Well, hello and welcome to my first post in nearly three and a half years. This COULD be an update, but unfortunately, I haven't seen anything to date that makes me believe that "astro-science" and astrobiology has progressed much beyond,(or even up TO,) where I left it.&lt;br&gt;
THIS &lt;a href="http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Scattering_tHe_Seeds_Of_Life_999.html"&gt;SEEDS OF LIFE&lt;/a&gt;, has GOT to be one of the most stupid articles I have ever read, (and I have read plenty.)&lt;br&gt;
Here is a short excerpt:&lt;br&gt;
"Fry says that the notion of eternity was used in the past to promote a philosophy that life and matter were separate unbridgeable entities. However, most scientists today agree that life arose from non-living matter."&lt;br&gt;
It seems as every new discovery of things that I have written about long before science "discovered" them, only confuses and confounds these brilliant and egocentric nitwits beyond belief. If I read one more time that science has to "rethink" its long accepted theories,I will go nuts because even after they do, there are so many idiotic conclusions it makes me wonder how these educated twits ever got a degree in anything but buffoonery.&lt;br&gt; 
So consider this an update if you will, but I will be back with some real explanations of real things so far left undiscovered. maybe one of you college students who keep checking to see if there is anything new here will take what I have to offer and run with it.&lt;br&gt;
Who knows? You may become quite famous someday.&lt;br&gt;
So come back soon. What I have to tell you is beyond anything anyone has ever thought...except for me, so far. But if any of you have read what I have written up until now, you know I know things that science has not dreamed of yet.&lt;br&gt;
This blog is an open door to make you think of the universe past man's seemingly chauvinistic and vain "Earth First" terms.&lt;br&gt;
The universe DID have a beginning, TIME did not, and neither have an end. What does science, in all its glory, think ETERNAL is?&lt;br&gt;
AND I will tell you exactly how it began, why, and why we might just be on the verge of creating a new one, even though we will never know it.&lt;br&gt;
Got your attention?&lt;br&gt;
GOOD!!!&lt;br&gt;
After I tell you, you will say it is so logical you will wonder why no one has ever thought of it before.&lt;br&gt;
The answer, my fiends, will astound you.&lt;br&gt;
Y'all come back soon now, ya hear?&lt;br&gt;

This article, though months old, is a longwinded piece of psuedo-science no self respecting, non-deluded, homo sapiens with supposed smarts and beaucoup degrees would embarrass themselves with.&lt;br&gt;
But they did, and I was flabbergasted that they explained in this selfsame article specifically what part a top quark plays in the ongoing saga of creation while simultaneously denying it.&lt;br&gt;
Lord save us from quarter-brained people who have never reached beyond their embedded, encapsulated, (and all too sexist,) rote idea of what their universe MUST be or how life MUST act.&lt;br&gt;
They choose already obsolete *theories* to add even more confusion to the truth, but it is their way, after all. For isn't it absolutely a fact that females are the cause of the termination of life?
Why, of course it is. Kind of an odd sort of valentine from the men in white. Duh! &lt;br&gt;
So I figured I'd just keep on going from where I left off. Just read the damn thing and decide for yourself.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;


&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#FF6600"&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Measurement Undermines Physicists' Theories For Hidden 'Particle-Force'&lt;br&gt;
Rochester NY (SPX)&lt;big&gt; Feb 14, 2005&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br&gt;
A new measurement by a student and professor at the University of Rochester has shed new light on the limits of scientists' standard model of physics.&lt;br&gt;
Doctoral student Ben Kilminster and Kevin McFarland, professor of physics, used the particle accelerator at Fermilab to conduct the first measurement ever done with enough precision to discern certain characteristics of how the top quark, the heaviest particle in known physics, decays.&lt;br&gt;
The work is reported in today's issue of Physical Review D. The findings suggest there is no connection between the top quark and the weak nuclear force - an idea that had been attractive because the unusually high and similar energies of the top quark and the weak force's particle, the W-boson, stood out from the rest of the known particles.&lt;br&gt;
A link between the quark and the boson would have strongly suggested that the top quark held a special place in the quantum world, perhaps as a kind of&lt;big&gt; "father"&lt;/big&gt; of the weak force, which is RESPONSIBLE for the characteristics of all known matter.&lt;br&gt;
"No one has made this kind of measurement as precisely, and the findings are laying another brick in our knowledge of how the universe works," says McFarland.&lt;br&gt;
"People are trying desperately to understand why the weak force is weak. At the beginning of the universe, it and the force that is responsible for light, among other things, were essentially one and the same; but now, light can cross the cosmos, but the weak force can't even cross an atom. We've come up with a lot of theories as to why this is, but these new findings mean that a lot of those theories are going to have to be crossed off."&lt;br&gt;
To understand the critical connection between the top quark and the weak force's W-boson, McFarland and Kilminster designed a test to measure the top quark's parity.&lt;br&gt;
Parity is a property of quantum particles that describes how they act if their directions in space are reversed, as though they were being viewed in a mirror. Imagine lobbing a tennis ball over the net to your opponent.&lt;br&gt;
You would expect that when your opponent hits the ball back, reversing its direction, that the ball will behave identically--falling to the court, bouncing off your racket, etc. Some particles, however, change their properties when "mirrored."&lt;br&gt;

It would be as if returning tennis balls ignore gravity and pass right through your racket. Physicists discovered, to their amazement, that the reason for this lack of parity is that the weak force only seems to act on particles that have a certain kind of characteristic, called "left-handed spin."&lt;br&gt;

Imagine the tennis ball again, flying over the net, spinning on an axis that's pointed at your opponent, so it appears to be spinning clockwise from your position behind it.&lt;br&gt;

If your opponent returns the ball perfectly--reflecting it as if in a mirror--the direction of the ball has reversed, but its spin will still appear to be moving clockwise as it flies toward you. If you were to point your right thumb in the direction the ball was flying as you smacked it over the net, your fingers would naturally curl in a clockwise direction.&lt;br&gt;

When it returned to you, and you aimed your left thumb in its direction of travel, your fingers would curl in that same clockwise direction, but with your thumb pointing toward you.&lt;br&gt;

Scientists use this as a quickie method to label the spin of particles as "left-" and "right-handed." For some reason, which physicists are still puzzling over, the weak force only ever affects left-handed particles.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#33CCCC"&gt;&lt;b&gt;How about unnatural? How about gay stuff doesn't do the reproduction thing very well?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#FF6600"&gt;&lt;b&gt;McFarland and Kilminster knew that if they could show that the tremendously heavy top quark was left-handed, then the weak force would likely act on it the same way it did to all the other known quarks.&lt;br&gt;

"In our quest to understand the nature of the weak force, physicists have come up with some theories that link the weak force's extremely heavy W-boson with the extremely heavy top quark," says McFarland.&lt;br&gt;

"In those theories, the top quark holds a special place in the universe, including the possibility of the universe being filled with top-quark pairs that create a drag on other particles, and hence give them mass. If the W-boson and top quark were intimately linked, it would have ramifications for all of physics."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#33CCCC"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Now there ya go. Lesbian Quarks. Ahhhhh. The minds of men.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#FF6600"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Measuring the handedness of the top quark with precision had never been accomplished before. Since there is no known way to make the measurement of the top quark directly, the Rochester team decided to look at the particles the top quark decays into.&lt;br&gt;

One of the principal functions of the weak force is to "break down" heavier particles, like the top quark, into lighter quarks from which nearly everything in the universe is constructed. In the Fermilab accelerator, the team let a soup of top quarks decay into their constituent, lighter particles.&lt;br&gt;

Those particles would shoot out in certain directions, based on their spin. Connecting which particles came from which top quarks in the ensuing collision had always been the stumbling block for physicists, but Kilminster developed a program that essentially picked out all the particles that might have been produced by a top quark decay, and statistically figured out which top quark they came from.&lt;br&gt;

The results showed that for the majority of the time, the top quark's decay spattered its resulting particles in a pattern that strongly suggested the top quark decay is not symmetric, and thus that the weak force likely interacts with it in the same basic manner that it interacts with all particles.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#33CCCC"&gt;&lt;b&gt;?Babies?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#FF6600"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The theories that were based on the idea that the top quark and the weak force were linked to each other in a unique fashion were shown to be highly unlikely.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#33CCCC"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ya know, this really gets more aggrevating as it goes. But they just couldn't stop trying to explain a natural concept they can't seem to wrap their minds around.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#FF6600"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"As it happens, it seems the fact that the top quark and the W-boson have around the same mass may just be a coincidence," says McFarland.&lt;br&gt;
"Models that rely on a link between the two are becoming more and more implausible. The theories are really a last ditch effort to make do with the fundamentally flawed Standard Model of physics. If these theories keep getting disproved, we're going to have to go on to an entirely new model of the universe's workings."&lt;br&gt;
###########################################&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#33CCCC"&gt;&lt;b&gt;WHEW!!!!&lt;br&gt;

Okey Dokey. Here you have a mama and a daddy alright? The top quark, being the top quark has NECESSARILY GOT to be the male since it is the strongest. It is even referred to as a possible *father.*&lt;br&gt; 
Well, I have news for all you big, strong guys out there, males do not naturally give birth. Preformed living things are always female. Even when it becomes absolutely necessary for the survival of a species, males without females develop those dormant female qualities over time and become capable of reproducing without partners. Likewise, females without males. The purpose of the so called *weak force* is to enable the mother to reproduce and multiply.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;big&gt;"One of the principal functions of the weak force is to "break down" heavier particles, like the top quark, into lighter quarks from which nearly everything in the universe is constructed. In the Fermilab accelerator, the team let a soup of top quarks decay into their constituent, lighter particles."&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br&gt;
In otherwards they multiply in numbers no one can count. Male and female. Right and left. To CONTINUE.&lt;br&gt;

NOTHING is coincidence.&lt;br&gt;
You see it play itself out right under your very noses and know not what you see, but men, being men, would gag themselves with a spoon before they would ever admit that the male of any species might not control the entire universe, especially ours. Of course that is a misnomer because the universe isn't, and never was, OURS.&lt;br&gt;
These things are as much alive in their respective positions as you and me. They don't need to breathe rarefied air and they don't need you assigning them functions you have neither the wits or openmindedness to grasp. And yet again, how do you go about trying to find out what it might be? Why, you try to kill it, of course.&lt;br&gt;
When was the first or LAST time you saw a symmetrical pregnant anything?&lt;br&gt; 
First come the females with eggs, then come the daddies, and then come the babies.&lt;br&gt;
Now I know you will find this analogy a bit too simple for your overeducated, theory-stuffed minds to agree that it could be just that logical, but it is because that is what it is.&lt;br&gt;
Fight it tooth and nail. Fight it like real he-men of science. But remember this. There are worlds within worlds within worlds right here which you know nothing about. And think of all the *top quarks* you CAN'T isolate. They multiply, roam and create universes, and you are stuck with someone smearing charcoal on your microscope eyepieces because it's just so damn funny.&lt;br&gt;

