THE ROBOTIC CHAIN-SAW WIELDING GOAT

I've been trying to sound the alarm about the "return of the old gods" for a long time. Back in 2011, for example, I published a book that was one of many books I've written dealing with the idea of "paleoancient" civilizations with very advanced technology. "Paleoancient" was a rather redundant word I coined in my first such book on such topics, The Giza Death Star, a word deliberately redundant to stress the extreme ancientness of the times I believed to be involved, i.e., far older than recorded history, and a dimly remembered past lost in the mists of mythical pre-history. One may, for convenience's sake, call it "Atlantis." In 2011, the specific book that I published with my friend Scott D. deHart was The Grid of the Gods: The Aftermath of the Cosmic War and the Physics of the Pyramid Peoples.

In the introduction of that book, in its opening paragraph in fact, I dealt directly with this theme of the return of the old gods via the mechanisms and techniques of modern science:

Modern science (I wrote) is but a technique of the imagination to bring into reality the operations of the magical intellect and the mythologies of the ancients, with consistent and predictable regularity. This implies, therefore, that the magical intellect encountered so often in ancient texts, myths, and monuments is, in fact, the product of a decayed science, but a science nonetheless. Much of modern physics may be viewed as but Hermetic metaphysics with "topological" equations, and by a similar process of examination, much of modern genetics may be viewed as but the myths of Sumer, Babylon, and even the Mayans, given flesh by the techniques of genetic engineering. (Joseph P. Farrell with Scott D deHart, The Grid of the Gods [Adventures Unlimited Press, 2011], p. iii.)

Fifteen years later these types of predictions and hermeneutical templates have found yet another fulfillment in the following story shared by V.T., M.C., and many others of you (with my gratitude), for it seems a Silicon Valley company in Loonyfornia (where else?) has now constructed a six-and-a-half feet tall robotic black goat, wielding a chain saw, a demonic apparition - as the author of that article argues:

Silicon Valley Just Built a Chainsaw Wielding Goat Demon Robot... (I’m not kidding.)

The author of the article, "The Wise Wolf", begins by dismissing the idea that all this demonological reference is merely a marketing scheme:

Okay, before we get into the “goat demon” robot with the chainsaw we need some background first. I’ve been tracking a trend for the last five years where Silicon Valley and other tech types keep naming robots and other high-tech devices after demons, fallen angels, you name it. At first I figured it was just edgy marketing. But after digging into these dozen or so CITY SIZE AI data centers being planned that all just happen to be named after DEMONS and PAGAN GODS I’ve reached a conclusion.

When Elon Musk said at an MIT event back in 2014 that “with AI we are summoning the demon” he wasn’t just being cute. He was laughing at the rest of us powerless to do a damn thing while the richest people on the planet literally summon demons from Hell and stuff them into robot bodies because that’s clearly going to work out great for everybody.

Idiots.

He then moves to consider a "tenebrae" festival (and no, not the traditional Lenten service of the Roman Catholic Church before it, too, went cookoo at Vatican II):

Back in October of 2024 the city of Toulouse in France threw itself a big three day street festival. Giant mechanical robots the size of a house paraded through downtown while families lined the sidewalks with kids up on their shoulders. Sounds charming, right? Bring the whole family to the Gates of Hell!

The festival was called La Porte des Ténèbres. (That translates to The Gate of Darkness.) The star of the show was a five story tall half woman, half scorpion, bare-breasted monster named Lilith. (The child-eating demoness from Jewish folklore.) The city’s own printed program calls her Lilith and describes her as the one who “controls the passage between our world and that of the underworld.” This wasn’t just a case of using an interesting sounding name for their star attraction. This was purposeful. This was deliberate. There is no whitewashing their intent.

It explains she was freed by Hades and now wanders from city to city harvesting damned souls while she works on prying open a doorway to the ‘other side’. (An event celebrating a child-eating whore demon trying to rip into Hell and free her friends. Kids watched this.) Her supporting cast was a Minotaur (Moloch?) and a giant demonic spider. The poster showed burning churches and walking skeletons. (Emphasis added)

And France is worried about Muslims!?!? Somehow, I doubt very many Muslims attended this parade. That aside, it's that detection of "purposeful intent" that makes the author's argument so compelling, and it's easy to see why it's such a compelling argument: someone took the time to build the monstrosity, and then name it in such a fashion.

