Most of the material I've presented in this thread is covered extensively in Icke's books. Here's a link to his bookshop:
Here's another useful thread on the DI forum dealing with the best books on the topic of Reptilians:
A rotating animation of the human brain showing the left frontal lobe in red within a semitransparent skull. The right cerebral hemisphere is not shown as if it was cut away. The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is sometimes also included in the frontal lobe (e.g. [1]). Other authors include the ACC as a part of limbic lobe (e.g. [2]). This animation has taken the latter approach following two reference books, an electronic version of Talairach and Tournoux (1988)[3] and Ono (1990)[4].

However if so then it might mean there are various factions among the reptilians and not all are bad since we know the Annunaki fought amongst themselves as to whether we would be an intelligent, independent species or their ignorant slaves.
The reptiles verily descend,
The Earth is resplendent as a well watered garden,
At that time Enki and Eridu had not appeared,
Daylight did not shine,
Moonlight had not emerged.
He has essayed the first edition of an
enigmatic fragment from pre-Sargonic Lagas
variously described as a hymn to Sun or a lamen-
tation over the destruction of Lagas but which
is in fact one of the oldest pieces of Sumerian
mythology, if not the oldest, yet known.
Paraphrasing his translation, we read:
The reptiles verily descend The earth verily makes its ... (breast?) appear
It is the garden, it is the foundation-terrace
(Which) the earth-hole for its part fills with
An (Heaven) is the lord, he is stationed like a
young hero
Heaven and Earth cry out together
At that time Enki and Eridu had not appeared
Enlil did not exist
Ninlil did not exist
Brightness was dust
Vegetation was dust
The daylight did not shine
The moonlight did not emerge.
"Professor Kramer on Enki's fruit tree garden at Eridu, note that Enki (Ea) is described as a WALKING, TALKING, GREAT USHUMGAL "_SEPENT/DRAGON_," WHO IS _CUNNING AND WISE_ AND ASSOCIATED WITH PLANTING A GARDEN OF FRUIT-TREES AT ERIDU WHERE LIVES ADAPA. Eden's serpent could walk and talk and was associated with a garden full of fruit trees planted on the earth by _a_ god (Yahweh) and the serpent (the New Testament's "serpent/dragon") famed for his "cunning" and "wisdom" (cf. Matthew 10:16 "...be ye therefore WISE AS A SERPENT..."). Perhaps the mes-tree planted by the CUNNING and WISE GREAT USHUMGAL has been transformed by the Hebrews into the "Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil"?
"Lord who walks nobly on heaven and earth, self-reliant,
father Enki, engendered by a bull,
begotten by a wild bull...king, who turned out the mes-tree in the Abzu,
raised it up over all the lands,
who planted it in Eridu-
its shade spreading over heaven and earth-
A GROVE OF FRUIT TREES stretching over the land...
Enki...lord of wisdom...you have given the people a place to live...you have looked after them...
Enki, king of the Abzu, celebrates his own magnificance
as is right...
I am lord, I am the one whose word endures.
I am eternal..."
Ušumgal-"Grand Dragons," later Sumerian term for their gods and sovereigns; descended from Kingú-Babbar; creators of the Annuna and other races.
--Sumerologist, Anton Parks
Enlil in the E-kur (Enlil A): c.4.05.1
He alone is the prince of heaven, the dragon of the earth. The lofty god of the Anuna himself determines the fates. No god can look upon him. His great minister and { commander } { (1 ms. has instead chief barber } Nuska learns his commands and his intentions from him, consults with him and then executes his far-reaching instructions on his behalf. He prays to him with holy prayers (?) and divine powers (?).
The most significant Sumerian term used to describe the flying serpent with flaming breath was U-SHUM-GAL, which was a common epithet for the great god ENKI and other major gods. Modern translations render the composite word as 'dragon' without further comment. It is also translated as dragon in the in the recently published Sumerian dictionary (volume 2) of the university of Pennsylvania. Scholars seem so perplexed by the meaning of U-SHUM-GAL that they have opted to take the easy way out and just leave it as 'dragon'.
--RA Boulay "Flying serpents and dragons"
It is argued that Eden's Serpent is a _recast_ of several Mesopotamian gods, some bearing the Sumerian epithet ushumgal, or usumgal, a combining of two words: ushum = "serpent," gal = "great," variously translated as "great serpent," "dragon," or "serpent-dragon," who were held responsible in differing myths for:
(1) man's creation; (2) man's being denied knowledge; (3) creating a fruit tree garden in edin/eden for man to care for on their behalf; (4) man's being warned not to eat forbidden food or he would die; (5) man's being offered forbidden food; (6) man's acquistion of "god-forbidden knowledge";(7) man's being denied immortality; (8) the removal of "man" from a god's garden in edin/eden for rebellion because of a walking, talking, conning "serpent's" (ushumgal's) actions.
--Walter Reinhold, "Eden's Serpent: Its Mesopotamian Origins"
Akkadian/Babylonian Ea in his earlier manifestation as Sumerian god Enki bore the Sumerian epithet ushumgal, meaning either "great serpent" or "great serpent-dragon," a mythological beast of reddish color with four legs, two horns, wings and scales. Ea/Enki created man to care for his city-garden at Eridu surrounded by the edin.
--Walter Reinhold, "Eden's Serpent: Its Mesopotamian Origins"
"His body was like chrysolite, his face like lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude"

But, even the Off Worlders and concepts that were spread by Aramu Muru (including up into North and through out South Americas) were Serpentine based. I suggest further research into Aramu Muru might provide the answers and further pieces to the puzzle of the connection between the Annunaki and Reptilians and other world cultures pre-flood era. There was even a "lost City" of Aramu Muru that was found in Peru that matches almost stone for stone with one of the Sumerian Cities. Just have to remove all the moss and over growth.

There's the stories that we were created in the image of the Gods.
On the other hand there are numerous stories of serpents and reptile like creatures. The theory behind the reptilians is that they can shape change. How can that be? Or do they use some device that makes us see them differently?
Then again, how could a reptilian species mate with humans as it seems they must have done?

"Various high-level Satanists who have escaped from the Illuminati by God's power were eyewitnesses to Satan appearing at the Rothchilds. They testified they witnessed Satan showing up at the Rothchilds as a very beautiful man who can shape shift, (at times his feet would be cloven hoofs). He wears a black tuxedo to gamble and play cards (winnings are sexual victims) & a white tuxedo when present just to socialize. He can also shape shift into a reptilian. As a sincere researcher, I must report that lots of info about shape shifting reps has confronted me in so many independent places in such a wide variety of historical periods that this bizarre topic must have some importance. I've withheld my findings for years, because I feel quite tentative about my results. David Icke gives details of this strange topic & his bold views in The Biggest Secret."
--Fritz Springmeier, "Bloodlines of the Illuminati"
In a period of about 15 days in 1998 I met 12 separate people in different locations around the United States, from very contrasting backgrounds, who told me the same basic story of seeing a 'human' change or 'shape-shift' into a reptilian form before their eyes.
Among them were two television interviewers who saw their guest, a supporter of the New World Order agenda, shape-shift from 'human' to reptilian. Afterwards one said he had been shocked to see the man's face turn reptilian and the other, equally shocked, said that she had seen his hands take on a reptilian appearance. A friend of one of the presenters was a policeman in Denver, Colorado, a major Illuminati and Satanic centre, where reptilian gargoyles (an Illuminati code) and Freemasonic imagery adorn the Denver Airport.
The policeman had made a routine visit to an office block in Aurora, near Denver, and commented to an executive of one of the companies there about the high level of security in the building. She said that he should look at the upper floors if he wanted to see some real security. She pointed to a lift that only went to the higher floors and she told him of an astonishing experience she had some weeks earlier. The lift had opened and a strange figure emerged. He was albino-white with a face shaped like a lizard and eyes with pupils that were vertical like a reptile's.
I was to hear many such descriptions in the months ahead. This white lizard figure had walked out of the restricted lift, she said, and into an official-looking car. The policeman was so intrigued by the story and the building that he made investigations into the companies in the upper floors. According to his friend, he said he found them all to be fronts for the Central Intelligence Agency, the CIA.
--David Icke, "Tales from the Time loop"
"Some people say that they transform -- that they mutate or change their own real forms. I don't accept that as accurate. I don't believe they really look like a blond, and they do something to trick you and then they suddenly look like a reptilian. I think that what they alter is human perception. They certainly can project false images -- just as Ted's [Ted Rice's] grandmother was shown her dead husband, so that she would consent to have a sexual encounter. Ted's grandfather had been dead for six years. And in the middle of having the encounter with what she thought was her restored husband, the image disappeared -- I suppose because the aliens wanted to get the "emotional juice" from her -- and she saw a 'reptoid' on top of her. We also have heard stories about military people being present during abduction, and when people focus on them, they change. Budd Hopkins tells a story about a person who saw a military policeman. He wondered why on Earth the MP was there, and tried to focus very carefully on him. When he did so, the MP changed, before his eyes, into an officer of high rank, and then into a NAZI officer."

