Ba'al was a god of the Phoenicians... not Mesopotamian.

That owl statue in this video is Moloch from Bohemian Grove in Northern California, it's where global elite powerful men gather to make mock sacrifices to their Demon god. It's called the cremation of care, they fake sacrifice children so as a symbolic gesture to cleanse their conscious of all wrongdoing, they mock "fate" a ominous voice in the loudspeaker's, and somehow feel better about themselves. Essentially it's a age old messed up Illuminati tradition, in which the elite who are damned in every religion, seek refuge in occult/satanic ancient esoteric beliefs.

Encyclopedia of Religion;"The name Baal (bʿl) is a common Semitic appellative meaning “lord” that is used as a proper name for the West Semitic storm god in ancient Near Eastern texts dating from the late third millennium BCE through the Roman period.Identified as the warrior Hadd (or Hadad) in the Late Bronze Age texts from Ugarit,Baal is a popular deity in Syro-Palestinian or “Canaanite” religious traditions as a god of storms and fertility." Mesopotamia is not mentioned at all in the article

I asked you about "Baal" as a "Mesopotamian god of thunder" as you call him in your description, and you give a reference to the Canaanite god that I'm perfectly aware of. What reason do you have to call the Canaanite Baal "Mesopotamian"? What culture based in Mesopotamia (your three examples are all of the Canaanite god) had a storm god called Baal? I've never heard of any such god by that name from any culture indigenous to or based in that region, that's why I'm curious.

Other than that, fascinating and inspiring lyre-music as always.

Do you have any references for "Baal" as a Mesopotamian god of thunder? All the ba'als I know of are of Northwest Semitic origin, e.g. Canaanite, Phoenician, Carthagan or Philistine, but not Mesopotamian (i.e. Assyro-Babylonian). Also, the Northwest Semitic word Ba'al does not exist in that form in Akkadian, but as "bêlu(m)"(lord, master), which incidentally would not by itself be a name for specific deity in Babylonia and Assyria, though e.g. Marduk would often be referred to as bêl Marduk.
