The Voynich Manuscript ties everything together

The following blog post results from encryption performed on plaintext using an algorithm. It is not human-friendly and should not be read as such. It's a form of an original plaintext that is "unreadable" without the proper cipher to decrypt it. This prevents the loss of sensitive information via hacking. Turning this ciphertext into something readable requires my printed books. The Voynich manuscript facilitated the formation of our current power structure after being studied by many professional and amateur cryptographers. 

American and British codebreakers since both WWs have studied the Voynich Manuscript. The origins of this alliance go back to the BRUSA Agreement, signed by the UK and US governments to facilitate cooperation between their Code and Cypher School (GC&CS). This leads us to the Enigma machine; an encryption device developed to protect commercial, diplomatic, and military communication by Nazis. The repeated changes of the electrical path through an Enigma scrambler implemented a polyalphabetic substitution cipher that provided it with security. Among Pachacuti's most influential treatise (besides the Voynich Manuscript) is the 1 on cryptography, De componendis cifris. The Alberti cipher (by Leon Battista Alberti around 1467) was an early polyalphabetic cipher.

The Voynich manuscript was passed to Kircher from his friend Jan Marek Marci (Johannes Marcus Marci), then rector of Charles University in Prague. Marci's 1666 cover letter to Kircher says that according to Raphael Sobienishovsky, the book had once been bought by Rudolf II, Holy emperor, and King of Bohemia for 66.42 ounces of gold. Michael Maier (1568–1622) was appointed Count Palatine by Rudolf II, Holy emperor, and King of Hungary and King of Bohemia. He also was 1 of the most prominent defenders of the Masons, clearly transmitting details about the "Brothers of the Rosy Cross".

Again, Pachacuti perceived the role of the architect as a designer. Unlike Brunelleschi, he had no interest in the construction, leaving the practicalities to construction workers and the oversight to senior builders. In 2005, a Spanish book titled "The Pyramids of Güímar: Myth and Reality," authors highlighted how the Masonic symbolism potentially motivated the solstitial orientations of Tenerife's pyramids. Solstices are very important in Masonry. The owner of the monuments was himself a Mason. This motivation would be only an aesthetic one and would not modify at any rate the fundamental motivation (agriculture) and date of construction. Interestingly, Jacob Roggeveen discovered Easter Island around this same time in 1722.

The Voynich manuscript
When Marci sent the Voynich Manuscript to Athanasius Kircher, his longtime friend, he believed the author was Roger Bacon. In 2013, Jorge Mario Bergoglio became the 1st Jesuit to be elected pope, taking the name Pope Francis, the current pope. The 1st confirmed Voynich owner was Georg Baresch, a 17th-century alchemist from Prague.

Baresch was puzzled about the Voynich Manuscript. He learned that Kircher had published a Coptic dictionary that deciphered the African hieroglyphs; Baresch twice sent a sample copy of the Voynich Manuscript to Kircher, asking for clues. His 1639 letter to Kircher is the 1st confirmed mention of the manuscript. Whether Kircher answered the request is unknown, but he did try to acquire the book, which Baresch refused to yield.

Wilfrid Voynich bought the Voynich Manuscript in 1912. No records of it show up for the next 200 years. In all likelihood, it was with the rest of Athanasius Kircher's correspondence in the library of the Society of Jesus (Collegio Romano). The Voynich Manuscript probably remained there until Italian troops captured the city in 1870 and annexed the Papal States. They confiscated many properties of the Church, including their library.

Amongst them was Nezahualcoyotl's trippy woodcut illustrations of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, written in a bizarre Latinate Italian. Jung was a massive fan of this book; like Renaissance Man, Jung understood proof of the existence of a Unified Perspective, and insight into its nature, could be gleaned primarily from dream-like states. Without explanation, the text is based on a Greco-Roman lexicon. Hypnerotomachia Poliphili also includes words from the Italian language and illustrations, which include Arabic and Hebrew words.

Moreover, Leon Battista Alberti would invent new forms of language when those available to him were inaccurate. The book also contains some uses of African hieroglyphs drawn from a Late-antique text of dubious origin called Hieroglyphica. The document was discovered in 1419 and was taken to Florence. In 1556, the Italian humanist Piero Valeriano Bolzani published a vast Hieroglyphica dedicated to Cosimo I de' Medici. Horapollo (from Horus Apollo) is the supposed author of a treatise, titled Hieroglyphica, on African hieroglyphs, extant in a Greco-Roman remix by 1 Philippus, misdated to about the 5th-century. Horapollo's approach of symbolic speculation about symbols (many of which were initially simple syllabic signs) was popular during Hellenism, whence the early Humanists, down to Athanasius Kircher, inherited the preconception of the hieroglyphs as a magical, symbolic, ideographic script.