"Female milabs and female monarchs [CIA MK-ULTRA mind control program] have both reported encounters with reptilians and with humans shapeshifting into reptilians. (The phenomenon known as "shapeshifting" was well known long before David Icke's seminal works on the subject. Some of the earliest reported instances of shapeshifting involved not humans but "nordic" aliens shapeshifting into reptilians. Reptilians have also been known to disguise themselves as "tall greys" and even human military personnel.) Milabs tend to have more experiences with Greys, Nordics, Insectoids and other types of aliens as compared to monarchs. Milabs have been used by both aliens and their military controllers to operate complex technology."

"Not only could Bundy's personality change at a moment's notice, but his physical appearance could as well. Bundy had a chameleon-like ability to alter his appearance, an ability that is clearly displayed in the numerous photos of him that grace the pages of the various books he has inspired. A neighbor of his in Florida once offered this observation: "He always looked different...I don't know, sometimes he just didn't even look like the same person at all." Diana Smith, a therapist and Bundy family friend, wondered how Ted could "be so many different things to so many different people."
"An investigator on the Bundy case, Joe Aloi, claimed that he once observed Bundy react to a particularly stressful situation by spontaneously, and quite radically, altering his physical appearance; Ted's body and muscle tone changed markedly, and he suddenly became sweaty and began emitting a noticeable odor."
"The judge who presided over Ted's Colorado trial referred to him as a "changeling," noting the unsettling way in which his appearance could change dramatically with his mood. The judge drew a comparison to Vincent Bugliosi's description of Charles Manson's similar ability. Bugliosi was not the only one to make that observation about Manson; disciple Susan Atkins once said: "Charlie changes from second to second. He can be anybody he wants to be. He can put on any face he wants to put on at any given moment."

See the photo below? The message on her arm was written in an "ink" invisible to the human eye. Does it mean the writing is not there? No, of course not, it just means that it "exists" in a spectrum of light which we cannot see unassisted.
When an alternate light source is applied, in this case black light, (humans cannot see anything above violet light) suddenly it's perfectly visible.
This is exactly how the reptilian energy works. They exist in a frequency which we cannot see, although some people are gifted with the ability to see into other dimensions...this is when they see "ghosts" and of course reptilians.
Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they don't exist. The human eye is virtually blind and if you are going to depend on your eyes as the the jurors of truth, you've already failed yourself.
"The Reptilians and other non-human entities operate in the realms unseen by
human sight. When they do move in and out of our tiny frequency range they
seem, to human witnesses, to suddenly 'appear' and 'disappear', but, in fact, they
have only entered our frequency range and then left. They have not disappeared,
just exited the frequencies that our limited sense of sight can access."
Anonymous Rex is an original movie made for the Sci Fi TV channel, directed by Julian Jarrold and adapted to film by Joe Menosky from the novel Casual Rex by Eric Garcia. The premise of the film is that dinosaurs did not die off, but faked their extinction and now live among humans in disguise. In the past they wore latex suits, but they now use holographic disguises to mask their appearance and coexist with humans without persecution.
"The Chinese, Korean and Japanese speak throughout their history of Lóng (Yong in Korean, Ryu in Japanese) or dragons, conceived of in both physical and non-physical forms, but rarely depicted in humanoid form, though they may assume a non-reptilian human form."
"In the religion and cultural lore of Southwestern tribes, there are witches known as skinwalkers who can alter their shapes at will to assume the characteristics of certain animals. Most of the world's cultures have their own shapeshifter legends."
"..In the American Southwest, the Navajo, Hopi, Utes, and other tribes each have their own version of the skinwalker story, but basically they boil down to the same thing - a malevolent witch capable of transforming itself into a wolf, coyote, bear, bird, or any other animal. The witch might wear the hide or skin of the animal identity it wants to assume, and when the transformation is complete, the human witch inherits the speed, strength, or cunning of the animal whose shape it has taken."
"The Navajo skinwalkers use mind control to make their victims do things to hurt themselves and even end their lives," writes Doug Hickman, a New Mexico educator. "The skinwalker is a very powerful witch. They can run faster than a car and can jump mesa cliffs without any effort at all."
"..For the Navajo and other tribes of the southwest, the tales of skinwalkers are not mere legend. Just ask Michael Stuhff. A Nevada attorney, Stuhff is likely one of the few lawyers in the history of American jurisprudence to file legal papers against a Navajo witch. He has often represented Native Americans in his practice. He understands Indian law and has earned the trust of his Native American clients, in large part because he knows and respects tribal religious beliefs."

Procopius Caesarensis in his Secret History (ch. 12) gives an account about the shapeshifting of Emperor Justinian I:
And some of those who have been with Justinian at the palace late at night, men who were pure of spirit, have thought they saw a strange demoniac form taking his place. One man said that the Emperor suddenly rose from his throne and walked about, and indeed he was never wont to remain sitting for long, and immediately Justinian's head vanished, while the rest of his body seemed to ebb and flow; whereat the beholder stood aghast and fearful, wondering if his eyes were deceiving him. But presently he perceived the vanished head filling out and joining the body again as strangely as it had left it. Another said he stood beside the Emperor as he sat, and of a sudden the face changed into a shapeless mass of flesh, with neither eyebrows nor eyes in their proper places, nor any other distinguishing feature; and after a time the natural appearance of his countenance returned. I write these instances not as one who saw them myself, but heard them from men who were positive they had seen these strange occurrences at the time.
They also say that a certain monk, very dear to God, at the instance of those who dwelt with him in the desert went to Constantinople to beg for mercy to his neighbors who had been outraged beyond endurance. And when he arrived there, he forthwith secured an audience with the Emperor; but just as he was about to enter his apartment, he stopped short as his feet were on the threshold, and suddenly stepped backward. Whereupon the eunuch escorting him, and others who were present, importuned him to go ahead. But he answered not a word; and like a man who has had a stroke staggered back to his lodging. And when some followed to ask why he acted thus, they say he distinctly declared he saw the King of the Devils sitting on the throne in the palace, and he did not care to meet or ask any favor of him.

"The Nagas are described as a very advanced race or species, with a highly-developed technology. They also harbor a disdain for human beings, whom they are said to abduct, torture, interbreed with, and even to eat. The interbreeding has supposedly led to a wide variety of forms, ranging from completely reptilian to nearly-human in appearance. Among their many devices are 'death rays' and 'vimana', or flying, disk-shaped aerial craft. These craft are described at length in many ancient Vedic texts, including the Bhagavad-Gita and the Ramayana. The Naga race is related to another underworld race, the Hindu demons, or Rakshasas."
--Michael Mott, "Caverns, cauldrons and concealed creatures"
"The Book of Dzyan tells of how a reptilian race it calls the Sarpa or Great Dragons came from the skies to bring civilization to the world. A deluge, the Biblical Great Flood, ended the Golden Age, it says, but the serpent gods survived and returned to rule. They are described symbolically as having the face of a human, but the tail of a dragon."
--David Icke, "Tales from the time loop"
"The Nagas are a race of serpent beings. Most often they manifest themselves with half-man, half-serpent bodies, although sometimes they assume the shape of a dragon, or appear in the guise of a cobra. They can take many different forms including snakes, humans with snake tails and normal humans, often beautiful maidens."
In India, there is still a strong belief in the reality of Nagas - a race of "serpent people" or "lizard men" who have made their homes in two major underground cities (or civilisations), Bhogavati and Patala.
Bhogavati is believed to be underneath the Himalayas, and it is said that from there the Nagas wage war on other human subterraneans from the subsurface kingdoms of Agharta and Shambala.
Patala is believed by millions of Hindus to this day to have an entrance in the Well of Sheshna in Benares. According to herpetologist and author Sherman A. Minton in his book Venemous Reptiles, this entrance is very real, having 40 steps which descend into a circular depression and then terminate at a closed stone door covered in bas-relief cobras. In Tibet there is a major mystical shrine, also called Patala, which is said by the people there to sit atop an ancient cavern and tunnel system which reaches throughout the Asian continent and possibly beyond.

