The Battle for Israel: Did Jesus Die on the Cross?

The IDF Spokesperson’s office is reporting that a delegation of some 60 IDF commanders arrived in Poland on Monday, April 16, as part of the Witnesses in Uniform program. Guided by educators from the Yad VaShem Holocaust Memorial Museum, the officers started a four day study of pre-war Poland, the Holocaust, and contemporary Jewish Polish life. “It is very, very difficult to talk about the six million Jews who were killed in the Holocaust. It’s impossible to comprehend such a number. So the way to make it as comprehensible as possible is through the personal narrative,” said Cpt. Liat Carmi, who oversees the program. This is the 169th Witnesses in Uniform group sent to Poland by the IDF, which plans to send a total of 16 groups just this year. The trip does not focus only the horrors of the Holocaust. “We are talking about a thousand years of Jewish history in Poland,” said Cpt. Carmi. The participants stayed in Warsaw and Krakow, and visited the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp and other memorial sites. At some of the sites, the soldiers held military memorial services. The participants concluded each day of the journey with a reflective discussion. Commanders explored issues such as how to incorporate the ethical lessons gleaned from the journey into their leadership as commanders, how to convey the history of the Holocaust to the soldiers under their command, and how the Holocaust influences their identities as IDF soldiers.

Rachel Hirshfeld The Hollywood screenwriter Joe Eszterhas has accused Mel Gibson of sabotaging the production of a film based on the story of the Jewish Maccabees, after Warner Bros. decided to cancel the project. Eszterhas wrote an extensive letter accusing Gibson, who was expected to direct the film, of prolonged and unabashed anti-Semitism. "I've come to the conclusion that the reason you won't make The Maccabees is the ugliest possible one. You hate Jews," he wrote. Eszterhas alleged that Gibson had told him the Holocaust was "mostly a lot of horseshit" and that his intention in making The Maccabees was "to convert the Jews to Christianity." "You said the Torah made reference to the sacrifice of Christian babies and infants,” Esterhas asserted. “When I told you that you were confusing the Torah with The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, ... you insisted 'it's in the Torah - it's in there!' (It isn't)."

Azeri Language

Foreign Policy magazine reported in an exclusive piece this week that Israel has purchased an Azeri airfield on Iran's northern border, prompting the United States to watch very closely. Journalist Mark Perry wrote the Obama administration is monitoring Israel's relations with Azerbaijan, particularly its military ties. Israel has tightened up its relations with Baku over the past several years, helping Azerbaijan modernize its military with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and becoming its second-largest customer for oil. In particular, the $1.6 billion Israeli deal to jointly manufacture 60 drones of various types with Azerbaijan infuriated Turkey, according to a retired U.S. diplomat quoted in the report. The IDF canceled a $150 million contract to develop and manufacture drones with the Turkish military after Ankara demanded an apology following the Mavi Marmara flotilla attempt to breach Israel's maritime blockade of Gaza. “The Israelis have bought an airfield,” an official told the journalist, “and the airfield is called Azerbaijan.” The Americans believe Israel may use the site as a springboard for an attack on Iran's nuclear plants, or as a landing and refueling spot following one. The site could also be used for aircraft needed for search, rescue and recovery in the wake of an attack.

Lars Vilks, Jesus-pedophile

It is Alciati’s Emblematum Liber (1531) in which the handsome youth Ganymede, who in classical mythology was carried off by Zeus in homosexual mood, has turned into a symbol of the pure soul which finds joy in God, and a later commentator even applied Christ’s command to ‘suffer little children to come to me’ to the story. Consider the case of tailor Jan Tyranowski, aged forty years at the time that Wojtyła met him in the second year of the war. A curious gloss on his bachelordom notes that he had rebuffed the overtures made by various women in his youth. There was an occasional hint of gay ostentation. A picture of him taken around the time he first met Wojtyła reveals him dressed in a white nightgown, sitting bolt-upright in bed between starched lace sheets, like the risen Christ, gazing wide-eyed into the camera.

Angel Gabriel and Virgin Mary

Augustine attacks a problem “whether angels, inusmuch as they are spirits, could have bodily intercourse with women? He reasons on on the ethereal nature of angels, and reaches the conclusion, fortified by many ancient instances, that they can and do. There are, he points out, “many proven instances, that Sylvans and Fauns, who are commonly called 'Incubus' had often made wicked assaults upon women, and satisfied their lusts upon them; and that certain devils, called Duses by the Gauls, are constantly attempting and effecting this impurity” (XV, 23). Thus the great Doctor vindicates the potentiality of the Holy Ghost, in the guise of the angel Gabriel, to maintain carnal copulation with the proliferous yet Ever Virgin .

Hegemonikon or the Ruler of von Lauchen's Heliocentrism

In a short passage in von Lauchen's Narratio (p. 465,12; 462,22,35) he refers to the sun not only as God’s steward of nature and king of all distinguished with divine Majesty, but also explains that the sun, like the heart in a body, guides the stars: like a ruler who does not need to go to various towns in order to execute his official duty, so the heart does not have to go to head, to feet, or to other part of the body in order to sustain life. This was a perennial mantra of all heliocentric astrologers throughout the ages. Aztec priests were accused by the Spaniards of performing 50,000 heart sacrifices a year to renew the vital strength of the sun believed to be the heart of the heaven. The Swastika means so many things: life force, rebirth, divine energy, the soul or spirit, "the inner fire" The Hindus have used Swastikas in the Chakras since ancient times. Buddhists are known for using the Swastika and they have called it the 'Buddha's heart'. In the New Testament the heart is called nous, a term denoting also the sun.

A Graphic Rendition of Copernicus's Book

In 1897 one of the best Polish artists and poet Stanislaw Wyspianski published in the magazine Zycie (Life) which he edited, a drawing by a Czech artist Frantisek Bilek unmasking the Renaissance, pagan religion promoted by Copernicus's Latin book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium. This drawing reminds us the most revealing fact that Copernicus used the macho-logic of pederastic male supremacy so characteristic of the church to this day, to prove his heliocentrism in terms of pagan religion: “we conceive immobility to be nobler and more divine that mutability and instability, which latter is therefore more appropriate to the earth than to the universe. I add to this that it would seem quite absurd to attribute motion to that which contains and locates, rather than to that which is contained and located – namely, the earth.” For scholastic philosophers woman was animal occasionatus...Mulieres non esse homines. Giordano Bruno stressed that “Nature's imperfect is doubtful to no man. The reason is clear; she is only a woman.” and as an old Italian saying affirms La donna e mobile est. Michelangelo's Zeus plagiarized on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel betrays the same gay misogyny, which we also find in his poem: The love of which I speak has high aspirations Woman is too different; and it all becomes The wise and manly heart to burn for her. One love pulls you heavenwards, the other earthwards; One is located in the soul, the other in the senses, And draws its bow towards things which are low and vile.

Aisha Qaddafi seeks asylum in Israel

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/151197#.Tvy9QnoVi-U Report: Qaddafi's Daughter Seeking Asylum in Israel The daughter of former Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi, Aisha, is seeking political asylum in Israel, a report says. Elad Benari The daughter of former Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi, Aisha, is seeking political asylum in Israel, according to a report on the Intelligence Online website. The report, which was quoted by Yeshiva World News on Wednesday, said that Aisha Qaddafi has hired the services of Nick Kaufman, a former prosecutor assigned to the Jerusalem District Prosecutor’s Office to advance her cause. This past August, when Libyan rebels took over the Qaddafi family compound in the capital Tripoli, Aisha fled Libya together with her mother and a number of brothers. They found refuge in Algeria, where Aisha has since given birth to a son. Last month, she called on Libyans to topple the new government and urged them not to forget her father. According to the report, she now fears that local government officials will eventually give into demands from the new Libyan regime and she will face extradition. Friends of Aisha in Europe, according to the report, said she believes the only country where she will feel safe is Israel, and she is advancing efforts towards obtaining political asylum with the realization that her chances of receiving asylum are not particularly good.

The Committee of 300 or British CHEKA

This committee of 300 is modeled after the British East India Company's Council of 300, founded by the British aristocracy in 1727. Most of its immense wealth arose out of the opium trade with China. This group is responsible for the phony drug wars here in the U.S. These phony drug wars were to get us to give away our constitutional rights. Asset forfeiture is a prime example, where huge assets can be seized without trail and no proof of guilt needed. (See the video The Truth About the Fraud and Bank of America foreclosure) Also the Committee of 300 long ago decreed that there shall be a smaller-much smaller-and better world, that is, their idea of what constitutes a better world. The myriads of useless eaters consuming scarce natural resources were to be culled. Industrial progress supports population growth. Therefore the command to multiply and subdue the earth found in Genesis had to be subverted. This called for an attack upon Christianity; the slow but sure disintegration of industrial nation states; the destruction of hundreds of millions of people, referred to by the Committee of 300 as "surplus population, " and the removal of any leader who dared to stand in the way of the Committee's global planning to reach the foregoing objectives. Not that the U.S. government didn't know, but as it was part of the conspiracy, it helped to keep the lid on information rather than let the truth be known. Queen, Elizabeth II, is the head of the Committee of 300. The Committee of 300 looks to social convulsions on a global scale, followed by depressions, as a softening-up technique for bigger things to come, as its principal method of creating masses of people all over the world who will become its "welfare" recipients of the future. The committee appears to base much of its important decisions affecting mankind on the philosophy of Polish aristocrat, Felix Dzerzinski, who regarded mankind as being slightly above the level of cattle. As a close friend of British intelligence agent Sydney Reilly (Reilly was actually Dzerzinski's controller during the Bolshevik Revolution's formative years), he often confided in Reilly during his drinking bouts. Dzerzinski was, of course, the beast who ran the Red Terror apparatus. He once told Reilly, while the two were on a drinking binge, that "Man is of no importance. Look at what happens when you starve him. He begins to eat his dead companions to stay alive. Man is only interested in his own survival. That is all that counts. All the Spinoza stuff is a lot of rubbish." (Dr. John Coleman)

Karl Marx monument viewed from back looks like a phallus

Aldous Huxley called Darwin's bloody-fanged bulldog in his book Ends and Means, 1946, p. 70 explains enthusiastic reception of evolutionism as follows: “I had motives for not wanting the world to have meaning...The liberation we desired was.;..from a certain system of morality. We objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom.” Maurice Samuel suggested that Jew-hatred sublimates the yearning of Christians for the freedoms of the pagan world. They resent Christian morality as the straight jacket that inhibits the release of their pagan instincts that emerge occasionally in their consciousness. Scientist Zaborovsky wrote in one of his works devoted to baboons: “Baboons stand out among other apes for their sexual lustfulness. The phallus of a male baboon is almost always erected, like the phalluses of the martyrs enjoying their 72 virgins.If a male boon is locked alone in a cage, he will die from his unsatisfied desire to copulate; The smell of a female can drive a male baboon to insanity.” A baboon with an erected penis was a divinity in ancient Egypt.” The god Min depicted with an erect phallus was his human counterpart.

UNSC rejects Palestine's bid for membership

The UN Security Council Committee for Admission of New Members was unable to endorse Palestine's bid to join the ranks of this international organization. The draft report circulated at the UN headquarters in New York said that the votes of the committee's 15 Member States were divided. On October 31, Palestine was granted full UNESCO membership. During the vote, it received the support of 107 countries, including Russia. Voting "against" were 14 states, in particular, the U.S. and Israel. (Reuters)

Qaddafi's Corpse

After his death, the corpse of the former tormenter was put on display in Misrata. People posed for pictures with Gadhafi's dead body. Stripped down to the waste, it was passed from house to house like a trophy until it finally arrived in the front room of a private residence in the so-called African Market on Friday An air-conditioning unit hangs on the wall. The body lies on a thin mattress on the floor. The head is tilted a bit to the left, and the arms lie close to the body, which is only covered by a pair of brown pants. At the entrance, people are fighting to get in. In a mix of voyeurism and the need for certainty, everybody wants to get one last look of the body and take a picture of it. http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,793612,00.html

Death to Assad

http://de.rian.ru/opinion/20111021/261075526.html 17:51 21/10/2011 Inspired by Gaddafi’s death, Syrian oppositionists set mass riots in many places all over the country on Friday, shouting out: “Gaddafi is dead, now it’s Bashar al-Assad’s turn!” (Bashar al-Assad is Syria’s current president.) Syrian human rights defenders say that on Friday, 16 demonstrators were shot by the police, and, in total, over 3,000 civilians were killed in Syria since riots began in March. The government, in its turn, calls the oppositionists “bandit groups” and claim that these “bandits” are killing Syrian servicemen. (IF)

Farrakhan with Rev. Pfleger

When Farrakhan was asked at a press conference whether he truly thought Hitler was “great” he responded, “I don’t think you would be talking about A. Hitler forty years after the fact if he was some minuscule crackpot that jumped up on the European continent. He was…a great man, but also wicked…wickedly great.” Referring to Hitler’s as “great” twice in the space of a few weeks sealed Farrakhan’s fate as the New Demon, the Great Hater, the Next Fuehrer. Further condemning him was a June 1984 statement that Israel will “never have…peace, because there can be no peace structured on injustice, lying, and deceit and using the name of God to shield your dirty religion under his holy and righteous name.” Using boilerplate anti-Jewish imagery – “bloodsuckers,” “Jews control the media,” Israel is “an outlaw” nation, a people “cloaking themselves in the robes of god, but who are in fact members of the synagogue of Satan” – all of which Farrakhan presented as irrefutable “truths,” the NOI leader demonized an entire people, while simultaneously denying he was anti-Semitic. As a child, he received training as a violinist. At the age of six, he was given his first violin and by the age of 13, he had played with the Jesuit Boston College Orchestra and the Boston Civic Symphony. A year later, Walcott went on to win national competitions, as well as the Ted Mack Original Amateur Hour. He was one of the first blacks to appear on the popular show. In Boston, Farrakhan attended the prestigious Boston Latin School. The school symbol is Romulus, the mythical founder of Rome! and English High School, graduating from the latter1. He attended college for two years at Winston-Salem State University teachers college, but left to continue a career as an entertainer. In the 1950s, Farrakhan became an up-and-coming calypso singer. He recorded several calypso albums under the name "The Charmer." [1] In 1955, while headlining a show in Chicago entitled "Calypso Follies," he first came in contact with the teachings of the Nation of Islam. Check out this ARTICLE Called: “Louis Farrakhan claims he is both a Muslim and a Christian (Catholic)” Quote from article, “A packed house welcomed Minister Louis Farrakhan to St. Sabina Catholic Church on Friday night with a standing ovation and cheers for his health.

