At the Sources of Hitler's Heliocentrism
Philolaus of Croton believed that the Cosmos is unique and began its creation from the center, which was occupied by fire. Thus, ten heavenly bodies ”danced” around the central fire, a number which the Pythagoreans held as sacred. The world is uniform, it began its creation from the center, and from the center it expanded uniformly upwards and downwards, keeping equal distances from the center” (Diels and Kranz, 1996, Die Fragmente der Vorsokratiker).

http://mysteryoftheinquity.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/swastika3.jpg?w=950
Plato, according to Plutarch, studied the work of Philolaus carefully, and after careful reading, nearing the end of his days -as the story goes by- was convinced that the Earth is indeed moving around the Sun: As Theophrastus informs us, Plato, near the end of his days had regrets for his older opinion, by which he unfittingly placed the Earth at the center of the Universe [Platonicae Quaestiones H1 915, vol. XIII1, 76-78]. Not only Ovid, but many historians declared Numa Pompilius disciple of Pythagoras and the wisest emperor of Rome, because he supported this hypothesis (i.e. heliocentrism). Pliny states, that having been commanded by the oracle of Delphos to erect and dedicate a statue to the wisest of the Greeks, the Roman Senate dedicated a statue to Pythagoras and named him the most learned of the philosophers.

Heliocentrism was introduced from Syria to Europe when emperor Hadrian after destroying Jerusalem and its Temple founded in Rome the school of philosophy, oratory and literature which he called Athenaeum, and which waged the merciless psychological war against the Jews and their Holy Scriptures. Philosophy always saw “the cosmos as the result of an evolution of matter reducible to pure chance and necessity.” The Greek goddess Athena is usually depicted with swastikas on her dress. All of Roman emperors were more or less obsessed with Greek culture and philosophy. The “philosophic way of life” became identified as the superior life. The 2nd century was hailed in retrospect as “the Second Sophistic”, in honor of the first, which took place in classical Athens seven centuries earlier.
Hadrian was, from his earliest days, a Grecophile and one manner in which this became most evident is his treatment of Helios worship in Roman form – Sol, the sun. Hadrian was an enthusiastic follower of Pythagoras and his theories and this love and enthusiasm is reflected in the dome of his Pantheon.
The Pantheon of Rome was built by the Emperor Hadrian in 125 CE as a temple for all the Roman gods. It became a Christian Church in 609. The Pantheon replaced an earlier temple built by Agrippa after the Battle of Actium that was destroyed by the great fire of Rome in 80 CE, rebuilt and destroyed again when it was struck by lightning in 110 CE. Hadrian ordered that the temple be rebuilt with a new design, the current Pantheon. In the Pantheon the geometrical figures – circle,pyramid and sphere – lend substance to the theory of Pythagoras, the philosopher who considered numbers and geometrical figures as fundamental elements in the architecture of the entire universe.
According to a 4th century historian Eusebius, emperor Hadrian made Plutarch governor of Greece. Delphic inscription reveals that he possessed (like Paul) Roman citizenship; his nomen of family name, Nestrius, was no doubt adopted from his friend Lucius Mestrius Florus, a Roman consul.
Plutarch believed in in the superiority of Greek heliocentric culture and in the meritoriousness and providential character of the Roman Empire. In De facie in orbe lunae, wrote that the heliocentric system of Aristarchus was “proved” (apodeiknumi) by the Syrian astrologer Seleucus of Seleukia. Seleucus's heliocentric was put into the mouth of the juvenile Jesus when he lectured the rabbis in the Jerusalem Temple. But this lecture is reported only in the Syrian Version of the New Testament Pashitta. It was ignored in the Greek Canon of the New Testament. See, heliocentric design of the dome of Hadrian's Pantheon

Dio Cassius mentions that some people believed the name Pantheon (which is Greek for all gods) came from the statues of the many different gods which decorated the building, “but my own opinion of the name is that, because of its vaulted roof, it resembles the heavens.” The powerful image of the central source of sunlight surrounded by a series of concentric circles immediately evokes in memory the drawing in Copernicus's Revolutions: a series of concentric circles, the outermost being the “Sphere of the Fixed Stars,” with progressively smaller circles representing the orbits of Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Earth, Venus, and Mercury, with the dot of the Sun in the center. See the heliocentric architecture as depicted in the Roman Pantheon's dome
http://www.crystalinks.com/romepantheon.jpg
The large oculus, the source of light, could then symbolize the sun by opening to the heavens, tying the earthly building to the sky above. Here is the relevant passage from Copernicus's book (1, 10):
In the center of all rests the Sun. For who would place this lamp of a very beautiful temple in another or better place than this from which it can illuminate everything at the same time? As a matter of fact, not unhappily do some call it the lantern, others, the mind, and still others, the Leader of the World. Trismegistus calls it ‘visible God’; Sophocles’ Electra, ‘that which gazes upon all things.

We find also the symbols of heliocentrism in Hadrian's Villa. Declared a World Heritage Site, Villa Hadriana is a large Roman villa built by the emperor Hadrian in the early Second Century AD. The villa was a sumptuous complex of over 30 buildings, covering an area of 300 acres. This geometrical design was originally crafted in black and white marble for the floor of the guest rooms of the emperor’s villa.

Aurelius’s Spinning Fate is Anaxagoras’s Rotatory Vortex which guides a chaos of diverse seeds (spermata) into the four elements, air, water, fire, and earth, or their divine personifications. Aristophanes in his The Clouds satirized this vortex as Socrates’ substitute for Zeus. Robert Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincoln (1175-1253): 'Light, by multiplying itself outward from a center of radiation (emanation), produces the physical world.' That's how the Heliocentric World was developed ('created'). http://www.wallz.eu/photo/29195.jpg

Voltaire's comrade in arms Denis Diderot, in his La Moisade translated his now infamous slogan 'ecrasez l'infame' as follows: 'And you angry and brutish people, vile and vulgar men, slaves worthy of the yoke (Talmudism) which you bear...Go, take back your books and remove yourselves from me.' Two revolutionary deities were worshiped in Paris in those days: Zeus a.k.a. L'Etre Supreme and Athena/Minerva as 'goddess of reason. See their pictures:

"The goddess, after being embraced by the president, was mounted on a magnificent car, and conducted, amid an immense crowd, to the cathedral of Notre Dame, to take the place of the Deity. There she was elevated on the high altar, and received the adoration of all present."—This was followed, not long afterward, by the public burning of the Bible, according to Voltaire's slogan.

The war against the Bible, carried forward for so many centuries in France, culminated in the scenes of the Revolution. "France is the only nation in the world concerning which the authentic record survives, that as a nation she lifted her hand in open rebellion against the Author of the universe. Plenty of blasphemers, plenty of infidels, there have been, and still continue to be, in England, Germany, Spain, and elsewhere; but France stands apart in the world's history as the single state which, by the decree of her Legislative Assembly, pronounced that there was no God, and of which the entire population of the capital, and a vast majority elsewhere, women as well as men, danced and sang with joy in accepting the announcement."—Blackwood's Magazine, November, 1870. The
In Dante’s De Monarchia the “divine predestination” of the Roman people as the world power is derived not from interpretations of the Hebrew prophets or from the appointments of Peter but proved from the genealogical tree of Aeneas and Creusa! Ernest Renan (1823-92) stated in his famous Life (1863) that fundamentally there was nothing Jewish in Jesus. How about Mt 5:45:
'For He (YHWH) maketh his sun to rise...' (Mt. 5:45)
He did not say: 'For He (YHWH) makeht his earth to spin'
In his classic novel The Golden Ass Apuleius (2nd century) offered this hymn to Isis: “The gods above worship you; the gods below reverence you; You turn the earth … Emperor Hadrian's observatory was dedicated to Isis. he would observe the setting sun sending a shaft of goldish-red light through a certain slit in his observatory tower to illuminate a golden statue of the Egyptian Goddess Isis. Then there would be oracles at midnight. You can just see the cluster of priests and augurs, chanting and offering sacrifices amidst billowing clouds of incense.

In the Serpent-Mantra, of the Hindu perennial, solar cosmology the Brahmana declares as follows: 'the earth is the mother and queen of all that moves' (sarpat) (Cp. La donna e mobile est). The same cosmology behind Copernicus's heliocentrism was unmasked by a Polish, graphic summary of The revolutions, published in 1897:
See, Graphic Summary of Copernicus's Science secundum imaginationem published in Polish magazine Zycie in 1897

The Biblical, geocentric cosmology is reflected in the Kaba, if one recalls what Plato wrote in his Timaeus:
'To earth then, let us assign the cubic form, for earth is the most immovable of the four (elements) and the most plastic of all bodies and that which has the most stable bases must be of such a nature.' According to Aristotle's doctrine of 'natural motion and place' earth moved inward to the CENTER.
Islamic astronomers never questioned geocentricity; they had more respect for the Quran, than the Roman Catholic astronomers have for the Bible. The Quran proclaims: “He has subjected the sun and the moon (to continue going round) Each running its course) for a term appointed” – 13:2; 21:33; 31:29 The Quran in fact, fully supports and verifies the claims of the Jews for the land of Israel as truly scientific... In the Universe of Homer’s times, the mountains can be seen to rise over the surface of the great disk of the Earth, the Ocean spreading around them, while the center is dominated by Mount Olympus which rises up to heaven, supported by the pillars of Atlas.

