Annunciation is my home. Minneapolis is my neighborhood. Minnesota is my community.
Those words carry a different weight now.
After the mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church and School on Aug. 27, 2025, my world became both smaller and larger.
Smaller because your focus narrows to what matters most. Your children. Your neighbors. The places where you should feel safe.
Larger because in the hours and days after the tragedy, we were surrounded by support from across our city and state, and from people we had never met. Thousands gathered at vigils, stood with us and reminded us that we are not alone.
That combination changes you. You begin to see yourself not just as a parent or a member of a parish, but as part of something larger. And with that comes a responsibility to speak up and to help drive change.
My 11- and 9-year-old daughters were in the church that day, hiding under pews while 116 rounds of gunfire tore through a place that was supposed to be safe. Their friends and classmates, Harper Moyski and Fletcher Merkel, were killed. Twenty-nine others were injured.
Their sense of safety was taken from them that day. To me as a father, that reality is devastating.
Since last fall, I’ve been part of the Annunciation Light Alliance, a parent advocacy group formed by parents and community members after this tragedy. We are united by one belief: that every child should be able to learn, play and worship free from gun violence.
Annunciation parent: My experience testifying for safe schools at a divided Capitol
After meeting with several legislators across Minnesota — Democrats and Republicans, in both the House and Senate — three things have become clear.
First, people on both sides of the aisle care deeply about protecting children.
Second, politics complicates action. Election pressures, district differences and personal risk all influence decisions in ways that do not always align with what leaders know is right.
Third, and most important, solutions exist.
No single policy will end gun violence. But there are many proven measures that, together, can make a real difference.
Research from the Violence Prevention Project at Hamline University underscores this: Mass shootings are often preventable. But prevention requires a layered approach.
That means identifying and supporting people in crisis before violence occurs. Policies like anonymous reporting systems; behavioral threat assessment teams; social media monitoring for credible threats, and Extreme Risk Protection Orders — often called red flag laws — are designed to do exactly that.
It also means reducing harm when prevention fails. Limiting high-capacity magazines can slow shooters down, creating critical moments for people to escape and for law enforcement to respond. Restricting access to assault-style weapons, which are designed for rapid, high-volume fire, can further reduce the scale of damage and loss of life when these tragedies occur. Strengthening school safety planning, with proper funding and oversight, ensures that institutions are better prepared to protect lives.
These are not abstract ideas, and they are not mutually exclusive. They are practical, actionable steps, and many of them are being debated right now in the Minnesota Legislature.
Doing nothing is not neutrality.
It is a decision.
A decision to accept that what happened at Annunciation could happen again — to another school, another church, another family.
We cannot accept that.
This legislative session ends May 18. There is still time to act.
Contact your representatives. Make your voice heard. Ask them not to choose between protection and prevention, but to pursue both.
Because no parent should have to wonder whether their child will return home from school, church or a neighborhood event.
Because no community should have to rebuild after preventable violence.
And because if the past year has shown us anything, it’s that when Minnesotans come together, we can create real change.
Let’s do it again.
For our children.
Dan Manchon, of Minneapolis, is an Annunciation School parent.

On October 1, 2017, a mass shooting occurred when 64-year-old Stephen Paddock opened fire on the crowd attending the Route 91 Harvest music festival on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada from his 32nd-floor suites in the Mandalay Bay hotel. He fired more than 1,000 rounds, killing 60 people and wounding at least 413 others. The ensuing panic brought the total number of injured to about 867. About an hour later, he was found dead in his room from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The motive for the shooting is officially undetermined.
The incident is the deadliest mass shooting by a lone gunman in American history. It focused attention on firearms laws in the U.S., particularly with regard to bump stocks, which Paddock used to fire shots in rapid succession, at a rate similar to that of automatic firearms.[4] Bump stocks were banned by the U.S. Justice Department in December 2018, but the ban was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2024.[5]

AI Overview
Major historical massacres involving Roman Catholics as either perpetrators or victims include the 1572 St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in France, where thousands of Protestants (Huguenots) were killed, and the 1655 Piedmont Easter against Waldensians. In the U.S., anti-Catholic violence occurred during "Bloody Monday" in 1855, and, conversely, indigenous communities suffered deaths linked to Catholic-run residential schools.
Historical Catholic-Led Massacres (Perpetrator Focus)
St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre (1572): Following years of tension, French Catholics, in a mix of premeditated political assassinations and mob violence, killed an estimated 3,000 Protestants in Paris and thousands more in the provinces, lasting for several days.
Massacre of Vassy (1562): Troops under the Duke of Guise attacked Huguenots worshipping in a barn, killing about 50 people, which triggered the French Wars of Religion.
Piedmont Easter (1655): Catholic forces targeted the Waldensian Protestant community in Piedmont, leading to the slaughter of over 1,700 people.
Anti-Catholic Violence (Victim Focus)
Bloody Monday (1855): In Louisville, Kentucky, anti-immigrant "Know-Nothing" mobs attacked German and Irish Catholic neighborhoods on election day, killing 22 people.
Annunciation Catholic Church Shooting (2026): A recent investigation into a school shooting during Mass in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
AI Overview
Cardinal Robert Prevost (now Pope LEO XIV) visited Las Vegas prior to his election, with Archbishop George LEO Thomas mentioning they shared lunch in 2023. Described as humble and soft-spoken, Cardinal Prevost’s visit left a positive impression on local Las Vegas Catholic leaders, who expressed deep joy at his election as the first American pope.
Key Details regarding the visit and local reaction:
Meeting with Leadership: Archbishop George Leo Thomas of Las Vegas noted he met with the now-Pope in 2023.Impression: Thomas described him as having "the demeanor of a parish priest," describing him as quiet, simple, and unassuming, yet having a profound presence.
Reaction to Election: Following the 2025 announcement of his election as Pope Leo XIV, local Catholic congregations in Las Vegas gathered at the Guardian Angel Cathedral for a special mass of thanksgiving.
Local Connection: Local leaders expressed optimism, believing Pope Leo XIV’s pastoral, humble approach will serve the church well, noting his fluency in multiple languages and global experience.
Leon (Ancient Greek: λέων, romanized: léon; leōn) is a first name of Greek origin, meaning "lion". It gave rise to similar names in other languages, including the Latin Leo, French Lyon or Léon, Irish Leon, Spanish León, Armenian Levon / Լևոն or Georgian Levan / ლევან.

Rosicrucianism is a theosophy advanced by an invisible order of spiritual knights who in spreading Christian Hermeticism, Kabbalah, and Gnosis seek to enliven and to preserve the memory of Divine Wisdom, understood as a feminine flame of love called Sofia or Shekhinah, exoterically given as a fresh unfolded rose, yet, more akin to the BLUE fire of alchemy, the BLUE virgin.

Detecting malware that resides only in RAM
To detect fileless malware, you need to focus on identifying anomalous behavior indicative of malicious activity. Here are some techniques you can use:
Behavioral analysis
This involves monitoring system memory, processes, and network traffic for unusual patterns. For example, an unexpected spike in PowerShell or WMI activity, especially involving commands known to be associated with malicious operations, can be a red flag.
Operation Cobalt Kitty: A targeted attack by the OceanLotus (APT32) group, this campaign used a fileless technique involving PowerShell scripts and the Windows Management Instrumentation for espionage purposes.

Peterson Space Force Base, previously Peterson Air Force Base, Peterson Field, and Army Air Base, Colorado Springs, is a United States Space Force base that shares an airfield with the adjacent Colorado Springs Municipal Airport and is home to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), the Space Force's 21st Space Wing, elements of the Space Force's Space Systems Command, and United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) headquarters. Developed as a World War II air support base for Camp Carson, the facility conducted Army Air Forces training and supported Cold War air defense centers at the nearby Ent Air Force Base, Chidlaw Building, and Cheyenne Mountain Complex. The base was the location of the Air Force Space Command headquarters from 1987 to 20 December 2019 and has had NORAD/NORTHCOM command center operations since the 2006 Cheyenne Mountain Realignment placed the nearby Cheyenne Mountain Complex on standby. On 26 July 2021, the installation was renamed Peterson Space Force Base to reflect its prominent role in the new space service.[2]

AI Overview
Peter and Pedro share the same etymological root, deriving from the Greek word petros (masculine) or petra (feminine), meaning "stone" or "rock". The name was Latinized as Petrus and is based on the Aramaic name Cephas ("rock") given by Jesus to the Apostle Simon. Peter is the English form, while Pedro is the Spanish and Portuguese equivalent.
Key Etymological Details:
Origin: The name originates from the Greek Petros and Latin Petrus, translating the Aramaic Kephas.
Meaning: Both names signify "stone" or "rock," symbolizing steadfastness and reliability.
Biblical Significance: In Matthew 16:18, Jesus refers to Peter (Cephas) as the rock upon which the church would be built.
Linguistic Evolution (Pedro): In Spanish and Portuguese, the Latin "t" in Petrus underwent a process called lenition (specifically, voicing), turning the 't' into a 'd' to form Pedro.
Cognates and Variations: Other variations include Pierre (French), Pietro (Italian), Piotr (Polish), Pyotr (Russian), and Petar (Slavic).
Differences in Usage:
Peter: Primarily used in English, German, and Scandinavian languages.
Pedro: Primarily used in Spanish and Portuguese-speaking regions.
Pedro Arrupe y Gondra, SJ (14 November 1907 – 5 February 1991) was a Spanish Catholic priest who served as the 28th superior general of the Society of Jesus from 1965 to 1983.[2] He has been called a second founder of the Society, which he led in the implementation of the Second Vatican Council, especially with regard to faith that does justice and preferential option for the poor.[3][2]
Born in 1907 in Bilbao, Arrupe joined the Jesuits in 1927 and was ordained to the priesthood in 1936. While serving as a novice master outside Hiroshima in 1945, Arrupe used his medical background as a first responder to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.[4]
In 1983, paralysis from a stroke caused Arrupe to resign from office. He lived on until 1991, when he died in the local Jesuit infirmary.[4] His cause for sainthood was opened by the Jesuits and the Diocese of Rome in 2018.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedro_Arrupe
Peter Hans Kolvenbach (30 November 1928 – 26 November 2016) was a Dutch Catholic priest and professor who was the 29th superior general of the Society of Jesus from 1983 to 2008.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Hans_Kolvenbach
The Denial of Peter (or Peter's Denial) refers to three acts of denial of Jesus by the Apostle Peter as described in all four Gospels of the New Testament.[2]
All four Canonical Gospels state that during Jesus's Last Supper with his disciples, he predicted that Peter would deny knowledge of him, stating that Peter would disown him before the rooster crowed the next morning.[a] Following the arrest of Jesus, Peter denied knowing him three times, but after the third denial, he heard the rooster crow and recalled the prediction as Jesus turned to look at him. Peter then began to cry bitterly.[4][b] This final incident is known as the Repentance of Peter.[5]
The turbulent emotions behind Peter's denial and later repentance have been the subject of major works of art for centuries. Examples include Caravaggio's Denial of Saint Peter, which is now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The incidents have also inspired segments in various films related to the life and death of Jesus Christ (for instance, when Francesco De Vito performed as Peter in The Passion of the Christ) as well as references in musical works, both religious and secular.

AI Overview
A stalker filing a restraining order against their victim is a manipulative tactic known as "weaponized litigation" or DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender). This allows the stalker to use the court system to continue harassment, gain the victim's address, and falsely claim victimhood, often creating a "he-said-she-said" scenario that complicates legal protection for the actual victim.
WomensLaw.org
Key Aspects of This Tactic:
Reversing Roles: The stalker portrays themselves as the victim of harassment to gain legal, emotional, and social power over the true victim.
Information Gathering: By filing, the stalker may force the victim to provide contact information or address details in court documents.
Legal Harassment: This tactic forces the victim to spend time, money, and emotional energy defending themselves in court, which is a form of control.
Common in High-Conflict Cases: It is a tactic frequently seen in situations where the stalker has previously faced legal consequences or has an intimate knowledge of the victim's vulnerabilities.
www.njcriminaldefensellc.com
Common Outcomes:
Dismissal: Courts often dismiss these fraudulent orders if the victim can prove the harassment originated from the person filing.
Increased Danger: Such actions are often linked to increased violence or stalking behavior.
The Stalking Prevention, Awareness, and Resource Center
Note: If you are experiencing this, it is recommended to document all instances of harassment and seek legal counsel or victim advocacy services immediately.

good evening this is May Brussel this program emanates from Kazo k a zuu FM in
0:08
Pacific Grove California it's broadcast number 681 December the 24th 1984 just one more
0:17
program on New Year's Eve next week and then we tuck this year away for Better
0:23
or For Worse we have survived the year of 1984 but as Ronald Reagan said at the
0:30
time that he won the election you ain't seen nothing yet and with that grin on his face we don't know what he means by
0:37
that so some of us will have to wait and see last week uh I finished the broadcast number
0:43
680 with uh sections from a book called The Year of Armageddon the these
0:49
sections were mailed to me by some friends in the East the authors are Gordon Thomas Max Morgan it's from
0:55
Granada press London 1984 and I'm sure that Tom Davis out here in Capitola an
1:02
Aptos will be carrying this book and you can order from him but the importance of
1:07
this uh particular chapter has to do that I've been referring to has to do with Wild Bill Donovan William Donovan
1:15
his close relationship to the Vatican and how he was kned with the highest
1:20
order of the Vatican he was the chief of the OSS and then helped form the Central
1:25
Intelligence Agency and from the OSS days working closely with the Vatican
1:32
and simultaneously with Nazis such as hinry Kimler and SS Carl wolf and a
1:38
whole bag of Nazis Reinhardt Galen and the Aerospace Nazis with with that uh
1:44
Team of the Vatican and the Nazis and the American intelligence working together when the war was over the bonds
1:50
got even closer because they had now to coexist with Russia which the Vatican
1:56
and the United States Pentagon never wanted anyway and when the CIA was formed it we have our officials in Rome
2:03
it became the official Espionage uh Department of the United States government but it also is a military
2:10
branch just as the Knights of Malta are a military branch The Sovereign military
2:16
means military if you look in the dictionary Sovereign is the supreme power and authority and Military relates
2:23
to soldiers arms or War well the Vatican doesn't have men in uniform that go out
2:29
and fight or tanks or airplanes but it has the power over the members of the
2:34
church to tell them put on a uniform to tell them don't resist these people to
2:40
tell them to confess to political stories even or political actions that they're doing and uh they are very much
2:49
a part the Vatican and the intelligence community of running the world and the
2:54
intelligence Community can tell the Pentagon and tell Congress what to vote because we are in danger here or there
3:01
they are the intellectual military but they are the military because you can't get the uniforms on and the war going
3:08
without the idea first of who are your friends or who are your enemies so this book says that the Knights of Malta
3:14
serves an ideal cover for William Casey because he can operate under the organization of the Knights of Malta and
3:22
it becomes military from the Vatican and Casey is the chief director of the CIA
3:28
at home the book says that both the CIA and the Vatican know that is essential
3:33
for the pope never to be seen openly or Alig himself with the political aims of the CIA and I talked about that last
3:40
week you can't be seen walking in and out of the door every day the CIA briefing him once a week is enough and
3:45
it says working through an order such as the Knights of Malta The Sovereign
3:50
military Order of Malta the country's leading Catholics and the CIA have a
3:55
wider distance away from each other on an official lever level but they can
4:01
meet H what you describe as casually and still get together and and they appear
4:08
to keep the distance away each from each other so that the pope and the CIA station Chief in Rome appear to have
4:16
this distance so that they're not constantly having eye contact but their messages in between those men that have
4:22
been made Knights of Malta for the military part of protecting the Roman Church the book says the CIA in Rome can
4:30
brief the pope once a week and we talked about that they can give him a weekly briefing but the CIA would appear
4:36
unacceptable if the station Chief was in and out of the Pope's office every day and uh I I shared that with you last
4:43
week and we'll go on from there it says nowadays William Casey doesn't have to fly to Rome he doesn't even telephone
4:50
the Vatican he has powerful emissaries in the order the Knights of malda the Sovereign military order who ConEd
4:58
conveyed John Paul and an informal way what the CIA wants the Vatican to do
5:04
William Casey the CIA director has a wide choice of Messengers thousands of
5:09
more to send to Rome some of these Knights are secret we don't know who they are I'd like to know who they are
5:16
some are well known like Leia cokus barus scus Robert appap that was the
5:21
Godfather of Ronald of Richard Nixon's children he used to Nixon fly down to his place for briefings Baron Hilton and
5:29
they mentioned uh three others in this book maybe more later in the book but in this chapter William Simon Robert Wagner
5:38
and Claire loose now that those three are important in addition to the ones I
5:44
mentioned but how does the Vatican and the the policy of the military order of
5:49
the Vatican affect domestic policy William Simon is on the board of helion etics making the laser beams and Star
5:58
Wars that the Russians do not want to get into with us the weapons up in space
6:03
and he works with Edward Teller of the hydrogen bomb and Admiral Hayward I mention these names many times but every
6:09
time he comes up with a new appointment uh or something that's pertinent I want to repeat it till you really understand
6:16
how far-reaching they are William Simon was the former chairman of the Olympics and I wonder what would have happened if
6:22
the Soviet Union had appeared and he recently it seems or was just exposed recently is being on the team of kissing
6:29
or in a Associates working with Henry Kissinger and Lawrence Eagle Berger in the defense department on that
6:35
mysterious Advisory Group under the name of Henry Kissinger Associates another
6:40
member that they side here is Robert Wagner the former mayor of New York the he's the presidential Envoy to the holy
6:47
sea well it was his law office of Mr Wagner and Weiss and Simon rifken that
6:55
set up the uh Corporation papers for autovon bullwin the head of reinart
7:01
galen's domestic operations when Galen went back to Germany to be working with
7:06
the BND Hitler's chief of Intelligence on the East uh Galen was kned by the
7:12
Vatican and Robert Wagner a knight can travel and in the offices with Mr
7:17
riffkin clar loose I have mentioned many times before and again it's in this book
7:23
that's why I'm bringing up again is a knight of Malta well Henry loose is P
7:28
long gone he passed away a few years ago but Lifetime and Fortune are sports illustrator very political and probably
7:34
the two most political covers that I remember on the cover of Life magazine when Henry loose was alive one was the
7:41
picture of Lee Harvey oswal the famous picture holding the rifle and the Shadows under his nose aren't the same
7:47
as the Shadows where the rifle Falls and Oswald saw it when he was alive and said that the picture was uh cut around and
7:54
that it wasn't his body it was his head and not his body and the picture of Charles Manson the time of the Manson
8:00
killings to make appear that hippies and the deranged musician the music cult
8:05
group killed Sharon Tate and Mr palansky and everyone in that house um those two
8:13
covers are very political statements because they are facts of disinformation in other words they're not facts at all
8:19
they're trying to project a thought in your mind that will be locked in there but in which in fact isn't the way it
8:26
was told and it was done for a purpose of prom propaganda now left out of the
8:31
list and I won't run down there politics because you know how important they are and think of them as passing Messengers
8:38
in and out of the Vatican is J Peter Grace William Buckley James Buckley Alexander heg Patrick folley Jeremiah
8:45
Denton and we could go on for many many more this book says all these persons have a common Bond they have the ability
8:53
to call the Vatican switchboard and ask to be connected to extension 3101 to the Pope's desk at any time they
9:00
want they are knighted and of course James Jesus Angleton is a knight of Malta and uh you can't uh pass off the
9:09
envoy to the Vatican Mr Wilson William Wilson now Wilson was formerly in charge
9:14
of Ronald Ran's personal finances he's one of the two men that takes credit for
9:21
sending the Vatican Envoy from the United States of the Vatican something
9:26
this country hasn't done for many many many years uh Robert Keith Gray is proud that he
9:32
did that and the second man who takes credit for having a knight of Malta as ambassador to the Vatican is Senator
9:39
Richard Lugar the now head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who has close ties to the Vatican now Mr lugar's
9:48
name is controversial I brought it up a while back on allegations that he was
9:53
funded or picked up money from a Nazi in Switzerland at the time time of
9:59
Nixon's elections I talked about that on broadcast number 600 in
10:05
1983 and also another broadcast on Senator Lugar uh there were two that I
10:11
did two tapes on Lugar one on 620 and one on 600 if you want to look them up
10:17
one story broke in the newspaper the uh Senator Lugar bizarre scheme Swiss bank
10:23
and transfer of money that was it was titled and it had to do with the signature of hor Horus SEMA a fugitive
10:30
and Nazi war criminal living in Spain who wrote a check that Lugar had picked
10:36
up and put into a Swiss bank for funds for the Republican party there are many
10:42
Links of non Nazi war criminals such as lisso jelly uh and other Nazis many of
10:48
them funding the GOP and lined up with the GOP Nicol Mao and the office of
10:53
Richard Nixon the book wanted search for the Nazis by Mr bloom goes into Nazis
10:59
live in America but the most controversial is the one that goes into Richard Nixon's office and uses it as a
11:05
dummy front in Whittier now this last election to show you how important these
11:11
Vatican links are and how they can affect our Congress uh there was election in November and Senator Charles
11:18
Percy wanted the nomination he's in Illinois and he was pushed out of the
11:24
seat by a gentleman named Michael goand g l n d from Los Angeles and goand moved
11:31
to Illinois for one year and took up a residency and put in a million dollars
11:36
to defeat Percy now this Goan has links to Israel but the article on the uh
11:43
fellow in Los Angeles Times December the 5th said a man who helped topple Senator
11:49
pery won't say why now what happened when Senator Percy didn't win the
11:54
election in November to go back to the Senate he was in charge of the Senate Foreign Relations committee so by his
12:01
being out of the Foreign Relations Committee Senator Richard Lugar took the position so somebody who has possibly
12:08
worked with a Nazi war criminal with taking money into Swiss banks from
12:13
Madrid um who has ties to Nazis and to the Vatican is in charge of the Senate
12:21
Foreign Relations Committee the overt purpose of this toppling of Mr Golan as
12:26
I say is that he is pro-israel but the story of his money seems to be secret and the point is that uh somebody close
12:34
to the Vatican might have wanted Lugar to be head of the Foreign Relations
12:40
Committee he's close to the Ambassador that he wanted in he pushed that along
12:46
with Robert Keith Gray and he also in November got his promotion into the
12:52
Senate and I think it's significant the way our Senators are soon to be moved
12:57
out and bought so that the liking of them you know whatever the Vatican or the CIA wants unlimited money will pour
13:06
23 million into Jesse Helms uh in North Carolina money not identifiable from
13:13
sources all over the world can come and push these men out until we get a senate
13:18
that is all of One mind no controversy and behind it all is the possibility of
13:24
the Vatican movers of William Casey and the various agents William Wilson and
13:30
people traveling back and forth as Knights of Malta this book says William
13:35
Casey of the CIA and William Wilson were two people that told the Pope that the
13:40
about Liberation theology that it is in quotes the greatest danger the church faces in Latin America Liberation
13:48
theology is political activism of priests it means to liberate you from the death squads of El Salvador to
13:55
liberate you from Samoa to divide up the property to feed the poor educate them
14:02
and have a better land use so the Central Intelligence Agency through Casey and Wilson say to the pope as if
14:09
this osa's Pope didn't know it that is the greatest danger the church the church in other words you will suffer
14:15
rcia has told us that if you don't do something about Liberation theology your
14:21
church the Vatican will suffer so the chapter in this book goes on the CIA through their briefly
14:29
weekly briefings to the pope and both through that and the Knights of Malta
14:35
keep telling the Vatican of their strategy and it's formulated earlier by
14:40
the predecessor really Richard Helms and they helped the Vatican on how to combat
14:46
clerical dissidence as if the Vatican needs that help but they're Whispering or yelling into the Pope's ear so that
14:54
Casey as a knight of Malta his excuse is in quotes he only has has the good of
14:59
the church in mind well I don't know if the church in mind is what William Casey
15:05
should have there is the United States of America and our interest may not be
15:11
the same as the church the church and the CIA are pushing inquisitions and
15:16
Crusades and if you don't like the Spanish Crusades in Madrid or you don't know about them get a few history books
15:24
and look that up uh $30 million last week was given by by the intelligence
15:30
community and the defense department to Mr pinet in Chile in spite of the repressions and the rounding up of one
15:36
or 2,000 of the youth and as I said last week Mr Doan was honored last week for
15:43
what he did in El Salvador admitting that he did set up the death squads in
15:48
El Salvador where there are 50,000 people dead so why Mr Casey thinks he
15:54
has the church in mind the good of the church in mind somewhere along theine line there should be breaks put on this
16:00
where we say are the interests of the Catholic Church identical with the interests of the many people in the
16:07
United States of America who don't approve of wiping out those middlemen
16:13
the the priests the nuns the archbishops who are trying to better the lives of the very poor people that they have to
16:19
work with now in the book The Year of Armageddon they tell about the briefing
16:25
of the church do gooders the people who try to help the priests and they Snidely
16:31
remark about them as do gooders and one of the examples is Father Romero down in
16:37
El Salvador the CIA trains and finances police forces in Latin America that have
16:43
tortured murdered Bishops and Archbishop priests and nuns and these men are
16:49
asking Mr Thomas and Morgan how is that the Vatican goes along with that when
16:54
members of their own church are being killed well they're told that those people who were killed are enemies of
17:00
the state because they have Liberation theology so there's no contradiction in being killed if you don't think like the
17:08
people at home think which is good for the Vatican this book goes on John Paul's Vatican Envoy to Washington DC p
17:16
lji l a ghi knows that the US Institute for
17:21
religion and democracy the initials ird was established in 1981 3 years ago and
17:28
has receive funds from the American institutions previously acted as CIA
17:33
monetary Outlets the Vatican knows that the CIA is already funding The Institute
17:39
for religion and democracy and Mr poi's work with that and it goes on to say the
17:47
ird is currently engaged in a powerful campaign against Church activists who do
17:52
not agree with the Reagan Administration or the policies in El Salvador or Latin America where they oppose the repressive
18:00
regimes so hand inand uh the uh POI and
18:06
he is the Vatican Envoy to our government now the governments have exchanged ambassadors he's the
18:12
equivalent of the Ambassador from the Vatican to uh Washington DC now just a
18:18
few weeks ago November the 11th 1984 in the London Times there's a story about
18:24
our ambassador from the Vatican the current ambassador who gets these brief and works with the Pope Mr pagi and the
18:32
title of the article is Nuno at death camp this comes out of the London Times
18:38
it says the Pope's Envoy to Washington monor pagi has been accused of having
18:43
toured a camp in 1976 setting up set up by the ruling Hunter to murder left
18:49
Wingers lji as a Papal Envoy to Argentina before he was the envoy to the
18:55
United States he was down there in Argentina kept silent the secret of these murders for 5 years he was guarded
19:02
the camp is the noeva baviera camp in the tukman provin newspapers of the time
19:08
this is going back to 1976 said that Lei I I hope I'm pronouncing that right say he lectures
19:15
to the soldiers in the barracks who do the killings on the need to protect Argentina from the dangers of outside
19:24
forces he goes there he's going there in 1976 and for five years talking to the
19:30
men in case they had a conscience on the necessity to protect Argentina that
19:36
they're endangered from an invasion of ideas of foreign ideas so Lai was
19:42
helping The Men Who tortured and uh 30,000 people were murdered which is
19:48
according to this article a euphemism for they were missing which is a euphemism for being murdered now there
19:55
14 other Bishops were named in the newspaper clipping going back to that time period I guess they thought nobody
20:01
would ever look this up just as Alan delas thought nobody would read the Warren Commission exhibits and hearings
20:08
at least 14 other Bishops and high-ranking clergy in Argentina were regular visitors that death camp one
20:14
priest traveled to three camps to absolve the guilt of the torturers the
20:19
role of the priest there was to tell the torturers it's all right kids because
20:26
the worst thing that can happen to Argent Ina is to be endangered by an invasion of ideas you can't have a new
20:34
idea so kill these people because they have maybe a new idea on how to go grow
20:40
crops how to divide the land how to build shelters lowcost housing all of
20:45
these are dangerous ideas health care or even changing the president the
20:51
president now as a democracy he's been trying to investigate the murders that took place in Argentina and that's why
20:58
these artic are coming out then London Times said none of the priests none of the Vatican ever denounced the military
21:05
Hunt's dirty tricks where these 30,000 disappeared this information that just
21:11
came out this last November according the London times has made the Vatican Furious it has enraged the Vatican
21:18
because the new president R Al alanine has revealed the secret list of those
21:24
who cooperated with the killings and the torture in the Vatican and among them
21:29
was the Nuno at the death camp po lii the current ambassador from the Vatican
21:36
to Ronald Reagan so you can imagine what he thinks on current Central American Affairs after advising tortures and sure
21:44
with the permission of the Pope that it's koser and okay one survivor of the death camps uh provide information the
21:51
London Times about this he's living in Spain he's afraid he'll be killed he's gotten death threats and he p L saw Mr
21:59
Le there and in fact he was interviewed by him or saw him in the prison and he
22:05
asked him did your family know where you were because these people were taken away and this is one fellow who was lucky enough to live and he promised
22:13
them this Vatican Envoy that he called the family and say he saw him which he never did in conclusion on this section
22:21
on the Vatican the CIA uh these authors say the pope is aware of both the CIA and their links
22:28
with one of his favorite secret societies the Opus day the pope knows that the CIA is linked to the Opus day
22:37
we might have figured this out with the kind of bit prominent people in there but this is uh a time where it is
22:42
reprinted in a book so you can see it and it goes on to say the Opus day in Chile receives indirect financial
22:49
support from the Central Intelligence Agency the agency provides Opus day with
22:55
evidence of Jesuits who challenge the papal pronouncement can you imagine
23:00
anything so sickening or Insidious as this going very slowly on this I have a lot of material but I can't think of
23:07
anything worse the CIA tells the Opus day of evidence of particular Jesuits
23:14
who challenge the papal pronouncements or who are involved in political causes
23:19
the CIA opposes so in addition to snitching at all other levels the Opus
23:25
day is a group that functions for the Vatican as well as a sovereign military
23:31
Sovereign military Order of Malta it goes on it was the CIA who suggested to
23:36
John Paul that he should encourage the Opus day to begin working in Poland uh
23:42
one time it was revealed that the pope gave Le Wella $50 million and later
23:48
there's sort of a scandal because there wasn't a trace of what the money went to just for demonstrations and in
23:53
conclusion it says the Vatican and the CIA will always reach each other through the church Institution there is besides
24:00
the CIA there's the nights of Malta and the Opus day now is there a solution to this yes cut off every public official
24:09
who is appointed or nominated who has an allegiance to the Church of Rome and only allow if you're going to have
24:15
Catholic people working for you let them be good Catholics or P Catholics and not
24:21
the kind that promise they'll do the snitching and do the kind of work that the Opus day and the kns of Malta are
24:28
doing their obedience shouldn't always be to the Church of the Roman Empire there are other things at stake here and
24:35
people have to learn to get live along with each other so and the Vatican feels better dead than red so they encourage
24:42
the snitches and then the pressure comes down these people lose jobs lose homes and are killed a very dangerous
24:49
situation and many of those names every time they come up in the news in another format I'll run them down again because
24:56
they are prominent in decision-making policies right here in the United States they affect the entire world now another
25:03
group of people that are just as dangerous as the Knights of Malta and I have to slip this in before I get back
25:10
to Mr Wild Bill Donovan are these private armies that are formed that are
25:15
raising money on their own with the D in quotes on their own with the defense
25:20
department with the the CIA when Congress says we sent enough to those people we have no record of what they do
25:27
with it or they're torturing there's too many death squads when the elected members of 50 states are sent to
25:33
Congress and the congressman vote on a certain issue and goodness knows it's hard to get an agreement on that issue
25:39
if the certain persons affiliated with violence and killings and counter
25:45
Espionage and guilla warfare don't like the decisions of the elected government
25:50
they go out on their own and I have a large amount of Articles piled up on just that fact but the Washington Post
25:57
at a very important story December the 10th 1984 on this that epitomizes how
26:03
Insidious this is and this is really the seeds this is our Gusto because it links
26:10
to those same Christian fundamentalists that I talked about last week and the week before the Nazis and clans there
26:16
are direct connections of these people to the men in Idaho and to their National and international Roots now the
26:23
title of the Washington Post story is private groups press Contra a
26:29
the title says they press it after you read the story they've already given Millions it says they've raised millions
26:36
they have given out Millions down to South America this is the way the article goes a network of conservative
26:43
activists of military and intelligence officials including several members of a
26:49
pentagon advisory panel on Central America have stepped up efforts efforts to funnel money private money that they
26:56
call humanitarian uh Aid to the Nicaragua Rebels John singl is one of
27:04
those people in charge of this retired General John singl president of the world anti-communist league raises
27:11
500,000 a month from wealthy citizens and groups since Congress cut off the
27:16
back for the CIA funds and I'm sure you've read this before how they funding the contct John ziglam works with the
27:23
Nazis from he works out of Taiwan works with Reverend Moon and Mr asakawa with
27:29
Pinos in Chile around the world he's on the board of Western goals that's still functioning and was part of that go
27:36
board when 100,000 was placed in Los Angeles to take documents on people who
27:42
were law-abiding citizens in 1975 and in the 60s that were order destroyed and
27:47
feeding them into these computers with that mysterious John Reese from London
27:52
and John ree Reese's wife Louise was on the staff of Senator Joe McCarthy
27:58
they're not their track record shows are not on any humanitarian activities and
28:03
all of a sudden they Halo so bright you can hardly read the article because they want to send humanitarian material to uh
28:11
these countries to protect the death squads in El Salvador and the torture there and to put the Samoa people back
28:19
into power in Nicaragua it says sing La has raised as I say 500,000 a month sing
28:25
loud will do what the defense department wants and the defense department does
28:31
what sing laab wants and in this article it melts the two it says sing laab and others have not only sent millions of
28:38
dollars in uniforms food medicine and other Aid to Honduras El Salvador and
28:43
Guatemala but the defense department has helped coordinate their aid they're
28:49
doing this and as I say it says because Congress cut off the money the elected officials cut it off the defense
28:56
department works with them s La who was recalled from South Korea by Jimmy Carter formed a private Institute to
29:03
train police forces in El Salvador and possibly the contas and soldiers if the
29:09
United States government will not that doesn't sound very humanitarian to me he
29:14
has an Institute called The Institute for regional and international studies in Boulder Colorado which is run by
29:21
Alexander mcll from Soldiers of Fortune he's the military Affairs editor of
29:27
soldiers of fortune and of course you get the Mr Brown of Soldiers of Fortune
29:33
with a Christian Defense League The Fringe area of the uh fight it out
29:38
yourself we'll go in and do it cut them up and slice them up if your government will let us we have Soldiers of Fortune
29:45
sing La and the Pentagon working together briefing and helping each other
29:51
we'll take a one minute break and get back to this story in about one minute
30:02
this is May Brussel it's broadcast number 681 December the 24th 1984 this is side
30:10
two of this tape uh John singl on the board of Western goals a Warrior from
30:17
Guerilla tactics and warfare in Southeast Asia and around the globe particularly in Southeast Asia working
30:24
with the Pentagon having a meeting with the Pentagon he set up his own Institute
30:29
in Colorado and The Institute is run by Mr McCall of the soldier of fortune and
30:35
uh solder of Fortune of course has uh gor L to their conventions and Gordon Noel and the late Mitchell wbel and the
30:43
various far right Savages I call them Savages of our uh spy systems all
30:49
coordinated and working together and all part of the perex operation I'll get back to the OSS and the perex uh the
30:58
ossi Donovan connections because all of these people are a product of it and I
31:04
have to take the current news and show you how they're acting in the present as well as in the past now this article
31:10
goes on the Washington Post sing loud met with the defense department in May of 1984 to study the wars in Central
31:17
America and ADV offer advice on US military history now if you think of the
31:23
failures of what these military men and retired intelligence and generals have
31:28
behind them uh what they've done with a dictatorship in Bolivia and what they
31:34
with Mr uh balazar before the current government changed hands and that will
31:40
be out by May or June of 1985 the relationship with the cocaine King in
31:45
Bolivia and the Nazis there and the relationship of sing laab to Southeast Asia and n nanhan and the dope pouring
31:52
into this country and the Fascism and Taiwan and the policies of this country
31:58
they have been a failure in so many countries and all of a sudden they become experts on military history at
32:04
the Pentagon Nation magazine ran a story by Peter Stone on this meeting in May
32:10
and he said it was held at the request of Fred kley the under Secretary of the defense for of defense for policy sing
32:18
loud plus many veterans of the Guerilla Warfare of the Philippines Korea and
32:23
South Vietnam included retired General Edward G Lansdale and general HC
32:30
anderol I know Charles's hair will stand on in when you understand it how much he
32:35
has studied Lansdale and anyone wants to know the policies of Southeast Asia you studyed Lansdale so here we have
32:42
Lansdale the Soldiers of Fortune which are the private armies then the sing
32:48
laabs who are again the secret private armies then with the defense department that are over armies but are doing
32:55
actions that are not allowed by Congress so so really they are a government into
33:00
and by themselves there's no other way you could slice it in the book deadly deceits Ralph McGee discusses just a
33:07
little bit about Lil I could say many many stories about him but because he is advising on Guerilla Warfare in the
33:15
Central America remember Henry Kissinger their buddy and uh the armchair buddy of all these Fells went over to Central
33:21
America First and put suggestions into order that they're working on now in the
33:27
book Dead deceits it describes how the OSS during the war the office of oss the
33:33
predecessor of the CIA and this again goes back to Donovan before there was a CIA and and Donovan was the head of the
33:40
OSS had agents Stag and over with Vietnam and they worked in cooperation
33:45
the Vietnamese with the OSS and the OSS gave them weapons and ammunition to
33:50
train the grill into an organized Army and once the Japanese surrendered in
33:55
August of 1945 these people thought they would be free and have a democracy for the first time
34:02
and by 1945 Vietnam was for the first time in the history free of foreign
34:07
domination then when the French begin to pull out the Americans come in and take over and the US policy makers decided
34:15
the French lost their will to fight in Vietnam the Vietnamese helped fight the Japanese and wanted their own country so
34:23
the French say well we'll get out now they wanted and they fought against the Japanese the French get out and lo and
34:30
behold in comes Mr DM handpicked by the National Security Council August the
34:35
20th 1954 and it sites the example DM was supposed to broaden the governmental
34:42
base elect an assembly and take over the French are out now and the DM is going
34:48
to be there in Vietnam just building up to our friend Mr Lansdale once the
34:53
decision was made overnight the CIA intelligence had to decide on the
34:58
situation in Vietnam the French would be out the decision is made we'll take over let's put in DM DM now was portrayed as
35:06
The Miracle Worker who was saving Vietnam to make the illusion a reality the CIA undertook a series of operation
35:14
that help him turn South Vietnam into a vast police state from the Democracy to
35:20
The Miracle Worker the purpose of these operations was to force the native South Vietnamese to accept the Catholic
35:26
Mandarin DM and here's Donovan the importance of the Vatican being united by the Vatican the military order of the
35:33
Vatican uh the soldier the The Sovereign military order that Soldier says we'll
35:40
put in a Catholic Mr DM and make a police state if you don't want to be a Catholic you'll have a police state so
35:47
DM through Donovan and then Mr Casey is Protege also and many of the CIA that
35:54
were Knights of Malta but particularly Donovan's hands over there in Southeast Asia they made DM the a head of the
36:02
Catholic man they and he was selected by US policy makers to provide an alternative to Communism in Vietnam if
36:10
you don't want the Russians if you don't want communism and divide up the property take our Catholic puppet Mr DM
36:18
McGee says it was a strange Choice from 1950 to 1953 while hose forces were
36:24
earning the Loyalty of the people fighting the French Mr DM a short fussy
36:29
Bachelor was in the United States at the Marinol Cemetery in New Jersey and New
36:35
York uh Mr Donovan uh Raymond Donovan Secretary of Labor uh studied at these
36:41
Catholic places that wanted to be a priest Mr DM was at the seminaries in
36:46
New Jersey New York as a good Catholic DM arrived in Saigon in mid1 1954 and
36:52
was greeted by Colonel Edward Lansdale the CIA man in South am and the head of
36:58
the agency Saigon military Mission DM was opposed by virtually every element
37:04
of South Vietnamese society and this is so important because we're going to let Mr Lansdale and Mr sing laab and these
37:12
various uh people from Soldier of Fortune decide for these poor people
37:17
down in Central America who will run them and who will run their countries and if they don't take who we want we'll
37:23
split their bellies open and pour the salt in and gouge out their eyes Mr Lansdale decided every element of
37:31
South Vietnamese Society bow D's followers the pro French religious sex
37:37
the Buddhist B bod Dai was one who had captured their interest or mind his
37:43
followers were the pro- French the religious sect the Buddhist The Remnant nationalist organizations and of course
37:49
followers of hoochi men he had no troops no police no government no means of
37:54
enforcing his rule but what he did have was the complete support of Colonel Lansdale who came in and all the money
38:02
and all the Manpower and the weapons and training and propaganda and the political Savvy in the cia's covert
38:10
action chest and to create DM's government to take over then uh from those followers to create that Lansdale
38:17
was behind operating teams in North Vietnam he stimulated North Vietnamese
38:22
Catholics and the Catholic armies to Desert and come South and the teams would be promised Catholic Vietnamese
38:29
assistance out of the Vatican and New Opportunities if they would immigrate and to help contribute to this to they
38:37
would tell the people up north they had brochures that they handed and leaflets they passed out telling them that the
38:43
Viet Vietnam uh what to expect of the citizens in the new government that they
38:49
attributed to the northern Vietnamese what was going to happen to them if they stayed there so they appealed to the
38:56
Catholics to come down get support fight the army do any lies you want and the covert action began now that is Mr lale
39:04
just one little page on a long career sitting there in the Pentagon with General HC an anderholt a andd e r h o
39:14
LT eight people met in the defense department in May of 1984 and they had a
39:20
decision to move from the conventional Warfare in El Salvador the conventional
39:25
Warfare has only killed 50,000 so far and kept the property in the hands of those 14 families but they're going to
39:33
improve improve and increase the emphasis on psychological warfare civil
39:38
action and break into small units Ander hold heads a 1500 member 1500 member of
39:44
air Commando Association at Fort Walton Beach in Florida and so they came in to
39:49
advise them what you need is what soldier of Fortunes shows in their magazines month after month Mr Brown
39:56
pushes what uh Mr mcco pushes what Mr Sing Loud pushes all tied together and
40:02
working in the defense department uh and having their own Institute for regional
40:09
and international studies in Boulder Colorado and they're going to get the
40:14
defense department to do what Congress doesn't want to do and emphasize which
40:19
kind of weapons is transferred for other ones and the article goes on with the kind of weapon substitute which is Tech
40:27
tecal but which is ridiculous and one of the points of this article is that they're going to send in medical
40:33
supplies for these people that this is all humanitarian now all you have to do
40:39
is take the people that we're meeting and take what they've published and take where they've lived and use the examples
40:45
of the countries they've been to and you know there's more than medicine and food and clothing going on in this operation
40:52
now they went on to say they've raised millions of dollars Mr anderol and the defense Department in quotes hasn't
40:58
helped much because of congressional opposition but they have offered to help them in some ways their big problem they
41:06
say in quotes is the Liberals in Congress you see the bleeding hearts and the Liberals would ruin everything for
41:12
them now sing La has another organization he has many of them I have his name on many many groups where he
41:19
gets help from the pedon he has the institute for regional and international studies in Boulder Colorado on how to
41:26
use these other types of warfare that's one group that's formed
41:31
now and the other is the US Council for World freedom and this admittedly in the
41:36
Washington Post received substantial coordinating help from the Pentagon so
41:42
tell me the difference why not just say the United States is at war against the
41:47
Nicaraguan government Declare War uh which we really have done but we hide it
41:53
through these various organizations it's so Insidious uh the way they behind the operations and yet in a way they're not
41:59
hidden they're in the newspaper but Congress seems to not be able to put the brakes on because when they vote no
42:04
you've had enough or no Mr dardy still has all these massacres or death no we
42:10
don't like what's going on we want some accountability well then they have meetings at the defense department
42:15
between MCO and sing La and Lansdale and all the sleazy rot from the last years
42:23
that's been going on last 20 years and before but obviously what they did in LA
42:28
and Cambodia and Vietnam is a horrible mess just as the Vietnam the Middle East
42:34
advisers Henry kissing here helping Middle East and Asia now Central America
42:39
uh Middle East is a mess of what's going on with Syria Iraq Iran and Lebanon all
42:45
of our policies these have been failures these advisors are mentally sick they are actually psychologically sick and
42:52
what's more sick is that they always get together to think who they can ruin next and they don't look back and realize who
42:59
they're hurting or how they're hurting and they're just drunk on their own power and because these people go beyond
43:06
the reach of what Congress votes or wants you can't say enough about them and I have many many articles on this
43:12
gang but they are a threat because again when America has food riots when there's
43:18
unemployment if the banks collapse if there are people gunned down like Mr
43:24
Berg the radio announcer in Colorado by one of their cohorts and buddies if the
43:29
clan and the Nazis had taken Dominica and the fact that they fail doesn't mean they won't take other Islands when these
43:35
people work together and have everything else they want there's only one thing left and that's America the United
43:42
States of America that's us keep looking at us because these people have our tax
43:48
money they have the approval there's no breaks on this car this motor is going fast down the hole and the same sleazy
43:56
characters who should have been removed after Vietnam for the agent orange for The Phoenix Program for the tiger cages
44:02
for the torture they should have been retired and sent to some kind of a funny farm and bring in new people because the
44:09
old way didn't work it bankrupted us our people from Vietnam are divided they're
44:15
sick they're drugged they fill the prisons they have nightmares and diseases from the chemicals that were
44:21
there why is it that they are allowed to come home and put on their uniforms
44:26
again and go into the institutions that we have here and start all over with another piece of territory another
44:32
country and break it up until as I say nothing is left in America then they'll be sitting in the Pentagon as they have
44:39
already with the garden plot and and their FEMA the Federal Emergency to
44:45
decide then what to do for us they already have their chain of command ready and then we become the final and
44:52
the last victims and someday maybe the Soviet Union will have to free and save
44:57
us before they can be free to fight those people that will take control and have control of our government we may be
45:04
rescued by Russia someday so don't be too hard on them now getting back to Donovan and the roots of this disease
45:11
we're talking about the over cancers on this body politic that's what John Dean
45:17
told Nixon those messages didn't uh last too long people don't remember that part
45:22
of it but where did the roots of this come this dawn of the Osa say with the
45:27
Vatican written in the book on the Armageddon the Armageddon how about Donovan the OSS with southeast Asia
45:35
going back to a few pages on Donovan and the control of news media and propaganda
45:40
and the power and to remind you of his work with Rockefeller Institute with Herbert Hoover and then with J Pont
45:47
Morgan and then forming this OSS that continue with the line of thought then
45:54
he went to England to William Stevenson and in tret and merge the intelligence mind control programs the psychological
46:00
warfare and the British intelligence with the United States intelligence plus the Vatican Sovereign military kns of
46:08
Malta to represent the Vatican interest at the same time this pages are from
46:13
1224 to 126 that I'm referring to in the book by car Corey Ford on Donal for the
46:19
OSS it says in Washington DC in the building the National Health Institute
46:26
uh up The Institute was evacuated and moved upstairs and in that building the COI was born the office of coordinator
46:34
of information coordinator of information the COI was born down below
46:41
the National Health Institute which is a marvelous place for Donovan to be because when World War II was over and
46:47
in the OSS he was put on the board of the American Cancer Society and I cited
46:52
just last week two weeks ago how our government tested giving live can cancer cells to people to spread the disease
46:59
not to cure in those buildings the National Health Institute they were moved upstairs Donovan's office of
47:05
coordinator of information took place the headquarters for Mr Donovan it started during the wartime with radio
47:12
broadcast against the Nazis and the uh certain people from the government
47:18
decided that they would study the broadcast and counteract them for what would eventually be like Radio free
47:23
Europe or um Radio America the uh propaganda Media or to counteract German
47:30
and Japanese propaganda at the time it started with radio broadcast against the Naes were and then it grew to combine
47:37
independent news networks with the war department and I'm just reading again the book on CBS the origins of CBS and
47:45
the roots of these new networks how they were independent stations and then to grew grow to be these networks after
47:52
December the 7th 1941 Pearl Harbor uh the independent American American
47:57
Broadcasting s industry the ABC NBC CBS The Independent American Broadcasting
48:03
industry that was not linked to the government or the military agencies became in quotes more Cooperative with
48:11
Donovan who was working as an American agent Robert Sherwood the playright
48:16
worked for Donovan in the OSS and he had a falling out over Donovan because he felt that the director of the COI the
48:23
coordinator of information uh shouldn't be against Franklin Roosevelt he hated
48:29
Franklin Roosevelt he hated the New Deal and he felt that it wasn't right to have
48:34
somebody uh is in charge of this like Donovan Roosevelt appointed him but it was probably the pressure from the
48:40
Morgans and uh that put him there you know in that position strategic position
48:46
of the OSS but Sherwood objected to the appointment of Donovan at the same time
48:51
he had been appointed the director for foreign information service when they were just for after Pearl Harbor and
48:58
they used the powerful NBC antenna from New Jersey to Paris and that's how the
49:04
networks became part of the war department and stayed that way ever since and the CI CBS transmitter was on
49:12
Long Island and this book says Colonel Donan believed that once a state of War
49:17
existed the propaganda arm should be exploited as a weapon of deception and
49:22
pro and subversion and should be under the military supervision vision and
49:28
there's a letter in this book to Franklin Roosevelt that Donovan sent now that we are at War foreign propaganda
49:35
must be employed as an instrument of War a judicious mixture of rumor and
49:41
discretion and mixing truth as bait to Foster disunity and confusion in support
49:48
of military operations that you use rumors you use deceptions and not much
49:55
description mostly deceptions and Truth a little bit of Truth to bait them give
50:01
them a little bit of truth then wh break them up and the main purpose is
50:06
confusion in military operations and he felt that propaganda is an arrow this is
50:12
Donovan propaganda is an arrow of initial penetration in preparing the
50:18
people of a territory where the invasion may be contemplated it is the first step
50:24
then comes the fifth column those the people inside the government they're going to make it collapse from
50:29
underneath and working with the press the Press comes in there and works with them then the militarized Raiders or the
50:37
Commandos and those are your special forces your soldiers of Fort uh Fortune
50:42
your green berad and so your Rangers finally the invading divisions when you
50:47
bring in the whole bang and group nothing has changed much even with the grade invasion they did this kind of
50:55
thing the confusions and the students needed rescuing and the papers saying they're in trouble their American
51:00
students may be hostages and then income the Commandos and finally the troops come in and that's the way it goes now
51:07
Robert Sherwood objected the tactics of Donovan that he wrote in this is a March
51:12
of 1942 and he told this is what he told Franklin Rosevelt and this is very
51:18
important to the matters we study now it seems a long time ago 1942 but it's
51:24
pertinent today and Robert Sherwood wrote this he said propaganda broadcast
51:29
should stick scrupulously to the facts and let the truth Prevail the American
51:36
Image overseas would suffer if we emulated the axis and it resorted to
51:42
lies and deceits the American Image would suffer the agency of news of
51:48
propaganda and Communications should be under civilian Direction and not be a
51:54
supporting arm of the military establishment which Mr Donovan wanted
51:59
because in time it would become an American gapo this is Robert cherwood
52:06
the well-known playright wrote the Petrified Forest one of my favorite stories or plays okay he is saying that
52:13
propaganda should stick if you want to tell them propaganda doesn't have to be a lie it's something you can say over
52:19
and over again like if we win the war we will give you all of you housing or we'll give you clothing or we will have
52:25
full employment you don't have to tell lies about your enemy tell the truth of what would
52:31
happen of you in the war what would be better he says when you emulate your enemy and their methods and you resort
52:38
to lies and deceits deceits it is a problem you will always suffer and never get over the agency of news propaganda
52:46
communication should be under civilian control I'm repeating this again civilian control because it should not
52:54
be the military branch of the establishment which Mr Donovan wanted
52:59
and which Mr Donovan got because in time it would become an American gestapo now
53:05
when Mr Truman resigned uh didn't resign he was out of office his time was up
53:11
when he stepped out he referred to the American gestapo that he had created when the CIA was formed in 1947
53:18
literally the Gustavo when Eisenhower left he talked about the military industrial establishment the military
53:26
EST establishment is what was referred to and the Gusto by this well-known
53:31
playright objecting to the uh Mr Donovan's tactics and remember at this
53:36
time in 1942 Mr Donovan had Mr morle on from the Vatican and had another purpose
53:42
that he was serving the Vatican church and he would be knited for it and he
53:48
would do things that Rome wanted that were not what the American government wanted but were okay for the Crusades
53:54
and the inquis position it was okay for them but America had our share of with
54:01
problems with slaves and the blacks and the Indians and to bring in possible inquisitions later or Gustavo is
54:08
something the United States does not need and didn't need now this book goes on Colonel William
54:14
Donovan uh during World War II kept working with the government agencies and
54:19
at the time in the news media business there was a proliferation of government information agencies he was working with
54:26
them there was the coi's foreign information service one with Robert Sherwood the offs the office of facts
54:33
and figures under archal mcclees the ogr the office of government reports the OCD
54:40
the office of Civilian defense the OEM the office Emergency Management now these communication agencies in 1942 to
54:48
45 were getting 30 million a year of government funds I heard somebody saying
54:55
on a talk show this week you shouldn't object to the nuclear Arrangements that Ronald Reagan has because he was elected
55:02
by a majority and that is so wrong he was true he was elected by a majority
55:08
but the problem is that the majority were only given the information that the ABC the NBC and CBS or Turner
55:16
Broadcasting gives you and it is all controlled very heavily controlled and
55:22
these people already were mingling with the government way back back then and it's hard to get decisions or facts to
55:29
the American people with that this kind of money $30 million of government funds
55:35
into the controlling of literally the minds of the people or what they're to know at that time now it goes on that
55:42
facts were elaborated and distorted some things were taken from Mr Sherwood's
55:47
office the foreign news editor Barn selected things of interest he handed them to writers and researchers they
55:54
were put on a private type and they weren't exactly what he said facts were
56:00
ingeniously elaborated or distorted just like they are today you can say the Russians have X amount 10 times more
56:08
than we have uh you can say that down in in Grenada that Mr Bishop Maurice Bishop
56:14
has an air strip solely for the purpose of Russia invading Central America facts
56:19
were distorted elaborated and taken from the foreign office and given to other
56:25
people in other words what Mr Sherwood s in wasn't what they got out in June of 1942 Mr Donovan left his Washington
56:33
offices and all these men with their $30 million in media linked up to the major networks and went to work with Colonel
56:40
men and Mr hambro and Lord mount baton over in London and this is very
56:45
important and by order 9182 they created the OSS in this OSS it
56:53
was formed where as soon as he gets to London and it was a more informal organization at the time of Pearl Harbor
56:59
with the British intelligence the secret British intelligence the Special Operations Executives from London Mr
57:05
hambro menes and mount baton names very important to the Future they created the OSS under the direction and supervision
57:12
of the joint Chief of Staff of the United States Army and they would take over the coordination of information so
57:19
that the joint chief of staff and the coordination of information that office then began to be in the hands of the
57:26
army with all those millions of dollars of propaganda the civilian aspect was swallowed up by Pentagon order
57:34
9182 that uh created the oss the the all the clear white propaganda was handled
57:41
by the office of War information and all the lies all the covert information all
57:47
the black propaganda was under William Donovan's oss the green light the
57:52
presidential order for the lies was given to Mr Donovan who two years later would be knited by the pope among 100
58:01
special people and then come home and form the CIA so this is the transfer very important item of the transfer of
58:08
the news media that first begins as one branch and then mingles with the uh
58:13
networks our major networks and then goes under the umbrella of the defense department when OSS was formed 9182
58:22
order it was to collect analyze strategic information and and here in quotes was one of the things that
58:28
Donovan wanted in quotes to enforce our will upon the Enemy by means other than
58:34
military action in support of actual or planned military operations including
58:40
unorthodox Warfare Guerilla activities resistance groups subversion and
58:47
sabotage the director of the OS would be William Donovan and here is the seed the
58:53
roots of what was planed for Southeast Asia then in 1945 and 1954 with Mr
59:01
Lansdale and Mr sing laab and all these people working Mr Donovan is dead but Mr
59:06
Casey's Protege is our CIA director and they sit there now and plan an orthodox
59:12
Warfare Guerilla activities resistance groups subversion to enforce our will
59:18
upon the enemy and we or they decide who is the enemy we have declared war
59:25
against Nicaragua because they didn't like Samoa our West Point graduate we declare war against the native
59:32
populations of these various countries against the poor masses of El Salvador if the majority won the election here in
59:40
this country let the majority vote vote in El Salvador after you throw the guns away so the point about Donovan is he
59:46
combined these agencies he took a great a trip to Great Britain he used their
59:52
British intelligence melted with ours as when Pearl Harbor was over and this was the beginning this was the roots and
59:59
then the man has the influence of his Knights of Malta to go in and out of the
1:00:04
Vatican to snitch on the priests to snitch on the nuns to force the lower
1:00:09
Echelon of the poor Catholics to shape up to what other fascist government you
1:00:15
want them to obey in to not think for themselves it's no different than jonest
1:00:21
toown Jim Jones people ask about cults these religions are Cults you take
1:00:26
orders you call the the headman father Yes father he becomes your father
1:00:32
replaces your natural father and then you are allowed to do what is black
1:00:39
propaganda covert operations Guerilla Warfare res breaking down resistance
1:00:44
groups subversion and sabotage which includes bloming places and blow blowing
1:00:50
up uh like the bolognia bombing the train stations and the tunnels where
1:00:56
people are killed and mutilated well our time is up now this is uh the end of this broadcast we can't stretch this
1:01:02
tape anymore but Donovan and the roots of our agencies are important and how
1:01:07
they operate are important and how they are working today in the Pentagon in Central America is terribly important
1:01:14
the Bloodshed just keeps rolling on and on it had a beginning and hopefully it'll have some end this is May Brussel
1:01:21
I'll be back with you next week you take care and have a good year that is coming along pretty soon