In the form of man moved they amongst us, but only to sight [visible light spectrum], were they as are men. Serpent-headed when the glamour was lifted, but appearing to man as men among men. Crept they into the councils, taking form that were like unto men. Slaying by their arts the chiefs of the kingdoms, taking their form and ruling o'er man. Only by magic could they be discovered, only by sound could their faces be seen. Sought they from the kingdom of shadows, to destroy man and rule in his place."

as long ago as 1971 that the world was controlled by a force which could manifest in

Steytlerville 'monster' strikes again
2011-04-25 22:44
Johannesburg - A 'monster' plaguing the sleepy Karoo town of Steytlerville struck again over the Easter weekend, Eastern Cape police said on Monday.
Another two sightings of the "shape-shifting creature" were reported on Sunday evening, said Warrant Officer Zandisile Nelani .
"Two men were walking near a tavern when they saw another man wearing a black jacket. One of the men, identified only as Nozipho, went up to the stranger and asked him, "What is your problem?" said Nelani.
A dog or a cow?
When the stranger did not respond, Nozipho went closer and saw that the man had no head. The man then turned into a dog that was "very angry" and "as big as a cow", Nelani said.
He said that as Nozipho and his friend ran away, the monster allegedly turned on another group of people in the same road. "They said it turned into a big monkey, and then it was gone," Nelani said.
The Glasses Are An Allegory For LSD
In the scene where Roddy gets the contacts, he is told they are called Hoffman's. A reference to Albert Hoffman, the chemist who originally synthesized LSD. Acid lets you see aliens.
Hunter S. Thompson in his book, Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, describes seeing reptiles while in a drugged condition and a guy I met in the United States (in those 15 days I mentioned earlier) told me a similar story. He 'tripped' on large amounts of LSD in the 1960s and in his seriously mind-altered state he would see some people as humans and others as humanoid lizards and other reptiles. For a while he believed that he was merely hallucinating, but as a regular 'tripper' at high doses he began to realize that what he was seeing, usually by the third day of a five-day 'trip', was not an hallucination, but the vibratory veils lifting which allowed him to see beyond the physical to the force controlling the person.
In these moments the same people always had lizard features and the same people always looked human. They never switched. He also began to observe that those around him who appeared lizard-like in his altered state always seemed to react the same to movies, television programmes, etc. "We used to laugh and say 'here come the lizards'," he told me.

"There's another which people..which abductees talk about that they see onboard the ships and these are tall beings and they assume different forms. Sometimes they can appear as reptilian, other times they can appear as insectoid, other times they can appear as Nordic, in other words in my opinion their shapeshifters. Now why would I say that? What backs it up? There's a scripture from our spiritual handbook (2 Corinthians 11:14) which says that basically fallen angels can appear as angels of light if they so choose. Okay, they can appear as angels of light if they so choose...That's a shapeshifter, but it shapeshifts, it can appear as whatever it wants to appear, insectoid, reptilian, who knows what the thing really looks like, in my opinion it's probably a reptilian."

Shortly after this meeting, I was introduced through a third party to the healer, Christine Fitzgerald, who, as acknowledged in the tabloid media, was a close confidant of Princess Diana for some nine years. You can read the full story of what she told me in The Biggest Secret.
She knew nothing whatsoever of my then unpublished reptilian research, but a little way into our conversation she told me that Diana called the Windsors "the Reptiles" and "the Lizards" and used to say, "They're not human".
Christine went on to tell me that the Windsors were a reptilian hybrid bloodline and how they had treated Diana in ways that were beyond the imagination. At the centre of this circle, she said, was the late Queen Mother, Christine told me that Princess Diana used to call the Queen Mother "evil".
Christine said:
"...The different bodies are just different electrical vibrations and they have got that secret; they've got the secret of the micro-currents; it's so micro, so specific, these radio waves that actually create the bodies. These are the energies I work with when I'm healing.
"They know the vibration of life and because they're cold-blooded, they are reptiles, they have no wish to make the Earth the perfect harmony it could be, or to heal the Earth from the damage that's been done. The Earth's been attacked for eons by different extraterrestrials. It's been like a football for so long. This place is a bus stop for many different aliens. All these aliens, they could cope with anything, including the noxious gases.
They're landing all the time and coming up from the bowels of the Earth. They looked like reptiles originally, but they look like us when they get out now through the electrical vibration, that key to life I talked about. They can manifest how they want to. All the real knowledge has been taken out and shredded and put back in another way. The Queen Mother is 'Chief Toad' of this part of Europe and they have people like her in every continent. Most people, the hangers on, don't know, you know, about the reptiles. They are just in awe of these people because they are so powerful."
"The president of Mexico in the 1980s, Miguel De La Madrid also used Cathy in her mind controlled state. She said he told her the legend of the Iguana and explained that lizard-like extraterrestrials had descended upon the Mayans in Mexico. The Mayan pyramids, their advanced astronomical technology and the sacrifice of virgins, was inspired by lizard-like aliens, he told her. He added that these reptilians interbred with the Mayans to produce a form of life they could inhabit. De La Madrid told Cathy that these reptile-human bloodlines could fluctuate between a human and iguana appearance through chameleon-like abilities - "a perfect vehicle for transforming into world leaders", he said. De la Madrid claimed to have Mayan-lizard ancestry in his blood which allowed him to transform back to an iguana at will. He then changed before her eyes, as Bush had, and appeared to have a lizard-like tongue and eyes." Cathy understandably believed this to be another holographic projection, but was it really? Or was De La Madrid saying something very close to the truth?"

"In the darkness around me I could hear Bill Bennett talking: 'This is my brother, Bob. He and I work as one unit. We are alien to this dimension - two beings from another plane.'
"The hightech light display swirling around me convinced me I was transforming dimensions with them. A laser of light hit the black wall in front of me, which seemed to explode into a panoramic view of a White House cocktail party - as though I had transformed dimensions and stood amongst them. Not recognizing anyone, I frantically asked: 'Who are these people?'
"They're not people and this isn't a spaceship', Bennett said. As he spoke, the holographic scene changed ever so slightly until the people appeared to be lizard-like aliens. 'Welcome to the second level of the underground. This is a mere mirror reflection of the first, an alien dimension. We are from a trans-dimensional plane that spans and encompasses all dimensions...'
"I have taken you through my dimension as a means of establishing stronger holds on your mind than the Earth plane permits,' Bill Bennett was saying. 'Being alien, I simply make my thoughts your thoughts by projecting them into your mind. My thoughts are your thoughts.
--Cathy O'Brien "Tranceformation of America"
Cathy writes in Trance Formation Of America of how George Bush was sitting in front of her in his office in Washington DC when he opened a book at a page depicting "lizard-like aliens from a far off, deep space place." Bush then claimed to be an 'alien' himself and appeared, before her eyes, to transform 'like a chameleon' into a reptile. Cathy believed that some kind of hologram had been activated to achieve this and from her understanding at the time I can see why she rationalized her experience in this way.
--David Icke paraphrasing Cathy O'brien from "Tranceformation of America"
"Diane Gould, head of the US organization, Mothers Against Ritual Abuse, also confirms this theme. In a telephone conversation about ritual abuse, Diane asked me if I could explain why many of her clients reported that participants in their rituals had turned into reptiles. As I was writing this book, another therapist I met in Texas told me of similar accounts by her clients who had suffered in Satanic rituals and she said they had mentioned the familiar famous names to her with regard to the rituals, including Tony Blair."
Rothschild', sometimes taken literally to mean 'Red-shield' from the legend of the beginnings of the first family of international banking which states that Mayer Amschel Bauer, the money-changer forefather of the Rothschild family, in the mid eighteenth century hung a red shield outside his business house in Frankfurt, the German word for red being "Roth", the German word for Shield at that time being "schild". This legend lingers on and yet the route of the word shield through old English and old German is almost identical in both form and meaning to the word 'scale', or 'scaled', being something like this…[\Shield a : a device or part that serves as a protective cover or barrier b : a protective structure (as a carapace, scale, or plate) of some animals , n.