If it wasn't so tragic, it MIGHT be funny. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

You know the routine. LOL.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If ANYONE read the several previous posts here, you will understand that from my perspective, this is the most totally ridiculous statement from *science* that I have heard since they declared they had *found* a piece of *lost* universe...and that ain't been that long ago. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who the heck lost it, and how could they find it if it was lost? Isn't there even room in their earthworm-like tunnels to admit it wasn't *lost* just because THEY didn't see it???&lt;br&gt;
Every single building block, the in-progress growth of a world, is on Titan and every other *void of life* body they have set their sights on, yet they absolutely refuse to consider that such things are extremely obvious now, and have been proven right here in ancient, (very ancient,) times past.&lt;br&gt;
I have previously asked the question, will *science* recognize life even if it does not conform to what we are at this very moment in time. The answer, it seems, is emphatically NO.&lt;br&gt;
One has to wonder what they are so afraid of since something is most assuredly out-thinking them and has far out-distanced the arbitrary contraints man has placed on their own ability to think beyond themselves.&lt;br&gt;
This illogical fear can not possibly be good for our far future and might severely limit our horizons. However, this might actually be a good thing in the long run for the universe at large. I wouldn't want these critters to ever believe they could possibly be *in charge* of anything because everything I've heard from this community of Lilliputians is bordering on insanity, i.e., life exists but it cannot exist, therefore we will ignore it.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Holy Lord, people!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/RiverInTime/Titan/PeterPan.jpg"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Titan is the Peter Pan of our solar system. It's a little world that never grew up," said Tobias Owen of the University of Hawaii, a member of an international team monitoring the findings of the Huygens spacecraft on Titan's surface.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;***************************************************&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Oh yeah??? Once WE were a little world that hadn't *grown up.* But, oh, my, look at us now. Though man as a whole might be regressing back to before the stone age, some of us think the REALITIES for life in any, and every, form isn't simply possible, but probable. To think otherwise is to admit to bordering on the heighth of stupidity and we should NEVER have these grunge brains in charge of any *new* frontier. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;They don't even understand the planet we inhabit. How in G-d's Name are they going to understand worlds so spectacularly different from ours, and yet so spectacularly the same if they can't even bring themselves to admit what should be obvious to a child. Of course, small children haven't yet been taught by these creeps that G-d is impossible...yet.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#9999ff;"&gt;THIS IS HOW IT STARTED:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Titan is 'shockingly Earth-like'29 January 2005 &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stephen Battersby &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;
So says a planetary scientist, amazed by data sent back by the Huygens probe after landing on Saturn's giant moon-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"TITAN is shockingly Earth-like." So says planetary scientist Paul Schenk of the Lunar and Planetary Institute, Houston, Texas, who has been amazed by data sent back by the Huygens probe, which landed on Titan earlier this month. "These could have been pictures from an alien probe landing along the Florida gulf coast."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;
Titan is turning out to be a world in which alien materials form eerily Earth-like landscapes, as misfit streams of methane flow through rugged hills of ice. Even the mud appears familiar.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;
By combining different views from Huygens's descent, the camera team led by Marty Tomasko of the University of Arizona has been able to produce 3D images of the moon's surface. They show a ridge system with a peak 100 metres high. "These are water-ice ridges washed off by rainfall," Tomasko says.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/RiverInTime/Titan/CompTitan.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This composite was produced from images returned January 14, 2005, by the European Space Agency's Huygens probe during its successful descent to land on Titan. It shows the boundary between the lighter-colored uplifted terrain, marked with what appear to be drainage channels, and darker lower areas.&lt;br&gt; *(The lights, they glow.)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A single image from the Huygens Descent Imager/ Spectral Radiometer (DISR) instrument of a dark plain area on Titan, seen during descent to the landing site, that indicates flow around bright 'islands'. The areas below and above the bright islands may be at different elevations.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This image was returned January 14, 2005, by the European Space Agency's Huygens probe during its successful descent to land on Titan. This is the colored view, following processing to add reflection spectra data, and gives a better indication of the actual color of the surface.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Initially thought to be rocks or ice blocks, they are more pebble-sized. The two rock-like objects just below the middle of the image are about 15 centimeters (about 6 inches) (left) and 4 centimeters (about 1.5 inches) (center) across respectively, at a distance of about 85 centimeters (about 33 inches) from Huygens. The surface is darker than originally expected, consisting of a mixture of water and hydrocarbon ice. There is also evidence of erosion at the base of these objects, indicating possible fluvial activity. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Titan &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Weather&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;

In the first image (left), obtained on the Oct, 26, 2004 Titan flyby, from a distance of some 200,000 kilometers (124,300 miles), Titan’s skies are cloud-free, except for a patch of clouds observed over the south pole near the bottom of the image. In contrast, the image on the right shows a recent view of this same area of Titan obtained seven weeks later on the second close Titan flyby on Dec. 13, 2004, from a distance of 225,000 kilometers (139,800 miles). This image clearly shows that several extensive patches of clouds have formed over temperate latitudes. The appearance of these clouds reveals the existence of weather.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This graph shows data acquired by Cassini as it flew by Titan at an altitude of 1,200 kilometers (745 miles) on Oct. 26, 2004 - its closet approach yet to the hazy moon. The data is from Cassini's ion and neutral mass spectrometer, which detects charged and neutral particles in the atmosphere.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;
The graph reveals a diversity of hydrocarbons in the high atmosphere above Titan, including benzene and diacetylene. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/center&gt; &lt;br&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This image taken by Cassini's visual and infrared mapping spectrometer clearly shows surface features on Titan. It is a composite of false-color images taken at three infrared wavelengths: 2 microns (blue); 2.7 microns (red); and 5 microns (green). A methane cloud can be seen at the south pole (bottom of image). This picture was obtained as Cassini flew by Titan at altitudes ranging from 100,000 to 140,000 kilometers (88,000 to 63,000 miles), less than two hours before the spacecraft's closest approach. The inset picture shows the landing site of Cassini's piggybacked Huygens probe.
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;Among the surprises from those early pictures, the Titan lander revealed a landscape apparently modelled by erosion. Titan had an intricate maze of drainage channels, shoreline-like features and even pebble-shaped objects on the surface.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/RiverInTime/Titan/TShoreline.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Titan Shoreline&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;The temperature measured at ground level was indeed supercold, about minus 180 degrees Celsius (or minus 292 Fahrenheit). There is no place on Earth even remotely like Titan's winter. The lowest temperature ever recorded on earth (minus 129 °F, minus 90 Celsius) was at Vostok, Antarctica on July 21, 1983.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;(I believe we mentioned that too. So what difference does -100 make if you can survive the heart of the sun?)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Titan's atmosphere was probed and sampled for analysis at altitudes from 160 km (96 miles) to the ground, revealing a uniform mix of methane with nitrogen in the stratosphere. Methane concentration increased steadily in the troposphere down to the surface.
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clouds of methane at about 20 km (12 miles) altitude and methane or ethane fog near the surface were detected.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;/center&gt; &lt;br&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This image shows Titan in ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths. It was taken by Cassini's imaging science subsystem on Oct. 26, 2004, and is constructed from four images acquired through different color filters. Red and green colors represent infrared wavelengths and show areas where atmospheric methane absorbs light. These colors reveal a brighter (redder) northern hemisphere.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Blue represents ultraviolet wavelengths and shows the high atmosphere and detached hazes.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;
&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/RiverInTime/Titan/GrowingUp.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cassini-Huygens supplied new evidence about why Titan has an atmosphere, making it unique among all solar system moons, a University of Arizona planetary scientist says. Scientists can infer from Cassini-Huygens results that Titan has ammonia, said Jonathan I. Lunine, an interdisciplinary scientist for the European Space Agency's Huygens probe that landed on Titan last month. "I think what's clear from the data is that Titan has accreted or acquired significant amounts of ammonia, as well as water," Lunine said. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"If ammonia is present, it may be responsible for resurfacing significant parts of Titan." &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Titan is one of only four solar system terrestrial bodies that has an atmosphere.&lt;BR&gt;
That mostly nitrogen atmosphere probably came from liquid ammonia on Titan, according to UA's Jonathan Lunine. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;He predicts that Cassini instruments will find that Titan has a liquid ammonia-and-water layer beneath its hard, water-ice surface. Cassini will see -- Cassini radar has likely already seen -- places where liquid ammonia-and-water slurry erupted from extremely cold volcanoes and flowed across Titan's landscape. Ammonia in the thick mixture released in this way, called"cryovolcanism," could be the source of molecular nitrogen, the major gas in Titan's atmosphere.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;
Lunine and five other Cassini scientists reported on the latest results from the Cassini-Huygens mission at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Washington, D.C. (Feb. 19). &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cassini radar imaged a feature that resembles a basaltic flow on Earth when it made its first close pass by Titan in October 2004. Scientists believe that Titan has a rock core, surrounded by an overlying layer of rock-hard water ice. Ammonia in Titan's volcanic fluid would lower the freezing point of water, lower the fluid's density so it would be about as buoyant as water ice, and increase viscosity to about that of basalt, Lunine said. "The feature seen in the radar data suggests ammonia is at work on Titan in cryovolcanism." &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Both Cassini's Ion Neutral Mass Spectrometer and Huygen's Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer (GCMS) sampled Titan's atmosphere, covering the uppermost atmosphere down to the surface. But neither detected the non-radiogenic form of argon, said Tobias Owen of the University of Hawaii, a Cassini interdisciplinary scientist and member of the GCMS science team. That suggests that the building blocks, or "planetesimals," that formed Titan contained nitrogen mostly in the form of ammonia.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Titan's eccentric, rather than circular, orbit can be explained by the moon's subsurface liquid layer, Lunine said. Gabriel Tobie of the University of Nantes (France), Lunine and others will publish an article about it in a forthcoming issue of Icarus.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"One thing that Titan could not have done during its history is to have a liquid layer that then froze over, because during the freezing process, Titan's rotation rate would have gone way, way up," Lunine said. "So either Titan has never had a liquid layer in its interior -- which is very hard to countenance, even for a pure water-ice object, because the energy of accretion would have melted water -- or that liquid layer has been maintained up until today. And the only way you maintain that liquid layer to the present is have ammonia in the mixture." &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cassini radar spotted a crater the size of Iowa when it flew within 1,577 kilometers (980 miles) of Titan on Tuesday, Feb. 15. "It's exciting to see a remnant of an impact basin," said Lunine, who discussed more new radar results that NASA released at an AAAS news briefing today. "Big impact craters on Earth are nice places for getting hydrothermal systems. Maybe Titan has a kind of analogous 'methanothermal' system," he said.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;
&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Titan Layers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;center&gt;
&lt;a href=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/RiverInTime/Titan/TitanLayers.jpg target=_blank&gt;
&lt;img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/RiverInTime/Titan/th_TitanLayers.jpg&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;CENTER&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/RiverInTime/Titan/PairofTitans.jpg"width="480" height="220"&gt;&lt;/CENTER&gt;&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;
&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;These Titans are almost as good as Ray Harryhausen's.&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Radar results that show few impact craters is consistent with very young surfaces. "That means Titan's craters are either being obliterated by resurfacing, or they are being buried by organics," Lunine said. "We don't know which case it is." Researchers believe that hydrocarbon particles that fill Titan's hazy atmosphere fall from the sky and blanket the ground below. If this has occurred throughout Titan's history, Titan would have "the biggest hydrocarbon reservoir of any of the solid bodies in the solar system," Lunine noted. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt; 
&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In addition to the question about why Titan has an atmosphere, there are two other great questions about Saturn's giant moon, Lunine added. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A second question is how much methane has been destroyed throughout Titan's history, and where all that methane comes from. Earth-based and space-based observers have long known that Titan's atmosphere contains methane, ethane, acetylene and many other hydrocarbon compounds. Sunlight irreversibly destroys methane in Titan's upper atmosphere because the released hydrogen escapes Titan's weak gravity, leaving ethane and other hydrocarbons behind. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 
When the Huygens probe warmed Titan's damp surface where it landed, its instruments inhaled whiffs of methane. That is solid evidence that methane rain forms the complex network of narrow drainage channels running from brighter highlands to lower, flatter dark areas. Pictures from the UA-led Descent Imager-Spectral Radiometer experiment document Titan's fluvial features. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;
The third question -- one that Cassini was not really instrumented to answer -- Lunine calls the "astrobiological" question. It is, given that liquid methane and its organic products rain down from Titan's stratosphere, how far has organic chemistry progressed on Titan's surface? The question is, Lunine said, "To what extent is any possible advanced chemistry at Titan's surface at all relevant to prebiotic chemistry that presumably occurred on Earth prior to the time life began?"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Source: University of Arizona&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;

