At the beginning of this series I introduced you to my frustration over the idiocy of Darwinian evolution and the serious implications it has for the general population’s understanding of reality. Then I introduced you to the concept of genetic entropy - genes don’t get better over time, they degrade, in agreement with other physiological realities like the second law of thermodynamics (thus the name genetic entropy). We dug in a little deeper with the next installment on mutations (mutations are bad and not the answer for evolution). Then we took a little break from genetics and went on a fanciful journey to the Universe-O-Matic to try to build our own life-sustaining universe, only to find we couldn’t even get off the starting block due to the incredible fine-tuning of our universe - if we can’t even get the basic environment to make a genome (without intelligent input), how in the universe can any of this be random?
Now the point of this series, A Strong Delusion, is to canvas the multifaceted delusion that we are just machines in a mechanical world that just happened to come about by pure random chance (and there’s absolutely nothing spiritual to see here!). But I am afraid we may be running out of time to rehash these debates in this age of 5th generation warfare for your mind and soul on the natural plane and a desperate campaign for your soul on the spiritual plane. These debates on natural lines are important, most people are unaware of the overwhelming evidence AGAINST the status quo of today’s Godless materialism, but do we have the time and energy to continue to thrash it all out? I’m not sure we do. At least not in the way I’ve been taught at university with tedious detail and copious references.
Now I can easily lay out lots of impressive numbers, that few of us, including me, can even comprehend, that support the impossibility of Darwinian evolution. We can wax lyrical about the Haldane’s dilemma, Muller’s ratchet, cost of selection, or the nature of poly-functional poly-constrained DNA and the impossible complexity of layers of encrypted information in the genome and its irreducible complexity. But will this move you? Will you even read it? And if you do will it just spark intellectual arguments and miss the bigger picture?
Why am I saying this?
There’s a number of reasons. Firstly, yet not primarily, I want to gauge where you are at. Am I preaching to the choir? Or is this information truly new and inspiring and will have some sort of positive action on your behalf? And if it’s new am I going to make your eyes glaze over with academic prattle?
Secondly, and probably primarily, I don’t want to waste your time if there are more expedient things to discuss. And by expedient I mean things that may be more pragmatic, raw, with in-your-face relevance for the moment, actionable and simple (or simply less academically technical).
As I looked further to where we can go with the genetic entropy topic, to refute Darwinian evolution, I’d have to go a few levels deeper into genetics, which I was intent on doing, but a few articles of late have given me pause to think…
One of those pieces was by Mark Bisone in his recent post The Great Unmasking - the sort of article that slaps you in your face then throws a cup of cold water into your already activated startle response. He quotes Catholic Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò in an address to Medical Doctors for Covid Ethics International, pointing out the need to recognize the spiritual battle that gives volition, if not the very essence, of today’s troubles. Here’s the core of it…
I know that two centuries of Enlightenment thought, revolutions, atheistic materialism and anticlerical liberalism have accustomed us to thinking of Faith as a personal matter, or that there is not an objective Truth to which we all must conform. But this is the fruit of a propaedeutic indoctrination, one that happened long before what is happening today, and it would be foolish to believe that the anti-Christian ideology that drove the secret sects and Masonic groups of the eighteenth century had nothing to do with the anti-Christian ideology that today drives people like Klaus Schwab, George Soros, and Bill Gates. The driving principles are the same: rebellion against God, hatred for the Church and humanity, and destructive fury aimed against Creation and especially against man because he is created in the image and likeness of God.
The pawns, Schawb, Soros, Gates, etc., are ultimately cogs in an antichrist movement preparing the way for the great “Man of Peace”, “Prince of this world”, otherwise known as Lucifer or Satan. But thanks to ‘enlightened’ thought and the ‘wisdom’ of the ‘scientifically’ informed modernity, this is silly superstition, right?
Mark asks a question to the enlightened gatekeepers of modern psychology and neuroscience who’s goal is to “produce healthier and happier minds”: How is your model working out so far? I know, as one of those psychology/neuro-informed professionals, that it’s not working out too well at all! Because we keep sidestepping the spiritual aspect of what’s going on.
Was I concerned with Mark’s lack of citations? Did I shun his offerings because he referred to us as ‘cats and kittens’, suggesting some sort of cognitive dysphoric psychopathology? Did I discount his work because he closed with Indiana Jones and how to pick out a nice mug? NO! Quite the opposite. Because people like Mark will throw a cup of cold water in your face and you’ll either appreciate the wake up call or just want to kill the bastard. (It’s a great piece by Mark and I’d encourage you to read it.)
But back to my pause and the whole topic of genetic entropy.
I think, given Mark’s example, it’s going to be more expedient for me to cut to the chase and NOT engage in what will be a technical challenge for most not familiar with the field of genetics. Rather I point those with a keen interest to something like Biological Information: New Perspectives, Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design, or Genetic Entropy, just to name a few great resources.
