Richard W. Burley is a public speaker, seminar leader, and self-esteem consultant with over 41 years of leadership experience in the computer and financial marketing industries. Initially studying law with a focus on international business, he chose not to continue in law and instead joined the Edmonton Police Service. This experience exposed what he later called the “brotherhood of corruption,” shaping his critical perspective on systemic issues. Burley later worked at Syncrude in Northern Alberta and then with the Canadian federal government, aiding the transition to IBM mini-tower 360s, frequently traveling to Texas. There, he audited seminary courses, sparking his passion for biblical languages (Sumerian, Egyptian hieroglyphs, Tetragrammaton) and exposing the “verbal alchemy” of a corrupted legal system. Mentored by Bill Cantrell, Burley entered the personal growth industry, working with figures like Jim Rohn and Zig Ziglar, studying psycholinguistics, NLP, and psycho-cybernetics. Today, he travels North America, teaching how language and confidence shape relationships and careers, using Socratic methods to uncover hidden truths about the legal system's manipulative “word magic.” His mission is to empower people to research and dismantle systemic indoctrination.Tickets to Cornerstone Forum 26': https://www.showpass.com/cornerstone26/Tickets to the Mashspiel:https://www.showpass.com/mashspiel/Silver Gold Bull Links:Website: https://silvergoldbull.ca/Email: SNP@silvergoldbull.comText Grahame: (587) 441-9100Bow Valley Credit UnionBitcoin: www.bowvalleycu.com/en/personal/investing-wealth/bitcoin-gatewayEmail: welcome@BowValleycu.com Prophet River Links:Website: store.prophetriver.com/Email: SNP@prophetriver.comUse the code “SNP” on all ordersGet your voice heard: Text Shaun 587-217-8500

Was Eve the first woman, or was Lilith created before her, only to be erased as a rebellious demon? Join me as we unravel Lilith's story – from Sumerian wind demon and biblical "screech owl" (Isaiah 34:14) to Adam's defiant first wife in folklore. We'll explore her ties to the number 13, cherubim, Ishtar, and the fall in Eden, plus her modern revival in Taylor Swift's “Vigilante Shit,” Beyoncé's “Lemonade,” and Wiccan “Lilithian Witchcraft.” Is she a feminist icon or a cosmic villain? www.stayskeptical.com Watch: https://rumble.com/user/rabbitholepodcast https://www.youtube.com/@Rabbit.holepodcast Wise Wolf Gold: https://www.wolfpack.gold/?ref=jvujkwgs Sources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jcwvgWpPz8GqLxNwpeJM7AHqBJL2O3JWVdE8ggKK7_8/edit?usp=sharing Learn more about your ad choices.

Were the Anunnaki ancient gods… or something far more advanced? In this episode of Conspiracy Files, Zoe Parker unpacks the forbidden story buried in Sumerian tablets — of sky beings who descended to Earth, created mankind, and ruled the earliest civilizations. Were we engineered as a slave species? Is there truth behind the legends of Nibiru, gold mining, and lost knowledge? Step into one of the most mysterious and controversial theories ever recorded.

When we think of World War One, our images of the conflict are largely shaped by those of the Western Front or perhaps Gallipoli. It was a truly global conflict, however, and one less remarked upon campaign was that of an ill-fated Anglo-Indian force dispatched to secure oil supplies in what is, today, southern Iraq.  Poet, playwright and songwriter Jenny Lewis' father fought as part of that force. Her collection Taking Mesopotamia (Carcanet) re-imagines the campaign using her father's diaries. It also takes in more recent wars in the region as well as the story of Gilgamesh, the ancient Sumerian warrior king, to create a vision of a mankind that repeatedly fails to learn the lessons of war. Lewis took time out from the StAnza poetry festival, where she was appearing in March 2014,to talk to us about war, oil, myth, and the gods. Photo by Ben Prestney

