The Iron Age Of The Kali Yuga & How The ‘Bankers’ Became The Villains Of Our Time

by Thomas S.

Of the wealth of Sanskrit literature which has been handed down from ancient times by the remnants of Āryan culture which still exist in the world, the Bhāgavata Purāṇa, consisting of some 18,000 verses which unfold across twelve cantos of graduated wisdom, is one of India’s most comprehensive scriptural texts.

Although the sage Vyāsadeva is credited as being the compiler of this Bhāgavata Purāṇa (which is also known as the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam), the text itself is of the nature of ‘embedded narratives’, wherein several layers of dialogue by a number of different speakers are recited within each other, like a collection of Russian Matryoshka dolls.

The first layer of these conversations takes place amongst an assembly of sages headed by Śaunaka Ṛṣi, who after foreseeing the future calamities of the Kali Yuga which had already been set in motion, had gathered in the forest of Naimiṣāraṇya in northern India to perform a one thousand year-long sacrifice.

One morning while gathered around the sacrificial fire, the sages appealed to the most learned and qualified amongst themselves: a Vedic scholar by the name of Sūta Gosvāmī, who was well versed in the Purāṇas, histories and the Dharma Śāstras, to distill the essence of his acquired wisdom for the good of all living beings in times to come.

Taking his seat, the learned sage began to speak before those assembled in the forest, recollecting the same wisdom which had previously been spoken by the sky-clad mendicant Śukadeva Gosvāmī to a king who was awaiting his death and inquiring about the duty of everyone in all circumstances – and especially of one who is about to die.

This king was none other than Parīkṣit Mahārāja, the grandson of the renowned archer Arjuna, who had received the knowledge of the Bhagavad-gītā from Kṛṣṇa during the Kurukṣetra war of the Mahābhārata.

Having inherited the kingdom of the Pāṇḍavas from his great-uncle Yudhiṣṭhira, Parīkṣit Mahārāja is regarded as having been the last of the kṣatriya kings to successfully stave off the arrival of the Kali Yuga, some five millennia ago.

THE IRON AGE OF THE KALI YUGA

According to the ancient Āryans, the Kali Yuga is one of four cosmic ages or epochs, which are not dissimilar to those conceived of by the ancient Greeks and various other cultures.

In the Vedic version however, the four yugas or epochs are noted as being seasonal or cyclical in nature and are known respectively as the Satya (or Kṛta) Yuga, the Tretā Yuga, the Dvāpara Yuga and the Kali Yuga.

The golden age of the Satya Yuga is compared to spring, the Tretā Yuga to summer, Dvāpara Yuga to autumn and the iron age of the Kali Yuga to winter, which eventually cycles again into renewal during another Satya Yuga, or cosmic springtime upon the Earth.

Each of these yugas is gradually weathered by the corroding influence of the all-pervading element of Time; and in doing so, facilities are provided for the increasingly degenerate appetites of the materially conditioned living entities on their journey towards material exhaustion over countless lifetimes, which eventually inspires their gradual awakening towards spiritual inquiry.

The qualities associated with the Kali Yuga are described in detail in the twelfth canto of the Bhāgavata Purāṇa, wherein religiosity, truthfulness, cleanliness, tolerance, mercy, duration of life, physical strength and memory will all gradually diminish.

The role of wealth alone as an indication of one’s social standing, the misapplication of justice on the basis of individual power and influence, the erosion of marital and familial ties, deception in business as a means of success, the appreciation of religiosity by external dress and the overt sexualisation of masculine and feminine ideals, are also described.

As the Kali Yuga advances, one who can simply manage the maintenance of one’s own family will be considered to be an expert, and despotic rulers from the lower classes will rise to political power and will plunder the citizens of their property, wealth and even their wives, leading many to flee to the mountains and forests.

Harassed by excessive taxation, famine, drought and diseases, the maximum duration of life will be gradually reduced to fifty years, while the bodies of all men will be greatly reduced in size like that of pygmies, as will vegetation and animals, which will become dwarfish.

Although the collective burden of karma accrued over eons by those who are present on the Earth for the duration of the Kali Yuga certainly plays a role in bringing about these miserable conditions, the arrival of this cosmic winter season is nonetheless inevitable and unavoidable, being ordained by providence.

For as twentieth century philosopher Sāvitrī Devī has noted in her own writings on the Kali Yuga, this cycle depends “not upon man’s conscious effort, but upon iron laws, inherent to the very nature of visible and tangible manifestation” – all of which ultimately serves a higher purpose in the grand design of the cosmos.

SCALES OF COSMIC TIME

The Vedic paradigm speaks of many such ‘iron laws’ of nature, not least of which is the law of karma, which every layman of the modern day is familiar with. But other laws, such as that of the Vedic calculation of Time, are no less fascinating, though they be less well known.

Indeed, the Bhāgavata Purāṇa devotes an entire chapter in the third canto, to the calculation of time from the movement of the atomic particle, which after a specific number of combinations, forms one trasareṇu particle, which is visible to the eye and from which Vedic scholars calculate the atomic movement into units of minute measurement, which can then be further extrapolated out to calculate vast quantities of time.

The ancient Āryans used these measurements not only in micro matters of daily timekeeping, or for charting the passage of months and years in combination with astronomical observations, but also dealt routinely with cosmic measurements of time on a macro level, which defy the expectations of modern academia.

Indeed, the scales of time given by Vedic texts differ from those which are widely accepted by academics, who have drastically reduced the calculation of the yuga cycles in order to fit them into the timelines of either an Abrahamic ‘young Earth’ history not exceeding 6,000 years, or that of a Darwinian evolutionary model, as is more acceptable today.

In neither case – either that of early Indologists who harboured Judeo-Christian biases, or that of today’s generation of evolutionary anthropologists, is the Vedic concept of advanced human antiquity taken very seriously by mundane academia.

Rather, the discipline of Indology has frequently modelled India’s historical development on a parallel with the narratives surrounding Mediterranean history, with modern civilization emerging out of the bronze age and progressing on an upward trajectory ever since.

