Obscenity

A new breed of South Africans is emerging, a new subculture, perhaps. It is composed of those who do not merely want to be rich, but who want be filthy, stinking rich; obscenely rich.

One of the things that one often hears is that crime is caused by poverty. But that is not strictly true. Criminologists who have researched the matter report that in societies where people are very poor, there is often relatively little crime. What causes the crime rate to rise is the income gap between the rich and the poor.

My blogging friend Dion Forster notes another effect of the income gap between rich and poor -- it can lead to genocide -- Wishes of youth and the winds of war - I was a soldier once - BLOG - Dion Forster - An uncommon path:

In Fiennes' book he notes, among other things, that the conditions that are necessary for genocide to occur include:
An impoverished population
A large gap between those who 'have' and those who 'do not have'
A clearly identifiable minority grouping that has access to wealth and power
The development of a racial or ethnic ideology that places groups of persons in opposition to one another
Corrupt, power hungry and irresponsible politicians
I wondered how many of these elements could be ticked off a list of criteria in South African society? We have much work to do in order to bring equality, overcome animosity, and combat false and harmful racial and ethnic ideologies.

A few days ago I noted in another blog post Black and white perceptions of South Africa’s problems | Khanya:

People sometimes like to talk about poverty as the cause of crime. But it is much less common for people to talk about it the other way round — of crime as the cause of poverty. Yet much of the poverty in places like Mamelodi is caused by crime — white crime.

Two of the ways in which people achieve their ambition to become filthy stinking rich are politics and crime. Criminologists who have noted that the crime rate increases where the gap between rich and poor increases have also noticed that criminals do not generally rob and steal to feed their starving families. They steal because they want to be filthy stinking rich. Their ill-gotten gains are used for conspicuous consumption.

As for politics, we all know about tenderpreneurs. Thabo Mbeki, the former president of the ANC and South Africa, spoke on this phenomenon at the very conference where the ANC voted him out as leader -- that unscrupulous businessmen tried to take over ANC branches, and get themselves or their favoured candidates elected at the branches in areas that controlled municipalitries, and used their position to get lucrative contracts and tenders.

This is not unique to South Africa, it is found all over the world.

There are those who still say that the ANC has not made the mental transition from liberation movement to a political party. But the problerm is the other way round. Those who remember what it was to be a liberation movement are a diminishing minority, and are being swamped by those who see politics as a means of becoming filthy stinking rich.

In writing this, I'm not being an investigative journalist. I'm not trying to dig up the dirt on corrupt politicians and businessmen. I haven't named names nor cited instances of these things in footnotes. I've written about perceptions, about gossip, about impressions. And the purpose is not to find and condemn the guilty.

Our struggle, as St Paul says, is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, the authorities, against spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenlies (Eph 6:10-12).

The problem is not individual sinners, but sin itself.

And the problem is not merely individual sins, but rather the inversion of values.

As Isaiah says:

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! (Isa 5:20)

Those who desire to be filthy stinking rich do so because of greed.

Christians in the past have seen greed and lust as passions that we should seek to control. But there are new ideologies abroad in the world that seek to invert this, and say that passions like greed and lust are good.

And so we find people, even people who claim to be Christians, saying that it's OK to help the poor, but not by taking money from the rich "at gunpoint". The "at gunpoint" is a peculiar code word among such people for "taxes". What they mean is that money from taxes paid by the rich should not be used to help the poor. That, they say, is "theft".

And so they invert Christian values; they call evil good and good evil.

St John Chrysostom says precisely the opposite:

"See the man," He says, "and his works: indeed, this also is theft, not to share one's possessions." Perhaps this statement seems surprising to you, but do not be surprised. I shall bring you testimony from the divine Scriptures, saying that not only the theft of others' goods but the failure to share one's own goods with others is theft and swindle and defraudation. What is this testimony? Accusing the Jews by the prophet, God says, "The earth has brought forth her increase, and you have not brought forth your tithes; but the theft of the poor is in your houses." Since you have not given the accustomed offerings, he says, you have stolen the goods of the poor. He says this to show the rich that they hold the goods of the poor even if they have inherited them from their fathers or no matter how they have gathered their wealth. And elsewhere the Scripture says, "Deprive not the poor of his living." To deprive is to take what belongs to another, for it is called deprivation when we take and keep what belongs to others.

Thus if the government uses the taxes paid by the rich to provide basic necessities for the poor, such as housing or health services, it is not theft, but rather the recovery of stolen property. To call taxes used in such a way "theft" is to invert Christian values, and to call good evil and evil good.

Adulterers may repent. Thieves may repent. Murderers may repent. And when we experience lust or greed or other passions we may repent and struggle against them.

But those who call greed and lust good cannot repent.

This ideological inversion was propounded by Ayn Rand in the 1940s and 1950s, and spread to the institutions of state and society in the West, especially in the 1980s, until it has now permeated much of society and people's values as the insidious propaganda for it continues and increases.

We may never be able to remove inequalities of wealth; we may never be able to eliminate the gap between the rich and the poor. But we can and ought to resist the ideology that says that it is a good thing, and that the passions that maintain it are to be encouraged.

"The new darling of the Republican Party is pro-choice and anti-religion."

comments from someone in a snail mail letter

2012-02-09T21:25:00.000-08:00

I got this in the mail, from a retired professor friend of mine.
This is edited for space and other concerns and posted with his
permission, he prefers to remain anonymous.

"A few days ago, I had one of the largest shocks of my life....
I decided to research to determine if other subjects lead to
the same conclusion. They do.

"1. I had always thought observtions of UFOs were about 20 a
year worldwide. I don't recall any mention of humans having
interaction with the occupants of UFOs. A large book,
UFO Conspiracy by Carmen McLaren, published 2011 by
Schiffer Publishing is designed to show the extent the govt.
has suppressed information about the UFO phenomenon.

"For exampke, in 1965 there were several thousand sightings in
the U.S. alone, and when you add the [likely] number of sightings
not reported you can double that (p. 171). That says nothing about
the sightings in other countries.

"There have been many cases in which humans met these other
people, in some cases at least one of the people spoke English,
and sometimes humans were invited inside the UFO to see how
they were designed, and observe all the occupants doing complex
operations.

"All reports on the nature of the UFO occupants are the same:
They are 3 to 5 feet tall, have legs and chests half as tall as ours,
have heads 3 times as large as ours, small mouths, no hair anywhere
on their bodies, black eyes, and wear clothes with no buttons or
zippers. The UFOs are more advanced than our most advanced jet
aircraft, with respect to ability to change direction rapidly, and
speed and capacity to accelerate.

"So why would the U.S. govt. want to prevent us from knowing
about this other civilization? Probably because our politicians
do not want us exploring the possibility of having people from
the other civilization replacing our politicians.

"The extent to which information about this is being suppressed
makes one wonder if there are a lot of other fields in which this
suppression is at work. Here are some examples of this being
the case.

"2. The Kennedy Assassination. Since this happened, there have
been suspicions that a large organization was involved. To indicate
the scale of that organization, of people who had any knowledge
of the conspiracy, 45 died suddenly and mysteriously, many by
being shot. (Chapter 18 in Conspiracy, the Plot to Stop the
Kennedys, by Matthew Smith, Citadel Press, 2005).

"3. Most people have noticed that while many books on "The Big
Picture" were published by scientists between 1960 and 1982, and
many of these sold huge numbers of copies in many languages,
since about 1985, most books about "The Big Picture" were
written by people whose training was in writing, linguistics and
literature, or economics, business, finance, banking or investment.
Could this have been due to some kind of accident, or a large
scale plot to control information flow?

"A very interesting book is 9/11 Synthetic Terror MADE IN USA
by Webster Griffin Tarpley second ed. 2006, published by Progressive
Press.

"This book probably more than any other relates 9/11 to a gigantic
international conspiracy, based in the U.S. Page 109 has the following
sentence, "Together with the axiomatic notion of overpopulation has
gone a profound hjostility to science and technology, especially
because of their egalitarian effects." This was the first time I had
ever seen this idea. The significance is that if a hidden assumption
of science is that all people are least potentially equal, this is
dangerous to people in finance, banking, investment and economics
who believe that they are superior to all other humans, and that it
is perfectly okay to loot them.

"4. which supports 3. I had two friends long ago who were
doctoral students in economics at major universities on the
two sides of the U.S. Both of them completed all the requirements
for the doctorate, then both handed in doctoral theses which
mentioned the significance of natural resources, such as crude
oil. Both of them were thrown out of the university without a
doctorate.

"5. By 2009, the U.S. Congress began to suspect that something
was going wrong with the U. S. economy and financial systems.
A gigantic research group was created to discover what this was
all about, including 10 members in The Financial Crisis Inquiry
Commission, with a supporting staff of 83. The report was 545
pages long, not incluiding the index of another component of
the result. It was published as THE FINANCIAL CRISIS INQUIRY
REPORT. Financial Report of the National Commission on the
Causes of Financial and Economic Crisis in the United States.
Published by Public Affairs, New York. It is hard to tell the
difference between what seemed to be going on, and what was
actually going on. I seemed that experts in economics, banking
and finance did not understand the phenomena they supposedly
managed, and were not able to predict them, when in fact what was
going on in those fields was that the only goal of the "experts"
was to get rich quickly themselves, at a cost to everyone else.

"6. By now it may be apparent that different groups of people think
in entirely different ways. The subject has been more explored by
Dr. Edward de Bono who as of 1999 had written more than 40 books,
which had been published in 25 languages. The best to read first
to get a summary of his worldview was Six Thinking Hats. White
and Green Hat thinking is scientific: conclusions are based on a
scientific analysis of data describing causes and processes. Yellow
and Red Hat thinking is based on a sunny, positive and emotional
view (desires, feelings, beliefs and wishes).

"It seems that in the U.S., if you listen to speeches by senior people in
corporations, banks or govt., you don't hear any hint of White and
Green Hat thinking as of 2012.

"Given how many books he has sold, and the number of countries
in which his books have been sold, it is odd that he is NOT AT
ALL referred to in the U.S.A. popular media or books or speeches
by U.S. politicians. Could this mean that they don't want us to
know that a small rich group does not want us to know how they
think? (Or what their actual goals are: to loot us?)

"7. Another book that explains what is really going on in America
is The End of America by Naomi Wolf.

"8. In 1975 there were 7.35 Bachelors degrees awarded in the U.S.
in business, per B.A. awarded in mathematics. In 2008 there were
22.08 B.A.s in business per B.A.s awarded in mathematics. "

The prof. is interested in any comments, and any posted here will be
forwarded to him.

My Critique of Philosophy part 1

2012-02-01T13:27:00.000-08:00

Martin Heidegger
from wikipedia

"His central belief was that philosophy, and society as a whole, was preoccupied with what it is that exists."

DUBIOUS. I DOUBT MOST PEOPLE THINK THAT MUCH. UNLESS YOU MEAN INTERACTING

WITH AND UNDERSTANDING HOW IT WORKS, LIKE OBJECTS, CARS, TOOLS, ETC.

"His belief was that we find ourselves "always already" fallen into a world that already existed."

WELL OF COURSE.

"But he insisted that we had forgotten the basic question of what it is to exist, of what being itself is. This question defines our central nature."

NONSENSE. IT DOES NOTHING OF THE SORT. OUR CENTRAL NATURE IS WHATEVER IT

IS, REGARDLESS OF WHAT QUESTIONS WE ARE ASKING ABOUT IT. AND TO EXIST IS

TO EXIST. AS DISTINCT FROM NOT EXISTING. REALITY VS. FANTASY.

"He argued that we are practical agents, caring and concerned about our projects in the world, and allowing it to reveal, or "unconceal" itself to us. He came to believe that ourproactive interference and manipulation of reality is often harmful and hides our true being as essentially limited participants, not masters, of the world which we discover."

AH, A TEACHER OF PASSIVITY. NO WONDER HE LIKED THE FUERHER PRINCIP AND SO FORTH.

HOWEVER ACTIVE AND AGGRESSIVE THESE PEOPLE ARE, THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY SELF

DEFINED AND PROCLAIMED TOOLS OF A MACHINE, A LEADER, ETC.

"Heidegger wrote about these issues in his best-known book, Being and Time (1927), which is considered to be one of the most important philosophical works of the 20th century.^[4]"

SO MUCH THE WORSE FOR THE 20TH CENTURY.

"Heidegger's views have implications beyond philosophy, in literature,^[5]psychology,^[6] theology^[7] and artificial intelligence.^[8]"

^{NO WONDER WE ARE SUCH A MESS.}

"He remains controversial due to his membership of the Nazi Party and statements in support of Adolf Hitler, for which he never apologized or expressed regret.^[9]"

^{GOOD REASON TO REEXAMINE HIS IDEAS IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY MIGHT PREDISPOSE US FOR.}

Modern Fascism: The Threat to the Judeo-Christian Worldview

Romanticism and the Occult Philosophy Hijacking of Christianity

2012-02-01T11:26:00.000-08:00

This is something very important, increasingly so. I noticed a long
time ago, that C. S. Lewis to a lesser extent, and Tolkien to a
greater extent, were easy conveyorbelts into paganism and witchcraft,
according to the statements of people on such egroups, who were
telling about how they became witches or wiccans or neopagans or
whatever, much the same way a Christian might tell about how they
became Christian.

While some themes like light vs. dark can translate into rejecting
evil, and the hobbit's longing for peaceful days when he had a
simple life and knew nothing of the gathering darkness that had to
be fought, there is a lot of darkness including the false light kind
in these books, and in Lord of the Rings and in all chivalric ideas
incl. the unfortunate Crusader image in RC and Protestantism,
and even specific knighthood organizations, there is a certain dark
allure to fighting evil.

The allure is the desire to have evil in order to have something to
give you identity as comparison to which. (pardon my syntax, but
that's how I often think.) The desire to have evil in order to fight in
the first place, a glorious death being sought, and ultimately,
never mind in the service of what, just so long as there is a great
cause to serve and die for.

to die for....wait a minute. Didn't wisdom say in Proverbs that "all
those who hate me love death"? Isn't there also something about
those who live strife love an evil thing?

It is wrong to shrink from the battle against evil when the issue is
present, and as St. Paul warns in Hebrews we are not yet in the
place of rest, there is yet a sabbath to attain.

But to seek death and strife as an end in itself means that one is
not loving good and truth and fighting evil and lies, one is glad
for the evil to appear so one can fight. As my confessor where I
used to live put it, when I was struggling to explain what the
problem was I was sensing in myself, not wanting demons around
yet somehow wanting them so I could cast them out, he said,
"you want to play."

I remember when I had a bit more wisdom I guess because of my
gut level reaction, when I read in a Sherlock Holmes story (and
that character is a load of problems centering on pride, vainglory
and haughtiness which God says in Proverbs He hates), that
Holmes was depressed because there was no crime going on for
him to work on solving!

That is the problem with the whole romance of knighthood and
fighting evil, like Nietzsche speaking of his overman said, a great
hero needs a great evil to fight or something like that.

The key problem is the romance of it all. A dance, and a dance
needs a partner.

There is a book criticizing the CIA, whose title says it all, "In
Search of Enemies." I don't recall a thing about the book, just the
title. That title is an important concept in itself, regardless of
anything the author had to say.

This mentality of course is real handy for recruiters for armies,
suicide bombers, etc. etc. Don't think for a minute, while you are
viewing yourself in this light, that your opponents don't have the
same identical view of themselves that you do.

That fact does not have any bearing on the issue of truth or falsehood
of the causes fought for (most causes are a mix of truth and falsehood
anyway), but rather on motives and on gullibility or rather, eagerness
to accept any cause provided it will get you an adrenaline rush and
maybe a quick, reasonably painless (except for some brief moment
like death scenes in a movie) and glorious (especially with a lot of
explosions and stuff) death.

back to the points made earlier about death wish.

In fact, a more pragmatic minded person once wrote (I think in a
mercenary mag, but he had a point) that someone with a death wish is
a danger to himself AND to his fellows.

Back to the infiltration of romanticism into Christianity, resulting
in syncretistic (i.e., partly false) belief systems in the churches.

Here are some VERY good articles on the subject. Mind you, C. S.
Lewis wrote a few really good things, but they are mostly not in his
fiction, except for The Screwtape Letters which is almost entirely
excellent, to be treated as material for reverse reading, that is, you read
it to see how NOT to be, do, or think or let yourself feel.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

2012-01-28T13:13:00.000-08:00

I am watching this movie now, on cable. The thought occurred to me,
maybe this is how apes came to be. Recall that I am working on a
theory of extraterrestrial humanoid life as originating in Pre Flood
mad scientist efforts to engineer humans to fit in extreme environments.

The original Planet of the Apes story indicated that the revolt started
because humans, making ape servants smarter with human DNA,
crossed a line and had something as smart as - but stronger than -
humans and able to speak. (How the humans lost the ability to speak
was not to my memory clearly explained, perhaps some of their
scientists removed the ability? no matter, that is all fiction.)

This movie has the problem begin with an alzheimer's research project,
with unintended results.

Perhaps in the distant past, the pre Flood mad scientists decided to
engineer powerful workers by mixing human DNA with lemurs and
monkeys, and developed ape category. (Probably got a bit out of hand.
But they were never all THAT smart, and couldn't talk, and went feral.
Some of these were taken on the Ark, since they were now among the
creatures that live on Earth that God determined to save some of each.
Or maybe an early effort at recreating that lost evil civilization, part
of which was the Tower of Babel. I doubt any of the ziggurats we
know of now were that tower, after all, there were many aiggurats,
perhaps a kind of cargo cult mentality regarding that tower, and the
original tower was never completed. Probably eventually destroyed,
maybe by using its remains as foundation stones for the later
ziggurats, as good luck in the effort.)

Maybe that is why there is so much genetic similarity between us and
the great apes. They are artificial, a result of ancient horrible experiments.

Teleportation To Mars?

2012-01-26T11:38:00.000-08:00

As some who read the blogosphere and watch youtube and alternative
UFO stuff know by know, one Andrew Basiago and someone else
claim to have been teleported to Mars, where there is a colony base
from Earth (and some predatory animals) as part of a secret CIA
project, and even met Obama there on a visit.

Disinformation is usually mostly facts, presented in a way and
context to make it look too loopy to be credible, or with some
lies thrown in the whole thing packaged so as to put you off a
productive track of research, and onto a wrong track.

It was developed by spy agencies during the Cold War and certainly
predates that, but not under that name most likely.

Now, I think it unlikely that such a project is going to be allowed
to be leaked if it existed. Maybe Basiago was public enough no
one could dare kill him, but where is the effort to prove he is
insane and/or never worked where he said he did or stuff like that?

I suspect that many leaks are disinfo, which doesn't mean they
aren't substantially factual, you just have to be careful and not
swallow the whole thing.

Such leaks might be to get us used to the idea of existing off record
and black budget projects in space.

It might also be, that exactly such a base exists (and the predatory
animals), and Basiago is an agent whose purpose is to make it
look ridiculous by throwing in teleportation and Obama.

There have been a lot of photo analysis articles online, which
show evidence of artificial structures and activity and wreckage
and currently functional stuff on Mars and the Moon. Basiago
would be a good ploy to discredit the idea.

Which means yes, we got a base there, yes if you decide to get
your anti gravity act together and go investigate you'd better
be careful of the predatory animals, and no, we don't use
teleportation and Obama is not in the loop.

