Which is where Plato in a book 2,300 years, or whatever it was, 2025, 200 something years ago, said it is in the south western part of the Atlantic. Exactly. He said it's past the pillars of Hercules. And that's the Rock of Gibraltar.

Well, 2000, 200 plus years ago, the father of philosophy, Plato, said that Atlantis was a real place. He even said where Troy was. They thought he was wrong. They found it a decade ago. He said it existed out in the Atlantic Ocean. They had some free energy source, flying ships, automaton robots, and that the power source blew up and darkened the skies for many years and caused a mini ice age.

But Plato wrote a book called The Republic many, many years ago. And in that book, he talks about not just the structure of society and how it should be organized with sort of a three-tiered pyramidal kind of structure.

But he also talked about in a later book that there would be a council of the night, he called it. And this council of night would be like a kind of private oligarchical intelligence government. So you'd have essentially spies that would meet at night. They would be the real oligarchical control structure for the perfect society or the ideal society. And they would have inside information and they would meet secretly.

Unless Atlantis never really went away. What? And the ancients said it did. And everything Plato said, pretty much, people for thousands of years didn't know he was accurate. 2,200. Years ago or so, when he was writing his different books, the top philosopher that kind of created the ideas and the genesis of what Western culture is today. Top philosopher. But he was also a depopulationist, and that's why the globalists are like that, so that comes from him. At least he popularized it in the modern Western sphere. Take the good with the bad. It was an absolutely real thing. 12,000 years before or so was out in the Atlantic Ocean and had this energy source and it blew up and the island sunk. And then he would also say, this is where this famous place was or that famous place was that one ever found. And finally they find these cities and things. It's exactly where he said.

So we've talked about this a bit in the past, but Plato didn't definitively say that Atlantis was real. Alex is misremembering details from a couple of stray passages in some of the Socratic dialogues, Timaeus and Critias. In the latter, Critias talks about his grandfather hearing about Atlantis from the mythic Greek leader Solon, who had heard about it from the Egyptians. People who study the Greek philosophers pretty well understand that Plato wasn't saying that Atlantis was a real place. Rather, it was a metaphor for how even utopian societies can fail if they're led astray.

And people like Plato, who was a pretty mainline historian and philosopher, they report about Atlantis like it was absolutely well-known that it existed.

But there's one part he wrote about that they never found, and that was Atlantis. In the Atlantic Ocean, an island that had flying machines and an energy source that glowed white light that was its power, but that exploded.

If you actually are really just going off of Plato, which is, you know, a respected source in many ways, whatever he's talking about, Atlantis is very unspecific. But he talks about it, like the destruction of Atlantis was the punishment of God because they were too warlike. They went around and they disrespected the will of the gods. They fucked with Athens. It was too much. So they got destroyed by the gods because they became too decadent. It wasn't that they created nuclear weapons and then destroyed themselves.

He said there was a base in the Atlantic Ocean that had flying machines.

If he had, he would know that in the actual text, it explains that Plato heard this from his grandfather, who had been told it by Solon. Solon, the great ruler of Greece. Solon went to Egypt, and he met some of the rulers there, and they told him the myths of Atlantis, and he brought it back and told Plato's... Patronage, his father's, and it got passed on to him as sort of folk history.
