The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind tocorrelateall itscontents.Weliveonaplacidislandofignoranceinthemidstofablacksea of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

LET’S GET SOMETHING STRAIGHT RIGHT OFF. THIS BOOK HAS nothing to do with stories of vampires,werewolves,devilworship,witchcraft,oranythingelsecommonlythoughttobeoftheoccult,althoughthereisanunearthlyaspect.Manybelieverschoose toput their faith insuchstories,but there isanothernarrativegrowing in the

publicconsciousnessthatcannolongerbewrittenoffasmerefable:theideathataliensfromouterspaceorotherdimensionsmayhave—ormaybetryingto—takecontroloftheworld.Thewordoccult, oftenmisconstrued tomean supernatural ormagical, actually is defined simply as

hidden or concealed. Even so, theword also involves a connection to outer space or the heavens. Inastronomicalterms,thetermoccultedequates toaneclipse, inwhichoneheavenlybodyismasked,orhidden,behindanother.Whathistory isbeinghiddenfromus? Itwouldappear thatsomethingnonhumanseeks tocontrol the

Heinlein’s The PuppetMasters havedepicted humans transformed into zombielike pod people after an alien invasion. But these seeminglyoutrageous concepts haven’t always been the stuff of pulp fantasy novels or television scripts.Rather,they’vebeenconsideredseriouslybymanypeopleatdifferenttimesthroughoutourhistory.DavidIcke,authorof theTheBiggestSecret,hasbuilta largeworldwidefollowingwithhisclaims

thatcertainworldleaders,includingtheBritishroyals,areshape-shiftingreptilianalienswhohavebeenon Earth since before written history. According to Icke, these leaders have descended from manygenerations of reptilian aliens. “A race of interbreeding [reptile-human hybrid] bloodlines … werecenteredintheMiddleEastandNearEastintheancientworld,”wroteIcke,“and,overthethousandsofyearssince,haveexpandedtheirpoweracrosstheglobe…[through]anetworkofmysteryschoolsandsecretsocieties…creatinginstitutionslikereligionstomentallyandemotionallyimprisonthemassesandsetthematwarwitheachother.”Lest one believe such talk comes only from loony fanatics, consider that none other than the famed

described on cuneiform tablets by the ancient Sumerians. Starting with the translations of ancientSumerian tablets by Zecharia Sitchin in the 1970s, many authors have contributed to amore detailedunderstanding of the creation story as recorded by the Sumerians long before the Bible. Thanks toSitchin’swork,aswellasthatofErichvonDäniken,MichaelTellinger,PaulVonWard,AlanF.Alford,R.A.Boulay,NeilFreer,ArthurDavidHorn,JoeLewels,JosephP.Farrell,DavidHatcherChildress,C.L.Turnage,DavidIcke,LloydPye,LaurenceGardner,andWilliamBramley,anovelandunconventionalaccount of Earth’s creation has been developing. The new account, based in part on ancientwritings,dealswiththerecurringintrusionofatenthplanetintooursolarsystem.Traditionalscience,weddedtoits own texts and dogma, has dismissed these accounts as mere mythology, if not pseudoscience andpseudohistory.

SEARCHFORTHETENTHPLANET

Thesearchforanunknownplanet(PlanetX)inoursolarsystemisnothingnew.Ithascontinuedsinceatleast 1843, when British astronomer John Couch Adams deduced through noticeable gravitationaldisturbances that another planet must lie beyond Uranus. His observations led to the discovery ofNeptune.Scientistscontinued touse thismethod todeduce theexistenceofother solarbodies, suchasPluto, which was discovered in 1930 after gravitational perturbations in the orbit of Neptune werenoticed.InitiallyPlutowasthoughttobethelong-soughtPlanetX.However,ithassincebeenconcludedthatthecombinedmassofPlutoanditsmajormoon,Charon,istoosmalltoexerttheobservedeffectontheorbitofNeptune.PoorPlutowasdowngradedin2006fromafull-fledgedplanettoadwarfplanet,althoughsomeastronomerscontinuetodisagree.ThehuntforPlanetXcontinues.In 1981,American scientistswere theorizing the existence of a tenth planet in our system based on

sightingsbyanorbitingtelescopeandstudiesofirregularitiesintheorbitofPlutoindicatinganadditionalsolar body. “If newevidence from theU.S.NavalObservatory of a 10th planet in the solar system iscorrect, itcouldprovethat theSumerians…werefaraheadofmodernmaninastronomy,”commentedHughMcCann,awriterfor theDetroitNews.Although theancientSumerianscall it the twelfthplanet,thereisnoinconsistency,astheycountedthemoonandthesunasplanetarybodies, thusarrivingat thenumbertwelve,thesamenumberastheirpantheonofspacefaringoverlords,whomtheysaidarrivedonEarthfromNibiru.OnDecember30,1983,theWashingtonPostreportedonitsfrontpage,“Aheavenlybodypossiblyas

astronomical terms, and they speculated that itmay be heading toward Earth. Others predicted that itcouldenterourinnersolarsystem,wreakinghavoc,in2012.Perhapsgivinganearlyindicationastohowofficialdomwouldtreatsuchnews,Neugebauertoldthemedia,“IwanttodousethatideawithasmuchcoldwaterasIcan.”Recently traditional scientists have downplayed or dismissed the idea of Nibiru or any large body

invading our solar system. Ian O’Neill, a science writer for Universe Today who specializes inastrophysics,in2008wrotethat“anyNeptuneorbitalperturbationshavebeenputdowntoobservationalerrorandhavesincenotbeenobserved…sotheredoesn’tappeartobeanyobviousobjectanybiggerthanthelargestKuiperBeltobjectsoutthere.…”TheKuiperBeltisanareaofplanetoidsandasteroidsthatliesjustoutsidetheorbitofNeptune.O’NeillmaintainedthatIRASneverobservedanyastronomicalbodyintheouterreachesofthesolar

systemandconcluded,“ThestorythatPlanetXwillarrive[onDecember21,2012]is,inmyview,totalbunkum (but it helps to sell doomsdaybooksandDVDsby scaringpeople).Nibiruwill remain in therealms of Sumerianmyth.”O’Neill acknowledged that rumors have persisted thatworld governments,includingNASA,werehiding the truthofanapproachingworld. “Sowhywouldgovernmentswant tohide a ‘discovery’ as historic as a doomsday planet approaching the inner Solar System anyway?” heasked, then provided his own facetious answer, “To avoid mass panic and pursue their own, greedy

agendas(obviously).”

THESUMERIANACCOUNT—MINGLINGOFTHEWATERSThe truly amazing fact remains that ancient Sumerians, whom traditional history tells us were justdevelopingwriting,accuratelydescribedtheplanetsUranus,Neptune,andPluto,eventhoughthesethreeworldscannotbeseenwithouttheaidofatelescope.Uranuswasnotknowntomodernmanuntilitwasdiscoveredin1781;Neptune,in1846;andPluto,in1930.Althoughtheyhavelongbeenconsideredfancifulmyths,recentinterpretationsofMesopotamiantexts,

particularly one entitled Enuma Elish, known as The Creation Epic, provided a most plausibleexplanationforthepresentcompositionofoursolarsystem.“Butwhynottaketheepicatfacevalue,asnothingmorenorlessthanthestatementofcosmologicalfactsasknowntotheSumerians,astoldthembytheNefilim?”askedthelateZechariaSitchin,agraduateoftheLondonSchoolofEconomicswhomadealifelongstudyof theSumerian tabletsandcarvings.Hedied inOctober2010, leavingbehindasizablefollowingofdevotees.Sitchin’srevisionist interpretationof theSumeriantextsasserts thatmorethanfourbillionyearsago,

MARTIANLIFETheconceptoflifeonMarsgotyetanotherboostwhentheresultsoftheVikingLandermissionsofthe1970swerereevaluatedin2009.Photosof thesurroundingMartianlandscapefromViking2showedathin layer of frost on the ground.Many scientists now suspect that life-sustainingwatermight exist as

close as ten inches under theMartian surface. Retired Viking scientist Patricia Straat toldDiscoverymagazine,“Alotofpeople thinkthere isn’t lifeonMarsbecause therewasn’tanywateronMars.Ourexperimentwasadefinitepositiveresponseforlife,butalotofpeoplehaveclaimedthatitwasafalsepositiveforavarietyofreasons.”“TheideathatallEarthlifecouldbedescendedfromMartianorganismsmaynotbefullymainstream—

Although this claim continued to drawcontroversy,manysawthisasevidencethathumansarenottheonlylivingorganismsinouruniverse.AstrobiologistChrisMcKayofNASA’sAmesResearchCenteralsohassupportedtheconceptthatlife

NobelPrizeinPhysiologyorMedicineforhiscodiscoveryofthestructureoftheDNAmolecule,oncesuggested that while the development of living systems from molecules may be a rare event in theuniverse,onceitdiddevelop,itmayhavebeenspreadbyspacefaringintelligentlifeformsinaprocesshe called directed panspermia. He postulated, “Life did not evolve first on Earth; a highly advancedcivilization became threatened so they devised a way to pass on their existence. They genetically-modifiedtheirDNAandsentitoutfromtheirplanetonbacteriaormeteoriteswiththehopethatitwouldcollidewithanotherplanet. Itdid,and that’swhywe’rehere.TheDNAmolecule is themostefficientinformation storage system in the entire universe. The immensity of complex, coded and preciselysequenced information is absolutely staggering. TheDNA evidence speaks of intelligent, information-bearingdesign.”

Crickwasnotalone ishissupposition thatEarthmayhavebeenseededwith lifeby intelligentbeings.“The likelihoodof the formationof life from inanimatematter isone toanumberwith40,000naughtsafter it.…It isbigenough toburyDarwinand thewhole theoryofevolution.Therewasnoprimevalsoup, neither on this planet nor on anyother, and if the beginningsof lifewere not random, theymustthereforehavebeentheproductofpurposefulintelligence,”statedBritishastronomerSirFredHoyle.Sitchin and many others view human DNA differences and defects as support for the theory that

primitive man was genetically altered by nonhumans. If so, where would such beings originate? TheancientSumeriantabletstellustheycamefromthatotherworldtheycalledNibiru.According to the followers of Sitchin,Nibiru is called the Planet of theCrossing, because its orbit

STRANGEMOONS

IN ADDITION TO ALTERNATIVE VIEWS ON THE ORIGINS OF EARTH, several scientists and authors havespeculatedthatasmanyasthreemoonsinoursolarsystemmaynotbenaturalobjects.In 1959, Russian astrophysicist Iosif Samuilovich Shklovsky calculated the orbital motion of the

MartiansatellitePhobosandconcluded,basedonseveralfactors, includingitschangingspeed,thatthemoonisartificialandhollow.Henotedthannoneoftheothermoonsinoursolarsystemareassmallasthe twoMartianmoons—Phobos andDeimos—and that bothorbitmuch too close toMars.ShklovskyrealizedthatPhobos’svelocityandpositionnolongermatcheditsmathematicallypredictedcourse.Thecombinationof itsoddandchangingvelocity,coupledwithanomalies in itsgravitationalandmagneticfields,ledShklovskytoconcludethatPhoboswasnothinglessthansomesortofhugespacecraft.Atthetime,thefamousastronomerCarlSagan,whocoauthoredthe1966bookIntelligentLifeinthe

UniversewithShklovsky,agreed,stating,“Anaturalsatellitecannotbeahollowobject.”Saganarguedforseriousconsiderationofpaleocontact—thatis,extraterrestrialsinearlyEarthhistory—andcalledforreexaminationofmythsandreligiousliteratureforevidenceofsuchcontact.In1960,SaganwasjoinedbyS.

IAPETUSOne of the moons of Saturn also has been suspected of containing something alien, if not being anartificial spacecraft itself. Iapetus, the planet’s third largest moon, has puzzled researchers since itsdiscoverybyItalianastronomerGiovanniDomenicoCassiniin1671.Likeourownmoon,Iapetusisinanear-perfect circular orbit and one side always faces its planetary host. But even more puzzling aresquare and hexagonal craters that, according to one former NASA employee, appear to be giganticartificialplatesholdingthemoontogether,makingIapetusresemblenothingsomuchastheDeathStarinGeorgeLucas’sfilmStarWars.

If this theory sounds familiar, it should—it’s basically the story told in the ancientSumeriantablets.TheBigWhack did not adequately explainwhy such an impact did not increase the Earth’s orbital

speed, so it was suggested that a second collision occurred by an object coming from the oppositedirection and thus canceling out the increased spin celestial mechanics demanded by the first strike.ResearcherstheorizedthatthesecondorbstrikingtheEarthmusthavebeenagiant—atleastthreetimesthe size ofMars.

SPACESHIPMOON?TheideaofcoincidencebeinginvolvedintheconfigurationoftheEarth,moon,andsunpalesattheoddsinvolved, but the concept of intelligent design raisesmore questions than answers.

NONHUMANSONTHEMOONThe evidence of life on Mars and speculation concerning a lunar spaceship has raised the questionwhether someonemay still be residingon themoon.Such thinking stems from thenumerous reportsofactivity and structures seen on themoon during the past decade. Actually, the accounts of lights seenmovingaboutonthemoongobackcenturies.OnJuly29,1953,NewYorkHeraldTribune science editor John J.O’Neill claimed to have seen a

twelve-mile-long“bridge”straddlingtheMareCrisiumcrater.Amonthlater,thestructurewasconfirmedbyBritish astronomerH.P.Wilkens,who told theBBC, “It looks artificial. It’s almost incredible thatsuchathingcouldhavebeenformedinthefirstinstance,orifitwasformed,couldhavelastedduringthe

at the point nearest Earth, the Shard was photographed by Orbiter 3 in preparation for the Apollomissions. This odd monument towers a mile and a half from the moon’s surface. Bruce Cornet, anindependentgeologistwhohasstudiedphotosoftheShardatlength,said,“Noknownnaturalprocesscanexplainsuchastructure.”Perhapsevenmoreamazing is ahugeupright structure in theSinusMedii regiondubbed theTower.

Cornetsaid,“TheTowerrepresentsanenigmaofthehighestmagnitude,becauseitrisesmorethanfivemiles above the surface of the moon, and has been photographed from five different angles and twodifferent altitudes. In all four photographs the same structure is visible and can be viewed from twodifferent sides.

these anomalies.

HUMANKIND:THEANOMALIESCONTINUE

BEFORE TAKING UP THE CONCEPT OF ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS, ONEmust consider the origins of humankind.Whatisconventionalscienceholdingbackregardingthebeginningsofourspecies,andwhatmightthismeantoourfuture?

DARWINISMUNDERFIREThe squabble over how the world was created or whether some moons are artificial appears punycomparedtotheongoingfightovertheoriginsofhumankind.ThefocusofthisargumentcentersaroundtheEnglishnaturalistCharlesDarwin’stheoriesinhis1859bookOntheOriginofSpecies.Inthiswork,DarwinproposedasimpleexplanationforlifeonEarth—thatlifeevolvedthroughaseriesofbiologicalchangesderivingfromrandomgeneticmutationsinconjunctionwithaprocessknownasnaturalselection.This supposes that those species best adapted to environmental change are best suited to survive.AlthoughDarwinneverexplicitly stated thatmandescended from theape,hisdevoteesadvocated thatconclusion,drawingcriticismfromreligiousfundamentalists.TheideaofsurvivalofthefittestisperhapsthebestknownofDarwin’sprinciplesandhasbeentaughtinschoolsforseveralgenerations.Theevolutionaccount is familiar—fishevolved intoamphibians,whichchanged intoreptiles,which

becamebirdsandmammals,whicheventuallyevolvedintohumans.“However,itisfareasiertoexplainthis to schoolchildren—with cute illustrations and pictures of a lineup of apes (beginning with thosehavingslumpedshoulders,transitioningtothosethatarestandingupright)—thanitistoprove,”cautionedWill Hart, author of The Genesis Race. In fact, Darwin’s theory continues to generate controversybecause,asHartpointedout,it“istheonlyscientifictheorytaughtworldwidethathasyettobeprovedbytherigorousstandardsofscience.”Even after a hundred years of effort, no one has been able to fully substantiate Darwin’s theories

through documented fossil exhibits. Yet Darwin’s theory of evolution continues to be taught in mostschoolsandcontinuestogeneratecontroversy.ThelateHarvardbiologistStephenJayGouldnoted,“Allpaleontologists know that the fossil record contains precious little in the way of intermediate forms;transitionsbetweenmajorgroups[ofspecies]arecharacteristicallylacking.”Darwin never actually insisted that man descended from the ape. This was a conclusion of his

followers.Darwinhimselfadmittedtogiantholesinhisowntheory.“Ifitcouldbedemonstratedthatanycomplex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive slightmodifications,mytheorywouldabsolutelybreakdown,”hewroteinOntheOriginofSpecies.Nosuchindisputablelinkagetocomplexorganshasyetbeenfound,andsomerespectedscientistsuse

thisasevidenceagainstthetheoryofhumanevolution.LehighUniversitybiochemistryprofessorMichaelBehe,after studiously researchingbloodclotting,cilia, thehuman immunesystem, transferofmaterialsbetween cells, andnucleotides, concluded that these aspects of humanphysiology are too “irreduciblycomplex”tohaveevolvedfrom“lesscomplete”predecessorsthroughnaturalselection.Proponentsoftheintelligent-designtheoryoflifeseizeduponBehe’sworkasjustificationfortheirbeliefs.In 2005, Behe presented his theory of “irreducible complexity” in a Pennsylvania court case

challengingaschooldistrictmandatethatastatementaboutintelligentdesignbeincludedwithevolutioninscienceclasses.U.S.DistrictCourtJudgeJohnE.JonesIII,aconservativeRepublicanappointed in

2002 by President George W. Bush, ruled that the required statement was unconstitutional becauseProfessor Behe’s claim was not science but a form of creationism, a religious belief that had been“rejectedbythescientificcommunityatlarge.”

HUMANCHRONOLOGYREVISEDAlthough Behe’s ideas were rejected by the court, could he have been on to something about humandevelopmentandthewayitfitsinwiththetheoryofevolution?Afterall,wehaveeveryreasontodoubtthetimelineofourdevelopment,asitcontinuallyisbeingrevised.Forexample,fishhooksandfishbonesdatingback42,000yearswerediscoveredinalimestonecaveinEastTimorinearly2012.Thisfindingindicated that humans were capable of skilled, deep-sea fishing 30,000 years earlier than previouslythought. One of the discoverers, SueO’Connor of theAustralianNational University’s Department ofArchaeology and Natural History, told the media, “There was never any hint of [what] maritimetechnologypeoplemighthavehadintermsoffishinggear42,000yearsago.”AlanButler andChristopherKnight, best-selling authors of the alternative historyCivilizationOne,

have pointed to further evidence that the human race developed far earlier than believed. Butler andKnightdescribedalarge-scalegene-mappingprogrambyresearchersatdeCODEGeneticsinReykjavik,Iceland,which found that itwaspossible todate theoriginofageneticdifferenceamongnearly thirtythousand Icelandic women. This was accomplished by counting the number of DNA differences fromnormalDNA.Thisstudyindicatedthatthedifferencesbeganaboutthreemillionyearsago,longbeforemodernhumanswerethoughttohaveevolved.ThestudyofDNAalsosupportstheideathatgeneticconnectionscanbefoundinawidediversityof

the late 1990s that he was backpacking in the north end of the Grand Canyon when he came acrossconcreteplatforms.KnowingoftheEgyptianartifactsstory,hesurmisedthattheplatformsmayhavebeenthe base for cranes to lower heavy artifacts from the cave on the sheer rock face. David HatcherChildress,whofoundedtheWorldExplorersClub, lookedinto thematter.Afterobtainingamapof the

GrandCanyon,Childressandclubmembersreported:

Poring over themap, we were amazed to see that much of the area on the north side of thecanyon has Egyptian names. The area around Ninety-fourMile Creek and Trinity Creek hadareas (rock formations,apparently)withnames likeTowerofSet,TowerofRa,HorusTemple,Osiris Temple, and Isis Temple. In theHauntedCanyon areawere such names as theCheopsPyramid, theBuddhaCloister,BuddhaTemple,ManuTempleandShivaTemple.Was thereanyrelationshipbetweentheseplacesandtheallegedEgyptiandiscoveriesintheGrandCanyon?Wecalledastatearchaeologistat theGrandCanyon,andweretoldthat theearlyexplorers

Yettoday,thisareaiscuriouslyoff-limitstoallhikersandeven,inlargepart,parkpersonnel.TheVaticanhasbeenlongaccusedofkeepingartifactsandancientbooksintheirvastcellars,

These secret treasures, often of acontroversial historical or religious nature, are allegedly suppressed by the Catholic Churchbecausetheymightdamagethechurch’scredibility,orperhapscasttheirofficialtextsindoubt.Sadly, there is overwhelming evidence that something very similar is happening with theSmithsonianInstitution.