Gilad at last home

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/148884#.Tp27V3JiK-U President Shimon Peres met German mediator Gerhard Conrad Tuesday and thanked him for his role in enabling the Shalit deal. Conrad was accompanied by senior members of German intelligence and representatives of the German government. "The entire nation of Israel is holding its breath in excitement because Gilad Shalit is the son of all of us. I wish to thank you as the president of the state of Israel in the name of the nation in Israel, for your personal contribution to the long and protracted negotiations that ended with the release of Gilad Shalit. "You carried out the negotiations in circumstances that were not simple and in a complex reality with professional, smart and devoted work. We all know the depth of your commitment to the release of Shalit."' Peres also thanked German Chancellor Angela Merkel for supporting the negotiations and said that she "proves through her actions the depth of the friendship and strategic relations between the two countries." Conrad said the compliments "embarrassed" him. "Both sides had to make decisions that were not simple and I am glad both sides made decisions. After all it was a very difficult challenge, sometimes demanding and frustrating, but I am filled with excitement and satisfaction when I see Gilad Shalit returning home, together with you."

Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon to me wishing me a happy New Year

Yes, I agree with FM of Israel that it Was Almighty God who gave the Prmised Land to his People and that the ultimate decisions always belong to Him and not to the Quartet or Quintet, or the UN no matter how powerful these entities might be. http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/china/2011-10/17/c_131196403.htm BEIJING, Oct. 17 (Xinhua) -- China on Monday called for other countries to respect its agreement with Vietnam on maritime issues. "The fact that China and Vietnam have agreed to settle maritime disputes through negotiations has nothing to do with a third party. We expect the third party to respect the efforts by the countries concerned to resolve the disputes through negotiations," Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin said at a daily press briefing. Liu's comments came after it was reported that the Philippines opposed the latest China-Vietnam joint statement and called for a multilateral approach, rather than a bilateral agreement, to resolve disputes concerning the South China Sea. "China-Philippines maritime disputes can only be resolved through direct negotiations between China and the Philippines, a stance the Philippines is quite clear about," Liu said.

Jesus with the Pagan Symbol of Trinity

We believe in one God father Almighty maker of all things, seen and unseen: And in one Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God, begotten as only-begotten of the Father, that is of the substance (ousia) of the father, God from god, Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten not made, consubstantial (homoousios0 with the Father, through whom all things came into existence, both things in heaven and things on earth: who for us men and for our salvation came down and was incarnate and became man, suffered and rose again on the third day, ascended into heavens, is coming to judge the living and the dead: And in the Holy Spirit. But those who say 'there was time when he did not exist' (Arius and his followers), and 'Before being begotetn he did not exist' , and that he came into being from non-existence, or who allege that the Son of god is of another hypostasis or ousia, or is alterable or changeable, these the Catholic and Apostolic Church condemn.

The Kurds in Syria demand an independen state of their own

Who will solve this Problem? There are also milions of Kurds in Iraq, Iran. And yet the powers disregard their "human rights" Im sure, that God won't forget them. http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/world/2011-10/19/c_131200697.htm ANKARA, Oct. 19 (Xinhua) -- Twenty-four members of the Turkish security forces were killed and 18 others injured in Turkey's southeastern province of Hakkari early on Wednesday in simultaneous attacks carried out by the outlawed Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK), the private Dogan news agency reported. PKK rebels attacked several military and police buildings and killed 24 soldiers and police officers in several locations in the predominately Kurdish province near the Iraqi border, a day after they killed five police officers and three civilians in Bitlis province in southeastern Turkey, the report said. A Kurdish news agency said the Turkish forces has crossed into Iraq in pursuit of the PKK members, who has recently intensified attacks on Turkish troops, police and civilians. Turkish officials vowed to reciprocate with absolute determination. Listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States and the European Union, the PKK took up arms in 1984 to create an ethnic homeland in southeastern Turkey. More than 40,000 people have been killed in conflicts involving the PKK during the past over two decades.

The Aryan, heliocentric Ruler of Canaan

The cross and the fire, the latter, the emblem of the sun were both symbols of the Hindu god of fire Agni. The Hindu term jamad agni denotes a sage who knows the identity of god and fire, like the authors of the new Roman Cathechism. Fire is heat – the central point, the perpendicular ray represents the male element or spirit, and the horizontal one the female element – or matter. Spirit (also called logos spermatikos) vivifies and fructifies the matter, and everything proceeds from the central point, the focus of Life, and Light, and Heat, represented by the terrestrial fire. Interestingly, Taunay’s Sermon of Saint John the Baptist, (s.d. 1818 Nice, Préfecture, No. 175) shows John the Baptist holding a cross in his right hand. Jesus in his baptism is hailed from Heaven as the beloved son and the only begotten of the Father, God; the Holy Spirit is represented by a dove. This dove, in later development, became the third member of the Holy Trinity i.e. third person one with the Father. Jesus in his baptism became what Cardinal K. Wojtyla called in his Lent Sermons for Pope Paul VI Sign of Contradiction according to Lk 2:34 “Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising against many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against.” Because this dove is derived from the myth of the sun god Apollo (see attached picture). Similarly, Horus in his baptism made his transformation into the beloved son and only begotten of the father; the Holy Spirit, represented by a bird. During nightly meeting with Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews Jesus lectures on how a “man can be born again” in order that he could “see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3). According to v. 5 this rebirth (see below) comes from “water and spirit” symbolized by two bars of the cross as described above. Accordingly, in another Sign of Contradiction Jesus taught: “If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. I will let everyone who wins the victory eat from the life giving tree which is in the midst of the paradise of God”(Rev. 2:7), which nixed the warning of the God of the Hebrew Bible: “…but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God said: Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest you die’ (Gen. 3:3). God who inspired the Hebrew Bible knew that many minds, hungering after proofs of immortality, are fast falling into fanaticism and fanatics are governed rather by imagination than judgment. Contemporary Israelis blown apart in buses by a Palestinian suicide/homicide bombers are victims of this insane imagination.

Madison Grant's Nordic Theory

Grant is most famously the author of the popular book The Passing of the Great Race in 1916, an elaborate work of racial hygiene detailing the "racial history" of Europe. Coming out of Grant's concerns with the changing "stock" of American immigration of the early 20th century (characterized by increased numbers of immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe, as opposed to Western and Northern Europe), Passing of the Great Race was a "racial" interpretation of contemporary anthropology and history, stating race as the basic motor of civilization. Similar ideas were proposed by Gustav Kossinna in Germany. Grant promoted the idea of the "Nordic race"—a loosely defined biological-cultural grouping rooted in Scandinavia—as the key social group responsible for human development; thus the subtitle of the book was The racial basis of European history. As an avid eugenicist, Grant further advocated the separation, quarantine, and eventual collapse of "undesirable" traits and "worthless race types" from the human gene pool and the promotion, spread, and eventual restoration of desirable traits and "worthwhile race types" conducive to Nordic society: A rigid system of selection through the elimination of those who are weak or unfit—in other words social failures—would solve the whole question in one hundred years, as well as enable us to get rid of the undesirables who crowd our jails, hospitals, and insane asylums. The individual himself can be nourished, educated and protected by the community during his lifetime, but the state through sterilization must see to it that his line stops with him, or else future generations will be cursed with an ever increasing load of misguided sentimentalism. This is a practical, merciful, and inevitable solution of the whole problem, and can be applied to an ever widening circle of social discards, beginning always with the criminal, the diseased, and the insane, and extending gradually to types which may be called weaklings rather than defectives, and perhaps ultimately to worthless race types. ” In the book, Grant recommends segregating "unfavorable" races in ghettos by installing civil organizations through the public health system to establish quasi-dictatorships in their particular fields. He states the expansion of non-Nordic race types in the Nordic system of freedom would actually mean a slavery to desires, passions, and base behaviors.

Moscow - Beijing Express

URUMQI, Sept. 3 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Vice Minister of Commerce Zhong Shan said member states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) should consider setting up a free trade agreement (FTA) which, once in place, would cover about three fifths of the Eurasia's landmass. Zhong told a forum at the on-going China-Eurasia Expo in the northwestern city of Urumqi that such a FTA will further facilitate trade and create a sound environment for pragmatic regional economic cooperation. "Eying the trend of economic globalization, Beijing considers that SCO members should discuss the possibility of setting up a FTA within the organization at a proper time," the vice minister said. The SCO, founded in Shanghai in June 2001, groups China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The six member states cover an area of over 30 million square kilometers, or about three fifths of Eurasia, with a population of 1.455 billion, about a quarter of the world's total. Trade among SCO members grew seven times over the past decade to reach 8.4 billion U.S. dollars in 2010, Zhong said, adding that significant progress had also made in the cooperation on energy, transportation, and telecommunications. In November 2009, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev presented a draft proposal on a new European security agreement as an alternative to NATO. The document called the United States, the European Union and Russia the "three branches of European civilization," and assigned priority to the UN's role in international affairs.

A New Huge Free Trade Zone in the Making

14:35 03/09/2011 Leaders of a post-Soviet alliance called on Saturday for signing a delayed free trade agreement and peacefully resolving conflicts in their final statement rounding up the summit. Leaders of the CIS alliance, which includes Armenia, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Russia, Moldova, and Uzbekistan, gathered in Dushanbe, the Tajik capital. Ukraine was also represented at the event though officially it is not a member. "Considering the sustainable growth in foreign trade, CIS member states are seeking to develop economic cooperation based on the CIS economic development strategy until 2020," the statement said. The key goal at the moment is to form a free trade zone, the document said. In May, the CIS Economic Council decided to work further on the draft agreement on free trade in the CIS. It was later discussed by the CIS premiers who failed to reach an agreement. The next meeting of CIS premiers will be held in October.

The Aryan Christ of the Jesuits

In January 1933, the Belgian mathematician and Catholic priest Georges Lemaitre traveled with Albert Einstein to California for a series of seminars. After the Belgian detailed his Big Bang theory, Einstein stood up applauded, and said, This is the most beautiful and satisfactory explanation of creation to which I have ever listened. Lemaitres theory, the idea that there was a burst of fireworks which marked the beginning of time and space on a day without yesterday, was a radical departure from prevailing scientific understandings, though it has since come to be the most probable explanation for the origin of the universe. (In other words, a Jesuit was behind the embarrassing doctrine of the "Big Bang" theory. -TR )

The Cosmic dance of Big Bang

"I learned much from the Order of the Jesuits", said Hitler... "Until now, there has never been anything more grandiose, on the earth, than the hierarchical organization of the Catholic Church. I transferred much of this organization into my own party... I am going to let you in on a secret... I am founding an Order... In my "Burgs" of the Order, we will raise up a youth which will make the world tremble... Hitler then stopped, saying that he couldn't say any more.." Hermann Rauschning, former national-socialist chief of the government of Dantzig: "Hitler m'a dit", (Ed. Co-operation, Paris 1939, pp.266, 267, 273 ss).

the Marriage of Philology and Mercury

This single encyclopedic work, De nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii ("On the Marriage of Philology and Mercury"), sometimes called De septem disciplinis ("On the seven disciplines") or the Satyricon,[2] is an elaborate didactic allegory written in a mixture of prose and elaborately allusive verse, a prosimetrum in the manner of the Menippean satires of Varro. The style is wordy and involved, loaded with metaphor and bizarre expressions. The book was of great importance in defining the standard formula of academic learning from the Christianized Roman Empire of the fifth century until the Renaissance of the 12th century. The eighth book of M. Capella's De Nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii describes a modified geocentric astronomical model, in which the Earth is at rest in the center of the universe and circled by the moon, the sun, three planets and the stars, while Mercury and Venus circle the Sun.[4] This view was singled out for praise by Copernicus in Book I of his De revolutionibus orbium coelestium. Dedicating the work to a powerful patron was also usual practice and Paul III, the pope to whom De revolutionibus was addressed, had previously been the recipient of the dedication in another astronomical work. In 1538, Girolamo Fracastoro had produced his own, rather less radical, reform of Ptolemy and seen fit to offer it to the same Pope The celestial marriage described by M. Capella inspired two best-known scientists of the Renaissance era: Girolamo Fracastoro (1478-1553) physician and poet, and N. Copernicus (1473-1543) also physician, poet and astrologer. In his long poem, Fracastoro argues that the infecting semina of syphilis may arise from poisonous emanations sparked by planetary conjunctions. He even invokes a linguistic parallel between transmission of syphilis by sexual contact (coitus) and the production of bad seeds by planetary overlap in the sky, for he describes the astronomical phenomenon with the same word, as “coitum et conventum syderum” (the coitus and conjunction of stars), particularly “nostra trium superiorum, Saturni, Iovis et Martis” (our three most distant bodies: Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars). In other words, Fracastoro was led in his speculations by the perennial astrological principle: “As Above, so Below”. And so was Copernicus. The expression “family of stars” suggests what Fracastoro described as “coitum et conventum syderum” and what follows logically polytheism! In one of the Thanksgiving Psalms from Qumran caves, God is addressed as “the Prince of the gods and the King of the venerable ones, and the Lord of every spirit, and the Master of every work.” This god whose rays the Essenes avoided to offend while defecating is the same sun god whom Copernicus describes as “sitting on the royal throne and reigning the surrounding family of stars.” E. Halley found the same astrological belief in Newton’s work. In his preface to the first edition of “Principia” he wrote some complimentary verses in Latin, ending in the line, “Nec fas est proprius mortali attingere divos” (t is not allowed to any mortal to come closer to the gods).

