Fringe Believers Allege Russians Moved an Ancient Angelic Plasma Emitting Box from Mecca to Antarctica

2/25/2016

44 Comments

 
“I love the poorly educated!” Donald Trump proclaimed at a recent rally, and it was perhaps a rare moment of unintentional honesty. As much as I dislike discussing politics, it’s hard not to see in the rise of Trump the culmination of trends that surfaced in fringe history before infecting the mainstream of politics. While for many Trump appears as a clownish combination of Dr. Evil, Lex Luthor, and Mussolini, it’s increasingly difficult to deny that Trump hold an enormous appeal to the discontented, the fearful, the xenophobic, and racists. A recent New York Times survey found that almost 20% of Trump supporters opposed the Emancipation Proclamation, and another third were unsure whether they supported freeing the slaves. White supremacist David Duke even urged his racist supporters to volunteer for and vote for Trump. “Voting against Donald Trump at this point is really treason to your heritage,” Duke told his radio program’s predominantly white listeners yesterday.
It looks like the fluorescence of fringe history claims on TV, many of which track quite closely with racist, xenophobic, and white revanchist ideas, was the canary in the coal mine, presaging the growing voter base who are reacting to social changes with horror and fear and want to cleanse America of foreigners, Muslims, etc. The TV audience seemed almost like a proof of concept for a new and more hateful brand of politics, targeted at the fearful, the hateful, and the poorly educated. In other words, what surveys say are the key Trump voters.
 
Meanwhile, I’m sure most of you have heard about the bizarre new fringe claim that has a vaguely anti-Muslim and xenophobic cast to it. The claim involves the so-called Ark of Gabriel, a doomsday device that believers allege that the archangel Gabriel gave to Muhammad. According to the story, which has no trace in the literary record before the end of last year, Muhammad hid the weapon beneath the Grand Mosque in Mecca, where it was to be kept safe until Judgment Day. When the Saudis rediscovered the box last year, they informed the Russian Orthodox Church and Vladimir Putin, who took control of the box and removed it to Antarctica. According to conspiracy theorists, the crane collapse that killed 107 people at the Grand Mosque last year and the 4,000 people who died in a stampede at the same site a few weeks later were “really” caused by the Ark’s “plasma emissions.”
 
This prompted more recent speculation that the Russians have taken the Ark to the Nazis’ Antarctic UFO bases.
 
It should be obvious that the supposed Ark of Gabriel is modeled on fringe history claims about the electrical death rays writers like Erich von Däniken and Graham Hancock asserted came out of the Ark of the Covenant, or, more likely, the supposed nuclear power, UFO energy, and sonic vibrations attributed to it on Ancient Aliens.
 
While the facts of the claim are ridiculous on the surface, the underlying theme is quite clear: Americans need to fear Muslims and Russians unleashing unprecedented power against us, and even God himself has turned against America for being insufficiently strong and great.
 
Despite claims that there is an “ancient” manuscript that the Vatican (those evil Catholics!) gave to the Orthodox Church to serve as an operating manual, there is not a shred of testimony that the Ark of Gabriel is anything more than a conspiracy theorist’s fever dream. Strangely, though, if any of the intrepid “investigators” who claim to know so much about the plasma weapon had put a little more effort into research, they might have created a better documented hoax.
 
There is actually a tradition of angelic secrets associated with the Grand Mosque, and it goes back to medieval times. In the Akhbar al-zaman, composed sometime around 1000 CE and reporting traditional material at least several centuries earlier, Gabriel (Jibril in Arabic) didn’t just speak to Muhammad but came down to Earth after the Fall of Adam and revealed to Adam 21 pages of divine wisdom. Adam’s body was allegedly buried near Mecca in the Cave of Treasures, taken from Jewish lore, and which was filled with gold and other valuables. The book goes on to say that Adam’s son Seth received 27 more pages of divine wisdom, and that he was ordered to build the first Kaaba, which Abraham restored after the Flood.
 
These pages were supplemented with further revelations, but according to the text, the book they comprised, the Book of Secrets, was never again read after the translation of Enoch and the death of the seventy Watchers (nuqabā’), here euhemerized into leaders of the Sethites, a faint echo of the older legend from the Book of Enoch on which this version is ultimately based. The pages of wisdom drop out of the story during the Flood, but we know from Jewish and Christian sources that the common belief in Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages is that one of Noah’s sons either carried the wisdom on the Ark or else buried it to uncover later; however, in these versions the book of wisdom is more frequently associated with the fallen angel Watchers and with evil than with Seth and goodness.
 
Granted, that’s not a plasma gun, but we can bring things a bit closer. According to Islamic lore, Gabriel also provided weapons to the prophets of Islam. To Adam some said he gave the first bow and arrow, and to Muhammad (or sometimes Ali) he is sometimes said to have given the wonder-blade Zulfqar. (Fun fact: A picture of that sword appeared on the standard of the Turkish admiral seized by the victorious Don John of Austria at the Battle of Lepanto, where ufologists allege a UFO sighting occurred.) This sword was said to possess near magical powers to smite any whom its blade touched, but would not kill an innocent man.
 
