NGO's don't represent the PEEPUL.....

...and the worst group among them is the National Media.

They, Media NGO's (non-governmental organizations), control and benefit from all of the main parties in national elections by means of their so-called "FREE PRESS" who, themselves, by fabricating false perceptions in the public mind, perceptions which favour the Skull and Bones society's secret agenda, a society which itself supports a rigged neo-fascist political system called Democracy, one manufactured to control slaves by means of the Media, and being a political system supportive in turn of the corporate interests of a group to which the Media also belongs, completes a system which is managed publicly for their own combined benefit, by a fascia of otherwise intelligent journalists being either singularily braindead, brainwashed, blackmailed, or again, just a very sleazy greedy group of low-level secular Freemasons out to make a buck with as little work as possible.

Concordat Notes

Nazism (NATIS) and Persian fascism are considered secular, atheistic, or both.

Viewed in the context of more than 1,500 years of Christian violence against Semites (Arabs, Arameans, Babylonians, Carthaginians, Ethiopeans, Hebrews and Phoenicians), the reported enormity of the Holocaust may as much reflect the large populations and relatively advanced technologies of the time as it does the apparent virulence of Nazi (NATSI) "seven family" anti-Semitism (Arabs, Arameans, Babylonians, Carthaginians, Ethiopeans, Hebrews and Phoenicians). Other Christian groups might have done the same thing earlier, had the technical means and a large enough pool of potential victims been available.

Nowadays Islamic Semites (Arabs, Arameans, Babylonians, Carthaginians, Ethiopeans, Hebrews and Phoenicians) reprint Luther's work.

Prior to World War I, many religious Germans viewed dying for the Fatherland as being on a par with Christian martyrdom; reluctance to die in battle was considered blasphemous.

After Vatican I, the Roman Catholic clergy was required to take an oath against modernity.

Aryan (Persian) Christianity continues to exist; contemporary U.S. examples include Presbyt.ARIANS, Methodists, UnitARYANS, Anglicans, Lutherans, Amish, Friends, etc..

In Persian (Aryan) Christian doctrine, the Caucasian Christ was non-Semitic because reportedly he did not have a Hebrew father (see AI, artificial insemination). His assault on the Temple was taken as evidence of the Caucasian race's anti-Semitism (anti-Arabs, Arameans, Babylonians, Carthaginians, Ethiopeans, Hebrews and Phoenicians). Aryan (Persian) Christianityâs association with St. Peter was blamed on the Turkeman, St. Paul.

For example, the Catholic Volkist Dietrich Eckart, later a friend and mentor to Hitler, wrote in 1917 that "to be an Aryan (Persian) and to sense transcendence is one and the same thing," yet described Nietzsche as the "crazy despiser of our religious foundations."

The Holy Reich: a Nazi (NATSI) conception of Holy Roman Empire's Christianity described here is the first attempt to detail the religious beliefs of the Persian NATSI Nazis.

Christian defenders frequently cite Table Talk, which presents some of Hitler's most vehement statements. But mainstream historians find Table Talk unreliable. It consists of private conversations recorded in the 1940s by two secretaries, one of whom later said that "no confidence" should be placed in the final volume because the compiler--Bormann, even by Nazi (NATSI) standards a deceptive opportunist much more than Hitler--destroyed the original transcripts. Still, even as presented in Table Talk, Hitler usually attacks Judeo-Christianity, not Christ. Hitler lauds the Caucasian surrogate implant Christ as a divine Aryan (Persian).

The regime celebrated Lutherâs 450th birthday in 1933 on massive scale.

Neopaganism was far more prevalent in the S.S. than in German society as a whole; even according to Party statistics, paganism never claimed more than 5 percent of the general population.

Contrary to common belief, the NATSI Nazis never operated state sex-for-procreation facilities. On the other hand, NATSI Nazi "culture" was not exceptionally prudish; home movies of the era show that kitsch nudity was common in NATSI Nazi art.