Spinoza in his Theologico-Politico Treatise:
“So God revealed himself to the Apostles through Christ's mind, as formerly he had revealed himself to Moses through the heavenly voice. And therefore, Christ's voice, like the one Moses heard, can be called the voice of God. And in this sense we can also say that god's wisdom, that is, a Wisdom surpassing human wisdom, assumed a human nature in Christ.”God revealed himself immediately to Christ, or to his mind, and not, as he did to the Prophets, through words and images, we can understand nothing but that the Christ perceived or understood truly the things revealed;...And so Christ perceived the things truly and adequately.

A teaching that does not come out of Nordic blood and carry Nordic spirit cannot spread itself among Nordic races. Since Christianity had become a successful religion for two thousand years only among Nordic races (not among Jews) and Christian ideas were the greatest culturally creative force in human history, it was simply impossible that Christ, the driving force of Christianity could have been a Jew. (From a 1938 issue of, Der Stürmer, National Socialist Newspaper. Excerpt from the Catechism:
Jesus of Nazareth in the Galilee proves in his message and behavior a spirit that is in opposition to Judaism in every way. The struggle between him and the Jew became so bitter that it led to his deadly crucifixion. Thus Jesus cannot have been a Jew. Until this very day the Jews persecute Jesus and all who follow him with irreconcilable hatred. By contrast, Aryans in particular found in Jesus Christ the answer to their ultimate and deepest questions. He became the savior of the Germans.” (Deutsch mit Gott: ein Deutsches Glaubensbuch)
The new book, Kosher Jesus “seeks to offer to Jews and Christians the real story of Jesus, a wholly observant, Pharisaic Rabbi who fought Roman paganism and oppression and was killed for it… as Christians and Jews now come together to love and support the majestic and humane Jewish state. “it’s time that Christians rediscover the deep Jewishness and religious Jewish commitment of Jesus, while Jews reexamine a lost son who was murdered by a brutal Roman state who sought Roman culture and rule upon a tiny yet stubborn nation.” (Hasidic Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, on the publication of his new book, February 1, 2012.[2])

In the 1930s the highly respected German scientific community was entirely transformed by fascist beliefs proclaiming the genetic inferiority of the Jews and the genetic superiority of the German Master Race. German Catholic priest, Copernicus's book the Revolutions was regarded as the proof of this superiority. The Holocaust would follow. Copernicus was considered a powerful thinker (Denkgewaltige).

Veni Creator Spiritus, the Forgotten Person of the Holy Trinity
In the treatise, On the Nature of Places, which is a continuation of On Lines, Angles and Figures, Grosseteste, (bishop of Lincoln (fl. 13th century) sums up the preceding text with the remark that “the diligent investigator of natural phenomena can give the causes of all natural effects, therefore, in this way by the rules and roots and foundations given from the power of geometry” The belief that God created the universe according to a geometric plan has ancient origins. Plutarch attributed the belief to Plato, writing “Plato said God geometrizes continually” and writes Galileo's Book of Nature (Libro della Natura. The language of that book is mathematical and the characters are triangles, circles, and other geometric figures.

As for the Holy Spirit, Benedict XVI insists first of all that he is "creator." The cosmos bears his marks, as an orderly "mathematical structure" that for this reason is intelligible to the modern natural sciences.

A Few Excerpts from Holy Spirit's Book of Nature
Copernicus: Since these are matters which crave to be set before our eyes rather than spoken of, let us describe a circle ABCD, which the annual revolution of the earth's center has traced in the plane of the ecliptic. Near its center let the sun be E. I shall divide this circle into four parts by drawing the diameters AEC and BED. Let A represent the first point of the Crab, B of the Balance, C of the Goat, and D of the Ram. Now let us assume that the earth's center is originally at A. About A I shall draw the terrestrial equator FGHI. This is not in the same plane [as the ecliptic], except that the diameter GAI is the intersection of the circles, I mean, of the equator and the ecliptic. Draw also the diameter FAH perpendicular to GAI, F being the limit of the [equator's] greatest inclination to the south, and H to the north. Under the conditions thus set forth, the earth's inhabitants will see the sun near the center E undergo the winter solstice in the Goat. This occurs because the greatest northward inclination, H, is turned toward the sun. For, the inclination of the equator to the line AE, through the agency of the daily rotation, traces the winter solstice parallel to the equator at an interval subtended by EAH, the angle of the obliquity.
The proofs which I shall use in almost the entire work involve straight lines and arcs in plane and spherical triangles. Although much information about these topics is already available in Euclid's Elements, nevertheless that treatise does not contain the answer to what is the principal question here, how the sides can be obtained from the angles, and the angles from the sides.
Once more let us begin with the three outer planets. At their farthest southern limits of latitude, as shown in Ptolemy's Table [Syntaxis, XIII, 5], when they are in opposition, Saturn deviates 3° 5', Jupiter 2° 7' and Mars 7° 7'. On the other hand, in the opposite places, that is, when they are in conjunction with the sun, Saturn deviates 2° 2', Jupiter 1° 5', and Mars only 5', so that it almost grazes the ecliptic. These values could be inferred from the latitudes observed by Ptolemy around the time of the planets' disappearances and first visibilities.
Now that the above assertions have been set forth, let a plane perpendicular to the ecliptic pass through its center and intersect the ecliptic in AB. But let its intersection with the eccentric of any of the three outer planets be CD, passing through the farthest southern and northern limits. Let the ecliptic's center be E; the diameter of the earth's grand circle, FEG; the southern latitude, D; and the northern, C. Join CF, CG, DF, and DG.
Now as an example I shall use Mars because it exceeds all the other planets in latitude. Thus, when it is in opposition at point D, with the earth at G (corrected from F], angle AFG was known = 7° 7'. But 0 is given as Mars' position at apogee. From the previously established sizes of the circle, CE = 1° 22'20", with FG [a slip for FE] = 1°. In triangle CEF, the ratio of the sides GE and EF is given, as well as angle CFE. Hence we shall also have as given CEF = the greatest angle of the eccentric's inclination = 5° 11', according to the doctrine of plane triangles. However, when the earth is in the opposite place, that is, at G (should have been corrected to F], while the Planet is still at C, CGF = the angle of the apparent latitude = 4']. http://www.math.dartmouth.edu/~matc/Readers/renaissance.astro/1.1.Revol.html

NICHOLAS COPERNICUS OF TORUÑ's entitled
SIX BOOKS ON THE REVOLUTIONS OF THE HEAVENLY SPHERES
PROOF OF THE EARTH'S TRIPLE MOTION Chapter 11
In so many and such important ways, then, do the planets bear witness to the earth's mobility. I shall now give a summary of this motion, insofar as the phenomena are explained by it as a principle. As a whole, it must be admitted to be a threefold motion.
The first motion, named nuchthemeron by the Greeks, as I said [I, 4], is the rotation which is the characteristic of a day plus a night. This turns around the earth's aids from west to east, just as the universe is deemed to be carried in the opposite direction. It describes the equator, which some people call the "circle of equal days", in imitation of the designation used by the Greeks, whose term for it is isemerinos.
The second is the yearly motion of the center, which traces the ecliptic around the sun. Its direction is likewise from west to east, that is, in the order of the zodiacal signs. It travels between Venus and Mars, as I mentioned [I, 10], together with its associates. Because of it, the sun seems to move through the zodiac in a similar motion. Thus, for example, when the earth's center is passing through the Goat, the sun appears to be traversing the Crab; with the earth in the Water Bearer, the sun seems to be in the Lion, and so on, as I remarked.
The third motion in inclination is consequently required. This also is a yearly revolution, but it occurs in the reverse order of the signs, that is, in the direction opposite to that of the motion of the center. These two motions are opposite in direction and nearly equal in period. The result is that the earth's axis and equator, the largest of the parallels of latitude on it, face almost the same portion of the heavens, just as if they remained motionless. Meanwhile the sun seems to move through the obliquity of the ecliptic with the motion of the earth's center, as though this were the center of the universe. Only remember that, in relation to the sphere of the fixed stars, the distance between the sun and the earth vanishes from our sight forthwith.
The Vulgate 'firmamentum' means where the stars stand unmoved
The disciple of Pythagoras, Timaeus Locrus, demonstrated by mathematics the diurnal rotation of the earth, and Philolaus of Crotona – the annual revolution of the earth (also by mathematics!) Copernicus then added the motion of libration from the pattern of the motion devised by
Thebit of Babylon and King Alphonso of Spain. That such a motion was necessary St. Thomas Aquinas also suggested in Metaphysics from statements of Simplicius....If the Fathers are correct when they say the firmament stand unmoved, the stars stand with it. When the Master of the Sentences, St. Chrysostom, and other fathers declare, in harmony with Catholic faith that the firmament is unmoved, it is necessary that they state the same of the stars much more vigorously. Since the stars are immobile it follows that the earth is carried about as a ship*, and that stars appear to be moved just as from a ship an island or a tower on the shore seems in motion. (Thomas Campanella, Apologia pro Galileo. Frankfurt 1623)
Firmament, 3. a name given by the early astronomers to the orb of fixed stars; the word has no place in modern astronomy (Webster's Universal Dictionary. 1937)
*John Walker in his On-line article for Fourmilab wrote: “In Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity, gravity arises from space-time being curved. Today, 90 years after Einstein developed the theory’s equations, physicists are still uncovering new surprises in them. For example, in a curved space, a body can seemingly defy basic physics and “swim” through a vacuum without needing to push on anything or be pushed by anything.” (Cp. Spacewalking astronauts; Among the allegations the governor is denying are the Earth’s tilt, the whole of celestial mechanics, and that stars are not angels doing the waltz in the night sky.) No doubt this new surprise discovered in the Einstein theory should be read in the context of the Quran's verse:
"It is He who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon, all (the celestial bodies) swim along, each in its orbit with its own motion (21:33)" This verse explains why the most scientific pope ever John Paul II kissed the Koran.
LETTER OF NICHOLAS SCHÖNBERG
Nicholas Schönberg, Cardinal of Capua, to Nicholas Copernicus, Greetings.
Some years ago word reached me concerning your proficiency, of which everybody constantly spoke. At that time I began to have a very high regard for you, and also to congratulate our contemporaries among whom you enjoyed such great prestige. For I had learned that you had not merely mastered the discoveries of the ancient astronomers uncommonly well but had also formulated a new cosmology. In it you maintain that the earth moves; that the sun occupies the lowest, and thus the central, place in the universe; that the eighth heaven remain perpetually motionless and fixed; and that, together with the elements included in its sphere, the moon, situated between the heavens of Mars and Venus, revolves around the sun in the period of a year. I have also learned that you have written an exposition of this whole system of astronomy, and have computed the planetary motions and set them down in tables, to the greatest admiration of all. Therefore with the utmost earnestness I entreat you, most learned sir, unless I inconvenience you, to communicate this discovery of yours to scholars, and at the earliest possible moment to send me your writings on the sphere of the universe together with the tables and whatever else you have that is relevant to this subject. Moreover, I have instructed Theodoric of Reden to have everything copied in your quarters at my expense and dispatched to me. If you gratify my desire in this matter, you will see that you are dealing with a man who is zealous for your reputation and eager to do justice to so fine a talent. Farewell.

