 After the birth of Jesus, the three wise men, or Magi, follow the star of Bethlehem to find the manger where Jesus was born. The three kings day is celebrated on January 6th. This so happens to be the beginning of the Mardi Gras season, a season that lasts all the way up to Ash Wednesday at the beginning of Lent.

My name is Bryce, and today we're going to conclude part two on our deep dive into the celebration of Mardi Gras. Now, before we go into our story and into our deep dives, just a few notes moving forward. We're on really uncertain times right now. The timeline, the month that we're in, anything could happen at any point in time. I'm actually filming this video on Wednesday, the 11th, so this video will release on, you guessed it, Friday the 13th. Normally, I like to get the videos in about a week in advance just for YouTube to screen them to make sure we're okay to try to keep the channel up. However, there's been so much going on with all these interviews that I've been so lucky to be a part of that I haven't had a chance to film this yet. That's why I'm filming it two days in advance instead of a week in advance. Now, Friday the 13th, when this will air, as this is airing, I will be doing a couple of calls. My first call will obviously be with Tom Numbers, a great friend of the channel, and Elizabeth from TikTok, and a new truth or Christie, which you guys got to meet Christie yesterday in an interview that I did with her. I'm also going to be doing another call with Tamara on Friday the 13th as well that will probably air to you guys on Saturday. So in real time, as you're watching this, it will air tomorrow. She is going to go over some mantras for you guys, especially since there's total chaos right now in our world. Now, on Monday, I will be recording with the channel Aquarius Rising Africa, which I'm super, super excited about. We're going to be talking again about bloodlines, which is a subject that I'm very fascinated in, as you guys know. So if you are a part of their channel, please make sure you tune in for that episode with them. Now, with all this being said, we know that there are whispers of things going on, potentially with the EBS system, maybe today on Wednesday as I'm filming, maybe in the future. We know that the New York City governor just resigned, so much is happening. And I will try to stay up to date with the current events as well as the deep dives that we are doing on this channel. If major things do start to happen, what I plan on doing is pausing the deep dives to be able to do Zoom calls with other truthers around the world just so we can all kind of stay together and in the moment of what's happening. And then once everything happens, and we can take a deep breath, we'll resume our deep dives again, so we can start to figure out where they've manipulated stuff in the past, if that makes sense. If nothing happens spectacular today or tomorrow, then as always, we will continue with our regularly scheduled program. But I just wanted to keep you guys up and in the loop, because obviously stuff is just really exciting and popping off every day. And so we just kind of have to wait and see where the dust settles and what's going to be going on the next few weeks. I know you, most of you watching like me are probably super ready for everything to flip. I've been ready. I think most of us have been ready for well over a year, but just hold the line. It's all coming. And the best is truly, truly yet to come. I also just got a chance to look through some of the comments from Wednesday's video, which is today, the day I'm filming about possibly doing a deep dive into tarot cards. You all seem super excited to do that. So I will be adding that to the list. And once we get through a couple more subjects, we will definitely, I'll definitely start researching that for you to put together kind of a storyboard for you all to understand where they've manipulated us when it comes to like, you know, the taboo subjects that the church wanted us to stay away from, which now we know we shouldn't have been staying away from because it is a tool given to us by God. And again, as I said on Wednesday, the next book that we're going to be diving into in our band book series is the book of Tobich, or it's also called the book of Tobias. So I'm going to let you know that ahead of time in case you want to go ahead and get your own copy. If you want to read it along with us Wednesday's episode, I will be doing kind of a breakdown of the history of the book and then starting the book as well. Of course, it's always a recap of what we do on Tuesdays on the Dark Outpost. All right, without further ado, let's get started in the conclusion of our deep dive into Mardi Gras. If you did not see part one of Mardi Gras, we talked about the origins of the celebration, which actually comes down to the celebration of Dionyses. And in that video, we broke down the fact that we can speculate that Dionyses was probably a Nephilim or a giant. I will link that video down in the description box below if you missed it. Again, I want to say that in my opinion, in my humble opinion, as a human being living on this planet with all of you, I think a lot of times good and evil come down to the process of intention. Unless you're actually physically or emotionally and mentally hurting somebody on purpose, as we know a lot of these CULT members that are a part of the dark CULT do in some of these