HISTORY IS A LIE
An intense series of videos by Gregory Fluhrer
SO WHO IS THIS GUY?
I am completely new to Gregory Fluhrer, better known online as Armoured Skeptic (or Sir Skeptalot). He is a German-Canadian Atheist YouTuber who focuses on mainly religion and often debunks many statements made by religious fundamentalists and apologetics. He also has two other channels called Armoured Media and Armoured Gregory.
He is known for criticizing social justice and feminism. I have found his work quite compelling, so I watched several videos before sharing about it here.
“Fluhrer was born in Canada of German descent to a Christian family. His mom was active within the church day-care and he would often attend church on a daily basis in his youth. He would often sit and wait for the church minister to finish his ceremony and would often get bored. One day however, his father stopped attending church and later on both himself and his mom also stopped going. His family remained Christian but never spoke about religion ever again. During his school days, Fluhrer got a learning disability and was made fun of by students, pitied by his principal, and talked down to by his teachers. Due to this disability, he was never granted a college degree and attended a local university instead of his chosen campus and was soon later on diagnosed with undiagnosed depression that he had all his life.
Fluhrer then turned to a religious group that he had known in his childhood as he became more and more paranoid and needed help. He read the Bible constantly and believed it to the point where he was willing to follow Biblical Traditions and adopt the beliefs and lifestyle of the Messianic Jews, a type of Christianity that combines many Jewish traditions, even though it was the most craziest version of Christianity and followers of the faith itself are known to live in off-grid mountain communities. Church followers told him about the apocalypse and made him paranoid once more to the point where he spent all of his money on survival gear for the apocalypse that his group told him about and his marriage soon fell apart as he wasted so much time away from his wife.
Eventually, Fluhrer saw the hypocrisy and insanity of his former group and knew that he had to rebuild his shattered relationships. He then left his religion behind and became an atheist and decided to join an atheist group called The Atheist Experience and watched videos by both CultOfDusty and The Amazing Atheist. He met Atheist where he and his friends were accused of sexism and raping and were soon attacked with false accusations all for having a different opinion than the other activists. He then left Atheist+ and the Free-Thought Blog as he saw them to be no different than the previous religious group that he had left before both with similar signs. He then decided to stand on his own and became the Armoured Skeptic that he is today.
Unmasked
Armoured Skeptic officially revealed his face in September 2, 2015 when he appeared on the Drunken Peasants Podcast. He made the decision after he was doxxed by an unhinged YouTuber by the name of Jenny McDermott who accused Armoured of trying to have sex with her and revealed several private Facebook conversations between them to prove it, though none of them actually demonstrated his alleged desire for sex. McDermott did this with the intention of defaming Armoured Skeptic after she concluded that he was "MRA-lite" because he was friends with anti-feminists YouTubers like Shoe0nHead and Sargon of Akkad. McDermott had already built up a notoriety of herself in the atheist YouTube community by targeting members with high subscriber counts and doing things like false-DMCAing and exploiting personal tragedies to gain attention to herself.
McDermott later made a false rape accusation against Skeptic using very flimsy logic and blatantly untrue facts. She accused him of being a paedophile and committing statutory rape on his then-fiancée, Shoe0nHead, claiming she was only 17 when they started dating. In reality, Shoe was already in her 20's by the time she and Skeptic began dating. Additionally, 17 years is well within the age of consent in their respective states (17 in New York, 16 in Ontario). McDermott then proceeded to openly doxx him (again) by revealing his full name. This resulted in her channel being terminated and Skeptic filing a lawsuit against her for libel and slander.” ~ https://youtube.fandom.com/wiki/Armoured_Skeptic
The online spat eventually petered out. Thankfully Gregory went on to greater things as you can see from the video which inspired me to find out about the guy.
Some Greek guy recommended this substack. I listened to part of the video discussed above. The guy seems to discuss a lot of stuff, much of which I'm familiar with, but not all.
The Saturn Theory seems to me to be the best explanation of ancient myths. I hope to discuss it a bit on my new substack ere long. The Saturn theory is based on evidence that the ancient Sun god was Saturn, not the Sun. The original names for Saturn were later transferred to the Sun when Saturn left the vicinity of Earth.
I agree that much of history is a lie. The best website on that, IMO, is http://mileswmathis.com/updates.html . Most shootings, serial killings etc are fake. Many tragic events are fake, like the Hindenburg and the Titanic and Custer's Last Stand and the gunfight at OK Corral. Even many events in major wars are fake. And the conspirators appear to be the Ruling Class Plutocrats. Intel is their tool. All governments are under their near absolute control.
Wow! This is fantastic research!
No one has ever really bothered to take the time to look into something I've sent them like this. So thank you.
I had never really done a deep dive into his past, so I have learned something from your research on him.
I had only stumbled on his YouTube work maybe.... 18 months ago? Watching him evolve in real time (both personality-wise, and the pivot in the type of content), and seeing some of his recent community posts (the ones im thinking of specifically may be on his other channel), kinda ties it all together. His latest posts definitely had undertones of depression and giving up - YouTube started significantly fucking with his channel numbers & growth shortly after he started the history is a lie series. Cant help but feel empathetic for him, poor guy was just searching for meaning.... purpose.... belonging.... arent we all? And I could see the excitement in him again when he did the series. He was PASSIONATE again. Then YouTube said "Nope, not today buddy! We dont like TRUTH or QUESTIONS on this platform!".
Hes had quite a few unfortunate experiences in his life but it seems like he has grown from it and started to blossom. I thought his History is a Lie series was really interesting. Maybe its because I stumbled upon it at a time when I too was looking for meaning, purpose, something new.... (and this was RIGHT after I shed a ton of friends... mid-hoax-demic... after the whole world went fucking insane, I became more reclusive, shut down, stayed home a lot, angry at the world).
Anyway, what did you think of the series? Of course I take it with a grain of salt, but Skeptic builds on some of the other research of Spacebusters earlier videos. And you know I love those guys 👏