In addition to dealing with matters of advanced human antiquity, the Vedic texts also provide two parallel measurements of time, based on the concept that in the higher heavenly realm, time passes at a different pace than that of the middle earthly realm.

So for every year of the Devas (*Demigods or Gods) in heaven, some 360 years simultaneously pass here on Earth amongst the men and beasts.

And in regard to this, modern academia has in many cases, while endeavouring to reduce Vedic time scales into something more familiar and relatable, opted to interpret the years of the Devas provided in the Vedic sources as if they were indications of earthly years.

Meanwhile, others such as Rudolf Steiner who have included the concept of the Kali Yuga as part of an amalgamation of ideas derived from different cultural sources, have often provided their own measurements, which differ altogether.

The scales of duration of the cosmic seasons from original Vedic sources are as follows:

	Years of the Devas:	Earth Years:
Satya Yuga:	4,800	1,728,000
Tretā Yuga:	3,600	1,296,000
Dvāpara Yuga:	2,400	864,000
Kali Yuga:	1,200	432,000
Total Aggregate:	12,000	4,320,000

A complete yuga cycle is known as a mahā-yuga, and further considerations of a transitional period between each of these yugas known as a yuga-sandhyā, may also be included in some calculations.

The completion of one thousand of these yuga cycles constitutes one day of Brahmā, who is the first-born of all beings in each universe and who plays a secondary role in matters of creation. This cosmic architect is situated on Brahmaloka, above the three realms (heavenly, earthly and plutonic).

For every day of Brahmā, there is also a night of equal duration, in which partial dissolution occurs during the flooding of the three realms, which become in need of renewal each morning of Brahmā’s lifetime of one hundred years by his own estimation.

Meanwhile, a separate cycle of manvantaras is simultaneously occurring, with each manvantara consisting of approximately seventy-one yuga cycles. There are fourteen such manvantaras in every day of Brahmā, which pertain to the reign of different Manus.

The role of Manu is as the father and progenitor of mankind, and he is considered to be the archetypal human being who lays down the moral codes of the Manu Saṁhitā or laws of men. Each Manu’s lifetime is approximately 852,000 years of the Devas, or 306,720,000 years on Earth.

Interestingly, the Sanskrit word for mankind – mānuṣya, is derived from Manu, as is the English word for man or mankind. Sanskrit is after all, closely related to all Indo-European languages and many such examples of linguistic similarities exist between these languages.

Each manvantara has its own nuances and influences, and various celestial posts, such as that of Indra, the King of Heaven, whose equivalent is found in the rain-giving Sky Father Deities of Jupiter or Zeus, are also changed during each of these periods.

At the end of Brahmā’s lifetime of one hundred cosmic years, a total dissolution occurs and the countless universes which are considered to be as numerous as mustard seeds in a barrel, are absorbed into the pores of the body of Mahā Viṣṇu, who out of indifference to the material creation, is situated perpetually in yoganidrā, or divine sleep.

THE KALI PURUṢA

As with other cultures which are often disparagingly referred to as being ‘Pagan’ by the followers of the Abrahamic sects, the ancient Āryans interpreted the various aspects of nature as having personified forms and qualities.

And it wasn’t only the Devas in heaven, presiding over the elemental forces of nature, who pervaded the Āryan consciousness, nor simply the Avatāras of Viṣṇu which descend from beyond the material realm, but other supernatural beings as well, including the lesser hosts of yakṣas, angelic gandharvas, nymph-like apsaras – and even those of the personified yugas.

According to the Kalki Purāṇa, the personified Satya Yuga for instance, appears in the form of an effulgent and lotus-eyed mendicant with a bodily complexion like that of molten gold. Carrying a walking staff and with matted hair on his head, he appears to be always joyful and is engaged in giving shelter to dharmic principles.

Simply by contact with the breezes that touch the body of the personification of the Satya Yuga, one is purified, as is the entire Earth during the time of renewal at the beginning of each mahā-yuga.

In contrast to this, the Kali Puruṣa who presides over the Kali Yuga is described in the Kalki Purāṇa as having a complexion like black ointment that has been mixed with oil, with a frightening face, a greedy tongue and an abdomen like that of a crow. A foul smell emanates from his body and he is always seen to be holding his genitals in his left hand.

This personification of the Kali Yuga is not the same as Mā Kāli, who is the ferocious form of Mother Nature or Śakti and is the consort of Śiva, although this difference is frequently misunderstood due to the similarity of their names and their frightening appearances.

Although the yuga cycles operate in relation to the middle or Earth realm, the effects of the Kali Yuga are also indirectly perceived by the Devas in heaven, due to the cessation of ritualistic performances and religious offerings by man, which they are entitled to derive a proportional share of amongst themselves.

During the Kali Yuga, the Devas seldom visit the Earth, as they are often accustomed to doing frequently in other ages, not unlike the times spoken of in the Homeric epics of the ancient Greeks, when heroes like Odysseus were in regular communion with the Gods.

THE FOUR PILLARS OF DHARMA

As the sages of Naimiṣāraṇya sat around the sacrificial fire, Sūta Gosvāmī began narrating the history of the heir to the Pāṇḍava’s throne, who would later be cursed by a brāhmaṇa boy under the influence of the dawning age of the Kali Yuga to die untimely, thus leading to the scenario in which the wisdom of the Bhāgavata Purāṇa would be spoken during the king’s final days, surrounded by sages on the banks of the river Gaṅgā.

Parīkṣit Mahārāja, having become the disciple of Kṛpācārya, ruled the kingdom under the guidance of learned brāhmaṇas. And even the Devas were said to have attended sacrifices performed by the king, being visible at those times even to the common man.

One day, while out touring the kingdom which was as vast as the known world in order to suppress the symptoms of the Kali Yuga and exact tributes from the provincial kingdoms, Parīkṣit Mahārāja encountered the Kali Puruṣa, who had dressed himself in the royal garb of a king and was beating a cow and a bull – an animal considered to be sacred in Āryan civilization, with a club.

