First of all, I'm not mentally ill and I'd never use such a condition in a stigmatic form so as to cause harm.
I just spent the last three days being harassed excessively by an abusive predatory group in Regent Park in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, who still are harassing me as I write this post. They're connected to a very abusive religious ideology that targets and harasses people as a form of trying to force them over to the "blue" side of their colour symbolism cult.
Blue to them means a number of things that socially gives them the tools to remove a person's identity, replace it, and then to claim that everything that person states means the exact opposite or that it shouldn't be taken at face value. Basically, its a way of muzzling someone before they have a chance to invoice those responsible.
This cult also tends to use it to imply that they're possessing someone. So, I'm not blue or on the blue team and never will be in the sense this abusive predatory ideology relies upon. Blue in the sense as its used by this predatory ideology almost becomes like a social disease. A form of cooties that some people regard as being contagious. So basically the members of this predatory ideology will harass a person trying to boil them over to the point that they appear not to be behaving like themselves, and even perhaps more like someone else. Often the indicator of their scam being in place, because the way that this predatory group operates is to take the good actions of one person, and give them to the credit of another, as a form of currency.
How This Activity Is Related To Hate Crimes
One of the things they often do is attempt to replace my identity in order to replace my culture, and most often that occurs by painting me as being African or Caribbean (ie Jamaican, Haitian, Trinidadian, Guyanese for example), when I have no such ancestry of that nature at all and actually have very pale European descended skin colour, unless I happen to get a bit more sun during the summer.
Their motive for doing this is two fold.
The first reason has to do with ideas connected to Gnosticism, which in its short form is a philosophy regarding duality that seeks to unify or separate two diametrically opposed paradigms within a person or group of people as a form of mystery school.
Initially, it originated around the concept of gender, as in ancient history with regard to dualism, gender is one of the first concepts we encounter that involves our dual nature, which is echoed throughout nature in many different ways (ie day/night, summer/winter, ground/sky etc).
So the idea is that women and men start out with equal parts of both gender as a sort of foundation to their inner persona, and that a ceremony like marriage is Gnostic in the sense that the ceremony seeks to separate the masculine aspect from the physically female partner, and separate the feminine aspect from the physically male partner, and align them according to the chosen roles of those taking part in the ceremony of becoming one.
This concept goes further, and makes gender interchangeable between partners in such a way that each partner can benefit from the advantages afforded each gender according to ideas regarding each as having strengths and weaknesses. So this is what is at the foundational level is entailed by Gnosticism and what most people will ultimately find out if they do their research. This concept of gender is one of the foundations of Gnostic dualism, and no, my name is not Michael Jacks, and he doesn't exclusively own knowledge anymore than anyone else does. My mind comes from myself and my cultivation, and not from the clairvoyance and clairaudience of others as some predatory ideologies might convince you of the people they target. I choose my allies and who I let in, and I definitely am a person who dispatches those who break in without permission, even if it takes decades. Dispatch in this case means, deal with in an appropriately just manner.
With understanding of duality, people who became interested in Gnosticism began looking for other forms of duality, attempting to integrate them into their philosophy of dualism in this regard in much the same way that physicists examine the laws of the universe trying to find symmetries or asymmetries that reveal aspects of the nature of reality, though take heart, physicists aren't responsible for any woo woo factor involved in this post. This is entirely my own responsibility. Symmetry though is a very applicable metaphor to illustrate the concept.
One of those aspects somehow found its way into perception based upon skin colour, classifying the duality between people with light skin, and people with dark skin, and attempting to integrate it as a form of one of the true Gnostic symmetries of nature.
This idea found its way into branches of Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry, largely unchecked by any centralized body, and eventually became a form of non-standard practice at the street level, and eventually it became the basis for a lot of misunderstanding with regard to mystery schools, and colour symbolism.
That isn't to say that Rosicrucianism is founded in such ideas as dividing people into two categories accommodating the lightness and darkness of their skin, as much so as it is to say that this form of Gnostic philosophy has been host to hate crimes for as long as its existed, simply because it attempts forcibly to enforce cultural identity of its intended targets, with an additional or replacement culture against their choice, and often by creating immense weight of some form as a burden carried by the target of such a system of duality.
In all secret societies and in the awareness of their authentic members (initiated in an organized and well founded temple or lodge system that includes activities such as doing community work or raising money for charity) which I've known, colour symbolism has never meant skin colour. Ever.
The initiation into these non-authentic forms of Gnosticism and Rosicrucianism and possibly even Masonry, involves creating a burdensome secret that is represented by the colour symbolism of brown/black, in this case, keeping a secret for someone based upon their skin colour, and making it the weight of the "initiate".