You and I are members of the Eukaryota; our cells have the organelles and nuclei to confirm this. Organelles and nuclei are not present in the other two groups. Does that mean that Archaea and Bacteria are more closely related to each other, or could it be that one of these two groups is more closely related to eukaryotes? It turns out that you (as a eukaryote) are more closely related to Archaea than to Bacteria.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;

These are the first conditional-lethal mutants that have been described for any archaeon or hyperthermophile. Furthermore, we have discovered that in several euryarchaeal species, including Methanocaldococcus (Methanococcus) jannaschii, the cells contain multiple chromosome copies. In an extension of our work to include halophilic archaea, the ftsZ cell division gene of Haloferax mediterranei has been isolated. We have also studied chromosome replication patterns and replication origin locations in Archaeoglobus fulgidus and M. jannaschii using marker frequency analysis.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scientists from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) at Columbia University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York State have developed the first-ever map of water depth in Lake Vostok, which lies between 3,700 and 4,300 meters (more than 2 miles) below the continental Antarctic ice sheet. The new comprehensive measurements of the lake—roughly the size of North America's Lake Ontario—indicate it is divided into two distinct basins that may have different water chemistry and other characteristics. The findings have important implications for the diversity of microbial life in Lake Vostok and provide a strategy for how scientists study the lake’s different ecosystems should international scientific consensus approve exploration of the pristine and ancient environment.&lt;br&gt;


The new measurements are significant because they provide a comprehensive picture of the entire lakebed and indicate that the bottom of the lake contains a previously unknown, northern sub-basin separated from the southern lakebed by a prominent ridge.&lt;br&gt;


Using laser altimeter, ice-penetrating radar and gravity measurements collected by aircraft, Studinger and Robin Bell, of LDEO, and Anahita Tikku, formerly of the University of Tokyo and now at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, estimate that Lake Vostok contains roughly 5400 cubic kilometers (1300 cubic miles) of water. Their measurements also indicate that the top of the ridge dividing the two basins is only 200 meters (650 feet) below the bottom of the icesheet. Elsewhere, the water ranges from roughly 400 meters (1,300 feet) deep in the northern basin to 800 meters (2,600 feet) deep in its southern counterpart.&lt;br&gt;


The scientists also point out that the waters of the two basins may, as a result of the separation, have a very different chemical and even biological composition. Indeed, Lake Vostok, is also of interest to those who search for microbial life elsewhere in the solar system. The lake is thought to be a very good terrestrial analog of the conditions on Europa, a frozen moon of Jupiter. If life can exist in Vostok, scientists have argued, then microbes also might thrive on Europa.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;CYANOBACTERIA (ARCHAEA)


&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/RiverInTime/Archaea/heliobac_f.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;


&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;First discovered in Thai rice paddies, the microbe known as Heliobacillus mobilis belongs to a group of bacteria called Heliobacteria. These bacteria respond to light and contain a form of chlorophyll that is intermediate to that found in green plants and cyanobacteria-the first bacteria to release oxygen on earth. Some scientists believe that early forms of cyanobacteria used energy from sunlight to transform the earth's atmosphere into an oxygen-rich blanket suitable for animal life.&lt;br&gt;


Structural similarities between the two bacteria suggest the possibility that the Heliobacterium chlorum microbe could be the direct descendant of the ancient bacterium that produced cyanobacteria.&lt;br&gt;


Further evidence to support this possibility includes the comparison of molecules called ribosomal RNA that are found in Heliobacteria and other microbes. Ribosomal RNA, which plays a crucial role in making proteins, has evolved slowly over the years. The type found in Heliobacterium chlorum closely matches the ribosomal RNA found in some older bacteria that do not respond to light, yet the RNA are strikingly different from that residing in other, more common light-sensitive bacteria. The Heliobacterium chlorum related to both cyanobacteria and older more primitive microbes seems clearly marked as an evolutionary link.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;


&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;JUST DAMN!!!&lt;br&gt;


(Obviously, what science considers LIFE is limited to what it thinks it is, not what is.) I guess those old *primitive* microbes that have built virtually everything never were life although life as we know it and life we DON"T know yet, could never have existed without it, and have no future in the entire cosmos. Still, life is expanding in the cosmos faster than we can read all the data being sent back. What they can't explain, they hide and that makes me angry. Denial of truth is worse than a lie. Science lies and swears to it. And though happenstance sometimes allows breakthroughs, there is no understanding as to why or how...only that they tried one thing and got something unexpected. Science will not and cannot tell you our origins because if they had nothing to do with it, it couldn't have happened...even with proof.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffcc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FLORIDA&lt;br&gt;


The conditions at Jewfish sink representing a transition from a freshwater to a marine system are similar to those proposed for a large sediment-filled sink in the Florida Keys (Shinn et al. 1996). My graduate student (Michael Garman) and I have measured dissolved oxygen, temperature, sulfide, nitrate, ammonia and conductance while exploring the sink using SCUBA on a series of dives approximately every other month for the past 18 months. Our preliminary observations can be summarized as follows: The water in the sinkhole appears to be stagnant except for the annual sinking of cold surface water during the winter. By summer, the sink may reach an equilibrium in which sulfide production driven by organic carbon oxidation in the anoxic bottom water is in equilibrium with oxygenated surface water. The sink becomes a diffusion system in which oxygen diffuses downward from the surface where the water is in equilibrium with the atmosphere, and sulfide diffuses upward from the bottom water where sulfate reduction occurs. Both oxygen and sulfide concentration are near zero at the chemocline. Sulfide measurements in the water below the chemocline range from 1 to 15 mg/L, while nitrate and ammonia range from 1 to 6 mg/L. The sulfide below the chemocline appears to support two communities of sulfur oxidizing bacteria as evidenced by two pH minima.&lt;br&gt; 
There is an upper community at the chemocline that likely uses oxygen as an electron acceptor and a second community below the chemocline that likely uses nitrate as and electron acceptor. The density relationships between the two sulfur oxidizing bacterial communities and the concentrations of oxygen, sulfide and nitrate can be expressed as a series of diffusion equations with initial concentrations of sulfide and nitrate dependent on the flux of organic carbon in the sinkhole There are extensive bacterial mats in the anoxic regions of Jewfish Sink that support both prokaryote and eukaryote microorganisms.&lt;br&gt;


We have collected samples from the water column in Jewfish sink from several depths above and below the chemocline as well as samples of sediment and bacterial mats. We have amplified 16S rRNA genes with eubacterial primers (Lane 1991) and cloned libraries of the 16S amplicons. We currently have several hundred independent clones from the different samples and have begun to sequence them with the intent of identify the members of the bacterial communities present in the Jewfish system by phylogenetic analysis with known sequences from Genbank. We are just beginning to repeat the process with primers specific for Archaea .&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#66ff99;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The sediment on horizontal ledges and fissures within and around the mouth of Jewfish spring support what appears to be a thriving community of nematodes and other meiofaunal animals. Meiofauna are microscopic animals between 50 and 500 microns in length and have been used as indicators of biodiversity (Kennedy and Jacoby 1999). The only macrofaunal invertebrates appear to be some encrusting sponges. Because of the high sulfide levels in these sediments, we suspect that the meiofauna are sulfide tolerant and it is likely that some of them have bacterial symbionts (ref). Hand sorting and identification of meiofauna is tedious and requires expertise that few scientists possess so we are taking a molecular approach to meiofauna similar to the approach for bacteria. To measure the biodiversity of the meiofaunal community, Melissa Adorno, an undergraduate in the lab has extracted DNA from the sediment and amplified metazoan 18S rRNA genes.&lt;br&gt;


Scientists Discover Methane Ice Worms on Gulf of Mexico Sea Floor&lt;br&gt;


"It's very cool that while we're busy speculating about life on other planets we continue to discover new forms of life in the most unlikely habitats on Earth," commented Erin McMullin, a Penn State graduate student and a member of the research expedition that discovered the methane-ice worms. Methane ice, a gas hydrate, forms naturally at the high pressure and low temperature of the deep sea, but is usually buried deep in marine sediment. The Gulf of Mexico is one of the few places where hydrate can be found exposed on the ocean bottom. Occasionally this seeping, solid methane bursts through in mounds, often six to eight feet across.&lt;/strong&gt;


&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;Very cool? Oh my!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;span style="color:#33ffcc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methane hydrates are mounds of ice (crystallized structures of methane &amp; water) that can form under conditions of low temperature and high pressure. This methane hydrate mound (right side of photo), discovered by Charles Fisher 700 meters deep in the Gulf of Mexico, is over 6 feet in diameter and has thousands of polychaete worms living on its exposed surface. The structures on the left side of the photo are tube worms.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;


&lt;strong&gt;This close-up photo shows a dense colony of one-to-two inch-long polychaete worms living on and in the surface of the methane hydrate. These worms were discovered on July 15th 1997, by Penn State Associate Professor of Biology Charles Fisher and his research team, which is just beginning to study them. They speculate that the worms may colonize the hydrates even when they are buried and that the worm's nutrition is tightly tied to the hydrate itself.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Bioluminescence is a complex chemical reaction within a cell, which releases energy in the form of light. Researchers theorize that this illumination is a form of intra-species and inter-species communication. This natural light show can be seen in a wide variety of marine organisms, such as the Aequorea aequorea, pictured here.


