity strained! A consequence of not exercising it for so long!)
Gilbert was influenced in his design of the Minnesota State Capitol by one of the world’s fairs, the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. I’m not delving into the world’s fair issue here (though it is fascinating), but here is a picture of the massive buildings, large pool, and huge gold statute that were supposedly thrown up just for temporary use and then demolished. If I wasn’t sure whether to believe the narrative of Mr. Gilbert, his purported connection to this in itself would make me suspicious.
World’s Columbian Exposition, 1893
If he was a real person and really an architect (more likely in my view), but didn’t design the Minnesota State Capitol, he must have known it was already there and been part of the conspiracy to falsify its origins by claiming he designed it! This is even more likely if he was in on the fake story of the World’s Columbian Exposition. He is someone I had some respect for, if only because he supposedly designed so many beautiful buildings! And if he not only didn’t design them, but participated in the cover-up of their true origins, then he doubly doesn’t deserve my respect!
This makes me mad—mad at this supposed architect for lying and compromising his own integrity and fraudulently getting me to respect him, mad at whoever else was involved in falsifying the origins of the Minnesota State Capitol and roping in the school kids so even little old 10-year-old me was part of maintaining the fraudulent narrative—and mad also at the people who are telling me these highly uncomfortable things! Things I didn’t want to know, things that are straining my credulity. And how much of what they say is true? Yes, it’s highly uncomfortable! My head is spinning.
The two cathedrals mentioned in the My Lunch Break video were both (supposedly) designed by Emmanuel Louis Masqueray, who was connected with Cass Gilbert’s architecture firm for a time. Masqueray also is credited with being the chief architect of the St. Louis World’s Fair of 1904, also known as the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. Here again, Masqueray’s connection to another of the infamous world’s fairs makes his designing of the St. Paul Cathedral just a few years later also highly suspect.
This was the first St. Paul Cathedral, built in 1851. Just 50 years later, the magnificent structure pictured below was built. Does this seem likely?
St. Paul Cathedral, St. Paul, Minnesota, supposedly designed by Emmanuel Masqueray. See how it anchors the whole landscape of the city? And could that have been built in 1904-1915?
‘We’ve been lied to’ is embodied in buildings
As I think this through and write it down, it’s becoming more clear that “we’ve been lied to about everything” has moved from being a thought, a cognition, a mental event, to being real in an embodied way. “Viruses” aren’t real and never were, so being lied to about them doesn’t affect me directly. I had no investment in their existence. (This would be entirely different for a medical professional or a virologist, of course, coming to terms with the lies of their field and its impact on their own identity.)
Now, though, I’m confronted with massive lies about the world around me, embodied in buildings like the state capitol and the two massive cathedrals that have been right in front of me for my whole life, that I wrote about as a fifth-grader, that I have attended events at numerous times. Buildings that have been part of my day-to-day reality, landmarks, guideposts orienting me to my city and its purported history, holding down the reality of this place with their weight and their importance to the community. And yet the narrative of their design and construction is completely fake. They are right there exemplifying the depth of the lies that have been told to us and symbolizing, for me, the dissolution of the familiar reality that they anchored, which is part of my sense of who I am and where I came from.

So who designed and built these buildings really? What happened to those people—where did they go? And who is it that is trying to erase this history by demolishing so many of these beautiful old buildings, and trying to hide the remaining ones in plain sight with false narratives about their design and construction? What happened to the free-energy technology that these buildings evidently used to contain? And why does it seem that our societies today, supposedly the apex of human evolution to this point, are so much more primitive than the previous civilization that created these magnificent buildings and the advanced technology they held?
It’s my guess that the answers to these questions will be found as more investigation is done. For now, not knowing is an exercise in letting go of the need to know, letting go of the familiar narratives of identity that only seem to be definitive of who I am, letting go of every scrap of what has been familiar and being able to face and even embrace uncertainty at the deepest possible level. This, to me, as destabilizing and disorienting as it can be at times, is the path from slavery to freedom. It is the path that we embark on when we start to question any aspect of the accepted narrative, such as the existence of viruses and contagion. It’s not an easy path, but it’s the only one that is worth traveling.
While we definitely need to question everything we have been told about everything, it’s important to remember that all the narratives about “what is really true” must be held lightly and questioned—the new ones as much as the old ones. It’s no good just switching our external authority from those teachers and books and accepted narratives to these new teachers and books/videos and their new narratives. Approaching all of it critically and leaving it all open to being disproven is essential to avoid falling into the old authority trap which we are now starting to climb out of.
As always, thanks for reading. I welcome your comments on all of this. And I do encourage you, if you are at all interested, to check out My Lunch Break on YouTube or Rumble. Some other people doing research about the previous civilization, sometimes called Tartaria, are Zachary and Stephen Denman who are also on both YouTube and Rumble. Please share in the comments any links or resources that you would recommend for these topics.
And if you have an hour and a half, take a look at this recently released documentary called Old World Order that is available for free viewing.
I welcome all comments, and will not engage in arguments about the various narratives regarding human and earth history. Everyone is entitled to their own set of beliefs. I find it fascinating to learn how differently people understand these things, and I do not think it is of any use to insist on one right way.

Designing a small building old style, i.e. with pencil and paper, by one person was an impossible task. First, you would have to have the knowledge of everything, from the ground base (different in different locations), to materials, to manufacturing and construction technologies, to installations and more.
Because you’ve never heard about the Capitol building being erected three times, right? The first one collapsed at an early stage due to poor load bearing calculations. the second one collapsed when almost ready because the underlying landslide was not accounted for in the design. They finally managed it the third time. No, it’s not a real story. It’s an example - old style buildings were built once and for good. One attempt, success. All of them. Many of them are still standing. Unlike many more modern structures which are a parody of the construction art.
Then comes the actual building part. Transport, timing, site management, rotation of workers, a nightmare for every construction in progress. Back then? Without planning software or delivery tracking? With materials imported from the other part of the world? No way.
Now, imagine this process for a large building, like a city hall. One person? An “architect”?
Two questions remain unanswered. One, who was (has been?) the real designer(s)? Two, how did they tweak time? The latter is more important. Basically, you’d never bother to build something and make it ready long after you are dead. For fame? That’s a kid’s fairy tale. You only make physical, tangible efforts when they benefit you this lifetime.
More on the note of the article: Where have all long road routes in the US (and the rest of the world) come from? Across the whole country, back and forth, many rarely used. We’ve seen railway construction in western movies, but they never showed how a route of several thousand miles was planned, designed and built. Still there, by the way.
I'm glad to be on the path to freedom but I agree, it can be destabilizing, especially since my loved ones aren't on the same path. Sometimes I wonder if I've entered some other reality, where everything is upside down and not as I previously thought. The old-world buildings are fascinating and I can't wait for free energy and some of this old knowledge to be known to us!