So where to from here for A Strong Delusion? Well I’d like to hit on topics of mass delusion that have immediate consequences for us - the pointy end of the matter - without getting into the nitty gritty to defend a position (if you like we can do some of that in the comments). You are either going to run with it or not. The war against us is not going to pause for us to weigh up lofty arguments and endless philosophizing as to the existence of the enemy or the truthfulness of his lies.
So the train is still on the track - I’m just self-correcting here - let’s turn back to the main line.

So in the spirit of The Great Unmasking [Mark, so many links to you! I’ll send you details of my crypto wallet for a donation] I’d like to carry the conversation in the direction of a certain Ishtar. She’s an American Idol, powerful, ancient, massively popular, and she want’s you dead (after she’s corrupted you completely). I’m going to introduce you to her more fully in another series, and interview series in fact, but for now let me tease you with this:
Ishtar has been known by many names - Venus, Aphrodite, Astarte, the Queen of Heaven. Like a shape-shifter she has been able to adapt to whatever environment, whatever culture, she finds herself in. Ishtar is a key part of the Strong Delusion. She’s been at it for eons. She is sexual revolution, she is the transgression of boundaries, conventions, and taboos. She takes what is forbidden and works it into mainstream culture, slowly, firstly with a slight shock, then comes familiarity, then tolerance, then acceptance, then celebration, then the new norm.
In Babylon she was the goddess of prostitutes - sex and eroticism was for her worship. Today she animates the sex industry, the porn industry, the mainstream acceptance of sex as a commodity, as a new normal, through every avenue of popular culture you can imagine.
And what is the strong delusion? That there is no moral standard for sexuality, there are no rules to be broken. Look at whatever you desire, express your sexuality however you like, there is no moral code. Even to the degree that pedophilia is not ‘wrong’ it’s just a preference.
In ancient Mesopotamia she declares herself “a woman and a man”, she merges opposites and confuses the sexes. In ancient Sumeria they sung that she could “turn a man into a woman and a woman into a man, to change one into the other”. She is the queen of trans. She is the emasculation and feminization of men. Her priests and ritual performers broke the traditions of gender - the men were feminized, the women masculinized. At her festivals men carried the feminine symbols of hoops while women carried swords, the cross-dressers, transvestites, nonbinary, androgynous, all paraded before her.
The people of Sumer parade before you.
The women adorn their right side with men’s clothing.
The people of Sumer parade before you…
The men adorn their left side with women’s clothing.
It was nothing short of a modern pride parade. And she’s back with a vengeance! Today her pride parades, pride months, and push for every sexual deviance to be celebrated, is nothing but a replay of her heady days in Mesopotamia where she was exalted as the goddess of all goddesses. She’s even kept the same pride month of June as she did thousands of years ago in the ancient Middle East.
But this ancient deity has remained behind a veil in modern times, yet still drawing on the power of the people under her spell. She is in many places of power and influence but it’s difficult to isolate her - you can’t present her as the prime suspect for cultural corruption, because she is a spirit. She uses human agents, they are the ones left holding the condemning weapon, but she is the mastermind behind the crime. There is no ‘scientific evidence’, you can’t ‘follow the science’ (whatever that means), but you can see her if you adopt a historical and spiritual perspective.
She works a strong delusion across cultures that appear to be ‘just’ the outworking of noble ideals expresses as liberty, freedom, justice, tolerance, harmony, equality, and so on. But she is a master deceiver. She is the inversion of those noble ideals. She is slavery, injustice, intolerance, and chaos. She knows the human condition better than any psychologist today and she knows how to use our humanity against us.
There is much more to say about Ishtar, and I will in other posts, along with her associates, Ba’al the master and Molech the destroyer.
Well I’m not sure how we got from genetic entropy to a demon goddess who wants you dead, but it’s all part of the strong delusion. I’ll aim to be more coherently centered on a single topic next time.
I am so stupid I cannot even remember who Mark is in your writing, but I do wish you would give us a bullet list of all the CRAP we have been fed and why in a single sentence or two, it is wrong.
Starting with Darwin's Theory, moving on to what we know now i about human body (muscles have memory, gut affects your brain, etc.) and please include the case for intelligent design, gene degradation, anthropogenic climate change....Honestly, I value very much your input as to WHY everything we think we KNOW is wrong or imperfect. Up to the belief in God or a Creator of the universe...and this awful craving people have to live forever and be gods. ALL of our DELUSIONS need deflating. Many thanks in advance for anything you choose to do.
As part of "the choir," I already agree with you about the theory of evolution. Even so, I was still enjoying your explorations of the topic. (The Universe-O-Matic piece really hit the nail on the head!) Philosophizing has its place - action taken without reflection often has undesirable consequences. So do carry on about evolution if you feel inspired.
That being said, I found your musings on Ishtar very interesting, so I hope you'll continue in that vein too. Thank you!
