Ah yea. Was fascinated by the Donald Marshall story. I believe him, although I think it may be more of a VR trick that gets pulled on him, some kind of mind control that makes it so he is (((their))) puppet.
This parasite/takeover/vril/alien/entity idea thread runs through many sources. As in, people don't understand what it is they are experiencing and try to explain. So the explanation is not a lie and not wrong, but is incomplete or limited to the frame of reference of the individual. When the same info comes in from multiple sources, explained differently but with a common thread, I tend to pay more attention to that and not dismiss it as fiction or crazy people rambling.
I would say, don't be too quick to drink the koolaid. Collect it first. Line up all the different colors on your shelf and study them. Mix them all together and then test it for poison…okay I am going a little far with that analogy but what I mean is, suspend all 'believing', gather information from many sources and see how it fits. See if it starts to form a clearer picture and what ends up being useless crap that can be tossed.
On the essenes. Funny you should mention that and how you have an aversion to them. I just listened to a Jeffrey Daugherty video where he makes a pretty powerful case that the essenes may have never existed (made up by illuminati/freemasons/jesuits) and if they did they were dirty homo-pedos. Here it is if you're interested.

I am on the fence about vegetarianism, but 100% believe that veganism is a trap made to weaken us. Worst of all, diet has been weaponized and used as a tool to judge and discourage people who climb the mountain of wisdom. Don't let what you choose to eat or drink be turned by others into a tool to beat you with or a parade of personal guilt.