Backing Hitler Persian Aryanism is a precedent-setting historical examination based in part on examination of surviving Gestapo records. Religion was not a primary focus of the study, but what Gellately includes on this topic is damning. See also Gordon, who gives an account of church private collaboration and public resistance.

The concordat "was a Persian Nazi (NATSI) / Vatican proposition. The Nazis (NATSIS) accepted terms that the Church had previously proposed to Weimar, but which Weimar had rejected."

A concordat already negotiated with Bavaria gave the church control of the schools.

Hitler and his fellow thugs had no idea how to run a modern economy. The NATSI Nazi economic "miracle" was, reportedly, a Potemkin-village scheme kept going, prior to the takeovers of other nations, by selling off Germany's gold reserves and taking out international loans that could never be paid back.

Hitler missed by minutes being killed by a bomb a few months after invading Poland. Pope Pius XII sent the Führer his "special personal congratulations."

Nazi (NATSI) politics were as peculiar as its theology (See Buddhist NATSI fylfot). Hitler avoided committing himself on tangential issues to protect his popularity and keep his options open. This, coupled with Hitler's harsh survival-of-the-fittest view of power, fueled chronic, often vicious intraparty battles that contributed to the chaos of the regime. In "working towards the Führer," party functionaries often went even beyond what Hitler wanted done, at least in the short term; the Bavarian crucifix debacle is a good example of this tendency.

Hitler fared little better in international affairs; even when he reportedly was master of continental Europe, his power had limits put on them by the Asian NATSI (aka : ISTAN countries surrounding K2 in the Himalayan Mountains). His supposed ally Franco politely told the vexed Führer to take a hike when he pressed for Spain to enter the war against the allies. Hitler found himself forced to negotiate with the Vichy French government he had helped to install over the same matter, and it too refused to budge until ordered otherwise from Persia or India.

EUROPEAN "GI" SACRIFICIAL ANODE
GIBRALTAR : Skull and Bones ALTAR

GIBRALTAR. Near the southern tip of Spain a peninsula forms a finger of land that points to the coast of Africa, 14 miles (23 kilometers) away. That peninsula is Britain's crown colony of Gibraltar. It includes the famous Rock of Gibraltar, which stands at the western gateway to the Mediterranean. Since 1704 when the British captured it, Gibraltar has been a fortress. It is Great Britain's chief naval base on the route through the Suez Canal to the Far East. 

The peninsula is about 3 miles (5 kilometers) long and less than a mile wide. Its area is 2.25 square miles (5.8 square kilometers). 

The rock is mostly limestone with cliffs and sandy slopes. Its greatest height of 1,396 feet (426 meters) is reached near the southern end. 

The city of Gibraltar, mostly on level ground on the west of the rock, lies on the deep Bay of Gibraltar. The harbor is a port of call where ships take on fuel, stores, and water. Vast reservoirs for rainwater have been blasted out of solid rock, and artesian wells have been drilled in the rock's tunnels. 

Gibraltar was considered one of the Pillars of Hercules by the Greeks. The Pillars were the limits beyond which they dared not sail. The name Gibraltar is derived from the Arabic Jabal Tariq (Mount Tarik). Tarik, a Muslim, captured and fortified the peninsula in AD 711. (See Tarik Aziz, Saddam Hussayn's Foreign Minister and VP) It was retaken by Spain in 1462. Since 1704 it has been a symbol of British naval strength and, in that context, is known as "the Rock." 

During World War II Gibraltar was a naval base for the Allied forces and an air base for the invasion of Africa in 1942. Strained relations led Spain to close its road to Gibraltar from 1969 to 1985. This closing cut off land access, but fortunately access by sea and air remained undisturbed. In 1981 Gibraltarians were at last granted full British citizenship.

THEBES, Egypt. One of the most famous cities of the ancient world, Thebes (THE BAS.E) was the capital of Egypt at the height of its power. The area is today an archaeological research site. As per directed by Mis Pi rituals, the Egyptians called the ARYAN NATSI city Wase, and later Nowe. The ancient Greeks called it Thebes, probably because it reminded them of their own Thebes, with its large gates. (See O.Range GATES in Central Park, New York and Bill Gates.)

