Christ in Egypt: The Horus-Jesus Connection

Book Review by Joan d’Arc

Christ in Egypt: The Horus-Jesus Connection, by D. M. Murdock www.TruthBeKnown.com and www.StellarHousePublishing.com

The boat of Afu-Ra glides silently in the black eternal waters of the Amduat. In front the goddess Isis, her arms outstretched in cruciform (as a cross), conducts her son, the Sun God Horus, with his 12 dead assistants — the major stars of the night sky — to new life in the daily rebirth of the morning sun. This is the powerful imagery conjured by D. M. Murdock (aka Acharya S.) in her new book, Christ in Egypt: The Horus-Jesus Connection.

Where does the sun go when it goes down under the world? The Egyptians had it all figured out in books like The Pyramid Texts and The Book of the Dead. The Book of Portals recounts the sun’s passage at night through the 12 gates, which are also the night hours. The Sun Boat of the Creator, the one who “crosses over” the heavens each day for 12 hours, also passes through the underworld each night for 12 hours, accompanied by his 12 assistants or helpers. According to Murdock, this is the derivation of the 12 disciples of the Christ mythos.

Murdock contends that the Gnostics of Alexandria, in fact, created the imagery of Jesus on the cross, derived from the Egyptian god Horus. The task of the Gnostic Horos was to separate the upper from the lower, the saved from the fallen, the light from the dark. This task was accomplished by the Sun God Horus and his 12 assistants, the Egyptian Ennead.

The 12 are sometimes companions of the Father, Osiris, and at other times Horus is one of the 12 in the presence of the Father. This is mindful of Jesus being God and not God, both the Sun and the Son (a quandary the nuns could never quite answer to my liking). The 12 assistants are simply the signs of the zodiac, which Murdock tells us were alive and well in Egypt, being derived from the symbols for the Egyptian months, as follows:

1. The ram-headed Amun with the constellation of Aries
2. Osiris the “Bull of Eternity,” with the sign of Taurus
3. The Twin god of Set-Horus with Gemini
4. The beetleheaded Kheper-Ptah with the sign of the Beetle, which was later the Crab of Cancer
5. The lion-faced Atum with the sign of Leo
6. The Virgin Neith with the constellation of Virgo
7. “Har-Makhu of the Scales” equivalent to the sign of Libra
8. Isis-Serqet, the scorpion goddess, with the sign of Scorpio
9. Shu and Tefnut “figured as the Archer” with the sign of Sagittarius
10. Khnum, the goat-headed, with the sign of Capricorn
11. Menat/Hathor, the “divine wetnurse,” with the sign of Aquarius
12. Horus of the two crocodiles with the sign of Pisces

As Murdock explains, Christianity was created by Gnostics in Alexandria and then the Christians later came back and burned it all down, sacked the city, killed thousands of people, and covered up the tracks of its creation. The tale of Jesus and Satan is the same astrotheological epic drama told in Egypt. For instance, Set is the serpent, the “Prince of Darkness,” and all things “Satan.” Horus is the “Prince of Light,” the KRST, or the Christ (meaning “anointed one”).

Interestingly as well, the story of Lazarus in the Gospel of John was taken directly from sources like the Pyramid Texts and the Egyptian Book of the Dead. Horus was known as the anointed one, the “standing mummy” symbol of Egyptian hieroglyphs: the mummy come back to life. The Egyptian religion was all about being prepared for death and rebirth, as is the Christian religion today, only today prepping doesn’t involve the oil and rags of mummification.

Murdock proves with historical sources that Jesus was not born of the Virgin Mary in Bethlehem, but was born of the Virgin Isis in Egyptian mythology. Some of the correspondences she makes between Jesus and Horus are as follows:

· Horus was born on "December 25th" (winter solstice) in a manger.
· He was of royal descent, and his mother was the "virgin Isis-Mery."
· Horus's birth was announced by a star in the East and attended by three "wise men."
· At age 12, he was a child teacher in the Temple, and at 30, he was baptized.
· Horus was baptized by "Anup the Baptizer," who was decapitated.
· The Egyptian god had 12 companions, helpers or disciples.
· Horus performed miracles, exorcised demons and raised Osiris from the dead.
· The god walked on water.
· Horus was "crucified" between two "thieves."
· He (or Osiris) was buried for three days in a tomb and resurrected.
· Horus/Osiris was also the "Way, the Truth, the Life," "Messiah," the "Son of Man," the "Good Shepherd," the "Lamb of God," the "Word made flesh," the "Word of Truth," etc.
· Horus's personal epithet was "Iusa," the "ever-becoming son" of the Father. He was called "Holy Child," as well as "the Anointed One," while Osiris was the KRST.
· Horus battled with the "evil one," Set/Seth.
· Horus was to reign for one thousand years.

I have always been wowed by Ms. Murdock’s work, but this time she has outdone herself and has created a 574 page masterpiece that I’m sure will become a classic in religious studies. But even better, Acharya S. makes it really exciting to be an atheist. I would say she’s the goddess of the godless. I’m ever thankful she’s got my back.

Stories of the Plague (Pt.2)

Part Two – Stories of the Plague

The stories emerging from Mexico begin to resemble the plot of Resident Evil or 28 Days. Reports are being posted to the Internet from Mexico City’s Miguel Hidalgo District claiming that there have been “many deaths” from the virus – mainly drug users with compromised immune systems – in some of the large housing projects. Other bewildered citizens now wonder why the government has not published the names of the deceased, or photos of the bereaved, leading them to suspect the government is involved in some sort of deceptive activity aimed at hiding both the magnitude of the situation and its own incompetence.

It would appear, according to information received, that even the city’s posh Lomas de Chapultepec area is feeling the contagion’s effects. This business district, normally a hive of activity, has fallen silent as employers have ordered workers to perform their duties by phone and remain in touch with their superiors for an eventual return to their cubicles.

Social injustice has displayed itself in its full array of ugliness: Tamiflu and other antibiotics are completely unavailable in the public health system, but those have the five hundred odd Pesos in their pockets can apparently purchase a Tamiflu injection from private hospitals, causing some to ask where the private health care system obtained the medication. Are corrupt elements in the Secretariat of Health selling antibiotics to the private hospitals?

But the virus has not limited itself to the great Aztec capital. The state of Guanajuato is now reporting outbreaks in its main cities. Hundreds can be seen in the city of Irapuato walking around with their mouths covered. Six outbreaks have been reported in San Luis Colorado (Sonora) and residents of the state of Nuevo Leon are making no secret of their displeasure at being unable to find antivirals or surgical masks anywhere.

Early reports suggest that the focus of the H1N1 outbreak is a farm known as “Granjas Caroll” in La Gloria, Municipality of Perote, in Veracruz. Five hundred out of a total population of 3000 have been affected by the flu since March 20th of this year. Granjas Carroll (owned by Smithfield Foods) produces over a million pigs a year, which results in an overwhelming number of flies in the region, and the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social declared at this point that these flies had been the original “biological vector” for the virus. This information as featured in one of the state’s major newspapers, and people are beginning to wonder why no deaths appear to be occuring in cases outside Mexico.

A detail that is perhaps more alarming – if possible – than the widespread confusion is the claim that unknown aircraft have been seen spraying substances over the city. This situation, reminiscent of the “chemtrails” on our side of the border.

Conspiracy Theories

Interestingly enough, the Latin American press is beginning to stress the “chemical warfare” nature of the H1N1 virus (the same strain that occurred during 1918’s Spanish Influenza).A Nicaraguan radio station – “La Primerisima” (The Foremost) – has suggested the possibility of complicity by Gilead Laboratories, which created Tamiflu. The Nicaraguan station suggests that the swine flu outbreak “probably crafted in U.S. military laboratories” has swept all discussions of CIA torture memos and other affairs from the table. It cites the work of journalist Fernando Velázquez, who argues that the CIA unleashed a strain of African swine flu in Cuba in 1971, forcing the Castro government to slaughter half a million pigs. This journalist apparently blames the dengue fever epidemic of the early ‘80s on a similar deliberate action, resulting in well over a quarter million deaths.

A report from “AZTEK”

We had a chance to interview another source in Mexico – who goes by the name AZTEK --ask a few questions about how the situation is being experienced "on the ground":

Aztek, are people seriously beginning to discuss the swine flu virus as an artificial phenomenon?

Yes indeed, given the combination of three different components -- the bird, swine and human flu elements, which would hardly occur in nature.

Do you think the situation will lead to mass panic?

This is likely. It can be seen as part of a cleverly orchestrated plan to control populations in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico and above all, reduce world population to a controllable, more readily manageable level. It's part of a plan leading to a military takeover in all three countries as a result of the emergency, repealing individual rights and national assemblies. The result: swift integration of the North American Union with the Amero as its currency.

