[science and technology] five questions for you
1. Mrs. Thomas Smith of Ryde, NSW, Australia, produced a new variety of fruit in 1868. What is it called?
2. Name anything that happened in Britain on September 3rd, 1752.
3. The prefix mega- is a millionfold in the SI units and giga- is a billion. Tera is a trillion but what is the quadrillionfold (10 to the power of 15) prefix?
4. Truth, beauty, strange, charm, up and down are types of what?
5. If the camel with one hump is called a dromedary, what's the other type called?
The Granny Smith apple; nothing happened - after September 2, the next day was September 14, due to the change from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar, peta, quarks, bactrian
[illegal immigrants] why post when someone already has
Illegal immigrants gathered openly in Trafalgar Square yesterday to protest against the "injustice" of not being British citizens, and yet for some reason they were not rounded up and put into camps ready for deportation. Still, I suppose the sight of the authorities taking seriously the integrity of the country and its laws might scare the voters away, millions of whom haven't even arrived yet.
[darling's pisstaking] tyburn hill
Eamonn Butler:
When the House of Commons Treasury Select Committee asked how he decided to impose the new rate on everyone earning £150,000 or more, he replied: "There was no science behind it. It was simply my judgment."
My mate just said:
'If that was private organization and someone [the one payrolling me] came to me and said there was a recognized mechanism for determining these things and I stuck two fingers up to tell him where to go, I'd be sacked on the spot. And it's not the first time he's ignored the recommendations of committees, just because he doesn't like those recommendations.'
I can't improve on that, nor on this comment by a fellow blogger on the Adam Smith site:
Lord T, May 06, 2009It would take more than a day to work out the true level of public sector debt we have. I would:
Bring back Capital punishment for a day for Treason. Hang Blair, Gordo and his entire cabinet as well as every MP who voted for the Lisbon Treaty. Pref in a slow way. Televise the event and move the May day holiday to this day to remember it.
Then just cancel everything this lot has ever done. Repeal all the laws, cancel all the contracts and fire all the new staff. Don't forget to cancel capital punishment as well. Make it so every second year in May we vote for a new Government. No MPs to serve more than 4 years. Fix them so they are unchangeable.
Any new laws would be put on a web site and voted for by the public where their inputs are considered if above a certain number of voters. Any will automatically expire after four years unless approved again in which case they become permanent. Retire. You now have the PM's pension. Whoo Hoo.
My own comment is that if Eamonn Butler's words can be taken at face value, then Darling is taking the piss, quite openly. I do believe that, on the grounds that he is bringing that attitude to the disbursement of public monies, he should either resign henceforth or be up on treason charges, on the further grounds that he is, with malice aforethought, combined with criminal negligence, attempting to dismantle the British economy.
I mean really up on treason charges, not just blogger words of ire.
[chavs rule] rise of the new ignorance
Paul Trout, in Student AntiIntellectualism and the Dumbing Down of the University, wrote, in 1996:
Students demonstrate the anti-intellectual mindset in a number of ways: by not reading the assigned works; by not contributing to class discussions; by complaining about course workloads and lobbying for fewer assignments; by skipping class; by giving low evaluations to instructors with high standards or tough requirements; by neglecting to prepare for class and tests and not bothering to do extra-credit work or take make-up exams; by not consulting material placed on reserve or picking up class handouts; by refusing to learn any more than is necessary to get a good grade; by boasting about how little time is spent studying; by ridiculing high achievers; by being impatient with deliberative analysis; by condemning intellectual endeavors as "boring"; by resenting academic requirements as an intrusion on free time, etc., etc., etc.
There are a number of comments and questions:
1. Has it got any better or worse since 1996? The truth is, the problem has always been present in the student, in his/her self-actualizing tendency and one has only to read Evelyn Waugh, Douglas Adams, Pink Floyd and others for anecdotal evidence that it is a 'base instinct' of students to be that way.
The question then is whether the universities and staff are any better or worse these days. Trout:
Faced with growing numbers of high-school graduates who resent and resist the rigors, demands, and pleasures of higher education, colleges and universities have lowered standards to keep students happy and enrollments up. The reason, of course, is obvious: body count equals money. As long as larger enrollments mean larger budgets, and larger budgets mean administrative success, enrolling and retaining as many students as possible, regardless of their attitudes or aptitudes, is more important than making sure students achieve, learn, and produce. This explains why administrators monitor credit hours and student evaluation ratings, but not how much students actually learn. There is no economic incentive to do so. So, over the long haul, enrollment-driven funding weakens commitment to high academic standards (Stone 20-21).
Faculty, of course, are complicit in the dumbing down. Few ever question the recruitment, enrollment, or grading policies that ultimately bring money to their departments. Most department heads and chairs champion educationally fraudulent policies and practices, even when they are ultimately ruinous to staff morale, as long as they believe such policies and practices strengthen the department and protect it from being cannibalized. So, as long as administrators control the purse strings, "there is a great incentive for faculty collectively to support the administrative emphasis on growth" regardless of its negative impact on academic quality and standards (Stone 15).
This explains, in part, the phenomenon of grade inflation, for which faculty must bear most of the blame. "The incentive for institutions to emphasize rigorous grading standards is minuscule" because grade inflation--higher grades for lower achievement--keeps more students on campus, and more students on campus means larger budgets for all (Stone 10). "In essence, there is a substantial body of informed opinion suggesting that grade inflation has come about mainly because enrollment-driven funding has made grade inflation bureaucratically profitable" (Stone 9).
Lower standards and grade inflation make campuses safe for students who have little hunger for knowledge, little love of learning, and almost no appetite for hard work. Although students have many reasons for going to college, a very large number--71.3 percent of the entering class of 1995--do so not to enrich their minds but their pocketbooks. "The only reason most of us are going to school is society says, 'this is your meal ticket'" (Sacks 139).
You can read the rest of these excerpts here. So my answer would be yes, it is worse now and my post not so long ago looked at it from the research perspective. The combination of the students' base instincts, the commericalization of higher education to a degree not seen before, the socialist hijacking of the curriculum and the accompanying social dislocation of young people and there is the recipe for disaster for the next generation or two.
2. Is it any different in, say, Russia? Well no, in fact it might be worse. Russia is a country of extremes and when I arrived, they were still in the throes of authoritarian soviet education, which nevertheless produced the goods in terms of intellectualism. I've mentioned one Russian student who was below average over there, she came to our school in 1996 and swept the board.
Yet the process had already begun, it seems, in some parts of the country, as early as 1993 [all attribution in the Trout addendum]:
Andrei Toom, an adjunct math instructor from Russia, reports his dismal experiences trying to teach anti-intellectual undergraduates consumed by the consumer mindset. "As soon as I started to explain to them something which was a little bit beyond the standard course, they asked suspiciously: 'Will this be on the test?' If I said, 'no,' they did not listen any more and showed clearly that I was doing something inappropriate" (Toom 125). When asked by students why he gave math problems unlike those in the textbook, Toom responded: "Because I want you to know elementary mathematics." Immediately an imposing train of students "stood up and tramped out" (Toom 127). A colleague of Toom's was also criticized for asking his students to learn more than students in another section (Toom 127). Students viewed this not as better teaching but as an iniquity.
I can't say I found this in the early years but it certainly was so in the later stages.
A broader view
Swinging away from education itself to the broader picture, Trout asks:
Sad to say, the problem of anti-intellectual students is … the result not only of misguided educational policies and practices K through 16, but of vast social and cultural forces well beyond the classroom. These forces include family dysfunction and divorce, disengaged and permissive parenting, peer pressure to regard education derisively, youth-culture activities that militate against serious and sustained intellectual engagement, a widespread deligitimation of reading and print culture, and, an ambient popular culture that glorifies triviality, coarseness and mindlessness. How is it possible to overhaul the entire system--from popular culture and family life to the educational establishment--simultaneously?
That puts it succinctly. Many argue that things are no better nor worse than in previous generations and in previous eras. Some have this cyclical view of society which holds water to a point.
However, we've never before had the rampant prostituting of under 18s across all western nations and many eastern ones, down to such young ages, we've never had the nightclubbing culture where youth goes out en masse, without parental strictures to be bathed in dark, primaeval entrancement [I should know because I've listened to enough of it], supported by drugs, we've never had the level of alienation, we've not seen the gaming culture completely supplant the officially transmitted mores to this extent.
In ASDA recently, I overheard three girls of around fourteen discussing a fourth and how she'd just got pregnant recently. They were laughing about which boy it might have been. I wasn't privy to the rest of the discussion as we were passing by at the time but I caught the tone and it was along the lines that it was par for the course for their entire sub-group to be doing it, the only demarcator being whether the girl got pregnant or by some miracle, didn't.
It's a question of percentages – there was always a proportion into this but not to this extent. Some say that with the advent of the internet, we simply know more of what's going on now than before and in fact it went on just as much earlier.
I have to disagree. In a previous post, the point was made that the age of the girls and the much harder nature of the acts they're expected to do in pornography is completely different today than in previous years. Again, the percentages doing those shoots is small but that doesn't mean it's not going on in real life.
I call this process evil. It's a debatable point whether we can sheet this home to Them or not, to the socialists or not or to whomever but the fact is - it's wrong. Some point out that Polynesian societies have relations at very low ages and there's the example of Mohammed of course but I challenge that it was accompanied, in those societies, with the breakdown of the whole infrastructure and dark values driving this dystopia on, as it is here.

