Inside Job: Who really destroyed the One Ring?
|
Can't Post
|
|
King Elessar's One Ring Commission officially found that Frodo Baggins was responsible for the destruction of the Ring. The commission's three volume report (published as The Downfall of the Lord of the Rings and the Return of the King) describes the plan proposed by Gandalf the Grey and Elrond Halfelven to bring the One Ring to Orodruin in Mordor and destroy it by throwing it back into the lava vent where it was forged.
However, this report is pure fiction, a government whitewash whose purpose is to obscure the real events! The evidence is clear. The destruction of the One Ring was an inside job. The Witch King of Angmar, in collusion with the other eight Nazgul, conspired to destroy the One Ring and eliminate Sauron.
Consider the following evidence: - After Sauron's defeat by the Last Alliance, the Witch King took over his organization, eventually amassing the resources to found his own independent kingdom in Angmar. Sauron's return put an end to the Witch King's plans. His posession of the Nine Rings for Mortal Men ensured the unwilling obedience of the Witch King and the other Ringwraiths. Hence the motive for destroying the One Ring (and thus, Sauron). The Witch King wanted to remove the sole being who stood between himself and absolute power, freeing the Nine Rings from the One Ring's domination. The rest of the Nazgul were along for the ride.
- The Witch King had both the One Ring and its bearer within arm's reach at the dell beneath Weathertop. It would have been the work of a few seconds to kill Frodo and seize the Ring for Sauron. Yet instead the Witch King stabbed him with a Morgul knife! This wound was meant to enslave Frodo to the Witch King's will and force him to carry out the Witch King's orders — which were to proceed to Mordor and destroy the Ring. We have only Elrond's word that the fragment of the Morgul Blade was destroyed.
- We are expected to believe that two Hobbits without any wilderness survival or mountaineering training scaled the treacherous hills of the Emyn Muil, passed through the Dead Marshes, evaded Orc patrols and rampaging oliphaunts, and crossed the desolate plain of Gorgoroth — all without supplies or specialized equipment. To anyone familiar with this race of lazy, comfort-loving gluttons, the very idea is ludicrous. They had to have help, and lots of it.
- Witnesses from Minas Morgul testified before the Commission that Smeagol was an agent of Angmar. He was allowed to escape from Mordor by the Witch King and ordered to find the One Ring. His suspiciously well-timed offer of help and his efforts to ingratiate himself with Frodo ensured that Frodo and Sam would go exactly where the Witch King wanted them to go.
- The One Ring Commission wants us to think that Frodo and his companions evaded the Witch King not once, but twice! Frodo and Sam's tale of their escape from the Witch King at Minas Morgul is ridiculous. We're expected to believe that Sauron's chief servant could not locate the One Ring — mere yards away! — despite being attuned to its presence. The only possible conclusion is that he knew the Ring was there and allowed Frodo, Sam and Smeagol to escape in order to take it into Mordor.
- Could a clinically depressed young woman and a flighty, immature Hobbit really destroy the most powerful undead being in Middle-earth? It's unlikely, to say the least. Yet this is exactly the scenario that the One Ring Commission would have us believe. Contrary to popular belief, the Witch King wasn't killed at the Pelennor Fields. Instead, he faked his death to shed suspicion and avoid taking responsibility for deliberately losing the battle. He retreated bodilessly to his headquarters in Minas Morgul when attacked by Eowyn of Rohan and Meriadoc Brandybuck, abandoning his robes, crown and mace on the battlefield to make it look as if he had perished. This also ensured that Sauron's attention would be turned to Gondor, not Mordor — exactly what the Witch King wanted!
- Elvish prophecies are a dime a dozen. The whole “Not by the hand of man shall he fall” business was cooked up after the fact by King Elessar's publicist. No reputable history mentions it. (Wikipedia doesn't count.)
- Frodo and Sam's escape from the Tower of Cirith Ungol was also set up by the Witch King. If they were captured, Orcs from Minas Morgul were ordered to attack the tower under pretense of fighting over the swag, allowing Frodo and Sam to escape in the confusion. The Nazgul who arrived shortly after the orc fight was making sure that Frodo and Sam got away safely, not chasing them!
- Smeagol's presence at the Sammath Naur was a fail-safe. If for some reason Frodo did not destroy the Ring on his own, Smeagol was to push him and the Ring into the Cracks of Doom. That Smeagol himself fell to his death with the Ring was a tragic and unplanned accident.
- The structural failure of the Dark Tower is inconsistent with everything that is known about architectural engineering. We are told by the One Ring Commission that the Ring's power was the foundation of Barad-Dur and that its destruction led to the tower's collapse. But it is unclear how pitching a ring into a volcano located 40 miles away from the Dark Tower could have caused its foundations to fail, especially since they had to be sunk deep into bedrock to support the tower's weight. Clearly, the supernatural explanation just doesn't cut it.
- A secret deposition from Gwaihir the Windlord states that he saw small explosions along the sides of the Dark Tower shortly before its destruction. He also claimed that the tower collapsed in on itself instead of toppling over. These observations are consistent with a controlled implosion. Why hasn't this testimony been shared with the people of Gondor?
- Newly-found documents from the Orthanc archives reveal that Saruman sent a cadre of Uruk-hai demolitions experts to Mordor shortly after the War of the Ring began. This is the missing link. The Witch King must have ordered the Uruk-hai demolitions team to deliberately implode the Dark Tower using the blasting fire pioneered by Saruman.
There can be only one conclusion. Frodo, Sam, and the Fellowship — not to mention the rest of the Free Peoples of Middle-earth — were deceived by a criminal mastermind. There hasn't been a plot of such diabolical cunning since Sauron engineered the demise of Numenor.
Thanks to the destruction of the One Ring, the Witch King is free. While he lurks in his mountain fastness of Angmar, his followers spread chaos across the breadth of Middle-earth. Don't let him get away with it! Insist that the true story of the One Ring be revealed. The future of Middle-earth depends on it!

Been a long time since we've seen him around. I've heard from Gorel and Gaffer recently (and told them they should drop by!), but glaze seems to have disappeared into the ozone.

the other Nazgul were destroyed in the eruption from Mount Doom!
Instead of being able to turn their Fell Beasts away from the flames, the Witch-king must have conditioned them to home in on the Sammath Naur, probably giving the beasts a telepathic command from Minas Morgul.
And thus he removed his "competition".
Excellent sleuthing, Idril!

They should do another LotR based on this evidence, using director Sam Raimi. Then they could leave "The Hobbit" to Peter Jackson, and both would make a profit. They probably still have the film rights.

the true madness of the ring!!! Love it! and of course it also probably means that the Witch King is now in charge of new line and is actively working to prevent PJ from revealing that in the hobbit Gollum actually is and as always was a scion of the witch king and deliberately lured Bilbo to the ring to set the events you describe in motuiion! It all makes sense now!

...how does this tie in with the fact that no one has ever seen the Witch King and Tom Bombadil together at the same time?

I was quite happily cleaning my own place and well into a good career when this work started. I have tried to return it to the living relative of the man who wrote the book only to be ignored, the one he damned out of his own mouth. I have returned it to the place where the book was written, only to have discussions cut short and then to be ignored. All while trying to ensure that another piece of British genius, I refer to Tolkien's not mine, was returned to a British institution this has cost me time, effort and more.
If I seem impatient or curt then remember this, I did this because people have a right to know. In response I have received petty character slurs.
Tolkien would probably turn in his grave but finally he'd agree with me, you people are beyond hope and are no longer worthy.
