Mysterious Universe
Kazakhstan. Aside form the obvious Borat jokes, a huge number of Westerners know next to nothing about this Eurasian country… despite the fact that it’s the ninth largest nation in the world. Another thing you might not have heard, is the theory that Kazakhstan’s young capital – Astana – is being planned as a future capital of the New World Order.
The conspiracy forums are rife with discussions about this Kazakh city. Some of them theorise that in the wake of an as-yet unknown apocalyptic event, Astana is poised to become the power centre of a newly united Eurasian continent and a key player in a sinister ‘New World Order’. Other theorists get lost in analysis of the name itself (an anagram of ‘Satana’) or in the fact that Kazakhstan is reckoned to be the birthplace of the apple… a fruit which, in many esoteric traditions, symbolises forbidden knowledge and by association the rejection of God’s law.
But why Kazakhstan, you might well be asking yourself. Why should Astana, a city largely unheard of in the Western world, be the focus of such bizarre and elaborate theories?
Because the city itself is seven shades of crazy, that’s why.
