"Black Cube" - wonder what they're going for there. Maybe "Sinister Obelisk" was taken.
- TinyRick 8mo agoBlack cube is a common form of symbolism in occult/Kabbalah traditions
- gunapologist99 8mo agoAs well as Islam (the Kaaba).
- tolerance 8mo agoThe Kaaba was not covered in black until around the 13 century.
- cr125rider 8mo agoThey wanted everyone to know they are the bad guys, just like Black Rock.
- nmeofthestate 8mo agoIt works, to be honest - I would never let Beige Rock manage my money.

- p0w3n3d 8mo agoBlack Rock Black Stone... Maybe even Black Dodecahedron someday
- fakedang 8mo agoBlackstone is actually a cleverly chosen name after the founders themselves - Steve Schwarzmann and Peter Peterson.

- selimthegrim 8mo agoIsn't Islam the one with the Black Cube?
- rtkwe 8mo agoJudaism also has important black cubes in the form of tefillin worn by adult male jews during one of their daily prayers on weekdays. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tefillin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tefillin
- tinfoilhatter 8mo agoYes, the kabba is also a nod to Saturn (which is why I said all Abrahamic religions incorporate some Saturn worship into them), and the people walking around the kabba make the rings of Saturn (if you employ some time-lapse photography of them walking around, it's quite obvious). Saturn has a hexagonal shaped storm on its north pole (and the all-seeing eye on its south pole). If you collapse a cube into two dimensions, you get a hexagon.
- actionfromafar 8mo agoOk, maybe put the hat back on. At least the abrahamic religions hardly knew about the hexagonally shaped storm.
- BigTTYGothGF 8mo ago> rings of Saturn Not observed until 1610 > Saturn has a hexagonal shaped storm on its north pole Not observed until 1981/1987 > and the all-seeing eye on its south pole Not immediately clear when first observed, I'll bet it wasn't until Cassini got there in 2004. I appreciate the creativity in a new-to-me conspiracy theory, but be a little more careful about the historical record.

- underlipton 8mo agoJust more cultural appropriation. Black Cube, Blackrock, Blackstone... And not a black person in sight. Someone even took Blackstreet which was already ours. /s
- EdwardDiego 8mo agoAnyone registered The Torment Nexus as an LLC yet?
- mentalgear 8mo agoAligns just well with the world's other top villain entities: BlackStone, BlackRock, BlackWater ...