Accompanied by a military escort comprised of charioteers, cavalry, elephants and infantry soldiers, Parīkṣit Mahārāja immediately seized the Kali Puruṣa, who had given the kṣatriya-spirited king the opportunity to fight.

The bull, who was as white as a white lotus, who was barely standing on one leg, the others having already been mangled, and who was urinating in distress, was the personification of dharma, while the cow who accompanied him was the personification of Mother Earth, who was weeping as the Kali Puruṣa beat her legs in the same way that he had beaten the bull.

Addressing Dharma the bull, Parīkṣit Mahārāja noted the symbolism of his mangled legs, each of which represented a pillar of dharma, upon all four of which the bull had stood in the Satya Yuga, and which had been reduced one by one with the passing of each successive age.

The four pillars of dharma are:

Tapas – Austerity
Śauca – Cleanliness
Dayā – Mercy
Satya – Truth

The last remaining pillar of dharma in the Kali Yuga is said to be that of truth, and even that principle reduces day by day and is under constant assault by the influence of the Kali Puruṣa. Truth is attacked last, because even the practice of cheating must make reference to that which is true in order to pass off that which is counterfeit as being authentic.

It is for this reason also, that truth still remains a powerful weapon in this age and it is for this very reason that the agents of Kali in our own time are hostile to truth and to those who bravely uphold this last remaining pillar of dharma.

Taking up his sword, Parīkṣit Mahārāja prepared to kill the Kali Puruṣa, who quickly threw off the royal garb and bowed pitifully to the king, begging for clemency. Accepting the enemy’s surrender, Parīkṣit Mahārāja spared his life, but banished him from his kingdom.

The Kali Puruṣa however, while trembling before the king, told him that because his kingdom spanned the entire known world, he could not enter into exile, even though he was willing to do so under the king’s order. He then begged for some concession – a place for his residence within the kingdom.

In response to this, Parīkṣit Mahārāja gave permission for the Kali Puruṣa to reside wherever the four primary vices are to be found, which notably correspond to the four dharmic principles of Āryan culture as follows:

Intoxication weakens austerity, prostitution pollutes the principle of cleanliness – both of the body and of the mind, the unnecessary slaughter of animals destroys mercy, and gambling compromises truthfulness.

Due to the rigid upkeep of dharma in the kingdom however, hardly a place could be found where these activities were occurring, and so the Kali Puruṣa begged for one more concession – a practical solution for his habitation.

And so Parīkṣit Mahārāja gave his permission for the Kali Puruṣa to reside wherever there is hoarding of gold, because in such places, the other vices naturally follow by way of course.

And so it is that the student of ancient history and mythology casually stumbles upon the etiological origins of the disproportionate influence which the financial powers have enjoyed at the expense of the Goyim for many, many centuries.

THE HOARDERS OF GOLD

By learning of the source of empowerment via the Kali Puruṣa upon those people who are accustomed to the hoarding and manipulation of gold, we can understand the nuances of why it is that these people are so often accustomed to delight in depravities and to promote degeneracy and cultural distortion amongst the Gentiles, in addition to advancing their political ambitions for the Zionist state of Israel and a one-world dystopian government.

From the perspective of the sages of Naimiṣāraṇya, who were taught these insights by Sūta Gosvāmī many millennia ago, to learn that the merchants of the Sassoon Family, who are regarded as having been the Rothschilds of the East, profited from transforming a once glorious civilisation like that of China into a nation of opium addicts, which they enforced at the barrel of a British musket, would likely come as no surprise.

Likewise, it should come as no surprise to the student of the Bhāgavata Purāṇa that the enslavement, sadistic torture and genocide of millions which was enacted by the Jewish Bolsheviks during the communisation of Eastern Europe in the early twentieth century, was bankrolled by the speculative funds of Wall Street.

It should also come as no surprise to those with knowledge, that the opponents to the establishment of the Federal Reserve in the United States were murdered by the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, along with countless other lives, or that in 1933 the Jewish-controlled American government would confiscate all privately-owned gold before devaluing the dollar the following year.

A.C. Bhaktivedānta Svāmī, whose English translation and commentary on the Bhāgavata Purāṇa is the most widely published in the world, has noted that:

“So the personality of Kali became gold-standardized. According to Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, gold encourages falsity, intoxication, prostitution, envy and enmity. Even a gold-standard exchange and currency is bad. Gold-standard currency is based on falsehood because the currency is not on a par with the reserved gold. The basic principle is falsity because currency notes are issued in value beyond that of the actual reserved gold. This artificial inflation of currency by the authorities encourages prostitution of the state economy.”

With this in mind, it ought not to surprise us to discover that in our own time, these same financial powers are now weaponising the power of illegitimate money in the form of fraudulent fiat currency in order to flatline the economy and to introduce a new system of central bank digital currencies tied to digital ID, one’s carbon footprint and a social credit score, all on the back of hyperinflation, as a tool of absolute compliance and political control.

Indeed, with these insights gleaned from the Bhāgavata Purāṇa, it should not at all surprise us that the so-called ‘bankers’ and those who are accustomed to the hoarding and manipulation of gold, have become the villains of our time, and that all other vices have followed them for centuries like a bad smell.

THE KALKI AVATĀRA

Despite the prevailing climate of the Kali Yuga and its inevitable deterioration, there are those amongst us who are determined to keep the flame of dharma burning. For, as Sāvitrī Devī wrote on the subject of the Kali Yuga in the last century:

“Exiles of the Golden Age in our Age of Gloom, the men “above Time” either live entirely within their own inner world, or else live and act in this one also, but as though it were still in its Golden Age. They either renounce this world or ignore it – or, better, forget it, as a man forgets the scars of sin and sickness upon a once beautiful face, which he still loves, in spite of all. They see the everlasting and unchangeable behind the downward rush of the stream of time; the Thing that is, behind the thing that seems. Even when they live in the world of forms, colors and sounds as earnestly and intensely as King Akhnaton – that supreme artist – did, still those impressions take on, for them, a meaning entirely different from that which they retain in the consciousness of people submitted to the bondage of Time. Men “above Time” enjoy with detachment, as people who know they will never die. They also suffer with detachment, being constantly aware of their blissful real Self, which is beyond pleasure and pain.

