I thought it would be a good time to remind everyone of the dark origins of gematria. That is, conspiracy theory gematria. And let’s start with the current U.S. Administration.
Although I still have regular non internet interactions with delusional people that insist that what’s going on with the economy is normal and good, the rational and sane world is pretty much totally pissed off. When you’re go to strategy is to break things so that it’s impossible for the enemy to fix all of it, the blaming the other guy tactic starts to get overused. I still contend the GOP would have been a lot better off playing it cool for just a bit while longer instead of just jumping in head first with Trump. But I’ve had the luxury of knowing Trump’s uncontrollable narcissistic nature having worked for an extended time with a toxic person. A person that was nowhere near the level of ill mental health that Trump displays.
The fighting and jockeying for position and trying to grab as much power as possible is natural. Without any checks and balances, there’s no honor among thieves. No handshake that can’t be ignored. No treaty that can’t be broken. No alliance that can’t be suspended at a moment notice. Opportunism is how conspiracy gematria started. A niche that presented itself as the Alex Jones content conflated free speech with “good ideas”. The entire conspiracy gematria community was formed based on a handful of early players who burst on the scene that essentially followed Jones business model. Like Trump’s State of the Union address, MAYBE IF I SCREAM LOUDER PEOPLE WILL ADORE ME WHEN I GIVE THEM BAD INFORMATION.
Now, while Jones focused on overpriced supplements and survival gear the gematria community did have one original part. But let’s bring up Enshittification for those that don’t know. It’s the process of how a website starts of decent, then ignores user value in favor of advertising $, then just self destructs as the goal ends up just being to extract as much money before the site dies. So since gematria had numbers, and part of the Enshittification of the entire internet is gamblification, gambling was the go to for those misinforming and disinforming.
Gamblification, pretty much a subset of Enshittification, is how gambling is everywhere now. Things that shouldn’t be gambling are turned into gambling. Traditional more common Gamblification is something like a game with loot boxes where you pay hoping you pick up something that gives you a game edge. A bragging right. Gematria, instead of gamblifying its source material of conspiracy content had a natural release valve. Sports betting, especially the love affair with American football. Football games have lots of numbers, lots of variables, lots of fans. The perfect conspiracy lite pipeline beginning point. A fake edge to one up the bookies by a magic code.
I always got the sense that a significant number of sports gematria didn’t care as much about the gematria as the gambling. Gambling, being designed specifically as a no win proposition over the long run gave rise to a lot of unhappy with traditional gambling losers looking to make it big with something. ANYTHING. To maybe break their losing streak. After looking closely for any media reports for all these years, I’ve yet to see a media story where somebody has reported life altering gematria based income. That’s real media, not social media where the reported winners all follow the “look at my gangsta lifestyle while I charge you for my magic secret” format.
If you haven’t figured it out yet, the internet can be a psychologically damaging place. Instead of positive social skills people only learn what gives them immediate gratification. Addictive behavior is encouraged. Pull that slot machine arm today, deal with long term planning tomorrow. A tomorrow where you’re a little bit poorer and a little more unfulfilled and psychologically damaged. Instead of socialization, the normalization of toxic behavior is thrown in your face. Come for that sweet Super Bowl pick, stick around and hear about how trans people or other arbitrary scapegoat is the problem. And maybe you’ll start to think about other solution to your mental state. Like, nothing could possibly be your fault.
One of the keys to learning who to trust is how often the person you’re listening to acts like a hypocrite. When confronted with objective truth of being wrong it’s best not to present your stance as supporting diametrically opposed positions. Lack of consistency is hand and hand with hypocrisy. It’s interesting to note that many of Zach’s videos included wording about how the elite were giving the masses their bread and circuses while ironically normalizing the gambling that is actual circus activity. But search for a buck or two thousand, well that doesn’t allow for much consistency. You’ve got to go with the flow, and speak what everyone else is complaining about.

Sorry for that if it’s triggering, but the point is to show the oddity of how completely different the target of the wrath is. A direct and extended verbal assault on Jews that is out of place with the focus of the Jesuits today and equally out of place with the simultaneous for 2016 Freemason/Illuminati/NWO content at that time. Does anybody even casually mention the Freemasons anymore in conspiracy talk? Give it enough time to normalize again, but for now it’s so limited it’s pretty much non existent.
But don’t worry about Zach. Sure the gematria content in YouTube is mercifully minimal these days. Not having channels suspended for violations is also normalized. Any content that leads to more views and more advertisers is good for YouTube. Regardless of its moral repugnance. And he’s probably blitz scaled him way into long term passive income and who knows what other deals with the devil he’s struck up? Money laundering commercial real estate? Copyright violations? Video distribution?!? It’s far more likely that someone openly admitting to want to create his own Holocaust is willing to say anything for a buck and heaven forbid he’s actually serious about it.
The final point is that gematria isn’t the problem. It’s a tool to be twisted into part of some other scheme. Years in the future something else weird and seemingly harmless will replace the hollow area formed by gematria for the last decade. Someone new who talks fast and pretty who likely has mental health issues will catch the fancy of the current crop of no critical thinkers and opportunists. Somebody will always be looking back in time because there’s not enough education to support innovation of something meaningful like a better wealth distribution system or a governmental system that takes checks and balance. This era of normalization is breeding a wave of deregulation that doesn’t go well with the costs of decades of ignoring climate change.