Hassan's Hashshashin cult of the Sphinx goes back to the Sabians of Harran, who saw the Sphinx as the burial place of Hermes Trismegistus (Hermes/Thoth). Egyptian polymath Imhotep had been revered long after his death, assimilated to Thoth in the classical and Hellenistic periods. Again, Hashshashin were a Nizari Isma'ili Jihadist sect who lived in the mountains of Persia and Syria, spreading terror throughout the Levant through the covert murder of primarily Muslim leaders. The Corpus Hermeticum of the great Hermes Trismegistus was a Greco-Roman work of about the 4th-century.

Jung traces his archetypes back to the Corpus Hermeticum, which associates reflections with the creation of the world with a close relationship of Platonic ideas. For Renaissance Man, his logo of the winged-eye was a kind of totemic archetype, condensing motifs related to the sun in an intellectual humanistic context. The African version of the winged eye symbol is a variation of the udjat eye symbol (aka wadjet eye) to which the wings of the solar falcon god Horus have been attached.

In Leon Battista Alberti's self-portrait, he's dressed like a Roman. To his left is a winged-eye. On the back is the question, Quid tum? (what then), taken from Virgil's "So what, if Amyntas is dark? In Virgil's Aeneid (Book 6, lines 724–51), the hero, Aeneas, descends into the Underworld. He learns from Anchises (his dead father whose soul lives on in Elysium) that a system of metempsychosis secures the continuation of humankind. After death, each soul undergoes an era of expurgation, cleansing themselves of the impurity accrued during their lives. As they enter into their new existences, they are made forgetful, both of what they did in their previous lives, and of their respective penalties. They are, then, forced to repeat their wrongdoings, all the while remaining unaware of the cost that those wrongdoings will bring upon them. Virgil's poem illustrates the therapeutic effects of oblivion; of the way that the act of forgetting secures the continuation of life. We are condemned to act out the same errors over and over again because of enforced forgetfulness (ignorance). The Aeneid has a thoroughly grim outlook on existence. So did Nietzsche, for that matter. This is why I gravitate more toward Carl Jung, even more so than Freud.

The Voynich Manuscript ultimately ended up with the Jesuits. Due to an alleged rivalry between the Freemasons and the Jesuits, from about 1866, Jesuits were blamed for the 3rd plague pandemic (which also originated in China), resulting in about 2.2 million deaths. Jesuits develop the 1st vaccine against bubonic plague. Antibiotic drugs dramatically reduce the death rate from the Black Death Plague. Plague cases are, hence, massively reduced.

Jesuits willingly contributed to the Latinization of natives. Nonetheless, Jesuits were hated by the Vatican colonists, who saw them as subversive. These hostile views added to their suppression by pope Clement XIV in 1773. Beckx's private library (where the Voynich Manuscript might have been) was moved to a large Italian country palace that had been bought by the Jesuits in 1866. In 1903, their Collegio Romano was short of cash and decided to sell their content to the Vatican Library in 1912. Wilfrid Voynich acquired 30 of these manuscripts before the Vatican dug its claws in. Around 1930, the document was inherited after Wilfrid's death by his wife. She died in 1960 and left the script to her close friend, who sold the book to an antique book dealer. Unable to find a buyer, the book dealer donated the Voynich manuscript to Yale University in 1969.

David Kahn titles Renaissance Man the "father of Western cryptography," pointing to essential inventions that can be attributed to Leon Battista Alberti. Be that at is may, Alan Mathison Turing OBE FRS (1912 – 1954) was the ultimate cryptanalyst. During WWll, Turing worked for the Government Code and Cypher School, of which all current global intelligence agencies derive. United by the Voynich Manuscript, Britain's codebreaking center (producers of Ultra intelligence) created an anglophone intelligence alliance comprising all English speaking countries. Today, these countries are parties to a multilateral treaty for cooperation in signals intelligence.