St. Paul's Golden "Calf"

These Aryan people worshipped nature; the sun, moon, sky, and earth as a comparison of ancient religions and mythology in the land peopled by Aryans, demonstrates. Their chief object of adoration was the Sun. To this race, in the infancy of its civilization, the Sun was not a mere luminary, but a Creator, Ruler, Preserves, and Savior of their world as they knew it. Around the Sun these people would develop a religious doctrine which finds its origin in the Sun and its influence upon mankind. Such is called "Astro-Theology". Their reasoning led them to believe that the Sun was the product of the Sky god; the Heavenly Father. This "offspring of the Sky-god" was none other than "the Son of the Sky", or that the Sun was the "Son of the Heavenly Father", and that the immaculate virgin, the Earth (sometimes it was the dawn or the night), was the Mother of the Sun. Hence we have the Virgin, or Virgo, as one of the signs of the Zodiac. The zodiacal sign of Aires was anciently known as the Lamb; consequently, when the Sun made the transit of the equinox under this sign, the Sun was called the "Lamb of God." Later when the Sun was personified as "the Son" then the "Son was the Lamb of God."

From Emperor Hadrian to Pope Pius XII

Hadrian attempted to root out Judaism, which he saw as the cause of continuous rebellions, prohibited the Torah law, the Hebrew Calendar and executed Judaic scholars (Ten Martyrs). The sacred scroll was ceremonially burned on the Temple Mount. In an attempt to erase the memory of Judaea, he renamed the province Syria Palestina (after the Philistines), and Jews were forbidden from entering its rededicated capital. When Jewish sources mention Hadrian it is always with the epitaph "may his bones be crushed" (שחיק עצמות or שחיק טמיא,Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took iot out of the way, nailing it t his cross. There is an ominous historical parallel; the Vatican was the first state to extend recognition to the neo-pagan Bolshevik regime (1922). Soon thereafter Pope Pius XI disbanded Partito Popolare, forerunner of the present Democrazia Cristiana (Pius XII nailed the Bible to the Cross) and forced its leader to exile. Similarly, and for the same reason the present Democrazia Cristiana disappeared from the political scene of Italy during the pontificate of John Paul II. Why? Because Christian teaching stays in the way of a new Palestinian State.29. And first of all, by the death of our Redeemer, the New Testament took the place of the Old Law which had been abolished; then the Law of Christ together with its mysteries, enactments, institutions, and sacred rites was ratified for the whole world in the blood of Jesus Christ. For, while our Divine Savior was preaching in a restricted area - He was not sent but to the sheep that were lost of the House of Israel [30] - the Law and the Gospel were together in force; [31] but on the gibbet of His death Jesus made void the Law with its decrees [32] fastened the handwriting of the Old Testament to the Cross, [33] establishing the New Testament in His blood shed for the whole human race.[34] (MYSTICI CORPORIS CHRISTI , ENCYCLICAL OF POPE PIUS XII . 1943) ”L’Osservatore Romano” proclaimed: “True anti-Semitism is and can be in substance nothing other than Christianity, completed and perfected in Catholicism.” J. Streicher, the publisher of anti-Semitic and pornographic Der Stürmer considered the Bible pornographic literature and had no use even for Christ because he was a Jew. An article published in Der Stürmer on March 19, 1942 complained that Christian teaching had stood in the way of a “racial solution of the Jewish question in Europe” and quoted as a rallying call the Führer proclamation: “the Jew will be exterminated.” To kill the “Christian teaching that had stood in the way of extermination of the Jews” the Nazis commemorated the four hundredth anniversary of publication of Copernicus’s The Revolution in 1943 by issuing a post stamp in the occupied part of Poland called Generalgouvernement bearing Copernicus’s likeness (the young seminarian K. Wojtyla used to put this stamp on his letters). At the same time book entitled Kopernikus Forschungen was published in which an author argued that Copernicus once and for all removed from human hearts belief in the Bible. Let me remind here that already in 1945, so to say on the heels of the retreating Nazis, a University named in honor of Copernicus was organized in Torun. I still remember from my grammar school “scientific” propaganda matching that being proclaimed in the Palestinian schools. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/146933#.Tk6mfF1iLmV PA Vows to Erase 'Filth,' Build Arab Homes at Western Wall

Why did he fail to marry?

At the time the position of the Pharisees was that “it was a man's unconditional duty to marry.” The contemporary Rabbi Eliezer is credited with stating: “Whoever does not engage in procreation is like someone who spills the blood.” So if Jesus was unmarried, as the Church would have us believe, why didn't his Pharisees opponents – of which there were many noted in the New Testament – use his unmarried state as a further criticism of him and his teachings?> Why didn't the disciples who were married ask Jesus to explain his failure to marry?

Bonaparte's proclamation to the Jews of Africa and Asia During the siege of Acre in 1799, the main French newspaper during the French Revolution, Le Moniteur Universel, published on 3 Prairial, Year VII (French Republican Calendar, equivalent to 22 May 1799) a short statement that: "Buonaparte a fait publier une proclamation, dans laquelle il invite les juifs de l'Asie et de l'Afrique à venir se ranger sous ses drapeaux, pour rétablir l'ancienne Jérusalem; il en a déjà armé un grand nombre, et leurs bataillons menacent Alep."[1] This has been translated in English as: "Bonaparte has published a proclamation in which he invites all the Jews of Asia and Africa to gather under his flag in order to re-establish the ancient Jerusalem. He has already given arms to a great number, and their battalions threaten Aleppo."

The Warsaw Ghetto Children

the Pope did not beg God to show Mercy. No American Charity organization ever sent millions or billions of dollars to IRC, to help those starving children etd.. Nobody dared to ask for a homeland for the Jews. Not even profesional neighbors' lovers... Jesus Christ sat on his Father's right hand and refused to talk to his deputy in the Vatican... One Million Jewish children died in Auschwitz and the powerful B52 bombers did not drop one bomb to prevent more Jewish children to be sent to the ovens. That's the world we are living in. The smell of Arab oil suffocated every humananitarian venture.

Obama Scraps the Global War on Terror

The Obama administration has ordered an end to use of the phrase "Global War on Terror," a label adopted by the Bush administration shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday. In a memo sent this week from the Defense Department's office of security to Pentagon staffers, members were told, "this administration prefers to avoid using the term 'Long War' or 'Global War on Terror' [GWOT.] Please use 'Overseas Contingency Operation.'" http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/03/25/obama-scraps-global-war-terror-overseas-contingency-operation/

H. Clinton has a Crush on Al Jazeerah

Hillary Clinton is so over American news outlets. Speaking to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Thursday, the Secretary of State spoke the virtues of Arab news service Al Jazeera. "You've got a global — a set of global networks — that Al Jazeera has been the leader in, that are literally changing people's minds and attitudes ... Viewership of Al Jazeera is going up in the United States because it's real news." And she's totally breaking up with Stateside media outlets. "You may not agree with it, but you feel like you're getting real news around the clock instead of a million commercials and, you know, arguments between talking heads, and the kind of stuff that we do on our news," Clinton said. "Which, you know, is not particularly informative to us, let alone foreigners." Ooh, burn! http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2011/03/hillary_clinton_has_a_crush_on.html

Perfect Together

Amin Al-Husseini becomes prominent member of Muslim Brotherhood. He sees the Wahhabi concept of Islamic Jihad as a key tool to rally pan-Islamic support to further his agenda of Pan-Islamic take-over. The Muslim Brotherhood now under Husseini’s influence, becomes the main vector of hatred against the West and the Jews: the Arab World, which includes Palestine, must be free of any non-Islamic faith. Therefore, Jews and Christians have no claim to any part of the Middle East or of the Arab World. Amin Al-Husseini is one of the primary founders and the inspiration of Arab League. Goal is to reinforce Wahhabi vision of Pan-Islamic unity. Founding countries are: Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Yemen. After World War II, Amin Al-Husseini was visited multiple times in Beirut by Hitler’s Swiss banker, Francois Genoud. Genoud finances the ODESSA network. He sponsors Arab Nationalism with Nazi money. In Cairo and Tangiers, Genoud sets up import-export company called Arabo-Afrika, which is a cover to disseminate anti-Jewish and anti-Israeli propaganda.Genoud sets up Swiss bank accounts for North African liberation armies of Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria. In partnership with Syria, he sets up Arab Commercial Bank in Geneva. In 1962, he becomes Director of Arab People’s Bank in Algeria. Husseini, still in Germany, is appointed to President in Absentia of Fourth Higher Committee of Arab League. http://www.fireandreamitchell.com/2011/02/16/peanut-head-jimmy-carter-claims-the-muslim-brotherhood-is-nothing-to-be-afraid-of/ Muslim Brotherhood unites with Hitler’s Third Reich 1933-2002 http://www.tellthechildrenthetruth.com/mbhood_en.html#part2

The Quartet's Dream

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/144942 Senators Challenge Obama on Foreign Policy on Israel Sivan 13, 5771, 15 June 11 03:13, by Elad Benari (Israelnationalnews.com) Several U.S. senators have decided to challenge President Barack Obama’s policy towards Israel by introducing a resolution that opposes any Israeli withdrawal to the indefensible 1949 armistice lines. The resolution was introduced last Thursday by Republican Senator Orrin Hatch from Utah and independent Senator Joe Lieberman from Connecticut. “It is contrary to United States policy and our national security to have the borders of Israel return to the armistice lines that existed on June 4, 1967,” the resolution states. It calls Israel “a liberal democratic ally of the United States” and notes that it has been “repeatedly attacked by authoritarian regimes and terrorist organizations that denied its right to exist.” It then acknowledges that the United States Government “remains steadfastly committed to the security of Israel, especially its ability to maintain secure, recognized, and defensible borders; Whereas the United States Government is resolutely bound to its policy of preserving and strengthening the capability of Israel to deter enemies and defend itself against any threat.”

Cartoon from Gaza

NEW YORK – Passengers on a US-flagged boat, The Audacity of Hope, spoke at a press conference Monday to discuss their plans and reasons for joining the “International Freedom Flotilla II – Stay Human,” a flotilla intended to break the Israeli naval blockade of Gaza. It is estimated that people from more than 20 countries will participate in the eight to ten boat flotilla, which will sail the last week of June, in part from Greece. One quarter of the participants on the US boat, which will have 36 passengers, are American Jews. REPORT: Israel readies for Gaza flotilla despite IHH withdrawal Despite IHH pullout, Israel on high alert for flotilla According to a letter the Audacity of Hope group sent to US President Barack Obama, in addition to 36 passengers, 4 crew members, and 10 members of the press, the US-flagged boat “will carry thousands of letters of support and friendship from people throughout the US to the women, children and men of Gaza. There will be no weapons of any sort on board." "We will carry no goods of any kind for delivery in Gaza," the group's letter read. "Our mission is from American civil society to the civil society of Gaza. We do not serve the agenda of any political leadership, government or group. We are engaged solely in non-violent action in support of the Palestinian people and their human rights.”