[handguns] protecting your future or boys with toys
They love their guns in the U.S. of A. and with good reason. Apparently the fear of Obamamerica is about and suppliers are running out of stock. Here in the U.K. of course, guns are illegal, which leaves us all defenceless and at the mercy of Gordo's troopers but one man who did something about it [see pics above and below] was f-ed over real well.
Now, my legal advice is that you can show how to make a gun on a blog, as long as you don't encourage anyone to make it and you don't make it yourself. That's how they got him. If it's the issues you're interested in, Joe Huffman is your man.
Pity this debate is dead in the water in this country because it is more relevant now than ever before.
[the kiss] a tragedy of boylean proportions
Your humble blogger is at a loss for words. There are those who've probably come to terms with their lot, for whom the world of the opposite gender might not be a major priority in their lives and good luck to them.
For me it is a priority, I've never been one for the constant company of men, except in the gym where you don't need the distraction of women and with one or two mates to have a bit of a laugh with. YHB just enjoys the company and the conversation of one woman at a time please, that's where the true pleasure is and he could do this for hours and hours but anything further, of course, is another question.
That's where Ms Boyle apparently finds herself and on sheer looks, the benchmark of the average punter, she doesn't measure up [join our club], so she's considering some sort of make-over but why a Demi Moore is beyond me -surely Ms Boyle would want to mimic someone she could look up to?
I've known some girls/women who'd pass for beautiful and they had their crosses to bear as well. In the public eye, Kylie is an example of this – a woman fishing in the wrong pool and coming up with piranhas every time [are piranhas ever found in pools?]. My own situation is that I've somehow found myself entangled on occasions, after a bit of groundwork surprisingly produced a result but I'm hanged if I detected anything remotely approaching ongoing love and my own cold heart might have had much to do with that.
In the hallway of our house, my life partner of an almost forgotten era once tried the word 'darling' on me for size, thought about it, decided nah, it doesn't sit well and never bothered again - I remember the incident well. She wasn't quite so reticent about calling me a bastard and a male whore [this latter has always puzzled your humble, celibate, faithful, virtually ineligible and near-virgin blogger] but there you go.
Ms Boyle says she's never been kissed. That's probably never been your own problem, dear reader and it's not been mine but we all have our crosses to bear. My cross has always been that she, whatever the age, looks around to see no one is watching, then 'allows' herself to go with me, wonders afterwards how she could ever have allowed herself to do that but keeps returning to the well anyway for some time and so I've spent most of my life as the secret assignation but not one you can whisper about to your girlfriends. Alternatively, for light relief, some have been quite defiant about being with me.
Some people would settle for that but we always want what we can't get, don't we and some sort of stable relationship would have been nice. Like Simon and Garfunkel, I once heard the word 'love' and have forgotten what two affectionate arms around the neck feel like but then, when you think of Ms Boyle, it would be nice if two arms went around any part of her and two lips upon hers.
I suppose what I'm trying to say is that we have our lot allocated to us, we're physically what we are [a particular dear heart once looked up at me and asked, 'Why can't you be taller?' to which I replied, 'I want to kiss you, not pat you on the head'] and though we can train in the gym and watch what we eat, it doesn't fully compensate for the person we project to others.
I'm not sure that a Demi Moore makeover would change much in Ms Boyle's case – perhaps she just needs a bit more of the 'come hither' in her eye although done amateurishly, it could be counterproductive. Many years ago, one particularly dedikated miss, with a penchant for the colour green [she even wrote in that colour], spent forty minutes licking her lips and doing the heavy staring thing into the eyes, which only resulted in a bout of chuckling on my part.
I don't know what to suggest to Ms Boyle. The critical test, of course, is to ask oneself, 'Am I the man for the job?' and if the answer is in the negative, then how can that be changed to an affirmative? What would have to take place first?
It's a dilemma and may your own special dilemma also find a solution.
Check this out.

[thought for the day] tuesday evening
[Tom Paine, July 16th, 2007]
[survival kit] which ten items would you choose
[cities, best and worst] another poll
Another poll:
What fantastic free attractions?Holidaymakers, be warned: London has the worst food, Paris is the most overrated and Brussels is the most boring, according to a survey of what travellers think about European cities.
In the poll of nearly 2400 travellers, by website TripAdvisor, the British capital was voted the dirtiest in Europe, home to the worst-dressed people and the most expensive.
Paris did not come off any better, with travellers saying it was the least friendly city and the second-most expensive.
But both popular destinations redeemed themselves in the online poll, with Paris voted as having the best cuisine and best-dressed people, while London was seen as having the best nightlife, best public parks and most free attractions.
"Europe's capital cities all have their highs and lows, but no other continent offers travellers' such a wealth of culture and sights within such short distances," TripAdvisor spokesman Luke Fredberg said in a statement.
"Despite London emerging as the dirtiest and most expensive city, its fantastic free attractions prove that you don't need to be a millionaire in order to enjoy the capital."
Venice beat both Paris and Rome as Europe's most romantic destination, but it was also voted the third-most expensive, after Paris and London.
Travellers seeking friendly locals should go to Dublin, while the health-conscious may prefer Denmark's Copenhagen, voted the Europe's cleanest city.
Prague was picked as the best bargain destination, while people seeking visual treats should head for Spain's Barcelona, but avoid Warsaw in Poland, which were seen as the cities with the best and worst architecture respectively.
And the most boring city? Travellers voted for the Belgian capital Brussels, with Switzerland's Zurich a close-runner up.
[what's wrong with this pic] answer
There might be much wrong in yesterday's pic but the thing I noticed was this: There's a young boy sailing the boat and it doesn't seem anyone else is on board. Now, these boats carry about 235 square feet of sail and even in a light wind, it takes an adult to balance. If you look at the pic above here, you'll notice two grown-ups, both on trapeze wires, trying to balance the craft. Look again at yesterday's pic and you'll notice the boat is 'heeling' or leaning over, so there is actually a breeze and the sails are 'sheeted' or pulled in.
I surmise that dad was in the boat behind, ready to come alongside and take over. Hell of a risk though for a photo opportunity.

[berlusconi] get away quickly, dear
I'd like to tell Berlusconi to go to hell but as that's clearly where he's [allegedly] going anyway, there's little point:
Silvio Berlusconi has demanded an apology from his wife after she accused him of "consorting with minors" and said she wanted a divorce.
The Italian prime minister, 72, told the Corriere della Sera that he did not think their marriage could survive. Veronica Lario spoke out after her husband attended the 18th birthday party of a friend's daughter. She has also clashed with her husband over his choice of inexperienced but attractive female election candidates.
"Veronica must apologise publicly - and I don't know if that will be enough," Mr Berlusconi said in an interview with the Italian daily newspaper. "It is the third time she has done this to me in the middle of an election campaign. It's too much," the billionaire prime minister said.
Asked whether his 19-year marriage to Ms Lario could survive, he added: "I don't think so. I don't know if I want it to this time."
Good riddance to the archetypal [alleged] 'Them'ist. He's [allegedly] decimated Italy and is an [alleged] criminal with a Capital C. Actually, the Christian thing would be to hope he can redeem himself - shouldn't be too much of a problem - Italy's the country of churches, if he's interested before he [allegedly] dies.
[mish mash] bits of everything
Did you know that in Russia, it's a big holiday weekend too where they try to go to their dachas if the weather is reasonable and open everything up for the new season? More properly, it's the May 9th holiday next weekend when this goes on, with shovels, hoes and all manner of bulbs but it starts this weekend for many.
The Christianity posts. I really didn't expect anyone except Sonus to read them and all they were for was to set him up for the 'real' posts today on Satanism. These are where I get stuck in. I appreciate the time some people took to wade through yesterday's lot.
I'm trying to post some alternative music at the moment as well and there's a strange one coming up this evening. One or two people are liking these, as well as the barbarian series.
With no internet of my own yet, it's damned difficult getting it all done and I'm trying to visit. Today I've set up a mechanism whereby I can be sure to do that faster. Also, the book is now being loaded and will be ready, I hope, by Wednesday.
Thanks to JHL for that post as well.
Phew! I think about covers it for now. Enjoy the remainder of your holiday. Do you guys over in the U.S. of A. have one, by any chance?
[the dark one] alive, kicking and sentient [1]
Sonus is correct, within his field of expertise:
The transmitter of light (the light bearer) was the Rose of Sharon, the carrier of the "Rosi Crucis". "Rosi" represented the "Ritu" (the redness of truth) and "Crucis" related to a cup, as in "crucible". This was equivalent to the "Sacred Vessel of Light in Kabbalah", and is why the mystical technology of the Zohar has been linked to the "Holy Grail".
Spot on. He is also spot on with references to the puritans:
The Puritan faction in England was damaging to cultural pursuits in many ways, but most effectively and permanently by way of its own literary culture.
Therefore, from 1667, Lucifer became an alternative name for Satan, while the "Lux-fer" associations with Venus, light bearer and Goddess of Love, were forgotten by way of religious clerical indoctrination and control.
Significantly, three hundred years later the puritan view is still being regurgitated by hard line religious extremists, pursuing a modern day witch hunt, based on an entirely deliberate mistranslation.
Yes, that's so – no arguments there. The single greatest source of damage to the faith, apart from Jehovah's Witnesses. However, where Sonus is ill at ease is in his theology and in his failure to reveal the whole nature of the 'dark figure' in his/her various manifestations, something I do further down in the article.
