वज्र
The Thunderbolt Diamond
Toronto, Canada (November 24th, 2025)
The Vajra (in Tibet; the Dorje) is a ritualistic tool symbolizing the power of the Gods.
Translated from Sanskrit, Vajra is an instrument built from a ‘Diamond’, indestructible, and houses the power of the ‘Thunderbolt’, an irresistible force. Recognized by Buddhist, Hindus, and Jain societies as both a weapon and a symbol of strength. Depending on the deity holding the tool, its use can be leveraged for peace, when the ends are closed, or to enact the wrath of the gods, when ends are open.
In the Rigveda, part 4 of the Vedas, the sage Dadhichi (दधीचि) sacrificed themselves and their bones to be crafted into a Varja, and gifted to the deity Indra (इन्द्र). Upon which the god of weather utilizes the tool to strike down the evil Vritra (वृत्र) the serpent of drought and then released the waters to the people, and finally goes on to destroy Namuchi (नमुचि).
The Vajra “consists of a spherical central section, with two symmetrical sets of five prongs, which arc out from lotus blooms on either side of the sphere and come to a point at two points equidistant from the centre, thus giving it the appearance of a "diamond sceptre", which is how the term is sometimes translated.”
Many Vajrayana Buddhists, and the devoted, will carry a replica metal Varja in their right hand, symbolizing compassion, paired with a Bell in their left hand, symbolizing receptivity. The meditation is performed best with mudras (hand gestures) to anchor intention. The practice can utilize one of a variety of replica Varja’s ranging from single to nine pronged totems, curved, and double, each with its own significance in prayer.
Beyond mythology and spiritualism, conspiracists read the stories and description of the Vajra as representative of real world technology of the ancient people of the Indus Valley. Through the use of sacred geometry, the ancients developed a tool that could harness plasmoids and magnetic energy to legitimately wield thunder at will.
The power of the Vajra arises in Chinese mythology when Huang T’ien Hua from the Chin Kang utilize the shared tech to blind opponents, ultimately breaking the jade ring of the giant Mo-il Ch’ing, and then killing the eldest of the Diamond Kings. The Greeks depict Zeus with a three-pronged sceptre, the Sumerian’s describe Marduk in the Enuma Elish with a three-pronged sceptre to cut down the life of the serpent Tiamet.
Myths, Legends, fire-told stories connect us with our ancestors, both in disbelief and in faith, there’s a connection. We recognize our own humanity and frailty, yet at the same time inspired to grow into something larger than ourselves. Whether it is an inspirational goal or history of a lost regency, the Vajra is (will be) the tool best defined in the hands of those who hold it.
The Tartarian Empire
An independent Rus retelling
Toronto, Canada (December 14th, 2025)
Tartaria, is a historical name for Central Asia and Siberia, and has been theorized to be the home of a lost civilization with great technological prowess. In the 18th Century, traditional maps present the region in four classes, Siberia (Great Tartary), Crimea (Little Tartary), Russia (Independent Tartary) and Manchuria (Chinese Tartary). Western European opinions at the time often referred to the inhabitants as ‘barbarous’, and a part of a violent horde.
Was Tartaria a grand civilization that expanded the globe yet lost to history?
In the ‘New Chronology’ Anatoly Fomenko reframes events from antiquity, claiming the Holy Roman Empire re-wrote the history of the Middle Ages within the Balkans and Rus territory. Nikolai Levashov builds upon the theory to promote Russian nationalism and expand on the idea of a lost Tartarian Empire.
The theory follows the well-traveled Tartarian’s across the Bering Strait and leaving a magnificent architectural history throughout all of North America, that is eventually consumed by a “mud flood”, and eliminating the citizens who lived there. In the 19th century, western powers began to settle in North America, uncovering Tartarian structures and their architectural design to tap into atmospheric energy and radio waves. The 20th century oil magnates and railroad tycoons reclaimed some of the buildings to claim credit and destroyed others as they signaled methods for extracting free energy from the atmosphere.