HOAXESANDFORGERIESInadditiontotheproblemsofinconsistencythatplagueDarwin’stheoryofevolution,effortstosolvethe“missinglink”problemhavebeenhamperedbyfalsediscoveries.In1887,forexample,theDutchanatomistMarieEugèneFrançoisThomasDuBoismovedtotheDutch

East Indies and joined theDutchArmy as amedical officer.Aided by two army engineers and someforced laborers, in 1890DuBoismoved his search for fossils to the island of Java,where two yearspreviouslyahumanskullhadbeenfound.Oncethere,DuBois’sworkersfoundanincompleteskulland,uponwidening the search, apartial jawbonewith three teethattached,on thebanksof theSoloRiver.Further searches uncovered amolar, an intact skullcap, and a thighbone. In 1894,DuBois published adescription of his fossils, claiming that they came from one creature and that,when put together, theyrepresentedalinkbetweenapeandhumanthathecalledPithecanthropuserectus,“ape-humanthatstandsupright.”Informally,thefossilswereknownasJavaMan.DuBois’s theorywas never fully accepted even after his return to Europe in 1895. Some scientists

chargedthatthethighboneandskullcapwereunrelatedandrepresentedtwoseparateindividuals.OthersmerelyarguedagainstDuBois’sclaimthatthespecimenrepresentedanintermediateprimate,ormissinglink.Stungby thecontroversy,DuBoishadstoppeddiscussingJavaManall togetherby the turnof thecenturyandhidthefossilsawayfromthepublicinhishome.Today,JavaManhasbeenlumpedinwithotherfossildiscoveries,classifiedasalarge,prehistorichominidcalledHomoerectus.Certain“missing link”discoverieshave turnedout tobeoutrighthoaxes.Oneof themost famousof

thesewasthePiltdownMan,basedonalargeskullandjawbonefoundinagravelpitatPiltdown,EastSussex,England,in1912.Theartifactwasgiventheimpressive-soundingnameEoanthropusdawsoniorDawson’s dawn-man, after British amateur archaeologist Charles Dawson, who claimed to havecollectedtheremainsfrompitworkmen.Butinsteadofbeingthemissinglinkeveryonewashopingfor,PiltdownManactuallywasrevealedto

be a gigantic hoax in 1953.Dawson and others, including even the famous SherlockHolmes novelistArthurConanDoyle,weresuspectedofforgingthemissinglinkbycombiningamodernhumanskullwiththejawboneofanorangutan.ManysuspectthatwhoeverfabricatedthePiltdownMan,anditmayhaveconsistedofmorethanoneperson,didsoinashortsightedefforttosupportthetheoriesofDarwin.ThePiltdownManhoax succeeded for so longbecause at the timeof its presentation, the scientific

establishment had long supposed that the largemodern human brain preceded themodern omnivorousdiet.Theforgeryhadprovidedexactlytheevidencethatsuitedthetheory.Publicacceptanceofanthropologyincreasedin1974withthediscoveryoftheskeletonofahominid

australopithecine female in theAfarTriangle regionofHadar,Ethiopia.AmericanpaleoanthropologistDonald Johanson, assisted by Maurice Taieb and Yves Coppens, suggested the name Lucy after theBeatles’ tune“Lucy in theSkywithDiamonds,”whichwasheardona tape thenightof thediscovery.Lucy, a three-and-a-half-foot-tall biped, initially was considered merely another Australopithecusafricanus, apreviouslyknownhominid from the latePlioceneepoch. Itwassometime later, followingotherfinds,thatshewasrecognizedasaseparatespecies.InthemonthsfollowingLucy’sdiscovery,Johanson’steamfoundprehistorichominidteethandbones

aswell. Following the first analysis ofmitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) taken from the fossils from theNeanderValley,Germany,in1997,NationalGeographicconcludedthatNeanderthalsdidnotcontributesubstantiallytothemodernhumangenome.If the empirical evidence doesn’t support Darwin’s theory of evolution, what can account for our

THEWEALTHYCONTROLRESEARCHWoe be to those who attempt to argue against conventional thinking. According to many independentresearchers,thereappearstobeaconspiracyagainstanydiscoverythatconflictswithprevailingwisdom.Consider the fate of Thomas E. Lee of the National Museum of Canada. In the early 1950s, LeediscoveredsophisticatedstonetoolscaughtiniceonManitoulinIslandinLakeHuron.Thesetoolswereproven to be at least 65,000 years old and perhaps as old as 125,000 years, totally contradictingconventional theories concerning the date that such well-fashioned stone tools were first created.Followinghisdiscovery,Leeclaimedhewas“hounded”fromhisposition,hisworkwasmisrepresented,andnoonewouldpublishhisfindings.Mostoftheartifactshefound“vanished”intostoragebins,andthemuseumdirectorwasfiredforrefusingtodischargeLee.“The treatment of Lee was not an isolated case,” noted Cremo and Thompson in Forbidden

Archeology. “There exists in the scientific community a knowledge filter that screens out unwelcomeevidence.Thisprocessofknowledgefiltrationhasbeengoingonforwelloveracenturyandcontinuesright up to the present day.” One particularly exasperated researcher recently wrote, “Realize, thatscientific institutions, such as the Smithsonian and theNationalGeographic Society, are set up by theworld’selitefactionsinthefirstplacetoeitherdebunk,distortorsimplyignoreanyscientificdatathattendstoenlightenpeopleabouttheirtrueorigins.”MichaelCremosaidhesawinscienceevidenceofbothmisfeasanceandmalpractice.“Youcanfind

manycaseswhereit’s justanautomaticprocess.It’s justhumannature thatapersonwill tendtorejectthings that don’t fit in with his particular world view,” he said.

academicians who play the ‘origins of Man’ game, reluctantly and only occasionally acknowledgeinstanceswhereuniqueskeletalandculturalevidencefromtheprehistoricrecordsuddenlyappearlongbefore they should and in places where they should not.

theories. Instead of challenging the status quo, it soon became much more prudent for the aspiringarchaeologistoranthropologisttosimplyignoreordismissanyunorthodoxdata.Suchattitudesareinfullforcetoday.

Did such distortion in the sciences come about by some flaw in the natural evolution of scientificinquiry? The record indicates a conscious effort to derail true scientific investigation by a clique ofwealthy and powerful people. “For a brief period during the late 1920s and early 1930s,Rockefellerphilanthropies flirted with, and ultimately abandoned, the field of anthropology,” notes anthropologistKevin Jones-Kern of Bowling Green State University. “During those crucial years and through theirmodestgrants,however,theydramaticallyaffectedthecourseofanthropology.”The Rockefellers, along with other wealthy and elite American families, such as the Mellons,

Carnegies, and Gettys, gained unequaled control over many of the nation’s largest universities boththroughdirectgrantsand through their foundations.Butwith theapproachofWorldWar II, these fundsbegan to dry up, and certain types of scientists, such as anthropologists, foundno jobs available upongraduation.Therewerefewteacheropeningsandevenfewerfundedopportunitiesforfieldwork.Thosewho did find work with colleges and corporations were limited in what and how they investigated.“Relativelymunificentfundingforthesocialsciencescontinuedafterthispoint,butinamorecontrolledand directed manner. One of the casualties of this restructuring was the already limited Rockefellersupportforanthropology,”statedJones-Kern.“AlthoughtheRockefellerFoundationgaveonlyhalf-heartedattentiontothefieldofanthropology,the

repercussionsofitsrelativelymodestinvolvementwereprofoundandlong-lasting.Fromsponsorshipandpublicationofclassicresearchstudies,tothetrainingofagenerationofethnologists,tothesolidificationof sturdy university departments that trained future generations of anthropologists, the RockefellerFoundation greatly affected the course of the field spurned in 1934,”wrote Jones-Kern. “Thus,whileBeardsleyRuml,EdmundDay,SydnorWalkerandtheirpeersquietlyworkingattheNewYorkofficesofthe Rockefeller Foundation are not generally recognized as important figures in the history of theanthropology,perhapstheyshouldbe,”heconcluded.Ofcourse,ifonehelpscreatesomething,thanonehassomedegreeofcontroloverthatthing.Some indicationof thepowerof these families in scientific investigationmaybe found in the listof

foundingmembers and presidents of theNational ScienceBoard, the governing board of theNationalScienceFoundation,whosemembers serve as policy advisers to theU.S.Congress and the president:ChesterI.Barnard(RockefellerFoundation),DetlevW.Bronk(RockefellerUniversity),CharlesDollard(CarnegieCorporationofNewYork),andH.GuyfordStever(CarnegieMellonUniversity).One example of subtle control over research is the fact that even as the study of humanDNAwas

becoming more established and accepted, there was in academia a subtle persuasion away fromincorporating deep DNA research in archaeological studies. Instead, emphasis was placed on usingcarbondatingandtheconventionalcategorizationofartifactsintoapredefinedevolutionaryline,usuallybeginningtwomillionyearsorearlier.Inaddition,institutionshavelimitedpaleoanthropologytothestudyofhominidsatleastamillionyears

Johanson was involved in strange entanglements with the wealthy Getty family.

paleoanthropologist associate of Johanson] atUCB and soon joined [Johanson’s excavation]team.ShebecameanoutspokensupporterofWhiteand,duringtripstoEthiopia(inherprivateBoeing 727), was in a position to make large donations to the National Museum, winninginfluence in the Ethiopian government. Worse for Johanson, Mr. Getty was the IHO’s [TheInstituteofHumanOrigins,whichfundedthemajorityofJohanson’sproject] largest financialdonorandamemberof itsboard.InApril1994,Gettyabruptlywithdrewhissupport fromtheinstitute, charging Johansonwithmismanagement of funds and personnel.

Evethesis,whichproposedthatallmodernhumanracesdivergedrecentlyfromasinglepopulationwhileolder human species, such as Neanderthal and Homo erectus, became extinct. Mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA)aregenesthatsitinthemitochondria,theenergy-producingorganelleswithineachcell,notinthenucleus,andarepassedfrommothertochild.Aftercomparingpeopleofdifferentracialbackgrounds,Wilsonandhiscoworkersconcludedthatallmodernhumansevolvedfromone“luckymother”inAfricaabout150,000yearsago.SomewitshavesuggestedthatperhapshernamewasLucy.ThisfindingmayprovemostsignificantinlightoftheancientSumeriantaleofthecreationofman.The implications ofWilson’s proposalwere extreme: thatmodern humans suddenly evolved from a

singleAfricanpopulationroughlytwohundredthousandtothreehundredthousandyearsago.Accordingto geneticistMark Stoneking, one ofWilson’s former students, the theory then posits that we “spread

acrossandoutofAfricabetween50,000and100,000yearsagoand replacedcompletely,withoutanyinterbreeding,thearchaicpopulationsfromearliermigrationsfromAfrica.TheevidenceinfavorofthishypothesisisthefactthattheearliestfossilsofanatomicallymodernhumanscomefromAfrica,andthatearlymodernhumanfossilsfromregionsoutsideAfricatendtobemoresimilartothosefromAfricathantoarchaichumanfossilsfromthesameregion.”There were attacks and recriminations among the scientists, but eventually Wilson and Sarich’s

evolutionary worldview prevailed. Stoneking has since explained the underlying causes for science’sconcurrenceontheissue.

Ultimately,thecontroversywasresolvednotthroughrhetoricbut,ofcourse,throughadditionaldataandanalyses.Theresultingviewofourrelationshiptootherapes,whichiswidelyacceptedtoday… is remarkably similar to the results that Sarich andWilson publishedmore than 40yearsago:namely, thatweshareacloserelationshipwithAfricanapes,havingdiverged fromthemonlyapproximately5–7millionyearsago.…Onecanseethesamelogicatworkhereaswiththeearlyincorrectviewsaboutourrelationshipswithapes:namely,thedesiretosee“us”asspecial—where“us”nowreferstoEuropeans—comparedwithothergroups,becauseittookalongtimeforustobecomesospecial.

Despite the mitochondrial Eve’s attack on our preconceptions of widespread human evolution,Stonekinghassuggestedthatnothinghascontradictedthethesissinceitwaspresented.“AllanalysesofmtDNA variation in contemporary human populations basically agree: she lived in Africa roughly150,000–200,000yearsago,andmodernhumansthenbeganspreadingacrossandoutofAfricabetween50,000and100,000yearsago,withnoevidence thatanyarchaic,non-AfricanpopulationscontributedtheirmtDNA tous—aview that is remarkably similar to thatwhichwepublishedmore than20yearsago.”Ina2011article,Stoneking reminded readershowconventional science treatsunwelcomeevidence.

“Theidealizedviewofscienceandscientistsholdsthatwhendatacontradicttheory,nomatterhowlongor howwell that theory has performed, scientistsmust reject the old theory and come upwith a newexplanation to account for the new data.

REMOTEVIEWINGHUMANORIGINSThe idea of early intervention from off planet is not relegated to academics and book writers.

It stated, “Takeon the tipof aknife thecontentsof theinflammation,injectitintothearmofaman,mixingitwithhisblood.Afeverwillfollowbutthemaladywill pass very easily and will create no complications.” This was some 3,500 years before BritishscientistEdwardJennerwascreditedwithdevelopingthesmallpoxvaccinationinthe1800s.MapsbyTurkishadmiralPiriReisdatingfrom1513andstillavailableat thelibraryof theTopkapi

In a letter dated July 6, 1960,Air Forcecolonel Harold Z. Ohlmeyer of the Eighth Reconnaissance Tactical Squadron of the Strategic AirCommand stated, “The geographic detail shown in the lower part of the [Piri Reis]map agrees veryremarkablywith the results of the seismic profilemade across the topof the ice-capby theSwedish-BritishAntarcticExpeditionof1949.Thisindicatesthecoastlinehadbeenmappedbeforeitwascoveredby the ice-cap.” The discovery of ice-encased Cenozoic unicellular algae in 1983 indicated thatAntarcticamayhavebeenatleastpartlyfreeoficeaslateasthreemillionyearsago.

The late professor Charles Hapgood, who taught the history of science at Keene College in NewHampshire, advanced the theory in 1953 that Antarctica may have moved farther south by some twothousandmilesdueto“Earth-crustdisplacement”andthereforecouldhavebeenpartiallyfreeoficeuntilaslateas4000BC.Thisisstillathousandyearsbeforetraditionalacademicsbelievethatthefirsttruecivilizations of Egypt and Sumer with their seafaring explorers began. The idea that someone hadaccuratelymappedanice-freeAntarcticainprehistorictimespaledbesidethefactthatPiriReis’s1513mapalsodepictedthecorrectpositionoftheFalklandIslands,notdiscovereduntil1592,andtheriversofSouthAmerica—theOrinoco,Amazon,Paraná,Uruguay,andothersnotfullycharteduntiltheadventofsatellites.

VonDäniken concluded that Piri Reis’s sourcedocumentsmayhavebeendrawnfromaerialphotographs.Ofcourse,thethoughtthatsomeonemayhaveflownoverAntarcticaandSouthAmericaprior to4000BCcannotbe seriouslyconsideredwithin thecontext of traditional history. Such evidence drove both Hapgood and his student, author GrahamHancock, to speculate that a previouslyunknownandvery advanced civilization existed inprehistorictimes.Neitherman appearedwilling to publicly postulate that such a civilizationmight have been theresultofextraterrestrialcontact,yettheevidenceforthissuppositioncontinuestogrow.

HOARYSTRUCTURESMany ancient monuments attest civilizations existing long before accepted history.

Naturally, there iscontroversyoverboththenatureandcreationofthespheres.One,forexample,hasthreeparallelgroovesarounditsequator.Conventional geologists, such as Paul V.

indicates they are “natural concretions that are pseudomorphs after original pyrite concretions.” Heconcludedthatthespheresareentirelynaturalandadded,“Themisidentificationofnaturalobjectsastheby-productsof‘intelligentdesign’ isanimportant lessonthatneedstobelearnedbymanyfringegroupmembers.”Others are not as certain as Heinrich of the spheres’ natural origins. Roelf Marx, curator of the

KlerksdorpMuseum,has stated,“Thespheresareacompletemystery.They lookman-made,yetat thetimeinEarth’shistorywhentheycametorestinthisrocknointelligentlifeexisted.They’renothinglikeIhaveeverseenbefore.”Evenstrangerwas theexplanationofDouglasJamesCottrell, a trancepsychicsimilar to the famous

EdgarCayce.Duringone session, hewas asked about theKlerksdorp spheres.He stated that they are“sighting instruments,” similar to tape recorders, created by extraterrestrials to pass along informationfrom oneworld to another via subtle energy vibrations.

THEANCIENTEGYPTIANSHAVEALWAYSBEENTHOUGHTOFASbeingstrangelyadvancedfortheirtime.RenéAdolpheSchwallerdeLubicz,aphilosopherwhostudiedthetemplesatmodernLuxor(ancientThebes)for fifteen years, found that the early Egyptians had implemented a mathematical constant called thegoldensection,orgoldenratio.ThoughthegoldenratiowasoriginallyattributedtotheGreeks,itseemsthat atThebes theEgyptians applied itwithgreat complexity and sophistication.Thegolden ratio is amathematicalratiobetweentwocomponentssuchthatthelargeristhesameproportionofthewholeasthe smaller is of the larger. In art and architecture, it creates an eye-pleasing proportion. Artists,architects, engineers, andothers haveused it through theyears.The fact that ancientEgyptians used itdemonstrates knowledge of mathematics long before the Greeks and Pythagoras. What prompted thisancientknowledgeandtechnicalprowess?

