Archetypal Events

Consider the following: The archetypal events alluded to by the Iron Gates fiction series are in our past. It is framed as a dystopian future because that is how it is graspable.

Imagine, if you will, the story of the Lord of the Rings, except Mordor wins. And this story is now entirely told from the point of view of the orcs, of the “men of the East,” under the influence of the necromancer, the single fiery eye at the top of a tower.

An eye floating above the tower, much like the eye that floats over the truncated pyramid of our modern society.

The events are archetypal, and so they can recur; they can come to life not only in the past and the future but also reference multiple events in the past. They fit the bill every time there is a total destruction of a place and then its torturous buildup by enemy forces. But that is not enough.

Consider a plausible interpretation

If we had to guess, we would say the events of Iron Gates started several generations in the past, perhaps in the so-called American Civil War (most likely a war of invasion and subjugation by corporation-sponsored armies against native militias), and are ongoing now.

To get this full picture, you would have to have read not just Iron Gates, but also Bluebird, and grasped what they are pointing to in context, particular, and implication. We also eagerly await the next installation in the series, which we hope will be a massive unfoldment and develation.

When one reads both tomes, it is pretty clear that the first tome is almost entirely world-building. The whole book is the setting up of the experience-first context for the events that will unfold later on. It is the foundation.

The meat and bones of the drama are in the second novel, Bluebird. And the great opus comes last, woven in the utmost secrecy, to a height of delirium and transformation of the reader, in a tome to surpass all others, and in the darkness bind them.

Information that a reader must bear in mind and must explore to grasp more, ranging deep and wide, is provided below. These are a few things that must be seriously explored to get some of the more exoteric context of the Iron Gates series:

MK-ULTRA/Artichoke/Bluebird and its unmentioned reach and coverups: Satanic Ritual Abuse, Australia The Family Cult (Raynor Carey Johnson & Anne Hamilton-Byrne). Do not shirk away from the suspicious work of Fritz Springmier either, for it can be useful, even as it may contain misinformation (it’s hosted on the CIA website, for Satan’s sake).
Communist Party of Campuchea, Khmer Rouge, Angkar, Brother Number One.
Sidney Gottlieb as “poisoner in chief”
Witch cults, their cruel persecution, and also their coverup. It can be useful to look into both the maligned theories of Margaret Murray through the lenses of Emma Wilby’s work as well as Carlo Ginzburg’s The Night Battles: Witchcraft and Agrarian Cults in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries.
The ‘alien’ as a planetary native with either advanced psychic abilities or technology so advanced it looks like magic to us, as put forward by eminent researchers such as Jacques Vallée in his Alien Contact Trilogy.
For those crying about the explicitness of the novel series in terms of depicted (accusatory, revelatory) pedophilia, we advise you to look at how normalized and worshipped De Sade has become, propped up by a perverted academia that, through Bataille, has placed it by the side of Nietzsche (ever the target of the corruptors). While the work of Iron Gates is to show you the world behind the veil, the work of De Sade is the ritualistic self-indulgence of the perverted aristocracy in acts of cruelty and abuse for their own amusement and psychic satisfaction. There is a hidden, unspoken element in there, too, which those informed in the occult will likely catch.

Do you start to see how the suppression of this fiction has nothing to do with the perversion depicted and all to do with a crude disclosure of metaphysic and anti-historical reality and facts obscured by the masters of euphemistic manipulation at the head of your society?

The Sound ANG

The ‘organization’ in Iron Gates references a very specific set of ideas, a dark bent, a concrete mindset, and specific aims. The destruction of nature is unveiled in Iron Gates as much more than for profit and rather for metaphysical evil reasons.

Etymologically, ‘the organization’ points to the heart of the Communist Party of Campuchea, the Khmer Rouge, which went in its clandestine form by the name of Angkar, meaning “(the) organization.”

Allow yourself, by way of esoteric flexibility, to notice the curious similiarity of the word Angkar to the dark realm of Angmar in Tolkien. We only point this out as a sound curiosity and allude to no conspiracy or ‘concrete’ relation.

We remind the reader that languages are the organic evolution of sound symbols, and in their natural state they have a lot to do with how we reverberate with the physicality of the emission, of the repercussion of the vibration on us. The language is not the writing; it is the sound.

The sound ANG has an interesting cross-cultural etymology. In English itself, we have the words anger and angst, the central sound for hunger. Feel free to peruse and tie things as your mind and instinct allow.

Old English ang-

narrow, tight, constrained
angbrēost "tightness in the chest, shortness of breath, asthma"
vexed, troubled, anxious
angmōd ― sad, sorrowful, anxious
oppressive, severe, painful, cruel
angnæġl ― corn on the foot, hangnail
angset ― pimple, cyst, breakout, boil
