An ancient story etched in Chinese folklore since the beginning of civilisation as we know it may finally be decoded following a ‘mindblowing’ discovery in the historic city of Xi’an.
For nearly 2,000 years, the myth of Prince Gao – son to the brutal first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang – has been carried down the generations, carved into legend in the surviving epic saga of historian Sima Qian, himself writing around 85 BCE.
Now, the discovery of a 16-tonne coffin in an expansive burial chamber near the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang and his terracotta warriors could bring the myth to life.
Experts believe the tomb may belong to the forgotten prince, and the treasures inside could help piece together fragments of an ancient story of how one of the world’s first states rose and fell.
Fifty years since the discovery of the famed terracotta warriors, built in their hundreds to protect the Qin strongman in the afterlife, British-Chinese filmmakers have received unprecedented access to explore the ongoing work to excavate the chamber.

Greek Buddha: Pyrrho’s Encounter with Early Buddhism in Central Asia
Pyrrho of Elis went with Alexander the Great to Central Asia and India during the Greek invasion and conquest of the Persian Empire in 334–324 BC. There he met with early Buddhist masters. Greek Buddha shows how their Early Buddhism shaped the philosophy of Pyrrho, the famous founder of Pyrrhonian scepticism in ancient Greece.
Christopher I. Beckwith traces the origins of a major tradition in Western philosophy to Gandhara, a country in Central Asia and northwestern India. He systematically examines the teachings and practices of Pyrrho and of Early Buddhism, including those preserved in testimonies by and about Pyrrho, in the report on Indian philosophy two decades later by the Seleucid ambassador Megasthenes, in the first-person edicts by the Indian king Devanampriya Priyadarsi referring to a popular variety of the Dharma in the early third century BC, and in Taoist echoes of Gautama’s Dharma in Warring States China. Beckwith demonstrates how the teachings of Pyrrho agree closely with those of the Buddha Sakyamuni, “the Scythian Sage.” In the process, he identifies eight distinct philosophical schools in ancient northwestern India and Central Asia, including Early Zoroastrianism, Early Brahmanism, and several forms of Early Buddhism. He then shows the influence that Pyrrho’s brand of scepticism had on the evolution of Western thought, first in Antiquity, and later, during the Enlightenment, on the great philosopher and self-proclaimed Pyrrhonian, David Hume.
Greek Buddha demonstrates that through Pyrrho, Early Buddhist thought had a major impact on Western philosophy.
Recommended reading for The Ethical Skeptic, and others of course. I am just finishing Beckwith’s Empires of the Silk Road, which will transform your understanding of world history if you are not already familiar with his work. Looking forward to reading Greek Buddha next. ABN

American Pravda: The True Origin of the Jews as Khazars, Israelites, or Canaanites
Over the last half-dozen years I’ve regularly cited the work of John Beaty, a respected academic who spent his entire teaching career at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.
During World War II, Prof. Beaty served in Military Intelligence and his responsibilities included producing the daily intelligence briefing reports distributed to the White House and the rest of our top political and military leadership. That position provided him with a unique perspective on the entire course of the conflict.
After the end of the war, he resumed his academic career and in 1951 he published The Iron Curtain Over America, a book harshly critical of our government policies and the overwhelming Jewish influence that he had believed was responsible. He argued that Jewish domination over the publishing industry and the media had grown so powerful that most ordinary Americans never learned many important facts, with their dangerous ignorance maintained by the “Iron Curtain” of Jewish media control described in his title.
This article provides an excellent overview of the origins of the Jews and the main theories on that. ABN
Exothermic Core-Mantle Decoupling – Dzhanibekov Oscillation (ECDO) Hypothesis
The fact that all four of these shafts initially run at odd angles to the celestial north pole, thereafter reattaining the altitude and azimuth discipline in each case, indicates just how important this alignment was to the function of these shafts. They were not air shafts (despite our employment of that name at times herein). The copper fittings in the sealing stone were not for dropping the stone into place, as every stone in the pyramid had to be dropped into place, yet none of them used such labor intensive through-stone-fittings. Nor are the fittings placed at the right center of gravity to afford such a function. These were copper cables, for which we previously had no theory regarding their purpose—that is until now.