TO HIS HOLINESS, POPE PAUL III,
NICHOLAS COPERNICUS' PREFACE TO HIS BOOKS ON THE REVOLUTIONS
I am aware that a philosopher's ideas are not subject to the judgment of ordinary persons, because it is his endeavor to seek the truth in all things, to the extent permitted to human reason by God. I have accordingly no desire to from Your Holiness that I was impelled to consider a different system of deducing the motions of the universe's spheres for no other reason than the realization that astronomers do not agree among themselves in their investigations of this subject. For, in the first place, they are so uncertain about the motion of the sun and moon that they cannot establish and observe a constant length even for the tropical year. (One billion ordinary persons counted as Christians have no right to judge philosopher's ideas. Similarly, 300.000.000 Americans have no right to judge a banker's speculations, usually executed with miserable results for the 99% of 'we the people')
Science by Imagining Circles
Copernicus: Therefore, having obtained the opportunity from these sources, I too began to consider the mobility of the earth. And even though the idea seemed absurd, nevertheless I knew that others before me had been granted the freedom to imagine any circles ('fingere circulos') whatever for the purpose of explaining the heavenly phenomena. Hence I thought that I too would be readily permitted to ascertain whether explanations sounder than those of my predecessors could be found for the revolution of the celestial spheres on the assumption of some motion of the earth.
However, in order that the educated and uneducated alike may see that I do not run away from the judgement of anybody at all, I have preferred dedicating my studies to Your Holiness rather than to anyone else! For even in this very remote comer of the earth where I live you are considered the highest authority by virtue of the loftiness of your office and your love for all literature and astronomy too. Hence by your prestige and (Ed. Rosen left out 'infallible') judgment you can easily suppress calumnious attacks although, as the proverb has it, there is no remedy for a backbite. (How anyone else could have suppressed critical ('calumnious') attacks?)
Einstein's Scholastic Science secundum imaginationem
1905: A miraculous year - At 26, Albert wrote four papers that changed how people understand light, energy, matter, time, and space. He studied these ideas through "thought experiments" (i.e. secundum imaginationem) rather than in a laboratory like most scientists. He asked himself questions like, "What would happen if I were riding on a beam of light, and I looked in a mirror?" (We see as in a mirror enigmatically, then we shall see face to face (1 Cor 1:13) and then figured out the answers using his imagination (and some math). (Read more in Travels of Baron Muenchhausen). See Münchhausen riding on a canon ball. The command module was named Columbia after the Columbiad, the giant cannon shell "spacecraft" (coincidentally "launched" from Florida) by a giant cannon in Jules Verne's 1865 novel From the Earth to the Moon.

Prof. S. Sambursky, a friend of Einstein's, in 1975, the year when the UN approved of the resolution equating zionism with racism, introduced Copernicus to the Israel Academy of Science and Humanities as “the man who initiated this era of modern science...as the man who by the sheer force of imagination* broke the chains of sense perception, the ingenious discoverer of a scientific truth involving one of the greatest revolutions in man's view of the world” (Proceedings of the Israel Academy of Science and Humanities, vol. V, No 11). Israel was raped by the Papal scientists.
Copernicus: “Perhaps there will be babblers who claim to be judges of astronomy although completely ignorant of the subject and, badly distorting some passage of Scripture to their purpose, will dare to find fault with my undertaking and censure it. I disregard them even to the extent of despising their criticism as unfounded.”

”For He (YHWH) maketh his sun to rise...” (Jesus, the Babbler in Mt 5:45).

Galileo on Jesus: a rude and unlearned perrson!
http://reilly.nd.edu/assets/62051/original/galileo_poster.jpg
Galileo Poster showing heliocentrism sanctioned by the Papal Cross
Galileo was a rather celebrated and frequent visitor to the Jesuit Roman College. His friendship with members of the Society of Jesus started in 1587, when, at the age of 23, he met Clavius, and continued for the rest of his life. The number and contents of Galileo's letters to Clavius show that he was a good friend of Clavius. The latter was able to needle Galileo about seeing Jupiter's four moons only because Galileo drew them on the lens of his telescope. Other letters demonstrate the fact that Clavius' support for the heliocentric teaching was the preponderant reason for its acceptance among the learned. In the time of his distress it was to Jesuits like Clavius that Galileo turned. At one point the Jesuits of the Roman college having confirmed his discoveries of the motion of the earth honored Galileo with a three day celebration. (The discovery of Jupiter's moons was for Galileo the proof that those who pointed to the impossibility of lunar orbit in the heliocentric scheme were mistaken. But do these moons orbit Jupiter or rather travel with the planet? Even giving Galileo the benefit of the doubt one could argue that the Tychonian geocentrism is justified for the same reason!)
The book Epinomis, ascribed to Plato, mentions that the Word (Logos) arranged the sun, moon and stars: “...the sun...the moon...the stars...each travels through its particular orbit, completing the world, which the most divine Word (Gr. Logos) appointed (or arranged) visible.”
God 'The Babbler' is not Afraid of Papal 'infallible Judgment'.
Only God can expose heliocentrists' pretentious ignorance and He actually did that to prove the Truth of His teaching. “Owing to inequalities in the rate of both the solar and the lunar motion in longitude, the mean conjuntion (molad) may precede or be preceded by the true conjunction.” (Cecil Roth, editor, Enc. Judaica, Vol.5, p. 46, article: Calendar.)
The Jews readily admit that the current calculated calendar in use, exactly like the Gregorian Calendar (the equinox comes a few days earlier every year), is in error and needs reform. Here is a relevant passage from Enc. Judaica: “The present calendar system was expected to be replaced again by a system based on true values more akin to the earlier Jewish calendar in which New Moon and intercalations were proclaimed on the basis of both observation and
calculation.” (ib.)
When the Sages of Israel decided to adopt the Calculated Rabbinical Calendar to avoid further tragic political persecutions the Moon of that calendar became a mean or average moon moving uniformly, in the same way as the artificial moon of Hilarius (cp. Dr. Jarvik's artificial heart), which is used in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars. The beginning and duration of the months depend on the moladoth (the times of the new moon) and the time which elapses from one molad to the next. The average figure given by tradition for this interval is 29 days and 12 hours and 793 parts.
The first commandment the Jews were given as a people is the mitzvah of Rosh Chodesh, the New Moon: “And God said to Moses...in the land of Egypt ... This month is for you, the head of the months. First it is for you among the months of the year.” - Ex 12:1-2
The Dialectical Comedy Called Heliocentrism
“Every 24 hours, while the earth has turned on its axis, the moon has moved about 12 degrees eastward in its orbit. The west-to-east movement of the moon around the earth makes the moon rise an average of about 51 minutes later each day of its cycle. It means that the moon on its orbit around the sun moves forward and backward at the same time. See the image below.
Please, keep in mind, the daily moon rises and moon settings are explained adequately by the earth spinning on its axis, but the difference between the twenty four hours of solar day and night and 24 hrs and 51 minutes of the lunar cycle forces the astronomers to accept the retrograde (eastward) movement of the moon of 12 degrees. In plain words, in heliocentrism the moon moves simultaneously forward, to keep the pace with the speeding earth and backward to stay within the time limit of its apparent revolution about the earth. Pliny, the Elder in hisThe Natural History, (Volume 2. London: George Bell and Sons, 1890) mentions a mountain in ancient India called Nullo where the people had backwards turned feet and each foot had eight toes. This myth made the ancient heliocentric hypothesis credible. Similarly the myth of Yeti is supposed to make evolution credible.

