On April 19th, 1995, a Ryder rental truck pulled up to the Alfred P. Murrah building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. At 9:02 am, the truck exploded, causing a third of the building to disintegrate from the force of the blast.
At least 168 people were killed and more than 680 others were injured. The explosion destroyed or damaged 324 other buildings spanning 16 blocks, destroying 86 cars. Over $652 million in damage was caused.
In less than 90 minutes, the prime suspect was apprehended—Timothy McVeigh. He was driving without a license plate and had illegal weapons in the car with him.
Despite the chaos of the event, in a matter of days, authorities used forensic evidence to quickly link McVeigh and Terry Nichols, McVeigh's prime accomplice, to the explosion. Both the media and the authorities ignored eyewitness accounts of more than one bomb found in the debris.
Like the September 11th attacks that would ravage New York City’s World Trade Center complex just six years later, the debris from the Murrah building was carted off and destroyed before a thorough examination could be completed. As a result, the official narrative, which ran counter to the reports on the ground, became the account of record.
To this day, many respectable researchers believe that the event was a government-sponsored PSYOP—a false flag. The event took place within a 40-day window called the season of sacrifice, according to former satanist priest turned whistleblower, Mark Passio.
Former Satanist Priest Tells All
Circa 1995, as a teenager, Mark Passio was recruited into the Church of Satan, noticed for his ability to write ideologically accurate satanic song lyrics. Anton Lavey himself appointed Passio to the position of high priest and granted him authority over a Grotto in the Philidelphia area. Passio was tasked with attending and overseeing midnight meetings with members of the satanic group. He thought he’d encounter obstinate punk kids like himself. But to his surprise, he saw politicians, lawyers, teachers, policemen, priests, and many more influential people at the meetings.
Grotto meeting attendees spoke of an ancient tradition and pride in the ideologically of Satanism, which bound a diverse group of movers and shakers of society. The group claimed to have orchestrated almost every major event of history, reaching all the way back into ancient pre-history. Passio was told that the mind control the group and its allies exert over the general population was profound and near absolute in its grip that even if they held a press conference declaring to the world who they were and what their agenda is, people wouldn’t believe them.
Passio was so disgusted and disturbed by what he encountered, he dedicated his life to exposing the group and its agenda. Part of the information he brought forth was their use of what he calls chaos sorcery, which refers to the intentional destabilization of aspects of society, from the economy to religious institutions, from the family unit to the fields of science and politics. False flags are just one of the many cultural warfare weapons developed by what Passio refers to as the dark occult groups of the world. These groups include but are not limited to the so-called Illuminati, globalists, and the many groups working together in some fashion to effect a mutually-agreed upon agenda for total control of the human population.
Learn more about Passio’s experiences and the things he discovered in the below three hour plus presentation from 2016.
False Flags are Not New
Our world is controlled by elite oligarchs, globalists, and their middle-manager henchmen that work in bank, trade, finance, and government. Working hand-in-glove with the hidden masters of the world are the covert intelligence agencies.
A false flag is a political or military action carried out with the intention of blaming an opponent for it.
The goal is to gain advantages over the populous, another state actor or country, by triggering an event and blaming it on someone else. A false flag can also spin organic events to suit the agenda of a control group. Given this definition, one could argue that false flag events are on going operations that take place regularly.
A much deeper discussion could be had linking the banking-governmental industrial complex to criminal events as part of the banking cartel’s efforts to maintain a grip on economies they’ve taken over.
Banking as we know it today relies on instability to maintain dependence on the banking industry and its subsidiary industries of insurance, healthcare, law enforcement, defense manufacturing, human trafficking and the drug trade. The first fractional reserve bank was launched within a decade of the Dutch East India company, which was involved in the black market cartel activities cited earlier (i.e., drug trade, weapons trading, color revolutions [not the term used in the past], slavery, and high finance).
In short, the healthier a community the more law and order exists therein, the less that community needs to hedge against risks using banker credit as a result of societal instability. Conversely, the more instability exists within a community, the more money is needed to manage risks. The international banking cartel is happy to offer solutions to the problems it helped create through it’s partnership with organized crime.
Whitney Webb, in her book One Nation Under Blackmail, reveals the shady and government endorsed relationship between organized crime, government, banking, and the intelligence community. Criminal cartels don’t just take advantage of the banking system, they work directly with it to manufacture chaos that governments use to enact legislation in an effort to solve, charging tax payers top dollar in the process. The scheme is so successful it’s become the foundation of all modern nations and countries.