&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/RiverInTime/Archaea/listeria.jpg" /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;

Diatoms are a large group of microscopic algae that grow as single cells or small colonies. The lake is estimated to be over 1.6 million years old.&lt;br&gt;


Dr. Edlund's team discovered that a number of species originally described were still alive and well in Lake Hovsgol. And a number of diatoms were endemic to that lake. He confirmed the results by taking a sediment core of material from 150 years ago. He found the same species complex existed in both the core samples and in the lake today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;center&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ccccff;"&gt;The periphyton community (sessile organisms that live attached to surfaces projecting from the bottom of freshwater aquatic environments) in Lake Hovsgol contains hundreds of diatom species. Diatoms are a large group of microscopic algae that grow as single cells or small colonies.

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;This underwater photograph of the Eleutherobia species of coral was taken in a remote part of Western Australia near the town of Exmouth. This soft-bodied coral (suborder Octocorallia) has developed a powerful chemical defense system to aid in its survival. Researchers conducting chemical studies have defined the major defense agent as "eleutherobin," a chemical compound of an unusual type. In subsequent studies, they found that eleutherobin is a powerful inhibitor of cancer cell growth. Even more significant -- the compound shows selective effects against breast, ovarian, and melanoma cancers in preliminary testing. Eleutherobin is an important lead compound in the development of new treatments for these forms of cancer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ff99;"&gt;The DNA sequencing process makes it possible for researchers to discover the amino-acid sequence in a substance. Shown here is step five in the process: the end result. Once the gel plate has been moved to the DNA sequencer (see Step 4), the sequencer produces the images that allow researchers to see the nucleic acid sequence. Each color represents one of the four base chemicals that make up DNA -- A (adenine), G (guanine), C (cytosine), and T (thymine). In this image, one of the lanes on the gel image is translated into a chromatogram (the lane on the far left).&lt;/span&gt;

Enediynes are naturally occurring molecules commonly called biological warheads for their ability to bind to and split tumor's DNA backbones.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EARLY INTERVIEW: Pre Voyager:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffff;"&gt;DAVID GERGEN: By comparison--you say that the ocean goes down seven miles--what’s the highest mountain?&lt;br&gt;

WILLIAM BROAD, Author, The Universe Below: Everest is about five miles. So it’s going much deeper than the highest mountain on Earth in these deep trenches. And we know virtually nothing about it. Scientists estimate that in the huge dark biosphere that we’re talking about we might have laid eyes on maybe a hundredth or a billionth of it. It’s just a tiny, tiny fraction of what’s out there.&lt;br&gt;

DAVID GERGEN: So what they’re looking for as they go to Mars and Jupiter--there’s a landing coming on Mars this July 4th--with the Explorer--they’re looking for water; they’re looking for signs of life.&lt;br&gt;

WILLIAM BROAD: They’re looking for water. Yes. If you have liquid water, you get--the chances for life, by all estimates, are great. And that’s what they’re--that’s what they’re interested in.&lt;br&gt;
DAVID GERGEN: So they could find the origins of life, itself, somewhere out there?&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffcc;"&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/RiverInTime/Archaea/clownfish-light.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SOMEWHERE...OUT THERE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/RiverInTime/Archaea/CarinaNebula.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;This image shows a giant star-forming region in the southern sky known as the Carina Nebula (NGC 3372), combining the light from 3 different filters tracing emission from oxygen (blue), hydrogen (green), and sulphur (red). The color is also representative of the temperature in the ionized gas: blue is relatively hot and red is cooler. The Carina Nebula is a good example of how very massive stars rip apart the molecular clouds that give birth to them. The bright star near the center of the image is Eta Carinae, which is one of the most massive and luminous stars known. This picture is a composite of several exposures made with the Curtis-Schmidt telescope at the Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory (CTIO) in Chile.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;ONE MORE *IMPOSSIBLE THING.*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;


&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/RiverInTime/Archaea/cupriteblue.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;

&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffcc;"&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;This image is one of the first images ever taken of atomic bonding. The image shows the electronic bonds that hold together atoms of oxygen and copper in a compound called cuprite.
&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;This image represents the first time the covalent bonds between atoms have ever been "seen" in cuprite. The invisible nuclei of the copper atoms are at the center of the dumbbells. Nuclei of the oxygen atoms are at the center and corners of the superimposed cube. The fuzzy green clouds are less defined electron clouds representing covalent bonds between the copper atoms.&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Many chemists do not believe that such metal-to-metal bonding can occur in the material. Cuprite is a superconductor and like many similar metal oxides, it has strange electrical properties that may now be explained by these never-before-seen bonds. The work may have broad implications for new materials used in computer compounds,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;medical equipment and other devices.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;They SEE it but don't believe it. Science. Hoo, boy!&lt;br&gt;


SOMEWHERE DOWN HERE:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;


&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/RiverInTime/Archaea/BlueJet.jpg" /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;

&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffcc;"&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;A team of researchers at the Natoinal Science Foundation's Arecibo Observatory have captured video evidence from the ground of a lightning phenomenon known as a blue jet. The discovery is the first ground-based evidence linking the ionosphere with cloud tops in blue jet events.&lt;br&gt;


According to Victor Pasko of Penn State, an electrical engineer working at Arecibo, "Pilots and others reported observations of red sprites and blue jets long before the first one was captured on video, and numerous undocumented reports of similar phenomena have appeared in scientific literature for over a century."&lt;br&gt;


Blue jets develop at cloud tops at 12 to about 26 miles. They appear blue to the naked eye, last for up to several hundreds of milliseconds, and are cone-shaped. According to Sunanda Basu, program director in NSF's Division of Atmospheric Sciences, which funded the research, the video is the first ground-based evidence of a direct electrical discharge from a thundercloud top to the lower edge of Earth's ionosphere. The electrical contact may represent an important component of the global electrical circuit, says Basu.&lt;br&gt;


The event was recorded using a monochrome low-light video system, but the researchers all agree that the phenomena was seen visually as blue in color. The top of the jet appears to look much more like a red sprite than a blue jet, with hot spots and a fuzzy diffused appearance. Scientists do not yet know if this is a new phenomenon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;


&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/RiverInTime/Archaea/gfp_bac.jpg" /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffcc;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffcc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffcc;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffcc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;center&gt;
&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;
&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;A biosurfactant green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter organism fluoresces as biosurfactant is produced.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;


&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;Surfactants--or surface-active agents--are substances that lower the surface tension, a membrane-like barrier between different liquid phases that affects the ability of molecules to move from one phase to another. In addition to synthetically produced surfactants, these substances are also produced by a wide diversity of microorganisms. Some types of "biosurfactants" can bind tightly to toxic metals such as lead and cadmium. Some types can adhere strongly to surfaces, sometimes completely changing the properties of the surface.&lt;br&gt;

We want to (1) discover how much of the class of biosurfactants known as rhamnolipids are produced in soil; (2) discover how these rhamnolipids complex toxic metals such as lead and cadmium; and (3) determine how these biosurfactants interact with soil surfaces in the presence and absence of metals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;


&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/RiverInTime/Archaea/coral1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffcc;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffcc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;center&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;These Diatoms were found in a water sample taken from the Neuse River in North Carolina. When present, Diatoms--SILICON ENCASED ALGAE--indicate good water quality. The water sample was taken as part of an on-going study of the Neuse to determine how pollutants are being transferred into the river.

&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Well. What DO they know?&lt;br&gt;


By now you might think they WOULD know that without ALL of the above and zillions more just as diverse, what comes after would never have been possible. Nano technology is frankly nothing more than the use of already present building blocks, (Archaea,) in a different setting. It is Archaea adapting to its surroundings by whatever means, but it is not the creation of new life. Yet some idiot scientist is trying to fleece the public for money to CREATE a complete and new LIFE from what he perceives as nothing. The insane become more insane.&lt;br&gt;


Now we know water is not the be all and end all for life out there. The trouble is, will science accept life even if it isn't like us? Will they call it life and allow it to proceed as it should, or will they, as I hear is being speculated by armchair space cowboys, *inject* greenhouse gases onto a planet that already has thriving life which might be destroyed?&lt;br&gt;


This isn't science. It would be abuse of the cosmos and a prime example of our vanity. There are other places out there that could be perfectly suited to us, but we'll never get the chance to find it if we try to murder everything in our line of tunnel vision. We have been given the opportunity to learn the majesty of what is. After all, something is keeping our little machines in perfect working order. We are not Archaea that can live in any environment. They are all there is. G-d. Creation. We can never create what has already been. But we can do as our parents did in a place they could survive without destroying what was already here when they came. They gave us a part of themselves and a chance to do unto others. But not like this. They will destroy us first. And we will deserve it. The planet can survive without us. We can not survive without IT.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;

Nanometer scale wires (about one thousandth the diameter of a human hair) of a silicon-carbon material (silicon carbide) are grown from tiny droplets of a liquid metal (Gallium) on a silicon surface, like the chips inside our home computers. The wires grow as a gas containing methane flows over the surface. The gas reacts at the surface of the droplets and condenses to form the wires. By changing the temperature and pressure of the growth process the wires can be controllably fused together in a natural process to form a range of new structures, including these flower-like materials.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;center&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#66ff99;"&gt;This 220-million-year-old fossil offers evidence that dinosaurs were not ancestral to birds.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;


&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;An archosaur called Longisquama insignis, a small reptile roughly the size of a mouse, has ignited scientific controversy due to the six vane-like appendages attached to either side of Longisquama's back. Longisquama's lived about 220 million years ago in Asia, during the late Triassic era. Some researchers believe the appendages were non-avian feathers and that early archosaurs were the ancestors of modern birds. Longisquama is controversial because it's not a dinosaur, and most paleontologists believe that birds evolved from dinosaurs.&lt;br&gt;


In 1999, a team of scientists who studied the fossil found arresting parallels between the appendages and feathers, most notably, a hollow shaft with a sheath characteristic of modern feathers. Some scientists believe this shows that the genetic and developmental potential to produce feathers was present in these early archosaurs. The team also reached the conclusion that the feathers weren't used for thermoregulation but likely allowed the creature to glide between trees.&lt;br&gt;


However, many scientists believe that features as specialized as feathers had only one path of evolution so if feathers evolved from Longisquama's, which occupies one branch of the archosaur family (a subclass of reptiles), they are unlikely also to have evolved in another archosaur, like theropods. Paleontologists who do believe that birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs cite skeletal similarities to back up their claim.&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;span style="color:#66cccc;"&gt;Magnified approximately 1,700 times with a scanning electron microscope, a group of single-celled algae (euglenophytes) show their ability to change within a second or two.

