“I protect the hive; when the system is out of balance, I correct it.” ~ Adam Clay in The Beekeeper
The Beekeeper is an action thriller that revolves around former military operative Adam Clay (Jason Statham), a retired member of a secretive group called “Beekeepers.” The covert organization operates outside the normal structure of government and dedicates itself to safeguarding the world.
When his aging landlady falls victim to a devastating phishing scam that leaves her finances in ruins, Clay feels compelled to reassume his previous role and embarks on a mission of vengeance. As he uncovers intelligence agency corruption that leads him to the highest seat of power in the United States, he is confronted with the shocking revelation that a presidential campaign has been financed through illicit phishing scams and tainted money.
The Beekeeper helps you appreciate light the ever-evolving landscape of cybercrime as it grows increasingly sophisticated and corporate and enjoys very powerful protection. This phenomenon is highlighted recently by esteemed journalist Bob Sullivan, an expert on cybercrime and financial fraud. Sullivan’s work indicates that these intricate schemes, orchestrated by corporate entities, demand an entirely new level of caution and vigilance. As he explains, “Increasingly, Internet scams are being run by organized crime organizations that combine the dark side of street gangs with Fortune 500 sales tactics.”
We recommend that you learn about Sullivan’s fascinating insights at his Substack, The Red Tape Chronicles, where he dives into the evolving landscape of Internet crime. He emphasizes the importance of learning from others’ experiences and approaching the online world with a discerning mindset. As an illustration, he presents one of the less severe instances of cybercrime:
“Imagine spending all year meticulously booking hotels and flights and piling up credit card purchases designed to maximize rewards points—and then logging in to find all those points have been stolen by a hacker. And you are unable to book that precious two-week family trip because a criminal has raided your rewards account.”
With news of “dead bodies outside scam call centers,” it’s time to sound the alarm on fraud.
The movie can be watched on various platforms.

While I cannot condone vigilante justice in a society that actually adheres to and enforces the Rule of Law, I lately wish there was someone like the Beekeeper (or Boondock Saints, or V from V for Vendetta) who would right the wrongs when Mr. Global et al are so hell-bent on lawlessness and creating mass atrocity.

The Rule of Law is a uniquely Western idea that most of the world has absolutely no value for at all. In a increasingly global world how would the Rule of Law even function? The Rule of Law is implicit in Western Philosophical ideas that are unique to Western peoples as a trait of their genetic heritage. What is happening now is that the Rule of Law is being superseded and supplanted by the Rule of Beasts (the Law of the Jungle/Natural Law).
For example, take Lincoln’s plan for Liberia. Rich in natural resources, they were given an identical Constitution to the USA and set on the path to a Republic for freed slaves. But instead of going to the moon, or inventing all of the modern world and everything good in it like White men, they have cannibal wars, 80% of the female population has been raped and almost the entire population has eaten human flesh more than once or repeatedly as a matter of course while finding a drowned or other dead body. This is the law of the Jungle…the Beast which is how most of the world operates and they are winning, we are losing. It is the tall poppy syndrome (a system based solely in envy, strife and hate rather than any merit; paradoxically the first thing to be poisoned was ACTUAL MERIT…which is now called ‘hate’; lol), again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tall_poppy_syndrome
However…it should be noted that a society that dies by or through its ethics and morality (or religion like Christian Russia’s mass extermination at the hands of the Bolsheviks) can also no longer pass these values on which begs the question…how ethical were they in the first place since they were incapable of prolonging the life of their progeny? Sparta, who was wiped right off the entire planet for bucking the central bankers and going off the gold standard to moving to hardened iron, was wiped out by a series of wars with Persia who was hired by the same central bankers which led to their decline and eventual extermination (see the true story of Ghaddafi if you want to see this same situation played out in modern times).

The King Killers gave him the death of a king though. We are all fighting in a war that is thousands of years old and most people barely grasp…let alone have the balls to take a side in and stand by it as a ‘prisoner of war’ or as one of the martyred dead. Steve Bannon talks about the importance of new faces rising to combat the march of tyranny when he is politically imprisoned by petty tyrants in an episode which is right out of the fall of the Roman Empire.