celebrations, then I believe you can actually make these celebrations good. So again, if you're not doing anything nefarious and you're just out there having a good time with your friends and family and you have the love of God in your heart, I don't think that we need to throw the baby out with the bathwater. This is the same opinion I have of Christmas Valentine's Day, which we have done a deep dive on Valentine's Day. Somebody asked about that. I will put that link down in the description box below because that video also plays into Mardi Gras as well, which we'll get to. But again, Mardi Gras is so ingrained into the New Orleans culture that it's not something for me anyway that I would want to see ripped away from the people of New Orleans because it possibly has a nefarious origin story. I think that we, the people, have the ability to change it, to make it something fun, something good. Whatever there is love and laughter, God is present. But with that being said in this deep dive today, finishing up our study of Mardi Gras, we are going to be talking about where these things come from, some of these traditional celebrations that we see in the Mardi Gras season. And of course, they do come from a very dark history. So as I said in the opening, the Mardi Gras season starts on January 6th, which is the Three Kings Day. It's the day that the Magi allegedly got to Jesus by following the Star of Bethlehem. Now we do know that Jesus was not born during Christmas. We know that Christmas itself is a Saturnalian holiday, and the new year, being January 1, is not the new year that God created for us, but rather a celebration of the God, John U. I will link that video again down in the description box below. Now one of the biggest parts of the Mardi Gras celebration is the King Cake. Now I am a huge fan of cakes. I have a big time sweet tooth. So anytime there's cake involved, I'm down. So I'm going to go over the story of the King Cake as far as the story that they want us to believe, and then we're going to break it down and look at its potential dark heritage. So again, the King Cake is a cake that's kind of like a cinnamon roll, and the icing of the cake, or the sugar on the cake, has the colors green, yellow, and purple. These are the traditional colors of Mardi Gras. Now green represents faith, purple represents justice, and gold represents power. Now most people are probably aware, especially if you live in the United States, that within the King Cake there's typically a plastic baby. Very interesting, right? Now if you were to get the slice of cake that has the baby in it, that was supposed to foretell good luck for you within this next year. This also means in many traditions that you will be the one responsible for providing the King Cake next year. But again, why is there a baby in the King Cake? Well many people will tell you that this represents the baby Jesus, and the baby is hiding in the King Cake just like baby Jesus and other babies hid from the wrath of King Herod. But of course, like most things, what they tell us is not necessarily the truth. Sometimes it's a manipulated truth, and sometimes it's a flat out lie. From what I can find in the 19th century, so the 1800s, there was a crew, or a mystic society, which we're going to get to, called the 12th Night Revelers. Now remember Dionyses was the god of revelry from our episode last week? Well apparently this crew started putting beans inside of their King Cake, and the story goes that whoever got the bean inside their slice of cake would go on to be the king or the queen of Mardi Gras. Allegedly this bean then turned into possibly an almond, or even a piece of jewelry as the time went on. And then the story goes, the story that they want us to know, that in the 1950s that bean or almond or piece of jewelry turned into a plastic baby. This is because during the 1950s in the bakery called Mackenzie's in New Orleans, a baker was duped into buying an overload of plastic babies from a traveling salesman. And thus this baker started putting these little plastic babies inside of the cakes instead of there being a bean or an almond or some jewelry. And this tradition caught on, and here we are in modern times and all the King Cakes have this plastic baby in them. Well it doesn't take much to do further research to see that this story might not be true. In fact in my opinion it's not true at all, it's just a facade. Because there are other stories of cakes back in Europe especially France where the celebrations really started where they were putting plastic babies inside of their cakes. Now for the average good-hearted person this could definitely be a representation of Jesus. But if you all remember back a few months ago, we again did a huge deep dive on the House of Bourbon back in France. In the House of Bourbon, Louis XIV being the very famous monarch from the House of Bourbon, where we get the name Louisianne from, the land of Louis. The House of Bourbon was notoriously known and caught up in a lot of scandals involving Satanism back in Paris. Once again all of those videos are down in the description box below in case you missed them. But if we go back even further from the House of Bourbon to the House of Valois and its queen, the last queen of this house, Catherine de Mareci. If you all remember from the deep dive we did on Catherine de Mareci, the Italian queen who married into the French family who was from a very