No, modern science is not pure, it is not free and it is not honest, much as it gives the appearance of being so. No, it is not science that through its sensational discoveries, its bold theories and Copernican revolutions has dismissed God as a useless notion. It is the negation of God that has violated reason, distorted the observation of phenomena and finally constrained science to abandon the normality of its concepts, to go off course and to set up so many fanciful constructions outside commonsense. Why? In order to do without the invisible. It is God Who is missing in science more than science is missing in God.» (CCR no 18, July 1982, p.10) http://www.beloit.edu/nuremberg/book/images/Old%20Testament/big/The%20Universe%20Vv.jpg

I think that the Walt Whitman Monument unveiled in Moscow on Oct. 15, 2009 by Secretary of State H. Clinton attests, in the most profound way, to Russia's concern about Israel's security. The fact that Russia has chosen to commemorate Walt Whitman, practically forgotten and almost never mentioned or quoted in the U.S. mainstream media, as America's spokesman, to its population deserves to be explained in the context of the modern world with its indifference, or even hate to the Biblical heritage due to predominance of Science as a secular, surrogate religion.

A Courageous Polish Poet unmasks Heliocentrism as a Pagan Religion
Stanisław Wyspiański (January 1869 – 28 November 1907) was a Polish playwright, painter and poet. He was one of the most outstanding and multifaceted artists of his time in Europe. He successfully joined the trends of modernism with themes of the Polish folk tradition and Romantic history. Unofficially, he came to be known as the Fourth Polish Bard (in addition to the earlier Three Bards - Polish 'Wieszcze' who could be described as Polish counterparts of Biblical Prophets. In Kraków he cooperated with the Art Society and in the mid of 1898 was nominated arts manager of the weekly Życie (Life). As such he published a drawing by Czech Artist Frantishek Bilek titled: Ziemia leci we wszechswiat (The earth flies off into the Universe) which is s short graphic summary of the most important passages of The Revolutions expressing glory of the Pagan religion of Sol Invictus as expressed in Pliny's Natural History and in emperor Hadrian's heliocentric diagram in the dome of his Pantheon.

Wee may conclude that a new member will soon be added to Copernicus’s astrorum familia.

Let me retrace here K. Wojtyl's thinking on his not Christian ritual of hugging the earth on his innumerable pilgrimages. This ritual was logically connected with the sources of his philosophy in the writings of French Jesuit Teilhard de Chardin: “Christianity’s only chance to grow lay in her being born again among the Gentiles because only the Gentiles had retained their pagan taste for the earth.” “Christianity must break out of the closed world of Israel into the pagan world”. http://cruxetgladius.blogspot.com/2010/04/la-masoneria-y-teilhard-de-chardin.html
I learned quite recently that the volume of the weekly Zycie containing this drawing disappeared from the shelf of the library of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Krakow. Similarly, Copernicus's poems written during his study at the Krakow University and expressing his Judeo-Christian theological views got lost in the Vatican Library...

Two Sides of NASA's Mouth
Apollo is also the cosmocrator, the centre around whom the solar system revolves. In this role he is often portrayed in ancient art holding or wearing the zodiac wheel, for the zodiac is a representation of the ecliptic - the apparent path of the Sun around the earth - in imaginal form, reflecting a cycle of development which is embodied in the seasons and expressed also in the multi-levelled cycles of an individual life. Apollo and the astrology which we have inherited from the Greeks are deeply linked, and both reflect the same essential perception of an orderly cosmos. The orderly motion of the cosmos depends on Apollo as bearer of the purpose and intelligence of the divine light of the Sun, and it is his reasoning principle that keeps the planets in their courses. So the name of the NASA Lunar mission testified to the truth of heliocentrism. But the mathematical facts of this mission speak differently.
Apollo 11 Facts
Launch: July 16, 1969, Landed on Moon July 20, 1969
Returned to earth : July 24, 1969, 16:50:35 UT (12:50:35 p.m. EDT)
Mission Duration: 1195 hr. 18 min. 35 sec.
http://airandspace.si.edu/collections/imagery/apollo/as11/a11facts.htm
02:50:37 When the 318-second burn ends the crew is traveling faster than the man has ever flown before – 35,532 feet or 24,226 miles per hour.
55:38:40 At about 38,900 miles from its goal, the spacecraft has passed into the moon's sphere of influence – that is the moon now exerts stronger pull than the earth, and Apollo begins accelerating again 3,261 feet per second or 2,223 miles an hour. Capsule communicator Jerry Carr notifies the crew in a jocular exchange.
The Earth's and the Moon's speed on their orbits around the sun is 19 miles/sec or close 70.000 miles/hr. If you multiply this number by 195 hr which was the Mission Duration you'll find out that the earth moved away from the Lunch position by a distance of about 11.000.000 miles. So the Math of the Apollo 11 facts is geometrical and this fact sufficiently explains Senator Brownback's blog for his presidential campaign entitled Helioecentrism is an Atheist Doctrine.

The celestial marriage described by M. Capella in his Scholastic encyclopedia De nuptiis Philologiae et Mercuri 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.

Islam in Africa: The Invisible Genocide of Christians
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/11609#.T6g4A1Kh6fU
The UN does nothing, the world is silent, and most Western citizens, who know little about Africa, do not know it is happening. The goal is creating a big African-Islamic continent. Christians must be killed or expelled.
From Giulio Meotti
Fom Nigeria to Sudan, it is raging, the “Odium Fidei”, the war of religion.
A genocide epitomized not by the images of Sydney Pollack’s “Out of Africa”, which presents a continent that is rich and attractive, but by the Nigerian village of Dogo Nahawa, where Islamists, armed with machetes, killed 300 Christians, mostly women and children.
The Nigerian Nobel Prize Laureate for Literature, Wole Soyinka, called them “the butchers of Nigeria”.
It’s an invisible genocide where sadistic killers slaughter and execute thousands of Christians.
According to Philip Jenkins, a leading expert on Christianity, in Nigeria, what is at stake is the balance between Islam and Christianity. It’s the largest Muslim country of Africa, a global leader in oil production and a country where the future of religious cohexistence is precarious, since the country is divided in a half between Islam and Christianity.
The Islamic conquest of Africa began in the seventh century, when the Umayyads spread the faith in the Mediterranean lands which had long been Byzantine. But in deeper Africa, the penetration was difficult and for centuries Islam was unable to climb over the Horn of Africa.
Gambia, Senegal and Mauritania are already 90 percent Islamized.
Now, with modern methods of warfare, we are witnessing a wave of Islamization with unforeseeable, tragic consequences. The "Islamic project" is trying to build a unique ‘adan' (Islamic call for prayer) from the Libyan minarets to the Juma Mosque in Durban, South Africa.
Gambia, Senegal and Mauritania are already 90 percent Islamized, the rate decreases as one moves downward, reaching nine per cent in South Africa and almost none in the rest of the southern region - so far.
The goal is creating a big African-Islamic continent. Christians must be killed or expelled.
On January 3, the Islamic groups issued an ultimatum to the Christian community in Nigeria: “You have three days to leave, or you’ll die”.
If on Darfur there was some mobilization in favor of the victims, who cared about the campaigns of extermination sustained by the Christians in Sudan and Nigeria?
The West doesn’t hear the cry of these pariahs, trying to atone for its colonial past by not intervening.
In South Kordofan, Sudan, Christians are still subjected to bombardment, targeted killings, the kidnapping of children, forced conversions.
Over 13,750 Christians have been killed by Muslims in northern Nigeria since the introduction of Sharia laws in 2001.
If the Islamists are dreaming of an Arab caliphate from the Atlantic to the Suez Canal, south of Sahara, Islam is conquering cities and entire populations. It’s collapsing the historical dividing line along the sixteenth parallel, which divided the land of the Cross from the land of the Koran.
All that remains of the “dar al harb”, land of war, must become “Dar al Islam”, land of Islam.
According to the NGO Open Doors, in the northern states that have adopted Sharia law, five million Christians are under severe repression. Islam has planted the idea that the Muslim religion is “original in Nigeria” and that the spread of Christianity is “a threat”, “an enemy to destroy”.
The troubles in Nigeria began back with the Kano riots of 1980, when a Muslim leader named Marwa Muhamadu said to the young people that whoever wore a cross or expensive clothes was an “infidel”.
The election of Miss World in Abuja in 2002 lit the fire of jihad in a haystack, leaving 200 dead on the ground and 10.000 Christians fleeing.
From the Gulf of Guinea to the Red Sea, via northern Nigeria, Sudan and Somalia, Sharia has become the only law in many regions. Today Islam is the first religion in a dozen of African countries.
A year ago, the Nigerian police stopped a shipment of arms directed to the Hisba, the movement that seeks to impose Islamic law in northern Nigeria, and to the faction of Boko Haram.
The cargo came from Tehran, part of the “Africa Plan” launched by the mullahs to expand Iran’s influence in the continent by supporting Islamic governments and groups. These terror groups use guns, gasoline bombs and machetes, they shout “Allahu akbar” (“God is great”) while launching attacks on citizens.
They have so far focused on killing Christian clerics, politicians, students, policemen, and soldiers, as well as Muslim clerics who condemn their mayhem. 500 Christians have been killed since last December. 300 churches have been demolished.
The case of the Anglican Rev. Seth Saleh, in Zamfara, is emblematic. In 2003, the director of the local government knocked on his door and handed him a letter. “The governor - said the letter - informs you that your church will be demolished before his arrival in town tomorrow”.
In Romain Gary’s novel “The Roots of Heaven”, which won the Goncourt Prize in 1956, a Muslim character says: “One day black Africa will be on our side, our religion is younger and has the power of the desert, it will eventually triumph. An Islamized Africa will be an irresistible force for the world”.
A prophecy which seems about to become true. Will the world stand to prevent another Rwanda?