THE INQUISITION IN MINUTE DETAIL: THE FIRST HOLOCAUST
Cruelties committed by the Inquisition. Those who survive the first tortures are tied dom upon their backs, a large cauldron turned upside down is placed upon their naked stomachs, with a number of large dormice underneath. A fire is lighted upon the top of the cauldron, which enrages the dormice; and as they are unable to creep under the edges of the cauldron, they burrow into the entrails of the victim
OR NEARLY SIX CENTURIES, WROTE PETER DE ROSSA. "Not one of the eighty popes (from the thirteenth century to nineteenth) said a word against the diabolical machinery of the inquisition, rather they cach added their own cruel touch to the awful machinery of death. The Church of Rome, at times, even waded through the blood of Roman Catholics to get to the Protestant "heretics."
THE
The real object of the Inquisition, it has been asserted. "was to discover errors in doctrine, to stop them from being propagated, and endeavour to enlighten and to win back those who had been perverted by the apostles of error." So says a Catholic apologist. We are even told that "the popes were obliged to employ stratagem in order to protect the penitent heretics from the merciless severity of the Inquisition." But, the fact is that the Holy See, in 1215 at the fourth Lateran Council, in the
1 Peter de Rossa, Vicars of Christ: The Dark Side of the Papacy (1988).

The Inquisition In Minute Detail...
third canon of that Council declared that "the heretics who are condemned shall be handed over to the secular arm, in order that they may receive their merited punishment," in the MANNERS AND CUSTOMS OF THE MIDDLE AGES! Indeed, one historian, giving a detailed account of trials before the tribunals of the Inquisition, tell us that the civil punishment was only inflicted after the day of the Church's mock trial
called the Auto-da-fe ("Act of Faith").
In 1252, the pope even made a decree stipulating the exact details of how the prisoners of the Inquisition were to be tortured-including children from the age of twelve and upwards.
But for all its horrors, it was popish Spain that refined to an art the punishments Catholics invented to use against those who refused to accept their faith. In 1481, during the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella. the Inquisition was provided with "a new code of regulations," giving it even more formidable powers:
It was then that it got the name of The Holy Office, and was superintended by a grand inquisitor-general and a council.
When the Holy Office had a heretic, or anyone suspected of being one, lafter being arrested, its agents stripped the accused person of all he had about his person, and took a detailed inventory of his clothing and furniture.... The money so seized, whether in gold or silver, belonged by right to the tribunal, and went to defray the costs of the procedure. These formalities over, the accused...was taken to prison.
Of prisons, the Inquisition had several kinds: 1st, the common prison, in which were confined persons accused merely of ordinary misdemeanour, and who, consequently, were allowed to communicate with their families and friends; 2nd, the prison of mercy or of penitence, which was set apart for those who were to be detained only temporarily; 3rd, the intermediate prison, reserved for those who had committed some ordinary delinquency which brought them within the jurisdiction of the Holy Office; 4th, the secret prison, the inmates of which were kept in solitary confinement.
lon] the day of trial.... after a long interrogatory linterrogation). if the prisoner failed to avow his guilt, he was taken to the torture chamber, preceded by the Inquisitor and the four mystenous men in black.... Here he was again exhorted to abjure his errors, and, if these fresh entreaties were powerless to move lum, he was handed over to the torturer, who put him to the torture with one of the four agencies employed by justice-the cord, the scourge, fire, or water."

CODEWORD BARBELÓN Bk 2
Reader, we cannot find expressions strong enough to characterise the brutish, raw violence to which the Church of Rome had recourse with a view to establishing her anti-christian 'religion. John Lothrop Modey, speaking of papal persecution in the Netherlands, says: "Upon February 16, 1568, a sentence of the Holy Office (the Inquisition) condenmed ALL the inhabitants of the Netherlands to death as heretics.... The mos concise death warrant that was ever framed. THREE MILLIONS of people, men, women and children, were sentenced to the scaffold..." Although not put into full effect, "Alva's contemporary Grotius states that 100,000 genuine martyrs suffered death in the Netherlands for conscience' sake. Gibbon declared that this number, executed in a single province and a single reign, far exceeded that of the primitive martyrs in the space of three centuries and of the Roman Empire."
More than fifty million members of the human family are estimated to have been slaughtered under the sanction of the Catholic Church (Dowling, History of Rome. Bk. 8). How could such a degraded, inhumane, barbaric system claim to be the religion of Jesus Christ? Where in the Bible does it say the life of the heretic should be taken?
In Rome today, you will find, on the outside the Lateran Church, a plaque depicting Pope Innocent VIII's 1487 order against the Christian Waldenses (Vaudois or Albigenses) in these words: "That abominable sect of malignant to be crushed like venomous snakes." Why? They would not accept the pope as their head. R. W. Thompson writes:
The Waldenses were burned; they were cast into damp and bomd dungeons; they were smothered in crowds in mountain cavems mothers and babes, and old men and women together; they were sen out into exile in the winter night, unclothed and unfed, to climb the snowy mountains; they were hurled over the rocks; their houses and lands were taken from them; their children were stolen to be indoctrinated with the religion which they abhorred. Rap individuals were sent among them to strip them of their propert persecute and exterminate them. Thousands... old men, wouse and children, WERE HUNG, QUARTERED, BROKEN UPON THE WHEEL, OR BURNED ALIVE and their property confiscated...

The Inquisition In Minute Detail...
In 1209 (July 22nd), Pope Innocent III caused the Waldenstan town of Beziers to be taken by assault and made a scene of terrible camage: his "crusaders gave no quarter-twenty thousand inhabitants were massacred without distinction of age or sex, and seven thousand were burnt in a church in which they had taken refuge."
In a few decades, hundreds of thousands of Waldenses dissenters were killed by the Pope's army. Two cities, of considerable size, Beziers (Braziers) and Carcasone, were destroyed; their occupants thrown from the top of high cliffs, hanged, DISEMBOWELED, PIERCED THROUGH REPEATEDLY, drowned, put out to be tom by dogs, burnt alive, and even crucified! One victim, "Paul Garnier was slowly sliced to pieces at Rora. Thomas Margueti was mutilated in an indescribable manner at Miraboco, and Susan Jaquin cut in bits at La Torre, Sara Rostagnol was slit open from the legs to the bosom, and so left to perish on the road between Eyral and Lucerna. Anne Charbonnier was impaled and carried thus on a pike, AS A STANDARD, from San Giovanni to La Torre. Daniel Rambaud, at Paesano, had his nails torn off, then his fingers chopped off, then his feet and his hands, then his arms and his legs, with each successive refusal on his part to abjure the Gospel.... In June, 1556, Barthelemi Hector, of Poitiers, was burned at Turin, for having sold copies of the Bible to the shepherds of the Alps."
Said the same author. "On Saturday, 24th April, 1655, at four o'clock in the morning, the signal for a general massacre of the Vandois was given: Sick persons and old people, men and women, were burned alive in their houses, or hacked in pieces, or mutilated in horrible ways. or flayed alive, or exposed bound and dying to the sun's noontide heat, or to ferocious animals; some were stripped naked, bound up in the form of a ball... and then rolled over precipices... Next, alter massacre and abduction, came incendiarismr. monks and priests, and other zealous propagandists, went about with lighted torches and projectiles, burning down the houses.... lal sister had seen her brother's mouth filled with gunpowder, and the head then blown to atoms...." These people, "so simple, so Christian, were made a prey to the DEMON of popery, cruel in its superstition BEYOND THE CRUELTY OF THE
MOST BARBAROUS SAVAGES.

CODEWORD BARBELON BK 2
I shall next quote from one who was intimately acquainted with the Inquisition, Don Juan Antonio Llorente, derived from orginal documents in the archives of the Supreme Tribunal and those of the Subterranean Tribunals of the Holy Office. I quote Llorente from his Critical History of the Inquisition in Spain, cited in page 207 of History of the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella, Vol. 1, by William H. Prescott
Don Juan Antonio Llorente is the only writer who has succeeded in completely lifting the veil from the dread mysteries of the Inquisition. It is obvious how very few could be competent to this task, since the proceed. ings of the Holy Office were shrouded in such impenetrable secrecy, that even the prisoners who were arraigned before it, as has been already stated, were kept in ignorance of their own processes. Even such of its functionaries, as have at different times pretended to give its transactions to the world, have confined themselves to an historical outline, with meagre notices of such parts of its internal discipline as might be safely disclosed to the public.
Llorente was secretary to the tribunal of Madrid from 1790 to 1792. His official station consequently afforded him every facility for an acquaint- ance with the most recondite affairs of the Inquisition; and, on its suppres sion at the close of 1808, he devoted several years to a careful investigation of the registers of the tribunals, both of the capital and the provinces, as well as of such other original documents contained within their archives, as had not hitherto been opened to the light of day.
Llorente thus speaks in his Preface:--
In order to write an exset history, it was necessary to be an Inquisitor, or Se entary of the Inquisition. In this way alone could be seen the bulls of the pope the orders of the kings, the decisions of the council of the Inquisition, the original trials and other papers of its archives. Perhaps I am the only one, who at the pre sent time can poss all of these documents. I was Secretary of the Inquisition of the Court of Madrid, in the years 1789, 1790, and 1791. I knew its establishment sofficiently to consider it vicious in its origin, constitution, and laws, in spite of the apologetic writings in its favour. I immediately devoted myself to the collection of papers, abridging the most voluminous, but copying literally all that was impert ant.

In the early chapters of his work. Llorente gives a sketch of the ancient Inquisition, from its origin in 1203, down to the estab lishment of the modern tribunal by Ferdinand V. in 1481. Llo rente, with all his opportunities, was able to collect bat meagre details of the ancient Inquisition: its existence during the dark ages being unfavourable to critical inquiry.

The Inquisition In Minute Detail...
To begin to understand the scale of atrocity of the inquisitions, consider the career of Torquemada (1420-1498), Grand Inquisitor of Spain. During his 18- year term, well over 100,000 heresy cases were tried in Spain alone, of which 97.322 were imprisoned and/or lost their property, at least 90,000 were torrared (many to death) and 10.220 were burned. These are numbers so large they seem incredible, but which were given by Llorenie, the Spanish historian of the Imp sition, who was well-qualified to judge their accuracy. If we take only half of Torquemada's rate of 5975 victims per year (people imprisoned, robbed, tor tured or killed by the Church) and multiply it for the 6 major Western Christian powers (Spain, France. England, Germany, Italy, Slavic countries) over 500 years (roughly 1150-1650), we reach a figure of nearly 9,000,000 victims of the various inquisitions. This does not include groups slaughtered in Europe by crusaders, or by general decree. It also does not include those threatened, harassed, lynched or punished without trial, such as known Jews. These victims add millions more to the body count. We can easily say that Christian Inquisitions killed at least 10 million, and cruelly ruined the lives of at least 10 million more.
Sober reader, the Seventh chapter of Daniel has been precisely fulfilled in the Catholic Church: "The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth... and shall devour the whole earth.... tread it down, and break it to pieces."
I quote next Grattan Guiness Romanism and the Reformation, 1881:
Stay, I will take you to the Inquisition. You shall enter its gloomy portals; you shall walk through its dark passages; you shall stand in its infernal torture-chamber; you shall hear the cries of some of its victims; you shall listen to their very words. What agonies have been suffered in these somber vaults, unseen by any human eyes save those of fiendish inquisitors! What cries have been uttered in this dismal place which has never reached the open world in which we live. Locked doors shut them in; stone walls stifled them. No sound escaped, not even that of a faint and distant moan. But now and then a victim found release; one and another have come forth from the torture-chamber pale and tremblingly, maimed and mutilated, to tell the things they experienced when in the hands of the holy inquisitors. We shall call in some of these as witnesses.
This book is Limborch's History of the Inquisition. It tells the story of its origin seven hundred years ago.... it describes its ministers and methods, its vicars, assistants, notaries, judges, and other officials. It describes the power of the inquisitors, and their manner of proceeding. It unveils their dread tribunal; opens their blood-stained records; describes their dungeons, the secret tortures they unflicted. the extreme, merciless, unmitigated tortures, and also the public... burning of heretics. What a record! What a world of tyranny and intolerable anguish compressed into that one word-the Inquisition!
349
CODEWORD BARBELON Bk 2
Tyranny over the conscience! Men in the name of Jesus Christ stretching and straining, maiming and mangling their fellow men, to compel them to call light darkness, and darkness light. To bow down to man and worship him as God; to call the teaching of Chris beress, and the teachings of antichrist Divine! Tremendous was the power of that dread[ed] tribunal. In Spain and Portugal it completely crushed the Reformation. No secrets could be withheld from the inquisitors; hundreds of persons were often apprehended in one day, and in consequence... from their examinations under torture, thousands more were apprehended.
the inquisition [cells were filled and emptied again and ag torture-chamber was a hell. The most excruciating engines wer employed to dislocate the limbs of even tender women. Thousands were burned at the stake. The gospel was gagged and crushed....
"The place of torture," says a Spanish historian, quoted by Limborch, Page 217, "is generally an underground and very dri room.... There is a tribunal erected in it in which the inquisitor inspector, and secretary sit. When the candles are lighted, and the person to be tortured brought in, the executioner, who is waiting for him, makes an astonishing and dreadful appearance. He is covered all over with a black linen garment down to his feet and tied close to his body. His head and face are all concealed with a long black carl, only two little holes being left in it for him to see through.
All this is intended to strike the miserable wretch with greater terror in mind and body, when he sees himself going to be tortured by the hands of one who thus looks like the very devil.
Today, the infallible Church of Rome would have us to believe that such atrocities were the product of darker, less civilized times and that she has changed. But if she has changed' WHAT WAS SHE BEFORE?

AI Overview
A hacker can introduce a remote file onto a smartphone without the user’s direct action through several advanced techniques, primarily leveraging Remote Access Trojans (RATs), zero-click exploits, or social engineering. These methods allow malicious software to be installed silently in the background, often appearing as system updates or hidden in legitimate app data.
National Cybersecurity Alliance
Common Ways Remote Files Are Placed on Phones
Zero-Click Attacks: These are the most advanced, requiring no action from the user. A crafted message, iMessage, or missed WhatsApp/FaceTime call can trigger a vulnerability in the phone's software, causing it to install spyware automatically.
Phishing and Social Engineering: Hackers send SMS, emails, or direct messages containing links that, when clicked, download a malicious file or install a RAT (Remote Access Trojan).
Malicious App Bundling: Users may be tricked into downloading seemingly harmless apps (e.g., free games, fake updates) that are bundled with malicious files.
Unsecured Public Wi-Fi/Bluetooth: Hackers on the same network can perform "man-in-the-middle" attacks, intercepting traffic to inject or push malicious files to the device.
Browser/Play Store Exploits: Vulnerabilities in mobile browsers (like old Android versions) can be exploited to install applications from the Google Play Store remotely without user consent.
National Cybersecurity Alliance
Signs of a Compromised Phone
Unfamiliar Apps: Applications appearing that you did not download.
Rapid Battery Drainage: Malware running in the background uses significant power.
Unexpected Data Usage: High data consumption as the spyware exfiltrates data.
Overheating/Sluggish Performance: The phone becomes unexpectedly hot or runs slowly.
Strange Noises: Clicking or static during phone calls.
National Cybersecurity Alliance
Immediate Actions to Take
If you suspect a file was placed on your phone, act quickly to secure your device:
Disconnect from the Internet: Immediately turn off Wi-Fi and mobile data, or put the phone in Airplane mode to break the connection to the attacker.
Scan for Malware: Use a reputable mobile security app to run a full system scan.
Check Installed Apps: Manually inspect your app list for anything suspicious and uninstall it.
Reset Passwords: Assume your login credentials have been compromised and change passwords for critical accounts (banking, email, social media).
Factory Reset: If the malicious file persists, perform a factory reset to restore the device to its original state.
National Cybersecurity Alliance
For maximum security, always keep your operating system and apps updated to patch the vulnerabilities hackers use for remote file placement.

AI Overview
"Unjudicial irony" refers to situations where legal proceedings, rulings, or actions taken by the judiciary result in outcomes that are the opposite of what was intended or expected, often violating the principles of justice or the appearance of propriety. It highlights a paradox where the legal system—meant to deliver justice—produces an unjust or contradictory result.
Key Aspects and Examples:
Contradictory Outcomes: A scenario where, for instance, a court's effort to protect rights instead results in their restriction, or a judge’s attempt to maintain order actually undermines it.
Misapplied Law: Unjudicial irony occurs when a statute is enforced to a point that it creates an exception that wasn't intended, or when the "law" acts in a way that is legally valid but substantively unreasonable.
The "Cruel" Irony of Law: Often, this takes the form of "cosmic irony" or "irony of fate," where the most vulnerable individuals are negatively impacted by the very legal mechanisms designed to protect them, such as in instances of climate justice where those least responsible for climate change are most severely impacted, despite legal efforts to intervene.
Unintended Consequences: Similar to a safety device causing the accident it was designed to prevent, the judicial system can create situations where an attorney's action designed to save a client actually harms their case.
Language Log
Judicial Humour and Misconduct:
The phrase can also relate to judicial actions that are not suitable for a judge, such as using excessive humour from the bench.
A judge's use of humour can turn into unjudicial irony if it undermines their credibility, appearing "callous toward the unfortunate parties" rather than fair and impartial.
Merriam-Webster
Legal Irony in a Broad Sense:
Legal Deconstruction: The rhetoric of law can be "ironically reversed," where words like "justice" in a courtroom setting may be perceived or experienced as "revenge" or "rationality" masking "regularity".
Contextual Examples: A notable example includes a witness being required to show "success" in their testimony for it to be considered effective, even if that testimony leads to a "just" but personally devastating outcome.
On August 6, 2023, Driver was found dead in his cell when prison personnel arrived for a routine inmate check.[13] His death was ruled a suicide by asphyxiation.[13][14] While he was never convicted, officials said the evidence against him was overwhelming. Forensic evidence, including his DNA, were found on Irion's body. Driver also left a note in which he apologized for the "darkness within" himself.[15]

AI Overview
Framing false evidence in a justice court involves the intentional creation, alteration, or presentation of fraudulent information to influence a legal proceeding. This act, often referred to as "fabrication of evidence" or "tampering," is a serious felony-level offense in most jurisdictions.
Kraut Law Group
Legal Definitions and Crimes
Fabrication of Evidence: Deliberately creating, altering, or manipulating evidence to strengthen or weaken a case. Examples include planting evidence at a scene or falsifying police reports.
Offering/Presenting False Evidence: Knowingly submitting forged or fraudulent documents, such as fake wills or records, during a trial or hearing.
Perjury: Intentionally providing false testimony while under oath during a court proceeding.
Frame-up: The act of maliciously incriminating someone by providing fabricated evidence or testimony, often to distract from the actual perpetrator.
Wallin & Klarich
Common Tactics Used to Frame Individuals
Planting Evidence: Placing items like weapons or illegal substances at a scene to link them to the accused.
Parallel Construction: Describing the origins of truthful evidence untruthfully to hide that it was obtained through illegal means.
The "Silver Bullet Method": Using false allegations, particularly in divorce or custody cases, to gain a strategic advantage.
Tampering with Forensic Results: Fabricating lab test results or misinterpreting forensic data to imply an incorrect association.
National Institute of Justice (.gov)
Consequences and Penalties
Felony Charges: In many regions, such as California, offering or preparing false evidence is a felony punishable by up to three years in state prison.
Civil Rights Violations: If government officials fabricate evidence, it is a violation of the victim's due process rights. Victims may be entitled to financial compensation for emotional distress and lost wages.
Overturning Convictions: If it is proven that a conviction was based on false evidence known to the prosecution, the conviction may be overturned.
McElfresh Law
Defenses and Remedies
Mistake of Fact: Arguing that the defendant reasonably believed the evidence was true and lacked "criminal intent".
Entrapment: Proving that law enforcement used harassment or force to induce the creation of false evidence.
Brady Motions: Requiring prosecutors to disclose all exculpatory evidence, including any known misconduct or fabricated reports.

But the angel said to me, "Why are you so amazed? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her.
-- Revelation 17:7 (NRS)
Dave Hunt, who is an apologist and author, wrote a book called A Woman Rides the Beast. The woman who rides the beast, in his beliefs on scripture, refers mostly to Rome and the revived Roman Empire. But in each chapter, Dave continues to talk about other factors that play into this mysterious woman, including the false perception of Mary, the Vatican's connection to the holocaust, and "the failure of the first pope." The first pope, of course, was Peter but how did he fail as pope? He also wrote that "the gospel was being spread before any church was ever established", an excellent point made against Roman Catholicism.

Judge Schlegelmilch can be funny but not worth the false imprisonment, hopefully, does a truthful judgement of this whole scenario and is not corrupt

Dear Mr. Dunn:
On behalf of the Court, I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for your service as a juror in State of Nevada v. Ryan Joe Coddington. Your conscientious consideration of the challenging and sensitive issues presented to you in this case proves that our Constitutional system of trial by our peers works to ensure fair and unbiased decisions are handed out of our courts.
Abraham Lincoln once said that "A jury is the common sense of a common people." The only way we have justice is through the judicial system in the United States. Justice really means fairness. It means that if you're charged with a crime, you can appear in front of a jury of your peers who will judge the facts fairly as a citizen of this State. A jury of your peers means a mix of people from all walks of life using their common sense to do justice. It is one of the most important civic responsibilities of being a United States Citizen.
I appreciate the fact that you responded to your summons as a juror willing to do your job. Our judicial system only works because citizens like you are interested, concerned and willing to make whatever arrangements are necessary in their personal lives to be able to perform this invaluable service. Your presence on the jury was a great asset in this case.
Once again, I would like to thank you on behalf of the Court and the people of Lyon County for your willingness to serve as a juror and to give so freely of your time and abilities. I admire you for your commitment to this case.
With great respect,
Honorable John P. Schlegelmilch District Court Judge

On October 1, 2017, a mass shooting occurred when 64-year-old Stephen Paddock opened fire on the crowd attending the Route 91 Harvest music festival on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada from his 32nd-floor suites in the Mandalay Bay hotel. He fired more than 1,000 rounds, killing 60 people and wounding at least 413 others. The ensuing panic brought the total number of injured to about 867. About an hour later, he was found dead in his room from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The motive for the shooting is officially undetermined.
The incident is the deadliest mass shooting by a lone gunman in American history. It focused attention on firearms laws in the U.S., particularly with regard to bump stocks, which Paddock used to fire shots in rapid succession, at a rate similar to that of automatic firearms.[4] Bump stocks were banned by the U.S. Justice Department in December 2018, but the ban was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2024.[5]

Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock inspired by criminal father's reputation
The findings are part of an analysis released Tuesday by the FBI nearly 16 months after the attack that killed 58 people and injured nearly 900 others at a country music festival.
Jan. 29, 2019, 10:26 AM PST / Updated Jan. 29, 2019, 11:13 AM PST
By Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — A high-stakes gambler who rained a hail of gunfire down on a crowd of country music fans, killing 58, took any specific motive for the 2017 attack to his grave, the FBI said Tuesday as it concluded the investigation into the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.
The agency found no "single or clear motivating factor" to explain why Stephen Paddock carried out the attack from his suite in a high-rise casino hotel. The 64-year-old fatally shot himself as police closed in.
"It wasn't about MGM, Mandalay Bay or a specific casino or venue," Aaron Rouse, the agent in charge of the FBI's Las Vegas office, told The Associated Press. "It was all about doing the maximum amount of damage and him obtaining some form of infamy."
The finding was contained in a long-awaited report compiled by the FBI's Behavior Analysis Unit, a group of experts who spent months examining several factors that might have led to the rampage.
"This report comes as close to understanding the why as we're ever going to get," Rouse said.
Almost 900 people were hurt during the Oct. 1, 2017, attack on an outdoor concert.
Paddock wanted to die in infamy, inspired in part by his father's reputation as a bank robber who was once on the FBI most wanted list, the report said. In many ways, he was similar to other active shooters the FBI has studied.
His "decision to murder people while they were being entertained was consistent with his personality," the report said.
The gunman was not directed or inspired by any group and was not seeking to further any agenda. He did not leave a manifesto or suicide note, and federal agents believe he had planned to fatally shoot himself after the attack, according to the report.
Paddock was a retired postal service worker, accountant and real estate investor who owned rental properties and homes in Reno and in a retirement community more than an hour's drive from Las Vegas. He also held a private pilot's license and liked to gamble tens of thousands of dollars at a time playing high-stakes video poker.
His younger brother, Eric Paddock, called him the "king of microaggression" — narcissistic, detail-oriented and maybe bored enough with life to plan an attack that would make him famous. His ex-wife told investigators that he grew up with a single mom in a financially unstable home and he felt a need to be self-reliant.
Police characterized him as a loner with no religious or political affiliations who began stockpiling weapons about a year before the attack. He spent more than $1.5 million in the two years before the shooting and distanced himself from his girlfriend and family.
He sent his girlfriend, Marilou Danley, to visit her family in the Philippines two weeks before the attack and wired her $150,000 while she was there. Danley, a former casino worker in Reno, returned to the U.S. after the shooting and told authorities that Paddock had complained that he was sick and that doctors told him he had a "chemical imbalance" and could not cure him.
Danley, who is CATHOLIC, told investigators that Paddock often told her, "YOUR GOD DOESN'T LOVE ME."
A Reno car salesman told police that in the months before the shooting Paddock told him he was depressed and had relationship troubles, and his doctor offered him antidepressants. Paddock would only accept a prescription for anxiety medication, the salesman said.
Paddock's gambling habits made him a sought-after casino patron. Mandalay Bay employees readily let him use a service elevator to take multiple suitcases to the $590-per-night suite he had been provided for free. Authorities said he asked for the room, which had a commanding view of the Strip and the Route 91 Harvest Festival concert grounds across the street.
The night of the massacre, Paddock used assault-style rifles to fire more than 1,000 rounds in 11 minutes into the crowd of 22,000 music fans. Most of the rifles were fitted with rapid-fire "bump stock" devices and high-capacity magazines. Some had bipod braces and scopes. Authorities said Paddock's guns had been legally purchased.
Las Vegas police closed their investigation last August, and Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo declared the police work complete after hundreds of interviews and thousands of hours of investigative work. Lombardo vowed never to speak Paddock's name again in public.
A separate report made public in August involving the Federal Emergency Management Agency found that communications were snarled during and after the shooting. It said police, fire and medical responders were overwhelmed by 911 calls, false reports of other shootings at Las Vegas casinos and the number of victims.
Hotel security video and police body camera recordings made public in a public-records lawsuit filed by media organizations including the AP showed police using explosives to blast through the door of the 32nd-floor hotel suite where Paddock was found dead.
He left behind nothing that offered an explanation.
"He acted alone. He committed a heinous act. He died by his own hand," Rouse said. "If he wanted to leave a message, he would have left a message. Bottom line is he didn't want people to know."

Relationship to Stonemasonry: While modern Scottish Rite is philosophical, its roots trace back to medieval, speculative "guilds" (often in Scotland/France) that perfected the craft and regulated skills, as outlined in historical masonic narratives.
Note 370.—"Sublime Prince of the Royal Secret. The 32nd degree of the Ancient and Accepted rite, and for many years, or until the institution of the 33d degree, this was the highest degree, or ne plus ultra of Masonry.
—Macoy's Encyclopaedia and Pictionary of Freemasonry, Article Sublime Prince of the Royal Secret
The Chapter of Clermont was a “Chapter of the Advanced Degrees” and initially entailed six degrees and was later extended to 25 known degrees. The six initial degrees were 1˚, 2˚ and 3˚ St John’s Masonry, 4˚ Knight of the Eagle, 5˚ Illustrious Knight or Templar, 6˚ Sublime Illustrious Knight.
Interestingly enough historically, prior to the time of the Rite’s creation, James II had been in residence at Clermont in exile from Britain from 1688 to his death in 1701. As noted by German Masonic historian, Lenning… “whilst in exile, James II residing at the Jesuit College of Clermont in France, allowed his closest associates to fabricate certain degrees in order to extend their political views.” Lenning believed this to have been an attempt on the part of James and his associates to regain control of the British throne for the House of Stuart. If Lenning is right, this places the origins of the “Rite of Perfection” in the hands of James II and the Jacobite (Stuart) Freemasons who at the time were in exile from Great Britain throughout France and Italy.

Pope Leo XIV has been planned to be assassinated in Jerusalem between 2028-2029 in the midst of brokering a peace treaty between Russia America and Israel after terrorist attacks on Gazprom pipeline in the Mediterranean off the coast of Palestine that results in Russian troops sent to Gaza and a brief war with American troops at the Gaza border for Cardinal Louis Sako brought out of retirement to finish in finalizing the peace treaty.
AI Overview
As of May 2026, a public feud exists between Pope Leo XIV (the first American pope) and Donald Trump. Trump has criticized Pope Leo as "weak on crime" and "terrible for Foreign Policy" due to the Pope’s anti-war stance on Iran and immigration, while Leo has stated he has "no fear" of the administration.
Key Aspects of the Dispute:
Conflict Over Iran: Pope Leo XIV described Trump’s threat to destroy Iranian civilization as "truly unacceptable" and a moral issue, focusing on the potential loss of innocent lives.
Trump's Attacks: Trump accused Leo on Truth Social of "catering to the Radical Left" and not being a "Great Pope". He also shared an AI-generated image of himself as a Christ-like figure before removing it following backlash.Pope’s Response: Pope Leo stated his mandate is the Gospel and being a peacemaker, not acting as a politician, and pledged to continue speaking out.
Diplomatic Fallout: The feud has strained relations with conservative Catholics and political allies, with officials like Marco Rubio managing the fallout by scheduling visits to the Vatican.
Background: Pope Leo XIV was elected in May 2025 following the death of Pope Francis and has increasingly clashed with the U.S. administration on foreign policy.
I began by attending Fordham University in the Bronx, mostly because I wanted to be close to home. I got along very well with the Jesuits who ran the school, but after two years, I decided that as long as I had to be in college, I might as well test myself against the best. I applied to the Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania and I got in. At the time, if you were going to make a career in business, Wharton was the place to go.

Donald Trump’s Jesuit Education
When I was an undergraduate at Boston College, the Campus Ministry office sold “Educated by Jesuit” T-shirts to help fundraise for retreats and service trips. On the front of the shirt is the emblem of the Society of Jesus, and on the back a list of famous people who were educated by Jesuits at either the university or high school level. The list contains a host of celebrities, authors, actors, actresses, politicians, and activists. The names include Voltaire, James Joyce, Monsignor Oscar Romero, Bill Clinton, Tim Russert, “Tip” O’Neil, Salma Hayek, Amy Poehler, Alfred Hitchcock, and Maria Shriver. To this list we could add Pope Francis, Fr. Greg Boyle, and some of our country’s most current politicians, namely John Kerry, the former Secretary of State, and Tim Kaine, the former vice presidential candidate. Tim Kaine’s Jesuit background, for example, did not go unnoticed by the media during the 2016 election. This points out that being Jesuit educated does in fact make a huge difference for how you see the world and your role in shaping it. Kaine unabashedly pronounced that his Catholic faith and Jesuit education helped to influence his political stances on the environment, gay marriage (pro), gay adoption (pro), abortion (pro-choice), and the death penalty (anti). Conservative members of the faith in turn attacked his Jesuit education as emblematic of his “radical roots” , questioning whether or not his Jesuit education was truly Catholic and in accordance with Church teaching.
To state that Jesuit education plays a part in forming our political views seems obvious. Jesuit education prides itself on its commitment to justice and the practice of solidarity with those on the margins. If you read the Mission statement from any of the 27 Jesuit colleges and universities in the United States, you will come across pledges to “form men and women of conscience and compassion” (Creighton), to “foster in [students] ethical and religious values and a sense of social responsibility” (Fairfield), and to “prepare students for ethical leadership” (Loyola New Orleans). The task of Jesuit education is thus to integrate the ethical, the moral, the intellectual, and the religious, as well as to produce men and women who exist not for themselves but for others in the creation of a more just and humane world. The hope is that the men and women who come out of a Jesuit university — no matter what their chosen career path or vocation — will have instilled in them a sense of social responsibility, particularly one that is attuned to the plight of the oppressed.
What if on the back that T-shirt we added the name of one other famous current politician? Donald Trump was educated by Jesuits too. He attended Fordham University for two years (1964-1966), before transferring to the real estate studies program at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
The reality that Donald Trump attended Fordham for two years is not something that is often talked about in the circles of Jesuit higher education. This fact is often comically dismissed, principally because Donald Trump did not graduate from Fordham. So too is it disregarded because (the argument goes) Jesuit universities can’t expect everyone who attends their institution to become leaders in the fight against injustice. We don’t want to deal with the fact that a man who attended Fordham is the same man who proposed an expansion of the prison at Guantánamo, reversed plans to save wetlands and protect waterways from coal waste. We also don’t want to acknowledge that a man who attended a Catholic university is the same man who (while maintaining the most lavish lifestyle in presidential history) has overseen a response to the COVID pandemic that has killed over 150,000 Americans. Nearly every single proposal and administrative act put forth by Donald Trump and his administration runs contrary to the core Catholic social teaching (and Trump’s espoused Christian faith) to promote the human dignity of every human being.
The point is not so much that Donald Trump was present on a Catholic, Jesuit university campus — but the courses he took and what he gained from them. Every Jesuit college or university in the United States offers an iteration of the same core curriculum. And although Trump won’t release his college transcripts there is a slim chance he would have been able to finagle his way out of certain required courses. That means that during either his freshman or sophomore year, Donald Trump would have had to take a required course in either theology or philosophy. He likely took both.
This is that we have to deal with if we want to understand the role that the Jesuit university has in organizing on behalf of the common good today. Our inability to address the fact that Donald Trump likely sat in a theology class at Fordham, mimics our inability to address both the ways that Jesuit universities are complicit in injustice and that what we teach in theology and philosophy classrooms often supports this complicity.
Ignacio Ellacuria, 1982
The question thus becomes, as Ignacio Ellacuria asked in his 1982 Commencement Speech at Santa Clara University, “How does a university transform the social reality of which it is so much a part?” Too often, Jesuit universities blend in to the status quo rather than embody an alternative to it. Thus, the problem is not solely Donald Trump. Rather, the problem is that he is a product of the ways our Jesuit universities are not living up to their inherent Ignatian values. I worry that Jesuit universities will fail to organize against Trump’s unjust policies, if they do not first address the ways that the university has justified hierarchical, patriarchal, heteronormative, and racist ways of thinking. So we must then ask — are our institutions leading the fight against global poverty? Offering just wages and health care benefits to their faculty members? Supporting the unionization of its workers? Are we creating syllabi inclusive of authors from a variety of backgrounds? Are we having honest conversations about racism, and how universities have often fostered an attitude of white supremacy and domination rather than seeking to decimate it?
James Cone, author of The Cross and the Lynching Tree
Should Jesuit universities truly want to be a social force for good in an era of Trump, they must begin precisely where Christ began his ministry – on the margins. When Trump was named as President-elect, many theologians began naming this current historical moment as “our Bonhoeffer moment.” These words are of course polemical, insinuating that what was ahead in the Trump presidency is comparable to life in Nazi Germany. The problem I have with this statement is that Bonhoeffer is situated as the paramount theological voice. Although I affirm that Bonhoeffer emulated authentic discipleship in his prose and present action, he was still a straight, privileged, white male. And my opinion stands that this is not the theological voice who should be at the forefront of our movements to protest. In its efforts to organize, resist, and protest, Jesuit universities must not be guided by the voices of the elites, but by the voices on the margins of society. Texts that come from the traditions of oppressed persons and groups of persons are perhaps the only light that can and should lead the way in efforts to build the Kingdom of Heaven. We need womanist theology, black liberation theology, Latina/latino liberation theology, mujerista theology, queer theology, and Asian liberation theology. These are the texts that will unsettle. These are the texts that will disturb. Can we imagine a different world had Donald Trump been given the opportunity to read Dolores Williams, James Cone, Gustavo Guiterrez, Ivone Gebarra, or Marcella Althaus-Reid? Of course, he could have glanced over the words and not let their content sink in. But he would not have been able to fully escape it if the university was embodyig the vision that these authors present.
I will conclude with the profound words of Pedro Arrupe, S.J.:
First, let me ask this question. Have we Jesuits educated you for justice? You and I know that many of your Jesuit teachers will answer, in all sincerity and humility: No, we have not. If the terms “justice” and “education for justice” carry all the depth of meaning which the Church gives them today, we have not educated you for justice.
…What does this mean? It means that we have work ahead of us. We must help each other to repair this lack in us, and above all make sure that in future the education imparted in Jesuit schools will be equal to the demands of justice in the world. It will be difficult, but we can do it.
We can do it because, despite our historical limitations and failures, there is something which lies at the very center of the Ignatian spirit, and which enables us to renew ourselves ceaselessly and thus to adapt ourselves to new situations as they arise. What is this something? It is the spirit of constantly seeking the will of God. It is that sensitiveness to the Spirit which enables us to recognize where, in what direction, Christ is calling us at different periods of history, and to respond to that call.

Salamis, 480 BC: a horror at sea for the Persian empire
Themistocles’ crushing naval victory at Salamis defied the odds and saved Greece from Persian domination. Julian Humphrys explains how such an unexpected feat came about and why it mattered so much
Published: September 25, 2021 at 9:25 AM
Xerxes, the King of Persia, was looking forward to this. For nearly 20 years the insolent ancient Greeks had been a thorn in the side of the mighty Persian empire, but now, finally, they were going to get their comeuppance. His soldiers had already reduced Athens to a heap of smouldering ruins, and now his ships had bottled up the puny Greek fleet at Salamis at the entrance to the Bay of Eleusis. All that remained was to finish them off. Keen to get a grandstand view of the action, Xerxes had his throne set up on the headland overlooking the two fleets and settled down to enjoy what he thought would be a triumphant spectacle.
The Athenians had first brought the wrath of the Persians upon Greece in 498 BC, when they had supported their countrymen in Asia Minor, who were in revolt against their Persian overlords.Once he’d suppressed the rebellion, Darius, the Persian king at the time, invaded Greece, but in 490 BC his forces suffered a devastating defeat at Marathon. Ten years later, Darius’s successor Xerxes returned – and he meant business. Gathering together an enormous army, he crossed the Hellespont (the modern-day Dardanelles) by two long pontoon bridges he’d ordered his engineers to construct, and marched down through Thrace and Macedonia towards Athens.
Faced with this huge invasion, the various Greek city states held a conference in Corinth. It was poorly attended because many had already concluded that their only option was to capitulate or even side with the Persians, but those who were there chose the warlike Spartans to take command of the defence of Greece. In late summer, while the Greek and Persian fleets fought an indecisive naval action at Artemisium, a brave attempt to block the huge Persian army at the battle of Thermopylae was overwhelmed. With the way to Athens now open to the Persians, the Athenian fleet was hurriedly used to ferry its inhabitants to safety on the island of Salamis. Athens soon fell to the Persians, the few inhabitants who had remained behind to defend it were massacred, and the city was burned to the ground.
What led to the battle of Salamis?
Following this disaster, the Greeks were divided over what to do next. Many thought that their only chance of survival lay in retreating to the Peloponnese peninsula and building a wall across the narrow isthmus that joined it to the mainland. But Themistocles, the commander of the Athenian fleet, disagreed. He knew that so long as Xerxes had a powerful navy, he could easily land his men behind any wall the Greeks might build, and also supply his vast army by sea. The Persian fleet had to be destroyed. Themistocles believed that the best way to do that was to force a battle off Salamis, where the Greek fleet was anchored.
Persuading his fellow commanders was not so easy. Eurybiades, the commander of the Spartan fleet, was all for leaving Salamis with his ships and heading for the Peloponnese. When his own threat to withdraw the two hundred ships of the Athenian fleet failed, Themistocles took matters into his own hands. Everybody, including Xerxes, knew that the Greeks were a notoriously fractious bunch, and the Athenian commander played on this. Claiming to be a secret supporter of the Persians, Themistocles sent a message to the Persian king saying that the Greeks were in disarray and that they were planning to slip away from Salamis under the cover of night.
Hearing this, Xerxes ordered his fleet, perhaps 800 ships strong, to close in on Salamis, block off the Greek retreat and destroy them. Eurybiades would now have to fight, whether he liked it or not. The Persian plan seems to have been to threaten the Greeks from two sides. While two hundred Egyptian ships were ordered to sail around the west side of Salamis to prevent the Greeks from escaping that way, the main Persian fleet would attack through the narrow strait between Salamis and the mainland. This was just what Themistocles wanted. He realised that in such a confined space, the Persians wouldn’t be able to make use of their advantage in numbers.
To strengthen the illusion that his fleet was falling apart, he sent a squadron of ships northwards as if in retreat. Meanwhile, to draw the Persians further into the confined straits, the other Greek ships slowly backed their oars. The Persians took the bait. With Phoenician ships on the right, nearest to Xerxes, and Ionians on the left, the fleet surged forward.
What happened during the battle of Salamis?
It didn’t take them long to realise that things were going badly wrong. As their ships moved further into the confined channel, they began to collide with each other and all formation and order was lost. The Persian oarsmen became tired, and matters were made worse by a heavy swell that caused their ships to heave in the choppy water, exposing their vulnerable sides and hulls. It was the moment that Themistocles had been waiting for. He gave the order and the Greeks attacked. Pulling hard on their oars, they steered their vessels into the confused mass of Persian ships. Timbers splintered and oars shattered, as the bronze rams attached to the prows of the Greek ships hit home, and the first line of Persian ships was pushed back onto those following them.
One Greek trireme under the command of Ameinias, an Athenian from the village of Pallene, made straight for the flagship of the Phoenician fleet, a huge vessel commanded by Xerxes’ brother, Ariabignes. As the two ships came together, Ariabignes led a boarding party against the Athenian ship, but as he jumped down onto its deck he was skewered by a spear and tossed overboard. Left leaderless, the Phoenician squadrons fell apart, and as the Greeks drove a wedge into the heart of the Persian fleet, effectively cutting it in two, many of their ships turned and fled as best they could. Seated high up on his throne, Xerxes watched events unfold with growing anger. When a group of Phoenicians appeared before him after the battle and tried to lay the blame for their defeat on other contingents, he had them beheaded on the spot.
Meanwhile, one of Xerxes’ vassals, Queen Artemisia of Halicarnassus, was in command of her own ship in the front line of the Persian fleet. With an Athenian trireme bearing down on her, she decided discretion was the better part of valour and made her escape. When she found her way blocked by another Persian ship, she simply rammed it, sending it to the bottom of the sea along with all those on board. Thinking that she had changed sides, the Greeks let her go. Xerxes was also taken in by Artemisia’s actions. Unable to believe that she would actually sink one of his own ships, he concluded that the vessel she’d rammed must have been a Greek one. Seeing this as the only bright moment on a day of disaster, he’s said to have shouted: “My men have turned into women today, and my women become men.”
Xerxes had one more humiliation to suffer before the day was done. Before ordering his fleet to attack, he had posted four hundred of his best troops, including three of his own nephews, on the little island of Psyttaleia at the mouth of the Bay of Eleusis. His plan was that they should hunt down and slaughter any Greeks who were shipwrecked on its shores, but following the defeat of the Persian fleet, the hunters became the hunted. Greek slingers, archers and heavily armed hoplites swarmed ashore and killed the remainder of the enemy’s fleet to a man.
By the end of the day, the Persians were in full retreat. Pursued by the victorious Greeks, they fell back to their anchorage having lost more than 200 ships captured or sunk. The Greeks had lost just 40. The spectacle that had been so eagerly anticipated by Xerxes had turned into nothing less than a horror show.
What happened after the battle of Salamis?
Concerned that other parts of his sprawling empire might rise up in rebellion when they heard the news of his defeat at Salamis, Xerxes took the remains of his fleet back to Asia Minor, leaving his army to winter in northern Greece. The following August, it was defeated by a Greek army led by the Spartan general Pausanias, and on the same day the rest of the Persian fleet was destroyed as it lay beached on the shore at Mycale in Asia Minor. Although nobody knew it at the time, mainland Greece would never again be threatened by the forces of Persia.
In 470 BC, Themistocles was ostracised by the Athenians who thought that he was becoming too powerful. He’d also been promoting an anti-Spartan policy, which led to conflict with those who thought that co-operation with Sparta was the way forward. Themistocles moved to the Peloponnesian town of Argos, but was accused by the Spartans of collaborating with the Persians. He ended up at the Persian court and spent his final years advising the new king, Artaxerxes I, on how to fight the Greeks.
What does the oracle have to do with the battle of Salamis?
Although ancient Greece was a male dominated world, its most powerful voice actually belonged to a woman. Known as the Pythia or Oracle, she was the priestess at the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, and for centuries the women who held that position would be consulted for predictions before major undertakings. These predictions could range from the clear-cut to the extremely ambiguous. When the Athenians consulted the Oracle about the forthcoming Persian invasion, she was initially pessimistic to say then least: “Fools, why sit you here? Fly to the ends of the Earth…”
But when they consulted her a second time, she was less straightforward, saying that only a “wooden wall” would stand against the enemy and that “Divine Salamis” would be the ruin of many a mother’s son. What did she mean?
In the debates that followed, some suggested that the ‘wooden wall’ was a reference to the palisade around the Acropolis in Athens, and the Oracle was telling them to avoid Salamis and defend their city. Themistocles, on the other hand, claimed that the ‘wall of wood’ was the Greek navy and that the mothers’ sons in question were Persian, not Greek. And he was right.