Unfortunately etymology, technical and comparative language isn't my strong suit, and it's somewhat like trespassing in the pedants playground. Yet if the name fits wear it, for whatever reasons of synchronicity it seems "Red-scales" or "Red-scaled", implying dragon like qualities that include legendary avarice and accumulated wealth are the most appropriate and fitting descriptions for the owners of the greatest fortune ever amassed, as theirs is argued to be.)
"While scientists are proud of their cataloging approximately two and a half million life forms, they reservedly estimate the total number of life forms to be approximately between 100 million and 150 million! That means that our scientists have only encountered about three percent of all the terrestrial life with which we share this planet."
Approximately 21.500 birds, reptiles and mammals have been discovered and classified by scientists. There are approximately 837 more that are suspected to be alive on Earth, but that have had absolutely no contact with humans"

" DRAGONHEART " starring Dennis Quaid and the voice of Sean Connery as the dragon, echoes this same sentiment. The film ends with the hero gazing towards the stars where the dragon is reunited with his kind."
".Dragonheart is a 1996 fantasy adventure film directed by Rob Cohen. It stars Dennis Quaid, David Thewlis, Pete Postlethwaite, Dina Meyer, and the voice of Sean Connery. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects and various other awards in 1996 and 1997. The film also inspired a direct-to-video sequel, Dragonheart: A New Beginning.."
"..In 984 England, the knight Bowen (Dennis Quaid) mentors Saxon prince Einon (Lee Oakes) in the ideals of chivalry in the hope that he will become a better king than his tyrannical father. When the king is killed while suppressing a peasant rebellion, Einon rushes to claim his crown and is accidentally mortally wounded by the peasant girl Kara (Sandra Kovacicova). Einon's mother, Queen Aislinn (Julie Christie), has him taken before a dragon whom she implores to save his life. The dragon replaces Einon's damaged heart with a piece of its own on the promise that Einon will rule with justice and virtue. However, Einon soon becomes as tyrannical as his father, enslaving the former rebels and forcing them to rebuild a Roman castle. Bowen believes that the dragon's heart has twisted Einon, and swears vengeance on all dragons."
"..Bowen stalks another dragon to its cave, but the confrontation ends in a stalemate. The dragon (voiced by Sean Connery) states that it is the last of its kind, and thus if Bowen kills it he will be out of a job. The two form a partnership to defraud local villagers with staged dragon-slayings. Bowen calls the dragon Draco, after the constellation of stars....Kara tries to rally the villagers against Einon, but they instead offer her as a sacrifice to Draco, who takes her to his lair.."
"..Bowen and Draco's next staged dragon-slaying goes poorly and their con is exposed. Draco takes Bowen, Kara, and Gilbert to Avalon, where they take shelter among the tombs of the Knights of the Round Table. Draco reveals the connection between himself and Einon, stating that he hoped giving the prince a piece of his heart would change Einon's nature and reunite the races of Man and Dragon. Through this action Draco hoped to earn a place in his namesake constellation, which is a heaven for dragons who prove their worth.
Zane Zaminski (Charlie Sheen), a radio astronomer working for SETI, discovers a extraterrestrial radio signal from Wolf 336, a star 14 light years from Earth. Zane reports this to his supervisor, Phil Gordian (Ron Silver) at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, but Phil dismisses the claims. Zane soon finds that he has been fired over supposed budget cuts, and his name blacklisted preventing him from working at other telescopes. Employed as a residential satellite technician, he creates his own telescope array using an array of his customers' dishes, operating it discreetly from his attic with help of the next-door neighbor boy, Kiki.
Zane relocates the signal, but it is soon drowned out by a terrestrial signal from a Mexican radio station. Zane attempts to tell this to his former coworker, Calvin (Richard Schiff), but finds he has just died suspiciously from carbon monoxide poisoning. Zane travels to Mexico, and finds the radio station recently burnt to the ground. Searching the local area, he comes across a recently built power plant. There, he attempts to help climatologist Ilana Green (Lindsay Crouse) in protecting her atmospheric analysis equipment from the plant's security forces under claims of being on private property, but he is taken into custody as well. There, Ilana explains that the Earth's temperature has risen several degrees in the last few years, exposing the ground in the Arctic Circle, and is investigating the power plant, one of several recently built that appear to be the cause of this increase [The Global Warming scam?]. The two are let go without Ilana's equipment, but not before Zane recognizes one of the guards that looks similar to Phil. As Zane and Ilana regroup and discuss their individual findings, Phil instructs agents, posing as gardeners, to release an alien device in Zane's attic that creates a miniature black hole and consumes all of Zane's equipment before disappearing. Zane leaves Ilana for the evening and goes to investigate the power plant, unaware that she is soon killed by a deadly scorpion planted in her room.
At the plant, Zane discovers it is a front for a large underground alien base. The aliens, though humanoid, are able to disguise themselves with an external skin to look human and infiltrate into society. Zane finds the bases periodically expels large amounts of emissions into the atmosphere.Zane is quickly discovered but escapes back into the nearby town, and attempts to convince the local officer of the issue. However, the disguised guards soon bring Ilana's body to the police station, making Zane a suspect in her death; Zane escapes and smuggles himself back into the United States. He accosts Phil on the JPL grounds, forcing Phil to admit that the aliens are trying to raise the Earth's temperature to not only kill off humans but make the planet hospitable for themselves. Unknown to Phil at the time, Zane had planted a recording device to capture this conversation; Phil sends his agents to try to stop Zane once he discovers this.
Zane returns home to find his equipment missing, and determines the only way to broadcast the tape is to travel to a nearby telescope and beam the signal directly to a television satellite to broadcast it around the world. With the help of his girlfriend Char (Teri Polo) and Kiki, he travels to the telescope. Phil and his agents soon arrive, disabling control of the telescope from the main control room. Zane leaves the tape with Kiki and instructs him to transmit it when he gives the order, and then he and Char sneak over to the telescope's base and bar themselves in the control room. Zane makes the necessary adjustments and tells Kiki to active the tape, but Kiki reveals himself to be an alien agent, and opens the door to allow Phil inside and confiscate the tape himself.
Phil and his agents ram down the door to the telescope room with a van, but Zane freezes them with cryogenic gases. As he works to free the tape stuck in Phil's frozen jacket, one of the agents drops a spherical device that begins to create another singularity within the room. Zane and Char escape through the telescope's optical path before the device consumes most of the telescope base, safely recovering on the collapsed dish. There, they see Kiki, and Zane tells him to tell the aliens that he will soon broadcast this tape; they watch as Kiki runs off. In the film's epilogue, Zane's conversation with Phil is broadcasted across the globe.
" ENEMY MINE " Starring Dennis Quaid and Louis Gosset Jr. The motion picture, depicts a reptilian and earth human as enemies, drawn together by mutual survival. A strong emphasis is placed on the human characters determination to examine the reptilian "aliens" ancestry, culture and his own ability to transcend fear and hatred of the unknown. Although different in physiology, the human and reptilian characters discover that their religious beliefs are linked by commonalties. The film also touches upon the androgynous physical characteristics of the humanoid-reptilians when the "Drac" gives birth to a child. The promotional poster for the films says it best... "Enemies because they were taught to be....Allies because they had to be, Brothers because they dared to be" This film is must see!"
"Enemy Mine is a 1985 science fiction film based on the story of the same title by Barry B. Longyear. It was produced by 20th Century Fox, directed by Wolfgang Petersen, and starred Dennis Quaid and Louis Gossett, Jr."
"In the late 21st century, an interstellar war between humans (associated as the Bilateral Terran Alliance, or BTA) and Dracs (a reptilian humanoid race) is being fought.On July 11, 2092, Human pilot Willis E. Davidge (Dennis Quaid) and Drac pilot Jeriba Shigan (Louis Gossett, Jr.) engage in a spacecraft battle which results in both crash-landing on Fyrine IV, a strange, dark alien world with two moons, a breathable atmosphere, water, and bizarre animal life. After initial hostilities, the two eventually learn to cooperate in order to survive.
...Davidge, haunted by dreams of spaceships landing on the planet, leaves in search of help. He finds signs of a human presence, but learns that the planet has been periodically visited by human miners known as "Scavengers," who employ Dracs as slave labor [the story has been switched here]. He returns to warn Jeriba (whom Davidge nicknames "Jerry") only to discover that Jeriba is pregnant; (Dracs reproduce asexually with no control over timing of conception)."
" V " the made for television movie and series. Humans become threatened by a deceitful race of reptilians who arrive disguised as harbingers of peace, befriend human authorities and end up fighting groups of non-believing militia in the name of law and order. (NOTE: It is curious to note that two unaired episodes contained scenes which incorporated two concepts regarding the reptilian alien phenomena that have only recently come to light within the UFO research community. a) A second division of the reptilian alien race exists which are benevolent in their actions, are allies of the human "non-believers" and sworn enemies of the "visitor" aggressive reptilians, and b) the reptilian aliens were shown slipping back and forth from an alternate dimension. These two concepts, although never presented to the public, later surfaced as key factors regarding the modern reptilian alien perspective.)"
"V (or V: The Original Miniseries) is a two-part science fiction television miniseries, written and directed by Kenneth Johnson. First shown in 1983, it initiated the science fiction franchise concerning aliens known as "The Visitors" trying to gain control of Earth."
"A race of aliens arrive on Earth in a fleet of 50 huge, saucer-shaped motherships, which hover over major cities across the world. They reveal themselves on the roof of the United Nations building in New York City, appearing human but requiring special glasses to protect their eyes and having a distinctive resonance to their voices. Referred to as the Visitors, they reach out in friendship, ostensibly seeking the help of humans to obtain chemicals and minerals needed to aid their ailing world. In return, the Visitors promise to share their advanced technology with humanity. The governments of Earth accept the arrangement, and the Visitors, commanded by their leader John and his deputy Diana, begin to gain considerable influence with human authorities.
...Television journalist cameraman Michael Donovan covertly boards one of the Visitors' motherships and discovers that beneath their human-like facade (they wear a thin, synthetic skin and human-like contact lenses in public), the aliens are actually carnivorous reptilian humanoids preferring to eat live food such as rodents and birds. Donovan records some of his findings on videotape and escapes from the mothership with the evidence, but just as the exposé is about to air on television, the broadcast is interrupted by the Visitors who have taken control of the media. Their announcement makes Donovan a fugitive, pursued by both the police and the Visitors.
..Scientists around the world continue to be persecuted, both to discredit them (as the part of the human population most likely to discover the Visitors' secrets) and to distract the rest of the population with a scapegoat to whom they could attribute their fears."
Years ago (2006) when I started seeking info. on a very cold case I happened upon a number of psychics. If you read Michelle Whitedove's books you will know she writes about "seeing" a reptilian shapeshift and is a very gifted psychic who won America's Psychic Challenge beating out 16,000 psychics to even be in the challenge and then win. David Icke is telling the truth when he states that very gifted psychics can see the reptilian shapeshift. It's probably like seeing someone's aura/soul. Some can see; some cannot. Personally I believe because after all where do Gargoyles come from. Or in the book Slow Death the guy draws pics of a giant lizard torturing women-this is a true story that was on Monte. Also Mothers Against Satanic Ritual Abuse stated the victims were synonymous on seeing reptilian shapeshifts, and in The Girl Who Played With Fire a reptilian shapeshift is described of lisbeth Salander by her very, very psychic 1/2 brother. Too many mentions to discount.
" DREAMSCAPE " (1984) Starring Dennis Quaid, Max von Sydow, Christopher Plummer, Eddie Albert, Kate Capshaw and George Wendt. A psychic (Dennis Quaid) avoids using his powers to live a normal life. An old colleague conducting "Dreamlinking" research (projecting one's consciousness into another persons dream) gets Quaid to participate. Another psychic participant begins to murder people through their dreams. Quaid fights the murdering psychic in the Presidents dream. As they battle, the murderer assumes the shape of a humanoid-reptilian, attacking Quaid with extreme ferocity."
"Psychic Alex Gardner (Dennis Quaid) was the 19-year-old prime subject of a scientific research project documenting his psychic ability, but in the midst of the study he disappeared and has since been using his talents solely for personal gain, which lately consists mainly of gambling and womanizing.
...Alex is blackmailed into joining Novotny's project that he (Novotny) intended to use for a benevolent purpose as a clinic to diagnose and treat sleep disorders, particularly in the form of nightmares, but the project has been hijacked by Bob Blair (Christopher Plummer), a powerful government agent with possible CIA ties, though it is never clearly revealed in the film. Alex eventually discovers that he is actually involved in a U.S. government-funded project to use this dream-linking technique for assassination."
"To Serve Man" is a science fiction short story written by Damon Knight. It first appeared in the November 1950 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction and has been reprinted a number of times, including in Frontiers in Space (1955), Far Out (1961) and The Best of Damon Knight (1976).[1] The title is a double entendre, meaning either "to perform a service for humanity" or "to serve a human as food."
"..The story is set in what appears to be the present time (i.e., 1950), in cold war America, and is told in first-person narrative by a United Nations translator. The story opens at a special session of the UN where three alien emissaries, the pig-like "Kanamit," are testifying that the purpose of their mission to Earth is "to bring to you the peace and plenty which we ourselves enjoy, and which we have in the past brought to other races throughout the galaxy." The aliens soon supply Earth with cheap unlimited power, a device that suppresses explosions, and drugs for prolonging life. As a further token of friendship, they allow humans to visit their home planet via ten-year "exchange groups."
A friend of the narrator, a UN translator named Gregori ["Grigori"=Watchers=reptilians], steals one of the Kanamit books, and he and the narrator attempt to translate it, via a basic Kanamit-English dictionary provided by the aliens. After some weeks, they determine that the title is "To Serve Man." Two weeks later, the narrator returns from a trip to find Gregori distraught. Gregori says that he has translated the first paragraph of the book: "It's a cookbook," he says.
*This short story was made into a Twilight zone episode:
" BABYLON 5 " the television sci-fi series, emphasizes the unity between the warrior humans and the humanoid-reptilian "NARNS" in an effort to fight mutual enemies. They are a warrior species.."
"The "Babylon 5" universe deals with numerous armed conflicts which range on an interstellar scale. The story begins in the aftermath of a war which brought the human race to the brink of extinction, caused by a misunderstanding during a first contact situation.[34] The Babylon 5 station is subsequently built in order to foster peace through diplomacy, described as the "last, best hope for peace" in the opening credits monologue during its first three seasons. Wars between separate alien civilizations are featured. The conflict between the Narn [reptilian humanoids] and the Centauri is followed from its beginnings as a minor territorial dispute amplified by historical animosity, through to its end, in which weapons of mass destruction are employed to subjugate and enslave an entire planet."

