The words of children held mystical significance to the ancient Egyptians; their sun god Horus the Child (Har-pa-khered) points to his own mouth. The Greeks later adopted Harpocrates as their God of Silence, and that gesture came to mean “hush”. Aphrodite created roses as a gift to this god, persuading him to keep her many amorous indiscretions a secret. The Romans hung roses in banquet halls to remind revelers that utterances made “under the rose” (Latin: sub rosa) were strictly confidential. In the Middle Ages, roses were carved into the ceilings of council chambers, government meeting rooms, and Christian confessionals for the same reason.

FAA Closes Airspace Over El Paso
A shocking incident took place in Texas, this week when the FAA announced a shutdown of the airspace over the El Paso airport for a full ten days. The restriction was far more draconian even than those put in place in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks. The ban included med-evac ambulances, and prohibited aircraft from flying below 18,000 feet.
But after only a few hours, the FAA lifted the restrictions abruptly.
Initially, the stated reason for the ban was cartel drones. However, cartel drones by the hundreds are a constant presence along the US border with Mexico, where the city of El Paso is located.
It was later clarified that the shutdown stemmed from a disagreement between the FAA and the Pentagon on how to handle an experimental laser or directed-energy weapon that was reportedly deployed against cartel drones in the middle of the night. But official reports later indicated that the target turned out to be a common party balloon.
With the official narrative lacking much in the way of coherence—keeping with a recent pattern—the internet began to speculate that this strange story might be a cover-up for UAP activity. Internet speculation was further fueled by the nearby presence of NASA’s White Sands Test Facility, a hotbed of UAP sightings going back to the 1960s, and by multiple UAP sightings before and after the FAA shutdown.
With bizarre drone sightings becoming more and more common, and the explanations of officials become less and less credible, it feels as though we are building up to some kind of a breaking point. In all times and places, ruling classes endorse conceptions of reality that are economically convenient to them.
But when the economic systems break down, the representations of the ruling class tend to break down along with them. The insistence of the Catholic Church upon a geo-centric model of the solar system during the late Middle Ages is a prime case in point. The transition from Feudalism to Capitalism featured a paradigmatic shift to a helio-centric model of the solar system.
We should expect the eventual breakdown of Capitalism to feature another paradigmatic shift of similar magnitude. With wild stories about UAPs and Jeffrey Epstein circulating freely, it feels like we are once again becoming untethered from reality.