powerful banking family just like the Rothschilds today had a lot of scandals surrounding her involving Satanism. In fact it was King Henry IV of France mother who wrote letters to Catherine regarding rumors that she ate, that she herself was a Now before the Great Awakening this information might have seemed a little odd and maybe just ancient gossip. But now we know a thing or two about a thing or two that's the thing about the Great Awakening. We wake up and we wake up greatly. Apocalypse again means to lift the veil. The veil has been lifted and we see the truth for what it is. So I speculate that the king cake got its name not from the three magi who went to visit the Christ child but from the monarchy of France itself and their habit of you guessed it. Now the Mardi Gras season itself is considered to be the carnival season and if you are from Brazil or if you're familiar with Brazil they have their equivalent of Mardi Gras called carnival. Now carnival means the raising of flesh. It literally means the celebration of our carnal nature. Now carnivals here where I live are typically like county fairs. There's not a whole lot of parades but in carnival in Brazil as well as Mardi Gras in New Orleans and the surrounding areas there are a lot of parades. In fact from what I could find there are over 60 parades. People who participate in these parades are often parts of crews which again we're going to get into in a minute or secret societies. They wear masks and they throw out beads. Now in some places women will lift their shirt up to get some beads. However in my research I have found that that's not really typical that people will just throw out beads anyway but the tradition of lifting up your shirt for beads leads us to a very interesting history. As I said the whole idea of carnival is the idea of raising flesh or giving into carnal nature. And back in Roman times during these festivals especially the celebration of Dionyses or Lou Perkelia which is the Valentine's Day celebration that happens during the Mardi Gras season which again I'll link that below. The pagan priest would parade around town with their idols. These pagan priests now again this was long before the birth of Jesus they would throw out herbs and money to the people. Now in a lot of our deep dives over the Canaanites especially over on the dark outpost we've spoken about stuff like divine. These are practices we still see in Hollywood today. You can also call this from their perspective anointed women. So in these festivals a lot of times women or sacrificial women were on the altar and then some of them were. The ones who were sometimes given sometimes this would lead to the pagan priest then giving the family money basically and sometimes money is in the form of jewelry which is where we get the Mardi Gras beads today. Now today they're plastic they're cheap they're thrown out they're not like they were back in Roman times but the idea of lifting up your shirt to get these beads does hail back from this idea of ritualistically women for blessings from the priest. Now we have been told throughout our education especially if you're from the western world Europe America Canada even Australia that when Christianity was introduced into the Roman Empire that they kind of merged a lot of the old pagan celebrations with the Christian ones to help the people convert to this new religion. Well breaking down the Council of Nicaea with Constantine in the fourth century we know this is not true because Constantine himself outlawed a lot of the celebrations that were held in Jewish heritage and since Christianity is supposed to be a form of Judaism or Judaism 2.0 we should have been then celebrating these Jewish celebrations. You see the founding church fathers in the Roman Empire were not interested in all in turning our world in the west into a Christian world in fact they will they were infiltrating this new religion with their old satanic religion in order to keep the power manifested for their god Lucifer and in fact I'm going to include a link down in the description box from the church of Satan where they basically tell you that this whole Mardi Gras celebration is satanic it has got nothing to do with Lent it's got nothing to do with Jesus at all for the powers that be again as I said in the beginning if your intention is through love and not to hurt anyone to celebrate Jesus and God I think it's fine but for them there was a very specific reason why they wanted this holiday put in the calendar to generate energy for their gods and their gods demons like the Nephilim Dionyses Pan the half-godic god and another one we're going to get to in a minute so another aspect of Mardi Gras is mask wearing in fact I read that people that are in the parades on the floats are like required by New Orleans law to wear a mask well that was interesting if you know anything about that let me know down in the comment section below now mask wearing was instituted by the French court when this area was still owned by the country of France especially when it comes to masked balls now again if you do follow the link to the church of Satan's website you will see that mask wearing is a huge part of satanic rituals we saw this in the movie eyes wide shut mask hide the identity of the person within the everyday human beings we are taught that the ritual of wearing mask during Mardi Gras allows the different classes of people to associate