If we are truly dealing with an artificial virus, who benefits?

It's a lab-created virus, according to my sources. Who benefits? The New World Order, the Illuminati, and even [reptilian non-humans]. The world stage is being set for an invasion.

Is the Mexican government showing signs of losing its grip on the situation?

It would appear so, but no one is saying that information is being controlled.

How will it all end?

It won't end. This is only the start of a well-orchestrated plan. This is only the first stage of the plan.

Stories of the Plague: An On-Site Report

Stories of the Plague: An On-Site Report

Mexican researcher Marco Reynoso is tracking developments in the H1N1 virus’s spread throughout his country, and providing us with disturbing – if not outright alarming – information about what is going on in the streets of major cities south of the border. He quotes an e-mail from an anonymous resident of the state of Michoacan that reads thus: “I live in Michoacan. To date, 3 cases have been confirmed in this state. However, we have had people dying of similar symptoms and in fact, one of them was incinerated only a few hours after dying. Why isn’t the truth being told? I understand that caution must prevail in political and economic matters, yet it has also been said that this is the same virus that killed nearly 100 million people in 1918.”

Reynoso indicates that the state of Sinaloa (on the Gulf of Cortez) reported five suspicious cases that were promptly denied by officialdom. People are debating whether to believe the rumors or the official disclaimers, although some individuals are mistaking symptoms such as slight fevers as proof of contagion with H1N1. Things are altogether different in the city of Puebla, with confirmed cases of H1N1. People are going about their business, mouths uncovered; parents are taking their children to playgrounds and eateries. Puebla’s bus station handles twenty thousand users who commute into Mexico City, where the situation is slowly spiraling out of control. Reynoso notes that the news media is bombarding the population with so much information that people are beginning to panic. Covering one’s mouth is essential before entering commercial premises: the streets may be empty, but supermarkets are crammed with people purchasing supplies against what they see as the eventual collapse of society.

“Mexico City,” he writes, “is nearly desolate.”

The plague – or fear of the plague – keeps cars off the street, pedestrians away from their normal routine, and children away from schools. No one knows who’s infected and who isn’t. Mistrust of official sources of information has caused the citizenry to seek counsel from sources that feed off gossip and rumours. “The weaknesses and shortcomings of the Mexican health system have been laid bare along with its epidemiological alert system. Atypical pneumonia cases first began to emerge in the month of March, with deaths among the infected victims, but these were not analyzed until the USA and Canada became aware of that the virus had mutated.”

We would like to thank Mr. Reynoso for this information and will continue posting updates as they become available.

Swine Flu Pandemic, NEPTUNE-CHIRON-JUPITER

Swine Flu Pandemic ...
NEPTUNE-CHIRON-JUPITER conjunction in Aquarius

By Francis Donald Grabau

Hi folks,

Time for another positive, happy, fun-filled chat with Uncle Donald! Here's my personal contribution to the Swine Flu hysteria being carefully instigated by whom? For what reasons? Cui bono? I'm not sending you this because I think you'll like it or like me for sending it but because it's important and real. No, I do not subscribe to the simulated FRENZY with which this crap is being hyped, nor am I personall suffering from a "negative" state of mind, nor am I trying to stir in any of you either frenzy or negativity. Take a Rorschach test, look into your tea leaves, consult the ink blots in the skies!

I consider this a calmly urgent and cosmically humorous chat over coffe and a buttered, honeyed bagel.....

Below you see the transits for Washington DC for May 27th 2009 coming right up. The triple conjunction of Neptune with Chiron and Jupiter may be the triggering device for bioterror events -specifically government originated and executed pandemics. The current deliberately hyped scare over Swine Flu may climax in a few weeks time into a sad example of what I've been repeatedly writing about as a possibility in various articles on my website.

It is a physical/physiological expression of what I've been calling in recent articles the Obama-Neptune Trance state of media engineered consciousness in the USA and globally. (http://starpathvisions.com/Obama-Neptune%20Trance%20Formation.html)
It's CONTAGION, a favorite theme of the forces embodied in the planet Neptune which forces may also be used to camouflage or deceive, and it's my opinion (though certainly not only my personal opinion) that the Swine Flu is a clearly designed biowarfare weapon of the kind I've been "seeing" might be deliberately released upon Americans who, may I remind you, are currently living in an America under a Pisces Sun ruled by Neptune. That indicates, as I keep emphasizing, that we are entering into a stage of "karmic payback" (I don't subscribe to 'karma' either and I dislike the word 'payback') as well as a collective state of mind inclined to be escapist, spaced-out, and avoidance oriented. It's Pisces, kids, the sign of self-victimization achieved by following escapism and trance as a way of life.

(If you think this kind of thought is "conspiracy theory" please investigate for yourself ...I've given links with which to begin your search below. And for further understanding of what it means that the USA is now a Pisces Nation go here: http://starpathvisions.com/Spellbound.html )

Funny phrase that, "search below" ...it points to healthy introspection, self-examination... an increasingly rare tactical skill among brainwashed Americans. We suffer from an inability together with a flat-out refusal to face up to our collective guilt as a People willingly under the control of the Empire called America which is a literally CRIMINAL STATE. We support this Empire's crimes by burying our head in the sand and escaping into our EXCLUSIVELY personal lives because we don't want to identify with American Crimes and we don't want to be "negative". DUH!!!!

The notion of "guilt" has become so anathema to Americans that one wonders not at all why Obama, for instance, avoids the much needed prosecution and trial of our National War Criminals such as X-President Bush, X-Vice President Cheney, Alberto Gonzales etc. using that all pervasive NEGATIVE NEPTUNE AVOIDANCE called ...let's look ahead, move on, we have "important" things to do ... none of this namby-pamby "looking backwards" stuff! Congress, the President and all the major Corporate Media in America tout this line of thinking ... be "dynamic" look ahead "positively" to the future ... "NO BLAME" ...we don't play the "Blame Game". Well, I'm sorry, despite all my ranting against the psychological sickness of Christian Guilt as a control tactic central to Capitalism's survival I think it's more than obvious that there is such a thing as healthy and legitimate GUILT and we as Americans stand GUILTY before the whole of Nature, Humanity, and the Earth herself for leading the way into the Nuclear Age of trashing humanity and all life on this planet since the close of WWII ...we were NOT the "Saviours" of "Western Civilization" during that war and we have done nothing but kill, poison, steal, and rape other countries, other human beings and all of Nature since that time. Now that is something to sink our legitimately GUILTY TEETH into because it's real, it's FACT and it ain't gonna go away anytime soon no matter how deeply we bury our heads in the sand.

What sand? (I read a scientific study recently pointing out that the apparently beautiful sands of 'paradise' tropical islands all over the South Pacific are actually riddled with nano-particles of non-biodegradable PLASTIC among other things -the South Pacific of Rogers & Hammerstein fame is where we detonated so many of our Super Hydrogen Bombs! Some Enchanted Evening!!!)

Seriously, I've placed a lot of links here which, if you follow them, will help to flesh out what I'm saying. And whether this round of what's being called the "Swine Flu" turns out to be the almost inevitable PANDEMIC of US INSTIGATED BIO-WARFARE (or another round comes later) we are in great danger of precisely this kind of attack and must come to grips with that. Wishing it were not so or that it will "go away" if we don't think about it is negative Neptune-Pisces evasion. One must ask oneself WHY the UN, World Health Organization, and Euro-American Governments keep hyping these FLU WARNINGS and Terrorist Warnings ... just what bio-engineered viruses they INTEND to vaccinate the general public with. WHY they keep trying to induce MASS FEAR and PSYCHOSIS in the Public Sector ... all this is spearheaded by the United States currently undergoing a massive NEPTUNE delusional psychosis.

These currently transiting planets (Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune) may be the trigger used to implement increasingly more alarming warnings and even, finally, actual execution of enforced vaccination of the People with deathly vaccines because they are ALL conjunct the Natal USA Moon, and Jupiter is EXPANDING the Chiron wounded-healer issue in the Aquarian Air sign of GLOBAL COMMUNITY along with Neptunian contagion-oneness on that USA MOON. So, do yourself a favor and take a look.

Neptune is very slow moving, today it rests at 26 degrees and 14 minutes of Aquarius whereas the Natal USA MOON of the Masses as the People is found at 27 degrees and 13 minutes of Aquarius. Neptune has, in other words, entered within one degree of conjunction/union with the USA MOON meaning our Neptune evasiveness is IN OUR FACE as INDIVIDUALS within a Nation and collectively as a People of this Nation. We have, as a People, a very worrisome and wrong-headed relationship with NEPTUNE in Virgo at our Nation's founding because it is SQUARE to our Natal MARS in Gemini and if that square says anything at all it says that we actively, aggresively pursue NEGATIVE NEPTUNE EVASIVENESS in our 9th house moral/ethical actions. We are most adept at MASKING our real MOTIVES from ourselves. NO MORE can this game continue since transiting NEPTUNE with a roughly 164 year cycle of movement through the zodiacal signs is gathering us ALL up in it's MISTY CLOUD while PLUTO with an even longer cycle of 245 years is returning to its position at America's birth and currently OPPOSING our Natal VENUS. Do you get this?

