Forewarned
Hermes Runs the Game emerges from a series of blogs on our Logosophia Books website, called The Geminid Reality, which this book was originally entitled. These blogs began to look at the lockdown events post-March 11th 2020 as an inverted ritual of some sort. That day—the ninth anniversary of the Fukushima meltdown—the World Health Organization declared an official pandemic, and, eyebrow-raising, the first cases of an actual deadly flu pandemic were reported on that same date in the US in 1918. The blogs were focused, as you might expect from the title, on a dual aspect informing so many of the inexplicable false flag and hybrid events we all have lived through, especially since the seminal event on 11 September, 2001. The calendrics of 3-11 and 9-11 being exactly six months apart, antipodal points of the year, seems too obvious to be non-intentional.
For years, one particular focus of my writing and podcasts1 with Krys unpack the false dichotomy always being presented to us, for example, republican-democrat, conservative-liberal, creationism-big bang, choice-murder, fascism-communism, good-evil, two genders or hundreds, and on, especially in terms of our embedded ancient Greek origins. Countless others have understood that a large part of the language of the control system presents us with only two options, to better drive people apart.
The reaction to these blog posts was overwhelmingly favorable, but the derogatory ones were heartbreakingly sad, especially as they came from those who were previously considered peers or colleagues or dear friends. This is nothing compared to the vitriol and worse endured by any public figure speaking out against the technocratic medical control agenda, or those who have lost beloved ones to the dis-human cult bankrolling it, or those enduring inhuman isolation in prison for daring to question the authoritarian narrative. Still, being accused of murdering grandmothers and children is never fun. And that was just by refusing to wear a mask. Sometimes I wish I could be that dangerous.
Although I could certainly be accused of harboring a Kassandra complex, there were so many physicians and researchers giving accurate information that countered the pharma-Fauci-media perjure engine, that it would be more accurate to call it an ignored and censored Kassandra chorus. Princess and priestess of Troy, Kassandra was fated to predict the future with deadly accuracy, but no one would listen. She was a priestess of Apollo, who gave her the gift. Either she reneged on her promise of sexual favors to Apollo, or Apollo gave the foresight to her as an enticement, but something changed her mind. Like maybe seeing the future of what would happen if she physically united with a god. One tradition has her taken as a slave by the leader of the Greek Trojan War armies, Agamemnon, and they are both slain on the return home by his wife Clytemnestra—who is also sister of infamous Helen. Virgil is kinder to Kassandra in the Aeneid, where her visionary powers are restored. This points out an essential lesson from the ancients nearly lost: different versions of the tale are simultaneously true.

When we need to comprehend what stands-under the landscape of decaying presuppositions we inhabit, we have to go back to the West’s particular inception with the ancient Greeks. Roman Mercury is the presiding deity of dual Gemini, and Hermes the earlier form, later conflated with Thoth as Trismegistus in Alexandria. It was clear that Hermes as the trickster, psychopomp (guide of souls), and arbiter of travel, borders, technology and communication, wove his way into the fabric of our being in some grand and ubiquitous way. It is said in many ancient texts that if you turn towards the divine, the divine turns towards you. The minute I focused upon Hermes there was granted a ‘packed thought form’, a numinous flash of inchoate understanding, the unraveling of which is this book. In it I strive to cohere to Aletheia, the Greek embodiment and goddess of truth (the Roman version is Veritas), and to not drink from lethe, the lake of forgetfulness or oblivion force-fed us at not only every incarnation, but from every fetid media shallow well. Aletheia as ‘uncovering’ operates nearly the same as apocalypsis, ‘unveiling’, and certainly we are experiencing what apocalypse really looks like.
We are living through an uncovering of what has been hidden, our true history and chronology, leaking through the dikes that corporate, academic and political control flunkeys have sloppily bricked about it.2 The internet is the trickster coyote pawing the walls, and Hermes runs that cyberspace info-flow.
Although there is a good deal of documented medical evidence included in this book, the actual focus here is to explore the meaning, reality and execution of traditional sacrifice, how it was subverted and inverted upon us during the covid years (still continuing, and maybe soon to return via another pox on our homes, currently with the ‘bird flu’ moniker3), and how they are trying to make us the sacrifice. The last part of Hermes Runs the Game revisits all this as inverted initiation, beginning with Plato’s transmutation of the ancient mystery traditions into rationalism, and at last unveiling the light of the mysteries as best as we can within the pages of a book. The book is suffused with classical illustrations, the plumbing of which augments and amplifies the text.
Inevitably, many will conclude that this book advocates for animal sacrifice, or some variety of a return to it, because it relates positive aspects of the archaic Greek sacrificial ritual: connection to deity, community gathering and purpose. And actual food, blessed. Now, some sort of ‘archaic revival’4 is impossible from every spiritual, cultural and structural level. A recent New York Post story reports on animal sacrifice on the rise in Queens, and it is not pretty.5 This aches my heart, as it happens in the area I grew up, riding a bicycle fearlessly everywhere, Ozone Park (early 60s to mid 70s) and Howard Beach. What these particular worshippers of Kali, practitioners of voudoun6 and other lost tribes do is for personal gain and power over others, not for community and cultural uplift.7 Animals are disrespected and discarded and indeed suffer. As this is written, 20,000 Haitian ‘dreamers’, from the most traumatized country in existence,8 have ‘randomly’ found their way to Springfield Ohio, and are stealing people’s pet cats, and birds, hanging them from trees and devouring them.9 This, our trauma, is all by design to generate demoralization and helplessness. Anyone still believing that politicians in DC, billionaire techies, Hollywood luminaries, ‘rap’ stars, and Noachian families hiding within their walled manors, would never engage in such twisted behavior, or further, engage in sadistic ritual child rape, lives gravely naïve and misled.
The ‘encouraging’ news has every word about covid and its treatment, that people called by the Biden administration the ‘disinformation dozen’, turning out to be true,10 even by scientific studies. Mis and disinformation does not mean untrue, it is simply data contrary to government mendacity. Which turns out to be whenever they open their maw. Censorship now rings out as the DNC platform. Beyond censorship lies incarceration, for example Reiner Fuellmich, still isolated in German prison for simply laying out the facts and real research into this covid psyop. Where are Themis and Ma’at, deliverers of Justice, when most needed?
Some scholars believe that almost all of the meat eaten in ancient Greece came from a sacrificial ritual. The animal was dressed, garlanded, coddled and sung to. The entire animal was shared with the community for food, with the rest burned to please and communicate with the deity offered to. Everything we have eaten our entire lives has involved a sacrifice, all life requires death to continue, from cabbage to cow. The question is the awareness and conscious level of the death, and life it lived, because we are indeed the vibrational level of what we eat.
If we are not advocating a return to some fictive halcyon age, why write about it? Very simply, there lies something sacred at the onset of western civilization, a “sounding note”, in the words of author Peter Kingsley, a note once transmuted into lyrical poetry and chant in dactylic hexameter, now distortedly blasting in chakra-busting beats and AI vocal frequencies only an archon could love. There is no redemption, no savior, no fixing it. As we approach the end of this age, we need to find where that inceptive sound vibrates, which is the same place as from whence its flickering light emanates. It is within us, and needs to be carried and protected as best as we can while the twisting winds buffet and try to extinguish it. Only then, can what is next, the future no remote viewer can espy, will be an uplift from, and not a recapitulation of, where we sit. This is true alchemy, the tradition of transmutation through Hermes Trismegistus.