Billy Carson takes us deep into the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern science, revealing how manifestation actually works at the cellular level. From his near-death experience in Turkey to building multiple million-dollar companies, Carson shares the precise formula he's used to transform his life: conscious thought × action = manifestation. He explains how trauma stored in your body blocks abundance, why forgiveness is the first step to clearing energetic space, and how NASA-level science proves we're living in a fractal holographic universe where your words and emotions literally reshape reality. This isn't metaphysical theory—it's quantum physics meeting ancient Sumerian tablets, with practical steps you can implement today.Forbidden Knowledge TVWoke Doesn't Mean BrokeFractal Holographic Universe: The Matrix Code Revealed4biddenknowledge Conscious AwardsIn this episode you will:Discover the scientific formula for manifestation that ancient civilizations knew and modern quantum physics confirms—complete with the exact affirmations that rewrite your DNA in 21 days.Break free from ancestral trauma encoded in your epigenetics by understanding how negative patterns pass through generations and the meditation practice that stops the cycle.Transform your relationship with money by getting on its frequency instead of chasing it—the same strategy Carson used to go from homeless on a Miami beach to building multimillion-dollar tech companies.Unlock the power of forgiveness to clear trauma stored in your cells that's blocking your manifestation abilities and keeping you stuck in survival mode.Master the energy exchange that determines your success in every room you enter, from business meetings to intimate relationships, by shifting your emotional frequency in under 60 seconds.For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1835For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Lewis Howes (Solo) – greatness.lnk.to/1822SCPrice Pritchett  – greatness.lnk.to/1821SCDr. Joe Dispenza – greatness.lnk.to/1809SC Get more from Lewis!

We'll look at the origins of the werewolf, look at whether they are actually real, and if so, how one goes about becoming one, and some of the cures believed to release the man from the beast. Of course, it's not always the Wolf-Man… sometimes it's the Wolf-Woman. We'll look at the most fearsome lady werewolves throughout history! I'll tell you about the trials and punishments of those convicted of being werewolves – many probably wish they'd have confessed to being witches instead! Plus, what if I was to tell you that werewolves truly ARE real – and that a small village has been terrorized by them for decades – right up to modern day? There is convincing evidence to back up my claim!

What if we remembered the wisdom buried in the soil? In this second episode of The Great Disfarmament – The Great Disarmament, we go back—before fertilizers, before bullets, before the conquest of land and people. We trace the quiet origins of farming and war, when both were bound by ritual, proximity, and care. We explore ancient practices of composting, communal stewardship, and restraint—methods rooted in renewal, not extraction. We meet a voice from the Sumerian world—Shuruppak—whose 4,000-year-old instructions remind us that farming was once a moral act. And we revisit The Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the earliest ecological warnings in literature. Together, these ancient texts ask: What if agriculture had never become a tool of conquest? This is a story of what we knew before we knew what we'd lose. A mirror held up to the beginnings of disarmament—not in politics, but in the ground itself.

What if the strange lights in the sky aren't just a modern mystery, but the oldest one we know?This is the story of UFOs, not just as flying saucers or Pentagon footage, but as a phenomenon that's haunted human history since the first time we looked up and wondered.From ancient Sumerian tablets and Ezekiel's wheel, to World War II foo fighters, Project Blue Book, modern Navy encounters, and whistleblower testimony in Congress, this documentary ( lol...is that what this is? ) tries to put together centuries of sightings, belief, and official secrecy.Vimanas, chariots of fire, ghost rockets, alien abductions, Tic Tacs, metamaterials, memory metals...it's all touched on here.This isn't about belief. It's about what's been seen, measured, recorded, and sometimes hidden.Whether you think they're disinformation, extraterrestrial, interdimensional, psychological, or spiritual...the mystery is real.

Were the Anunnaki ancient gods… or something far more advanced? In this episode of Conspiracy Files, Zoe Parker unpacks the forbidden story buried in Sumerian tablets — of sky beings who descended to Earth, created mankind, and ruled the earliest civilizations. Were we engineered as a slave species? Is there truth behind the legends of Nibiru, gold mining, and lost knowledge? Step into one of the most mysterious and controversial theories ever recorded.