Zuckerberg's Intifada

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/06/21/us-palestinians-israel-apple-idUSTRE75K5NH20110621 Israel asks Apple to remove intifada phone app 2:32pm EDT JERUSALEM (Reuters) - An Israeli minister has asked Apple Inc to remove an Arabic-language application from its iTunes store that calls for a Palestinian uprising. In a letter to Apple CEO Steve Jobs, Public Diplomacy Minister Yuli-Yoel Edelstein said the application "ThirdIntifada" -- a reference to a future Palestinian uprising -- passed on information about protests, some violent, planned against Israel. "I am convinced that you are aware of this type of application's ability to unite many toward an objective that could be disastrous," Edelstein wrote in the letter seen by Reuters. The application offers users a stream of news stories and editorials in Arabic, announces upcoming protests, and includes links to nationalistic Palestinian videos and songs. Edelstein said the developers of the application had opened a similar page on Facebook three months ago that called for an uprising against Israel through the use of lethal force. Edelstein said he complained to the social network which removed the page. Israel has faced two large protests in recent months that turned deadly when Palestinians in Syria and Lebanon, spurred on by calls over the internet, tried to breach its borders. Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon said the creation of the Apple application and the Facebook page marked a new pattern in attempts to provoke violent attacks against the state. "Companies like this that have a global reach also have a responsibility, and they are aware of this responsibility, and I am sure that Apple will act in the same way (as Facebook)," Ayalon told Israel's Army Radio.

Israel's enemies have been so successful at spreading their lies that fewer people all the time recognize the truth. Many college campuses are hotbeds of anti-Israel agitation. Young people are being taught that Israel is waging a genocidal campaign against Palestinians. President Obama has made it clear that his heart is with the Arab world, not with Israel. More liberal "intellectuals" than ever believe that Israel's very existence is illegitimate, and that it is a "fascist state" designing a "new Holocaust" for the Palestinians. American Jews, long caught between their leftism and their loyalty to Israel, are increasingly moving over to the dark side, helped along by organizations like the George Soros-funded J Street that pretend to be pro-Israel while pushing policies that would destroy Israel in short order. It gets worse: "Anti-Israel" has come be a code word for anti-Jew, not just in the Middle East, not just in Europe, but in the United States of America.

The United States in Burka

An extremist Muslim cleric is planning a March rally at the White House in hopes of sparking a revolution that would turn the United States into an Islamic state. According to the Daily Mail newspaper, Anjem Choudary told a reporter that "The event is a rally, a call for the Sharia, a call for the Muslims to rise up and establish the Islamic state in America." Sharia is Islamic law, and Choudary says he expects the March 3 rally to draw thousands of supporters. The event will be sponsored by the New York-based extremist group Islamic Thinkers. Choudary is a British cleric who said insisted that one day "the flag of Islam will fly over the White House" and that Americans "are the biggest criminals in the world today."

In a speech yesterday in Dearborn, Michigan, the former White House correspondent not only defended the earlier anti-Jewish remarks that led to her sudden resignation, but went on to claim that she was made to pay a price for her remarks because of the power of the Jewish lobby in the United States. Helen Thomas has nothing to say about the 1 million plus Mizrahi*/Sephardic Jews who were from Arab lands until they were shoved out. No, she hasn’t anything to say about these Jews, she buys into the myth that all Israelis are European Ashkenazi Jews. What an anti-Semite, and to think that turd was/is given front row seats to all the WH press conferences.

Gorbachev: Victory in Afghanistan is impossible

Former Soviet Union President Mikhail Gorbachev has said that NATO troops will never achieve victory in Afghanistan. The republic should be assisted in overcoming the aftermath of military operations, Gorbachev told Moscow-based BBC correspondent Steve Rosenberg. He also praised U.S. President Barack Obama for his decision to start withdrawing troops next year, adding that before the Soviet Union withdrew from Afghanistan, an agreement had been reached with Iran, India, Pakistan and the U.S., providing for Afghanistan’s becoming a neutral, democratic country

Give them an ultimatum Sept.16,2010

Syria has demanded that Israel agree in principle to relinquish the Golan before talks begin, a demand that Israel has rejected. Israeli leaders say Syria must ends its ties with Iran and with PA-based terrorist groups such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad. And the PA demands that Israel agree in principle to relinquish Judea and Samaria before talks begin. So what to talk about? Well, they want the whole Israel between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. And that's their idea of the “peace”

Goal of Science – Nobel Laureate in Physics, Steven Weinberg, stated: “Nothing has been more important in the history of science than the work of Darwin and Wallace”. He pointed out that “not only the planets but even life could be understood in this naturalistic way.” He added: “I personally feel that the teaching of modern science is corrosive of religious belief, and I'm all for that! One of the things that in fact has driven me in my life, is the feeling that this is one of the great social functions of science – to free people from superstition”. … “The Ten Commandments portray a deity who is self-centered, selfish, jealous, obsessed with his own importance; this is not a nice kind of person. The traditional teachings of religion are, from the point of view of the morality most people share today, pretty immoral”

Here are some further quotations from Peter Singer from his books Rethinking Life and Death and Writings on an Ethical Life.On how mothers should be permitted to kill their offspring until the age of 28 days: "My colleague Helga Kuhse and I suggest that a period of twenty-eight days after birth might be allowed before an infant is accepted as having the same right to life as others." Brahmins also treat their own children as untouchable. Brahmin mothers dont touch their own children and brahmin mothers also dont love their children. What a horrible people these brahmins are.

Burka

When have American academics and theatre people last refused to travel to, buy products from, or lecture, appear in performance in Jordan (clothing, manufactured goods), Egypt (oil, textiles, cotton), Saudi Arabia (oil), Turkey (oil, metals, textiles, manufactured goods) or Pakistan (textiles, manufactured goods)? Surely the human rights records of these countries cry out for free people of goodwill to do just that in response to the large number of honor-related crimes, including honor killings, the forced veiling of women, persecution of Christians and other infidels, the torture and imprisonment of artists and dissidents, the non-stop Islamist terrorist attacks against Muslims, and the “manufacture” and distribution of the most vicious propaganda against Israel and America.

Martyrs Brigaes in action

NEW DELHI — Kashmir erupted on Monday in the worst violence since separatist protests began sweeping through the disputed Himalayan region three months ago, with authorities partly blaming the inflamed tensions on televised reports of Koran desecration in the United States. The bloodshed, which came as Indian leaders were searching for a way out of the Kashmir crisis, left at least 14 civilians and two security officers dead and at least 60 people injured in clashes across the region, authorities said. In one town, Tangmarg, authorities said officers opened fire after protesters had set a school and other government buildings ablaze.

By December 1948, a distinguished contingent of Jewish scientists and intellectuals warned in The New York Times that those leading the effort to establish a Jewish state bear "the unmistakable stamp of a Fascist party". Albert Einstein joined concerned Jews who cautioned Americans "not to support this latest manifestation of fascism. "The undersigned therefore take this means of publicly presenting a few salient facts concerning Begin and his party, and of urging all concerned not to support this latest manifestation of fascism."

Glenn Beck Rally: America Turning Back to God "Something beyond imagination is happening," he said. "America today begins to turn back to God."The crowd — organizers had a permit for 300,000 — was a sea of people standing shoulder to shoulder across large expanses of the Mall. It was not clear how many tea party activists were in the crowd, but the sheer size of the turnout helped demonstrate the size and potential national influence of the movement. Activists distributed fliers urging voters "dump Obama." The pamphlet included a picture of the president with a Hitler-style mustache.

Palestinian attacks on Israelis in the West Bank were masterminded by aggressive extremists and are designed to disrupt the peace talks. A statement to that effect was made by the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in an interview published by the Austrian ‘Der Standard’. Ban Ki-moon urged all parties concerned to support the negotiating process and called for extending a moratorium on the building of Israeli settlements in the West Bank. The Palestinians, he said, ought to signal readiness for talks too.

Elul 23, 5770, 02 September 10 08:12, by Maayana Miskin (Israelnationalnews.com) President Shimon Peres plans to meet Thursday with Pope Benedict XVI in Italy. The two are to discuss the peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. In addition, the two will talk about captive Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, Iran's nuclear program, and ties between Israel and the Vatican. Peres met Wednesday with Gilad Shalit's parents, Noam and Aviva, in advance of his meeting with the Pope. “We must never lose hope, we must continue to fight for Gilad's return,” he said. Shalit's parents have led a campaign to bring their son home even at the expense of releasing many hundreds of convicted terrorists, including those responsible for multiple murders. Peres praised the two for their struggle, saying, “I am proud of the noble way in which you are struggling to bring back your son Gilad, and I am proud of the Israeli public for standing at your side.” Shalit's parents asked the president to use his influence to push for Gilad's release. After meeting with the Pope, Peres plans to remain in Italy over the weekend to attend an economic and diplomatic conference and to defend Israel in the media. www.IsraelNationalNews.com

He replaced his nondescript hair style and handlebar mustache with the hanging forelock and brush mustache that he copied from a painting of Wotan. The painting “The Wild Chase,” is of the genre depicting Wotan as a figure of terror in a frenzy of action. Wotan’s assistants are a pack of killer wolves. During WWII, Hitler called one of his command posts the Wolf’s Lair, another the Wolf’s Gorge, and still another the Werewolf. He called young members of the Hitler Youth “wolf cubs” (recall that the figures of Romulus and Remus were added to the Roman she-wolf in the Renaissance period, when the Church organized the Jesuit Order) and the SS “my pack of wolves.” The Latin lupa means also a whore, and lupanar is brothel. St. Thomas Aquinas considered it necessary for every town to set up a brothel. The party organ of the Nazis was the pornographic Der Stuermer.

Did Jesus Die on the Cross?

“The only pagan contamination in Israel was among the very rich, inspired by self-interest or snobbery, and there were not many of these” (Daniel Rops, Jesus and his Times. 1954, p.408)

As fire when thrown into water is cooled down and put out, so also a false accusation when brought against a man of the purest and holiest character, boils over and is at once dissipated, and vanishes and threats of heaven and sea, himself standing unmoved. Marcus Tullius Cicero

Go to the link http://www.gnosticjudas.com/jesus.php, to see an unusual portrait of Jesus.
Early Christian “doctors” were constantly contradicting themselves as to when exactly “the Lord” died or “ascended to heaven” after “he” was resurrected. Two of the most powerful early bishops, Irenaeus and Papias recorded that Christ lived to be very old, flatly denying as 'heresy' the Gospel stories as to his crucifixion at about thirty years of age.” In one of the Warsaw churches there is a statue of a very old Jesus. The Poles commemoratred this strange fact in a saying: “U fary jest Pan Jezus stary.”

Saint Irenaeus (Greek: Ειρηναίος), (2nd century AD - c. 202 AD) was Bishop of Lugdunum in Gaul, Roman Empire (now Lyons, France). He was an early church father and apologist, and his writings were formative in the early development of Christian theology. He was a disciple of Saint Polycarp, who was said to be a disciple of Saint John the Evangelist.

But unlike John who introduced to his gospel the philosophical demiurge (Logos), Irenaus preferred to speak of the Son and the Spirit as the "hands of God". The world has been intentionally designed by God.
In addition to reversing the wrongs done by Adam, Irenaeus thinks of Christ as "recapitulating" or "summing up" human life.This means that Christ goes through every stage of human life, from infancy to old age, and simply by living it, sanctifies it with his divinity. Irenaeus argues that Christ did not die until he was older than conventionally portrayed.
Ireenaeus' theology can be better understood in the context of Clement's letter to the Corinthian church, which is one of the oldest Christian documents still in existence outside the New Testament.

Saint Clement I, also known as Pope Clement I, Saint Clement of Rome, or Clemens Romanus, was the fourth Pope and Bishop of Rome and is considered the first Apostolic Father of the early Christian church. There are only two extant Greek texts of 1 Clement. The oldest is in Codex Alexandrinus, which dates to the 5th century.
"When it has lived 500 years, it builds itself a nest in the branches of an oak. In this it collects spices, and of these materials builds a pile on which it deposits itself, and dying, breathes out its last breath. From the body of the parent bird, a young Phoenix issues forth. When this has grown up, it lifts its nest from the tree and caries it to the city of Heliopolis in Egypt and deposits it in the Temple of the Sun."
- Ovid in his Metamorphoses

The proud Egyptian father, holding an emblem of life, the Ankh, uttered the most solemn wish an Egyptian father could make for a newborn child: “May you exist for millions of years, like the sun”! The capstone, or pyramidion placed on top of all pyramida was known in ancient Egyptian language as the Benben and was conidered to be a symbol of the Bennu bird (and thus also of rebirth and immortality. These capstones were replicas of the original benben stone – perhaps a conical 'oriental meteorite' – which was said to 'have fallen from heaven' and which was kept in Heliopolis, perched atop a pillar in a Temple called the “Mansion of the Phoenix”.
Clement:
Proof of the Resurrection – rebirth of the Phoenix! Not the Risen Christ!
"Let us understand, dearly beloved, how the Master continually showeth unto us the resurrection that shall be hereafter ...
Let us consider the marvellous sign which is seen in the regions of the east, that is, in the parts about Arabia.
There is a bird, which is named the phoenix. This, being the only one of its kind, liveth for five hundred years; and when it hath now reached the time of its dissolution that it should die, it maketh for itself a coffin of frankincense and myrrh and the other spices, into the which in the fulness of time it entereth, and so it dieth.
But, as the flesh rotteth, a certain worm is engendered, which is nurtured from the moisture of the dead creature and putteth forth wings. Then, when it is grown lusty, it taketh up that coffin where are the bones of its parent, and carrying them journeyeth from the country of Arabia even unto Egypt, to the place called the City of the Sun; and in the day time in the sight of all, flying to the altar of the Sun, it layeth them thereupon; and this done, it setteth forth to return. So the priests examine the registers of the times, and they find that it hath come when the five hundredth year is completed.