Why South Carolina's Values Are Not America's Values

Why South Carolina's Values Are Not America's Values

Since CNN has assured us that the South is "where values matter" in advance of today's South Carolina primary, it's worth considering just what South Carolina values are, courtesy Thomas Schaller in Whistling Past Dixie (pp.274-275)

Consider South Carolina, which has opposed or defied almost every beneficent social and political change in American history. To appease South Carolinian slaveholders, Thomas Jefferson removed language condemning slavery from the Declaration of Independence. Four years later, backcountry loyalists in South Carolina helped the British Army recapture the state in 1780 from the patriots. By 1828, Palmetto State native and vice president John C. Calhoun was agitating for state "nullification" of federal powers, generating secessionist calls a full generation before the outbreak of the Civil War.
On December 20, 1860, South Carolina became the first state to secede; four months later Confederate forces in Charleston fired the opening shots of the Civil War on the Union garrison at Fort Sumter, and South Carolina even threatened to secede from the Confederacy because the other southern states would not agree to reopening the slave trade. Soon after the state's chapter of the Ku Klux Klan formed, "red shirt" Democratic rifle clubs used physical intimidation and ballot manipulation to alter results of the 1876 election. In the 1890s, Governor Ben "Pitchfork" Tillman--who earned his nickname by threatening to stab President Grover Cleveland in the ribs with said implement--served two terms as governor before embarking on a twenty-three-year Senate career during which he defended segregation as vigilantly as his fellow Edgefield County native, Strom Thurmond, later did for most of his career.
Well into the twentieth century, South Carolina's black citizens observed the Fourth of July mostly alone because the vast majority of whites refused to, preferring instead to celebrate Confederate Memorial Day, May 10. State politicians repeatedly averted their eyes as textile industry executives employed children and quashed attempts by mill workers to organize for fair wages. In 1920, the South Carolina legislature rejected the proposed women's suffrage amendment and took almost a half century finally to ratify it, in 1969. In 1948, the same year the South Carolina legislature declared President Harry Truman's new civil rights commission "un-American," Thurmond's full-throated advocacy of racial segregation as the States' Rights Democratic Party presidential nominee helped him carry four Deep South states. Six years later, the Clarendon County school district--where per-pupil spending on whites was quadruple that for blacks--was pooled with three other districts in a failed defense of the "separate but equal" standard in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case. And when Congress passed the 1965 Voting Rights Act, the law that finally banned the creative and vicious methods used to disfranchise blacks, South Carolina became the first state to challenge its constitutionality. By 1968 Harry Dent, the most legendary of Thurmond's political proteges and a key artchitect of the "southern strategy," was helping Richard Nixon translate racial antagonisms into crucial Republican votes, a victory in South Carolina, and a ticket to the White House.
If all of this seems like so much ancient history, consider that South Carolinians are still debating the merits of public displays of the Confederate battle flag. Indeed, more than a few pundits believe Republican David Beasley won the 1994 governor's race in part because of his pledge to support displaying the Confederate flag over the state capitol--then promptly lost his 1998 reelection bid later after a "religious epiphany" caused him to reverse position. After two decades of adverse judicial rulings, in 2000 Bob Jones University, the state's largest private liberal arts college, founded by its anti-Catholic namesake, finally ended its policy of prohibiting interrracial dating. Last year, South Carolina was sued for issuing "choose life" vanity plates while refusing the same option to pro-choice citizens, justifying its decision by claiming that the anti-abortion message constitutes protected government speech. Today, more than eight decades after women first won the right to vote, the South Carolina state legislature is the only one in America where women do not hold at least 10 percent of all seats.
Other Deep South states may stake their own claims, but South Carolina is America's most conservative state. From a strictly constitutional-historical standpoint, its legacy of firsts and lasts reads like a rap sheet: first to overturn a provincial government during the revolutionary period; last to abandon the Atlantic slave trade; first to call for nullifying the Constitution's federal authority; first to secede from the Union; last to abolish the white primary; first to litigate against the intregration of public schools and challenge the Voting Rights Act. Whenever America finds itself at some social or political crossroad and in need of direction, perhaps the best things to do is ask, "What would South Carolina do?" And then do the opposite.

I'm sure there are many wonderful people in South Carolina fighting the good fight, trying to turn their home state around and move away from the shameful legacy of South Carolina values. But in democracy, majority rules. And the majority of South Carolinians have made it clear exactly what those values are.

They are not American values, and CNN should be ashamed to imply that they are.

World War 3 in the making

2012-01-14T18:55:00.000-08:00

The usual cant is that various military ventures of the USA are illegal.
Actually, none of them are or were. The Constitution specifies that it
and ALL TREATIES ratified are the supreme law of the land, regardless
of what any state constitution or laws say. All these actions were done
under the cover of NATO or the UN or the Asian NATO similar
treaty (that was used to excuse Viet Nam).

That does not mean that the US isn't using these treaties, to legalize
imperialism abroad which means predation against its own people at
home. Who is the main warrior arm for these? the USA. Who is making
decisions? I don't know, but I can assume that the USA is a big player
in making those decisions.

Back to square one, the hidden agenda. Right now, those who are perhaps
devoted to American empire, and may be in the elite class but more USA
biassed like Zbig are arguing against war with Iran. A Mossad retired
officer is saying such a war would be a disaster.

Iran is backed by Russia and China. To go to war with them will mean
war with Russia and China and we cannot win.

I think two things are involved, delusions (perhaps fuelled by black budget
projects that work enough it is thought they will let us win, ignoring that
similar projects have been going on in Russia and China), and deliberate
intent to fight a losing war, with our elites having sold us out to the Russian
Mafia who might well be major players in the financial scene in a Russian
occupied or rather annexed ex USA. Of course, the western half will probably
be annexed by China.

Now I find out that American warships are in The Black Sea. Before this
USA provocations involving placement of missiles in range of Russia to
supposedly defend against Iranian missiles headed for Europe, but which
could be used on Russia with a minor tweak most likely, went on.

I thought we were taking bait in going after Iran. But I think it is more
deliberate than that. Our leaders WANT WW 3. For whatever reason. And
I doubt we can win. In fact, I am sure we cannot.

So, pray this not happen; or that if it does all the banksters, elites and mafia
categories and atrocity inclined sorts on all sides die before the dust settles;
and in the meantime, depending on what part of the country you live in,
start learning to speak Russian or Chinese. Or both.

ESF runs the Federal Reserve and is itself run by the Treasury Department and is part of black ops funding

The Federal Reserve is an unconstitutional delegation of
economic power by the govt., so the information here at
first glance looks like it is a good thing, that the Treasury
Department has kept or regained the power it was supposed
to have always had, and without any central bank in the
picture.

But look closer. This power is exerted by means of a cutout,
that is itself veiled from view, and means that the elites in
that nest of vipers, the unelected elements of government
typically the State Department but probably also sometimes
the Treasury Department or whoever in it works with or for
the elites, can manipulate political events and economy here
and economy abroad, to the advantage of themselves as a
class, themselves as individuals, and to no advantage of the
American people.

NASA former employee whistleblower

2012-01-02T08:30:00.000-08:00

http://usahitman.com/nasa-employee/

Former National Aeronautics and Space Administration Data and Photo Control Department manager, Ken Johnston, who worked for the space agency’s Lunar Receiving Laboratory during the Apollo missions has been fired for telling the truth.

Ken Johnston working at JPL.

Johnston asserts NASA knows astronauts discovered ancient alien cities and the remains of amazingly advanced machinery on the Moon. Some of the technology can manipulate gravity.

He says the agency ordered a cover-up and forced him to participate in it. Over the past 40 years other scientists, engineers and technicians have accused NASA of cover-ups and obscuring data.

The growing number of accusers’ allegations range from hiding information about anomalous space objects and lying about the discovery of artifacts on the surface of the Moon and Mars, to denying the evidence of life reported back by the Viking lander during the mid-1970s.

Strange Object Photoed by Apollo Astronauts.

According to Johnston, Apollo astronauts brought back photographic evidence of the artifacts they found during their lunar extravehicular activities (EVAs). Johnston claims NASA ordered him to destroy the EVA images while he was at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), but he refused.

When he went public, the space agency terminated him. In a news release, Kay Ferrari, the JPL Director of the SSA Program, explained why she asked Johnston to resign: he had publicly criticized his employer. When Johnston refused to tender his resignation, he was summarily dismissed without cause.

After his abrupt departure, he indicated he’d had enough and was tired that the U.S. government had been sitting on the proof for more than four decades that ancient alien cities are the Moon.

“I have nothing to lose,” he said. “I quarreled with NASA and I got fired.” Evidence has emerged of large structures, perhaps even a base on the far side if the Moon, that seems to support Johnston’s allegations.

The scientist who oversaw the important life-detection experiment aboard the 1976 Viking space probe mission on Mars continues to blast the U.S. space agency.

Gilbert Levin insists his biology experiment proved life is in the Martian soil.

“We obtained positive data corresponding with all the pre-mission criteria, which proved the existence of microbial life in the soil of Mars,” Levin told National Geographic. “I Found Life on Mars in 1976, Scientist Says” The prominent scientist is so angry at NASA he’s even created his own website designed to shout to the world that life really is on the Red Planet.

Many space scientists have challenged NASA about yet another fraud the agency allegedly perpetrated for decades: the color of the Martian sky.

For years the space agency released photos of Mars with a reddish tinged sky and rusty red landscape. They got away with it too until independent researchers and Mars missions undertaken by the European Space Agency (ESA) revealed that the Martian sky actually looked very similar to Earth’s sky–and the Martian landscape pretty much resembled the pale salmon colored terrain of the American Southwest.

Holger Isenberg has written about it on the German site “The Color of Mars.” Here’s a translated link with the photographic evidence.

Former NASA employee, Donna Hare, has accused NASA of doctoring, obfuscating, and obscuring thousands of photos over the years. She has gone on record alleging the space agency erased inconvenient anomalies on certain damning photos.

During her time at NASA she was a specialist working as an illustrator and photographic slide technician. Her service awards include the 1969 Apollo Achievement award, a Skylab award, and a special commemorative medallion for meritorious service involving the joint American-Russian space mission, Apollo-Soyuz.

A technical illustrator by profession, Hare has just about done it all during her tenure with the space agency, working as a space illustrator and in the Precision Slide Lab. She illustrated space vehicles, satellites, launch pads, landing sites, lunar maps and much, much more.

Did NASA miss smudging this photo?

Hare worked as a sub-contractor with the agency for more than 15 years. When she blew the whistle on NASA, she went public and appeared as a guest on WOL-AM radio in Washington, D.C. Her testimony is controversial and some support her contentions while others do not.

“In December of 1972 Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt spent about 75 hours on the Moon. During their lunar expedition they took the photo seen above. As incredible as it sounds it appears to be the severed head of a robot. As Cernan put it, even though he was seeing it with his own eyes, he still couldn’t quite bring himself to believe it,” writes author Joe Szostak in his book and website.

“After overcoming his initial shock he realized that it couldn’t be a human skull. After all, it was lying in a debris field from an impact crater, which had tossed up all manner of junk and material from just below the valley floor. Something as fragile as a fossilized bone could not possibly survive such an impact.

“Furthermore, exposure to extreme solar and cosmic radiation would have long since reduced organic material to a fine powder. This object was unmistakably of mechanical origin. Color enhancements showed that the ‘head’ had a distinctive red stripe around the area where the upper lip should be, a feature that clearly appeared to be painted or anodized on the object.

“Composites of other frames showed that the ‘head’ had two eye-sockets, a forehead, brow ridges, a nose with nostrils, twin cheek bones and the upper half of the jaw. The lower jaw seemed to be missing.

“Cernan dubbed the area ‘one mysterious looking place.’ Many of the rocks had highly unusual spectral qualities, reflecting light more like crystals or highly polished metallic boxes.

“The Aristarchus Crater enigma is one of numerous so-called transient lunar phenomena (TLP). It is the brightest spot on the Moon as seen from Earth, which changes color, sometimes producing a red or bluish glow, and appears to emit gas. In 1958 Aristarchus Crater’s strange phenomena were observed by Russian astronomer Nikolai Kozyrev. They were also reported by the crew of Apollo 11.

The incredible Hubble photo of perfect pyramid on the moon.

“The nature of the crater phenomena has given credence to a theory that there could be some sort of a power device, possibly a fusion reactor, in the crater. On any photo published by NASA except for a Clementine image this object is shown as a bright white smudge with no definition [Emphasis added]. This structure appears to be supported by 5 or 6 arches. In the foreground is a road that leads to a brightly lit tunnel entrance.” ‘Joe Szostak’

Russian Luna 9 photographs space vehicle

“Luna 9 was an unmanned space probe of the Soviet Union’s Luna program. On February 3, 1966 Luna 9 became the first spacecraft to achieve a soft landing on any planetary body other than Earth and to transmit photographic data back to Earth from the Moon. [The] photo is from the Luna 9 probe. It shows what appears to be a large craft or vehicle whose shape resembles that of an ocean going ship on Earth, coming to a point at one end and having an elevated section on top. A cable or tube appears to extend from the rear of the object toward the surface. Contact with Luna 9 was lost on February 6, 1966 just three days after landing.”

Odd things are on the Moon and Mars. Strange things have been found on the Martian moon Phobos, Saturn’s moon Titan, and a handful of other more obscure moons.

The evidence seems to be mounting that we were not always alone in the Solar System. In fact the place seemed downright crowded. Maybe it still is…

I KNEW IT! The UFO "Majestic" documents fake, but......

2011-12-29T01:34:00.000-08:00

http://www.michaelsheiser.com/MJ%20Test%20article.pdf

This article shows reasons to dismiss the whole Majestic or MJ12
story, or at least the documents that are involved.

Another reason to reject them, is that Robert and/or Ryan Wood,
the recipients of the ton of extra MJ12 files, submitted them to, of
all people, Michael Aquino ex of the Army, for evaluation as a
psychological warfare expert.

Aren't there other psywar experts available? Why this guy?
(Google temple of set and presidio if you want to know more
about him.)

Aquino's conclusion was that they were not a product of a psyop.

And if that sonofabitch satanist closet nazi says they are not
a product of a psyop, then they are the product of a psyop of some
sort.

I have concluded some time ago that these documents were
at least dubious, but represented an effort to redirect attention
off something real. Disinformation functions primarily to
either put you on a wrong trail, or off a right trail you were on,
and usually consists of a lot of truth.

At the time the papers came out, all parties listed were dead. There
was no indication of any provision for continuation of the group
into another generation of replacements. IF such a group had
existed, this is exactly the impression you would want people
to have.

One name that would fit the profile of an MJ12 member, was
not on that list - Clyde Tombaugh, who was still alive when
they were published, who had discovered The Black Knight
humongous satellite in a polar orbit in the late 1950s when
no one had the ability to put anything that large in orbit, and
no one had the ability to anything into a polar orbit.

When Tombaugh did die, in Las Crusces, NM, his widow
said government people came and took all his papers.

I think we can safely assume that the new papers, which do
as I recall mention provision for continuing the organization,
will only serve to put researchers on wrong tracks trying
to investigate, contact and harass the alleged members, and
nose around in all the wrong stuff, while any actual replacers
go unnoticed.

This study Heiser describes, leaves The Twining Memo as
legitimate, which oddly enough in Sept. 23 AD 1947,
complains of "The lack of physical evidence in the shape
of crash recovered exhibits which would undeniably
prove the existence of these subjects."
http://www.thelivingmoon.com/49ufo_files/03files/mildoc001.html

Since the Roswell wreckage was taken to Wright Patterson,
perhaps something was going on even then that was off the
official radar, and the public announcement of the weather
balloon story was as much to deceive superiors in the normal
chain of command as anyone else.

Mayan calendar doesn't say anything about an end of the world,
just that the calendar ends in 2012 and restarts.

Which of course means that whatever catastrophe might happen,
involving nibiru, has nothing to do with this, and probably won't
happen in 2012. My best guess, and even that of Marshall
Masters (dupe of the Kolbrin Bible fraud an obvious 19th
century philosophical scam to judge by the content), is that at
minimum it won't hit till 2013.

Jacco Van der Woorp on Masters' research crew, has somehow
concluded that Nibiru was parallel (since below the ecliptic) to
Jupiter I think it was (or Saturn?) in 2009. My guess is, it is not
what pulls Uranus and Neptune down a bit, that is probably
something else out there in a permanent distant relationship to
the sun, maybe they orbit a shared center of gravity or something
like that, and this thing is either a new capture or does an orbit
around the sun and the other thing, otherwise we'd see it more
often.

An earlier post regarding the disaster in AD 536, this is now
complicated by the fact that this was also the time of Justinian's
Plague, and flying bronze shields were seen, and dark cloaked
people also.

In the Middle Ages at the time of the Black Death, hooded
cloaked figures were seen in fields, with long sticks making
reaping motions, but not cutting the wheat. The Grim Reaper
dates from these, which one interesting video suggests were aliens
spraying a pathogen.

The c. 200 BC splatter of asteroids across northern Europe
and Russia still remain as a definite celestial event, however,
like we went through something's debris field.

contra neo Confederates: South Carolina's declaration of secession from the USA shows slavery the sole motive

2011-12-26T18:01:00.000-08:00

So much for the claim that the Southen secession that caused the American Civil War was not about slavery. Sure there are plenty of references to the Constitution and earlier order and failure to abide by that, but all the specifics of those violations of the Constitutional rights of the self described "slaveholding states" were without exception, regarding slaves.

This is regarding South Carolina's secession, of course, and each of the slaveholding states had their own declaration of secession, but this will give you and idea.

Confederate States of America - Declaration of the Immediate Causes Which Induce and Justify the Secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union

The people of the State of South Carolina, in Convention assembled, on the 26th day of April, A.D., 1852, declared that the frequent violations of the Constitution of the United States, by the Federal Government, and its encroachments upon the reserved rights of the States, fully justified this State in then withdrawing from the Federal Union; but in deference to the opinions and wishes of the other slaveholding States, she forbore at that time to exercise this right. Since that time, these encroachments have continued to increase, and further forbearance ceases to be a virtue.

And now the State of South Carolina having resumed her separate and equal place among nations, deems it due to herself, to the remaining United States of America, and to the nations of the world, that she should declare the immediate causes which have led to this act.

In the year 1765, that portion of the British Empire embracing Great Britain, undertook to make laws for the government of that portion composed of the thirteen American Colonies. A struggle for the right of self-government ensued, which resulted, on the 4th of July, 1776, in a Declaration, by the Colonies, "that they are, and of right ought to be, FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES; and that, as free and independent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent States may of right do."

They further solemnly declared that whenever any "form of government becomes destructive of the ends for which it was established, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new government." Deeming the Government of Great Britain to have become destructive of these ends, they declared that the Colonies "are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved."

In pursuance of this Declaration of Independence, each of the thirteen States proceeded to exercise its separate sovereignty; adopted for itself a Constitution, and appointed officers for the administration of government in all its departments-- Legislative, Executive and Judicial. For purposes of defense, they united their arms and their counsels; and, in 1778, they entered into a League known as the Articles of Confederation, whereby they agreed to entrust the administration of their external relations to a common agent, known as the Congress of the United States, expressly declaring, in the first Article "that each State retains its sovereignty, freedom and independence, and every power, jurisdiction and right which is not, by this Confederation, expressly delegated to the United States in Congress assembled."

Under this Confederation the war of the Revolution was carried on, and on the 3rd of September, 1783, the contest ended, and a definite Treaty was signed by Great Britain, in which she acknowledged the independence of the Colonies in the following terms: "ARTICLE 1-- His Britannic Majesty acknowledges the said United States, viz: New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, to be FREE, SOVEREIGN AND INDEPENDENT STATES; that he treats with them as such; and for himself, his heirs and successors, relinquishes all claims to the government, propriety and territorial rights of the same and every part thereof."

Thus were established the two great principles asserted by the Colonies, namely: the right of a State to govern itself; and the right of a people to abolish a Government when it becomes destructive of the ends for which it was instituted. And concurrent with the establishment of these principles, was the fact, that each Colony became and was recognized by the mother Country a FREE, SOVEREIGN AND INDEPENDENT STATE.

In 1787, Deputies were appointed by the States to revise the Articles of Confederation, and on 17th September, 1787, these Deputies recommended for the adoption of the States, the Articles of Union, known as the Constitution of the United States.