This form of evidence is indeed inductive, nor do I believe that the builders constructed two of the shafts while underwater during the counter-alignment. That issue is tactical, non-critical-path, and is resolvable by a number of plausible means. Dismissing the observation as defacto irrelevant—when in fact, the stone depiction is salient—perpetuates the linear induction or Nelsonian Ignorance Trap approach to science that we criticized at the outset of this article. Science is stuck in that trap regarding the Khafre and Khufu pyramids, in desperate need of disruption and paradigm shift. We are introducing a hypothesis, not another ‘perfect answer’ for a new doctrinal set of beliefs. If a priori perfect answers were the standard, the current consensus would have never survived to be considered in the first place.
The star map exists, the stone exists, the shafts exist, the shafts point at celestial north, Khafre is clearly differentially-damaged by ocean water inundation, the Tura casing stones are completely gone from both Khufu and Khafre except for above the water level, the carbonic-acid-dissolved residue of those stones was found at their bases. An official narrative must definitively explain (not simply inductively dismiss or ignore) these critical path elements, or that Narrative is pseudo theory, no matter how many experts revere it.
However, setting aside the debate over the possible date range for the stone star depiction, one fact remains unmistakably clear:
The shaft that was aligned by means of this celestial north star map
today points toward Giza’s southern sky.
Above in an excerpt from an essay by The Ethical Skeptic which claims that two of the pyramids in Egypt were constructed ‘around 9200 to 9600 BCE‘ and were intended to be a warning to future generations that the earth’s angle of rotation has changed abruptly in the past and will do so again, leading to massive flooding across the globe. The essay is well-worth reading. ABN

Biden’s daughter Ashley has finally admitted her diary about ‘showers with dad’ as well as fears she was ‘molested’ is real
Now we know for certain: the diary, like the laptop, is real — and its contents are alarming.
So why isn’t the media all over this?
In 2019, Ashley Biden, the then 37-year-old daughter of President Biden and his wife Jill, wrote in her journal about showering with her father at an inappropriate age as well as her fears that, as a child, she was sexually abused.
Explosive stuff. Not that you would have heard about it, thanks to a near-complete, years-long media blackout.
After undergoing treatment in rehab, Ashley moved to a halfway house in Florida, where she left the diary under a mattress.
The diary, which also contained details of her drug use, was then found in 2020 by a Florida woman who stole it, leaked its contents online, and sold it for $40,000.
All that time, the Biden campaign let the left-wing media, of its own volition, cast aspersions on the diary’s authenticity, or dismiss it as a right-wing plant of dubious veracity, another Russia hoax. Just as with Hunter Biden‘s laptop.
Turns out both are all too real.
The Jewish Plot to Enslave Humanity
With a lie you can go very far, but there is no turning back.
~Jewish proverb
Globalist Jews and their vassals have a nasty habit of smearing their opponents with accusations of “conspiracy theorists,” implying by this slur that conspiracies exist only in the fertile imagination of their critics, who are commonly portrayed as a bunch of lying crazies. However, according to Harvard University biological anthropology professor Richard Wrangham,
The vital innovation that has given rise to a new kind of political system is the plot. The ability to plot [conspire] rather than the ability to make weapons is what balanced the forces between the classical alpha males and the coalition of the weak. The ability to plot is an example of what psychologist Michael Tomasello has termed “shared intentionality,” a type of collaboration in which participants have psychological states in common. This ability has recently been deemed by psychologist Michael Tomasello to be unique to the human species. Humans excel in shared intentionality, which is already present in children as young as one year old, whereas chimpanzees show almost no signs of it. According to Tomasello, the typically human development of shared intentionality explains why humans can do many special things, from using mathematics to building skyscrapers and from playing a symphony to forming governments.[1]
If, as Richard Wrangham believes, selection against reactive aggression in impulsive people who have difficulty with frustration has indeed led to the self-domestication of humans, globalism and its off-shoot Zionism would in this sense be an attempt to domesticate humanity a step further into slavery. This attempt is only made possible by the shared intentionality of the main belligerents. It’s a conspiracy in the purest sense of the word.
