WATCH: The Rings of Prime II: Loose Canon
J R Leach
Nothing is sacred anymore. Attacks on tradition and the old ways come from every angle, and some of the most insidious assaults target art and culture. The Rings of Power stands as a glaring example of this subversion—an attempt to rewrite the timeless tales of good and evil into a formless grey sludge.
What is the true motive behind this show?
With low audience retention and little buzz between seasons, it’s hard to tell. Is it a colossal money-laundering scheme? A deliberate effort to dismantle heroic ideals and “outdated” notions of bravery? Or maybe it’s part of a broader agenda to normalise entertainment that looks polished but offers nothing of substance. Or maybe its nothing more than a billionaire’s vanity project.
Perhaps it’s all of these at once.
What do you make of it?

Armageddon- It is that simple. Armageddon is here right among us, to stay and wont go away.
It gives the answer to all the questions that Mr. Leach and all other insecure people feeling unsafe with hurt feelings, may have here and now, today and where they and we stand.

People will see Rings of Prime first, decide that this is what Tolkien is all about and then not bother reading the actual Tolkien. This attenuates the effect of whatever good is in Tolkien.
I’ve not read Tolkien though i’ve been told it’s
a better story than The Bible –
which i believe, going by the chatter of The
Tolkien-ista… Very Manichean…
This fellow “Les online” is apparently in Australia.
“better story than the Bible”? FYI Tolkien was a devout Catholic and hence unlikely to have thanked you for that “praise”.
Now this website Off-G is generally anti-NWO, anti-WEF and anti-vaxx and rightly so.
And the Freedomites in Aust. are conspicuously (non-mainstream, i.e. Free Church) Christian at times: Graham Hood (Protestant); Monica Smit (TradCath, ie pre-Vatican II).
NB: the mainstream Churches are just as Great Resetting as their counterparts in the UK, e. g. the Archbishop of Canterbury prattling that Jesus would have got vaccinated.
Smit has just been awarded $4,000 in damages for 2 unlawful arrests in 2020 but hit with ca. $250,000 court costs payable to the State that arrested her. .
So I submit that there are not enough Unjabbed resisters in heavily-jabbed Aust. to be able to afford getting Christians offside by making snide atheist-type sneers against the Bible, a revered book for Christians. Because the Freedom movement has too many different types of people in it.
But maybe Les got jabbed and it is affecting his neurology.
Not only Australia in the Far East but the whole of the godless global “West” is in self-created trouble.
“We have forgotten God, and all evil has become possible” — Solzhenitsyn, Harvard Speech.
Precisely.
There is no better story than the Bible. No better book. It is alive and from the very hand of God Himself. All other works are dead in comparison.
I have found no better book than the Bible too. Nowhere.
Maybe there could be a good reason why the Bible is the most read book in the world? Or what.
People read the Bible proforma, they are forced by their government, or they read it because the others read it, or just for fun, or why??
It cant be because people get all their questions answered there no???
Answers might not be what the people really is in need of.
Maybe all the questions raised is what gives them the spiritual meaning they have missed.
Whatever it is, people have the right to choose what they want as long as they go responsible and solely with their personal choices.

That’s rather extreme. But for sure the two greatest books in English are the Bible and Shakespeare.
Kipling wrote an intriguing short story, called Proof of Holy Writ, to float the idea that the King James Bible is so good because Shakespeare had a hand in the translation.
No, the so-called ‘bible’ is definitely NOT “from the very hand of ‘god himself'”.
The so-called ‘bible’ writings were written by ordinary human beings. If you Fundamentalist Christians around the world cared about actual facts/truths, you’d all have carried out scholarly research into the actual origins of the writings termed the ‘bible’. And if you all did so, then none of you would be claiming that it is “inspired by ‘god'”.
None of you question the BS in the collection of writings termed the ‘bible’!!!
How brainwashed, how indoctrinated into BS, you all are!!
The Supreme Creative, Intelligent Power which created the multi-dimensional Cosmos and all life is an intelligent Energy, it is not a person.
And your conclusion is that the those “ordinary human beings” couldn´t have been inspired by that “intelligent energy”, thus the expression “from the hand of God ?
Because I don´t think you will find any person that actually think that God himself WROTE the bible using paper and pencil. Do you ?
Neither have I read Tolkien. But I have passed the little pub in Oxford where he read the Ur-Ring to his fellow undergraduates.
Then came Harry Potter.
Guy voice sounded like PJW and this sounded like a repeat from 2015 with Milo and ghostbusters 2 fake controversy.
it something out of nothing usually by people who still voting tilt sided..
TBH I thought it was ok on 1.5 speed.
if you read the Tolken family opinion they thought the Tolken films where crap and did not serve the purpose.
what is it your expecting,..?
Nothing will ever beat the books format that has not been cut or amended or 3rd edition that has been reduced due to how they do things.
Tolkien is for children and his books apart from the The Hobbit and LOTR are terminally boring for both kids and adults.
Tales of cosmic good and evil are nor timeless (originating in Babylon) neither particularly wise – they are a setup because evil masquerades as good at least half the time..see NATO, the WHO and big pharma for the grisly details
Good and evil are realities, but only good is a timeless, infinite cosmic force while evil is much more constrained and limited. Otherwise, if evil was equally cosmic and infinite as good, evil would have already prevailed and there would be no life at all.
The other dimension of this is that even if some human beings are more related to neanderthals than so-called homo sapiens, we are not by nature neither totally good nor totally evil- we are by nature inclined to be good but can be turned to evil through culture; such as normalised – and passed down from one generation to the next – forms of child abuse.
I also said Tolkien’s books are shit on here once and never heard the end of down votes.Dangerous ground.
But you survived the dangerous ground , didn´t you ?
Isn’t ‘evil’ just the absence of Love?
No, evil is also motivated by Love. The greatest evildoers on this planet — the Anglo Zionazi Capitalist Bankers — are motivate by a Pure Love of Money for her own sake and not for what she can do for them.
Love, to me at least, is a pure, selfless action.
What the ruling psychos are afflicted with is a sexual lust of avarice.
Sorry Nick, Johnny gets the point here. Again the Bible has the most poetic precise answers. https://youtu.be/tuLV1ZQA6ME
There is always a purpose, and the purpose while veiled may lie in the realm of predictive programming. Most often, elements of media (of all colors) serve in this manner. Could the overall message be designed to convey hopelessness and despondency, blurring the lines between what was most definitely a chronicle of good/light triumphing inevitably over evil/darkness?
The problem is that the script writers don’t know that TLOTR is a allegory describing the human predicament – like any other human mythology. See Hamlet’s Mill*.
They don’t know that Sauron represents Satan – the adversary – the destroyer.
They don’t know that The One Ring, that brings us all and in the darkness binds us, is The Zodiac – the band of constellations that rotates around us every 24 millennia, as Hamlet’s Mill grinds out mankind twice this great year.
They don’t know that the Mines of Moria are an allusion to Mount Moriah, which is a cipher for The Great Pyramid – built to warn mankind of the next ‘grind’.
They don’t know that ‘to destroy the ring’ is a metaphor for ‘to break the cycle’ – to escape Samsara.
They don’t know that ‘The Two Towers’ is cognate with ‘The Twin Towers’.
If the script writers knew these things, then they’d have a chance of riding on Tokien’s coattails, and might even be able to produce something resonant and sympathetic rather than superficial and jarring.