The parties to whom this Constitution was submitted, were the several sovereign States; they were to agree or disagree, and when nine of them agreed the compact was to take effect among those concurring; and the General Government, as the common agent, was then invested with their authority.

If only nine of the thirteen States had concurred, the other four would have remained as they then were-- separate, sovereign States, independent of any of the provisions of the Constitution. In fact, two of the States did not accede to the Constitution until long after it had gone into operation among the other eleven; and during that interval, they each exercised the functions of an independent nation.

By this Constitution, certain duties were imposed upon the several States, and the exercise of certain of their powers was restrained, which necessarily implied their continued existence as sovereign States. But to remove all doubt, an amendment was added, which declared that the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States, respectively, or to the people. On the 23d May , 1788, South Carolina, by a Convention of her People, passed an Ordinance assenting to this Constitution, and afterwards altered her own Constitution, to conform herself to the obligations she had undertaken.

Thus was established, by compact between the States, a Government with definite objects and powers, limited to the express words of the grant. This limitation left the whole remaining mass of power subject to the clause reserving it to the States or to the people, and rendered unnecessary any specification of reserved rights.

We hold that the Government thus established is subject to the two great principles asserted in the Declaration of Independence; and we hold further, that the mode of its formation subjects it to a third fundamental principle, namely: the law of compact. We maintain that in every compact between two or more parties, the obligation is mutual; that the failure of one of the contracting parties to perform a material part of the agreement, entirely releases the obligation of the other; and that where no arbiter is provided, each party is remitted to his own judgment to determine the fact of failure, with all its consequences.

In the present case, that fact is established with certainty. We assert that fourteen of the States have deliberately refused, for years past, to fulfill their constitutional obligations, and we refer to their own Statutes for the proof.

The Constitution of the United States, in its fourth Article, provides as follows: "No person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered up, on claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due."

This stipulation was so material to the compact, that without it that compact would not have been made. The greater number of the contracting parties held slaves, and they had previously evinced their estimate of the value of such a stipulation by making it a condition in the Ordinance for the government of the territory ceded by Virginia, which now composes the States north of the Ohio River.

The same article of the Constitution stipulates also for rendition by the several States of fugitives from justice from the other States.

The General Government, as the common agent, passed laws to carry into effect these stipulations of the States. For many years these laws were executed. But an increasing hostility on the part of the non-slaveholding States to the institution of slavery, has led to a disregard of their obligations, and the laws of the General Government have ceased to effect the objects of the Constitution. The States of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa, have enacted laws which either nullify the Acts of Congress or render useless any attempt to execute them. In many of these States the fugitive is discharged from service or labor claimed, and in none of them has the State Government complied with the stipulation made in the Constitution. The State of New Jersey, at an early day, passed a law in conformity with her constitutional obligation; but the current of anti-slavery feeling has led her more recently to enact laws which render inoperative the remedies provided by her own law and by the laws of Congress. In the State of New York even the right of transit for a slave has been denied by her tribunals; and the States of Ohio and Iowa have refused to surrender to justice fugitives charged with murder, and with inciting servile insurrection in the State of Virginia. Thus the constituted compact has been deliberately broken and disregarded by the non-slaveholding States, and the consequence follows that South Carolina is released from her obligation.

The ends for which the Constitution was framed are declared by itself to be "to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity."

These ends it endeavored to accomplish by a Federal Government, in which each State was recognized as an equal, and had separate control over its own institutions. The right of property in slaves was recognized by giving to free persons distinct political rights, by giving them the right to represent, and burthening them with direct taxes for three-fifths of their slaves; by authorizing the importation of slaves for twenty years; and by stipulating for the rendition of fugitives from labor.

We affirm that these ends for which this Government was instituted have been defeated, and the Government itself has been made destructive of them by the action of the non-slaveholding States. Those States have assume the right of deciding upon the propriety of our domestic institutions; and have denied the rights of property established in fifteen of the States and recognized by the Constitution; they have denounced as sinful the institution of slavery; they have permitted open establishment among them of societies, whose avowed object is to disturb the peace and to eloign the property of the citizens of other States. They have encouraged and assisted thousands of our slaves to leave their homes; and those who remain, have been incited by emissaries, books and pictures to servile insurrection.

For twenty-five years this agitation has been steadily increasing, until it has now secured to its aid the power of the common Government. Observing the forms of the Constitution, a sectional party has found within that Articleestablishing the Executive Department, the means of subverting the Constitution itself. A geographical line has been drawn across the Union, and all the States north of that line have united in the election of a man to the high office of President of the United States, whose opinions and purposes are hostile to slavery. He is to be entrusted with the administration of the common Government, because he has declared that that "Government cannot endure permanently half slave, half free," and that the public mind must rest in the belief that slavery is in the course of ultimate extinction.

This sectional combination for the submersion of the Constitution, has been aided in some of the States by elevating to citizenship, persons who, by the supreme law of the land, are incapable of becoming citizens; and their votes have been used to inaugurate a new policy, hostile to the South, and destructive of its beliefs and safety.

On the 4th day of March next, this party will take possession of the Government. It has announced that the South shall be excluded from the common territory, that the judicial tribunals shall be made sectional, and that a war must be waged against slavery until it shall cease throughout the United States.

The guaranties of the Constitution will then no longer exist; the equal rights of the States will be lost. The slaveholding States will no longer have the power of self-government, or self-protection, and the Federal Government will have become their enemy.

Sectional interest and animosity will deepen the irritation, and all hope of remedy is rendered vain, by the fact that public opinion at the North has invested a great political error with the sanction of more erroneous religious belief.

We, therefore, the People of South Carolina, by our delegates in Convention assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, have solemnly declared that the Union heretofore existing between this State and the other States of North America, is dissolved, and that the State of South Carolina has resumed her position among the nations of the world, as a separate and independent State; with full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent States may of right do.

Pyramid energy - hmmmmm....

2011-12-26T17:39:00.000-08:00

Reviewing various speculations presented as absolute
fact, regarding pyramid energy and the world grid and
ley lines, a recurring theme is that these were used -
when functional - to get energy for communications
and such like modern purposes. Anachronistic thinking
of the sort that reads modern motivations into the past.

The past was characterized by elites ruling the masses,
often with deception and lies and false miracles. Various
pagan temples had "gods" that moved and spoke, and
after the Christian takeover and demolition of such,
the mechanical devices inside these idols were found
and displayed.

Sure, these things were just puppets and crude robots.
Things that today are mere toys and work tools. But in
those days, no one knew about this but a very few, who
used the information and technology to keep the
masses cowed with awe of the priesthoods.

Whatever communications were in play, it was elite to
elite, not for the common man or even for the merchants
and so forth. It was strictly to promote the power and
status of a very few. Probably not even most kings knew
of this.

It was a major scam. Sure, technology advanced for the
time, but used for evil. Long ago looking at a display and
plaque with lecture on it, in The Rosicrucian Egyptian
Museum in San Jose, CA, I noticed this angle, the wise
elite few ruling the masses.

The Rosicrucians and others now recruit, by offering
this knowledge (usually cobbled together from various
sources and presented as Egyptian or whatever), once
reserved to the few to those among the many who will
pay out to get it, appealing to pride, ambition, greed,
power and status lust even if only to be experienced
as one who secretly knows, and has a secret status
his neighbors don't know about, so he can secretly feel
superior, however pragmatically inferior, idiotic and
generally unemployable he may be. A ludicrous picture
of this is presented by one writer on the subject, an
incompetent slob growing poorer for the money paid
out for sloppy information and promotion with special
titles and stuff, who feels superior to the neighbors
while they look askance at him, a mess.

So in all liklihood, this technology in "Atlantean"
times or pre Flood civilization, whatever practical use
it might have been put to, was primarily in play to keep
people impressed with lying signs and wonders and
false miracles to keep the pagan cults going.

That doesn't mean this harnessing of energy is demonic
in nature, but it does mean it has a bad pedigree,
nothing to be in awe of, any more than you grovel in
awe at the sight of a battery and wires making a light
bulb glow. Though you might wisely grovel in awe
of the Creator YHWH Who made such things possible
and gave us the brains and skills to find it.

But be careful of Tesla. However well intentioned, he
seems to have been under some kind of influence at
times, and some of his stuff is primarily good for figuring
out how to blow yourself up and take a lot of people
with you. Usually this is in the patents you don't hear
much about. HAARP technology is based on several of
his patents, for instance.

List of 19th Century UFOs

2011-12-25T02:00:00.000-08:00

I don't think we can blame all these on 20th century
human technology or whatever. Crashes like the one
described in the other post rule out demons at least
for that one (though possible involvement of pilots
with demons is another matter).

Of interest also is an earlier Japanese scroll, describing
a woman in a crashed or landed round flying thing,
with strange hieroglyphics similar to one reported by
abductees, and she had a box in her hands. This
device is reported by abductees, and used to be kept
out of published information by researchers, to keep
it as a test for legitimacy of reports.

Confirmation of a theory of mine about disguised spacecraft

2011-12-25T01:55:00.000-08:00

http://www.miqel.com/reading_library/archived_stories/1800s-unknown-crash.html

This story relates to a meteor crash that really tore up the ground,
in 1865 or 1864 not sure what they mean by "last September."

when the trapper who relate story saw the thing, he described it
as a stone, that had compartments, a dark liquid, and hieroglyphics.

readers may recall that I speculated that some asteroids out there
are space bases either hollowed out and presumabley reinforced
and equipped asteroids or more likely bult from the ground up
so to speak, with an exterior that is somewhat self repairing or
the internal layers are, and the exterior will take impacts and not
transfer the force to the interior. This material would naturally
resemble an irregular rocky surface, and perhaps might be
deliberately made to look this way for reasons of disguise.

The Supposed Horrible Plan Secret Document

2011-12-23T23:38:00.000-08:00

I have skimmed through the document linked on Alex Jones' site and
real-agenda that supposedly shows how FEMA is going to classify
the American public as the enemy, and I don't see any sign of this sort
of thing. Keeping order in a disaster situation is not treating the
American public as the enemy, except that segment that consists of
individuals and gangs of all races, that is the enemy to the American
public whenever it can be.

What are these people screaming about? This is mostly just a typical
government job description and contract seeking stuff, boring, and
all it shows is they expect something major enough to get ready.

This seems silly to me. The Constitution specifies action against
sedition and public disorder. What is the problem? (The problem
in part is that these people don't read the Constitution that carefully,
and don't want anyone telling them what to do, and guess what,
most of what some object to like taxes and driver's licenses and
stuff like that, is what they would eventually have to get around to
doing, should they create or get the chaos they want and install
themselves in power, and then have to reinvent the wheel, after
enough deaths on the road and from disease and whatnot, situations
that brought these laws on in the first place, and enough people
notice the pro active safety laws in the Bible that validate safety
laws and certification of competence to operate vehicles, use
weapons, etc.

This Guy Says It Very Well

2011-12-10T03:22:00.000-08:00

(from comments on Constance Cumbey's blog.)

Maybe in calling for financial regulation I *have* contradicted what you call a tenet of the republican rightwing gospel. But I'm not a Republican - I'm British. I am aware that I have more in common with the Right than the Left, but I try to think by biblical categories that are 10 times older than notions of Left and Right.

Mosaic Law had free markets in goods but regulated markets in labour, money and land/property. A man was guaranteed food if he worked (ie, works his land) but there was no social security system - although charity was regarded as a duty.

God is wiser than man, so how much of that can we replicate today? Unless we de-industrialise, dissolve property ownership and and share all land out equitably (which I am not advocating) then we cannot get back to a system whereby a man is guaranteed food for work AND there is no social security system. It's one or the other. Which way to go is the Right/Left dilemma of our time.

But there is no reason not to have God's way, of free markets in goods and regulated markets in money. That is why I said what I did. http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11772087&postID=4058748648854562139

Crust upheaval and rupture the cause of the Japanese Tsunami

2011-12-08T12:08:00.000-08:00

http://www.sott.net/articles/show/238638-Huge-Japan-Quake-Cracked-Open-Seafloor

San Francisco - The March 2011 megaquake off the coast of Japan opened up fissures as wide as 6 feet (3 meters) in the seafloor, a new study finds.

.........
On a previous seafloor survey in 2006, the seafloor was covered by sediment, with many sea anemone thriving. No fissures were observed.

Approximately 10,500-to-17,500-feet (3,200-to-5,350-meters) below the ocean's surface, the researchers saw open fissures in "many places," Tsuji said. They ranged from around 3-to-6-feet (around 1-to-3-meters) across, though the researchers couldn't measure how deep these new cracks extended.

By combining their direct observations with seismic surveys of the seafloor, the researchers uncovered a series of complex faults around the zone where the continental crust off the coast of Japan is being forced under the Pacific tectonic plate. They found when the crust ruptured some 12 miles (20 km) below the planet's surface, it was powerful enough to rip all the way to the surface.

That rupture pushed up a massive amount of seafloor, which in turn triggered the huge tsunami that devastated the coast.

Meanwhile, the wedge of crust where the quake struck was not only thrust outward, but extended horizontally like an accordion, Tsuji reported. That explains the fissures, which occurred as the crust got stretched.

Intelligent Design and God Man and ET

2011-12-03T12:23:00.000-08:00

At the enterprisemission.com is an article titled as above,
click to read it.
http://www.enterprisemission.com/IntelligentDesignandGod-Man-and-ET.htm

This is essentially the position of Lloyd Pye's Intervention Theory,
http://www.lloydpye.com/ and to sum it up, we are the product of
experiments by intelligent life from elsewhere.

Now, granted, evidence for ID is also evidence for IT (Intervention
Theory in any of its forms).

But that ignores an important thing. Where did ET come from?
Even if you argue that the creation of mankind on the sixth day
is stated so singly from the rest of it, instead of starting it with
God saying life incl. something made in His image and likeness
should come out of the ground, but instead He does that and
then makes a special move with mankind, that this is a telescoping
of events in which He used ET to make us, even IF you argue
that, or, that whatever the original human was it is now altered
by the ET intervention, perhaps part of the curse on Eve played
out perhaps not in her life but later, that birthing would be
more difficult, so the larger head is part of that, and oops, the
(maybe marsupial) greyskins decided they wanted us to look
large headed like them somewhat, was something God allowed
as part of this curse,

even IF you argue all this, you still have no solution to the
origin of life itself, let alone nonsentient matter throughout
the universe.

So its back to God. meanwhile, the interesting stuff these
intervention theorists find should not be ignored or
condemned, but fit it into the creationist model, whether
young earth, old earth, or midrange earth.

Haeckel's Embryos: Fraud Rediscovered

Elizabeth Pennisi

Using modern techniques, a British researcher has photographed embryos like those pictured in the famous, century-old drawings by Ernst Haeckel--proving that Haeckel's images were falsified. Haeckel once admitted to his peers that he doctored the drawings, but that confession was forgotten.

you have to subscribe to read the whole article. I read about this once before. This is where you

get the idea that embryos go through all stages of evolution before becoming whatever they

are born as. http://www.sciencemag.org/content/277/5331/1435.1.summary

Continuity of Government and Deep Underground Military Bunkers

2011-11-27T14:36:00.000-08:00

I have been doing some thinking lately. The whole thing that
could point to expecting nibiru, on the part of elites, dates to
before that is likely to have been on their radar. Of course
some of it made sense in terms of hiding black ops that involved
nazi tech with or without backengineered alien tech (and some
of the former involved probably the latter to begin with).

And of course, the Cold War which could go nuclear at any time.
Looking at Peter Dale Scott's article
http://lewrockwell.com/orig11/scott-pd14.1.html this was
something they were not averse to starting back then, and there
are other things I read as well.

While nibiru IS now on their radar, it seems to me that the rush
to start WW3 is part of what they were prepping for anyway.
Cause it, survive it, come out on top of the (mostly provoked)
enemies AND on top of the American people and on top of
stuff in the Constitution to their dislike, which would probably
(like the Onion News Network parody said) include a "Bill of
Rights to be rewritten by....classified."

9-11 Pentagon, Friendly Fire?

2011-11-18T20:17:00.000-08:00

a point is made on an otherwise dubious film, that whatever
hit the pentagon penetrated 6 of 10 concrete walls, had to
be a titanium steel nosed thing, not the fragile nose and
body of a plane.

The order was out to shoot down planes, flight 93 is
accounted for, the pentagon plane is not. one video does
show some wreckage on part of the lawn in front of the
pentagon. but not enough.

so, let's suppose the pentagon headed plane was shot
down, but one of the missiles used missed and hit the
pentagon. this would have been a double embarassment,
a US military plane shoots down a civilian plane, which
even though it was being used as a weapon had all
those civilians on it, can you imagine the uproar, and then
we stop a plane from harming the pentagon, but oops, we
blow it up ourselves.

This is by no means an impossibility, the precision
targetting is very overrated, and winds can affect a flying
object.

So where's the plane? probably went down behind some
trees and hills, and was quietly cleaned up and the bodies
burned and dumped in the sea or a common grave.

are the rothschilds closet satanists? and if so how far back does this go?

2011-11-18T12:32:00.000-08:00

Some kind of relationship may have existed between the founder of the
house of Rothschild and the Frankist Jewish heretics, followers of
false messiah Shabbatai Zevi and rejected by Orthodox Jews. Their
symbol was allegedly a red shield, and Rothschild means Red Shield.

there is also a strong resemblance between most Rothschilds and Shabbatai
Zevi himself, and their intra familial cousin marriages, have been interpreted
as to protect a bloodline as much as to keep money in the family.

Frankism was a kind of defacto satanism such as would fly in a Jewish
context. All the values of Judaism especially sexual purity were turned
upside down, and in a way reminiscent of some of the ancient gnostic
heresies, it was thought you could be redeemed by sinning. A classic
case of what I call inversionism, which is where the values of the larger
group the inversionist, whether an individual or a cult, is supposedly a
part of, are deliberately flouted or reversed, as a fast track to occult
power.

Rabbi Felix Antelmann, author of To Eliminate The Opiate vols. 1
and 2, details this strange cult and its depradations on Judaism. Seems
it also had a sidewash into the Christian Scriptures textual criticism,
though its real target was the destruction of the Torah among Jews.
Some Frankists converted fraudulently to Catholicism. Higher Criticism
first became evident in its attacks on the Pentateuch, denying Moses
wrote any of it, and pretending to identify 4 writers or kinds of schools
of thouht at least, within it. The ideas apparently had their origin in
Frankist influence, whether any member of the team originating this
notion was a Frankist at all or not. A history major in college who
did years of research in source material, found that Rothschild's original
name was Bauer, for some reason he changed his name, and may or may
not have been the first to equate the hexagram or "star of David" with
Judaism.

One thing that has always troubled me about the supposedly
uber Orthodox Jewish Kabbalists is the office of Ba'al Shem tov.
The word for Lord in Hebrew is Adonai, and there is no prohibition
on pronouncing this, only on pronouncing the Tetragrammaton or
four letters, YHWH, The Name of God Himself.

So why BA'AL Shem tov? that is the CANAANITE word for lord,
and always in Scripture refers solely to the Canaanite false god,
whose worship was a constant infiltrating threat and an abomination
in YHWH's sight.

What is a good Jewish rabbi doing having that as a name or title?
Something is wrong here.....

Nobody's Gonna Like This Or Maybe A Lot Will

2011-11-16T22:10:00.000-08:00

A while back, I came across a real good analysis of America as being
the mystery Babylon the Great, Mother of Harlots and Abominations,
in the The Book of Revelation. Or maybe it was just New York City.
Doing a google search to locate this original information, I found too
much to go through. But America per se has some unsettling corellations
to Babylon.

Later I ran across an egroup that announced up front it will not
tolerate posts that argue that America is Babylon "because then
we would have to come out of America," which struck me as
real stupid. The issue of whether or not America is, or is any
part of, Babylon the Great, is not something to decide based
on your unwillingness to emigrate.