The Catholic Archbishop of Toulouse was not amused:

The Archbishop of Toulouse was apparently the only adult left in France. He took one look at what was scheduled for his streets and consecrated the whole city to the Sacred Heart of Jesus to protect it from what he called ‘dark threats’.

Neither were the Protestants:

The French Protestant Federation publicly backed him, and if you know French church politics you know Protestants siding with a Catholic archbishop is basically a miracle worthy of its own feast day. His reward was getting written up as a superstitious old man who was scared of puppets. (Emphasis in the original)

But in case you're not convinced yet that this naming convention of demons is not just a marketing gimick, the author points out that the Pentagon names one of its robot projects after the Greek Titan "Atlas", who warred against the gods. "You don't pick a name like that because it sounds cool," the author opines. "A name like that is a mission statement." The Pentagon is "telling you what these machines are for," they're for a war against of the gods.

And that brings is to the chainsaw-wielding goat robot, and to the author's remarks about it:

One of my researchers fired a picture into my inbox this week with no warning, and I’m man enough to admit I flinched. A company nobody had ever heard of, called Satyress, out of Auburn California, went viral with a machine called Threehalves. It’s the picture at the top of this article. Stop reading for a second and actually look at it. Let it look back at you.

Every inch of it is jet black and I don’t mean sleek Apple product black. I mean the flat lightless black of the shape standing at the foot of your bed at 3am black. And up top, where every other robotics company bolts a boring sensor box, these people lovingly sculpted the head of a black goat with horns.

And the photos are a crime scene of intent. In the company’s own promotional shots this thing stands in a forest clearing next to a pickup truck gripping a full size chainsaw. Another shot has it staring through a glass office door from the dark side of the glass like the world’s worst job applicant. Rescue robots get photographed carrying stretchers. This thing got a horror movie cinematographer.

Here the author sharpens his argument that this is not mere marketing, but deliberate intention by pointing out that while billed as a "search and rescue robot", the mere fact that its camera enclosure is designed to resemble a goat's head - a symbol long associated in western culture with the devil himself - is intention, for any such enclosure would have sufficed if the intention were merely rescue, and not message:

The company says it’s for search and rescue in wildfires and collapsed buildings, and I’ll be fair for exactly one paragraph, because the four legged part is real engineering. Quadrupeds don’t tip over on rubble. NASA built a centaur shaped robot years ago and Europe built one for disaster response and both of those had boxes for heads. Cameras in boxes. Because a box is what the job requires and nobody ever screamed at them.

Which means the goat head is the message. No wildfire requires horns and no collapsed building requires a robot that looked like it stepped straight out of the gates of cybernetic Hell. A human being opened a CAD program and sculpted a black goat’s skull vertex by vertex. Another human approved it and a third paid the invoice. And in case anyone was tempted to call it an accident they named the company SATYRESS after the goat people of pagan myth. Nimrod’s son Tammuz was sometimes described as appearing like a human-goat hybrid with black fur. Gee, I wonder if it was a happy coincidence that this company made the mecha-satan version of the Tyrant King of Babylon’s kid?

I agree. In fact, as I pointed out in that opening paragraph of The Grid of the Gods, I've been saying similar things for some time.  Why then did I share this blog with its very weird article about a goat-baphomet,chain-saw-wielding robot?

Very simply, because it's nice to have some company, and that someone else is noticing the very same thing I wrote about fifteen years ago, and that others like C.S. Lewis knew long before that: that the scientismists seem obsessed with the demonic and occult, and that they are bending all their technological efforts to resurrect the demons of old, and to war on heaven. C.S. Lewis wrote about it in his novel That Hideous Strength. It was on parade in Toulouse. And now a Loonyfornia company (where else?) openly parades it. What the billionaire busybodies - the Thiels and Musks and Baal Gateses to a man - seem always to forget is that the demons are not the only active agents in the story, and that there are others so good, and much more powerful, that they are terrifying even to the most virtuous and righteous.

See you on the flip side...