The money generated from these schemes is not the end but a means to an end. The real end is arguably control of the human population for an disclosed purpose—money and banking merely provide one of the best tools for control, specifically covert control. While the full nature of this agenda is hidden, tips of the iceberg have been revealed in the media.
“You’ll own nothing and be happy.”
Admitted False Flags
Governments rarely openly admit that they have orchestrated false flags, but it does happen. Let’s review two examples from a list of 42 admitted false flags:
(1) Japanese troops set off a small explosion on a train track in 1931, and falsely blamed it on China in order to justify an invasion of Manchuria. This is known as the “Mukden Incident” or the “Manchurian Incident”. The Tokyo International Military Tribunal found: “Several of the participators in the plan, including Hashimoto [a high-ranking Japanese army officer], have on various occasions admitted their part in the plot and have stated that the objective of the ‘Incident’ was to afford an excuse for the occupation of Manchuria by the Kwantung Army.” And see this.
(2) A major with the Nazi SS admitted at the Nuremberg trials that – under orders from the chief of the Gestapo – he and some other Nazi operatives faked attacks on their own people and resources which they blamed on the Poles, to justify the invasion of Poland.

Origin of the Occult Seasons of Sacrifice
The strange marriage between occultism, intelligence agencies, and banking establishes an apparent pattern for why and how false flag events occur.
Occult should not be taken to mean the Hollywood variant of occultism—ouija boards, satanic black masses, men dressed like devils, and the like—although these are minor aspects, to be sure.
Occult here means the broader definition, relating to that which is hidden from sight.
There appears to be a religious aspect to the groups who use false flags to affect their agenda. A full treatment and exploration of all the various occult groups, their belief systems, and agendas is beyond the scope of this writing. However, the number of false flag attacks that occur on alleged occult holidays suggests an occult-religious significance. A list is provided later in this writing.
In summary, many occult groups of the deep past believed heralds and signs in the heavens were related to god-like beings and the communion of these beings with humanity. Comets, solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, and other celestial phenomena properly identified and predicted, could be used to negotiate with the gods, and in doing so, gain favor for the tribe or cult.
At this time in history, primitive minded people believed everything in the natural world was a direct result of personal beings—either human or supernatural. It rained because of a rain god. Crops grew because of the fertility god. Therefore, if one could gain sway and favor with these gods, by offering them gifts or making bargains, the tribe could avoid tragedy (bad times) while paving the way for beneficence (good times). The one who could broker such a bargain was a man or women of renown, a witch doctor, shaman, or high priest.
Later, kings and their progeny would act as appointed representatives of the gods of the tribe. Both priest and king were in effect messiah-like figures, who’s word was law, and who’s will was unquestionable. These elites would declare when the land and community needed to be purged of sin, for which, mass ritual of sacrifice was the cleansing agent of choice. For instance, the Mayans and Aztecs engaged in regular episodes of blood spilling to renew the vitality of the earth. Druids used to burn wicker men, which was filled with criminals and sinners who were believed to have offended the gods and therefore must be killed in a ritual cleansing.
From these primordial roots, the recent and more sophisticated dark elite groups emerged to form the larger civilizations of Sumer, Babylon, Egypt, Phoenicia, and on down through history. The rites and practices used by these ancient dark occultists transformed with the times, modernizing as false flag rituals, as just one example of the deeply occulted basis of modern civilization.
Anthony Napoleon, psychoanalysis, lawyer, and researcher of the occult, in his book Shadow Men: An Encyclopedia of Mind Control, argues that a consistent and reliable modus operandi has been used all throughout history. The so-called shadow men—who tend to be intelligent psychopaths—learned how to track the motion of the heavens, assigning socio-religious significance to the movement of celestial bodies.
In time, the shadow men were able to predict celestial events with staggering accuracy, using such predictions and the carefully seeded narratives that such events are proof of communion with the gods to gain the trust of the less intelligent and superstitious citizenry. This claim, combined with evidence gathered by anthropologists suggests peoples in antiquity worshipped and revered heavenly bodies, establishes a link between astrology and occult groups. Astrotheology, as it is known, was secretly woven into all modern and mainstream religions.
In simple terms, people naturally follow other people who can accurately predict events, by virtue of the fact the predictor has sufficient knowledge to establish a working prediction. Predicting the appearance of celestial bodies and events would have an incredibly powerful effect on the minds of superstitious people, who would quickly regard those offering predictions as magical—able to communicate with the gods. Elite priests and druids were able to effectively become the secret rulers of men, and with this power, they further cemented their grip by concretizing their systems into religious dogma and astrologically-centered days of worship, many of which involved ritual sacrifice.