Now, the reasons for the call to leave geographically are
twofold. (1) to not become a partaker of her sins, and (2) to not
get caught up in and suffer from the devastating wrath that is to
come upon her.

In a small (large for its time but small for now) city state like
ancient Babylon, it is hard to avoid both. In a sprawling geography
like the continenal USA, it is faily easy to avoid both. Well, the
second depends on where you live.

The most recent thing brought to my attention on this,
was from a reader who pointed me to Antipas Ministries.
http://www.antipasministries.com and reading up more on ex members
at odds on some point or another, but agreeing in major points like
this, I located Tribulation Network http://www.the-tribulation-network.com/

Now except for some things Antipas doesn't harp on, the underlying
theology and eschatology seems 90% or more correct to The Bible and
the early church, though there are some deviations predictable from its
founders' protestant background. (I used to be in this category, I am
now Eastern Orthodox but that is another story.)

As time passed as I read their stuff, I noticed a strident and subtly
elitist tone, which was hard to pin down, but detailed by a detractor
who left them. I think the military background of one of the
founders is part of the cause of this.

meanwhile The Watchman Report writer seems to be hearing
from someone pretending to be Christ and The Holy Spirit who
teaches false ideas about the antichrist not being an actual person.
write that site off your list. (I may have a link to some anti occultism
article there on my link list, I don't know, but links in general do
not mean acceptance of everything at the overall site it is at.)

Now, there seems to be some confusions rampant in a lot of
interpretation, that confuses the antichrist with Babylon the
Great, and with the beast she rides, who is explicitly designated
as the seven hills she sits on, also some prior and future kings,
one of which may be the antichrist.

Congruent to all this, is the fact that some of the most abominable
cults in those days, were those of the so called "great mother"
and some of them incl. imagery of her driving or riding lions
or something like that.

Well did H. P. Lovecraft write in one of his dark poems,
"I am the voice of mother earth, from which all horrors
have their birth." dismissed by rationalists as oedipal dread, but
probably more than just that. The devouring mother is a concept
from India to Aztec Mexico. the Biblical concept dust to dust
is totally different, it is about dissolving back into what you were
made out of by the Creator, not about being cannibalistically
reabsorbed by someone who spawned you. Dust is impersonal,
and not something at all like you.

Tribulation network has its flaws too, apparently following the
lead of supposed prophecy experts who try to tie end times events
to Jewish feast cycles, which is ridiculous. no such corellations
are obvious in Daniel or Revelation, and St. Paul tells us to not
even bother about such. If it was important, we would have been
told it is important.

Another big confusion, from the first several hundred years to now,
is the idea of the millennial rule of Christ. early chiliastic movements
focussed on this. the early Church correctly dismissed this as a
heresy.

The problem is, that chiliasm sees Christ as only reigning for a thousand
years. The Bible says the Kingdom of Heaven lasts forever. The Creed
drawing on biblical tradition says "of His Kingdom there shall be no
end."

Revelation DOES NOT LIMIT Christ's reign to a thousand years.

What it DOES say, is that when Christ comes back, He will bind satan
for a thousand years, so that he cannot tempt the nations at all during
that time.

This puts to nought the idea that this time of binding and Christ's ruling
is going on now in the Church, because even though you argue that you
are under Christ's protection if you keep focussed on Him, the fact is
that Revelation said that satan would not be able to tempt THE NATIONS,
not the Church, and further St. Peter and St. Paul make clear that indeed
he DOES tempt and ensnare Christians. The need for exorcism and for
spiritual warfare, whether in the sense of against demons directly, or
against all kinds of sin inclination that can incl. demonic indirect influence,
puts the lie to all of this amillennial and satan is bound now sort of thinking,
which is turning up in some evangelical or charismatic scenes, and took over
the RC and I am sad to say the EO line of interpretation centuries ago.

After that thousand years, satan would be loosed to tempt mankind one
more time, and those who follow him will do a revolt against Christ, but
the revolt will be put down. At some point after that, the general resurrection,
the Last Judgement, and the New Heavens and the New Earth and the New
Jerusalem will come down from heaven, and it being some 1500 miles high
wide and long, a huge cube, and given layers within it several hundred
or more billion square miles of living space, that new heavens and new
earth must involve a total overhaul of the laws of physics.

Meanwhile, Christ will have been reigning all along, during the thousand
years that satan is bound, and all along after.

Back to the America as Babylon interpretation.

Wikipedia lists all the cities that are claimed to be built on seven hills.
there are a lot of them. some are port cities, some are not. America has
at least twelve of them. and in the New York City area is a village called
Babylon.

That doesn't mean that the attack on the WTC was righteous. Indeed,
it was likely in part an inside facilitated job using Saudis, to promote the
babylonish agenda of the satanic ruling class elites.

But Babylon is not the Roman church. The Vatican right now is a city
state, a separate nation within the confines of the nation of Italy, but not
under the Italian government, a sovereign small nation. The RC never
ruled Rome as its secular ruler, wherever the Vatican was held to be
located, whether within Roman city limits or not. The present Roman city
limits are not the same as the old city limits of John's time.

Antipas Ministries joins the ranks of the ignorant and half baked
when it denounces USA having diplomatic relations with Vatican
City as against the Constitution, because Vatican City is not the
Roman Catholic Church, it is a sovereign nation state that happens
to be a theocracy, in this case run by the RC, just like Saudi Arabia
or any other sovereign nation state that happens to be a theocracy
run by some other religious entity. Also, the Constitution only
forbids the federal government from making an established
religion, which says nothing about having some official relationship
with one. An establishment of religion is about making a particular
denomination, not a general category of religion like Christianity
as distinct from Judaism as distinct from Islam as distinct from
paganism of one sort or another as distinct from Buddhism, and
a hierarchy and organization be the official religion which every
citizen has to pay a tithe or something like that to, or at least
taxes support the established religion (same idea as an
establishment of business, a particular church organization like
a particular business) as distinct from some function of it like
religious run schools, which taxes used to support in the USA
until protestants argued these shouldn't when RC schools
started getting tax support.

Diplomatic relations with a sovereign nation state which is
a theocracy is another matter entirely.

Neither is it the kind of port city whose destruction can be seen from
afar, nor is it a major importer of goods and slaves and whatnot. America
is. the great whore is described as drunk on the blood of the saints, and
there is an issue of a kind of mystery and of intoxication, and of the kings
of the earth being "drunk with the wine of her fornication." whoredom
is not always strictly about sex. Lust for power and money is a drug in
itself, and the best detailing and denunciation of all these things I have
seen yet is at the Antipas Ministries site.

Prophecy, someone pointed out, has an odd way of double fulfillment.
such as Abraham, while aged from an aged woman, he begets a son.
And his son though not as old does similar. Prophecy can have a dry
run or partial fulfillment and a replay or main fulfillment later.

contrary to Antipas Ministries take on Babylon, the core of the city
WAS destroyed and disappeared under the sands, only to be dug up
by archaeologists in the 1800s, a haunted and cursed place that
bedouins would not camp overnight at. the location called Babylon
to a late date and eventually renamed, was more like a suburb, just
as a city in Alexander's time and now had a double existence a
rebuilt or extended one existing next to the main one.

The details of Daniel's prophecy about the wars between the kings
of the north and the south were fulfilled in detail in the days of
Antiochus Epiphanus, and maybe some others, yet despite having
to know all this, being only a few hundred years later, and privy to
the Books of Maccabees and pagan historians, the early church
Fathers incl. Hippolytus looked for a fulfillment of these things
in future.

Something very much to recommend Antipas and Tribulation Network,
to those who are concerned about the Apostolic Fathers and somewhat
later Patristic Fathers, is that these two sites' writers are very well
acquainted with them, or at least some of them.

Meanwhile, I am not happy with the Antipas writers' reaction to the
Christian Right being mad at homosexuals. Sure, they are an easy target.
But while they are not top ten on the list of works of the flesh he quotes
from Paul, fornication and lasciviousness are, and fornication is a term
that covers more than just heterosexual prostitution or free of charge
no strings heterosexual adult sex.

elsewhere, Paul definitely puts them as the final degradation end
result of idolatry and refusing to honor YHWH as the true God and
Creator, in Romans, and elsewhere warns against two very sneaky and
dangerous groups of people: the concision, those who wanted to
restore circumcision and mosaic ritual and food laws and "dogs,"
common slang for buggery or anal sex aka doggy style, whether
heterosexual or homosexual. (actually vaginal entry can be done from
the rear also, but that was not the point.) So yes, homosexuals or
rather those who accept their inclinations as right and act on them
or are willing to act on them, are a major issue for Christians.

elsewhere, he does focus on the convergence of perverse sexuality,
whether bondage and pain inducing or pedophilia, and occultism
and the influence of evil spirits released by occultism experiments
in secret government labs and the CIA.

Here's How It All Started Folks! The Christian Right Political Movement a Spawn of Moonie Hell!

2011-11-16T19:38:00.000-08:00

A lot of people don't know this, and others have forgotten. But the whole Christian Right movement we know today, as distinct from earlier manifestations which had their own immoral or otherwise unbiblical "networking" problems, began when some fool preacher with a big following decided that we should all back up the unreverend moon in his fight with the IRS.

Seems the blasphemous and heretical sonofabitch and false messiah, who claims to be the Second Coming or Christ's replacement, or something like that, claimed that he owed no taxes, because you can't tax a church, and he being godintheflesh WAS the church so owed no personal income taxes, period.

The resulting government action was styled "religious persecution" and some people feeling oh so

holy and realpolitik and above others for the insight it takes (or rather lack of same) to partner with

such a person, said that if Moon is the target now, we will be the target next. Ignoring that the issue

was that his claim was such that we as Christian should hold him as anathema and an abomination.

Meanwhile about the same time, some hairbrained Baptist minister in I think it was Washington

state, was running a church school for children, that was not Sunday school but regular schooling,

and refused to use accredited teachers or accredited text books.

Now, there is no difficulty I am sure in finding Christians even of his denomination, who are

accredited teachers. And if the accredited texts include stuff repugnant, that is easy to turn

into an occasion to train against such content, by presenting the content and in the secular

education relevant class, such secular postions as are against it and time the Sunday school

to the biblical reasons against it or some such arrangement.

But in his pride and arrogance he refused to follow the reasonable government guidelines,

rebelling against St. Paul's admonitions to obey government when it doesn't directly and

explicitly attack Christianity. so the State of Washington or maybe it was his county,

locked the building. I think he cut the bolt, and here comes the judge.

So these two incidents, blown up to being "religious persecution" were sold to the

political movement as an end in itself seeking evangelical leaders, as something to back,

when they should have mocked it.

I remember one person on TV (I don't remember if it was Constance Cumbey or

someone else) commented that God has two arms, the church and the state, and in

the Moon case God had used the state to attack something bad, and we Christians

should cheer instead of supporting this. (Now that I think about it, it might have
been that Baptist minister in Washington state that was being discussed, and that
he also had been networking with the moonies. There was moonie money in the
Bush scene also.) I thought it was a good point. It wasn't a

full shutdown of course, but it was undermining of him and perhaps of his status

in the eyes of some who might be deceived, but were open to being affected by

official views outside of churches real or false.

I also remember, that when I started to commit myself to what I saw as a useful

thing, the right wing agenda and see if I could manage a conservative version of

a feminist movement, something seemed to tell me I was prostituting myself,

like the concept of a media whore or something. I thought, and then shrugged it

off. But that voice like thought, probably from an angel who at one point then

or later had a hand in my losing a carborundum pendant I was using as a

pendulum device when I was still messing with some of the occult thinking some

of it was salvageable from the realm of darkness, was correct, and as time wore

on, though I didn't go into full darkness, I did find in retrospect that political

focus eclipsed religious focus, while pretending to be a manifestation of it. I

didn't buy the Moon and whatsisname support as a good thing, but the overall

movement of Christian conservative political action and gung ho as an end in

itself, looking for an outlet, was the big thing. As Screwtape said, it doesn't

matter what is on the other side of "and" in "Christianity and...." so long as it

grows to replace the Christianity part. My doubts were always overshadowed

by the communist menace, but the fall of the Iron Curtain freed me to whole

hog reject the problematic right.

Of course, the anti gay and anti abortion positions are important, but let's

face it, the president doesn't rule by decree so it doesn't matter a rat's ass

what his position is on anything like that, what is more important is the

corrupt and fascistic and immoral and secretly perverted and even satanic

networks that the Republican Party has come to more and more consist of

and even then there were signs of it. Some of which are invisible to anyone

who thinks gung ho fleshliness is okay as long as it has a Christian label

and doesn't examine the underlying drives.

I was in theory against welfare and for the free market and minimal govt.,

but in practice until something better could be set up, that WORKED,

I never denounced anyone for being on it, and helped some who were

and who couldn't make it on the amount they had, especially one with kids

and a drug user "old man." Free or minimal fee services are essential.

Knocking around in my mind however were a few points I'd picked up,

incl. a radio speaker who pointed out that nowhere in The Bible does

God mandate any one form of government, all He cares about is what

will get His will done in that situation at that time, and that we should

pay our taxes.

Finally a good read of the Constitution again, and a lot of other things,

made me realize the whole conservative movement especially the militia

and related forms of interpretation and the economic theories that drove

it, were a pack of lies.

begins here the article that rang a bell.

ALLIANCE BETWEEN
EVANGELICALS
AND THE MOONIES

Written By
S. R. Shearer

The Unification Church of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon embodies within its doctrine a particularly vile heresy: that not only did Jesus fail in His earthly ministry, but that He had sex with the women who followed Him. The attack here is not one that is aimed only at His work on the Cross, but at Him personally as a moral Being.

That any Christian in good conscience could have even the most indirect contact with such people defies all logic and rationale; and more, that Christians should involve themselves in a political alliance with them to "take back the nation for Christ" is "oxymoronic." There is simply no sense to it.

Yet this is precisely what is happening! - and perhaps more than anything else, it reveals the deadly spiritual and theological pathology involved in the lives of those who are embracing "Christian political action." In 1986 reporters questioned Christian Voice's Colonel Doner about his involvement with the Unification Church. He responded, "CAUSA (Moon's political arm) is an anticommunist organization. It's a funding source. CAUSA is anticommunist and personally I'm for anybody that's anticommunist. The Mormons are the same. I'm not going to lend credence to their organization, but networking, I'm happy to network with them." Does that mean that its OK for Christians to ally themselves with the Nazis, the KKK, the Death Squads, etc.? - they're all anticommunists. The answer is apparently, "Yes!"

Ron Godwin, the former second in command to Jerry Falwell in the Moral Majority now is the business manager for Moon's weekly magazine, Insight. The head of the National Religious Broadcasters, Ben Armstrong, along with TBN's Paul Crouch and Bible teacher Hal Lindsey are on the board of Moon's dominated Coalition for Religious Freedom. James Robison, Rex Humbard, and James Kennedy are also members, as is Tim LaHaye. This is to say nothing of Robert Grant, Gary Jarmin and Colonel Doner.

LaHaye's involvement with the Rev. Moon is particularly vile. In 1985 Carolyn Weaver, writing in Mother Jones Magazine, exposed the fact that LaHaye had received substantial funds from Moon's Bo Hi Pak.

She based her report on a cassette tape inadvertently provided to her by an aide to Beverly LaHaye; it was a dictation of a letter from LaHaye to his secretary to be typed and sent to Bo Hi Pak thanking him for a substantial contribution of funds (estimated by some to have been over $500,000.00). A friend of ours - well known in Christian circles - upon reading the article, phoned LaHaye to ascertain the facts. But rather than dealing with the issue - whether or not he took the money - he attacked the source, Mother Jones Magazine, as a "left-wing ragsheet."

Our friend answered, "I don't care if the source was Pravda or Izvestia (two well known Communist papers), is it true?" He angrily hung up the phone. He has since apparently denied the story, most likely compounding his error with a lie. And the fact that he continues to involve himself with Moonie front organizations tends to give credence to Carolyn Weaver - after all, there seems to be very little doubt that the voice on the tape is LaHaye's.

14 Reasons Why We Should Nationalize the Federal Reserve

2011-11-07T10:14:00.000-08:00

read this article, excellent material and suggestions.
http://members.beforeitsnews.com/story/1332/540/NL/14_Reasons_Why_We_Should_Nationalize_The_Federal_Reserve.html?currentSplittedPage=0

"Right now, most Americans believe that the Federal Reserve is
actually an agency of the federal government. But that is simply
not the case. The truth is that the Federal Reserve is about as
"federal" as Federal Express is.

The Federal Reserve openly admits as much. For example, in

defending itself againsPublish Postt a Bloomberg request for information

under the Freedom of Information Act, the Federal Reserve

stated in court that it was "not an agency" of the U.S. government

and therefore not subject to the Freedom of Information Act.""

YHWH is always getting a bad rap.

2011-11-05T18:05:00.000-07:00

And I think this is despicable. Especially on the part of people
who have presumably read the entire Bible or large sections
of it, and the New Testament, and especially when they have
fast and efficient (?) minds. I put the question mark there,
because more than IQ is at work in "brains."

This is demonstrated by some studies that showed that high IQ
in children do not always result in success later. It is other factors
playing a role, incl. emotional and social issues.

Among the emotional issues, one that can operate hidden, not
showing as a "feeling" or "emotion" until it is challenged, but
the driver behind decisions and choices of what to accept or
reject, is the sin of pride, and its relative, vainglory.

Sometimes these go with success, IF circumstances are such they
favor the person with this flaw, AND he or she has a lot of skill
or "talent" in whatever is at issue. If any of these don't fit, then
failure or mediocrity may result, with concomitant envy, semi
submerged anger being in denial about one's abilities or whatever,
or just throwing over the traces and being a "rebel" considering
everything is beneath him or her anyway.

Now, I think when you have someone who studied patristics at
Oral Roberts University, and also graduated from Oxford, UK,
and wrote a book on the level of any of the ancient Fathers on
heresy and the driver behind all the Christological heresies
(not the first to identify it, but other great thinkers and writers
always draw on predecessors anyway), which is confusion
between person and nature, and translated and wrote a profound
introduction to St. Photios the Great's Mystagogy of The Holy
Spirit, still (or at least relatively recently available at St. Vladimir's
Seminary book store), and this person decides that YHWH is a
bad guy, something is wrong somewhere.

Now, the usual pattern is, either YHWH is condemned for being
too lenient, or for being too bloodthirsty. Such people can only
like a God Who is kindly and coddling and takes care of us, but
despise His justice and discipline. Some will accept justice only
if viewed as discipline to teach us and improve us, which of
course pending the Last Judgement, all justice is potentially
since it may cause one to stop and think and ask why and
sincerely seek.

This guy was Eastern Orthodox, then, not seeing the obvious
point that being Orthodox by being recognized by the Ecumenical
Patriarchate or some church in communion with them, means
that that person's or church's doctrine has been checked and
approved, ends up going vagante. That means he got a consecration
as a bishop from someone with an Apostolic Succession, but
outside any recognized Orthodox organization. While this is not
entirely outside the pale in terms of legitimacy if you go back to
basics and the earliest days, since "wandering bishops," those
who are not assigned to a specific diocese, were prohibited by
a later council because of disorders they caused, it is reason to
raise an eyebrow, though the succession he was in is one that
goes back as far as primary consecrators are concerned, if the
online information is correct, to the Russian Orthodox Church.
Exactly how that lineage went out of Russian Orthodoxy is
another matter of no importance here, but the lineage though it
includes Vilatte lineages as secondary consecrators, and Villatte
had his consecration from a monophysite source, is not primarily
of that. So if heretical successions from an Apostle are tainted,
this one is clear. (Villatte's ordination to the priesthood,
however, was RC legitimate.)