The prime examples referenced are the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair grounds and Buffalo’s Pan-American Exposition in 1901, with great gold statues and marble buildings, arches with sonic resonance, and built on a grander massive scale. The New York’s Singer Building completed in 1908 (since destroyed), designed by architect Ernest Flagg in a construction style of the Tartaria and tallest building (27-story) built in the world at the time.
The sheer size and complexity of the buildings in 19th Century North America do not align with the people and technology (horse and buggy) at the time, at least to a modern builder’s understanding today. The theory extends to consider, that Tatarians were Giants, and that some mountains we observe today are remnants of this long lost history. The immense scale of the doorways, foyers, and the hallways were designed for function to its original inhabitants. The historical ambassadors and people of Tartary were often described and even photographed in great size, a part of culture memory that theorist reference as proof.
The rich materials, flowing arches, the ornate interior spaces, and domed shapes all represented a greater function at play. Upon discovery the powers at the time had to destroy these historical artifacts and rebuild these urban environments with more basic ‘modern’ techniques dependent on control electricity and rail. So planned fires were set throughout North America (Chicago, Montreal, Toronto).
With limited traces and references to a past civilization, and architectural design intended to democratically share atmospheric energy, America was well primed in the 20th Century to a house a new capitalist experiment.
The ‘Soft Power’ Effect
Is it bigger than the Military?
Toronto, Canada (December 31st, 2025)
August 1945, the U.S. drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Japanese’s penance for enacting occupational residence throughout the Pacific in WWII that added up to a similar destructive energy. A penance more dominant, but less embarrassing then the Tokyo Trials or the Nuremberg Trials faced by their German allies. Most especially for those officers who escaped to live the rest of their lives in shame in Argentina. In Japanese culture living in shame is a far worse punishment than dying because of it.
Post-WWII the Western world was quick to move forward and accept the future of technology and entertainment.
Japan was too, as Alfred Hitchcock began to push cinema forward in California, 黒澤 明 (Akira Kurosawa) was doing the same in Tokyo. As Elvis Presley brought Black gospel and blues to U.S. audiences, the Japanese happily bought the records. When Xerox built systems in Palo Alto where Steve Jobs and Bill Gates were both interns, Fuji Xerox had already established a decade earlier to provide Japanese youth a similar opportunity. As quickly as Japan was bombed, they adapted.
The Japanese society, however, had to process the devastation of nuclear war. Unlike the U.S. and Russia who were frozen in a Cold War standstill, the Japanese had experienced the effects radiating from these events and needed to process. Enter the myth of the Gojira" (ゴジラ) (translated Godzilla), an ocean lizard monster living deep, yet near enough to pose a devastating threat. When they arise from the ocean their destruction starts with the tsunami preceding their arrival, and as the step on land by swinging typhoon punches through buildings and threats of volcanic fire bursts to destroy peasant villages. A cultural story to help explain the destruction, and better yet travel the world and find a global audience.
On the opposite side of that coin, the Japanese military committed to a pacifist constitution where the only held a defensive position, Article 9. A country devoid of an offensive presence. A proud society would need to rely on science fiction landscapes and games to conquer, and new forms of expression that would dominate fashion.
In 1963, Osamu Tezuka created Tetsuwan Atomu(鉄腕アトム) (translated Astro Boy) a television series that embodied all the characters in modern day ‘Anime’. The series was immediately well received in Japan, and over the years remade for American in the 1980’s, introducing the world to Manga and influencing Akira, Dragon Ball-Z, and Sailor Moon. In 2025, Kazuko Ishikawa, “anime has become a core pillar of Japan’s cultural and economic exports” at $25B USD annually.
In 1974, Sanrio released Harō Kiti (ハロー・キティ) (translated Hello Kitty) a fictional British cat created by Yuko Shimizu. As the Sanrio friends grew in that universe, the world was introduced to ‘Kawaii’ (可愛い) a celebration of ‘cuteness’ and ‘childlike innocence’. The style today is found throughout fashion and culture, representing an aesthetic that has grown with its audience.