THEOSIRIONAboutfiftymilesdowntheNilefromThebes,inAbydos,theearlycapitalofdynasticEgypt,sitstheNewKingdom temple of Seti I,where the golden ratiowas applied. The temple is perhaps the finest builtduring Egypt’s Nineteenth Dynasty (1298–1197 BC). Behind the temple and far below, an amazingmegalithic structure called the Osirion (sometimes spelled Osireion) protrudes into the desert. Thestructure,withitsgiganticpostsandlintelstoneblocks,looksforalltheworldlikeabetter-constructedStonehenge, as its stones are smooth andwonderfully aligned in comparison to theworn andpartiallycollapsedEnglishlandmark.TheOsirionwasdiscoveredin1902bytheBritishteamofarchaeologistWilliamFlindersPetrieand

EgyptologistandanthropologistMargaretAliceMurray.SomeconventionalEgyptologistsarguedthattheOsirionwasjustanotherpartofSeti’stemple,butMurrayknewbetter.Ina1903report,shestatedthat“wehadfoundabuildingwhichhasnoknowncounterpartinEgypt.”BecauseanumberofthecartouchesofMerneptah,whosucceededRamsesII,werefoundatthesite,onehypothesisofferedupwasthattheOsirionwasthepharaoh’stomb,despitethefactthatnofunerarymaterialsnorbodywerefound.Murraycounteredthisideabystating,“ThereisnotombevenamongtheTombsoftheKingsthatislikeitinplan,none having the side chamber leading off the Great Hall. Then, again, no tomb has ever been foundattachedtoatemple;theconverseisoftenthecase,Imeanatempleattachedtoatomb…”SomethoughtMerneptahhadmerelytakenpossessionofastructuretherelongbeforehim.“The other hypothesis was that this was the building for the special worship of Osiris and the

KlausSchmidtagreed that theT-shapedpillarsofGöbekliTepemay representmythicalcreaturesoreven ancient gods.Such speculation supports theSumerian tablets,which state that agriculture, animalhusbandry,andweavingwerebrought tomankindbyancientSumeriandeities.GöbekliTepesitsat theheart of places frombiblicalmythology, andmany nearby locations are clearlymentioned inGenesis.Turkeybordersnorthern Iraq,placing it inproximity to the sourceof theMesopotamian legendsof theAnunnaki,visitorswhocamefromtheheavens.TheTurkish townSanliurfa,which isclose toGöbekliTepe,wasonceknownasthecityofUrKaśdim.SomebelieveitmaybementionedintheOldTestamentasthehometownofthepatriarchAbraham.It is fascinating tonote thatGöbekliTepewasnot lost in the sandsof time,butdeliberatelyburied,

In one corner are threemassiveblocks,knownasthetrilithon,eachmorethansixty-twofeetlongandweighinganestimated800tons.Nearby isyet another stoneblockalmosteighty feet in lengthandweighing1,100 tons.A formercurator at Baalbek, Michel Alouf, said of these blocks, “In spite of their immense size, they are soaccurately placed in position and so carefully joined, that it is almost impossible to insert a needlebetween them.Nodescriptionwillgiveanexact ideaof thebewilderingandstupefyingeffectof thesetremendousblocksonthespectator.”Since it has become apparent that the gigantic stone blocks under Baalbek far predate Roman

Heliopolis, the question arises of how could a primitive people move such weight?

In 1996,author Alan F. Alford asked representatives of Baldwins Industrial Services, a leading constructioncompany, if they could move the thousand-ton Baalbek stone and place it at the same height as thetrilithon.“Althoughit issometimesclaimedthatmoderncranescannot liftstonesasheavyas800tons, this is

After hearing other plausible explanations as to how Baldwins might achieve the movement andplacementofsuchamassivestoneblock,Alfordnoted,“Thisisallveryinteresting,andgivesussomefeel for the scale of the engineering challenge, but there is, of course, one slight problem with theBaldwinsscenario,namelythatnoneofthistwentiethcenturytechnologywassupposedlyavailablewhenBaalbekwasbuilt.”Noting that not oneRoman emperor ever claimed credit for theBaalbek temple complex or for the

COSMICWARJoseph P. Farrell also believes the pyramids were power sources, and he has even taken Dunn’sconclusionsastepfurther.Inaseriesofbooks,Farrellpostulatedthatintheremotepast,thepoweroftheGreatPyramidwasusedasaweaponinagreatcosmicwar thatencompassedourentiresolarsystem.After calling attention to a huge gouge on Mars, Farrell stated, “Certainly impacts from comets andmeteorshaveoccurredandcanwreakuntolddestructionontheplanetarybodiesthatendurethem.Butsocanwarsfoughtwithweaponsofsufficientpowertoscarwholeregions.…”Farrell’s thesis received strong support in2011with thepublicationofLifeandDeathonMarsby

JohnBrandenburg, senior propulsion scientist at theOrbital Technologies Corporation and one of theearlyresearchersontheCydoniaproject,aprivatestudyofthestrangemonumentsonMars.Brandenburgstates that Mars was actually earthlike for most of its geologic history. It contained a massive andevolvingbiospherebutexperiencedamysteriousandastonishingnuclearcatastrophe.Hoagland also saw the asteroid belt as an exploded planet, a notion entertained by many. “What

mechanismcanexplainwhyplanetsshouldsuddenlyexplode?Theproblemisnotasmallone,norwillitgoaway,”saidHoagland.Farrell’sscenario isnotas implausibleas itmaysoundon thesurface.ThenotableastronomerTom

Van Flandern, referring to the possibility of an exploded planet, stated, “This speculative possibilitymight result frommagnetic separation and storage of the antimatter in a planet over billions of yearsbefore theexplosion;or fromsomesortofchain-reactionhigh-energyantimattergenerationprocess;orfromtheinterventionofintelligentbeings.Inmyopinion,thelastpossibilityshouldnotbedismissedoutofhand.”Farrellnoted,“VanFlandernisgingerlyanddelicatelyimplyingthathisexplodedplanetsmighthave been blownup in deliberate acts ofwar.Yet… it is precisely thismodel that the abundance ofancienttextsactuallysupports!”After listing thepreviouslymentioned strange formationson themoon,Mars, andelsewhere,Farrell

hasstatedthattheseanomaliesare“veryreal,veryartificialstructuresthatarenomeremetaphors.Thisimplies,howeverunbelievableitmayseem,thatthewarwasalsoreal,thatitwasinterplanetary,andthatithappenedmillenniaago.”Farrellwenton to theorize that thiswardevastated theEarth, reducing thepopulation toaprimitive

PYRAMIDSASSTARMAPSSymbologistWayneHerschelbelievesthattheGreatPyramid,amongothermonuments,providesamaptothestars.ProceedingfromtheconclusionsofRobertBauvalandAdrianGilbert’s1994work,TheOrionMystery,HerschelbelievesthattheGizaPlateaupyramidsreflectedtheconstellationOrion,whichwassaid tobe thehomeofrebornpharaohs.Bauvalhaddetermined that theconfigurationof the threeGizapyramids—two in linewhile the third isoffset—indeedmatched theconfigurationofOrion’sstarsand

that a small tunnel or air shaft inside theGreat Pyramid alignedwith the star cluster ofOrion’s belt.Shockingly,BauvalandGilbertrealizedthatthearrangementoftheGizapyramidsreflectedthepositionofOrionasitwouldhaveappearedabouttheyear10,450BC—adatethatisconsistentwiththegrowingbodyof evidence suggesting that theGreatPyramidwasbuilt thousands of years beforeweoriginallythought.Inhisgraphics-laden2003book,TheHiddenRecords,Herschel presented seven years of research,

which showed that a wide variety of pyramids, temples, and ancient texts worldwide all representedmaps of the stars that served as the original homes of our progenitors. Studying a number of primarysources, including fifty starmaps foundaround theworld,Herschelconcluded that the“gods”ofearlyhumansoriginatedfromothersolarsystemsandtheirsunwasdepictedonstarmapsleftonEarth.BritishauthorColinAndrewshasofferedanalternateexplanationforBauval,Gilbert,andHerschel’s

pyramid configurations. Andrews has argued that while the threeGiza pyramids do resembleOrion’sBelt, they don’t match it exactly. However, the constellation Cygnus does precisely match the GizaPlateau’s layout. In fact, every star of the Cygnus constellation matched an Egyptian structure on theoverlaymap,exceptforthestarDeneb.Hespeculatedthatsomethingheretoforeunknownmustbeatthatlocation.Supportingeachoftheseresearchers’hypotheses,anewtombwithanine-foot-longsarcophaguswas

discovered in Egypt in 1999, considered by Egyptian antiquities minister Zahi Hawass to be the“symbolic”tomboftheancientgodOsiris.“ItisatleastinterestingthatthetombofOsiriswaslocateddirectlyunderwhere thestarDeneb…strikes theGizaPlateau,”notedUFOradiocommentatorKevinSmith.“ItisinterestingbecauseitratherindicatesthatthefactthattheGizaPlateauandtheconstellationCygnusmatchisnotanaccident.NotonlydoestheconstellationCygnusmatchthelayoutofthepyramids,butitmarkstheprecisespotwhereOsiris’tomblaydeepundertheground.”Though thediscoveryofOsiris’s tombwasan incredible find,Smithnoted that therewas something

He explained that the ruin to the south of the Sphinx had been slightly offset to avoidprotrudingintotheNile.Otherthanthat,thepositionsofthepyramidswereaperfectrepresentationofthestarsystems.“It can be saidwith a certain amount of finality that all the pyramid starmaps you have evidenced

Agartha,Thule,Shambhala,Shangri-La, andCibolaare just a fewof thenames tossedout referring toancientlostcivilizations.ButthemostfamousoftheseisAtlantis,anamereveredbystudentsofthemetaphysicalandreviledby

member of England’s Invisible College, which claimed access to the “Underground Stream ofKnowledge,” referred to newly found America as the New Atlantis. In recent years, theorists havedevised all sorts of hypotheses as to howAtlantis came to be andwhere it ended up, but the famousphilosopherPlatowasthefirsttointroducetheconceptofthelostcity.Heclaimedtohaveobtainedhisknowledgepasseddown throughhis family fromhisancestorSolon,who in turnhadobtained itwhilelivinginEgypt.InthedialogueTimaeusin360BC,PlatowroteofagreatwarbetweenancientGreeksandAtlantis,“amightypower”spanningtheglobe“whichwasaggressingwantonlyagainstthewholeofEuropeandAsia.…”

Notice thatPlato referred toa continentoppositeAfricaandEurope.This is clear evidence that theAmericancontinentswereknownasfarbackasPlato’stime,fourcenturiesbeforethebirthofJesusandwaybeforeconventionalhistoryhasstatedthat theywerediscoveredbyLeifErikssonandChristopherColumbus.HowdidAtlantiscometobe?Plato,writingthroughthewordsofCritias,offeredthisexplanation,“I

And Poseidon[comparable to the Anunnaki Enki, known as the lord of waters], receiving for his lot the island ofAtlantis, begat children by a mortal woman, and settled them in a part of the island, which I willdescribe.”WhilemostpeopletodaystillconsiderAtlantisamyth,others,includingnineteenth-centuryAmerican

congressmanIgnatiusDonnelly,tookPlato’swordsas“veritablehistory,”claimingAtlantiswastheplacewhere humankind first rose from barbarism to civilization. Donnelly considered that the “gods andgoddesses of the ancientGreeks, the Phoenicians, theHindus, and the Scandinavianswere simply thekings,queens,andheroesofAtlantis,andtheactsattributedtotheminmythology,aconfusedrecollectionofrealhistoricalevents.”HealsosaidEgyptwastheoldestcolonyofAtlantisanditscivilization,whichalongwiththatoftheMayansofCentralAmericarepresentedaprimitivereproductionoftheAtlanteanculture.BothinAtlantisandinCentralandSouthAmerica,goldwasextensivelyminedandtreasured,notforanyintrinsicvalue,butforitsassociationwithelder“gods.”ButmanyeventodaydismissAtlantisasmeremythandlegendsparkedbyPlato’swritings.Apparently,

they failed to notice that many authors of classical literature, such as Proclus, Diodorus, Plutarch,Posidonius,Strabo,andPliny,allmadereferencestoAtlantis.Inrecentyears,avarietyofothertheoriesastothelocationofAtlantishavebeenadvanced.Basedon

Plato’s description, and assuming the “Pillars of Heracles” refers to the Strait of Gibraltar, mostresearchers believeAtlantiswas located in themiddle of theAtlanticOcean betweenAfrica and theAmericas. In the 1920s, the “sleeping prophet,” Edgar Cayce, sawAtlantis as a continent-size regionextending from the Azores to the Bahamas, with ships and aircraft powered by a mysterious form ofenergycrystal.CaycepredictedthatportionsofAtlantiswouldbefoundinmoderntimes.In 2010, geologists working with seismic data collected by oil companies discovered buried deep

thenameAtlantisbegantobebattedaboutinthemediaandcorporateAmericabecameinvolved,thetonechangedtodisbelief.R. Cedric Leonard, author of Quest for Atlantis, along with J. Manson Valentine of the Science

Museum ofMiami, in 1970 studied a structure near theBahamas island ofAndros called theAndrosTemple. This structure measured approximately sixty feet wide and a hundred feet in length withcrumbling stone walls roughly three feet thick. “This is clearly an edifice of importance built by amathematically sophisticated civilization,” he wrote. Leonard soon learned that the North AmericanRockwell Corporation, which had substantial land holdings on Bimini, had been granted exclusiveexcavation rights on all the underwater ruins in the area of Bimini Island. “Soon after, they hired ageologist with previous experience in the area. …” According to Leonard, [journalist Robert Marxreported]“that theinvestigationwas‘brief,’andthat thegeologistdidn’tevengointothewaterforthe‘scientific’inspection.…Thehiredgeologistannouncedshortlyafterthatthewallswerenotman-madeandthatthecolumnswerenothingmorethan‘ballast’fromashipwreck.”The National Geographic Society eventually entered the picture, sponsoring an investigation by

University of Miami geologist John Gifford, who carbon-dated the age of the giant stones as fifteenthousandyears old.Marine engineerDimitriRebikoff, as far back as 1969, had stated that theBiminiRoad is identical to numerous ancient man-made harbors discovered throughout the Mediterranean.Rebikoff, who spentmuch time and energy diving at the site, firmly disagreedwith the skeptics whoclaimedthatthesitewasallnaturalformationsbecausetherewerenolevelingstonesunderneaththelargestoneblocksatBimini.Could these Caribbean ruins be the site of Atlantis? It’s hard to tell, mainly because so many

professional archaeologists and geologists have backed away from the project. “Once speculationconcerningAtlantisentersthepicture,professionalsbegintobackaway(andthewaytheyweretreatedbytheirowncolleagues,whocouldblamethem),”Leonardstated.Thosewhoinvolvedthemselveswithprojects related to thesitewereostracized,anddue to thereluctanceofqualifiedscientistswithin thisacademicenvironment,“thescientificcommunityisoverlookingsignificantandsoundevidence.”

THEMINOANEMPIREANDSANTORINIMorerecent theorieshaveplacedAtlantisatvariousMediterranean locations, includingCrete,Cyprus,andtheislandofSantorini(ancientThera).Inhis2011book,TheLostEmpireofAtlantis,authorGavinMenzies presented a cogent argument for the legend of Atlantis being simply a vague and garbledrecollectionof theMinoanEmpire,aBronzeAgeseafaringcivilizationcenteredon the islandofCreteandnamedforitslineofkings,collectivelynamedMinos.AccordingtoMenzies’sstudies,MinoanshipsrangedfromtheAmericastoIndia.Theirempireendedabout1500BCwiththegiganticeruptionofthevolcano on the island of Santorini, which sent millions of tons of volcanic ash into the atmosphere,producedintenseatmosphericshockwaves,andgenerateddisastroustsunamis.Menzieswrote of ingots of nearly pure copper found in a sunkenMinoan ship nearThera.Because

copper of this quality is found only near Lake Superior in North America, the Minoans clearly hadamazing range with their fleet of ships. Menzies also noted that the tobacco beetle, Lasiodermaserricorne,wasfoundinvolcanicashintheMinoantownofAkrotiri.ThisbeetleisonlyindigenoustotheAmericas.BecauseMenzieshasequatedtheMinoancivilizationwiththeAtlanteanEmpire,hebelievesthatthe

greatvolcaniceruptiononSantorinihelpedcreatethelegendofAtlantis.MuchlikethemythofAtlantis’sdestruction takenfromPlato, theresulting tidalwaves,deadlygaseousclouds, faminedue todestroyedcrops, and opportunistic pirate clans finished off the great Minoan Empire, leaving remarkably littlebehind.Yet thereareotherswhodisagreewithMenzies’sposition.R.CedricLeonardsaid thatMenziesand

otherswhobelieveMinoanEmpireandAtlantiswereoneandthesamehavemistakenlytracedAtlantisbacktotheBronzeAgeinsteadoftheIceAgeasdescribedbyPlato,whoplacedthetimeofAtlantisatabout 9600 BC. “By thus ‘miniaturizing’ it (both size-wise and time-wise), it has been made morepalatableformodernscientistsandscholarstoaccept,”saidLeonard.“PlatodescribesAtlantisashaving‘subjected the parts ofLibyawithin the columnsofHeracles as far asEgypt, andofEurope as far asTyrrhenia.’ The Minoan kings never conquered neither Europe nor North Africa. But archeologicalevidence isabundant indicating thatacohesive ‘megalithicculture’occupied thosevery sameareasofEurope and North Africa inMesolithic times (5,000–6,000 years before theMinoan empire began).”Moreover, the area ofAtlantis as described by Platowas far larger than that ascribed to theMinoanculture.

THESOUTHCHINASEAPhysicistJamesM.McCanney,whohasstudiedexoticenergysourcesreachingbacktoantiquity,placedAtlantisattheoppositeendoftheEarth.HecametobelievethatAtlantiswaslocatedintheSouthChinaSeapriortoashiftingofthepoles:“TheSouthChinaSea,beforetherotationofthepoleshift,wasaboutfivedegreessouthoftheEquator.IfyoutakeaglobeandyouputyourfingerwheretheoldNorthPoleusedtobe—northofthestateofMichigan—andyouputyourotherfingerontheglobeintheSouthIndianOcean—diametricallyopposed—andyou rotate thisEarth,you’ll find that theSouthChinaSea,whereAtlantiswas,ends-upjustafewdegreessouthoftheoldEquator.”McCanneywasheavilyinfluencedbytheBrazilianprofessorArysioNunesdosSantos,authorofAtlantis:TheLostContinentFinallyFound.Explainingtheirtheories,McCanneystated,“Inancienttimes,therewasnoPacificOceanbyname,andthewaterwayswerequiteabitdifferentthantheyarenowbecauseofthetiltoftheEarth.Itwasbeforeapoleshift.WhatwecalltheLaurentianIceShieldwasactuallytheoldNorthPole.Atthetime,SiberiahadatropicalclimatewithlargeherdsofMastodonsandvasttropicalplainsandforests.…Basically,themantle, the layer beneath the Earth’s crust, shifted by about 40 degrees.” He claimed that Plato’sreference to a “real sea” was to the Ocean of the Atlanteans, or the Atlantic Ocean, which, inprecataclysmictimes,stretchedunimpededbynorthernicefromtheSouthChinaSeaeastwardacrossthePacifictothepresentAtlantic.AndthePillarsofHerculesdidnotrefertotheStraitofGibraltarbuttotheislandofKrakatoaanditssistervolcanothatsitsnowintheStraitofSunda,betweenSumatraandJava,theentranceintothechannelleadingtothemaincontinentofAtlantis.“TheancientGreeksdidn’tknowthattherewasallofthis—theNorthAmericancontinentandwhatwenowcallthePacific,whichwas,inancientdays,simplyonevastoceancalledtheAtlanticOcean,”explainedMcCanney.

Ina10,000-yearperiod theywouldhavebeenquiteadvanced,and learnedhow to livewiththeenvironmentwithoutdestroyingthemselvesandtheenvironment.

Austrian-born researcher andwriterRichAndershad an even stranger takeon the storyofAtlantis.NotingthatSolonstatedthatAtlantis“disappeared”ratherthansankintothesea,AnderspostulatedthatAtlantisvanished intoaparallelworld,anotherdimension, thusexplaining the lackofevidence for itsexistence.“Greek paintings show the sun in different positions. For thousands of years this planet has been

revolvingaroundanaxis.Clearly,thisisanindicationthatintheworldbeforetheplanetdidnotrevolvearound an axis,” explainedAnders. “Furthermore, the predecessors of theGreek, theHellenic people,knewofaplaceintheAtlanticcalledAea.Accordingtolegend,itsinhabitantsweretechnologicallyveryadvancedandtheydidnotfeardeath.Eithertheywereimmortalsortheyknewenoughaboutdeathnottofear it.Most importantly, though, itwas told thatoverAea thesunwasalways in themiddayposition.Thisisyetanotherindicationthataslongastheparallelworld,theparadise,existed,thisplanetdidnotrevolvearoundanaxis.”MuchlikeIgnatiusDonnelly,AndersbelievedtheAtlanteansweregods,exceptthatthey“didnotmake

Earth-crustdisplacement.Thesemenandtheirfollowerspointtothefactthatprehistoricanimalshavebeenfoundflash-frozenso

wellasthecatastrophismargumentthataonce-greatcivilizationdisappearedvirtuallyovernight.Maurice Chatelain, who made a detailed mathematical study of ancient sites and legends, wrote,

“Personally I amconvinced that the storyofAtlantis, asSolonheard it fromSonchisandasPlatohasgivenittous,istruefrombeginningtoendandthatsomedaytheruinsofAtlantiswillbefound,justasoneafteranotherwefoundtheoncelegendaryTroy,Mycenae,Tiryns,andKnossos.”