Or they do know all this, and the intention is to subvert fiction as well as reality.
Not at all.
The Twin Towers were built by TPTB to be destroyed, to mark the immanence of the eschaton – the tolling of the first bell.
If you’re looking for subversion, that is your calibre.
Writing vacuous scripts for TLOTR prequels is not subversion, but incompetence.
The script writers don’t know ? Well that’s a relief.
Thanks for the links.
Dear M. Delacroix,
while far from versed in the mysteries to which you allude I hope I shall not waste your time by bringing to your attention a highly referenced document that attempts a cosmological interpretation of certain foundational myths and topoi found across a variety of widely separated ‘ancient’ cultures and civilisations.
This is a historic-astronomical account in the form of a (not very well written) novel which ultimately proposes a solar-cyclical eschatology spanning tens of thousands of years (per cycle): https://www.amazon.co.uk/So-Snake-Spoke-Geoffrey-Dixon-ebook/dp/B08TVX8XD5/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.wrvrQwYl7JeevuYpyQPnLg.frjSjtH1z-jolWFiGBtx1nB2qmYG2WOCTc_ZEWtehWA&dib_tag=se&keywords=And+so+the+snake+spoke&qid=1727122757&sr=8-1
It can be read free if downloaded to Kindle. I am not the author and have no links to him. I note that his title is an attempt at a modernised rendering of the biblical phrase found in a well known English Christmas carol: thus spake the seraph. The seraph in this case is the bearer of the annunciation to the Virgin Mary.
This author traces an argument about solar and cosmic cycles projected over far longer aeons than most historians are prepared to countenance as relevant to human existence but which put me in mind of another ‘populist’ promoter of big archaic mysteries: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_Hancock
It seems that while neither of these writers, both in their different ways versed in very specific scientific approaches to ‘the deep backward and abysm of time’ has any more than hypothetical conclusions to propose their work taken together may constitute a key to many mysteries of more than academic import. That Mr Dixon is essentially unknown and Mr Hancock is often dismissed as a charlatan (the word appears in the first line of the Wikepedia article linked to above) should not be allowed to prejudice a better qualified consideration of a deeper (and highly consequential) truth about humanity’s place in the cosmos that both may point to than I am qualified to attempt.
i cannot know this but I suspect I may be one of a very small group who have seen this connection, at least through the conjunction of these two bodies of research. Or indeed I may be alone in having seen it.
Thank you Mr Vinogradoff, for your book recommendation. I will get a copy.
There is another book I’m familiar with that gives allegorical clues to Earth’s cyclic cataclysm and this is the Helliconia trilogy. wikipedia.org/wiki/Helliconia
Knowledge of cyclic cataclysm has been passed down the generations via mystery schools, secret societies, etc. since at least the last occasion, i.e. the YDE.
The problem is how to persuade a future (inevitably technologically advanced) civilisation that The Earth abruptly suffers a ‘rinse cycle’ – without obvious warning.
The Great Pyramid was built as a solution to this (see The FCT: drive.google.com/file/d/1D1yYw0NtrYu6YMccNgoAsxiIs14WOeyr/view?pli=1 )
Outside of the higher echelons of secret societies, you are indeed one of a very small group, but at least you are discovering fellow members.
NB My icon (Occitan cross) encodes both the Zodiac (24k Great Year) and the Vesica Piscis (dualistic causation).
Money scheme? The problem is that money is not money but only an illusion. Fiat money, derivatives, shares, dividend, valuta exchange, all illusions.
Gold and silver you could call real money but even those are only exchange money.
For me it seems someone are extremely pessed. Filled with envy. Jealousy. Hateful.
On God’s Creation. And even this is stated and predicted so precise in The Bible.
They get a frisson from their fairy tales for the feeble minded?
’Nothing of substance’ sums up ninety five percent of what passes for entertainment.
Indeed a worse visual corruption by Holywood of Tolkien’s original, although this modern British bible is already pretty black to start with. Amazon Prime’s MGM uglified this to new levels mirroring its own dark ego. Epstein’s milieu on AI steroids for global mass beauty deprivation.