Do we then think it to be a great and marvelous thing, if the Creator of the universe shall bring about the resurrection of them that have served Him with holiness in the assurance of a good faith, seeing that He showeth to us even by a bird the magnificence of His promise?"

– The Epistle of St Clement to the Corinthians

In the New Testament of Christian Bible, a provocative and most serious challenge is laid on the whole of Christianity. Since it bears directly on our subject, we will quote it:

"...if Christ be not risen, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith is also in vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God... And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins."

(I Cor 15:14, 15, & 17)

According to Tertullian (Demurrer Against the Heretics 36 and 32:2) Clement was ordained by Peter.
In the Gnostic document entitle Revelation on Pistis Sophia, the Phoenx, which periodically puts itself to death (like Jesus) and resurrects, is said to have been created as a witness for the iniquitous judgment passed upon Adam by the Archons. (Jean Doresse, The Secret Booksa of the Egyptian Gnostics.1986, p.169)
Tha Acta Diurnia or “daily gazette” chronicled events both momentous and trivial in Rome and the empire. Pliny drew on the acta for a number of the oddities he records in his Natural History. Some events reported in the Acta were too far-fetched even for the credulous Pliny to swallow, however, and he treats them with caution. The reputed sightings of a phoenix was one of these. (www.com.washington.edu/program/c)
Stoicism- the Backbone of the New Testament

The Stoics translated the pheonix myth into their philosophical jargon.. Stoicism consider the universe on a path to conflagration.The end of the human history will meet its doom in a massive conflagration that will cause all things to return to their original state, exactly like the phoenix does. What makes the association with Christianity more interesting is the tag at the end of Cicero's note on the subject when he declares that there will b e a conflagration so that “once again a new world may be created and the ordered universe be restored as before” (Early Stoic Physics, SVF II, 593). The same philosophy lies behind Big Bang.(Cp. The idea of a new earth in the New Testament)

The Stoic teaching that fiery breath (pneuma) infusing the physical body reverberates in Jesus' saying that The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three 'measures of flour, till the whole was leavened.' (Lk 13:20-21). The Stoics contrasted soul and matter. These two principles are the active and passive. Matter is identified with the passive principle. Its complement, the active principle, is reason (LOGOS) or God and is held to extend through matter providing it with motion (like leaven in flour), form, and structure. Both principles are bodily or corporeal principles, but neither exists in isolation.
Pneuma was the “creative fire” of the cosmos, a pyr technikon. It had the status of divinity, and was equated with both god and cosmic reason. Ex 32:24 reports miraculous birth of Golden Calf out of creative fire: `Let any who have gold take it off'; so they gave it to me, and I threw it into the fire, and there came out this calf." The Vedic god Surya was a solar bull. According to the Assyrians, the bull was born of the sun. There is a link between this philosophy and the words of Jesus reported by John 3:14 (See below).

According to Zen theology the Buddha is “the deity of fire who seeks fire”. The cloven tongues of fire that appeared on the Apostles’ heads symbolized their enlightenment (buddha lit. means the enlightened one) – they became “jamad-agni”, those who knew the identity of god and fire. The cloven tongues of fire on the Apostles’ heads are logically connected with Jesus words (Lk. 12:49): “I am come to send fire on the earth…” Here Christ confronts the Jewish belief in personal God with the atheistic impersonal Absolute of the Aryan religion. Brahman is a neuter word which means energy or fire, or sun.
Paul wrote in 1 Cor 15:16-17: “For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain...
On Feb. 9, 1989, A. Sakharov traveled to Italy where he spent more than an hour in private audience with the Pope John Paul II and received an honorary doctorate in astronomy from the University of Bologna. Rector of the University said on this occasion: “Not by chance has he (Sakharov) been placed in the company of Copernicus, of Galileo and of Giordano Bruno. Not by chance is the book chosen for the laureation of A. Sakharov The Dialogue of the Two Greatest Systems by Galileo: a choice meant to recall the spirit of liberty…” Or I would say, license to kill the remaining Jews...

In 1992 Pope John Paul said: “Galileo sensed in his scientific research the presence of the Creator who, stirring in the depth of his spirit, stimulated him, anticipating and assisting his intuitions.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_Galilei)

Only disregard for teaching of the Bible and a blind admiration for the tradition of philosophical doctrines explains the view of Kepler that man’s ability to understand the mathematical law governing the universe enabled him to mirror God’s own thoughts and thus put him in special contact (mystical union) with the Creator of the Universe. (Cp. Jesus words: “My Father and I are one.” Jn. 10:30). Kepler's God was Plato's metaphysical God (Logos) who is a-historicist mathematician who eternally geometrizes.

The same God wrote for Galileo the Book of Nature. Galileo on the Book of Nature.“Philosophy is written in that very large book that is continually opened before our eyes (I mean the universe), but which is not understood unless first one studies the language and knows the characters in which it is written. The language of that book is mathematical and the characters are triangles, circles, and other geometric figures.” (Galileo Galilei: Pensieri, motti e sentenze; Florence, 1949) The Hindu Vishnu holds a disc or a rounded piece of gold in his hand. The Egyptian Ra wears a disc as a crown). Will future encyclicals be written in mathematical equations? The God on the front page of the Renaissance edition of the Vulgate wears a triangle on his head.

Prof. A. Sakharov's Solar Phoenix
Solar Phoenix and the birth of Fascism/National Socialism. Jules Soury, the Father of the French Fascism and an apostle of Haeckel , declared,'Matter is a phoenix which does not consume itself except in order to emerge from its own ashes, rejuvenated. In the eternal fecundity of the chaos of the world, the Milky Way composed of innumerable suns, is the same as the flower or insect on earth. Neither God nor transcendental spirit but 'matter ...alone subsists, uncreated; worlds (arise) and pass away, subjected like all other beings to an endless cycle of generation and destruction. This is the general law from which our solar system cannot escape.'

The Soviet physicist “proved” that the sun is an immortal god in his dogma of the “solar phoenix”, or strictly materialistic principle of the “spontaneous resurrection of energy (brahma) such as takes place in the sun's core.” And this scientific dogma explains the strange Latin expression "resurrexit” (“he has risen again”) which in nonscriptural references is used almost invariably and surrectio (“risen”) hardly ever. Resurrectio suggest natural process repeating itself time and again and not a “historical fact” as exemplified by the risen Jesus. The term resurrectio mirrors Plato’s cosmology which was cyclic, with periodic destruction and recreation of the universe in conjunction with various astronomical events. Sakharov wanted to undo Patriarch Nikon’s reform who in the 17th century dropped the part of the phrase concerning sanctification “by the Holy Spirit and by fire” because “fire” did not have sufficient textual warrant, and this offended those who believed that the Holy Sprit was Himself fire according to the Aryan dogma. Prof. Sakharov was a true Aryan “jamad-agni”, or a sage who knows the identity of god and fire.

Quoting from the Britannica article on “stellar evolution”:

The spread of luminosities and colors of stars within the main sequence can be understood as a consequence of evolution...As the stars evolve, they adjust to the increase in the helium-to-hydrogen ratio in their cores...When the core fuel is exhausted, the internal structure of the star changes rapidly; it quickly leaves the main sequence and moves towards the region of giants and supergiants.

The Sun is destined to perish as a white dwarf. But before that happens, it will evolve into a red giant, engulfing mercury and Venus in the process. At the same time, it will blow away the earth's atmosphere and boil its oceans, making the planet uninhabitable.

And was it always said that the manner of Jesus' death was crucifixion? Apparently not. Here is what is written in Baraitha Bab. Sanhedrin 43a:
On the eve of Passover Yeshu was hanged. For forty days before the execution took place, a herald went forth and cried, "He is going forth to be stoned because he has practiced sorcery and enticed Israel to apostasy. Any one who can say anything in his favour, let him come forward and plead on his behalf." But since nothing was brought forward in his favour he was hanged on the eve of the Passover! - Ulla retorted: Do you suppose that he was one for whom a defence could be made? Was he not a Mesith [enticer], concerning him Scripture says, Neither shalt though spare, neither shalt thou conceal him? With Yeshu however it was different, for he was connected with the government for royalty [i.e., influential]. Our Rabbis taught: Yeshu had five disciples, Matthai, Nakai, Nezer, Buni, and Todah.
How was Jesus connected with the Government?

King Hezekia encouraged by prophet Isaiah restored the celebration of the Passover and destroyed the “brazen serpent” crafted long-ago by Moses in the wilderness which had become an object of idolatrous worship.

The Gnostic Jesus asks Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews (John 3: 14): “And as Moses in the desert lifted the serpent on the pole, the Son of Man must be lifted up. That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life”. True, Moses set a “fiery serpent upon a pole” in order to calm panic of the people bitten by fiery serpents” (Num. 21:8). Obviously, this episode of the brazen serpent matches that of the Golden Calf and both events confirm that the Jews who left Egypt were still attached to the symbols of the Egyptian religion that they must have professed during centuries of their bondage. The brazen serpent called Nehushtan continued to be venerated by the people until it was destroyed by King Hezekiah (2 Ki 18.4). But Jesus seems not to have known that or simply ignored the fact of destruction of the pagan religious symbol. His mindset reminds strongly the mindset of Pope Pius II who believed that the Roman Empire had fallen because the scholars had deserted paganism for the Papacy. A pre-Christian relief from Cyprus shows a combination of serpents, crosses and swastikas. Recall that Philistines (or Palestinians according to KJV) came to Egypt and Canaan from the Mediterranean islands. The Capernaum “synagogue” which, according to the Gospels, was built by a Roman officer and was used by Jesus to preach, had the walls adorned with the perennial solar symbol, swastika.In 167 BC Hellenized Jews cooperated with Antiochus IV to sacrifice pigs to Dionysus in the Temple of Jerusalem.

A strange but related story is told in Acts 28:1-6; in this story the apostle Paul is visiting the 9-mile-long island Melita (Malta), a center of serpent-soul worship beneath the southern tip of Italy. The underworld of the gods, it was claimed, was accessed from this island. Paul is bit by a serpent or viper, “which came out of the heat and fastened on his hand” (similarly the golden calf came out of the heat). But Paul shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. The Maltese said he was a god.

This collaboration with the Herodians and their political tool the Sanhedrin to promote the faith in immortality was what the Romans needed in order to continue the occupation of Judea. Everywhere attention to Rome and the real situation in Palestine were deflected to otherwordly concerns. The New Testament seems to be a sort of fairytale situated in a very bloody, turbulent time.

Can you imagine the better pro-Roman propaganda that the one preached in the Sermon on the Mountain: “Ye have heard that it hath been said (Lev. 19:18), Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children of Your Father who is in heaven: for he makes his sun rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust' (Mt. 5:43-45). The passage quotes Lev 19.18, 'love your neighbor as yourself', and then it attributes to others the reverse, 'hate your enemy'. The second half is not a quotation from the Bible.

The impression that Jesus was a poor man, and even homeless is supported by the Gospel of Matthew (8:20) where Jesus says about himself: “The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but I (the Son of man) hath not where to lay his head.” The inspiration for this verse is very revealing. 130 years before Christ Tiberius Gracchus such a thought for the whole proletariat of Rome: “The wild beasts of Italy have their holes and their lairs, in which they rest, but the men that fight and die for Italy's power have nothing but air and light, because this they can not be robbed of. They roam with their wives and children without house and home.” Interestingly, a early Christian mosaic depicts Jesus wearing uniform of a Roman legionary.

Let me remind in this contxt the pertinent observation by Karl Kautsky in his Foundations of Christianity: “Compare the sermon on the Mount in Luke and in Matthew, which is later. In the first it is still a glorification of the poor and a damning of the rich. By Matthew's time this had become a touchy subject for many Christians, and the Gospel according to Matthew boldly turns the poor who are blesed into the poor of spirit (simpletons), and leaves the damning of the rich out altogether.”

Who Pays the Piper Calls the Piper's tune

“For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. Cast ye unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Mt 25: 14-30) This excellent summary of market operations was expressed by Jesus at a banquet he partook of in the home of a rich taxcollector. And don't forget "Give to the emperor the things that are the emperor's, and to God the things that are God's." (Mt. 12:17; Lk 20:26). Jesus was not leading riots against Herod's tax collectors, like he was doing at the Jerusalem Temple, he was sharing meals with them.

Jesus doesn't seem to have thought of ending poverty. He took for granted, like all the ancients, that a slave's duty is to serve his master well; “blessed is the slave whom his master, returning, finds performing his charge” (Mt. 24:46). He is not concerned to attack existing economic or political institutions, on the contrary, he condemns those impatient, ardent souls who would “take the Kingdom of Heaven by storm.”