For example, he states:
In the new Testament, only one reference introduces a devil character. Other Satanic entries are symbolic, eg, at the Last Supper it is stated "Then entered satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve".
Actually, there are many, many references, for example, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4:
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Sonus makes another little blooper:
Jesus was therefore declared to be a God, 325 years later, by the Roman Emperor, and the result of these deliberations is the Nicean or Nicene Creed, so called after the location of the council, that is recited to this day in most Anglican, and Catholic churches.
Now to be fair, Sonus does not actually state that there was no declaration of divinity before that year but it certainly comes across that way and it is patently wrong. This was dealt with in the Pre-Nicene section of THIS ARTICLE posted last Sunday, which shows that, in fact, Jesus was hailed as divine from a very early time.
The biblical Satan had no physical description, and early artwork portrayed him no differently than any other angel. In the year 591 AD, Pope Gregory 1
Oh really? The dark figure has so many manifestations so yes, it's agreed it's hard to ascribe a form, as he does not have just the one form. This is where the shape shifting comes in. However, he is defined in scripture in quite a few places. Here's one:
Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent. . . Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times. Isaiah 14:29,31
There you go. Here's another one:
Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. . . Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel. Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward. I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD." Genesis 49:1,16-18
This is not meant to be a 'get stuck into Sonus session' however, but a 'get stuck into Satan session', so let's get started.
The Ancient Satan
What becomes apparent, the more you study and research, is how the manifestations and the motifs have such similarities throughout history, whether on the plains with Moloch, in the French revolution or in Darfur.
'Let me introduce myself,' sang Jerry Hall's partner and even Sonus's article portrays the dark one, at worst, as Old Nick, forgetting about the pain, misery, death, dependency and alienation which attend his every move. It's always destructive whilst maintaining it's constructive and thus the little people are crushed beneath the juggernaut, to culturally mix metaphors.
Annunaki and Nephilim
In the Sumerian Scriptures, which go back at least 6000 years, the stone tablets tell us about the Anunnaki "they who from heaven came". According to researchers like Zachariah Sitchin, the Anunnaki were the Gods mentioned in the Old Testament of the Bible, aliens who came from another planet and created humankind as a slave race to serve them.
The Sumerian Scriptures tell us about Anu, who was the king of the Anunnaki, and Ea (or Enki), who is the serpent. He is told to be the one who gave the knowledge to man in the Garden of Eden, and created the first secret society, the above mentioned " Brotherhood of the Snake".
The Anunnaki are said to have come here to exploit the resources of the Earth; especially gold, as this was something they were lacking on their planet, and they urgently needed it as an important ingredient in their atmosphere. Thus Ea, who was a brilliant scientist, created homo sapiens as a hybrid between a primitive earth life-form and the alien race.
The Christian viewpoint is that the Anunnaki in fact were the Giants that walked the Earth, which the Bible is talking about. Those Giants were the Nephilim, who rebelled against God and were cast down to Earth from Heaven, together with their master. Christians explain shape shifting by saying that the aliens in fact are demons and the Nephilim.
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
There were giants in the earth in those days (prior to Genesis 1:2); and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men, which were of old (before man), men of renown. Gen 6: 1-3
I don't see any reason to doubt this, as all scriptures, both dark and light, appear to converge in this area, though the interpretations of texts differ and the real interpretation is concealed [arcane].
Also, if you can accept the early parts of the Torah, some very weird things seemed to go on, at least until the flood. Things then became a bit more orthodox in the New Testament.
It does explain though why the powers that be today are the powers that be and the ancient families are the ancient rulers. Michael Palin once said, 'Well I didn't vote for you,' and Graham Chapman replied, 'You don't vote for Kings.' No you don't, you get made, according to the Sequenenry Tao II tradition.
These horses' backsides are still with us and the higher up the food chain you go, [in the UK, that means London and Scotland, in some high-paid position], the more likely it is that you'll brush up against one of these. You can always tell them – they're the ones who've sold their souls for advancement at lower levels or else they themselves are the Old Ones.
The lion and the bees
Jacob's prophecy in Genesis 49:10-12 is foretelling why Satan will choose to insert his seed into the tribe of Judah before the last days. Jesus is referred to in the Bible as the Lion of Judah and this fact is the key to knowing which tribe the Antichrist will rise from because in Judges 14:1-9 Samson kills a young lion by the vineyards of Timnath. He returns to the carcass of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcass. The bees are important because they symbolize the devils of Egypt, which by the time of the end will have taken up residence in the body of the Lion of Judah, or the covenant that was established and left behind by Jesus.
The corruption motif.
Osirus was, in all probability, the serpent at the garden of Eden, who said unto the woman, You shall not surely die: For God knows that in the day you eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as gods, Genesis 3:4-5.
This is what was taught to the Pharaohs of Egypt in the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid. This is also why Napoleon stumbled out of the chamber disoriented (see Divided By One) during his visit to the Great Pyramid, and it is also why he adapted the beehive as one of his symbols.
After leaving Egypt and arriving at the foot of the mountain of God in Saudi Arabia, Moses was called upon to receive the Ten Commandments. The second law given to him was this. You shall not make unto you any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven, Exodus 20:4. The layout of the pyramids on the Giza Plateau is exactly that, a likeness of something in heaven.
Then in Exodus 20:25-26 God tells Moses, And if you will make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stone: for if you lift up your tool upon it, you have polluted it. Neither shall you go up by steps unto my altar, that your nakedness be not discovered thereon.
If the Great Pyramid of Egypt is nothing else, it is a giant stairway to heaven made completely of hewn stone.
More important than that though, is that your nakedness be not discovered thereon, because the word nakedness leads us right back to Genesis chapter three where Adam and Eve were found in the garden of Eden knowing for the first time that they were naked.
The association of Dan with Satan is more than fanciful. For example:
Nor is the omission of Dan in I Chron. iv. et seq. unintentional. . . Dan became the very type of evildoing. He was placed in the north (Num.ii.25), this being the region of darkness and evil (Jer. i.14) because of his idolatry which wrapped the world in darkness (Num.ii.)." [Singer, The Jewish Encyclopedia, ("Dan"), p. 423]
'We shall hear the voice of his swift horses from Dan; the whole earth shall be moved by the voice of the neighing of his galloping horses: he shall also come and devour the earth, and the fulness thereof, the city also, and they that dwell therein.' This, too, is the reason that this tribe is not reckoned in the Apocalypse along with those which are saved." [Irenaeus, "Against Heresies," Vol. I of Ante-Nicean Fathers, p. 559]
Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers … nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. Daniel 11:37
Persistent motif.
"[T]he whole time of your faith will not profit you unless you are made complete in the last time. For in the last days false prophets and corrupters shall be multiplied, and sheep shall be turned into wolves . . . and then shall the deceiver of the world appear, pretending to be the Son of God, and [he] shall do signs and wonders, and the earth shall be delivered into his hands" (Didache 16:3-4 [A.D. 70]).
For the deceiver seeks to liken himself in all things to the Son of God. Christ is a lion, so Antichrist is also a lion. Christ is a king, so Antichrist is also a king. The Savior was manifested as a lamb, so he too in like manner will appear as a lamb without; within he is a wolf. The Savior came into the world in the circumcision [i.e., the Jewish race], and he will come in the same manner. . . . The Savior raised up and showed his holy flesh like a temple, and he will raise a temple of stone in Jerusalem" (The Antichrist 6 [A.D. 200]).
"[W]e find it written regarding Antichrist . . . 'Dan is a lion's whelp, and he shall leap from Bashan' [Deut. 33:22]. But that no one may err by supposing that this is said of the Savior, let him attend carefully to the matter. Dan, he says, is a lion's whelp. And in naming the tribe of Dan, he declared clearly the tribe from which Antichrist is destined to spring. For as Christ springs from the tribe of Judah, so Antichrist is to spring from the tribe of Dan. And that the case stands thus, we see also from the words of Jacob: 'Let Dan be a serpent, lying upon the ground, biting the horse's heel' [Gen. 49:17].
The events of the transition (Judges 18) and subsequent choices resulted in the tribe of Dan's becoming the most idolatrous of all the tribes. Idolatrous worship practices were established in Dan during the priesthood of Moses' grandson, Jonathan, and were continued by his descendants (Judg 18:30). The city finally became a national center of idolatry under Jeroboam I (1 Kgs 12:29-33).
Being "the rearward of all the camps" (Num. x. 25), Dan fell a victim to "the fire that devoured the uttermost part of the camp because of the idol which provoked the anger of the Lord" (Targ. Yer. to Num. xi. 1, Hebr.). It was also Dan's idolatry which induced Balaam to order altar and sacrifices for the defeat of Israel (Targ. Yer. to Num. xxii. 41, xxiii. 1). Dan's idolatry restrained Abraham in his march against the Babylonian kings (Gen. xiv. 15; Gen. R. xliii.) and appalled Moses in his vision of the future (Targ. Yer. to Deut. xxxiv. 1; Sifre, Debarim, 357). The children of Dan taught their sons the idolatrous Amorite practises contained in the books hidden under Mount Abarim (Gaster, "Chronicles of Jerahmeel," 1899, p. 167).