Look, NEPTUNE is the "higher octave" of VENUS. While VENUS is PERSONAL one-on-one love/money/beauty/harmony our truly spiritual and highly imaginative friend NEPTUNE is TRANSPERSONAL (as its higher octave) and demands INCLUSION OF ALL ... ALL love/money/beauty/harmony. So, while it's always essential for each of us to know that love begins at home, that we must try to look after our own money situation etc. NEPTUNE demands -it doesn't politely ask -it DEMANDS that we understand we are (each one of us) part of the ALL and must look at the bigger, collective picture. COLLECTIVE issues are upon us ... we must think in GROUP/SPECIES terms now ... it takes precedence over our personal issues. Tent City America. Widespread and rapidly growing Homelessness.

Exact dates of NEPTUNE conjuncting USA NATAL MOON: 1) March 15, 2010; 2) August 23, 2010; 3) January 16, 2011. Look at these dates not as appointment times on a clock but as symbolical moments spread over a two year period of time beginning NOW.

"The Shadow Government of America pursues its ruinous goals not just by employing the obvious weapons of war associated with Mars, but also by using the contorted sexual energy (think Abu Ghraib) which characteristically arises from it when its direct action is repressed, blocked, or psychologically denied. Under such circumstances the frustrated thrust and drive of Mars easily turns "kinky". Our National Retrograde Mars energy in natally stressful square aspect to dispersive NEPTUNE becomes especially susceptible to use in acts of biological warfare because under such conditions its actions incline to the infectious, -to the vague, cloudy, unseen and dispersive realm of Neptune. Release of toxins in chemtrails, release of viruses or radiation across the countryside or in heavily populated American cities fits very neatly into the picture of MARS square NEPTUNE. Aggression as nebulous dispersive contagion. The Federal Reserve's paper money is actually filthy lucre crawling with diseased bacteria and laced with traces of the shadow government's favored drug: cocaine.

Swine Flu is bioengineered

According to this video, Swine Flu is bioengineered, contained live virus and was sprayed. This video has four parts. The “Snooze Media” is not covering this story, obviously.

Ah, and the plot thickens...

Who Owns the rights on Tamiflu?

by Joseph Mercola

www.mercola.com

Avian FluFinally, the pieces of the puzzle start to add up. Not long ago, President Bush sought to instill panic in this country by telling us a minimum of 200,000 people will die from the avian flu pandemic, but it could be as bad as 2 million deaths in this country alone.

This hoax is then used to justify the immediate purchase of 80 million doses of Tamiflu, a worthless drug that in no way shape or form treats the avian flu, but only decreases the amount of days one is sick and can actually contribute to the virus having more lethal mutations.

So the U.S. placed an order for 20 million doses of this worthless drug at a price of $100 per dose. That comes to a staggering $2 billion.

We are being told that Roche manufactures Tamiflu and, in a recent New York Times article, they were battling whether or not they would allow generic drug companies to help increase their production.

But if you dig further you will find that a drug was actually developed by a company called Gilead that 10 years ago gave Roche the exclusive rights to market and sell Tamiflu.

Ahh, The Plot Thickens...

If you read the link below from Gilead, you'll discover Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was made the chairman of Gilead in 1997.

Since Rumsfeld holds major portions of stock in Gilead, he will handsomely profit from the scare tactics of the government that is being used to justify the purchase of $2 billion of Tamiflu.

Plan Would Deploy Guard Near Mexico

Yes, Ned, You are right. I agree that the new swine flu is part of the overall plan to send American troops to the “border” (which will eventually dissolve) and eventually into Mexico.

If drugs were legal, there would be no “drug-related violence.” Where is the War on the Booze Industry? The War on the Pharmaceutical Industry? Where is the War on Poverty? The War on Wall Street rich pigs? The War on Racism? The War on Child Abuse? The War on Starving? The War on Illegal Wars? The War on Crusty Egyptian-based Christianity that's the root cause of War? The War on Hypocrisy?

Watch the best anti-drug war documentary I’ve ever seen: American Drug War.



Ending drug prohibition and focusing on addiction as a sickness, like alcohol and prescription drugs, could save the U.S. economy and millions of lives. Please pass this video on to as many people as you can. We need your help to end the Drug War.

Plan Would Deploy Guard Near Mexico

$350 million effort aimed at drug war.


The Pentagon and Homeland Security Department are developing contingency plans to send National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexican border under a $350 million initiative that would expand the U.S. military's role in the drug war, according to Obama administration officials.

The circumstances under which the troops could be deployed have not been determined, the officials said. They said the proposal was designed to give President Obama additional flexibility to respond to drug-related violence that has threatened to spill into the United States from Mexico and to curb southbound smuggling of cash and weapons.

The initiative, which was tucked into the supplemental budget request sent to Congress this month, has raised concerns over what some U.S. officials perceive as an effort by the Pentagon to increase its counternarcotics profile through a large pot of money that comes with few visible requirements.

The broadly worded proposal does not mention troop deployments, stipulating only that the military is to receive up to $350 million "for counter-narcotics and other activities ... on the United States' border with Mexico." If the contingency plans go unused, the money would be retained for military operations and maintenance after September 2010, an administration official said.

The proposal is being closely monitored by the State Department, which administers the $1.4 billion Merida Initiative, a three-year aid package to fight drug trafficking in Mexico and Central America. The new funding would be nearly as much as the 2009 budget for Merida, and some observers said they fear that the military could use the money to set up a parallel counternarcotics program with little oversight.

"The real question is what happens if this morphs into something else," said a U.S. official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. House and Senate committees began receiving briefings from White House budget staff this past week. Some lawmakers and aides said they were unaware that the funds would be allocated to deploy troops.

"Frankly, I'm baffled that an additional $350 million has been requested under the defense appropriation," Rep. Nita M. Lowey (D-N.Y.), a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee, said Thursday.

Disease Control Central!

What have we been seeing in the news about Mexico in the past month? Drug gangs, Santa Muerte, and border anxiety, right? Think about these four words... Center For Disease Control. Think control BY MEANS of disease! This 'pandemic' shifts the blame for All That Is Wrong back to those pork-raisin' Mexicans!! War by Other Means.

New Swine Flu feared to be a weaponized strain

New swine flu feared to be weaponized strain
By Wayne Madsen

Apr 27, 2009

According to two mainstream media journalists, one in Mexico City and the other in Jakarta, who spoke to WMR on background, they are convinced that the current outbreak of a new strain of swine flu in Mexico and some parts of the United States is the result of the introduction of a human-engineered pathogen that could result in a widespread global pandemic, with potentially catastrophic consequences for domestic and international travel and commerce.

The journalists have been told by top officials of the United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO) about the grave dangers posed by the new and deadly swine flu strain, known as A-H1N1. This flu, never before seen by scientists, has already killed up to 68 people in Mexico and has forced the cancellation of public events, including sports matches and concerts, and the closure of schools, libraries, and museums. Eight cases have been reported in Texas and California. Doctors are examining several students at a Queens high school in New York who displayed symptoms similar to those experienced by swine flu patients in Mexico.

Our Mexico City source said a top scientist for the United Nations, who has examined the outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus in Africa, as well as HIV/AIDS victims, concluded that H1N1 possesses certain transmission “vectors” that suggest that the new flu strain has been genetically-manufactured as a military biological warfare weapon. The UN expert believes that Ebola, HIV/AIDS, and the current A-H1N1 swine flu virus are biological warfare agents.

Past swine flu outbreaks have been spread from pigs to humans, who then passed the flu on to other humans. However, with A-H1N1, there have been no reported infections of pigs. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), A-H1N1 has gene segments from North American swine, bird and human flu strains and a segment from Eurasian swine flu. Costa Rica, Brazil, and Peru have issued alerts to check all incoming passengers from Mexico at border crossings, airports, and seaports for symptoms of the swine flu.

WHO is convening an emergency session of its top medical experts in Geneva and is set to declare H1N1 a “public health event of international concern.” It is reported that WHO will recommend travel restrictions to and from areas where the flu has been reported, including Mexico City and the states of Mexico, Hidalgo, San Luis Potosà and Oaxaca.