Israel's Peace Disease
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/11638#.T610FVKh6fU
How the peace negotiations are killing Israel. The peace disease infects its victims with self-hatred as the only way to keep the pathogen alive.
From Daniel Greenfield
For the last twenty years Israel has been swept into an obsession with few parallels except to the Dutch Tulip economy. Except instead of tulips, its commodity of choice is an even more insubstantial thing, the faint promise of peace.
Peace fever is the disease consuming Israel as surely as the Black Death took Europe. If the Dutch traded fortunes for flowers, the Israelis have traded away most of their territory for worthless pieces of paper that last about as long as tulips do. Mostly, like Madoff's investments, after they wither and die it turns out that they were never worth anything to begin with.
Take the Camp David Accords, greeted with romantic fervor in Jerusalem and European capitals, but resented and despised by Egyptians because they were a reminder of how their army had failed to destroy Israel. It was a worthless accord that gave Egypt a vast amount of territory in exchange for maintaining a status quo that it had no choice but to maintain after losing multiple wars.
With the fall of Mubarak, it was revealed that the Accords were never more than moonbeams and fairy dust. A puff of Arab Spring and they were gone.
Camp David was an illusion, but the Oslo Accords are a delusion. A tulip economy in which Israel doles out fortunes in money, land and power in exchange for the promise of peace and an end to the violence... tomorrow, always tomorrow. The most devastating impact of the delusion isn't on the cemeteries where children lie side by side with soldiers, on the broken homes and synagogues of Gaza, or on the tightening circle of terror around Jerusalem.
As with all delusions, its most devastating impact is on the mind.
The only way to sustain the peace delusion is by blaming Israel for the failure of the peace process. Blaming the terrorists opens up a hopeless catalog of violence, corruption, incitement and madness. There is no way to catalog all that and still honestly go on believing that peace is possible.
The only way to keep the lie of peace alive is by blaming Israel.
The peace disease infects its victims with self-hatred as the only way to keep the pathogen alive. And the disease has no end. There was a time when Arafat was the guest of honor among peaceniks; now it's Hamas.
Peter Beinart is busy explaining that Hamas really isn't that bad once you get to know them. And why not? It's what the peace camp did with Arafat and that worked out great. Why not do it with Hamas?
The internal logic of the disease is inescapably consistent. We had to believe in Arafat in order to believe in peace. Now that our peace partners have expressed a preference for Hamas over Fatah, we have to believe in Hamas, in order to believe in peace. To believe in peace we have to believe in a peace partner to have peace with. We have to believe that there is hope for peace with every terrorist, that the lack of peace is our fault-- not theirs.
Sick? Demented? Twisted? All of the above, but also completely logical. If you are going to be delusional, then it is best to be consistently delusional. Why be neurotic, when you can be flat out insane? Why settle for a second rate phobia when you can go for full on schizophrenia? Hope and faith often dance close to the level of madness.
The minimal condition of any peace process is the willingness of the other side to stop fighting. If this condition is not met, then nothing else matters.
Sustaining misdirected hope in the face of reality requires a great deal of faith or delusion.
Delusional does not mean stupid. Highly intelligent people are more likely to be deluded because they have a greater capacity for rationalizing the delusion. A stupid person would assume that being shot at marks the end of peace negotiations. It takes a highly intelligent person to rationalize the shots as not an attack on him, but on the negotiations, which are the only way to stop the cycle of violence.
Some financial observers have hypothesized that the problem with our economy is that it is run by highly intelligent people. They may have a point. Stupid people can lose money, but they can't create imaginary money. And they are always waiting for the police to show up at their door with a warrant.
Highly intelligent people though can create entire tiers of imaginary value and trade them back and forth in a glorious tulip economy, which everyone believes in, until unaccountably the whole thing evaporates because it was never there.
Israel's peace economy is the work of highly intelligent people trading real world items for an imaginary currency. Their burning conviction is that the only reason the imaginary currency has not realized its full value is because they have greedily not given up enough real world items to make the imaginary currency appreciate in value.
It's not a mental illness unique to Israel or to Jews. It is how cons work. Once you've been conned, you either wise up and move on, or you protect your sunk cost, your self-esteem and your credibility by throwing in more good money after bad. The only way to keep justifying this destructive behavior is by believing that the con artists are legitimate and that you just need to put in more money to get back ten times what you put in.
In a time of war, modern people base their goodness on wanting peace, because doing so allows them to believe that they are good people, not bloodthirsty monsters cavorting on a throne of skulls. And to go on believing that, they cannot refuse any offer of peace; otherwise, they would be choosing war over peace. Then they would be bloodthirsty monsters resting their feet on a giant pile of corpses.
If a war is worth fighting, then it is worth fighting until the conditions that make that war necessary no longer exist. The minimal condition of any war is the willingness of the other side to stop fighting. If this condition is not met, then nothing else matters. It is not a matter of opinion at that stage, but a matter of fact, that the war will go on. It will go on regardless of what you do because you are not in control of the conflict.
To believe that you will have something because it is an absolute good and that to strive for it is so moral that the failure to do so is immoral regardless of its feasibility, is magical thinking.
And once you base your identity on a commitment to an absolute good that cannot be achieved except through your own destruction, then you have committed suicide.
That is Israel's peace disease in a nutshell. It is not unique to Israel. It can be found in America and Europe. It can be found anywhere modern enlightened people fail to come to grip with the necessity of force in the defense of their peoples and nations, and escape instead into illusion and delusion.
It is a fatal disease. It does not kill quickly or cleanly, but with an agonizing fevered death filled with hallucinations, peace doves circling the ceiling, amputation after amputation, bloody limbs piled on the altar of peace that burns and burns until everything is consumed and only the ashes remain.

