Ahh yes,
I see now.
You are obviously oppressed.
Enjoy.

A forum to discuss all things Occult in a safe, open-source environment!
https://occultforum.org/
I'll address this first.So not only are you wasting your time, your wasting our time, you're wasting serverspace and more importantly; As a moderator, you are making the whole fucking forum look bad.
This is a problematic statement.When I look at history I dont see the system as cancerous, I see the opposite. It's this anti-social shit thats cancerous. Blame your ancestors for not providing you a better situation to start with, not the system.
Sounds a bit conspiracy-ish to me magari, no?Remember, the enemy tries to divide us, not unite us.
A little deterministic too, perhaps.Sorry I dont believe we're all slaves to the illuminati.
People enslave themselves.
Onwards:They tend to treat their women and homosexuals with far more respect than we do too.
Who is this 'we' you are referring to?You are obviously a victim and will lean on the support the system has provided you since birth. You know we didn't have to provide you with an education. Id say your privileged to be able to read and write.

"Believe nothing they tell you, test everything for yourself". That is my life's motto.cyberdemon wrote: I should tell you that you won't find concrete evidence anywhere. Every outlet is controlled and everyone is pushing their own agenda. If you're open minded, and you find an idea, you ought to do the research yourself. That doesn't mean you shouldn't look at things that are presented to you since they do offer perspective, counter perspective, alternative perspective and so on. How you look and how you react is key. You test things? Good. That's far better than seeing something and immediately disagreeing (or agreeing) with it.
That's why staff are present here now.If we can all just stay polite and not take things as personal attacks I think we have a very interesting debate here that goes beyond flat earth and aliens.
If I must choose a target I would say its conspiracy theorists in general. Does cyberdemon identify herself as a conspiracy theorist?Nahemah wrote:This is a problematic statement.When I look at history I dont see the system as cancerous, I see the opposite.