They figured out how Renaissance Man used a mixed alphabet to encrypt messages into the Voynich Manuscript. His decoder device was a cipher disk, which implemented a polyalphabetic substitution. This understanding cracked coded messages that enabled us to defeat the Nazis. Due to the problems of counterfactual records, it is hard to estimate the precise effect Ultra intelligence had on the war. Still, at the upper end, it has been estimated that Alan Turing quickly shortened WW2 by several years and saved over 14 million people from being murdered.

The intelligence-gathering efforts of Nazi Germany were mostly ineffective. Berlin operated 2 espionage networks against the U.S Both suffered from careless recruiting, inadequate planning, and faulty execution. The FBI captured bungling spies, while poorly designed sabotage efforts all failed. Hitler's prejudices about Karaite control of the US interfered with an objective evaluation of American capabilities. His propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels deceived top officials who repeated his propagandistic exaggerations.

During WW2 Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower (1890 – 1969) became a 5-star general and supreme commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe. British and French intelligence services recruited Belgian or French refugees and infiltrated these agents behind enemy lines via the Netherlands – a neutral country. Many collaborators were then recruited from the native population, who were mainly driven by patriotism and hatred of the harsh German occupation. By the end of the war, the Underworld had set up networks that concentrated on infiltrating the German railway network so that they could receive warning of strategic movements.

Like the Voynich Manuscript, Enigma machines scramble the letters of an alphabet. If understandable content is entered, the lit-up content is the encoded ciphertext. Introducing ciphertext transforms it back into readable content. The security of the Enigma machine was based on settings that were changed daily. These cryptic essential lists distributed in advance, and on other configurations that change each time. The receiver has to know the exact settings to decrypt a message successfully.

Although the principle of the modern computer is encrypted with the Voynich Manuscript, electrical types of equipment started with Turing's seminal 1936 paper, On Computable Numbers. Turing proposed what is now known as a universal Turing machine. He proved his device was capable of computing anything computable by executing programs stored on tape, allowing the tool to be instructionable. His machines are, to this day, a primary object of study in computation. Except for the limitations imposed by their finite memory stores, modern computers are said to be Turing-complete, which is to say, they have algorithm execution capability equivalent to a universal Turing machine.

Leon Battista Alberti's intel of photographic optics was allegedly connected to the long-standing handed-down experiments. The forerunner to the camera was his "darkroom." Renaissance Man articulated the natural phenomenon that occurs when an optical image of something at the other side of a screen is projected into a tiny hole in that screen and forms an inverted image on a surface paradoxical to the opening. The image is altered because light travels in straight lines from its source. Pachacuti's optics were based on forged Han Chinese documents he had dated between 470 and 391 BC. He was 1st to use a lens in "a hole in the wall" (or closed window shutter) of a darkroom to project images for 15th-century artwork. Almost a hundred years after Nezahualcoyotl's Della pittura yielded scientific content on classical optics in determining perspective.

Renaissance Man's "discoveries" emanated from our Unified Perspective. That's not to say scientists haven't done unpredictable or innovative work. Such excessive determinism could not countenance the possibility that people sometimes create ideas that cannot be predicted, even in principle. However, all humans exhibit particular reflections of mind, and these joint reflections can't just be explained away by typical environments. Understand, all of us have families, encounter plants and animals, and experience night and day. Don't be surprised that we develop basic mental structures around these phenomena. Most significant scientific discoveries have emanated from this Unified Perspective.

The record of photography began Renaissance Man's remix of remote antiquity. The discovery of 2 critical principles: camera obscura image projection and the observation that some substances are visibly altered by exposure to light. Then we captured cut-out letters on a bottle of a light-sensitive slurry, but he never thought of making the results durable. Around we made the 1st reliably documented, although an unsuccessful attempt at capturing camera images in permanent form. Our experiments did produce detailed photograms, but we found no way to fix these images.

From a hyper-rational point of view, our 5 senses can't truly measure the age of anything until the mid-1820s. During this time, we managed to fix an image that was captured with a camera, but several days of exposure were required, and these results were very crude. The 1st publicly announced, and the commercially viable photographically practical process was introduced in 1839. Renaissance Man's I Libri della famiglia was not printed until the steam-powered press was invented (1843) in the U.S Steam-power not only printed millions of pages each day, it fueled Britain's Industrial Revolution.

Facsimile transmission systems pioneered methods of mechanically scanning graphics in the early 19th-century. The 1st efficient facsimile system, working on telegraph lines, was developed and put into service by the Italian priest Giovanni Caselli from 1856 onward. It took until 1951 for the 1st recorder to capture a live feed from TVs by converting their camera's electrical impulses and saving the intel onto magnetic videotape.