&lt;span style="color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;At approximately 32 million years old, these are two of the oldest skulls ever found that appear (???) to belong to the direct ancestry of humans. The skull on the right is that of a mature male, the other that of an adult female. Both come from an excavation site in the wind-swept badlands of the Fayum Province southwest of Cairo, Egypt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;center&gt;


&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffcc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;UMMM. DOES ANYBODY NOTICE THE EXTREME DIFFERENCES IN THE FACIAL AND CRANIAL STRUCTURES OF THIS PAIR?&lt;br&gt;


The only thing that relates them to each other is that they both have eye sockets and teeth. Yet science has displayed them as a pair though the facial and cranial bone structures are totally incompatible.&lt;br&gt;


Where are the thick bony prominences of the skull on the *female*? Where is the wide bony bridge between the mouth and the nose on the female? Where is the protruding bone on the chin of the female? Why does the female's whole face slope gently back and the *male* looks simply gorilla-like? Why is the female cranial cavity so much smaller and the bone looks so much more fragile?&lt;br&gt;


If *science* says these two were human, they have deliberately perpetrated a hoax on themselves. One skull is clearly leaps and bounds ahead of the ape-like skull that looks as if it was formed to butt itself against rocks and fight off falling boulders.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;

It shows a full 360-degree view around Huygens. The left-hand side, behind Huygens, shows a boundary between light and dark areas. The white streaks seen near this boundary could be ground 'fog' of methane or ethane vapour, as they were not immediately visible from higher altitudes. As the probe descended, it drifted over a plateau (centre of image) and was heading towards its landing site in a dark area (right). This dark area is possibly a drainage channel which might still contain liquid material. From the drift of the probe, the wind speed has been estimated at around 6-7 metres per second. These images were taken from an altitude of about 8 kilometres with a resolution of about 20 metres per pixel&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;More about methane later...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/RiverInTime/Archaea/ThemEqualsAll.gif" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffff;"&gt;The Domain Archaea wasn't recognized as a major domain of life until quite recently. Until the 20th century, most biologists considered all living things to be classifiable as either a plant or an animal. But in the 1950s and 1960s, most biologists came to the realization that this system failed to accomodate the fungi, protists, and bacteria. By the 1970s, a system of Five Kingdoms had come to be accepted as the model by which all living things could be classified. At a more fundamental level, a distinction was made between the prokaryotic bacteria and the four eukaryotic kingdoms (plants, animals, fungi, &amp; protists). The distinction recognizes the common traits that eukaryotic organisms share, such as nuclei, cytoskeletons, and internal membranes.
The scientific community was understandably shocked in the late 1970s by the discovery of an entirely new, &lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;(NEW???)&lt;/span&gt; group of organisms -- the Archaea. Dr. Carl Woese and his colleagues at the University of Illinois were studying relationships among the prokaryotes using DNA sequences, and found that there were two distinctly different groups. Those "bacteria" that lived at high temperatures or produced methane clustered together as a group well away from the usual bacteria and the eukaryotes. Because of this vast difference in genetic makeup, Woese proposed that life be divided into three domains: Eukaryota, Eubacteria, and Archaebacteria. He later decided that the term Archaebacteria was a misnomer, and shortened it to Archaea. The three domains are shown in the illustration above , which illustrates also that each group is very different from the others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;(I find this almost absurd on its face. Here are BEINGS that have been here for 4 BILLION years and in THEIR time, it might seem a mere batting of an eyelash, but for US, that would be 4 thousand, MILLION centuries, 4 MILLION millenia, and when did we show up? Its been a few centuries now that we have had the ability to find these marvels, but no one was looking. We should have been.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffff;"&gt;Further work has revealed additional surprises, which you can read about on the other pages of this exhibit. It is true that most archaeans don't look that different from bacteria under the microscope, and that the extreme conditions under which many species live has made them difficult to culture, so their unique place among living organisms long went unrecognized. However, biochemically and genetically, they are as different from bacteria as you are. Although many books and articles still refer to them as "Archaebacteria", that term has been abandoned because they aren't bacteria -- they're Archaea.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffff;"&gt;
Archaeans include inhabitants of some of the most extreme environments on the planet. Some live near rift vents in the deep sea at temperatures well over 100 degrees Centigrade. Others live in hot springs (such as the ones pictured above), or in extremely alkaline or acid waters. They have been found thriving inside the digestive tracts of cows, termites, and marine life where they produce methane. They live in the anoxic muds of marshes and at the bottom of the ocean, and even thrive in petroleum deposits deep underground. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffff;"&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;
Some archaeans can survive the dessicating effects of extremely saline waters. One salt-loving group of archaea includes Halobacterium, a well-studied archaean. The light-sensitive pigment bacteriorhodopsin gives Halobacterium its color and provides it with chemical energy. Bacteriorhodopsin has a lovely purple color and it pumps protons to the outside of the membrane. When these protons flow back, they are used in the synthesis of ATP, which is the energy source of the cell. This protein is chemically very similar to the light-detecting pigment rhodopsin, found in the vertebrate retina.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#66ff99;"&gt;(Being early in the research phase, they did not realize that Archaea can create their own light with absolutely no other source of light to draw from and can live in the most ridiculously low, frigid temperatures whether it be in Antarctica or the cosmic winds. They are complete within themselves and can group together and become complete as something else as they will it. So there is no such thing as nothing, nowhere there isn't something, and we have never been alone in the universe.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v76/NixTwo/Candles/AmberGlo.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffff;"&gt;Archaeans may be the only organisms that can live in extreme habitats such as thermal vents or hypersaline water. They may be extremely abundant in environments that are hostile to all other life forms. However, archaeans are not restricted to extreme environments; new research is showing that archaeans are also quite abundant in the plankton of the open sea. Much is still to be learned about these microbes, but it is clear that the Archaea is a remarkably diverse and successful clade of organisms. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffff;"&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;
In the case of the Archaea, there is a very good candidate to preserve as a molecular fossil from the cell membrane. Archeal membranes do not contain the same lipids (oily compounds) that other organisms do; instead, their membranes are formed from isoprene chains. Because these particular isoprene structures are unique to archaeans, and because they are not as prone to decomposition at high temperatures, they make good markers for the presence of ancient Archaea. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;
Molecular fossils of Archaea in the form of isoprenoid residues were first reported from the Messel oil shale of Germany (Michaelis &amp; Albrecht, 1979). These are Miocene desposits whose geologic history is well known. Material from the shale was dissolved and analyzed using a combination of chromatography and mass spectrometry. These processes work by separating compounds by weight and other properties, and produce a "chemical fingerprint". The fingerprint of the Messel shale included isoprene compounds identical to those found in some archaeans. Based on the geologic history of the Messel area, thermophiles and halophiles are not likely to have ever lived there, so the most likely culprits to have left these chemical fingerprints behind are archaeal methanogens (methane-producers).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#66ff99;"&gt;(Chemical fingerprints. NOT fossils. Footprints in dried cement are not fossils. Handprints of movie stars in Hollywierd are not fossils. It only means they left prints. Period.)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Since their discovery in the Messel shales, isoprene compounds indicative of ancient Archaea have been found in numerous other localities (Hahn &amp;amp; Haug, 1986), including Mesozoic, Paleozoic, and Precambrian sediments. Their chemical traces have even been found in sediments from the Isua district of west Greenland, the oldest known sediments on Earth at about 3.8 billion years old. This means that the Archaea (and life in general) appeared on Earth within one billion years of the planet's formation, and at a time when conditions were still quite inhospitable for life as we usually think of it. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;
The atmosphere of the young Earth was rich in ammonia and methane, and was probably very hot. Such conditions, while toxic to plants and animals, can be quite cozy for archaeans. Rather than being oddball organisms evolved to survive in unusual conditions, the Archaea may represent remnants of once-thriving communities that dominated the world when it was young.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/RiverInTime/Archaea/whatitis.gif" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#66ff99;"&gt;It seems to me it means that Archaea were here in the beginning and never gave up an inch of territory. Since this was fairly early research, I can understand how easily their eternal uniqueness could be underestimated. I can't understand it anymore. Every clue as to what they are is apparent, even in the earliest research. So after all this time, and after it has been found virtually everywhere, I have to believe that science simply does not want to admit that these most minute of creatures are what comprise the whole of the universe, including the makeup of other life forms which include both us, and the opposite of us. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#66ff99;"&gt;It builds itself into whatever it needs to be, whatever it wants to be. They make up planets, stars, galaxies, moons, asteroids, comets, gases, liquid methane rivers, red rock, green leaves, blue waters, pink waters, winds, snow, hail, rain, dirt...animals we know and many life forms we don't know in many places we have never even seen yet. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#66ff99;"&gt;One of the questions in Job was how many children are in the universe. The answer is infinte because they cannot be numbered...and they continue to multiply so the universes expand exponentially. There might be as many universes as there are stars in the galaxies. When someone says a thing is impossible, I say that with G-d, all things are possible. A lot of people say that, but don't mean it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#66ff99;"&gt;I mean it.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;3) Isoprenoid chains : The side chains in the phospholipids of bacteria and eukaryotes are fatty acids, chains of usually 16 to 18 carbon atoms. Archaea do not use fatty acids to build their membrane phospholipids. Instead, they have side chains of 20 carbon atoms built from isoprene.
Isoprene is the simplest member of a class of chemicals called terpenes. By definition, a terpene is any molecule bilt by connecting isoprene molecules together, rather like building with Lego® blocks. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Each isoprene unit has a "head" and a "tail" end (again like a Lego® block), but unlike their toy counterparts, isoprene blocks can be joined in many ways. A head can be attached to a tail or to another head end, and tails can be similarly joined. The immense variety of terpene compounds that can be built from simple isoprene units include beta-carotene (a vitamin), natural and synthetic rubbers, plant essential oils (such as spearmint), and steroid hormones (such as estrogen and testosterone).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#66ff99;"&gt;Duhhh!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffff;"&gt;(4) Branching of side chains : Not only are the side chains of achaeal membranes built from different components, but the chains themselves have a different physical structure. Because isoprene is used to build the side chains, there are side branches off the main chain. The fatty acids of bacteria and eukaryotes do not have these side branches (the best they can manage is a slight bend in the middle), and this creates some interesting properties in archaeal membranes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;
&lt;span style="color:#33ffff;"&gt;For example, the isoprene side chains can be joined together. This can mean that the two side chains of a single phospholipid can join together, or they can be joined to side chains of another phospholipid on the other side of the membrane. No other group of organisms can form such transmembrane phospholipids. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;
&lt;span style="color:#33ffff;"&gt;Another interesting property of the side branches is their ability to form carbon rings. This happens when one of the side branches curls around and bonds with another atom down the chain to make a ring of five carbon atoms. Such rings are thought to provide structural stability to the membrane, since they seem to be more common among species that live at high temperatures. They may work in the same way that cholesterol does in eukaryotic cells to stabilize membranes. It's interesting to note that cholesterol is another terpene!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;SMACK!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;
I have ALWAYS known oil was never a fossil fuel. Earth needs it to survive so it always gets as much as it needs or we would grind ourselves into dust. Now, science knows it was never fossil fuel as well, but they still insist on repeating the lie for the same reason they won't flood the market with real diamonds. There's just too much money in keeping it scarce. Diamonds are worthless when you know that most of the diamonds in the world are tucked away somewhere to keep them off the market. If anyone ever decided to dump the diamonds out into the public, they wouldn't be worth one piece of beach sand.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;These little wonders are the miracle of creation itself so it can't be named Or numbered, but the number 7, which is the number assigned to G-d, is the number at which arrested atoms become dense matter. Do you think it got into the Book by sheer coincidence?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;We have been taught so many things and never paid attention. I take that back. I paid attention...and still do. Others should as well because not to is just stupid beyond belief.As of 1998, *science* remained convinced that the starstuff could only live in the harshest of environments. They were wrong. They are in the air we breathe. They are within and without. Do you realize that the membranes of your stomach withstand digestive fluids that could dissolve an aluminum pan. How do you think you DO that???&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffff;"&gt;An enzyme, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), is derived from a member of the archaea called Sulfolobus solfataricus. It works under some of nature's harshest volcanic conditions: It can survive to 88 deg. C (190 deg. F) - nearly boiling - and corrosive acid conditions (pH=3.5) approaching the sulfuric acid found in a car battery (pH=2). ADH catalyzes the conversion of alcohols and has considerable potential for biotechnology applications due to its stability under these extreme conditions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Fairly amazing, ain't it?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Well, Truth finds a way if we are open to it. Why is it that so many of us simply do not want to know?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;OY!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v76/NixTwo/Am%20Yisrael%20Chai/Shabbos.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;SHABBOT SHALOM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;SEZ NITZANA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6607104-110812796851003069?l=nixtwo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/archaea/archaea.html' title='&lt;font color=&quot;#00FFCC&quot;&gt;&lt;B&gt;LIFE&apos;S EXTREMISTS?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nixtwo.blogspot.com/feeds/110812796851003069/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6607104&amp;postID=110812796851003069' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6607104/posts/default/110812796851003069'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6607104/posts/default/110812796851003069'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nixtwo.blogspot.com/2005/02/lifes-extremists.html' title='&lt;font color=&quot;#00FFCC&quot;&gt;&lt;B&gt;LIFE&apos;S EXTREMISTS?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;'/><author><name>After Midnight</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dCY44cNtLko/TIOaIHBH53I/AAAAAAAAABE/XB3OE6-LgRs/S220/WinterPatchDark.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6607104.post-110794953306244873</id><published>2005-02-09T06:27:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2005-02-09T06:45:33.063-05:00</updated><title type='text'>HAVE YE NOT LEARNED, O, ISRAEL?</title><content type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ccffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