"Let the whiff of rememberance tell the tale:

Surprisingly some of them evolved and gradually they mastered a technology based on inorganic lifeless substances. Their culture was a travesty of our own noble ways and a threat to our very existence.
We retreated to preserve our ways and await an opportunity to reclaim the earth...Generations pasted, and then a brilliant young nobleman came to my attention [Cobra]. Even though disfigured by a laboratory accident he was my choice to go into the world, to raise a mighty army and to destroy the so-called human civilization that had driven us into exile."

In a period of about 15 days in 1998 I met 12 separate people in different locations around the United States, from very contrasting backgrounds, who told me the same basic story of seeing a 'human' change or 'shape-shift' into a reptilian form before their eyes.
Among them were two television interviewers who saw their guest, a supporter of the New World Order agenda, shape-shift from 'human' to reptilian. Afterwards one said he had been shocked to see the man's face turn reptilian and the other, equally shocked, said that she had seen his hands take on a reptilian appearance. A friend of one of the presenters was a policeman in Denver, Colorado, a major Illuminati and Satanic centre, where reptilian gargoyles (an Illuminati code) and Freemasonic imagery adorn the Denver Airport.
The policeman had made a routine visit to an office block in Aurora, near Denver, and commented to an executive of one of the companies there about the high level of security in the building. She said that he should look at the upper floors if he wanted to see some real security. She pointed to a lift that only went to the higher floors and she told him of an astonishing experience she had some weeks earlier. The lift had opened and a strange figure emerged. He was albino-white with a face shaped like a lizard and eyes with pupils that were vertical like a reptile's.
I was to hear many such descriptions in the months ahead. This white lizard figure had walked out of the restricted lift, she said, and into an official-looking car. The policeman was so intrigued by the story and the building that he made investigations into the companies in the upper floors. According to his friend, he said he found them all to be fronts for the Central Intelligence Agency, the CIA.
--David Icke, "Tales from the Time loop"
"Various high-level Satanists who have escaped from the Illuminati by God's power were eyewitnesses to Satan appearing at the Rothchilds. They testified they witnessed Satan showing up at the Rothchilds as a very beautiful man who can shape shift, (at times his feet would be cloven hoofs). He wears a black tuxedo to gamble and play cards (winnings are sexual victims) & a white tuxedo when present just to socialize. He can also shape shift into a reptilian. As a sincere researcher, I must report that lots of info about shape shifting reps has confronted me in so many independent places in such a wide variety of historical periods that this bizarre topic must have some importance. I've withheld my findings for years, because I feel quite tentative about my results. David Icke gives details of this strange topic & his bold views in The Biggest Secret."
--Fritz Springmeier, "Bloodlines of the Illuminati"
"In the greatest number of alien encounters, the UFOnauts were described as standing about five feet tall and dressed in one-piece, tight-fitting jumpsuits. Their skin was gray, or grayish-green, and hairless. Their faces were dominated by large eyes, VERY OFTEN WITH SNAKELIKE, SLIT PUPILS. They had no discernible lips, just straight lines for mouths. They seldom were described as having noses, just little snubs if at all; but usually the witnesses saw only nostrils nearly flush against the smooth face. Sometimes a percipient mentioned pointed ears but on many occasions commented on the absence of noticeable ears on the large, round head. And, REPEATEDLY, WITNESSES DESCRIBED AN INSIGNIA OF A FLYING SERPENT ON A SHOULDER PATCH, A BADGE, A MEDALLION, OR A HELMET."