Arius (/əˈraɪəs, ˈɛəri-/; Koine Greek: Ἄρειος, romanized: Áreios; 250 or 256 – 336) was a Cyrenaic presbyter and ascetic. He has been regarded as the founder of Arianism,[1][2] which holds that Jesus Christ was not coeternal with God the Father, but was rather created directly by God the Father before anything else, as the true Firstborn. Arian theology and its doctrine regarding the nature of the Godhead showed a belief in radical subordinationism,[3] a view notably disputed by 4th century figures such as Athanasius of Alexandria.[4]

The Apostle Paul preached a famous sermon at Mars Hill (the Areopagus) in Athens, Greece, during his second missionary journey, recorded in Acts -34. Paul addressed Athenian philosophers by using their altar to an "Unknown God" to proclaim the one true Creator God, arguing against idolatry and calling for repentance. The speech challenged Greek intellectual thought, peaking with the resurrection of Jesus.

All historians acknowledge the ascendancy of the popes began in 308 A.D., when King Clovis of the Salian or Merovingian Franks (later France), won the decisive battle in the Catholic and Arian religious war, thereby settling the dispute in favor of the Catholics. But the popes' temporal reign officially began in the year 538 A.D. when Roman Emperor Justinian subdued the last of the three kingdoms, or "horns," that opposed the rise of the Papacy."

All that remains of the former Benedictine Abbey of Montmartre, this church dates back to the 12th century and is one of the oldest in Paris, though it has been much restored. Built atop a Roman temple to Mars, it was witness to the founding of the Jesuits in 1534, who met in the crypt under the guidance of Ignatius of Loyola.
Some say that the name Montmartre is derived from ‘Mons Martis’ (Latin for Mount of Mars); others prefer the Christian ‘Mont Martyr’ (Mount of the Martyr), a reference to the 3rd-century St Denis, who, according to legend, walked across Montmartre and on to the site of today’s Basilique de St-Denis after having been beheaded by Roman priests.

The name Martin originates from the Latin name Martinus, a derivative of Mars, the Roman god of fertility and war. It generally means "of Mars," "dedicated to Mars," or "little Mars".
The Counter-Reformation (Latin: Contrareformatio), also sometimes called the Catholic Revival,[1] was the period of Catholic resurgence that was initiated in response to, and as an alternative to or from similar insights as, the Protestant Reformations at the time.

B. B. Warfield, in his book The Lord of Glory, says, that Jesus was the glory of God, the SHEKINAH. According to the Old Testament, the shekinah was the visible manifestation of the invisible God. The shekinah was a radiant cloud or brilliant light within a cloud that signaled the immediate presence of God. For Jesus to be identified with the shekinah was to be equated with the presence of God Himself. In Jesus we see the full manifestation of the majesty of God.

Rosicrucianism is a theosophy advanced by an invisible order of spiritual knights who in spreading Christian Hermeticism, Kabbalah, and Gnosis seek to enliven and to preserve the memory of Divine Wisdom, understood as a feminine flame of love called Sofia or Shekhinah, exoterically given as a fresh unfolded rose, yet, more akin to the BLUE fire of alchemy, the BLUE virgin. Rosicrucians have no organisation and there are no recognizable Rosicrucian individuals, but the order makes its presence known by leaving behind engrammatic writings in the genre of Hermetic-Platonic Christianity.1 The historical roots of Hermeticism is to be located in Ancient Egypt. Long before the rise of Christianity, Hermetic texts were structured around the belief that organisms contain sparks of a Divine mind unto which they each strive to attend. Things easily transform into others, thereby generating certain cyclical patterns, cycles that periodically renew themselves on a cosmic scale. These transformations of life and death were enacted in the Hermetic Mysteries in Ancient Egypt through the gods Isis, Horus, and Osiris. In the Alexandrian period these myths were reshaped into Hermetic discourses on the transformations of the self with Thot, the scribal god. These discourses were introduced in the west in 1474 when Marsilio Ficino translated the Hermetic Pimander from the Greek. The story of Christian Rosencreutz can be seen as a new version of these mysteries, specifically tempered by German Paracelsian philosophy on the Lion of the darkest night, a biblical icon for how the higher self lies slumbering in consciousness.2

The Jesuits and the Inquisition, 1540-1556 | The Protestant Reformation
The greatest of these clerical orders by far was the Society of Jesus, founded in 1540 by the Spaniard Ignatius Loyola (1491-1556). Loyola, who had been a soldier, turned to religion after receiving a painful wound in battle. From the first the Jesuits were the soldiery of the Catholic church; their leader bore the title of general, and a military discipline was laid down in Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises, which set the rules for the order.
The Jesuits have always been a center of controversy. To their hostile critics, the Jesuits have seemed unscrupulous soldiers of the pope, indulging in dirty fighting if such tactics seemed likely to bring victory. They have been accused of preaching and practicing the doctrine that the end justifies the means and also of pursuing worldly power and success. Yet historical record leaves no doubt of Jesuit success in bolstering the spiritual as well as the material credit of Catholicism.
Jesuits seemed to be everywhere, in Hungary, in Poland, in England, in Holland, trying to win back lands and peoples from the Protestants. They were winning new lands and peoples on the expanding frontiers of the West, in India, in China, in Japan, in North America. They were martyrs, preachers, teachers, social workers, counselors of statesmen.
As realists they particularly sought to influence the politically powerful and to mold the young men who would later become leaders. Their schools rapidly acquired great fame, not only for the soundness of their Catholic doctrines, but also for their humanistic classical teaching and their insistence on good manners, adequate food, and exercise.
While the Society of Jesus was the chief new instrument of the Catholic Reformation, an old instrument of the church was also employed—the Inquisition. This special ecclesiastical court in its papal form had been started in the thirteenth century to put down the Albigensian heresy, and in its Spanish form in the fifteenth century to bolster the efforts of the new Spanish monarchy to force religious uniformity on its subjects. Both papal and Spanish inquisitions were medieval courts that used medieval methods of torture, and both were employed against the Protestants in the sixteenth century.
Protestant tradition sometimes makes both the Inquisition and the Jesuits appear as the promoters of a widespread reign of terror. Certainly the Jesuits and their allies made full use of the many pressures and persuasions any highly organized society can bring to bear on nonconformists. And the Inquisition did perpetrate horrors against former Muslims in Spain and against Catholicsturned-Protestants in the Low Countries.
But it was most active in countries of southern Europe—Italy, Spain, Portugal—where Protestantism was never a real threat. And where the Catholic Reformation succeeded in winning back large numbers to the Roman faith—in Germany and eastern Europe—persecution was not the decisive factor.

Protocol 17: The King of the Jews will be the real Pope of the Universe, the patriarch of an
international Church.
But, in the meantime, while we are re-educating youth in new traditional religions and afterwards
in ours, we shall not overtly lay a finger on existing churches, but we shall fight them by criticism calculated to produce schism....
Notice that "The King of the Jews" will replace the Pope. Jews would not be concerned with
replacing the Pope. They do not even recognize the Church. On the other hand, the Priory of Sion used the Catholic Church to build its empire. It was subject to the Roman Church for centuries, but withdrew during the Reformation, and through Free-masonry became adversarial to the Church. Naturally, the Priory would want to call their king "the real Pope of the Universe."

Delphi (/ˈdɛlfaɪ, ˈdɛlfi/;[1] Greek: Δελφοί [ðelˈfi]),[a] in legend previously called Pytho (Πυθώ), was an ancient sacred precinct in central Greece. It was the seat of Pythia, the major oracle who was consulted about important decisions throughout the ancient classical world. The ancient Greeks considered the centre of the world to be in Delphi, marked by the stone monument known as the Omphalos of Delphi. The term omphalos was the Greek word for "navel".
According to the Suda, Delphi took its name from the Delphyne, the she-serpent (drakaina) who lived there and was killed by the god Apollo (in other accounts the serpent was the male serpent (drakon) Python).[5][6]

The Greeks had colonized the coasts Sicily and southern Italy, and the fertile land had made many of the new cities wealthy, with splendid temples and richly furnished houses.
These Greek colonies eventually came under Roman control, but brought with them their art, literature, and learning.

Priests of Babylon move to today's Turkey. They became the kings of Pergamum
"Nebuchadnezzar’s successor, Awil-Marduk, set the stage for the submission of the empire to the Medo-Persians. Weakened over the next few decades by internal divisions, the strongly fortified Babylon fell without a fight in 539 BCE to Cyrus the Great’s forces. The Persians were generally tolerant toward the nations they defeated, allowing them to retain their culture and religion. An example of their permissive attitude came soon after the fall of Babylon. Cyrus issued a proclamation returning the Jewish captives in Babylon to Jerusalem with instructions to rebuild the temple destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar.
Though the Persians did not initially interfere in Babylon’s religious practices, the political power of the Babylonian priesthood (who were Chaldean magi) eventually became a problem. The temple had always been central to Babylonian life, with an entire culture and economy surrounding the Ziggurat of Marduk. As a result, the Chaldean priests were a powerful elite. They were often more powerful than the Babylonian king himself: the monarch had to acknowledge the priests’ intermediary role and “take the hands of Marduk” before assuming the throne. The king thus became the son of the god and was obliged to protect the religious hierarchy."

The priests frustrated the Persians’ tolerance when, in an attempt to retain their behind-the-scenes political power, they installed one of their own, a priest posing as the king’s brother Smerdis, as ruler of Babylon. The imposter was discovered and killed by the Persians. Following a subsequent revolt when the priests again set up their own Babylonian ruler, the Persian king Xerxes came and destroyed Babylon in 487 BCE. In the process, he tore down the temples and removed the statue of Marduk.
At this point, around 480 BCE, the Babylonian priests are thought to have left the city and reestablished their base elsewhere. According to one source, “the defeated Chaldeans fled to Asia Minor, and fixed their central college at Pergamos, and took the palladium of Babylon, the cubic stone, with them. Here, independent of state control, they carried on the rites of their religion” (William B. Barker, Lares and Penates: or, Cilicia and Its Governors, Ingram, Cooke and Co., London, 1853, pp. 232–233).

The Attalid Dynasty ruled an empire from their capital at Pergamon during the 3rd and 2nd century BCE. Fighting for their place in the turbulent world following the death of Alexander the Great, the Attalids briefly flourished with Pergamon becoming a great Hellenistic city famed for its culture, library, and Great Altar.
https://ancient.eu/Attalid_Dynasty/
For in the year 133 B.C. the young King of Pergamon, Attalus III, died, leaving his territory and his treasure to the city and people of Rome. While Attalus’ bequest had some precedent, it was nevertheless unusual and was the first to be accepted by Rome. Its acceptance had consequences that affected the subsequent course of Roman history.
https://historytoday.com/archive/legacy-attalus
Bible scholars further indicate that the Chaldean priesthood did not make Pergamos their final home. When the city was given to Rome, the priesthood sought out the new power center and moved to the Italian peninsula. Within the pagan Roman Empire they were able to continue their ancient Chaldean practices. This influence gradually extended into Roman Christianity. According to John Walvoord, chancellor of Dallas Theological Seminary, “when the teachers of the Babylonian mystery religions later moved from Pergamum to Rome, they were influential in paganism Christianity and were the source of many so-called religious rites which have crept into ritualistic churches” (The Bible Knowledge Commentary: Revelation).

The Vatican has founded the Pope John Paul II Center for Prayer and Study for Peace at 1711 Ocean Avenue, Springlake, New Jersey, in a mansion overlooking the ocean. The mansion was given to the New York Archdiocese by the estate of Elmer Bobst, who died in 1978. He was a multimillionaire and chairman of Warner Lambert Company. Richard Nixon was a frequent visitor. Directors of the Center were Kurt Waldheim, former Secretary General of the United Nations and ex-nazi war criminal; Cyrus Vance, former Secretary of State under Carter and member of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission; Clare Booth Luce, a dame of the Knights of Malta; and J. Peter Grace of W.R. Grace Company, who is head of the Knights of Malta in the United States. The Center was set up by the Vatican as a part of the Pope's new peace plan, which will bring the world together (see my paper "The Secret Government"). The Center has two roles:
(1) Educate Catholics and their children to accept the New World Order.
(2) Provide residence for the world-peace-solution computer and an ongoing study for peaceful solutions to any future problems which may endanger world peace. The computer is hooked to the world capitals via satellite. All nations have agreed to relinquish sovereignty to the Pope and submit future problems to the computer for solution. Of course, this will not go into effect until the New World Order is publicly announced. I believe that the New World Order was born in secrecy on January 19,1989. Now you know.

The legal profession
The bar commonly refers to the legal profession as a whole. With a modifier, it may refer to a branch or division of the profession: as, for instance, the tort bar—lawyers who specialize in filing civil suits for damages.
In conjunction with bench, bar may differentiate lawyers who represent clients (the bar) from judges or members of a judiciary (the bench). In this sense, the bar advocates and the bench adjudicates. Yet, in some countries, judges who previously worked as lawyers representing clients commonly remain members of the bar and lawyers are commonly referenced as Officers of the Court.
The phrase bench and bar denotes all judges and lawyers collectively.[4]

The Knights Templar
From A Brief Historical Description by Professor Sir John Baker QC LLD FBA
Master of the Bench
The history of the Temple begins soon after the middle of the twelfth century, when a contingent of knights of the Military Order of the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem moved from the Old Temple in Holborn (later Southampton House) to a larger site between Fleet Street and the banks of the River Thames. The new site originally included much of what is now Lincoln’s Inn, and the knights were probably responsible for establishing New Street (later Chancery Lane), which led from Holborn down to their new quarters. Following their custom, the knights built a round church patterned on the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. An inscription on the Round recorded that it was consecrated by the Patriarch Heraclius on 10 February 1185, in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is thought that King Henry II was also present on that day, inaugurating a long association between the royal family and the Temple.
Among the other buildings erected by the knights were dormitories, storehouses, stables, chambers, and two dining halls, one of them in the consecrated central portion and connected with the church by a cloister. It was a house fit for kings to stay in, and several did so. During a visit by King John in January 1215 he received a deputation of barons demanding a charter of liberties; and when the Great Charter was signed later in the year, the Master of the Temple was one of the witnesses. The knights took advantage of their special privileges to make their sanctuary a safe place for depositing treasure, and during the thirteenth century the New Temple became a busy financial centre. It was no doubt during this period that the first handful of lawyers came to live in the Temple, not as distinct societies but as legal advisers to A WEALTHY INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION. The Templars thrived, adding to their round church a fine nave, which was consecrated in the presence of King Henry III in 1240. Many knights associated with the order were buried in the church, the most distinguished being William Marshal (d. 1219), first Earl of Pembroke and regent of England, the very model of medieval English chivalry, and one of the instigators of Magna Carta. Marshal’s armoured effigy, battered by time and war, may still be seen in the Round.
After losing the Holy Land in the 1290s, the order of the Temple fell into a decline. The knights were dubiously accused of improprieties, and in 1312 their order was dissolved. Although the pope granted their estates to the Knights Hospitaller of St John of Jerusalem, King Edward II seized the New Temple as forfeit to the Crown. Nevertheless, the consecrated portion was conceded to the Hospitallers, and the remainder was sold to them later.

http://www.prieure-de-sion.com/
The Order – A Brief History
The origins of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem date back to the First Crusade, when its leader, Godfrey de Bouillon, liberated Jerusalem. As part of his operations to organize the religious, military and public bodies of the territories newly freed from Muslim control, he founded the Order of Canons of the Holy Sepulchre. According to accounts of the Crusades, in 1103 the first King of Jerusalem, Baldwin I, assumed the leadership of this canonical order, and reserved the right for himself and his successors, as agents of the Patriarch of Jerusalem, to appoint Knights to it, should the Patriarch be absent or unable to do so.

the Constitutions.
Carefully, wisely, and religiously did he UNDERTAKE and carry out this

repeated Sacrifices of the Mass, he implored from the Lord the anoint

s inspiration and guidance he
might accomplish through divine assistance what was impossible
through human prudence. In this way, with immense toil he drew up
the Constitutions with all their parts and brought them to completion.

It was discovered 30 years too late that Philby, while head of a division in MIS (initials for Mission Impossible, division No. 5), was also a high-ranking KGB agent.

Pope Leo meets Archbishop of Canterbury Sarah Mullally, pledging to keep working past differences
Published Monday, April 27, 2026 | 1:27 a.m.
Updated Monday, April 27, 2026 | 3:42 a.m.
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Leo XIV prayed Monday in the Vatican with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally, and vowed to keep working to overcome differences in a historic meeting with the first female leader of the Church of England and the spiritual leader of the global Anglican Communion.
The encounter between Christianity’s two most famous religious figures would have been unthinkable just a few years ago, given the divisions between their two churches over women’s ordination and Mullally's appointment.
Leo acknowledged that “new problems” in their relationship had been added onto “historically divisive issues.” But he nevertheless vowed to continue the tradition of past popes to continue to try to reunite the churches.
Anglicans split from Rome in 1534, when English King Henry VIII was refused a marriage annulment. Despite a formal theological dialogue that began in the 1960s, big differences remain, especially over the Church of England’s decision to ordain women. The Roman Catholic Church reserves the priesthood for men.
Leo quoted Pope Francis as telling Anglican primates that “it would be a scandal if, due to our divisions, we did not fulfil our common vocation to make Christ known.”
“For my part, I add that it would also be a scandal if we did not continue to work towards overcoming our differences, no matter how intractable they may appear,” Leo said.
Mullally thanked Leo for welcoming her on her first foreign visit since she was installed last month.
Mullally, whose appointment has split the already divided Anglican Communion, arrived early to meet with Leo in his library. The two then prayed together in the Urban VIII Chapel inside the Apostolic palace for what the Vatican said was a “moment of prayer.” Mullally’s office said Leo presided but that they both “said the grace together.”
In her remarks to Leo, Mullally said both of them were called to preach the Gospel with “renewed clarity.”
“In the face of inhuman violence, deep division, and rapid societal change, we must keep telling a more hopeful story: that every human life has infinite value because we are precious children of God; that the human family is called to live as sisters and brothers,” she said. “We must therefore work together for the common good — always building bridges, never walls; that the poorest among us are closest to the heart of God.”
A pilgrimage to Rome amid challenges
Mullally is on what she has called a four-day pilgrimage to Rome that has included visits to the main pontifical basilicas, where she has prayed at the tombs of Saints Peter and Paul and met with top Vatican officials.
Lambeth Palace says her visit is designed “to strengthen Anglican–Roman Catholic relations through prayer, personal encounter, and formal theological dialogue. It aims to deepen bonds of communion, affirm a shared witness, and encourage ongoing collaboration at both global and local levels.”
The first female Anglican priests were ordained in 1994, its first female bishop in 2015, and now Mullally as the first archbishop of Canterbury.
Leo and Mullally have already exchanged greetings, with Leo congratulating her on her installation last month but acknowledging she was taking over at a “challenging” time and that differences still divide the Anglican and Catholic churches.
“We also know that the ecumenical journey has not always been smooth,” Leo wrote. “Despite much progress, our immediate predecessors, Pope Francis and Archbishop Justin Welby, acknowledged frankly that new circumstances have presented new disagreements among us,” Leo wrote.
He nevertheless vowed to continue dialogue, and in October Leo welcomed King Charles III and Queen Camilla to the Vatican, where they prayed in the Sistine Chapel. Charles is the titular head of the Church of England.
That event, Oct. 25, marked the first time since the Reformation that the heads of the two Christian churches had prayed together.
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the first formal ecumenical statement between the Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches, signed in 1966 at St. Paul’s Outside the Walls basilica by Archbishop Michael Ramsey and Pope Paul VI.
Mullally for her part has expressed solidarity with Leo’s peace message, after the American-born pope was harshly criticized by President Donald Trump for his calls for peace in Iran.
Popes past have met with female Christian bishops and archbishops: Francis met in 2015 with Archbishop Antje Jackelén, the first woman to lead the Lutheran Church of Sweden. Francis also invited the female Anglican bishop, Jo Bailey Wells, into a private meeting of his cardinal advisers in 2024 to discuss the role of women in the Catholic Church.
An historic meeting that follows the king's visit
George Gross, an expert on theology and the monarchy at King’s College London, said the meeting was historic, particularly given the Vatican doesn't recognize the female priesthood.
“If we were to go back several hundred years, it’s unthinkable,” he said. “It’s the fact that the pope is willing to meet, but in itself it also shows the difference, the gap.”
Gross said the prayer was clearly an attempt to show the two churches united, especially in confronting the global conflicts and projecting a message of unity. Such optics, he said, were in continuity with the visit to the Vatican in October by the king.
“It’s a doubling down of togetherness,” he said.
An appointment that divides the Anglican communion
Her appointment though has split the Anglican Communion, whose 100 million members in 165 countries are deeply divided over issues such as the role of women and the treatment of LGBTQ+ people. Many in England and other Western countries hailed her appointment as a historic breaking of a stained-glass ceiling.
But the communion’s largest and fastest-growing churches in Africa belong to a conservative group called the Global Anglican Future Conference, or Gafcon, which has sharply criticized her appointment and threatened a final break. In the U.S., the conservative Anglican Church in North America formed in a break from the more liberal U.S. and Canadian Episcopal churches and has signed onto the Gafcon statement opposing Mullally’s appointment.

Pray for London
Hey friends,
I’m speaking to you today from London. Like many of you, I’ve been watching the news, and once again Jewish people have been targeted. Just minutes from our ministry center, two Jewish people were stabbed on the street.
The truth is, this is becoming almost normal. And it should stir us to pray for protection over Jewish communities and for comfort for those affected.
But there is hope. In the midst of rising antisemitism, we’re also seeing God at work.
Across the world, our missionaries are opening the Hebrew Scriptures with people who are more open than we’ve seen in years. Please pray for boldness for our teams, as they share the gospel with those open to encountering Yeshua.
If you’re able, would you prayerfully consider giving today to help reach more people with that hope?
Thank you. God bless you and shalom.

AI Overview
If Jesus was born in September 4 BC, he would have been approximately 33 years and 7 months old on Easter in April 30 AD. However, historical consensus often places his birth earlier (6-5 BC) or his death later (AD 33), making the 33-year duration a traditional theological calculation rather than a strictly confirmed chronological fact.
Birth Timeline: Jesus is widely believed to have been born between 6 BC and 4 BC, just before the death of King Herod.
Death in AD 30: If born in September 4 BC, he would be roughly 33.5 years old by Passover in March/April of 30 AD.
Alternative Dates: Many scholars argue for a crucifixion date of April 3, 33 AD, based on a three-year ministry beginning around 29-30 AD.
Age "About 30": Luke 3:23 states Jesus was "about 30" when starting his ministry. If this was 26/27 AD and lasted 3-4 years, the 33-34 age range holds true.
Historical Complexity: Because there is no year zero in our calendar system, and the Gregorian/Julian calendars have discrepancies, calculating the exact age is difficult.
The tradition that Jesus died at age 33 is widely accepted, fitting a birth in 4-6 BC with a death in 30-33 AD, but scholars generally agree the 33 years are a minimum estimate, with some arguing for an age closer to 40.
The main differences between the way the Julian and Gregorian calendars are calculated are that the Gregorian calendar is a few minutes shorter than the Julian calendar and that, in the year it was established, the Gregorian calendar lost 10 days compared to the Julian calendar.

When the new calendar was put in use, the error accumulated in the 13 centuries since the Council of Nicaea was corrected by a deletion of 10 days. The Julian calendar day Thursday, 4 October 1582 was followed by the first day of the Gregorian calendar, Friday, 15 October 1582 (the cycle of weekdays was not affected).

In 4 BC, the Festival of Booths (Sukkot) began at sunset on September 11 in the Julian calendar.
Calendar Correspondence
The 15th of Tishri (the biblical start date) corresponds differently across calendars for the year 4 BC:
Julian Calendar: September 11
Gregorian Calendar: September 13
Duration of the Festival
The festival lasted for eight days, concluding on September 18 (Julian) or September 20 (Gregorian).
Significance and Symbolism
The Festival of Booths, also known as Sukkot or the Feast of Tabernacles, is one of the three major pilgrim festivals in the Hebrew Bible.
Historical Roots: It commemorates the 40-year period during which the Israelites wandered in the wilderness, living in temporary shelters (booths) after their Exodus from Egypt.
Agricultural Context: It marks the end of the harvest cycle, particularly for grapes and olives, serving as a time of thanksgiving for the year's bounty.
Messianic Association: Many scholars and religious traditions associate this festival with the birth of Jesus, suggesting he may have been born during this time in 4 BC to symbolize God "tabernacling" among humanity.
Ritual Practices
Observance of the festival involves several key commands found in Leviticus 23:
Building a Sukkah: Families construct and dwell in temporary huts with roofs made of natural materials (branches/leaves) through which the stars can be seen.
The Four Species: Participants wave the Lulav (palm, myrtle, and willow branches) and Etrog (citron fruit) in six directions to recognize God's omnipresence.
Holy Convocations: The first and eighth days are designated as Sabbaths or days of rest with no customary work.
Pope Francis Talks About 'Palpable' Grief at 9/11 Memorial
He will also visit the museum and see the iconic steel cross.
BY MEGHAN KENEALLY and AARON KATERSKY
September 25, 2015, 9:21 AM
Pope Francis arrived today at the site of the Sept. 11 terror attacks for what was called a "multi-religious gathering."
He was far from the only religious leader present, as Cardinal Timothy Dolan was to introduce the pontiff. But there are also Jewish, Muslim, Sikh and other leaders involved in the ceremony.
Pope Francis said a prayer and laid a white rose at the slabs of names of victims by one of the two reflecting pools. He then met with several relatives of first responders who died in the attack, as well as former New York City Mayors Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg and Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
The group then went into the museum's great hall, located at the bedrock of the building, where a prayer service was held and Pope Francis gave a short speech. He started his remarks by apologizing, in English, that he would be saying the rest of the speech in Spanish.
"I feel many different emotions standing here at Ground Zero, where thousands of lives were taken in a senseless act of destruction. Here grief is palpable," he said.
Before his visit, museum curator Jan Ramirez gave ABC News an overview of the tour that the pontiff would receive during his visit.
The backdrop for the interfaith service of peace is the surviving retaining wall of the original World Trade Center.
The pope will skip the rooms that recount the day and enter the historical exhibition space in the room that houses artifacts from the aftermath.
The dominant object is the World Trade Center Cross, steel wreckage in the shape of a cross excavated from World Trade Center 6 that became a focal point for recovery workers, and where a Franciscan priest offered Mass every Sunday on West Street in front of the cross during recovery work on the pile. A piece of aluminum duct work sits atop the cross like a shroud.
"This is bound to be the most iconic of the artifacts the pontiff will want to see," Ramirez said.
Here is the full transcript, as translated by the Holy See, of Pope Francis' remarks inside the 9/11 Museum:
Dear Friends,
I feel many different emotions standing here at Ground Zero, where thousands of lives were taken in a senseless act of destruction. Here grief is palpable. The water we see flowing towards that empty pit reminds us of all those lives which fell prey to those who think that destruction, tearing down, is the only way to settle conflicts. It is the silent cry of those who were victims of a mindset which knows only violence, hatred and revenge. A mindset which can only cause pain, suffering, destruction and tears.
The flowing water is also a symbol of our tears. Tears at so much devastation and ruin, past and present. This is a place where we shed tears, we weep out of a sense of helplessness in the face of injustice, murder, and the failure to settle conflicts through dialogue. Here we mourn the wrongful and senseless loss of innocent lives because of the inability to find solutions which respect the common good. This flowing water reminds us of yesterday’s tears, but also of all the tears still being shed today.
A few moments ago I met some of the families of the fallen first responders. Meeting them made me see once again how acts of destruction are never impersonal, abstract or merely material. They always have a face, a concrete story, names. In those family members, we see the face of pain, a pain which still touches us and cries out to heaven.

In 1129 the Master, accompanied by three hundred knights, recruited from the noblest houses of Europe, led a huge train
of pilgrims to the Holy Land. It was at this time that the Templars formed part of the Christian contingent which, allied with
the Assassins, tried to take Damascus. [And it wasn't the first time nor the last that the Christian Knights Templar, or
supposedly Christian Knights Templar (they really weren't Christian at all) were allied with the Assassins.] Were they (as the
Orientalist von Hammer alleges) connected in some secret way with the Assassins? [Yes, our research shows that it is a
historical fact. And it is also a historical fact that the Assassins were prepared to adopt Christianity if they could gain greater
power thereby (Christianity, that is, on the surface, just as the Knights Templar had done)]. Hammer points to the similarities
of the two organizations. The followers of Hasan Ibn Sabah were in contact with the Templars, and had a similar method of
organization. They were in existence before the Templars were formed: “The Ismailians ([or] Assassins) was the original, and
[folks] the Order of the Templars, [was] the copy.”

Todd Morgan Beamer was an American passenger aboard United Airlines Flight 93, which was hijacked and crashed as part of the September 11 attacks in 2001. He was one of the passengers who attempted to regain control of the aircraft from the hijackers."
"Following this, the passengers and flight crew decided to act.[1] According to accounts of cell phone conversations, Beamer, along with Mark Bingham, Tom Burnett, and Jeremy Glick, formed a plan to take the plane back from the hijackers.[10] They were joined by other passengers, including Lou Nacke, Rich Guadagno, Alan Beaven, Honor Elizabeth Wainio, Linda Gronlund, and William Cashman, along with flight attendants Sandra Bradshaw and CeeCee Lyles, in discussing their options and voting on a course of action, ultimately deciding to storm the cockpit and take over the plane.[1] Beamer told Jefferson that the group was planning to "jump on" the hijackers and fly the plane into the ground before the hijackers' plan could be followed through.[7][8] Beamer recited the Lord's Prayer and the 23rd Psalm with Jefferson, prompting others to join in. Beamer requested of Jefferson, "If I don't make it, please call my family and let them know how much I love them." After this, Jefferson heard muffled voices and Beamer clearly answering, "Are you ready? Okay. Let's ROLL. These were the last words spoken by Beamer heard by Lisa Jefferson.[1][8][9]"

The story behind this image of slain Davis police officer Natalie CORONA
By Lisa Fernandez and KTVU Published January 12, 2019 Updated December 28, 2020 California KTVU FOX 2
DAVIS, Calif. (KTVU) - In the image, she's wearing a royal BLUE gown, carrying a black-striped American flag with a thin blue line streaked across it.
Her heels are high. Her hair is done. Her smile is BEAMING. And she's standing in the middle of Leesville Grade Road next to a field in Williams, Colusa County, population 21,000, in California's Central Valley, where her father was a sheriff's deputy and now a county supervisor.
It's this compelling photograph of slain Davis police officer Natalie Corona that circulated throughout the country on Friday, hours after the 22-year-old was shot to death by a suspect identified on Saturday as Kevin Douglas Limbaugh, 48. A note found on his bed inside his home, where he later killed himself, stated that he believed Davis police bombarded him with ultrasonic waves."

In 1917, the Virgin appeared in Fatima. "The Mother of God" was a smashing success, playing to overflow crowds. As a result, the Socialists of Portugal suffered a major defeat. "Roman Catholics world-wide began praying for the conversion of Russia and the Jesuits invented the Novenas to Fatima which they could perform throughout North Africa, spreading good public relations to the Muslim world. The Arabs thought they were honoring the daughter of Muhammad, which is what the Jesuits wanted them to believe. "As a result of the vision of Fatima, Pope Pius XII ordered his Nazi army to crush Russia and the Orthodox religion and make Russia Roman Catholic." A few years after he lost World war II, Pope Pius XII startled the world with his phoney dancing sun vision to keep Fatima in the news. It was great religious show biz and the world swallowed it. "Not surprisingly, Pope Pius was the only one to see this vision. As a result, a group of followers has grown into a BLUE Army world-wide, totaling millions of faithful Roman Catholics ready to die for the blessed virgin. "But we haven't seen anything yet. The Jesuits have their Virgin Mary scheduled to appear four or five times in China, Russia, and major appearance in the U.S.
"What has this got to do with Islam?
Note Bishop Sheen's statement: "Our Lady's appearances at Fatima marked the turning point in the history of the world's 350 million Muslims. After the death of his daughter, Muhammad wrote that she "is the most holy of all women in Paradise, next to Mary."
"He believed that the Virgin Mary chose to be known as Our Lady of Fatima as a sign and a pledge that the Muslims who believe in Christ's virgin birth, will come to believe in His divinity.
"Bishop Sheen pointed out that the pilgrim virgin statues of Our Lady of Fatima were enthusiastically received by Muslims in Africa, India, and elsewhere, and that many Muslims are now coming into the Roman Catholic Church."

Each letter was forged from pieces of recovered World Trade Center steel by New Mexico artist Tom Joyce.These words are part of a larger art installation in the 9/11 Memorial Museum created in 2014 by artist Spencer Finch, titled “Trying to Remember the Color of the Sky on That September Morning.” The installation is the focal point for Memorial Hall, the area between the two main exhibitions at bedrock in the museum.Every one of the 2,983 watercolor squares is its own shade of BLUE – one for each of the 2001 and 1993 attack victims – and the artwork as a whole revolves around the idea of memory. Our own perception of the color blue might not be the same as that of another person.

Rosicrucianism is a theosophy advanced by an invisible order of spiritual knights who in spreading Christian Hermeticism, Kabbalah, and Gnosis seek to enliven and to preserve the memory of Divine Wisdom, understood as a feminine flame of love called Sofia or Shekhinah, exoterically given as a fresh unfolded rose, yet, more akin to the BLUE fire of alchemy, the BLUE virgin. Rosicrucians have no organisation and there are no recognizable Rosicrucian individuals, but the order makes its presence known by leaving behind engrammatic writings in the genre of Hermetic-Platonic Christianity.1 The historical roots of Hermeticism is to be located in Ancient Egypt. Long before the rise of Christianity, Hermetic texts were structured around the belief that organisms contain sparks of a Divine mind unto which they each strive to attend. Things easily transform into others, thereby generating certain cyclical patterns, cycles that periodically renew themselves on a cosmic scale. These transformations of life and death were enacted in the Hermetic Mysteries in Ancient Egypt through the gods Isis, Horus, and Osiris. In the Alexandrian period these myths were reshaped into Hermetic discourses on the transformations of the self with Thot, the scribal god. These discourses were introduced in the west in 1474 when Marsilio Ficino translated the Hermetic Pimander from the Greek. The story of Christian Rosencreutz can be seen as a new version of these mysteries, specifically tempered by German Paracelsian philosophy on the Lion of the darkest night, a biblical icon for how the higher self lies slumbering in consciousness.2

Why was Thomas called the Twin (John 11:16)?
Answer
Twins are two children of the same parents born from the same pregnancy, usually within minutes of each other. One of Christ’s twelve disciples, Thomas, was “called the Twin” (John 11:16, ESV) or “nicknamed the Twin” (John 11:16, NLT).
John’s Gospel mentions in three passages that Thomas was called the Twin (John 11:16; 20:24; 21:2). The Greek name Thōmas is a transliteration of an Aramaic word (te’oma), meaning “twin.” Thomas is also a transliteration of the Hebrew word (te’om) for “twin.” The Greek Christians of Jesus’ day tended to use the Hellenistic name Didymus (also meaning “twin”), which appears in John’s three remarks about Thomas being called the Twin.
The Bible does not name Thomas’s twin. The best we can do is speculate. Some believe that Thomas and Matthew may have been twins because their names often appear together in biblical lists of the disciples (see Matthew 10:3; Mark 3:18; Luke 6:15).
The Acts of Thomas is an apocryphal book that suggests Thomas was called “Twin” because he looked like Jesus. In the Syrian church, Thomas is believed to be the twin brother of Jesus. Another gnostic writing, the Gospel of Thomas, reinforces such claims of secret knowledge about Thomas, even expounding on his fate: “Against his wishes Thomas traveled to India under the command of the Lord. There he was martyred with spears by the hand of an Indian king. He was raised up and his empty tomb took on magical properties. Today in St. Thomas, India, Christians assert that they descend from the apostle” (Elwell and Beitzel, “Thomas, The Apostle,” Baker Encyclopedia of the Bible, Baker Book House, 1988, p. 2,057).
Besides what we glean from John’s Gospel, the Bible provides little concrete information about Thomas. From John 11:16, we learn that Thomas possessed courage and commitment to Christ. When Jesus decides to return to Bethany because His friend Lazarus has died (John 11:14–15), the disciples are reluctant to go, fearing the Jews there might try to stone Him again (John 11:8). John records, “So Thomas, called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, ‘Let us also go, that we may die with him’” (John 11:16, ESV).
In John 14:1–4, Jesus tells the disciples that He would prepare a place for them in heaven, adding that they would know the way to get there. Thomas is unafraid to be vulnerable with Jesus and honestly expresses his skepticism: “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” (John 14:5). The Lord is keen to give Thomas His answer, one that has illuminated the only path for believers ever since: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).
The best-remembered passage about Thomas is John 20:24–29, where he doubts the report of the other disciples who claim they have seen the risen Lord. He tells them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe” (verse 25). One week later, Jesus appears to Thomas, saying, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe” (verse 27). From this famous episode, Thomas receives his second nickname, “Doubting Thomas.” Of course, Thomas does believe, exclaiming, “My Lord and my God!” (verse 28).
The Doubting Twin Thomas also takes part in a fruitless fishing trip in which Jesus appears to seven of the apostles, telling them to cast their nets on the opposite side of the boat (John 21:1–14). When they do, they catch so many fish they cannot haul them in. Jesus is teaching His disciples to be “fishers of men” instead of fishermen. He shows them that their success in all future endeavors will depend on always following His direction.
The Bible doesn’t say why Thomas was called the Twin, nor who his twin may have been. The only certainty we can glean from Scripture is that Thomas was dubbed the Twin. The title may have been a nickname because he resembled another person, or he may have had a biological twin sister or brother. If Thomas did have a twin, we can only hazard a guess about the twin’s identity.

Saudi Arabia and terrorism today
Daniel L. Byman
September 29, 2016
Congress’ override of President Obama’s veto to allow Americans to sue Saudi Arabia for links to the 9/11 plot raises many questions, not least of which is the relationship between Saudi Arabia and terrorist groups today. As I testified earlier this year, Saudi Arabia has made considerable progress on counterterrorism in the last 15 years but still has a long way to go.
Before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, and really until al-Qaida began to attack the Kingdom directly in May 2003, Saudi Arabia was often uncooperative on counterterrorism and more part of the problem than part of the solution. Since 2003, the Saudi regime has emerged as a vital counterterrorism partner, and several important successes against al-Qaida in particular are due in large part to Saudi cooperation. Yet it’s not a simple story of progress: the Kingdom engages in many troubling behaviors today that make the terrorism problem worse. In the end, policymakers would do well to remember that Saudi Arabia is a key partner but not a friend: the United States and Saudi Arabia share many common interests, but they do not share common values or a common worldview.
What’s the link, exactly?
Understanding Saudi Arabia’s relationship with terrorists, however, is far more difficult than assessing Iran’s backing of terrorism, which is open, extensive, and state-sponsored. Much of Saudi support is done by non-state actors. Yet being “non-state” does not absolve the Saudi government of responsibility. These non-state actors enjoy a range of relationships to the Saudi regime. Some receive or did receive official patronage. Others, particularly those tied to leading clerics in the Kingdom, are embraced indirectly by the regime’s self-proclaimed role as Defender of the Faithful. And still others are truly private, acting independently of the government and in times in opposition to it.
In addition, the Saudi royal family itself occupies an unusual role. In one sense, the royal family—with its tens of thousands of princes—is not the government. However, the family’s and the government’s finances are interwoven, and if a prince supports a group it has an unofficial imprimatur of approval. King Salman himself, for example, helped raise money for the mujahedin in Afghanistan and the Balkans.
Many of these voices are responsible for indoctrination rather than direct violence. That is to say they might propagate views on the Satanic nature of Jews, the apostasy of Shiites, or the heretical nature of the Ahmadiyyas, as well as the legitimacy of using violence to fight foreign occupiers of Muslim lands—be it Indian forces in Kashmir, U.S. forces in Iraq, or Israeli forces in historic Palestine. Such support, in the United States, would often be considered distasteful but part of protected free speech. For terrorists, however, it can prove invaluable as it provides theological legitimacy for their actions, enabling them to attract recruits and funds.
Behind-the-scenes pressure
Washington’s ability to influence the Kingdom is limited, however, given the Saudi domestic sensitivities of these issues. U.S. pressure under the Bush and Obama administrations has moved Saudi Arabia away from many dangerous activities and has helped transform Saudi capacity in fighting terrorism. Even if the key motivation was the change in the perceived threat to the Kingdom itself rather than U.S. influence, these are considerable successes that deserve recognition.
Changing Saudi policy still further is difficult. Although the United States has sold the Kingdom almost $100 billion in arms during the Obama administration, the Saudi media remains critical of the president as unreliable and hostile to the Kingdom. Riyadh, moreover, is frustrated with U.S. policy regarding Iran in particular, but also in the region in general. Saudi Arabia backed the coup in Egypt, in opposition to U.S. policy, and Saudi leaders were previously outraged that the United States abandoned the Mubarak regime. The Obama administration has largely abandoned criticizing the Saudi regime on human rights grounds, but it is important to remember that most Saudis do not share U.S. values regarding women’s and homosexual rights, religious liberty, and other basic freedoms that are fundamental to American society.
Quiet pressure is almost always best when trying to change Saudi policy.
Many issues regarding counterterrorism—particularly the promotion of extremism abroad via sectarianism and criticism of non-Muslims—touch on core domestic political issues vital to the regime’s legitimacy and very survival. Change in these areas will at best be slow, and the United States should expect progress to end or even reverse should the regime’s domestic situation face challenges.
Quiet pressure is almost always best when trying to change Saudi policy. The small circle of decisionmakers in Saudi Arabia does not take well to public embarrassment, and they believe strongly in the value of close personal relationships. To be effective, U.S. pressure must involve top officials, including the president. Otherwise, it will simply be ignored or may even prove counterproductive.
Saudi Arabia is a vital partner in the struggle to defeat the Islamic State, al-Qaida, and other groups. But it is not a friend. Demonizing Saudi Arabia does not help advance U.S. interests, but nor should critics of U.S. policy in the region see Washington and Riyadh as fully aligned given the profound difference in values.

AI Overview
In the Bible, the "House of David" refers to the royal dynasty established by God via a covenant with David, promising an everlasting kingdom (2 Sam 7:11-16). Unlike the earlier, temporary military leaders known as judges (like Othniel), the House of David represents a permanent, ruling monarchy characterized by establishing justice and righteousness in Israel.
Church of the Great God
Key Aspects of the House of David & Judgment:
Establishment: God promises David a "house" (dynasty) that will last forever, contrasting with the prior era when God raised up judges to deliver Israel.
Administration of Justice: David is noted for ruling all Israel with justice and equity, setting a standard for his descendants.
Thrones of Judgment: Psalm 122:5 highlights that "thrones of judgment" belong to the house of David, signifying the royal administration of law.
The Messianic Judge: The prophets foretold a future, ultimate ruler from David’s line who will sit on David's throne to bring justice and righteousness (Isaiah 16:5, 9:7).
New Testament Fulfillment: Jesus Christ is presented as the ultimate fulfillment of this promise, often called the "Son of David," who reigns over an eternal kingdom.
Zechariah 12:8
1599 Geneva Bible
8 In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and he that is feeble among them, in that day shall be as David: and the house of David shall be as God’s house, and as the Angel of the Lord before them.
AI Overview
Based on Joel 3, God promises to restore Judah and Jerusalem and assemble all nations in the Valley of Jehoshaphat ("Yahweh has judged") for a final judgment. This occurs because the nations scattered His people Israel, divided His land, and enslaved them. God himself will act as the judge to defend Judah and punish foreign nations for their violence against His people.
What was the Court of the Gentiles in the Jewish temple?
Answer
Herod’s temple, destroyed along with the rest of Jerusalem by the Romans in AD 70, contained four separate “courts,” separated from one another and each designed for a different purpose: the Court of the Gentiles, the Court of the Women, the Court of Israel (or the Court of Men), and the Court of Priests. The Court of the Gentiles is referred to as “the outer court” in Revelation 11:2.

2. The Seventy Weeks Prophecy from Daniel Chapter Nine
(24) Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
(25) Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
(26) And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
(27) And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. KJV
These four verses comprise the entire text of the seventy weeks prophecy. There are two schools of thought on the interpretation of verse 27. The Futurist school being the most popular today, hinges upon the acceptance of several presumptions:
Presumption 1. That the seventieth week of Daniel, unlike the first sixty-nine weeks, is not contiguous:
24 – Chapter Two – Learning the Lines
meaning that there is an undetermined gap or interval of time between the sixty-ninth and the seventieth weeks of years, and that this gap has been going on for almost two thousand years.
This first presumption cannot be supported by any accepted interpretive method and there is nothing in the text, nothing in the chapter, nothing in the book of Daniel, nor the entire Bible, which explicitly supports inserting an undetermined gap of time between the sixty-ninth and seventieth weeks of the prophecy. Therefore it must be assumed upon wishful thinking or pure conjecture. And there must be a total disregard for the literal meaning of the text. However these presumptions are exactly what Evangelicals have accepted, whether they know it or not!