6. O thou sword of the Lord, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? Put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#ccffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7. How can it be quiet, seeing the Lord hath given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea-shore? there
hath he appointed it.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#ccffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Joel &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#ccffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And it shall come to pass
afterward, that I will pour
out My spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and
your daughters shall prophesy,
your old men shall dream dreams, your young
men shall see visions; 2 And also
upon the servants and upon the handmaids
in those days will I pour out My
spirit. 3 And I will shew wonders in the
heavens and in the earth, blood, and
fire, and pillars of smoke. 4 The sun
shall be turned into darkness, and the
moon into blood, before the great and
terrible day of HaShem come. 5 And it
shall come to pass, that whosoever
shall call on the name of HaShem shall be
delivered; for in mount Zion and
in Jerusalem there shall be those that escape,
as HaShem hath said, and
among the remnant those whom HaShem shall
call.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Ezekiel&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;OSLO-ROAD MAP-LIES&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;And the word of HaShem came unto me, saying: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;2 'Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own heart: Hear ye the word of HaShem: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;3 Thus saith the L-rd GOD: Woe unto the vile prophets, that follow their own spirit, and things which they have not seen! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;4 O Israel, thy prophets have been like foxes in ruins. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;5 Ye have not gone up into the breaches, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the day of HaShem. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;6 They have seen vanity and lying divination, that say: HaShem saith; and HaShem hath not sent them, yet they hope that the word would be confirmed! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;7 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say: HaShem saith; albeit I have not spoken? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;8 Therefore thus saith the L-rd GOD: Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the L-rd GOD. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;9 And My hand shall be against the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies; they shall not be in the council of My people, neither shall they be written in the register of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the L-rd GOD. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;HAIL IN JERUSALEM&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;10 Because, even because they have led My people astray, saying: Peace, and there is no peace; and when it buildeth up a slight wall, behold, they daub it with whited plaster; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;11 say unto them that daub it with whited plaster, that it shall fall; there shall be an overflowing shower, and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall, and a stormy wind shall break forth, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;12 and, lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you: Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;13 Therefore thus saith the L-rd GOD: I will even cause a stormy wind to break forth in My fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in Mine anger, and great hailstones in fury to consume it. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with whited plaster, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be uncovered; and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I am HaShem. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;15 Thus will I spend My fury upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with whited plaster; and I will say unto you: The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it; 16 to wit, the prophets of Israel that prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and that see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the L-rd GOD. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;ABORTION&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;17 And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, that prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them, 18 and say: Thus saith the L-rd GOD: Woe to the women that sew cushions upon all elbows, and make pads for the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of My people, and save souls alive for yourselves? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;19 And ye have profaned Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for crumbs of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to My people that hearken unto lies. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;20 Wherefore thus saith the L-rd GOD: Behold, I am against your cushions, wherewith ye hunt the souls as birds, and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt as birds. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;21 Your pads also will I tear, and deliver My people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am HaShem. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;22 Because with lies ye have cowed the heart of the righteous, when I have not grieved him; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, that he be saved alive; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;23 therefore ye shall no more see vanity, nor divine divinations; and I will deliver My people out of your hand; and ye shall know that I am HaShem.' And the word of HaShem came unto me, saying: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;14 'Son of man, prophesy, and say: Thus saith HaShem: Say: A sword, a sword, it is sharpened, and also furbished: 1&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;5 It is sharpened that it may make a sore slaughter, it is furbished that it may glitter--or shall we make mirth? --against the rod of My son, contemning every tree. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;16 And it is given to be furbished, that it may be handled; the sword, it is sharpened, yea, it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;17 Cry and wail, son of man; for it is upon My people, it is upon all the princes of Israel; they are thrust down to the sword with My people; smite therefore upon thy thigh. 18 For there is a trial; and what if it contemn even the rod? It shall be no more, saith the L-rd GOD. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;19 Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thy hands together; and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of those to be slain; it is the sword of the great one that is to be slain, which compasseth them about. 20 I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied; ah! it is made glittering, it is sharpened for slaughter. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;21 Go thee one way to the right, or direct thyself to the left; whither is thy face set? 22 I will also smite My hands together, and I will satisfy My fury; I HaShem have spoken it.' 'Son of man, say unto her: Thou art a land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;25 There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls, they take treasure and precious things, they have made her widows many in the midst thereof. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;26 Her priests have done violence to My law, and have profaned My holy things; they have put no difference between the holy and the common, neither have they taught difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from My sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;27 Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey: to shed blood, and to destroy souls, so as to get dishonest gain. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;28 And her prophets have daubed for them with whited plaster, seeing falsehood, and divining lies unto them, saying: Thus saith the L-rd GOD, when HaShem hath not spoken. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6607104-110794953306244873?l=nixtwo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nixtwo.blogspot.com/feeds/110794953306244873/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6607104&amp;postID=110794953306244873' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6607104/posts/default/110794953306244873'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6607104/posts/default/110794953306244873'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nixtwo.blogspot.com/2005/02/have-ye-not-learned-o-israel.html' title='&lt;font color=&quot;00ffcc&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;HAVE YE NOT LEARNED, O, ISRAEL?&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;'/><author><name>After Midnight</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dCY44cNtLko/TIOaIHBH53I/AAAAAAAAABE/XB3OE6-LgRs/S220/WinterPatchDark.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6607104.post-110789466986969766</id><published>2005-02-08T15:26:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2005-02-08T17:37:01.290-05:00</updated><title type='text'>DEVOLUTION/WHY?</title><content type='html'>&lt;center&gt;&lt;img height="475" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/RiverInTime/CosmicAngel/LostFound.jpg" width="475" /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;
&lt;span style="color:#00ffcc;"&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00ffcc;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So now you will read another of my
personal quotes, one of my favorites at that. My FIRST mother might have been an
ape, but my father NEVER was.&lt;br&gt;

Job is the ultimate journal of our birth and the rules which we were supposed to follow and yet we remain blind. Everything we are supposed to know exists right here and humanity has failed miserably to learn. When the cult of science scooped up the building blocks of the universe, the first thing they tried to do was murder it.&lt;br&gt;

It is found virtually everywhere including the farthest reaches of space and under our deepest oceans and yet they continue to peer at it through the lenses in their
microsopes and telescopes and have not the faintest idea what they see.&lt;br&gt; 
They have seen a wonderland of life, light, and beauty in the deepest oceans where no light can reach. We have oil fields filling up faster than we can pump oil out of the ground. We have a horizontal coral reef that is supposed to be impossible, yet it DOES exist and it was built right under their noses.&lt;br&gt;

It was found on the hulls of spacecraft which were superheated on re-entry. Break open a solid rock and there they are. They live in acid vents. Lava. The Antarctic and Arctic. The moon and Mars, Saturn and Jupiter, Io and Titan with its liquid methane rivers, and beyond. Even the sun is home for them. They ARE the Cosmic Sea. They are the universal body and yet you would commit these atrocities.&lt;br&gt;

Now they have found a piece of debris from the Space Shuttle Columbia at the bottom of the Pacific TEEMING WITH LIFEFORMS THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.&lt;br&gt;

Oh, my, but science is ALWAYS just shocked and amazed because these minute creatures can become anything and everything, or just float around in heaven all day. And science STILL does not understand that it is CREATION itself they are trying to place in petrie dishes, test tubes, vacuum chambers, and radiation chambers, and trying to murder in any way they can think of. Shock indeed they don't die. The arrogance of man is astounding.&lt;br&gt;  