Our Jakarta source said WHO officials are afraid that the presence of gene segments from dreaded H5N1 bird flu in the A-H1N1 swine flu strain could mean that the new swine flu strain was engineered to “jump species.”

WMR has been informed that the CDC and U.S. Army dug up the body of an Inuit woman who died in 1918 in Brevig Mission, Alaska from an outbreak of Spanish flu. The influenza pandemic that year killed up to 100 million people worldwide in an 18-month period. Brevig Mission saw 72 of its 80 residents die within five days, the worst case recorded anywhere in the world. WMR has been told the genetic material recovered by the U.S. government from the corpse of the Inuit woman provided the basis for the development of the H5N1, or bird (avian), flu strain at the U.S. Army Medical Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) laboratory at Fort Detrick, Maryland, the point of origin for the Ames strain of anthrax used in the 2001 bio-war attacks against the U.S. Congress and the media.

The fear in Asia is that if the A-H1N1 pandemic spreads to the United States, travel to and from the country will be all but shut down.

The following are the symptoms associated with A-H1N1:
· cough
· fever
· sore throat
· shortness of breath
· muscle and joint pain

The drugs Tamiflu and Relenza are seen as the most effective against A-H1N1.

Hymn to Pan-ic Over New York

Today is April 27th. Written in military/governmental idiom, it is 27 April--that is, 27-4.

Before we replay the top news story of the day (particularly for New Yorkers), let's perform a little kabbalistic gematria. Add the first two digits, 2+7, and we get 9. Add the last two, 7+4, and we get 11. If you missed it: that's 9/11.

So what happened today? Here's what the panic-stricken in New York looked up and saw: a Boeing 747, said to be one of President Obama's official planes (Air Force One), and an F-16 make a circumambulation (such parading around in circles is common in lodges) around the old French masonic gift, the Statue of Liberty (designed by Brother Frederic A. Bartholdi, 1834-1904), before buzzing the lower Manhattan skyline near the World Trade Center site.

This little operation was later described as a "photo op," but was also revealed to have been a Department of Defense operation. We were told that the plane was ordered to fly near "national landmarks," which may well have been a masonic jest--a "landmark" is a basic masonic term for the "unchangeable precepts" of freemasonry.

Of course you bought that one, right? The Department of Defense has nothing better to do than shoot some pics. Who would question that?

Just about anyone.

To those scratching their heads, I have another suggested explanation: panic is useful to the government.

Panic foments chaos. Chaos creates opportunity--the opportunity to bring "order out of chaos," or Ordo Ab Chao, generally through a loss of liberty--yes, that "lady" whose statue was first ritually placed in the symbolic Circle of control, common to basic occult operations.

Scientist and OTO leader Jack Parsons used to recite Aleister Crowley's Hymn to Pan before each rocket launch. If it wasn't recited before this little panic-inducing airplane mystery ritual, it should have been.

Of course, if anyone wants to believe that the military does photo-ops involving Air Force One calculated to revive the horror of 9/11, it's a free country--at least, we're told it is. Just ask Lady Liberty, frozen in her immobile posture.

Produced Pandemic

In May 2007 the Hallmark Channel aired a mini-series called Pandemic concerning the global outbreak of a flu virus. The film starred Tiffani Thiessen and was produced by Larry Levinson Productions. Look familiar?

Governments that are inimical to their subjects (such as the current U.S. one and former Soviet Union) condition and control them through fear and terror, as they shape them into compliant psychoneurotic slaves.

"It has been found that the deliberate induction of fear, rage or anxiety markedly heightens the dog's suggestibility. When this happens, new behavior patterns may be installed with the greatest of ease." --Aldous Huxley

Apollo Moonwalker Calls for Disclosure of "ET" Contact!

by Dick Farley, capecodtoday Washington Correspondent

WASHINGTON, DC -- April 19, 2009 -- Retired navy captain and Apollo XIV astronaut Edgar Mitchell today called for the U. S. government to disclose to its citizens and other Earthlings what he asserts are the realities of long-standing extraterrestrial visitations and interactions with our planet.

Speaking this morning at "X-Conference 2009" in Gaithersburg, MD, a suburb of the nation's capital, Mitchell told several hundred attendees and a phalanx of video cameras that, with our planet confronting population pressures and critical questions of environmental and energy sustainability, the need for disclosure about extraterrestrial involvement with Earth is critical.

Mitchell contends that the dispersal of knowledge about what he believes to be the end of Earth's apparent quarantine from other civilizations, and advancement of planetary culture beyond its present fragmentation and incoherence, are desirable results of the widest public release of information about the extraterrestrial presence he believes is real.

The conference, organized by long-time "UFO Disclosure" activist and one-time Maryland congressional candidate Stephen Bassett, centers on an emergent field of cultural reconsideration its advocates term "Exopolitics." Basset's nonprofit Paradigm Research Group has mounted a decade-long broad spectrum campaign advocating disclosure of what he says are unwarranted secrets about "UFOs" and "ETs" held over as unnecessary "Cold War paranoia."

Questions of "What do we do and say after we say 'Hello!' to ET?" remain distant from wider public consideration, let alone consensus about their implications for national sovereignty, religious traditions and global policy formulation, discussions about which conference organizers and presenters are intent on provoking.

Mitchell, Bassett and other "ET disclosure" activists are banking on President Barack Obama's repeated assurances that government agencies withholding information from US citizens are "on notice," in the President's words, that an era of unnecessary secrecy is over.

Obama has said his administration's tendency will be to unlock what he and senior officials consider information rightfully belonging to the public, while recognizing constraints required for national security, a presidential promise replayed on video at the conference to sustained applause by hopeful disclosure advocates.

Mitchell said he believes such changes are essential for Earth to make progress through problems confronting humanity's competing needs, religious imperatives and cultural fragmentation.

"We live in challenging, magnificent times," Mitchell said, emphasizing that, in his opinion, information that we are not alone in the universe -- and indeed, he said, that we here on Earth are having ongoing interactions with nonterrestrial beings -- may provide a key to consciousness changes he and his colleagues believe are necessary.

Mitchell said he believes such changes are essential for Earth to make progress through problems confronting humanity's competing needs, religious imperatives and cultural fragmentation. His efforts since leaving NASA and the space program have been focused on exploring frontiers "of the mind, body and spirit," he said.

Mitchell acknowledged that, before humanity can travel with practicality much beyond our own solar system, solutions to Einsteinian limitations to faster-than-light propulsion of our spacecraft must still be solved, a frontier the aging astronaut said he believes science eventually will do.

But he stressed that our own limitations have not limited the extraterrestials he asserts are present on Earth.

"The aliens have done it!" Mitchell said of an apparent ability to traverse what to us are insurmountable distances.

He contends that as a result of wider public awareness of the ET presence, revisitation of much phenomenology catalogued in human history should precipitate revision of how we understand planetary history in light of what he believes are long-standing extraterrestrial interactions on Earth.

Interview with Edgar Mitchell on Roswell

How Terrorist Groups End

Implications for Countering al Qa'ida

This Rand Report can be found at:

http://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB9351/index1.html

The report recommends "a light U.S. military footprint or none at all."


The United States cannot conduct an effective counterterrorism campaign against al Qa'ida or other terrorist groups without understanding how such groups end. While it is clear that U.S. policymakers will need to turn to a range of policy instruments to conduct such campaigns — including careful police and intelligence work, military force, political negotiations, and economic sanctions — what is less clear is how they should prioritize U.S. efforts.

A recent RAND research effort sheds light on this issue by investigating how terrorist groups have ended in the past. By analyzing a comprehensive roster of terrorist groups that existed worldwide between 1968 and 2006, the authors found that most groups ended because of operations carried out by local police or intelligence agencies or because they negotiated a settlement with their governments. Military force was rarely the primary reason a terrorist group ended, and few groups within this time frame achieved victory.

These findings suggest that the U.S. approach to countering al Qa'ida has focused far too much on the use of military force. Instead, policing and intelligence should be the backbone of U.S. efforts.

First Systematic Examination of the End of Terrorist Groups

This was the first systematic look at how terrorist groups end. The authors compiled and analyzed a data set of all terrorist groups between 1968 and 2006, drawn from a terrorism-incident database that RAND and the Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism jointly oversee. The authors used that data to identify the primary reason for the end of groups and to statistically analyze how economic conditions, regime type, size, ideology, and group goals affected their survival. They then conducted comparative case studies of specific terrorist groups to understand how they ended.

Of the 648 groups that were active at some point between 1968 and 2006, a total of 268 ended during that period. Another 136 groups splintered, and 244 remained active. As depicted in the figure, the authors found that most ended for one of two reasons: They were penetrated and eliminated by local police and intelligence agencies (40 percent), or they reached a peaceful political accommodation with their government (43 percent). Most terrorist groups that ended because of politics sought narrow policy goals. The narrower the goals, the more likely the group was to achieve them through political accommodation — and thus the more likely the government and terrorists were to reach a negotiated settlement.