Some have even gone so far as to claim that this is the true source of Egyptian culture as well (ie the racist idea that Egyptians were simply an alchemical mixture of people with sub-Saharan dark skin, and North African light skin, hence this misinformed concept of Gnostic philosophy found roots in many Temples that became popular when Rosicrucianism became part of the pop culture, especially the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, who historically have respected the philosophy of Egyptian tradition from which is derived the HOOTGD's symbolism and metaphor.
Into the 1960s and beyond, a movement founded upon this Gnostic concept of dualism based upon skin colour slowly worked its way into largely unrecognized groups allegedly initiating and practicing the philosophies of an unattached esoteric Egyptian tradition.
In my experience with authentic members (who can trace their mentor's lineage back for several hundred years), they have never initiated members using brown/black colour symbolism to create a burden based upon skin colour as represented by brown skin and symbolized by brown/black as maintaining a secret for people based upon skin colour, and have never integrated any such practice as part of their initiation process of bringing members into their temple.
My research into Freemasonry, and authentic Freemasons who similarly can trace their masters back for a hundred and fifty years and often more, it is the exact same thing. Skin colour, is never integrated into any craft originating from Gnostic philosophy, and the movement where skin colour does come into play as a form of dualism likely arose as a part of pop culture, and its interest with esoteric philosophy long before the internet became popular. From the nineteen fifties and forward.
It became a counterfeit form of mystery school, and because secret societies were so secret back then, there was little way for the interested initiate to confirm the authenticity of any group initiating an entered member. In most cases, it is a scam, seeking to unload the weight of one people, while fooling another into believing they are entered into a secret society to which they will eventually be "accepted" upon passing a test, when in fact they're simply being played for a fool as they will never pass the test, and it serves merely as a scam to bilk everything from an unaware victim of such a ruse.
These secrets used by such groups, in most cases, the weight of those secrets will follow a pattern from one of three most often used archetypes, not to be confused with Jungian archetypes:
- Substitute Pregnancy/Abortion
The secret involves an unwanted pregnancy, and most surreptitiously an abortion that requires the initiate to carry the weight for the real father as a "brown secret", which might also include taking the weight of the corresponding abortion as well, so that the real father is not breaking their own bloodline.
- Substitute Substance Dealing/ Substance Abuse
The secret involves the weight of a substance dealer or substance abuser (most often cocaine or another "hard" narcotic), which is carried as a substitute burden by the initiate as a brown secret, where the substance abuse is regarded the problem of the substitute rather than the actual substance user.
- Substitute Sex Trafficking
The situation involves sex trafficking in some way shape or form, in such a way that once again, the initiate carries the weight as a brown secret, for those who are involved with or running a sex trafficking operation.
Those in on this form of scam in a given community where such a scam operates, will often make that weight very heavy for the person who they've fooled into believing they are being initiated into a secret society.
The initiate is then treated as if they were responsible for fathering unwanted children and corresponding abortions, for substance dealing and abuse, and for participating as a sex trafficker or customer thereof.
For these "brown secrets", if you as a dupe of this sort of scam tried exposing it, and clarifying the truth about the fact that you were being used as a substitute: ie a lamb for the slaughter, it would come back to you in the form of implying your inability to: take responsibility for your own actions.
Keep in mind that these secrets are built on the idea of scamming you into taking responsibility for other people's actions and crimes. Exposing such activity will almost always be framed in such a way as to make it the substitute's responsibility rather than the actual one whose responsibility it is, and most often the scammers make that very difficult to ascertain, or in some cases, sextortion networks will be involved as a means to "prove" the guilt of the substitute by creating situations where intimacy might have been involved, and created after the fact.
For decades, I've been held under that sort of a scam, where even people I once trusted the most regarded me as not taking responsibility, when the truth was that I wouldn't take responsibility for the actions of someone who should have taken the responsibility for their own actions, rather than disowning them and pawning them off on someone else as part of a bid to allegedly initiate some dupe into a mystery school or secret society that is founded on a fake tradition.
When the substitute is treated as if it was their shortcoming for not taking the responsibility for one's own actions, specifically the substitute secrets, are then used to justify taking the good actions of the substitute on the grounds that if they substitute doesn't take responsibility for those actions, then how can they take the credit for their own good efforts? The scam is basically using the logic: if you don't own your own bad, you can't own your own good, and therein lies the scam. You're being forced to take responsibility for someone else's actions, and in not doing so, you're being forced to pay for it out of your own good actions.