AWORLDWIDECIVILIZATIONWith Antarctica added to the list of places posited as the source of the Atlantis legend, the debatecontinued.Itappearsclear,however,thatregardlessofwhereitwaslocated,theevidenceindicatesthatawidespread and advanced civilization did indeed exist in prehistory.The evidence ofAtlantis lies allaboutus,unrecognizedforwhatitisbecauseofnarrow-mindedthinkingandconditioning.In1910,OxfordprofessorandNobellaureateFrederickSoddystated,“Someofthebeliefsandlegends

again, none arewrong. They all have a piece of the truth, which is that at one time, long before ourrecordedhistory,thereexistedonEarthaglobal,highlytechnologicalcivilizationthatfellintoruinduetonaturalcatastrophes,war,orboth.Many, including Professor Hapgood, have reached this same conclusion. He wrote, “The evidence

presentedbyancientmapsappearstosuggesttheexistenceinremotetimes,beforetheriseofanyknowncultures, of a true civilization, of an advanced kind, which either was localized in one area but hadworldwide commerce, or was, in a real sense, a worldwide culture. This culture, at least in somerespects,wasmoreadvancedthanthecivilizationsofGreeceandRome.”Early in the twentieth century,Charles Fort extended this hypothesis to include speculation that this

vanished culturewas the product of extraterrestrials.MauriceChatelain,whonotedhow the scientificknowledge of astronomy by ancient peoples, such as the Sumerians, was “far superior” to that ofastronomersonlythreehundredyearsago,wentsofarastostatethatallterrestrialcivilizationsevolvedfromthesamesourceandthiswas“someextraterrestrialsourceinhumanaffairsmanythousandsofyearsago.” He added, “This theory is already generally accepted by the public and also is considered apossibility by part of the scientific establishment, but it is difficult to get the official scientificestablishment toaccept this theorybecause itwould turnupsidedownall traditional scientificbeliefs.Nevertheless, this theory is trueandaccurate,because there isnoneother thatwouldbetterexplain thesuddenappearanceofintelligentmanandhisveryadvancedscientificknowledgesolongago.”

together to form the first humancivilizationwithin theTigris-EuphratesValley about 4000BC.Yet by3300BC,archaeologicalstudieshaveshownthatSumerianshaddrainedmarshes,dugcanals,constructeddams and dikes, and built a large-scale irrigation system next to gleaming cities containing hugepyramidalstructurescalledziggurats.Whatpromptedthissuddenspurtofcivilization?About2400BC,SumerwasinvadedfromthewestandnorthbySemitictribes,andbyabout2350BC

was captive to thewarrior king Sargon theGreat, who founded the SemiteAkkadianDynasty,whoseempire stretched from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean. After years of wars and populationdisplacements,thelandsofSumerwereunitedunderHammurabiofBabylon,who’sfamouscodeoflawsmayhavebeeninstitutedtodisciplinethemassmigrationsofpeopletakingplaceatthattimeduetowarsandgeophysicalcatastrophes.ItisnowclearthattheCodeofHammurabiwasdrawnfromlawssetdownby the Sumerians centuries earlier, particularly the earliest law code yet discovered, issued by theSumeriankingUr-Nammu.Virtually nothing was known about the Sumerians until about 150 years ago, when archaeologists,

spurredby the seventeenth-centurywritings of Italian travelerPietro dellaValle, began to dig into thestrangemounds that dotted the countryside in southern Iraq. In 1843, the Frenchman Paul-ÉmileBottadiscoveredSargonII’spalacenearmodern-dayKhorsabad,andsoonafter,archaeologistsfoundburiedcities,brokenpalaces,artifacts,andthousandsofclaytabletsdetailingeveryfacetofSumerianlife.Bythelate1800s,Sumerianwasconsideredanoriginallanguageandwasbeingtranslated.Despitetoday’sknowledge, thegeneralpublicstillhasbeentaught littleabout thisfirstgreathumancivilization,whichsuddenlymaterializedinMesopotamia.Beforeitstrangelyvanished,ithadgreatlyinfluencedlifeasfareastastheIndusRiverandasfarwest

as Palestine and Egypt. In fact, it would appear that civilizations such as those of the Akkadians,Phoenicians,Minoans,Assyrians,Babylonians,andeventheEgyptiansweremerelydevolvedversionsofancientSumer.Yet thepublichas longbelieved them tobe separate entities, an assumptionwhichhashinderedatruthfulunderstandingofhumanhistory.

CUNEIFORMTABLETSDespiteoursuperficialknowledgeoftheSumerians,wehavealreadybeenabletocreditthemwithmanyworld“firsts.”SamuelNoahKramer,authorofHistoryBeginsatSumerandTheSumerians,noted thatthesepeopledevelopedthewheel,schools,medicalscience,thefirstwrittenproverbs,history,thefirstbicameral congress, taxation, laws, social reforms, the first cosmogony and cosmology, and the firstmoney(aweighedsilvershekel),aswellasthefirstwritingsystem,cuneiform.

Sumerian cuneiformwritingmay revealmore to us about Sumerian culture thanwe know about theancientEgyptians,Greeks, andRomans.Thepapyrus papers of other elder empires disintegratedovertimeorweredestroyedbythefiresofwar,butcuneiformwasetchedontowetclaytabletswithawedge-shaped stylus. These tablets were then dried, baked, and kept in large libraries. About five hundredthousandof theseclay tabletshavenowbeen found,providing invaluableknowledgeofancientSumer(whichisnottobeconfusedwiththeBiblicalSamaria,thenameofamountain,city,andregionnorthofJerusalem).TheSumeriantabletswentundeciphereduntil1802,whenaGermanhighschoolteachernamedGeorg

Grotefend began systematically translating the trilingual Persian inscription ofDarius theGreat on theBehistun Rock, which included a version in Babylonian cuneiform. Today nearly eighty percent ofcuneiformtabletshavenotyetbeentranslatedintoEnglishbecausethesheerquantityhasoverwhelmedtheworld’shandfuloftranslators.The Sumerian alphabet was essentially shorthand for a much older original language made up of

logograms (symbols representing concepts rather than words) similar to antique Chinese characters.BecausethisolderlanguagewasnotasdetailedasEnglish,manydifferenttranslationsmaystemfromaSumeriansentence.

LONGEVITYANDNUMBERSOne ancient Sumerian document, known as the King List, described not their “gods” but the earliestSumerianrulersand the lengthsof their reigns.Atfirstglance, the listseemspreposterous,as itstates,“Afterthekingshipdescendedfromheaven,thekingshipwasinEridu.InEridu,Alulimbecameking;heruled for 28,800 years.”Other kings served even longer, according to the list. For example,Alalngarreignedfor36,000years,whileEn-men-lu-anaruledforanamazing43,200years.Such longevity is also recorded in theBible,whereinMethuseleh,Noah,Seth,Enos, andothers are

reported to have livedmore thannine hundredyears. InChina, rulers of the first dynasties each ruledmorethansevenhundredyears,whiletheHinduVedasstatethatpriorto3000BC,thelifespanwasaboutathousandyears.After theGreatFlood, thesenumbersbegan todecreaseuntilGilgameshruled foramere126years,

Sumerian creation based on their twelve “gods.” They used it to chart a great precessional cycle thatwould take 25,920 years to fully complete, a period known as the Platonic year. “The uncomfortablequestionwhich the scientists have avoided is this: how could the Sumerians, whose civilization onlylasted 2,000 years, possibly have observed and recorded a celestial cycle that took 25,920 years tocomplete?Andwhydidtheircivilizationbegininthemiddleofazodiacperiod?Isthisacluethattheirastronomywasalegacyfromthegods?”askedAlford.Hisquestioncouldbeenlargedtoquestionhowtheearlyprimitivehumansofalmostsixthousandyears

MYTHORHISTORY?It is difficult to believe that primitive humans acquired so much knowledge on their own overnight.Through thousandsof translatedSumerian tabletsalongwith their inscribedcylinderseals,perhapsweshouldallowtheSumeriansthemselvestoexplain.Theanswer, echoingclaims frommanyother ancientpeoples, is that all theirknowledgecame from

their “gods.” Scholars in the past believed the Sumerians were talking about ethereal and imaginarybeingsinthesky.Todayagrowingnumberofresearcherssuspecttheymightwellhavebeenreferringtophysical beingswhowould descend to earth,much like the gods of ancientGreece, such asZeus andAthena.“AlltheancientpeoplesbelievedingodswhohaddescendedtoEarthfromtheheavensandwhocould

scholarswouldnothavethoughtofspaceflightaspossible.Thus,Sitchinreasoned,“NowthatastronautshavelandedontheMoon,andunmannedspacecraftexploreotherplanets, it isnolonger impossible tobelieve that a civilization on another planet more advanced than ours was capable of landing itsastronautsontheplanetEarthsometimeinthepast.”Norisitimpossiblenowtoconsiderthebiological

THEANUNNAKI:IMPROVINGTHEBREED?

tablets.

THENEFILIMCHAINOFCOMMANDAccording to Sitchin’s interpretations of Sumerian texts, about 450,000 years ago, during Earth’sPleistoceneiceage,thehighlydevelopedinhabitantsofNibiru—theAnunnaki—journeyedtoEarthasthetwoplanetscame intoproximity.Their initial landingsweremade in thePersianGulf, justasourownastronautsatfirstsplasheddownintheocean.Logically,theseancientastronautswouldhavesoughtabasecampthatcouldprovidemoderateweather

officer. There was immediate and long-standing antagonism between the two half-brothers, due to

Nibirian protocol. As in later Earth dynasties, the firstborn, Enki, was relegated to secondary statusbecausehismotherwasnottheofficialwifeofAnu.Thisremovedhimfromtheroyallineofsuccession.YetitwasEnkiwholedthefirstexpeditiontoEarth.Enkiwasboth scientist andengineer.Underhis leadership, themarsheson thenorthern shoreof the

Reinforcements later arrived under the leadership of Enki’sfirstbornson,Marduk.There is no doubt that the Anunnaki were real and important. The prologue to the Lawcode of

SITCHIN’SCRITICSThetranslationsbySitchinandothershavegatheredmanydetractors,especiallyoverthedepictionoftheAnunnaki as extraterrestrials. Michael Heiser, who earned degrees in the Hebrew Bible and ancientSemitic languages and was one of Sitchin’s most vociferous critics, stated on his website,SitchinIsWrong.com,“thatwhatSitchinhaswrittenaboutNibiru,theAnunnaki,thebookofGenesis,theNephilim,andahostofotherthingshasabsolutelynobasisintherealdataoftheancientworld.”InanopenlettertoSitchin,nowaddressedto“AncientAstronautEnthusiast”followingSitchin’sdeath

in 2010, Heiser argued that the name Anunnaki appears nowhere in the Electronic Text Corpus ofSumerianLiteraturepublishedontheInternetbytheUniversityofOxford.Whiletechnicallythismaybetrue,thetermAnunagodsappearsnumeroustimesintheliteratureand

obviouslycouldbecollectivizedintothepluraltermAnunnaki.OneexampleofthistermfromtheOxfordSumeriantextsrecountstheboastsofEnki,whoproclaimed,“WithAntheking,onAn’sdais,Ioverseejustice.WithEnlil, lookingoutover the lands, Idecreegooddestinies.Hehasplaced inmyhands thedecreeingof fates in theplacewhere thesun rises.

IamnamedwithagoodnamebyNinhursaga.IamtheleaderoftheAnunagods.IwasbornasthefirstbornsonofholyAn.”Naturally,noreputablescientistwhodesirestoprotectconventionaltextbooksandhisfundingsources

would publicly admit to subscribing to Sitchin’s theories, yetmany thousands have followedSitchin’swork,someresearchersaugmenting thedetailsofhisnarrative.Author,psychologist,andministerPaulVonWardspokeformanywhenhewrote,“AlthoughIdonotagreewithhiscosmology…hiselucidationof historical details and connection of them to other fields of knowledge stand up under comparativereviewwiththeworkofotherscholars.Hissummaryofinformationrelatingtothe‘oldengods’knowninSumeria as theAnunnaki presents a cohesive and defensiblemixture of textualmaterial and judiciousinterpretation.”C.L.Turnage,anauthorwhohasstudiedmorethanthreehundredtranslationsofancientMesopotamian

andVedicwritings,includingtheextrabiblicalBookofEnoch,wrote,“Afterstudying[Sitchin’s]theory,Ibeganmyowncontemplationof thepre-biblicalBabylonianEpicofCreationorEnumaElish. It was

fromastudyofthisnarrativethatSitchinbecameawareoftheplanetNibiruanditsestablishmentwithinour own solar system.This talewas originallywritten on seven clay tablets, each corresponding to a‘day’ of creation. … The creation of man was recorded on the sixth tablet, while the seventh wasreservedfortheexaltationoftheBabyloniannationaldeityMarduk,the‘creatorgod.’Aftermyownstudyof these chronicles, I concurredwith Sitchin’s findings. It does appear that the first three chapters ofGenesis,particularlythesevendaysofcreation,wereactuallyderivedfromtheoldercreationepic,andotherchronicles—thenrevampedtomeetHebrewtheology.WhywouldtheHebrewsborrowthecreationstoryfromolderMesopotamiantexts?WasitbecausetheyworshippedoneoftheMesopotamiandeitiesthemselves?”

ANEARLYGOLDRUSHOverthousandsofyearsEarthtime,accordingtotheSumeriannarrative,theAnunnakicontinuedtoputathrivingcolonyinplace,andtheirattentionturnedtotheirprimaryobjective—gold.Some researchers have composed elaborate metaphysical explanations for Anunnaki activities on

In fact, inApril 2009, PresidentObama’s science adviser, John P. Holdren, publicly suggested that heavy-metal“pollutants” be sprayed into the upper atmosphere to create a heat shield to retard perceived “globalwarming.”Butwhen theAnunnaki attempted to retrievegold from thePersianGulfbyanextractionprocess, it

proved inefficient and time-consuming.Anu, alongwithhis heirEnlil, visited the colonyand assignedEnkitofindmoregold.EnlilwasplacedinoverallcommandoftheEarthcolonywhileEnkiledaforaytoAfricaandeventuallytoSouthAmerica,wherehesetupgold-miningoperations.Proofofsuchearlygoldmininghascomefromscientificstudiesconductedfor theAnglo-AmericanCorporation,a leadingSouth African mining company, in the 1970s. According to South African author Michael Tellinger,company scientists discovered evidence of thousands of ancientmining operations, some dated as farbackas100,000BC.SimilarancientmineexcavationshavebeenfoundinCentralandSouthAmerica.They indicate that theAnunnakiminingeffortswereworldwideandmaygo far inexplaining theearlydiffusionofhumans.Further substantiation of suchwide-ranging travelmay be found by comparing the names of ancient

Mesopotamian cities and localities as recorded by the second-century AD geographer Ptolemy tocounterpartsforgold-miningsitesinCentralAmerica:

male and female, although at this time theywere incapable of reproduction and lived very short livescompared to theAnunnaki.Thiswas apparently done in a conscious effort to prevent any competitionfromthenewhumanrace.Itisinterestingtonotethat,accordingtoGenesis3:5,theveryfirstorderoftheElohimwasthatman—intheallegoricalformofAdamandEve—wastoremainignorant,lest“yeshallbeasgods”(KingJamesVersion).The“laboratory”whichproducedthefirstAdamaswascalledShi-im-ti,or“thehousewherethewind

TheAnunnaki had to constantly

create new batches, a time-consuming procedure considering the span of time between in vitrofertilization andbirth. SoEnki andNinhursag set about to create anAdama race that could reproduceitself.Genesis2:8–15makesitclearthattheAdamaswerecreatedelsewhereandthenplacedintheGarden

ofEden,or that areaof theoriginalAnunnakicolonycalledE-din,describedas theplainbetween theTigrisandEuphratesrivers.TheSumeriantextsrelatehowanenviousEnlilraidedEnki’sAfricanlabandreturnedwithcaptivestoE-din,wheretheywereputtoworkproducingfoodandservingtheAnunnaki.IthasbeentheorizedthatinretaliationforEnlil’sraidonhisAfricanlab,EnkitraveledtoEden,wherehecreated a human-reproduction lab for Enlil but secretlymanipulated the genetic code to allow sexualreproduction.Although theSumerian textsdescribing thedetailsof thisprocesshavebeeneither lostorareasyet

undiscovered, researchers have assumed that the procedure involved obtaining life-producing AdamaDNA,possiblybyextractingaribwhilethesubjectwasunderanesthesia.ThistimethemaleAdama’sDNAwascombinedwith a femaleAdama rather thananAnunnaki, possiblywith someaccompanyingDNA-sequencecuttingandsplicing,aprocedurewithintheabilitiesofourtechnologytoday.TheresultwasamaleAdamawiththeabilitytoreproducethroughsexwithanAdamafemale,or to

“know”awoman,as theBibleeuphemisticallyputs it.ThemanAdamhadgained the“knowledge”ofreproduction,afactthatmanyElohim/Anunnaki,includingEnlil,deplored.Theycomplainedthatnextthehumanswouldwanttoliveaslongastheythemselves.“Themanhasnowbecomelikeoneofus,knowinggoodandevil,”reportedGenesis3:22(NewInternationalVersion).“Hemustnotbeallowedtoreachouthis hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” Therefore, DNAmanipulationdrasticallyreducedthehumanlifespanalongwiththeabilitytomakefulluseofhumanbraincapacity.Suchmanipulationmayexplainthetelomeres,capsontheendsofthehumanchromosomes.Thesecaps,

something like the protective caps on shoelaces, after a certain length of time prevent cells fromreproducing, leading to oxidation, aging, and eventually death.No one knows for certain how orwhythesecapswereplacedintheDNA,buttheypreventextendedlife.Furthermore,in2011,researchersatJohnsHopkinsUniversityannouncedthattelomereshorteningislinkedtodiabetes,cancer,lungdisease,andotherage-relatedillnesses.With the ability to reproduce, thehumanpopulation exploded, both in the far-flungAnunnakimining

perhaps predictable.Genesis 6:1–4 related, “Whenmen began to increase in number on the earth anddaughterswereborntothem,thesonsofGod[theNefilim/Anunnaki]sawthatthedaughtersofmenwerebeautiful,andtheymarriedanyofthemtheychose.…TheNefilimwereontheearthinthosedays—and

also afterward—when the sonsofGodwent to thedaughtersofmenandhadchildrenby them” (NewInternationalVersion).Apparently, the termNefilimwas applied to both pureAnunnaki and their laterhybridoffspring.Over the centuries, the Adama race, in addition to such interbreeding, was the object of continued

them to remain on Earth.With floodwaters subsiding andNibirumoving out of the solar system, theAnunnaki and the handful of surviving humans set about reconstructing theworld. But this post-Floodworldwastoprovelesspeacefulthanthepreviousone.Prior to the Flood, any humans not working directly for the Anunnaki were roaming hunters or

Theyjustsuddenlyappeared—fullycultured—about13,000yearsagoaccordingtoarchaeologicalfinds.“There is no explanation for this botanogenetic miracle, unless the process was not one of naturalselection but of artificialmanipulation,” commented Sitchin.His pointmay have somemerit, as threecriticalphasesofhumandevelopment—farming(circa11,000BC),higherculture(circa7500BC),andcivilization (circa 3800 BC)—occurred at intervals of 3,600 years, the same period of time for acompleteorbitbyNibiru.