The reference to the name "Daniel" and to the cuneiform name of a king, "Ashur-dan," in support of the critical view has not been regarded by conservative scholars as sufficient to prove the contention in issue. Still, the analogy with other names, both tribal (Gad) and personal, is strongly in favor of the views advanced by Kuenen and his successors. "Daniel," in all probability, means "Dan is El" (compare "Eliyahu") and not "God is my judge"; and "Ashur-dan" is also a combination of two names of deities.
Several references to the activities of the tribe of Dan in the early period of the monarchy are found in the Books of Chronicles. Thus, 28,600 armed men of the tribe are represented as taking part in the election of David in Hebron (I Par., xii, 35), and among the skilled artists sent by Hiram of Tyre to Solomon was the metal-worker Hiram, whose mother was of the tribe of Dan (II Par., ii, 13 sq.).
Danes from the Israelite Tribe of Dan invaded Denmark at about the same time as the Naphtali moved in large numbers into Norway. The Tribe of Dan was represented by a snake or by a lion. Other accepted symbols of Dan were a pair of scales, an eagle, and a dragon. Many members of Dan settled in Denmark, in Ireland, in Wales, England, and the U.S.A. where 40-50 million people have Irish ancestry. The symbol of a snake was once worshipped in Ireland; a lion represents Denmark and England, Wales has a dragon on its flag, and the U.S.A. has an eagle.
The "Bloodline of the Holy Grail," written by Sir Laurence Gardner, Chief Royal Genealogist to the Scottish House of Stewart, refers to a real and historic King Arthur having the same Bloodline of the Messiah, the ancient Bloodline of Israel's King David. To the Jewish mind, having the Bloodline of their ancient King David is also equated to being one considered to be their Messiah, for whom they are still waiting.
Two Royal Families in Great Britain claim and have claimed of them to be descendants of Israel. These are the current House of Windsor and the House of Stewart. Both these have what is called the Holy Bloodline of Judah [from which ancient Judaism states their Messiah MUST herald from].
King Arthur died from a "mortal wound to the head", having his skull crushed in battle from a sword, at the Battle of Camlann between 516-550 AD. It then becomes another note of intriguing interest that both the Biblical Beast and the legendary Arthur both "are mortally wounded", then seemingly recover. Both are said to return, leading the world to a Millennial peace.
The Pont de l'Alma site in Paris is ancient and dates back to the Merovingian kings and before. In pre-Christian times, the Pont de l'Alma was an underground chamber and was used as a pagan sacrificial site. In Middle English, "soul" has, as its etymology, "descended from the sea." In French – de la Mere.
"Pont" has as a Latin root "pontifex", meaning a Roman high priest. "Alma" also is Spanish for "Soul or spirit". One translation of Pont del' Alma would be "Bridge of the Soul." It was believed that those who died at the sacrificial site became saintly and went directly to heaven.
Freemasonry and those naughty Templars
"Thirty-third degree Freemason Albert Pike (1809-1891), the man destined to develop the Luciferian Doctrine for the Masonic hierarchy, could not accept that Lucifer and Satan were the same personality. While teaching his beliefs to a select few in the Supreme Council, Pike became the most powerful Mason in the world. Although an obscure general in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War, he was hardly inconspicuous in Freemasonry.
From 1859 until his death in 1891, Pike occupied simultaneously the positions of Grand Master of the Central Directory at Washington, D.C., Grand Commander of the Supreme Council at Charleston, S.C., and Sovereign Pontiff of Universal Freemasonry. He was an honorary member of almost every Supreme Council in the world, personally receiving 130 Masonic degrees.
Pike also was one of the most physically and morally repulsive individuals in American history. Weighing well over three hundred pounds, his sexual proclivity was to sit naked astride a phallic throne in the woods, accompanied by a gang of prostitutes. To these orgies he would bring one or more wagon loads of food and liquor, most of which he would consume over a period of two days until he passed into a stupor. In his adopted state of Arkansas, portraits of his later years show him wearing a symbol of the Baphomet around his neck."
[Scarlet and the Beast, John Daniel, vol 1]
"You must conceal all the crimes of your brother Masons... and should you be summoned as a witness against a brother Mason be always sure to shield him... It may be perjury to do this, it is true, but you're keeping your obligations."
[Ronayne, "Handbook of Masonry" p. 183 ]
"We shall unleash the Nihilists and atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which, in all its horror, will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirit will from that moment be without a compass (direction), anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the pure light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view, a manifestation which will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time."
[Albert Pike, on a plan for world conquest, written in a letter to Mazzini dated August 15, 1871.]
No doubt at all that he exists as a sentient being, is there? At least not in Their eyes. Of course, you yourself, dear reader, may have more wisdom than all the ancients combined and insist that there is no sentient Lucifer. With your level of worldly wisdom and the depth of your scholarship, should we be worshipping you instead?
'There exists in the world today, and has existed for thousands of years, a body of enlightened humans united in what might be termed an Order of the Quest. It is composed of those whose intellectual and spiritual perceptions have revealed to them that civilization has a secret destiny. The outcome of this 'secret destiny' is a World Order ruled by a King with supernatural powers. This King was descended of a divine race; that is, he belonged to the Order of the Illumined for those who come to a state of wisdom then belonged to a family of heroes - perfected human beings.'
[Manly P. Hall 33° Mason, The Secret Destiny of America]
And so on and so on and so on. Yo, satana.
Why no woman should join the Eastern Star - excerpts from Masonry, Beyond the Light by William Schnoebelen. This is the account of a former Rainbow girl.
This is the problem with the OES. The people who put the order together back in the 19th century relied upon the familiarity with Matthew 2:2 as a common "Christmas verse." However, in light of the satanic symbolism involved in the OES, we need to look for another layer of meaning applied to that verse of scripture.
The A.V. 1611 text does not say "eastern star." It says "star in the east." The phrase "Eastern Star" has a specialized meaning in occultism.
It refers to the star, Sirius, which is the most significant star in Satanism! It is sacred to the god, Set. Remember Set as the evil Egyptian god who killed Osiris? Set is probably the oldest form of Satan! The Eastern Star is the star of Set.
However, deadly word games are being played here. Though most women involved in the OES doubtless assume they are worshiping Jesus as they kneel around a huge satanic pentagram, it is obvious that the "his" actually refers to Set's star, not Jesus' star.
In Albert Pike's commentary on this degree, we find the usual duplicity found elsewhere in the Lodge. He explains:
"To find in the BLAZING STAR of five points an allusion to Divine Providence is fanciful; and to make it commemorative of the Star that is said to have guided the Magi, is to give it a meaning comparatively modern. Originally, it represented Sirius, or the Dog-star, the forerunner of the inundation of the Nile…"
Pike readily casts aside the bland lie of the degree and confirms that the blazing star is neither Divine Providence, nor is it Jesus' "star in the east." It is an Egyptian idol, the symbol of Sirius!
The Eastern Star was aware that other girls were having sex too and some even got pregnant, but those girls secretly got abortions. Those girls were allowed to keep their chair as long as the community was not aware of their sin. Of course the doctors who performed the abortions were Masons.
JH – by the way, don't even start on Ishtar and the statues of liberty.
There is also evidence that the Templar fleet travelled to North America in 1398 (almost 100 years before Columbus) with the Sinclairs, and settled there at least temporarily. Connections are made between the tower ruins along the eastern coast of the United States, objects discovered in the Oak Island "Money Pit", and the Templar Order.
The Sinclairs (or Saint-Clairs) castle near Edinburgh, was situated next to Rosslyn chapel, which was constructed by the Sinclairs according to the floorplan of Solomon's original temple. Engraved in the masonry around the chapel are maize and aloe plants, which grew only in North America.
JH – you probably know all about Rosslyn, so I shan't go on with it.
The Mason's Tale
The parallel story is this: Egypt was divided at this time with a dynasty of Hyksos kings in the Northern Kingdom and a legitimate pharaonic dynasty in the Southern Kingdom. Seqenenry Tao II appears to have been murdered by two spies dispatched on an espionage mission from the north to extract the occult secrets pertaining to the king-making rituals from the Theban ruler in the south.
The Hyksos ruler, Apophis, apparently wished to establish a legitimate pharaonic dynasty in the north by stealing the king-making rites from the south. The name "Hyksos" means "Shepherd Kings" and refers to the Semitic peoples who settled in Egypt during a period of famine and whose numbers swelled to a point where they outstripped the indigenous population of the north and eventually seized control.
Joseph was a contemporary of Seqenenry Tao II and served under the Hyksos king, Apophis, as vizier. When his brothers Levi and Simeon came to Egypt to request wheat on behalf of famine-struck Canaan, Joseph displayed natural reluctance, since his brothers had once tried to take his life. Intent on avenging their dark deed, Joseph devised a punishment. In exchange for their lives, the brothers would have to undertake a dangerous espionage mission on behalf of the king.
Their job was to steal the secrets pertaining to the ritual of making kings from the legitimate pharaoh of the South Kingdom. Agreeing to Joseph's proposal, the brothers were dispatched to the south to extract the required secrets from the pharaoh of the south. With the complicity of a young Theban priest of the south, they confronted the pharaoh in the Temple of Amon-Re and demanded that he reveal the nature of these arcane practices. When he refused, the three spies administered the three fatal blows symbolically reenacted in the 3rd Degree of Freemasonry.
The three assassins are referred to in Masonic lore as Jubelo, Jubela, and Jubelum and are known collectively as the three "Juwes". Jubelo has been identified as the treacherous young priest who conspired with the assassins, while Jubela and Jubelum are believed to be Joseph's brothers Levi and Simeon.