In the communities where these sorts of scams occur, the victims of this scam will often be kept under constant surveillance by members of the gang conducting the scam, and most often the involvement is with criminal gangs who are operating these scams, or as connected to a predatory ideology or religion that intermingles with the activities of such gangs.
What Happened In My Situation?
In my case, I've been targeted by this scam more than once in my life, and from my later teenage years, right up until I was in my forties, as attempted several times by interconnected gangs seeking this sort of outcome.
Probably, the most difficult and damaging was the one in which I was burdened with a situation involving a very obese Haitian woman, who was a volunteer, who at the time that this occurred, seemed to me to be doing a lot of good.
I was not attracted to her in any way at all and I generally am attracted to European and Asian women, but I was of the mind set at that time that someone doing good selflessly in such a way, that there should be a reward for good actions, and so I took it upon myself to offer myself up, as a way to make a difference without outwardly thinking about myself first and without the impression that doing so would have any sort of dire consequences as it eventually did.
That person asked me out first (choosing the time of my mid November birthday in order to create this initiation situation, which should give a few clues as to the nature of the group involved as they were clearly trying to make future birthdays a time of suffering for me), and I accepted under that premise of making a difference for someone who probably wouldn't have met anyone willing to do this, though I never suspected that it would be used in the way that it eventually was and criminally so, and that was part of the plan of the group in which she was a part, from the very beginning and is still being used that way until this very day.
The person in question it turns out, was one of the persons of interest during an investigation conducted by the Justices of Peace Canada, at the Federal level, where investigators were looking into allegations of large scale systematic criminal extortion, with the use of hidden and in plain sight cameras, especially when involving intimate relations, and what investigators uncovered were sextortion networks that had been operating since before the turn of the millennium, who were using their camera networks as part of this overall scam, though they had no idea of the details involved that I just revealed.
The investigators were there not to build a case or arrest wrong doers. They were there to evaluate the nature of the problem in order to help Canada's Justice system and policy makers come up with their first laws targeting sextortion.
The investigation took about three years from my awareness of it, after which a number of measures were drawn in May of 2007, in order to act as a deterrent to prevent the same activity from spreading.
Many of the people involved in the secret society initiation scam I described above, were also part of this same extortion/sextortion network, with many of those who actually operated this network still being employed in the area in other lines of work.
Similar networks were run in other communities, even until as late as 2018, secretly recording intimate moments between unknowing couples, whose footage was then used as blackmail in the case that the couples involved every became enemies of the predatory ideology responsible. This network had ties to the social safety net as well and other organizations as well.
The weight from those situations is purposely made very heavy for the victim(s) by the perpetrators, and this is often used to blackmail and extort them in some way shape or form. This is also used as a means to radicalize their victim, because issues of race are very often at the core of these methods employed by this predatory group, and if and when a victim speaks out, it is very likely that they'll be labeled as committing a hate crime, or eliciting hate speech, when in fact, the hate crime is in violating the first article of the Human Rights, which is our right to life. The right to life by legal definition and implication protects our right to identity, and any violation of our identity, especially which seeks to replace our culture or the responsibility associated with our identity by way of someone else's actions versus our own, is according to law an identity crime and hate crime and violation of article one of the Human Rights code.
My having exposed this will most certainly result in the attempts by members of these predatory groups attempting to give people a false impression about my culture, so it is necessary for me to state that I am Canadian, of Welsh, Spanish, French and Sioux ancestry, and generally very pale skinned. The members of the predatory group will most certainly try to alter that impression and my description, which is that I'm about 6 feet tall, 175 to 180 lbs. I'm considerably fit for my age (58) and I certainly do not look 58. Most would consider me to be in my early to mid forties.
So this is one of the monsters I've been fighting since 2005 (though earlier setups in my life go back as far as the 1980s), and one of the monsters that led to my having to break up with Yi Chen in 2006, as a result of the fact that she too was stalked by the membership of this predatory group and to such a degree that it became clear that it would become a health risk to her. The same group then created situations to ensure that Yi and I would never get back together, with the intent of essentially cutting me off from Asian culture and trying to force me in a different direction culturally and giving people the impression that I have a "brown skin" fetish, and then using me as a substitute to clean off the people who really do, so that everything that comes from me appears to be related to that sort of impression, rather than the truth which is the fact that my own love interest is Southeast Asian. So in a way, its a huge scam and undertaking by this predatory group, whose days are certainly numbered in terms of their being brought to justice.
When in 2012 I began what would eventually become Shhhh! Digital Media, this same predatory group tried to append an alternate (African/Caribbean) identity to replace mine, so that people who began reading my work, often were led to believe that I was African or Caribbean or biracial African or Caribbean when I'm not.