KINGSANDCONFLICTDuring a post-Flood assembly of the Anunnaki/Nefilim, it was decided to divide the Earth into fourregions,withthecaptivehumanpopulationsplitupwithinthreeoftheseareas—lowerMesopotamia,theNile Valley, and the Indus Valley. The Anunnaki reserved the Sinai Peninsula—their new spaceflightcenterfollowingtheFlood—astheirprivate,or“holy,”sanctuary.Obviously,thisdivide-and-rulestrategyforthescatteredhumancommunitiesrequiredseparateleaders.

Thuswasborntheconceptofkingship,humanrulersspeciallychosenbytheAnunnaki,or“gods,”tobeintermediaries between themselves and the humans, whom they still considered as little better thananimals.ThispracticebeganintheSumeriancityofKish,whichSitchinequateswiththebiblicalCush.Genesis

10:8–12 relates thatCushwasagrandsonofNoahand fatherof the legendaryNimrod,who ruledandbuilt such cities as Babylon, Erech, and Akkad from his base in Sumer, before constructing cities inAssyria, includingNineveh.Thepracticeofdynastickingshipbasedonaroyal lineagetraceabletothegods has affected nations and governments up to the present day, as evidenced by the fact that theRothschildsoftodayclaimkinshiptoNimrod.ItmayhavebeenNimrod’sattempttothwartEnlil’sdispersionplanthatledtotheOldTestamentstory

oftheTowerofBabel.ThisnarrativebeganatBaalbek,believedtobeapost-FloodcenterforAnunnakispace-shuttle operations. The massiveness of the 1,100-ton granite block of the Trilithon, and othersweighingmorethan300tonseach,buttressestheideathatthismayhaveoncebeenalandingorlaunchpad.One explanation for the trouble atBabelwas that thehumans there attempted to construct their own

launchtower,apparentlyhopingtoproducetheirownshem,orflyingvehicle,withaviewtowardarguingagainstthebreakupofhumanitywiththeoff-worldruler,An.“Come,letusbuildourselvesacitywithatower that reaches to the heavens,” theywere quoted inGenesis 11:4 (New InternationalVersion) assaying,“sothatwemaymakeashemforourselvesandnotbescatteredoverthefaceofthewholeearth.”

AnArabic text foundatBaalbekstated thatNimrodandhis followersalso tried toconstructashemthere. “Shem, inadvertently misunderstood, was rendered by most translators as a sign for the word‘name.’ However, it originally signified ‘that which goes up,’ ” explained author Turnage. “SitchindesignatestheoriginofshemasMesopotamian,originatingfromthewordmuor theSemiticderivativeshu-mu,orsham…‘thatbywhichoneisremembered,’evolvinginto‘name.’Theoriginalmeaningofthewords,however,wasoriginallyconnectedwiththeconceptofsomethingthatflies.”“TherealizationthatmuorsheminmanyMesopotamiantextsshouldbereadnotas‘name’butas‘sky

vehicle’ opens the way to the understanding of the true meaning of many ancient tales, including thebiblicalstoryoftheTowerofBabel,”wroteSitchin.EvenSitchin’scriticsagreethatshemorshamaim(heaven)stemfromthewordshamahtranslatedas“thatwhichishighward.”The activity at Baalbek only increased Enlil’s fear of human competition andmade him evenmore

determined tobreakup thehumans.His reactionmayhavebeen reflected inGenesis11:5–8 (RevisedStandardVersion),“AndtheLordcamedowntoseethecityandthetower,whichthesonsofmenhadbuilt.AndtheLordsaid,‘Behold,theyareonepeopleandtheyhaveallonelanguage;andthisisonlythebeginningofwhat theywill do; andnothing that theypropose todowill nowbe impossible for them.Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’sspeech.’ So theLord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all theEarth and they left offbuildingthecity.”Soonthethreebranchesofhumankind—alldescendantsofNoah’ssonsShem,Ham,andJapheth—were

transportedtothepreordainedlocations,wheredifferentlanguagesindeeddevelopedovertime.AlfordtheorizedthatUtnapishtim/Noahmayhavehadwivesrepresentingseparateracialgroups.The

offspringofthesewiveswouldhavebeenofdifferentraces,offeringanexplanationforthepresenceoftheNegroidraceinAfrica,MongoloidsinAsia,andCaucasoidintheNearEast.Both the Sumerian texts and the Bible agree that Shem and his descendants remained in the area

encompassingMesopotamia,Hamandhis kinwere taken toAfrica—here includingparts ofArabia—while Japheth’speoplewere transported to the IndusValley,possiblybecoming themysteriousAryanswhosuddenlyappearedthereinancienttimes.This dispersion, accompanied by the growth of new cities with their newly installed kings and

increasedfoodproduction,shouldhave led toacongenialpeace.Butunfortunately itappeared that theancient“gods”werenomoreabletoproducelastingpeacethanhumans.Trouble began even as theAnunnaki began to relocate their spaceflight facilities fromSumer—now

mostlyunderwaterdue to the flood—to theSinaiPeninsulaat aplace that came tobecalledElParan(God’sGloriousPlace).MountArarat, inwhat isnoweasternTurkeyand is reportedlywhere thearkfinally grounded, provided the northernmost landmark for a glide path to theAnunnaki’s Sinai landingfacility.Thisbasewas locatedon the thirtiethparallel in thegeographic center ofSinai.The southernglidepathlandmarkwasthetwohighestpeaksofMountSinai,thehigherbeingMountCatherine(8,652feetabovesealevel)andthelower,MountMoses(7,500feet).Whatwaslackingforthisglidepathwasamatching landmark to thewest.Because that areawas flat, some researchers claim that tallmarkerswereconstructed—thegreatpyramidsofGiza.TheeditorsoftheHolmanBibleDictionaryreportedthatMountSinaiprobablycamefromtheword

meaning“shining”andwas likelyderived from theBabyloniangodSin.However,Sinwas simply theSemiticnameforNannar,thefirstbornsonoftheAnunnakileaderEnlilandsovereignofUr,thehomecityofAbraham.SinalsowastheChaldeannameforthemoon,wheretheSumeriansclaimedEnkifirstobtainedthelife-

producingtissuecellsor“seed”forhishumanhybridexperimentsthatremainedfromtheclashbetween

Nibiru and the planet Tiamat. “The enormity of this single name change on human history is beyondcomprehension,” declared author William Henry. “When the Christian interpreters came along, theyrepeatedthestorythatwewereborninsin.Theywereentirelyaccurateintheirstatement.However,theyomitted the fact thatSin referred to theMoon, thesourceofourgeneticmaterial!” In theensuingwarsbetweentheAnunnakioverlords,SinwasreportedtohavesidedwiththehumanbenefactorEnki,whichcausedEnliltodeclarethosewhoopposedhimas“sinners.”BecausetheAnunnakimissioncontrolcenterattheSumeriancityofNippurwasdestroyedduringthe

filled with intrigues, conspiracies, and outright wars pitting brother against brother and sister againstsister.These conflicts, rebellions, andwarswould eventually involve humankind, providing their firstexposuretoarmedcombat,whichcontinueseventoday.According to theSumerian texts,Enki’s firstborn son,Marduk, gained sovereignty over the lands of

Egypt and became known as Ra. It was his children, Shu and Tefnut, who set an example for futurepharaohs bywedding each other. Their offspring,Geb andNut, alsomarried andwere the next royalcouple aswell as theparents of someofEgypt’smost famousgod/rulers—Osiris, his sister/wife Isis,Seth,andNephthys,sisterofIsis.Theremaybeafascinatingrationaleforsuchinterbreeding,asexplainedbyresearcherBillPutnam.He

saidthatthiswasamethodforexactlyreproducingthechromosomesofthepharaoh.Egyptianliteratureindicatesthatthepharaohsusuallymarriedahalfsister.Ifapharaoh’ssonbredwiththedaughterofanunrelatedwife(thepharaohshadseveralwives),theresultingmatchoftheXandYchromosomeswouldresultinreproducinganexactmatchofchromosomesoftheoriginalpharaoh.“TheneteffectwasthattheDNAofthe‘godonEarth’wouldbereproducedeveryothergeneration,”explainedPutnam.Putnamsaidthey were most likely following the example of their gods, the Anunnaki, to whom reproducing thebloodline was a most necessary deed. This could help explain this practice among humans, whichcontinues until today within royal and bloodline families. “Princess Diana had more claim to thebloodlinethanPrinceCharles,”saidPutnam.Allthisinterfamilymarriageledtoasuccessionproblem,solvedbydividingthecountry.Osiriswas

givenLowerEgyptandSeth,mountainousUpperEgypt.Unsatisfiedwithhisapportionment,SethbegantomaneuveragainstOsiris,andthusbeganthelegendarywarsofancientEgypt.InastoryreminiscentofRomeoandJuliet,theSumerianstoriestellofagranddaughterofEnlilnamed

had been deliberate or accidental, and becauseMarduk/Rawas proclaimed a god, it was decided tosentencehimtolifeimprisonmentinahuge,impenetrableplacewhosewallsreachedtheskies.SitchinidentifiedMarduk’s prison as noneother than theGreatPyramid.Hewrote that his translations of theSumerian textsexplained that thecuriouswell shaftwithin theGreatPyramid—apuzzlinghand-hewedtunnel connecting thepyramid’sDescendingPassage to itsAscendingPassage—wasdug tobypass thelargegranite stone thatplugs theAscendingPassage in an attempt to rescueMarduk,whoescapedbuteventually returned. The capture and imprisonment of an Egyptian god are well recounted in ancientEgyptianhieroglyphics.

DespiteMarduk’spunishment,Inannawasfarfromsatisfied,asshe,too,wantedpower.TheAnunnakicould satisfy her only by giving her control over another area, now identified as the Indus Valley.MoundedruinsofMohenjo-daro,thelargestcityofacivilizationdatingbacktobefore2500BC,werefirstrecognizedontheIndusRiver insouthernPakistanin1922.Althoughthoroughly—andstrangely—devastatedinsomeprehistorictime,thebaked-brickconstructionofbuildingsandthepreplannedlayoutofthecityindicatedtosomeresearchersanobviousconnectionwithSumer.AuthorAlfordsaidthecitywasinhabitedbyapeoplecalledtheHarappans,who“worshippedasolefemaledeity,whosedepictionboreanamazingsimilaritytootherimagesofthegoddessInanna.”IfthisIndusgoddesswasindeedInanna,shecontinuedherquestforpower,accordingtotheSumerian

texts, eventually replacingNinhursag among themajorAnunnaki leaders.Using ahumanhybridnamedSharru-Kin, Inanna carvedout a newempire.Theman shepicked is also knownasSargon theGreat.Believed to be the offspring of a humanmother and anAnunnaki father, Sargon claimed that he, likeMoses later,was placed in a sealedbasket of reeds byhismother and floateddowna river to safetywhile a baby. Sargon went on to found the Semite Akkadian dynasty about 2200 BC, which finallyencompassedallofMesopotamia.WiththefallofSargonandtheAkkadianempire,Mardukslippedfromexileandattemptedtoregainhis

biblical text, he took 318 “trained men” to rescue his nephew Lot and his family from an invadingcoalitionofarmiesunderMarduk,asMardukhadbeenmaneuveringtoretaketheSinaispaceportfromthe north.

It has been claimed that the skeletons, afterthousandsofyears,arestillamongthemostradioactivethathaveeverbeenfound,onaparwiththoseofHiroshimaandNagasaki.”An ancient Indian text called the Mahabharata describes how war broke out between the early

“Masters”ofthecitiesofHarappa,MohenjoDaro,andanothercity,KotDiji.Accordingtothetext,flyingmachines called vimanas—apparently similar to the Anunnaki flying craft—launched a weapon thatseemedtobeasdevastatingasanatomicbomb.Althoughthelanguagedifferencesprohibitanabsoluteconnection to the accounts of the Anunnaki craft and weapons, the similarities are provocative. Theweaponwasdescribedthus:

There is surprising scientific support for this account of nuclearweapons used in India.A layer ofradioactive ashwas found covering a three-square-mile area inRajasthan, tenmileswest of Jodhpur,India.ArchaeologistFrancisTaylor, translatingetchingsat thesite, remarked,“It’ssomind-bogglingtoimaginethatsomecivilizationhadnucleartechnologybeforewedid.TheradioactiveashaddscredibilitytotheancientIndianrecordsthatdescribeatomicwarfare.”ConventionalhistorystatesthatmightySumersimplyvanishedsuddenly,absorbedbythenewempires

of Babylon andAssyria, though Sumerian texts tell amuchmore horrible story. Besides destroying anumber of cities, tragic collateral damage came about as a result of the nuclear blasts on the SinaiPeninsula—in the fallout from the explosions, a radioactive cyclone formed and moved throughMesopotamiaandonintotheIndusValley,obliteratingalllifeandendingtheSumeriancivilization.Accordingtovarious“lamentations”translatedbytheSumerianscholarSamuelNoahKramer,“Onthe

conventional science. Horn resigned as a professor of biological anthropology at Colorado StateUniversity in1990afterhe concluded that the conventional explanations forman’sorigins that hewasteaching were “nonsense.” After much study, he, too, came to believe that extraterrestrials were

Only after Anunnaki leaders began toappointrulersoverhumanitydidtheconceptofreligioncomeintoplay.Rather than deal directly with the burgeoning human population, the ancient gods ordained an

—known as exoscientists—suggest that other extraterrestrials, who have come to Earth after theAnunnaki,havetriedtomanipulatehumansgenetically,technologically,andalsothroughreligiousdogmaand ritual. “Apparently, these extraterrestrials performed ‘great feats’ in order to be worshipped as‘gods.’ The reported next stepwas to provide technology to these Earth humans so that these humanscould create impressive looking ‘rich’ structures of religiousworship, laidwithgold andotherminedmineralresources,ofreligiousworshiptotheseextraterrestrial‘gods.’”Bythetimeoftheearliestrecordedhumancivilizations,suchasAssyriaandBabylonia,religionswere

And anyone who failed to offer allegiance to their one true god was castigated as ablasphemer,heathen,Satanworshipper,orworse.But as thephysicalgods—theearliervisitors—dropped fromsight, the religions theycreated turned

The elder conflicts between the ancient astronauts became ametaphor for ancientwarsandastrugglebetweenthenewGodandhisevilcounterpart,Satan.BaptistministerandauthorPaulVon Ward wrote about “the development of supernatural religion in what we call the cradle ofcivilization, beginning less than 3,000 years ago.Here religions that grew out of absentee-[AdvancedBeings]-cults that described their gods as immortal, magical beings took the next step toward

Jewish storytellers introduce a supernatural figure they call ha satan, which can betranslated fromHebrew as ‘the adversary,’ or ‘the opposer,’ or ‘the obstructer.’ But this supernatural‘opposer’ never dares to oppose God. On the contrary, he is one of God’s obedient servants, hismessengers, called inHebrewmalakim,members of the heavenly court. Translated intoGreek,malakbecomesangelos,fromwhichwegettheword‘angel.’”ThestoryofhowoneofGod’s trustedmessengers turnedagainsthimcamefromvariousaccountsof

otherhumans:“Andit’snoaccidentthatthefoundationaltextsofChristiantradition—thegospelsoftheNew Testament, like theDead Sea Scrolls—all beginwith stories of Satan contending against God’sspirit.” Pagels explained that Christians later “turned the image of Satan against a farwider range oftargets—against the Roman empire and its government, which persecuted Christians, and then againstother‘intimateenemies’—otherChristians,whomtheycalled‘heretics.’“WhatI’vecometoseeisthatwhenpeopleinvokeSatan—whetherinthefirstcenturyorthetwentieth

In return, theiropponents likelyshoutedtheirownepithetsof‘infidel’(meaning‘unfaithfultothe“true”god’).”According to Von Ward, a “confluence of historical events” provided the basis for Western

supernaturalismduringtheRomanEmpire.TheseeventsincludedthedevelopmentofabsenteenonhumancultworshipintheMiddleEast,theHebrewworshipofYahweh,whowasbelievedtobetheleaderofthe olden gods, and the new and compelling reformation cult of Jesus of Nazareth. Von Ward alsoattributes theriseofsupernaturalismto thesimultaneousriseofpowerful institutions—for instance, thedevelopmentofRomanorganizational skillsand thecreationofaChrist-centeredchurch, thepowerofRometoelevatePaul’sChristianculttothestatusofthestatereligion,andtheNiceancouncilofbishopsthat “culled from competing texts a Bible that largely excludes references to the reality of other[AdvancedBeings]andJesus’humanity.”VonWard saidgenerationsofhumans slowlydevelopedadefensemechanismonce the ancient gods

SHOWMETHEMONEYInearlyEasternandWesterncultures,rulersgainedpowerandwealthfromreligion.Yettoday,religionhaswaned,especiallyinhighlydevelopednations.Nowthefavoredmethodofcontrolisthroughmoney.The Hebrew Mogen David, or Star of David, is of Babylonian origin and is indicative of how

Babylonian/SumerianculturewasblendedwithHebrewreligionduringtheJews’captivity inBabylon.AnditwasintheTempleatJerusalemthatJesusturnedviolentagainstthemoneychangers.Matthew21:12–13relates,“AndJesuswentintothetempleofGod,andcastoutallthemthatsoldand

bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of themoneychangers, and the seats of thosewho solddoves,Andsaiduntothem,Itiswritten,Myhouseshallbecalledthehouseofprayer;butyehavemadeitadenofthieves”(KJV).AuthorJosephP.Farrellsawthedevelopmentoftheprivateissuanceofbullion-basedmoniesbothin

rulerscouldpenetrateandallywiththetemple,issuefalsereceipts,substitutebullionforlettersofcreditasameasureagainstthefalsereceipts,andthuscreateafacsimileofmoney.

Thus,wearrivebackatthestateofissuingfalsereceipts,onlyinthisinstance,thesereceiptsareneitherfalsenorcounterfeit,theyaresimplyprivatelycreatednotesorpromisestopayacertainamount of bullion (which they also control). Thus, once again the money supply is not onlyexpanded, but the use of such instruments actually served to allow the bullion brokers tocirculatemoreofsuchnotesthantheyhadactualbulliontoredeem.Thekey,onceagain,wasthesanctifying probity that the temple association gave them.