It is clear from this account that Joseph, his brothers and the Hyksos ruler of the North were all complicit in the murder of Sequenenry Tao II or Hiram Abif, the 'Lost King'. The reason he is referred to as the 'Lost King' is because, with his death, the arcane king-making rituals of ancient Egypt were lost forever.
The Rosy Cross
1st century AD. It was at this time that Ormus was converted to the Gnostic view of Christianity by Mark, a disciple of Jesus.
It was Ormus who founded a secret society, which united esoteric Christianity with the teachings of the pagan mystery schools. He adopted the symbol of a cross, surmounted by a rose, to symbolize the specifically pagan brand of Christianity he embraced.
Some researchers maintain that the original Order of the Rosy Cross dates to Pharaoh Thothmes III, who reigned in the 15th century BC. The pharaoh allegedly formed a secret brotherhood composed of the most learned priests, scribes, and philosophers of his day.
There seems to be some basis for this account, since the modern Order still employs the personal seal of Thothmes as one of its symbols in both private and public documents.
Some of the Grand Masters who have presided over the Order include: Raymond VI, the Count of Toulouse; Dante, the writer, poet, and philosopher; Cornelius Agrippa, the German magician, who wrote about the Templars; Paracelsus, the alchemist and founder of chemistry and modern medicine; Dr. John Dee, the Elizabethan astrologer and cabalist; Giordana Bruno, the Hermetic philosopher who was burnt at the stake during the Inquisition; Sir Francis Bacon, politician, writer, philosopher, and the true author of the Shakespeare plays according to Freemasonry; Spinoza, the famed philosopher; Robert Boyle, the English scientist responsible for founding the Royal Society, based on Bacon's concept of the Invisible College; Sir Christopher Wren, the sacred geometry adept responsible for building many of London's most prized architectural marvels, including St. Paul's Cathedral; Benjamin Franklin, writer, philosopher and Renaissance man extraordinaire; Comte Cagliostro, the occultist founder of Egyptian Freemasonry, and Thomas Jefferson, the U.S. president. Claude Debussy, a past Grand Master of the Priory of Sion, has also been listed as one of the Rosicrucian Order's Grand Masters.
Do you remember that hotch-potch film, The Da Vinci Code, with Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou? Do you recall where, as a child, she accidentally saw a ritual where a woman was being bestialized by a coven in the middle of a downstairs room? At the end of the film, those people took her back and they were meant to be the heroes of the film! As a little joke, Audrey Poupou steps on water and with a little giggle, says, 'No,' meaning that walking on water is a myth and therefore she's a non-believer.
By the way, did you observe any actual love displayed throughout that film? What was the author's name again – Dan, wasn't it?
"It is generally agreed that the biggest single influence in the modern expansion of ritual magic, and the occult explosion in general, in the Western world, was the Golden Dawn. This magical fraternity, founded by Freemasons at the end of the 19th century, developed a complex ritual system with ten degrees of initiation relating to the Cabalistic Sephiroth."
[Janet and Stewart Farrar, The Life and Times of A Modern Witch, Phoenix Publishing Company, p. 121.]
The phoenix, by the way, is quite a significant symbol in satanism.
The notion that the magik and the pagan do not have associations with the dark side is so laughable that only the uninitiated would suggest such a thing. My pagan friend used to tell me about the white and the dark, about incantations and hexes [I had eleven of them on me at one point, all bar two from women]. I had a long association with an adept named Cypra and she taught me much about the juxtaposition of the universe, so I don't come from a lifelong Christian tradition but from the other side; though my initial commitment was early, the illumination came well into my adult life, after I'd already done a lot of damage.
[the dark one] alive, kicking and sentient [2]
Some modern historical context
The Committee of 300
This one's just a snippet, it's not that interesting:
Founded in 1729 by the black nobility through the British East India Company to deal with international banking and trade problems and to support the opium trade, it is run by the British Crown. It comprises the world banking system and the most important representatives of Western nations. Through the Committee of 300, all banks are linked to the Rothschilds.
1875 - Russian occultist Helena Petrovna Blavatsky founds the Theosophical Society. Madame Blavatsky claims that Tibetan holy men in the Himalayas, whom she refers to as the Masters of Wisdom, communicated with her in London by telepathy. She insists that the Christians have it all backwards - that Satan is good and God is evil. She writes: "The Christians and scientists must be made to respect their Indian betters. The Wisdom of India, her philosophy and achievement, must be made known in Europe and America."
JH – you see, it's not just the Christians who polarize good and evil – the pagans do it too.
Feb. 5, 1891 - Rhodes joins his group from Oxford with a similar group from Cambridge headed by ardent social reformer William Stead. Rhodes and Stead are members of the inner "Circle of Initiates" of the secret society which they found. There is also an outer circle known as the "Association of Helpers."
1934 - "The Externalization of the Hierarchy" by Alice Bailey is published. Bailey is an occultist, taking over from Annie Besant as head of the Theosophical Society. Bailey's works are channeled from a spirit guide, the Tibetan Master [demon spirit] Djwahl Kuhl. [Her teachings form the foundation for the current New Age movement.]
She writes: "The hour for the ancient mysteries has arrived. These Ancient Mysteries were hidden in numbers, in ritual, in words, and in symbology; these veil the secret. There is no question therefore that the work to be done in familiarizing the general public with the nature of the Mysteries is of paramount importance at this time.
These Mysteries will be restored to outer expression through the medium of the Church and the Masonic Fraternity." She further states: "Out of the spoliation of all existing culture and civilization, the new world order must be built."
Nice people.
The book is published by the Lucis Trust, incorporated originally in New York as the Lucifer Publishing Company. Lucis Trust is a United Nations NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) and has been a major player at the recent UN summits.
JH - Djwahl Kuhl now masquerades, by the way, as Lord Maitreya, the teacher, the Christ amongst us and he even has a website, replete with their beloved, diffused light blues, pale yellows and vague expressions of love and all-inclusiveness [read relativism]. If you ever see a company or government department using this colour configuration, odds are …
[By the way, did anyone ever see a miracle performed in Nairobi?]
April 1978 - The U.S. Department of the Army adds in its "Chaplain's Handbook of Religious Requirements" new religions which had become federally recognized and which could be legally practiced on all military bases throughout the world. These "new" religions are Satanism, witchcraft and other occult religions.
April 25, 1982 - A full-page ad appears in major newspapers around the world proclaiming: "THE CHRIST IS NOW HERE." The advertising campaign coincides with the beginning of a speaking tour by one Benjamin Creme, a British theosophist. In various interviews and speeches, Creme explains that in speaking of "the Christ," he does not mean Jesus Christ but Lord Maitreya, the World Teacher.
According to Creme, Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, and others are merely disciples of Maitreya. These Ascended Masters comprise an enlightened Spiritual Hierarchy which has guided humanity's evolution throughout history.
He maintains that Lord Maitreya fulfils the expectations of all peoples. Maitreya is the Christ awaited by the Christians; to the Jews he is the Messiah, to the Moslems he is the Imam Mahdi, to the Buddhists he is the Fifth Buddha, to the Hindus he is Krishna.
In the past, Creme tells us, these Ascended Masters have usually worked through disciples, but now they're among us and ready to help our world take its next step. [Benjamin Creme's publication "Share International" is now produced in association with the U.N.'s Department of Public Information.]
Muslim take on the whole thing
"At that time suddenly Jesus son of Mary (on whom be peace) shall appear among the Muslims. Then the people will stand up for the Prayer, and he will be asked, 'Step forward, Oh Spirit of Allah (and lead us in the Prayer); but he will say, 'No: your own leader should step forward and lead the Prayer.' Then, after offering the Morning Prayer, the Muslims shall go forth to fight the Dajjal. "
Meanwhile, the dark one and his legion indulge in their delusions of grandeur …
In "The Illustrious Lineage of the Royal House Of Britain" (First Published in 1902 by The Covenant Publishing Co., Ltd., London, England), the authors easily trace Prince Charles' lineage back to David and beyond.
The College of Heralds (London) has also traced Prince Charles to be the 145th direct descendant of King David. This claim was also made, in May of 2000, in a documentary on Israeli television.
Charles also claims descent from Islam's prophet Mohammed. [!^&*$%!]
Prince Charles' Coat of Arms and Crest was designed for him by the British College of Heraldry, using a system of guidelines over 500 years old. It contains ALL the Biblical symbols of the Beast.
It has a dog supported by a roaring lion and a unicorn, (called a wild beast with a straight horn, a wild oxen, or 'little horn').
Revelations 13:2 "And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. "
On Prince Charles' Coat of Arms are representations of the Emperors of the Holy Roman Empire. These are the animal symbols for France, the leopard; Germany, the Bear; and England, the lion. These nations represented the western arm of the Holy Roman Empire.
His Coat of Arms contains ten heraldic beasts, which is a first for the British Monarchy. All previous British Monarchs had either three or six, but none have ever had ten.
Prince Charles has a red dragon on his coat of arms from the flag of Wales. At his coronation (investiture as Prince of Wales) in 1969, he sat on a chair with a large red dragon emblazoned on it.
During the ceremony, his mother said:
"This dragon gives you your power, your throne and your own authority."
His response to her was:
"I am now your Liege-man, and worthy of your earthly worship."
Revelations 13:2 says:
"And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority."