“And the fallen world can never understand them, i.e. know them, any more than they can understand the fall of man, in which they have no part, as others, who share it, can, and do. And yet, untiringly, – like the Sun, far away and omnipresent – they shed their light; that light which is, in our growing gloom, like a glimpse of all the past and future dawns.

“But, as we have said, there are also people with a Golden Age outlook, – fully aware of what a splendid place this world could be, materially and otherwise, – who can, however, neither renounce life “as it is” nor ignore it; people who, in addition to that, are endowed with what the Hindus would call a “Kshattriya” nature: born fighters, for whom difficulties exist only to be overcome, and for whom the impossible has a strange fascination. These are the men “against Time,” – absolutely sincere, selfless idealists, believers in those eternal values that the fallen world had rejected, and ready, in order to reassert them on the material plane, to resort to any means within their reach. As a consequence of the law of Time, those means are necessarily all the more drastic and all the more brutal as every historical Cycle draws nearer to its end. The last Man “against Time” is, in fact, no other than He Whose name, in Sanskrit Tradition, is Kalki, – the last Incarnation of the divine Sustainer of the universe and, at the same time, the Destroyer of the whole world; the Saviour Who will put an end to this present “yuga” in a formidable display of unparalleled violence, in order that a new creation may flourish in the innocence and splendor of a new “Age of Truth.”

The Kalki Avatāra referred to by Sāvitrī Devī is spoken of in detail in the twelfth canto of the Bhāgavata Purāṇa, as well as in the Kalki Purāṇa.

According to these sources, Kalki will be born in the legendary village of Śambhala on the twelfth day during the fortnight of the waxing moon in the month of Vaiśākha as the son of a brāhmaṇa named Viṣṇuyaśā and his wife Sumati, while the martially-spirited brāhmaṇa sage Paraśurāma, who is adept in the wielding of weapons and who once slaughtered the entire kṣatriya warrior class for their transgressions against the brāhmaṇas, will be his teacher.

Although Sāvitrī Devī had been hopeful about the advent of Kalki, the final Avatāra of Viṣṇu in times to come, the Vedic measurement of time indicates that, since approximately five thousand years of the Kali Yuga have already passed since the lifetime of Parīkṣit Mahārāja, another 427,000 Earth years are remaining of this age.

Throughout the duration of the Kali Yuga, several of these men against Time alluded to by Sāvitrī Devī will continue to exist, biding their time and awaiting the arrival of the Kalki Avatāra, to assist in the renewal of dharma.

Two of these men spoken of in both the Bhāgavata Purāṇa and the Kalki Purāṇa are the kings Maru and Devāpi of the Sūrya (sun) and Chandra (moon) dynasties, who have taken refuge in the village of Kalāpa.

And even those ordinary mortals who will have to endure lifespans of a short duration during the progression of the Kali Yuga, are still able to practice the yuga-dharma of the age and derive the same benefit as that accrued by the practice of dharma in previous ages, thus becoming men against Time themselves, despite Time’s external influences.

THE YUGA-DHARMA

In the Satya Yuga, mystic yogīs are able to take advantage of long lifespans and superior physical and mental endurance in order to master the yuga-dharma of meditation over the course of thousands of years of hermitic life in the Himālayas and other sanctified places.

In the Tretā Yuga, with the decline of these abilities, great yajñas or sacrifices become the yuga-dharma and are sponsored by the wealth of kings and are conducted by perfectly pure brāhmaṇas who wield brahmatejas or mystic power, and who are adept in the mastery of sound vibrations and the flawless recitation of hymns.

With the decline in the wealth of kings and the potency of the brāhmaṇical order, elaborate temple worship of Deities becomes the yuga-dharma in the Dvāpara Yuga, while in the Kali Yuga, the yuga-dharma is the chanting of the Mahā-mantra.

According to the twelfth canto of the Bhāgavata Purāṇa, “whatever result was obtained in Satya Yuga by meditation of Viṣṇu, in Tretā Yuga by performance of sacrifices, and in Dvāpara Yuga by worship of the Deity, is obtained in Kali Yuga simply by chanting the names of Hari.”

In this age, genuine yogīs are rarely found and what is passed off as yoga or meditation in the modern day by those wearing Lululemon yoga pants is farcical in comparison to the mystics of the Satya Yuga.

Similarly, ritualistic sacrifices which still form an important part of Hindu customs in the modern day, are displays of poverty in comparison to those conducted in the Tretā Yuga under the patronage of noble kings, which even the Devas themselves would often attend.

And as the archaeological record demonstrates, the remnants of temples from ancient times, many of which were constructed either during the Dvāpara Yuga, or the very early transitional portion of the Kali Yuga, far exceed in ambition and architecture, the houses of worship of various faiths which exist in modern times.

So while residual concepts of these previous systems of dharma still exist in some form, the practitioner of dharma in the present day concerns himself with perfecting the chanting of mantras, which are especially empowered in the Kali Yuga for the benefit of those with a short life span, reduced stamina of body and mind, and little wealth.

This yuga-dharma of the Kali Yuga was first popularised by Śrī Chaitanya’s movement of the sixteenth century, which emphasised the practice of kīrtana and did away with the rigid considerations of Brāhmaṇism by birth alone as a prerequisite for spiritual status in society.

Originally flourishing in West Bengal, that same saṅkīrtana movement later diverged into various branches of the Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava tradition, which can still be found both in India and other parts of the world today.

Sāvitrī Devī, who first travelled to India as a pilgrim in the 1930’s and who would later engage in espionage activities against the British Raj during the war, is cited as having spent time with the Gauḍīya Maṭha, which was the most active branch of the saṅkīrtana movement at the time, on several occasions in 1935.

Sāvitrī Devī would later describe India as being “the last stronghold of living Āryan paganism” but also expressed concerns about the degrading influences of the Kali Yuga which were wearing down on India’s cultural and spiritual heritage, asking “how long is India going to last?”