OPERATION VAMPIRE KILLER 2000 - P.O.BOX 8712, PHOENIX, ARIZ. 85066
OPERATION VAMPIRE KILLER 2000 -- A U.S. POLICE ACTION
PURPOSE
The Police Officers, National Guardsmen and military officers who have contributed to
this special publication are aware of a plan to overthrow the Constitutional Republic of
these United States of America.
This publication, many months in preparation, was found difficult to compile for many
reasons. One important reason was that none of the officers involved were pleased with
the duty of bringing to the attention of our colleagues the names and activities of some in
our nation who have been in the past (or presently) engaged in what can only be
described by law as treason and/or sedition against their own government.
While detailing the plan of these Internationalists, the main goal of this special police
publication will be to promote an active program that will defend America from those at
work forming an oligarchy of Imperialism against this nation of free people.
The herein-described plan to halt this unAmerican activity can succeed only with the
combined efforts of the People's Protectors (the Police, Guardsmen and Military) and
their countrymen in the private sector.
DEFINITIONS:
In defining "treason" and "sedition" we look to the Fifth edition of Black's Law
Dictionary. pg. 1345, and pg. 1218
TREASON: The offence of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the
state to which the offender owes allegiance; or of betraying the state into the hands of a
foreign power.
SEDITION: ...knowingly becoming a member of any organization which advocates the
overthrow or reformation of the existing form of government of this state by violence or
unlawful means.
The facts and information about some of the persons and their actions listed in this
special report is prima facie evidence of their long involvement in activities directly
designed to overtly overthrow the lawful, constitutional government of the United States
of America. These individuals thus hope to deliver the People of the U.S. into the hands
of a foreign power known as the United Nations, which is actually an oligarchy of the
world's superrich, who have no allegiance to any one nation and who control the U.N.
from behind the scenes.
As the reader will find, many of these persons are, or have been, members of various
organizations that have as their purpose the destruction of this Constitutional Republic.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Not all of the people listed in this report are involved in treason
and sedition against the United States. Some of the individuals listed and quoted are
presenting evidence of these crimes committed by others or are listed/quoted for
informational purposes only.
As patriotic Americans of all races. religions and political beliefs, we claim our right to
defend our Republic from all enemies foreign and domestic. This educational work is one
such attempt.
THE NEW AGE / NEW WORLD ORDER GOVERNMENT PLAN
Many of our nation's INTERNAL PROTECTORS know of the well laid plan which will
culminate in the year 2000, to usher the United States, along with the rest of the nations
of the world, into a "utopian" global community allegedly under the control of a
"philanthropic" United Nations. A great many of our fellow Officers and National
Guardsmen are taking a stand against this plan because they realize that their fellow
Americans were never allowed to know of this plan nor given the opportunity to vote on
such a change in their government. In addition, the officers are concerned patriots and
realize that this plan of world domination is injurious in the extreme, and a total fraud
perpetrated against the people of the world!
This publication outlines the plan of these American Internal Protectors which they
believe will stop this diabolical agenda.
THE NEW ORDER
Allegedly this new order is being set up to save THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD from a
whole variety of "imminent" life and world threatening disasters. Of those sworn
protectors of the people that are aware of this global scheme, few realize that the actual
behind the scenes plan is for an oligarchy of the world's richest families to place 1/2 the
masses of the earth in servitude under their complete control, administered from behind
the false front of the United Nations. To facilitate management capabilities, the plan calls
for the elimination of the other 2.5 billion people through war, disease, abortion and
famine by the year 2000. As we can plainly see, their plan for "Population Control"
(reduction) is well established and under way.
OPERATION VAMPIRE KILLER 2000 PLAN
Our OPERATION VAMPIRE KILLER 2000 plan involves the awakening (education) of
our fellow officers to the extreme need for them to take an immediate and active role in
assisting their fellow Americans in stopping this plan for world domination, using every
lawful means available.
HUMAN PARASITES
These elitists and their families have made most of their massive fortunes off the
American people, and have dedicated entire lifetimes to using public funds to subjugate
the People to the will of their new world ARISTOCRACY.
This special police officer publication is a private endeavor, and is dedicated to those
sworn Protectors of the People who refuse to play a role in enslaving their countrymen.
We are proud of these brave Officers who are presently assisting other patriotic
Americans of all races and creeds in halting this program for world domination called the
NEW AGE/NEW WORLD ORDER.
Some of our Police/National Guardsmen readers suggested names for this private police
action plan. Our government, to maintain privacy in its activities, has long been in the
practice of choosing unusual names for covert operations, such as "Transylvania & Co.",
"Garden Plot", "Operation Zapata", "Thunder Muffin, Inc.", "Operation Watchtower",
and "Cable Splicer", to name a few. We officers, while in the alternative, desiring the
greatest amount of publicity about our plan of attack against these anti-American types,
likewise have chosen a cute little name for our off-duty, First Amendment POLICE
ACTION. That name is:
OPERATION VAMPIRE KILLER 2000
It is felt that this name reflects the actual program in which officers are involved,
designed to stop or "kill off" the ongoing, elitist, covert operation which has been
installed in the American system with great stealth and cunning. They, the globalists,
have stated that the date of termination of the American way of life is the year 2000.
Therefore it is fitting that our date to terminate, at the very least; their plan, is also the
year 2000.
LET IT BE WELL UNDERSTOOD, WE PROTECTORS OR THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE HAVE NOT ASKED FOR THIS BATTLE. IT IS OUR NATION'S ENEMIES
WHO HAVE BROUGHT THIS FIGHT TO THE VERY DOOR OF EVERY GOOD
AMERICAN.
BE IT RESOLVED:
* Our prayer and promise is to do all within our power, as faithful countrymen, to
overthrow this evil, treasonous plan in a completely non-violent, lawful manner.
* Our sworn duty is to protect the people of this nation and its Constitutional, republican
form of government from any enemy that would come against it.
* Our pledge is that WE WILL, BY EVERY MEANS GIVEN UNTO US, UPHOLD
OUR OATHS AND FULFILL OUR SWORN DUTY TO OUR COUNTRYMEN.
PUTTING THE STAKE THROUGH DRACULA'S HEART
WHAT CAN WE DO, WHAT SHOULD WE DO? The Globalists' agenda is a diabolical
program which, through patient gradualism, is slowly draining the moral, economic and
political life blood from the United States and the hard working American people.
We in America, Officers and private citizens alike, are fortunate that at this moment in
our history we can still LAWFULLY EXTERMINATE these parasitic Global Blood
Suckers by placing numerous "STAKES" made of words, paper, pen, and hard work
through their hardened hearts.
EVIDENTIARY FOUNDATION
Presented here are oft-used, famous quotes and statements which will make for easy
reference for those who wish to use them to educate our fellow officers, National
Guardsmen and military, or the private sector. As the reader will see, most of these
statements have been around for many decades and are known by those who study history
and the machinations of megalomaniacs known today as Globalists. Most are not new
revelations, but just the opposite; however, few will ever be found in the controlled press.
There are literally thousands of such well-worn statements about the coming world
government. We have selected some of the very best and well known.
INVESTIGATOR'S NOTE: As the investigator will notice not all of the quotes are
documented as to date and place of utterance. This will trouble some. If this is a problem
to the reader, he should either eliminate those quotes, or consider, as police investigators
do, the great preponderance of evidence pointing toward a given hypothesis! In addition,
as in other investigations, sometimes the investigator must look at the results to
accurately check the validity of the information one is receiving. This is to say, that many
times we must look to see if what the statement purported would occur, ACTUALLY
OCCURRED, in order to check and see if the original information received was valid. As
the investigator will recognize, this same process used by law enforcement in proving the
reliability of a Confidential Informant (CI). The reader will readily see that what the
undocumented statements listed in this publication exposed, or stated would occur in the
future, has either occurred, or is in the process of taking place today. Therein lies the
proof of the original statements and why they were chosen to be included in this
publication.
FACTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES
FROM THEIR WORKS YOU WILL KNOW THEM. Here are their words and works,
and some very important evidence (STAKES) to use to expose and "kill off" the World
Government Vampires in our society. In addition to this are included other pertinent
materials (government maps, etc.) all of which revealed other parts of the same
treasonous operation.
With these facts in hand, our nation's internal protectors, police and National Guardsmen,
will be able to alert even the most hard headed of our colleagues to understand that:
VERY SOON, IF WE DO NOT STOP THESE WORLD GOVERNMENT
PROPONENTS, AND INSTALL IN PLACES OF LEADERSHIP HONORABLE MEN
AND WOMEN, ALL MILITARY, NATIONAL GUARDSMEN AND OFFICERS OF
THE LAW WILL BE USED AS THE "ENFORCEMENT ARM" TO GUARANTEE A
FULL COMPLEMENT OF "VOLUNTEERS" FOR THESE IMPERIALISTS'
"PEACEFUL" SOCIALIST GLOBAL SOCIETY.
EXPOSURE IS THE DEATH KNELL OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER
Investigating Officers always must demand proof of a crime. No assumptions can stand
alone. Here are the confessions right from the mouths of these parasites of liberty. Once
armed with this information, our PLAN is simply for each officer to take this publication,
make copies of it (or order more copies) and pass them out ASAP to every Police Officer
and National Guardsmen he knows. All officers, for their own welfare, and in order to be
of assistance, need these facts. Keep in mind that these global government Blood
Suckers, just like the old movie Vampires, must do their dirty deeds in darkness. The
purpose of this publication is to bring that darkness to light! If we do this, the only other
activity we "Police Against the New World Order" need apply is to UPHOLD OUR
OATH OF OFFICE. In other words, our duty is to protect the people and their rights
under the U.S. and State Constitutions.
We welcome everu Internal Protector that loves liberty and has taken an oath "to protect
our U.S. Constitution and the freedoms of their fellow countrymen", to join us in
SAYING "NO" TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER.
WHAT "NEW WORLD" ??
Man's desire to rule the world is as old as his presence on the earth. The "New" World
Order is actually the same old plan for world dominion. Biblical history itself shows this
to be true. The tower of Babel was one such futile attempt by men to set up a ONE
WORLD SOCIETY without God. And God Himself crushed it. Satan tempted even
Jesus, promising Him world dominion as His reward. This same promise has been given
to scores of other men over the ages. History tells of many who have accepted the Great
Deceiver's terms. This diabolical quest has continued on through the 19th Century and
into the 20th with national and world figures each successively making plans for world
rule. Listed here are but a few of such statements from many past decades up to the
present.
HOW SHALL WE KNOW?
Some among us ask, "How shall we know when tyranny has come to America's door?"
There are very few answers that our Founding Fathers failed to leave us regarding the
proper and improper role of government. Here is the answer to the question of how we
shall recognize tyranny:
"SINGLE ACTS OF TYRANNY MAY BE ASCRIBED TO THE ACCIDENTAL
OPINION OF A DAY; BUT A SERIES OF OPPRESSIONS, BEGUN AT A
DISTINGUISHED PERIOD, AND PURSUED UNALTERABLY THROUGH EVERY
CHANGE OF MINISTERS (ADMINISTRATIONS) TOO PLAINLY PROVES A
DELIBERATE, SYSTEMATIC PLAN OF REDUCING US TO SLAVERY." - Thomas
Jefferson. (Has tyranny come to America?)
Another of our Founders said - "WHEN THE GOVERNMENT FEARS THE PEOPLE
THERE IS LIBERTY; WHEN THE PEOPLE FEAR THE GOVERNMENT THERE IS
TYRANNY". (There is no question at this time in our history that Americans fear their
government.)
FAMOUS AND INFAMOUS QUOTES
Like the legendary Vampire Dracula lays claim to his victims, the Globalist slowly drains
the essence of life and liberty from our Land. While it may be surprising to some, we will
begin this overview of U.S. treason and debauchery with America's current, number one
proponent of world conquest, President George Bush:
GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH, President of U.S., CFR Director, Trilateralist,
"Lip-reader", CIA Director. Bush, one moonlit night in 1948 at Yale University, crawled
naked into a coffin. With 15 brother "Bonesmen" (as they call one another) encircling
him, he told personal tales of debauchery, took an occult oath, was raised ("born-again")
as a MAN-GOD, jumped into a pile of mud, thus joining the occult, elitist Skull & Bones
Society. He, indeed, is still a "Boner" today.
Bush spoke before Congress on Sept. 11, 1990, delivering a speech which he entitled
"Toward a New World Order". Addressing the subject of his Gulf War, he made his first
public utterance of his, and his rich cronies' plans for a world imperialism in stating that
the war in Iraq was "...a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of
cooperation. Out of these troubled times...a new world order can emerge."
Let us take a moment to compare the statements of the "Father of our Republic" with
those of Internationalist George "Boner" Bush:
"The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is in extending our
commercial relations to have as little political connection as possible." "...Why, by
interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and
prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalships, interest, humor, or caprice?" "...It
is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign
world." - George Washington, September 19, 1796. (Which George should we follow?)
Bush has given his New World Order (NWO) pep talks at least 20 times over the last two
years for various groups around the world. Space does not allow us to list all of these
treasonous discourses; however, several more are listed further on in this report.
NOTE: DON'T MISTAKE THIS "BUSH BASHING" AS ANTI
REPUBLICANISM!
Many of our Officers are deeply involved in either the Socialist Republican Party or the
Socialist Democratic Party. Both parties have played a large part in setting America on
the course toward 3rd World Nation status. Bill Clinton's goals are identical to Bush's --
A New World Order Imperialism. Perot's ideas for government are also pro-globalism.
We can give Bush credit that his recent unabashed utterances of his dream of a New
World Order served to awaken at least a few slumbering Americans. These Americans
now understand that, what was long planned and covertly implemented, is well on its way
to fruition. Some will remember historical accounts of other megalomaniacs of the past
who acted upon similar global ambitions. Several of the following are relatively recent
examples:
ADAM WISEHOPHF, Professor at Germany's Ingolstadt University, founded The Order
of the Illuminati on May 1, 1776. This man designed the very plan of world domination
that is still in use today to enslave the world's masses. Here, upon establishing his "Order
of the Illuminati", he smugly reflects on his "conning" the gullible Christians of his day,
saying:
"The most wonderful thing of all is that the distinguished Lutheran and Calvinist
theologians who belong to our order really believe that they see in it (Illuminati) the true
and genuine sense of Christian Religion. Oh mortal man, is there anything you cannot be
made to believe?"
Evidently not! And a high percentage of Christians today are still being conned in the
same way. One prime example of this are the millions of Christians, and most church
denominations, who have fallen for the NWO plan of a "One World RELIGION", being
spearheaded by the United Nations' National and World Counsel of Churches, behind the
battle cry of ecumenicalism.
Watch the future and we will see only small groups of spiritual Americans, who will
resist following the millions of "religious" lambs to the slaughter. The Lord of the Bible
always warned His people to never follow the MULTITUDE.
WORLD AND NATIONAL LEADERS POINT THE WAY
Let us continue with statements from those who over the last few generations have
recognized the One World conspiracy.
BENJAMIN DISRAELI, Prime Minister of England, was attributed with this statement
in 1844: "The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by
those who are not behind the scenes."
WINSTON CHURCHILL, Prime Minister of England, stated to the London Press in
1922: "From the days of Sparticus Wisehophf, Karl Marx, Trotski, Belacoon, Rosa
Luxenburg, and Ema Goldman, this world conspiracy has been steadily growing. This
conspiracy played a definite recognizable role in the tragedy of the French revolution. It
has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the 19th Century. And
now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities
of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their head and
have become the undisputed masters of that enormous empire."
JUSTICE FELIX FRANKFURTER, U.S. Supreme Court Justice: "The real rulers in
Washington are invisible and exercise power from behind the scenes."
JOHN F. HYLAN, Mayor of New York 1918 - 1925, said "The real menace of our
Republic is the invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs
over our cities states and nation."
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, U.S. President, in a letter written Nov. 21, 1933 to
Colonel E. Mandell House, Roosevelt states: "The real truth of the matter is, as you and I
know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government of the U.S.
since the days of Andrew Jackson." (History points to the last truly honorable and
incorruptible American president as Andrew Jackson "Old Hickory".)
ROWAN GAITHER, President of the Ford Foundation, in 1954 lends proof to what we
know to be fact today, namely that many of our Presidents have been a knowing part of
this World Conquest plot. Mr. Gaither stated to Congressional Reese Commission
investigator Norman Dodd: "We operate here under directives which emulate from the
White House...The substance of the directives under which we operate is that we shall
use our grant making power to alter life in the United states so that we can comfortably
be merged with the Soviet Union." (Ike was President at the time.)
CARROLL QUIGLEY, Professor of History at Georgetown University, member of the
CFR (one of the U.S. Organizations dedicated to World Government) stated in his book
"Tragedy & Hope": "The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is the American Branch of
a society which originated in England... (and) ...believes national boundaries should be
obliterated and one-world rule established." (Professor Quigley, according to his book,
was totally dedicated to the One World Government program. Hundreds of our City,
State and National politicians are members of this and other NWO groups. Governor
Clinton, for example, attended Georgetown U. and stated that his mentor, Professor Q.,
taught him so many wonderful things. Since Gov. Clinton and his wife are totally
dedicated, International Socialists amd NWO promoters, perhaps Prof. Q. did have a
great affect!)
BARRY GOLDWATER, U.S. Senator (Arizona) in his book "WITH NO APOLOGIES"
stated this about another Globalist group: "The Trilateralist Commission is
international...(and)...is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the
commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the
United States. The Trilateralist Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to
seize control and consolidate the four centers of power - POLITICAL, MONETARY,
INTELLECTUAL, and ECCLESIASTICAL."
PETER HOAGLAND, Nebraska State Senator and Humanist, speaking on radio in 1983
with the great American Pastor and Patriot Everett Sileven said: "Fundamental, Bible
believing people do not have the right to indoctrinate their children in their religious
beliefs because we, the state, are preparing them for the year 2000, when America will be
part of a one-world global society and their children will not fit in."
DAVID ROCKEFELLER, International billionaire, Humanist, CFR kingpin, founder of
the Trilateralist Commission, World Order Godfather (and in all probability the High
School graduate voted "Most Likely to Be Hanged for Treason"), voiced his praise of the
controlled U.S. media for keeping their oath not to divulge the Globalist plans to the
public. Speaking to his fellow conspirators at a meeting, June 1991 in Baden Baden,
Germany, of yet one more infamous World Order group, the Bilderbergers, Mr.
Rockefeller said:
"We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and
other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their
promises of descretion for almost forty years."
He went on to explain:
"It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been
subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more
sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational
sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national
autodetermination practiced in past centuries."
(It is not reported if the attendees kissed his ring - or anything else - after their leader
bestowed his blessing on those in attendance). Actually, we could ask Governor Clinton
or Dan Quayle, both of whom were there. Bush and Clinton are Bilderbergers,
Internationalists, and their goals are exactly the same for America.
Let us repeat ... CLINTON'S, BUSH'S, AND PEROT'S, PLANS FOR AMERICA ARE
VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL. The Republicans and Democrats goals for America are
virtually identical. They both are taking our nation into global government.
Globalist Mr. Dan Quayle was there at the June 91 meeting being sized up as a possible
Bilderberger U.S. Presidential contender for 1996. The major media's job is to convince
Americans that the Republicans and Democrats are on opposite sides and fighting each
other.
JAMES PAUL WARBURG, Foreign Agent of the Rothschild Dynasty, major player in
the Federal Reserve Act scam: on February 17, 1950, while speaking before the United
States Senate, this pompous Internationalist boasted confidently, "We shall have World
Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government
will be achieved by conquest or consent."
ROBERT KENNEDY, former U.S. Attorney General of the U.S.: "All of us will
ultimately be judged on the effort we have contributed to building a NEW WORLD
ORDER." - 1967 (We can all agree with Robert on one thing: All traitors who participate
in the NWO WILL be judged one day!)
THE WORLD MONEY POWERS
The Global MONEY Vampires are in control of the finances of most of the world. Here
are some statements of those who, past and present, have been aware of that control:
GEORGE W. MALLONE, U.S. Senator (Nevada), speaking before Congress in 1957,
alluded to the families that secretly own the "Federal" Reserve Bank and control the
finances of the U.S.. He stated:
"I believe that if the people of this nation fully understood what Congress has done to
them over the last 49 years, they would move on Washington; they would not wait for an
election.... It adds up to a preconceived plan to destroy the economic and social
independence of the United States!"
THOMAS JEFFERSON, U.S. President: "I believe that banking institutions are more
dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied
aristocracy that has set the Government at defiance. The issuing power should be taken
from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs."
JAMES A. GARFIELD, U.S. President: "Whoever controls the volume of money in any
country is absolute master of all industry and commerce."
HENRY FORD, Founder of Ford Motor Company, commented on the privately owned
"Federal" Reserve System scam: "It is well enough that people of the nation do not
understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a
revolution before tomorrow morning."
LEWIS MCFADDIN, U.S. Congressman, said this about those same international
financial conspirators, during the very time they were taking over the monetary control of
America: "We have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever
known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks, hereinafter
called the FED. They are not government institutions. They are private monopolies which
prey upon the people of these United States for the benefit of themselves and their
foreign customers..."
AMERICAN MERCURY MAGAZINE, December 1957, pg. 92. "The invisible Money
Power is working to control and enslave mankind. It financed Communism, Facism,
Marxism, Zionism and Socialism. All of these are directed to making the United States a
member of World Government..."
(With very little study one can easily prove the above is 100% correct)
MAYER AMSCHEL BAUER, (alias Rothschild/Head Bloodsucker) The Godfather of
the Rothschild Banking Cartel of Europe stated, "Give me control of a nation's money
and I care not who makes the laws."
(Our Congress gave him and fellow international Bankers complete control of the U.S.
monetary system through passage of the "Federal Reserve Act, the Income Tax Act, and
the 17th Amendment in 1913.)
ROTHSCHILD BROTHERS OF LONDON. In a letter discussing their new banking
scheme with fellow conspirators, June 25, 1863, they stated:
"The few who understand the system, will either be so interested in its profits, or so
dependent on its favors that there will be no opposition from that class. The great body of
people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantages will bear its
burden without complaint".
(This was long before their takeover of the U.S. banking system).
RUSSELL MUNK, Assistant General Counsel, Dept. of the Treasury, in a 1977 letter
admitted: "Federal Reserve Notes Are Not Dollars."
(Then what is that paper stuff in your wallet?)
ONE LAST WORD ON THE MONEY VAMPIRES: Do we wonder why so many
Americans are being sucked dry and are losing their homes, farms and businesses each
week? Is it just "cyclical (temporary) economic downturn" as the Establishment
"Experts" and controlled media tell us? That is a fabrication to the 10th power. If any
Officer doubts this after reading the preceding statements by the money parasites, it
would be wise to consider this secret communique circulated among the leading U.S.
Bankers only, way back in 1934, entitled,
THE BANKERS' MANIFESTO
"Capital must protect itself in every way ... Debts must be collected and loans and
mortgages foreclosed as soon as possible. When through a process of law the common
people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and more easily governed by the
STRONG ARM OF THE LAW (Cops) applied by the central power of leading
financiers. People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. This is well known
among our principle men now engaged in forming an imperialism of capitalism to govern
the world. By dividing the people we can get them to expend their energies in fighting
over questions of no importance to us except as TEACHERS OF THE COMMON
HERD." (Taken from the Civil Servants' Year Book, "The Organizer" Jan. 1934.)
When, fellow "Strong-Arms-of-the-Law", Americans are now losing 4,000 homes, 2,000
farms, 2,500 businesses per week to the Money Vampires who made the prior statement.
Is it just a coincidence? How many homes, businesses and farms have you helped to take
away from good Americans for the IRS/Banksters? For those Officers who still do not
know it, "YES, THE IRS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE WORLD ORDER PLAN
TO DIVEST AMERICANS OF THEIR WEALTH, AND MAKE THE PEOPLE
THEMSELVES PAY FOR THEIR OWN NATIONAL DESTRUCTION."
The above should make every Officer stop and think before assisting the bankers or
"their" IRS government revenue agents.
It happens a thousand times a day across this land that our fellow Officers are
unknowingly made a party to fraud and theft. And if you are one such Officer, then YOU
unknowingly become the "executioners" for the men behind this diabolical system. Take
heart, Officer. You can learn, as many others have, how to be a VAMPIRE KILLER,
uphold your oath to protect the American People, and at the same time stay within the
law.
MEDIA BLACKS OUT THE FACTS
"BUT SURELY, IF THIS WORLD CONSPIRACY WERE TRUE I WOULD HAVE
HEARD ABOUT IT IN THE DAILY NEWS!"
As in all investigations, it always comes down to, "How can we prove our case?" We
personally feel it's hard to top the proof coming from the mouths of the very ones
involved in this treacherous unAmerican program. Here's one terrific example. John
Swinton, the former Chief of Staff for the New York Times, was one of America's best
loved newspapermen. Called by his peers "The Dean of his Profession", John was asked
in 1953 to give a toast before the New York Press Club, and in so doing made a
monumentally important and revealing statement. He is quoted as follows:
"There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America as an independent
press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest
opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am
paid weekly for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others
of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish
as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I
allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours
my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth; to
lie outright; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country
and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it and what folly is this toasting
an independent press? We are the tools and vassals pf rich men behind the scenes. We are
jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our
lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."
Hard to believe? If there is any doubt -- read on.
RICHARD M. COHAN, Senior Producer of CBS political news said: "We are going to
impose OUR AGENDA on the coverage by dealing with the issues and subjects WE
choose to deal with."
RICHARD SALANT, former President of CBS News stated: "Our job is to give people
not what they want, but what WE decide they ought to have."
And what is their "agenda"? What do they believe we, the American people THE
COMMON HERD, "...ought to have"? Here is the answer:
A U.S. COMMUNIST SAYS "LIBERALISM IS SOCIALISM"
NORMAN THOMAS, For many years the U.S. Socialist Presidential candidate
proclaimed:
"The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of
"liberalism" they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day
America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."
(How sadly true his words. He (Thomas) and Gus Hall, the U.S. Communist Party
Candidate, both quit American politics, agreeing that the Republican and Democratic
parties by 1970 had adopted every plank on the Communist/Socialist and they no longer
had an alternate party platform on which to run.)
Following are some statements made by a few of America's top news personalities, but
altered just slightly. In honor of Socialist Presidential candidate Thomas, following each
use of the word "liberal" let's place also the word "socialist". This may help us gain some
insight into why America, after 70-plus years of continual "liberal" indoctrination (Brain
washing) on every media, educational, and political front, has drawn
"Socialism/Communism" and the New World Order to her bosom.
HERMAN DISMORE, foreign editor of the N.Y. Times from 1950 to 1960: "The New
York Times is deliberately pitched to the liberal (Socialist) point of view."
WALTER CRONKITE: "News reporters are certainly liberal (Socialists) and left of
center."
BARBARA WALTERS: "The news media in general are liberals (socialists)."
We could go on, but I believe we get their point!
WORLD GOVERNMENT UNDER THE UNITED NATIONS
Just what is this "wonderful" global organization all about?
DR. KURK E. KOCH, Professor, Lectured at 100 Universities in 65 countries on 5
continents. Subjects of expertise: New World Order, Occultism, Extreme Movements,
Parapsychology. His accessment of the coming NWO under the United Nations is that it
will reduce everything to one common denominator:
"The system will be made up of a single currency, single centrally financed government,
single tax system, single language, single political system, single world court of justice,
single head (one individual leader), single state religion."
He further states: "Each person will have a registered number, without which he will not
be allowed to buy or sell; and there will be one universal world church. Anyone who
refuses to take part in this universal system will have no right to exist."
We should ask the following question of those fellow Officers who may doubt that they
will be asked to enforce such a system on the American people, "Whom do they think
will enforce all of this? Who will make the masses "fit-in"? Who will "remove" those
who do not fit-in? Will it be the auto mechanics, bankers, school teachers, bakers, or
candlestick makers??? Or, is it more likely to be Enforcement Officers?
JOHN E. RANKIN, U.S. Congressman: "The United Nations is the greatest fraud in all
History. Its purpose is to destroy the United States."
GEORGE BUSH, New York 1991, "My vision of a NEW WORLD ORDER foresees a
United Nations with a revitalized peacekeeping function."
And one more classic quote from our traitor President: "It is the SACRED principles
enschrined in the UN Charter to which we will henceforth pledge our allegiance." - UN
Building, February 1, 1992.
UNBELIEVABLE! That ought to FRY THE GRITS OF EVERY LAWMAN AND
TRUE AMERICAN THAT READS THIS QUOTE. Brother and sister Officers, how
many of you are going to take a "sacred" oath of allegiance to the U. N. World
Government?
Imagine, there will still be a few of our fellow Officers who will read this treasonous
claptrap and not believe that they will soon be ENFORCERS in a totalitarian world
government.
There is no question that Bush, Clinton and Perot want Officers to join them in swearing
allegiance to such as the following:
UNITED NATIONS' WORLD CONSTITUTION: "...The age of nations must end... The
governments of the nations have decided to order their separate sovereignties into one
government to which they surrender their arms."
NEED WE SAY MORE?
We must, with great haste, awaken our fellow officers and ask them, "Will you pledge
your allegiance to this NEW SLAVE STATE as your traitor President or his fellow
Internationalist Slick Willie Clinton and H. Ross Perot believe you will??
ZBIGNIEW BREZHINSKY, National Security Advisor to Pres. Jimmy Carter and
advisor to 4 other presidents, Exec. Dir. of Trilateral Comm. Marxist and proud of it!
Here he speaks about what a New World Order will be like: "The technetronic era
involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be
dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values."
WE MUST MAKE OFFICERS LISTEN! Whom do we think will "dominate" the masses
in this UN-controlled society of "non-traditional" (unGodly) values?
ZBIGNIEW continues: "Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance
over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most
personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous
retrieval by the authorities." - From Zbig's book, BETWEEN TWO AGES.
ADLAI STEVENSON, Council on Foreign Relations member and promoter of U. N.
"Salvation": "The U.S. program (UN program) calls for total elimination of national
capacity to make international war." (Take comfort in the fact that the U.N. promises to
protect us.)
WALT RUSTOW, Council on Foreign Relations member and U.N. spokesmen: "It is in
the American interest to put an end to Nationhood." (Sure it is, Walter!)
HUMANIST MANIFESTO, Article 12: "We deplore the division of humankind on
nationalistic grounds. We have reached a turning point in human history where the best
option is to transcend the limits of national sovereignty and to move towards the building
of a world community. We look toward the development of a system of world law, world
order, based upon transnational government." (Humanists propose that the United
Nations care for and control all peoples of the earth.)
LT. COL. JAMES "BO" GRITZ (RET), U.S. Presidential Candidate 1992, Most
decorated Green Beret Commander in American history. Commander, U.S. Army Special
Forces, Latin America. Chief, Delta force. This great American hero explains the
conspiracy within the U.S. government as follows: "...A spider web of "patriots for
profit," operating from the highest positions of special trust and confidence, have
successfully circumvented our constitutional system in pursuit of a New World Order.
They have infused America with drugs in order to fund covert operations while sealing
the fate of our servicemen left in communist prisons.
Hiding behind a mask of official righteousness, this secret combination seeks to impose
its own concept of geopolitical navigation, nullifying liberty as the hard won birthright of
all Americans".
THE RELIGION OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER
DAVID SPANGLER, Director of PLANETARY INITIATIVE, (a United Nations World
government group): "No one will enter the New World Order unless he or she will make
a pledge to worship Lucifer. No one will enter the New Age unless he will take a
Luciferian Initiation."
RALPH NADER: "Is there a number or mark planned for the hand or forehead in a new
cashless society? YES, and I have seen the machines that are now ready to put it into
operation."
(Does this sound familiar - hand and forehead???) This "marking" may be another job for
our U.S. Police Officers/Guardsmen, soon to be U.N. Enforcers, who have taken the U.N.
oath of allegiance which "Boner" Bush mentioned earlier.)
FRENCH TRAVEL POSTER
A 1992 French "New World Order" Color Poster: Depicts people as robots, constructing
a new Tower of Babel inside the old tower that God had destroyed. These robotic people
are trying to reach their god who is depicted with the sign of Lucifer (The Goat of
Mendez five pointed star) above the newly built tower. The caption reads:
EUROPE: MANY TONGUES, ONE VOICE
As students of the scriptures know, the building of the Tower of Babel was man's first
attempt to set up a World Order. God Himself destroyed this abomination and punished
the people. This poster is most revealing. A copy in the right hands can assist in pointing
out to our colleagues that many of those who are in leadership in establishing this new
order are truly religious, not atheist, as we are led to believe. But, whom do they
worship? The poster clearly shows their god is Lucifer and they are proud of it. The
picture on the poster points out that the New World Order promoters know the Scriptures
and they are determined to once again defy the One True God.
We are presently in the process of trying to get several hundred of these French New
World Order Posters. It looks like we may be successful and some of you may wish to
have one. If you are interested here is the deal: The donations/proceeds from the sales of
this color poster will be used as a fundraiser to reach and educate more of our colleagues
in Law Enforcement. Order through Aid & Abet Police Newsletter for $6 single, $10 for
2, $4 for 3-5. $3 P&H for protective tube container. (If we get them in, it will have to be
"first come, first served".)
NEW-AGE PROFESSORS TEACH OUR CHILDREN'S TEACHERS
Turning now to education, let's quote a few of the top U.S. spokesmen and professors in
that field, to see the over-all philosophy used to train our teachers, who then go on to
prepare our children for the New World Order.
DR. CHESTER PIERCE, Harvard University Professor, Humanist, New World Order
Guru. This professor instructs teachers and those students who aspire to become teachers
of our children as follows:
"Every child in America who enters school at the age of five is mentally ill, because he
comes to school with an allegiance to our institutions, toward the preservation of this
form of government that we have. Patriotism, nationalism, and sovereignty, all that
proves that children are sick because a truly well individual is one who has rejected all of
those things, and is truly the international child of the future."
DR. PAUL BRANDWEIN, Leading U.S. child psychologist. This man also instructs
teachers on how to recognize mental disability in our school children. He states: "Every
child who believes in God is mentally ill." (All government schools have a psychologist.)
DR. SIDNEY SIMON, Lecturer, Educator who some say specializes in encouraging
immoral and criminal activities in youths. He instructs teachers as follows:
"We do not need any more preaching about right or wrong. The old 'thou shall nots'
simply are not relevant." Further he says, "Values clarification is a method for teachers to
change the values of children without getting caught."
HUMANIST CURRICULUM: Along with thes "Humanist Wackos" training our nation's
teachers to be "change agents" for their New World Order, there is the matter of the
literature that they have for teachers to use to instruct American children. One such book
entitled "Weep for Our Children", might explain to Police Officers a great deal about why
the crime rates in school age children are skyrocketing. Consider this one passage touting
the humanistic "Values Clarification/Situation Ethics" program:
"It's OK to lie. It's OK to steal. It's OK to have premarital sex. It's OK to cheat or to kill if
these things are part of your value system, and you clarified these values for yourself.
The important thing is not what values you choose, but that you have chosen them for
yourself and without coercion of parents, spouse, priest, friends, ministers or social
pressure of any kind."
This type of values/moral code (or lack thereof!) is all to evident in American Schools
today, as many Police Officers know. Many officers write expressing alarm at seeing this
type of unholy "Situation Ethics" instruction so wide-spread in our nation's schools.
PSYCHIATRISTS LEAD THE WAY
For decades, it has been the job of those within the psychology field to introduce to the
American Public the idea that those who believe in God are sick and must be
"enlightened" or eliminated, and that "immorality" is the only path to the NEW AGE.
And indeed it is. The several quotes below will drive home this well planned scenario.
BERTRAND RUSSELL, philosopher, educator and atheist: "I think the subject which
will be of most importance politically is Mass Psychology. ... It's importance has been
enormously increased by the growth of modern methods of propaganda ... Although this
science will be diligently studied, it will be rigidly confined to the governing class (Elite).
The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated."
One of the great Psychiatric Gurus of Mental Health speaks:
DR. G. BROCK CHISHOLM, First head of the World Federation of Mental Health (A
NWO group.) "What basic psychological distortion can be found in every civilization of
which we know anything? The only psychological force capable of producing these
perversions is morality - the concept of right and wrong. The re-interpretation and
eventual eradication of the concept of right and wrong are the belated objectives of nearly
all of psychotherapy."
"The pretence is made that to do away with right and wrong would produce uncivilized
people, immorality, lawlessness, and social chaos. The fact is that most psychiatrists and
psychologists and other respected people have escaped from moral chains and are able to
think freely." - Taken from the updated book, NONE DARE CALL IT TREASON, by
J.A. Stormer
Police Officers have been among the first to notice that such teachings have produced
exactly the results he (the good Doctor) said they would not produce. He lied. There is no
greater promoter of change than FEAR, and no greater creator of fear than chaos and
lawlessness throughout a nation. The enemy of our system knows that immorality breeds
chaos and lawlessness. Chaos and lawlessness breads fear in the people and when fearful
enough the people will accept any solution. Guess what the solution is?
We agree with Dr. Chisholm, that most of these minions of "psycho-bab ble" have truly
"escaped" from any and all moral foundation in their lives. Anything their patients dream
up is perfectly O.K. and encouraged by most such "professionals". This "there is no right
or wrong" psyco-babble is what is being drilled into the heads of those American school
children whose parents have unfortunately placed them in Government Indoctrination
Centers which we erroneously call our "educational" system.
In case any officer reading this publication thinks that this change in the morals of our
nation is accidental, he or she must read the book, "THE SOVIET ART OF
BRAINWASHING - A Synthesis of the Russian Textbook on Psychopolitics", written by
Kenneth Goff. In this book, Goff, a one time dues-paying member of the Communist
Party, writes: "During my training I was trained in Psychopolitics. This was the art of
capturing the minds of a nation through brainwashing and fake mental health."
Kenneth Goff paid a high price for his efforts to alert the American people. After
attempting to inform America of Marxist-trained Psychologists being placed inside the
U.S. to change the morals and beleifs of our nation, he mysteriously died from poisoning
in 1943. His farewell in his book says: "This manual of the Communist Party should be in
the hands of every loyal American, that they may be alerted to the fact that it is not
always by armies and guns that a nation is conquered." In this book is found an address
by Beria, the Head of the Lenin School of Psychopolitics. His 1933 address to a group of
American/Marxist Psychology students is most revealing.
Speaking to this group who would be returning to ply their treachery in the U.S. he says:
"A psychopolitician must work hard to produce the maximum chaos in the fields of
'mental healing.' You must work until every teacher of psychology unknowingly or
knowingly teaches only Communist doctrine under the guise of 'psychology.' You must
labor until every doctor and psychiatrist is either a psycho-politician or an unwitting
assistant to our aims. You must labor until we have dominion of the minds and bodies of
every important person in your nation (America). You must work until suicide arising
from mental imbalance is common and calls forth no general investigation or remark. ...
You must dominate as respected men the fields of psychiaty and psychology. You must
dominate the hospitals and universities... You can come and take your instructions as
worshippers of Freud ... Psychopolitics is a solemn charge. With it you can erase our
enemies as insects. You (psychologists) can change their (leaders) loyalties by
psychopolitics. Given a short time with a psychopolitician you can alter forever the
loyalty of a soldier in our hands or a statesman or a leader in his own country, or you can
destroy his mind.
Use the courts, use the judges, use the Constitution of the country, use its medical
societies and its laws to further our ends ... By psychopolitics create chaos. Leave a
nation leaderless. Kill our enemies. And bring to Earth, through Communism, the greatest
peace man has ever known. Thank you."
(This is only part of Beria's speech to the visiting American psychology students.)
NOTE: Everything he asked these students to accomplish when they returned to practice
their "art" in our nation has occurred. And now we can look forward to that "peace" he
promised under the U.N. New World Order.

Gerardo Sasso (c. 1040 – 3 September 1120), also known as Blessed Gérard, was an Italian lay brother in the Benedictine Order in the Catholic Church who was appointed as rector of the hospice in Jerusalem at Muristan in 1080.[1] In the wake of the success of the First Crusade in 1099, he became the founder of the Order of St John of Jerusalem, also known as the Knights Hospitaller, an organization that received papal recognition in 1113. As such, he was the first Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller.[2]
Name
Gerard Sasso became known as Pierre-Gérard de Martigues due to a mistaken tradition of his place of birth being Martigues, in Provence.[3] However, William of Tyre, writing in the late 12th century, cites Amalfi as Gerard's birthplace. This is not implausible, as merchants from Amalfi were involved in the reconstruction of the hospice in Jerusalem in the 1020s after its destruction in 1005 under caliph al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah.[4]
An alleged surname Tum, variously also Thom, Tune or Tenque, is due to an error by Pierre-Joseph de Haitze (1730),[5] who mistook the word tunc, "then", as a name of Gerard. De Haitze's mistake was identified in 1885 by Ferdinand de Hellwald.[6] Before the erroneous nature of the surname Tunc became clear, Italian historian Francesco Galeani Napione (d. 1830) Italianized Gerardus Tunc as Gerardo da Tonco, suggesting that he was a native of (or held possessions in) Tonco in Piedmont.

In Revelation 17:3-5 the apostle John describes a vision, which Rev. J. R. Church in Guardians of the Grail believes is fulfilled in the Grail legend. The Whore of Babylon is holding in her hand a golden cup full of blasphemy. Church believes the cup is the blasphemous Holy Grail Another element of the Grail legend is the spear supposed to have pierced the side of Jesus, also known as the Spear of Longinus or the Spear of Destiny. Whoever possesses this spear, so the legend goes, will rule the world. The Merovingians, whose descendants are the Habsburg pretenders to the Austrian throne today, are in possession of the spear. It is on display in the Habsburg museum in Vienna, Austria~ No one, however, knows the location of the Holy Grail. At least no one is telling. Although heretical, this secret society should not be discounted, for it is alive and well today. In fact, in 1956, an Order calling itself the Prieure de Sion, or Priory of Sion, registered itself publicly for the first time with the French government. (Sion is French for Zion.) It is from this Order that the legend of the Holy Grail originated five centuries after Christ's death. Rev. Church remarks of this organization: This mysterious group is presently made up of over 9,000 men, including Protestants, Roman Catholics, Jews, and Moslems. The members of this secret sect should be considered unfaithful to their respective beliefs, for in reality they are neither Christian nor Catholic, they are neither Jew nor Moslem. Their doctrine sidesteps the basic tenets of those beliefs and replaces them with the teachings of their greatest prophet - whom they believe to be Buddha.2 From this secret order J. R. Church believes will come the Anti-Christ, for he writes, "Their ultimate goal is world government!'

The Hospitaller commandery of Saint-Jean-d'Acre is a monumental complex founded by the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, also known as the Knights Hospitallers. It is located in the city of Saint-Jean-d'Acre (now Acre in Israel). In the 13th century, the commandery became the headquarters of the Order until the fall of the city in 1291.[1]
History
The first years
From the first years of the establishment of the Crusaders in the city, the Hospitallers received donated properties. In 1110, King Baldwin I granted the Knights Hospitaller permission to keep the constructions located north of the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. In the years 1130, the buildings were damaged during works near the church and the Hospitallers decided to move near the 12th century north wall of the city. This is the actual place of the commandery.

The Priory of Sion is an initiatory Order of chivalry, founded on July 15 1099 in Jerusalem, by Godfrey of Bouillon, at the Abbey "Our Lady of Mount Sion" as "Order of our Lady of Mount Sion."
http://www.prieure-de-sion.com/
The Order – A Brief History
The origins of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem date back to the First Crusade, when its leader, Godfrey de Bouillon, liberated Jerusalem. As part of his operations to organize the religious, military and public bodies of the territories newly freed from Muslim control, he founded the Order of Canons of the Holy Sepulchre. According to accounts of the Crusades, in 1103 the first King of Jerusalem, Baldwin I, assumed the leadership of this canonical order, and reserved the right for himself and his successors, as agents of the Patriarch of Jerusalem, to appoint Knights to it, should the Patriarch be absent or unable to do so.

The Counter-Reformation (Latin: Contrareformatio), also sometimes called the Catholic Revival,[1] was the period of Catholic resurgence that was initiated in response to, and as an alternative to or from similar insights as, the Protestant Reformations at the time. It was a comprehensive effort arising from the decrees of the Council of Trent.[2]

In 1129 the Master, accompanied by three hundred knights, recruited from the noblest houses of Europe, led a huge train of pilgrims to the Holy Land. It was at this time that the Templars formed part of the Christian contingent which, allied with the Assassins, tried to take Damascus. [And it wasn't the first time nor the last that the Christian Knights Templar, or supposedly Christian Knights Templar (they really weren't Christian at all) were allied with the Assassins.] Were they (as the Orientalist von Hammer alleges)109 connected in some secret way with the Assassins? [Yes, our research shows that it is a historical fact. And it is also a historical fact that the Assassins were prepared to adopt Christianity if they could gain greater power thereby (Christianity, that is, on the surface, just as the Knights Templar had done)]. Hammer points to the similarities of the two organizations. The followers of Hasan Ibn Sabah were in contact with the Templars, and had a similar method of organization. They were in existence before the Templars were formed: “The Ismailians ([or] Assassins) was the original, and [folks] the Order of the Templars, [was] the copy.”

The book was translated into French and published in 1772 by the French priest Jesuit Jean Joseph Marie Amiot; it was re-published in 1782. A partial translation into English was attempted by British officer Everard Ferguson Calthrop in 1905 under the title The Book of War. The first annotated English translation was completed and published by Lionel Giles in 1910.[2] Military and political leaders such as the Chinese communist revolutionary Mao Zedong, Japanese daimyō Takeda Shingen, and Vietnamese general Võ Nguyên Giáp are cited along with American military generals Douglas MacArthur and Norman Schwarzkopf Jr. as having drawn inspiration from the book.[3]

Maia (or Maja) is the Roman and Greek goddess of spring, growth, and fertility, after whom the month of May is named. As a nurturer of Earth, she represents the blossoming of nature and is often associated with the Roman goddess of flowers, Flora. She was also worshipped as a "great mother" goddess.
The Sun of May (Spanish: Sol de Mayo) is one of the national symbols of the Río de la Plata countries of Argentina and Uruguay, featured in their respective flags and coats of arms.[1][2] It is named after the May Revolution of 1810, the event that catalyzed the Independence process in the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata. It is also known as the Inca sun (Spanish: "sol incaico"),[3][4] since the most widespread explanation of its meaning is that it represents Inti, the solar god of the Incas.[1][5] However, no contemporary sources confirm an Inca origin for the symbol and this claim which emerged later with the development of Argentine historiography.[1] The Sun of May design appears to be heir to the long previous use of the "sun in splendour" in European heraldry.[5][6]

Fulcanelli’s main strategy, the key to unraveling the mystery, lies in an understanding of what he calls the “phonetic law” of the “spoken cabala,” or the “language of the birds.” This punning, multilingual wordplay can be used to reveal unusual and, according to Fulcanelli, meaningful associations between ideas. “What unsuspected marvels we should find, if we knew how to dissect words, to strip them of their bark and liberate the spirit, the divine light which is within,” Fulcanelli writes. He claims that in our day this is the natural language of the outsiders, the outlaws and heretics at the fringes of society. (See appendix A, “Fulcanelli on the Green Language,” for the complete text of this chapter.) 6 This spoken cabala was also the “green language” of the Freemasons (“All the Initiates expressed themselves in cant,” Fulcanelli reminds us) who built the art gothique of the cathedrals. “Gothic art is in fact the art got or art cot —χοτ—the art of light or of the spirit,” Fulcanelli informs us. Ultimately the “art got,” or the “art of light,” is derived from the language of the birds, which seems to be a sort of Ur-language taught by both Jesus and the ancients."

The Roman Collegia were Ancient Masons of the Mysteries
Of the emblems of the Collegia, it is enough to say that here again we find the simple tools of the builder used as teachers of truth for life and hope in death. Upon a number of sarcophagi, still extant, we find carved the square, the compasses, the cube, the plummet, the circle, and always the level. There is, besides, the famous Collegium uncovered atthe excavation of Pompeii in 1878, having been buried under the ashes and lava of Mount Vesuvius since the year 79 A. D. It stood near the Tragic Theater, not far from the Temple of Isis, and by its arrangement,with two columns in front and interlaced triangles on the walls, was identified as an ancient lodge room. Upon a pedestal in the room was found a rare bit of art, unique in design and exquisite in execution, now in the National Museum at Naples. It is described by S. R. Forbes, in hisRambles in Naples, as follows:
It is a mosaic table of square shape, fixed in a strong wooden frame. The ground is of grey green stone, in the middle of which is a human skull, made of white, grey, and black colors. In appearance the skull is quite natural. The eyes, nostrils, teeth, ears, and coronal are all well executed. Above the skull is a level of colored wood, the points being of brass; and from the top to the point, by a white thread, is suspended a plumb-line. Below the skull is a wheel of six spokes, and on the upper rim of the wheel there is a butterfly with wings of red, edged with yellow; its eyes blue… On the left is an upright spear, resting on the ground; from this there hangs, attached to a golden cord, a garment of scarlet, also a purple robe; whilst the upper part of the spear is surrounded by a white braid of diamond pattern. To the right is a gnarled thorn stick, from which hangs a coarse, shaggy piece of cloth in yellow, grey, and brown colors, tied with a ribbon; and above it is a leather knapsack… Evidently this work of art, by its composition, is mystical and symbolical.
Here is a picture of the description above; I am more than certain many of the more informed readers of this blog have seen it before. This mosaic is from a Collegia (lodge) room. The only reason it still exists today, and was not destroyed by countless Orthodox purges, is because it was buried in volcanic ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, which made it unreachable for about 1800 years.
Therefore, the above photo of the Pompeii Mosaic that was buried in 79 AD, came from a Collegia (lodge) room, and is visible proof that this ancient organization is linked to Masonry today. One must simply look at the symbols within the Mosaic and break them down allegorically.
For those people who don’t understand the concept of an allegory, a short definition will help you better understand how it is used within Masonry,
an allegory in its most general sense is an extended metaphor. Allegoryhas been used widely throughout the histories of all forms of art, largely because it readily illustrates complex ideas and concepts in ways that are comprehensible to its viewers, readers, or listeners. Allegories are typically used as literary devices or rhetorical devices that convey hidden meanings through symbolic figures, actions, imagery, and/or events, which together create the moral, spiritual, or political meaning the author wishes to convey. One of the best known examples is Plato‘s Allegory of the Cave.

At first, the Roman Pontiff had no immediate connection with Pergamos and the hierarchy there; yet, in course of time, the Pontificate of Rome and the Pontificate of Pergamos came to be identified. Pergamos itself became part and parcel of the Roman empire, when Attalus III., the last of its kings, at his death, left by will all his dominions to the Roman people, B.c. 133.* For some time after the kingdom of Pergamos was merged in the Roman dominions, there was no one who could set himself openly and advisedly to lay claim to all the dignity inherent in the old title of the kings of Pergamos. The original powers even of the Roman Pontiffs seem to have been by that time abridged,+ but when Julius Ceasar, who had previously been elected Pontifex Maximus,{ became also, as Emperor, the supreme civil ruler of the Romans, then, as head of the Roman state, and head of the Roman religion, all the powers and functions of the true legitimate Babylonian Pontiff were supremely vested in him, and he found himself in a position to assert these powers.

Juliet Rose Landau is a prophetess of Jesus Christ!