Science honors creation by giving it a "domain," Archaea, and trys to
stick it into tiny separate niches where science thinks it belongs.&lt;br&gt;

You could not exist without them and cannot rebuild yourself without them, but since
you refuse to acknowledge there really is a power greater than yourselves, they
are backing away from you as a people and you are reverting to what you
originally were. Knowledge and understanding was yours for the learning, but you
refused to learn. You seem to be so illogical and so insane that even the most
obvious truths are lost on you.&lt;br&gt;

As we are made up of many things which remain unseen to our naked eyes, thus it is with the Bodies of Universes, and yet it is all ONE...and it began with ONE. Just like your little nanite buddies.&lt;br&gt;

You don't understand time because to have spent so much of it pretending
that you were the only lifeform in infinity. How puny you are in the face of
that.&lt;br&gt;

If you even want to try and understand that time and space work so
much differently than you think, take a look with your own eyes at what has been
happening to people all around you since just a few years ago when the earth
began moving just a teensy bit slower. Gravity changes occurred. Except for those who are being deliberately starved to death, we have an epidemic of obesity, but you
would, or the Communists of Nutrition would, prefer to blame McDonalds'. Taller people are being bent over. People eat far less today than our parents ate in the past, but the metabolism is different depending where you are.&lt;br&gt;
Yep. It's really all because of global warming and overeating.&lt;br&gt;
People, you can NOT microwave the ionosphere the same way you fart in a
department store, then turn around and say, "Who? Me?"&lt;br&gt;

What happened then was manmade, an experiment wherein no one knew or bothered to calculate the outcome. So it happened very quickly and there was no time to adapt.
Yet it taught no one anything. Still more folly is already in progress with no idea
whatsover of the incredible damage it could cause, and not just to ourselves.
Just exactly what DOES happen when you try to smash a hole in a comet, in
space, without even knowing what it is made of? What IDIOT would even suggest
such a thing, let alone try and do it?&lt;br&gt;

Why, us, of course.&lt;br&gt; 
How do you teach an unteachable mind? You fill it with THEORY and call it fact. They act on THEORY and call it science. It is GARBAGE. The reason they are doing this is
bereft of logic. More on that too, later.&lt;br&gt;

We have also had an epidemic of lunacy, but we prefer to call that brainwashing. Well, just what is brainwashing if it isn't the lunatics convincing other lunatics they're just alright? It seems that far more people have been willing to assume that role and their brains simply could not handle the extra pressure. The change of time and space and all that it comprises has driven you over the edge and your angels
have departed.&lt;br&gt;

And now look around you in the short amount of *time* since the earth has teetered once again and speeded up tiny bit this time. I had waited to see what the outcome of this would be and it didn't take very long.&lt;br&gt;
Insanity is indeed on the rise. What was barbarism has reached the depths of
animal depravity and you can almost see the regression from man to beast all
over the world. I fear that we will pay a mighty price for what we have NOT done
with the gift we have been given.&lt;br&gt;

I have watched these past weeks as people aged years in front of my eyes. At first I thought I was imagining this, but it isn't my imagination. It is very real and very noticeable. Call out the tinfoil squad, but let me give you some advice. If you have any smarts at all and a semblance of conscience, look deep, and look wisely and well because there is only escape for a few and it will be the few who can leap ahead in the evolutionary cycle very, very quickly, because THIS is NOT manmade and it is not
over by a longshot.&lt;br&gt;

If you would like to try an experiment, grab a sheet of paper and a ton of black lead pencils. Put a dot on the sheet of paper and continue dotting the paper until it is completely covered. Do it again to the same sheet of paper over and over until you run out of pencils. You could conceivably do that in your forever until all the pencils in the world were used up...but the point is, after you have run out of pencils, can you possibly find that ONE dot that you started with?&lt;br&gt;

Then try to imagine infinity.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cc99;"&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;INFINITELY YOURS&lt;br&gt;

And I have much more, but have 

not known how to put it all into words. Some of it is far more advanced than we have been given to 

understand. I have been given a true gift. While researching Bat Kol, I realized that many things I 

have known throughout my life,(prophecies,) and still learn, (prophecy,) did/does not originate with 

me but it has been continuous since early childhood.&lt;br&gt;

This has been being monitored by a reliable witness for the last 6 years and I have never been 

wrong. Never. Even with many things thought to be impossible or improbable. Rabbis with whom I 

have tried to speak are too steeped in tradition to open their minds to understanding that the Old 

Testament is far, far more explanatory than its prose and poetry form would allow one to surmise. It 

is as if all the words, even those that weren't there, all the true meaning, had somehow clarified in 

my mind and I KNEW it was true. The logic was absolute, and has been throughout the entire time. 

Clarity that I honestly do not perceive in the mind of man, and a profound sense of frustration that 

man has not passed the true test of humanity by understanding the reality of it all.&lt;br&gt;
One Yeshiva Rabbi berated me for quoting from non-Hebrew Scriptures, Genisis 6. I asked him who 

were the sons of G-d. I had to produce the text from my Bible which is the 1943 Edition of Hebrew 

Scriptures, JPS.&lt;br&gt;He told me he had not even realized that was in there, so, of course, he had no 

answers.&lt;br&gt;
The Nephilim were dinosaurs, not men of renown as so many people have surmised. Job is the 

explanation of all of these things.&lt;br&gt;
The Book of Job is a rule book given to us as a guide, as well as the history of how the gift of MIND, 

(understanding,) was passed to us, and how evolution was facillitated over many generations 

because of the infusion of a DNA alien to earth,(e.g., SONS of G-d,) passed down through generations 

by Mitachondrial DNA because the fathers are not present. Job is an all encompassing word for 

MAN. The afflictions described in Job were generations of transitions and did not happen in a single 

lifetime. It also opens up many vistas because the interpretation of the Spirit which G-d said would 

not abide in us forever is not true. It abides with us because it is our birthright. It means that we 

have not understood our own potential, have literally been prevented from doing so, by those who in 

ancient times had no clue, and no one has disabused us of this notion because the power remains in 

the hands of those who stopped us from learning many thousands of years ago.&lt;br&gt;No one cares to 

disabuse us of that notion even now because that good old time tradition dictates we are what we 

are and can be no better. They have placed themselves in the way of our uplifting and call it 

righteous. I call it holding on to a power it was never theirs to hold.&lt;br&gt;
Those who say they believe in G-d worship men, and man can never do what he is supposed to do 

as long as the *believers* control what our knowledge of G-d is.&lt;br&gt;
Job is far older than the Septaguint, spoken to, and by early humans, and passed on to this day. It 

was never understood, and yet it is completely descriptive, not a lesson in obedience or faith at all.  Job spanned generations. It is a history, full and complete, of the Dawn of Humanity, but terribly misplaced because no one understood, and by the time things got written down, the words still SEEMED important, but the meaning had been lost...so they made of it an allegory, a biblical Aesop's Fable, and added the writer's own version in a place of relative unimportance in the order of things.&lt;br&gt;
The Truth and the Order of things is of utmost importance.&lt;br&gt;
For instance:&lt;br&gt;
The Song of Solomen is believed to be a tale of undying love told in what some say is beautiful poetry. That could not be further from the truth.&lt;br&gt;
The Song of Solomen is a tale of decadence, debauchery, blasphemy, and the resultant fall of Israel 

as a power. It began with David's greatest sin and Solomen fulfilled the punishment by doing 

absolutely everything the Lord had commanded NEVER be done.&lt;br&gt;More about that in posts to come.&lt;br&gt;
Even back in the most ancient of days, humans knew that to go forward was to mate with like kind. In the Day Of Sarah, we were SHOWN that bloodlines must be traced by the Mother. No one had a clue about Mitochondrial DNA, yet going forward was always through women who were specifically chosen for that purpose.  But as with all peoples, inbreeding stops forward mobility, so the same Force who chose Sarah, prodded loose from Egypt a myriad of differing peoples with different ethnicities and they were given a set of rules to follow. No racism. Be clean. Eat right. Beware disease. No wasting of the seed. Meld. Multiply.&lt;br&gt; And so they did, but it was not an accident, it was planned.  It was not without rigors and many did not make it through. Two generations of them passed before they were considered a People. So many rules and Laws for such a band of wanderers. I Am swore allegiance to them, and they to I Am. The result was a gene pool that could not help but go forward.&lt;br&gt;
Alas, when I Am departed from them....But that is yet another story.&lt;br&gt;
From 2002:************************&lt;br&gt;

If you read "Job" without the flowery Biblical prose, you will realize that it was a manual 

given/spoken to us long before the Bible was ever written. It speaks of behemoths, (dinosaurs,) and 

describes the cooling of the earth's crust. It was somehow changed into an allegory about a 

righteous man, but that was not what it was meant to be. It was the way to follow the path to actual 

humanity. Unfortunately, many of us didn't get that far.&lt;br&gt;

Years ago, when I first asked my Rabbi about Gen: 6,  and he told me I could not possibly be reading 

from a Hebrew Bible, I showed him, but he still had no answers. He isn't the only one, because 

unfortunately, even my people have forgotten G-d's FIRST LAW handed down through countless 

generations before it was ever written. To be Human requires conscience. To STAY Human requires learning. They learned what men taught, but not what the Sons of G-d required. The requirements are in the Book of Job. You still have not learned.&lt;br&gt;
Job is an absolute history of what happened when humanity had finally taken the different path from the families of *men* they had been bred from.Following Job from the beginning of his travails to the end, you see that he had lost all resemblance to those around him and was utterly, completely, and totally different...so different that his tribe abandoned him to his own devices, literally expecting him to die. This is about Job, but Job is a metaphor for all of those who found themselves having 

passed through a divergent evolution.&lt;br&gt; Henceforth JOB=HUMANITY.&lt;br&gt;

JOB---G-D'S POP QUIZ&lt;br&gt;

Do you know how the earth was formed and how long it took?&lt;br&gt;

Do you know how the planet works?&lt;br&gt;

Have you learned everything there is to know about what is above
and what is below the oceans?&lt;br&gt;

Do you know what makes the wind blow?&lt;br&gt;

Do you know WHY you know to wear warm clothes in winter?&lt;br&gt;

Do you know how old G-d is?&lt;br&gt;

Do you know how many other children are in the universe?&lt;br&gt;

Do you understand that G-d has no regard for you; good or bad?&lt;br&gt;

Have you gone through death and returned?&lt;br&gt;

Where is the way to the dwelling of light?&lt;br&gt;

Is there a place for darkness?&lt;br&gt;

Do you know that there are walls in place so that you cannot
leave here until you know and understand the way of the Universe
enough to satisfy the Sons of G-d?&lt;br&gt;

Those were the questions posed to Job, and all who were before
him, and all who came after him.&lt;br&gt;

Do you know all these things, because if you don't, you should.&lt;br&gt;

You were born knowing.That has always been G-d's gift to bring *people* into HUMANITY.&lt;br&gt;

From 2004:****************************&lt;br&gt;
If there is any Book in the Holy Scriptures we should have long since paid more attention to, Job was 

a history much older than anything was ever written. It is my belief that it was the explanation of, and rule book or guide book, to the first awakened human minds. These *people* were the different ones, the ones whose changes in form and thought were too apparent to continue being accepted. They were indeed the sons and daughters of the Sons of G-d. Those parents passed their DNA on to a chosen few amongst an already existing population, who, although socialized into tribes, were not privy to the mind of creation, nor able to create a separate race from within their ranks.&lt;br&gt; Enter THE MISSING LINK.&lt;br&gt;

This gift could only be passed on through the female of the species since men cannot have children. 