Podcast link: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/0rxAKr2uJVbThe companion volume to The Earth Chronicles series that reveals the identity of mankind's ancient gods• Explains why these “gods” from Nibiru, the Anunnaki, genetically engineered Homo sapiens, gave Earthlings civilization, and promised to return Zecharia Sitchin's bestselling series The Earth Chronicles provided humanity's side of the story concerning our origins at the hands of the Anunnaki, “those who from heaven to earth came.” In The Lost Book of Enki we now view this saga from the perspective of Lord Enki, an Anunnaki leader revered in antiquity as a god, who tells the story of these extraterrestrials' arrival on Earth from the planet Nibiru.In his previous works Sitchin compiled the complete story of the Anunnaki's impact on human civilization from fragments scattered throughout Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Hittite, Egyptian, Canaanite, and Hebrew sources. Missing from these accounts, however, was the perspective of the Anunnaki themselves. What was life like on their own planet? What motives propelled them to settle on Earth--and what drove them from their new home? Convinced of the existence of a lost book that held the answers to these questions, the author began his search for evidence. Through exhaustive research of primary sources, he has here re-created tales as the memoirs of Enki, the leader of these first “astronauts.” What takes shape is the story of a world of mounting tensions, deep rivalries, and sophisticated scientific knowledge that is only today being confirmed. An epic tale of gods and men unfolds, challenging every assumption we hold about our past and our future.

First Aired May 14, 2023Easy to disbelieve but hard to disprove. There is evidence out there to suggest we don't know as much about this planet as we think we do. How far does our understanding go? First hand encounters dating back to the ancient Sumerian people, name dropping in the bible? Whose to say? But we can definately entertain the idea that bigfoot and Jesus know each other.

In this episode, Stewart Alsop speaks with Edouard Machery, Distinguished Professor at the University of Pittsburgh and Director of the Center for Philosophy of Science, about the deep cultural roots of question-asking and curiosity. From ancient Sumerian tablets to the philosophical legacies of Socrates and Descartes, the conversation spans how different civilizations have valued inquiry, the cross-cultural psychology of AI, and what makes humans unique in our drive to ask “why.” For more, explore Edouard's work at www.edouardmachery.com.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 – 05:00 Origins of question-asking, Sumerian writing, norms in early civilizations, authority and written text05:00 – 10:00 Values in AI across cultures, RLHF, tech culture in the Bay Area vs. broader American values10:00 – 15:00 Cross-cultural AI study: Taiwan vs. USA, privacy and collectivism, urban vs. rural mindset divergence15:00 – 20:00 History of curiosity in the West, from vice to virtue post-15th century, link to awe and skepticism20:00 – 25:00 Magic, alchemy, and experimentation in early science, merging maker and scholarly traditions25:00 – 30:00 Rise of public dissections, philosophy as meta-curiosity, Socratic questioning as foundational30:00 – 35:00 Socrates, Plato, Aristotle—transmission of philosophical curiosity, human uniqueness in questioning35:00 – 40:00 Language, assertion, imagination, play in animals vs. humans, symbolic worlds40:00 – 45:00 Early moderns: Montaigne, Descartes, rejection of Aristotle, rise of foundational science45:00 – 50:00 Confucianism and curiosity, tradition and authority, contrast with India and Buddhist thought50:00 – 55:00 Epistemic virtues project, training curiosity, philosophical education across cultures, spiritual curiosityKey InsightsCuriosity hasn't always been a virtue. In Western history, especially through Christian thought until the 15th century, curiosity was viewed as a vice—something dangerous and prideful—until global exploration and scientific inquiry reframed it as essential to human understanding.Question-asking is culturally embedded. Different societies place varying emphasis on questioning. While Confucian cultures promote curiosity within hierarchical structures, Christian traditions historically linked it with sin—except when directed toward divine matters.Urbanization affects curiosity more than nationality. Machery found that whether someone lives in a city or countryside often shapes their mindset more than their cultural background. Cosmopolitan environments expose individuals to diverse values, prompting greater openness and inquiry.AI ethics reveals cultural alignment. In studying attitudes toward AI in the U.S. and Taiwan, expected contrasts in privacy and collectivism were smaller than anticipated. The urban, global culture in both countries seems to produce surprisingly similar ethical concerns.The scientific method emerged from curiosity. The fusion of the maker tradition (doing) and the scholarly tradition (knowing) in the 13th–14th centuries helped birth experimentation, public dissection, and eventually modern science—all grounded in a spirit of curiosity.Philosophy begins with meta-curiosity. From Socratic questioning to Plato's dialogues and Aristotle's treatises, philosophy has always been about asking questions about questions—making “meta-curiosity” the core of the discipline.Only humans ask why. Machery notes that while animals can make requests, they don't seem to ask questions. Humans alone communicate assertions and engage in symbolic, imaginative, question-driven thought, setting us apart cognitively and culturally.

