A Curated Content Blog of Current Links and Past Events
A series of blog entries covering the Collateral Accounts. If you don’t know what they are, you will after you read this. This, in my view, is really what all the fighting, lying, cheating and stealing world-wide is all about.

Life is absurd, that detail can be the start of a great many things.
Source: Albert Camus on why accepting absurdity is the start of a fruitful life – Big Think
If you haven’t noticed, life is absurd. We humans strive to find meaning in the world, and the world responds with cold indifference. This contrast, often made evident when senseless and meaningless tragedy occurs, is inherent to most people’s relationship to the world.
While the idea that life has no inherent meaning can be jarring even to the point of despair, many philosophers who studied the problem think it doesn’t have to be that way. Albert Camus event went further, arguing that “accepting the absurdity of everything around us is one step, a necessary experience: it should not become a dead end. It arouses a revolt that can become fruitful.”
But what does that mean? More importantly, how do we go about doing that?
Camus considered a variety of ways to deal with this absurdity throughout his writings. However, he noted that most of them didn’t deal with the problem as much as they try to get around it.
He begins by proclaiming that “there is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide.” However, trying to deal with the meaninglessness of the universe by quitting doesn’t solve the problem at all; it just prevents us from having to deal with it.
He then considers turning to other, transcendental sources for meaning. However, he rejects this as a kind of “philosophical suicide,” that also tries to sidestep the problem of dealing with an absurd universe by imposing a system on it, like that of Christianity or Communism, which will only end up running into the meaninglessness of the universe again and again while also keeping us from working things out for ourselves.
This leaves one option: to embrace the absurdity of the universe as a simple fact. The person who can do this without falling into despair becomes what Camus calls an “absurd hero.”
The Templar Tunnel is an underground passageway located in the city of Acre, in what is now Israel. This tunnel was built by the Knights Templar when the city was under the rule of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
…..
The siege of Acre lasted until 1191 and resulted in the city’s capture by the Crusaders. The city became the new capital of the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Templars were able to establish their new headquarters there. The southwestern sector of the city was allocated to the Templars and it was here that the knights constructed their main fortress. A 13 th century Templar wrote that this fortress was the strongest one in the city and that its entrance was protected by two towers with 8.5 meters (28 feet) thick walls. On each side of these towers were two smaller ones and each tower was topped by a gilded lion.

Violette Morris, a French female athlete and frequent patron of Le Monocle, became an early recruit of the Nazi gestapo to spy on her own country. While her friends, community and countrymen were being oppressed, arrested and sent to their deaths, Violette benefitted from the German occupation, living peacefully in a houseboat on the River Seine, courtesy of Adolf Hitler himself, who had personally invited the champion weightlifter to the Berlin Olympics in 1936. She gave Germany partial plans of the Maginot Line, detailed plans of strategic points within the city of Paris, and schematics of the French army’s main tank. Her plans were integral to the German invasion of Paris in 1940.

Note: The history of the Khazarians, specifically the Khazarian Mafia (KM), the World’s largest Organized Crime Syndicate that the Khazarian oligarchy morphed into by their deployment of Babylonian Money-Magick, has been nearly completely excised from the history books.The present day KM knows that it cannot operate or exist without abject secrecy, and therefore has spent a lot of money having its history excised from the history books in order to prevent citizens of the World from learning about its “Evil beyond imagination”, that empowers this World’s largest Organized Crime Cabal.The authors of this article have done their best to resurrect this lost, secret history of the Khazarians and their large International Organized Crime Syndicate, best referred to as the Khazarian Mafia (KM) and make this history available to the World via the Internet, which is the new Gutenberg Press.