What is a prophetess?
Answer
A prophetess is a female prophet. The word prophet comes from the Greek word prophetes, which means “spokesman.” A prophet in the Bible is a person who proclaims God’s Word and therefore speaks for God—a spokesman for God. A prophetess was, therefore, a spokeswoman for God. The faithful prophet or prophetess was one who, regardless of whether or not he or she was listened to, spoke everything God said to speak. There are several prophetesses mentioned in the Bible.
In the Old Testament we have Miriam, the sister of Aaron and Moses, who was a prophetess (Exodus 15:20). Deborah was another prophetess, and she was also the only woman that we know of to judge Israel (Judges 4:4). Another prophetess in the Bible is Huldah, who lived in Jerusalem during the reign of King Josiah (2 Kings 22:14; 2 Chronicles 34:22). As Josiah was making reforms in Judah, he found a copy of the Law in the temple. He read it and was troubled over his nation’s disobedience. Josiah inquired of the Lord through Huldah the prophetess. Huldah prophesied a disaster that God would bring upon Judah for its idolatry, but Josiah, because of his humility and tender heart before God, would go to his grave in peace and not see the disaster (2 Chronicles 34:19–28). An unnamed prophetess is mentioned in Isaiah 8:1–4. This prophetess bore Isaiah’s son Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz, whose name was prophetic.
In the New Testament, another prophetess, Anna, is mentioned in Luke 2. Anna was a widow who spent her days in the temple fasting and praying (Luke 2:36–37). When Mary and Joseph presented the infant Jesus in the temple, Anna immediately recognized Jesus for who He was—the Messiah. She began to give thanks to God and to speak about Jesus to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem (verse 38). Four more prophetesses are mentioned in Acts 21:9. The four virgin daughters of Philip the evangelist were known for their prophecies. We aren’t told the content of their prophecies, but it’s likely that some of the prophecies concerned Paul’s visit to Jerusalem and pending arrest.
The Bible also mentions two false prophetesses, women who claimed to speak God’s word but were lying. One of these false prophetesses is a woman named Noadiah who was part of the conspiracy to make Nehemiah afraid to follow God (Nehemiah 6:14). The other is an unnamed false prophetess referred to as “Jezebel” in Revelation 2:20; this Jezebel-like woman was teaching the church at Thyatira to follow idols and leading them into sexual immorality.
The Bible tells us that prophecies will be spoken in the last days by both men and women, young and old, regardless of social status, as God pours out His Spirit (Joel 2:28; Acts 2:17). This was seen on the Day of Pentecost, when God bypassed the priests and scribes and spoke to the people of Jerusalem through the “common” people of the fledgling church, much to everyone’s amazement (Acts 2:12; 4:13).

Moon landing memories: Vietnam War appeared to stop for moon walk
From the Star readers share moon landing memories series
Crosby McDowell Jul 26, 2019
When Apollo 11 lifted off from Cape Canaveral at 9:32 a.m., July 16, 1969, it was already 9:32 p.m. of the same day in my little world located 5 miles south of DaNang RVN. I was an Infantry Captain assigned as a Military Advisor to the 4th Battalion of the 51st ARVN Regiment in my eighth month of my first Vietnam tour. I had been with this South Vietnamese Battalion the whole tour and knew the Battalion Staff and Company Commanders well. A number of the officers in the Battalion had trained in the U.S. at either RangerSchool or AirborneSchool and several had attended one of the Officers Basic Courses. The South Vietnamese soldiers were about as Americanized as their meager income would allow and they had an appetite for our music, cigarettes and beer. Lesser known to me, the North Vietnamese also shared some of that appetite. The window to reality for us all, Vietnamese and Americans alike, was the radio and almost every one on both sides of the conflict had access to a small one to carry in the field. They brought us music, the sound of a woman’s voice and news. The Armed Forces Vietnam Network provided a 24 hour English radio station. Both the North and South Vietnamese had their own radio stations with a news and music slant that reflected their political origin.
One hundred and nine hours after the Apollo 11 lift off from Cape Canaveral, my ARVN Infantry Battalion was approximately 20 miles southwest of DaNang and in contact with elements of a North Vietnamese Infantry Regiment which we had found the day before. When it was approaching 10 p.m. EDT on July 20, 1969, in the USA, it was 10 a.m. on July 21, 1969, on the hot humid lowlands of I Corp RVN. Moonrise was early morning around 3:30 a.m. and by 10 a.m., a 40% moon was almost directly overhead. The Apollo 11 crew was completing their pre EVA checklist, and AFVN Radio was carrying every word. We were all in awe of the history and the event.
Contact with the NVA elements around 9:30 a.m., had for short periods, been somewhat heavy. Vietnam was a land of constant sound of warfare. Artillery fire from the big U.S. Marine firebases would roll across the plains of our base camp near DaNang. But, in the field and much further away, the sounds could be heard from the impact of shells. This was a sound like a rolling thunder from the rounds as far away as 10 or 15 miles and a sort of “crack/whump” for the close in fire that I was usually directing at the request of my Montagnard Major who was in command of the ARVN Battalion. When in contact, the pop of small arms fire and the crack of rounds passing nearby us were constant reminders of the lethal business at hand. Aircraft were constantly overhead, particularly as a result of our relative close proximity to the big DaNang Airbase. However, by 10:15 a.m., it had slowed to a trickle of sporadic weapons fire and I commented to my American Team Sergeant, Sgt. Ed Kadle from northern California, on how quiet it had become. There seemed only to be the sound of constant flies and an occasional crackle of the radio mixed with the humid smell of sweat and unwashed bodies as we lay crouched in the sun, looking up and the moon, listening to the radio transmissions of Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong. If for me, Vietnam was ever surreal, it was at that time, because as Neil Armstrong opened the hatch the war stopped dead in its tracks at about 10:30 a.m., July 21, 1969 in RVN.

The 1987 WWF Slammy Awards, mockingly marketed as the "37th Annual Slammy Awards," was the second-ever WWF award show, held in Atlantic City and featuring musical performances, including Vince McMahon's famous "Stand Back" performance. It was a chaotic, often parody-style event promoting the "Piledriver" music album, featuring various wrestler musical numbers and comedy segments.
Key Details of the 1987 Slammy Awards (37th Annual):
Date: December 16, 1987 (Taped); Aired in syndication later.
Location: Caesars Atlantic City, NJ.
Hosts: Jesse "The Body" Ventura and "Mean" Gene Okerlund.
Highlights: Vince McMahon singing "Stand Back" with Hulk Hogan on bass, plus Jimmy Hart performing "Girls in Cars".
Context: While called the 37th to make the event seem bigger than it was, it was only the second Slammy ceremony, following the 1986 inaugural event.
Winners: Included awards for "Best Producer," "Best Individual Singer," and various in-ring accomplishments.
The show is remembered fondly for its campy, over-the-top atmosphere, setting the tone for future WWE award shows, which are often highly produced, unlike the theatrical variety show format of this 1987 production.

Vietnam looks to Israel’s hi-tech industry for opportunity as diplomatic ties at a high - interview
Israeli ambassador Yaron Mayer told the ‘Post’ that Jerusalem-Hanoi relations were at an all-time high.
By DANIELLE GREYMAN-KENNARD
FEBRUARY 1, 2026 09:33
Updated: FEBRUARY 1, 2026 16:22
While Israeli diplomacy undoubtedly has become more complex since the October 7 massacre, the relationship between Jerusalem and Hanoi has flourished, according to Israeli Ambassador to Vietnam Yaron Mayer.
“The conflict has naturally raised concerns but did not dominate bilateral engagement,” he told The Jerusalem Post in a recent interview. “Diplomatic dialogue remained professional, respectful, and focused on cooperation. Long-term partnerships were not disrupted.”
“Vietnam maintains a balanced stance, supporting a two-state solution while continuing to value Israel as a top-tier technological partner,” he added.
Mayer, who is also Israel’s ambassador to Laos, has worked for more than a decade in Israeli diplomacy. He previously served as ambassador to Myanmar and Nepal.
Mayer said he has devoted much of his time to developing bonds on a local level. Celebrating his first Vietnamese New Year, which fell on his seventh month in the country, he joined a kindergarten class to learn how to make traditional Vietnamese Trung, a square cake made of sticky rice, green beans, and meat.
Mayer, whose mother was a famed artist born in London, also reflected on both the challenge and the beauty of learning to write a traditional word under the guidance of a calligrapher in Hanoi. The Chinese script, commonly hung on the walls of Vietnamese homes to bring good luck, was demonstrated by a local man who taught him how to write the word “AN,” meaning peace.
Vietnam boosts Israel ties with tech cooperation, tourism push
The relationship between the two countries is at an all-time high, he said, citing recent accomplishments, such as the signing of the free-trade agreement in 2023. Trade is projected to exceed $4 billion by the end of 2026, he added.
Israelis might be able to travel to Vietnam without a visa in the not-too-distant future, Mayer hinted, adding that it would be a natural next step following Hanoi’s 2023 decision to extend e-visas to 90 days.
The new direct Arkia flight from Tel Aviv to Vietnam indicates that Hanoi is investing heavily in attracting Israeli tourists, he said. Last year, at least 50,000 visitors entered Vietnam with their Israeli passports, and the Vietnamese Tourism Ministry hopes to attract 300,000 Israeli travelers by 2030, he added.
Mayer said a plan was in place to increase cooperation in technology transfer, smart agriculture, climate resilience, and digital innovation within the next five years.
Much of Israel’s environmental and agricultural technology is already being employed by Vietnam, he said. The gold standard of Israeli drip irrigation is now being scaled to address water shortages and efficient irrigation in various regions, he added, and it was being used successfully in many rural parts of the country.
Perhaps because Vietnam only recognized Israel in 1993, Mayer said he was pleasantly surprised by the depth of interest in Israeli innovation across Vietnamese institutions. There is strong demand not only from the private sector, he said, but also from provincial governments and universities.
Vietnam is eager for the opportunity to benefit from Israeli technology, and there are many opportunities for Israelis, Mayer said.
He cited strong interest from Israeli start-ups and said the embassy has begun hosting “matchmaker” events, such as the Israel Technology Connection, to link Israeli start-ups with Vietnamese provincial leaders.
FPT, one of Vietnam’s largest hi-tech and pharmaceutical companies, was one of several to benefit from the work of the embassy and opened the doors to its first Israel office a few weeks ago, Yoram Noar, the head of FPT’s Israel branch, told the Post.
The new office will focus on furthering the company’s interests in the fields of artificial intelligence, cyber, and education, he said.
“I urged the ambassador to focus on the hi-tech industry to see if we could bring the Israeli companies from the hi-tech industry into Vietnam to see if we could do joint ventures,” Noar said. “We focused on hi-tech because Vietnam has great potential, and Vietnam wants to show a growth of about 10% a year, so [Hanoi] thought Israel could be a good model of how to promote [economic and hi-tech] activities.”
Last month, the Hai Phong Center for Innovation and Application of Science and Technology hosted an event that focused on Israeli technology in agriculture and water resources.
More efforts are now being made to help Israel navigate the Vietnamese paperwork, and this would remain an ongoing focus, Mayer said.

Jerusalem Corpus Separatum
...Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the
Gentiles be fulfilled. (Luke 21:24)
Corpus Separatum (Latin for "separated body") is a term used to
describe the Jerusalem area in the 1947 United Nations Partition Plan
for Palestine. According to the plan the city would be placed under
international regime, conferring it a special status due to its shared
religious importance. The Corpus Separatum was one of the main
issues of the Lausanne Conference of 1949, besides the other borders
between Israel and Palestine and the question of the right of return of
the Palestinian refugees. The plan was adopted by the General
Assembly with a two-thirds majority, although its implementation
failed and the view that Jerusalem should be the capital of both Israel
and Palestine internationally is widely supported now. (wikipedia)

Israel Resource Review, The Vatican's Jerusalem Agenda. Did
Shimon Peres make a deal with the Vatican?
Consider the evidence:
On Sept. 10, '93, just three days before the signing of the Declaration
of Principles in Washington, the Italian news magazine La Stampa
reported that part of the peace deal was an unwritten understanding that
the Vatican would receive political authority over the Old City of
Jerusalem by the end of the millennium. The newspaper reported that
Shimon Peres had promised the Pope to hand over the holy sites of
Jerusalem the previous May and that Arafat had accepted the
agreement.
In March '94, the Israeli newsmagazine Shishi published an
interview with Mark Halter, a French intellectual and close friend of
Shimon Peres. He said he delivered a letter from Peres to the Pope the
previous May, within which Peres offered the Vatican hegemony over
the Old City of Jerusalem. The article detailed Peres's offer which
essentially turned Jerusalem into an international city overseen by the
Holy See.
In March '95, the radio station Arutz Sheva announced that it had
seen a cable sent by the Israeli Embassy in Rome to the Foreign
Ministry in Jerusalem outlining the handover of the Old City of
Jerusalem to the Vatican. Two days later Haaretz published the cable on
its front page. The Foreign Ministry explained that the cable was
genuine but someone had whited out the word "not." ie We will not
transfer authority to the Vatican. Incredibly, numerous Bnei Brak rabbis
who had canceled Passover meetings with Peres over the issue of the
cable accepted the explanation and re-invited him to their homes.
The Foreign Ministry's Legal Affairs Spokesperson, Esther Samilag,
publicly complained about "various capitulations" to the Vatican. She
was immediately transferred to a post at the Israeli Embassy in
Katmandu, Nepal.
MK Avraham Shapira announced in the Knesset that he had
information that all Vatican property in Jerusalem was to become tax
18
exempt and that large tracts of real estate on Mount Zion were given to
the pope in perpetuity.
Jerusalem's late Deputy Mayor Shmuel Meir announced that he had
received "information that properties promised to the Vatican would be
granted extra-territorial status."
Beilin was forced to answer the accusations. He admitted, "Included in
the Vatican Agreement is the issue of papal properties in Israel that will
be resolved by a committee of experts that has already been formed." If
so, this committee has not since released any proof of its existence.
With all this in mind, how do we interpret the Vatican's current position
on Jerusalem?
The following report, circulated by MSANews may shed some light on
that:
Vatican City, Jun 14, 1997 (VIS) - Archbishop Renato Martino,
apostolic nuncio and Holy See permanent observer to the United
Nations, spoke June 9 on the status of Jerusalem at the New York
headquarters of the Path to Peace Foundation. The archbishop
addressed members of this foundation as well as U.S. members of the
Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem. He began by
briefly summarizing the "well-known and long-standing position of the
Holy See with regard to Jerusalem. He stated that Jerusalem "for us, of
course, along with the rest of the Holy Land, is that special link
between heaven and earth, that place where God walked and ultimately
died among men. And of course we recognize that others revere
Jerusalem as the city of David and the prophets and the city known to
Mohammed.... It is a spiritual treasure for all of humanity, and it is a
city of two peoples, Arabs and Jews, and of the three monotheistic
religions, Christianity, Judaism and Islam."
Archbishop Martino added that "in recent years it has been
increasingly difficult to break through the political and media-imposed
stranglehold on the question of Jerusalem." he recounted Jerusalem's
recent history, recalling in particular the UN's General Assembly
Resolution 181 of 1947 calling for Jerusalem to be considered a 'corpus
19
separatum' under the Trusteeship Council of the United Nations," a
resolution which Israel accepted. He pointed out that, in addressing the
gridlock which has resulted from the 1967 Israeli occupation of East
Jerusalem, "the Holy See has therefore advocated the granting to
Jerusalem of an 'internationally guaranteed special statute. That is the
phrase used by Pope John Paul II in his 1984 Apostolic Letter
'Redemption is Anno'."
This statute "asks that regardless of how the problem of sovereignty
is resolved and who is called to exercise it, there should be a supranational
and international entity endowed with means adequate to
insure the preservation of the special characteristics of the City, its Holy
Places, the freedom to visit them, its religious and ethnic communities,
a guarantee of their essential liberties, and its city plan'."
The apostolic nuncio recalled the establishment of diplomatic
relations between the Holy See and Israel in 1993, when both signed
the 'Fundamental Agreement." He noted Article 4 of this agreement
where "both the Holy See and Israel affirm their continuing
commitment to the 'Status quo' in the Christian Holy Places."
He also spoke of the problems sparked by Israel's recent
authorization of "a project for the construction of settlements in
occupied territory in East Jerusalem" for which "there was wide-spread
international condemnation." This issue, he reminded those present,
was brought before the UN Security Council on March 7 and March 21
of this year, but without resolution "because the sole country on the
Security Council which opposed the Resolution was the United States."
An Emergency Session of the General Assembly, "organized only
nine other times in the history of the United Nations" was held on April
24-25. The Holy See delegation was contacted and asked for
suggestions for a Resolution, Archbishop Martino said. And he
recounted the meetings, rough drafts of proposals and negotiations
which followed.
The approved texts of the eventual Resolution, he underlined,
contained "those points championed by the Holy See.... The General
Assembly has here called for 'internationally guaranteed provisions' -
20
the equivalent of the 'internationally guaranteed special status' called
for by Pope John Paul II. This is particularly noteworthy because in
this case, the Arab delegations all voted for this Resolution and
therefore for this provision."
"The Holy Places within Jerusalem," concluded Archbishop Martino,
"are not merely museum relics to be opened and closed by the
dominant political authority, no matter who that might be at any given
moment. They are living shrines precious to the hearts and faith of
believers." DELSS/STATUS JERUSALEM/UN:MARTINO VIS
970616 (640)
Could that supra-national entity which will oversee the international
city of Jerusalem be the Vatican just as Peres promised? And how do
we react to Jerusalem Mayor Ehud Olmert's recent announcement that
he will begin negotiations with the Vatican, but "only over holy sites?"

Even after Israel pushed it's aggressor enemies beyond Jerusalem's
boundaries in 1968, Israel remained compliant to the U.N.
recommendation by allowing the Islamic Waqf to maintain control over
the Temple Mount. I can think of no other reason why Israel did not move
in and destroy the Dome of the Rock and other Islamic edifices to take
possession of the Temple Mount other than “the times of the Gentiles”
prophetically spoken of by Jesus has not yet been fulfilled. The Daniel
chapter two Mystery Babylon Image still stands.
For the most part the world refuses to recognize Israel's sovereignty
over Jerusalem even though the United States Congress in 1995
overwhelmingly passed the "Jerusalem Embassy Act" stating that
"Jerusalem should be recognized as the capital of Israel and the United
States Embassy in Israel should be established in Jerusalem no later than
May 31, 1999." The provocative nature of this issue continues to prevent
the actual move to this day. The facts on the ground ultimately prove that
even the United States denies Israel's sovereignty over Jerusalem until this
very day.

Jerusalem Old City Initiative
The Jerusalem Old City Initiative, was bolstered by the implementation
of the Oslo Peace Accord and is a fruit of the peace process and inter faith
dialogue. The 2005 formation of The Council of the Religious Institutions
of the Holy Land with Muslims, Jews, Catholics and Christians in its
governing body has in their statement of faith the declaration of a one
world type of religion which contends that all faiths lead to the same god.
Statement of faith:
As religious leaders of different faiths, who share the conviction in the
one Creator, Lord of the Universe; we believe that the essence of
religion is to worship G-d and respect the life and dignity of all human
beings, regardless of religion, nationality and gender.

– Chapter Two –
The Rapture Will Be Canceled
Well not really canceled, perhaps we’ll just have to postpone it a couple
of times before it's called off altogether! The starting point for our little
examination will be a present day building of a Jewish Temple on the
Temple Mount, and unless you’ve been hiding under a rock you know that
millions of dollars worth of preparation have already been made toward
this end. When it begins you may want to lay down all of your
presupposition, because I’m sure of one thing, that there will be plenty of
surprises for all concerned.
However this starting point will need something bigger than money, it
will need a treaty of some sort, because Jerusalem with the Old City has
been declared an “International City” and that means it belongs to the
Nations. Jesus said, “…and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the
Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” (Luke 21:24) And
that word ‘Gentiles’ is the same word that may be translated ‘Nations’
from the original Greek, so he could have said, “until the times of the
Nations be fulfilled” because in context it actually means “nations other
than Israel”. I believe this is a reference to the same event described at the
end of Daniel Chapter Two where the Mystery Babylon Image is
obliterated at Messiah's Appearing.
The rebuilding of the Jewish Temple and re-institution of the Priest
Temple Sacrifice System have been foretold numerous times through the
Old Testament. But, every instance of this prophecy has been followed by
its fulfillment with the Rebuilt Temple after the Babylonian Captivity and
the seventy years Desolation even though it was not built completely to
the specifications of the book of Ezekiel, (I believe it will never be built to
those specifications until after Jesus returns). Does this mean there will
not be another attempt to build the Jewish Temple and restore the Priest
Temple Sacrifice System before the Messiah returns?
It is very likely that there will be an attempt to build a Third Jewish
Temple, but it may or may not be completed, because the Bible does not
23
have one prophecy of the rebuilding of this Temple that was given after
the actual Second Temple was completed as chronicled at Ezra chapter six,
(which was later refurbished and expanded by Herod). The omission of
such prophecy and specific language detailing a Third Temple may lead us
to safely conclude that such prophecies have been completely fulfilled and
any attempt to build another Temple in this era may or may not reach
fruition.
When an agreement or treaty does arise which includes the building of a
New Temple, for many in the Christian and Evangelical World this will be
the starting shot for what they believe to be a Seven Year Tribulation
Period which is based upon a non-literal interpretation of the Daniel
Seventy Weeks prophecy. The Daniel text simply does not support this
supposition because it is based solely upon conjecture. Taken literally the
events of Daniel’s Seventy Weeks were allotted a four hundred and ninety
year time period within which to be fulfilled and history shows that it has
been completely fulfilled. More about this later.
Nevertheless it is more than likely that a Third Temple will commence
to be built to the end of restoring the Priest Temple Sacrifice System. And
when this happens all of the Rapture enthusiasts will become very excited.
But their enthusiasm will be shortly tempered when they do not begin to
fly away. All of the Pre-Tribulation Rapturists will suddenly join the Mid-
Tribulation Rapture camp and hunker down for another three and a half
years.
The Politician who is assigned to bring this Treaty or Agreement will be
identified by the adherents of the Left Behind/Seven Year Tribulation
scheme of Eschatology as the Anti-Christ character commensurate with
those fictional books. They will not be disappointed in the fact that any
treaty will be broken and it is unlikely that the Temple Sacrifice System
will even be instituted. Whether the Sacrifice actually begins or not, just
the end of the agreement will be enough to qualify as “putting an end to
the sacrifice” as required by the script.
The script calls for this to happen in the middle of the Pseudo
Seventieth Week and will be followed as close as possible so that when the
first three and a half years pass the Rapture adherents will once again be
ready to be raptured into the air to meet Jesus and the dead in Christ! But
24
they will be disappointed once again requiring a last grasp to the Post-
Tribulation Rapture position. Of course this last three and a half years will
pass in desperate anticipation by those who have now been disappointed
twice. Surely this final wait will be absolutely secure in its expectation
because in the minds of those indoctrinated in the Left Behind-Seven Year
Tribulation Deception there is no other position to move to.
By the end of this Counterfeit Seventieth Week enough of the attributes
of the Fictional Series will be accomplished to satisfy its true believers.
The Puppet False Anti-Christ who makes and or breaks the treaty will be
deposed or worse. This will also be the final blow to the Rapture and for
its adherents, the death of hope for a resurrection event that precedes the
grave. The New World Social-Economic Order with its main features:
Social Justice, Charity in Truth, Financial and Religious Equality (Social-
Commu-Facism) will be introduced to a world that has been thoroughly
conditioned for the event by a team of New World Leaders.
These leaders, with the True Anti-Christ who will assuage their
disappointment by proclaiming, “I Am the Vicar of Christ, the true
fulfillment of the prophecy and now begins a Millennial Reign. an
Evolution to a New World Social-Economic Order of Peace.” A Jubilee
will be proclaimed, National Debts will be forgiven to kick off the New
Fair and Equal Monetary System. The Three Great Mono-Theistic
Religions will be united in peace. It will be like heaven on earth! The
requirement of forced peace, like Pax Romana will tell the tale, as the
Messiah warned, “the violent take it by force.” No one will ever be forced
into the true Kingdom of God, this would violate the very principle of the
Gospel of the Kingdom which requires voluntary repentance. This is why
Social-Commu-Facism is an abomination to God.
All of the Ecumenical Evangelical Religious leaders will affirm to their
congregations, “that there has always been a debate about the Rapture...
Pre – Mid – Post – Tribulation, so that we should not be disappointed
because what is sure is the gospel that we have learned for the last hundred
years. Don’t you know, we get to go to heaven when we die?” And all the
people will exclaim, “Oh Yea! We get to go to heaven when we die!”
However this too is a subtle deception because Jesus never said, “Repent
for you get to go to heaven when you die.” Rather He did warn of bad
preachers who would “shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye
25
neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.”
Mat 23:13
Jesus' Gospel was different, He said, …Repent: for the kingdom of
heaven is at hand. (Mat 4:17) and the Bible clearly teaches that we go to
the resurrection when we die only if we are already in His Kingdom for
He also proclaimed , …he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall
be saved. (Mat 24:13) Nowhere does the Bible teach that the Resurrection
is preceded by a seven year tribulation period. Neither does it teach that
the resurrection follows Daniels seventieth week. When you see the
Temple begin to be rebuilt it may actually initiate a seven year countdown
to the overt reign of the True Anti-Christ and the beginning of the New
World Social-Economic Order with its companion Mark of the Beast
Monetary System. Please do not be so quick to dismiss the almost
unbelievable, but very carefully crafted great delusion exposed here.
How are we respond to these things? We should continue to walk in the
Spirit and be led by the Spirit, our Creator calls His Elect to obey to His
commandments, allow His Holy Spirit to bring forth the fruit of
repentance in your life, “the good works which God has before ordained
that we might walk in them.” If you cannot obey Him now, how do you
think He will lead you when the time is critical? Learn to trust and obey
Him now and you will be able to hear and obey Him through this Global
Great Depression, coming world conflicts and Mark of the Beast
Inquisition. Cross the Border into His Kingdom, obey the King and live
forever, nothing is more important!
But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the
kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither
suffer ye them that are entering to go in. (Mat 23:13)
Rapture Origins
I never could understand the Secret Rapture Doctrine, how does that
work? Millions of people disappear from the earth, and nobody
notices? What is that, a Doctor Who episode?
Unfortunately, we are not talking about a Doctor Who episode. The
reason it is a secret is because God did not put it in His Word! This fact
26
alone I find very troubling. But God first revealed it to a Church of
Scotland minister, named Edward Irving, who was the first to preach the
“rapture gospel” about 1830. One of his church members, Margaret
MacDonald consequently had a vision from which the pre-tribulation
rapture sprang. This “secret rapture” was promoted by Irving claiming he,
too, had heard a “voice” from heaven commanding him to teach it. Some
modern researchers submit that Irving’s speculations of the “...rapture
were influenced by the Spanish Jesuit Priest Lacunza, whose book Irving
had translated in 1827 under the title, The coming of the Messiah in Glory
and Majesty.”
Today Rapture Eschatology is a purely Protestant and Evangelical held
doctrine. Official Catholic doctrine holds any one who believes in a
literal-physical return of Christ and a thousand year reign to be heretics
according to Mark Mallet the Modern Catholic Evangelist and Prophet.
So the question arises; Why are Protestants using a Latin word like rapture
instead of English or at least the Greek from which our Protestant Bibles
are translated? Perhaps the speculation which has scrutinized Irving’s
work as springing from the influence of the Jesuit Priest Lacunza should
be seriously considered. Especially in light of the fact that the highly
debated three raptures are anchored upon a false interpretation of Daniels
70th week and the counter-reformation end-time Anti-Christ eschatology
of another Jesuit Priest, 16th century Francisco Ribera.
My conclusion? Rapture is a Latin cult word. I believe in the
Resurrection. That God did not put the rapture in His Word can only be
explained by the fact that He allegedly kept it a secret until He revealed it
to Mr. Irving about 1830. What this means is that God gave him a private
interpretation! I think the bible adequately addresses the subject of private
interpretation:
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that
ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day
dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: (20) Knowing this first, that
no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. (21) For the
prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God
spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2Peter 1:19-21
There are very few verses that directly address the Resurrection in
27
detail. You will notice that none of them incorporate time lapsed phases
into the event nor is it anywhere said to precede, divide or follow a seven
year tribulation period. Neither is it ever related to Daniel’s seventieth
week.
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them
which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which
sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the
word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of
the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself
shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel,
and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we
which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the
clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-
18)
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be
changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the
trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we
shall be changed. (1 Corinthians 15:51-52)
The challenge is to find:
- Any verse that explicitly divides the resurrection into several events.
- Any verse that explicitly states that the resurrection is tied to a seven
year tribulation period.
- Any verse that explicitly places the resurrection in, around, or at the
end of the seventieth week of Daniel.
- Any verse that places the resurrection anywhere other than at the last
trump preceding the return of Christ.
None of those hypothesis are possible with out the construction of
conjecture, by conjecture any proposition may be constructed. Pure
conjecture is not the proper way to interpret Bible prophecy.

AI Overview
There is no scientific "clone" of the biblical King David. In theological and historical contexts, the concept refers to figures deemed "counterfeit Davids" (such as Jeroboam or Omri) who mirrored his reign, or the expected Messiah, who is prophesied to be a paternal descendant and spiritual "clone" (a direct successor) to restore the Davidic line.
Wikipedia
Messianic Expectation: Jewish tradition holds that the Messiah will be a human king from David’s bloodline, effectively a successor embodying his legacy.
"Counterfeit Davids": The Books of Kings describe leaders like Jeroboam and Omri as having biographies designed to resemble David's, acting as "counterfeit" versions of him to set up dynasties in the Northern Kingdom.
Historical Evidence: The only physical, non-biblical "proof" of David is the Tel Dan inscription, which refers to the "House of David" as a royal dynasty, not a single clone.
YouTube
Note: There is a unrelated 2024 news item mentioning a "Montana Mountain King" as a cloned sheep, which is likely a completely separate query result.
Bones is an American police procedural drama television series created by Hart Hanson for Fox. It premiered on September 13, 2005, and concluded on March 28, 2017, airing for 246 episodes over 12 seasons. The show is based on forensic anthropology and forensic archaeology, with each episode focusing on a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) case file concerning the mystery behind human remains brought by FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) to Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel), a forensic anthropologist. It also explores the personal lives of the characters. The rest of the main cast includes Michaela Conlin, T. J. Thyne, Eric Millegan, Jonathan Adams, Tamara Taylor, John Francis Daley, and John Boyd.
The series is based on the life and novels of forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs,[1] who also produced the show. Its title character, Temperance Brennan, is named after the protagonist of Reichs' crime novel series. In the Bones universe, Brennan writes successful mystery novels featuring a fictional forensic anthropologist named Kathy Reichs.
Bones is a joint production by Josephson Entertainment and Far Field Productions in association with 20th Century Fox Television and syndicated by 20th Television.[2] The series is the longest-running one-hour drama series produced by 20th Century Fox Television.[3]
Premise
The premise of the show is an alliance between forensic anthropologist Temperance "Bones" Brennan and FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth. Brennan is the central character and team leader of the fictional Jeffersonian Institute Medico-Legal Lab, a federal institution that collaborates with the FBI. This reflects the historical relationship between the FBI and scientists of the Smithsonian Institution. Set in Washington, D.C., the show revolves around solving federal legal cases by examining the human remains of possible murder victims. While the majority of their cases take place in the surrounding Washington metropolitan area, they have been called in to investigate cases in other locales, including Mexico, Argentina, and Iran.
Brennan and her team provide scientific expertise, and Booth provides FBI criminal investigation techniques. In addition to the prospective murder cases featured in each episode, the series explores the backgrounds and relationships of its characters, particularly the romantic tension between Brennan and Booth. An important ongoing dynamic between Brennan and Booth is their disagreement about science and faith. Brennan argues for science, evidence, and atheism. Booth argues for intuition, faith, and God. Their relationship is highlighted by the introduction of Lance Sweets, an FBI psychologist, who not only helps inform the investigations, but also is meant to serve as a mediator for Brennan and Booth.
The series is known for its dark comedic undertones, which serve to lighten the gravity of the show's intense subject matter, human bodies in an advanced state of decay. While many of the cases they investigate are self-contained to singular episodes, and generally deal with murders that are motivated by personal desires, the team does occasionally investigate serial killers – such as the Gravedigger, the Puppeteer, Howard Epps, and Gormogon – and politically charged perpetrators such as Jacob Broadsky.
The series also features the interpersonal relationships of the Jeffersonian staff – including pathologist and coroner Camille Saroyan, forensic artist Angela Montenegro, entomologist Jack Hodgins, and a rotating set of interns who assist Dr. Brennan – and how their cases and victims affect their views and lives.

The Bone Church
5 August, 2017 / Architecture, Art
Known as “The Bone Church”, the Sedlec Ossuary (aka Kostnice Ossuary Beinhaus) is a small Roman Catholic chapel located in a suburb of Kutná Hora in the Czech Republic. Within, lies an estimated 40,000-60,000 bones decorated into splendid, bone chilling art.
Including the stunning chandelier designed from almost every human bone in the body, the ossuary is furnished with other macabre art such as the six huge bone pyramid of skulls, two bone chalices, four baroque skull candelabras, and garlands of (yes, more) bones draped across the vault. My personal grim favourite is the Schwarzenberg coat of arms complete with a raven pecking the eye of severed head of a Turk.
History of the Sedlec Ossuary began in 1278 when Abbot Henry of the Sedlec Monastery scattered “holy soil” from Golgotha (where Jesus was crucified) across the abbey cemetery, which marked it as one of the most desired burial site for people all over Central Europe. Not long after, more than 30,000 found its resting place within the cemetery and to make room for the newly dead, bodies were moved into the crypt.
The story continues that in 1511, a half blind monk stacked the bones into pyramids, but it was František Rint, the woodcarver, who was commissioned the grave task of redecorating the thousands of bones. Rint’s artistic talent led him to create the grand chandelier amongst his other works of art found in the chapel today. To ensure a uniformed look across the chapel, Rint even bleached the bones. Today, his artist’s signature remains up the wall alongside his other creations, composed in his unique medium of choice, bone.

The Crowns of America
So often one hears politicians quoting the British Constitution as if it actually exists by way of adocumentary privilege — but it does not. It is simply an accumulation of old customs and precedents concerning parliamentary sanctions, together with a number of specific laws defining certain aspects. Since Scotland's 1320 Declaration of Arbroath was nullified by England's Treaty of Union in 1707, the oldest Written Constitution now in force is that of the United States of America. It was adopted in 1787, ratified in 1788, and effected in 1789. In that same year began the French Revolution, which abolished feudalism and ‘absolute’ monarchy in France, thereby influencing politics in much of Europe. In close to 200 years since the Revolution, France and other European States (with Britain as a noticeable exception) have adopted Written Constitutions to protect the rights and liberties of individuals — but who champions these Constitutions on behalf of the people? A popular alternative to absolute monarchy or dictatorship has been found in Republicanism. The Republic of the United States was created primarily to free the emergent nation from the despotism of Britain’s House of Hanover. Yet its citizens tend still to be fascinated by the concept of monarchy. No matter how Republican the spirit, the need for a central symbol remains. Neither a flag nor a president can fulfil this unifying role, for by virtue of the ‘party system’ presidents are always politically motivated. Republicanism was devised on the principle of fraternal status, yet an ideally classless society can never exist in an environment that promotes displays of eminence and superiority by degrees of wealth and possession. For the most part, those responsible for the United States’ morally inspired Constitution were Rosicrucians and Freemasons, notable characters such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Charles Thompson. The last, who designed the Great Seal of the United States of America, was a member of Franklin’s American Philosophical Society — a counterpart of Britain’s Invisible College. The imagery of the Seal is directly related to alchemical tradition, inherited from the allegory of the ancient Egyptian Therapeutate. The eagle, the olive branch, the arrows, and the pentagrams are all occult symbols of opposites: good and evil, male and female, war and peace, darkness and light. On the reverse (as repeated on the dollar bill) is the truncated pyramid, indicating the loss of the Old Wisdom, severed and forced underground by the Church establishment. But above this are the rays of ever-hopeful light, incorporating the ‘all-seeing eye’, used as a symbol during the French Revolution.
In establishing their Republic, the Americans could still not escape the ideal of a parallel monarchy — a central focus of non-political, patriotic attachment. George Washington was actually offered kingship, but declined because he had no immediately qualifying heritage. Instead he turned to the Royal House of Stuart. In November 1782 four Americans arrived at the San Clemente Palazzo in Florence, the residence of Charles III Stuart in exile. They were Mr Galloway of Maryland, two brothers named Sylvester from Pennsylvania, and Mr Fish, a lawyer from New York. They were taken to Charles Edward by his secretary, John Stewart. Also present was the Hon Charles Hervey-Townshend (later Britain’s ambassador to The Hague) and the Prince's future wife, Marguerite, Comtesse de Massillan. The interview — which revolved around the contemporary transatlantic dilemma — is doctimented in the US Senate archives and in the Manorwater Papers. Writers such as Sir Compton Mackenzie and Sir Charles Petrie have also described the occasion when Charles Edward Stuart was invited to become ‘King of the Americans’. Some years earlier, Charles had been similarly approached by the men of Boston, but once the War of Independence was over George Washington sent his own envoys. It would have been a great irony for the House of Hanover to lose the North American colonies to the Stuarts. But Charles declined the offer for a number of reasons, not the least of which was his lack of a legitimate male heir at the time. He knew that without a due successor the United States could easily fall to Hanover again at his death, thereby defeating the whole Independence effort. Since those days, many other radical events have taken place: the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, two major World Wars, and a host of changes as countries have swapped one style of government for another. Meanwhile, civil and international disputes continue just as they did in the Middle Ages. They are motivated by trade, politics, religion, and whatever other banners are flown to justify the constant struggle for territorial and economic control. The Holy Roman Empire has disappeared, the German Reichs have failed, and the British Empire has collapsed. The Russian Empire fell to Communism, which has itself been disgraced and crumbled to ruin, while Capitalism teeters on the very brink of acceptability. With the Cold War now ended, America faces a new threat to her superpower status from the Pacific countries. In the meantime, the nations of Europe band together in what was once a seemingly well conceived economic community, but which is already suffering from the same pressures of individual custom and national sovereignty that beset the Holy Roman Empire. Whether nations are governed by military-style regimes or elected parliaments, by autocrats or democrats, and whether formally described as monarchist, socialist or republican, the net product is always the same: the few control the fate of the many. In situations of dictatorship this is a natural experience — but it should not be the case in a democratic institution based on the principle of majority vote. True democracy is government by the people for the people, in either direct or representative form, ignoring class distinctions and tolerating minority views. The American Constitution sets out an ideal for this form of democracy ... but, in line with other nations, there is always a large sector of the community that is not represented by the party in power. Because presidents and prime ministers are politically tied, and because political parties take their respective turns at individual helms, the inevitable result is a lack of continuity for the nations concerned. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but there is no reliable ongoing institution to champion the civil rights and liberties of people in such conditions of ever-changing leadership. Britain does, at least, retain a monarchy, but it is a politically constrained monarchy, and as such is ineffectual in performing its role as guardian of the nation. The United States, unlike Britain, has a Written Constitution — but has no one with the power to uphold its principles against successive governments who determinedly pursue their own politically vested interests. Is there an answer to the anomaly — an answer that could bring not just a ray of hope but a shining light for the future? There certainly is, but its energy relies on those in governmental service appreciating their roles as ‘representatives’ of society rather than presuming to stand at the head of society. Alongside the political administration, an appointed Constitutional champion would be empowered to keep check on any potential disparities and infringements of the Constitution that might occur. This can be achieved in the manner first envisaged by George Washington and the American Fathers. Their original plan was for a democratic Parliament combined with a working Constitutional Monarchy bound not to Parliament or the Church but to the people and their Written Constitution. In such an environment, sovereignty would ultimately rest with the people, while the monarch (as an operative Guardian of the Realm) would pledge an ‘Oath of Fealty to the Nation’ — not the reverse, as in Britain’s case, whereby the nation pays homage to the sovereignty of Parliament and the monarchy. The unfulfilled ambition of the American Fathers was that government ministers should be elected by the majority vote of the people, but that their actions be directed within the boundaries of the Constitution. Because that Constitution belongs to the people, its champion — as George Washington perceived — should be a monarch whose obligation is not to politics or religion but to the sovereign nation. Through the natural system of heredity (being born and bred to the task), such a Constitutional guardian would provide an ‘ongoing continuity’ of public representation through successive governments. In this regard both monarchs and ministers would be servants of the Constitution on behalf of the Community of the Realm. Such a concept of moral government lies at the very heart of the Grail Code, and it remains within the bounds of possibility for every civilized Nation State. A leading British politician recently claimed that it was not his job to be popular! Not so—a popular minister is a trusted minister, and holding a deserved electoral trust facilitates the democratic process. No minister can honestly expound an ideal of equality in society when that minister is deemed to possess some form of prior lordship over society. Class structure is always decided from above, never from below. It is therefore for those on self-made pedestals to be seen to kick them aside in the interests of harmony and unity. Jesus was not in the least humbled when he washed his Apostles’ feet; he was raised to the realm of a true Grail King — the realm of equality and princely service. This is the eternal ‘Precept of the Sangréal’, and it is expressed in Grail lore with the utmost clarity: only by asking ‘Whom does the Grail serve?’ will the wound of the Fisher King be healed, and the Wasteland returned to fertility.

Pope Leo XIV[a] (born Robert Francis Prevost,[b] pronounced /ˈpriːvoʊst/ PREE-vohst,[2][c] September 14, 1955) is the head of the Catholic Church and sovereign of Vatican City. He is the first pope to have been born in the United States, the first to hold either U.S. or Peruvian citizenships, the first from the Order of Saint Augustine, and the second (after his immediate predecessor Pope Francis) from the Americas.
Prevost was born in Chicago and raised in the neighboring town of Dolton, Illinois. He became a friar in the Order of Saint Augustine in 1977 and was ordained as a priest in 1982. He earned a Doctor of Canon Law (JCD) degree in 1987 from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. His service includes extensive missionary work in Peru in the 1980s and 1990s, during which he worked as a parish pastor, diocesan official, seminary teacher, and administrator. Elected prior general of the Order of Saint Augustine, he was based in Rome from 2001 to 2013, and traveled extensively as part of this work, including to the order's many provinces and missions around the world. He then returned to Peru as Bishop of Chiclayo from 2015 to 2023. In 2023, Pope Francis appointed him prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops in Rome, and president of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America. Upon his return to Rome in 2023, Prevost was made a cardinal by Pope Francis.
As Cardinal, Prevost emphasized synodality, missionary dialogue, and engagement with social and technological challenges. He has also addressed issues such as climate change, global migration, church governance, and human rights, and expressed alignment with the reforms of the Second Vatican Council and the direction set for the Church by Francis. Prevost's election in the 2025 conclave was unexpected by observers; he was a dark horse candidate, with Vatican insiders believing the prospect of a pope from the United States to be unrealistic given its status as a superpower. In honor of Pope Leo XIII, who developed modern Catholic social teaching amid the tumult of the Second Industrial Revolution, Prevost chose the papal name Leo XIV—both to echo Leo XIII's concern for workers and fairness, and as a response to the challenges of a new industrial revolution and artificial intelligence.
As pope, he has consistently opposed armed conflict and nationalism while advocating for the rights of migrants. He has introduced new warnings about the use of artificial intelligence technology. He has affirmed the teachings of his predecessors, including social teachings and the climate policy of Pope Francis. He has consistently pointed to the teachings of the Second Vatican Council as the "guiding star" of the Church.

"School Hard" is the third episode of the second season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the fifteenth episode in the series. Written by Joss Whedon with David Greenwalt, and directed by John T. Kretchmer, it was originally broadcast on September 29, 1997, on The WB network.
Synopsis
PARENTS IN THE NIGHT — When parent-teacher night is interrupted by uninvited guests, Buffy must protect her fellow students, the principal and her mother while keeping her secret. Meanwhile, Angel's old friends, Spike and Drusilla visit Sunnydale for The Night of Saint Vigeous — the holy night of attack.[1]
Summary
At Sunnydale High School, Buffy and Sheila Martini are meeting with Principal Snyder in his office. He assigns them the task of preparing the school lounge for parent-teacher night on Thursday, stating that whoever does the better job will avoid expulsion. He also hints that doing a good job will positively influence what he tells their parents. Sheila’s lack of concern only adds to Buffy’s stress, as she's already struggling to balance her Slayer duties with her social life. Later that evening, Joyce tells Buffy that if Snyder gives her a bad report, she won't be allowed to hang out with her friends.
That night, a vampire named Spike drives into Sunnydale, knocking down the city's welcome sign. Meanwhile, in the abandoned factory that now serves as their lair, the Anointed One has called together the remaining members of the Order of Aurelius. With the Master dead and no chance of resurrecting him, they discuss who will serve alongside the Anointed One. With the Night of Saint Vigeous approaching — when vampires are at the height of their power — they agree that whoever kills the Slayer will take the Master's place. As one vampire brags about his strength, Spike saunters in and effortlessly puts him in his place. He then offers to kill Buffy, revealing that he's already killed two Slayers. Moments later, Drusilla — Spike's eerie companion with psychic abilities and a twisted sense of reality — appears and cryptically speaks of Buffy's actions, urging Spike to kill her. Intrigued, the Anointed One agrees to give Spike the chance.
As the Scooby Gang make a banner for parent-teacher night, Giles and Jenny arrive to warn Buffy that Saturday will be the Night of Saint Vigeous. However, Buffy is unimpressed. Later that evening, she attempts to balance school and her social life by studying French at the Bronze with Xander and Willow. Spike watches her from a dark corner and sends a vampire outside to attack a girl. Buffy quickly responds, slaying the vampire while Spike observes from the shadows. Applauding her performance, he emerges from the darkness to compliment her fighting skills and warns that he intends to kill her on Saturday. Later that night, Spike encounters Sheila, who is captivated by his dangerous charm and eagerly follows him.
Later in the library, Giles does not recognize Spike based on Buffy’s description. Suddenly, Angel arrives and warns them that Spike is notoriously dangerous and won't stop until everything in his path is destroyed. He then leaves abruptly without saying goodbye. Giles later uncovers Spike's real name, William the Bloody, and learns that he's already killed two Slayers. His nickname, "Spike," comes from his reputation for torturing victims with railroad spikes.
Meanwhile, Spike and Drusilla settle into a room in the factory, where Drusilla begins unpacking her collection of dolls. Still weakened from an attack by an angry mob in Prague, she remains frail, and Spike hopes that being near the Hellmouth will help restore her strength. He urges her to feed on Sheila, who's bound and gagged in the corner. Drusilla warns Spike that the Anointed One and his followers don’t trust him, then sends him upstairs while she feeds on Sheila.
On Thursday night, the Scoobies prepare weapons in the library while Buffy makes snacks for parent-teacher night. Despite her efforts to keep her mother from interacting with any teachers, Joyce eventually crosses paths with Principal Snyder. After their conversation, a frustrated Joyce orders Buffy to the car — just as Spike and a group of vampires crash through the school windows. Spike tells Buffy he couldn’t wait, making it clear he's eager to face her sooner than Saturday. In the ensuing chaos, Buffy leads the adults to safety in the science classroom, while Xander, Giles, and Jenny barricade themselves inside the library. Willow and Cordelia hide in a utility closet, and Xander is sent to find Angel. Buffy instructs the adults to stay put as she climbs into the ceiling ducts to reach the library and retrieve her weapons.
Xander returns to the school with Angel, who pretends to be his former evil self. Although Spike initially greets Angel as an old friend, he soon sees through the deception, forcing Xander and Angel to flee. Outside, Xander criticizes Angel for not fully thinking the plan through, pointing out that Spike could have easily killed him. He then questions Angel about Spike calling him his sire.
Buffy and Spike finally face off in the hallway, and Buffy is almost defeated — until her mother appears and hits Spike over the head with the flat of a fire axe. Caught off guard, Spike falls to the ground and mutters "Women!" in frustration before fleeing through a nearby window. Joyce tells Buffy she's proud to have a daughter who knows how to take care of herself and others in a crisis, dismissing any concerns raised by Principal Snyder. Meanwhile, Snyder tells the police chief to blame the incident on a gang under the influence of PCP. When the chief wonders if people will believe it, Snyder asks if he'd rather tell the truth. In the closet, Cordelia and Willow are unaware the vampires are gone. As Cordelia prays for their rescue and vows to be a better person if saved, Willow looks on in disbelief.
Spike returns to the factory and tells Drusilla he has never encountered a Slayer with friends or family but promises he will kill Buffy. He then reluctantly approaches the Anointed One, who demands penance for ruining the Feast of St. Vigeous due to his impatience. Spike feigns submission but quickly seizes the Anointed One, locking him in a cage while knocking out a vampire who tries to intervene. As the others watch in shock, Spike raises the cage into the sunlight streaming through the factory's shutters, killing the Anointed One. After declaring that there will now be less ritual and more fun in Sunnydale, Spike leads Drusilla to their room to watch television.
Continuity
Spike's rather dramatic arrival in Sunnydale (running over the "Welcome to Sunnydale" sign) is later recreated in "Lovers Walk"; the only difference is him being drunk. He makes the sign fall for one last time in "Chosen."
When Sheila asks Buffy if she really burnt down a building one time, Buffy replies, "Not exactly one time," referencing the events of The Origin, Part Three, and "Some Assembly Required."
Spike mentions killing a Slayer during the Boxer Rebellion, referring to Xin Rong, as seen in the episode "Fool for Love," when both times he killed a Slayer are shown.
This episode is the first appearance of Spike, who plays a significant role throughout this series and in the final season of Angel. The episode also marks the first appearance of Drusilla, who was also a recurring threat and influence in both series.
Drusilla and Spike being attacked by an angry mob in Prague, and her weakening is shown in the story "The Problem with Vampires."
The yo-yo Xander pulls out of Buffy's purse is the same one she was playing with in the beginning of "Some Assembly Required."
In this episode, Cordelia joins the other characters making stakes in the library without any specific backstory as to why she is there, marking her as a full Scooby for the first time.
This episode establishes that Spike killed two Slayers, an exception among vampires. Later, Drusilla will achieve this status by killing Kendra ("Becoming, Part One") and Marianne (Family Reunion, Part Four).
This is the first episode to reveal that Buffy's mother's name is Joyce Summers.
Joyce and Snyder meet for the first time in this episode, developing their mutual disdain into season 3.
Spike calls Angel his sire; in "Fool for Love," it's revealed that it was Drusilla who directly sired him, but Angel would become his mentor, as seen in "Destiny."
In this episode, Spike seems quite happy to see Angel, although they have had a very rocky relationship even when Angel had no soul. This animosity will remain through both the Buffy and Angel series.
Spike tells Buffy that the last Slayer he killed begged for her life. In the episode "Damage," the deranged Slayer Dana repeats Nikki's plea: "Please, I have to get home to my son Robin."
This episode establishes that Principal Snyder and the police are aware that there are supernatural happenings in Sunnydale. This foreshadows the development of Mayor Richard Wilkins as the Big Bad of season 3.
Spike complains about "a Slayer with family and friends." Buffy's rejection of the typical "lone wolf" style of slaying will come up frequently in the series, usually in the context of people questioning her competence ("Restless," "Checkpoint").
This episode marks the first time that a vampire, the Anointed One, is killed by immolation in sunlight, though it occurs off-screen. It will occur on-screen for the first time in "Becoming, Part One."