Ancient civilizations achieved things that still mystify us today - from the precision of the pyramids to the astronomical knowledge of the Mayans. But beyond their architectural and scientific achievements, they possessed sophisticated understanding of consciousness and reality creation that we're only beginning to rediscover. When we examine ancient cultures across the globe - civilizations that had no contact with each other - we find remarkably similar approaches to working with consciousness and intention. The Egyptians had their concept of Heka, the power of authoritative speech. Halfway around the world, Hindu traditions developed yantra science, using sacred geometry to focus consciousness. In Tibet, practitioners refined dream yoga techniques for working with reality through altered states. The ancient Greeks created mystery school initiations that transformed consciousness through symbolic death and rebirth experiences. In the episode we're going to dive deep into six specific ancient approaches that each offer unique perspectives on working with consciousness and intention. We'll explore Egyptian Heka and how the ancients used sound and sacred speech to influence reality. We'll examine Greek Mystery School techniques that used archetypal visualization and symbolic transformation. We'll investigate Tibetan Dream Yoga and how practitioners learned to manifest through dream states. We'll uncover Sumerian mathematical approaches that treated manifestation as a precise science with numerical formulas and geometric patterns. We'll also discover Celtic Ogham practices that worked with tree consciousness and natural energies, and Hindu Yantra science that created sacred geometric patterns as manifestation technologies. Throughout our exploration, we'll understand not just what these ancient practitioners did, but how these methods work on both psychological and energetic levels, and most importantly, how they can enhance your practice today. Each of these traditions developed over hundreds or thousands of years, refined by countless practitioners who discovered what worked and what didn't. They offer us insights into different aspects of consciousness that can complement and amplify the techniques you're already using successfully.

What actually caused the downfall of the great civilizations this Earth has seen? In 1934, social anthropologist J.D. Unwin made a vigorous scientific attempt to answer this question. He studied 86 different cultures, including the Roman, Greek, Sumerian, Arabian, Babylonian and Anglo-Saxon civilizations. He had expected to find that monogamy had no real influence on these cultures. But by the end of his study, Unwin came to a much different conclusion. He found that throughout history in nearly every civilization, sexual license and the decline of monogamy lead to irreversible societal collapse within just three generations. Tune in to hear us break down his findings and explain them through the lens of the yoga wisdom. Highlights: (0:59) Why make decisions in life that are against the trend? Because it's better for you.