John mentions Jesus' disciple who was known unto the High Priest: “And (the disciple) went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest. But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the High Priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.” (John 18:15-16)

By the time Jesus was born there were a number of factors that led to the corruption of Sanhedrin. First, there was the outside influence of the Romans. Herod, for example, had killed members of the Sanhedrin who challenged his wicked behavior. He also filled the supreme court with men who were willing to cooperate with his corrupt manner of conducting business. Under the Romans the Sanhedrin more or less adopted a form of political pragmatism to get along with their Roman overlords. In AD 6 Judea was made a Roman province. Under this political situation the Sanhedrin and the high priest were “granted almost exclusive control of the internal affairs of the nation ... and, so long as public order was maintained and tax revenues were forthcoming, they were content for national matter to be under the control of the Jerusalem Sanhedrin. The Sanhedrin had great power but they were always ultimately answerable to the Roman governor. (Brian Schwertley, The Ecclesiastical Trial, Part 2: Before the Sanhedrin , www.reformedonline.com/)

Luke's accurate and relatively abundant knowledge about the Herod family may be due to his acquaintance with certain people who had close contact with the family. He mentions Joanna the wife of one of Antipas's stewards, among the well-to-do women who supported Jesus and his disciples during their itinerant ministry, and his reference to Manaen 'companion' or 'courtier' of Herod, the tetrarch who became one of the leading teachers and prophets in the church of Syrian Antioch about AD 47 is also of interest. Luke must have found in Manaen a valuable informant on the contacts of Antipas and his relatives with the early Christian story.

Manaen is also mentioned in Acts 13:1-3: “Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which has ben brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul...” The rulers of the Herod dynasty were brought up in Rome

Shaul-Paul was well connected too

Rufus , the Roman Senator married Priscilla, mother of the Apostle Paul through another marriage. Rufus and Pudens parented Rufus Pudens Pudentianna, Saint Pauls half-brother. Saint Paul, or Paul of Tarsus, is a Christian saint, who has lent his name to a number of places and things: Buildings and institutions Churches St Pauls Cathedral in London, England, designed by Christopher Wren St Pauls Cathedral (Macau) in Macau St Pauls Cathedral, in Melbourne.
Pudens was the husband of Claudia. They were identified with the Pudens and Claudia of Martial’s ‘Epigrams’ (iv. 13, xi. 53), and Claudia was held to be a British maiden and a daughter of a British chief named Cogidubnus (Martial, xi. 53, ‘CIL.’ vii. 11)

King of Siluria, was sainted by the early Church of Britain. "He first of the Cymry gave infants names, for before names were not given except to adults, and then from something characteristic in their bodies, minds, or manners." His brother Linus the Martyr, his sister Claudia and her husband Rufus Pudens aided the Apostle Paul in the Christian Church in Rome, as recorded in II Timothy 4:21 and Romans 16:13 (Rufus Pudens and St. Paul are shown to be half-brothers, with the same mother but different fathers. "His mother and mine." She thus appears to have been the mother of an elder son, Paul, by a Hebrew husband, and a younger son, Rufus, by a second marriage with a Roman Christian.)

Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. Erastus stayed in Corinth, but Trophimus I have left in Miletus sick. Do your utmost to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, as well as Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brethren. The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen (2 Timothy 4:19-22).

From all this we realize that Paul and Rufus Pudens Pudentius were half-brothers, each having the same mother. In turn, this made the British Princess Gladys, the emperor Claudius' adopted daughter, now known as Claudia Britannica Rufina Pudens Pudentius, sister-in-law the Apostle of the Gentiles! And lastly, through Gladys' adoption, Paul is the half-brother-son-in-law (if there can be such a thing) to the emperor Claudius!
St. Bernard, while gazing upon the glories of the Church, once commented, “Thus, wealth is drawn by ropes of wealth, thus money bringeth money...O vanity of vanities, yet no more vain than insane. The Church is resplendent in her walls, beggarly in her poor. She clothes her stones in gold, and leaves her sons naked.”

Jesus Had a Rich Family with Ties to the Herodians

According to the Gospel of Matthew ( Matthew 27:60), the garden and tomb were the private property of Jesus’ wealthy uncle, Joseph of Arimathea. Some said that Joseph was the uncle of Vigin Mary and therefore of Jesus. He was well placed as Nobilis Decurio, a minister of mines for the Roman empire, with direct access to Pilate himself.
Described as one who was “looking for the kingdom of God,” Mark 15:43. all four Gospels agree that Joseph was a member of the Sanhedrin which is the way bouleutēs, literally "counsellor", in Matthew 27:57 and Luke 23:50 is often interpreted, and a secret disciple of Jesus. (John 19:38) Scholars suggest his private garden and Jesus’ tomb was likely the Garden of Gethsemane, a favorite gathering place of the disciples with a clear view of the Temple on Mount Moriah or Sion (or Zion, the ancient name for Jerusalem).
When Pilate allowed Joseph's request he immediately purchased fine linen (Mark 15:46) and proceeded to Golgotha to take the body down from the cross. There, assisted by Nicodemus, he took the body and wrapped it in the fine linen, sprinkling it with the myrrh and aloes that Nicodemus had brought (John 19:39). Remember, the phoenix “maketh for itself a coffin of frankincense and myrrh and the other spices...” (See Mummy)

It Was Finished Amazingly Fast!

According to the Gospel of Mark, immediately after the Crucifixion Joseph of Arimathea asked Pontius Pilate for Jesus’ body. Pilate was astonished that Jesus is dead so soon (Mk 15:44), it usually took several excruciatingly painful days for the crucified to perish. That was the point.

The Gospels record that Jesus was suspended from the pillar at the sixth hour (noon), at the ninth hour (3 p.m.) he said he thirsted and was given a sponge soaked with vinegar by a Roman centurion (in fulfillment of Psalm 22:16 and Zecharia 12:10). When Jesus received the vinegar, which normally has a reviving effect, Jesus said, “It is finished: and bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” (John 29:30) By nightfall he was declared dead.

This is where medical doctors see trouble in the story of the Crucifixion. How is it possible, they wonder that a viral and powerful man such as Jesus (the image on the Shroud of Turin is that of man who was about 5’ 10” tall, 165 pounds) could have died so quickly?

Pilate also had reason to be surprised. Jesus’ legs were not even broken, the customary coup de grace which hastened death so that the dead bodies did not remain on the pillars on the Sabbath day. (John 19:31) The breaking of the legs prevented the crucified from straightening out their bodies. This assured suffocation within a few hours. Mallets broke the legs of the thieves. Jesus’ legs were left untouched because he was believed to be dead already. So how come he died so soon?

Pilate conferred on this matter with a Roman centurion who is named Longinus in the apocryphal Book of Nicodemus. According to the Gospel of John, he was the centurion who thrust his lance into the side of Jesus to confirm his death. (John 19:33-35) Blood and water flowed out.

None of the other Gospels mention Longinus’ action or the transformed blood and water of Christ. Yet in the Gospel of John this blood simultaneously verified Jesus was dead and that the faith of Christ is centered in his blood and water.

Longinus became an early hero of the first Christians for his actions that Good Friday in April 2,000 years ago. If Jesus’ legs had been broken his body weight would have crushed his lungs causing him to die from asphyxiation.
Most importantly, if Jesus’ legs had been broken, the prophecy of Exodus 12:46 “… a bone of him shall not be broken” would have been unfulfilled. Some say that in that moment, by his single action, Longinus held the destiny of the world in his hands. When he made the decision to pierce the side of Jesus he altered history.

Short Spear or Sponge?

Longinus the centurion and his Spear are the subject of immense mystery. According to legend, he was nearly blind. In the apocryphal Acta Pilata, Longinus was the supervisor of the Crucifixion.

Christian legend also claims Longinus was a secret follower of Jesus. He is the same centurion who, transformed by the events that transpired at the Crucifixion, praised Jesus as the true Son of God (Mk. 15:39)

He was also the centurion who confirmed the death of Jesus to Pilate, and who then released the body of Jesus to another of Jesus’ secret disciples, Joseph of Arimathea. It has even been suggested that Longinus was the Roman soldier who administered the ‘vinegar’ to Jesus.

In their carefully researched work, The Jesus Conspiracy. The Turin Shroud and the Truth about the Resurrection. (1994, pp.252-3) Holger Kersten and Elmar Gruber note that an error of translation was made when the word hyssos (‘short spear’) was taken for hyssopos (‘hyssop’). Through this error it is revealed that, instead of a spear, Longinus held up a sponge soaked in a narcotic substance that put Jesus into a catatonic state, giving him the appearance of death.

Body or Corpse?

The trouble with the description of Longinus’ piercing Jesus’ side and the blood spurting out is that it is medically impossible. Corpses do not bleed. In order for blood to spurt out Jesus would have had to be at least partially alive. Additionally, it has been argued for centuries that Longinus’ piercing and the wound it caused was not sufficient to kill Jesus. The wounds that appear on the body in the Shroud of Turin tend to support this. So, the question continues to be asked: is the Gospel of John indicating that Jesus was still alive after the Crucifixion?

Dead Sea Scroll scholar Hugh Schonfield The Passover Plot. A New Interpretation of Life and Death of Jesus (1965 p.168), and the authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail (p.329) note that in the original Greek version of Mark’s Gospel, when Joseph asks for Jesus’ body he uses the word soma -- a word they propose applied to a living body. Pilate responds in the affirmative, but uses the word ptoma -- which means “corpse.”

This is a perplexing state of affairs. Given the two different words, soma and ptoma, did Joseph receive a living or a dead body? This is the vital question of Christianity. 1 Corinthinians asks “If Christ be not risen, then is our preaching in vain, and your faith is also vain?”

John’s Gospel says that, along with Nicodemus, Joseph pulled Jesus’ mangled body from the pillar. Without the knowledge or involvement of any of the other apostles they rushed the body to Joseph’s garden and went immediately to work. The two men treated the open cuts and wounds with a sticky gel made from over 100 pounds of aloe, myrrh and other medicinal herbs. They wrapped his body in a linen shroud, and placed it in Joseph’s private tomb, sealing it with a large rolling rock. Were they preparing Jesus’ body for burial or healing the massive wounds?

Joseph came from Arimathea near the Samarian border. He returned there after the Crucifixion, suggesting he lived there.

The question thus arises:

Why is Joseph’s family burial tomb in Jerusalem?
Especially in a location so conveniently located to the site of Jesus’ Crucifixion?
Was his burial place located there because Joseph considered Jerusalem sacred?
Or, knowing that Jesus’ execution was imminent, unavoidable and indeed necessary for the fulfillment of prophecy, was this site’s proximity to the site of the Crucifixion pre-selected as part of an elaborate conspiracy for as a recovery area?

Arimathea is often held to be another name for Ramathaim-Zophim in Ephraim, the birth-place of Samuel, where David came to Samuel. (1 Sam. 1:1, 19), Others identify it with Ramlah in Dan, or Ramah in Benjamin. (Matt. 2:18)

Josephus mentions that one of his former colleagues who, after his intervention with Titus, was brought down from the cross survived.

Gospel of Nicodemus

The Gospel of Nicodemus, a text appended to the Acts of Pilate, provides additional, though even more mythologized, details. After Joseph asked for the body of Christ from Pilate, and prepared the body with Nicodemus' help, Christ's body was delivered to a new tomb that Joseph had built for himself. In the Gospel of Nicodemus, the Jewish elders express anger at Joseph for burying the body of Christ in the following exchange:
And likewise Joseph also stepped out and said to them: Why are you angry against me because I begged the body of Jesus? Behold, I have put him in my new tomb, wrapping in clean linen; and I have rolled a stone to the door of the tomb. And you have acted not well against the just man, because you have not repented of crucifying him, but also have pierced him with a spear.
—Gospel of Nicodemus. Translated by Alexander Walker.
The “Betrayal” Induced by Theological Argument

The apocryphal Gospel of Judas reads:

“But you will exceed all of them. For you will sacrifice the man that clothes me.. Already your horn has been raised, your wrath has been kindled, your star has shown brightly, and your heart has […]. [57]
“Truly […] your last […] become [----about two and a half lines missing----], grieve [----about two lines missing----] the ruler, since he will be destroyed. And then the image of the great generation of Adam will be exalted, for prior to heaven, earth, and the angels, that generation, which is from the eternal realms, exists. Look, you have been told everything. Lift up your eyes and look at the cloud and the light within it and the stars surrounding it. The star that leads the way is your star.”

“No one can show greater love than by laying down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13) “We have learnt to know what love is from this – that Christ laid down his life on our behalf, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.” (1 John 3:16)

The apocryphal Syrian Acts of Thomas declare that Thomas was Jesus' twin brother, and that his full name was Judas Tammuz or Judas Thomas.

The Qur'an insists that Judas had the same face as Jesus and was crucified in his place. A servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James authored the New Testament epistle of Jude (short for Judas). James was Jesus' brother. Does this make Judas Jesus' twin brother Thomas as the Syrian and The Gospel of Thomas insist?

Two French priests Sauniere and Baudet at the beginning of the century filled the Church bof Mary Magdalene at Rennes-Le-Chateau with a collection of religious statues and paintings. The 14 Stations of the Cross are depicted, each one slightly or entirely twisted from its “official” meaning. For instance one shows a Scotsman in kilts observing the crucifixion. Another, even more powerful depiction, shows two thieves carrying an alive, but unconscious, Jesus from his burial tomb under moonlight.