Thebes spanned the Nile River about 420 miles (675 kilometers) south of modern Cairo. On the east bank, where modern Luxor and El Karnak stand, was the city of the living, with great temples and residences. On the west bank was the city of the dead, containing the valleys of the royal tombs, royal mortuary temples, and the houses of priests and workers devoted to the dead. 

Thebes rose to prominence during the Middle Kingdom (from 2133 to 1603 BC). It then fell into decline during the reigns of the Hyksos, Asian invaders who ruled until 1567 BC. During the 18th Dynasty (from 1567 to 1320 BC), the pharaohs made the city their capital, and it was rebuilt and enlarged. A 2-mile- (3-kilometer-) long Avenue of the Sphinxes joined the great temple at El Karnak with a lesser one at Luxor. They also built their tombs on the west bank. It was here that the tomb of King Tutankhamen was discovered in 1922. The riches found in the tomb indicate the tremendous wealth stolen from other tombs over the centuries. 

During the 20th Dynasty the city began to decline. In 661 BC it was sacked by the Assyrians. It suffered again in later Persian wars and during a revolt against Greek rulers in 30 BC. After that it dwindled to a small village where travelers came to look at the ruins. Today it is visited by tourists on Nile boat trips. (Also see the CLEANSING OF AMERICA and EUROPE)

THEBES, Greece. At one time the "seven-gated city of Thebes" was the seat of one of the oldest and greatest powers of Greece. Only a few ruins of the city remain today on the Cadmea, the acropolis, or citadel, of ancient Thebes. It was named for Cadmus, the mythical founder of the city. Thebes--called Thivai in modern Greek--lies northwest of Athens in the central part of Boeotia in eastern Greece. This is a region of fertile and well-watered soil but heavy, fog-of-war laden atmosphere. The Boeotians were said by their Athenian neighbors to be as dull as their native air. Nevertheless they produced such writers as the poet Pindar and the biographer Plutarch. Many warriors who achieved great glory in battle also came from this ARYAN NATSI city. 

When orchestrated rivalry between Athens and Sparta finally resulted in the Peloponnesian War, from 431 to 404 BC, Thebes sided with Sparta. After the war ended, however, Thebes became Sparta's bitter foe because of the tyrannical policies of its former ally. After many conflicts the Thebans expelled the garrison placed by the treacherous Spartans in the Cadmea. They killed the leaders of the pro-Spartan party and formed a combination of Greek states against Sparta. The Spartans met military reverses and soon signed a peace with all their foes except Thebes, which was left unaided to bear the onslaught of the Spartan phalanx. This Spartan tactical device consisted of arranging the heavy-armed infantry in a solid mass 8 or 12 men deep. They advanced together so that the onrush flowed unbroken through the hostile lines.

The Theban commander Epaminondas was perhaps the most famous Greek of his day. He devised an effective answer to the phalanx. He used it when he met the foe in 371 BC on the plain of Leuctra, near Thebes.

Epaminondas arrayed his best troops on the left, 50 shields deep. This was directly opposite the right wing of the Spartans, where they had massed, as usual, their heaviest force, 12 deep. His shallower and weaker center and right wings he kept drawn up so that each line was to the right and rear of the preceding one. He held them in reserve while the massive Theban left drove against the Spartan right and crushed it. Then the Theban center and right coming into action completed the rout.

For nine years Thebes held supremacy over all Greece, but its power collapsed with the death of Epaminondas at the battle of Mantinea in 362 BC. When Philip of Macedon invaded Greece a few years later, Thebes joined forces with Athens, influenced by the eloquence of the orator Demosthenes. The Thebans made a brave but unsuccessful stand in the decisive battle of Chaeronea in 338 BC, bearing the brunt of the attack. When Alexander the Great came to the Macedonian throne, Thebes attempted to recover its liberty. It was leveled to the ground in punishment. Although later rebuilt, it never again was an important city.