In 1981, Shigeru Miyamoto developed Donkey Kong for Nintendo where the ‘jumpman’ protagonist, later named ‘Mario’, was introduced to the world. From there Nintendo and Sony Playstation developed the formulas and medium for videogaming that is by far the biggest media platform, generating $190B USD globally per year.
Despite that, it could be argued in the last 75 years Japan recognized they could impact the world with its ‘soft power’ and has dominated culture on par or even greater than they United States of America.
Falun Gong / Dafa - 法轮大法
China’s newest religion
Toronto, Canada (December 28th, 2025)
On April 25, 1999, 10,000 Chinese citizens (under the banner of Falun Gong) gather in Zhongnanhai, Beijing and sat silently for 12 hours outside the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Headquarters.
On July 22, 1999, the People’s Republic of China’s Ministry of Civil Affairs outlaw the Falun Gong (Dafa) for spreading fallacies. The practitioners are rounded up, sent to re-education camps, and required to labour for the State. The act drew attention from international governments and human rights agencies, especially as allegations grew about CCP using Falun Gong practitioners to supply an organ transplant industry.
Central Teachings – The highest manifestations of Tao
Truthfulness (真; pinyin: Zhēn)
Compassion (善; pinyin: Shàn)
Forbearance (忍; pinyin: Rěn)
The leaders who could, escaped to Western havens, and today the group is headquartered in Deerpark, New York, U.S.
The Falun Gong (later Falun Dafa) was established in 1992. The teachings are rooted in the ancient Chinese qigong practices of Buddhism and Taoism, while remaining open to modern values, science fiction, and beliefs that challenge the sitting CCP.
The leader Li Hongzhi is viewed a demi-god with claims that he can walk on water, levitate, and see into the future. He promotes ultra-conservative teachings and rejects modern science, medication, homosexuality, and overall general ‘wokeness’. Li also claims most scientific developments are tied to an extraterrestrial transfer of knowledge, and these aliens are replacing humans through ‘soulless’ cloned human bodies to blend in.
Many, along with the Chinese government, are weary of the institution’s goals and its cult-like behaviours in mistreating its disciples by encouraging them into financial straits and even sacrificing their health through strict reading of the Buddhist principles of enduring hardship while forgoing desires and material distraction.
Media Outlets
The Epoch Times was founded in 2000 by John Tang and provided a means for messaging. In 2017, they updated their physical and online presence in the media landscape. They continue to publish wire news releases while intertwining Q Anon and anti-democratic conspiracy theories, building readership up with the American republican and right-wing western readers who were also interested in reading anti-CCP messaging.
New Tang Dynasty (NTD) Television was founded in 2001, leans right has a 24/7 multilingual broadcast. And followed a similar messaging trajectory as the print outlet; the Epoch Times.
Shen Yun Performing Arts (神韻藝術團) – A dance troupe that showcases its divine rhythmic style across the globe. The touring company is made up of 80 dancers who specialize in classical Chinese dance, aerobatics and tumbling. The performance starts 5,000 years at the birth of the Chinese civilization and retells China’s rich cultural heritage, supported by the various music and instruments of the time and leads into the Communist era of today.
Is the Falun Gong anti-communist protest movement? Is the Falun Dafa a cult built around a megalomaniac?
The answer is likely neither and both – caught between the propaganda of the East and the West.
The
Nepalese
Royal Massacre
Toronto, Canada (October 15th, 2025)
June 1st, 2001, the Narayanhiti Royal Palace in Kathmandu, Nepal was attacked. The Nepali Monarchy was destroyed. The Royal family and key lines of succession were murdered, King Birendra, Queen Aishwarya, Prince Nirajan, Rabi Shumshere, Kumar Mahesh, Kumar Khadga, Kumar Gorakh, Rajiv Shahi, Princess Dilasha, Princes Sitashma, with many staff injured.