Dozens upon dozens of researchers, of both ancient peoples and modern tribes, describe the importance of sacrifice and ritual blood spilling to renew the land in preparation for the new year or season. Modern academia supports this finding, arguing that a socio-religious basis for connecting sacrifice and fruitfulness has been established all throughout history by tribes and peoples separated by vast distances.
In the deep past, small tribes centered around shamanistic practices appear to have naturally developed human sacrifice and psycho-drama (ritual magic) as a standard feature of shadow men's style control over populations. Eventually, as society became more complex, the shaman or witch doctor met challenges associated with indoctrinating all the people within the tribe. Combined with the emergence of a monarchy, the function of indoctrination fell to much larger religious institutions.
The Eleusinian Mystery Schools, for instance, emerged sometime during the Grecian dark ages, possibly through interaction with Phoenicians who worshiped Ba’al, a horned god that demanded human sacrifice as payment for benefits rendered. The mystery schools are the esoteric (hidden) counterpart to the exoteric (overt) worship of openly endorsed gods and goddesses. That is, citizens would openly worship at temples to Zeus during the day, and secretly engage with the mysteries at night. These same mystery schools are alive and well today as the various initiation lodges, such as Free Masonry.
Later, the mystery schools were used to recruit and cement members from the general population into the secret power cult, which was itself a tool used to maintain power by the shadow men priests and rulers operating behind the scenes. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the shadow men appear to have crypto-ized—they clothed themselves in other religions, such as Judaism, Islam, Christianity, and later, secularism. Today, secular systems of power (leftism, progressivism, the LGBTQ+ agenda, etc) overshadow the once mainly socio-religious exoteric systems. But the underlying astrotheological basis for shaping world events remains very much alive; at least, this is the conclusion that several researchers have drawn, such as Mark Passio, Santos Binachi, and many others.
Both the dark occult groups of the past and present seem to believe in the power of what we might call occult holidays—days of astrotheological significance. May Day, May 1st, or Beltaine, is one of the more significant days. In relation to the season of sacrifice, it is the last day of the 40-day season of sacrifice.
Here is a brief list of significant events that took place on May 1st, which lines up with the pagan holiday of Beltane.
Astrotheology of the 40-Day Season of Sacrifice
False flags can occur all throughout the year. Not every event has to fall on a occult day of significance. The 40-day season, according to Mark Passio, starts on March 19th and ends on May 1st.
Here is a brief list of events that took place within this window. This is not an exhaustive list:
• 4/19/1775 Battles of Lexicon and Concord by British
• 4/19/1861 Baltimore Riots (13 died)
• 4/14/1912 Sinking of the Titanic (1512 died)
• 4/4/1968 Assassination of Martin Luther King
• 4/19/1993 Waco Massacre
• 4/19/1995 Oklahoma City Bombing
• 4/28/1996 Port Arthur Massacre, Australia
• 3/26/1997 Heaven’s Gate Cult “Suicides”
• 3/24/1998 Westside Middle School Massacre in Arkansas
• 4/20/1999 Columbine High School Shootings
• 3/20/2003 “Shock & Awe” Iraq War Begins
• 4/16/2007 Virginia Tech Massacre
• 4/29/2010 Moscow Subway Bombings
• 4/19/2010 BP Oil Rig Attacks
• 4/19/2011 Invasion of Libya by U.S. Begins
• 4/15/2013 Boston Bombings
What is the significance of this 40-day window?
The following is an excerpt from an article I wrote in 2015 summarizing a presentation provided by Mark Passio, wherein he lays out the astrotheological basis of false flags and the 40-day season of sacrifice.
12 Signs or Houses of the Zodiac
The Season of Sacrifice is based on the 12 signs of the Zodiac.
The Zodiac is a time measurement system used by ancient cultures as a method of tracking the movement of celestial bodies over a course of time with our planet as a center point. As the Earth moves around the Sun, the position of planets and our star changes in the sky, and this can be tracked using the Zodiacal system.
This system can be used for small time periods, like a single year or much larger spans of time, like a Great Cycle or Year (approximately 26,000 years). In either case, the constellation behind the Sun as it rises determines which house of the zodiac or sign the Earth is under or in. For example, on March 19th or 20th, the Sun will rise in the constellation of Aries the Ram, anyone born under this sign would be associated with the constellation Aries, until April 17th when the Sun rises in the house of Taurus. (Note: In astrology, the actual sign that rises behind the sun has shifted since the system was originally developed ages ago. But by and large modern-day astrologers use the historical system, which has shifted. The “true sign” rising on a given day is known by many names, such as Vedic astrology.)