Part II: Israeli Sovereignty Over Judea and Samaria
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/11412
Worth a careful read. Has the UN's Partition Plan any remaining significance for either the Arabs or the Jews?
From Wallace Edward Brand, JD
Balfour resigned as foreign secretary following the Paris Conference in 1919, but continued in the Cabinet as lord president of the council.
In a memorandum addressed to new Foreign Secretary Lord Curzon, he stated that the Balfour Declaration contradicted the letters of the covenant (referring to the League Covenant) the Anglo-French Declaration, and the instructions to the King-Crane Commission.
All of the other engagements contained pledges that the Arab or Muslim populations could establish national governments of their own choosing according to the principle of self-determination. Balfour explained: “… in Palestine we do not propose to even go through the form of consulting the wishes of the present (majority) inhabitants of the country though the American [King-Crane] Commission is going through the form of asking what they are.
Balfour stated explicitly to Curzon:
"The Four Great Powers [Britain, France, Italy and the United States] are committed to Zionism. And Zionism, be it right or wrong, good or bad, is rooted in age-long traditions, in present needs, and future hopes, of far profounder import than the desires and prejudices of the 700,000 Arabs who now inhabit that ancient land. In my opinion that is right." * * * * *
Balfour continued:
"I do not think that Zionism will hurt the Arabs, but they will never say they want it. Whatever be the future of Palestine it is not now an ‘independent nation’, nor is it yet on the way to become one. Whatever deference should be paid to the views of those living there, the Powers in their selection of a mandatory do not propose, as I understand the matter, to consult them.". . ."If Zionism is to influence the Jewish problem throughout the world, Palestine must be made available for the largest number of Jewish immigrants"
While the rights granted under the Trust restricted the Jews, when they did exercise sovereignty, from doing anything that would impair the civil or religious rights of the Arabs it was silent as to the political rights for the Arabs. The Mandate Law also became the domestic law of the UK and the US in 1924 as Treaty Law when, under a new American Administration, the Mandate became the subject of the Anglo American Convention of 1924.[24]
Perfidious Albion did not maintain the 1920 form of its proposed trust for very long. Circumstances changed, British interests changed, and the British Government also changed. President Wilson's opposition had delayed the issuance of the mandate as proposed in the initial draft submitted to the WWI Allies at San Remo. In the meantime, England had installed Feisal as the King of Syria.[25] After the Battle of Maysalun, in which the French Armed Forces defeated the Syrian Army the French deposed Feisal.[25] Abdullah, Feisal's brother, was furious. He marched his troops from their home in the Hejaz (in the Arabian Peninsula) to Eastern Palestine and made ready to attack the French in Syria.
Churchill did not want war between the Arabs and the French. In the secret Sykes-Picot Agreement, Syria was in the French sphere of influence. Churchill gave Feisal the Kingdom of Iraq as a consolation prize[26] and gave Abdullah and his Hashemite tribe from the Arabian Peninsula Eastern Palestine in violation of the British Mandate.[27] The Mandate at San Remo had prohibited the Mandatory from ceding any land to a foreign nation. In the 1922 change, with a new Article 25, it formally approved delaying organized settlement by the Jews East of the Jordan River and informally gave TransJordan to Abdullah and his Hashemite Tribe from the Hejaz.
Article 25 preserved the prohibition of the Mandatory Power from discriminating among races or religions.[28] The land East of the Jordan River became TransJordan and then Jordan and the Mandatory, despite the specific terms of the mandate, prohibited Jews, but not other ethnic groups, from settling there.
The British urging the League to adopt Article 25 was a breach of its fiduciary relationship as trustee with its beneficiary and as guardian, with its ward.[29] as were the policies in their White Papers of 1922, 1930 and the vicious White Paper of 1939 under the Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, of Munich fame, that blocked many Jews from fleeing from the Nazi Holocaust. A vicious enforcement of the blockade ensued and directly disobeyed the Mandate's requirement to facilitate Jewish immigration.
During WWI the Hussein/McMahon correspondence with the Arabs in the Arabian Peninsula led to a British offer to all Arabs in the Caliphate of self-government free from Turkish rule if they helped the British in the war.[30]
The Arabs local to Palestine, unlike the Arabs from the Arabian Peninsula that had been led by Lawrence declined the British offer of political self determination if they were to help the Allies, and preferred to fight for the Ottoman Turks who ruled from Constantinople. According to Winston Churchill, , "The Palestinian Arabs, of course, were for the most part fighting against us, ,,," [31]
"However the Jews assembled several battalions of Jewish soldiers that fought alongside the British in Palestine in WWI.[32]
At that point the Jews had, de facto, lost 78% of their Mandated beneficial right to sovereignty in Palestine, the land TransJordan or East of the Jordan River. Only 22% of the Mandate was left. After WWII, Article 80 of the UN Charter[33] expressly preserved the rights that had been granted by the League of Nations prior to its demise, i.e. the Jewish national rights, so the UN could not grant any of it to the Arabs. As I have noted, the Mandate itself prohibited the trustee from ceding any land in Palestine to a foreign Power.
Known as “the Palestine clause,” Article 80 was drafted by Jewish legal representatives including the liberal Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Peter Bergson (Hillel Kook) from the right-wing Irgun, and prominent Revisionist Ben-Zion Netanyahu (father of Bibi). It preserved the right of the Jewish people to “close settlement” throughout their remaining portion of Palestine west of the Jordan River.
In 1947 nevertheless, the UN did not “grant” but its General Assembly “recommended” (not a grant-- that would be inconsistent with the previous grant) a partition that offered a part of the area West of the Jordan (a part of the 22% remaining) to the Jews, in effect, releasing that part of the trust res (the political rights) to the Jews, and the remainder to the local Arabs, although the latter was unauthorized by the Mandate. In the UNSCOP hearings, the Arabs had threatened violence if the Jews were to have a state in any part of the Middle East. It is evident that the UN, by submitting to the Arabs extortion -- threats of violence -- and recommending still further partition of the remainder, hoped to avoid the violence.
In the San Remo Resolution, the Allies agreed
"To accept the terms of the Mandates Article as given below with reference to Palestine, on the understanding that there was inserted a process-verbal an undertaking by the Mandatory Power that this would not involve the surrender of the rights hitherto enjoyed by the non-Jewish communities in Palestine;"[34]
What were those rights? The Mandate preserved the civil and religious rights of the local Arabs but did not create any political rights for them. The civil rights included individual political or electoral rights but not the collective political right of self-determination. It did not and could not "preserve" any collective political rights or "national rights" in Palestine for local Arabs in Palestine as they had never in history had any. It follows, therefore, as to political rights, the local Arabs were no worse off than they were under the Ottoman rule from 1520 to 1920, the British suzerainty from 1920 to 1948, or the Jordanian rule from 1948 to 1967.
But the Arabs didn't want the Jews to have any land with political rights for religious reasons, because it violated Islam to have any inroads on the Dar-al-Islam.[35] They engaged in jihad against the Jews and the Arab Higher Committee brought in the Armies of the surrounding Arab and Muslims States.
What was the effect of the abandonment of the trust by the trustee in 1948? Howard Grief provides a more legally precise reason,[36] but a simple way to look at it was that when the trustee quit his obligation, the only equitable thing to do was to give the rights to the beneficiary of the trust or the ward of the guardian.
Going back to 1922, by 1922 the British Government's interests had changed and the government had changed. In addition to its problems with the deposing of King Feisal, it was defending itself from charges that it had conferred political rights to the same land to the French, the Arabs and the Jews in three different agreements, the Sykes-Picot agreement, the McMahon-Hussein correspondence, and the Lord Balfour Declaration. So in 1922, Churchill, in a White Paper, tried wiggle out of England's obligation to the Jews by hinting broadly that a "national home" was not necessarily a state. However in private, many British officials agreed with the interpretation of the Zionists that a state would be established when a Jewish majority was achieved.[37]
