Any connection between the monoliths that were popping up and the monoliths/obelisk mentioned in William Coopers Mystery Babylon Series?
Ancient mystery schools/religion continue today.
They develop science, hide their developments and use their science, knowledge and secrets to GOVERN others. They were advisors, priests and the power behind the thrones in ancient times and today - ruling from the shadows.
Sounds like the cabal to me