Another symbol on Prince Charles' Coat of Arms is that of The Order of the Garter. The Order of the Garter is the parent organization over Freemasonry worldwide. When a man becomes a 33rd Degree Mason, he swears allegiance to that organization.
On June 26th 1994, Charles announced that when he becomes king he will relinquish the monarch's role as head of the Church of England. He said he would rather be seen as "defender of the faiths," rather than "defender of the faith."
On June 2nd 1953, with the knights of the garter carrying and holding the canopy over her head, Elizabeth II was anointed and crowned as "Queen of Thy people Israel".
Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth II claim to be of the bloodline of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene. Jesus is claimed to have married Mary Magdalene and fathered a number of children.
This bloodline is referred to as the "Holy Grail", with those possessing it believing themselves the rightful heirs to the throne of Jerusalem. They believe that a new king of "the holy seed of David" will preside over the Israel and the world.
Prince Charles' link is through the Merovingian Kings of France. He is allegedly descended from the Merovingian Hildegarde. Princess Diana's Bloodline can also be traced back to the Merovingians.
In 1992 (just before the full unification in 1993) Charles applied to the EU to be made King of Europe. He was turned down by the European parliament. [WTF!%^&*£*?]
According to Prince Charles, "I am sure that many people consider that the United Kingdom is in an ideal geographical and historical position to act as an interpreter and mediator between the United States and Europe."
Right on, Your Highness!
The perversion and misery are his legacy
Dirty, cruel, painful things, arrogantly done to the Common Man by grubby, empty people in clean, crisp uniforms - the evidence is there if only you will look.
1* Evidence exists that mind-control and behaviour modification technology is presently concealed behind Non Lethal Defense (NLD) initiatives. In an announcement in 1995 that non-lethal weapons - including high powered microwaves and radio frequency devices - are to be 'transited' to the law enforcement sector was met with dismay in some quarters.
This joint programme, known as 'Operations Other Than War', opens the way for the military to move into the civilian domain - a move precluded by the American constitution. The stated aim is to more effectively tackle narcotics trafficking, terrorism and other criminal activity.
2* There is profound evidence in favour of the iatrogenic pathway to DID [and so] my only possible conclusion is yes, you can create full tilt DID artificially from ground zero. There is absolutely no limit on the quantity, complexity, reality, congruence and plausibility of false memories that you can insert into somebody's mind - wittingly or unwittingly.
They didn't tell me that in medical school. This is a little sub paradigm revolution in the DID field. There is a huge wealth of information, experimental information and clinical anecdotal information of DID that's been up and running and full tilt in the mental health field for 50 years now. This did not spring out of nowhere in 1980.
Bluebird and Artichoke were two programs that ran from 1951-53 and these were then rolled over into MKULTRA, which ran from 1953 to 1963 and then there are 149 sub-projects. That was then administratively rolled over into MKSEARCH which ran until 1973. Contiguously with that, and in collaboration with Edgeware Arsenal, was MKNAOMI, which involved MKULTRA, ARTICHOKE and BLUEBIRD type research done abroad.
Martin Orne was on the Scientific Advisory Board of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation, as was Richard Ofshe, an expert on coercive mind control and cult persuasion techniques.
In his book, "Making Monsters", Ofshe ridiculed nuts who believed that the CIA had been creating MPD. Next there was Joly West, funded under MKULTRA to study the psychobiology of dissociation. He was also the only person to ever kill an elephant, at Oklahoma City Zoo, with LSD. Joly West started his professional career interviewing American pilots who had come back from Korea, having been captured and brainwashed by the Communist Chinese.
3* Tate (1991), who examined a number of these British cases and compared them to North American and Dutch cases (Hudson 1991; Jonker and Jonker-Bakker 1991; Snow and Sorenson 1990), was struck by the similarities. Because many of these children reported SRA without attending adults encouraging them, Tate concluded that either there exists a worldwide conspiracy among toddlers or the children are speaking the truth. [Onno van der Hart, "Reports on Ritual Abuse in European Countries: A Clinician's Perspective," 1998]
Approximately 80 youngsters came forward and made allegations concerning sexual abuse, forced prostitution, and cult activities including the human sacrifice of small children and babies at satanic rituals. Many of the children stated that they were placed on private jets and flown to Washington DC and other cities for sex orgies with U.S. Congressmen, U.S. Senators, at least one top official in the White House, and other public officials.
These same children were also used in an organized child kidnapping/sex slave operation that facilitated the abduction of yet other children from playgrounds and off the street, who were then used in child porn and snuff films or sold into slavery. "Sales" of abducted young American children to foreigners was common.
A 10-13 year old blue-eyed blonde child could be auctioned off for more than $50,000, near an air strip close to Las Vegas or Toronto and then placed on an unmarked plane, never be seen or heard from again. One of those planes was identified as a DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration) plane.
Of the 80 children who originally came forward, only four were willing to sign statements.
Two of the four later recanted, but the remaining two, Alisha Owen and Paul Bonacci, refused to recant and held fast to their allegations. Criminal charges were filed against both of them. Owen was convicted of perjury before a grand jury and spent two years in solitary confinement. Six months after refusing to recant and prior to her perjury trial, Alisha's brother, Aaron Owens, committed 'suicide' in a correction center cell.
Overlaying the Franklin Cover-Up case is a CIA front operation, called The Finders. Gunderson outlined the mission of The Finders in a description included in his 1993 report, "Child Kidnapping in America; The CIA Connection" thus:
"CIA Front established in the 1960's, kidnapping and torture-programming of young children throughout the U.S. They use a fleet of unmarked vans to grab targetted children from parks and school yards. In doing so, they use children within their organization as decoys to attract the victims close to the vans where they are grabbed by the adults. They then drug the children and transport them to a series of safe houses for keeping.
They are then used in their ceremonies, for body parts, sex slaves, and some are auctioned off at various locations in the northern hemisphere. In the past, they have been auctioned off at locations near Las Vegas, Nevada and Toronto, Canada. Marion David Pettie, a leader of the cult, is an identified homosexual, pedophile, and CIA officer. His son was an employee of Air America, which was notorious for smuggling drugs destined for the U.S., out of the Golden Triangle into Saigon during the Viet Nam War."
In Gunderson's report on The Finders, he included copies of letters containing allegations and supporting documentation sent in 1992 to the Nebraska Attorney General, Dan Stenberg, the Nebraska FBI, the Director of the FBI, William Sessions, the Governor of Nebraska, and the Attorney General of the United States, William Barr, among others.
JH – these people are about in the UK, I could name some locations and while the finger is pointed at showcase paedophiles who are a problem, not playing that down one bit, the drugs and child abductions/prostitution is the province of Them, the suited ones and the female power dressers. I know some of these people personally, I used to move in their circles.
Many victims of satanic ritual abuse and government sponsored mind control technologies have come forward in recent years with books describing their experiences. Cathy O'Brien, a 'presidential model' mind control victim reveals, in Trance Formation in America (1994), about conditioning, using ritual terrorization of her and her daughter, Kelly.
Brice Taylor's 1999 book, Thanks for the Memories, goes even farther than Cathy O'Brien's book in its revelations of known celebrities and insiders such as Bob Hope.
Gunderson's former comrades in the FBI have long ago turned their back on and shunned him. If readers are interested in reaching Ted Gunderson, you can mail him at: Finder of Missing Persons 2118 Wilshire Blvd. #422 Santa Monica, CA 90403 tel. 310-364-2280
4* It is Luciferian, and they teach their followers that their roots go back to the ancient mystery religions of Babylon, Egypt, and Celtic druidism. They have taken what they consider the "best" of each, the foundational practices, and joined them together into a strongly occult discipline. Many groups at the local level worship ancient deities such as "El", "Baal", and "Ashtarte", as well as "Isis and Osiris" and "Set".
These are NOT nice people and they use and manipulate others viciously. They cut their eye teeth on status, power, and money.
a. The Celtic branch of spiritual believes that power is passed at the moment between life and death. They will do rituals with children, or even older adherents, where the person is tied down, and an animal is bled to death on top of them. The belief is that the person receives power from the departing spirit, which "enters" the person. It is also highly traumatizing and horrible to have an animal go through its death throes on top of you. Throw in a few threats that "this will happen to you if you ever tell," and a quite strong impression is made on small children.
b. Opening portals and dimensions: I know, this sounds like stuff from a sci-fi film, but these people really believe that there are other spiritual dimensions, and that to pass into them, first a major sacrifice is done to "open a portal", usually several animals. I have also seen animal sacrifices done to protect from the demonic, or blood used to "close a circle" so the demonic cannot penetrate it.
c. Sacrifices are also done on high holy days. I have also seen human sacrifice, but these were very rare (I believe I have seen two or three real ones in my life, the rest were set-ups). They really don't want to kill off their children, they want a new generation to grow up and continue the practices. More often, I saw animals used in sacrifices and rituals.
d. Other loss of life, rare but horrible, I saw as a head trainer because of my job. Rarely, a trainer would push a person too far, and didn't check for signs of stress. Especially with some of the newer medications used to create trance states, their meds covered the more obvious signs of trauma and stress (elevated heart rate, rapid breathing, tremors, pupil size changing), or blunted them and they NEVER COME BACK. They become a vegetable, or worse, they scream and scream for hours without end.
5* The gold or bronze statue of Baal is in a holy grove on a large private estate between Quebec and Montreal. Since I was only 12 years old when I went there, the details aren't quite as clear. But the ceremonies there were full of people in white gowns, lots of flowers and fruits and votive offerings, singing, then the final sacrifice in the arms of the statue.