with each other because the identity of the person is not disclosed behind a mask we also know that when people wear mask they're able to act a little bit more carnal because again nobody knows who they are therefore in their real life or their life after Mardi Gras they will not be held accountable for carnal actions taken during this celebration now a lot of the balls and dances that happen during the Mardi Gras season even some if not most of the parades are put on by crews now I told you we were going to talk about crews K R E W E we spoke about them a little bit in our last episode crews are considered mystic secret societies now some of these crews might be quite harmless today but I guarantee you there are some that aren't now the head of each crew is kept secret nobody knows the identity of the person who leads up each crew and for my research I found there about 78 crews within New Orleans today I will again leave a link to that website the list of crews in the description box down below now most people again see the crews as basically just Mardi Gras organizers they are responsible for again a lot of the parades a lot of the floats for hosting the balls for really getting the party going during this roughly two month season now in order to go to a ball a masked ball for Mardi Gras you have to be invited by one of the crews if you're a part of the crew obviously you're going to get invited but they also will extend invitation to people in the community outside of their crew to come to the ball these invitations are done with great fanfare many of them are very ornate and beautiful in design and within these invitations there will be a little slip of paper that you bring with you to be able to get into the ball kind of like a secret handshake but it's just like a secret piece of paper that you were given specifically from somebody in the crew now on each invitation they will list the dress that they want you to wear so whether it's a ball a tired or costume or casual that will be listed again on the invitation now here's something interesting as well during these balls is where New Orleans has its debutantes now I am very familiar with debutantes sirens going off outside very very interesting I'm always curious as to what they're doing nowadays since the movie's getting getting quite intense but anyway I have experience with a debutante and and I was asked to be a debutante after you where I come from the debutante it's like your first year after college you go to college one year and then you get an invitation from the society ladies to be a debutante I was asked to be a debutante I was a ribbon bearer when I was like in the fifth grade the little girls become ribbon bearers and hold ribbons for the debutantes as they walk through I did that but because of where I was in school in my life I couldn't do the debutante when I was like 19 years old my sister however got to do it not something I regret saying no to because in today's society it's really just an excuse for a party but for those who are not familiar with debutantes debutantes are high society aristocratic balls and dances where fathers who are very usually very wealthy men in the in the community will debut their daughters so they're saying that their daughters are now ready to be married off basically of course these come from the times during the tradition where women had dowries and all that kind of stuff and where I grew up the debutante ball still happens today now even though you are asked to be a debutante usually that means that your family is in really good standing in the community you usually come from a pretty old money family a good family here in the south and the girls will wear white dresses and they are escorted out their names are put out over the speaker or whatever we do our debutante ball at the local country club and you're kind of paraded around and then the rest of the night it's just a party and a celebration now again in modern times none of the rituals of the debutante lease where I grew up kind of held out it was just an event you know it's not like your dad was showing you off to society at 19 years old and you immediately were married off no no no all of my peers and friends I grew up with they still had their choice of who they wanted to date and most of them didn't get married for many many many many years later when they were done with school and ready to settle down again it was just kind of this ceremony that is very much a part of the southern heritage so it's interesting that the debutantes are done in new orleans during the marty cross season for us it's usually done in the spring time like towards the end of of what would be the school year so the end of may but i'm sure i'm sure that there's some of the various stuff having to do with like the debutantes as well i mean you're literally giving your daughter away to society i actually know who was on the committee to pick the girls of the debutantes when i was growing up and i know this because one of the people on the committee to pick the girls who were to be debutantes i'm actually related to that's how i know but it's kept a big secret and again you can't just be a debutante like you have to be asked to be a debutante and it's going to always be girls that come from very wealthy families in the community very very interesting and in fact i know i just shared a couple of weeks ago i shared my playlist where i dug into like