Despite the inevitable advances and intrusions of the Kali Yuga however, those men and women who stand against the degrading influence of the Time factor and who are exiles of the Golden Age, still uphold the spirit of dharma in their own lives and have little to do with the devilish delights of the Kali Yuga.

After all, the word Āryan is derived from the Sanskrit verbal root ‘ṛ’, which means ‘to go ahead’ or to ‘progress’. Unlike the modern use of the word ‘progress’, which often indicates a pitch toward the left-hand-path of cultural inversion, the Vedic concept of progress indicates that one is moving forward spiritually, from whichever station of life one finds oneself – whether that be as a family-man, a renunciant, a scholar, a merchant or any other variety of legitimate and civilised social engagement.

As Sāvitrī Devī noted:

“There are no activities in “modern” life which are not futile, save perhaps those that aim at satisfying one’s body’s hunger: growing rice; growing wheat; gathering chestnuts from the woods or potatoes from one’s garden. And the one and only sensible policy can but be to let things take their course and to await the coming Destroyer, destined to clear the ground for the building of a new “Age of Truth”: the One Whom the Hindus name Kalki and hail as the tenth and last incarnation of Vishnu; the Destroyer Whose advent is the condition of the preservation of Life, according to Life’s everlasting laws.”

In this way, even in the midst of the chaos of the Kali Yuga, the modern-day Āryan who strives for self-sufficiency and who lives according to higher principles, while cutting down the symptoms of the age wherever needed, is able to live in the world, while forging bulwarks of resistance to Kali’s degenerate hordes.

* _{The Devas are sometimes translated as ‘Demigods’ and sometimes as ‘Gods’. While most people are familiar with monotheistic and polytheistic traditions, the Vedic version of theology is henotheistic in nature, in which both a Supreme Being existing beyond the material world, as well as lesser celestial Deities in charge of various aspects of material nature exist and are worshipped by different sub-sects, according to the desire and spiritual or material ambitions of the individual. Many Pagan traditions focus solely on the pantheon of heavenly beings, while Abrahamic sects like Christianity or Islam often ignore these angelic beings altogether. So sometimes the Devas are translated as being ‘Gods’, while sometimes they are translated as being ‘Demigods’ in order to differentiate them from the Supreme Being and His various Avatāras. In Greek and Roman mythology, we often find that the word ‘Demigod’ refers to heroes like Hercules who were born from mortal women, but who had a divine father – often Zeus. In Vedic mythology, heroes such as the five Pāṇḍava brothers were also born of mortal mothers in union with various Devas, but it is uncommon to refer to these heroes as being Demigods, but rather as extraordinarily powerful men.}

Clown World And Where It’s Headed

The Clown World Concept

‘Clown World’ is a term used to describe the idea that ordinary life has become like a twisted circus where nothing is as it should be. The term is used everyday on any Internet forum devoted to cyberculture, in particular on imageboards such as 4chan. Clown World not only describes the end result of the Black Iron Prison, it heralds the overcoming of that same prison.

The term ‘Clown World’ is a development from the concept of ‘Bizarro World’, which is a fictional planet appearing in the DC Comics Universe. Thanks to the success of these comics, the term ‘Bizarro World’ entered popular culture as a term describing a world where everything was inverted, or the opposite of how it ought to be.

In the digital age, Bizarro World has transformed into Clown World. Like Bizarro World, Clown World is where everything is the opposite of Normal World. But, unlike Bizarro World, Clown World refers to the environment we find ourselves in here and now, and not some distant, fictional planet. The term is used by people who feel that something is deeply wrong with today’s society.

In Clown World, the mainstream media confuses instead of informs. Law enforcement agencies harass instead of protect. Spiritual authorities no longer believe in anything beyond the material. The University system no longer knows truth from political expedience. Medical authorities seek profit before health. Government agencies, instead of defending our interests, corral us like cattle.

In the digital age, people are no longer astonished by strangeness. Novelty, instead of alleviating boredom, merely adds to the confusion of overstimulation. So today, instead of life seeming bizarre like it did 50 years ago, it seems like a demented clown show.

Although this concept sounds dark, the point of it is not to dwell on that darkness. The underlying idea of Clown World is that the current difficulties of life in the West can be overcome by laughter. This is why my book on the subject, Clown World Chronicles, is written as a satire (if a grim one).

The green cartoon frog on the front cover of Clown World Chronicles is named Honkler. This character can be found any time something truly absurd is happening. The horns in both of his hands provide the musical backdrop to Clown World: an obnoxious honking, like something from a cheap carnival show. The mockery of Honkler calls us to see the humour in Clown World, instead of falling into despair.

Although some contend that the Clown World concept is inherently a right-wing idea, particularly associated with the alternative right, this is not accurate. It’s true that the counter-culture of 2026 is primarily right-wing, unlike the counter-culture of 1972, which was primarily left-wing. But the humorous element of today’s counter-culture comes from the alternative centre.

The alternative centre rejects the Establishment, but they also reject the alternative left and the alternative right, who they consider dangerous extremists. In the eyes of the alternative centre, the alternative left and alternative right are almost as responsible for Clown World as their opposite numbers in the Establishment.

Clown World is all around us today. It can be found any time someone says “That’s ridiculous!” in response to a news report that sounds too absurd to be true – but is.

Honk Honk!

The Causes Of Clown World

Clown World is the result of two principal forces.

The first is a natural historical decay process. This is often summarised in cyberspace as the “Hard times lead to strong men, strong men lead to good times, good times lead to weak men, weak men lead to hard times” cycle.

First outlined in Plato’s Republic, this process describes how the initial state of Nature was tamed by determined pioneers, who created great wealth. The comfort provided by this wealth led to people becoming soft, and this softness led to bad decisions which eventually recreated the poverty of the original state of Nature.

In the modern timeline, the economic golden decades following World War II led to greater wealth than at any other time in history. Never before did people have access to such a wide range of material comforts and pleasures. But this led to a uniquely entitled and infantilised population.

At this point in the decay cycle, society places its worst members in charge.