By this time, he has imbibed ormus which he figured tends to
exaggerate the users characteristics, good and bad. I would
guess this led to his further problems.

the EO is infested with rejection of the idea of God's justice
right now, so it must have been some other reason that he
went vagante. By this time, his bishop is involved in
astrology according to one source, and himself has shown
evidence of more acquaintance with books of demon
conjuring than should be the case, and a deplorable willingness
to publish demon sigils, arguing these reflect some kind of
wierd physics and not spirits. (the two issues might overlap.
that doesn't make the sigils or what they represent any less
evil.)

A major problem I suspect with this genius, is pride. AND
while denouncing the scholastics, he is an overly systematic
thinker, a system builder, like Aquinas.

In God History and the Dialectic, a brilliant book I would
recommend to everyone, and most of it is available at google
books, he not only nails the source of Christological heresies,
he then goes on to tackle the filioque, and blames that for
all tripartite containing wacko ideas from Joachim of Flores
to Hegelian Dialectic and Marxism which derives in main
part from Hegel.

While there is a lot to be said for this, one main problem
remains. Filioque or no filioque, if you are going to start
trying to draw tripartite conclusions in the physical world
from The Holy Trinity's existence, other than noticing that
threes may be a hint from The Trinity about Themself, or
a case of the artist putting something about himself in his
art, or both, you are going to get some strange results.

The system building mentality builds houses of cards,
complex houses. Or domino houses. these houses are not
entirely dependent in all cases on their components so that
if you pull one or even two out the whole thing falls, but
it will certainly, ah, restructure. Perhaps that restructured
form is like what it should have been, or perhaps it will
be a whole new error.

Systems Analysis, by the way, is NOT the same thing as
system building type thinking, mechanical, rigid, building
logically one thing on another.

There are two ways a syllogism can fail, an unexamined
wrong premise, and an unexamined non sequitur ("it does
not follow"). A flaw in either place will ruin the whole,
or most of it.

Farrell has both. Now, he is onto something with the wierd
physics. but he assumes that all the pagan pantheons,
especially those of people connected with megalith etc.
building like the Egyptians, were disguised mathematical
relationships. This may to some extent be true, but that
doesn't make them any less pagan demons and believed in
bullshit etc.

At some point he noticed that often there was some connection
between economics and priesthoods, and has drawn conclusions
and stated generalities that I don't have the time or resources to
check on.

But he points out that there is a correllation between a closed
system physics and money as monetized debt, and an open
system physics and real money (dismissed as funny money by
proponents of gold standard and central banks alike) which is
much more flexible, is based on the actual production of the
people and so forth. Adjust this a tad more, and add barter and
agreed acceptance of something easy for anyone to get ahold
of like beads and cowrie shells as mediums of exchange, and
you would solve the world's financial problems in general, and
the USA and Europe's financial problems in particular.

but now he argues that all sacrificial religious systems (blood
sacrifice, human or animal) and that of the Atonement by
Christ, is the same, which is to pay a debt. And further you
never get it paid off.

This is patently false for two reasons.

(1) all the sacrificial systems are looking to FEED A
VAMPIRE. a false god may be appeased by the pleasure
of being fed, but it is not a justice stand in for the offender.

(2) a. YHWHism almost alone makes it clear, that the God
being worshipped, the true God, does not need anything,
does not need to feed, and that the issue is substitution
of the animal for the offender who is then to lead an
exemplary life, and that also there is the matter of showing
gratitude by giving to God of what God has given to you,
not being selfish and prideful and thinking you did it all
yourself, or "mother nature" did it or whatever. God made
and directs "mother nature."

b. Whenever did a "bankster" (banker as gangster, and
yes that is a legitimate concept) pay off the debt of the
debtor for him and extend infinite credit on top of that as
St. John Chrysostom described it? YHWH does not act
like a bankster in the Atonement.

The debt to God in part is based on our very existence, but
that is God's pleasure as well as ours. He loves His creatures.
He supports us and give us, human and animal alike, all we
need to live, though it is up to us to make do and work on it.
human sin has marred all this. It is not really DEBT in a sense
we borrowed and can pay back, but rather, all we have and all
good we are, we owe to God.

Pride of course doesn't like this. Lucifer fell in love with his
own beauty, prized himself above God and decided to place
his throne above YHWH's but was cast down instead.

but the debt of sin, is another matter. That was incurred. God
tried to prevent it but we didn't listen. HOWEVER, it is not
as simple as debt of sin or appease the honor of an agrieved
overlord.

St. Athanasius made it clear in The Divine Dilemma in
On The Incarnation, that God had the following choices. Either
let His creation go on dithering off into destruction, which would
be unfitting and better He had not created anything almost, OR
He could violate His own integrity and take back His word that
rebellion would result in death.

OR, He could take on human flesh, suffer the condemnation He
laid on us, and have His cake and eat it too as a result. This is
what He did.

(He also pulled off the greatest chess move in history. Being king
as well as God of Israel, but knowing they would eventually want
a human king, He allowed Himself to be kicked upstairs so to speak,
being God but not king anymore.

After the first king selected was a failure, He made a covenant with
the second and better king, David, and even before this, had said
through prophets that the kingship would always reside in Judah
UNTIL Shiloh, He Who Shall Rule or something like that, shall
come. In Jesus' time alone was Judah under a non Judaean king.
An Idumaean in stead. Herod and his successors.

Now, God (the Second Person of God The Trinity) Incarnates in
the royal lineage. The covenant with David had David's descendants
not just any Judaean on the throne forever.

So now, God in the Person of Jesus Christ, is King again as well
as God, and will be so forever, the Second Coming being to fulfill
the kingly role of the Messiah (Christ is Greek for Messiah, both
mean "anointed").

Now, the Atonement is the greatest act of love ever. Somehow
the devil and his all too eager workers among men, see it as an
act of hate and evil.

Remember that ALL the Trinity not just The Father was upset.
And Christ received the sacrifice of Himself just as much as did
The Father, as the AD 1156 Blachernae Constantinople Council
made clear, often MISQUOTED by EO who oppose atonement.

What it said was, that you must not only say that Christ made
the Sacrifice to The Father but to Himself also, that BOTH He
and The Father received His sacrifice for us.

It is from The Wrath of The Lamb as well as from that of The
Father that we are saved, and there was never any ransom PAID
to the devil. Redemption as one linguist pointed out, in Hebrew
conception can mean not only buying a slave's freedom, paying
a ransom to a conqueror or a kidnapper, but also can mean just
barging in and taking the captive back. The latter is what is
indicated by Christ's redemption of us, it is payment to Himself
and The Father to free us from the Wrath, and it is barging in
and taking us from the devil who Christ crippled.

EO and RC argue that the devil is bound now. That is patently
false or there would be no office of exorcist, sure the devil is
crippled, BUT Revelation speaks of him being bound for 1,000
years unable to tempt the nations. Even now, though weakened
severely, he misleads the unbelievers, "the nations," and the
believers when he can.

So the Atonement is an act of love not hate.

c. YHWH inveighed against human sacrifice, especially of infants,
and against usury meaning ANY DEGREE OF INTEREST
WHATSOEVER. It was the Venetians and Calvin who got
the RC and the Prots to decide that usury was "excessive"
interest, instead of ANY interest.

In the good old days, the way you got gain from making a loan,
was to use the land it was loaned against, or animals or machines
or tools until the debt, interest free, was paid off, or to become
a part owner in the business, and getting some of its profits, until
the debt, interest free, was paid off.

(this is still the way with Arab lenders, which makes their
money so attractive.)

SO, how exactly does YHWH pan out as a bankster?

On a Byte Show, the Aztec legends that blame the institution
of human sacrifice on one Yaotl was hawked. I got a copy of
the book that is their legends. Sure, Yaotl was the name of the
sorceror who, with Tezcatlipoca, started this evil. BUT HE
WASN'T THE ONLY PERSON WITH A YAO BEGINNING
NAME.

that writer just jumped on the Yao part of the name as
showing this was YHWH disguised or an emissary thereof.

Which is patent nonsense.

OWS

2011-11-05T16:56:00.000-07:00

This movement Occupy Wall Street has potential to do good,
but it has stirred a lot of New Age Movement hype in their
favor and claiming they are part of the global consciousness
whatnot. Big money, supposedly the enemy camp, is back of
them as it is back of supposed enemy Tea Party.

This movement is a bit like the Arab Spring, which brought
no good to Christians, or to muslims who prefer life under
moderate regimes, because radical islam gains ground in
such chaos. Perhaps something not so good is in danger of
coming about because of all this.

It certainly would be the kind of thing, combined with any
natural disasters in the works, that could be the excuse for
martial law.

Not that martial law is all that bad in itself sometimes. But
it is a good context in which to pull some not good stuff.
it is irritating when you have curfews and so forth. it is great
when the oppressors who have made your life not worth living
and no justice can be had against them are dead in the street
because caught out under circumstances where they fit a
shoot to kill order.

but there can be a lot of really bad stuff happen also. And
the suppression of free speech and radical changes in the
Constitution and so forth are not good, when the controlling
majority or even controlling minority with guns are in favor
of policies that are evil.like the pro gay and pro abortion
agenda and pro immorality in general and the entrenchment
of corruption in a way involving adjusting laws so whatever
that is left that can be used against it is removed.

So I would be careful of the OWS. Maybe some sane
elements can gain control since it is amorphous, maybe
something more Christian specifically. And definitely not
the kind of anarchism and so forth that would give an excuse
for a crackdown.

joys - NOT - of muslim women

2011-11-03T04:45:00.000-07:00

Joys of Muslim Women

by Nonie DarwishIn the Muslim faith a Muslim man can marry a child as young as 7 year old, consummating the marriage by 9. The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman (who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use her as a toy.
To prove rape, the woman must have (4) male witnesses. Often, after a woman has been raped, the family has the right to execute her (an honor killing) to restore the honor of the family. Husbands can beat their wives 'at will' and the man does not have to say why he has beaten her.
The husband is permitted to have 4 wives and a temporary wife for an hour (prostitute) at his discretion.
The Sharia Muslim law controls the private as well as the public life of the woman.
In the Western World (America) Muslim men are starting to demand Sharia Law so the wife can not obtain a divorce and he can have full and complete control of her. It is amazing and alarming how many of our sisters and daughters attending US and Canadian Universities are now marrying Muslim men and submitting themselves and their children unsuspectingly to the Sharia law.
By passing this on, enlightened US and Canadian women may avoid becoming a slave under Sharia Law. Ripping the West in Two. Author and lecturer Nonie Darwish says the goal of radical Islamists is to impose Sharia law on the world, ripping Western law and liberty in two.
She recently authored the book, Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law.
Darwish was born in Cairo and spent her childhood in Egypt and Gaza before immigrating to the US in 1978, when she was eight years old. Her father died while leading covert attacks on Israel. He was a high-ranking Egyptian military officer stationed with his family in Gaza.
When he died, he was considered a "shahid," a martyr for jihad. His posthumous status earned Nonie and her family an elevated position in Muslim society.
But Darwish developed a skeptical eye at an early age. She questioned her own Muslim culture and upbringing. She converted to Christianity after hearing a Christian preacher on television.
In her latest book, Darwish warns about creeping Sharia law - what it is, what it means, and how it is manifested in Islamic countries.
For the West, she says radical Islamists are working to impose Sharia on the world. If that happens, Western civilization will be destroyed. Westerners generally assume all religions encourage a respect for the dignity of each individual. Islamic law (Sharia) teaches that non-Muslims should be subjugated or killed in this world.
Peace and prosperity for one's children is not as important as assuring that Islamic law rules everywhere in the Middle East and eventually in the world.
While Westerners tend to think that all religions encourage some form of the golden rule, Sharia teaches two systems of ethics - one for Muslims and another for non-Muslims. Building on tribal practices of the seventh century, Sharia encourages the side of humanity that wants to take from and subjugate others.
While Westerners tend to think in terms of religious people developing a personal understanding of and relationship with God, Sharia advocates executing people who ask difficult questions that could be interpreted as criticism.
It's hard to imagine, that in this day and age, Islamic scholars agree that those who criticize Islam or choose to stop being Muslim should be executed. Sadly, while talk of an Islamic reformation is common and even assumed by many in the West, such murmurings in the Middle East are silenced through intimidation.
While Westerners are accustomed to an increase in religious tolerance over time, Darwish explains how petro dollars are being used to grow an extremely intolerant form of political Islam in her native Egypt and elsewhere.
In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. and Canada to elect the President or Prime Minister by themselves! Rest assured they will do so... You can look at how they have taken over several towns in the USA and Canada, Dearborn Mich. is one, Brampton, Ontario is another and there are others...
I think everyone in the U.S. and Canada should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized.
It is too bad that so many are disillusioned with life and Christianity to accept Muslims as peaceful.. some may be, but they have an army that is willing to shed blood in the name of Islam using the peaceful support, the warriors with their finances and own kind of patriotism to their religion. While the US and Canada are getting rid of Christianity from all public sites and erasing God from the lives of children the Muslims are planning a great jihad on the US and Canada...

The New Situation Developing

2011-10-29T07:05:00.000-07:00

It has been pointed out by someone of brilliant mind, who
has unfortunately missed a key truth, that right now we
are in the same situation as the beginning of the Renaissance
and the Reformation. A new technology of information (in
those days the Gutenberg press, in our days the Internet)
is involved in the questioning and destabilization of an
entrenched elite. in those days it was the slightly heretical
and worldly fleshly solutions power oriented Roman
church, in our days the "banksters" or gangsters in banker
respectable format, though frankly I am not sure that the
parallel is exact. A kind of entrenched open and secret
power structure that is supranational and has its own kind
of dogma and purges does exist. A sort of challenge is
going out, though whether all such popular uprisings as
the Arab spring and the Occupy Everywhere crowd are
really comparable is another matter. Crazed fundamentalisms
willing to kill and die for their causes are hardly alien to
the Arab spring, and some others have shown up in the
OWS scene.

Supposedly according to this analysis, the closed system
anti hermetic ideas of physics are partly to blame for the
closed system monetized debt that chains all in more and
more debt and interest.

Ignored by this brilliant mind is that in the days of the
power of the medieval church, all degrees of interest were
illegal, and it was the Venetians to some extent, and Calvin's
arguments more so, that got usury changed from meaning
ANY degree of interest to meaning excessive interest.

The Reformation, Calvin's part of it, made the banksters
possible. Before, to gain on a loan, you had to have a
part ownership given you in whatever until the debt was
paid off, no interest. Or, you kept and used land or
equipment until the debt was paid off, no interest. The
same procedure is what the Arab lenders follow, because
of Islamic laws against all usury, which are still in force,
making their economic gains here and elsewhere, aside
from oil, easier.

Supposedly we now stand at a three pronged crossroads,
Reformation, Renaissance or Revolution. I am not sure
of this analysis, the whole uprising might fizzle or be
coopted, and there is strong evidence of bankster and
elite financing of not only the Tea Party but the OWS
as well. This might of course, in the latter case,
represent a bid for power by a segment of the elite that
looks to unseat its rival segments, by gaining the love
of the masses, or might even represent some actual
humanitarian concern regarding the masses. I don't
remember all that much about the Reformation or the
Renaissance politically, but I think some of this went
on then also.

The Renaissance may have brought hermeticism to the
fore, and these were indeed inspiration for some great
minds as he points out, hermeticism being a mixed
bag of tricks indeed, but it was also the height of
corruption and evil of every kind the in Roman church.

One of the drivers indeed towards the success of the
Reformation, was the horror of the average church
person, who found holy Rome to be a moral and often
spiritual sewer on visiting on pilgrimage.

Savonarola saw this too, and was doing good work
at reforming the unholy people with the church's
blessing, and would have been on the catalog of saints
with other moral reformers and religious revivers, like
St. Francis of Asissi and St. Catherine of Siena, and
many others later, but for one thing, he challenged
the papacy's immoral and corrupt ways. And that got
him shot down.

This brilliant man I am referring to, once wrote an
excellent analysis of the core of christological heresy
and the problem of the filioque. The former lies in
a confusion between person and nature, the latter
creates a general mess out of which Hegelian dialectic
came, partly inspired by Joachim of Fiore, (sp?) and
in turn gave rise to Marx and Hitler.

But another core problem, is the failure to see the love
of God in the atonement. Supposedly the whole sin
as debt and sacrifice as payoff system is the theological
side of banksterism and gives the underpinning idea
that validates debt slavery systems.

But what bankster ever paid off his debtors' debt to
himself, willingly discharged a debt and ate the loss?

The analogy fails.

Part of the problem is having too systematic a mind, you
build complex houses of cards depending on each other.
pull one out and the whole thing, or most of it, collapses.
the unexamined premise and the unrecognized nonsequitur.

Whether we are indeed at such a crossroads in history,
comparable to what happened in the 1500s is another
matter. There are parallels. And like the press, the Internet
can be and is monitored and used by the opposition to
reform or revolution or renaissance, whatever.

Hopefully the mess will sort out without bloodshed or
violent revolution and government overthrow and
assassinations. Such things aside from being illegal,
and bringing bad press on any movement or idea
associated with it and playing thereby into the hands
of its enemies, tend to produce new tyrannies anyway.

Another problem, with this great thinker, is that he
fails to consider that the Roman church was not
behaving consistently to the teaching or example of
Christ or the Fathers. To adopt hermeticism whole
hog heresies incl. is not a solution.

and "a man convinced against his will is of the
same opinion still." teaching and evangelism among
the heresy threatened population is far better than
crusade, because that way the wrong ideas and
practices are eradicated, instead of kept as an
underground stream of pollution. Exactly the
same problem is created when one's spiritual life
is trusted to parents and godparents and popular
art and public events in village church life and
elsewhere, instead of catechism being a requirement
from early days on, at the direction of priests, not
nuns who may be themselves in error

A good example of the latter is the problem, should
one wear a rosary as a necklace? the person researching
this recalled that the nuns who taught her said NO,
but the actual canon law only says that flippant and
secular use of holy things as jewelry is not allowed,
though no one says do not wear a cross openly around
your neck now do they? The attitude is what counts,
and it is pretty hard to treat crucifixes, crosses and
rosaries as mere jewelry to show off the gold or
silver content and not send a religious message as
well. (though some pretty nasty people do wear
crosses, gangsters and whores. probably think they
can do as they please, maybe get good luck from
them, and escape hell by playing a game on God.)

The early Fathers were not strangers to pagan
philosophy and knowledge, and probably knew
some of the material that became the hermetica.

But as I think it was St. Basil said, the Christian
should be like the bee, who goes from flower to
flower, taking what is useful and spurning the rest.

Nibiru Orbit on a Swiss Bank Note

2011-10-28T08:54:00.000-07:00

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=u-tmFtYnrLo#!

this Swiss Bank Note shows nibiru's orbit, though the interpretation from
it varies from this. I would suspect that the orbit shown on the note is
more accurate, and that nibiru is between the orbits of mercury and venus.

as per Marshall Masters' research, it broke the ecliptic at the less dangerous
to us position, but will exit the ecliptic at a more dangerous position if this
and my understanding of its indication of positions relative to earth's orbit,
and earth's positions on the jpl orbit diagrams per dates is correct. To find
earth's position, just cue in any orbiter and look for where earth is now,
and later. If nibiru is essentially behind the sun now, and takes 1 1/2 to
2 years to exit, things will get very bad indeed in 2013.

Usenet post by someone else, St. John Chrysostom and the Problem of Wealth!