The Attack
International outreach rose and even Scotland Yard offered to provide investigative forensic analysis to determine how the event played out. Instead, Nepal retained a two-man committee, Chief Justice Keshav Prasad Upadhyay and the Speaker of the House of Representatives Taranath Ranabhat. Their results determined a drug fueled Crown Prince Dipendra shot his family and ultimately shot himself in the head, later to die in a coma.
Early that evening Prince Dipendra was asked to leave the party, where he then called his girlfriend, Devyani Rana. Motivated by his parents disliking of his girlfriend, of lower caste and political status, and being advised he’d be passed over for King, Dipendra grabbed a M16 assault rifle and "A drunken crown prince indiscriminately fired, killing the royals".
The Reaction
King Birendra had ruled since 1972 and was well respected. In the 1990’s, he accepted the People’s Movement to limit his families Monarchical power and granted constitutional reforms for greater democracy. As the country mourned their loss, the unpopular Prince Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah was crowned the new King of Nepal, which did raise suspicions from many as he was unusually absent on the night of the attacks. As Prince Dipendra was very well-respected by the Nepalese population, Gyanendra would never have been crowned King otherwise.
Other anomalies stood out, in that Gyanendra’s family, Komal, Paras and Prerana were spared during the massacre, although his son was injured and his wife was reported to have recovered from a life-threatening bullet wound. Also, witnesses claim to have seen multiple people wearing masks of Prince Dipendra, accounting for multiple bodies appearing throughout the Palace despite the attack occurring in the Billiard room. Another concern is that the right-handed Prince Dipendra’s self-inflicted head wound was at his left temple.
Finally, after the event, curfews were imposed some suspect the Nepalese army used time to clean up and dispose of over 900 bodies that were poisoned. Within days the Royal Family was promptly cremated there were no opportunities to complete comprehensive autopsy.
Fast forward
Following the Royal Families death, a series of changes impacted the political structure of Nepal. In 2006, the Maoist party succeeded in ending the Hindu Kingdom fully replacing the structure as a Federal Republic (with questionable backing by Indian Research and Analysis Wing and the American Central Intelligence Agency). In 2015, the Federal Democratic republic divided into seven provinces. And this year, in 2025, pro-monarchy protests took root to restore the Kingdom of Nepal with the last King Gyanendra as the head. Soon after, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has fled the country due to Gen-Z protests, and the country is currently under control of the Nepali army, until a new PM is selected.
The Assassination of Benazir Bhutto
Montreal, Canada (November, 9th, 2025)
The first democratically elected Prime Minister in Pakistan, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was later hanged by the Pakistan military regime. Years later his daughter, Benazir Bhutto, successfully became the first woman to lead a Muslim country as Prime Minister (1988-1990) and again in (1993-1996). She ran on similar policies to her father; to take on corruption and she was a fierce opponent of Islamic Extremism throughout the country. She had threatened Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, local Jihadist groups, and was distrusted by the Pakistani military. Just as her father died in sacrifice to his politics, Benazir’s life was taken on December 27, 2007, by a 15-year-old suicide bomber Bilal in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.
“The court also acquitted five men who had been accused of being Taliban fighters involved in the conspiracy to murder Bhutto, However, it found two police officers guilty of “mishandling the crime scene”, each sentenced to 17 years imprisonment and fined 500,000 rupees ($4,700)” Al Jazeera New Agencies.
Pakistani State – The Pervez Musharraf government immediately blamed the assassination on Taliban Chief Baitullah Mehsud, who was later killed a drone attack in 2009. The Pakistani anti-terrorism courts, however, accused Musharraf himself in 2013, and he faced a travel ban up to 2016. As soon as he could he fled to Dubai.
United Nations – a 3-member UN team drafted a 70-page report in 2010 criticizing the Musharraf’s governments limits to providing Bhutto proper security detail. The response of Police officer Khurram Shahzad who hosed down the scene 2 hours after the attack drew attention, and Rawalpindi Police Chief Saud Aziz refused an autopsy of her body, both were convicted for conspiracy – but named no other conspirators.