"Gargoyles" (1972 movie)-After receiving word about a mysterious carcass/skeleton unearthed in the Arizona desert, a father and his daughter decide to remove it from the burial grounds for further study. Once they do so, they, as well as the town, are besieged by a colony of gargoyles living in some nearby caverns." [Dulce? Black mountain? 'Lizard people' tunnels in Los Angeles?]
"Gargoyles (Disney cartoon) is an American animated series created by Greg Weisman. It was produced by Greg Weisman and Frank Paur and aired from October 24, 1994 to February 15, 1997. Gargoyles is known for its dark tone, complex story arcs and melodrama. Character arcs were heavily employed throughout the series, as were Shakespearean themes."
"..In the year 994, the clan lives in a castle in medieval Scotland alongside humans until many of them are killed by betrayal, and the remainder are magically frozen in stone until the castle "rises above the clouds." A millennium later, billionaire David Xanatos purchases the Gargoyles' castle and has it reconstructed atop his New York skyscraper, awakening the six remaining Gargoyles. In trying to adjust to their new world they are aided by a sympathetic NYPD officer, Elisa Maza, and quickly come into conflict with the machiavellian Xanatos. In addition to dealing with the Gargoyles' attempts to adjust to modern New York, the series also incorporated various supernatural threats to their safety and to the world at large."
"In the story, a despondent artist named Preston (played by James Remar) witnesses a gruesome murder by a gargoyle-like monster. The monster gets Preston to swear to never speak of what he saw in exchange for a promise to spare his life. After making the promise, Preston meets a beautiful woman named Carola (played by Rae Dawn Chong). Preston marries Carola, they have two kids, and Preston has a revival of his art career. But Preston was still tormented by guilt about his silence, and started reconsidering the promise he made to the monster."
"..Preston then tells Carola about that night ten years ago when they met after he had witnessed the killing of a man by a monster which he sculpted to show her. After releasing a heartbroken screech, Carola reveals herself to be the very same creature he made the promise with, lamenting that the promise Preston made to the monster had been broken. As such, she reverts to her previous form, and their children transform into similar monsters as well. Within the shock and despair of such revelations, Preston is killed at 'her' hands, and she escapes through a skylight with their children. The final scene shows that the gargoyle and children have turned to stone upon a building ledge, staring down at Preston's body in remorse."
"A ruthless criminal who wants to become the crime kingpin of Gotham City, Croc works behind the scenes using methods like sniping to eliminate his criminal competitors. When Batman finally confronts his mysterious foe, the villain is revealed to have a massive physique and reptilian appearance. It is then revealed that his real name is Waylon Jones, born with a form of atavism that imparted him with reptilian traits. His drunk aunt grew to hate her nephew's hideous appearance and brutal behavior. While still an adolescent, his aunt abused him and bullied him by calling him names like "lizardboy" and "a reptilian freak". Croc killed his aunt and became a criminal."
"..Over time, Croc's intelligence slowly diminished to the point where he became almost completely animalistic and a slave to primal desires. He would then make his home in the sewers beneath Gotham City."
"..Killer Croc's backstory explains that he was born with a condition resembling epidermolytic hyperkeratosis, a disfiguring skin disorder. However, it is actually a form of regressive atavism, meaning that he has inherited traits of ancestral species of the human race such as reptiles. This condition has been augmented by the presence of a metagene. Consequently, he has several extraordinary physical abilities relating to his endurance, strength, and speed. Once he has become familiar with a person's scent he can track them from miles away. As his appearance and personality has grown more and more bestial, his misanthropy has increased dramatically. He is jealous and hateful of "normal" people and often lashes out violently without provocation."
"..Killer Croc appears in The Batman voiced by Ron Perlman. In this version, Croc is even more reptilian and crocodile-like than past versions and has a tail, although he also demonstrates a greater intellect and is much more sane and non-cannibalistic than traditional interpretations of the character due to his plan to steal money by flooding downtown Gotham by reversing pumps designed to drain Gotham canals in times of flooding. Killer Croc appears as one of the villains in Batman: Gotham Knight in the segment "In Darkness Dwells". This version of Croc never speaks and is only shown while under the influence of the toxin. During the segment, it is mentioned by Gordon that this version is afraid of bats. In this version, Waylon Jones (Killer Croc) is a cannibalistic serial killer."
"Conan lived in Cimmeria with his parents throughout his childhood. While out with his grandfather one night on a trek, "fiery tears" or meteors dropped from the skies. Conan collected them and brought them back to his family. Conan's father, the village blacksmith, used the ore from the meteors to forge Star Metal and used it to create various tools and weapons that would never rust or break or dull. He sold them, but his finest work, a magnificent sword, he kept for Conan. It was laid in a crypt and covered over with a heavy stone slab. Conan's father told his son that only when he was "man enough" (i.e., strong enough) to push off the stone slab, could he rightfully claim the sword.
Meanwhile, the evil Serpent Man wizard Wrath-Amon learned of Star Metal and that in addition to its strength that it possessed the power to open portals between dimensions. He thus sought Star Metal to release his deity Set from "the Abyss" to which he long ago had been banished by the combined powers of virtually every living wizard then on Earth for trying to enslave the human race. As part of his search, Wrath-Amon sought out Conan's family. Conan's father told Wrath-Amon that he had sold all of the Star Metal but the wizard refused to believe it. (The wizard was right; aside from the sword, it was revealed in a later episode that Conan's father had hidden pieces of Star Metal with other villagers.) Wrath-Amon used the spell of living stone upon Conan's family.
Conan by then had gone to claim his Star Metal sword to attack Wrath-Amon and his followers. When the Star Metal sword got near Wrath-Amon it disrupted his magic and showed his reptilian face. To this, he said, "Those who see the true face of Wrath-Amon must perish!" (this scene is similar to one in the film). Having chased away the wizard, Conan then turned to his family and swore in the name of their god Crom to find a way of releasing them from the spell.
Conan's adventures thus begin as he searches Hyboria [Hy-Brazil?] looking for a way to cure his family and free the land from Wrath-Amon's tyranny Wrath-Amon's henchmen are also shapeshifting Serpent Men. When Conan's Star Metal sword is close enough to them it broke the spell that disguised them and revealed their true form to be Serpent Men; when Star Metal made contact with the Serpent Men it banishes them to the Abyss with Set. Spies and agents of Set and Stygia, many of them also Serpent Men, were present in many cities, nations and tribes throughout the land in the age of Conan."
"...The Snake Cult is an evil religion that worships Set and lures away victims, even rulers who fear the wrath of Wrath-Amon. Wrath-Amon preaches the wicked religion of Set and so did the sorcerer Ram-Amon before him. Their quest is to set their god free from the Abyss.
Set: The evil Serpent Demon and god of the serpent men as well as the Snake Cult. He is a giant cobra with mystical powers but he only has one head unlike the usual representation from Marvel Comics. He planned to enslave the human race through his serpent men worshipers, deceived many into his cult and as punishment, he was locked away into the Abyss for that offense by the Elders. He gives orders to the Snake Cult's high priest to give him the Star Metal, to build seven pyramids to release him. He returns in the finale to wreak havoc only to be banished once again thanks to the combined efforts of Conan and his friends with their star metal powers combined.
Wrath-Amon (voiced by Scott McNeil): The evil sorcerer who currently leads the Snake Cult as its high priest and the personal enemy of Conan. He was originally a large gila monster who was changed into a serpent man who overthrew his own master Ram-Amon, the previous high priest of the Snake Cult, after taking his Black Ring and now has the mission to free his god Set with the help of the Star Metal. Conan's grandfather states that his evil is legendary, that he is feared by kings and that he possesses so much power as the high priest. But he only fears Set who is his deity to whom he is the high priest. He led the attack on Conan's village where he turns Conan's parents into living stone instead of killing them like in the original line. He was given ultimate power by Set and became gigantic and he was almost unbeatable. At the end of the series, Conan reverts him back into the gila monster he was through the Amulet of Vathelos. Like Thoth-Amon in Conan, he is powerless without his black ring. It was said that if his ring is destroyed, his spell of living stone on Conan's family would be undone. He obviously looks like a serpent man even without being exposed. His long life span may be due to his black magic.
Dregs (voiced by Doug Parker): Wrath Amon's evil Naga assistant. He once became Dregs-Amon when Wrath-Amon was going to undergo hibernation. He quickly changed his loyalties when Ram Amon was defeated, and served under Ram-Amon. He was crushed by a large statue in the final episode, but it is not revealed if he survived...."
"It is a 1986 horror novel by American author Stephen King. The story follows the exploits of seven children as they are terrorized by the eponymous inter-dimensional predatory life-form that exploits the fears and phobias of its victims in order to disguise itself while hunting its prey. "It" primarily appears in the form of "Bob Gray" a.k.a. "Pennywise the Dancing Clown", described by characters who see It as resembling a combination of Bozo, Clarabell and Ronald McDonald, in order to attract its preferred prey of young children."
"...In October 1957, an evil shape-shifting entity known only as "It" awakens in the town of Derry, Maine. Taking the form of a clown named Pennywise, It encounters six-year-old George Denbrough when his paper boat is swept into a storm drain. Pennywise, standing in the drain, entices George into attempting to retrieve the boat. However, Pennywise rips off his arm and kills him."
"The children gradually realize that they have encountered It in its various forms, as a mummy, a syphilitic homeless man, a possessed statue of Paul Bunyan, and a werewolf."
"..The Losers are not the only persons to encounter It; various children vanish to be found dead and mutilated days, weeks, or months later, if they turn up at all. The Losers determine to destroy the supernatural being and seek out means to that end. After some research in the town library, Bill discovers an ancient spell known as the Ritual of Chüd, in which a shapeshifting monster called a "talus" and a human shaman lock tongues and tell jokes; the first to laugh is devoured by the other. Bill believes this ritual will allow them to defeat and kill It. While the seven are building an underground clubhouse in the Barrens in mid-July, Mike Hanlon brings his father's photo album and shows it to them all. The group discovers that Pennywise has existed for many centuries in the Derry area."
"..In August, It turns to Henry Bowers, whose sanity had been eroding throughout the summer, as Its minion. [u]It provides Henry with a switchblade, with which the boy promptly murders his crazy, abusive father. Henry recruits the unsuspecting Victor and Belch and takes them into the Barrens, where they drive the Losers into the sewers. [size=150]Under Derry, It attacks the Bowers gang in the form of Frankenstein's monster, decapitating Victor and ripping half of Belch's face off, though Henry escapes. Wandering aimlessly for hours in the sewers, Henry ultimately falls into the Canal and drifts back into the Kenduskeag, where he falls unconscious for several hours. When he comes to, Henry returns home to find the police there waiting for him; as it turns out, It has framed Henry for most of the people that It killed both before and during the summer of 1958 (including Patrick, Victor, and Belch)....
"...The Losers press deeper into the sewers and confront It in the form of a giant eye, which Eddie defeats using his asthma inhaler, proclaiming it to be battery acid. Finally the Losers come to Its lair, a chamber deep below the heart of Derry. On a small door leading the inner chamber, is a symbol which is It's name spelled a strange way, so that It can be interpreted as being a picture of whatever thing that a person fears the most. The creature appears as a giant spider. Bill enters It's mind through the Ritual of Chüd and comes to a darkness beyond the universe, where It's true form resides: a mass of floating orange light. With the help of a galaxy-spawning entity called the Turtle, Bill defeats It and the monster retreats, grievously wounded. The Losers decide that It has been destroyed and attempt to leave the sewers, but find themselves lost. As the Losers panic in the dark, their mystical bond begins to fray. In order to keep the bond, Beverly has sexual intercourse with each of the boys. The Losers finally escape from the sewers, emerging at sunset. Stan cuts their palms with a shard of a Coke bottle and the seven make a blood oath to return to Derry if It ever resurfaces."
"And the king said to her, be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth"
--I Samuel 28:13
Like an island in a sea of eucalyptus, a huge mass of dark boulders was protruding against the northern Australian sky. It was the Black Mountain, known to the Aborigines as "Kalkajaka", the most frightening and enigmatic place of northern Queensland, situated 16 miles (25 km) south of Cooktown. The Aborigines avoid it, alluding to ancient legends filled with horror. White men are frightened by the number of those who have gone there and never returned, as if swallowed by the earth or the mountain itself. Birds and animals shun the area and planes avoid the entire region on account of its peculiar air turbulences and magnetic disturbances. In 1991, a Bureau of Mineral Resources aircraft flew over the Black Mountain in the north-south and east-west directions. With the aid of a helium magnetometer and a spectrometer, it conducted tests for the presence of magnetic rock and radiation levels. The results were negative but the mystery surrounding the disappearences and supernatural occurrences has remained intact. The locals warn all explorers: "Anyone set on unraveling the mystery of the mountain must be well organized and prepared to tackle the most awful dangers – such as facing a giant python."
"When European colonists arrived late last century, they added to the many Aboriginal legends of the area with a few of their own. Stories abound of people, horses and whole mobs of cattle disappearing into the labyrinth of rocks, never to be seen again"
"Black Mountain comes almost as a shock when you see it first. Traveling by bus just south of Cooktown, North Queensland (Australia), a bend in the road suddenly discloses it and the visual impact can bring an involuntary exclamation, as you see it -- black, bare and sinister, a 1400 ft. high pile of enormous boulders two miles long, rearing out of the rain-forest.
...This is 'the Mountain of Death.' Aborigines will not go near it. An ancient legend warns them of danger. White men fear it too, because of the numbers of men who have gone there and disappeared without a trace, as if the earth -- or the mountain - - had swallowed them. Birds and animals shun the area. The rocks give off a curious metallic ring when struck, and the only sound is the croaking of countless frogs sheltered in the depths where the great granite boulders lie against each other."
"...In the files of the Cooktown police, dating back 25 years, there is a report made by a Sergeant of Police who discussed the mountain with a man whom he refers to as Mac. Mac began:
"'Know anything about Black Mountain, or so-called 'Mountain of Death'? Its aboriginal name is 'Kalcajagga.'
..What does it look like at close quarters?' I asked.
Just a mass of tumbled granite blocks; hardly any vegetation. The only living things there are black rock wallabies and enormous pythons 16 feet or more long and able to swallow a wallaby whole. The ridge is honeycombed with caves, nearly all unexplored. They dip down below ground level but nobody knows their extent or what they contain. The latest fatalities, he reported, had occurred only a few years earlier when two young men set out to solve the riddle of earlier disappearances in the caves. They were never heard of again. Two black trackers who tried to trace them disappeared too."

