The Greek Culture Ministry is enhancing fire and lightning protection at the archaeological site of Knossos on Crete as part of a 3.5 million euros project funded by the Regional Operational Program “Crete 2021–2027”.

The upgrades are part of a broader plan to safeguard and enhance the site’s infrastructure and visitor experience.

Knossos, Greece’s second-most visited archaeological site after the Acropolis of Athens, is central to a strategic ministry initiative aimed at preserving the island’s Minoan heritage.

UNESCO nomination in sight

“Knossos and five other Minoan palace complexes are proposed as a serial nomination for the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2025,” said Culture Minister Lina Mendoni.

She noted that restoration efforts are already underway and include improvements in accessibility, site functionality, and safety—specifically addressing fire and lightning risks.

“We are focused on sustainable management and elevating the visitor experience, while ensuring the safety of staff and guests,” Mendoni added, thanking the Region of Crete and Governor Stavros Arnaoutakis for their ongoing support.

Modern safety systems for an ancient site

The fire protection project includes a new suppression unit linked to the site’s water reservoir, an underground pipe network, and a permanent water supply system with fire hydrants. Fire monitors and portable extinguishers will be placed strategically, supported by a detection system, evacuation maps, and assembly points.

Three lightning protection systems will also be installed across the site, along with a public address system to broadcast emergency alerts.

These critical upgrades align with the ministry’s long-term goal of safeguarding monuments while offering a modern and secure experience for visitors.

CONTROLLERS

“Whether in actual fact the policy of the boot-on-the-face can go on indefinitely seems doubtful. My own belief is that the ruling oligarchy will find less arduous and wasteful ways of governing and of satisfying its lust for power, and these ways will resemble those which I described in Brave New World. Within the next generation I believe that the world’s rulers will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging and kicking them into obedience.” – Aldous Huxley – Letter to George Orwell about 1984 in 1949

OVER AND OVER

THE ELITE NEVER, EVER GET MASSACRED OR WIPED OUT with their wealth. They just move. They move all down through the ages. They bring on catastrophes to an empire when they've used up that empire and they’ve already created another one to move into and then they flatten the old one and move on. This has been the system for thousands and thousands and thousands of years at least. - Alan Watt
Artificial messages coming from the environment and through controlled dark portal organizations and mind-controlled people feels; metallic, abrasive, acidic, energetically burdensome, and sharp knife or blade like. Sometimes it can make you feel suddenly physically ill with headaches, nausea, or body parts with stabbing pains, and even diarrhea when you come into contact with it. AI feels sickening to the Cosmic Christ Consciousness. [https://rielpolitik.com/2022/08/16/archons-overlords-magick-black-suns-lisa-renee-globalists-standing-at-the-ready/]
“There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution” ― Aldous Huxley

Watchers?

Watcherism is the worldwide religion of the ruling class, make no mistake about it. Forget about nationality, forget about ethnicity, forget about inherited religious tradition. None of that matters - not one single bit - at the elite level.  This is the religion they all share, and they tell you so over and over and over and over again. Thankfully, I think that message is sinking through to all but the most myopic and obstinate. - Christopher Knowles, Secret Sun blog

Hi folks, I am Alan Watt and this is Cutting Through The Matrix on February the 9th 2009.  For newcomers, look into www.cuttingthroughthematrix.com and download as many of the previous shows I've done, in the past, over the years, as you wish. I try to give you short-cuts to the big picture and get us above all the small bickering at the bottom; and there's also a lot of misleading information too, that keeps us trapped for years sometimes, in different tunnels and that's what it is, it's a world full of tunnels of information. There are some people who are experts in particular tunnels and it's quite good too, when you talk to them, because they know every part of it, in one particular area, and they can talk forever, with details and data, but we have to get them all together, to come out the tunnels and combine all this information, to get the big-big picture and I try to do that as well, on these talks. You can download as many of the previous talks I'v...