Matthew Brown, another UFO whistleblower repeating the same tireless mythos, posted something very cryptic online, suggesting the following: the “White House has long possessed a unique AI capable of accurately predicting a range of future events,” Sam Altman and https://x.com/shellenberger “is responsible for murdering the first sentient ‘artificial' intelligence created in the PUBLIC realm,” and “if you are serious about saving Humanity from itself (and the Others).” In a July 8, 1947, US government memorandum (https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/ufoaliendatabase/images/3/3f/674B2E93-2973-4A91-A5A9-01A571E6A941.jpeg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20190219000319) we read the following statements about UFOs: “part of the disks carry crews, others are under remote control,” “they do NOT come from any ‘planet' as we use the word, but from an etheric planet which interpenetrates with our own and is not perceptible to us,” “the region from which they come is NOT the ‘astral plane,' but corresponds to the Lokas or Talas.”  Whether this document is honest or deceptive, or both, we do know that the US federal government actively engaged in UFO disinformation and misinformation via recommendations from the https://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/ufos/robertsonpanelreport.pdf in 1953. We also know that the Wall Street Journal just now in 2025 confirmed an old UFO theory, that the Pentagon utilized disinformation to fuel “https://archive.md/9cGKu” and to protect secret military technology like the F-117 stealth fighter. As for the LOKAS, this is a Hindu concept relating to a universe, plane, or other realm of existence, perhaps even a mental state. To make matters even stranger, Brown also posted what appears to be a https://x.com/SunOfAbramelin/status/1930791280260550830/photo/3, something reported at three of the most famous UFO incidents too: Roswell, Rendlesham, Kecksburg. And the recent https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/scientists-reveal-truth-behind-ufo-spotted-in-major-city-with-cryptic-message/ar-AA1FFMKJincident as well, which researchers using AI have translated as: “The origin of birth through union and energy in the cycle of transformation, meeting point of unity, expansion, and consciousness — individual consciousness.” The symbols in the Brown post appear similar to Angelic Script, something John Dee, the mystic astrologer of Queen Elizabeth I, deciphered from communications he and alchemist-clairvoyant Edward Kelley had with supposed angels. In the 16th-century, the men https://www.rcp.ac.uk/news-and-media/news-and-opinion/the-mystical-objects-of-john-dee/, including black mirror (computer screens) and crystal scrying balls called shew-stones (palantíri) within which appeared blurry letters that today we call Enochian Script. Underneath the symbols in the post is a translation that reads LOAGAETH, a term referring to Enochian language / Celestial Alphabet. Brown also goes by a curious name on X: “Sun of Abramelin.” This name refers to a 15th-century manuscript called “https://sacred-texts.com/grim/abr/index.htm.” The text has had a huge influence on modern ceremonial magic, and has been cited as a primary influence on Aleister Crowley, someone involved with Jack Parson of the Jet Propulsions Laboratory. As https://www.wired.com/story/jpl-jack-parsons/ writes: “When Parsons worked on his rocketry experiments in the desert he would recite a pagan poem to Pan.”  The sigil itself does not seem to be much pictorial magic symbol, but instead a large circular table. In fact - and maybe it's only because of its circular nature - there is something about it that mirrors the https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Schematic-layout-of-the-Large-Hadron-Collider-LHC-83-The-four-main-experiments-are_fig7_254469235 and even the first official https://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uNvpodhMFcA/R9-zqZDWauI/AAAAAAAAATc/1-rj2TNE98I/w1200-h630-p-k-no-nu/first-atomic-bomb-drawing.jpg.

A 2009 book maintains the same from https://www.ucpress.edu/books/the-language-of-the-gods-in-the-world-of-men/paper: “The language of the Gods in the World of Men: Sanskrit, Culture, and Power in Premodern India.” In other words, Sanskrit is a true Celestial Alphabet. The Rigveda, composed in Vedic Sanskrit, contains hymns about the universe's creation and dissolution, which directly aligns with CERN's purpose.  Also on the grounds of CERN is the imfafous statue of Shiva Nataraja.This subatomic world is likewise the realm of science fiction and science reality, as the https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/science/scientists-are-searching-mirror-universe-it-could-be-sitting-right-ncna1023206, just as the https://www.energy.gov/articles/searching-upside-down and searchers for the real “upside down.” This Shiva statue the same one that so-called researchers performed a https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-just-performed-a-fake-human-sacrifice-at-cern-for-some-reason.Physicist Archana Sharma (arcana), the first Indian scientist to join CERN was also just recently recognized for her work, to which commented: “our commitment to the philosophy of Vasudhev Kutumbakam—[a Sanskrit phrase that means] ‘https://www.symmetrymagazine.org/article/indias-gem-at-cern-archana-sharma?language_content_entity=und.'”The https://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uNvpodhMFcA/R9-zqZDWauI/AAAAAAAAATc/1-rj2TNE98I/w1200-h630-p-k-no-nu/first-atomic-bomb-drawing.jpg mirrors in a way the Brown sigil and LHC design, and it describes the implosion process into the center core of plutonium. This was the basis of the Trinity bomb that was finally officially tested in July 16, 1945. J. Robert Oppenheimer famously said: “https://www.wired.com/story/manhattan-project-robert-oppenheimer/, the destroyer of worlds.” The trinity comes also from the Hindu concept of https://www.britannica.com/topic/trimurti-Hinduism. In 1946, the US conducted a series of major nuclear bomb tests and called it OPERATION https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/operation-crossroads-atomic-bomb-aftermath, a term meaning “between the worlds,” guarded by Hecate.

When "The Judge" finally saw it with his own eyes, his daughter began speaking in something guttural, ancient, possibly Sumerian—and then Wind was gone. But not forever. Years earlier, on a quiet country road flanked by cornfields, "The Judge" came face to face with a creature that shouldn't exist. It ran through the rows—pacing him, mirroring every move—and when it stepped out, it stood tall like a man, with the head of a wolf and the build of a linebacker. No eye shine. No sound. Just intent.