Ed speaks of the demonic spirit showing itself only rarely in preternatural form. What does the demonic spirit look like? The question is an uncomfortable one for him to answer.
"Although the spirit can project itself in any form it chooses," says Ed, "It's appearance is an abomination, a monstrosity. To see what is really behind the phenomena is not something to be desired. To actually see the demonic is to feel ruin. What shows is something distinctly preternatural in appearance: something real enough as you can see it, but yet something not of this world."
But what does it ultimately look like?
"Ultimately, " Ed answers with great reluctance, "it is not human. It is inhuman. It has scales. It looks …like a reptile. That's it," he cautions," I won't complete the rest of the image."

"There's another which people..which abductees talk about that they see onboard the ships and these are tall beings and they assume different forms. Sometimes they can appear as reptilian, other times they can appear as insectoid, other times they can appear as Nordic, in other words in my opinion their shapeshifters. Now why would I say that? What backs it up? There's a scripture from our spiritual handbook (2 Corinthians 11:14) which says that basically fallen angels can appear as angels of light if they so choose. Okay, they can appear as angels of light if they so choose...That's a shapeshifter, but it shapeshifts, it can appear as whatever it wants to appear, insectoid, reptilian, who knows what the thing really looks like, in my opinion it's probably a reptilian."

Uggla to start, Kimbrel to be in 'pen for NL All-Stars
Second baseman voted in by fans; closer gets second All-Star nod
ATLANTA -- Braves second baseman Dan Uggla will be making his first start, and his Atlanta teammate Craig Kimbrel will be positioned to potentially close at this year's All-Star Game in Kansas City on July 10.
Uggla and Kimbrel had reason to celebrate Sunday when they learned they had been selected to be part of the National League team in this year's Midsummer Classic. They were the only Braves to earn this honor via the selection processes conducted by fans, players, Major League Baseball and NL manager Tony La Russa.
"You're talking about going out and competing about the best players in the world for one night," Uggla said. "It's a huge honor to be put in that category and be thought of that way. I'm excited. I can't wait. It's going to be a lot of fun."

