 well, i blame my father, who is a nutty apocalypse guy and i was already learning about stuff like the CFR and the Trilateral Commission from funny little books he had... and then when i was 19, with a head full of mushrooms someone played me Snog and i am hearing all this stuff about these same organisations again (almost all psychedelics in some part of south/central america have a name that means saint peter, the guardian of heaven)

then late last year i read The Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya and i could not unsee it, and have been steadily reading through all the interesting apocrypha around the history you find in short form in Genesis

reminds me, i really need to get an actual bible, but i don't know what is the most accurate, I know KJV is regarded as quite authoritative but a little funny in places, probably i just need a concordance along with it, one with good detail of contentious translations and references to the hebrew, greek and aramaic manuscripts