Why isn't child pornography stopped? We have the evidence, law enforcement knows it exists, yet it is a multi-billion dollar industry. HOW do these people "hide" from justice and capture? Why don't the police stop them? Because these people aren't stupid. They work under secrecy. They change locations frequently, and kill those who talk to law enforcement. Bribes and other means are used to cover their tracks, and they hire excellent lawyers.
It is always hard for me to go back into this, it seems that no matter how many years go by, it is still very painful. There was trauma done in the form of being stuck with pins and needles, being burned, hung by my feet - sometimes to crosses, spun, dropped off a table as an infant, near drowning, sexual abuse and orgies, being drugged, food and sleep deprivation, and then adding to that when I was around five, was all of the military mind control that was done with instrumentation and chairs and electroshock ... That was all done to create a shattered psyche that I believe was used later for all these different personalities that were created for the mind control purpose.
I was taken to military bases in Long Beach, California as a child where they used means of light and sound combined with electroshock and drugs and all sorts of torture and hypnosis.
What I understood was that they were planning a complete and utter economic collapse of the nations that would make the Depression of 1929 look like child's play and through that, bringing people financially to their knees, they would then come in and control them, and bring in whatever other measures they would want to in the guise of rescue - when it certainly wouldn't be that at all.
JH – don't forget that this last piece was written over ten years ago, so the collapse was well known about then.
This is the legacy of Old Nick, as Sonus so euphemizingly portrays him – human desolation, misery and despair. Great legacy.
Motifs of the satanic
JC said you'd know them by their fruits, so here are some of the fruits:
* Secrecy and non-transparency in real terms whilst espousing these aims publicly
* Dualism, of which the peace symbol is a perfect example. Creating a construct that the dark and the light are interwoven and must be balanced, the idea is that you can do anything bad you like, as long as you balance it with a good deed.
Thus you run a multi-billion dollar corporation and screw people but at the same time are known as an international philanthopist who goes to church on Sundays and passes round the collection plate.
Dualism is merely a channel to the gradual abandonment of all decency and succumbing to one's base instincts, especially sexually, the Satanist Bible's 'do as thou will'. Doing good is only a smoke screen.
* Lies. Just that. A perfect example was when Blair was asked if he'd attended a Bilderberger Conference and denied it, which was a pity because his name was on the guest list which got out. Brown has mastered the technique as well, with a smile on his face.
* They take something good, like early feminism or the green movement to conserve our resources and not rape the earth, they hijack these, corrupt and pervert them for their own ends, to the point where people hate feminists and greenies, which was their plan in the first place, to prevent any real progress being made or to have it explode in the faces of people who pursue good causes.
* Treason – they'll stab you in the back and then climb over you.
* They ape good. Anything fine in the world is aped, masses become black masses, the lightbearer, JC, becomes the lightbearer, Lucifer. He has and they have no imagination – they're automatons of the state. As creative people, he and his legion make good destroyers.
* Militarization of the organs of state, e.g. arming of the police
* Increased security, ID cards,curfews etc.
* Increased restrictions on the free movement of people and their right of association
* Encouragement of the population to inform on neighbours
* State mentoring of children
* Criminalization of the ordinary person so that it is impossible to go through the day without having committed some breach they can haul you in for.
* Sticklers for the letter of the law in your case while they bend the rules, sticklers for legitimacy in law, even when the need for it has now passed
* Destruction of the institution of marriage and encouragement of divisive philosophies and social movements to separate people on gender grounds, ratcheting up natural differences which result in more and more people opting to live alone, making them prime targets
* Invocation of financial crises to bankrupt the common man and lead him into economic and social slavery [credit cards help in this]
* Working towards a global dream – the Grand Plan
* Flowery and arcane language, steeped in mysteries which always have as their root the leader, the loyal elite and the plebs, the sheep, e.g.
He drew himself up then and began to declaim, as if he were making a speech long rehearsed. "The Elder Days are gone. The Middle Days are passing. The Younger Days are beginning … Our time is at hand: the world of Men, which we must rule. But we must have Power, power to order all things as we will, for that good which only the Wise can see. [Tolkien, Lof the R]
* Jaundiced view of humans and the little people, along with their codes of conduct:
Hitler also believed that the new humanity would be free of "the dirty and degrading chimera called conscience and morality," as well as "the burden of free will" and "personal responsibility" which should rightly be borne only by the few with the fortitude to make the awful decisions necessary for the good of humanity. (Sklar, p.58)
The Nazi sacred symbols and concepts - the swastika or "gamma cross", the eagle, the red/black/white color scheme, and ancient Nordic runes (one of which became the insignia of the SS) - were all adopted from occult traditions going back centuries, shared by Brahmins, Scottish Masons, Rosicrucians, Manichaeans and others. (Angeberts gives detailed histories, p. 194-200)
There was neither the room nor the time, in these articles, to go into the eye of Horus, the Bilderbergers, Tavistock, Common Purpose, Morgan, the Fed, the Thirteen families, the CFR, the world psychiatric community and so on and so on.
I had to stop somewhere.
Sonus is a fine chap, sharp and astute and yet he need not concern himself over niceties like the confusion between Lucifer and Satan, while Rome burns before him. It's time to act on this entity who portrays himself as his former self, Lucifer, when in reality, he has become a fat, bloated, gnarled, bitter parody of the days when he stood straight and tall, wearing super-cool gear and kicking butt.
What hope for us?
As Mr. White said: 'The first thing you must understand is that we have people everywhere. Am I right?'
My answer would be: 'You're right, Mr. White but we also have people everywhere, far more than you do. Every little person has that kernel of good inside him/her, plus the ability to quickly associate and all it needs is for us to reconnect with our Maker and you lot are gone. All we need is the self-belief that it's possible, to overcome our fear and embarrassment and you lot end up on your own Molochian funeral pyres.
Coals of fire, Lucifer, to give you your respected title, coals of fire.
[the dark one] alive, kicking and sentient [3]
Your guess is as good as mine about how we got here, why G-d doesn't step in and so on and that's all we have – guesses, for the simple reason that our mental equipment can't comprehend other dimensions. However, a man can speculate and this is my motion of how it might be.
The following is a diatribe from Chapter 25 of the last book, just as things are getting nasty and everyone's killing one another. Our gallant band are holed up under a hill, everyone asks why it is so and this is one explanation:
'Why not?' asked Hugh. 'Why do we have to go all gobbledegook about it? Why can't the real scenario be quite mundane, quite easily explained in another dimension, although we can't conceptualize it ourselves?'
'I feel another Jensen rant getting close.'
'You want to hear one?'
'Go on,' Sam groaned.
Hugh grinned. 'Who is G-d?'
'The Big Boss of the Sky,' grinned Sam.
'Let me put a scenario to you all or rather a series of questions. From all the destruction we're seeing out there, what's the purpose of the enemy?'
'To destroy the world,' said Genevieve.
'And mankind in particular. OK, what has been the purpose of every government in the late 00 years?'
'To enslave us,' said Emma.
'And to remove free will and substitute coercion. That's what Genie's and Sophie's mind control were all about – to control them, to eliminate their free will. The enemy hates free will. OK, who have been the sworn enemies of the state since the dawn of states themselves?'
'The philosophers, the free thinkers,' supplied Jean-Claude.
'Especially any philosophy in which people adhere to an ethereal deity, an afterlife and moral rules, therefore caring little for the powerful controlling tools of the enemy – money, power, status and sex.
Here's a scenario.
Imagine that the science fiction books and films actually mirror the truth – there really are parallel universes, there are other dimensions, there are other worlds, wormholes, time warps and so on.
Imagine if, in many of these or even almost all of them, there is no linear time, no direction, north, south, east, west, no up and no down. There simply 'is'.
In one sector of this 'is', an Ascended Master discovers the secret of how to harness, create and destroy the lifeforce of the cosmos. He immediately constructs booby traps around the secret to prevent others from having it because, even among his team colleagues, power without intellect is a dangerous thing, like a child driving a car.
He knows that the whole secret to this lifeforce is free will. Now comes his tour de force. He creates bite sized chunks of this force, calls it 'soul' and He holds the patent – he can insert it or remove it at will and no one else can.
One of his team who fancies himself as a rival of our AM doesn't like this at all and insists the AM share the secret with all of them, meaning him, of course.
Nothing doing.
What's worse, the AM now has it in His head to create a race of super-beings with this 'soul' inserted in each unit. This is more like it, the light bearer thinks, until he discovers that the AM plans to create a special universe to house his experiment, complete with a world with water, air and life supporting things like animals.
The final insult is that the AM is going to put this soul into millions of little clones of himself, meaning Man but with one twist – each is going to have unique features, both physically and in character. Each man will be a little god in himself.
'Are you crazy?' complains the light bearer. 'Man will evolve and discover the secret of life himself. Give the power to someone more worthy, angels like us.'
'Don't worry,' smiles the AM. 'Man won't be able to. I'm not going to equip him with our time and space coordinates. We use polar axes, he'll use Cartesian. He'll have limited perception, although his ego might lead him to think he understands more.'
'No, no, a thousand times no, you're threatening the whole of life as we know it,' cries the light bearer. 'You can't go about giving this horrible little Man the power of good and evil.'
The light bearer promptly starts a war in this sector of the other dimension where they reside. For convenience, let's call it 'heaven'.