Why?
You've went from attacking theories and posting on point to ad hominem attacks on cyberdemon rather quickly, haven't you?
Yes ma'am. Attempting to find some common language here.Nahemah wrote:Sounds a bit conspiracy-ish to me magari, no?Remember, the enemy tries to divide us, not unite us.
Can you show me where I stated there is no "us and them"? If I must I would define "us" as everyone who is actually contributing to society; doctors, firemen, educators, electricians, plumbers, ect, and "them" being the individuals who would rather see it all burn.Nahemah wrote:A little deterministic too, perhaps.Sorry I dont believe we're all slaves to the illuminati.
People enslave themselves.
And then you hrow in some more contradiction regarding another us and them after denying previously that there is any us and them.
Did I reference her ancestors here? I'm guessing you are referring to above. My point is we all have those who came before us to blame for our starting point, not the Illuminati. We also only have ourselves to blame for failing to improve our lot in life, again, not the Illuminati.Nahemah wrote:Onwards:They tend to treat their women and homosexuals with far more respect than we do too.
And please explain why you referenced cyberdemon's ancestors here?
The system would be the evolution of society and civilization, the largest currently being the organization of the largest regimes at the international level.Nahemah wrote: Change and progress never occurred out of homeostasis nor blind obedience/deference to any system; and which system is it that you are referring to here, Historically speaking, of course ?
By "we" I am referring to the system, or "us" as defined above.Nahemah wrote: Different regimes operated differently in various of the societies and nations that existed in the past, just as is going on now.
This does read as casting aspertions to me, so it may be advantageous if this statement is qualified by you, to remove any doubt.
As you should with this below too:
Who is this 'we' you are referring to?You are obviously a victim and will lean on the support the system has provided you since birth. You know we didn't have to provide you with an education. Id say your privileged to be able to read and write.
And why do you assume cyberdemon is dependent on you for his education?
If you could show me where I'm singling out any race that would be nice. I fail to see racism in anything I'm posting. Doesn't everyone have ancestors?Nahemah wrote: You read as racist and ignorant to me, but I'd rather you define your assertions before I assume any further.
Nahemah wrote: One post on this, only from magari please, too many topics get wrecked by this kind of distraction, so this will be a short, if timely interruption.
Tread warily, magari and do refer to the posting rules first. This is informal at the moment, lets keep it this way please.
True. I'm sure the Keshe Foundation with their plasma reactor are definitely trying at the moment. However not all these "hard investments" are completely good for humanity. Let me point out how Volkswagen simply faked tests to have themselves known as energy efficient. But, sure, they still make nice cars.magari wrote:You know there is a whole lot of people doing real work to fix the inequality in this world and its actually a situation thats been improving since the dawn of time.
People are making hard investments in innovative technologies to improve your lot in life.
Baseless, magari. You have no idea what I do and don't, so I suppose I should inform you that I do plenty. Nothing's keeping me from progress as an individual in the system and my successes are my proof. The system however is keeping humanity as a whole from progress. You need to understand what that means, and fast.You could do some real work too if you wanted, but its so much easier to blame the illuminati and give up isnt it?
Whos really keeping you from progress? The system, the conspiracy theorist, or yourself?
Everyone is so quick to make excuses for their lack of effort, their fear of failure, or their own weakness.
.In this world you get to choose. Victim or Victor?
Do you really think that being able to read and write is a privilege in the current world? No, it's long since it became a human right and an ability. Even in the poorest countries, children learn to read and write even at basic levels simply via exposure to things such as billboards and bank notes. If you think this is something that needs taught, you're wrong, and you underestimate human intelligence a lot. It only requires practice to master, but it doesn't require teaching any more. The world's literacy rate is at an all time high.You are obviously a victim and will lean on the support the system has provided you since birth. You know we didn't have to provide you with an education. Id say your privileged to be able to read and write.
I don't want any nor do I need any. I have plenty of my own already, and I do my part of charity. You, on the other hand, sound like the people who don't think that bigger earners ought to pay bigger taxes. The trickle-down concept has never worked, and never will do more than to make the gap between the rich and the poor bigger. I'm so, so surprised. Where's your open mindedness? I'm sorry, but you've proven yourself to be absolutely closed up. You choose comfort, good for you. You're afraid of losing even a portion of your comforts even if it is to aid humanity's progress. What's the right word for this? Selfishness? Arrogance? Supremacy? All three of those are bad traits. You're no longer qualified to call yourself an occultist, never mind any other title you think you have. You are the very embodiment of the reasons why the European Union is barring refugees from entering Europe to escape a barren land and a war zone - to protect their own riches and call it "sustainability". That is not what humanity should be stooping down to. Does economic stability really take precedence over human lives? Reflect, magari. You're simply backing yourself into a corner for me, and that's rather sad.Excuse me while I enjoy the fruits of my own labor. No, you can't have any. Make a real contribution and get your own.
Like I said, I'm pushing the motion for the sake of debate and I'm enjoying doing so!Cygnus wrote:Well, that answers my query from earlier this week, it seems you are a proponent of this notion.
I don't mind if people want to deny all the advancements of knowledge of the last 500 or so years, but
yes it is easy to debunk it without recourse to NASA (though why people find that necessary is beyond me).
Using decent binocular or even a spotting scope, watch a ship sailing towards the horizon (this works better with the traditional "Tall Ships"). If the world was flat you'd see the vessel get smaller in proportion, but the world is not flat and what you see is that the hull disappears first while the top of the mast (or funnels) is still visible.
Ludicrous? The idea of demons, possessions, astral projection, all these are just as ludicrous from a scientific point of view. Science itself has been corrupted to be a religion on its own, so of course, it will go against other religions. Zeteticism is far nicer these days: the science of making conclusions post-observation, instead of the usual theory making followed by looking for said theory in practice and bending results to meet the wanted conclusion. (Don't start on the theory/hypothesis argument, those are simply vocabulary issues. You know what I mean.)I don't see why the occult path of spiritual development has to be beset with so many ludicrous ideas like flat-earth, ETs, Illuminati etc.
It's every bit as bad as the anti-evolution stance of typical Christians, but at least these guys have finally now albeit begrudgingly, accepted our current cosmological-science view. Check out John Lennox, Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University but an evangelizing Christian who has written, inter alia, "Seven Days that Divide the World" (2011) a supposed 'defence' of the Genesis myth in the context of modern science. I've read it. It's a pretty desperate twisting of definitions to make a square peg fit in a round hole.
Your point flies past me, sadly, since I'm in training to be a medical doctor myself. Again, not all science is part of the lie. This is also why I'm trying to push the notion. I regard Dr Greer to be an occultist as much as I consider myself one. Here, on this forum at least, you cannot be ridiculed because we task ourselves to deal with what's beyond science, with logic, reason, and knowledge of perspectives.I'm a trained scientist and I reject the concept that an occultist cannot have a reasonably typical scientific world view. The fact that this Greer chap is a medical doctor tells me he should stick to practising medicine. I'm a Doctor too (I have a PhD in what a layperson might call biochemistry, or more specifically the effects or reactive free-radical species on cellular components) but if I step beyond the bounds of logic and reason I'd expect to be ridiculed too.
Additionlly, if you reject NASA you're also going to have to reject Copernicus, Gallileo, Newton et al
The Russians don't even believe in satellites. At least I'm putting it forward that only some of them are real. Rockets flying up? An elaborate hoax paid for by the taxpayers for knowledge but instead they are given shows. The ionosphere of the atmosphere is adequate as a reflective medium for all land based communications and that is exactly what we only have.Oh... and to any flat-earth proponents who use mobile phones and sat-navs: just what do you think these communication satellites are revolving around if it isn't a sphere? If you reject this idea then you'll need to come up withacceptable new theories on gravity.
That's the beauty of a conspiracy built upon what's perpetuated as truth. Many of the bricks placed between the top and the bottom are false. Say, if the real bricks are made of clay, these are made of carbon infused styrofoam. Fancy, but fallacious.This is the beauty of science, it's like a brick wall that has each new course of bricks attacked by a bunch of other bricklayers. If they pull it down we bin it, if it stands the test, we build the next layer on top, and so on, ad infinitum. Consequently the only parts that are ever shaky are the latest layer of knowledge currently being tested.