Watchdog slams PA over claim of Israeli restrictions on Al-Aqsa for ‘Passover sacrifice’
"Claiming that Israel and Jews want to have a sacrifice on the Temple Mount ... is an outrageous libel and the worst terror incitement," Itamar Marcus told JNS.

(March 11, 2026 / JNS)
A Palestinian media watchdog reported Wednesday that official Palestinian Authority TV is “libeling” Israel by falsely claiming that Israeli wartime restrictions at Al-Aqsa mosque are intended to facilitate an extremist Jewish Passover sacrifice.
Israel’s across-the-board ban on public gatherings of more than 50 people out of security concerns went into effect following the outbreak of war in Iran on Feb. 28.
But an inflammatory report on Monday on official P.A. TV said that the limitations were geared to enable Jews to carry out a Passover sacrifice at the Jerusalem holy site, which has long been a tinderbox in the Middle East.
“The Jerusalem Governorate emphasized in a statement that what is being done [against Al-Aqsa] is not within the framework of temporary security measures as claimed by the occupation authorities, but rather constitutes part of a political and ideological process seeking to change the religious, historical and legal reality of the holy compound at the Temple Mount (Al-Haram Al-Qudsi Al-Sharif),” the TV presenter said in Arabic, according to a translation by Palestinian Media Watch.
“Exploiting the fact of the continued closure of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and the gates of the Old City for ten consecutive days now, during the month of Ramadan, under the pretext of the security situation, extremist Temple organizations have launched awareness campaigns, with the aim of carrying out what is called the Passover sacrifice inside the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque [i.e., the Temple Mount]. These campaigns include calls to sacrifice an animal on the Jewish Passover holiday inside Al-Aqsa Mosque this year … within the framework of unprecedented developments for the conquest of Jerusalem,” the reporter added. “This step is considered a dangerous escalation and an attempt to establish new facts on the ground at the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.”
Itamar Marcus, founder and director of Palestinian Media Watch, told JNS on Wednesday, “Claiming that Israel and Jews want to have a sacrifice on the Temple Mount, which in their eyes is a desecration of the mosque, is an outrageous libel and the worst terror incitement.”
He added, “The Palestinians identify as religious Muslims much more than they identify as Palestinians and if they believe there is a desecration of the mosque, it will push many people who are potential terrorists to consider terror attacks.”
The Israeli High Court of Justice has long rejected petitions to carry out Passover sacrifices near the Temple Mount, citing a threat to security and the inflammation of religious tensions. Israeli police have also intervened to prevent a Jewish group from carrying out such practices.

The Golden Child is a 1986 American dark fantasy action comedy film directed by Michael Ritchie. The film stars Eddie Murphy as Chandler Jarrell, a Los Angeles social worker who is informed that he is "The Chosen One", and is destined to save "The Golden Child", a kidnapped Tibetan boy with mystical powers who is said to be the savior of all humankind. Alongside Murphy, the film's cast includes Charlotte Lewis and Charles Dance.
The Golden Child was produced and distributed by Paramount Pictures[5] and grossed a total of $79,817,937 at the United States domestic box office.[1][6]
Plot
In a remote temple in Tibet, a young boy – the Golden Child – demonstrates his mystical powers to the monks of the temple by reviving a dead eastern rosella, which becomes a constant companion and familiar. A mysterious man, Sardo Numspa, has his men break into the temple, slaughter the monks, and abduct the boy.
A young woman, Kee Nang, watches a Los Angeles TV show in which independent social worker and private detective Chandler Jarrell talks about a missing girl named Cheryll Mosley. Kee informs him of the kidnapping of the Golden Child and that he is the "chosen one" who will save the Child. Chandler does not take this seriously, even after a bird begins following him and he sees an astral projection of the Child. The next day, Cheryll is found dead near an abandoned house smeared with Tibetan graffiti and a pot full of blood-soaked oatmeal. Kee reveals to Chandler that this house was a holding place for the Child and introduces him to Doctor Hong, a mystic expert, and Kala (a creature half dragon, half woman).
Chandler and Kee track down a motorcycle gang, the Yellow Dragons, which Cheryll had joined, and Chinese restaurant owner Tommy Tong, a henchman of Numspa, to whom Cheryll had been "sold" for her blood, a way to make the Child vulnerable to earthly harm. However, Tong is killed by Numspa as a potential traitor. Still not taking the case too seriously, Chandler is drawn by Numspa into a controlled dream. Numspa presents his demands: the Ajanti Dagger (a mystic weapon capable of killing the Child) in exchange for the boy. Chandler agrees to help, and he and Kee spend the night together.
Chandler and Kee travel to Tibet, where Chandler is swindled by an amulet seller, later revealed as the High Priest of the temple where the dagger is kept hidden (and, subsequently, Kee's father). To obtain the knife, Chandler has to pass a test: an obstacle course in a bottomless cavern whilst carrying a glass of water without spilling a drop. With luck and wits, he recovers the blade and brings it into the United States.
That night, Numspa and his henchmen attack Chandler and Kee. The Ajanti Dagger is lost to the villains, and Kee takes a crossbow bolt meant for Chandler, dying in his arms while confessing her love for him. Doctor Hong and Kala offer him hope: as long as the sun shines upon Kee, the Child might be able to save her. With the help of the Child's familiar, Chandler locates Numspa's hideout, retrieves the dagger with the help of Til, one of Numspa's men converted to good by the Child, and frees the boy. When Chandler confronts Numspa, he reveals himself as a winged demon. Chandler and the Child escape, only to be trapped inside a warehouse. Chandler loses the dagger when the warehouse collapses.
Chandler and the Child head to Doctor Hong's shop, where Kee is being kept. Numspa attacks Chandler, but the amulet the Old Man sold Chandler protects him, then blasts the dagger from Numspa's hand. The Child uses his magic to place the dagger back into Chandler's hands, and Chandler stabs Numspa, destroying him. The Child then uses the last rays of sunlight and his powers to bring Kee back from the dead. The three later take a walk discussing the Child's return to Tibet.

In Freemasonry, the color green is indeed associated with fertility and nature. It symbolizes rebirth, immortality, and the eternal renewal of life, reflecting the Masonic ideals of growth and hope. The acacia, or Masonic evergreen, is particularly noted for its association with moral life and rebirth, further emphasizing the significance of green in Masonic symbolism.

We are faced with an extremely complex symbol, that of the lion. It is complex because, in view of the present bare state of the stone, we cannot be content with a single explanation. The Wise have given various titles to the lion, either to express the aspect of the substances they were processing or to emphasize a special and preponderant aspect of them. In the emblem of the Griffin (eighth motif), we saw that the lion, king of the earthly beasts, represented the fixed, basic part of a compound, which, when in contact with opposing volatility, lost the better part of itself. That is to say it lost the part which characterized its form, or, in hieroglyphic language, its head. This time we have to study the animal by itself and we do not know in what colour it was originally painted. Generally the lion is the sign of gold, both alchemical and natural. It thus represents the physico-chemical properties of these substances. But the texts give the same name to the matter which is receptive of the universal spirit, the secret fire, during processing of the solvent. In both these cases it represents power, incorruptability and perfection, these being further indicated clearly enough by the warrior with drawn sword, the mail-clad knight, displaying the king of the alchemical bestiary (pl. XV).
The first magnetic agent which is used to prepare the solventdesignated, by some, Alkahest-is called the green Lion, not so much because it is green in colour as because it has not yet acquired those mineral characteristics, which in chemistry distinguish the adult state from the nascent one. It is a green and sour fruit, compared with the red, ripe fruit. It is metallic youth on which Evolution has not yet worked, but which contains the latent germ of real energy, which will be called upon to develop later. It is arsenic and lead in respect of silver and gold. It is present imperfection from which the great future perfection will emerge; the rudiment of our embryo, the embryo of our stone, the stone of our Elixir. Certain Adepts, Basil Valentine among them, have called it green vitriol, in order to reveal its hot, burning and salty nature. Others have called it the Philosophers' Emerald, the Dew of May, the Herb of Saturn, the Vegetable Stone, etc. 'Our water takes the name of the leaves of all the trees, of the trees themselves, and of everything green in colour, in order to mislead the foolish,' says Master Arnold of Villanova.
As for the Red Lion, according to the Philosophers it is nothing more than the same matter, or'the Green Lion, brought by certain processes to this special quality which characterizes hermetic gold or the Red Lion. This has led Basil Valentine to give the following advice: 'Dissolve and nourish the real lion with the blood of the green lion, since the fixed blood of the red Lion is made from the volatile blood of the green one, which makes them both of the same nature.'

The Six Pointed Star
By, Dr. O.J. Graham
The Six-Pointed Star is going into its fourth edition. There have been thousands of letters over the years and comments are available upon request. The questions which are asked of this author are:
What made you even remotely curious that the six-pointed star might not be "Jewish"? After all, it is called the "Star of David" and has it not become the international insignia of Jewishness and the State of Israel?
The controversy and the challenge are answered in the book. The quest began at York University, Ontario, Canada, when an Orthodox Jewish friend of mine was investigating Messianic Judaism. Our intellectual conversation covered many topics which included the so-called Star of David, which he said he did not use as the symbol G-d really gave the children of Israel was the seven-branched Menorah. Being a journalist, he challenged me to explore the six-pointed star. And I accepted the challenge, with the plan that I would prove its Jewishness. After all, I wore one and felt I had to defend it, even to him.
That was the summer of 1979 and the research took me four years to complete. I found a few Jews who knew it was not Jewish, and these are mentioned in the book. Others did not think about it, and most did not care whether it was orignially occult or not - they did not think it mattered. I checked Jewish sources and all their encyclopaedias attested that it was not originally Jewish and was not used as the symbol for any of the twelve tribes of Israel. Jewish sources said it wasn't originally Jewish. So, what was it? That took four years of research. From archive to archive, library to library...history book to history book.
The first mention of the star was in Amos 5:26 regarding the trek from Egypt to Canaan. Then in 922 B.C., when Solomon married the daughter of Pharoah and went into magic and witchcraft and built an altar to Ashtoroth and Moloch. The book traces the six pointed star from Egypt to Solomon, to Arab Magic and Witchcraft, to Druid use(references are documented). The book traces the star through Freemasonry usage to Mayer Amschel Bauer, who, in the 17th century, changed his name to depict the red six-pointed star (or shield) which he had hung on his door in Germany, and thus began the family of "Red Shield" or Rothschild. The research carried on through this family, to their court of arms, to Cabala, to Astrology, to Hitler and his putting a yellow six-pointed star on all Jews during the holocaust, to the Zionist symbol, and finally to the flag of the State of Israel and beyond.
Because this symbol is comprised of a six within a six within a six (6 points, 6 triangles, 6 sides of the hexagon in the middle) the research also included a look at the 666 prophecies in the Book of Daniel etc., regarding the "wilful King" (anti-Christ) and the "mark of the beast". The Scriptural significance of the number seven and a Biblical description of the real Messiah and the seven-branched Candlestick (Menorah) which God gave to the children of Israel as an everlasting covenant (which is also mentioned in the New Testament) is covered. All the sources are written at the bottom of each page making it easy for readers to see and check for themselves.
I started out to defend this symbol, but ended up shocked and quite devasted with the evidence gleaned from the academic research. It is the only book on the origin and history of the six-pointed star or hexagram. Have a good read, check the references yourself, and I would be happy to hear your comments. All the best to you

The Farnese Cup or Tazza Farnese is a 2nd-century BC cameo hardstone carving bowl or cup made in Hellenistic Egypt of four-layered sardonyx agate. It is at the Naples National Archaeological Museum.[1] It is about 20 cm (8 in) wide and similar in form to a Greek phiale or Roman patera, with no foot.[2][3] It features relief carvings on both its exterior and interior surfaces.[2][3]
There is no surviving evidence regarding when and why the piece was made, though there is consensus among scholars that it was created in Alexandria, due to the blending of Ancient Egyptian and Ancient Greek or Roman iconography found in its relief carvings. This provides a range of time wherein it may have been created, spanning from approximately 300 BC to 20 BC.[2][4]
The underside has a large Gorgon's head occupying most of the area, probably intended to ward off evil. The upper side has a scene with several figures that has long puzzled scholars. It seems clearly an allegory containing several divine figures and perhaps personifications, but corresponds to no other known representation and has been interpreted in several different ways.
History
The origin of the Tazza Farnese is unknown, leaving archaeologists and art historians to theorize a date and purpose for its creation. While its size and the material used are usually considered, theories of origin are mainly arrived at via individual analysis of the iconography of the piece, and therefore vary from one analysis to the next.[2][3][4]
Many archaeologists and art historians attribute the Tazza to the Hellenistic Period, asserting that its blending of Greek and Egyptian cultural symbols, as well as the funds necessary to commission such a large gemstone cameo, tie it to the Ptolemaic court.[4] Though not a widely held view, more recent analyses of the piece have assigned it a later date in the Augustan Period.[2][3]
After Octavian's conquest of Egypt in 31 BC, the Farnese Cup was possibly acquired by the Treasury of Rome; according to some, it was only made after the Romans took Egypt. It seems it was later taken to Byzantium, then back west after this city was sacked in 1204 during the Fourth Crusade. By 1239 it was in the court of Frederick II,[5] from which it then reached the Persian court of Herat or possibly Samarkand, where a contemporary drawing documents it;[6] thence it found its way to the court of Alfonso of Aragon in Naples, where Angelo Poliziano saw it in 1458. Lorenzo the Magnificent finally purchased the famous "scutella di calcedonio" in Rome, in 1471. From there it came into the possession of the Farnese family through Margaret of Austria and thus into the Naples National Archaeological Museum[1]

In Revelation 17:3-5 the apostle John describes a vision, which Rev. J. R. Church in Guardians of the Grail believes is fulfilled in the Grail legend. The Whore of Babylon is holding in her hand a golden cup full of blasphemy. Church believes the cup is the blasphemous Holy Grail Another element of the Grail legend is the spear supposed to have pierced the side of Jesus, also known as the Spear of Longinus or the Spear of Destiny. Whoever possesses this spear, so the legend goes, will rule the world. The Merovingians, whose descendants are the Habsburg pretenders to the Austrian throne today, are in possession of the spear. It is on display in the Habsburg museum in Vienna, Austria~ No one, however, knows the location of the Holy Grail. At least no one is telling. Although heretical, this secret society should not be discounted, for it is alive and well today. In fact, in 1956, an Order calling itself the Prieure de Sion, or Priory of Sion, registered itself publicly for the first time with the French government. (Sion is French for Zion.) It is from this Order that the legend of the Holy Grail originated five centuries after Christ's death. Rev. Church remarks of this organization: This mysterious group is presently made up of over 9,000 men, including Protestants, Roman Catholics, Jews, and Moslems. The members of this secret sect should be considered unfaithful to their respective beliefs, for in reality they are neither Christian nor Catholic, they are neither Jew nor Moslem. Their doctrine sidesteps the basic tenets of those beliefs and replaces them with the teachings of their greatest prophet - whom they believe to be Buddha.2 From this secret order J. R. Church believes will come the Anti-Christ, for he writes, "Their ultimate goal is world government!'

The deadly wound, however, thus given to the Chaldean system, was destined to be healed. A colony of Etruscans, earnestly attached to — the Chaldean idolatry, had migrated, some say from Asia Minor, others from Greece, and settled in the immediate neighbourhood of Rome.§ They were ultimately incorporated in the Roman state, but long before this political union took place they exercised the most powerful influence on the religion of the Romans. From the very first their skill in augury, soothsaying, and all science, real or pretended, that the augurs or soothsayers monopolised, made the Romans look up to them with respect. at It is admitted on all hands that the Romans derived their knowledge of augury, which occu- pied so prominent a place in every public transaction in which they engaged, chiefly from the Tuscans,* that is, the people of Etruria, and first none but natives of that country were permitted to exercise the office of a Haruspex, which had respect to all the rites essentially involved in sacrifice.t Wars and disputes arose between Rome and the Etruscans; but still the highest of the noble youths of Rome were sent to Etruria to be instructed in the sacred science which flourished there.t The consequence was, that under the influence of men whose minds were moulded by those who clung to the ancient idol-worship, the Romans were brought back again to much of that idolatry which they had formerly repudiated and cast off. Though Numa, therefore, in setting up his religious system, so far deferred to the prevailing feeling of his day and forbade image- worship, yet in consequence of the alliance subsisting between Rome and Etruria in sacred things, matters were put in train for the ultimate subversion of that prohibition. The college of Pontiffs, of which he laid the foundation,§ in process of time came to be sub- stantially an Etruscan college, and the Sovereign Pontiff that pre- sided over that college, and that controlled all the public and private religious rites of the Roman people in all essential respects, became in spirit and in practice an Etruscan Pontiff. Still the the Sovereign Pontiff of Rome, even after the Etruscan idolatry was absorbed into the Roman system, was only an offshoot from grand original Babylonian system. He was a devoted worshipper of the Babylonian god; but he was not the legitimate representative of that God. The true legitimate Babylonian Pontiff had his seat beyond the bounds of the Roman empire. That seat, after the death of Belshazzar, and the expulsion of the Chaldean priesthood from Babylon by the Medo-Persian kings, was at Per- gamos, where afterwards was one of the seven churches of Asia.|| There, in consequence, for many centuries was ‘‘Satan’s seat” (Rev. ii, 13). * There, under favour of the deified {1 kings of Pergamos, was his favourite abode, there was the worship of Aisculapius, under the form of the serpent, celebrated with frantic orgies and excesses, that elsewhere were kept under some measure of restraint. At first, the Roman Pontiff had no immediate connection with Pergamos and the hierarchy there; yet, in course of time, the Pontificate of Rome and the Pontificate of Pergamos came to be identified. Pergamos itself became part and parcel of the Roman empire, when Attalus III., the last of its kings, at his death, left by will all his dominions to the Roman people, B.c. 133.* For some time after the kingdom of Pergamos was merged in the Roman dominions, there was no one who could set himself openly and advisedly to lay claim to all the dignity inherent in the old title of the kings of Pergamos. The original powers even of the Roman Pontiffs seem to have been by that time abridged,+ but when Julius Ceasar, who had previously been elected Pontifex Maximus,{ became also, as Emperor, the supreme civil ruler of the Romans, then, as head of the Roman state, and head of the Roman religion, all the powers and functions of the true legitimate Babylonian Pontiff were supremely vested in him, and he found himself in a position to assert these powers. Then he seems to have laid claim to the divine dignity of Attalus, as well as the kingdom that Attalus had bequeathed to the Romans, as centring in himself; for his well-known watchword, * Venus Genetrix,” which meant that Venus was the mother of the Julian race, appears to have been intended to make him “ The Son” of the great goddess, even as the ‘‘ Bull-horned” Attalus had been. regarded.§ Then, on certain occasions, in the exercise of his high pontifical office, he appeared of course in all the pomp of the Babylonian costume, as Belshazzar himself might have done, in robes of scarlet,|| with the crosier of Nimrod in his hand, wearing the mitre of Dagon and bearing the keys of Janus and Cybele.{] Thus did matters continue, as already stated, even under so-called Christian emperors ; who, as a salve to their consciences, appointed a heathen as their substitute in the performance of the more directly idolatrous functions of the pontificate (that substitute, however, acting in their name and by their authority), until the reign of Gratian, who, as shown by Gibbon, was the first that refused to be arrayed in the idolatrous pontifical attire, or to act as Pontifex.* Now, from all this it is evident that, when Paganism in the Roman empire was abolished, when the office of Pontifex Maximus was suppressed, and all the dignitaries of paganism were cast down from their seats of influence and of power, which they had still been allowed in some measure to retain, this was not merely the casting down of the Fiery Dragon of Rome, but the casting down of the Fiery Dragon of Babylon. It was just the enacting over again, in a symbolical sense, upon the true and sole legitimate successor of Nimrod, what had taken place upon himself, when the greatness of his downfall gave rise to the exclamation, “ How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!"

Giulia Farnese (Italian pronunciation: [ˈdʒuːlja farˈneːze, -eːse]; 1474 – 23 March 1524) was an Italian noblewoman, a mistress to Pope Alexander VI, and the sister of Pope Paul III.[2] Known as Giulia la Bella (Italian for 'Julia the Beautiful'), she was a member of the noble Farnese family, who were prominent leaders in the Italian regions of Parma and Piacenza.[2] After marrying into the noble Orsini family in the Papal States, Farnese soon acquainted herself with, and initiated an affair with, the Spanish Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia.

Francis Borgia SJ (Valencian: Francesc de Borja; Spanish: Francisco de Borja; 28 October 1510 – 30 September 1572) was a Spanish Jesuit priest. The great-grandson of both Pope Alexander VI and King Ferdinand II of Aragon, he was Duke of Gandía and a grandee of Spain. After the death of his wife, Borgia renounced his titles and became a priest in the Society of Jesus, later serving as its third superior general.

Pope Paul V (Latin: Paulus PP. V; Italian: Paolo V) (17 September 1550[5] – 28 January 1621), born Camillo Borghese, was head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 16 May 1605 to his death, in January 1621.

Facade of St Peter's
Designed by Carlo Maderno (1608-1614) The inscription (1m letters) states:
"Paul V Borghese, Roman, Pontiff, in 1612, the seventh of his pontificate, [built] in honour of the Prince of Apostles
On February 10, 1608 the first stone of the Facade was laid and on July 21, 1612 most of the work was completed. It took another two years for the ornamentation, and the basilica was finally consecrated by Urban VIII on November 18, 1926.
From the central balcony, called the Loggia of the Blessings, the new pope is announced with "Habemus Papum", and gives the Urbi et Orbi blessing (to the city and to the world) upon his election and at Christmas and Easter. The relief under the balcony, by Buonvicino, represents Christ giving the keys to St. Peter. The facade is 114.69 metres (376.3 ft) wide and 45.55 metres (149.4 ft) high and is built of travertine.
Above the basic structure is an attic, with eight square windows decorated with small pilasters, surmounted by a balustrade and 13 statues in travertine. The statues on the balustrade represent Christ the Redeemer (19 feet high), St. John the Baptist and 11 Apostles. St. Mathias is included because he is associated with the other "Eleven" in bearing witness to Christ's Resurrection. St Peter is not included because his statue is below in the Square.
When Carlo Maderno started to build the facade, he was bound to the already existing Michelangelo's wings. He just put the attic all around the building, as planned by Michelangelo. That creation looks mighty and dynamic along the west side of the Basilica but is disharmonious in the facade. For this reason, at the far sides of the facade, Maderno planned two bell towers which lightened and soared the building. In 1621, at the death of Paul V, the ground subsided and the building of the two bell towers had to be stopped.
In 1646, Bernini tried to erect the bell towers again, but had to demolish the left-hand side bell tower because of cracks in the facade. Only the bases of the bell towers remain, two archways at the sides of the facade that seem to form part of it while they should have been separated. This was remedied in 1790 by the installation of two clocks designed by Giuseppe Valadier.
The eight gigantic columns of the facade are almost 10ft wide and 90 feet high.
The restoration of the facade and the 13 statues, begun in April 1985, was concluded on November 30, 1986. The original copper cross (1613) in the arms of the statue of the Redeemer, which was replaced by a new one during the work, was given to the Knights of Columbus in recognition of their support for the restoration.

Borgo (sometimes called also I Borghi) is the 14th rione (administrative district) of Rome, Italy. It is identified by the initials R. XIV and is included within Municipio I.
Its coat of arms shows a lion (after the name "Leonine City", which was also given to the district), lying in front of three mounts and a star. These – together with a lion rampant – are also part of the coat of arms of Pope Sixtus V, who annexed Borgo as the 14th rione of Rome.

While studying for A-levels she decided to become a nurse rather than a doctor because she wanted to apply a holistic approach to patient care.[4] Her choice of career was also motivated by her Christian faith, which she has held since the age of 16.[4] In 1980, she began reading for a nursing degree at South Bank Polytechnic,[5] with clinical placements at St Thomas' Hospital, and was awarded joint Registered General Nurse (RGN) status and a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in 1984.[1] In 1992, she completed a Master of Science (MSc) degree in inter-professional health and welfare studies at London South Bank University.[1]
Nursing career
Mullally held clinical nursing posts at St Thomas' Hospital and the Royal Marsden Hospital.[6] She held several nursing leadership roles, firstly at the former Westminster Hospital (where she was a ward sister and head of practice development) and then as director of nursing at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.[2] In 1999, she was appointed as chief nursing officer and director of patient experience for England: she was the youngest person to hold these positions.[7] She was a non-executive director of the English Board of Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting.[8][9]
In the 2005 New Year Honours, Mullally was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in recognition for her contribution to nursing and midwifery.[10] Mullally served as an independent governor for London South Bank University between 2005 and 2015, where she became vice-chairperson of the board of governors and chairwoman of the policy and resources committee.[11] She was a non-executive director of the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust from 2005 to 2012,[4][12] and held a non-executive role at Salisbury NHS Foundation between 2012 and 2016.[13] Mullally became a lay member of the council of King's College London in 2016.[14]

Elon Reeve Musk (/ˈiːlɒn/ EE-lon; born June 28, 1971) is a businessman and entrepreneur known for his leadership of Tesla, SpaceX, X, and xAI. Musk has been the wealthiest person in the world since 2025; as of February 2026, Forbes estimates his net worth to be around US$852 billion.
Born into a wealthy family in Pretoria, South Africa, Musk emigrated in 1989 to Canada; he has Canadian citizenship since his mother was born there. He received bachelor's degrees in 1997 from the University of Pennsylvania before moving to California to pursue business ventures. In 1995, Musk co-founded the software company Zip2. Following its sale in 1999, he co-founded X.com, an online payment company that later merged to form PayPal, which was acquired by eBay in 2002. Musk also became an American citizen in 2002.
In 2002, Musk founded the space technology company SpaceX, becoming its CEO and chief engineer; the company has since led innovations in reusable rockets and commercial spaceflight. Musk joined the automaker Tesla as an early investor in 2004 and became its CEO and product architect in 2008; it has since become a leader in electric vehicles. In 2015, he co-founded OpenAI to advance artificial intelligence (AI) research, but later left; growing discontent with the organization's direction and leadership in the AI boom in the 2020s led him to establish xAI, which became a subsidiary of SpaceX in 2026. In 2022, he acquired the social network Twitter, implementing significant changes, and rebranding it as X in 2023. His other businesses include the neurotechnology company Neuralink, which he co-founded in 2016, and the tunneling company the Boring Company, which he founded in 2017. In November 2025, a Tesla pay package worth $1 trillion for Musk was approved, which he is to receive over 10 years if he meets specific goals.
Musk was the largest donor in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, where he supported Donald Trump. After Trump was inaugurated as president in early 2025, Musk served as Senior Advisor to the President and as the de facto head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). After a public feud with Trump, Musk left the Trump administration and returned to managing his companies. Musk is a supporter of global far-right figures, causes, and political parties. His political activities, views, and statements have made him a polarizing figure. Musk has been criticized for COVID-19 misinformation, promoting conspiracy theories, and affirming antisemitic, racist, and transphobic comments. His acquisition of Twitter was controversial due to a subsequent increase in hate speech and the spread of misinformation on the service, following his pledge to decrease censorship. His role in the second Trump administration attracted public backlash, particularly in response to DOGE. The emails he sent to Jeffrey Epstein are included in the Epstein files, which were published between 2025–26 and became a topic of worldwide debate.

Elon Reeve Musk was born on June 28, 1971, in Pretoria, South Africa's administrative capital.[1][2] He is of British and Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry.[3][4] His mother, Maye (née Haldeman), is a model and dietitian born in Saskatchewan, Canada, and raised in South Africa.[5][6][7] Musk therefore holds both South African and Canadian citizenship from birth.[8] His father, Errol Musk, is a South African electromechanical engineer, pilot, sailor, consultant, emerald dealer, and property developer, who partly owned a rental lodge at Timbavati Private Nature Reserve.[9][10][11][12]
His maternal grandfather, Joshua N. Haldeman, who died in a plane crash when Elon was a toddler, was an American-born Canadian chiropractor, aviator and political activist in the technocracy movement[13][14] who moved to South Africa in 1950.[15]
Elon has a younger brother, Kimbal, a younger sister, Tosca, and four paternal half-siblings.[16][17][7][18] Musk was baptized as a child in the Anglican Church of Southern Africa.[19][20] Despite both Elon and Errol previously stating that Errol was a part owner of a Zambian emerald mine,[12] in 2023, Errol recounted that the deal he made was to receive "a portion of the emeralds produced at three small mines".[21][22] Errol was elected to the Pretoria City Council as a representative of the anti-apartheid Progressive Party and has said that his children shared their father's dislike of apartheid.[1]
After his parents divorced in 1979, Elon, aged around 9, chose to live with his father because Errol Musk had an Encyclopædia Britannica and a computer.[23][3][9] Elon later regretted his decision and became estranged from his father.[24] Elon has recounted trips to a wilderness school that he described as a "paramilitary Lord of the Flies" where "bullying was a virtue" and children were encouraged to fight over rations.[25] In one incident, after an altercation with a fellow pupil, Elon was thrown down concrete steps and beaten severely, leading to him being hospitalized for his injuries.[26] Elon described his father berating him after he was discharged from the hospital.[26] Errol denied berating Elon and claimed, "The [other] boy had just lost his father to suicide, and Elon had called him stupid. Elon had a tendency to call people stupid. How could I possibly blame that child?"[27]
Elon was an enthusiastic reader of books, and had attributed his success in part to having read The Lord of the Rings, the Foundation series, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.[11][28] At age ten, he developed an interest in computing and video games, teaching himself how to program from the VIC-20 user manual.[29] At age twelve, Elon sold his BASIC-based game Blastar to PC and Office Technology magazine for approximately $500 (equivalent to $1,600 in 2025).[30][31]

The first member of the family who was known to use the name "Rothschild" was Isaak Elchanan Rothschild, born in 1577. The name is derived from the German zum rothen Schild (with the old spelling "th"), meaning "at the red shield", in reference to the house where the family lived for many generations (in those days, houses were designated not by numbers, but by signs displaying different symbols or colours). A red shield can still be seen at the centre of the Rothschild coat of arms. The family's ascent to international prominence began in 1744, with the birth of Mayer Amschel Rothschild in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. He was the son of Amschel Moses Rothschild (born circa 1710),[13] a money changer who had traded with the Prince of Hesse.

And it is also a historical fact that the Assassins were prepared to adopt Christianity if they could gain greater power thereby (Christianity, that is, on the surface, just as the Knights Templar had done)]. Hammer points to the similarities of the two organizations. The followers of Hasan Ibn Sabah were in contact with the Templars, and had a similar method of organization. They were in existence before the Templars were formed: “The Ismailians ([or] Assassins) was the original, and [folks] the Order of the Templars, [was] the copy.”

"Q Who" is the 16th episode of the second season of the American science fiction television series Star Trek: The Next Generation. The episode first aired in broadcast syndication on May 5, 1989. It was written by executive producer Maurice Hurley and directed by Rob Bowman. "Q Who" marked the first appearance of the Borg, who were designed by Hurley and originally intended to appear in the first season episode "The Neutral Zone".
Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures of the Starfleet crew of the Federation starship Enterprise-D. In this episode, the almost-omnipotent entity known as "Q" (John de Lancie) arrives on the Enterprise and decides that Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) is ignorant and overconfident. Q then sends the ship across the galaxy where the crew make first contact with the cybernetically enhanced assimilating race known as the Borg. After first trying to make peace and then trying to destroy the Borg ship, and failing at both, Picard is forced to beg for Q's help.
Costume designs were created by Dorinda Wood, while Michael Westmore developed the prosthetics worn on the actor's heads. The designs were reminiscent of creations of H. R. Giger and the character Lord Dread from the television series Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future. The episode went over budget and nearly required additional filming time. "Q Who" was watched by 10.3 million viewers. The critical reception has been positive, with the episode described as the first "great episode" of the series.[1] It was nominated for three Emmy Awards, winning two.
Plot
On his way back to his quarters, Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) steps off a turbolift and instead of finding himself in a corridor onboard the Enterprise, ends up on board a shuttlecraft with Q (John de Lancie) at the controls. Picard demands to be returned to the Enterprise; Q calls him "an impossibly stubborn human" and refuses to take him back until he agrees to at least hear Q's requests. Q then transports them to Ten Forward, where Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg), who recognizes him, warns Picard not to trust him. Q reveals that he wants to join the crew to assist them as they push further into unexplored regions of the galaxy, asserting they are not ready for the threats they will encounter. Picard chooses to make their own way into the unknown, and rejects Q's offer. Irritated by Picard's arrogance, Q sends the Enterprise thousands of light years across the galaxy, then disappears. Lt. Commander Data (Brent Spiner) reports that the nearest starbase is over two years away at maximum warp. A fearful Guinan warns Picard to set course for home immediately, but Picard is curious to explore.
The crew discover a nearby planet that shows signs of a previous civilization but has been stripped of all industrial and mechanical elements, similar to destruction found several months ago at Federation outposts bordering the Romulan Neutral Zone. Moments later, they detect and are then met by a large, cube-shaped vessel which does not answer their hails. Guinan warns Picard that the ship belongs to the Borg, a powerful, cyborg-like race that nearly wiped out her people, scattering the survivors across the galaxy, and again urges Picard to leave immediately or face certain destruction. Though Picard orders the Enterprise's shields raised, a single, speechless Borg transports into Engineering and begins to probe the Enterprise's computer systems. Lt. Worf (Michael Dorn) initially attempts to incapacitate the intruder with his phaser set on stun, which has no effect. Worf is forced to use the kill setting in order to neutralize the Borg. Immediately afterwards, a second Borg appears and continues probing the computer, now proving to be completely immune to phaser fire. Completing its mission, it strips several components from the dead Borg, then transports itself and the dead Borg away. The Borg ship contacts the Enterprise and demands their surrender. The Borg then immobilizes the Enterprise with a tractor beam, disables the shields, and uses a cutting beam to slice into the saucer section to remove a cross-section of the ship, killing eighteen people.
Picard orders return fire, and the Enterprise apparently disables the Borg ship. Against Guinan's advice, Commander William Riker (Jonathan Frakes) takes an away team to the immense Borg cube where they find mostly dormant Borg drones and a Borg nursery. Data discovers that the Borg ship is regenerating and repairing the damage made by the Enterprise. The away team is beamed directly to the bridge, and Picard orders that they depart at Warp 8. The Borg ship suddenly reactivates and begins pursuit, gaining on the Enterprise. Picard attempts to outrun the Borg by ordering Lt. Commander La Forge (LeVar Burton) to engage maximum warp, but the Borg are able to keep up. Q appears on the bridge and warns Picard that the Borg will never stop chasing them, and cannot be defeated. Picard attempts to fight back against the Borg to no avail, and finally admits he needs Q's help. Q obliges, safely returning the Enterprise to its last position in Federation space. Picard, though thankful for Q's lesson, blames Q for the deaths of his crew. Q disappears, but not before reminding them again of their ill-preparedness. Guinan warns Picard that now that the Borg are aware of the Federation's presence, they will be coming. Picard reflects that perhaps Q did the right thing for the wrong reasons by bringing forward their encounter with the Borg, as it has informed the Federation what lies ahead of them as they continue to explore.

Throughout history, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem has been subject to entry restrictions on the basis of religious affiliation. These restrictions have varied depending on the time period and the authority in power. Like the rest of the Holy Land, the site holds great significance in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, among other Abrahamic religions.
Under the Ottoman Empire, there was an absolute ban on non-Muslim entry to the Temple Mount before the Tanzimat, which was a period of liberal reformation that began in 1839 and continued until 1876. Following the Tanzimat, non-Muslims were allowed to enter the site as long as they requested a special permit from the Ottoman authorities. Under the British Mandate for Palestine, the British government was prohibited by the League of Nations from interfering with the Ottoman-era "Status Quo" and the Jordanian Hashemite custodianship continued to exercise administrative control over Christian and Muslim sites throughout Jerusalem, with non-Muslim access to the Temple Mount still requiring special permission.
During the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, Jerusalem was divided, with Israel capturing West Jerusalem and Jordan capturing East Jerusalem, including the Old City. Under Jordan, the present-day Jerusalem Islamic Waqf was established and non-Muslim access to the Temple Mount remained limited; Jews and Israelis (incl. Muslims with Israeli citizenship) were banned from entering the site entirely. During the 1967 Arab–Israeli War, Israel captured all of Jerusalem, but kept the Jordan-based Jerusalem Islamic Waqf in power of affairs concerning the Christian and Islamic sites there.
At present, Israel and Jordan continue to have administrative responsibility over the Temple Mount, with the Israeli government controlling entry and the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf managing what is known to Muslims as Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, which includes the Al-Aqsa Mosque.[1][2] Jews and Christians are generally restricted from entering for extended periods and may only visit the site as tourists, as the Status Quo only permits Muslim prayer on the Temple Mount; Jewish entry restrictions are also dependent on the Chief Rabbinate of Israel, which holds the position that entering the site for prayer or worship goes against Judaic law. However, Israel also frequently prohibits Palestinian Muslims under the age of 55 from entering the site, which, according to Palestinian politician Mustafa Barghouti, makes more than 95% of the Palestinian populace ineligible.[3] Due to widespread tension stemming from entry restrictions and religious activities, clashes between Israeli police and Palestinians are common at the Temple Mount, including at Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, among other sites.

There is an underground fertility lodge and infant nursery under Al-Aqsa Mosque on Temple Mount in Jerusalem and is there is going to be an Avatar of the leadership of Cardinal Louis Sako from Baghdad the future Peter Romanus elected Pope at the Vatican, a false flag event is to occur that assassinates this Avatar, Wailing Wall is to be attacked first and then Kaaba and then Church of Holy Sepulcher and finally Al-Aqsa Mosque
The 1979 Kaaba attack, also known as the Grand Mosque seizure, was a significant event in Islamic history, where armed militants took control of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, leading to a violent two-week siege.
Overview of the Attack
Date and Duration: The attack began on November 20, 1979, and lasted until December 4, 1979.
When Attalus, the Pontiff and King of Pergamos, died in 133BC, he bequested the Headship of the "Babylonian Priesthood" to Rome. William B. Barker in his book "Lares and Penates cracks open the codeword Pergamos as used by St. John in Revelation 2:13. He writes: "The Chaldean Magi enjoyed a long period of prosperity at Babylon. A pontiff appointed by the sovereign ruled over a college of seventy-two hierophants.... [just as the popes have 70 Cardinals] the defeated Chaldeans fled to Asia Minor, and fixed their central college at Pergamos, and too the Palladium of Babylon, the CUBIC stone [believed to represent Cybele or Kybele, the mother goddess] with them. Here, independent of state control, they carried on the rites of their religion, and plotted against the peace of the Persian Empire, caballing with the Greeks for that purpose."
Thus we see that the Chaldeans continued to wield political and religious influence, injecting thier presence into the next world empire. When the city was later given to Rome (Rome acquired the city of Pergamos by decree of Attalus III, bequething his kingdom to the Roman Caesar), the priesthood of Pergamos moved to the new power center on the Italian peninsula."

Archbishop of Santiago invites Pope to attend the Holy Year 2027
The Archbishop of Santiago de Compostela, Francisco José Prieto, has invited Pope Leo XIV to take part in the celebrations of the next Holy Year, which will take place in 2027. The invitation was extended on August 27, at the end of the general audience at the Vatican, during the traditional greetings exchanged between the Pope and Church representatives.
Prieto’s visit to Rome was part of a diocesan pilgrimage organized by the Archdiocese of Santiago. During his meeting with Leo XIV, the archbishop highlighted the symbolic importance of a papal visit, underlining how significant the Pope’s presence at the tomb of the Apostle James would be for both the city and its pilgrims.
According to the archdiocese, the archbishop conveyed “the hope and enthusiasm of the entire diocesan Church” in preparing for the event. Pope Leo XIV expressed his gratitude for the invitation and noted that any decision regarding a visit to Santiago would be handled through the Vatican’s usual diplomatic channels.
Santiago de Compostela is one of Europe’s most important Christian pilgrimage destinations and the resting place of the relics of the Apostle James the Greater, brother of the Evangelist John. The Holy Year is celebrated whenever July 25, the date commemorating the martyrdom of the apostle, falls on a Sunday, a periodic occurrence that follows a cycle of eleven, six, five and six years.
In the 21st century, Santiago de Compostela has already celebrated three Holy Years: in 2004, 2010 and 2021, with the latter exceptionally extended by one additional year by decision of Pope Francis due to the covid-19 pandemic. After 2027, the following Holy Years are scheduled for 2032, 2038 and 2049.

Eusebio Francisco Kino, SJ (Italian: Eusebio Francesco Chini, Spanish: Eusebio Francisco Kino; 10 August 1645 – 15 March 1711), often referred to as Father Kino, was an Italian Jesuit, missionary, geographer, explorer, cartographer, mathematician and astronomer born in the Bishopric of Trent, Holy Roman Empire.
For the last 24 years of his life he worked in the region then known as the Pimería Alta, modern-day Sonora in Mexico and southern Arizona in the United States. He explored the region and worked with the indigenous Native American population, including primarily the Tohono O'Odham, Sobaipuri and other Upper Piman groups. He proved that the Baja California Territory was not an island but a peninsula by leading an overland expedition there. By the time of his death he had established 24 missions and visitas (country chapels or visiting stations).[1]
Early life
Kino was born Eusebio Chini[1] (the spelling Kino was the version for use in Spanish-speaking domains) in the village of Segno, (now part of the municipality of Predaia), then in the sovereign Prince-bishopric of Trent, a part of the Holy Roman Empire. In 1665, after his recovery from an illness, as part of a vow fulfillment, he adopted Francesco as second name, for devotion to Saint Francis Xavier.
The name is sometimes found in its Latin version (Eusebius Franciscus Chinus) or even in its originally German form (Eusebius Franz Kühn).[citation needed]
His parents were Francesco Chini and Margherita Luchi who belonged to the local noble families.[2] The exact date of his birth is unknown but he was baptized on 10 August 1645 in the parish church, located in Taio. Kino was educated at the college of the Jesuits in Hall in Tirol, Austria, and after recuperating from a serious illness, he joined the Society of Jesus on 20 November 1665. From 1664 to 1669, he received religious training as a member of the Society at Freiburg, Ingolstadt, and Landsberg, Bavaria. After completing a final stage of training in the Society, during which he taught mathematics in Ingolstadt, he received Holy Orders as a priest on 12 June 1677.[citation needed]
Although Kino wanted to go to the Orient, he was sent to New Spain. Due to travel delays while crossing Europe, he missed the ship on which he was to travel and had to wait a year for another ship. While waiting in Cádiz, Spain, he wrote some observations, done during late 1680 and early 1681, about his study of a comet (later known as Kirch's comet), which he published as the Exposición astronómica de el cometa.[1] This publication was later the subject of a sonnet by the noted colonial nun and poet of New Spain, Sor (Sister) Juana Inés de la Cruz, O.S.H.[3]
Mission in Baja California
Main article: Spanish missions in Baja California
Kino's first assignment was to lead the Atondo expedition to the Baja California peninsula of Las Californias Province of New Spain. In 1683, the expedition was forced to abandon an attempted settlement and mission at La Paz because of hostilities with the natives. Later that year, he established a second settlement at Misión San Bruno. After a prolonged drought there in 1685, Kino and the Jesuit missionaries were forced to abandon the mission and return to the viceregal capital of Mexico City.[1]

California Lottery's keno ruled illegal
SAN FRANCISCO, June 24 -- The state Supreme Court unanimously ruled Monday that the electronic keno game run by the California State Lottery is a violation of state gaming laws and must be discontinued. In a case brought by the state's race horse industry, the justices found by a 7-0 margin that in its current form the CSL Keno game qualifies as casino gaming and does not fit the legal definition of a lottery. 'The CSL makes several arguments for characterizing its keno game as a lottery rather than a banking (casino gaming) scheme...(but) none is persuasive,' wrote Associate Justice Katherine Werdegar. 'The feature that makes CSL Keno a banking game rather than a lottery is not that it is a numbers game or is played through a computer and video terminal, but that it offers fixed payoffs to a number of bettors determined by the draw, and that the operator therefore has a stake in the play of the game,' she added. State lottery officials said they would comply with the ruling and cease CSL Keno operations at 7,500 retail outlets throughout California at 4:40 p.m. Monday. In a prepared release, lottery officials said they had anticipated the high court's action in the agency's 1996-97 operating budget and also had begun a search for a replacement game. Keno accounted for 16 percent of the state lottery's annual sales, trailing the Super Lotto game (48.3 percent) and scratchers (25.9 percent) in dollars generated. Last year, CSL Keno generated $421 million in sales.
The high court's decision comes in a case with a lengthy legal history. The state horse racing industry, trying to protect the dollars wagered at thoroughbred tracks in the Bay Area and Southern California, filed suit claiming CSL Keno violated gaming laws. A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge ruled in the state lottery's favor, a decision that was upheld by the appeals court. But the case was then appealed to the Supreme Court. State Attorney General Dan Lungren heralded the decision, hoping it can be used to regulate casinos on Indian reservations. American Indian gaming officials have long defended their video slot machines, poker and keno games by pointing to the CSL Keno game. 'With the loss of the Lottery's Keno game, there can now be no doubt that the machines being used on tribal lands are not lotteries as this court has defined,' Lungren said. 'For five years the state has been battling in court to prove the slot machines currently in use on tribal lands are illegal. This ruling brings an end to the question of whether or not these slot machines are allowed in any form in California, and removes the final arguments slot machine proponents can make,' he added. The California Department of Justice estimates there are currently around 12,100 slot machines in use on 38 tribal reservations around the state. Lungren said he would press the four U.S. attorneys located in California, who have jurisdiction over the reservations, to make every effort possible to get the machines off the tribal lands. 'I am...confident the U.S. attorneys in California will now finally begin to take steps to end this flagrant flaunting of federal and state law -- action which no other group in the state would have been allowed to get away with for so long,' Lungren said.

Fulcanelli’s main strategy, the key to unraveling the mystery, lies in an understanding of what he calls the “phonetic law” of the “spoken cabala,” or the “language of the birds.” This punning, multilingual wordplay can be used to reveal unusual and, according to Fulcanelli, meaningful associations between ideas. “What unsuspected marvels we should find, if we knew how to dissect words, to strip them of their bark and liberate the spirit, the divine light which is within,” Fulcanelli writes.

English Masonry wanted the Zionists out of Russia in order to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine, while French Grand Orient Masonry desired to keep the Zionists within
Russia. Russian Jews, although covertly manipulated by both Gentile Freemasonries, played a significant role in the two Russian Revolutions of 1917. Even the wealthy Rothschilds and Warburgs were pawns in the hands of the Priory of Sion and the Gentile Templars. Jews were used, then abused as scapegoats. Freemasonry went unscathed.
Indeed, the Russian Revolution, the secret conflict it provoked between English and French
Freemasonry, and the financial competition it generated between the Rothschilds and the Warburgs, was, and still is, only a manifestation of the thousand-year-old struggle between the Priory of Sion and the Knights Templar.

By the time of the success of the First Crusade in 1099, the Hospital of St John was already well known among pilgrims and was regarded as a separate organization from the monastery of St Mary. The monastic brothers at the hospital saw it as their duty to provide the best possible treatment to the poor. They were given an endowment by Godfrey of Bouillon, the leader of the First Crusade, before he died in 1100.

The Order – A Brief History
The origins of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem date back to the First Crusade, when its leader, Godfrey de Bouillon, liberated Jerusalem. As part of his operations to organize the religious, military and public bodies of the territories newly freed from Muslim control, he founded the Order of Canons of the Holy Sepulchre. According to accounts of the Crusades, in 1103 the first King of Jerusalem, Baldwin I, assumed the leadership of this canonical order, and reserved the right for himself and his successors, as agents of the Patriarch of Jerusalem, to appoint Knights to it, should the Patriarch be absent or unable to do so.

The equites (/ˈɛkwɪtiːz/; lit. 'horse' or 'cavalrymen', though sometimes referred to as "knights" in English) constituted the second of the property/social-based classes of ancient Rome, ranking below the senatorial class. A member of the equestrian order was known as an eques (Latin: [ˈɛ.kʷɛs]).

The Knights had unofficially been in operation since 1114. At that earlier date they were known
as milice du Christ, soldiers of Christ. In March, 1117, King Baudoum I, who owed his throne to the Order of Sion, took the constitution of the Knights Templar to the Order of Sion for approval.
The Order of the Knights Templar was approved in 1118.

And it is also a historical fact that the Assassins were prepared to adopt Christianity if they could gain greater power thereby (Christianity, that is, on the surface, just as the Knights Templar had done)]. Hammer points to the similarities of the two organizations. The followers of Hasan Ibn Sabah were in contact with the Templars, and had a similar method of organization. They were in existence before the Templars were formed: “The Ismailians ([or] Assassins) was the original, and [folks] the Order of the Templars, [was] the copy.”