They kept this ruse in place right until this very day, as a means to attempt to associate all of my work and content with one or more other people, to whom my work has been credited, while painting me in a very different light, knowing that if I chose to speak out against that activity, that it would put me at risk of hate speech, or committing a hate crime. I've been very careful if and when I choose to speak out and have never crossed that line but suffice it to say that this is definitely a large scale organized criminal network.
Also, given the fact that my most recent relationships were with women from Southeast Asia, the membership of this predatory group are opposed to such relationships, and have done everything they could to erase those relationships as well, even going so far as to stalk ex-girlfriends into keeping their silence about the truth, and these very same gangs are constantly monitoring my computer activity as well, despite the fact that I have no criminal record, and no record of any activity related to computer crime.
They've timed this latest attack with my highest level of activity writing for some time, probably in order to provoke a reaction that gives people the stigmatic impression that I'm mentally ill, or under the influence of narcotics or some other false impression. I don't use narcotics at all, and I do drink, and enjoy it, but not often and often not very much. We all have stresses in life, but as I stated, there are predatory ideologies that can make life very difficult and often do so and target those who are very active about pushing forward in life.
Not to mention the members of these predatory ideologies weaponize identity. For instance, in order to justify spying on my computer activity, they might swap my identity with that of an actual convicted sex offender, with the membership of this predatory ideology in the community then treating me as if I'm that person rather than my own identity. To the members of this predatory ideology, identity is impermanent, and only guaranteed as long as you can protect it and remain consistent with it versus their predatory group in any communities they operate, which violates Canadian law.
The membership of this predatory ideology will also do everything they can to ensure that you cannot earn a living, and that you are constantly plagued by debt. In fact, that is one of their strategies when they target the people they attempt these sorts of scams against. No money in, and as much money as they can out.
My name is Brian Joseph Johns, and this is Shhhh! Digital Media. I'm with my Shhhh! Digital Media colours of red black, red white, red yellow and red grey. I'm not on the brown team. I am not a member of any religion, though I consider my closest leanings to be Buddhism and Taoism. Other than that, I'm secular and have nothing to do with any cross or church.
Nothing written here was the result of any consumption of alcohol or narcotics whatsoever. This rant was entirely written to confront the most recent harassment attack and nothing else. I don't use narcotics, and I enjoy drinking, but don't drink often and most often drink little. Provoking long winded reactions like this is how predatory groups like this one discredit the people they target. Part of their dirty bag of tricks. Provoking a reaction that many people assume is the result of narcotics abuse, alcohol abuse, or mental illness, and then using those three stigmatic ideas as a smokescreen to protect the true activities of this predatory group.
Final Notes
Don't take any of my words here as an indication that this is the end for Shhhh! Digital Media at all because that is absolutely not the case. Shhhh! Digital Media will continue forward as it always does, and innovate in ways that are truly fearless, and represent the core philosophy, while dealing with these collective forces that are truly undermining our cooperation and autonomy.
Butterfly Dragon Reimagined will entirely expand what I started with the original Butterfly Dragon, while Era of the Spellbound doesn't start from an already fully established Sanctum Seclorum. It starts with nothing, and three women who must find their way as they begin to realize their destiny as they become aware of the underlying mysteries of society, the Aerth and ultimately a living and breathing planar universe.
In exposing what I have exposed, I'm hoping that awareness reaches others who still possess their naivety about the world, and perhaps their innocence with regard to it, before being reached by those who'd exploit those qualities in the manner I explained above. Just by being aware of that aspect alone, others might save themselves a lot of pain and decades of their life. Remember, that when people loop you into something where they're wielding secrets connected to your life as puppet strings, that you have a say as to how that affects you, and how not to fall into the trap. If someone tells you about it before hand, then you're already way ahead of those who'd prey upon the unwary, without the price tag of losing your innocence.
I don't want to be forced by any predatory ideology into wearing a replacement identity that covers up my real soul. To predatory ideologies like the one the world is facing right now, the history of your life and the events that occur wherein are your soul, and the good and bad that has occurred throughout your life form up a currency according to this predatory ideology. Their entire goal is to ruin your past, while stealing everything good from it, and wearing it as their own, while forcing you to wear a replacement identity that covers up your nature, that is paid for by that currency from the good of your life's efforts. They make you wear this to cover up the ways they created situations that they used to force you to buy the replacement identity, and erase your life's history. Those situations I spoke about, the secrets, they're used to steal your history from you, and to the predatory ideology that conducts itself that way, that is your soul.
That's their biggest secret. Now that you know them for what they are, go out there and live your life with that advantage over them. Just remember where you got that advantage from.
There's lots more to come.