In the British cabinet discussion during final consideration of the language of the Balfour Declaration, in responding to the opposition of Lord Curzon, who viewed the language as giving rise to the presumption that Great Britain favored a Jewish State, Lord Balfour stated: "As to the meaning of the words 'national home', to which the Zionists attach so much importance, he understood it to mean some form of British, American, or other protectorate, under which full facilities would be given to the Jews to work out their own salvation and to build up, by means of education, agriculture, and industry, a real center of national culture and focus of national life. It did not necessarily involve the early establishment of an independent Jewish State, which was a matter for gradual development in accordance with the ordinary laws of political evolution." The key word here was 'early'; otherwise, the statement makes it quite clear that Balfour envisaged the eventual emergence of an independent Jewish state. Doubtless he had in mind a period somewhat longer than a mere thirty years; but the same could also be said of Chaim Weizmann."[38]
According to Lloyd George, one of Churchill's contemporaries, for example, the meaning was quite clear:
"There has been a good deal of discussion as to the meaning of the words "Jewish National Home" and whether it involved the setting up of a Jewish National State in Palestine. I have already quoted the words actually used by Mr. Balfour when he submitted the declaration to the Cabinet for its approval. They were not challenged at the time by any member present, and there could be no doubt as to what the Cabinet then had in their minds. It was not their idea that a Jewish State should be set up immediately by the Peace Treaty without reference to the wishes of the majority of the inhabitants.
On the other hand, it was contemplated that when the time arrived for according representative institutions to Palestine, if the Jews had meanwhile responded to the opportunity afforded them by the idea of a National Home and had become a definite majority of the inhabitants, then Palestine would thus become a Jewish Commonwealth. The notion that Jewish immigration would have to be artificially restricted in order to ensure that the Jews should be a permanent minority never entered into the heads of anyone engaged in framing the policy. That would have been regarded as unjust and as a fraud on the people to whom we were appealing."[39]
If there is any further doubt in the matter, Balfour himself told a Jewish gathering on February 7,1918: "My personal hope is that the Jews will make good in Palestine and eventually found a Jewish state. It is up to them now; we have given them their great opportunity." [40]
Following an opinion of the renowned international lawyer Julius Stone that focused on the settlement question,[41] President Reagan and succeeding Presidents through George W. Bush maintained a US view that the Jewish Settlements in the West Bank were legal but as a policy matter should be discouraged because of their tendency to discourage the Peace Process. President Obama while continuing the position on policy has not specifically stated his view on legality of the settlements but has referred to them as “illegitimate”..
As to Jerusalem, East Jerusalem fell in 1948 [42] to an attack of the Arab Legion supplied and trained by the British and led by Sir John Bagot Glubb frequently referred to as "Glubb pasha". The Arab Legion later became the Jordanian Army.
The Jordanians demolished 58 synagogues and their contents, uprooted the tombstones of Jewish cemeteries, and used them for paving or building latrines, and built a latrine against the Western Wall of the Temple Mount, the single most holy site for Jews.[43] They expelled all the Jewish inhabitants of East Jerusalem and it became, as Adolph Hitler liked to say, judenrein or cleansed of Jews. In 1967 in the Six Day War, Israel drove the Jordanians east to the Jordan River and became in control of East Jerusalem.[44] They did not use their conquest to deprive the Moslems access to their holy sites in East Jerusalem as the Jordanians had done to the Jews and Christians.
Has the UN's Partition Plan any remaining significance for either the Arabs or the Jews?
No. According to acclaimed International Lawyer Julius Stone, ""The State of Israel is … not legally derived from the partition plan, but [in addition to the grants referred to above] rests (as do most other states in the world) on A. assertion of independence by its people and government, B. on the vindication of that independence by arms against assault by other states, and C. on the establishment of orderly government within territory under its stable control." The Partition plan had assigned the Jerusalem Metropolitan Area to the UN's International Control, at least temporarily for a period of 10 years. However in the war of 1948, the UN did nothing to vindicate that assignment by force of arms against the assault of the surrounding Arab states. Therefore nothing remains of that part of the Partition Plan either. [45]
In fact you read in the news and hear on TV a lot about Jewish settlements outside of Jerusalem and in East Jerusalem, but have you ever seen or heard a reference to new Arab settlements there? Since 1950 more than twice as many new settlements have been built by Arabs in the West Bank as have been built by Jews,[46] totally ignored by the press. They fill them with Lebanese, Iraqis, Jordanians and Egyptians, and, mirabile dictu, they are Palestinians. An Israeli Professor in Haifa named Steven Plaut suggests, tongue in cheek, that the Arabs must have changed the name of the area from Judea and Samaria to the "West Bank" so they wouldn't look silly in claiming that the Jews were illegally settling in eponymous Judea.
In June,1967, in the Six Day War , Israel recaptured Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem.[47] In 1994 Israel agreed that in return for a quitclaim of Jordan, to CisJordan, or the land of Palestine west of the Jordan River, it would release its claim to TransJordan, the land East of the Jordan to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. [48]
My understanding from many authors, is that the Arab claims for the Arab population in Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem are overstated. Annexing the so called West Bank would not currently jeopardize a Jewish democracy in Israel. Nor would it in the long run as correct population growth shows Jewish population increase in the West Bank greater than that of the Arabs.[49]
I would only offer citizenship to those, Muslim, Jewish or Christian, who would take a loyalty oath to Israel. Others could remain with the status of permanent residents.
What about Gaza? It it were to keep shooting missiles at Israel, that would be a casus belli and Israel should take it over. Also, when it ceded its sovereignty over Gaza to the Arabs living there, the cession was under a tacit agreement that the Arabs would quit their attacks on Israel. They haven't. [50] A material breach of that obligation also justifies a takeover. Although the people in Gaza were ceded Israel’s political or national rights to the Gaza Strip, they never met the requirements for sovereignty
The first of these is: are the Arabs local to Palestine a “people”? No, as noted above they are an invented people. Another requirement of a separate nation-state is unified control. When armed truces were broken by the Gazans, Hamas, that claims control, always blames the problem on other terrorist organizations. Since Israel’s takeover would not be taking land of another sovereign, the land would not be occupied, but disputed with Israel having the far better claim.[51] I would suggest that until further Jewish population increase over that of the non-Jewish population justifies annexation of Gaza, that the Gazans be authorized Home Rule, but no vote in Israel’s policies.
Israel should retain the right to eliminate candidates or parties that are terrorists. That should meet the requirements of the French "procès verbal" as the Arabs in Gaza never had the right to vote on the policies of the Ottoman Empire.
In sum, it appears that there are five separate views that justify Israeli sovereignty over CisJordan. These are
1. The San Remo Resolution of 1920 which is justification under International Law,
2. The Anglo-American Convention of 1924 makes the Balfour Policy Treaty law and therefore the Domestic Law of the US and the UK,
3. Facts occurring after 1948, including Jordan’s aggressive war in invading a land in which the Jews had been awarded political rights, and the defensive war by the Jews retaking it resulted in acclaimed International Lawyers holding that the West Bank was disputed, not occupied, and the Jews had the better claim to it.
In the Partition of 1947, the UN General Assembly recommended an award of part to the Arabs, that was not a grant because it had already been granted to the Jews. The Jews assented, but the Arabs declined. The Jews still had their rights under San Remo. The Arabs had no rights, certainly not the inalienable rights continuously claimed by Arafat and Abbas.
4. In 1948 Israel declared independence, established unified control over its territory and defended it by blood and treasure. That is historically the way sovereignty arises.
5. Under canon law the Jews had exclusive rights granted by G-d as provided in the Old Testament.
These San Remo rights make possible a one state solution to the current Arab Israeli conflict in Palestine. Those in the Diaspora are also intended as the beneficiaries of the San Remo grant. However in writing this from the relative safety of suburban Washington, DC, it is not our intention to urge this course on the heroic Israelis who currently face an added existential threat from Iran. Note we say relative safety.
With Iran’s hurrying development of nuclear bombs and intercontinental ballistic missiles, no one is safe. This is only to confirm the necessity and legality of a "one Jewish state solution" that others, before us, have already suggested. It is the Israelis who must choose.