Money therefore became closely associated with the temples, which also doubled ascentersforthestudyofastronomyandastrology.Farrell presented the thesis thatmodernbankingmagnates aremerelyutilizing financial legerdemain

ancient times involve war, slavery (whether physical or financial), usurpation of the money-creatingpowerofthestate,theinventionofdebt-as-money,andeconomiccyclescoupledwithastrology.But in order to exert control over such a system, a banking elitewouldhave required long-distance

communicationandtheuseofbasictechnologyinordertoconstructaworldwidefinancialnetwork.Ithasbeenwelldocumentedhowearlybankingdynasties,suchas theMedicisandRothschilds, indeedweredependentonelaborateandeffectivecommunication systems.Andboth familiesexercisedpoweroverkingsandmonarchs,evenselectingthepope.There are examples of communication technology that could have been used in the past to simulate

miracles and messages from divine beings. KonstantinMeyl, who teaches electronics and alternativeenergytechnologyattheUniversityofAppliedSciencesinFurtwangen,Germany,hasbuiltontheworkofNikolaTesla indescribinghowenergy—includingsoundwaves—canbe transferredwithoutwiresviascalar waves, multidimensional standing-wave patterns that exist within the universal unified energyfield.G.PatrickFlanagan,authorofPyramidPower,hasdevelopedadevicecalledaneurophone,whichcan carry sound to the brain without the use of the auditory system.

as to create a communication system. “The temples in antiquity were all shortwave broadcastingstations,” bluntly statedMeyl in his 2003 book Scalar Waves: From an Extended Vortex and FieldTheorytoaTechnical,Biological,andHistoricalUseofLongitudinalWaves.Hesaidthetempleswerepowered by ambient Earth electromagnetic energy as described byMichael Tellinger.Also theywereconstructed in suchamanneras toharnessenergy from the sun, aswell asneutrino radiation from theplanets.StudyingthefloorplansoftheGreektemplesofZeus,Athena,Hera,andApolloandeventhePantheon

in Rome, Meyl presents a compelling argument that the dimensions of such sites show an uncannygeometric resemblance based on the golden ratio, an irrational (nonfractional) number, amathematicalconstantusedbymanyearlyartistsandarchitects,whoreferredtosuchdesignsassacredgeometry.Sobyconstructing edifices using certain rigid mathematical formulas and by utilizing ambient radiation,knowledgeable insiderswithin the banking elitewere able to communicate at great distances via bothauralandpsychicmeans.According to Meyl, old accounts have proved that this type of communication existed, yet those

translating the accounts garbled the translations because they didn’t understand the technology beingdiscussed.For instance, thosewhohave translatedaccountsoforacles,angelicvoices,andprophecies

mayhaveactuallymeantthatareceiverwasinuse.OneoldLatintext,forexample,stated,“TheysentbycouriertotheemperorinRomeandgotforananswer…Theansweroftheemperornamelyarrivedatthesquadatthelatestinthefollowingnight.”Meylhaspositedthatthecorrecttranslationshouldread,“Theycabled”or“TheybroadcasttotheemperorinRomeandgotforananswer…”Meylcontinued,“Suchabig empire as theRomanEmpire actually couldonlybe reignedbymeansof efficient communication.Cicero coined the word: ‘We have conquered the people of the Earth owing to our broadcastingtechnology.’…Ifengineers,however, rework the incorrect translations…muchdirectevidenceexistsconcerningthepracticaluseofthistechnology.”Likemanyancientphilosophers,Ciceroalsowrotethattheoccultmysterieshadmoretodowithnaturalsciencethanwithreligion.Bramley saw war as another important control mechanism. “War can be an effective tool for

CLASSICALGREECEEgypthas longheld the fascinationof scientists, archaeologists, adventurers,moviemakers, andothers,but ancientGreece has always been considered the foundation ofWestern culture.Greecewas settledaround3500BC. Itsnamecomes from theGreekwordgraikoi, referring to theoriginal inhabitantsofDodona, which held the oldest known shrine to the god of thunder, Zeus. Perhaps early inhabitantsmigratedfromthedecayingMinoancivilizationonCrete.By thesixthcenturyBC,Greekpowerhadbecomeconcentrated in the twocitystatesofAthensand

power vacuum was filled by Philip of Macedon, whose son Alexander the Great, born in 356 BC,plunderedGreece, then Persia, Syria, Phoenicia, Egypt, Babylonia, and parts of India before dying inBabylon at the age of thirty-three.During his rule of Egypt, he founded the city ofAlexandria,whichbecame theancientworld’smost important center for scientific and literary studies, aswell as for thetransmissionofesoterictraditions.AlexanderwasastudentoftheGreekphilosopherAristotle,whohadbeen taught by Plato, who had learned from Socrates.

POWERPASSESTOROMEAftertheGreekscametheRomans.TheRomancivilizationissaidtohavebeenfoundedin753BCbyRomulus andRemus, the twin sons of theTrojan leaderAeneas,who fled to Italywith other refugeesfollowingthefallofTroyinmodern-dayTurkey.ItwassaidAeneaswasthesonof theGreekgoddessAphrodite,andwithhisdeath,athismother’srequest,hewasdeifiedasthegodJupiterIndiges.Venus,thegoddessofbeauty,sex,fertility,andvictory,wastheRomancounterpartofAphrodite.HerAnunnakicounterpartwouldhavebeen Inanna.Such connections indicate theongoing cultworship that began inSumerandthenpassedthroughEgyptandGreece.About80BC,GeneralLuciusCorneliusSullaFelix,betterknownsimplyasSulla,foundedacollegein

Rome dedicated to the Egyptian goddess Isis. However, Isis worshipwas discouraged by the Romanconsuls,whodidnotwanttosharecontroloverthepopulation.TheworshipofIsisatRomecontinuedtobesuppressedbyasuccessionofdecreesuntilthereignofCaligula.In 212BC, a differentman,Gaius Sulla, an ardentworshipper ofApollo, organized the first of the

annualLudiApollinares,orGamesofApollo,honoringtheGreekgodwhosecounterpartswereOsirisandEnki.Thelaterwarlord,SullaFelix,wasknowntowearasmallgoldenimageofApollointobattle.Inmanyways,Romanculturewasmerely the latest incarnationofSumer,bringingwith itmanyof theoldercentralizedreligiousandpoliticalstructures.TheRomanEmpirewas formed in27BCafter JuliusCaesar’snephewOctavian (CaesarAugustus)

Greece and theUnitedStates,Romebegan as ademocratic republicbut evolved into avoracious andaggressive empire ruled by a succession of tyrannical Caesars, its people distracted by bread andcircuses—government-sponsoredfreefoodandweeklygladiatorialspectaclesinthevariouscoliseums.However, after the death (possibly another assassination) of the last pagan emperor, Julian the

Apostate, the true rulingpowerwas theRomanChurch, collector of tithes and lender ofmoney to thegovernment.AsthepowerofthelaterRomanstaterestedonthepoweroftheChurch,itisinstructivetoreviewtheriseofChristianity.InthetimeofJesusofNazareth,JewsinPalestinewerefragmentedamongtheclericalandpolitically

powerfulPharisees,thepiousSadducees,andtheunconventionalEssenes.Moreover,theinterpretationsof theOldTestament found in theDeadSeaScrolls illuminate theways inwhich the interpretationsofJamesandtheJerusalemChristiansdevotedtotheteachingsofJesusdifferedfromthoseofPaulandhisfollowers outside Palestine. It is interesting to note that in the Scriptures Jesus condemned both thePharisees and Sadducees but pointedly ignored the Essenes, leading many to believe he favored theEssenephilosophies.As leaders of the Jerusalem church, Jesus’s brother James andMaryMagdalenewere at oddswith

Paul, who was bringing his version of Christianity to the gentiles to the north. There were immensesquabbles over the most minute issues. In Galatians 5:12, Paul had become so exasperated with acontinuing argument over circumcision that he expressed the hope that those initiating the controversywouldemasculatethemselves.Bible scholar and former intelligence analyst Patricia G. Eddy wrote, “The first Jewish Christians

believed thatobeyingallof thestringentJewishreligious laws, includingcircumcisionandeatingonlyKosherfood,werenecessaryforsalvation.”YetaccordingtoEddy,“PaulpreachedthatsalvationcouldbeattainedthroughfaithandthattheJewishreligiouslawsshouldnotbeallowedtoimpedepeoplefrombecoming Christians. Paul’s view eventually won out, as more and more gentiles converted toChristianity. By the third century, they outnumbered the Jewish Christians by a large margin, definedChristianity according to Paul’s theology, and began castigating the original Jewish Christians asheretics.”Bythemiddleofthesecondcentury,Irenaeus,theBishopofLyons,wascondemningthefollowersof

JesusandJamesasheretics.ThesefollowerswereknownasNazarenes,orthepoor.TheauthorLaurenceGardnernotedthatIrenaeuscomplainedthattheseNazarenes“rejectthePaulineepistlesandtheyrejecttheapostlePaul,callinghimanapostate[rejecter]oftheLaw…theNazarenes…denouncedPaulasa‘renegade’anda‘falseapostle,’claimingthathis‘idolatrouswritings’shouldbe‘rejectedaltogether.’”ElainePagelswrote that “diverse formsofChristianity flourished in theearlyyearsof theChristian

movement.Hundredsofrivalteachersallclaimedtoteachthe‘truedoctrineofChrist’anddenouncedoneanotherasfrauds.ChristiansinchurchesscatteredfromAsiaMinortoGreece,Jerusalem,andRomesplitintofactions,arguingoverchurchleadership.Allclaimedtorepresent‘theauthentictradition.’”After becoming an established institution, the Roman Church quickly gained wealth and power. It

derivedagreatdealofpowerfromcollectingtithesandlendingmoneytothegovernment.“Farabovethewrangling in the local churches sat the Roman Church, unconcerned, untroubled, and probably,uncomprehending,”PatriciaEddywrote,addingthattheChurchatthistimewasprimarilyconcentratingon missionary work in Europe, an activity which paid unexpected benefits. “Unwittingly, the

Christianization of these heathen ultimately saved theRomanChurch because the barbarians and theirpriests regarded the Roman Church as the authority for their religious beliefs. When the barbariansoverranRome,theRomanChurchwasspared.…”Thoughsparedbythebarbarians,theChurchstillhadtocontendwithavarietyofsects,allwiththeir

own version of Christianity. Church controlwasmaintained predominantly by fear ofGod’swrath asevokedbythepriesthood.Ifthatfailed,therewasalwaysforce.AndalloftheChurch’smachinationsweresaidtobesupportedbybiblicalscripture,whichhadbeen

edited numerous times to eliminate certain messages that contradicted Church dogma. Editing, orredactions,astheyareeuphemisticallycalled,overtheyearshasledtoerrorsinourtranslationsoftheBible,whichin turnhaveledsometomisunderstandingsovermodernterms,suchas flight,orwhen itcame to secret codes hidden within its language. The Essenes of Jesus’s time produced literaturecontainingtheirownintricatecodesandallegoriestoprotecttheirknowledgefromtheuninitiatedaswellasfromtheRomanauthorities.Forexample,whenwritingabouttheRomans,theyusedthetermKittim,butthiswordwasoftenmisinterpretedtorefertotheancientChaldeansofMesopotamiaorsomeoftheGreekislands.In addition, according toC.L.Turnage, someBible codes and symbols referred tomultiple deities.

“These coded references pointed theway toward an understanding that such beingswere the gods, orElohim,oftheBible,whoseworshipbeganinSumer,andwhoultimatelyoriginatedonanotherworld.”TheconflictsbothwithinandoutsideofChristianityweresettledbytheRomanemperorConstantinein

a compromise to gain power. “Apart from various cultic beliefs, the Romans had worshipped theEmperors in their capacity asgodsdescended fromothers likeNeptune and Jupiter,” explained authorLaurence Gardner. “At the Council of Arles in 314, Constantine retained his own divine status byintroducing the omnipotent God of the Christians as his personal sponsor. He then dealt with theanomaliesofdoctrinebyreplacingcertainaspectsofChristianritualwiththefamiliarpagantraditionsofsunworship,togetherwithotherteachingsofSyrianandPersianorigin.Inshort,thenewreligionoftheRoman Church was constructed as a ‘hybrid’ to appease all influential factions. By this means,Constantinelookedtowardsacommonandunified‘world’religion—Catholicmeaninguniversal—withhimselfatitshead.”Once Christianity became the accepted religion of the empire, pagan holidays were expropriated.

Saturnalia,forexample,wasthewinterfestivalinhonorofthegodSaturn,theequivalentoftheSumeriangodoftheheavens,Anu,andtheEgyptiangodAmen-Ra(knowntotheGreeksasCronos).Saturnaliawasmerelyalatter-dayextensionoftheGreekfestivalofKronia,aremembranceofthe“GoldenDays”whenCronosruledtheworld.Bytheendoftherepublic,ithadevolvedintoagaytimeofgift-giving,lightingcandles,feasting,andgeneralfrivolitiesfortheentirepopulation,includingslaves.ButwhenChristianityarrived,theRomanrulersfounditdifficulttostampoutthisholiday,sotheChurchsimplyannouncedthatitwascelebrating thebirthofJesusChrist,anobservance thathasbeencarriedforward to thisdayasChristMass,orChristmas.Thechurch’sco-optationofChristianitywassealedat theCouncilofNicaea inAD325.During the

council,thepriestAriuswasbeatenandtossedoutbecauseheandhisfollowersbelievedthatonlyGodcreated everything and therefore Jesus was not God but simply a heavenly inspired teacher. Hisfollowers, theArians, were banished from the Church, and theNicene Creedwas established,whichformallydefinedGodasadeityofthreeequalandcoexistingparts—theFather,Son,andHolySpirit,orHolyGhost.Oneyear later,Constantineordered theconfiscationanddestructionof allworks thatquestioned the

newlyconstructedorthodoxyandthenopenedtheLateranPalace,whichwasaprecursoroftheVatican,to

theBishopofRome.In331,theemperororderednewcopiesmadeofChristiantexts,mostofwhichhadbeen lost or destroyed during the previous persecutions.The resulting editing included alterations thathavebecomethefoundationofmodernChristianity.

LOSTINTRANSLATIONAll this destruction of human origins and history has led to gaping holes in humankind’s true history,leadinginturntoconfusionduetomistranslations,misinterpretations,andnamechangeswithinreligiousdocuments, which may be ascribed simply to the differences among languages and cultures or todeliberateobfuscation.RabbiDovidBendory,rabbinicdirectorforJewsforthePreservationofFirearmsOwnership(JPFO),

is just one of the more recent researchers who have found major misunderstandings based onmistranslations of the Bible. In a 2012 commentary, Rabbi Bendory explained that one of the mostcommonly recognized linesof theTenCommandments, “Thoushallnotkill,” is amistranslationof theHebrew Lo tirtzach, which actually means “Do not murder.” He said this term has “a clear andunequivocal meaning,” one that “forever changed the course of all human history,” as both Jews andChristianshavebeenplaguedwithguiltandremorseoverkillinginwars,byaccident,orself-defense.“Thereisaworldofdifferencebetweenkillingandmurder,”heexplained.“Canwepossiblyestimate

THEDARKAGESWASATIMEOFGREAT INSTABILITYAND IGNORANCE in theWesternworld.Itdraggedonfrom approximately AD 500 until the Renaissance. Those living with the luxuries of the twenty-firstcenturyhavelargelyforgottenthatpriortotheyear1900thevastmajorityofpeopleintheworldwereilliterate,hadnoindoorplumbing,andlivedatthewhimoftheirrulers.Only remnants of Greece and Rome’s knowledge had been preserved by a few Christianmonks in

Ireland,Italy,France,andBritain.Ifnotforthesemonks,alongwithlibrariesintheMuslimcountries,noknowledgewhatsoeverwouldhavebeenpreservedforustoday.The Roman Church controlled every aspect of life. To speak against the Church opened one to

censorship,excommunication,orevendeath.Thesuffocationoffreethinkingledtothegrowthofsecretsocieties and sects,manyofwhichbegan inbiblical timesandviedwithoneanother for controloverancient secrets.Much like the later InvisibleCollegeofElizabethan times, these societies collectivelywere consideredmystery schools, reservoirs of esoteric knowledge thatwas largely incomprehensibleand thus fear-inspiring to thegeneralpublic.Their literaturewascarefullyconstructed tobothconcealandrevealsomeoftheirknowledge.OnesuchrepositoryofancientknowledgewastheSumerian“TableofDestiny,”thoughttobethesame

astheTablesofTestimonymentionedinExodus31:18,asotherBibleverses—Exodus24:12and25:16—make it clear that these tables are not the Ten Commandments. British author Laurence Gardnerbelieved this ancient archive may be the legendary Emerald Tablet of Thoth-Hermes. This tablet,considered one of the most ancient and secret of writings, is claimed to be the work of HermesTrismegistus (Hermes the Thrice-Greatest), a composite character of the Greek god Hermes and theEgyptiangodThoth,calledNinurtainancientSumer.Thoth/NinurtawassaidtobeasurvivorofAtlantiswhopassedalongantediluvianknowledgetoasonofNoah—Ham.“Hewastheessentialfounderof theesotericandarcane‘undergroundstream’whichflowedthrough

such as Homer, Virgil, Pythagoras, Plato, and Ovid. In the Middle Ages and onward, it was passedthroughsuchsecretsocietiesastheRosicruciansandKnightsTemplarandontotheFreemasons.But such ancient knowledge had to be kept secret in the ages following the collapse of the Roman

Empire.ChristianityhadgainedabsolutesupremacyintheWesternworld,anduntiltheGreatSchismandthefallofConstantinopletotheMuslimOttomanEmpirein1453,theRomanChurchstoodastheultimate

fractious that theyheld littlepower.With the crusadersholding theHolyLandof theMiddleEast, theunchallengedpoweroftheChurchbecamefurthercentralizedandall-powerful.Thefactthatmostkingsandqueenshadborrowedmoney from theVaticanonly added to their subservience.Only inScotland,whereKingRobert theBrucewasexcommunicatedin1306andonlywhenMartinLuther’sNinety-fiveThesesweremadepublicin1517andHenryVIIIestablishedthebreakawayChurchofEnglandin1534wasthepowerofCatholicismchallenged.