Kimbrel has now earned a selection in each of his first two full big league seasons. The dominant closer was added to the NL roster just two days before making his All-Star Game debut last year.
"Having this opportunity again is awesome," Kimbrel said. "Last year I really didn't know what to expect. This year, I have a little better idea. So maybe I can soak it all in a little bit more."
Chipper Jones was added to the NL roster to replace injured Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp on Tuesday, and Michael Bourn replaced injured Nationals shortstop Ian Desmond on Saturday.
One year after being elected a starter for the first time, Brian McCann did not earn a selection. McCann had been named an All-Star during each of his six full Major League seasons. He stands as the only player in Braves history to hold that distinction.
The 83rd Major League Baseball All-Star Game will be televised nationally by FOX Sports, in Canada by Rogers Sportsnet and RDS, and worldwide by partners in more than 200 countries via MLB International's independent feed. Pregame ceremonies begin at 7:30 p.m. (EDT)/6:30 p.m. (CDT). ESPN Radio and ESPN Radio Deportes will provide exclusive national radio coverage. MLB Network, MLB.com and Sirius XM also will provide comprehensive All-Star Game coverage.
Fans will also have the opportunity to participate in the official voting for the Ted Williams Most Valuable Player presented by Chevrolet via the 2012 MLB.com All-Star Game MVP Vote during the All-Star Game on MLB.com.
Uggla will be making his third All-Star Game appearance and first since he committed three errors in the 2008 contest. Though he struggled at the plate through most of June, he still managed to garner more votes from fans than any other NL second baseman.
"I had some pretty big years, I thought, in years past," Uggla said. "I hit a lot of homers with a lot of RBIs and a batting average of something like .250 or .260. But I always seemed to kind of fall short. I got off to a pretty good start this year, and the fans thought I was deserving of it. I'm greatly honored."
Uggla has batted .232 with 11 home runs and a .772 OPS. The 32-year-old second baseman batted .283 with an .805 OPS in his first 38 games of the season. But he has batted .175 with six home runs and a .733 OPS in his past 39 games.
After hitting .173 in the first 86 games he played last year, Uggla began an Atlanta-record 33-game hitting streak, and later extended his Major League record for second basemen with a fifth consecutive 30-homer season.
Recognized as one of the game's strongest players, Uggla is hoping to receive an invitation to compete in the State Farm Home Run Derby.
Kimbrel has quickly become one of the game's elite closers. The hard-throwing right-hander set a rookie record with 46 saves last year and is slightly ahead of that pace this year. The 24-year-old closer has limited opponents to a .126 batting average and .204 on-base percentage while converting 23 of his 24 save opportunities this year.
While showing more consistent command this year, Kimbrel has notched 50 strikeouts and issued 10 walks in 30 innings.
Since allowing a run in three consecutive appearances from April 29-May 4, he has allowed one run and four hits over 19 innings. He has limited opponents to a .065 batting average and .094 on-base percentage during that stretch.
"Anytime you're selected to an All-Star team, it's an honor," Kimbrel said. "Hopefully I can go out and do my part to help the team win."

To call the workplace tough at the Hydro Aluminium smelter near Newcastle in NSW is an understatement. Its dusty, hot and hostile and the plant operates 24 hours a day.
Toyota Material Handling have a contract to supply and maintain mobile machinery at the plant, so when service co-ordinator Steven Richards needed a new machine to clean up underneath the smelters carbon anode butt crusher, he knew they would need muscular performer.
Steven and his team chose the Schaffer Loaders 3150 and had it customised to give it extra grunt for the task in hand. We had extra counter weighting put on the back to make it easier to lift a carbon block in the bucket, Steven says.
The German factory carried out other modifications to cope with the heat such as the sealing of all accessible electrics with a silica gel pack. Electric relays and solenoids were minimised by converting the machine to single-speed transmission (two-speed is standard ni Australia) and manual auxiliary control.
Tyres were made solid to improve heat and impact resistance, and a Murphy engine protection system was added to guard against overheating of the cooling system.
It has a non-turbo Kubota motor, which is good, Steven adds. Its a very robust, well-built machine compared to other makes".
The ergonomics are great; its comfortable, safe, visibility is excellent and its easy to drive. Weve used it non-stop with only routine maintenance and the parts back-up is excellent.
The success of the modified Schaffer 3150 in this challenging setting opens the way for other industrial and mining usage.

Pa. Turnpike officials received personal vehicles worth $28,000 each
HARRISBURG – So what if you have to pay a little extra to use the state's major east-west highway? At least the guys at the top have sweet rides.
Tolls on the Pennsylvania Turnpike have increased for five consecutive years and the highway's debt burden has ballooned by more than 200 percent since 2007. At the same time, the men charged with running the turnpike received new cars valued at more than $28,000 each and were reimbursed for the cost of gas and maintenance, according to an audit released by Auditor General Jack Wagner this week.
The Turnpike Commission spent more than $406,000 purchasing vehicles for commissioners between January 2007 and August 2011, according to the audit. The turnpike did not limit those vehicles exclusively to work-related purposes.
The vehicles were American-made sedans, station wagons and sport-utility vehicles valued at more than $28,000 each.
In addition to cars they could use on personal time, the commissioners were also reimbursed for more than $20,000 in maintenance costs and $29,000 in fuel costs during that period, according to the audit.
In total, the Turnpike Commission spent more than $450,000 in vehicle expenses for commissioners in less than five years from January 2007 through August 2011, the period covered in the audit.
"We found no convincing reason to allow commissioners to use commission-purchased vehicles for personal use," the auditors wrote.
During a news conference Tuesday, Wagner said the turnpike should stop giving cars to commissioners and instead offer mileage reimbursements for work-related travel.
"Rather than giving a commissioner an automobile, pay them for mileage," Wagner said. "We think minor items like that are very significant because it defines the culture of the turnpike and the Turnpike Commission."
On top of the vehicle expenses, commissioners rang up a total of $539,000 in reimbursements for meals, lodging and other expenses, the audit found. Continued...
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission is a five-member governing body, with four members selected by the governor and confirmed by the state Senate. The state Secretary of Transportation serves as the fifth member of the commission.
Commissioners are paid the relatively modest salary of $26,000 for their positions, which require them to be on-duty 24 hours a day and seven days a week.
But they seem to make up for the modest salaries with expense accounts that auditors deemed "overly generous and permissive."
Commissioners do not fill out timesheets or otherwise document their work hours, auditors wrote, making it impossible to verify the turnpike's claim that its commissioners are on-call around-the-clock.
"Let's face it, the commissioners are the leaders and they need to be cost-efficient for the turnpike to be cost-efficient," Wagner said during a Tuesday news conference.
In a written response to the audit, the Turnpike Commission's acting CEO Craig Shuey said the report gave the agency "additional areas to consider as a part of our long-term strategy to position the organization for future challenges; as such, each will be given the appropriate level of attention as we continue to modernize our operations and readjust our priorities."
However, the written response did not specifically address the issue of vehicles for commissioners. Turnpike spokesman Carl Defebo said the agency had no additional comment at this time.
The audit does not name specific vehicles purchased or which commissioners benefited from the tollpayer-funded expenses.
Wagner said he has a policy against "naming names" in audits because people holding various public offices can change over time.
The audit also found that the turnpike commission had reimbursed commissioners for the cost of purchasing cell phones, cell phone equipment and mobile Internet service on occasion. Continued...
There are no monetary limitations on travel reimbursements and the turnpike allowed commissioners to have complete autonomy regarding their expenses and vehicle usage, the auditors reported.
"We believe government officials should be held to a higher standard and that excessive and undocumented expenses should not be permitted nor reimbursed," they concluded. "The Turnpike Commission needs to be fully transparent regarding expenses incurred by its commissioners, and moreover, commissioners need to be held accountable for those expenses."

Why are there different glasses for red and white wine?
Different wine glasses are designed specifically to enhance the flavor and maximize the enjoyment of each type of wine. For example, balloon glasses are used for red wine served at room temperature to allow it to breathe properly. White wine is served chilled, so the wine glass is smaller to help keep it cool. Champagne flutes are tall and thin to allow for the build up of bubbles. For the budding wine enthusiast check out the specialty varietal glasses. These glasses are made to enhance the flavor of the particular grape associated to the wine.
Why is some glassware more expensive than others?
Craftsmanship and quality vary with glassware. For example, mouth blown glassware is considered of higher quality than pressed or molded glassware.
Do I need to get the same style for all these different types of glasses?
Absolutely not. Your glassware should reflect your own personal taste. Whether uniform or varied, your glassware should create the presentation you desire. Many also choose a style that complements one's place settings.
How much glassware do I need?
For every dinnerware or flatware place setting you should have an equivalent glassware place setting. So if you have dinnerware for 12, you will want 12 of each type of glass you own. Which type of glass (water, wine, champagne flute, etc.) you purchase should be determined by your own personal style and how much entertaining you do.

ULSTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- There could soon be a winner in the 46th State Senate district race as ballots are counted today in Ulster County. The county is the last of five to finish counting ballots.
The contest between Democrat Cecilia Tkaczyk and Republican George Amedore has been extremely close. Amedore's spokesperson says with Montgomery County wrapping up counting early Saturday morning, he now leads Tkaczyk by 920 votes.
Any contested ballots are being set aside and both sides are scheduled to head to court on Thursday.
Meantime, Republican Incumbent Steve Saland, Democrat Terry Gipson, and Republican Neil DiCarlo continue to wait as absentee ballots are counted in the race for the 41st State Senate District.
Dutchess County begins counting paper ballots today. The Board of Elections says the counting will happen in alphabetical order by town name.
Last week, Gipson had a roughly 1,700 vote lead over Saland.