In 10 percent of cases, terrorist groups ended because they achieved victory. Military force led to the end of terrorist groups in 7 percent of cases. The authors found that militaries tended to be most effective when used against terrorist groups engaged in insurgencies in which the groups were large, well armed, and well organized. But against most terrorist groups, military force was usually too blunt an instrument.

The analysis also found that

· religiously motivated terrorist groups took longer to eliminate than other groups but rarely achieved their objectives; no religiously motivated group achieved victory during the period studied.
·
· size significantly determined a group's fate. Groups exceeding 10,000 members were victorious more than 25 percent of the time, while victory was rare for groups below 1,000 members.
·
· terrorist groups from upper-income countries are much more likely to be left-wing or nationalist and much less likely to be motivated by religion.
·
Police-Oriented Counterterrorism Rather Than a “War on Terrorism”

What does this mean for counterterrorism efforts against al Qa'ida? After September 11, 2001, U.S. strategy against al Qa'ida concentrated on the use of military force. Although the United States has employed nonmilitary instruments — cutting off terrorist financing or providing foreign assistance, for example — U.S. policymakers continue to refer to the strategy as a “war on terrorism.”

But military force has not undermined al Qa'ida. As of 2008, al Qa'ida has remained a strong and competent organization. Its goal is intact: to establish a pan-Islamic caliphate in the Middle East by uniting Muslims to fight infidels and overthrow West-friendly regimes. It continues to employ terrorism and has been involved in more terrorist attacks around the world in the years since September 11, 2001, than in prior years, though engaging in no successful attacks of a comparable magnitude to the attacks on New York and Washington.

Al Qa'ida's resilience should trigger a fundamental rethinking of U.S. strategy. Its goal of a pan-Islamic caliphate leaves little room for a negotiated political settlement with governments in the Middle East. A more effective U.S. approach would involve a two-front strategy:

· Make policing and intelligence the backbone of U.S. efforts. Al Qa'ida consists of a network of individuals who need to be tracked and arrested. This requires careful involvement of the Central Intelligence Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigation, as well as their cooperation with foreign police and intelligence agencies.
·
· Minimize the use of U.S. military force. In most operations against al Qa'ida, local military forces frequently have more legitimacy to operate and a better understanding of the operating environment than U.S. forces have. This means a light U.S. military footprint or none at all.
·
Key to this strategy is replacing the war-on-terrorism orientation with the kind of counterterrorism approach that is employed by most governments facing significant terrorist threats today. Calling the efforts a war on terrorism raises public expectations — both in the United States and elsewhere — that there is a battlefield solution. It also tends to legitimize the terrorists' view that they are conducting a jihad (holy war) against the United States and elevates them to the status of holy warriors. Terrorists should be perceived as criminals, not holy warriors.

Collateral Damage: U.S. Covert Operations and the Terrorist Attacks on September 11, 2001

By Israel Shamir


On September 11, 2001 the definition of National Security changed for most U.S. citizens. For an entire postwar generation, “National Security” meant protection from nuclear attack. On that day, Americans redefined that threat. On September 11, 2001 three hijacked airliners hit three separate buildings with such precision and skill that many observers believe those flights were controlled by something other than the poorly trained hijackers in the cockpits. This report contends that not only were the buildings targets, but that specific offices within each building were the designated targets. These offices unknowingly held information which if exposed, subsequently would expose a national security secret of unimaginable magnitude. Protecting that secret was the motivation for the September 11th attacks.

This report is about that national security secret: its origins and impact. The intent of the report is to provide a context for understanding the events of September 11th rather than to define exactly what happened that day. Initially, it is difficult to see a pattern to the destruction of September 11th other than the total destruction of the World Trade Center, a segment of the Pentagon, four commercial aircraft and the loss of 2,993 lives. However, if the perceived objective of the attack is re-defined from its commonly suggested ‘symbolic’ designation as either ‘a terrorist attack’ or a ‘new Pearl Harbor,’ and one begins by looking at it as purely a crime with specific objectives (as opposed to a political action), there is a compelling logic to the pattern of destruction.

This article provides research into the early claims by Dick Eastman, Tom Flocco, V.K. Durham and Karl Schwarz that the September 11th attacks were meant as a cover-up for financial crimes being investigated by the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), whose offices in the Pentagon were destroyed on September 11th.1 After six years of research, this report presents corroborating evidence which supports their claims, and proposes a new rationale for the September 11th attacks. In doing so, many of the anomalies – or inconvenient facts surrounding this event - take on a meaning that is consistent with the claims of Eastman et al. The hypothesis of this report is: the attacks of September 11th were intended to cover-up the clearing of $240 billion dollars in securities covertly created in September 1991 to fund a covert economic war against the Soviet Union, during which ‘unknown’ western investors bought up much of the Soviet industry, with a focus on oil and gas. The attacks of September 11th also served to derail multiple Federal investigations away from crimes associated with the 1991 covert operation. In doing so, the attacks were justified under the cardinal rule of intelligence: “protect your resources”2 and consistent with a modus operandi of sacrificing lives for a greater cause. The case for detailed targeting of the attacks begins with analysis of the attack on the Pentagon. After one concludes that the targeting of the ONI office in the Pentagon was not random – and that information is presented later3 – one then must ask: is it possible that the planes that hit the World Trade Center, and the bombs reported by various witnesses to have been set off inside the buildings 1, 6 and 7 and the basement of the Towers, were deliberately located to support the execution of a crime of mind-boggling proportions? In considering that question, a pattern emerges.

For the crimes alleged by Eastman, Flocco, Durham and Schwarz to be successful, the vault in the basement of the World Trade Center, and its contents - less than a billion in gold, but hundreds of billions of dollars of government securities - had to be destroyed. A critical mass of brokers from the major government security brokerages in the Twin Towers had to be eliminated to create chaos in the government securities market. A situation needed to be created wherein $240 billion dollars of covert securities could be electronically “cleared” without anyone asking questions- which happened when the Federal Reserve declared an emergency and invoked its “emergency powers.” that very afternoon.4 The ongoing Federal investigations into the crimes funded by those securities needed to be ended or disrupted by destroying evidence in Buildings 6, 7 and 1.5 Finally, one has to understand and demonstrate the inconceivable: that $240 billion in covert, and possibly illegal government funding could have been and were created in September of 1991. Filling in the last piece of the puzzle requires understanding 50 years of history of key financial organizations in the United States, understanding how U.S. Intelligence became a key source of their off-balance sheet accounts, and why this was sanctioned by every President since Truman.6 With that, a pattern of motivation is defined which allows government leaders and intelligence operatives to ‘rationalize’ a decision to cause the death 3,000 citizens.

World Trade Center
There were three major securities brokers in the World Trade Center: Cantor Fitzgerald, Eurobrokers and Garbon Inter Capital. On the morning of September 11, Flight 11 hit the North Tower at 8:46 right below the floors on which Cantor Fitzgerald was situated. Cantor Fitzgerald was the US largest securities dealer7 in the US and arguably the primary target.8 Shortly after that, a massive explosion went off just under the FBI offices in the North Tower on the 23rd floor, and Garbon Inter Capital on the 25th floor, and in the basement of Tower 1 as well. The explosion caused the 22nd through 25th floors above to collapse into an inferno.9 Fires were reported on the 22nd floor at 8:47.10

Shortly, thereafter, at 9:03, Flight 175 hit the South Tower right below the floors on which Euro Brokers was situated. (See Chart on page 42.) In all three cases, the explosive, fiery destruction consumed the offices in the several floors above. At 9:37 Flight 77 hit the Pentagon, targeting one of the few offices that had been moved in the newly remodeled section of the Pentagon: the Office of Naval Intelligence.11 Agents of the Office of Naval Intelligence had been investigating the financial transactions which in this report are linked to securities being managed by those security dealers in the World Trade Center that were targeted. 12 Fortunately, most other agencies had not yet been moved back into the targeted section of the Pentagon.

41% of the fatalities in the Twin Towers came from two companies that managed U.S. government securities: Cantor Fitzgerald and Eurobrokers.13 31% of the 125 fatalities in the Pentagon were from the Naval Command Center that housed the Office of Naval Intelligence. 39 of 40 Office of Naval Intelligence employees died. In the vaults beneath the World Trade Center Towers, any certificates for bonds were destroyed.14 Building 7 was evacuated somewhere between 9:00 and 9:30, depending on various claims. Fires and explosions spontaneously began at multiple locations inside the building prior to the collapse of either Tower. This observation is critical in that the official explanation for the fire is that they started when objects from the collapsing towers caused the fires to ignite.