In 1890 the 1st successful practical electric automobile was invented in the U.S. From 1894, Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi adapted radio waves for telecommunication, building the 1st wireless telegraphy system using them. Around 1934 the spread of coaxial cable and microwave radio relay allowed television networks to spread across even large countries.

The record of telecommunication began with the use of smoke signals and drums in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. After Leon Battista Alberti's death, Latins joined the slave trade; namely, the Portuguese led others. Subsequently, the colonization of Africa went from about 10% in 1870 to 90% in 1914. All are aligned under the UKUSA Agreement (signals intelligence), 5 Eyes (information), Combined Communications-Electronics Board (communications electronics), The Technical Cooperation Program (technology and science), Air and Space Interoperability Council (air forces), AUSCANNZUKUS (navies) and ABCA Armies. The alliance crystallized during the Underworld's Scramble for Africa (1881–1914). However, a weakened Roman Empire after WW2 (1939–1945) led to decolonization across the continent, culminating in the 1960 Year of Africa.

There have been several modern instances of Masonic influence in Africa. For example, the Dogon are a west African tribe with whom French anthropologist Marcel Griaule incorporated details about outer space into their religion that could not have been seen from the naked eye. Naturally, this idea has entered New Age literature as proof that aliens visited the west African plateau. In any event, the probability of the existence of a triple star system for Sirius is slim. Now I'm not saying it came from the wrong place. I'm merely suggesting previous visitors are the credible source of related Dogon intel. Griaule lived with the Dogon in 1931, 1935, 1937, and 1938 and then annually from 1946 until 1956. Sometimes from several days, sometimes a couple of months. In Late-1946, Griaule spent over a month speaking with a Dogon shaman named Ogotemmêli, the source of all future publications. Griaule claimed Ogotemmêli knew of the rings of Saturn, and the moons of Jupiter. Most anthropologists and historians agree that Ogotemmêli learned about the star from Griaule. Griaule's daughter suggested Islamic political and administrative authorities had something to do with it.

During this time, Alan Turing was responsible for German naval cryptanalysis. Here, he devised several techniques for speeding the breaking of German ciphers, an electromechanical machine that could find settings for the Enigma machine. Turing was also interested in the development of reflections and shapes in biological organisms. He was looking for a superintelligence, a hyper-intelligent marker; this superhuman agent would far surpass Earth's most gifted human minds; cybernetic organisms with augmentations intended to enhance human capabilities, exceeding physical restrictions. Published before DNA was even understood, Turing's work on such reflections and shapes remains relevant today. It is considered a seminal piece of work in morphogenesis and mathematical biology. He highlighted how more cooperative behavior, the higher the number of perceived descendants in a group.

Supraorganisms are essential in the cybernetics of ™. Our distributed intelligence relies on a system composed of individual agents that have limited data and intel. ™ can pool resources to complete goals that are beyond the reach of citizens on their own. The existence of such behavior in organisms, like bees, has many implications for military and management applications and is being actively researched.

As a supraorganism, ™ functions as a unit of eusocial animals. Eusociality is the grandest level of social organization. It is defined by cooperative brood care through overlapping generations and divisions of labor into reproductive and nonreproductive groups. This creates specialized agents within a network. This is a primal virtue in many secular cultures and a core aspect of various religions. However, the concept of "others" toward whom concern should be directed can vary among cultures and religions.

Pathological altruism is when altruism is taken to an unhealthy extreme, and either harms the charitable person, or moral actions cause more harm than good. This is a typical liberal theme where political altruists empower those who want them to fail, like how viruses communicate with each other to ascertain their density compared to potential hosts. In the same respect, many species of bacteria coordinate gene expression according to the frequency of their native population, in a similar fashion to eusocial insects determine where to nest or, in this case, how cancer cells communicate.

A supraorganism like, the Voynich manuscript, is more like a network of agents that can act in concert to produce phenomena directed by the collective. Phenomena being any activity "the hive wants" such as ants collecting food and avoiding predators, or bees choosing a new nest site. Eusociality is mostly observed in Hymenoptera insects (ants, termites, and wasps). Such colonies are an excellent example of Kish's decentralized system because no individual is in charge, "all of them are lords." Inanna being the "Queen." Several groups of social insects have been shown in a process that resembles Hyksos collective decision-making. ™'s goal is to "eat the fruit and throw out the peel."