It looks like our current story about a plasma-emitting box under the Grand Mosque is a modern bit of fake lore constructed out of a few scraps of Islamic tradition (namely the close relationship to Gabriel), a good chunk of Ancient Aliens (the nuclear Ark claims), and a big dose of xenophobic panic.

"“Voting against Donald Trump at this point is really treason to your heritage,” Duke told his radio program’s predominantly white listeners yesterday."

You mean by voting Trump I'm not only helping him not get elected, I'm also making David Duke cry? Two birds with one stone! =P

The origin of the Ark of Gabriel story is the website WhatDoesItMean.com, which attributes all its stories to Russian Ministry of Defense reports circulating in the Kremlin. Now that it's hit the big time I'm sure they start producing more "reports" along the same lines.

Oh, and I'm not sure the intent of the original WhatDoesItMean story was to make Russia scary. The site is generally pro-Russia, to the point of implying that all the bad things that happen are because the American government isn't listening to Russia enough. Sometimes they write about Russia being able to conquer America, but if you read beyond the headline they make clear that's a good thing because of the "deviancy" of America.

That's an interesting difference in how stories get interpreted, isn't it? What we here might read as frightening Russia taking advantage of American weakness can also read, from the opposite view, as a strong Russia retaking its place as a divine agent and world power. I hadn't read the Russian-oriented versions.

DaveR

Another interpretation might be that a certain segment in Russia views the Kremlin and Russian military as weak an ineffectual, so a fantasy weapon of great power is invented, and they, of course, control this amazing weapon.

There is more background on the source here:
https://howcouldthispossiblybebad.wordpress.com/2016/02/24/watching-a-fringe-theory-being-born-the-ark-of-gabriel/

The odd thing is that, while the site appears to be pro-Russian, the Russian media suggest it is the Americans who are behind it, but perhaps they would say:
http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Sorcha_Faal#2016_Russian_media_circus

The scary thing is how quickly it made it through to a "mainstream" news source (although most British tabloids seem to have sections that uncritically recycle nonsense so it shouldn't be a big surprise that it'd crop up somewhere like this):

America the government doesn't ever tell the truth about anything until all the criminals involved are dead and almost everything you hear about Russia, Iran, is because they stand up to America, unless that's all a huge conspiracy.

Either way Obama, Bush, Trump, Truman and every President with 1 exception in recent times who was killed for being not corrupt enough to deal with the states of the world if he could change it and his brother too. They had flaws but who doesn't, they didn't follow their dads orders and that says a lot, as adults at least.

Every President is as more evil and responsible for more death, crime, war crime and human rights violations than any nation and it is a true triad of evil with UK and Jizreal guilty of sins that make the Dulles brothers look light righteous men if they can be considered human.

"If there is a hell those creepy Dulles brothers are in it doing unspeakable things with bananas."

Malory Archer of the former "International secret intelligence service" on the cartoon Archer, Isis, which had to be changed because of the Mossad CIA MI5 6 ISIS. Propaganda is everywhere if you know how to spot it and just about everything is propaganda.

Because the USA if the evil Empire it's prudent to villainaize anyone who isn't as evil as you and easy when most people don't go to Russia or Iran but the people who do usually tell a different story and that Israel is a criminal syndicate with UN backing dedicated to violating the human rights of the Palestinians until they leave or die.

Americans have little to be proud of today but are too stupid to realize Putin isn't half as bad as any of our last 15 Presidents, he tells it like it is and oh yeah Shiites are allied with Russia not Sunnis, the majority in Islam and Shiites do really hate us, at least from what I see with Nusayyri Shiite Al Assad and in their books, their "Imam Mahdi" is identical to the dajjall/antichrist. But that's religion I don't hate the Shiites and they even aren't as evil as MasonAmerica

Yeah Jason, you probably should avoid being political as it only points to your own biases. I say this not as a partisan, but as a life long independent. Trump actually has broad appeal with many sections of society on opposing ends; including those educated. I was reading today of one relevant factor being how you raise your children, with authoritarians leaning more towards Trump. So I suppose you might argue that indulging your children and encouraging their rude behavior might make you more inclined to reject Trump. Or I could point out that you could find other undesirable demographics that tend to support democratic candidates... but it's all just politics. People take sides and reject reason in the name of partisanship. Would hate to see that happen here.

Now vote early and often...

"As much as I dislike discussing politics..."

There's a difference between discussing politics and "being political", and if pointing out that a politician and his followers are xenophobic, racist, and misogynistic is biased, the it's an acceptable bias as far as I'm concerned. That's especially true because Jason relates it to other problems he has discussed in this blog.