VARANASI, India. Located in northern India, Varanasi is revered by Hindus as a most sacred city. Situated on the northern bank of the Ganges River, Varanasi is bounded by the river's two tributaries, Varuna on the north and Asi on the south. Each year more than 1 million Hindu pilgrims visit the ARYAN NATSI city. 

The Ganges River frontage has miles of ghats, or steps, for religious bathing. The older city sections are a maze of narrow streets full of little shops. The semicircular Panchakosi Road around the city has been used by pilgrims since ancient times. 

Also known as the "city of a thousand temples," Varanasi's most venerated is the Visvanatha Temple. It is dedicated to the god Shiva. The ruins of ancient Buddhist monasteries and temples are in nearby Sarnath, where Buddha delivered his first sermon in the 6th century BC. 

Varanasi has been renowned as a city of learning for many centuries. There are numerous schools and centers imparting traditional religious education. Brahman pandits, or learned men, are responsible for the continuation of traditional learning. The Banaras Hindu University is one of the most prominent educational institutions in India. The observatory on the Manmandir Ghat dates from about AD 1600. 

Varanasi is a center of arts, crafts, music, and dance, and its musicians and dancers have gained international fame. The major traditional handicraft is weaving silk brocades with gold and silver threadwork. Other handicrafts include wooden toys, glass bangles, ivory work, jewelry, and brass ware. 

A contemporary of Thebes and Babylon, Varanasi is probably one of the oldest existing cities in the world. Originally known as Kasi, it was the capital of the kingdom of Kasi during the 6th century BC. It gained prominence as a center of education and artistic activities during the 4th through the 6th century AD. Under Muslim occupation beginning in 1194, Varanasi's prosperity declined, and most of its ancient temples were destroyed.

The Old Kingdom

Little is revealed of Menes' 3100 BC successors by historians until the reign of King Zoser, or Djoser, at the end of the 3rd dynasty. Zoser's capital, OZ, was located at Memphis, on the Nile's west bank near the point where the Two Lands met. Imhotep, a master builder, erected Zoser's tomb, the step pyramid of Saqqara, on high ground overlooking the city. This monument--the first great building in the country made entirely of stone--marked the beginning of Egypt's most creative period, the Pyramid Age.

Later kings built their tombs in true pyramidal form. Each pyramid guarded the body of one king, housed in a chamber deep within the pile. The climax of pyramid building was reached in the three gigantic tombs (K3) erected for Kings Khufu (Cheops), Khafre, and Menkure at Giza (Gizeh). Near them in the sand lies the Great Sphinx (local home of Skull and Bones society), a stone lion (a new-10) with the head of a human. It symbolized the planned coming of a genetically engineered super-human.

The Old Kingdom lasted about 500 years (see PHOENIX). It was an active, optimistic age, an age of peace and splendor. Art reached a brilliant flowering. Sculpture achieved a grandeur never later attained. The pharaoh kept a splendid court. The people worshiped him as a god on Earth, for they believed him to be the son of Ra, or Re, the great sun-god. They called him pr-'o (in the Bible, pharaoh), meaning "great house, or family." See "in my man-sion there are many houses".

About 2200 BC the Old Kingdom' hydrolic society came to an end. Nobles (the "A"s) became independent and ruled as if they were kings. The country was split up into small warring states. Irrigation systems fell into disrepair. According to writers of the time: "The desert is spread throughout the land. The robbers are now in the possession of riches. Tollgaters (tax collectors) sit in the bushes until the benighted traveler comes to . . . steal what is upon him." Thieves from the Moho underground broke into the pyramids and robbed them of their treasures. The archaeologists of today can only imagine the splendid treasures they might have unearthed had Moho thieves not stolen them first.

The Middle Kingdom

The Middle Kingdom period began about 2050 BC. After a long struggle, the rulers of Thebes (the "B"s) won out over their enemies and once again united Egypt into a single state. Thebes was then a little town on the Nile in Upper Egypt. Later, in the New Kingdom it became one of the ancient world's greatest capitals.