Right now, the West is in the “weak men lead to hard times” part of the cycle. The people captaining the Western Ship of State have never known struggle. This is why they are preoccupied with trivial issues, and it’s why they are incapable of standing up for the truth.

The second major force behind Clown World is deliberate agitation and destruction for the sake of control. This agitation and destruction is wrought by globalist interests known collectively as the Globohomo Gayplex, or Globohomo for short. Globohomo is the sadistic force that controls today’s mainstream media and culture.

These controllers are themselves divided into two major groups, who operate in alliance against the rest of us.

The first, and most powerful of these, are the neoliberals. Neoliberalism is the prevailing economic paradigm of the Western World, and has been ever since Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher pushed it on us in the 1980s. According to neoliberalism, borders are an impediment to economic growth, and therefore the West needs to import as much cheap labour as possible.

Neoliberals are the same enemy that the human race has faced since that enemy invented usury in Babylon – silver magicians. Their obsession with money has led them to put immediate, material concerns above long-term, spiritual ones. The end result is a tawdry, soulless consumerism that leaves people in despair.

The second major group of people responsible for Clown World are the Marxists. These are the same pseudo-revolutionaries that destroyed Russia, China, Cambodia and dozens of other places, and who wish to radically transform the West along similar lines.

In Clown World, these Marxists aim to cause as much chaos as possible. Their belief is that society must be destroyed so that a new one can be built on revolutionary principles.

Unlike the old Marxists, who were obsessed with the question of class, the new Marxists care only about race. The vanguard of this new Marxism are the Brown Communists. These people push the same resentment-fuelled hate narrative as the regular Communists, only they hate white people instead of the bourgeoisie, and they claim to speak for brown people instead of the proletariat.

How They Push Clown World On Us

Clown World is pushed onto us by both the neoliberal and the Marxist wings of Globohomo, working in concert. Their main strategy is to normalise low-frequency behaviours, emotions and attitudes. They achieve this by controlling the information we receive, and feeding it to us in such a way that it warps our perceptions of reality.

The neoliberals can achieve this perception control through their control of the apparatus of propaganda, i.e. the mainstream media. The vast majority of mainstream media concerns are ultimately owned by international banking and finance interests such as BlackRock and Vanguard, and these interests instruct the media to only run stories that serve the globalist agenda.

By showcasing debates between two apparently opposing sides, the mainstream media can create the impression of lively political discourse. But, inevitably, the two sides showcased will both be loyal to the same set of globalists behind the scenes, and will not criticise them ever.

The most typical way Globohomo creates the illusion of genuine political exchange is by setting up debates between neoliberals and Marxists, both globalists. The ensuing debates over trivial issues create the perception that anything is up for discussion and questioning, except globalism itself. Anyone arguing for the well-being of their own people in the face of globalist interests is never given a platform.

By not platforming certain ideas, the masses come to think that those ideas don’t exist, or that they have very little popular support. Aldous Huxley once observed that “By simply not mentioning certain subjects… totalitarian propagandists have influenced opinion much more effectively than they could have by the most eloquent denunciations.” This is just as true of neoliberal totalitarians as of Nazis or Communists.

Control of the media narrative is also used to stifle dissent by destroying the reputations of any wrongthinker who can find a platform. The globalists achieve this in two major ways: either they smear their enemies as insane, or they smear them as evil. In practice, the method chosen depends on the competency of the target: if incompetent then insane, if competent then evil.

This smearing is then used to manipulate our fear of social exclusion. The television tells us that, if we agree with the people smeared as insane or evil, then we will be targeted next.

The Marxists achieve perception control through the influence gained from their successful completion of the Long March Through the Institutions. This was the name given by Marxist activist Rudi Dutschke to the strategy of transforming society by infiltrating all of society’s institutions, and then subverting them to serve Marxist interests.

Thanks to their control of the institutions, particularly the educational institutions, the Marxists have been able to normalise all kinds of false and destructive ideas, particularly ideas about how the lowest should be championed and the highest torn down. Modern classrooms are now places of indoctrination and not learning. Any student who questions the dogma is humiliated into silence by the rest of their class.

Neoliberals and Marxists, despite their surface differences, have come together as a globalist anti-spiritual alliance. This is typically seen when a Marxist journalist student writes some propaganda for a mainstream media outfit, and then the neoliberal editor of that outfit approves it for publication because it serves the interests of his globalist paymasters.

The end result is that Clown World is normalised through the mainstream media, making it seem inescapable.

Where Clown World Is Going In 2026

The future of Clown World looks like an extremely unpleasant place. Globohomo is eager to turn up the heat and bring the rest of us further into enslavement. From today’s vantage point, four existing trends are likely to worsen into 2026.

The first trend is physical control. This will be tightened through increasing surveillance.

Advanced facial recognition technologies are now a reality thanks to the greater bandwidth afforded by 5G. This has made it possible to set up a network of cameras that can track multiple details about a person in real time. Not only their movements, but also their emotional and mental state can be detected from cameras connected to algorithms that can recognise signs of distress, anxiety, tiredness, hunger, rage etc.

This data enables the authorities to see precisely who each of us interacts with, and when, and where, and for how long. They can also make a good guess at why we’re interacting with those others. If their algorithms detect that people might be gathering to conspire against them, pre-emptive arrests become a possibility.

The second trend is emotional control. This will be achieved through provoking fear and apathy.

The mainstream media will reach new levels of hysteria next year. We can expect that hype about an impending war with China will reach unprecedented levels. As with the coronavirus hysteria, which also dominated media space, anyone who doesn’t go along with it will be ostracised for not doing their part towards the greater good.

The foremost methods for provoking apathy will be increasing doses of pharmaceutical drugs and increasing levels of climate alarmism, nihilistic attitudes and general despair on the mainstream news shows. These shows will continue to preach the message that not only is the world a terrifying and awful place in which to live, but it will get worse, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

The combination of fear and apathy results in an inability to resist the Clown World ruling class. The thought of resistance is made to seem too daunting, too unrealistic, and our fellow man too unworthy of it.