The Order of Calatrava (Spanish: Orden de Calatrava, Portuguese: Ordem de Calatrava) was one of the four Spanish military orders and the first military order founded in Castile, but the second to receive papal approval. The papal bull confirming the Order of Calatrava was given by Pope Alexander III on September 26, 1164. Most of the political and military power of the order had dissipated by the end of the 15th century, but the last dissolution of the order's property did not occur until 1838.'
Modern TimesIn 1931, once again unilaterally, the Second Spanish Republic suppressed the Spanish Orders. To survive, they had to resort to the Ley de Asociaciones Civiles ("Law of Civil Associations"), leading a precarious existence until the Concordat of 1953 recognized the Priory. Afterward, by the papal bull Constat militarium, the Priory was reduced to a mere title of the Bishop of Ciudad Real.In 1980, upon request by his august father, who was appointed Dean President of the Council, King Juan Carlos I by royal initiative caused the rebirth of the Orders. Under the Apostolic Pastoral Tertio millennio adveniente, the Spanish Orders began their renewal in 1996.Today, the aim of the Spanish Orders is basically the same as they had when founded: the defense of the Catholic faith. The sword has been put aside, but their doctrine, example, self-sanctification, and divine worship remain active, aside from their cultural and social activities.Their two hundred and fifty members guard the spirit and life of the Orders of Santiago, Calatrava, Alcántara, and Montesa under their Grand Master, King Felipe VI, and the Real Consejo de las Órdenes (Royal Council of the Orders) presided over by his Royal Highness Pedro of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, Duke of Calabria.[4]The Swiss luxury watchmaker Patek Philippe took the cross of the order in 1887 and established it as its company logo as a tribute to the knights, which remains until today.[5][6]

The Oculus was positioned as part of the World Trade Center masterplan by Daniel Libeskind and designed by SANTIAGO CALATRAVA. The structure’s white metal-clad steel ribs reach up and out in a monumental move symbolic of a hand releasing a dove.The structure's orientation serves as a lasting reminder of the attacks of September 11, 2001. It is in alignment with the sun’s solar angles on each September 11, from 8:46 am, when the first plane struck, until 10:28 am, when the second tower collapsed. Its central skylight fits this alignment and washes the Oculus floor with a beam of light.

Todd Morgan Beamer was an American passenger aboard United Airlines Flight 93, which was hijacked and crashed as part of the September 11 attacks in 2001. He was one of the passengers who attempted to regain control of the aircraft from the hijackers."
"Following this, the passengers and flight crew decided to act.[1] According to accounts of cell phone conversations, Beamer, along with Mark Bingham, Tom Burnett, and Jeremy Glick, formed a plan to take the plane back from the hijackers.[10] They were joined by other passengers, including Lou Nacke, Rich Guadagno, Alan Beaven, Honor Elizabeth Wainio, Linda Gronlund, and William Cashman, along with flight attendants Sandra Bradshaw and CeeCee Lyles, in discussing their options and voting on a course of action, ultimately deciding to storm the cockpit and take over the plane.[1] Beamer told Jefferson that the group was planning to "jump on" the hijackers and fly the plane into the ground before the hijackers' plan could be followed through.[7][8] Beamer recited the Lord's Prayer and the 23rd Psalm with Jefferson, prompting others to join in. Beamer requested of Jefferson, "If I don't make it, please call my family and let them know how much I love them." After this, Jefferson heard muffled voices and Beamer clearly answering, "Are you ready? Okay. Let's ROLL. These were the last words spoken by Beamer heard by Lisa Jefferson.[1][8][9]"

The story behind this image of slain Davis police officer Natalie CORONA
By Lisa Fernandez and KTVU Published January 12, 2019 Updated December 28, 2020 California KTVU FOX 2
DAVIS, Calif. (KTVU) - In the image, she's wearing a royal BLUE gown, carrying a black-striped American flag with a thin blue line streaked across it.
Her heels are high. Her hair is done. Her smile is beaming. And she's standing in the middle of Leesville Grade Road next to a field in Williams, Colusa County, population 21,000, in California's Central Valley, where her father was a sheriff's deputy and now a county supervisor.
It's this compelling photograph of slain Davis police officer Natalie Corona that circulated throughout the country on Friday, hours after the 22-year-old was shot to death by a suspect identified on Saturday as Kevin Douglas Limbaugh, 48. A note found on his bed inside his home, where he later killed himself, stated that he believed Davis police bombarded him with ultrasonic waves."

The Order of Assassins (Arabic: حَشّاشِین, romanized: Ḥaššāšīyīn; Persian: حشاشين, romanized: Haššāšīn) was a Nizari Isma'ili Shia Islamic military order founded by Hasan-i Sabbah in 1090. Based out of the Nizari Isma'ili state, which comprised a network of mountain castles in Persia and Syria, they conducted several high-profile assassinations throughout the Levant during the Crusades. The Assassins held a strict subterfuge policy in the region and are believed to have killed hundreds of people who were deemed enemies of their state over the course of 200 years, including other Shias (the Fatimids), as well as Sunnis (the Abbasids and Seljuks) and Christians (the Crusaders) alike.
The English word "assassin" is derived from the Arabic word hashshashin, which shares etymological roots with the word hashish, supposedly referring to the order's tactics and a common but contested belief that many of their assassinations were carried out by individuals under the influence of the drug.[3]

How the Vatican created Islam. The astonishing story from an ex-Jesuit priest, Alberto Rivera,
which was told to him by Cardinal Bea while he was at the Vatican.
By Alberto Rivera | cloakanddagger.de
Article from: http://www.davidicke.com/content/view/744/48/. From "The Prophet":
http://www.choosinglife.net/Islam.htm (website disabled)
"The Destruction of the Temple at Jerusalem" by Nicolas Poussin (1637)
This information came from Alberto Rivera, former Jesuit priest after his conversion to
Protestant Christianity. It is excerpted from "The Prophet," published by Chick Publications, PO
Box 661, Chino CA 91708. Since its publication, after several unsuccessful attempts on his life,
he died suddenly from food poisoning. His testimony should not be silenced. Dr. Rivera speaks
to us still ...
"What I'm going to tell you is what I learned in secret briefings in
the Vatican when I was a Jesuit priest, under oath and induction. A
Jesuit cardinal named Augustine Bea showed us how desperately
the Roman Catholics wanted Jerusalem at the end of the third
century. Because of its religious history and its strategic location,
the Holy City was considered a priceless treasure. A scheme had to
be developed to make Jerusalem a Roman Catholic city.
"The great untapped source of manpower that could do this job was the children of Ishmael. The
poor Arabs fell victim to one of the most clever plans ever devised by the powers of darkness.
Early Christians went everywhere with the gospel setting up small churches, but they met heavy
opposition. Both the Jews and the Roman government persecuted the believers in Christ to stop
their spread. But the Jews rebelled against Rome, and in 70 AD, Roman armies under General
Titus smashed Jerusalem and destroyed the great Jewish temple which was the heart of Jewish
worship...in fulfillment of Christ's prophecy in Matthew 24:2.
"On this holy placed today where the temple once stood, the Dome of the Rock Mosque stands
as Islam's second most holy place. Sweeping changes were in the wind. Corruption, apathy,
greed, cruelty, perversion and rebellion were eating at the Roman Empire, and it was ready to
collapse. The persecution against Christians was useless as they continued to lay down their lives
for the gospel of Christ.
"The only way Satan could stop this thrust was to create a counterfeit "Christian" religion to
destroy the work of God. The solution was in Rome. Their religion had come from ancient
Babylon and all it needed was a face-lift. This didn't happen overnight, but began in the writings
of the 'early church fathers'.
"It was through their writings that a new religion would take shape. The statue of Jupiter in
Rome was eventually called St. Peter, and the statue of Venus was changed to the Virgin Mary.
The site chosen for its headquarters was on one of the seven hills called 'Vaticanus', the place of
the diving serpent where the Satanic temple of Janus stood.
"The great counterfeit religion was Roman Catholicism, called 'Mystery, Babylon the Great, the
Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth'- Revelation 17:5. She was raised up to block
the gospel, slaughter the believers in Christ, establish religions, create wars and make the nations
drunk with the wine of her fornication as we will see.
"Three major religions have one thing in common - each has a holy place where they look for
guidance. Roman Catholicism looks to the Vatican as the Holy City. The Jews look to the wailing
wall in Jerusalem, and the Muslims look to Mecca as their Holy City. Each group believes that
they receive certain types of blessings for the rest of their lives for visiting their holy place. In
the beginning, Arab visitors would bring gifts to the 'House of God', and the keepers of the
Kaaba were gracious to all who came. Some brought their idols and, not wanting to offend these
people, their idols were placed inside the sanctuary. It is said that the Jews looked upon the
Kaaba as an outlying tabernacle of the Lord with veneration until it became polluted with idols.

"In a tribal contention over a well(Zamzam) the treasure of the Kaaba and the offerings that
pilgrims had given were dumped down the well and it was filled with sand - it disappeared.
Many years later Adb Al-Muttalib was given visions telling him where to find the well and its
treasure. He became the hero of Mecca, and he was destined to become the grandfather of
Muhammad. Before this time, Augustine became the bishop of North Africa and was effective in
winning Arabs to Roman Catholicism, including whole tribes. It was among these Arab converts
to Catholicism that the concept of looking for an Arab prophet developed.
"Muhammad's father died from illness and sons born to great Arab families in places like Mecca
were sent into the desert to be suckled and weaned and spend some of their childhood with
Bedouin tribes for training and to avoid the plagues in the cities.
"After his mother and grandfather also died, Muhammad was with his uncle when a Roman
Catholic monk learned of his identity and said, "Take your brother's son back to his country and
guard him against the Jews, for by god, if they see him and know of him that which I know, they
will construe evil against him. Great things are in store for this brother's son of yours."
"The Roman Catholic monk had fanned the flames for future Jewish persecutions at the hands of
the followers of Muhammad. The Vatican desperately wanted Jerusalem because of its religious
significance, but was blocked by the Jews.
"Another problem was the true Christians in North Africa who preached the gospel. Roman
Catholicism was growing in power, but would not tolerate opposition. Somehow the Vatican had
to create a weapon to eliminate both the Jews and the true Christian believers who refused to
accept Roman Catholicism. Lookng to North Africa, they saw the multitudes of Arabs as a
source of manpower to do their dirty work. Some Arabs had become Roman Catholic, and could
be used in reporting information to leaders in Rome. Others were used in an underground spy
network to carry out Rome's master plan to control the great multitudes of Arabs who rejected
Catholicism. When 'St Augustine' appeared on the scene, he knew what was going on. His
monasteries served as bases to seek out and destroy Bible manuscripts owned by the true
Christians.
"The Vatican wanted to create a messiah for the Arabs, someone they could raise up as a great
leader, a man with charisma whom they could train, and eventually unite all the non-Catholic
Arabs behind him, creating a mighty army that would ultimately capture Jerusalem for the pope.
In the Vatican briefing, Cardinal Bea told us this story:
'A wealthy Arabian lady who was a faithful follower of the pope played a tremendous part in this
drama. She was a widow named Khadijah. She gave her wealth to the church and retired to a
convent, but was given an assignment. She was to find a brilliant young man who could be used
by the Vatican to create a new religion and become the messiah for the children of Ishmael.
Khadijah had a cousin named Waraquah,, who was also a very faithful Roman Catholic and the
Vatican placed him in a critical role as Muhammad's advisor. He had tremendous influence on
Muhammad.
'Teachers were sent to young Muhammad and he had intensive training. Muhammad studied the
works of St. Augustine which prepared him for his "great calling." The Vatican had Catholic
Arabs across North Africa spread the story of a great one who was about to rise up among the
people and be the chosen one of their God.
'While Muhammad was being prepared, he was told that his enemies were the Jews and that the
only true Christians were Roman Catholic. He was taught that others calling themselves
Christians were actually wicked impostors and should be destroyed. Many Muslims believe this.
'Muhammad began receiving "divine revelations" and his wife's Catholic cousin Waraquah
helped interpret them. From this came the Koran. In the fifth year of Muhammad's mission,
persecution came against his followers because they refused to worship the idols in the Kaaba.
'Muhammad instructed some of them to flee to Abysinnia where Negus, the Roman Catholic king
accepted them because Muhammad's views on the virgin Mary were so close to Roman Catholic
doctrine. These Muslims received protection from Catholic kings because of Muhammad's
revelations.
'Muhammad later conquered Mecca and the Kaaba was cleared of idols. History proves that
before Islam came into existence, the Sabeans in Arabia worshiped the moon-god who was
married to the sun-god. They gave birth to three goddesses who were worshipped throughout the
Arab world as "Daughters of Allah" An idol excavated at Hazor in Palestine in 1950's shows
Allah sitting on a throne with the crescent moon on his chest.
'Muhammad claimed he had a vision from Allah and was told, "You are the messenger of Allah."
This began his career as a prophet and he received many messages. By the time Muhammad
died, the religion of Islam was exploding. The nomadic Arab tribes were joining forces in the
name of Allah and his prophet, Muhammad.
'Some of Muhammad's writings were placed in the Koran, others were never published. They are
now in the hands of high ranking holy men (Ayatollahs) in the Islamic faith.'
"When Cardinal Bea shared with us in the Vatican, he said, these writings are guarded because
they contain information that links the Vatican to the creation of Islam. Both sides have so much
information on each other, that if exposed, it could create such a scandal that it would be a
disaster for both religions.
"In their "holy" book, the Koran, Christ is regarded as only a prophet. If the pope was His
representative on earth, then he also must be a prophet of God. This caused the followers of
Muhammad to fear and respect the pope as another "holy man."
"The pope moved quickly and issued bulls granting the Arab generals permission to invade and
conquer the nations of North Africa. The Vatican helped to finance the building of these massive
Islamic armies in exchange for three favors:
1. Eliminate the Jews and Christians (true believers, which they called infidels).
2. Protect the Augustinian Monks and Roman Catholics.
3. Conquer Jerusalem for "His Holiness" in the Vatican.
"As time went by, the power of Islam became tremendous - Jews and true Christians were
slaughtered, and Jerusalem fell into their hands. Roman Catholics were never attacked, nor were
their shrines, during this time. But when the pope asked for Jerusalem, he was surprised at their
denial! The Arab generals had such military success that they could not be intimidated by the
pope - nothing could stand in the way of their own plan.
"Under Waraquah's direction, Muhammad wrote that Abraham offered Ishmael as a sacrifice.
The Bible says that Isaac was the sacrifice, but Muhammad removed Isaac's name and inserted
Ishmael's name. As a result of this and Muhammad's vision, the faithful Muslims built a mosque,
the Dome of the Rock, in Ishmael's honor on the site of the Jewish temple that was destroyed in
70 AD. This made Jerusalem the 2nd most holy place in the Islam faith. How could they give
such a sacred shrine to the pope without causing a revolt?
Image from: letsgo.com
"The pope realized what they had created was out of control when he heard they were calling
"His Holiness" an infidel. The Muslim generals were determined to conquer the world for Allah
and now they turned toward Europe. Islamic ambassadors approached the pope and asked for
papal bulls to give them permission to invade European countries.
"The Vatican was outraged; war was inevitable. Temporal power and control of the world was
considered the basic right of the pope. He wouldn't think of sharing it with those whom he
considered heathens.
"The pope raised up his armies and called them crusades to hold back the children of Ishmael
from grabbing Catholic Europe. The crusades lasted centuries and Jerusalem slipped out of the
pope's hands.
"Turkey fell and Spain and Portugal were invaded by Islamic forces. In Portugal, they called a
mountain village "Fatima" in honor of Muhammad's daughter, never dreaming it would become
world famous.
"Years later when the Muslim armies were poised on the islands of Sardinia and Corsica, to
invade Italy, there was a serious problem. The Islamic generals realized they were too far
extended. It was time for peace talks. One of the negotiators was Francis of Assisi.
"As a result, the Muslims were allowed to occupy Turkey in a "Christian" world, and the
Catholics were allowed to occupy Lebanon in the Arab world. It was also agreed that the
Muslims could build mosques in Catholic countries without interference as long as Roman
Catholicism could flourish Arab countries.
"Cardinal Bea told us in Vatican briefings that both the Muslims and Roman Catholics agreed to
block and destroy the efforts of their common enemy, Bible-believing Christianm missionaries.
Through these concordats, Satan blocked the children of Ishmael from a knowledge of Scripture
and the truth.
"A light control was kept on Muslims from the Ayatollah down through the Islamic priests, nuns
and monks. The Vatican also engineers a campaign of hatred between the Muslim Arabs and the
Jews. Before this, they had co-existed peacefully.
"The Islamic community looks on the Bible-believing missionary as a devil who brings poison to
the children of Allah. This explains years of ministry in those countries with little results.
"The next plan was to control Islam. In 1910, Portugal was going
Socialistic. Red flags were appearing and the Catholic Church was
facing a major problem. Increasing numbers were against the
church.
"The Jesuits wanted Russia involved, and the location of this vision
at Fatima could play a key part in pulling Islam to the Mother
Church.
"In 1917, the Virgin appeared in Fatima. "The Mother of God" was
a smashing success, playing to overflow crowds. As a result, the
Socialists of Portugal suffered a major defeat.
"Roman Catholics world-wide began praying for the conversion of
Russia and the Jesuits invented the Novenas to Fatima which they
could perform throughout North Africa, spreading good public
relations to the Muslim world. The Arabs thought they were
honoring the daughter of Muhammad, which is what the Jesuits wanted them to believe.

"As a result of the vision of Fatima, Pope Pius XII ordered his Nazi army to crush Russia and the
Orthodox religion and make Russia Roman Catholic." A few years after he lost World war II,
Pope Pius XII startled the world with his phoney dancing sun vision to keep Fatima in the news.
It was great religious show biz and the world swallowed it.
"Not surprisingly, Pope Pius was the only one to see this vision.
As a result, a group of followers has grown into a Blue Army
world-wide, totaling millions of faithful Roman Catholics ready to
die for the blessed virgin.
"But we haven't seen anything yet. The Jesuits have their Virgin
Mary scheduled to appear four or five times in China, Russia, and
major appearance in the U.S.
"What has this got to do with Islam? Note Bishop Sheen's
statement: "Our Lady's appearances at Fatima marked the turning point in the history of the
world's 350 million Muslims. After the death of his daughter, Muhammad wrote that she "is the
most holy of all women in Paradise, next to Mary."
"He believed that the Virgin Mary chose to be known as Our Lady of Fatima as a sign and a
pledge that the Muslims who believe in Christ's virgin birth, will come to believe in His divinity.
"Bishop Sheen pointed out that the pilgrim virgin statues of Our Lady of Fatima were
enthusiastically received by Muslims in Africa, India, and elsewhere, and that many Muslims are
now coming into the Roman Catholic Church."

JP2 And The Quran
Jimmy Akin
Posted on April 6, 2006
This question has come up over the years, and I know that I’ve addressed it on the show (though I don’t have the faintest idea in what episodes), but I don’t seem to have done so on the blog, so here goes. . . .
First, I’ve reprinted the famous picture of the event above so that people can see what is being talked about.
Based on the picture alone, I would not be sure what is happening. The book is ornate and could be something other than the Quran. From the looks of it, it could be a book of the gospels.
However, the former Chaldean patriarch–Raphael Bidawid–was present at the meeting where the event occurred, and in an interview with the press service FIDES, he said the following:
On May 14th I was received by the Pope, together with a delegation composed of the Shi’ite imam of Khadum mosque and the Sunni president of the council of administration of the Iraqi Islamic Bank. There was also a representative of the Iraqi ministry of religion. I renewed our invitation to the Pope, because his visit would be for us a grace from heaven. It would confirm the faith of Christians and prove the Pope’s love for the whole of humanity in a country which is mainly Muslim.
At the end of the audience the Pope bowed to the Muslim holy book, the Qu’ran, presented to him by the delegation, and he kissed it as a sign of respect. The photo of that gesture has been shown repeatedly on Iraqi television and it demonstrates that the Pope is not only aware of the suffering of the Iraqi people, he has also great respect for Islam [SOURCE].
What, then, is one to make of the event?
It seems that there are a number of possibilities:
1) The FIDES news agency misquoted the patriarch.
2) Patriarch Bidawid was mistaken about what happened. It was not the Quran but something else.
3) John Paul II kissed the Quran but didn’t know the nature of the book he was kissing.
4) John Paul II kissed the Quran and knew that this is what he was doing.
I would love to think that either option (1), (2), or (3) was the case, but I have no evidence that any of them was the case.
The most likely one of the three, to my mind, would be (3), because so far as I know, John Paul II was not an Arabic speaker and may not have understood the nature of the book that he was being presented with.
People shove all kinds of books into the pope’s hands at audiences, and if the pope was under the impression that the thing to do with a gift in Iraqi culture is to kiss it as a sign of respect to the one who gives the gift then he might have kissed it reflexively, not even understanding the nature of the book.
While this is possible, I think it likely that an interpreter explained the nature of the gift that was being given on this occasion. This still leaves the possibility that the pope kissed it as part of Middle Eastern politeness rather than as a gesture of respect for the book itself.
I have heard claims that in some Middle Eastern cultures that this is a typical gesture of respect for one giving a gift, but I have asked Chaldean friends of mine whether this is the case in Iraqi culture and the answer was a definite "No." "The pope put his foot on the neck of all Chaldeans with this action" was the response I was given. (Just to make things clear, putting your foot on the neck of someone is a bad thing in Iraqi culture.)
Still, the pope may have been under the mistaken impression that this was the appropriate thing to do when receiving a gift in their culture. He can’t be an expert on every culture in the world, and he could get this wrong.
Or maybe he didn’t.
Maybe he knew it was the Quran and kissed it anyway, not as a customary gift giving response, but for some other reason.
What might that reason be?
It certainly wouldn’t be that he believes in Islam or believes that Islam is on a par with Christianity. If he believed either of these two things then he (a) wouldn’t be the earthly head of the Christian faith and (b) wouldn’t have approved the publication of Dominus Iesus, which asserts the salvific universality of Jesus Christ and the Church.
Any attempt to represent him as thinking one of those things doesn’t even get out of the gate.
So what might he have been thinking?
We’re only speculating here, but two things spring to mind as what JP2 might have been thinking:
1) The Quran does contain some elements of truth (as well as grave elements of falsehood) and he might have wanted to honor the elements of truth it contains.
2) Showing respect in this way could foster world peace and interreligious harmony.
Of these two, I would conjecture that the latter would have been uppermost in John Paul II’s mind, though the former may not have been absent.
John Paul II was a man who was enormously concerned with world peace and interreligious harmony. As a young man he lived through the horrors of World War II, which had a permanent effect on him and his generation and their views about war and peace.
As a mature man he lived through the Cold War that repeatedly brought the world to the brink of nuclear disaster, and this also had a permanent effect on him and his generation and their views about war and peace. The constant threat of nuclear warfare hung particularly heavily over Europe–which would have been the chief battleground in a conflict between the Soviet Union and the West–and (particularly on the heels of WWII) it deeply impressed the "find peace at any cost" message on his generation.
As a result of the Cold War, the nations of western Europe were forced into an alliance (NATO) whereby their centuries-long enmities (as between France and Germany) had to be suppressed for the sake of common survival. Negotiation became the key to survival in western Europe, and the same message was driven home to those in Eastern bloc countries, such as John Paul II’s native Poland.
By letting the US shoulder the main burden for the military defense of Europe (during and after the Cold War), many Europeans of John Paul II’s generation absorbed the idea that negotiation was paramount and could solve virtually any problem. It wasn’t until the events of the Global War On Terror that this idea began to be seriously called into question many in European circles.
As a result, as a man of his generation, John Paul II–for the best of motives–may have overestimated both the need for and the utility of gestures such as the one exhibited in the Quran-kissing event.
If the former pontiff did understand that the gift was a Quran and if he wasn’t under the impression that kissing a gift was a standard response in Iraqi culture then I would suppose that he did so out of a desire to foster peace and interreligious harmony, but it would still have been a mistake to my mind.
The Quran, whatever elements of truth it contains, also contains venomous attacks on the divinity of Christ and on Christian doctrine and these make it inappropriate for the Vicar of Christ to kiss it under any circumstances.
John Paul II also may not have been attending to the gravity of the false elements in the Quran. Even if he knew them, he may not have been thinking about them and may have acted on the spur of the moment, without fully thinking through his action.
Fortunately, the infallibility of the pope and the indefectibility of the Church do not extend to such actions. A pope is not attempting to make anything remotely like a dogmatic definition in an act of this nature. And so, however misguided the action may have been and however good the motives for it may have been, it would constitute an error that does not touch upon papal infallibility or ecclesial indefectibility.
It would be one of the mistakes that all fallen humans are heir to, even the vicars of Christ.

Al-Qaeda spies in government primarily refer to rare, high-stakes double agents or cases where individuals with terrorist ties were monitored by, or infiltrated, western intelligence agencies. Key cases include Aimen Dean, a top MI6 spy inside Al-Qaeda, and Humam Khalil al-Balawi, a Jordanian doctor turned triple agent who bombed a CIA base.
PBS
Key information regarding Al-Qaeda spies and infiltration:
Aimen Dean: A Saudi-born jihadi who became an MI6 agent after training in Afghanistan, providing crucial intelligence on al-Qaeda from 1998 to 2006 PBS,.
Humam Khalil al-Balawi: A triple agent who posed as a trusted informant for Jordanian and CIA intelligence, resulting in a 2009 suicide bombing in Afghanistan.
Guantanamo Infiltrators: The CIA turned a small number of Guantánamo Bay prisoners into double agents between 2002 and 2006 to help dismantle Al-Qaeda networks, according to reports in The Guardian.
9/11 Connections: Investigations revealed potential connections between Saudi officials and individuals associated with the 9/11 hijackers, though the extent of direct infiltration in Western government remains a subject of investigation, notes Motley Rice.
PBS
These cases highlight a complex, secretive, and often dangerous "shadow war" of human intelligence, where individuals switch allegiances between, or act as conduits for, both terrorist groups and government agencies.

Timeline: The September 11 terrorist attacks
The day that defined the beginning of the 21st Century for Americans
By Katherine Huiskes

On September 11, 2001, 2,977 people were killed in the deadliest terrorist attacks in American history.
The World Trade Center in March, 2001 Wikimedia Commons
The moment shocked the nation. Two planes, hijacked by Islamic jihadists vowing death to all Americans, plowed into both towers at the World Trade Center in New York. Another plane was flown into the Pentagon in Washington, DC. A fourth plane, presumably headed for the White House or the U.S. Capitol, was heroically diverted by passengers and ended up crashing in an empty field in Pennsylvania. After reports of the first plane hitting the North Tower, millions watched the second plane hit the South Tower on live television.
It was a terrifying, startling, and humbling event for the country. The 9/11 attacks were the deadliest on American soil since the shock attack at Pearl Harbor 60 years before, and the sense of outrage was reminiscent of that moment. The attacks in New York occurred in the country’s busiest city on a busy workday. And the staggered nature of the attacks meant that news footage captured almost everything as it happened, ensuring that millions of Americans saw the events precisely as they unfolded.

Background
Although to many Americans 9/11 seemed like a random act of terror, the roots of the event had been developing for years. A combination of factors that coalesced in the late 1990s led the catastrophic event. These factors included regional conditions in the Middle East that motivated the perpetrators, as well as intelligence lapses and failures that left the United States vulnerable.
Osama bin Laden in November, 2001 Wikimedia Commons
Osama Bin Laden was relatively unknown in the United States before 9/11, even as he was amassing popularity, followers, and fame in the Middle East during the 1990s. In 1988, he was one of the founders of al Qaeda, a militant Islamic terrorist organization that organized and carried out the 9/11 attacks. Bin Laden called for indiscriminate killing of all Americans who, he claimed, were “the worst thieves in the world today” (9/11 Report, page 47). It was the perfect historical moment for that rallying cry.
Throughout the 20th century, a wave of secular, nationalist revolutions swept through the Middle East, taking root in Egypt, Libya, Iraq, Yemen, and other countries. While these movements were awash in promising ideology, the new regimes quickly became autocratic and suppressed dissent. Their critics turned to violent revolution to express their dissatisfaction with the secular governments.
At the same time, social malaise, especially among young men who were struggling to find decent jobs and start their own families in corrupt oil states, provided easy targets for radicalization. Bin Laden’s message that America was the “head of the snake” and the root of all society’s problems resonated well with the discontent.
By the mid-1990s, Bin Laden was the head of al Qaeda, a multifaceted and highly developed terrorist network carrying out attack after attack on Americans in the Middle East. It was a new type of terrorism to which the US intelligence agencies struggled to adapt. Much of the intelligence community had not even imaged the specific type of hijacking and terrorism carried out on 9/11. They were preparing for threats such as the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and bombing in 2000 of the USS Cole.
Aftermath of the 1993 WTC Bombing Wikimedia Commons
Much of the intelligence community’s focus was on reactive law enforcement activity rather than proactive countering of terrorism. A telling quote from the 9/11 commission report focuses on the lack of a proactive response: “The process was meant, by its nature, to mark for the public as the events finished – case solved, justice done. It was not designed to ask if the events might be harbingers of worse to come. Nor did it allow for aggregating and analyzing facts to see if they could provide clues to terrorist tactics more generally – methods of entry and finance, and mode of operation inside the United States” (Commission Report, p. 73).
Bin Laden had amassed substantial power due to conditions in the Middle East as well as his charismatic leadership, and the US intelligence community was underprepared for a 9/11 style attack. In the aftermath of 9/11, these two factors continued to affect US policy in the Middle East, particularly in Iraq.
Aftermath
The immediate response to 9/11 was the George W. Bush administration’s War on Terror, which began in Afghanistan as a retaliation against al Qaeda for carrying out the attack. The Bush administration soon expanded the War on Terror into Iraq, and the consequences of these wars continue to affect the Middle East to this day. Almost 20 years later, the United States is still at war in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
American Soldiers in Iraq, 2005 Wikimedia Commons
There were domestic long-term effects of 9/11 as well. Thousands of people struggle with cancer and lasting chronic health problems relating to the toxicity from Ground Zero, the site where the Twin Towers used to stand. The September 11 attacks also changed American air travel as airlines began to require stringent security checks designed to prevent the types of weapons the hijackers used from slipping through.
Finally, the 9/11 attacks resulted in changes to the federal government and an expansion of executive power. A new cabinet department, the Department of Homeland Security, was created, and the intelligence community was consolidated under the Director of National Intelligence to improve coordination between various agencies and departments. New legislation such as the USA Patriot Act expanded domestic security and surveillance, disrupted terrorist funding by cracking down on activities such as money laundering, and increased efficiency within the U.S. intelligence community.
The tragedy of September 11, 2001 will never be forgotten, and the aftermath is still continuing to unfold. The 9/11 Memorial and Museum opened on the site of the former World Trade Center on September 11, 2011, and features reflecting pools in the footprints of where the Twin Towers once stood.

Adam Miller. Photo courtesy of LCSO.
Adam Elijah Miller, who is charged with killing his father and attempting to kill his mother, will appear in Canal Justice Court in Fernley on March 5-6 for a preliminary hearing before Judge Lori Matheus.
A preliminary hearing is a court proceeding used to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to proceed with a criminal case. Judge Matheus will decide whether probable cause exists to believe a crime was committed and that the defendant likely committed it. The prosecution presents basic evidence and may call witnesses, and the defense can cross-examine them, but it is not a full trial. If the judge finds probable cause, the case proceeds; if not, the charges may be dismissed.
Miller, who was 19 at the time of his arrest, led law enforcement on a 30-hour manhunt after he allegedly stabbed his parents. He is charged with Open Murder with the Use of a Deadly Weapon, a Category A Felony, which is punishable by the death penalty, life in prison, 20 years to life, or 50 years in prison with parole eligibility after 20 years.
Count I of the criminal complaint filed by the Lyon County District Attorney’s Office alleges that on or about December 18, 2024, in Fernley, Adam Miller used a knife to stab Lance Miller in the neck, inflicting mortal injuries. Count II alleges that he stabbed Elizabeth Miller, 61, in the neck. Count III also relates to the alleged stabbing of Elizabeth Miller and charges Adam Miller with Battery with a Deadly Weapon Causing Substantial Bodily Harm to a Victim 60 Years of Age or Older, which is punishable by 2-15 years.
A separate case charges Adam Miller with Carrying a Concealed Pistol, Revolver, Firearm, or other Deadly Weapon, a Category C Felony punishable by 1-5 years, and alleges he was in possession of a .380 handgun on Nov. 21, 2024.
After an evaluation by two doctors, Adam Miller was deemed competent to stand trial. Should probable cause be determined during the March preliminary hearing, the case will be bound over to the Third Judicial District Court for Lyon County in Yerington.
Miller has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.

As per numerology, 666 when added comes to 9, a tricky number that stands for greediness, and natural disasters. But 9 (6+6+6+18=1+8=9) is also the number of Mars (Mangal) which means extra energy which can either make or break. It is impulsive, restless, stubborn and inflexible,' adds Jumaani.

Strategic Corruption
A Useful Concept or a Catch-All?
by Tena Prelec
Published on: August 29th, 2025
Read time: 6 mins
In recent years, the term ‘strategic corruption’ has gained traction across policy, academic, and advocacy circles. Coined to describe the use of corrupt practices as deliberate instruments of foreign policy, the concept has come into focus particularly since the escalation of geopolitical rivalries following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Yet even as its usage has expanded, its precise meaning remains contested.
An expert workshop supported by the Independent Social Research Foundation (ISRF) and the University of Rijeka brought together scholars and practitioners to probe the concept’s boundaries, practical applications, and analytical utility. The discussions were rich, critical, and ultimately inconclusive—revealing just how much definitional and conceptual work remained to be done.
This blog post shares key insights from that workshop and draws on recent research, including my co-authored article with David Lewis in a special issue of Public Integrity (2025), to move toward a more grounded and precise understanding of what strategic corruption is—and what it is not.
What’s at Stake: Definitional Drift and Conceptual Uncertainty
The origin of the term ‘strategic corruption’ is closely linked to the securitisation of anti-corruption policy. An influential 2020 essay by Zelikow et al., ‘The Rise of Strategic Corruption: How States Weaponize Graft’, cast the practice as an intentional tool of authoritarian foreign policy. This framing, embraced by the Biden administration, elevated transnational corruption to a national security priority in the United States.
Yet this shift, while welcome in some operational respects, came with conceptual costs. ‘Strategic corruption’ became a catch-all label, applied not only to the use of bribery and illicit finance, but also to cybercrime, disinformation, opaque investment, and elite capture. Often, these disparate activities were bundled together without clearly establishing the linkages—or the corruption. As one workshop participant put it, this risks turning the term into an empty vessel: rhetorically powerful but analytically slippery.
The Cres workshop discussions highlighted several ambiguities that need to be addressed for the concept to retain value. First, what is really new about strategic corruption? Is it the novelty of tactic—or their combination? Or is it the geopolitical context in which they are deployed?
Second, does the term sufficiently clarify the actors and mechanisms involved? Several participants questioned whether the concept overstates the coherence of state strategies and underplays the role of private networks, commercial actors, and hybrid entities. If everything from state-owned banks to cyber operations counts as strategic corruption, where do we draw the line?
Third, how useful is the dichotomy between authoritarian and democratic systems in this debate? Some argued that it is central, pointing to how authoritarian regimes leverage corruption abroad to weaken democracies. Others noted that democracies, too, engage in or enable corrupt practices abroad, and that the ‘democracy vs. autocracy’ framing may obscure more than it reveals. This remark has now been made more poignant by the current 180-degree reversal on anti-corruption policy by the Trump administration.
These tensions are also reflected in the growing academic literature on the topic. In their recent article in Public Integrity, Pozsgai-Alvarez and Lang (2025) outline four main strands of how the concept is used: strategy-oriented (focused on intentionality and state agency), tool-oriented (emphasising the corrupt instruments), effect-oriented (outcomes such as institutional destabilisation), and structure-oriented (underlying geopolitical or systemic drivers). Yet even these categories sometimes overlap or conflict.
What Strategic Corruption Is
In our own Public Integrity article, David Lewis and I argue that what is often referred to as strategic corruption is better understood as a subtype of networked corruption, that is, corruption embedded in transnational networks, involving both state and non-state actors, and reliant on a combination of legal and illegal tools. Not all networked corruption is strategic, however. The distinguishing feature is intent.
Strategic corruption, in this framing, refers specifically to the intentional use of cross-border corrupt practices by state actors, or non-state actors working on their behalf, to advance geopolitical objectives. The first point is the already-mentioned intent: actions may be diffuse, indirect, or outsourced to intermediaries, but they are not accidental or incidental. Rather, they are part of a broader political strategy. Second, strategic corruption tends to involve some degree of state involvement or direction. While private actors may play key roles, the activities are typically aligned with, or facilitated by, state institutions or foreign policy aims. This distinguishes it from purely profit-driven corruption. Third, strategic corruption is defined by its targeted function: it seeks to weaken democratic institutions, undermine governance frameworks, or realign a state’s international orientation or assert hegemony. This may involve manipulating electoral systems, co-opting elites, using military and security assets, or fostering dependency through illicit financial ties. The point is not merely to extract value, but to reshape political outcomes in the target country. An important caveat is that while such practices are often illegal, they may also take forms that are formally legal yet illicit in intent and effect.
What Strategic Corruption Is Not
Strategic corruption is not simply large-scale or international in scope. It is not the same as kleptocracy, though the two may overlap. It is not driven solely by economic gain, nor is it the result of uncoordinated, opportunistic behaviour. Without evidence of deliberate political intent and state alignment, the use of corrupt practices—even if consequential—should not automatically be classified as strategic corruption.
Why Definitional Precision Matters
A clearer, narrower definition of strategic corruption is vital for both research and policy. Without it, the term risks becoming a catch-all for malign foreign influence, used to justify reactive or securitised anti-corruption responses. It may also obscure the role played by domestic actors and Western enablers in facilitating corrupt flows. At its worst, it can end up being little more than a phrase used in propaganda, or it could even be used to paint political enemies as traitors without evidence to back up accusations.
By focusing on intent, state involvement, and political targeting, we can distinguish strategic corruption from adjacent concepts and build a typology that allows for more robust analysis and potential evidencing. This will be particularly useful to any actors wishing to develop better, more effective responses to the threat.
This clarity also opens the door to comparative research: How do different states deploy strategic corruption? What tools do they favour, and under what conditions does it work? The Cres workshop showed that we are only at the beginning of understanding this phenomenon. Pinning down its meaning allows us to move past slogans and start asking harder questions about evidence, mechanisms, and impact. The discussion is far from over, but this post is a step toward sharpening the concept—and an invitation to others to carry it forward.

Pope, Rye Declare Driver’s Guilt in Murder of Naomi Irion
When Troy Driver committed suicide in the Lyon County jail on Aug. 6, he deprived the family of Naomi Irion of the opportunity to hear a jury pronounce him guilty of kidnapping, sexually assaulting, and murdering her.

Troy Driver, Who Allegedly Kidnapped and Murdered Naomi Irion Last Month, was Denied Bail Today in a Nevada Courtroom
Troy Driver, 41, was rearraigned today in a Nevada courtroom, charged with murdering Naomi Irion, 18. Driver was arraigned late last month, accused of kidnapping Naomi from the Walmart parking lot in Fernley on 12 March around 5:30 am. Her body was found 17 days later, 150 miles away in Churchill County, home to Driver for many years. He met with his defence attorney for one hour yesterday, Richard Davies. Lead attorney Davies, who reportedly specialises in criminal defence, did not object when Driver was denied bail. He says his client is innocent, revealing that the defence will conduct its own investigation into the matter. Driver was originally represented by public defender Mario Walther; both he and Davies will work on Driver's defence.
Driver stands accused of murder with the use of a deadly weapon, and felony charges of kidnapping, robbery, burglary and destruction of evidence. An amended complaint filed Tuesday alleges that Driver kidnapped Naomi specifically "for the purpose of committing sexual assault, extortion, or robbery upon or from the person of killing the person or inflicting substantial bodily harm."
Driver is presumed innocent until proven guilty under the law. He has a violent criminal past, committing several felonies as a teenager in his home state of California, all involving firearms. A burglar in his mid-teens, Driver stole firearms. He held up a convenience store and petrol stations at gunpoint. (As it so happens, Naomi was shot in the head and chest.) And Driver, aged 17, was an accessory both before and after the fact in the murder of methamphetamine dealer Paul Rodriguez in 1997. Pleading guilty to accessory after the fact and the other charges (burglary and armed robbery), he served 15 years in state prison before moving to Nevada in 2012, working steadily for construction companies in a supervisory capacity, most recently for Ledcor. (This is a developing story and I will update.)
https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrimeDiscussion/comments/tzcaa1/troy_driver_who_allegedly_kidnapped_and_murdered/
On August 6, 2023, Driver was found dead in his cell when prison personnel arrived for a routine inmate check.[13] His death was ruled a suicide by asphyxiation.[13][14] While he was never convicted, officials said the evidence against him was overwhelming. Forensic evidence, including his DNA, were found on Irion's body. Driver also left a note in which he apologized for the "darkness within" himself.[15]

Dear Mr. Dunn:
On behalf of the Court, I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for your service as a juror in State of Nevada v. Ryan Joe Coddington. Your conscientious consideration of the challenging and sensitive issues presented to you in this case proves that our Constitutional system of trial by our peers works to ensure fair and unbiased decisions are handed out of our courts.
Abraham Lincoln once said that "A jury is the common sense of a common people." The only way we have justice is through the judicial system in the United States. Justice really means fairness. It means that if you're charged with a crime, you can appear in front of a jury of your peers who will judge the facts fairly as a citizen of this State. A jury of your peers means a mix of people from all walks of life using their common sense to do justice. It is one of the most important civic responsibilities of being a United States Citizen.
I appreciate the fact that you responded to your summons as a juror willing to do your job. Our judicial system only works because citizens like you are interested, concerned and willing to make whatever arrangements are necessary in their personal lives to be able to perform this invaluable service. Your presence on the jury was a great asset in this case.
Once again, I would like to thank you on behalf of the Court and the people of Lyon County for your willingness to serve as a juror and to give so freely of your time and abilities. I admire you for your commitment to this case.
With great respect,
Honorable John P. Schlegelmilch District Court Judge

AI Overview
The name "Brock" has dual origins: it's an English/Germanic name meaning "badger" (from Old English broc), often a nickname for someone tenacious, or a variant of "Brook," meaning a small stream, given to those living near water.
Generative AI is experimental.
Trustee Brookings Institution from 1922 on, until at least 1929.
Founding or very early director of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) from at least 1922, together with the Morgan and Rockefeller interests.
The Warburg-Schiff connection to the Bolsheviks also extended from Germany to the United States. When Lenin's Bolshevik ally Leon Trotsky arrived in New York City in January 1917, a certain Arthur Concors, the superintendent and director of the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), waited for him on the pier. As Trotsky spoke no English, Concors did the talking for him, promoting him to the New York Times and New York Herald Tribune as a persecuted "peace advocate", who, during these World War I years had been booted out of Czarist Russia, France and Spain for being "a follower of Karl Marx" and for making the case that Russia should withdraw from World War I, which was fighting on the side of Great Britain, France and Italy. Earlier, at the start of the war, Trotsky also had been booted out of the Kaiser's Germany for being a Marxist journalist.
After introducing Trotsky to the media at the pier, Arthur Concors took Trotsky to the "Astor Hotel [on] 42nd Street". 73 residing in New York City, Trotsky preferred to portray himself as a "fighter for the Revolutionary International", this to New York City's newspaper Novy Mir, edited by his close friend, Nikolai Bukharin. To the New Yorker Volkszeitung Trotsky soon afterwards said:
"Honestly, this [expulsion from Europe of mine] isn't surprising in light of the fierce opposition we posed to the 'socialist' and the 'capitalist' war warmongers."
1911, HIAS: 1917 Trotsky mentor Arthur Concors and Jacob Schiff.
Trotsky protector Arthur Concors' position as superintendent and director of the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) is interesting, because the biggest financier of HAIS in this period was none other than Jacob Schiff, whom we just discussed. Schiff's son-in-law, Felix Warburg, and his brother Paul Warburg, all worked at Kuhn, Loeb & Co., with their brother Max Warburg advising Kaiser Wilhelm II and helping to bring Lenin into Russia to overthrow the Czars. So that's quite the coincidence. In fact, Jacob Schiff wasn't just a key financier of the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS). He sat on the advisory board. An advisory board for 1917 couldn't be found by this author, but one from 1911 showed the following names:
Jacob Schiff: Pilgrims Society with in-laws Paul and Felix Warburg, the Morgans and Andrew Carnegie.
Louis Marshall: Close fried of Jacob Schiff and attorney for Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
Isaac Seligman: Married to Guta Loeb, daughter of banker Solomon Loeb, a co-founder of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Also at the New York Foundation with Schiff and the Warburgs. Also a member of the Japan Society, where Schiff was a director.
Dr. Morris Loeb: Son of Solomon Loeb. A chemist, who died in 1912.
Cyrus Leo Sulzberger I: From the family that founded the New York Stock Exchange and became publishers of the New York Times. His son was a New York Times journalist internally referred to as a "known asset" by the CIA. Also on the American Jewish Committee with Schiff and Straus and Mayer.
Mayer Sulzberger: Close advisor to Jacob Schiff.
Oscar Straus: First Jewish cabinet member under President Teddy Roosevelt. Close advisor to Jacob Schiff. 74
ALSO: Paul and Felix Warburg: At least some involvement in HIAS through meetings in the 1910s and 1920s. Seemingly listed as Life Members anno 1913. 75 From 1914 Felix was the founding chair of the Joint Distribution Committee, with key seed funding coming from his father-in-law, Jacob Schiff.