2011-10-28T06:21:00.000-07:00

St. John Chrysostom and the Problem of Wealth
by John D. Jones
Wealth … is like a snake; it will twist around the hand and bite
unless one knows how to use it properly.
- Clement of Alexandria, “The Instructor,” 3.6.34
In our social, political, and religious discourse, we tend to focus on
poverty as a problem to be solved, but for St. John Chrysostom,
poverty as such is not the problem, but rather how we acquire and use
wealth, the ideologies and practices that shape economic exchanges,
and the ways in which “the love of money” pervades and poisons human
personal and social relations and, most of all, our relation with God.
In one of his frequent appeals to the wealthy to give to Christ in the
person of the poor, Chrysostom remarks that he makes his exhortations,
not so much because of anxiety for the poor but because I care for
your souls. For they [the poor] will have some comfort, if not from
you, yet from some other quarter; or even if they be not comforted,
but perish by hunger, the harm to them will be no great matter. In
what way did poverty and wasting by hunger injure Lazarus? But none
can rescue you from hell, if you obtain not the help of the poor. 1
At first glance, it appears that Chrysostom is not really interested
in alleviating poverty, but rather in using the poor as a means to
secure the salvation of the wealthy. Indeed, the last sentence might
be taken to justify allowing the continued existence of extreme
poverty as a necessary means for the salvation of the wealthy.
Consider Chrysostom’s claim that Lazarus was not injured by his
poverty. This is an instance of his more general claim that no one is
injured in respect of virtue by suffering injustice or wrongdoing.
Given that our final end is to obtain “everlasting and pure blessings
in Christ Jesus our Lord,” our proper human virtue consists in
“carefulness in holding right doctrine and a righteous life” or “in
being vigilant and sober in the Lord.” In the ancient philosophical
tradition, the specific virtues or excellences (aretai) of something
are those characteristics that it requires in order to live or
function well. Drawing upon a variety of examples found in Holy
Scripture (e.g., Job or the three children thrown into the furnace),
Chrysostom argues that none of them was injured, in respect of virtue
and attaining their final end, by any of the things that they suffered
– indeed, the adverse things they suffered only strengthened their
virtue and deepened their bonds to God.
Although Chrysostom frequently praises poverty and criticizes wealth,
in his view neither is good nor evil in itself. In his Homilies on the
Statues, he praises Abraham for his proper use of wealth. Chrysostom,
moreover, does not view poverty as uniformly good since it can produce
despondency in the poor. Although he often portrays the poor in ways
that emphasize the dire conditions to which they were subjected, he
does not romanticize them. So in contrast to Lazarus, he writes that
the poor “generally speaking, are filled with envy and ill-will when
they see wealthy people even if they have adequate food and other
people are providing for them.” Nevertheless, Chrysostom has little
sympathy with those who wanted to lay the blame for poverty entirely
on the poor and, thus, excuse themselves from showing mercy, from
providing assistance to the poor, or from moderating their
acquisitiveness.
Chrysostom, however, wrote that many people, regardless of social and
economic status, engaged in exploiting others who are weaker than
they. That is, while Chrysostom’s remarks on covetousness or the love
of money most frequently targeted the wealthy, he believed that this
sort of love was rampant throughout society. So, in discussing the
vice of covetousness, he remarks:
Let us therefore, both poor and rich, cease from taking the property
of others. For my present discourse is not only to the rich, but to
the poor also. For they too rob those who are poorer than themselves.
And artisans who are better off, and more powerful, outsell the poorer
and more distressed, tradesmen outsell tradesmen, and so all who are
engaged in the market-place. So that I wish from every side to take
away injustice. 2
Chrysostom recognized that, insofar as people love money, “all things
become money,” “everything is reckoned in terms of it,” and economic
gain becomes the criterion for action. “Should it be military service,
should it be marriage, should it be a trade, should it be what you
will that any man takes in hand, [the lover of money] does not
undertake anything until he see these riches are coming in rapidly
upon him” (Homilies on Matthew, 90.3).
Put in more modern terms: the love of money leads to the
commodification of all goods, services, and people such that economic
gain drives all transactions and interactions with others.
Because the love of money poisons human relations and the ways in
which we acquire and use wealth, Chrysostom questioned the legitimacy
of acquiring wealth, whether for security, status, family, almsgiving,
etc. Moreover, he frequently raised questions as to the manner in
which wealth was acquired. He argued, for example, that inherited
wealth often rested on unjust acquisition or theft.
Indeed, despite his claim that wealth in itself is neither good nor
evil, at times he seems to view the notion of honest wealth as a
virtual oxymoron. More importantly, since all things belong primarily
to God, theft consists not simply in taking what belongs to the poor
but in failing to render assistance to them and depriving them of the
material goods that they need in order to live. He also took note of
how people pursued wealth to escape poverty while remaining
indifferent to the ways in such pursuit might drive others into
poverty.
And what is the specious plea of the many [for loving wealth]? I have
children, one says, and I am afraid lest I myself be reduced to the
extremity of hunger and want, lest I should stand in need of others. I
am ashamed to beg. For that reason therefore do you cause others to
beg? I cannot, you say, endure hunger. For that reason do you expose
others to hunger? Do you know what a dreadful thing it is to beg, how
dreadful to be perishing by hunger? Spare also your brethren! Are you
ashamed, tell me, to be hungry, and are you not ashamed to rob? Are
you afraid to perish by hunger, and not afraid to destroy others? And
yet to be hungry is neither a disgrace nor a crime; but to cast others
into such a state brings not only disgrace, but extreme punishment.3
Throughout his writings, in exhorting people patiently to care for the
poor, Chrysostom raised significant questions about the ways in which
people acquired wealth, the dubious ends for which wealth was used,
and the distribution of wealth and other economic means within his
society. He explicitly rejected the idea that we can give alms without
regard to how our wealth has been acquired. In his Homilies on John,

he writes: “By almsgiving, I do not include what is maintained by

injustice, for this is not almsgiving, but savageness and inhumanity.
What profits it to strip one man and clothe another?” In other words,
we cannot seriously appropriate Chrysostom’s teachings about wealth
and poverty for ourselves without raising critical questions about how
we acquire and use wealth in the face of widespread poverty and
suffering.
Yet, these sorts of questions and concerns may seem moot given
Chrysostom’s own view that voluntary poverty – poverty undertaken out
of love for Christ – is desirable and his constant admonition to the
poor patiently to bear their poverty. After all, if the poor are
patiently to bear their poverty and poverty itself is not to be feared
but even embraced, then why should we be concerned with the
alleviation of poverty even when it arises through injustice? Yet
consider this passage:
The multitude…imagine that there are many different things which ruin
our virtue: some say it is poverty, others bodily disease, others loss
of property… Some bewail and lament the inmates of the prison…others
those who have been deprived of their freedom, others those who have
been seized and made captives by enemies…but no one mourns those who
are living in wickedness: on the contrary, which is worse than all,
they often congratulate them, a practice which is the cause of all
manner of evils. 4
For Chrysostom, it is precisely those who “live in wickedness” that we
should mourn, since those who commit injustice are harmed by
themselves rather than those who are subjected to injustice and
suffering.
Hence, despite the fact that each of us should patiently endure the
unjust suffering to which we might be subjected, we cannot be
indifferent to acts of injustice. Indeed, with due regard for our own
sinfulness, we must seek to correct injustice and evil primarily for
the sake of those who inflict it since, in Chrysostom’s view, it is
the perpetrators rather than the victims who are harmed.
Thus, given Chrysostom’s views about the evils caused by love of
wealth and the apparently great difficulty of obtaining and using it
justly and virtuously, it is not surprising that, in continually
admonishing people to obtain and use wealth properly, he can say that
he is less concerned with the poor as such than the wealthy or, for
that matter, anyone who acquires and uses wealth improperly.
Note, however, that Chrysostom was not indifferent to the terrible
sufferings and humiliations that the poor endure. While he exhorted
people patiently to bear their own poverty and suffering, while he
commended the life of voluntary poverty, he also encouraged the
citizens in Antioch (as we see in his Homilies on Acts) to share their
belonging in order to eliminate poverty. Indeed, in his Homily on
Almsgiving, he tells his listeners to “correct poverty and do away
with hunger.”
But from the standpoint of our proper virtue – the one thing that
really matters – the love of money poses a far more serious problem to
humans than being subjected to poverty.
The following text illustrates the profound extent of this problem:
How long shall we love riches? For I shall not cease exclaiming
against them: for they are the cause of all evils. How long do we not
get our fill of this insatiable desire? What is the good of gold? I am
astonished at the thing! There is some enchantment in the business,
that gold and silver should be so highly valued among us. For our own
souls indeed we have no regard, but those lifeless images engross much
attention. Whence is it that this disease has invaded the world? Who
shall be able to effect its destruction? What reason can cut off this
evil beast, and destroy it with utter destruction? The desire is deep
sown in the minds of men, even of those who seem to be religious. 5
Chrysostom’s critique here is obviously not directed simply at those
who love gold and silver but to those for whom, in loving money,
“money becomes everything.” Suppose, however, we substitute
commodities for money. Given powerful messages in consumer societies
that happiness, security and self-worth lie in consumption; that we
should buy whatever we desire; and that, because our desire for things
is unlimited, we can in principle never attain “self-
sufficiency” (autarkeia), it is not hard to see how deep seated the
problem of the love of money is in our society.
We may disagree with the particular analyses and solutions that
Chrysostom offers, but as Fr. Georges Florovsky rightly observes:
[Chrysostom] had to face the life in great and overcrowded cites … He
simply could not evade social problems without detaching Christianity
from life … In his sermons we find, first of all, a penetrating
analysis of the social situation. He finds too much injustice,
coldness, indifference and suffering in the society of his day. And he
sees well to what extent it is connected with the acquisitive
character of [his society].
Even if we correctly grant, with Fr. Florovsky, that Chrysostom was
not primarily a social reformer, nevertheless, we cannot follow
Chrysostom’s teachings about wealth and poverty and remain unwilling
to critique and change the social relations, institutional structures,
and ideologies that undergird our acquisition and use of wealth; and
to challenge the widespread belief that people are poor simply because
of their alleged behaviors and attitudes.
For Chrysostom, our primary task is not simply to establish new modes
of economic exchange and social relations. Our primary task is neither
reducible to, nor understandable within, purely secularized approaches
to social reform. For this task is grounded in metanoia (repentance) –
“the complete change and renewal of heart and mind: from the heart and
mind of sin to ‘the mind of Christ’.” This requires a spiritual
transformation of our relationships with one another in an imitation
of Christ that is made possible by our cooperation with divine grace.
Chrysostom notes that “the rule of the most perfect Christian life is
seeking those things that are for the common advantage…. For nothing
can so make a man an imitator of Christ as caring for his neighbor.”
In particular, almsgiving is not simply a means by which wealthy
people give money to the poor. He exhorts everyone to give alms. No
one, he often says, is so poor that they cannot imitate the poor widow
who gave two mites. Even if they have not a single penny, they can
always provide a cup of water to a stranger, comfort others, or in
some way show mercy and kindness to others.
First in Antioch and then in Constantinople, Chrysostom sought to
establish a community in which people mutually cared for one another.
Such a community is grounded in a gift economy – that is, in
intentions and actions that have a fundamentally Eucharistic nature to
them. In giving alms to Christ in the person of the poor (more
broadly, in rendering assistance to all of those in need), we
effectively offer a sacrifice on the altar, the body of Christ, that
is the poor person.
Having said “The first and great commandment is ‘You shall love the
Lord your God,’” he added “and the second … is like it. ‘You shall
love your neighbor as yourself.’” And see how with nearly the same
excellence he also requires this. For as concerning God, he said “With
all your heart”: so concerning your neighbor, ‘as yourself’ is the
same as ‘with all your heart.” If this commandment were duly observed
there would be neither slave nor free, neither ruler nor ruled…. There
would be no poverty, no unbounded wealth if there were love, but only
the good parts that come from each. From the one we should reap its
abundance, and from the other its freedom from care and should neither
have to undergo the anxieties of riches nor the dread of poverty. 6
In this way, our actions are a way of giving thanks to Christ for the
love he showed to us in his passion and resurrection. In this self-
sacrificial love or, better, co-suffering love, we take up the Cross
and follow Christ. In so doing, we obtain Christ’s loving kindness
towards us. That is, through our actions we communicate to others the
loving kindness that Christ has shown to us. In this way, we imitate
Christ and become in some way like Christ.
For Chrysostom the real solution to the problems posed by wealth lies
precisely in this sort of love writ large in community. Noting that
for Christ “the sign of perfect love for him is the love of one’s
neighbors,” Chrysostom offers this remarkable observation:

Nibiru's Orbit is 738 1/2 years and it nothing to do with The Exodus

2011-10-13T17:56:00.000-07:00

Planet X aka Nibiru is usually referred to when, when its orbital length
is referred to at all, as having a 3600 year orbit. This is suspect for
two reasons.

first, it is agenda driven, and assumption driven.
second, the start date is widely disputed.

The agenda is disprove supernatural incidents in The Bible as
being supernatural, the assumption, when no anti supernaturalism
missionarizing is being attempted, just the idea taken for granted,
is that there are no supernatural incidents in The Bible, they are
made up, or hysterical misinterpretations of natural phenomena.

So Nibiru (and before that Velikovsky and his catastrophism
ideas) is timed to the Exodus to explain what happened then.

Trouble is, first they assume, then they calculate from the
assumption to the nearest assumed due back date, then
argue back from that. This is circular reasoning.

The date for the Exodus, based on varying interpretations of
The Bible, like what is being in or out of Egypt does that
incl. locations it had control over at times, or only Egypt homeland,
and what does "oppressed" mean and was this to be only in Egypt
or also before in Canaan since it was not yet the Jewish land, etc.,
ranges by officials and Bible date counters, from 1234 BC or
something like that to 1557 BC or something like that.

So you can't make a very good estimate based on some 300
years variation of start date, and the thing not being undeniably
present yet, though most likely it is getting closer.

But thanks to some helpful people online, and a little more
searching on my own, I found out that there is a string of meteor
craters across northern Europe that all hit c. 200 BC. Procopius
in AD 536 describes a nasty situation with the sun darkened by
intense dust or ash and famine for at least a year maybe 2, in
most places reported it was 2 in some places 3 years.

Historians figure supervolcanos going off, and/or an asteroid
strike, would account for this. Both would be consistent with
a nibiru flyby.

Since there is no year zero, AD 1 is preceded by 1 BC, and
never mind that Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ may have been
born a few years earlier than that due to a counting error on
someone's part, that leaves a cycle of 735 years.

Now if you assume (but now we are working with a couple of
real dates, one precise and one approximate - for a global
catastrophe) that nibiru is due back in late 2012 or in 2013,
and its effect is dependent on its position vis a vis us and the
sun when it breaks the ecliptic, which it does twice, coming in
and going out, being on an obliquely tilted as well as eliptical
long orbit, some flybys, perhaps most, would be uneventful
or minimally eventful.

Others would be near extinction level events.

There is enough disturbance going on to assume the 2012 2013
ETA is correct, or close enough. subtract 536, a precise date
from that and divide the result by half, you get 738.5. Plug this
in and remember the AD 536 date is precise, while the 200 BC
date is not, and you get AD 1274 as a mostly uneventful flyby,
some odd weather incl. the "divine wind" storm that drove the
invading Mongol fleet back from Japan, AD 536 as disastrous,
200 BC as disastrous (and that 200 BC date is approximate).

Keep on plugging it in, and you get various dates.
940 BC
1678 BC
2417 BC the disputable 2300 BC date of end of the Egyptian
6th Dynasty saw some disaster that wiped out
civilization there and elsewhere for a few years.
3165 BC
3904 BC
4642 BC
5381 BC
6119 BC
6858 BC
7596 BC
9073 BC
9812 BC
10,550 BC
11,289 BC

Now, if you tweak the begats and assume some generation's names
were left out and so forth, you can push Creation back about 12,000
years or maybe another double millennia. This squares with some
geological information, like the amount of salt dissolved in the sea.

The date for The Flood is similarly open to some question. There is
no way even a worst case scenario fly by is going to make a world
flood, but the tsunami action increased by it could have played a role.

At one point, God said that the pre flood mankind had 120 years.
This is usually interpreted to mean the lifespan of everyone, but it
could have been the time left before God brought The Flood,
having decided to coincide it with nibiru's upcoming next visit, to
maximize the effects. If people had repented, it would have been
a normal worst case (or even miraculously restrained effects?)
flyby, not a global flood, which was caused by unleashing water
from below ground, from the sky and maybe snagging some
from Mars, plus nibiru adding to the trouble.

One of those dates BC may be the date of The Flood. But if
that was strictly nibiru normal worst case scenario effects, we
would have had several global floods by now, and we haven't.

Ed Dames on Art Bell at Coast to Coast

2011-10-07T15:40:00.000-07:00

I was listening to a youtube copy of this program. Several things are
interesting, but first, I think Dames is probably onto something most
of the time, except when it can be prevented so it of course doesn't
happen.

The reason why, is that he claims to keep objective, no opening up
or surrender just observe, and seems to have the kind of self
control to do so, and here is what he had to say about reincarnation.

It doesn't exist.

This, unlike other psychics, hypnotic regression slop job results,
New Age, etc., is in line with the teachings of The Bible and the
early Church to now.

What he says happens, is not unlike something I figured might
happen to explain the experiences some have had. That instead
of having memories of a past life, you have downloaded someone
else's memories.

Dames had remote viewed himself in terms of past lives, and
maybe others I forget if he said this or not, but the result was, that
there are people in the past who have your personality, are in
every way identical, their radio broadcast so to speak is the same
as yours, so you can receive it like two different radio programs
coming through on the same station.

BUT THE SOULS ARE NOT THE SAME.

We only go around once, folks.

Now as to Nibiru, he hasn't remote viewed that. But some time
ago, he stated that remote viewing of the future (which I would
think would be like accessing and compiling gigabytes of data
incl. stuff you might not even pick up on and then drawing
conclusions, but missing some of the contributing factors, since
remote viewing is very focussed on target), over and over these
big companies who employed his civilian agency, were coming
up with some kind of major problem c. 2013. In fact, the USA
in general has some major non operational condition about
that time, then recovers sort of.

The Kill Shot as he calls an incredible coronal mass ejection
(aka CME) from the sun fries everything, when he couldn't
see, but it would happen soon after a Shuttle flight has to be
cut short because of meteorites pelting it.

The Shuttle program is down as per USA, but Russia and
maybe others have taken it up, all he saw was a Shuttle
type craft, back in the days when we were the only ones
who had this.

Now, nibiru doesn't play in the pictures he gets, because
it wasn't looked for.

What DOES play, is the sort of stuff it can cause.

Now, Dames says that RV is passive as compared to
the other team he implied exists, telekenesis and stuff
like that.

But it is only passive in the sense that it acquires information
withoiut intervening in any way. In fact it is quite active.
There is no passive receptive state involved.

Dowsing, which he gets into in his training courses
described online, is another matter. Dowsing uses the
human as an antenna and requires a degree of letting
something else operate through your fingers. This may
be nothing but your own mind reaching out and feeding
back information. this is the usual interpretation. But the
fact that any degree of passivity, of some segment of
your body doing some action other than directed that
is normally only done by conscious direction, is not cool.
This opens the door to spirit directed automatonism
like Ouija boards, where control is much more surrendered.

Sometimes, things like dowsing rods and planchettes
have been observed to move on their own, with far
greater strength than the light touching fingers could do,
which is another bad sign.

you don't want anything messing around in your body,
or your mind, but your own self. And though possession
may never occur, a presence, a spirit, a liar, a djinn can
get some foothold however temporary. And such contacts
once made may be hard to get rid of.

Immanuel Swedenborg once observed that all spirits would
lie if they had the opportunity. That in itself tells you that
what he thought were angels and spirits were demons.

There is an interesting bit of info I picked up online, someone
had apparently "worked with YHWH" I guess approached
Him like one would try to conjure up a spirit, or perhaps only
His angels. (and the story could have been a lie, or it could
have been clever demons mimicking what might be expected
of such contact, read on, or it could have been the operator's
own mind ditto.)