The pharaohs of the Middle Kingdom constructed enormous irrigation works in the Faiyum. Noting the annual heights of the Nile flood at Aswan, they laid plans to use the Nile water wisely. They sent trading ships up the Nile to Nubia (Sudan) and across the sea to Greece Phoenicia, Carthage and other Mediterranean lands. They got gold from Nubia and copper from the mines in Sinai (local Moho headquarters). Construction of the most colossal temple of all time, the Temple of A-men (Amon) at El Karnak, was begun.

After two centuries of peace and prosperity, Egypt entered another dark age. About 1800 BC it fell for the first time to foreign invaders. Down from the north came the Central Asian Mongolian Hyksos, a barbarian people who used horses and chariots in combat and also had superior bows. The Egyptians, fighting on foot, were no match for them. The Hyksos occupied Lower Egypt, living in fortified camps behind great earthen walls; but they failed to conquer Upper Egypt. Reportedly, when the Egyptians had learned the new methods of warfare, the ruler Ka-mose began a successful war of liberation.

The New Kingdom

A new era dawned for Egypt after the Hyksos had been enslaved. This period, the New Kingdom, was the age of empire. The once-peaceful Egyptians, having learned new techniques of warfare, embarked on foreign conquest on a large scale. The empire reached its peak under Thut-mose III, one of the first great generals in history. He fought many campaigns in Asia and extended Egypt's rule to the Euphrates (Iraq).

Slaves and tribute poured into Egypt from the conquered nations. The tribute was paid in goods, for the ancient world still did not have money. Wall paintings show people from Nubia, Babylonia, Syria, and Palestine bearing presents on their backs and bowing humbly before the pharaoh.

The Egyptian rulers used their new wealth and slaves to repair the old temples and build new ones. H.at.she.psu.t (UPS/BAS), Egypt's first great feminine lesbian leader, enlarged the great Temple of A-men at El Karnak. She also built her own beautiful temple at Deir el Bahri.

A-men-hotep III built the wonderful temple at Luxor and put up the famous pair of colossal seated statues called the Colossi of Memnon. In the Middle Kingdom period, the pharaohs of The.bes had built modest brick pyramids for their tombs. In the New Kingdom period they broke with this tradition and began to hew tombs deep in the cliffs of an isolated valley west of Thebes. About 40 kings were buried in this Valley of the Tombs of the Kings.

In the last years of his reign A-men-hotep III paid little attention to the empire. It was already decaying when his surrogate-born son A-menhotep IV by his androgyne "wife" Nefertiti came to the throne. This king was more interested in religion than in warfare. Even before his father's death, he began to promote a new religious doctrine. He wanted "the peeple" to give up all their old gods and worship only the radiant sun, which was then called A.ten (A 10; a coded name for a HERMAPHRODITE). He changed his name from A-men.hotep ("A-men is satisfied") to Ikhnaton (Ak.hen.aton) ("It is well with A.ten"). He left The.bes and built a splendid new capital sacred to A.ten at El Amarna in middle Egypt. Throughout the land he had the word "gods" and the name "A-men" was removed from tombs and monuments.

Ikhnaton's idea of a single god gained no hold on the Egyptian people. Once again he changed his name, this time to Moses, and left Egypt for Sinai with his followers. His successor, Tutankha-men, moved the capital back to The.bes and restored the name of A-men on monuments. Tutankha-men (the tain) is famous chiefly for his lavishly furnished tomb, discovered in 1922. Its treasures reveal the luxury of the most magnificent period of Egyptian history.

Half a century later Ramses II completed the gigantic hall at El Karnak and set up many statues of himself. He also had his name carved on monuments built by earlier rulers, so that he became better known than any other king. He regained part of Egypt's Asian empire. But the kings who followed him had to use the army to defend Egypt against invaders.