Here is an image of the 12 signs of the Zodiac plotted over a one-year cycle. In this image are two crosses at 45º angles with each other, marking the four seasons and their midpoints, which have occult significance.
The Season of Sacrifice begins when the sign of Pisces transitions to Aries, at approximately the same time as the Spring Equinox on March 21st. May 1st is the midpoint of the sign of Taurus, marking the end of this sacrificial period with the pagan holiday of Walpurgisnacht.
Seasons Marked by Vertical and Horizontal Lines
The Zodiac also marks the seasons of the year by using vertical and horizontal lines, corresponding to the height of the sun in the sky as it moves throughout the year.
The term Equinox literally means equal night. The angle that the Sun has with respect to the Earth’s equator during the equinoxes is zero degrees; these two points of the Zodiac are on either side of a horizontal line. These are the two times of the year when day and night are equal, falling on the seasonal transitions of Spring and Fall.
When the Sun reaches the highest or lowest point in the sky, it is known as the seasons of Winter or Summer, marked on the Zodiac by either end of a vertical line, respectively. The lowest position of the Sun, from a northerly perspective represented by the lowest point in the Zodiac, is between Sagittarius and Capricorn. The highest position of the Sun is represented by the highest point in the Zodiac, between Gemini and Cancer.
On a standard globe used in geography, one can find the lines marked the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. These represent the maximum southern and northern points of the Sun as it moves in the sky throughout the year. When the Sun reaches the angle of 23.5ºN with respect to the equator, the Summer Solstice begins, entering the sign of Cancer. When the sun reaches the angle of 23.5ºS with respect to the equator, the Winter Solstice begins, entering the house of Capricorn.
The year can be further broken down into the Season of Life, marked by the Sun’s emergence from the Southern hemisphere on the Spring Equinox, and the Season of Death, marked by the Sun’s recession into the Southern hemisphere on the Fall Equinox.
Within these two seasons, the archetypal story of the Zodiac is told as an allegorical tale of the symbolic figures associated with each of the 12 signs. The progression of the Zodiac is a symbolic system representing the evolution of consciousness, for an individual and the planet at large.
The Minor and Grand Crosses of the Zodiac
The Minor Zodiacal Cross is created by four quadrants of the Zodiac marked by the beginning of the four seasons, forming four cross sections:
March 21st (Spring);
June 21st (Summer);
September 21st (Autumn); and
December 21st (Winter).
The Grand, or Galactic Cross is created by four quadrants of the Zodiac marked by the midpoints of the seasons. These times were each marked by Sabbats, or the time for performing sacred rites:
May 1st (Walpurgisnacht – representing fertility, the emergence of life, and an offering of sacrifice of some kind to ensure a bountiful harvest);
August 1st (Lammas – representing a time of gratitude, pre-harvest thankfulness, and a celebration of bounty and life);
October 31st (Samhain – representing a time of reflection and self-respect, honoring the dead, contemplation of impermanence and death, and a time of preparation for winter); and
February 2nd (Candlamas – representing prediction, a time of looking forward, planning for the future, making resolutions, and the time when the darkest and coldest period of the winter is about to end).
By combining the Minor Cross point of March 19th with the Grand Cross point of May 1st, a 40-day period is outlined, defining the window of time known as the Season of Sacrifice.
The Sun’s movement in the sky produces seasonal changes and resulting effects on life. These cycles were highly revered and studied by the ancients, which placed great importance on harmonizing human life with the stars.
In closing, the 40-day cycle may or may not be filled with events on days of significance. Recall that events that are orchestrated or important for the cabal may not seem all that significant on the surface. Of course, false flags act like candle lights, standing out as more recognizable.

How sad indeed that people eat this research up that exposes the satanic but fail to read God's Bible. My point being that there is good in God that is fought against by evil from Satan. Scripture explains that one third of the created angels rebelled against God and were cast to earth led by one named Satan or Lucifer. And here we are still. So the study of this if one really wants to understand it fully requires the now popular "deep dive" into Holy Writ.
Similarly,. Altiyan Childs was an Aussi Rockstar - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altiyan_Childs. "On 15 April 2021, Altiyan released a five-hour youtube video on Freemasonry, and its secretly antagonistic relationship with Christianity. Altiyan claims to be a former member of the Masonic fraternity, breaking his Masonic oaths in order to produce his 5 hour presentation. The conclusion of the presentation is that international Freemasonry is in fact Organised Satanism in disguise."
Freemasonry is one of the many orders behind the drive to the NWO. Like the other brotherhoods/secrete societies, at the high levels FREEMASONRY is actually SATANISM.