This person said he didn't like it, and was frustrated, because
when he had some angel on the line, so to speak, and he
asked it something, it would always have to check with
someone, presumably YHWH to get permission to answer.
And often the answer was that he was not allowed to tell
the information, or the operator wasn't supposed to get
that knowledge, or something like that. This honest
withholding of information instead of making stuff up and
coddling the ego and curiosity of the operator, makes me
suspect this may have been a real angelic contact. Demon
contacts (incl. those that are a case of "satan transforming
himself into an angel of light," which is 99.99% of New Age
angel and spirit guide stuff), always enhance the sense of
being special, having a glorious purpose, ruling over all,
evolving, ascending, elitism of one sort or another. By
contrast, the prophets of YHWH in the OT were not
happy about their job, and did not exalt themselves but
exalted YHWH. Neither did they exalt mankind as some
kind of god, the very core of The Fall, the original sin.
they did not tickle the ears of their hearers, and I think
it was Jeremiah whom God told to tell people about the
false prophets and false prophetesses of the pagan
and syncretistic cults among the Israelites, that they
prophesied out of their own hearts, and did not speak
the words of YHWH.

Isn't this prophesying out of one's heart what the New
Age advocates? beware. In Deuteronomy and elsewhere
we are warned not to "watlk in the imagination of your
hearts." The heart was the location of the mind, in popular
thought, feelings were located more in the liver and guts.

note on radiotelescopes and nibiru

2011-09-28T22:15:00.000-07:00

An image was posted to youtube by a leaker from the South Pole Telescope,
generally interpreted as an IR image. It was quickly taken down, the account
cancelled and being an anonymous or fictitious account couldn't be recovered.
It had however been downloaded and reused elsewhere.

Now an argument has been made, that that telescope is not IR but a
radiotelescope. It is a radiotelescope. However the kind of images
produced by radiotelescopes, incl. the same kind of image production
that that photo had. http://images.nrao.edu/

Dutchsinse exposed and demonic plan involving solfuggio frequencies

2011-09-24T23:20:00.000-07:00

Everybody needs to listen to these two videos
at this link.
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=msendtime&aq=f

Solfuggio sounds are allegedly based on Gregorian
and Byzantine chant, but this is just a trap for
people who like Gregorian or Byzantine, and the
frequencies have been tweaked into something
abnormal and unwholesome.

On one page, there are crustals that were produced
by the sounds, like snowflakes but 3D, each one
hollow, and with something in the hollow or hiding
deep in it.

I think these sounds unduce a simi;ar effect in your
brain THIS IS NOT HEMISYNCH! the effect is that
some kind of portal or channel is made, maybe with
a blob in the center which is inhabitable by a spirit,
and broadcasts its availability perhaps to them.

The effects described on these videos by those who
have used them, are NOTHING like ANYTHING I
have experienced listening to Byzantine chants.

This is a trap not only for audio experimentally
inclined people, but for RC and Orthodox and
those who like their musical culture. The effect
is very bad very wierd, might facilitate possession
or make you usable as a channell or portal for
something to come through you and do stuff
elsewhere.

Tea Party Gets the Constitution Wrong

2011-09-21T18:58:00.000-07:00

September 18, 2011

Exclusive: The Tea Partiers love to cite the U.S.
Constitution as supporting their contempt for the
federal government. But they don’t realize that
the Constitution represented the most important
assertion of central authority in American history,
writes Robert Parry.
Robert Parry broke many of the Iran-Contra
stories in the 1980s for the Associated Press
and Newsweek.

the position makes sense. Obscured by bright full sunlight, but let
a cloud block the sun and it becomes visible. Its position doesn’t change
relevant to the sun. This is probably to the left and BEHIND the sun,
taking light from it and reflecting it. Being a brown dwarf star, it doesn’t
produce any light to speak of, just infrared. John Moore said in “Global
Warming, What The Government Isn’t Telling You,” that most people
made no preparation until 1999 when Y2K was looming. That only got
corrected in time because of the fuss everyone made. So 2012 is
being pushed (presumably by those who want us to survive) and later
dates (presumably by those who want the population culled). The
real date is 2013, therefore with that hint. I guess he’d have been
signing his own death warrant if he did more than hint. Both parties
save as many as possible, and let as many as possible die, would for
a long time be in agreement in keeping things quiet.
This would also explain FEMA’s refusal to let help into New Orleans
and now into the fires in Texas. ALL THOSE PLACES, EVERYWHERE
UNDER 100 FOOT ELEVATION, ARE GOING TO BE GONE. NOT SLOW
SEA LEVEL RISE BUT TSUNAMI AND DESTRUCTION. Better let people
evac themselves in response to a disaster now, then die later. Evac to
a supposed safe point nibiru relevant, might end up evacking millions
to a kill zone. precision is impossible. California is a siesmic nightmare
and impossible to call, but the whole west coast will be down, or a string
of islands, and the flat plain in Washington State flooded. Oddly, the
naval prediction map, NOT a chanelled nonsense map, shows the California
valleys still intact.

Pale Horse

2011-09-12T09:45:00.000-07:00

http://www.solaris-sport-horses.co.uk/perlino_akhal_teke_stallion.shtml

This, I think, is what a "pale horse" would refer to, Kambarbay at this
link. Cremello is a similar color. This turns up in a lot of breeds with
Turkic blood in their foundation ancestors, incl. the American Saddlebred
I think, and some others. At the time Revelation was written, many would
know of these horses in the hands of destructive Scythian tribes, ancestors
of the Turk peoples. So one would get the picture of a massacre happy
rider who was pretty invincible and not outwittable like the rider on the
black horse, who related to economic issues and probably oil, the same
color as the horse.

Medieval artists sometimes painted this horse a green color, for lack
of any idea what it might be.

Blue Kachina, Red Kachina

2011-09-11T18:49:00.000-07:00

I am very hesitant to advise people to get into anything that
promotes the Kolbrin Bible (a copy of the Bible with odd
additions found in the box of mojo and miscellany of a
fortuneteller in the 1800s) or Edgar Cayce (obviously misled
by demons who used useful information as bait).

A point was made on such a site, regarding Hopi Prophecy.
The Hopi got here c. 500s AD, and have some very strange
things about them. First off, their Kachinas incl. one that it
bloody, with feathers, messed up looking but very powerful
called Maasau. Said out loud, it sounds vaguely like a warp
of Messiah, and supposedly Maasau used to come play and
dance with them long ago, but stopped doing so.

This would fit a warped vague memory of Jesus, the way
He would have looked from the beating and damage on
the Cross, and the feathers would relate to The Holy Spirit,
and that the kachina in question used to meet with them, but
stopped doing so, would also fit a scenario of the pulling
away of the divine presence, as the people fell into paganism
and other things.

They were given prophecies, presumably during that time,
that seem to have partly come true, and incl. Christlike
approach to dealing with some problems.

Specifically, the coming of the white man, and that they
should follow a path of nonviolence. When the dust settled,
and the oppressive Apache and Navaho (in flight from
which they developed the pueblo style of living), it was
they and their relatives or imitators the Zuni who came out
on top, having peace and prosperity, and the Navaho,
though technically an Apache category, had borrowed a
lot of their culture, basket weaving and turquoise and
silver working (though there is ongoing strife between
Navaho and either Zuni or Hopi I forget which over some
land, the problem originating with white designation of
property lines).

They have this prophecy. Apparently the Blue Kachina
will come as a harbinger of trouble. After him the much
more dangerous Red Kachina, and when the latter
dances in the plaza, and TAKES OFF HIS MASK, then
all hell will break loose, there will be disasters and
upheavals which will change our way of life on earth.

Also, WW III will not begin in Africa, the Islamic
nations, or China, and USA will be nuked.

Their elders have made visitations to the UN to give
warnings based on their prophecies. Alone among
prophecy keeping peoples these seem to have a
disinterested (not after their own gain) concern for
the rest of the world.

Revelation in The Bible speaks of four horsemen,
and given the economic issues of the one riding the
black horse, we are probably in his time now. The
one on the "pale" horse, death from all kinds of stuff,
may be fading into the scene now. Right after all this,
there is an earthquake that affects all lands at once,
all islands moved out of their places, the stars seem
to fall, sky rolls up, people calling on the rocks to
hide them from the wrath of The Lamb.

This scenario is all set to play out now, because the
conditions described are what would be seen by
someone on the ground, when a catastrophic crustal
displacement occurs, by itself or aided by the brown
dwarf star passing by soon, or even the full axis
reversal it could cause. And governments and private
rich have been building bunkers for decades, even
more AFTER the Cold War ended, and the contractors
are too backed up to build anything more right now.

And FEMA is buying up all disaster supplies from
private suppliers, who can't fill orders from regular
citizens on time any more, and have told them that
FEMA's orders are the cause.

The above behavior by those in a position to know
if something is going to happen, is consistent with them
expecting something to happen.

IF Elenin is the Blue Kachina, and its hydrogen cyanide
outgassing looks blue or bluish green before its apparent
breakup (which may have left some big chunks available
to hit us or do nothing), then coming soon after is the
Red Kachina, which will suddenly become apparent when
before it has been hidden.

Nibiru. A brown dwarf star gives off no light, though
perhaps might be visible in reflected light at some angles.
It gives off radiation, it gives off infrared.

If Elenin is orbiting Nibiru, then the latter is real near.
If Elenin is being driven by Nibiru, having been flung
out of a normal orbit and dragged but in advance of it,
then Nibiru is farther away, but soon will be close.

The disasters that corellate to positions of Elenin to Earth,
would instead reflect the presence of Nibiru, invisible, but
with Elenin orbiting it. If it is not orbiting Nibiru, but
driven by it - and the presence of two or three other objects
travelling WITH but not around Elenin would point in this
direction - then the disasters reflected Nibiru's gravitational
and electromagnetic influence from a greater distance.

Now it might be that Nibiru is due to pass between us and
the sun this month, September AD 2011, or this might not
happen for some time, if Nibiru is driving, not dragging,
Elenin.

Elenin's main risk, because of its nature with the hydrogen
cyanide as a huge capacitor, would be to trigger "cosmic
lightning bolts" shorts between sun and earth Carrington
Event or worse, but if its disintegration incl. going dark,
then it has shed that hydrocyanic coma and is now harmless.

Remember, Blue Kachina is a harbinger, not the problem
itself. The relationship of Elenin to Nibiru if orbital, means
we are about out of time. If merely driven, by a kind of
slingshot and dragging along effect, then we are not out of
time. It may be the latter is the case, because although the
great eclipsing of the sun by Planet X and other disasters
are being touted for this month, starting Sept. 26, that is
dependent on Elenin being the brown dwarf, and its very
visibility rules that out, there are extant orders out by the
Russian government for the building of some 5,000 more
bunkers, which sounds like they are privy to information
that gives us another year or two.

Nibiru, or the Red Kachina if that is what it is, comes in
on a long, oblique orbit, which has been duplicated on a
Swiss bank note design by the way. Interesting. The Vatican
and several other places around the world has strange
sculptures, each a little different, but all of them huge brass
balls with breaks and deformities in them that might reflect
omething about Nibiru's appearance at various times under
radio telescope observation, or possible rip up the surface
effects on Earth.

If Nibiru is in the part of the orbit, that puts it on the other
side ofthe sun from us, then it has caused the disasters we've
been having, and will eventually complete the solar loop,
coming back between us and the sun, about this time through
winter in 2012 or more likely 2013. John Moore observed,
"Global Warming, What The Government Isn't Telling You,"
that it had been noticed that when the Y2K thing was looming
(a disaster that was averted by a scramble of software rewrites
and so forth because of all the fuss being made about it), most
people delayed their preparations until a year before.

Therefore the 2012 date and later was being put forth, but its
the wrong date.

Sounds like those who want a population cull, will have us
looking for a much later date, or to go for 2011, it passes
uneventfully so to speak, and they shrug it off and are caught
unprepared the next two years, or will buy a much later date
and not prepare at all in time.

And the ones who want to warn, but don't dare be too
aggressive or be killed, promote 2012 so as many as possible
will be ready by 2013.

That was my original scenario, until the Sept. 2011 scare came
on, but that is dependent on (a) Elenin being Nibiru which it
isn't, and (b) Elenin orbiting Nibiru which it might not be.

When Nibiru swings back around the sun, and is between us
and the sun, we will get (as one person put it) a kick in the ass,
and earth's axis will tilt over to a full reversal, and the north
pole physically will be where the south pole now is and vice
versa. Welcome to the Southern Hemisphere, USA and Europe
and Russia. The sun will rise in the west and set in the east.

(I hate to think what kind of disruptions this will cause within
the Eastern Orthodox Christian scene, should we continue
praying to the old east direction, towards The Holy Sepulchre,
or towards the new east, old west, which when you run around
the globe will still put you at The Holy Sepulchre anyway?)

How Rick Perry Has Been on the Public Dole His Whole Life

2011-09-08T02:54:00.000-07:00

Yet another welfare bum. Rick Perry has mostly created low paying
inadequate jobs in the private sector, the big job growth is in the
public sector, and from childhood up he has been receiving nothing
but government money himself!

"So when this taxpayer-supported lifer flits into your town to
declare that he will slash public benefits and make government "as
inconsequential as possible," he means in your life, not his.

Perry literally puts the "hype" in hypocrisy. Forget his tall tales and
political B.S. -- look at what he actually does."

2011-09-07T07:47:00.000-07:00

there is a lot of hysteria and confusion on the web about all this,

here is the sanest and most likely correct I can find. on some youtube things, it cuts off and you click on the next one or find the same title on the right column, with the next up number. somewhere in the Global Warming What the Government Isn't Telling You bunch of videos (or go to http://www.stagevu.com and download the whole thing) is an earth changes map John Moore got to see from some Navy guy, classified map he reconstructs, and unlike the usual earth changes chanelled nonsense maps this shows the Rockies intact and the eastern seaboard, all gulf coast states and the California coast is gone. California impossible to call because of seismic issues they said, interesting that the valleys are shown intact.

Washington State's flat plane inland from the mountains is an

inland sea, Mississippi River is 50 miles wide connecting the Great Lakes to the Gulf, and Wisconsin is gone, underwater.

try to ignore the emotion laden music and pay attention to what is said and shown.

the peculiarities reported about Comet Elenin make sense if it is orbiting or being dragged along by something else, and a brown dwarf star would be invisible except with it occludes something else you can see, or in infrared photography. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8ZMn_oZXxo&feature=related

the alignments of Elenin and Earth that corelated to massive earthquakes, makes no sense as per Elenin, which is not a snowball, but a 2 kilometer rock, but if it is being dragged by something bigger and more massive, then the apparent corelation to Elenin is actually a corelation to the other thing with it.

the video series free online, that rabbithole2.com

has for sale as a DVD, mentioned on the above link. Probably argues all biblical disaster had to do with this not miracles, but that doesn't do much regarding events in The Bible that are not explainable this way involving God's speaking and other things. Timing of 3600 years is based on this idea, the actual orbit

is probably different. Egypt and others claimed that the sun used to rise in the west and before that the east and several such changes, which would point to a total global flip several times in human experience, I don't think you can blame The Flood on this one or it would have happened several times.

THE VERY FACT THAT WE ARE OVERDUE FOR SO MUCH, TELLS ME THAT THE 3600 YEAR CYCLE THING IS WRONG, and there are serious problems in ancient chronology adding up to anywhere from 250 to 500 years wrong in Egypt and parts of ancient Grecian post Mycenae.

Revelation after the four horsemen describes an event exactly like what we can expect, followed by an unspecified length of peace before all hell breaks loose, during this time the Jews convert to Christ before the antichrist and all that.

Asteroid Vesta - a mothership?

2011-09-07T07:41:00.000-07:00

http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/images/4f2_365906459_detail.jpg

looking at this photo, what strikes me most, is those impact points
with white splatter. They remind me of rock or bullet impacts on
resistant glass.

Now obviously Vesta is not glass. But I have long considered, that one way of making a
space base, for longterm occupancy, that might even survive after the occupants left or died,
would be to make it, or cover it with a thick hide made out of, material that would not only
stop all radiation, but would absorb impacts without transferring any or most of the force
to the interior. Such a material would of course pick up pock marks and craters and would
probably resemble some natural surface. It might even have some deep dents over time.

Radiation resistance is the main argument used against the lunar landings by the moon
landing hoax theorists, but it has been stated that what was done, was to take note of the
solar cycles and avoid the high activity times, aside from whatever radiation proofing
could be used (lead was out of the question for weight, mostly, but barium is a radiation
grabber and may have been in use in some materials, and the astronauts reported flashes
in the eyeball, the result of some particle hits going through).

Another argument was the flapping flag, ignoring the statement, and photograph, that
a wire was rigged along the top edge to give this false impression, and the motion
shown as it was positioned stopped after it settled down from the jogging of placing it.

In the case of Phobos, there is a photo that shows a light at the center of the big crater,
which Sagan reported shook up him and a friend, it looked like an opening that had
been open when the photo was taken, then they laughed it off as a reflection or a
photo artifact. But maybe it wasn't. The hollowed out asteroid as space base idea has
been around a long time. Maybe we weren't the first to think of it.

Vesta was on my short list of candidates for being a space base.

The purpose of this trip incl. the future of civilization. That might mean only seeing
how deflectable an asteroid might be, and it might mean seeing if this thing is
inhabited.

Meanwhile, on the surface of Mars, there are features that are clearly trees and mangrove
or banyan colony like places. But there are also features that look uncomfortably like
titanic sprawling life forms of some sort.

classic example of empire conducted by expanding the borders,
and redefining the geography of the country itself. Imperial China

Why the Mainstream Media Are Clueless About the Religious Right

2011-08-21T22:18:00.000-07:00

To read this article, click on the link.
http://www.alternet.org/module/printversion/152053
Now, as you may gather, I am leftist some ways, and
rightist other ways. This is because I actually read The
Bible, not just the excerpts to support an agenda. The
latter is how I was for some years drawn away from God
into a political mindframe, been there, done that, repented
of it.

In the article is this:
"The Pew 2006 survey found that nearly one-third of Americans
said they felt the law of the Bible should outweigh citizen
preferences in the formation of civil law."
http://pewforum.org/Politics-and-Elections/Many-Americans-Uneasy-with-Mix-of-Religion-and-Politics.aspx#2

Now I for one would agree with this, except for one thing.

Just how would these laws be understood by the proposed law
writers? how would they be interpreted and applied?

Given the kind of Biblical exegesis some of the Christian Reconstruction,
and more extreme, and Dominionist heretics, and even Christian Identity
crews make use of, to support things that are barely tolerated and in
some cases prohibited by The Bible, I am not too sure that I want people
who want Bible Law running things in charge.

And I am not sure that they realize, that the person standing next to
them shoulder to shoulder in agreement with them on this, may have a
diametrically opposed idea of what that law and its application should be.

First, you have to distinguish between things that were a special performance
part of the human side of God's covenant with Israel, and those things that
were laws that expressed His righteousness in general.

Within that latter category, you will find some flexibility, something not
understood by Bible lawyers, or by those who exploit these to argue that
there is contradiction within The Bible.

A good example would be prohibition on going up to God's altar by steps,
so that their nakedness under their robes (both sexes wore dresses back
then, the only difference was cut and style), supplanted by the order to
wear breeches which then allowed steps to be used.

In some cases you have a mix of specifics and evidence code thrown
in one piece, in others there are statements that stand alone, absolutes,
and others that are dependent on circumstance, where the goal is stated,
and in that circumstance the goal is furthered best by that law. But in
another context, that goal might not be helped, perhaps even hindered,
so of course, to accomplish that goal, you are going to have to take a
different tack.

When you start with Genesis chapters 2 and 3, and move on, you get
some bigger picture. And certain things that are called abomination,
like eating certain animals, are rescinded in Christ, as per the vision to
Peter, and what Christ taught Paul in the wilderness (see Acts and
Galatians respectively), while other things called abomination, like
human sacrifice of infants and sacrificing to false gods and homosexual
acts (regardless of the role played) and prostitution are clearly still
abomination, as per Paul, and always were abomination, as per Genesis.

it is a bit more complex than opening the state penal code to see what
it has to say on something.

