Dr. Heather Lynn | Sitchin’s Anunnaki Inc., Archeology as Espionage, & TikTok Blood Witches

Summary

Historian Dr. Heather Lynn argues that the popular Anunnaki ancient-astronaut story, as branded by Zecharia Sitchin, sits on top of 19th-century biblical archaeology and wartime intelligence work, and that it quietly promotes ideas about special bloodlines. She traces how the early decipherment of cuneiform turned into a fight over which group could claim credit for inventing civilization. The conversation then moves to claims that alternative media and UFO disclosure figures are steered through staged social circles she likens to a 'Truman Show' or LARP.

Key takeaways

• 1Lynn claims Zecharia Sitchin, raised in British Mandate Palestine, was founding director of the American Israel Chamber of Commerce and Industry and chair of the American Israel Pavilion at the New York World's Fair.
• 2She says Sitchin had Harry Truman sign the May 14, 1948 press release recognizing Israel in 1965, and cites a 1987 letter from the Israeli Embassy accepting the loan of that document for Israel's 40th anniversary.
• 3She frames the 'Sumerian problem' as a 19th-century racial debate. One Ottoman-born French Jewish scholar argued that Sumerian was a priestly code invented by Semitic Babylonians rather than a real language.
• 4She says Assyriologist Friedrich Delitzsch first accepted that view, then reversed it in 'Babel and Bible' and 'The Great Deception' (1920-21), which attacked the Hebrew Bible's historical reliability.
• 5She calls Michael Heiser's SitchinIsWrong.com a form of 'controlled opposition' and says the Book of Enoch and Nephilim ideas are being heavily promoted, citing a Rep. Anna Paulina Luna tweet.
• 6The episode makes contested and unverified allegations, including Lynn's still-unpublished claim of trained 'rape dogs' used by the IDF. The host speculates that Tom DeLonge, David Grusch, Bob Lazar, Whitley Strieber and Chris Bledsoe were misled, and that Steven Greer, Linda Moulton Howe and Robert Bigelow attended a gathering at Laurance Rockefeller's ranch.

Well, praise be to he, so say we all, this is the way. From the Sunshine State, I'm Greg Carlwood, and the mind control machine has never been more sophisticated. Nor have the tactics of a Pandora's box of ideologically motivated cults and hidden networks hell-bent on gaining market share in the realm of ideas for whatever backwards philosophy gives them the excuse to be in charge or claim souls for another subversive spirit god. We have to navigate so many mental landmines on our path to discovering whatever spirituality, true history, and the human experience looks like to us, despite the hidden agendas, unadvertised motivations, and weaponized applications of many things that, left alone, on their own, wouldn't be so bad. What can you do but keep your head up and watch out for the red flags of corruption and inversion, as well as many of the winding paths towards the weird pseudo-Christian Zionist technosis digital black cube rapture they seem to be pushing the herd towards? Well, here to talk about all these things and more for a third time is my friend and yours, Dr. Heather Lynn.