The third trend is intellectual control. In principle, this has already been achieved long ago. But in 2026, it will intensify.

Globohomo will forbid the discussion of certain ideas by destroying the reputations of anyone who tries. Anti-globalists and nationalists will continue to be demonised as white supremacists and potential terrorist threats. Anyone considered a wrongthinker will be compared to Adolf Hitler, Anders Breivik and Brenton Tarrant.

This tightening of intellectual control will be starkest in the research institutions. As discussed in the previous section, globalists have already infiltrated the university system to the extent that they can expel non-globalists at will. In fact, they can expel anyone for wrongthink at any time, and the definition of wrongthink can change on a daily basis as objectives change.

The globalists will be aided in this by artificial intelligence. Algorithms already exist that can detect content of a particular nature and scrub it from social media. Because the large social media companies are all owned by globalists, they can work in concert to delete unwanted content before it can spread to a wider audience.

The fourth trend is spiritual control. As with intellectual control, globalists have already achieved this long ago and intend to tighten it in 2026.

The controllers of Clown World will increase their spiritual control over the rest of us by continuing to subject us to the Clown World Fork, which is when we are forced to choose between an Adharmic religion or atheism. Anyone following a Dharmic religion is then smeared as insane or evil, and thereby prevented from holding real political power.

The most influential of the Adharmic religions are the Abrahamic cults and their atheistic equivalent: Marxism. All of these religions prioritise the destruction or enslavement of outsiders as a legitimate means of gaining control. The consequence of promoting these religions today, as it has been for centuries, is to divide and conquer by sowing discord and strife. As such, Globohomo happily promotes any and all of them.

Related to this will be the continued resistance of Clown World governments to the legalisation of spiritual sacraments such as cannabis and the psychedelics. Knowing these sacraments to be medicines that liberate people from spiritual slavery, the controllers of Clown World will continue to demonise users of them as insane, and to dismiss the treasures of spiritual insight as worthless.

The net result of all of these trends might not be significantly worse than 2025. If there is war in the South China Sea, or a drastic escalation in Ukraine, however, all four trends will accelerate sharply.

How To Resist Clown World

Resisting the further decay of Clown World comes down to a combination of knowledge and will.

The first thing to understand is that Clown World is a reality. Things are now worse than they have been at any time since World War Two. Even the atmosphere of the World Wars lacked the total despair of Clown World. Today, a sadistic and soulless globalist ruling class terrorises a world of utterly demoralised slave populations. Our situation is truly bad.

The second thing to understand is that Clown World is limited in time. It is not a historical inevitability, and is not the final result of historical change, but merely a phase that all societies decay into – and then rise out of. We are living in Clown World today because of a century of bad decisions made by weak Western leaders. We will rise out of it when we put strong leaders in power – not authoritarians, but those who have seen beyond in a spiritual sense.

The third, and most important, thing to understand is that we are more powerful than them. We know that we are afraid and that Globohomo is powerful, but the fact remains: they can only rule us with our consent. They can use trickery, but this is only effective thanks to our decision to remain ignorant. All Globohomo’s power is given to them, by us. We can take it back.

With the right understanding in place, taking the right actions is only a matter of willpower.

The easiest way to contribute to the truth movement is to organise into groups based on geographical proximity, and to share information within those groups. Something as simple as a Telegram group called ‘Truth Seekers X’ (where X is the name of your town) or ‘Save Us From Y’ (where Y is the name of a politician) is a good start towards waking a large number of people up.

Anyone can start their own media organ and build followers by sharing quality information. Josef Goebbels once wrote that totalitarian propaganda needs complete control of all narratives in order to be effective. It follows, therefore, that one great way to counter totalitarianism is to promote alternative narratives.

It doesn’t matter exactly what those alternative narratives are. The main thing is to question Globohomo when it demands that we live in fear and submission.

Willpower also comes into play when making the right spiritual decisions. On one level, Clown World is the final result of all the times we chose to do harm to others because of selfish reasons. It is therefore a manifestation of our own karmic debt.

Wholesale resistance to Clown World will only be possible with a revival of true spirituality. Such a revival must happen, given the cyclical nature of history, and given that we are currently at a low point in that cycle. It’s only a matter of putting our hearts and minds behind it.

Clown World was foretold a long time ago. Such bad times always occur at the end of great ages, such as our current transition from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius. It is possible that Clown World will become even worse in coming years but, after it, a great Golden Age will begin.

All My Life Interactions With The Police, Rated Out Of 10

I have no criminal record, and have only had limited interactions with the Police. In fact, I have only had five meaningful interactions with the New Zealand Police in my entire life (i.e. not including traffic stops, breathtests etc.). This article summarises all five and gives them a rating out of 10.

Interaction One, 1986

My mother is a diagnosed schizophrenic and has been since before I was born. She was institutionalised in 1986, when I was five. In the weeks leading up to this she had become more and more erratic and unhinged. One day, the Police came up and dragged her away screaming. Two officers held her under one arm each, her legs trailing in the gravel, and chucked her into the back of a wagon. Then they drove away to Ngawhatu mental hospital.

I understand that things were rougher in those days. It was still a tough thing to see as a kid, and did not endear me to the Police. It taught me that the Police are there to enforce the will of the ruling class upon the plebs, and not to negotiate with them. Negotiation is something you do with equals – poor, mentally ill people are just to be smashed.

Rating: 0/10

Interaction Two, 1990

One of my relatives, who lived nearby, was a cannabis grower. For whatever reason, the Police figured this out and came to bust him one day. This wasn’t a close interaction, as I was mostly watching from next door while my relative’s place got turned over and he got led away in handcuffs. But it still coloured my attitude towards the Police.

I didn’t know anything about cannabis then. But I knew that actual crimes were murder, robbery, assault etc., not growing plants. My grandmother expressed a deep sense of injustice at the arrest and subsequent imprisonment, and at the effect that imprisonment had on my relative’s mental health, and these feelings influenced me heavily. That the Police would enforce oppressive laws like cannabis prohibition made me see them as evil.