The proposed Jubilee laws some want, which would cancel the remains
of unpaid debts every 50 years, are a good idea as long as understood
as following God's desire for mercy and prevention of debt slavery.
There was a similar law for every 7 years, which is probably the reason
why bankruptcy is generally allowed only once every 7 years. This
was an automatic debt forgiveness and slave release.

Somebody sent me this

2011-08-14T07:08:00.001-07:00

The tribal wisdom of the Lakota Sioux, passed on from generation to generation, says that when you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount.

However, in government, (sounds a bit like BLM's Wild Horse Management) education, and corporate America, more advanced strategies are often employed:

1. Buying a bigger whip.
2. Changing riders.
3. Appointing a committee to study the horse.
4. Arranging to visit other countries to see how other cultures ride dead horses.
5. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included.
6. Reclassifying the dead horse as living-impaired.
7. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.
8. Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed.
9. Providing additional funding and/or training to increase dead horse's performance.
10. Doing a productivity study to see if lighter riders would improve the dead horse's performance.
11. Declaring that as the dead horse does not have to be fed, it is less costly, carries lower overhead and therefore contributes substantially more to the bottom line of the economy than do some other horses.
12. Rewriting the performance requirements for all horses.

And, of course, the most common solution:

13. Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.

A Study in Disinformation notes on Mind Control

2011-08-05T07:44:00.000-07:00

Caveat: I don't doubt some kind of mind control experiments have gone
on, this is shown in the declassified MKULTRA and related documents,
also an interest in the occult, though from another printed source, it
seems that the Office of Naval Intelligence, and I think their British
equivalent, predated everyone in looking into the occult for usefulness.

HOWEVER there are two severe problems in connection with all the
public whistleblower ex members of same.

1. the very fact that they were under the influence of drugs and hypnosis,
and that this usually began as children, means that the details on the
memories are open to dispute, as containing errors, whether of omission
or of fact. And they are dependent on the very people who were messing
with their minds, to know just what the purposes and origins were.

this includes the possibility of being programmed to play whistleblower,
with wrong information, incl. dates and so forth, and to previously
generate a lifestyle or other facts about themselves, that on being checked
on won't prove credible.

the exposure of mind control experimentation began on an official
basis in the 1970s. I think all the victims who came foreward, did so
later. It would make sense, that either in anticipation of such trouble,
or as it began, that people would be set up to be unknowing disinformation
operatives, revealing things that while on overview are true, and contain
some facts even about individuals involved, contain enough b.s. that
the whole thing will be dismissed by the public as nonsense, which by
and large is what has happened.

2. Deliberate disinformation agents. And I think this page I am linking
to is a case of that. for example, it gives the address for some Muslim
Illuminati, which is the address of the Zoroastrian Center in that British
city. Zoroastrians are not muslims, and vice versa. there are other things
in this story that are either anything he could have got off the web, like
the fact that someone named Noonan was a crime family boss in England,
or that someone of his own last name was a WW II ace or something like
that. There is only his word, absent time and money consuming research,
that they are related. Fritz Springmeier's books are a named source, so
there is information he can use already public, whether entirely correct
itself or not is another matter, so the whole story can be put together
without depending on imagination or personal knowledge.

Factored into this, is the claim that the Illuminati are doing this for
our own good, to make warriors to fight the coming alien invasion.
Perhaps some individual handlers have been fed this, perhaps there is
some truth to it, but if so, it is only because these people are seeing
the aliens as rivals to them for power, and not because they give a
damn about us.

It is only a case of one set of hunters fighting another over a herd
of deer they want to eat.

It is my opinion that this page is a case of number 2, though I
suppose the same effect could be done by giving a programmed
person false information to accomplish the same effect. The only
difference is the issue of, is this person knowingly lying and
serving the evil people, or is he in all innocence trying to tell us
things that he thinks are true?

The Zoroastrian Center address being given as the address for
muslim illuminati is in the category of so easy for him to know
is wrong, that I can only conclude that this guy is either a
knowing disinformation agent for the evil people, or that he
never bothered to go to or check on that address himself. I think
the latter is unlikely.

Another problem is his use of the term archaeometry to mean remote
viewing. That is nothing to do with it. Check wikipedia. it is all
the various non paranormal ways, incl. radiometric and many
other ways, of studying and finding archaeological site and
artifacts.

Another problem is his mentioning of the Necronomicon, as
one of the ancient occult books studied by these rogue
government agencies. While I don't doubt this sometimes
happened, the Necronomicon was made up by H. P. Lovecraft
for his horror stories, and the efforts to make one did not
occur until decades after the time Casbolt refers to.

The dates given for the alleged US treaties with the grey
aliens allowing abductions, are wrong. the support of Bill
Deagle makes him ipso facto highly questionable, and he
promotes the NESARA fraud.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NESARA

The Airship Mystery he refers to in 1896, did NOT involve
glowing orbs, but blimp like things with propellers.

the refence to knights and so forth just appeals to a sense
of specialness, the allegation the pleiadeans wouldn't stand
for what goes on underground if they knew, is ridiculous
(assuming they exist) because given all the stuff about it
they must know (assuming they exist), and weren't they
the same ones he claimed earlier gave technology to the
Nazis?

What is probably much more likely the real thing, is the case
of two men who quietly approached clergyman Ray Boeche,
about some military or other intelligence agency they were
working with having gotten into black magic and demon
conjuring to do their work, and these men were upset about
this, but went back to work for these people anyway, which
puzzled Boeche. Nothing more is published about this that
I have seen.

Also, there is a book out about contacts sought by American
forces with the djinn in Arabia. Highly possible.

Also, the assassination of people trying to tell or learn the truth,
if true, is hardly a testimony to the goodness of intention of any
faction of the mind control crew.

basically, I think that if there are two factions, one bunch loyal
to the damn devil, and another not, is that the second bunch
either want to cut their own deal and ace out the first group, and
such witch wars are nothing unusual, or they see any kind of
rule over them as obnoxious, whether of God, or of the devil,
or of the rival group.

But as for the rest of us, it boils down to us are prey, and two
or more tribes of hunters are fighting over us. none of them
have our best interests at heart, and if "the human race" is at
stake, it only means them. they are "the human race" and
everyone else, you and me, are mere food and slaves.

this whole mind control stuff is not unlike the SRA survivors,
who I think fall in the category of number 1.

Both mind control experiments and SRA (satanic ritual abuse)
share this feature: the result is a totally messed up person, as
likely to be an out of control perpetual teen on drugs and unreliable
as hell as anything else.

So read this stuff carefully, and excerpt such as is of use to you.

Kalachakra Ritual Criticized, might be a Trojan Horse psycho spiritually

2011-07-11T18:12:00.000-07:00

The following was emailed to me, so I am posting it so I can point Twitter to it.

Dear reader, dear friends,

Sorry we have just been informed that the links in our E-mail from July 6 concerning the Kalachakra Tantra Ritual in Washington DC are not working. Because the ritual is not yet finished until the July 16 we take the liberty to send you the text again. If there is further a problem, use the word file of the same text in the attachment.

Critical Forum Kalachakra

The Kalachakra Initiation in Washington DC is the biggest most spectacular event Tibetan Buddhism ever has performed in the West. Nearly all high ranked Lamas are present including the young Karmapa, who is built up by the D. L. as his spiritual successor. 100.000 participants are attended. Beside there are meetings with US top politicians. It is a non recurring possibility to bring the whole issue into a broad, open, critical and controversial debate. Catch hold of this chance in face-book, twitter and in readers comment to the press-articles which report about the ritual.

The Kalachakra-Tantra

A Ritual of Peace or a Totalitarian Temptation with highly explosive potentials

From July 6 through 16, 2011 the XIV Dalai Lama will offer a Kalachakra-Tantra-Ritual in the heart of the U.S. capital, Washington, DC. In Sanskrit, Kalachakra means “The Wheel of Time.” The Kalachakra Tantra, as well the sacred text used in its ritualistic performance, is considered to be “the pinnacle of all Buddhist systems.” Included in the Kalchakra Tantra are: the construction of a so-called Sand Mandala, which symbolizes the cosmos, an apocalyptic prophecy known as the Shambhala Myth, and several top-secret initiations.

This complicated mystical ritual is presented by the Dalai Lama and the organizers of the event as a dignified and uplifting contribution to world peace, which fosters compassion with all living beings, inter-religious dialog, interracial tolerance, ecological awareness, sexual equality, inner peace, spiritual development, and bliss for the third millennium (Kalachakra for World Peace). One of the Dalai Lama’s mottos for the whole performance is: “Because we all share this small planet earth, we have to learn to live in harmony and peace with each other and with nature.”

But are the Kalachakra Tantra and the Shambhala Myth truly pacifist? Do they really encourage harmony and cooperation among people? Do they make any real contribution to freedom and justice, equality of gender, religious tolerance or ethnic reconciliation? Are they a comprehensive, politically humanist, democratic and non-violent contribution to world peace?

Andrei Znamenski, Associate Professor of History at Alabama State University and author of an exciting book about the Shambhala Myth in Bolshevist Russia (Red_Shambhala – Magic, Prophecy, and Geopolitics in the Heart of Asia) came to another conclusion: “It might be shocking for many readers, but let me start by saying that the Kalachakra Tantra has nothing to do with peace, compassions, and freedom. In Tantric Buddhism it was a misogynistic quest performed by male initiates to accumulate sacred power of particular Buddhist deities (the lower seven initiations are open for all) and, through blending male and female fluids (top secret initiations that involved sexuality), to eventually turn themselves into superhuman androgynous beings. Moreover, part of the Kalachakra teaching was a militant Shambhala prophecy, a call for a Buddhist holy war against enemies of Buddhism.”

Andrei Znamenski is not alone in this assessment. The Kalachakra Tantra and Tibetan Buddhism are coming more and more into focus by critics. (See: Critical Links to Lamaism) In their groundbreaking work The Shadow of the Dalai Lama – Sexuality, Magic and Politics in Tibetan Buddhism, German cultural philosophers, Victor and Victoria Trimondi, not only provide surprising, previously ignored research but also undertake a well-founded interpretation of Lamaism, rendering the Tibetan-Buddhist worldview understandable for Western readers through a comparison with European religious traditions. The text pays particular attention to an extensive analysis of the Kalachakra Tantra and its political, ideological, and spiritual implications. (The book appeared in 1999 through the reputable German publishing house Patmos Verlag. The English version is online. It became the standard work on the critical examination of Lamaism and the metapolitics of the Dalai Lama. In the eighties Victor Trimondi did support the Tibetan religious leader, organized several international congresses and other events with him and featured books about him in his own publishing house, the Dianus-Trikont-Verlag.)

In their book the two authors describe en detail the secret rituals of sexual magic in the higher initiations of the Kalachakra Tantra (The Public and the Secret Initiations); they have shown the religious-political intention of the Tantra to establish a world-wide Buddhocracy with a sacred world-ruler (The ADI Buddha); they discuss the intolerance of the Tantra vis-à-vis the monotheist religions, its militant and aggressive warrior-ideology, and its vision of a religious end-time battle against Islam (The Aggressive Myth of Shambhala); and they show how the Tantra is interpreted by the Dalai Lama spokesman Robert Thurman as a symbolic and meta-political instrument to conquer western culture by Lamaism (The Buddhocratic Conquest of the West ).

The Trimondis came to very similar conclusions as their American colleague Andrei Znamenski and other critical authors on the topic: “The teachings of the Buddha have so many treasures and wonderful insights, but the philosophy, the vision and the practices of the Kalachakra Tantra are neither compatible with fundamentals of Buddha’s teachings nor with basic principles of Western Enlightenment. Therein are included an apocalyptic war of religion, the aggressive application of super-weapons, radical transgressions of a humanistic moral code, the dissolution of the ego and the soul of the participants of the ritual, the totalitarian subjugation under the will of the guru, the idea of an imperial and global lama-state (Buddhocracy), and the concept of an absolutist world ruler, the Chakravartin. The sexual rites in the higher initiations of this occult ritual have to be designated as a manipulation of erotic love and a misuse of female energy to produce spiritual and worldly power of men and monks. So the equality of the sexes, democratic decision making, and ecumenical movements are in themselves foreign to the nature of the Kalachakra Tantra.” The two German cultural philosophers created the Critical Forum Kalachakra to open a wide-ranging debate over the hidden “dark sides” of the Tantra, and they published many other articles, including a pamphlet, Eight Questions to the 14th Dalai Lama on the Topic of the Kalachakra.

During the public Kalachakra Initiation in Graz/Austria directed by the Dalai Lama (2002), the German-speaking media picked up these critiques from the Trimondis and other authors to discuss the controversial ritual. The Austrian state TV & Radio ORF broadcasted a feature called, “Critique of the ‘Peace Ritual’ of the Dalai Lama in Graz.” ‘Peace Ritual’ has been written in quotations marks to emphasize the ambivalence of the term in this context. Der Standard (The “New York Times” of Vienna) published a cover article with the title, “A Warrior Ritual of the Dalai Lama: The Kalachakra,” and the conservative German Weekly Der Rheinische Merkur wrote: “Extremely wild warriors: what is hidden behind the Kalachakra – Thousands have attended the peace ritual of the Dalai Lama. But the ‘Religion of Happiness’ has also its dark sides.” Georg Schmid, Prof. for Religious Studies at the University Zürich (Switzerland) called attention to the fact that the Kalachakra Tantra was the product of the religious war between Buddhists and militant Moslems in

India

around the turn of the first millennium. It was under this influence that the Tantra changed fundamental Buddhist principles. “In this time,” said Professor Schmid, “Buddhism had adopted the law of its enemies and had developed a Buddhist concept of a holy war, a forthcoming apocalyptic conflict between friend and foe of the Buddha-way and a future Buddhist world dominium.” Alexander Berzin, a designated Kalachakra expert of the Dalai Lama, also confirms that the Tantra proclaims a holy war: “A careful examination of the Buddhist texts, particularly The Kalachakra Tantra literature, reveals both external and internal levels of battle that could easily be called ‘holy wars.’ An unbiased study of Islam reveals the same. In both religions, leaders may exploit the external dimensions of holy war for political, economic, or personal gain by using it to rouse their troops to battle. Historical examples regarding Islam are well known; but one must not be rosy-eyed about Buddhism.”

In the meantime, dozens of books, articles, and discussion groups in German and French have carried forward these criticisms and have expanded them--without sparing the person of the Dalai Lama. A lot of the critical voices came also from the Buddhist camp. See, for example, comments to an article about the Kalachakra Initiation 2011 in the Huffington Post. The latest high point of this critical wave in Germany was a cover story in

Germany

's biggest magazine “Stern” (2009): The two faces of the Dalai Lama – The soft Tibetan and his undemocratic Regime (trans. in English). This article was written by Tilman Müller, the same journalist who uncovered ten years before--with his Austrian colleague Gerald Lehner--the Nazi past of the Dalai Lama's teacher, Heinrich Harrer: Dalai Lama’s friend: Hitlers Champion (trans. in English). Their sensational discovery caused a protest movement in the Jewish community against the film adaptation of Harrer’s autobiographical book Seven Years in Tibet, with Brad Pitt as Harrer.

Very accurately the historian Andrei Znamenskis calls the Kalachakra Tantra “a totalitarian temptation.” In his book Red_Shambhala he recounts the story of political and spiritual seekers from West and East who used the Tibetan Buddhist prophecies of the Kalachakra Tantra (the Shambhala Myth) to promote their spiritual, social, and geopolitical agendas and schemes. Red_Shambhala proves that people in the Left were no strangers to the occult, and they were equally mesmerized by the Tantra. But even more mesmerized have been people of the far Right. In their second book, Hitler-Buddha-Krishna – An unholy alliance from the Third Reich to the present day (2002) which received international attention, Victor and Victoria Trimondi show how influential Fascists and Nazis used the philosophies, mythologies, visions, and dogmas as well as the religious practices and texts of the spiritual traditions of Asia for glorifying war, and for the deification of the “Führer” and the white race. Some of them have been electrified by the Kalachakra Tantra and the Shambhala-Myth. The Trimondis uncover how the Nazi-Orientalists who prepared the SS Tibet Expedition of Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler have been interested in the ritual, and how members of the SS Ahnenerbe (the brain trust of the SS) wanted to spare the Kalachakra Temple in Leningrad (St. Petersburg) during the siege and barrage of the city by the Deutsche Wehrmacht (1941 – 1944). The Shambhala Myth of the Kalachakra Tantra and its militant ideologies are a topic in the occult literature of the international Neo-Fascist and Neo-Nazi scene. One example is Miguel Serrano, the recently deceased leader of the Chilean National Socialists. Another is Ernesto Mila, former chief of the Spanish National-Socialists, who writes about the Kalachakra-Ritual in his article, The envoys of Hitler in Tibet: “The Kalachakra Tantra and its initiation is not a normal ritual. . . . It is the ‘supreme initiation,’ that ‘assured the renaissance in Shambhala’ at the moment of the last battle against the powers of evil. . . . It is the initiation which is appropriate for the warrior caste.”

Another example is the accredited expert on the Orient (and Hitler admirer) Jean Marquès-Rivière who after WW II was convicted in absentia and given the death sentence for turning Jews and Free Masons over to the Gestapo and SS in France. He was the author of a Kalachakra interpretation once popular with some fascist elements. He wrote in his book that the Dalai Lama personally gave a ring to him with the Kalachakra Emblem to demonstrate that he is part of the inner circle of Shambhala adepts. (Kalachakra: Initiation Tantrique du Dalai Lama)

Last but not least, the Japanese Doomsday Guru, Shoko Asahara must be mentioned. He intended a Shambalization of our planet by means of nuclear terror. Asahara was responsible for poisonous gas attacks on Tokyo's metro in 1995, killing 12 and leaving hundreds injured. The terrorist sect's leader met the Dalai Lama on several occasions. Even weeks after the first assault, the Dalai Lama called him a “friend, yet not a perfect one.” Only later did the Dalai Lama distance himself from the sect leader. (The Doomsday Guru Shoko Asahara and XIV Dalai Lama)

So the “totalitarian temptation” which streams out from the Kalachakra Tantra for all sorts of political and religious fanatics makes it absolutely necessary that the text, commentaries, and the ritual itself are discussed and disputed openly and honestly, especially at this time when the ritual is performed in a place where the power of the world is concentrated: Washington DC. The organizers are very conscious of this political acupuncture point when they write, “The Kalachakra for World Peace 2011 will unfold in a world capital where local actions deeply and globally affect the lives of so many.” A statement from the Capital Area Tibetan Association, which is putting on the event, also stressed the significance of having it in Washington: “If there is a seed of spirituality in this very city, that seed when it grows is bound to have an effect.” The ritual is to be carried out in the Verizon Center approximately mid-way between the White House and the US Capitol Buildings, just a short stroll from the National Mall.

A Washington Post article states, “Many still see huge significance in his [the Dalai Lama's] picking the capital of the world’s superpower as the place for a ritual about how to reconcile disunity. Some believe the Kalachakra’s hopeful explanation about how to deal with differences literally will spread through meditators to area bigwigs coping with national debt, wars, environmental disasters and terrorism.” The article cites Clark Strand, former editor of Tricycle, a Buddhist magazine: “The most significant thing about this is the time and place, 10 years after 9/11, and in a place where big decisions are being made about the planet.”

Yes,10 years after 9/11! But what did happen exactly ten years before 9/11? In 1991 in New York City a so-called Kalachakra Sand Mandala was constructed, then destroyed by the Dalai Lama, and the sand was poured into the water near the World Trade Center. Two years later in 1993 another Wheel of Time (Kalachakra) Sand Mandala was built by Tibetan Monks in the lobby of Tower One. For over thirty days, many of the World Trade Center workers and visitors were invited to participate during the construction of this Mandala. Although these coincidences may be accidental, they prove that these two Kalachakra events were not a remedy for “national debt, wars, environmental disasters and terrorism.” If they did have any magical effect at all, it was to produce exactly the opposite.