Caesar's Decree - c. 50 C.E.
"A stone slab found in Nazareth, of height 0.61m is inscribed (in Greek) with a decree demanding the death penalty for anyone who broke the seals on a tomb or stole a dead body." (Attributed date c. 50 C.E.)
- Summarized extract - IVP Three Volume Bible Dictionary (under section for Nazareth)

"It is my pleasure that graves and tombs remain undisturbed in perpetuity for those who have made them for the cult of their ancestors, or children, or members of their house. If, however, any man lay information that another has either demolished them, or has in any other way extracted the buried, or has maliciously transferred them to other places in order to wrong them, or has displaced the sealing or other stones, against such a one I order that a trial be instituted, as in respect of the gods, so in regard to the cult of mortals. For it shall be much more obligatory to honour the buried. Let it be absolutely forbidden for anyone to disturb them. In the case of contravention I desire that the offender be sentenced to capital punishment on charge of violation of sepulture."
- Ordinance of Caesar

“Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance...At this she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus...Thinking that he was the gardener she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him and I will get him.” (John 20:1-18). The Hebrew biography of Jesus Toledot Yeshu mentions Judah the Gardener, a personage corresponding to Judas Iscariot.

Significantly, Matthew devotes rather fewer words to the fabulous resurrection than to rebutting the idea that the disciples had simply stolen the body – a tale obviously popular among the Jews when the fable was written (“This saying has been spread abroad among the Jews up to this very day” - 28:15)

A Few paragraphs from the book THE JESUS FAMILY TOMB. The Discovery, the Investigation, and the Evidence That Could Change History. Simcha Jacobovici and Charles Oellegrino. Foreword by James Cameron. HarperSanFrancisco 2007
Ossuary of St. Peter

(Father Bellarmino Bagatti (1905-90) held a chair at the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum in Jerusalem, where he taught, studied, wrote, and worked. Besides being a Franciscan monk, Father Bagatti, an Italian by birth, was also an accomplished archaeologist).

In 1953 the Franciscans were renovating their Church at Dominus Flevit (“the Lord Wept”) on the Mount of Olives, overlooking the Temple Mount. It was here, that Jesus saw the Temple of Jerusalem and wept for what he believed was its forthcoming destruction. The name of the Hindu god 'Rudra' means a weeping god.

One might have thought that the Church would have backed Bagatti, but there were two problems with his finds, neither of them having to do with archaeology. First of all, Bagatti was unearthing the remains of the very people the Church fathers called heretics. Hardly a reason to celebrate them. Second of all, there was a particularly distracting find at Dominus Flevit: Bagatti had identified what was arguably the ossuary of St. Peter.

For years, the Vatican has been digging under St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, looking for evidence that St. Peter is actually buried there, as per tradition. Sure enough, there is an ancient Roman cemetery under St. Peter's, but it is a pagan cemetery. There is not one shred of credible archaeological evidence linking the cemetery under the Vatican with the apostle Peter.

The earliest record placing Linus as the first Bishop after Peter was from Irenaeus in ~180 AD, more than 100 years later. Irenaeus was an apologist for the church who defended "apostlic succession". Unfortunately, no other records before that time even mention Linus. Tertullian, who lived during the same time as Irenaeus, wrote that the first Bishop was actually Clement I, and doesn't even mention Linus.

The Lost Tomb of Jesus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lost Tomb of Jesus is a documentary co-produced and first broadcast on the Discovery Channel and Vision TV in Canada on March 4, 2007 covering the discovery of the Talpiot Tomb. It was directed by Canadian documentary and film maker Simcha Jacobovici and produced by Felix Golubev and Ric Esther Bienstock, while James Cameron served as executive producer. The film has been released in conjunction with a book about the same subject, The Jesus Family Tomb, issued in late February 2007 and co-authored by Jacobovici and Charles R. Pellegrino. The documentary and book's claims are currently the subject of controversy within the archaeological and theological fields, as well as among linguistic and biblical scholars.
The tomb was discovered in 1980 during a housing construction project. Ten ossuaries were found in the cave, including the six that are the subject of Jacobovici's film. However, one of the ten ossuaries went missing years ago, presumably stolen.
"In their movie they are billing it as 'never before reported information,' but it is not new. I published all the details in the Antiqot journal in 1996, and I didn't say it was the tomb of Jesus' family," said Amos Kloner, now professor of archaeology at Israel's Bar-Ilan University and author of the original excavation report for the predecessor of the Israel Antiquities Authority.[1]
"I think it is very unserious work. I do scholarly work…," Kloner said. "[This film] is all nonsense."[1]

Ossuary inscriptions

Six of the nine remaining ossuaries have inscriptions. The other three ossuaries have no inscriptions. The Lost Tomb of Jesus posits that three of the ossuaries with inscriptions bear the names of figures from the New Testament.[5] The actual meanings of the epigraphs are disputed.[6] The makers of the documentary claim that four leading epigraphers have corroborated their interpretation of the inscriptions.[7] As translated in The Lost Tomb of Jesus and The Jesus Family Tomb, they read as follows:
Yeshua bar Yehosef, Aramaic for "Jesus son of Joseph"
Maria, written in Aramaic script, but a Latin form of the Hebrew name "Miriam" ("Mary")[8]
Yose, a diminutive of "Joseph" mentioned (in its Greek form ιωσης "Joses") as the name of one of Jesus's brothers in the New Testament (Mark 6:3)
Yehuda bar Yeshua, Possibly Aramaic for "Judah son of Jesus"
Mariamene e Mara. According to the filmmakers this is Greek for "Mary known as the master." The similar name "Mariamne" is found in the Acts of Philip: Francois Bovon, professor of the history of religion at Harvard University has suggested based on his study of that work that Mariamene, or Mariamne, was the actual name of Mary Magdalene[8]
Matya, Hebrew for 'Matthew'—not claimed to be Matthew the Evangelist but "possibly a husband of one of the women in an unmarked ossuary."[7]. The filmmakers claim that there is evidence that Mary mother of Jesus had many relatives named Matthew[8]
Four leading epigraphers have corroborated the ossuary inscriptions for The Lost Tomb of Jesus, according to the Discovery Channel.[9] William G. Dever, a retired professor of archaeology at the University of Arizona who has been excavating ancient sites in Israel for 50 years, said that some of the inscriptions on the Talpiot ossuaries are unclear, but that all of the names are common.[10]
The author of The Jesus Dynasty The Hidden History of Jesus, His Royal Family, and the Birth of Christianity. (Simon & Schuster. 2006) was puzzled by a strange logo over the entrance to the tomb showing a circle within a compass. Identical logo stands for the Berlin Grand Masonic Lodge. Let me add a few comments on that.
In about 1103 B.C. Aeneas’s son Brutus migrated and reestablished his group in “the Great White Island” and built a capital city he named New Troy, now called London. The great patron of the Masons Henry IV informs his scholar that the Mystery was brought into England by Peter Gower (i.e. Pythagoras). The first British martyr St. Alban was at the same time Grand Master of the Masons appointed to the post by the Emperor in A.D. 300. In the Philosophical Origins of Gentile Theology Newton describes Jesus as “one of these prophets sent to call mankind back to the truth of the Pythagorean heliocentrism.” The Athenian orator Isokrates (4th century B.C.) observed: “On a visit to Egypt Pythagoras became a student of the religion of the people” That's why Giordano Bruno argued that Copernican heliocentrism should encourage Christians to convert to ancient Egyptian religion. (See also R.H. Brown, Stellar Theology and Masonic Astronomy. New York 1882, p. 31)

Freemasonry still contains a degree of initiation described as the ‘Rose Arch’, and it is in the light of this that the Constitution of Freemasons published in 1723 can be more fully understood. The admission of a new brother is prefaced by the following declaration: “Adam our first parent, created after the image of God, the great Architect of the Universe, must have had the liberal sciences, particularly Geometry (i.e. masonry), written on his heart for ever since the Fall we find the Principles of it in the heart of his offspring.”

Frontispiece to Europe. This work, often described (but not titled by Blake) as the "Ancient of Days", shows an old bearded man, Urizen, using a huge pair of compass to delineate the material world at the moment of creation. This is a Gnostic interpretation of the creation story where a demiurge (a subordinate deity) rather than a benevolent God is the Creator. He sees this moment of creation as rational order being imposed on chaos. The same idea was expressed in the Gospel of John's Logos. In a 13th century depiction of Christ Jesus as the Divine Word (Logos), the Sacred Utterance that brings forth all things into existence, he is displayed with the Compass and Universe in his hand making him the Grand Architect of the Universe. Blake's Newton also imposes order on chaos by compass. Remember Honi the circle drawer making rain by drawing circles? Possibly he was a Platonist who believed that God always geometrizes. He was stoned by the Jews.

Jesus a Stonemason

The traditional English translation “carpenter” which goes back as early as William Tyndale's 1526 edition of the NY, is misleading. The Greek word tekton is a more generic term referring to a “builder.” It can include one who works with wood, but in its 1st-century Galilean context it more likely refers to a stone worker. The 2nd-century Protoevangelium of James refers to Joseph as a “builder of buildings.” Houses and buildings were built of stone. Wood was used sparingly, mostly for roof beams and doors, since wood was a scarce building material in the rocky terrain of Palestine. Jesus often drew upon images of stone building to illustrate his teachings. In one of his well-known stories he speaks of the wise man who in building a house digs a deep foundation and lays the solid stone foundation of the building upon bedrock (Lk 6:48). He appears to have been exposed to the building trades, and stonework of some type was most likely his trade.

In the mid-Victorian period it was socially important, almost essential, for a professional man to be a Freemason. The nouveaux riches of the industrial revolution sought social status through membership of an exclusive society that had a high profile amongst aristocrats of all levels, right up to the royal family itself. In theory at least, members of the working classes were equally eligible to become Masons but in practice it would hardly enter their heads to ask to join bosses ‘club’, so the Lodge has long been associated with the well-to-do. Those at all levels of society who were not Freemasons could only speculate about the secrets revealed to members of this mysterious organization. They were known to wear aprons and large collars and rumored to roll up their trousers and exchange strange handshakes, while whispering passwords to each other. (2) The only absolute requirement of membership is a belief in God…any god. Governor of the Universe (God – described in a neutral way so that He is equally accessible to members of any monotheistic religion) (Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas, The Hiram Key. Pharaohs, Freemasons and the Discovery of the Secret Scrolls of Jesus. 1996)

Which means that as a stonemason Jesus could even claim that he inherited his royal blood from his forefather David.

A sepulchre recently excavated in Rome, under the basilica of the Apostles, which belonged to people who particularly liked to call themselves the Innocenti, or Innocents was adorned with paintings of a somewhat unusual character – with scenes of initiation and of funerals. One symbol in particular, the ascia, or masons' trowel, which was an emblem much used by the Essenians and Pythagoreans, was represented there. (Carcopino, Le Mystèere d'un symbol chrétien)

Jerusalem vs. Rome

Rosemary R. Ruether in his article Anti-Semitism In Christian Theology (Theology Today – Vol. 30, No.4 - January 1974) wrote: “Anti-Semitism in Christianity cannot be dealt with either as an accidental and non-intrinsic accretion or as the product of purely sociological conflicts between the church and the synagogue. At its root, anti-semitism develops in Christianity from theological anti-Judaism. Anti-Judaism in Christian theology stands as the left hand of Christology. The church wished to prove that Jesus was the Christ of the Jewish messianic promise as found in the Jewish Scriptures This demanded a polemic against the ongoing Jewish hermeneutical tradition which denied this interpretation. This denial evoked a response from Christianity designed to show that Judaism, which rejects Jesus' messianic status, itself stands in a rejected status, and so its teaching authority on this subject can be totally discredited. It is from this nexus between Christological and anti-Judaic midrash that we find that intimate union in Christianity between “faith and fratricide”.

The story of Romulus and Remus is the foundation myth of Rome and contrasts very strongly with the advanced morality of the Hebrew foundation myth of Abraham and Isaac. Romulus and Remus were twin brothers who together founded the city of Rome. Their divine parentage and their upbringing by a she-wolf emphasize the utterly new start that they made; they were as if created by nature and were at dawn of a new world. While they were working on the foundations of the city, they quarrelled over the plans. Remus jumped in derision over a trench that Romulus had dug, and in anger, Romulus slew him. Nevertheless, he was not punished for the deed, but on the contrary was given a great sign of favor by the gods: a flight of vultures arose over him, showing that he would found a nation as strong and pitiless as the vulture.

The purpose of the story of Abraham and Isaac is to show that God Himself ordained that animal sacrifice should be substituted for human sacrifice.. By showing that, in the supreme moment of crisis (the actual foundation of the nation), the sacrifice was abrogated, no excuse was left for its reinstitution in any lesser emergency. The founding of the nation and the abrogation of human sacrifice are associated together in a manner that is decisive. In the Abraham-Isaac story as we have it in the Bible, the double aim is secured by having a father willing to sacrifice, but merciful God who forgoes the sacrifice, allowing the substitution of an animal.

What survived from the heritage of idolatry which in Judaism remained peripheral grew to become dominant in the Christian world. Old houses pulled down in England and on the continent are frequently found to have the body of a cat walled up in them. Christian legends tell of monks buried alive under monasteries (e.g. Oran, a companion of Columba, in Iona). In Oldenburg, it is reported that Children were buried alive as late as the 17th century to make the dikes secure.

