What Is The Keystone?

What is the Keystone? Has Potus opened the door of all doors? Has the public awakened to the threat that the rabid Democrats pose to our freedoms and economic prosperity? Tuesday’s national elections appeared to spell doom for the Republicans, with the Democrats electing an outright Communist, Zohran Mamdani, as the mayor of New York City.

Speaking Wednesday at the America Business Forum in Miami, President Donald Trump urged citizens not to panic. “We lost a little bit of sovereignty last night in New York,” Trump said. “But don’t worry. We’ll take care of it.”

Will the Senate change its filibuster rules? Are we on the precipice of our own Battle of Helm’s Deep? This is the famous, fictional battle from J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord Of The Rings, which saw the forces of the Wizard Saruman defeated by the army of Rohan. Pray! Here’s more from And We Know.

The Flame Of The West

In The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien bestowed the name “Anduril” on the sword of Aragorn in his fight against darkness and evil.

Tolkien wrote that “Anduril” can be translated from Elvish as “The Flame of the West.” Bill Whittle says It’s no coincidence that a new, start-up defense company also calls itself Anduril. But as Whittle points out, the real Flame of the West is much deeper and more profound than mere weaponry.

Whittle and his “Right Angle” colleagues, Scott Ott and Stephen Green, explain further.

How Tolkien Exposed Illuminati

Serving as guest host of The Alex Jones Show, Jay Dyer breaks down how J.R.R. Tolkien as well as fellow sci-fi visionary C.S. Lewis exposed the graft and corruption of the Illuminati. As Dyer cheekily puts it, “Alex Jones was right again.”

How Middle Earth Shaped Music

Songwriters are quick to reference poetry in their lyrics or draw inspiration from works of fiction. But although many authors got nods, the favorite of the 1970s rock scene was legendary science fiction author J.R.R. Tolkien. Top-flight acts, such as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Rush referenced Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings Trilogy and The Hobbit in their works, with the wizard Gandalf and hobbit Gollum among their favorites. Tolkien’s influence continued in the ’80s and ’90s, and Middle Earth references are commonplace in metal lyrics today. Here’s more from Polyphonic.

Myths That Probably Existed

Hobbits, one of the more visual subjects in the popular J.R.R. Tolkien The Lord of the Rings trilogy, may not really be a figment of his vivid imagination after all. Excavations of a limestone cave on the Indonesian island of Flores uncovered a 3-foot-tall skeleton and nine other similar bodies, resembling hobbits the way we picture them today. Signs of early civilization were found with the bodies and scientists believe they were a different species of Neanderthals. Check out nine other mythical things that probably existed in this edition of Top 10 Archive.
