Ancient Eleutherna, located on the northwest foot of Mount Ida on
Crete, has been revealing archaeological treasures from the dawn of
Greek civilization.
At 380 meters above sea level, south of the city of Rethymnon, Eleutherna, also called “Apollonia” at one time, is the birthplace of the poet Linos, the philosopher Diogenes, the tragic poet Ametor, and the sculptor Timochares.
The ancient Greek
city-state is being viewed the “heart” of Crete” not least by
archaeologist Nikos Stampolidis who remarked recently that it now stands
as the second major pillar of ancient Cretan civilization, after Knossos and Phaistos.
He stressed that it tells the story of the dawn of Greek
civilization, of the post-Minoan era against the counterweight of
Knossos and the one-sidedness of Crete’s Minoan past.

Surveys and systematic excavations under Stampolidis have revealed
the city’s settlement patterns, sanctuaries and necropoleis, and even
stone quarries in the surroundings of the hill. The discovery of the
remains of four females was declared one of the top 10 discoveries of
2009 by the Archaeological Institute of America.
During the ninth century BC, in sub-Mycenaean times, in the Geometric
Period of the later Greek Dark Ages, Dorians colonized the city.
In 220 BC the city of Eleutherna triggered the outbreak of the
Lyttian War by accusing the Rhodians of the assassination of their
leader Timarchus. The Eleuthernans eventually declared war on Rhodes.
During the following conflict, Eleutherna was at first allied with
Knossos and Gortys, but later they were compelled to change sides by the
Polyrrhenians and joined the opposite coalition led by the Macedonian
king Philip V.
Ancient Eleutherna was a prosperous center on Crete
With the Roman conquest of Crete in 68/67 BC, luxurious villas,
baths, and other public buildings demonstrate that Eleutherna was a
prosperous center through the Imperial period, until the catastrophic
earthquake of 365 AD.
Stampolidis and his team also discovered two Christian basilicas in
Eleftherna adding yet another new aspect to the area’s cultural profile,
which had previously solely been identified with the heroes of Homeric
times.

Stampolidis said that archaeologists are examining whether these two
churches were built by Christians by destroying intact pagan monuments
and buildings or if they repurposed already-abandoned monuments of the
ancient world.
“Did the Christians act as jihadists or simply peacefully write their own story?” asked the professor.
The museum of Eleftherna welcomes hundreds of visitors a day during
the summer period. The most innovative feature of the museum is perhaps
that all its exhibits will be periodically renewed with new finds from
the ongoing excavations.
The museum believes it will always be able to keep interest in its
collections fresh since its exhibits will continue to be updated with
the most recent revelations from the ongoing work at the archaeological
site.
“Whether in actual fact the policy of the boot-on-the-face can go on indefinitely seems doubtful. My own belief is that the ruling oligarchy will find less arduous and wasteful ways of governing and of satisfying its lust for power, and these ways will resemble those which I described in Brave New World. Within the next generation I believe that the world’s rulers will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging and kicking them into obedience.” – Aldous Huxley – Letter to George Orwell about 1984 in 1949
OVER AND OVER
THE ELITE NEVER, EVER GET MASSACRED OR WIPED OUT with their wealth. They just move. They move all down through the ages. They bring on catastrophes to an empire when they've used up that empire and they’ve already created another one to move into and then they flatten the old one and move on. This has been the system for thousands and thousands and thousands of years at least. - Alan Watt
Artificial messages coming from the environment and through controlled dark portal organizations and mind-controlled people feels; metallic, abrasive, acidic, energetically burdensome, and sharp knife or blade like. Sometimes it can make you feel suddenly physically ill with headaches, nausea, or body parts with stabbing pains, and even diarrhea when you come into contact with it. AI feels sickening to the Cosmic Christ Consciousness. [https://rielpolitik.com/2022/08/16/archons-overlords-magick-black-suns-lisa-renee-globalists-standing-at-the-ready/]
“There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution” ― Aldous Huxley
Watchers?
Watcherism is the worldwide religion of the ruling class, make no mistake about it. Forget about nationality, forget about ethnicity, forget about inherited religious tradition. None of that matters - not one single bit - at the elite level.
This is the religion they all share, and they tell you so over and over and over and over again. Thankfully, I think that message is sinking through to all but the most myopic and obstinate. - Christopher Knowles, Secret Sun blog
Hi folks, I am Alan Watt and this is Cutting Through The Matrix on February the 9th 2009. For newcomers, look into www.cuttingthroughthematrix.com and download as many of the previous shows I've done, in the past, over the years, as you wish. I try to give you short-cuts to the big picture and get us above all the small bickering at the bottom; and there's also a lot of misleading information too, that keeps us trapped for years sometimes, in different tunnels and that's what it is, it's a world full of tunnels of information. There are some people who are experts in particular tunnels and it's quite good too, when you talk to them, because they know every part of it, in one particular area, and they can talk forever, with details and data, but we have to get them all together, to come out the tunnels and combine all this information, to get the big-big picture and I try to do that as well, on these talks. You can download as many of the previous talks I'v...
Documentary filmmaker Marijn Poels is in search of humanity's primal code. In the second part of his trilogy, he unravels the genetically embedded principles and instincts we have neglected through the ravages of time. A compelling and mind-boggling quest of how certain stories, frequencies, and intentional programs suppress our perceptions, and block our path to humanity. (I'd call that sorcery!) What if you visit a place where you’re confronted with our history that turns out to be much different than the one you were always led to believe? How a false narrative (sorcery) has managed to keep the whole foundation of our being in its grip by shifting reality into myths. A story of how oppression and fear have kept us from developing our primal forces for thousands of years, which are now being reclaimed worldwide. Because it's just in our human DNA and it's easier to reclaim than once thought. A mind-boggling experimental quest by documentarian Marijn Poels into...