The AM, meanwhile, puts His plan into action, Adam and Eve are created and a really choice garden plot is set aside for them.
'Stuff this,' says the light bearer and heads through a portal to snuff out Man before he gets up and running. But he doesn't succeed, goes back through the portal to heaven and causes so much trouble that he and his henchmen are thrown out.
They zip through the portal and land on earth.
Now, being much larger than Man, these giants wander around, copulating with every female they can stick their things into and try to inject the gene pool with their own DNA, thereby creating a race of 'kings' who will rule the earth in perpetuity.
Now they set about destroying Man's belief in his maker and substituting opposite values for every good one Man holds. So, instead of barter, there is money, instead of vaginal sex, there is anal and so on. Everything black is painted white and vice versa.
Everything is done wrongly.
The light bearer goes completely off his rocker and through his 'kings', introduces more or less endless warfare and slaughter, each king begetting a new 'king' and so on.
One of the AM's good colleagues says, 'Listen, Boss, do you think this is such a good idea? The light bearer's causing mayhem in your little pet world.'
'Can't do anything about it,' replies the AM. 'I encoded free will into Man.'
'Oh come off it,' says Michael. 'You have the power to create and destroy.'
'No, I gave it away; I put it into my children instead.'
'You mean you can't alter anything?'
'I can in a macro-way, floods, getting Hitler to halt at the channel etc. but individually, no, not unless that individual has his spiritual receiver turned on.'
'He has to believe in me. Once he does that, then I have influence. As long as he keeps his belief circuits switched off, I can't do anything.'
Michael is frustrated beyond endurance. 'You won't stop that devastation out there?'
'Not won't, Michael - I can't. I programmed the power into Man himself, to pass to his children at the point of conception and birth.'
'Look,' said Michael, 'that silly sod the light bearer is holding rituals down there where everyone's praying to him and they kill some child or other and drink its blood so that the power is passed to them at the moment of birth or death.'
'Yes, forlorn exercise and he'll get his for doing that to my creation.'
'He might eventually get his but meanwhile, what about those poor men, women and children? They're suffering.'
'I can only help them if they have their belief circuits switched on.'
'Well, make them switch them on.'
'That's not free will. Without free will, Man disintegrates as a life form. It's programmed in. You can't have it both ways. Either he's free or he's not. It's a fait accompli.'
'Well, what about the people with their belief circuits switched on? They're down there and suffering too.'
'Yep, they're being beamed up to the orbs soon.'
'Why not beam up all human beings?'
'I would.'
'The onboard beamer can only connect with someone with his belief circuit switched on. Look, Mick, I gave Man enough warning, didn't I? I sent down a piece of me to walk around and tell people that he who believes will be saved. What more can I do?'
'Most people don't believe John 3:16.'
'That's unfortunate. If they switched on their belief circuits, they'd be beamed up.'
'But that's murder, genocide.'
'So save them.'
'I am saving them. I've sent through the portal three billion orbs to take every man, woman and child out of the horror. All they have to do to be beamed up is -'
'Don't tell me – to switch on their belief circuits.'
'Right. I promised I'd come, I'm there, I'm waiting for them to switch them on.'
'And if they don't?'
'The portal has a time limit and when it closes, the orbs must return here with however many they've got on board.'
Hugh turned to the other five and said, 'That's all, folks.' He sat down and Emma gave him a drink.
There was silence all round.

Hi All,
I am new to spring and these days im preparing for developing a database driven web application using Spring. Can any one please explain what are the possible layers that this application can have? I think we need business logic layer and data access layer, then we could access data access layer through the business logic layer. so can we directly call methods of business layer from presentation layer?

Control or Not?
I just broke up with my boyfriend. The reason is I just don't like his character. He seems controlling, and I definitely find that unappealing. We talked about me wanting to put up an artwork in his new home. I mean, I don't even know if I want to paint; it has been so long. It was just a fun idea to think about. I don't even know if I would go through with it. I don't even know what to paint. It would probably take a year or so to think of something interesting to paint.
Anyway, he told me that the living room is off-limits and that he would have to judge my painting. You know, I hate restriction. The more restricted something is, the more I want to do it just to get back at that person.
It has occurred to me that this is not love because if you love someone, you would allow them to hang up anything on your wall no matter how crappy it looks. I mean it's just a wall. It's not like I wanted something big. I mean, if he can't even do this then I don't know how we can fit together. This is a big deal breaker.
He even compared me to the previous owner that still lives there where the husband allows his wife who is an artist to put her paintings on the wall.
He said it's because I am not like her, who happens to be an artist. Gee... thanks a lot. That is a real heart warming comment.
Is he being controlling? Have you ever been in a similar situation?

Former Contracting Executive Avoids Prison On Theft Charges
By: Ken Curtis
Updated: October 23, 2012
The former owner of a construction contracting business in Dothan has avoided prison and, instead, been ordered to serve probation for theft convictions.
Samuel Martin McCall, 50, was indicted in May, 2011 on charges he bilked two people out of money in relation to his now defunct business. McCall, earlier this year, was convicted in one case and admitted guilt in the other.
McCall was also ordered to pay restitution totaling more than $52,000 and, additionally, fines and other costs. In all, Circuit Judge J. Michael Conaway ordered McCall to pay almost $57,000.
McCall will serve 46 months on probation, according to court records.

Kevin Sbraga, the winner of the seventh season of Bravo TV's Top Chef, opened his first restaurant, Sbraga, with his wife and pastry chef Jesmary Sbraga, last October in Philadelphia.
The restaurant serves a four-course, fixed-price dinner for $49.
• Bryan and Michael Voltaggio talk new concepts
• Chefs discuss the art of becoming famous
• More food and beverage news
A native of nearby Willingboro, N.J., Sbraga studied at the Johnson & Wales campuses in Providence, R.I., and North Miami, Fla., before working at such properties as The Ritz-Carlton in Naples, Fla.; the restaurants Joël and Seeger's in Atlanta; Buckhead Life Restaurant Group in Atlanta; and Starr Restaurant Organization and the Garces Group in Philadelphia.
In 2008, he was a semifinalist in the Bocuse d'Or USA culinary competition.
He recently spoke with Nation's Restaurant News about his restaurant and how to get on Top Chef.
Tell me about Sbraga.
It's a 60-seat, modern American restaurant that bridges the gap between fine dining and casual.
How so?
It's more relaxed than a fine-dining restaurant. I don't think fine dining's dead, but I think it's changing and evolving. People don't want to sit for three hours; they don't want to spend $300 per person on a meal; they don't want stuffy service. I don't want to put on a suit for a meal. If I can put on jeans and a T-shirt I'm happy.
What dishes are popular at your restaurant?
They love my foie gras soup. We take garlic, ginger, shallots, lemongrass and Thai chiles, blend that into a paste, fry it in oil, deglaze it with brandy, then we deglaze with honey and let that caramelize. We add chicken stock, bring it to a simmer, and add a touch of cream. Then we finish it with a bunch of foie gras, and then we blend that up and serve it with pears and a rose petal relish.
It started as an accident. I had guests coming in and had to do something special for them, and that's what I did. At first I just garnished it with pears, but then I added the rose petals.
We also use local bluefish and take the approach of miso black cod, but we use an apple cider glaze. The cider controls the oiliness of the fish. We serve that with adzuki beans and bok choy kimchi.
Probably our biggest dish is the meat loaf. We take beef, veal and pork. Me make a mousse out of the veal and use that as a binding agent instead of breadcrumbs. There's diced foie gras in there to keep the moisture. That's cooked sous vide, and then we slice it down and sear it.
Continued from page 1
How many foie gras dishes do you serve?
Right now there are three, including a foie gras terrine appetizer. I wanted to take the soup off for the summer, but I got a lot of backlash.
What are you planning next?
My chef's counter opens on Aug. 6, serving six to eight courses for $75. We're going to start with a Top Chef menu. People are constantly asking for dishes from the finale. This is a way to give it to them for a couple of days and then move on to do what I want to do.
Do a lot of Top Chef fans come to the restaurant?
Yeah. I thought it would die after two months or three months, but they still come and want pictures. They get happy when they see me.
Are you usually there?
Whenever I'm not traveling I'm there. This summer I've been traveling more than normal, but from October to April I was there every single day. Since April, one week out of every month I'm gone, doing events and benefits. Come August I'll be there every day again.
If our readers want to get on Top Chef, how should they go about it?
Bravo has a link on their website and so does their production company, Magical Elves. Fill out an application and send in a video.
How did you make your video?
What's interesting is I missed the deadline. But I was referred by someone else who had won, and [Magical Elves] said, "If you get it in in the next three days, we'll take it." One of my cooks took the video. It was of me cooking, me talking in the walk-in and me waking up my daughter. My wife did that part.
Which previous winner referred you?
Michael Voltaggio. We worked together in the Ritz-Carlton, Naples, [Fla.], from 2000 to 2003.
What culinary trends do you see in Philadelphia?
I don't think Philadelphians follow trends. They just want deliciousness, and with trends, people focus on the trend first and then whether it tastes good.
But I love to come to New York, eat, hang out and get inspired by it.
Where are you eating while you're here?
[Chef Alex Stupak's restaurant] Empellon.

Zach Bauman was spurned by former ASU coach Dennis Erickson and former Arizona coach Mike Stoops, in-part because of his size, but he's set schools records at NAU.