Rating: 0/10

Interaction Three, Summer 2004/05

At this time I lived in a central Christchurch apartment. At about 2:30a.m. one Saturday morning I heard a smashing noise on the road outside. I looked out the window to see a bunch of youths, maybe 15-16, breaking windows on parked cars with golf clubs.

I called 111, explained the situation and a patrol car turned up in about five minutes. They arrested the youths, but not before pointing them towards my apartment so I could confirm on the phone it was them. I never heard from the Police about it, so I presume the youths confessed and got diversion or similar. In all, justice was delivered swiftly and efficiently.

Rating: 9/10

Interaction Four, Summer 2008/09

When I was a barman in Nelson, I got attacked by a drunken thug who I had cut off for being a drunken thug. Upon reporting the assault to the Police, I found that they weren’t particularly interested. Although there was supposedly a crackdown against alcohol violence underway at the time, they only grudgingly took my complaint, trying to convince me along the way that it probably wasn’t worth bothering with.

This surprised me, as the Police routinely arrest and lock up people for victimless drug crimes. On what planet is a violent crime no big deal, in comparison to that? I am grateful that the Police ended up prosecuting the offender and obtaining a conviction. But the way they handled my complaint made me realise that they’re not there to help working-class people, rather just manage us at the lowest possible cost. If that means fobbing an assault victim off then so be it.

Rating: 5/10

Interaction Five, July 2019

About 10.30a.m. one rainy Winter morning I got a knock on my front door. I stubbed out my joint and went outside to find two Police officers. They said they had come as part of Operation Whakahumanu to ask me some questions about my online activity. This was in the wake of me getting attacked in the mainstream media by the Human Rights Commission for selling ‘It’s Okay To Be White’ t-shirts on TradeMe.

Apparently the ‘It’s Okay To Be White’ saga had got me on a list of suspected white supremacists, so after the Christchurch mosque shooting I was suspected to be another mass killer in waiting. As someone with no criminal record and who doesn’t own firearms, I would have thought all violent criminals, at least, would be higher priority. It turns out that wrongthinkers are at the top of the hate list.

I refused to answer any questions and asked for a warrant, which they didn’t have, so I asked them to please leave the property. I had to repeat this a few times before they did.

Getting targeted by the Police in an intimidation and harassment campaign on Government orders is a deeply unpleasant experience. It emphasised to me the extent to which people like me – anyone who tells the truth – are the enemy of the ruling class.

Rating: 0/10

Total rating: 14/50 (2.8/10 average)

Generally my interactions with the New Zealand Police have been poor, despite not being a criminal. Although they sometimes do the right thing, they have clearly demonstrated to me that they are primarily the thugs of the ruling classes, and are happy to destroy lower-class people on spurious grounds if given an order to do so.

Bonus: this isn’t an interaction as such, but the Police appear to monitor everything I post online with the apparent intent to comb through it for wrongthink. Another 0/10.

Why Books Are Now The Best Indicator Of Class

When dating, people look for many different things in a partner. Some look for strength, some look for beauty, some just look for fun. But most people look for a hard-to-describe quality that equates roughly to how much value a person has to society. This quality is generally known as “class” and most people in the dating game are both representing it and trying to find it in an other.

The complication? Traditional class markers have disappeared for several reasons, of which two are foremost.

The first is abundant wealth. 25 years ago, you had to be a baller to own a cellphone, now children have them. Cheap flights mean that international travel is no longer a sign of class either. Even ownership of an expensive car means little, because those are so often rented nowadays. There is so much abundant wealth today that ownership of it is no longer suggestive of class.

The second is general trashiness. Traditional markers of lower class, such as heavy substance use, sexual promiscuity, shabby dress, tattoos, swearing and intellectual ignorance are now often celebrated. Whereas lowering the standard in such a manner used to be a ticket to rapid social isolation, people now appreciate it for creating a relaxed atmosphere.

Because people who are otherwise classy so often present themselves as trash, it’s now necessary to look for inadvertent class indicators. Being slim is a good example: in the Age of Obesity, slimness has become a sign that you have impulse control.

This essay argues that the single best indicator of class today is that a person is into reading books, collects books or has a decent library.

A survey by Date Psychology showed that the number one male hobby from the point of view of women was reading. As much as cooking, foreign language mastery and playing musical instruments were considered attractive by women, reading topped them all. There are several reasons why reading in particular, and books in general, might serve as the most salient class indicators nowadays.

The first point is that a person has to have intelligence to even want to read. Dumb people are incurious about the world. Reading is a sign that a person is ambitious, but in a good way. They’re not content with sitting and stagnating in ignorance. They want to create, to build, to make the most of life. It’s a sign that a person is moving up in the world.

True intelligence is very classy. It’s one thing that money can’t buy. If a person reads because they want to, and not because they have to, it’s a sign of possessing high natural intelligence. Women can’t avoid noticing this quality and wanting their children to inherit it.

A second point is that a person has to have impulse control to sit down and read a book. Trashy, impulsive people need more powerful stimulation: television, alcohol, loud music, scrolling. Readers have to be capable of imposing order upon their own thoughts and desires to sit down and quietly read.

This ability to impose order upon one’s own thoughts is true masculinity. Someone who can put their thoughts in order can put their emotions and bodies in order too. This represents a competence that women often find even more attractive than intelligence.

This ties into a third point, which is that readers have to have their lives under control to have the free time to read. Many people have effectively been reduced to slavery today. They spend almost all of their time on the commute-work-sleep grind. Someone reading a book is effectively signalling possession of the ultimate luxury: free time.

It can also mean that a person is wise when it comes to apportioning their spare time. Many people with the free time to read books spend that time on television or video games instead. Someone who reads has probably thought about what’s actually valuable in life, and how they can get to a place where they have more of it.

The fourth point is that people who read tend to be free mentally. Reading is a sign that a person is not a slave. They want new ideas – perhaps because they’re building their own philosophy of life – rather than mindlessly following someone else’s. That’s very attractive in a system where 95%+ of people are little better than drones.

If you want to look like a classy person today, forget the tailored suit or the sports car – build a library.