Rev 6:10
And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost Thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?”
Example: Nero fiddle while Rome burned. Lies on top of lies.
The popular legend that Nero played the lyre while Rome burned “is at least partly a literary construct of Flavian propaganda … which looked askance on the abortive Neronian attempt to rewrite Augustan models of rule”.[71]
Tacitus [Nero’s mortal enemy] suspends judgment on Nero’s responsibility for the fire; he found that Nero was in Antium when the fire started, and returned to Rome to organize a relief effort, providing for the removal of bodies and debris, which he paid for from his own funds.[72][73] After the fire, Nero opened his palaces to provide shelter for the homeless, and arranged for food supplies to be delivered in order to prevent starvation among the survivors.[72] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nero
How many modern politicians do you see opening their own homes for the victims of Lahaina, or paying for the reconstruction form their own funds or comforting the population? Rather, they engineered the burning of Lahaina in order to land grab the property and build a new ‘Green City’ in its place (there is plenty of documentation of the new green agenda which was put in place long before the city burned). So whose hands are we in right now?
As well as the Fiddle/Fire lies there were no Christians in Rome during Nero’s time as the first Epistle of the NT was not written until 70AD. Nero dies 2 years before the first Epistle was ever written. The Flavians, however, did adopt treasonous, immoral and Jewish Josephus ‘Flavius’ into the Emperors household for his work in destroying and overthrowing the Roman Republic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephus
The Rule of Law died in Nero’s time too with the fall and plundering of the Republic and the horrible deaths of millions of its citizens during the fall. What people think of as a ‘recent phenomenon’ is actually thousands of years old and thousands of years struggle and hardship. We are actually much closer to late stage hyperinflation Roman collapse then anything resembling Nero’s time period.
“The closer the collapse of an Empire, the crazier its laws.” – Cicero
Beekeepers there are, but most of them are unlikely and totally unsung hero’s who are unknown, murdered or imprisoned in life and are then slandered in death…similar to Isaiah who was sawn in half by the Jews for his prophecies regarding their future and the coming Messiah who would save humanity from them. https://www.christianstudylibrary.org/article/hebrews-1137-sawed-two
“One of the finest things ever done by the mob was the crucifixion of Christ. Intellectually it was a splendid gesture. But trust the mob to bungle. If I’d had charge of executing Christ I’d have handled it differently. You see, what I’d have done was had him shipped to Rome and fed him to the lions. They never could have made a Savior out of excrement” – Ben Hecht, A Jew in Love.
Christian:
I just looked up Ben Hecht’s book – the description says it was about a “publisher who makes everyone around him suffer.”
Remind you of anyone we know?
If you mean Maxwell (aka Binyamin Hoch), then yes since that empire controls all of textbook publishing in the USA.
Pre-COVID (2019) I was working on a Masters and then subsequent Phd in Biochemistry. One of the electives I took was Philosophy. I was astonished that large sections of the original works were cut into pieces, removing many of the greatest moral questions entirely.
There were no notations that this had been done or footnotes anywhere in the book (and I went page by page through the entire book in an effort to uncover how bad things really were at this late stage) so in my opinion it was completely deceitful as it presented itself as the whole literary work rather than a condensed radically altered version.
When I complained about this to my class and the professor no one cared…but they were totally missing out on the greatest commentaries and questions of the last 3,000 years, poignant compelling questions that are still relevant today and would come away thinking they had been ‘educated’. The things they chose to cut out were absolutely profound. Thank goodness for the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy online…if they have eviscerated the great works of the Western world like this at the Masters level imagine what they are removing and inserting into other textbooks and how long before their alterations are permanent and pervasive.
Thus ended my ‘collegiate’ Masters attempt number II. I was going to get throw out anyway (most likely) since I was in the hot seat for refusing to censor my speech or bend the knee two semesters into my journey. Lmao…life is such an amazing ride! Have you ever heard Bill Hicks speak on Life?