I hadn't read that Trump appealed more to those who are more authoritarian in raising their children, but it doesn't surprise me. They were probably raised the same way, which means they were probably taught to put blinders on their critical thinking skills no matter how well educated they are.

And though I know you were talking about opposite extremes, I do want to point out its possible to raise well mannered children without being authoritarian.

>>>xenophobic, racist, and misogynistic<<<

Donald Trump is not any of those things and one of these days ISIL will commit a devastating terrorist act in America - just waiting for the right moment, that's all.

Obama had the power to wipe out ISIL out about 5-6 years ago and did not do it because it would have been politically unfashionable. Now because of that ISIL has grown stronger and it remains unlikely it will ever be defeated.

No-one knows how many ISIL activists exist in America, but it would be dumb to pretend they did not exist. And they are waiting for the right moment to strike in America, that's for sure.

It was Barack Obama's military ineptitude that gave rise to the popularity of Donald Trump.

And what the hell was Obama doing arming Syrian rebels that were worse than Bashar Al-Assad.

And why is the West belly-aching about Putin's bombings when some of the Syrian rebels are supporters of ISIL ?

Why is it not being reported in the West that some of the Syrian rebels are supporters of ISIL - this is the communication age,

Given how common conspiracy theory has become in open discussion on the American Right, that Trump is a birther, and that Trump is far as I am aware the first presidential candidate to go on the Alex Jones show, discussion of Trump and what his supporters mean for America is entirely appropriate.

Joe Scales
2/25/2016 10:25:37 pm

Simply put, I'd reiterate that you could pick any politician and find something wrong with a portion of a population that might support them. Now if Trump personally is pushing fringe theory, then by all means go after him. Otherwise, it's just a political attack, pure and simple, no matter how you put it given the context of his current ambition. Whether or not you've always disliked him is irrelevant. Now if you truly wish to mix politics with debunking, that is your prerogative. It is an election year, and probably difficult to hold back. But in doing so you will turn off a great portion of people who might have been very open to the site otherwise.

spookyparadigm
2/25/2016 10:58:48 pm

The only current presidential candidate I can think of who has been a happy guest on the Alex Jones Infowars show is Trump. Ron Paul might have done the show, wouldn't surprise me. Rand Paul, I don't know.

So yes, it is news if the likely nominee for one of the two major political parties of the most heavily armed nuclear power is on friendly terms with the king of false flag apocalyptic conspiracy theories.

Further, Trump's primary political action before the election was to become the champion Birther. That alone would make his rise newsworthy in regards to "fringe" beliefs (can't really call them fringe anymore, can we?).

Even if one ignores his racial remarks, his calls to assault protesters, the sort of rhetoric that has not been acceptable political rhetoric for fifty years, this is a watershed moment. The capture of one political party by full-blown conspiracy culture.

If not pointing that out on a site dedicated to examining conspiracy theories is the politically correct thing to do, well not really sure what to tell you. Especially since this isn't a Trump issue. This day has been coming. Trump's money and celebrity allowed the dam to break. But the water began rising after desegregation. It sped up dramatically when the Cold War ended. And it started burbling over the top of the dam when Obama was elected and the Great Recession took full hold.

My thoughts were expressed to Jason, who can take them or leave them. Political ideologies corrupt intellectual discussions and overwhelm them. My opinion, of course.

Perhaps those other boards are a better fit for you, and you should stay on them?

I will say this, Jason: the poll you're referencing is written in an obviously biased fashion. Because of the phrasing of the question, a sizeable chunk of that 20% may not oppose the end of slavery, but instead are expressing that they oppose the use of an executive order to do so. Which, in all truth, it actually didn't, seeing as how not one slave in the Union was freed, only slaves in the Confederacy. The 13th Amendment is what actually ended slavery.

Not that there isn't rampant racism amongst Trump supporters, but do be careful of falling for equally-reprehensible tactics on the part of opponents, please. It's not like there isn't plenty of openly-available ammunition against the Trumpettes.

I'm not sure, but isn't pretty much any bizarre or fringe religious theory just as believable as any 'mainstream' religion dogma?.

I find the Ancient Aliens theory to be somewhat more believable than the God Theory, mainstream or otherwise, just because it posits concrete "reasons" for man's supernatural beliefs over the years. (Although the probability of either being true is negligible.)

And as for Trump, I doubt he ever saw the inside of a church before he decided to run for office.

And after taking a shot at pretty much everyone, live and let live. Luckily people are free to believe anything they want to. If everyone was rational, Commander BS and the Treasure Squad would have a hard time making a living.

Well, I got in too late to add any original Trump bashing, so I'll comment briefly on the main point of this blog.

Leaving aside the silliness of an angelic plasma emitter (three words I never thought I would string together) the item in question is putatively a holy object to Muslims. Am I honestly supposed to believe that the Saudis would allow the Russians to remove a holy object from their country? Not a chance.

But if they did, all I can think is.. "Those poor, poor... penguins!"