Witnesses leaving the building claim to have seen fires already starting, and dead bodies.15 The Building ultimately was destroyed in what many unofficial observers now believe was a controlled demolition. Building Seven housed the following agencies critical to investigation of financial crimes related to this history: Export-Import Bank of the US Floor 6 US Secret Service Floors 9 & 10 Securities and Exchange Commission Floors 11,12 &13 Internal Revenue Service Floors 24 & 25 CIA Floor 25 Department of Defense Floor 25

“All the evidence that we stored at 7 World Trade, in all our cases, went down with the building," according to US Secret Service Special Agent David Curran -- the number three guy in that office. "We lost our network, we lost all our computers, we lost all the equipment that we use as Secret Service Agents. Everything from machine guns to our shotguns to our electronic equipment that we use." A lot of cases had to be closed as a result of losing that building.”16(See note for additional references.) In the midst of all this, Building 6 was destroyed by explosions from within, before being buried in the rubble of the Towers.17

FEMA, the agency charged with investigating the disaster, did not collect any data on this building. Building 6 was home to the U.S. Customs agency and the El Dorado Task force, an interagency money-laundering group from 55 agencies created in 1992. The El Dorado Task force was responsible for coordinating all major money-laundering investigations in the U.S. In the immediate aftermath of September 11, these groups would be redirected to investigate terrorist financing.18 On the same day, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared a national emergency and for the first time in U.S. history invoked its emergency powers under Securities Exchange Act Section 12(k) and eased regulatory restrictions for clearing and settling security trades for the next 15 days. These changes would allow an estimated $240 billion in covert government securities to be cleared upon maturity without the standard regulatory controls around identification of ownership.19 (The manner in which this was accomplished is explained later in the report.)

Any bets on what will happen with that “open door”?


Barack Obama is not given the right by our Constitution to be the judge and jury for torturers. I include Bush and Cheney in this category although they committed other war crimes. Mr. Obama and our Congress took oaths to uphold the Constitution and the laws of the land. They must be reminded that they must do this job regardless of whether they think it is divisive or not.

If President Obama and the Congress do their jobs of enforcing the law with respect to torture and other Bush and Cheney war crimes, they will begin unraveling the web of deceit that has supported the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Global Warming Ruse

ICE is expanding in much of Antarctica, contrary to the widespread public belief that global warming is melting the continental ice cap.

"A paper to be published soon by the British Antarctic Survey in the journal Geophysical Research Letters is expected to confirm that over the past 30 years, the area of sea ice around the continent has expanded."
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,25349683-601,00.html

"Global warming" is a perfect example of CIA concocted "news" or disinformation. It's main intent is to dupe people into regarding it as a primary serious matter--as a means of "mind control." Invent some irrelevant threat or concern for the masses, thus conditioning them to think and react accordingly. To the government and the CIA it is unimportant whether global warming is true or not, what matters is that it is hyped, argued about and perceived as an "urgent issue" to waste time over; a convenient ploy while the state methodically increases its power amidst the planned social regression of civilization. Those in power will develop and maintain innumerable schemes to keep the powerless occupied and diverted from focusing their envious gaze towards overthrowing those in power (mass religion, entertainment, news, constant work, environment, talk radio, two-party scam, etc.)--essentially any activity which is not directed at or contributes to their potential dethronement.

Obama aids in cover-up of 9-11

According to the New York Times today, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was waterboarded 183 times in one month. However, the CIA agents who did this will not be prosecuted.

According to Barack O’Bomber, "Nothing will be gained by spending our time and energy laying blame for the past” - preferring to move beyond "a dark and painful chapter in our history."

This is "cover-up" language plain and simple.

How is this all related to 9-11 you might ask?

According to my interview with David Ray Griffin in the current issue of Paranoia, “Almost everything the 9-11 Commission published in their official report about Osama bin Laden’s responsibility for the attacks is supported in the notes section by a three-word phrase, “interrogation of KSM.” This means that KSM was effectively a blank slate, on which the Commission or the CIA behind it could write anything they wished. We have no way of knowing whether KSM said any of these things (or, if he did, whether he was tortured until he said what his interrogators wanted).”

Thus, anyone with a logical bone in his or her body can follow the trail of this massive 9-11 cover-up to its conclusion. If KSM was tortured near death into taking any responsibility for 9-11, then the 9-11 Commission Report on which it is based is FALSE, and Obama is obstructing justice and aiding in the cover-up.

Care to argue that point?

Danish TV - NanoThermite used on 9/11

Active NanoThermite Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center





Niels Harrit and 8 other scientists found nano-thermite in the dust from the World Trade Center. Interviewed on Danish TV2 News.

Authors: Niels H. Harrit, Jeffrey Farrer, Steven E. Jones, Kevin R. Ryan, Frank M. Legge, Daniel Farnsworth, Gregg Roberts, James R. Gourley, Bradley R. Larsen


Abstract
We have discovered distinctive red/gray chips in all the samples we have studied of the dust produced by the destruction of the World Trade Center. Examination of four of these samples, collected from separate sites, is reported in this paper. These red/gray chips show marked similarities in all four samples. One sample was collected by a Manhattan resident about ten minutes after the collapse of the second WTC Tower, two the next day, and a fourth about a week later. The properties of these chips were analyzed using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The red material contains grains approximately 100 nm across which are largely iron oxide, while aluminum is contained in tiny plate-like structures.

Separation of components using methyl ethyl ketone demonstrated that elemental aluminum is present. The iron oxide and aluminum are intimately mixed in the red material. When ignited in a DSC device the chips exhibit large but narrow exotherms occurring at approximately 430 °C, far below the normal ignition temperature for conventional thermite. Numerous iron-rich spheres are clearly observed in the residue following the ignition of these peculiar red/gray chips. The red portion of these chips is found to be an unreacted thermitic material and highly energetic.

Interview transcript:

International researchers have found traces of explosives among the World Trade Center rubble. A new scientific article concludes that impacts from the two hijacked aircraft did not cause the collapses in 2001. We turn our attention to 9/11 – the major attack in New York. Apparently the two airplane-impacts did not cause the towers to collapse, according to a newly published scientific article. Researchers found nano-thermite explosive in the rubble, that cannot have come from the planes. They believe several tonnes of explosives were placed in the buildings in advance.

Niels Harrit, you and eight other researchers conclude in this article, that it was nano-thermite that caused these buildings to collapse. What is nano-thermite?

We found nano-thermite in the rubble. We are not saying only nano-thermite was used. Thermite itself dates back to 1893. It is a mixture of aluminum and rust-powder, which react to create intense heat. The reaction produces iron, heated to 2500 °C. This can be used to do welding. It can also be used to melt other iron. Nanotechnology makes things smaller. So in nano-thermite, this powder from 1893 is reduced to tiny particles, perfectly mixed. When these react, the intense heat develops much more quickly. Nano-thermite can be mixed with additives to give off intense heat, or serve as a very effective explosive. It contains more energy than dynamite, and can be used as rocket fuel.

I Googled nano-thermite, and not much has been written about it. Is it a widely known scientific substance? Or is it so new that other scientists are hardly aware of it?

It is a collective name for substances with high levels of energy. If civilian researchers (like myself) are not familiar with it, it is probably because they do not do much work with explosives. As for military scientists, you would have to ask them. I do not know how familiar they are with nanotechnology.

So you found this substance in the WTC, why do you think it caused the collapses?

Well, it’s an explosive. Why else would it be there?

You believe the intense heat melted the building’s steel support structure, and caused the building to collapse like a house of cards?

I cannot say precisely, as this substance can serve both purposes. It can explode and break things apart, and it can melt things. Both effects were probably used, as I see it. Molten metal pours out of the South Tower several minutes before the collapse. This indicates the whole structure was being weakened in advance. Then the regular explosives come into play. The actual collapse sequence had to be perfectly timed, all the way down.

What quantities are we talking about?

A lot. There were only two planes, but three skyscrapers collapsed. We know roughly how much dust was created. The pictures show huge quantities, everything but the steel was pulverised. And we know roughly how much unreacted thermite we have found. This is the “loaded gun”, material that did not ignite for some reason. We are talking about tonnes. Over 10 tonnes, possibly 100 tonnes.

Ten tonnes, possibly 100 tonnes, in three buildings? And these substances are not normally found in such buildings?

No. These materials are extremely advanced.

How do you place such material in a skyscraper, on all the floors? How you would get it in?

- Yes. If I had to transport it in those quantities I would use pallets. Get a truck and move it in on pallets.

Why hasn’t this been discovered earlier?

- By whom?

The caretakers, for example.

