Holy Koolaid: Prophecy Scams

This highlights the scammy part of prophecy. In modern parlance it is called gaslighting and we are seeing a lot of it. Refer the new miracle of the miraculously disappearing Epstein and his information base.

There are pious believers. There are skilled and talented visionaries. There are researchers that prophetically research holy books for relevance today, usually called eschatology. Posting on the Koolaid of Prophecy does not indicate that we have to refuse all of the esoteric wisdoms. It is a field though that is full off Holy Koolaid. Today, we kick back at the gaslighting that “God gave us this land.”

There is of course people like Anatoly Fomenko who studies timelines. He is a Russian professor of Mathematics at Moscow State University. He is well-known as a topologist and member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He is a painter and illustrator of original artworks inspired by topological objects and structures.

And here it comes: Fomenko is also widely known as a conspiracy theorist. He originated a fictitious and pseudoscientific history called New Chronology, based on works of Russian-Soviet writer Nikolai Alexandrovich Morozov. This is because he disagrees with the current historical timeline that we take from biblical studies. He supports his work mathematically, and uses a number of theoretical constructs as well as basic knowledge of heavenly systems, eg., cosmology where he says that the biblical descriptions of which stars were present in the skies at major events, were not always correct. He also describes overlays, where old stories are overlayed with new stories and does not fit at all with the historical timeline. Overall he defines a 1,000 year timeline ‘error’. Believers reject his work outright. My most favorite part is where he describes that the dark ages were dark, because it was a time of baccanalia and homoerotic pastimes and parties, where the members of the Catholic church at the time orgied themselves into a stupor. His work is not always dry mathematics. I don’t think he is a conspiracy theories, but that he has an alternative theory and the historical timeline glitterati does not like anyone messing with their holy timeline.

This video describes in short the Holy Coolaid prophetic scams we can easily identify.