Beginning in 1209, French kingPhilipII,attheordersofPopeInnocentIII,launchedtheAlbigensianCrusadeinanattempttowipeouttheCathars,consideredthemostseriouschallengetotheCatholicChurchtothatdate.Untilveryrecently,littlewasknownoftheCatharsbecausetheRomanChurchhaddestroyedanymaterialfavorabletothem.Toavoidannihilation,manyCatharssimplyblendedinto thepopulace. In lateryears,French leaders

fromCatharfamiliesconsideredareligiouscrusadetotaketheHolyLand,andparticularlyJerusalem,asa convenient excuse to search for verification of the Cathar traditions. Peter the Hermit—generallyconsideredtobeinstrumentalinpromotingtheFirstCrusade,alongwithSaintBernard—wasapersonaltutortotheCrusade’sleader,GodfreydeBouillon,himselfamemberofaCatharfamilyandbelievedbysometobethefounderofFreemasonry.The First Crusade led to the creation of societies that used secrecy as protection from the Roman

Church,whichbeganprotectingitstheologybyincreasinglyviolentmeans.Bymanyrecentaccounts,atleast one group of Crusaders brought back more than just heresy—they also came back with hardevidence of error and duplicity inChurch dogma. In 1307, theChurch tried to exterminate this group,proclaimedashereticsandblasphemers.TheyweretheKnightsTemplar,whosetraditionsliveontodaywithinFreemasonry.Thisreligious-militaryknighthood,originallycalledTheOrderofthePoorKnightsofChristandofthe

TempleofSolomon,wasformedin1118whennineFrenchCrusadersappearedbeforeKingBaldwinofJerusalem and asked to be allowed to protect pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land. They also askedpermission to stay in the ruins ofSolomon’sTemple,which had later been the palace ofKingHerod.Theseknightswere ledbyHughdePayens,anobleman in theserviceofhiscousin,Hughes,CountofChampagne, andAndrédeMontbard, theuncleofBernardofClairvaux, laterknownas theCistercianSaintBernard.AllwerefromfamiliesconnectedtotheCathars.AuthorsLynnPicknettandClivePrince,expertsontheKnightsTemplar,wrote,“PayensandhisninecompanionsallcamefromeitherChampagneortheLanguedoc,andincludedtheCountofProvence,anditisquiteapparentthattheywenttotheHolyLandwithaspecificmissioninmind.”ProvenceliesadjacenttotheLanguedocregionofsouthernFranceand includesMarseilles, where by traditionMaryMagdalene arrived with other Palestinian refugeesfollowing the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It was in Provence that the knights hid the treasure of both

texts,scrolls,andtabletsbearingtheancientknowledgeofthegods—hadbeenburiedtherebyJewstoprotectitfromlootingRomansduringtheJewishRevoltofAD66.AccordingtotheHistories,ahistoryof Rome written by Tacitus in AD 109, Pompey the Great was shocked when he entered Solomon’sTemplein63BConlytofind“thesanctuarywasemptyandtheHolyofHoliesuntenanted.”However,afterthefallofJerusaleminAD70,theRomansmanagedtocartoffaportionofthetreasure

leftbehindtopreventfurthersearching.TheytookittoRomeaswarbooty.Theremainder,probablythemost sacred tablets and scrolls,was secured in the catacombsunder the temple and later forgotten byauthoritieswhenHerod’spalacewasbuilt.Knowledge of this undiscovered treasure passed into southern France in AD 410, when a former

Roman commander,Alaric, led hisGothic army in sackingRome. The secrets of Solomon’s TreasureweretakentothehomelandoftheGoths,theLanguedocregioninthefoothillsofthePyreneesMountainsin southern France. It was from here that the French Cathars learned of the treasure still buried inJerusalem.This informationwas passed throughCathari families and led to the fomenting of the FirstCrusade.WiththereturnoftheKnightsTemplar,Solomon’sTreasurewasonceagainreunitedwiththeportion

takenfromRomebyAlaric. It remainedhidden,withonlybitsof theancientknowledgebeingusedbysecretsocieties,suchastheRosicrucians,Freemasons,theBavarianIlluminati,andtheelusivePrioryofSion,untiltheentiretreasurehoardwastakenbytheGermanNazisinearly1944.Inadditiontosecretsinvolvingarchitecture,medicine,andinstrumentssuchasmagneticcompasses,the

knights learned the management of money. Although conventional history traces the development ofmodern banking to early Jewish and Italian lending institutions, the Knights Templar predated theRothschildsandtheMedicis.“They pioneered the concept of credit facilities, aswell as the allocation of credit for commercial

developmentandexpansion.Theyperformed,infact,virtuallyallthefunctionsofa20thcenturymerchantbank,”wroteBaigentandLeigh.“Atthepeakoftheirpower,theTemplarshandledmuch,ifnotmost,oftheavailablecapitalinWesternEurope.”TheTemplarsheld long-termprivate trust funds, accessibleonlyby theoriginatorsof theaccount, a

backintohistory,andthereappearstobeacorrelationbetweencontrolbymoney,gold,andtheancientgods. In his 2010 book,Babylon’s Banksters, Joseph P. Farrell, as a doctoral graduate of PembrokeCollege, Oxford, who had unparalleled access to old books and manuscripts in Oxford University’slibrary,saidhisthesiswasbothsimpletostatebutdifficulttounderstand.“Sinceancienttimesandwithmoreor lessuninterruptedconstancy, therehasexistedan internationalmoneypowerwhichseeksbyavarietyofmeans—including fraud,deception, assassination, andwar—tousurp themoney-andcredit-creatingpowerofthevariousstatesithassoughttodominate,andtoobfuscateandocculttheprofoundconnection between that money-creating power and the deep ‘alchemical physics’ that such powerimplies.”Inancienttimes,thecoinageofmoneywasconductedandcontrolledbythepriesthoodsinobedienceto

theirgods.InBabylon,descendantoftheSumerianculture,checkswereinuseasdrawsondepositsofvaluables. But the gods demanded gold or silver, as noted in the Laws of Hammurabi. Themonetarysystems ofBabylonia established branches on the coast ofGreece and in theMycenaean centers. ThediscoveryofBabyloniansealsintheGreekislandsoftheCycladesshowedthatclay“promisestopay”insilverwerewritten for loans against real goods.According to Farrell, such practices gave rise to an“internationalclassofbullionbrokers”orbankers.“Succinctlystated,thebulliontrustandthetempleareattheminimumallies,andatthemaximum,theonehasinfiltratedandtakenovertheother.”Theancientrulers,whetheraliensthemselvesormererepresentatives,discoveredthat theirreligions

requiredfinancialsupport.GoingbacktoatleasttheBabyloniancivilization,thetemplesweredependentonfinancialinstitutions.TheHebrewMogenDavid, or Star ofDavid, is of Babylonian origin and is indicative of how the

Babylonian/SumerianculturewasblendedwithHebrewreligionduringtheJews’captivity inBabylon.And itwas in theTemple at Jerusalem that Jesus turned violent against themoney changers.Matthew21:12–13relates,“AndJesuswentintothetempleofGod,andcastoutallthemthatsoldandboughtinthe temple,andoverthrewthe tablesof themoneychangers,andtheseatsof thosewhosolddoves,andsaiduntothem,‘itiswritten,Myhouseshallbecalledthehouseofprayer,butyehavemadeitadenofthieves.’Goldremainedatthetopofthefinancialpyramid.Ascommonlyknown,goldwasabasicoftheancient

Egyptianculture,beingusedforornaments,statues,andcoins.Gold,theobjectiveoftheAnunnaki,wasstill considered sacredanddivine in ancientEgypt andwasof special importance to the royal family,who themselves were considered gods. King Tutankhamenwas buried with a now-famous solid goldmask.Coinscameintheformofringsofgold,silver,andcopper,eachwithaspecificweightcertifiedbythepriesthood.Coinswereprimarilyusedtopayforeignmercenaries,whowouldtakethemtotheirhome

countrytobeexchangedforgoodsandservices.TheconnectionbetweenchurchandstatemoneymanagementcontinuedthroughtheRomanEmpire.The

RomanConstitutiondecreed that theminingandcoinageofgoldwasunder theauthorityof theRomanpontiff. “JuliusCaesar erected the coinage of gold into a sacerdotal prerogative; this prerogativewasattachedtothesovereignandhissuccessors,notastheemperors,butasthehighpriestsofRome,”notedAlexander del Mar, the American economist and historian who became the first director of the U.S.Treasury’sBureauofStatisticsin1866.“Itwouldhavebeensacrilege,punishablebytorture,death,andanathema for any other prince than the sovereign-pontiff to strike coins of gold; it would have beensacrilegetogivecurrencytoanyothers;hencenootherChristianprince,noteventhepopeofRome,northe sovereign of theWestern orMedieval empire, attempted to coin gold while the ancient [Roman]Empiresurvived.”ItwasonlyfollowingthefallofConstantinoplein1204thatthelegalauthoritytocoinandregulatemoneybecametheprerogativeofkingsandnationalrulers.Due to the reachof their empire, theRomanswere able tominemore gold than theEgyptians.One

examplecanbeseenintheirrecords,whichnotedthatSpainshipped1,400tonsofgoldtoRomeeachyear.In 1717, the United Kingdom adopted the gold standard, renouncing it in 1931 due to market

manipulation,whichcauseddecliningprices.TheUnitedStates,whichhadprosperedsinceabolishingacentralbankin1836,soonadoptedthegoldstandard.GoldcertificatescirculatedintheUnitedStatesandcouldbeconvertedtogoldcoinsbyvisitinganybank.Butin1933,astheGreatDepressiondeepenedandbankrunsbecamemoreandmorecommon,anexecutiveorderbyPresidentFranklinRooseveltmandatedtheconfiscationofgoldinanefforttoinflatethedollar.ThegoldstandardwasformallyabandonedunderPresidentNixonin1971,butprivateownershipofgoldwasagainmadelegalin1974.In medieval Europe, only the most royal personages held gold. The common currency was copper

BACON’SINVISIBLECOLLEGEVestigesof theancientscienceofenergymanipulationwerepassedalong through theMiddleAgesviasecret-society initiations, symbols,andcoded language. InTheShadowofSolomon,LaurenceGardnertraced this “underground streamof knowledge” frommedieval alchemists throughSir FrancisBacon’sInvisible College tomoremodernMasonic lodges, many of whichwere infiltrated by themysteriousBavarian Illuminati. The brilliant Bacon, by several accounts the illegitimate son of England’sQueenElizabethI,oversawtheeditingoftheKingJamesBibleandisbelievedbymanyprominentpersonstobethetrueauthorofWilliamShakespeare’splaysandsonnetsJournalist A. E. Loosley wrote that “Francis Bacon was mainly, if not entirely, responsible for a

threefold undertaking, (1st) the Shakespearian Plays; (2nd) the creation in its present form ofFreemasonry,and(3rd)thetranslationoftheHolyBibleintoitspresentwell-knownAuthorizedVersion.Thethreewereundoubtedlyintermingled.”HealsoattributedanamazingcoincidenceofnamesinPsalms

to a code of Bacon, known to have been a Rosicrucian grandmaster and described as a “founder ofFreemasonry.”“I have been able, quite recently, to clear up one point of possible doubt and at the same time to

establishaclaimforitscertainty.Itwasinconnectionwiththat46thPsalm,inwhich,intheAuthorizedVersion, the 46th word from the beginning is ‘shake’ and the 46th from the end is ‘spear.’ Such anarrangement—especially in the 46th Psalm—would be a most remarkable coincidence if it were notintentionallysoarranged,”notedLoosley.TackedontotheendofPsalm46isthewordSelah,which isnotpartofthepsalmbutatermofunknownmeaning,thoughthoughtbyscholarstosignifyacueforthecongregationtopauseforaprayerorsong.“In order to satisfymyself on the question, I sought an opportunity of comparing thewording in the

translatingtheBible.IfFrancisBaconwasdiscountedasonlytheeditor,thatwouldleaveforty-six,thenumber of the psalm in question. “If this be true, and I feel one is justified in believing it, a veryinteresting light is thrown on the keenworking ofBacon’smind.The trickwould be one inwhich hewouldtakeakeendelight.”Bacon’s circle of friends included many Britons who undoubtedly had access to the elder secrets

carriedthroughtheKnightsTemplaronintoFreemasonry.TheseincludedChristopherMarlowe,EdmundSpenser,BenJonson,EdwarddeVere,JohnFletcher,andPhilipSidney,allofwhomwereconnectedtothenationalintelligenceservicecreatedbyQueenElizabeth.Thereisgoodreasontobelievethatmany,ifnotall,oftheseworthymencontributedtothewritingsofShakespeare.TheyalsowereearlyFreemasons,membersof that secret society created fromstonemasonguildsby theKnightsTemplar following theirdissolutionin1307.TheseFreemasonsecrets,throughmanygenerationsofinitiations,areintricatelytiedtoKingSolomon

and thebuildingofhisgreat temple.Whatmanydon’tknow is that thenameSolomon—aswellas thename ofKingDavid before him—was initially just a title.His real namewas Jedidiah.According toGardner, thenameofSolomon’s father “isuncertain, since the titular styleofDavidhaspredominated(althoughnever recordedasapersonalnamebefore that time).Mesopotamian texts from thepalaceofMarirefer,however,totheDavidum,equivalenttocaesaroremperor,andthetitlehasstuckasanametothepresentday.Inreality,SolomonandhissuccessorswereallDavids(Davidums).”Freemasonry’sbasicknowledgebeganwiththesecretsofKingSolomonhandeddownfromtheancient

gods.These includedmoneymanagement,constructionofarchesusingkeystones, lifesaving techniques,andevenhowtomakeamagneticcompass.SuchhiddenknowledgeoftheancientsthenmovedthroughthemysteryschoolsofEgyptandvia theHebrewexodusintoPalestine.Fromthere, itwaspassedintoEurope by theKnightsTemplar,who created Freemasonry from their stonemason guilds following theattacksbytheChurchin1307.ThebiblicalArkoftheCovenantappearsonthecoatofarmsoftheUnitedGrandLodgeofEngland,

THEMAGICOFGOLDBacon’sInvisibleCollegemembersandtheiralchemistcontemporaries,practicingablendofphilosophy,mysticism, astrology, and chemical technology, sought the power to create gold.However, contrary towhatmodernsbelieve,thisgoldwasnotnecessarilyintheformofnuggets,coins,orbars.Oneprominentseventeenth-centuryalchemistwasThomasVaughan,whocalledhimselfEirenaeusPhilalethes.Vaughanwrotethatthefabledphilosopher’sstonewasactually“nothingbutgolddigestedtothehighestdegreeofpurityandsubtlefixation…averyfinepowder.”Support for the idea thatalchemistswereattempting toduplicate theprocesses that transformedgold

intoawhitepowdercamefromAlchemy,TheAncientScience,byNeilPowell,whowrote,“Alchemistsusedabewilderingvarietyof ingredients in theirsearchfor thePhilosopher’sStone.Copperand lead,sulfur and arsenic, urine and bilewere but a few of them.

In Hebrew,mannaliterally means “What is it?” The duplication of the Egyptian cry of “What is it?” is not lost onresearchers.“Theyknewthereweresuperconductorsinherentinthehumanbody,”Gardnerwrote.“Theyknewthat

both the physical body and the light body [the spirit or soul] had to be fed to increase hormonal

His well-publicized claim of such weapons came despite assurances fromUnitedNationschiefweaponsinspectorHansBlix,officialsoftheInternationalAtomicEnergyAgency,andevenScottRitter,aformerU.S.weaponsinspector,thatIraqhadnonuclearorbiologicalweaponsofmass destruction.

From

As they grewwealthy and powerful, the

Khazar warlords determined that exchanging and loaning money would be more profitable and lesshazardous than raiding caravans. But they had one big problem. By the eighth century, Khazaria wasalmostevenlydividedamongChristians,Muslims,andJews.Atthattime,bothChristiansandMuslimsbelievedthatcharginginterestonaloan,calledusury,wasasin.OnlyJewscouldopenlychargeinterestonloans,especiallytonon-Jews.In740,Khazaria’skingBulan,whoclaimedtohavehadaheavenlyvision,becamethefirsttoadoptthe

religion of Judaism. By custom, everyone was expected to adopt the religion of their king, so everyKhazarbecameaprofessedJew,whetheroutofpragmatismorgenuinereligiosity.In969,afterenduringyears of attacks from surrounding clans and nations, Khazaria was overrun by ScandinavianmigrantscalledtheRusanddissolved.TheareacametobecalledRussia.ArthurKoestler,aJewishauthorand journalistwhogained international famewithhishistoryof the

Jews, entitled The Thirteenth Tribe, fled Eastern Europe during World War II and after a stay inPalestine,settledinBritainin1945.Koestler,writingin1978,statedthathisbook“waswrittenbeforethe full extent of the holocaust was known, but that does not alter the fact that the large majority ofsurvivingJewsintheworldareofEasternEuropean—andthusperhapsmainlyofKhazar—origin.Ifso,thiswouldmean that theirancestorscamenot fromtheJordanbut fromtheVolga,not fromCanaanbutfromtheCaucasus,oncebelievedtobethecradleoftheAryanrace;andthatgeneticallytheyaremore

These people were never connected to the Hebrews ofPalestine,althoughtheywere theoriginatorsofZionism,apoliticalmovement thatbeganinnineteenth-century Russia for the purpose of securing a Jewish “homeland” in the Middle East. As Koestlerexplained,“InthetwelfthcenturytherearoseinKhazariaaMessianicmovement,arudimentaryattemptataJewishcrusade,aimedattheconquestofPalestinebyforceofarms.TheinitiatorofthemovementwasaKhazar Jew, one Solomon benDuji (orRuhi orRoy), aided by his sonMenahem and a Palestinianscribe.TheywroteletterstoalltheJews,nearandfar,inallthelandsaroundthem.…TheysaidthatthetimehadcomeinwhichGodwouldgatherIsrael,Hispeople,fromalllandstoJerusalem,theholycity,andthatSolomonBenDujiwasElijah,andhissontheMessiah.”Duji’smovementlaterbecameknownasZionism.Later in life,KoestlerwasdiagnosedwithbothParkinson’sdiseaseandcancer.Despitebothhaving

left notes of farewell, some conspiracy researchers claim the 1983 suicide of Koestler and his wife,CynthiaJefferies,werecleverassassinationsbytheIsraeliMossadinretaliationforhishavingrevealedtoomuchtruehistory.ItshouldbenotedthatthegreatestopponentsofZionismwereOrthodoxJews,whodidnotbelieveit theirplaceto takeotherpeople’s landsbutrather toawait theirMessiah.SomeevenclaimthattheNaziHolocaustwasencouragedbysomeZioniststoeliminateOrthodoxrabbinicalleadersopposedtotheirmovement.If the Khazars are the progenitors of many Eastern European Jews, then this would include the

renowned Rothschild family, who financially ruled Europe for more than a century. Conspiracyresearcherscontendtheystilldominatetheworldfinancialorderandhavebeenthefinancialbackersofthe Rockefellers and other wealthy families. The Rothschilds claim as an ancestor Nimrod, the giantSumeriankingwhowassaidtobeadirectdescendantofNoahaswellasademigod.NimrodhasalsobeenassociatedwithMolech,avariationof theHebrewwordforkingor ruler.ThenameMolechhasbeen applied to Sumerian deities. The biblical patriarch Abraham confronted Nimrod about hisblasphemousworshipofMolech,simplyalaternamefortheAnunnakimoongodSin.This family’s cohesiveness, its power, its secrecy, and its wealth, all might explain why Mayer

Rothschildbelievedhisoft-repeatedquote,“Permitmetocontrol themoneyofanation,andIcarenotwhomakesitslaws.”WhenthefounderoftheRothschilddynasty,MayerAmschelRothschild,wrotehiswill,heexertedthe

right of primogeniture,whichmeans that only the eldest son in each generation can control the familywealth.Bythismethod,notonlyhastheRothschildfamilybeenheldtightlytogetherbut,asinthesecretsocieties, those familymemberswhoaren’t privy to the innermost controlhave littleknowledgeof itsfinancialdealings.FormertopexecutivesoftheRothschildscomplainedthattheyoftenwerekept“outofthe loop” on important decisions, so it is erroneous to blame the entireRothschild family for lack ofethics.RothschildbiographerDerekWilsondescribedthestayingpoweroftheRothschildfamilybystating,

“Genetics, mythology, deliberate training, the opportunities provided by wealth and connections—allhaveplayedtheirpartinproducingoneofthemostremarkable—perhapsthe [emphasisintheoriginal]

briberytohelpthemconductbusiness.ResearcherJohnChurchillywrotethat“AmericansshouldknowKhazar descendants secretly dominate every aspect of American life.

In1997,Feder studied thebook for severalmonths.Atleast twopersonsparticipated in its translation.Feder told this author, “Ihavenever seenabook likethis.”Feder’sappraisalofthebookessentiallywasthatitwas“priceless.”InMarch 1999, the book disappeared.A business associate ofDelittoso had borrowed it to use as

collateral fora loan,and then thepersonwhomade the loanallowedabusinesspartner toborrowthebook.This fellow sold thebook to anotherman for anundisclosedprice.Thisman, in turn, sold it toanotherperson,whosenamehasneverbecomeknown,andthebookwasgone,althoughseveralpersonshadhandled it andphotographsof somepages remain.Somehave speculated that someoneduring thisprocess realized the importanceof thebookand secreted it away.Theamazing story recounted in thisuncommon book is how theHabsburg linewas joinedwith a Jewish bloodline during the time of theThirdCrusade.ThebookrecordedthatFrederickIBarbarossa,crownedemperoroftheHolyRomanEmpirein1155,

Eventually, Albrecht’slineageledtotheEmperorMaximillianandthelaterHabsburgline.Franz Joseph’s book indicates that the Rothschild family is a part of the bloodline stemming from

AlbrechtII,meaningthattheHabsburgsandtheRothschildssharedacommonJewishancestor.Thispartof the Habsburg history was carefully hidden during the years that anti-Semitism grew in Europe.Apparently,incommissioningthisextraordinarybook,EmperorFranzJosefhaddecideditwastimethatthe entire family learnedof their heritage.Some suspect that this untoldhistorymayhavebeenknownwithintheRothschildfamily,whichcouldgofarinexplainingtheirsupportforlaterGermanregimes.Bluebloodsbelievethat,duetotheirancestry,theyhavearighttocontrolothers.Perhapsithasbeen

NOBODYEXPECTSTHESPANISHINQUISITIONFrom time immemorial, religionhasbeen the first-choicemethodofcontrolofpopulationsby theblue

bloodelite. “Godordainedme to tellyouhow to liveandwhat to tithe”was theword fromreligiousauthoritiesfromancientSumertothepresentday.Sinceitsformation,theRomanChurchhasperpetratedanumber of crimes—including the massacres of the Cathars and Native Americans, the Crusades, theInquisitionandthekillingofthosedeemed“witches”and“heretics,”andthechurch’scozyrelationshipwithHitler’sThirdReichanditsattendantHolocaust.TheChurchhasalsobeenquitegoodatcoveringitstracks.BarbaraG.Walker, award-winning author of theWomen’s Encyclopedia ofMyths and Secrets, has

pointedtoHenryCharlesLea’s1888studyoftheInquisition,AHistoryoftheInquisitionoftheMiddleAges, as being illustrative of Church practices. “Even in his time, Lea said, Vatican authorities werealready beginning secretly to destroy most of these damning records. The Inquisition was the worstholocaust in European history; it lasted nearly five centuries; and yet the church was succeeding inmisrepresenting its extent and its impact in their official histories.Thiswasmy earliest realization ofpatriarchy’spropensitytolieitselfintorespectability.”AddingtoWalker’sinsight,NewZealandresearcherMartinDoutréstated,“We’redeludingourselves

ifwethinkweliveinsomekindof‘brightnewage’ofenlightenmentandthatthe‘DarkAges’passedintomemorycenturiesago.ThepowerbasethatrantheInquisitionswasneverdismantledandremainsmorestrongly in place today than ever, controlling, directing, misleading, deceiving, suppressing,propagandizing,warmongering,persecuting,dominatingandexploiting,etc.,etc.”Doutrépointed to the church’spersecutionofGalileoas a classic exampleof religiousperfidy.The

aging astronomer-mathematician simply tried to explain that theEarth revolved around the sun andnotviceversaaspresentedinchurchdogma,butwasfinallyforcedtorecantbeforethecourtofInquisitionratherthanendhisdaysinthetorturer’sdungeon.DuringthetimeoftheInquisition,churchauthoritiestaughttheignorantmassesthattheEarthwasflat.