Ah, yes, BBC, one of the top mainstream media outlets. If there's something you oughtn't believe in is CNN, NBC, and your BBC. Everyone getting the same grade? Don't make me laugh. Examinations are designed by a monkey's ability to climb trees, administered all the same to fish, cows and turtles. Still, you're demonstrating what exactly? You've just proven the inequality, and I'm showing you the reason behind the inequality. My point stands, yet you hardly understand anything. I've traveled all over Europe (both the east and the west), Northern America and I've traveled all over Asia. I'm not going to argue with you about what I've done or not, actually. But I'm going to tell you that I feel personally responsible for the current war in Ukraine and the Greek economic collapse via occult reasons that I shan't even get into detailing because at this point I don't think you are even qualified to be discussing anything here. You fail to see that the market force is a manipulated phenomenon and what its side effects are. If I explained to you that literacy occurred because of the need of it as an ability, which was aided by the need to be able to read bank notes and billboards, my point would fly over your head because you believe that the Western hegemony is responsible for all the developments in the world while completely failing to see that this hegemony itself is the cause of the inequality around the world.magari wrote:Yeah, sorry, education is not a right. If it was everyone would be getting the same grade.
You have a right to pursue an education though.
You obviously haven't traveled enough, or at least never bothered venturing into territory controlled by lawless warlords.
When you do, keep the system's phone number handy and try to not start another war between a developed nation and a developing one. Or at least try to keep your head on your shoulders.
Oh.... and how do you explain the advancement of literacy without market forces?
I can't tell either, but here it is anyway.This thread seems to have veered off into silly land. Im not sure why cyberdemon posted it. Is this a joke thread? Is it to discuss ridiculous conspiracy theories? Is cyberdemon simply pushing buttons in an attemot to see how 'open minded' the board is? I honestly cant tell from the tone of these posts.
There most certainly is, if you return to ad hominem, it's an immediate 7 day ban, with no further forewarning issued.How about I tread confidently instead? There is nothing here to fear.
Gotta agree - not sure why there's been such a surge in silly conspiracy stuff lately, but I think we should draw the line at flat earth - that's just trolling/mental illness territory. Hell, I disprove it every time I drive down into the city, look down onto the sea and can't see the peninsula which sits just beyond the horizon.Sypheara wrote:Its not often I find myself agreeing with Magari but...
The Greeks knew this in 600bc from their work calculating earths diameter.. You can see the curvature for yourself if youve ever flown on an airplane, or travelled on a boat and watched the land drop slowly out of sight.
Note you can easily prove this yourself by sending up a rocket with a camera attached to a parachute. My friend did this with a solid rocket motor...
The footage clearly shows earths curvature. I think its quite sad that everyone thinks nasa is a fake after all its done. And all of the probe missions to comets and other worlds. Niel Armstrong was right imho to punch that guy who was insinuating his mission was a hoax. What an excuse of a man to say that to the first man to ever set foot on another planetoid.
Flat earth is so ridiculous it doesnt even really worth trying to disprove it. Its in the same category as the guy who called my friend a alien shapeshifting lizard and belived that because my friend worked for the water company hed spike his drink. Its utter bonkers lunacy.

The legalization of marijuanna is an acknowledgement of the ''war on drugs'' failure. There is no conspiracy here. The fact is, pot remain much easier to buy on the streets for a teenager in places where it is illegal than buying alcool at the liquor store. Besides, studies do not show conclusively that marijuanna is any worst for your health than tobacco or alcool, which are perfectly legal for adult consummers.cyberdemon wrote:You truly believe they legalized marijuana and gay marriage so that people could be happy, don't you? Now why on earth would they give up power over something, a power which they forced in the first place? These things were done to prevent the masses from causing an uproar. To prevent civil war. To prevent their government from falling apart. You can always look at the bright side, but that's like looking at the sun with three layers of sunglasses and saying UV rays aren't real because you have sunscreen.
Except that there are actually quite a few scientists interested in paranormal phenomena. They don't necesserely receive a lot of media coverage but there are still some Parapsychology labs running here and there. The paranormal/occult cannot easily be explained away, that's the difference. It's causes may not be entirely materialistic, if at all. It could be from a 'supernatural' realm of sort as opposed to the purely physical/quantifiable. I've yet to hear about a credible scientist in modern times defending the ''Flat-Earth'' theory though. Probably because there are many ways in which it can be proven wrong. One can't really make a case for it without conspiracy theories..cyberdemon wrote:Ludicrous?