If you are moving 10 to 100 tonnes of nano-thermite around, and placing it on all the floors. I am just surprised no-one noticed. As a journalist, you should address that question to the company responsible for security at the WTC.

So you are in no doubt the material was present?


You cannot fudge this kind of science. We have found it. Unreacted thermite.

What responses has your article received around the world? It is completely new knowledge for me.

It was only published last Friday. So it is too early to say. But the article may not be as groundbreaking as you think. Hundreds of thousands of people around the world, have long known that the three buildings were demolished. This has been crystal clear. Our research is just the last nail in the coffin. This is not the ‘smoking gun’, it is the ‘loaded gun’. Each day, thousands of people realise that the WTC was demolished. That is something unstoppable.

Why has no-one discovered earlier that there was nano-thermite in the buildings? Almost ten years have passed.

You mean in the dust?

- Yes.

It was by chance that someone looked at the dust with a microscope.

They are tiny red chips. The biggest are 1 mm in size, and can be seen with the naked eye. But you need a microscope to see the vast majority. It was by chance that someone discovered them two years ago. It has taken 18 months to prepare the scientific article you refer to. It is a very comprehensive article based on thorough research.

You have been working on this for several years, because it didn’t make sense to you.

Yes, over two years actually. It all started when I saw the collapse of Building 7, the third skyscraper. It collapsed seven hours after the twin towers. And there were only two airplanes. When you see a 47-storey building, 186m tall, collapse in 6.5 seconds, and you are a scientist, you think “what?”. I had to watch it again… and again. I hit the button 10 times, and my jaw dropped lower and lower. Firstly, I had never heard of that building before. And there was no visible reason why it should collapse in that way, straight down, in 6.5 seconds. I have had no rest since that day.

Ever since 9/11 there has been speculation, and conspiracy theories. What do you say to viewers who hear about your research and say, “we’ve heard it all before, there are lots of conspiracy theories”. What would you say to convince them that this is different?

I think there is only one conspiracy theory worth mentioning, the one involving 19 hijackers. I think viewers should ask themselves what evidence they have seen to support the official conspiracy theory. If anyone has seen evidence, I would like to hear about it. No-one has been formally charged. No-one is ‘wanted’. Our work should lead to demands for a proper criminal investigation of the 9/11 terrorist attack. Because it never happened. We are still waiting for it. We hope our results will be used as technical evidence when that day comes.

Niels Harrit, fascinating, thanks for coming in.

My pleasure.

A Gnostic View Of The 21st Century

By Francis Donald Grabau




SATURN ARCHON
Francisco Goya


Whatever became of Jose Maria Escriva and Opus Dei, you ask, isn’t that the supposed subject of this writing? Well, yes, but neither Mister Escriva nor his foundling, Opus Dei, exist in a vacuum. I’ve dubbed him a ‘Fascist Saint for the 21st Century’ and I will argue that both he and his organization are nearly perfect examples of what we are going to witness as the death throes of negative Saturn within the human psyche while this century unfolds. So we must spend a while longer looking at the chart for the century, discovering the kernel of its hundred year long pattern before we can place Escriva or Opus Dei within that pattern. Saturn, we will find, is pivotal to all this work but so is the Moon, the Queen of Heaven. Remember, if you will, that Saturn and the Moon figuratively oppose one another throughout the century just as they do at the century’s birth, and we are examining the moment of that birth through its natal chart.

Time is in love with Eternity, and together they act in mutual bliss. Of course, the false Archon of Saturn in the guise of the Greek, Chronos, wants to hide that reality from us, wants to keep us marching along the measured line of causal reality even though that line of chronological time ultimately turns into circles, gears, and clocks imprisoning us in the fear of death and the pain of suffering. But every Planet has its masking Archon seeking to distort its force, so do asteroids and even moons. Indeed, the very living zodiac of signs shines through the obscuring veils of the Archons. As Jesus and Plato both said, we ‘see now through a glass darkly’, yet we may find our other being face to face in the Light of Conscious Awareness.

As the 21st Century opened the Moon was in Scorpio and only 35 minutes of a degree away from exact opposition to Saturn in Taurus. We can understand this as the Wisdom of the Queen of Heaven opposing the Authority of the Patriarchal God. We can see it as the ebb and flow of feeling opposing the focused confines of ‘logical’ reason. Mary, the Mother of Jesus opposing his Father God. Wisdom opposing the ‘Logos’ word of the Law.

There are a myriad of facets to this opposition between the Moon and Saturn but they are the warp and woof of a single weaving for their cycles closely mirror each other; the Moon requires 28+ days to travel round the zodiac of signs just once, while Saturn takes 29+ years to do the same. It’s a question of form relating to change, of structure to content. But always, when the Moon stands in full opposition to Saturn, she stands on her own Authority and faces her equal. Feeling has its own form, gravity is the centering of movement. And in the Century’s chart this dance between Moon and Saturn enlivens the fixed signs of Scorpio and Taurus implying a need on the part of humans to move carefully in balance between the waters and the continents, between the flowingly invisible (Scorpio) and the physically substantial (Taurus). Mystery, intrigue, and the possibility for transformation characterize this opposition which warns us of the danger of repressed feelings and intuitions constrained by laws.

Mother Moon faces off with Father Time. In Roman Catholic terms, it’s ‘Holy Mother Church’ in opposition to ‘Il Papa’, the Pope. In every organized religion it’s the feeling and soul of the religion (Moon) opposing the laws and dogmas of that religion (Saturn). And especially in America, where the Moon in Scorpio occupies the Nation’s 2nd House (of wealth, taxation revenues, banks and commerce) her opposition to Saturn in Taurus in the 8th House (of corporations, interest rates, birth-mortality rates, and the National debt) warns of a slowdown followed by a nearly complete cessation to the flow of money and goods. Commerce coming close to a total halt, mortgage and interest rates frozen, debts coming due.

These financial and physical challenges are integrally bound up with religions due to the fact of the Moon being in practical and productive sextile relationship to both Pluto and Chiron in Sagittarius while also opposed to Saturn authority which is simultaneously in quincunx relationship to the Pluto/Chiron combined forces in religion prone Sagittarius. In this 21st Century, therefore, money, land rights, and all forms of government and commerce around the planet are especially subject to, and pointedly influenced by the teachings, rules, and dogmas of various religious/philosophical belief systems.

Capitalism, if one looks at its philosophical presumptions, is a direct result and logical outcome of Hierarchical Christianity and its simplistic concepts of good and bad. God rewards the good and punishes the bad according to the Christian mythos, so the good are rich and the bad are poor. Since all Christians are born in sin and need to be redeemed it’s easy to see why most people are bound to be poor. Only the forgiveness of the Jesus Corporation via God’s Holy Bank can make you rich. Most ‘poor sinners’ are poor because they’re just 'lazy, unrepentant, weak, and bad.'

To be ‘born again’ is to get a good credit rating and hold a Gold Master Card. To be simple, humble persons imitating Christ it’s best that the masses should actually go barefoot (‘on credit’) as He did and figuratively ride around on donkeys ending their earthly days happy to be crucified. Sin is big business yielding superior profits for investors in Christian Capitalism. Guilt, suffering, and starvation wages go hand in hand with praying for the Redeemer to come again, clear up the books, and set things straight. Armageddon is the settling of all accounts. Cheating, lying, and waging War is the single most profitable and blessed activity to be found at the heart of Corporate Christian Capitalism which is based upon trading and profiting in the wages of death and sin.

All this is clearly visible in the 21st Century retrograde position of false Saturn/Yahweh in the sign of Taurus goods and money quincunx to both Pluto and Chiron in the Religious/Philosophical sign of Sagittarius. Only the Moon, the Wisdom of deep feeling found in Scorpio opposes the Patriarchal authority of the Saturn/Yahweh ‘God’ reflecting his own fear based greed straight back to him. Telling him it’s poisonous. Lethal.

But the Moon is also Mistress of the Waters, and everywhere around the globe the people of Earth will be increasingly impacted throughout the coming century by the secret controls imposed by Saturn Authority figures on the flow of sacred, life giving and potable water. Scorpio as the sign of poisons, attempts to remove toxic impurities from the body …in this case, the toxic pollution of the waters flowing in, around, and through the body of the Earth. The false Saturn Authorities entrenched in their retrograde stance within 8th House Corporations will stand ignorantly blind and opposed to these needed cleansings, they will hold on stubbornly (Taurus) to their established practices of radically polluting land, sea, sky and earth in their greed for profits.

They will stand in challenge to the Century’s Lunar Nodal Axis which marks the Past (Aquarius South Node) and the Future (Leo North Node) declaring a ‘crisis’ over the ‘fate of the earth’. They will cultivate fear in the feelings of the world’s masses (Moon) and promote their falsely created but self-fulfilling Saturn agenda of scarcity and absolute control. All natural land, air, and water ‘resources’ will be controlled through increasingly stricter laws enforced by the mouthing of capitalistic religious precepts.

