For millennia, alchemists obsessed over the Philosopher's Stone, throwing untold amounts of money in to trying to turn lead into gold. But in the 19th century, a highly organized network of occultists, bankers, and secret societies finally figured out how to do it using debt, bullets, and global war.In this deep dive, continuing on our timeline of the occult, we look at the first half of the 19th century, where the foundations of t...

The Count of Saint Germain.

In this deep-dive (part of our Prisca Theologia series), The Dirt Unit uncovers how a decentralized network of occultists, alchemists, and spies quietly engineered the modern world. From John Dee's Enochian angels demanding radical moral inversion, to the Vatican's Jesuit intelligen...

In the third chapter of our investigation, we map the birth of the modern privatized intelligence networks. This is the story of "The Men Who Sold The World."

From 1995 to September 10th, 2001, a new form of power consolidated itself in the shadows. Elite spies from MI6 and the CIA left the public sector to found corporate intelligence empires like Hakluyt and Diligence, becoming the unaccountable army for a global oligarchy centere...