the savannah um stories and in the book midnight in the garden of good evil that we spoke about on that series they actually talk about the debutante ball there as well too it's it's a big deal like it's a super big deal in southern towns maybe not in big cities like Atlanta but in traditionally southern towns the debutante ball is a huge freaking deal for your society for your standing in society and all that kind of stuff so yeah they do that new orleans during mardi gras during these balls so when i read that like i had a lot of familiarity with these crews because again the committee that picks debutantes where i grew up were always secret as well you never knew who was actually on the committee that picked these girls except again i knew because one of my family members was on on the committee so usually these balls start off with what's called a tableau i hope i'm seeing that right it's like a play it's like a a just a court gesture like a comical pantomime and members of the crew will be cast in this play to put this play on then after that again the king and the queen or ordain the king and queen of the ball or ordained and again the debutantes are then brought out and offered up to the king and queen presented to them to them be presented to the new orleans society now i can imagine that a lot of these crews from what i researched and what i know about debutantes are probably very very powerful people within new orleans very wealthy people probably have a lot of heritage there and so again there's definitely that old southern aristocratic culture coming out in this ceremony now speaking of crews again from what i found there are about 78 crew active crews in new orleans some of them are what they call super crews and they're super super big and super super powerful one of these crews is called the crew of orpheus now orpheus was the musical son of zeus so i guess like dianesey's brother now again like we said in part one dianesey's mother was human like orpheus's mother was human these greek gods that we were taught were just mythological stories it now seems we're most likely nephilim now again i'm not going to go too much into detail about that part of this story because we did cover that last week and if you missed it again part one is in the description box below now the crew of orpheus was founded in 1993 by harry connick jr and his father harry connick senior along with the new orleans district attorney upon its founding there were about 700 members of this super crew and today there are 1500 members now this super crew the crew of orpheus the nephilim of music founded by harry connick jr and his dad along with the district attorney of new orleans is known for its floats in the parade in fact today they have about 38 floats some of the more notable floats in their parade are the fort foot long dragon and the 139 foot orpheus leviathan no joke i shit you not the orpheus leviathan if you know your bible you know what a leviathan is if you were joining us for all of our missing and banned books of the bible we literally just talked about the leviathan and the apocalypse of abraham this is the serpent of destruction owned by lucifer and they have a 139 foot float called the orpheus leviathan not only that but again this crew was founded by a very famous musician from new orleans along with the district attorney but it gets better than that so let's talk about some of the orpheus monarchs of pass now monarch we know is like a king or queen but it also comes from the monarch butterfly which is tied to so these orpheus monarchs include quentin tarantino sandra bullock glenn close whoopee goldberg and rice and tobey keith if that doesn't shout out red flag then i don't know what does so i guess the whole point of this as i started saying in the beginning are there people out there today that are a part of this dark c u l t that are harnessing the energy of monagra to do very nefarious things are they putting all this stuff out me open for us to see are they telling us that they're doing it yeah they sure are but that doesn't mean that every single person that participates in monagra is doing these things or is associated with this group of people and i do believe that when we flip into a new timeline and these people are no longer allowed to exist on our plane we the people the good people the people of the light will be able to reclaim some of these cultural celebrations for the good for the love and for humanity all right so let me know your thoughts and your opinions down in the comment section below i love hearing everybody's experiences with new orleans again i don't think you should stop celebrating if it's part of your heritage just because some nefarious people want to make everything bad doesn't mean it has to be bad we can reclaim that with our intention our next deep dive is going to be over and rice i am still very much working on a big series on voodoo and marie levo we will probably end our series on new orleans on that topic because it's a really big one and there's a lot there and i really want to make sure i do it justice and do it right and so i'm really trying to work on that for a long period of time before i present it to you guys so the next deep dive again will be and rice all right guys thank you so much to josh mckay for doing our music if you would like to purchase the full song there is always a link down in the description box below thank you to