In their vile work they will be assisted by traditional churchmen, mosquemen, stupamen and templemen. Their own greed masking (especially to themselves) their unconscious death wishes will let loose upon the Earth their religious henchmen, the notorious ‘Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse’ who will, in turn, be used to release their masters’ genetically designed plagues upon humanity. The heartless Masters will keep their antidotes for themselves and for the select ‘few’ they have chosen to seed their ‘New World Order’. Many of the innocent and good will be slaughtered before enough people are able to shake off their numbed conditioning and fight back to defend their rights.

The dumbly religious will accept their ‘Holocaust-Armageddon’ conditioning and meekly wind their way into the slaughter like pure victims imitating their Corporately designed and packaged Saviour who (they were taught to believe) died on the cross for their sins. The pearly white teeth in the jaws of Moloch will grind them to extinction and they will become the new fodder for the heavenly fields of the fake Jesus, the phony Buddha, the insatiable Allah. Thus will the Age of Pisces Faith terminate, and the Fishermen rot in the polluted seas with their much sought after but thoroughly toxic fish. This is the sickly vision of Yaldaboath, the false Archon masking Saturn who mocks the law of Spirit, the sympathetic relatedness that is Love. And all the while, the Moon as Queen of Heaven, as Fatima, as Shekinah, as Sophia -as every Mother on the planet will watch her sick and dying children and weep. Or, perhaps She will fight back with Her stirring ‘Vagina Monologues’.

The future need not be this bleak if we as humans would embrace the opposition between the Moon and Saturn and resolve it within ourselves. It’s the opposition between the flow of feeling and the responsibility of authority. When each of us is ready to accept our feeling relationship (Moon) to all of Life and act responsibly (Saturn) on that feeling relationship we immediately attune ourselves to real authority (Saturn) because we no longer seek to make anyone or anything outside ourselves responsible for our own decisions.

We realize our innate ability to be centered within the whole and are at once Holy.

We escape the clutches of the ignorant Archon Yahweh/Yaldaboath and cease to imitate its arrogant, separatist ignorance.

We no longer bounce back and forth between a good god (elation) and an evil satan (depression) for we recognize these polarities within ourselves and get them together in our embrace.

We give birth to our feeling selves (Moon) and finally acknowledge our own responsible authority (Saturn).

We define (Saturn) our soul (Moon) and are able to walk in the light of Spirit (Sun). We must dial up and tune into our feeling intuitions through the Moon for, as the Korean video artist Nam June Paik so beautifully demonstrated, “Moon is the oldest TV set.”

"Jesus killed Mohammed" Upcoming Harper's Magazine

"Jesus killed Mohammed: the crusade for a Christian military" is the upcoming Harper's Magazine cover story. Finally breaking into the mainstream, the story of the fundamentalist Christian takeover of the United States military... it's not paranoid folks, it's fact.

My comments on one aspect of the article and a preview of the story (above title is the link)

Carbon Footprint of Spam

This is really weird and disturbing. I'm very very distressed about this.

I’m not going to eat Spam anymore. Even though it’s very tasty with eggs, I hope my friends will join me in cutting down on Spam. It’s a sacrifice we all must make.

Just imagine, we can save the world by eating sausages instead.

Couldn't we send Spam Baskets instead of Spam Emails?


*******************************

A study into spam has blamed it for the production of more than 33bn kilowatt-hours of energy every year, enough to power more than 2.4 million homes.

The "Carbon Footprint of Spam Report" estimated that 62 trillion spam emails are sent globally every year.

This amounted to emissions of more than 17 million tons of CO2, the research by climate consultants ICF International and anti-virus firm McAfee found.

Life imprisonment for children - Disney Prison

As bill to ban life imprisonment for children languishes, inequities of defense persist

"We bishops cannot support policies that treat young offenders as though they are adults. The actions of the most violent youth leave us shocked and frightened and therefore they should be removed from society until they are no longer dangerous. But society must never respond to children who have committed crimes as though they are somehow equal to adults, fully formed in conscience and fully aware of their actions." —United States Conference of Catholic Bishops


Children facing prospect of life sentence often have no choice but rely on state's overworked and under-resourced public defenders.

By Eartha Jane Melzer

As legislation to end juvenile-life-without-parole sentences in Michigan remains stalled in the Senate Judiciary Committee, some court watchers are warning that the controversial sentence may not be in tune with recent public opinion and is not applied fairly by the justice system.

Currently, nearly 350 people in the state are serving life sentences for crimes committed when they were age 17 or younger. Seventy percent of them are African American, according to the state’s Department of Corrections.

Michigan, which currently spends approximately 20 percent of it’s general budget on corrections, has the third-highest number of inmates serving juvenile-life-without-parole sentences, according to a 2005 study by the Wayne State University School of Social Work.

Wayne State’s study surveyed public sentiment on juvenile crime and punishment and found that a majority did not support juvenile-life-without-parole sentences.
“Michigan residents are unequivocal in their belief that youth should be held accountable for their violent crimes,” the study’s authors wrote, “but that it should be in a manner that recognizes the physiologic, psychological and emotional capabilities of the youths, understanding that these capabilities differ from that of adults. These findings seem to support alternative sentencing arrangements and changes to Michigan’s current policies and legislation.”

When asked what would be an appropriate sentence for a juvenile convicted of homicide, the largest portion of respondents, 39 percent, said they preferred confinement in a juvenile facility then transfer to an adult facility for a life sentence with possibility of parole. Only 5 percent said life in adult prison without parole was the appropriate sentence; 78 percent of those surveyed said that 14-16 year-olds should not be sentenced to adult prison.

Patricia Caruso, director of the state Department of Corrections, supports the legislation to end juvenile-life-without-parole sentencing and told the Capitol News Service last month that juveniles should never come into the adult prison system.
“When you put a 14-year-old in an adult system, you’ve given up.” she said. “Adult prisons are not designed for juveniles.”

The legislation, sponsored by State Sen. Liz Brater, an Ann Arbor Democrat, would ban juvenile-life-without-parole sentences and allow those already serving mandatory life sentences for crimes committed as juveniles to apply for parole after a portion of their sentence is served. The bill was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee in February, where it has been stuck ever since.

While prison is where mainly children of color end up, white children end up in a corporate created prison of minds called Disneyland. And there is no one to defend them from this either!


How Disney exploits young boys

By Henry A. Giroux, truthout.org

Casino capitalism may be getting a bad rap in the mainstream media, but the values that nourish it are alive and well in the world of Disney.[1] As reported recently in a front-page article in The New York Times, Disney is in the forefront of finding ways to capitalize on the $50 billion dollars spent worldwide by young boys between the ages of 6 and 14.[2] As part of such efforts, Disney has enlisted the help of educators, anthropologists and a former researcher with "a background in the casino industry" to not only study all aspects of the culture and intimate lives of young boys, but to do so in a way that allows Disney to produce "emotional hooks" that lure young boys into the wonderful world of corporate Disney in order to turn them into enthusiastic consumers.[3]

The potential for lucrative profits to be made off the spending habits and economic influence of kids has certainly not been lost on Disney and a number of other mega corporations, which under the deregulated, privatized, no-holds-barred world of the free market have set out to embed the dynamics of commerce, exchange value and commercial transactions into every aspect of personal and daily life. If Disney had its way, kids' culture would become not merely a new market for the accumulation of capital but a petri dish for producing new commodified subjects. As a group, young people are vulnerable to corporate giants such as Disney, who make every effort "to expand inwardly into the psyche and emotional life of the individual in order to utilize human potential" in the service of a market society.[4] Since children's identities have to be actively directed toward the role of consumers, knowledge, information, entertainment and cultural pedagogy become central in shaping and influencing every waking moment of children's daily lives. In this instance, Disney, with its legion of media holdings, armies of marketers and omnipresent advertisers, set out not to just exploit young boys and other youth for profit; they are actually constructing them as commodities and promoting the concept of childhood as a saleable commodity.

What is particularly disturbing in this scenario is that Disney and a growing number of marketers and advertisers now work with child psychologists and other experts who study young people in order to better understand children's culture so as to develop marketing methods that are more camouflaged, seductive and successful.[5] For example, Disney's recent attempts to "figure out the boys' entertainment market," includes the services of Kelly Pena, described as "the kid whisperer," who in an attempt to understand what makes young boys tick, uses her anthropological skills to convince young boys and their parents to allow her to look into the kids' closets, go shopping with young boys and pay them $75 to be interviewed. Ms. Pena, with no irony intended, prides herself on the fact that "Children ... open up to her."[6]