Biblical Insights, Geographical Parables #6: The Brook Kidron, A Portrait of Hell
7 Votes
The Brook Kidron runs south along the eastern edge of Jerusalem all the way down to the Dead Sea
Introduction
The Brook Kidron is a relatively insignificant geographical feature that runs south between the eastern wall of Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives and begins near the Garden of Gethsemane. While topographically it does not appear to be very significant, it nonetheless has great Biblical significance as this study will show. The Brook Kidron is another example of a Geographical Parable that God provides in the Bible. A Geographical Parable is a real “earthly” physical place, which serves to represent a real “spiritual” place and convey a “spiritual” meaning.
The Brook Kidron is mentioned several times in the Bible, but, in each case, it provides us with a consistent theme. The theme is that the Brook Kidron is used by God in the Bible as a “typological” of “allegorical” reference to “Hell”. Can this claim be documented and proven? Indeed it can!
Taking a Closer Look… at the Kidron Brook (Valley)
The Setting of the Brook (נַחַל (naḥal))H5158 Kidron (קִדְרוֹן (qiḏrôn))H6939
The Brook Kidron is the name of a seasonal stream and valley, technically only now a wadi, as water runs through it only after heavy rains, although in Biblical times likely was also fed by springs, notably the Gihon spring (please see the above map). The brook’s course runs down along the eastern flank of Jerusalem beginning near the Garden of Gethsemane and flowing down through a valley of Kidron, with the Mount of Olives on the east, and ultimately continuing all the way into the “Dead Sea” (otherwise known as the “Salt Sea”).
Kidron Ominously Means “Darkness“
The name “Kidron” (“Cedron” in the Greek New Testament) in the original Hebrew is קִדְרוֹן (qiḏrôn)H6939 meaning “dark“, but not just any dark, it means “turbid”or “murky” and “very black” and “full of darkness“.
Kidron is derived from the root word, קָדַר (qāḏar)H6937 , which in the original Hebrew is most often translated as “mourn” and “black” as in “sackcloth.” So we should first take a closer look at the meaning and use of the root word for “Kidron” as we find in Ezekiel 32:7&8, where God is condemning Pharaoh and Egypt to hell within the context of the entire chapter we read, “And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make (קָדַר (qāḏar))H6937 ➔ the stars thereof dark (קָדַר (qāḏar)) H6937; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light. All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark (קָדַר (qāḏar))H6937 over thee, and set darkness (חֹשֶׁךְ (ḥōšeḵ))H2822 upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.“ What is particularly noteworthy here is that God uses two different words for “dark” and “darkness” together, as synonyms, to convey the same meaning.
We can also see this correlation when we look at the use of these two words when we compare Joel 2:10, “The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark (קָדַר (qāḏar)) H6937, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:” with Isaiah 13:10, “For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened (חָשַׁךְ (ḥāšaḵ))H2821 in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.“ The Hebrew word חָשַׁךְ (ḥāšaḵ))H2821 meaning “to be, or become, dark” or “darkened” and is is the root word for חֹשֶׁךְ (ḥōšeḵ)H2822, meaning “darkness“.
We should therefore also note that the word חֹשֶׁךְ (ḥōšeḵ)H2822 is found in a total of 80 instances in the Bible in a consistently ominous way as this example in Job 17:13 shows, “If I wait, the grave (actually “Hell”) [is] mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness (חֹשֶׁךְ (ḥōšeḵ))H2822.“
It is also notable that while the “Brook Kidron” is not mentioned in the Book of Job explicitly, it is nonetheless implicitly mentioned in Job 6:15&17, where we can see another connection between the words “brook” and the same root word for “Kidron”, “My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook (נַחַל (naḥal))H5158, [and] as the stream of brooks (נַחַל (naḥal))H5158 they pass away; Which are blackish (קָדַר (qāḏar))H6937 by reason of the ice, [and] wherein the snow is hid:“
Jesus Compared Hell to “Outer Darkness”
These three verses, quoting Jesus, make a very clear connection between Kidron (“darkness”) and Hell:
Matthew 8:12, “But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Matthew 22:13, “Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast [him] into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.“
Matthew 25:30, “And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.“
Finally, the last reference in the Bible where the sun and the moon and the stars are described as being darkened can be found in Revelation 8:12, where we read, “And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.“ Clearly this is a case where judgment has come into view (and given the number one third it is likely coming upon the corporate church in the Final Tribulation).
Mentions of the Brook Kidron in the Bible
The Brook Kidron is mentioned directly only 11 times in the Bible, but is also alluded to at least two more times as we will see, but in each case there is an unequivocal association with sorrow, death, and judgment. The above ontology of the Hebrew words connected with “Kidron” are at least suggestive that the Brook Kidron might be a reference to Hell in the Bible.
King David “Passed Over the Brook Kidron“
The first direct reference to the Brook Kidron is found in 2 Samuel 15:23, where we read how King David fled Jerusalem with some faithful servants and his household during Absalom’s rebellion, “And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.” This is a prefigurement of Jesus, being pursued by His enemy (the devil, like David was pursued by Absalom) having to go through Hell to atone for sin on behalf of His own faithful servants and household.
This traumatic event was also accompanied shortly thereafter by a verbal cursing and “casting stones” assault by a man named Shimei (meaning “renowned“). According to 2 Samuel 16:5-24, Shimei was a Benjamite, the son of Gera (meaning “a grain“), of the village of Bahurim (meaning “young men’s village“), and perhaps most significantly, he was also a man of the family of the house of former king Saul. Later, when King David crossed the River Jordan on his way back to regain his throne in Jerusalem after Absalom died in battle, Shimei begged for, and was granted, King David’s forgiveness.
Before we move on the reader should be aware of the significance of Shimei casting stones at King David 2 Samuel 16:6-13, “And he cast stones at David,…” This happened after King David passed over the Brook Kidron with his faithful servants and it correlates well with Jesus going forth over the Brook Kidron (Cedron in Greek) to the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus went a “stone’s cast” from his disciples. Please see below under the heading of “A Stone’s Cast“.
The “Valley of the Shadow of Death“
Later, we read in 1 Kings 2:8&9, King David, when nearing his death, instructed Solomon, his son and heir, to ultimately bring Shimei into account such that Shimei would not live to a normal old age. Upon the death of King David, when Solomon ascended the throne of Israel, in 1 Kings 2:36-46, we see the Brook Kidron highlighted in a crucial role involving the ultimate fate of Shimei in fulfillment of King David’s instruction. King Solomon warned Shimei that if he wanted to remain alive, then Shimei had to remain confined within Jerusalem and to never pass over the Brook Kidron, otherwise, according to 1 Kings 2:37, King Solomon told Shimei, “For it shall be, [that] on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.“
Although Shimei promised King Solomon that he would remain in Jerusalem, we read next in 1 Kings 2:39, “¶And it came to pass at the end of three years,…“, that, in an effort to retrieve two of his servants who had run away to Gath (which is west of Jerusalem in what was then Philistine, while the Brook Kidron is east), Shimei left his Jerusalem confinement in violation of his word to Solomon (which in all likelihood involved his having crossed over the Brook Kidron). When Shimei’s movement was made known to Solomon, Shimei was put to death in 1 Kings 2:46.
The Brook Kidron Is a Place for Destroyed and Burned Idols and Altars
King Asa and the Brook Kidron
In the Book of 1 Kings, we learn how Asa, King of Judah of the line of King David, removed idols and in particular he dethroned his own mother, and destroyed her idol and burned it by the Brook Kidron. We see this in 1 Kings 15:11-13, “And Asa did [that which was] right in the eyes of the LORD, as [did] David his father. And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from [being] queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.” This information is repeated in 2 Chronicles 15:16, “And also [concerning] Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from [being] queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped [it], and burnt [it] at the brook Kidron.“
King Josiah and the Brook Kidron
In 2 Kings 23:1-3, we read where King Josiah gathered all the people of Judah and Jerusalem to hear the Words of God and to renew their commitment to obeying God, “¶And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem. And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD. And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all [their] heart and all [their] soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.“
Immediately thereafter we see that King Josiah orders the destruction of all idolatry related articles to be burned at the Brook Kidron and the ashes scattered over graves in the valley of the Brook Kidron.
In 2 Kings 23:4-6, “And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Bethel. And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven. And he brought out the grove from the house of the LORD, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped [it] small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the children of the people.“ So we can also deduce that, in the time of Josiah, the Valley of Kidron served as a cemetery.
King Josiah took similar action with the altars to false gods in 2 Kings 23:12, “And the altars that [were] on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the king beat down, and brake [them] down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.
King Hezekiah and the Brook Kidron
King Hezekiah also ordered the Levites to cleanse the temple of idolatrous materials and carry them to the Brook Kidron as we read in 2 Chronicles 29:16, “And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse [it], and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took [it], to carry [it] out abroad into the brook Kidron.” And then again, we read in 2 Chronicles 30:13&14, that also under King Hezekiah…”¶And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation. And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast [them] into the brook Kidron.“
The last Old Testament direct reference to the Brook Kidron is in Jeremiah 31:40, “And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, [shall be] holy unto the LORD; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.” The context seems suggest that once Judgment Day comes and there is the New Jerusalem created, then the place representing by the Brook Kidron and its contents will remain for ever and be considered holy by God. Judgment Day, with the torment in Hell that will follow forever, God likens to a “sacrifice” as indicated by Isaiah 34:6, Jeremiah 46:10, Ezekiel 39:17, Zephaniah 1:7&8 and Revelation 14:11.
Indirect References to the Brook Kidron (Both Nehemiah and Jesus went by there)
There are two other instances that the Brook Kidron is mentioned in the Bible, but those are indirect. It is mentioned one time as the “valley” and the other time as the “brook”, as is translated in English from the original Hebrew word, נַחַל (naḥal)H5158. In 2 Chronicles 33:14, we read “¶Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley H5158, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah.” The geographical context (the Gihon spring is in the Kidron valley) indicates it can only be referring to the Brook Kidron. Then in Nehemiah 2:15, “Then went I up in the night by the brookH5158, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and so returned.“ Again, when we look at the setting and geographical context, it is also clear that the “brook” can only be referring to the Brook Kidron.
Nehemiah and the Brook Kidron
The second time where the Brook Kidron is mentioned indirectly, as described above, is of particular interest, because it has to do with Nehemiah and his three days and three nights sojourn outside the walls of Jerusalem that we read about in Nehemiah chapter 2. The significance and spiritual implications are profound, because Nehemiah’s activities, as are described in Chapter 2, clearly point to the Person and Work of the Lord Jesus Christ (and which are more fully explained in this other post on Nehemiah, Chapter 2).
Jesus and the Brook Kidron (on His way to the Garden of Gethsemane)
Jesus must have crossed the Valley of Kidron many times in His travels, but only one time is such a crossing specifically mentioned in the Bible. We should all be aware that the Garden of Gethsemane is just east of Jerusalem at the base of the Mount of Olives by the uppermost part of the valley of the Brook Kidron (see map above), and this is where Jesus’ Atonement began on Passover evening/night as we read in John 18:1, ”When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron (“Cedron” is Kidron in Greek), where was a garden (Gethsemane), into the which he entered, and his disciples.”
The account of Jesus suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane can be also be found in three other places in the Bible, in Matthew 26:36–46, Mark 14:32–42, Luke 22:39–46. From those three descriptions, we learn that Jesus was in the Garden with the disciples, then Jesus told them to remain, while He went further with Peter, James, and John, and then, alone, a bit farther.
In the Garden of Gethsemane, after Jesus had separated Himself from His disciples “about a stone’s cast” as we read in Luke 22:41 “¶And he (Jesus) was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,“) and Jesus prayed three times (Matthew 26:44 and e.g., Luke 22:42, “Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.”) The “cup” was the cup of God’s wrath that Jesus had to take in penalty for the sins of God’s elect. Remember also shortly afterward where Jesus reprimanded Peter for trying to protect Him in John 18:11, “Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?” Moreover we know that the Garden was where the agony of the Atonement had begun because we read in Luke 22:44, “And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.”
A Stone’s Cast?
The significance of Luke 22:41 should not be missed by the reader. “And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,” The language of “a stone’s cast” is extremely important because the casting of stones has great significance in the Bible. It is used to condemn someone to death in the Bible.
The reality is that Jesus was condemned to death on the behalf of all those who would believe on Him as their Lord God and Savior. Any sin is sufficient to justify death by stoning, not just blasphemy against God, or murder. Remember that in Numbers 15:32-36, we read of a man who gathered sticks on the Sabbath was subsequently taken outside of the camp and stoned to death by God’s command to Moses.
More significantly, there is another case that we should all be aware of regarding “stoning”. In Deuteronomy 21:18 we read, “If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and [that], when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; [he is] a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.¶ And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree: His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged [is] accursed of God), that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance.”
We should all remember that Jesus was accused, falsely, of being a glutton and a drunkard in Luke 7:34, “The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!” And following Jesus’s Passion in the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus was spiritually deemed to have been worthy of stoning on behalf of the elect, Jesus hung on the cross on that same Passover day, and that cross, being hewn of wood, served as a “tree” as we read in Galatians 3:13 , “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree:” And Jesus’s body was buried before sun down that day in the Tomb of Joseph of Arimathaea as recorded in Matthew 27:57-60.
The mention of “a stone’s cast” was placed there by God to show that Jesus had at that point come under judgment for the sins of God’s elect. 2 Corinthians 5:21 makes clear that, “For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.“ and also 1 John 3:5, “And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.“
Jesus was subsequently tormented in every way until His death on the cross, that occurred just outside the walls of Jerusalem on Friday afternoon (the ninth hour, or 3:00 p.m.). Then Jesus’s body was buried in the tomb and remained there, Friday night (the second night) through Saturday (the sabbath day and the second day), through Saturday night until the resurrection early Sunday morning, which marked the third day.

Conclusion
Again, for review, Kidron (קִדְרוֹן (qiḏrôn)) H6939 means “Very Black, Full of Darkness”. Jesus describes Hell three times as “‘outer darkness'”: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Matthew 8:12, Mat 22:13, Matthew 25:30). And remember that king David, when was fleeing from Absalom and leaving Jerusalem, also crossed over the brook Kidron. Moreover, we also read of the people “weeping” in 2 Samuel 15:23, “And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.“
So then, Spiritually, the Brook Kidron has to be considered representative of the eternal fires of Hell, as the Brook Kidron is where all the refuse was dumped and continually burned from the ancient city of Jerusalem, and which notably empties into the “Dead” Sea. It is mentioned explicitly in eleven verses in the Bible (ten in the Old Testament and one in the New Testament), and in each and every time, in some form or another, the Brook Kidron serves as a picture of Hell. This is because the brook Kidron was where all the false idols were broken, stamped to powder, and then burned (e.g. 1Kings 15:13, 2 Kings 23:6, 2 Kings 23:12 and 2 Chronicles 15:16), and also to where the priests, the Levites, carried out all of the uncleannesses out of the Temple (2 Chronicles 29:16). The Kidron valley is also associated with “dead bodies” and “ashes”, as we read in Jeremiah 31:40 where God declared, “And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, [shall be] holy unto the LORD; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.”
It is also interesting how the Brook Kidron relates to Judgment Day, because 1) Jesus went there first for His people, but 2) second Jesus will come there again as the Judge of all the rest: Psalm 110:5-7, “The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill [the places] with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.“
The bottom line is that the Kidron valley, the valley of the Brook Kidron, is an abominable place where the dust and ashes of false idols belong and an indisputable allegorical picture of the darkness and awfulness of Hell. We can see that the two “Types” of the Lord Jesus Christ: King David and Nehemiah, each had to each pass over the Brook Kidron in difficult circumstances, and each in there own way pointed to Jesus’ Atoning Sacrifice that became reality on Passover evening in 33AD when Jesus went over the Brook Kidron to the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus’s suffering began. Jonah, another great “Type” of the Lord Jesus Christ, was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale foretelling the agony of Jesus who spent the equivalent of an eternity in Hell in the space of the same time span of three days and three nights(Thursday evening to Sunday morning), outside the gates of Jerusalem, and beginning in the Garden of Gethsemane. But the Good News is that we know that Jesus also arose from the dead, and that His resurrection proved that the full payment for the sins of His elect had been paid, and therefore Jesus (just as He was prefigured by both king David and Nehemiah) “returned“! Hallelujah!
Today’s Application: Are You Ready?
The Bible makes it clear that if God was willing to put His own Son through Hell to save a people for Himself, how much more would He be willing to send the wicked who reject Him to Hell for their sins (please see Romans 8:32). Jesus is the only Way of escape from the just penalty for our sins. All other ways that man can devise will lead only to Hell. Have you made peace with God through Jesus Christ? Please pray to God for mercy through Jesus Christ and He will show you mercy.

On the original Jewish calendar, the full moon marks the middle of the month (the 15th day) and signifies a time of joy, festivity, and divine abundance. It symbolizes completeness, the perfection of creation, and the fulfillment of God’s promises, acting as a peak moment for major biblical festivals and a reflection of Jewish history and renewal.
Key Aspects of the Full Moon in the Hebrew
Calendar:
Festival Timing: Major feasts, including Passover (Nisan 15) and Sukkot (Tishri 15), always occur on the full moon, marking periods of joy and freedom.
Symbolism of Abundance: The full moon is described as a "brimming cup" (keseh), symbolizing the fullness of Divine providence and a peak moment of blessings.
Divine Connection (Kabbalah): The full moon represents the union of the sun and moon (masculine and feminine faces of God), signaling a time when the Shekhinah (Divine Presence) is fully revealed.
Historical Symbolism: The waxing and waning of the moon represent the Jewish people—who, even after periods of darkness (exile/hardship), will be restored to full brightness.
"White" Moon (Levanah): In Jewish mysticism, the full moon is called levanah (white), representing a purified, holy state of royalty and the finalization of divine law.
The SDA denomination has turned sabbath keeping into a salvation issue. Do they doom themselves if they per chance are actually keeping the wrong day? Do they gamble their salvation on the correctness of the Popes Gregorian Calendar, believing Friday and Saturday are also the Creators Sabbath? Babylonian Talmudic Judaism and Messianic Christians also keep the Saturday Sabbath. Islam keeps their sabbath on the Gregorian Friday. The Popes claim to have changed the Sabbath to their Gregorian calendar Sunday, so the Roman Catholic Cult and all of her Ecumenical Daughters go along. Three counterfeit Sabbaths, all based on the Anti-Christ’s Gregorian Calendar only prove that Babylon and Rome are the epitome of smorgasbord religion. Freedom of choice, isn’t it wonderful!
There is a vestige of the Creators Calendar left in the modern day calendar. September, October, November, and December respectively mean 7th-month, 8th-month, 9th-month, &-10th month. Does this mean that the 11th and 12th month followed December (10th month)? According to the bible this is the fact. The Creators New Year begins in the spring!
What is a Moon-th: One complete cycle of the moon from which the word month is derived. The first day of each moon-th of the Creators Calendar is a New Moon Day. Sighting of the first sliver of the moon cycle signified the coming of the first work day of each new month. The Sabbaths are on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of each moonth. In a thirty day moonth the last day will be a New Moon Day followed by another New Moon Day, the first day of the following moonth. 7 of 19 years had a 13th moon cycle called “Second Adar“, this kept the Creators Calendar Seasonally Correct.

Many Jews historically changed their surnames to gentile, anglicized, or neutral last names to avoid antisemitism, assimilate into new countries, or comply with naming laws, particularly in the 19th and 20th centuries. Common trends included changing patronymics (e.g., Lifschits) to geographic or nature-based names (e.g., Leeds) or simplifying complex names for professional/social advancement.
The first member of the family who was known to use the name "Rothschild" was Isaak Elchanan Rothschild, born in 1577. The name is derived from the German zum rothen Schild (with the old spelling "th"), meaning "at the red shield", in reference to the house where the family lived for many generations (in those days, houses were designated not by numbers, but by signs displaying different symbols or colours). A red shield can still be seen at the centre of the Rothschild coat of arms. The family's ascent to international prominence began in 1744, with the birth of Mayer Amschel Rothschild in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. He was the son of Amschel Moses Rothschild (born circa 1710),[13] a money changer who had traded with the Prince of Hesse. Born in the "Judengasse", the ghetto of Frankfurt, Mayer developed a finance house and spread his empire by installing each of his five sons in the five main European financial centres to conduct business. The Rothschild coat of arms contains a clenched fist with five arrows symbolising the five dynasties established by the five sons of Mayer Rothschild, in a reference to Psalm 127: "Like arrows in the hands of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth." The family motto appears below the shield: Concordia, Integritas, Industria (Unity, Integrity, Industry).[14]

A scutum was typically red in color, as red was the color of the Roman god of war, Mars. It was decorated with an iconic image such as a winged eagle to represent victory and lightning bolts, the scuta (plural for scutum) provided essential protection and were a vital reason for the military successes of ancient Rome.

Approximately 34 to 35 craters on the Moon are named after Jesuit scientists and astronomers, largely due to the 1651 lunar mapping by Jesuit Giovanni Battista Riccioli, who created the basis for modern lunar nomenclature. These craters honor centuries of Jesuit contributions to astronomy, with prominent examples including Clavius, Riccioli, and Kircher.

Simon Magus Mystery Religion
Now, two years after the Church was founded... so the Church was founded on the day of Pentecost on 31 A.D. In 33 A.D., Simon the Magician started a new church. He tried to buy an apostleship of Peter and John. He of course was turned down and firmly rebuked by Peter. But he went out, and he had been baptized along with all of the others up at Samaria, and he was the religious head of the Babylonian Mystery Religion. And you'll find that in the eighth chapter of Acts if you can read everything that's there and understand it.
They looked on him, both small and great, as the voice of God. So he wanted to accept Christ, he wanted to accept grace, but he wanted to turn grace into license to disobey. In other words, he wanted to do away with law. He didn't want any of God's law, he didn't want the Ten Commandments, he didn't want the Spiritual law, he just didn't want law at all.
Now, that came along a little later, but the opposition to the Church, as it started out, was a Jewish opposition of Jews who wanted to... some of them were willing to accept Christ, although the overwhelming majority, of course, never would accept Christ, never did.
But of those who did, and came into the Church, there were those who were teaching Judaism, a takeover from the Judaism of the days after Ezra and Nehemiah, but also, by that time, what this Simon the Magician had started, who was the first Pope, by the way. And the Roman Catholic Church is merely the Babylonian Mystery Religion continued, but it took the name of Christ, appropriated it, and called itself falsely, Christian. It is not Christian, never was, never could be. But they had never believed in law at all. And so the Protestants never had believed in law. They just simply were against it.
As far as Simon Magus goes, even those now considered to be early supporters of the Roman Catholic Church condemned him. Yet, those who claim Christ really should look into whether or not they have adopted the non-biblical heresies that Simon Magus and his later followers adopted. Those wanting to learn more should also consider studying the articles at the The History of Early Christianity page.
We do not know how or when Simon Magus died (there are various legends). Some early reports indicate he was buried in Samaria or in Rome. Some suspect that burial was in Vatican hill.
Notice the following:
Elevating his personal teachings above the Bible, and preaching a "no-works" doctrine of salvation, Simon Magus soon had a universal, popular following. Deified by the Romans, he was buried on Vatican Hill. ...
The records regarding Simon's death vary widely. Many of the stories try to incorporate some fiction from the Greek and Egyptian myths to enhance the reader's interest in this fascinating character. But the earliest records say that he was buried in Rome after a long period of great honour and deification.
It is not clearly known where Simon Magus alias Simon Pater or Simon Jupiter was buried. But this much is known. The place of burial for ALL prophets and holy men of the Romans was in the sacred cemetery on Vatican Hill. This much is certain.
Notice what Werner Keller in his The Bible as History says about the so-called burial of the Catholics' Peter. (Before reading Keller's statement, let us remember that he is a thorough-going Catholic and firmly, himself, believed that the Apostle Peter was buried in Rome. However, the Bible shows nothing of the kind. Now, let's read Keller's comment — the official comment of the Roman Catholic Church):
"On the night of his death on the cross Peter's followers BURIED his body. As in the case of Jesus on the hill of Calvary it was wrapped in linen and secretly taken to a PAGAN BURIAL GROUND on the Via Cornelia, behind the stone structure of the arena. This PAGAN CEMETERY lay on a knoll called VATICANUS: the Latin word 'vatis' means a 'prophet' or 'SOOTHSAYER'. In days gone by there had been an Etruscan oracle on this spot" (p. 368).
What an admission!
Keller ought to have better sense to know that this Peter buried in this cemetery, of all places, could NOT be the Apostle Peter. In the first place, Peter was a Jew, and they had to be buried in their own cemeteries. And even if by a happen-chance a Jew could be buried in a Roman cemetery, it is most unlikely that a Jew — especially one who attacked the Roman religion as the Apostle Peter did — would ever have been allowed into the most holy of pagan cemeteries! This cemetery was reserved for prophets, soothsayers and the great ones of pagan Rome. (Martin E. SIMON MAGUS SERIES - Simonites Establish UNIVERSAL Church. Good News, August 1964)
When Vatican hill has been excavated, they have found pagan graves and one or more in costly apparel. Perhaps, one in costly apparel was Simon Magus.
Simon Magus, the Church of Rome, and Sunday
So, what about Simon Magus and the Church of Rome?
This is a little complicated, but basically I do NOT believe that the elders that are listed in the first century as bishops/popes that allegedly succeeded the Apostle Peter were followers of Simon Magus. What little actual evidence there is seems to suggest leaders such as Linus, Cletus, Clement, and Evaristus were probably actual Christians and were not appointed by Simon Magus to continue his work. That being said, the late Dr. Herman Hoeh had a different view in which the 'Peter' he mentions was supposed to be Simon Magus:
And the birthday of Nimrod — December 25 — was called the Saturnalia by the Romans.
Saturnia fell into decay. A new city, Rome, was later built on the same site — named after Romulus, according to Latin writers. But how is it that the Peter of Babylon came to be associated with the city named Rome? ...
Many people began to look for new leaders and a new headquarters. But they did not look to Christ, the head of the Church!
At this moment in history, the centuries-old tradition was revived and widely circulated that "Peter" had been in Rome. The heathen had never heard of the apostle Peter. But everyone at Rome had heard that there was a shrine of a Peter on Vatican hill and that that Peter or Nimrod had come from Babylon. Anacletus an elder or bishop in the apostate Church at Rome, dedicated the ancient shrine of the pagan Peter (or Nimrod) to the apostle Peter around 80 A.D., according to a record in the Liber Pontificalis (i, p. 125).
It was now an easy task for Anacletus to convince the drifting, unemployed pagan population of Rome — which was becoming interested in the mysteries — that the shrine at Rome was the site of burial of the apostle Peter — for had not the apostle Peter been at Babylon! And to cement his authority, he claimed to have been ordained by Peter.
Anacletus claimed to be the sole successor to Peter. He claimed that the two men who ruled in the Church before him were Peter and Linus. (See the Catholic list of bishops in any World Almanac.) Now it so happens that in ancient tradition, the son of Nimrod (the pagan Peter) was named Linus! (See Smith's Classical Dictionary.)
It ought to be plain by now that the pagan Babylonian Mystery had taken root in the local church at Rome. The bishop at Rome had the great advantage of being in the chief city of the Roman Empire.
The heathen did not mind Anacletus' use of the name of Christ so long as they could keep their old customs. Anacletus cleverly used the name of Peter — a name familiar to initiates in the pagan mysteries — to sanction these very customs, claiming that "Peter" approved those heathen abominations. The bishop of Rome never preached: "Learn NOT the way of the heathen"! Instead, he phrased it in practice: "Learn NOW the way of the heathen"! (Hoeh H. How ROME Counterfeited Gods Holy Days! Good News, April 1958)
The Liber Pontificalis, that Dr. Hoeh referred to, is now discredited. The Church of Rome no longer teaches that it tells the truth about the early men on their list of popes (though it allows its members to believe otherwise as a book I book in Vatican City proves). One of the reasons I do not believe Linus was a Babylonian is that since Irenaeus knew Polycarp and denounced several practices associated with Simon Magus, I do not believe that the Church of Rome Irenaeus encountered was as Babylonian as it later became or Irenaeus would not have been loyal to it while strongly denouncing Simon Magus and his followers. The bishops of Rome did not adopt their dress, etc. until AFTER they were associated with the 4th century Roman Emperor Constantine, which is also when they adopted December 25th. (Furthermore, Dr. Hoeh did not mention this Linus or Anacletus tie to Simon Magus in any of the later articles he wrote mentioning Simon Magus that I have been able to find--nor did others writing for the old Radio/Worldwide Church of God.) It should also be noted that Hegesippus, who warned against the Simonians was perhaps the earliest one to write a list that even named Linus (some claim the list in Epiphanius Hegesippus. The Panarion of Epiphanius of Salamis, Book I (Sects 1-46). Section 27, Verses 6:2-7. Translated by Frank Williams. EJ Brill, New York, 2009, pp. 113-114 Note: The Catholic Encyclopedia cites this as Haer., xxvii, 6) and Hegesippus would not have included Linus, etc. if he felt that they were Simonian.
The old Worldwide Church of God taught:
Easter came from pagan sun-worship, not from Jesus Christ or the apostles. It is one of those Babylonian customs brought to Samaria after Israel's overthrow (721-718 B.C.) by the colonists from Babylonia. Later it was transplanted to Rome by Simon Magus. Simon Magus, who was the "Great Interpreter" or "Peter" of the pagan mystery, palmed off Easter as if it were Christian. (Anon. Where is "Easter" mentioned in the Bible? Plain Truth, April 1964).
Easter did come from paganism (see Did Early Christians Celebrate Easter?). It is possible that Simon Magus brought it to Rome and wanted it on a Sunday. As far as Sunday goes, we know that the King of Assyria brought peoples from other areas, including Babylon, to Samaria (2 Kings 17:24). We also know that the Assyrians honored the sun god, as the following was on an ancient Assyrian tablet:
"And may the Sun, greatest of the gods, receive the saved soul into his holy hands!" (Bunson CCJB. Egypt's Place in Universal History. The London Quarterly Review, Volume XLIII, October 1874, p. 6)
But as many Samaritans claimed to be Jewish, those that did tended to observe Saturday and not Sunday--however we do not know for a fact what Simon Magus did originally, or if he changed by the time he got to Rome (Sunday had significant acceptance among the non-Christians in Rome then).
Some have called Simon Magus the first pope. Mainly because he claimed Christ, allowed himself to be worshiped, and held to a lot of doctrines that the Church of Rome currently holds. For example, notice:
“The pope is not only the representative of Jesus Christ, but he is Jesus Christ himself, hidden under a veil of flesh.” The Catholic National, July 1895 (as cited in Erue JO. The Church and Apostacy: The Anti-christ, a Christian Or a Muslim?, 2nd edition. Obaroh & Ogbinaka Publishers, 1997. Original from Indiana University, Digitized Sep 9, 2008, p. 85)
We in the Continuing Church of God would not accept that about any human leader, but the Church of Rome does.
Another apostate who is believed to also have arisen in the first century and who was also believed to have been directly denounced by one of the original 12 apostles was Cerinthus (see Cerinthus: An early heretic). Other apostates and heretics, some with similarities to Simon Magus, also arose in the second and later centuries.
The work of Simon Magus and his followers did affect Rome, and sometime during the second century, claimed 'bishops of Rome' were clearly departing from 'the faith once for all delivered to the saints' (Jude 3). In the second century, the faithful Polycarp of Smyrna visited Rome and condemned various apostates there including Marcion and Valentinus.
Polycarp also and told the Roman Bishop Anicetus to go back to original Church of God practices. Sadly, Anicetus would not do so, but instead continued in a non-biblical practice. Furthermore Anicetus and/or his successors allowed condemned apostates, like Marcion and Valentinus to influence them for decades according to Tertullian (see articles on Marcion and Valentinus).
Conclusion
Sometime after his confrontation with Peter, history records that Simon Magus traveled and spread his teachings.
Since most of the statements written about Simon come from those who were his opponents, it is difficult to know for certain much about him or his teachings (it would be easiest if we had any actual writings from him). However, since Simon is clearly condemned in scripture, it would appear to be a wise decision to not participate in practices that apparently he or his followers introduced to their false brand of Christianity.
As this paper illustrates, even those now considered to be early supporters of the Roman Catholic Church condemned Simon and his followers for doctrines such as statues, revering a woman, the doctrine of the immortal soul, incantations, mysteries, mystic priests, claiming divine titles for leaders, accepting money for religious favors, preferring allegory and tradition over many aspects of scripture, having a leader who wanted to be thought of as God/Christ on earth, and divorcing themselves from Christian biblical practices considered to be Jewish. And, even according to Roman Catholic recognized sources, Simon Magus directly influenced many in Rome.
Simon Magus may well have endorsed Sunday, but this not certain. It may be that because people like the apostate Justin Martyr kept Sunday, that they did not see any reason to mention that in their condemnations of Simon Magus, but this is currently speculation.
The religion of Mithraism also had some of the same practices that Simon Magus advocated. Rome was also highly influenced by the followers of Mithras, which accelerated under the fourth century Emperor Constantine (Do You Practice Mithraism?).
Sadly, most of the groups that now profess Christianity and condemn Simon and his followers have many of the same practices and doctrines that early writers objected to as false and heretical.
Of course, the Church of God has none of those practices, and thus is truly the Church that is most faithful to the original teachings of the Bible.

In the Baal Cycle, Ba'al Hadad is challenged by and defeats Yam using two magical weapons (called "Driver" and "Chaser") made for him by Kothar-wa-Khasis. Afterward, with the help of Athirat and Anat, Ba'al persuades El to allow him a palace. El approves, and the palace is built by Kothar-wa-Khasis. After the palace is constructed, Ba'al gives forth a thunderous roar out of the palace window and challenges Mot. Mot enters through the window and swallows Ba'al, sending him to the underworld. With no one to give rain, there is a terrible drought in Ba'al's absence. The other deities, especially El and Anat, are distraught that Ba'al had been taken to the underworld. Anat goes to the underworld, attacks Mot with a knife, grinds him up into pieces, and scatters him far and wide. With Mot defeated, Ba'al is able to return and refresh the Earth with rain.[9]

Dracula 2000 (also known as Wes Craven Presents: Dracula 2000 and internationally as Dracula 2001)[3] is a 2000 American horror film co-written and directed by Patrick Lussier and produced by Joel Soisson. Starring Gerard Butler in the title role along with Christopher Plummer, Jonny Lee Miller, Justine Waddell, Omar Epps, Colleen Fitzpatrick, Jeri Ryan and Jennifer Esposito, the plot follows Count Dracula, who, after having escaped captivity by Abraham Van Helsing over a century following the events of the novel Dracula, arrives in New Orleans, Louisiana in the 21st century and seeks out Mary Heller, the daughter of Van Helsing.
Dracula 2000, under its promotional title Wes Craven Presents: Dracula 2000, builds upon Bram Stoker's original 1897 novel, with Count Dracula resurrected in contemporary America. The film was a critical and commercial failure.
Dracula 2000 was followed by two direct-to-video sequels, Ascension in 2003 and Legacy in 2005. Series director Lussier and Joel Soisson, who co-wrote all three films, created a plot for a fourth film and discussed releasing it theatrically, but the film was not produced.[4]
Plot
In 2000 London, Matthew Van Helsing, a grandson of 19th-century physician Abraham Van Helsing, owns an antique shop built over the site of Carfax Abbey. One night, Van Helsing's secretary, Solina, her boyfriend Marcus, and their companions Trick, Nightshade, Dax, and Eddie break into the shop's underground vault, believing it must contain valuables. Instead, they discover a sealed silver coffin. While attempting to open the coffin, Eddie and Dax are impaled by spikes, spraying the coffin with blood and alerting Van Helsing to their presence. Assuming the coffin must contain his valuables, the group escapes with it aboard a plane to New Orleans, and Van Helsing arranges a flight to pursue them, unwittingly accompanied by his apprentice, Simon Sheppard.
Aboard their plane, Nightshade unlocks the coffin, revealing the withered body of Count Dracula. Having been awakened by the blood on his coffin, Dracula attacks and vampirizes Solina and her group. Rejuvenated, Dracula has a vision of a young woman, Mary Heller, who simultaneously sees him. After the plane crashes in a Louisiana swamp, the seemingly deceased passengers are taken to a makeshift morgue, while Dracula vampirizes Valerie Sharpe, a presenter reporting on the crash. He then travels to New Orleans to find Mary. Estranged from her family, Mary has recently been experiencing vivid dreams about Dracula, unaware of who he is.
Van Helsing and Simon arrive in New Orleans and destroy most of Dracula's newborn vampires. Afterward, Van Helsing confesses to Simon that he is Abraham Van Helsing, who defeated Dracula in 1897, and has extended his own life by regularly injecting Dracula's blood from within the leeches that accompanied Dracula and posing as his own descendants to disguise it. In the century since, Van Helsing has failed to find a method of permanently killing Dracula. All that is known, though, is that Dracula abhors God, Christian cultures, and silver, and is ancient and the first of his kind. Van Helsing also reveals that Mary is his daughter. She was conceived after Van Helsing began his injections and thus shares a blood connection to Dracula. Van Helsing's wife left with Mary after learning his secrets and of what he had done.
Dracula is led to Mary's home by her friend Lucy, whom he seduces and vampirizes. There, he later confronts and kills Van Helsing. On her return, Mary finds her father's bloodied corpse and is ambushed by Dracula and his brides: Solina, Valerie, and Lucy. Simon arrives just in time to save her from Dracula's beast form. The pair briefly escapes into a church cemetery, but Dracula soon catches and abducts Mary. Dracula explains that he has spent centuries searching for someone like him, but born rather than vampirized like his thralls.
On a rooftop, Dracula transforms Mary and reveals that he is Judas Iscariot, the Apostle who betrayed Jesus to the Sanhedrin for a bribe of thirty pieces of silver. After Jesus was crucified, Judas hanged himself out of guilt at sunset, but was revived and turned into the first vampire. Dracula blames Jesus for his damnation because he had foreknowledge of his betrayal and failed to avert the prophecy. Seeking revenge, the fallen Apostle aims to spite Christ by causing the world to be overrun by vampires. Mary suggests that Dracula cannot die because he has not sought God's forgiveness, but Dracula refuses to ever submit to Jesus or God again. After Simon kills Valerie, he is subdued by Solina and Lucy and brought to Dracula, who offers his blood to Mary. She feigns the bite before she and Simon kill the remaining brides and stab Dracula to avenge her father, revealing that she still has free will.
An enraged Dracula attacks Mary, who wraps some retaining cable from a large crucifix around his neck and drags him over the roof edge. As dawn breaks, and Dracula looks up at the image of Jesus on the crucifix, the sunlight immolates him. He releases Mary from her vampirism before perishing. Sometime later, with Simon's support, Mary has taken her father's role in guarding Dracula's remains to prevent the vampire from returning.

Production
While finalizing post-production on Scream 3, Bob Weinstein approached editor Patrick Lussier on a modernized take on Dracula entitled Dracula 2000. When Lussier asked Weinstein what the film was about, Weinstein responded "I don't know." Joel Soisson, having written under Lussier for The Prophecy 3: The Ascent, was brought on board to flesh out the film. The filmmakers quickly drafted a screenplay by January 2000, which envisioned a smaller scale story than Weinstein had hoped for.[5] Soisson's initial pitch, which included a vampire hunting priest, would ultimately be recycled for the sequel, Dracula II: Ascension.[6][7] Inspired by the prior Hammer Horror entries, particularly Dracula A.D. 1972, Lussier attempted to employ similar methods for his film.[8] Lussier and Soisson also sought to differentiate their Dracula from other adaptations. The director took note of the character's scorn for Christian iconography, ultimately linking him to Judas Iscariot.[9]
Wes Craven served as an executive producer on the project. Craven's name was used heavily in marketing, as done on previous films such as Wishmaster and Don't Look Down.[10] Ehren Kruger performed a script polish, while Scott Derrickson and his writing partner Paul Harris Boardman were enlisted for a rewrite just two weeks before production.[11][12][13][14] According to Derrickson, Weinstein thought the script was "terrible" but was moving forward with production regardless; when Derrickson asked why he was making the movie, Weinstein replied "Because it's called Dracula 2000".[15]
During pre-production in Toronto, Lussier had already blocked several scenes using assistants. Christopher Plummer, Jennifer Esposito, Colleen Fitzpatrick, Omar Epps, Justine Waddell, Jonny Lee Miller, and Jeri Ryan arrived on set, but no actor had been cast in the title role. Gerard Butler would be cast as Dracula only two days before filming commenced.[5]
Filming took place in New Orleans and Toronto, beginning on June 26, 2000, and wrapping on September 6.[16][5] A rough cut of the film was assembled in only six days. Additional photography occurred on October 23 and spanned eight days.[5] Nathan Fillion was added during the reshoots, filming his brief scenes on Halloween night.[17] In November, the Writers Guild of America ruled that Soisson would receive sole screenplay credit and share story credit with Lussier.[18] The final cut of the film was expected to be delivered on December 12, 2000, a mere ten days before its theatrical release. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Craven compared Dracula 2000's rushed production to his time working on Scream 2, which was released in December 1997 after being filmed between June and August of that year. Craven said "What's the benefit of making movies so fast? There's no benefit whatsoever. It's terribly difficult, and completely unnecessary."[5]

The Wandering Jew (occasionally referred to as the Eternal Jew, a translation of the German "der Ewige Jude") is a mythical immortal man whose legend began to spread in Europe in the 13th century.[a] In the original legend, a Jew who taunted Jesus on the way to the Crucifixion was then cursed to walk the Earth until the Second Coming.

Connection to Conversos (Spain)
While not explicitly central in all Black Madonna narratives, these figures played a complex role in the religious life of Spanish conversos (Jewish converts to Christianity) and the broader population, particularly in the 15th-16th centuries:
Jews and the Knights Templar – a complex relationship
Thousands of Jewish people around the world are taking up an invitation from the Portuguese government to return to Portugal. Their ancestors were forced out of the country by the Inquisition from the 15th century onwards. And it seems a good moment to look back at the relationship between Portuguese Jews and the Knights Templar in Portugal.
https://thetemplarknight.com/2011/09/18/jews-knights-templar-relationship/
Although in the first 30 years of the existence of the Society of Jesus there were many Jesuits who were conversos (Catholic-convert Jews and Muslims and their descendants), an anti-converso faction led to the Decree de genere (1593) which proclaimed that either Jewish or Muslim ancestry, no matter how distant, was an insurmountable impediment for admission to the Society of Jesus.[191]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesuits
Himmler used the Jesuits as the model for the SS, since he found they had the core elements of absolute obedience and the cult of the organisation.[59][60] Hitler is said to have called Himmler "my Ignatius of Loyola".[59] As an order, the SS needed a coherent doctrine that would set it apart.[61] Himmler attempted to construct such an ideology, and deduced a "pseudo-Germanic tradition" from history.[61]

From modest beginnings the SS (Schutzstaffel; Protection Squadrons), became a virtual state within a state in Nazi Germany, staffed by men who perceived themselves as the “racial elite” of Nazi future.
In the Nazi state, the SS assumed leading responsibility for security, identification of ethnicity, settlement and population policy, and intelligence collection and analysis. The SS controlled the German police forces and the concentration camp system. The SS conceived and implemented plans designed to restructure the ethnic composition of eastern Europe and the occupied Soviet Union.
From 1939, the SS assumed responsibility for “solving” the so-called Jewish Question; after 1941, its leadership planned, coordinated and directed the so-called Final Solution of the Jewish Question. This “solution” was the annihilation of the European Jews, which we now refer to as the Holocaust

2 §1. The character and charism of the Society of Jesus arise from the Spiritual Exercises which our holy father Ignatius and his companions went through. Led by this experience, they formed an apostolic group rooted in charity, in which, after they had taken the vows of chastity and poverty and had been raised to the priesthood, they offered themselves as a HOLOCAUST to God,[2] so that serving as soldiers of God beneath the banner of the cross and serving the Lord alone and the Church his spouse under the Roman Pontiff, the vicar of Christ on earth,[3] they would be sent into the entire world[4] for the defense and propagation of the faith and for the progress of souls in Christian life and doctrine.

125 §1. All members before pronouncing final vows
must complete the third year of probation, exercising
themselves in the school of the heart.[15] For priests
this is not to be deferred beyond three years after
priestly ordination except for a just reason in the judgment
of the provincial.[16]
§2. The purpose of this probation is for each one,
in concrete and personal contact with the things of the
Society, to bring to completion a synthesis of spiritual,
apostolic, and intellectual or technical formation,
which makes for the fuller integration in the Lord of
the whole personality, in keeping with the Society s
objective as St. Ignatius described it: that, since they
themselves have made progress, they may better help
others to make spiritual progress to the glory of God
and of our Lord. [17]
126 Third probation should be made according to a
program suitable for attaining these ends and
approved by the general; in it experiments prescribed
by the Constitutions should be diligently carried out
and a study of the Institute and our way of proceeding
should be fostered with great care.[18]
127 A provincial can dispense no one from making a
complete tertianship. It is for the general, however, to
judge whether for most serious reasons someone
should be exempted from some part of it; but he will
scarcely ever dispense someone from all of it.[19]
128 Those who are to be advanced to final vows
1° Are to make the renunciation of their
property if that has not already been done;[20]
2° Are to make an account of conscience
about thirty days before their final vows;[21]
3° Are to make the Spiritual Exercises for
eight days; if, however, they have already done so
within the past three months, it is sufficient that they
recollect themselves for three days;[22]
4° Are to make a general confession;[23]
5° Are to spend some time in ministries
among the poor and marginalized;
6° Are to reflect seriously on the Constitutions,
the apostolic letters and the vows they are
about to take.[24]
129 Ours who before final vows are elevated to the
cardinalate or to the episcopacy, whether residential
or titular, cannot be promoted to grade; neither, during
the duration of their appointment, can those who
are delegates, vicars, and prefects apostolic, even
though they are not elevated to episcopal status.[25]

A. Explicit instructions were given by inspiration and delivered to the people.
Exodus 12:46 – “In one house it shall be eaten; you shall not carry any of the
flesh outside the house, nor shall you break one of its bones.”
B. No bone was to be broken in our Passover Lamb, either.
1. Psalm 34:20 – “He guards all his bones; Not one of them is broken.”
2. John 19:36 – “For these things were done that the Scripture should be
fulfilled, ‘Not one of His bones shall be broken.’”
a. Note: The religious leaders knew the Psalms.
b. Why did they not ask if the soldiers had broken any of the Nazarene’s
bones.
c. Evidence overlooked. Evidence foretold about one thousand years
before that fateful Friday afternoon of April 7, 30 A.D. just outside the
walls of Jerusalem.
d. A litmus test they refused to take.
e. All that he had been through . . . and yet no broken bones. Why did
they not ask? Did they really want to know?
f. Listening friends . . . Do you really want to know? You can!
REDEMPTION INVOLVED IN EACH
A. Exodus 12:13 – “Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where
you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall
not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.”
1. The God-prescribed blood was applied to each house.
2. Safety was inside the blood . . . not outside the blood.
3. Safety was inside the house protected by the blood from the lamb.
3. The death of a lamb gave them life.
B. Concerning Christ as our Passover Lamb, let us note:
1. Ephesians 1:7 – “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the
forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.”
2. 1 John 1:7 – “But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have
fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son
cleanses us from all sin.”
3. The apostle Peter tells us that we are redeemed by the blood of Christ.
1 Peter 1:18-19 – “Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible
things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition
from your fathers,
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and
without spot.”

What does it mean that there is one mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5)?
Answer
A mediator is an official “go-between” who acts as a link between two parties to reconcile their differences. The term literally means “one who stands in between.” In legal disputes, a mediator represents the interests of both parties, working as an intercessory agent to negotiate a settlement. In global conflicts, a mediator intervenes between opposing world powers to try to achieve peace.
The apostle Paul writes In 1 Timothy 2:5, “For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.” Humanity is born into sin (Psalm 51:5). Sin is a problem because it stands in the way, blocking the relationship between humans and God. All people enter this world separated or estranged from the Holy God (Isaiah 59:2; Romans 5:10, 12) and deserving of His wrath (Ephesians 2:3). Romans 6:23 explains that the penalty for sin is death, not only physical death but spiritual, eternal death (Revelation 20:11–15).
Because of our sinful condition, human beings need a mediator to negotiate peace with God—and that person is Jesus Christ: “Since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us” (Romans 5:1, NLT).
Scripture reveals Moses as mediator of the Old Testament covenant (Galatians 3:19; cf. Exodus 20:19, 21–22; Deuteronomy 5:5, 22, 23, 27, 31; Acts 7:38). Moses entered God’s presence on behalf of the people of Israel. He drew near to God, speaking and interceding as their representative. Moses was God’s chosen mediator to lead the Israelites in the way of salvation through a relationship with God.
In the New Testament, Jesus Christ became the mediator of a new, superior covenant: “But now Jesus, our High Priest, has been given a ministry that is far superior to the old priesthood, for he is the one who mediates for us a far better covenant with God, based on better promises” (Hebrews 8:6, NLT).
Jesus, God’s incarnate Son, is the perfect intermediary, better than Moses because He alone is appropriately qualified to be the one mediator between God and man. Only Jesus Christ is fully human and fully divine (John 1:1, 14; Hebrews 2:17). As man and God, Jesus is uniquely equipped to represent both sides. He alone stands in the gap between God and man. He alone meets the righteous requirements of the law, opening the way into God’s presence once and for all through His death on the cross and resurrection to life (John 1:17; Hebrews 3:1–6; 9:15, 22; 10:10; 12:24).
Only the sacrifice of the sinless, spotless Lamb of God could fully pay the ransom required to set people free from sin and eternal death. Jesus took our punishment on Himself, making it possible for us to experience forgiveness of sin and freedom from its destructive control.
There is one mediator between God and man means that Christ is the only way to God the Father. Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). If we want to experience peace with God and a restored relationship of joy in His presence, we must come “by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body” (Hebrews 10:19–20).
Jesus Christ is the one mediator—the one and only Savior of the world (John 1:29; 1 Timothy 1:15). There is no other go-between. We come to God through faith in His Son, who is the only means of salvation. Religion cannot save us. Good works won’t make us right with God. Nothing but faith in Jesus Christ is sufficient to bridge the gap between sinful humanity and a Holy God.
As the one mediator between God and man, Jesus Christ now rules in the hearts of believers and “is at the right hand of God . . . interceding for us” (Romans 8:34, ESV). We can live in the secure knowledge that, in the end, Christ will put every enemy “under his feet,” including “the last enemy,” which is death itself (1 Corinthians 15:24–27).

1 Timothy 2
1599 Geneva Bible
2 He exhorteth them to make public prayers for all men, 4, 5 and that for two causes, 8 and therefore he willeth all men in all places to pray, 9 and declareth in what apparel, 11 and with what modesty, women ought to behave themselves in holy assemblies.
1 I [a]Exhort therefore, that first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,
2 For Kings, and for all that are in authority, [b]that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life, in all godliness, and [c]honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior.
4 [d]Who will that all men shall be saved, and come unto the acknowledging of the truth.
5 [e]For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and man, which is the [f]man Christ Jesus,
6 Who gave himself a ransom for all men, [g]to be that testimony in due time,
7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher and an Apostle (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not) even a teacher of the Gentiles in [h]faith and verity.
8 [i]I will therefore that the men pray, everywhere [j]lifting up pure hands without [k]wrath, or [l]doubting.
9 [m]Likewise also the women, that they array themselves in comely apparel, with shamefastness and modesty, not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly apparel,
10 But (as becometh women that profess the fear of God) with good works.
11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 I permit not a woman to teach, [n]neither to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 [o]For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 [p]And Adam was not [q]deceived, but the woman was deceived, and was in the transgression.
15 [r]Notwithstanding, through bearing of children she shall be saved, if they continue in faith, and love, and holiness with modesty.
Footnotes
1 Timothy 2:1 Having dispatched those things which pertain to doctrine, he speaketh now in the second place of the other part of the ministry of the word, to wit, of public prayers. And first of all declaring this question, for whom we ought to pray: he teacheth that we must pray for all men, and especially for all manner of magistrates, which thing was at that time somewhat doubted of, seeing that kings, yea and the most part of magistrates were at that time enemies of the Church.
1 Timothy 2:2 An argument taken of the end: to wit, because that magistrates are appointed to this end, that men might peaceably and quietly live in all godliness and honesty, and therefore must we commend them especially to God, that they may faithfully execute so necessary an office.
1 Timothy 2:2 This word containeth all kind of duty, which is to be used amongst men in all their affairs.
1 Timothy 2:4 Another argument, why Churches or Congregations ought to pray for all men, without any difference of nation, kind, age, or order: to wit, because the Lord by calling of all sorts, yea, sometimes those that are greatest enemies to the Gospel, will have his Church gathered together after this sort, and therefore prayers to be made for all.
1 Timothy 2:5 God would not else be manifested to be the only God of all men, unless he would show his goodness in saving of all sorts of men: neither should Christ be seen to be the only mediator between God and all sorts of men, by having taken upon him that nature of man which is common to all men, unless he had satisfied for all sorts of men, and made intercession for all.
1 Timothy 2:5 Christ Jesus which was made man.
1 Timothy 2:6 A confirmation, because that even to the Gentiles in the secret of salvation now opened and made manifest the Apostle himself being appointed properly to this office, which he doth faithfully and sincerely execute.
1 Timothy 2:7 Faithfully and sincerely: and by faith he meaneth wholesome and sound doctrine, and by truth, an upright and sincere handling of it.
1 Timothy 2:8 He hath spoken of the persons for whom we must pray: and now he teacheth that the difference of places is taken away: for in times past, one only nation, and in one certain place, came together to public service: but now Churches or Congregations are gathered together everywhere (orderly and decently) and men come together to serve God publicly with common prayer, neither must we strive for the nation or for the purification of the body, or for the place, but for the mind, to have it clean from all offense, and full of sure trust and confidence.
1 Timothy 2:8 He putteth the sign for the thing itself, the lifting up of hands, for the calling upon God.
1 Timothy 2:8 Without these griefs and offenses of the mind, which hinder us from calling upon God with a good conscience.
1 Timothy 2:8 Doubting which is against faith, James 1:6.
1 Timothy 2:9 Thirdly he appointeth women to learn in the public assemblies with silence and modesty, being comely appareled without any riot or excess in their apparel.
1 Timothy 2:12 The first argument, why it is not lawful for women to teach in the Congregation, because by this means they should be placed above men, for they should be their masters: which is against God’s ordinance.
1 Timothy 2:13 He proveth this ordinance of God, whereby the woman is subject to man, first by that, that God made the woman after man, for man’s sake.
1 Timothy 2:14 Then because that after sin God enjoined the woman this punishment, for that the man was deceived by her.
1 Timothy 2:14 Adam was deceived, but through his wife’s means, and therefore she is worthily for this cause subject to her husband, and ought to be.
1 Timothy 2:15 He addeth a comfort by the way, that their subjection hindereth not but that women may be saved as well as men, if they behave themselves in those burdens of marriage holily and modestly, with faith and charity.