The first gladiatorial combats were introduced by the Bruti upon the death of their father (264 BC) to take the place of the human sacrifices of slaves previously made to appease the ghosts of the dead (see Valerius Maximus, II, 4, 7) The notion that homicide cannot be commuted is the foundation of criminal law in the Bible: human life is invaluable, hence incommutable. This concept is not found in any other law corpus in the ancient Near East (see Genesis Rabba 22. 12)

The Proto-Gospel According to Philo of Alexandria

The first revolutionary basic idea in Christianity, borrowed from the Philonic school, was that by the one great voluntary sacrifice of a mediator the sins of all times and all men was atoned for once for all - in respect of the faithful. Thus the necessity for any further sacrifices was removed and with it the basis for a multitude of religious rites. In spite of this the habit of sacrifice was so deeply rooted in the customs of peoples that Catholicism - which borrowed so much from paganism - found it appropriate to accommodate itself to this fact by the introduction of at least the symbolical sacrifice of the mass, which John Knox called idolatry. On the other hand, there is no trace whatever of the dogma of original sin.

Support for this belief Philo found in the 5rd chapter of Isaiah, v. 12 where the Prophet speaks of God's suffering servant, who “bare sin of many”. But such concepts cannot be found in the Hebrew Tanakh, but only in the corrupted Greek translation Septuagint, which is the Essene corruption of the Jewish Scriptures. The same Septuagint inspired Paul's gospel about Christ's death for sin and his rising on the third day (Kata tas graphas, 1 Cor 15:3 and 4.)

Philonism became the greatest source of evangelic theological-philosophical fundament. And possibly this fact explain the telling verse of Apocalypse: “And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.” (Some manuscripts read “their Lord”) – Rev. 11:8.

Interestingly, Philo in his book Agaiunst Flaccus (chapter 6-9) writing in the days of Agrippa, about 40 A.D., tells us that the mob at Alexandria dressed up a crazy old man, putting a sham crown on his head, a scepter in his hand, and a purple robe over his body, and hailed him as Karrabas an obvious miswriting for Barabbas, and as Maris, the Syrian word for a royal personage. Other Jews were crucified for opposing the erection of the statues of the Emperor Caius Caligula in Jewish synagogues of Alexandria. Roman governor of Alexandria Flaccus issued a notice in which he called Jews foreigners and aliens...allowing any one who was inclined to proceed to exterminate the Jews as prisoners of war.

Let me remind here that Moses actually taught the substitution of a lamb for the firstborn son (Ex 34:20): “All the first-born of thy sons thou shall redeem (with a lamb)” Prophet Micah plainly witnesses that no external work, how excellent ever it be, does purge or make satisfaction for sin: “Shall I give my first-born son for expiation of mine iniquity, or the fruit of my womb a sin offering for my soul?” (Micah 6:6-7)

Philo's knowledge of Jewish Law, including Midrash, was extensive, but departed in many significant ways from rabbinic traditions, and that explains why he was never mentioned in any early Jewish source. His thought had no influence on Jewish thinking. The first Jewish thinker to revive interest in Philo was Azariah dei Rossi during the period of the Renaissance when neo-paganism was rampant.

In the Christian religion the belief developed that the story of Isaac's binding was a foreshadowing of the sacrifice of Jesus, whom Christians believe was God's only son and simultaneously God Himself, and who gave up his life so that sins could be forgiven. There is a tradition that the site of the binding of Isaac, Moriah, was also the city of Jesus's future crucifixion, i.e. Jerusalem. However no archaeological or historical evidence supports this assertion.

Another instance of human sacrifice mentioned in the Bible is the sacrifice of Jephthah's daughter in Judges chapter 11. Jephthah vows to sacrifice to God whatsoever comes to greet him at the door when he returns home if he is victorious. The vow is stated in Judges 11:31 as "Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the Lord's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering." When he returns from battle, his virgin daughter runs out to greet him. That he actually does sacrifice her is shown in verse 11:39, "And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed". This example seems to be the exception rather than the rule, however, as the verse continues "And she was a virgin. From this comes the Israelite custom that each year the young women of Israel go out for four days to commemorate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite." The lamentations that were offered annually in remembrance of this act frame it as the atrocity it was, and accentuate the grievousness of such a rash action. According to commentators of the rabbinic Jewish tradition this was a gross violation of God's law, and this part of the Bible illustrates the terrible tragedy of human sacrifice. The majority of the early Christian Church Fathers saw the sacrifice of Jepthah's virgin daughter as foreshadowing, like Isaac, the death of Jesus Christ not least because Jepthah's vow in the biblical account was made whilst under the influence of the Holy Spirit (Judges 11:29).

In the Bible the "wise king Solomon" is portrayed as "whoring after" the Tyrian fire and sun god Moloch/Molech/Baal. In reality, the ancient Israelites abandoned YHWH and worshiped many gods, including Moloch, to whom their children were immolated. In fact, the priesthood of Moloch is that of Melchizedek ("Righteous Moloch"), a mythical character who in the Bible is given authority over not only Abraham but Jesus. Hence, the cult of Moloch is to reign supreme behind the scenes.

In Jeremiah 19:5-6 we read, “They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal which I commended not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind: Therefore.... this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter.”

Christianity has its high priest, “a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.” A new and different priesthood arose, for Jesus was of the tribe of Judah, and in his becoming a priest, the line of Levi and Aaron was set aside. That a new covenant had come into being is evident from God's oath, “Thou art a priest forever.” Melchizedek, like Christ, was without a father or a mother or a genealogy. Here Hebrews is protesting against the genealogies in Matthew and Luke. But a similar sentiment is found in another late writing, 1 Timothy 1:4 (“Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies...”) and the latest of the Four Gospels avoids the genealogy. The Jewish priests, being mortal, were not perfect.

The name “Cannibal” (cahna Baal) is another word which means “Baal Priest.” “He who eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life” (John 6:53) Jesus lost many disciples who were offended by this remark (John 6:66) because they thought he was now creating another cult of human sacrifice and cannibalism.

According to modern Gnostics Melchizedek assists in the evolution of the world and also the evolution of not only the earth but the entire universe. “Fear not of moving forward as I am here to guide you to the light of Evolution. I AM Melchizedek”. In the Gnostic literature Melchizedek is “without father or mother, of no known generation ... without end of life ...priest for eternity. In other words, he was a child of St. Thomas Aquinas's generatio aequivoca (abiogenesis). In fact, in the Gnostic Gospel of God according to the Egyptians “Christ the divine Autogenesis created everything.” (www.gnostics.com/gospel.html)

Adam von Bremen recorded human sacrifices to Odin in 11th century Sweden; in the holy groves of Uppsala, men were sacrificed by being hung up on the sacred trees. According to the Ynglinga saga, king Domalde was sacrificed there in the hope to bring greater future harvests and the total domination of all future wars. The same saga also relates that Domalde's descendant king Aun sacrificed nine of his own sons to Odin in exchange for longer life, until the Swedes stopped him from sacrificing his last son, Egil. Odin or Wotan was a Nordic Moloch.

The theory that Jesus did not die on the cross, but arranged his own simulated death, has been around for at least two hundred years – and has given rise to discussions just as long as. In German, the theory was called Die Scheintodt-Hypothese, in English the Swoon Theory. The person who came to be most associated with the theory from the beginning was the German theologian, H.E.G. Paulus. In three works, published from 1800 to 1842, Paulus put a great deal of effort into interpreting all the miracles described in the New Testament by providing them with natural explanations. Paulus who was a rationalist like Reimarus, embraced the moral and spiritual content of Jesus' teachings and deeds, but considered that all the miracles that were described had rational explanations. And, as regards the crucifixion – and above all that Jesus rose again and showed himself alive – HEG Paulus thought that the simplest explanation for this was that Jesus never actually died on the cross, but was taken down alive, albeit unconscious.

The Swoon Theory lives on into our own days. Among the twentieth-century authors who, in one form or another, have put forward this theory, one can note George Moore, Frank Harris, Ernest Brougham Docker, D.H. Lawrence, Robert Graves and Joshua Podero, Hugh J. Schonfield, Donovanm Joyce, J.D.M Derret, Holger Kersten and Elmaqr R. Gruber, Michael Baigent, Richard Leighg and Henry Lincoln,. Barbara Thiering, Gerald Messadie and Helmer Linderholm.

According to modern Gnostics Melchizedek assists in the evolution of the world and also the evolution of not only the earth but the entire universe. “Fear not of moving forward as I am here to guide you to the light of Evolution.

Odin or Wotan was a Nordic Moloch.

Paul Wiser than Jesus

Paul discovered what till then had been hidden from all the wise, Jesus included, that in and through Adam all have sinned: so he argued that “As by one man's disobedience many were made sinner, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous (Rom. 5:19). “For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even in Christ shall all be made alive (I Cor 15:21-22)

Therefore, according to Paul, Jesus saved us by dying for our sins. His death was the act of salvation: he gave himself as a ransom. Notice, however, according to Paul, Jesus died not, however, for everybody, but for those only who believed in him. I sure would not have wanted to live in the firs century, say, Poland, because if I had, according to Paul, the chance of the news of Yeshua's death for my sin surely most likely would not have arrived in Poland in time for my consideration

As if that was not enough, one finds that such necessary tenants in Pauline theology for Eternal Life were lifts straight out of pagan religions. It was this clever synthesis on Paul's doctrines patterned after pagan religious doctrines throughout the world that guaranteed the ease of the spread of Gentile Christianity as well as the ease of catholic Church's worldwide acceptance of Paul's Gospel since it had a little bit of something from everywhere which almost everyone who heard it was somewhat familiar.

Paul limits “salvation” to his gospel and to only those who “believed in it”. This limitation was obviously necessary, or there would have been no further need for Paul or his gospel. Salvation, therefore, was made conditional on belief in the gospel of Paul. The true and conflicting gospel of Yeshua, the Jew, was not taught by Paul. This is astounding but in all of Paul's writings he mentions only 2 of Yeshua's teachings, and after doing that, Paul is quick to bring his own interpretation on the matter as if we needed it. According to Paul, mankind were still in their sins, notwithstanding the ransom; but by “believing” and by “baptism” anybody could bring himself within the operation of this “new dispensation”. This is where “faith” came in, and explains the necessity for the strangest of all doctrines, that faith counts for more than works (“creed” counts more than “deed”). The whole business remains in the hands of the Church. Not the Jewish Law and the deeds induced by it, but the Church Faith and no deeds. All is allowed and it is a priest who absolves every crime

Cicero, the father of the American Democracy

Cicero, in his recipe for the ideal state, reacted strongly against democracy: “My granting the people the freedom to vote is so managed that the possession and use of political power shall be in hands of men of goodwill (boni, i.e. People of the upper class; according to American political dogma the men with means always will win election)...so that liberty may consist in th very fact that the people are given an opportunity of honorably gaining the favor of those men.”

Cicero maintained that that the importance of religion was political, residing in its power to keep the multitude under control, to prevent social chaos, and to promote patriotic feeling (Cp. Patriot Act)

The same two themes, of subsidized food and amusements (sitcoms) recur very often on the imperial coinage, as ever larger sums were spent on these items. Though the Baths were good for the bodies of the “free” Roman people, their exclusion from government and their dependence on largesses and an often horrible amusements degrade their minds. What was said of Heine is true of Juvenal: “as much as he hated an arbitrary absolutism, he hated equally the pettiness of mind which is bred among the people.” Seneca, like Cicero, loves humanity, yet is not fond of the malodorous crowd. According to Epictetus, the philosopher would be well advised to shun ordinary people until he himself has his own elevated principles firmly fixed within him: “remember that the man who brushes up against someone covered with soot cannot help getting some soot on himself.”

When we read this, from one of the most enlightened of pagan philosophers, it is possible to grasp the excitement in which, at the same epoch, increasing numbers were reading what Matthew Gospel had said about Jesus, who “when he saw the multitudes, was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.”

B. Clinton unhappy with Russian Israelis

The former US President Bill Clinton feels that Russian immigrants and settlers in the Middle East are the main barrier in the way of reaching a settlement in the region. He told the Global Initiative conference in New York that Israel’s Russian-speaking population is the least interested in concluding an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement. The former US President complained that 16% of Israelis are Russian-speakers, which is a shocking problem, since they make Israel a different country.

The Prime Minister told the Cabinet Sunday morning, "I hear about two states, but I don't hear two peoples." In a press conference Friday, President Obama directly told reporters that Israel should meet Abbas' demand but ignored the Israeli demand, stated in a reporter's comment that “Abbas…said the Palestinians won’t recognize Israel as a Jewish state.” The reporter continued, “The question is, if these talks fail at an early stage, will this administration disengage? Or maybe you’re ready to step up and deepen your personal involvement.”

The sun god Baal worshiped by Palestinians

And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying: 'O Baal, answer us.' But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they danced in halting wise about the altar which was made... And they cut themselves after their manner with swords and lances, till the blood gushed out upon them. 1 Ki 18:26 And they forsook all the commandments of the Lord, their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served Baal; and they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through fire, and used divination and enchantments, and gave themselves over to do that which is evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him 2 Kg 17:16