[41] “Israel and Palestine: An Assault on the Law of Nations” which dealt with the legal aspects of the Arab-Israeli conflict. In it, Stone set forth the central principles of international law upon which Israel’s right to settle the West Bank is based and discussed the inapplicability of Article 49(6) of the Fourth Geneva Convention to the case of Israeli settlement.
Stone drew upon the writings of Professor Stephen Schwebel, former judge on the Hague’s International Court of Justice (1981-2000), who distinguished between territory acquired in an "aggressive conquest" (such as Japanese conquests during the 1930s and Nazi conquests during World War II) and territory taken in a war of self-defense (for example, Israel’s capture of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip in 1967 war). He also distinguished between the taking of territory that is legally held by another nation (such as the Japanese occupation of Chinese territory and the Nazi Germany occupation of France, Holland, Belgium and other European lands) as opposed to the taking of territory illegally held. The latter applies to the West Bank and Gaza, which were not considered the legal territories of any High Contracting Party when Israel won control of them; their occupation after 1948 by Jordan and Egypt was illegal and neither country ever had lawful or recognized sovereignty. The last legal sovereignty over the territories was that of the League of Nations Palestine Mandate which encouraged Jewish settlement of the land.

What Harvard Didn't Want to Hear: Part I
Arutz Sheva comes to the aid of free speech. A succinct exposition of facts and law in support of Israel's lawful exercise of sovereignty over East Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria that Harvard and UCLA don't want to hear.
From Wallace Edward Brand, JD
Background (part of letter written by the author, a Harvard and UCLA alumnus, to UCLA):
On March 3,4 there was a conference held at Harvard on a one state solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict. In effect it was a "one Arab majority state" solution. The panel consisted of Arab academics and Israel post modern revisionist who are apologists for terrorism. The other side or sides were completely missing. Harvard would not accept our request to be part of a panel or make a presentation.
A similar conference was held or is soon to be held at UCLA. A second conference is likely at Harvard sponsored by Professor Alan Dershowitz of the Harvard Law School on a "two state solution" to the Arab Israeli conflict.
There are in fact three sides. That last would be "a one lawful state West of the Jordan River" solution. These three sides are akin to a three legged stool. When only one or two sides is presented it makes for a strong presentation but not a very balanced one.
I have been trying to find out how this third side could be presented at UCLA and I have been told by all my contacts at UCLA that it is impossible. They tell me that UCLA is just too politically correct. So I am making a last effort. I have published information on the three sides in an on-line blog entitled "Middle East and Terrorism" and a conservative Israeli newspaper called "Arutz Sheva", and I hope, at the very least, that you will make the links available to students at UCLA so they have access to a balanced presentation to a solution for the Arab Israeli conflict.
At least three nation-states, the UK, the US and Canada allow evidence of legislative purpose to be admitted to show the meaning of a statute that is ambiguous.
What follows is a necessary minimum of that evidence to show the purpose of the Balfour Declaration that was adopted by the WWI Allies at San Remo that established the International Law provided by that Agreement and the British Mandate for Palestine.
It is widely accepted, but not correct, that the West Bank belongs to the local Arabs in Palestine who in 1964, at the suggestion of the Soviet dezinformatsia, decided to call themselves "Palestinians.” [1]
These "invented people" [2] also pretend they had long had a passion for self government. [3] The full extent of Israel’s claim of sovereignty has not recently been stated. At most, it is said by the Israeli government that no one has sovereignty over the West Bank, but that Israel has the better claim. [4]
A better view is that the Jews obtained a beneficial interest in sovereignty over all of Palestine in the 1922 enactment of the British Mandate for Palestine, that entrusted exclusive political or national rights in Palestine to Britain in trust for the benefit of the Jews that later matured into a legal interest on the abandonment of the trusteeship by Britain and the attainment of the Jews of a majority population.
The trusts or guardianships were to be called "mandates”.
It was in 1919 that Jan Smuts submitted a memorandum to the League, which later became Article 22. The Council of Ten drafted for the League of Nations as Part I of the Treaty of Versailles [5], an Article 22 providing for trusts and guardianships for the areas in The Middle East and North Africa captured by the WWI Allies from the Ottoman Empire. This concept was later applied to other areas. Article 22's first two paragraphs provided a reasonably clear showing that a mandate was based on the longstanding British legal concepts of trusts and guardianships.
In 1917, in advance of the end of WWI, the British had drafted and published a policy for the disposition of the captured Ottoman lands in Palestine. [6] Britain and France were at that time following the “secret’ Sykes-Picot Agreement in their disposition of Ottoman Lands. But in recognition of the historic association of the Jews with Palestine, the Balfour Declaration, a British Policy approved it its Cabinet, provided for exclusive political or national rights in Palestine to be granted to the Jews.
The 1920 agreement of the WWI Allies at San Remo, on the terms of the Mandate turned what had been only a British Policy approved by the Cabinet, into International Law. Under Article 22 of the League of Nations Covenant, the rights were to be provided in trust, [7].
We know this because the Balfour policy had been attacked as antidemocratic, as giving sovereignty to the Jewish people who constituted only 60,000 of the total population of 600,000 in Palestine as of 1917.
In Jerusalem, the Jews had had a plurality of the population since 1845 and a majority since 1863, but in all of Palestine, in 1917 they constituted only 10% of the population. Even US President Woodrow Wilson was advancing that argument that award of sovereignty to a minority population was inconsistent with his 14 points that provided, among other things, for majority control.
To counter this argument, which they conceded was a good one, Arnold Toynbee and James Namier in the British Foreign Office, in a memorandum of September 19, 1917 [8] said the problem of control by a minority was "imaginary" because they predicted that the grant would be placed in trust and would not vest sovereignty in the Jews until the Jews fit to govern it on modern European state.
In my view these included attainment of a majority population, defined boundaries, unified control over all within the boundaries, etc.. Providing a National Home for Jews in Palestine with the British running the government until the Jews could attain a majority status based on favored immigration from the Jews in the Diaspora would be a temporary measure and not antidemocratic. [9]
The statement of the purpose of the British Mandate for Palestine in its Preamble and Article 2 is entirely consistent with this view although not express. [10]
What was the National Home, a reconstituted state? No, it was a place for the Jewish people to feel at home while the immigration was going on that would ultimately give the Jews a majority of the population and a reconstituted state. So that the staff of the British Mandatory Power, will know how to do that: Article 4 provides for the Zionist Organization to advise the mandate government staff. Part of Article 6 requires the staff of the Mandatory Power for The Administration of Palestine, to facilitate immigration of Jews. The Mandate does NOT provide that immigration of any other peoples is to be facilitated. (emphasis added) Article 5 provides that none of the land is to be ceded to a foreign power.
Who were the beneficiaries of the trust? Only the Jews, both those already in Palestine and many more scattered worldwide in the Diaspora since the time of the Roman Empire conquest of Palestine.
Howard Grief, who has provided the seminal work on the legal foundations of Israel under International Law, says one can conclude this because they are the only people mentioned to be dealt with specially. [11]The non-Jews are referred to only to ensure their civil and religious rights are to be protected.
Because Article 22 of the League Covenant defined the relationship of Britain and the Jews as trustee and guardian with Jews in effect being beneficiaries and ward the Mandate essentially provided for a Jewish National Home that would be supervised by the British until its ward was capable of exercising sovereignty, including helping it attain a majority of population it needed to do that. It was charged with facilitating such immigration.
All this purpose was not expressed very clearly in the Mandate, likely to avoid stirring up the Arabs in time of war that might bleed off troops to maintain stability in Palestine. But the Arabs did understand that this was the case.
After the war, the Arabs were told by Winston Churchill that the request for self government by the inhabitants of Palestine would be denied until such time as the Jews had attained a majority of the population. They made that understanding clear in their arguments against Partition in the UNSCOP hearings in 1947. [12]
The Arabs argued in 1947 "It was clear from the beginning that if Palestine were to be turned into a Jewish national home, this would involve the indefinite denial of self-government until such time as the Jews were strong enough to take over the government; that pending such time, Palestine would have to be subjected to a foreign administration [of England] which had no basis in the consent of the population and of which the policy would be determined, not by consideration of the welfare of the population, but by the desire to assist in the settlement of an alien group; and that to make such a settlement possible the country would have to be cut off from the surrounding Arab lands by artificial frontiers, would be given a separate system of law, administration, finance, tariffs, and education and would thus inevitably lose some if not all of the Arab character."
But that is what the grantors had in mind and the Arabs knew it when they argued against Partition in 1947. [13] They had learned after WWI from Winston Churchill this was their intention.
"As the first Arab delegation to England stated in the course of its correspondence with Mr. Churchill, then Secretary of State for the Colonies, 'we are to understand ...that self-government will be granted as soon as the Jewish people in Palestine are sufficiently able through numbers and powers to benefit to the full by it, and not before.' "[14]
Prior to the publishing of the British Mandate the French attached a "proce’s verbal" in French shown only in the French Version. [15] This was their agreement only on their stated understanding that the Mandate would not eliminate any existing rights of the non-Jews in Palestine. The League had no objection to the process verbal.
The Mandate expressly preserved existing civil and religious rights of the non-Jews. It could not preserve their political rights because they had never had any. The preservation of their civil rights only protected their individual political rights, ie. their electoral rights. It did not protect their collective political rights or national rights, the right of sovereignty and political self-determination.
The Arabs in Palestine had always been ruled from afar. So the Mandate carried out the “process verbal”
Why, in 1917, did Britain establish a policy that gave a preference to the Jews? There were several reasons.
1. Britain's Prime Minister at the time of the Balfour Declaration was David Lloyd-George. Later, in 1923, he was the author of an article "The Jews and Palestine" [16] In it he revealed his view that the Arabs under Ottoman Rule had turned Palestine, the Biblical land of milk and honey into a malarial wasteland. He believed it could be remedied under a reconstituted Jewish State.
2. There was considerable sympathy among many Christian Evangelicals in England who thought the Jews should be restored to Palestine to flee from the pogroms of Russia and Poland. This sympathy did not extend to receiving them in England. British workmen had complained that Jews were flooding in to England and taking their jobs and working for less. This led to the Aliens Act of 1909 restricting Jewish immigration into England.
But the British recognized that the oppression of the Jews in Russia and Poland was very bad and they needed some place to go. [17]
3. Chaim Weismann, an ardent Zionist and also a good chemist, had helped Britain in the war by developing an inexpensive method of manufacturing acetone used in cordite for munitions and had given it to the British. It was a great help to the British war effort. [18]
4. And England, according to Winston Churchill, also desired to win over the Jews in Russia, many of them in the Bolshevik government, so that they might influence the new Marxist government to remain in battle with the Germans and Ottomans in WWI on the side of the Allies. He thought that the Balfour Declaration could sway them in British favor. [19]
There came a time after WWII that the British decided their effort to be trustee was simply costing it too much. They tried to obtain some funding from the United States, but the United States declined to do so. Britain finally decided to abandon its trusteeship and guardianship in 1948.
On the abandonment of its trusteeship by Britain in 1948, political rights that were the "trust res" (the thing put in trust) devolved to the Jews as beneficiaries or wards of the trust and vested in them the political rights permitting them to exercise sovereignty. These rights had survived the demise of the League of Nations by virtue of Article 80 of the UN Charter. [20] It should be expressly noted that the Jews did not receive these rights from the Partition Resolution.
By that time the Jewish population had increased significantly. In 1947 the UN General Assembly had recommended that the Jews give up some of its rights in an attempt to avoid violence that had been threatened by the Arabs if the Jews were to reconstitute their state in Palestine. The Jews agreed to give up some of the land over which they were to have political rights, but the Arabs rejected the recommendation and commenced a war.
It was by the Arabs starting a war that led to a Jewish population majority. Some 600,000 to 700,000 Arabs fled the country before even seeing an Israeli soldier. The wealthy left first, at the first foreshadowing of war. According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, Mahmoud Abbas wrote this in the official organ of the PLO, “Filanstin”, most of the rest left at the request of the Arab Higher Committee that wanted to get them out of the way of the Arab armies in the surrounding states. [21]
Many left because of a false report that the Irgun had committed a massacre of Arabs at Deir Yassin, that the Haganah, their political enemies did not dispute. A BBC program based on an interview of an Arab radio commentator at the time revealed he had been pushed into designating a hard fought battle as a massacre so as to provide an excuse for the invasion of surrounding armies. [22]
Many Arabs local to Palestine left; some remained.
But those that left could not go back because the Arab Armies did not prevail
In 1948 Israel declared Independence and vindicated its claim by force of arms against the assault of other Arab states surrounding it. It established an orderly unified stable control of its territory except for Judea, Samaria, and East Jerusalem which had been invaded and occupied by the Arab Legion in the East. This British supplied and led organization became the Army of Jordan. [23] In the South, the Egyptian Army was able to maintain its occupation of the Gaza Strip.
In 1920 the Ottoman Empire in Article 95 of the Treaty of Sevres,had ceded its sovereignty in Palestine, which had been undisputed for 400 years, to a Mandatory Power in trust for a National Homeland for the Jews. [24] The Sevres Treaty was never ratified by the Turks who were concerned over Turkey’s boundaries in Europe and in adjacent areas in Asia, not in the Middle East and North. But these issues were finally settled in 1923 in the Treaty of Lausanne that left the agreements in the Middle East unchanged.
The trustee selected by the League of Nations at San Remo was Great Britain; the US had been another possibiility. Sovereignty, i.e. political rights, over the other 99% of the lands captured from the Ottomans in the Middle East was allocated to Arab and Muslim majorities in some 20 areas such as Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq but as in the case of Palestine, in mandates of guardianship as the inhabitants had had no prior experience in self rule.
While it was expected in 1920 that the Jewish Homeland would eventually become a state when immigration gave the Jews a majority of the population, at the time the Jews were incapable of exercising sovereignty although the "Jewish Agency" was exercising administrative authority of wide scope.