YOUCANBANKONTHISSinceatleastthetimeoftheBabylonians,religiousinstitutionshavereliedonfinancialinstitutions.Thepattern involvedblending the financesofmoneychangerswith theprevailing religionas ifmoneywasGod-ordained.The Roman Empire, especially after Christianity became the official state religion, accelerated the

spread of the money changers, whose reach extended into the highest levels of Roman society. “Theresult,” according to Joseph P. Farrell, “was that the Mesopotamian and Syrian money changers andmerchantseffectivelycolonizedRome’sprovincesborderingtheMediterraneanSea,RomanbankingwasallbutmonopolizedintheirhandsastheinfluenceofMesopotamianmysterycultsextendedthroughouttheEmpire,andtheactivitiesofthetemplecontinuedtobeassociatedwithcommerce.”FollowingthefalloftheRomanEmpire,themoneychangersmovedintonorthernEurope.In1602,the

DutchcharteredtheDutchEastIndiaCompany,andtheybegantosettleSouthAfrica.WilliamofOrange,scion of one of the eliteDutch bloodlines, in 1688 invadedEngland and becameKingWilliam III. In1691,WilliaminitiatedthegrowthoftheglobalbankingsystembycreatingtheBankofEngland,whichledtothegrowthoftheBritishEmpire.By1820,theRothschildbankingdynastyhadgainedcontroloftheBankofEngland,thankstoloansmadetoPrinceRegentGeorgeAugustusFrederick(notethehistorical

declineof theRomanChurch,as italsoallowedfor theprintingof theBible,aswellaspapermoney.Beforeprintedpapermoney,gold,silver,andcoppercoins,beads,shells,andevensticksofwoodwereusedascurrency.After the inventionofprinting,papermoneybegan to replacereligionas theprimarycontrolmechanismoftheelite.DuringthereignofEngland’sKingHenryI,peopleusedtallysticks,notchescarvedintowoodorbone,

thefact that theSouthdesired tobuy less-costly importedEuropeanproductseven though thepowerfulNorthern manufacturers had imposed stiff import tariffs. These tariffs were raised even higher afterSouthern congressmen left Washington in 1861.

advocatedmonetary control through anationalized central bank rather thanprivatebanks andbelievedthatfinancialinterestshadenslavedthepopulationbycontrollingthemoneysupply.OneoftheplatformsoftheNaziPartywasthebreakingof“debt-slavery”—inotherwords,interestpayments.

“WhenlisteningtoGottfriedFeder’sfirstlectureaboutthe‘BreakingoftheTyrannyofInterest,’IknewimmediatelythatthequestioninvolvedwasatheoreticaltruthwhichwouldreachenormousimportancefortheGermanpeople’sfuture,”wroteHitlerinMeinKampf.“…Germany’sdevelopmentalreadystoodbeforemyeyestooclearlyformenottoknowthatthehardestbattlehadtobefought,notagainsthostilenations,butratheragainstinternationalcapital.…ThefightagainstinternationalfinanceandloancapitalhasbecomethemostimportantpointintheprogramoftheGermannation’sfightforitsindependenceandfreedom.”Unfortunately,Hitler’s viewnarrowed fromall international finance to only internal Jewishfinance.In1933,Germany, likeAmerica,was in thedepthsof theGreatDepression.A large segmentof the

NationalSocialisttakeoverofGermanyinthe1930s.Inbothnations,anattackonaprominentbuildingled to rushed legislation reducing civil liberties, followed by the gradual erosion of civil law, themilitarization of the police, torture, indefinite detention, andwar. In Berlin, theReichstag,Germany’sparliamentbuilding,wassetablazeinearly1933.Ahalf-witnamedMarinusvanderLubbewasarrestedand, after torture, confessed to setting the fire alone. After the disaster, the German president vonHindenberg blamed the communists for a conspiracy and declaredmany key civil liberties ofGermancitizens nullified. The legislature then passed the Enabling Act, which allowed Hitler in his role aschancellor to consolidate all of the country’s legislative powers in his hands, effectively makingGermany’sconstitutionmoot.HitleralsoconsolidatedallofGermany’spoliceagenciesunderthepretextoffatherlandsecurity.Similarly,intheUnitedStatesinthefirstyearsofthetwenty-firstcentury,theWorldTrade Center towers were destroyed, blame was placed on terrorists—this time they were MiddleEasternfanatics—andthePATRIOTActwaspassedbyCongress,effectivelylimitingcivillibertiesinthe

toanofficialdescription,was“tocontributetoexchangeratestabilityandcounterdisorderlyconditionsin the foreignexchangemarket.”Theact authorized the secretaryof the treasury toexclusivelydeal ingold, foreign exchange, securities, and instruments of credit subject to the approval of the president.While ownership of gold was outlawed for Americans in 1933, the ESF transferred gold out of thecountrytoforeignersinexchangefordollars,drainingourgoldreservesforyearstocome.Today,whenpeople blame theFederalReserve for stealingAmerica’s gold reserves, they should know that itwasactually theESF, never scrutinized or questioned byCongress, that drained theFederalReservemanyyearsago.Under agreementswith the InternationalMonetaryFund (IMF), in1978Congress amended theGold

that such interconnectednesswasworrisome, as itmight bringon instability inworldmarkets. “If one[company] suffers distress, this propagates,” saidGlattfelder,who added that perhaps there should beglobalantitrustrulestolimitsuchcentralizedcontrol.Onesuggestionofferedwasataxoncorporationsthatdisplayexcessiveinterconnectivity.TheSwissresearcherslimitedtheirstudytocorporationsandneversoughttoanalyzethefamily,social,

Society,has tracedGeorgeW.Bush’s family tree to sixteenU.S.presidentsbesideshis father:GeorgeWashington,MillardFillmore,FranklinPierce,AbrahamLincoln,UlyssesGrant,RutherfordB.Hayes,JamesGarfield,GroverCleveland,TeddyRoosevelt,WilliamH.Taft,CalvinCoolidge,HerbertHoover,FranklinD.Roosevelt,RichardNixon,andGeraldFord.Moreover,theBushfamily,accordingtoseveralsources,iscloselyrelatedtothekingofAlbaniaandhaskinshipwitheverymemberoftheBritishroyalfamily and theHouse ofWindsor. They are related to twentyBritish dukes, andGeorgeW.Bush is athirteenth cousin of Britain’s queen mother, and of her daughter, Queen Elizabeth II. George W. isthirteenthcousinonceremovedfromPrinceCharlesandhasdirectdescentfromKingHenryIII,CharlesII, and Edward I of England. According to Burke’s Peerage, even former president Bill Clinton isgeneticallyrelatedtotheHouseofWindsor.Many are unaware that theWindsors, the royal family of England, originally were known by their

Germanname,Sachsen-CoburgundGotha,aGermandynasty,oftenshortenedtoSaxe-Coburg-Gotha.Thechange toWindsor cameduringWorldWar I,whenEnglandwas atwarwithGermany and therewas

considerable anti-German sentiment. To distance themselves from their German heritage, on July 17,1917,QueenVictoria’sgrandsonKingGeorgeVofficiallydeclaredthatallmaledescendantsofQueenVictoriawouldbearthenameWindsor.ThenameWindsorcamefromacastleownedbythefamily.SixBritish monarchs, including Queen Victoria and King George III, who ruled during the AmericanRevolution,weremembersoftheGermanHouseofHanover.In1947,England’sElizabethIImarriedPrincePhilip,herthirdcousin,thesonofAliceofBattenburg

and amemberof theHouseofSchleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg.Philipwas anoffspringofGreekandDanish royal families,born inGreece.After serving in theRoyalNavyafterWorldWar II,Philip became a British citizen and adopted the nameMountbatten.With Elizabeth’s ascension to thethrone in 1952, it was assumed shewould take her husband’s name,Mountbatten, but her family andWinstonChurchillinsistedsheretainthenameWindsor.ThroughanOrderinCouncilin1960,thenameMountbatten-WindsorwasadoptedforPhilipandElizabeth’smale-linedescendants.PhillipEugenedeRothschild,aRothschilddescendantnowlivinginAmerica,explainedtoDavidIcke

that the German Battenberg bloodline is joined with the Bauer-Rothschild bloodline in a “Rothsburgdynasty” that traces itsancestryback toAeneas. InGreekandRomanmythology,AeneaswasaTrojansoldierwhowassaidtobeahumanhybrid,sonofthegoddessVenus,aswellasthefatherofRomulusandRemus,thefoundersofRome.The claim that both European and American rulers are related to the ancient bloodlines has been

disputed. It has been said that nearly everyone can be genetically connected to everyone else. Onegenealogist calculated that as of 2001 therewere657 living legitimate descendants ofEngland’sKingGeorgeIIIand4,982livingdescendantsofGeorgeI.“Thereareprobablymoreillegitimatedescendantsthan legitimateones.George I is11generations fromPrinceWilliam (via senior line).ButEdwardofWindsorisanother12generationsbackfromGeorgeI.Hecouldhave20millionlivingdescendants.AndCharlemagneisanother19generationsbackfromEdward.ThemajorityofpeopleinEuropeandnorthernAmericaaredescendedfromhim,”statedtheunnamedgenealogistinYahoo’sAnswerssection.The idea thatanypersoncanbegenealogically linked toanyothercameintobeingwithauniversity

study indicating that any individual is only about six steps of acquaintance away from any person onEarth.ActorKevinBacon,who once commented that he hadworkedwith everyone inHollywood orsomeonewhohadworkedwitheveryone,evenbecametheobjectofatriviagameentitledSixDegreesofKevin Bacon, in which participants try to connect any person in Hollywood to Bacon as quickly aspossible.Ofcourse,beinggenealogicallyconnectedandbeingmerelyanacquaintanceare twoentirelyseparatethings.Whilegamesandstatisticsseemtodisparagetheideathatcertainbloodlineshavepasseddown knowledge, rule, and royalty throughout human history, many still feel disquieted that so manyworldleaders,includingU.S.presidents,havebeenconnectedtotheroyalbloodlinesofEurope,peoplewho trace their line back to the dynasties of Egypt, Babylon, and Sumer.

recentlythepublichasbecomeprivytostudiessuggestingthedangersoffluoridetoxicity.Internationalauthor and medical writer Mary Sparrowdancer noted that, since the 1930s, German and Austrianscientists knew how to treat overactive thyroids by bathing a person in fluoride. This was effectivebecause fluoride blocked thyroid function. “For the US government, long partnered with thepharmaceutical industry, to then force this same treatment on a nation of peoplewith healthy thyroidsunder the lie that fluoride ‘prevents cavities in children,’ is unconscionable. TheNuremberg Code ofethicspertainingtohumanexperimentationlabelsitanactofcrime,stating,‘Thevoluntaryconsentofthehuman subject is absolutely essential.’ Today, 70 percent of the US is being forced to receive thisthyroid-blockingchemicalvia theirwaterwithoutconsentormedicalmonitoringforoverdose,allergicreactionorblockedthyroidfunction.”Symptoms of thyroid damage and fluoride poisoning include weight gain, edema, kidney disease,

kidneyfailure,hairloss,depression,aggression,aches,pains,skinproblems,bonedeformitiesincludingarthritis,sexual/erectiledysfunction,memoryloss,weakness,fatigue,heartdisease,irritability,digestivedisorders,andcancer.Asthedangersoffluoridereachmoreofthepublic,anincreasingnumberofcitiesandcommunitieshaveabandoned the fluoridationof theirwater supply, apractice initiated in thepastwith little or nodebate.This is due to the fact thatmanyof these cities didn’t evenhave a choice onfluorideinthefirstplace.AccordingtotheformerheadoftheHarvardSchoolofDentalMedicine,JamesM.Dunning,“Thebigcities in theUnitedStatesweremostly fluoridatedbyexecutiveaction insuchawayastoavoidpublicreferenda.”Andfluoridemightbeinmorethanjustourdrinkingwater.A2005studyattheWashingtonUniversity

advocating reducing the world’s population through unsavory means. In their bookEcoscience, theseauthors promote involuntary abortions and sterilization by infertility chemicals placed in food anddrinking water to rid society of those they believed contributed to “social deterioration.” They alsoadvocatedanarmedinternationalpoliceforcetoenforcea“planetaryregime”overaglobaleconomyandsocialactivities.Holdren,inApril2009,thenservingasdirectoroftheWhiteHouseOfficeofScienceandTechnology

UnliketheBritishgovernment,which,toitsgreatcredit,allowedpublicdebateontheideaofacentral data bank, the NSA obtained the full cooperation of much of the American telecomindustry in utmost secrecy after September 11 [2001]. For example, the agency built secretrooms in AT&T’s major switching facilities where duplicate copies of all data are diverted,screened for key names and words by computers, and then transmitted on to the agency foranalysis.Thus,thesenewcentersinUtah,Texas,andpossiblyelsewherewilllikelybecomethecentralized repositories for the data intercepted by the NSA in America’s version of the “bigbrotherdatabase”rejectedbytheBritish.

MOREEFFICIENTSERVITUDESome believe that a great deal of the control over our society comes from an organization called theTavistockInstituteofHumanRelations.OriginallytheTavistockClinic,establishedinSussex,England,in 1921by royal command, it hadbeen a research center for theBritishSpecial IntelligenceServices(SIS).Theclinic’sfounder,BrigadierGeneralJohnRawlingsReese,hadbeenworkingondevisingwaystomanipulatepoliticalcampaignsandpublicperceptions.In1947,keymembersoftheclinicformedtheTavistockInstituteofHumanRelations,whichwasfundedbyagrantfromtheRockefellerFoundation.In2006,theInstitutemergedwiththePortmanClinic,apsychotherapyservicesclinicinLondon,tobecometheTavistockandPortmanNationalHealthServiceFoundationTrust.In a book on the institute, JohnColeman noted that it took shape prior toWorldWar I forwartime

public relations. Tavistock’s leadership was given to two brothers—the Harmsworth brothers—whowerealsoknownasLordRothermereandLordNorthcliffe.“Tavistockbeganasapropagandacreatingand disseminating organization centered atWellingtonHouse,where the original organizationwas puttogether,withtheintentofshapingapropagandacenterthatwouldbreakdownthestiffpublicresistancebeingencounteredtotheloomingwarbetweenBritainandGermany.”Colemanadded,

Fundingwasprovidedby theBritish royal family, and later by theRothschilds towhomLordNorthcliffe was related through marriage. Arnold Toynbee was later selected as Director ofFutureStudiesattheRoyalInstituteofInternationalAffairs(RIIA).TwoAmericans,[journalistand media commentator] Walter Lippmann and Edward Bernays [“the father of publicrelations”],wereappointedtohandlethemanipulationofBritishandAmericanpublicopinionin preparation for the entry of the United States into World War I and to brief and directPresidentWoodrowWilson,whileToynbeeconcentratedonchangingBritishpublicopinion.

WhenJohnRawlingsReesecameinlateron,hetooktheoriginalmissionoftheorganizationonestepfurther.Reesewanted to control political campaigns and develop certain types of publicmind-controltechniques. According to Coleman, “It was Reese who launched the method of controlling politicalcampaigns, aswell asmindcontrol techniques,whichcontinue to thisveryday, and itwasReeseandTavistockwhotaughttheUSSR,NorthVietnam,ChinaandVietnamhowtoapplyhistechniques—alltheyeverwantedtoknowabouthowtobrainwashindividualsoramasspeople,”wroteColeman.Researchers at Tavistock found that the same psychotherapy techniques used to cure a mentally ill

person could be reversed and used against a normal one. Coleman stated, “The modus operandidevelopedbyReeseandhisgurusoftamperingwithmindsprovedhighlyeffective,andisstillinwideuse in America today. … We are tampered with, our opinions manufactured for us, all without our

permission.Whatwasthepurposeofthesebehaviormodifications?Itwastobringaboutforcedchangestoourwayoflife,withoutouragreementandwithoutevenbeingawareofwhatwastakingplace.”ColemansaidthatTavistock’stacticshavebeenadoptedbymanyorganizations,fromtheglobalthink

book1984andAldousHuxleyinBraveNewWorld.Ina1949lettertoOrwell,Huxleywrote,

WithinthenextgenerationIbelievethattheworld’srulerswilldiscoverthatinfantconditioning[dumbed-downeducation]andnarco-hypnosis[drugging]aremoreefficient,as instrumentsofgovernment, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completelysatisfiedbysuggestingpeople into loving theirservitudeasby floggingandkicking themintoobedience. In otherwords, I feel that the nightmare of1984 is destined tomodulate into thenightmareofaworldhavingmoreresemblanceto thatwhichI imaginedinBraveNewWorld.Thechangewillbebroughtaboutasaresultofafeltneedforincreasedefficiency.Meanwhile,ofcourse, theremaybealargescalebiologicalandatomicwar—inwhichcaseweshallhavenightmaresofotherandscarcelyimaginablekinds.

Although his family was not wealthy, they were neverthelessmembersoftheBritishgentry,andBlairmanagedtostudyatEton,wherehemetAldousHuxley.Etonhaslong been accused of being a central education center for Britain’s elite families.

In the book, the world had been divided into three economic blocscalled Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia. Today, we witness the existing European Union, the much-mentionedNorthAmericanUnion,andafutureAsianunion.Blair’sneologisms—doublethink,Newspeak,andThoughtPolice—reflectcurrenttrendsandnowarebeingusedwidelybyconspiracywriters.

Concernsoverwhatmanyseeasamove towarda totalitarianpolice statehave revived theage-oldqueries: Who are we? Why are we here? Where are we going? A growing number of people arequestioningthenatureofour“reality.”Whyareallpathsandaidstoself-discoverycontinuallydeniedusby religious and secular authorities?Why are the air, water, and food of ourworld being filledwithtoxins thathinderbothphysical and spiritualdevelopment?Why is almost everythinghumansnaturallyenjoydiscouraged,restricted,controlled,oroutlawed?Willitbeonlyahandfulofyouthfulprotesterswhostandagainsttheconcentratedpowerofthebanks