Conspiracy Theorists – As the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) came to power after her death, Bhutto’s widow Asif Ali Zardari was elected president. As Zardari’s senior aide Bilal Sheikh oversaw Bhutto’s security when she returned from exile questions arose about his involvement in her death. Sheikh was killed by a suicide bomber in 2013. Video footage of Bhutto’s trusted bodyguard Khalid Shahensha rose suspicions about his behaviour and gestures on the day of the assassination. Shahensha was gunned down in Karachi in 2008.
A Father’s legacy foreshadowed his daughter’s death; the political world was not left surprised. A repeated theme in societies all across the world, the leaders who stand against corruption are often destroyed by it.
Disappearance of Flight MH370
Right Time, Wrong Place
Toronto, Canada (December 30th, 2025)
March 8th, 2014, at 00:41 MYT, Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 left Kuala Lumpur International Airport for Beijing Capital International Airport, but it never arrived. The Boeing 777 last communication was 38 minutes into the flight when air traffic control lost connection, yet the Malaysian military had it on radar for an additional hour. The flight had veered west from its original flight path over Andaman Sea. "We tracked an aircraft which did a turn back, but they were not exactly sure whether it was MH370. What they were sure of was that the aircraft was not deemed to be hostile.” Malaysian PM, Najib Razak.
The flight of 239 people was lost 200 nautical miles northwest of Penang Island. Despite intensive measures the wreckage was not found, with only pieces of the plane washing up off the Indian Ocean a year on at Réunion island beach, east of Madagascar. With continued interest, search renewed December 30th, 2025, and is set for another 55 days.
Theories – Standard to Conspiratorial
The Pilot - Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah was distraught and suicidal. His marriage was breaking up and his children had left the house the day prior. He was a supporter of Malaysian politician Anwar Ibrahim who was sentence to jail on March 7th, 2014, and Shah was even in the courtroom. Shah’s hometown was on Penang Island and theorist on British television claimed he deprived the cabin of air, then circled his old home prior to crashing the plane.
Hijacking Terrorists – a theory promoted in early days. Rupert Murdoch even claims the plane transported the primarily Chinese passengers to Pakistan and/or Afghanistan as a trade for hostages. Upon release of the original passenger manifest, it was soon updated revealing 2 Iranian passengers travelling under false European passports. Another passenger, later cleared, was question for their work with Swiss Jet charter due to their aviation knowledge.
In July 2014, Malaysian Airline Flight 17 another Boeing 777 was shot down as it flew over the Donbas region Ukraine by Russian separatist forces, which some theorizes was actually MH370 and an attempt to cover-up the hostage ransom.
Hijacking U.S. Navy Seals – claims the plane was commandeered or even been shot down near a U.S. Naval Base on the Diego Garcia atoll, with the intention of bringing in a Chinese hacker who attacked the Department of Defense or ‘Freescale Semiconductor’ scientists bringing back classified U.S. information to Beijing. The theory is supported by reports in Haveeru’s March 18th 2014 edition where many residents of Kuda Huvadhoo witnessed a large plane flying very low in the sky, potentially on fire.
Boeing Cover-Up –faulty equipment and maintenance issues had begun to arise. A fire igniting on EgyptAir Flight 627 in July 2011 was the first of many when an intense oxygen-fed cockpit fire destroyed flight controls. Despite the 777 having flown since 1995 with a high safety rating, starting 2008 issues began cropping up with the planes. Some theorize Boeing executives have taken strong measures to contain any negative press.
MH370x – CNN’s Don Lemon provided fuel to a potential ‘blackhole’ theory by questioning its legitimacy. Thereafter, Ashton Forbes is credited with providing the most coherent theoretical use of ‘plasmoids’ capable of stable relativist quantum aether wormhole large enough for a plane to travel through. His paper is supported by videos leaked by Edward C. Lin, a navy lieutenant