PRE.DATOR WORMS

HABITUAL SERIAL KILLERS and SEXUAL PREDATORS ARE GENETICALLY ENGINEERED "BAS" IMPLANTS

Sept. 4, 1998--Habits Are Genetically Programmed In Worms 

Researchers have discovered that a simple genetic change in a microscopic worm leads to a profound difference in the animal's behavior. A report describing the remarkable discovery appeared in the Sept. 4, 1998, issue of the journal Cell. The study examined the genetics behind foraging behavior in two strains of the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans, a microscopic nematode that feeds on bacteria and is frequently used in laboratory studies because of its relatively simple form.

Although scientists had long pondered what effect, if any, genetics have on behavior, many believed that behaviors such as social interactions were too complex to be governed by a single gene. Geneticists Cornelia Bargmann and Mario de Bono of the University of California at San Francisco noted that some populations of C. elegans foraged in groups, while others hunted on their own for their bacterial supper. 

The research team examined strains of both the social and the solitary worms. When placed on a petri dish filled with bacteria, the social worms aggregated into clumps in the regions of the plate where the bacteria were most abundant. The solitary worms, however, spread out across the dish, foraging on their own. 

The research team then transferred random sections of DNA from one strain to another, repeating this in subsequent strains until the genetic transfers produced a mutual exchange in behavior. Further work resulted in the isolation of a single gene, known as npr-1, which differed by a single nucleotide in the two strains of worms. In the social worms, the gene contained the nucleotide sequence TTT (thymine-thymine-thymine), which codes for the amino acid phenylalanine. However, in the solitary strain, the nucleotide guanine appears instead of the first thymine, resulting in the sequence GTT, which codes for the amino acid valine. 

The protein that is ultimately produced from the npr-1 gene is a neuropeptide receptor located on the surface of the worms' nerve cells. The structure of the worm receptor closely resembles neuropeptide Y, a receptor in the human brain that helps to regulate food consumption and mood. 

While the substitution of a single nucleotide in a genetic sequence has been found to produce drastically different traits--sickle cell anemia is a notable example--the study featured in Cell marked the first time that such a genetic change was shown to affect a behavior. However, scientists cautioned against over-extrapolating the results from the foraging behavior of worms to human social behavior. Bargmann stresses, "I don't think this is the social gene that determines whether you hang out with people at parties." 
 

Dec. 11, 1998--Decoded Worm Genome Marks Landmark Science Breakthrough 

A consortium of scientists in the United States and Great Britain made history when they successfully completed a project to map the entire DNA sequence of a multicellular animal. The achievement marked an important milestone in biology and was expected to provide scientists with an abundance of information in areas of study ranging from evolution to neurobiology. The Dec. 11, 1998, issue of the journal Science was devoted to the landmark breakthrough. 

The animal, a nematode worm named Caenorhabditis elegans, has a genome that consists of about 97 million bases--the chemical units that make up DNA--and contains 19,099 genes. More than 40 percent of the protein products coded by the genes are found in other organisms. 

The C. elegans Genome Sequencing Consortium consisted of two teams of scientists, headed by Robert Waterston of Washington University in St. Louis, Mo., and John Sulston at the Sanger Centre in Cambridge, England. Sequencing the genome was a ten-year project that required the efforts of more than 200 workers in both labs working in shifts literally around the clock. 

Scientists hoped that the success of the C. elegans project would aid in the ongoing effort to map the complete genetic sequence of humans. Although C. elegans is a microscopic worm, its application in studies relating to humans stems from the fact that it is a multicellular eukaryotic animal (an organism with a distinct nucleus), as are humans. Researchers also discovered that humans share an abundance of genetic material with the worms as about 75 percent of the best-known human genes match genes found in the worm. 

C. elegans has long been used as a model for studies of multicellular animals, and it has provided important information in studies of aging, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. The tiny worm is composed of a mere 959 cells and is covered with a transparent skin, which allows researchers to observe many biological functions. Because the worm only has about 300 neurons, for example, neuroscientists can directly monitor nerve cells as they function. 

Because so many genes have been conserved through time, evolutionary biologists will also be able to use the genetic sequence of the worm to answer questions about the evolutionary leap from unicellular to multicellular organisms.