Compelling unanswered question on 9/11 — Kevin Ryan
- How could American Airlines Flight 77 have hit the building as it did, considering that the evidence shows the alleged hijacker pilot, Hani Hanjour, was a very poor pilot?[2]
- Why did the aircraft make a 330-degree turn just minutes before hitting the building?
- Why did the aircraft hit the least occupied one-fifth of the building that was the focus of a renovation plan and how was it that the construction in that exact spot just happened to be for the purpose of minimizing the damage from a terrorist explosion?[3]
- Why was the company that performed the renovation work, just for that one-fifth of the building, immediately hired in a no-bid contract to clean up the damage and reconstruct that area of the building? (Note: The same company was also immediately hired to clean up the WTC site within hours of the destruction there.)[4]
- What can explain the damage to the building and the aircraft debris or lack thereof?
- Why were the tapes from the surveillance videos in the area immediately confiscated by the FBI and never released?
9/11 was planetary mind-control, the beginning of the War on Terror which is still ongoing. Like virtually all recent wars and many other major events, it was based on a false pretext. ABN
IRELAND: The End of Ireland’s Great Consensus
Last Monday, May 6th, Irish people gathered in Dublin for a protest against the government’s immigration policy. This was the second Bank Holiday Monday in a row where an event like this happened, but this crowd was the biggest yet, reaching many thousands of people.
There is much that is very impressive about the anti-immigration movement in Ireland. This event was organised with little central leadership and promoted mostly by nationalist social media influencers. The crowd was diverse in age, with plenty of families and older people, a sight not typically seen at anti-immigration protests in Europe.
Another major strength of Ireland’s budding populism is the broad consensus on what Irish nationalism is. Because of Ireland’s unique history, our nationalists aren’t getting bogged down in sentimental attachments to dying empires and their civic conceptions of identity borrowed from imperial administrators. The idea that we would have to win a historical argument to make our case, or should identify with historical nationalist movements in other countries, is obviously ridiculous. Everyone in that crowd knows what an Irish person is, embraces Ireland’s revolutionary nationalist tradition, and is willing to affirm “Ireland belongs to the Irish”.
…It’s becoming a great embarrassment for Ireland’s liberal establishment that a populist movement like this could arise, despite no institutional support, sympathetic media or significant financial support. It’s even more embarrassing for the left, who now cling to increasingly elaborate conspiracy theories about shadowy British forces pulling the strings of the far-right.
The alternative — that the working class is not interested in their message and has built their own “far-right”, because their top concern is replacement immigration — is unthinkable.
Overwhelming consensus among citizens has been and always will be the only real brake on government excess, government foolishness, government civilizational self-destruction. All of the West should follow Ireland. Do not comply, do not give up, do not allow shitheads in power to ruin our civilization. No one wants to have to do this but we have no choice. It’s do or die. ABN
Woods’ conclusion:
All these factors have helped make Ireland’s anti-immigration movement one of the most effective in Europe, even without elected representatives. And here, there is no phony liberal center-right party to gobble up nationalist votes with diversionary rhetoric focused solely on illegal immigration or other side issues. If the strength of Ireland’s liberal establishment for years was its consensus based politics and lack of a right-populist force, that cohesion has backfired.
Those on the outside have been forced to adapt and build their own force from the ground up. It is a force that can no longer be ignored or handwaved away as the fringes of the “far-right”, and as the government shows no signs of yielding on its accelerationist policies of replacement migration, it is a force destined to emerge as the only remaining challenge to the vision of Official Ireland, which would be the final death of the Irish nation.
I hope migrant workers in Ireland from other parts of Europe, particularly the Baltics and Poland, will learn from this and not allow their own nations to be destroyed by replacement migration. ABN
