GOLD
Part 5

THE THIRD QUESTION:
3. From the Q article: “Slaves, including children, were used to extract and process the ore.” Are we still slaves being used to extract gold?

ANSWER:
Wow. So it would seem…. And not only are we producing wealth from the earth for them…. the blood diamond topic might fit in here nicely.....AND THEY are mining US for our genes, DNA, and blood apparently.

I did a very cursory search and found the following report about teenagers enslaved by criminal gangs to mine for gold:

https://www.equaltimes.org/south-africa-s-gold-slaves#.W4TPvS2ZOMI

AND

https://www.freetheslaves.net/about-slavery/slavery-today/
EXCERPT:

“...New slavery has two chief characteristics—it’s cheap and it’s disposable. Slaves today are cheaper than ever. In 1850, an average slave in the American South cost the equivalent of $40,000 in today’s money. Today a slave costs about $90 on average worldwide. (Source: Disposable People: New Slavery in the Global Economy. See all Free the Slaves books.)

Modern slaves are not considered investments worth maintaining. In the 19th century it was difficult to capture slaves and transport them to the United States. But today, when someone in slavery gets sick or injured, they are simply dumped or killed.

Slavery flows into our homes, offices, and schools through many of the products we buy. Slaves harvest cocoa in West Africa, and it ends up in our chocolate. Slaves make charcoal in Brazil, which is used to run smelters that make steel for our cars. Many food products and raw materials are tainted by slavery—such as tomatoes, tuna, shrimp, cotton, diamonds, iron, sugar, and gold... “

These things ought not to be.

THE FOURTH QUESTION:
4. I read a creepy account of Napoleon spending the night in an Egyptian pyramid. Supposedly it gave him some sort of power.

ANSWER:
I did not run into any telling of particular stories which claimed to specify what Napoleon’s experiences might have been.

I actually located a discussion of that topic in reddit!

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/6x3mo1/any_truth_to_this_napoleon_spent_a_night_in_the/

According to the first reddit guy, who started the thread, Napoleon did not tell anyone the particulars, because he said he did not think anyone would believe him….but even that story seems to have been debunked by the second reddit guy. The thread generated some other interesting stuff about France.

HOWEVER this caught my eye because of notorious CIA characters mentioned:

Reddit guy:
“Using Google Books, I attempted to trace the anecdote you cite, complete with quote, back to its Ur version. The earliest account I could find was one written by John Sack and published by ESQUIRE IN APRIL 1975 AS “HOW I BECAME THE FIRST PERSON IN HISTORY TO SLEEP IN THE GREAT PYRAMID”. PERHAPS REVEALINGLY, THE ANECDOTE WAS CITED AS ONE OF A PAIR, THE OTHER BEING A CLAIM MADE BY KEN KESEY, THE MERRY PRANKSTER AND PROPONENT OF LSD. KESEY WAS SENT TO EGYPT ON ASSIGNMENT BY ROLLING STONE IN 1974, AND CLAIMED TO HAVE BECOME “SICK UNTO DEATH” AFTER A FEW MINUTES IN THE KING’S CHAMBER.”

[The next reddit guy responds:]

“Good sleuthing. I would point out that there are some other antecedents in “pyramid literature,” such as H. P. LOVECRAFT’S “UNDER THE PYRAMIDS”, WHICH WAS GHOSTWRITTEN FOR HARRY HOUDINI AND PUBLISHED AS “IMPRISONED WITH THE PHARAOHS.” That story doesn’t have a direct connection to the Napoleon tale, but it shows the influence of the Egyptology craze in the earlier part of the 20th century.”

[Next Redditor:]

“I also remember reading about “pyramid power” long ago. People were saying it could “magically” sharpen razor blades if they were left in one overnight. I forget what the other claims were. But it was very flaky/occult/supernatural stuff.”

[texokie’s comment:]
I remember all that stuff too! I knew a bunch of people who had them and thought the power was real. I never decided one way or the other. Too busy! LOL!

The above reddit thread gets into some of that as it continues, including possible use as grain storage facilities.

END Part 5

There is one theory that the pyramids were ancient power sources. Specific chemicals were fed into them to do it. Some of the walls have traces of these chemicals in certain chambers that has all but confirmed it. It explains why the interiors were designed the way they were.