Ergo, the existence of Mitochondrial DNA which can only be transferred through the mother. This 

was the gift.&lt;br&gt;
This was the passing on of an intelligence which did not exist before The Sons of G-d bestowed it 

upon us. But they didn't give us this gift without conditions and a guide for its use.&lt;br&gt;

In Gen: 6, it not only speaks of the Sons of G-d, but most people do not read it clearly.&lt;br&gt;
To understand Gen: 6, you have to understand that *men* was a reference to bipeds, not humans. 

To understand , in those days before *human* mind, all groups of things in whatever form, 

if they were alike, were considered a *people*, even ants. Bipeds were considered *man*.&lt;br&gt;

Though Gen: 6 was written long after Job, it still contains the original sense passed on by traditional word of mouth, until finally written, that we are truly the procreations of The SONS of G-d. The allegories of Adam and Eve were supposed to teach us good from evil, but logic dictates that someone wrote it, so good and evil were already known qualities. Ironically, no one pays attention to the fact that no one ever told that Eve not to eat of KNOWLEDGE. that is yet another story.&lt;br&gt;
Suffice it to say, it was written in a time after Job for what was meant to be the same purpose, but it was radically different. Rather than learn what Job was, we got instead warnings of our impending doom. Mind you, at the same time the writer said the earth had just been born.&lt;br&gt;
I know. It's blasphemy. Excuse me if I don't cringe. You see. I DO believe in G-d. A REAL one, not writers who can't keep their stories straight twice in a row.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Gen 6: 1-4&lt;br&gt;
1. And it came to pass, when men, (NOT HUMANS,) began to multiply on the face of the earth, and 

DAUGHTERS were born unto them,&lt;br&gt;
2. that the SONS OF G-D, saw the DAUGHTERS of men, *that they were fair; and they took them 

wives, whomsoever they CHOSE&lt;br&gt;.
*Note: THEY took no note whether the females were fair, only that they would nurture their offspring and allow them to grow and procreate with this new, added factor, and they did not 

KEEP them as wives. Also note the females were CHOSEN, so it was only some, not all.&lt;br&gt;
End note.&lt;br&gt;

3. And the Lord said: 'My *spirit, shall NOT abide with man forever, for that he ALSO is flesh; 

therefore shall his days be a hundred and twenty years.'&lt;br&gt;

*Note: meaning that the body containing this spirit could not withstand the part that was ALSO 

flesh and would wear out. It NEVER said the SPIRIT would die, only the shell that carried it. But that was also an error in logic. Now let us remember that we produce new flesh every day. Billions of cells scale off and become something else. Billions of other tiny things make up our bodies. Imagine what you could do if your brains had not been slammed shut on even the possibilities. Genetically, what we could do is limitless, but we have been told by men never to try. Regeneration is possible. We have seen it and called it a fluke. It isn't.&lt;br&gt;What was taught us then would have served us well by now if the great philosophers and interpreters hadn't TOLD us what to think, how to think, and why we MUST think they are right. I happen not to.&lt;br&gt;
End note.&lt;br&gt;

4. The *Nephilim were in the earth in those days, AND ALSO AFTER THAT, when the Sons of G-d 

came in unto the DAUGHTERS of men , and they bore children to them; the same were the mighty 

men that were of old, the men of renown.&lt;br&gt;
Summary:&lt;br&gt;
*Note: The Nephilim were an entirely different species. Dinosaurs. This means that dinosaurs were 

indeed there at the dawn of humanity, and NOT that they were mighty men of old. Remember that 

this was written down for many generations after the Exodus and that humanity is far older than 

science has ever given us credit for. Partly because of Scriptures they still don't understand, and 

partly because *experts* once concluded that humans and dinosaurs never coexisted on earth at 

any time. That has since been proven wrong, to their chagrin. Unfortunately, dogma has, in many 

cases, replaced the truth with suppositions and outright lies to suit the contention that humans are 

as they have always been, and that is not true. What they don't, won't tell you is WHY.&lt;br&gt;
Yet even the most ancient human knew that their intelligence was dependent on women, though 

DNA was an unknown quantity then. Instinctively, they knew, and so bloodlines have always been 

followed through who the mother was and her line, not through men and their line. Early humans 

knew that to continue becoming more intelligent, they MUST mate with like kind, but it was the 

wanderers in the desert who were made aware of the need for a diverse gene pool. Which brings us 

to Job, the beginning.&lt;br&gt;

Job is an EXAMPLE of what happened when humanity had finally taken the different path from the 

families of the *men* they had been bred from. Following Job from the beginning of *his* travails to the end, you see that he had lost all resemblance to those around him and was utterly, completely, and totally different...so different that his tribe abandoned him to his own devices, literally expecting him to die. This is about Job, but Job is a metaphor for all of those who found themselves having passed through a fairly rapid evolution as time goes.&lt;br&gt; Henceforth JOB=HUMANITY.&lt;br&gt;
You MUST eliminate the flowery prose surrounding Job's story in this book. It didn't exist. It was 

added long, long after the fact and so badly interpreted that I could not understand how *scholars* 

could have possibly overlooked its obvious truths .
Here are the relevent facts.&lt;br&gt;
From Job; Chapter 1 to 5, in the Hebrew Bible, there is reference to the SONS of G-d having a 

meeting. There is also reference to Satan, the Adversary, (a SON of G-d,) who was not an adversary 

as we would think of it. He was the teacher who walked back and forth in the classroom stopping here and there to tap a ruler on your desk to set you straight. He was assigned the authority to remain here to teach and ultimately test the offspring of the SONS of G-d, to guage how well suited they were to continue on their own in spite of their differences with all other living things. He was chosen to teach humans the differences between themselves and test them as to their intelligence, their will, their ingenuity, and ultimately to discern if they were ready to be taught HOW to learn the Laws of the Universe.&lt;br&gt;
(Job 1: verse 6-Now it fell upon a day, that the Sons of G-d came to present themselves before the 

Lord, and *Satan came also among them.*That is, THE ADVERSARY.&lt;br&gt;
7. And the Lord said unto Satan: 'Whence comest thou?' Then Satan answered the Lord, and said: 

'From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.'&lt;br&gt;
8. And the Lord said unto Satan: 'Hast thou considered My servant, Job.....')&lt;br&gt;

Stop there and realize that this was the Biblical translation of separating humanity, (JOB,) from its 

relative safety from within already established tribal arrangements (apes,) the beginning of the 

human age.&lt;br&gt;
The Scriptures go on to define absolutely just how much humanity had changed with regard to the *men* from which they came, and encompassed the entire evolutionary cycle from the day the Sons of G-d impregnated the women of men unto the day humans were able to adapt the world to their wants and needs as opposed to those who needed to adapt to the world as it was using only instinct, not human intelligence.&lt;br&gt;
It reveals a lengthy transition which was not understood at the time it was happening. 

There was immense confusion in the ranks of the *different* ones that lasted many generations. 

They thought they were accursed. They were driven from their safe havens. They became subject to 

diseases and bodily changes completely different than anything *man* had ever known. They lost 

most of their body hair and felt cold for the first time, needing to create for themselves warmth and 

clothing and an entirely new way of thinking, which led to human speech, and astounding new 

technologies for their age. There DID come a time, at long last, that they realized their superiority, 

but as I have explained many times, the G-d within, if not used, atrophies, and what is left is a consciousness without conscience. The soul, the gift, has withered and become useless.&lt;br&gt;
*Job, Chapter 1, verse 12: "And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and KNEW HIM NOT, they 

lifted up their voice and wept....."&lt;br&gt;
*Note: When animals grieve, and they do, they wail and howl.&lt;br&gt;
Verse 13: So they sat down on the ground with him seven days and seven nights; and none spoke a 

word unto him, for they saw that his grief was very great.&lt;br&gt;
Chapter 3: After this opened Job his mouth and cursed his day. *And Job spoke and said&lt;br&gt;:
Let the day perish when I was born,&lt;br&gt;
And the night wherein it was said: 'A man-child is brought forth.'&lt;br&gt;
Let that day be darkness.&lt;br&gt;
V, 23 To a man whose way is hid,&lt;br&gt;
And whom G-d has hedged in?&lt;br&gt;
24. For my sighing cometh instead of my food,&lt;br&gt;
And my roarings are poured out like water.&lt;br&gt;
25. For the thing which I did fear is come upon me,&lt;br&gt;
And that which I was afraid of hath overtaken me.&lt;br&gt;
26. I was not at ease, neither was I quiet, neither had I rest;&lt;br&gt;
But trouble came.&lt;br&gt;

* Note: THIS is the beginning of the Great Confusion, the lack of understanding. THIS was ALL of 

humanity's confusion. They had not yet learned why they were so different and no longer fit with 

those once their equals. They had become more, but they did not yet understand.&lt;br&gt;
Job 6.&lt;br&gt;
V-11: What is my strength that I should wait?&lt;br&gt;
And what is mine end, that I should be patient?&lt;br&gt;
12. Is my strength the strength of stones?&lt;br&gt;
Or is my flesh of brass?&lt;br&gt;
13. Is it that I have no help in me,&lt;br&gt;
And that sound wisdom is driven quite from me?&lt;br&gt;

V-15: My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook;&lt;br&gt;
As the channel of brooks that overflow&lt;br&gt;
16. Which are black by the reason of the ice,&lt;br&gt;
And wherein the snow hideth itself;&lt;br&gt;
17. What time they wax warm, they vanish,&lt;br&gt;
When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.&lt;br&gt;
18. The paths of their way do wind,&lt;br&gt;
They go up into the WASTE, and are lost.&lt;br&gt;
19. The caravans of Tema (those who dwelt in the area, unamed then,) looked.&lt;br&gt;
The companies of Sheba, (also unamed then,) waited for them---&lt;br&gt;
20. They were ashamed because they had hoped....(to find him as they were, what had always been before,)&lt;br&gt;
They came thither and were confounded. (And did not understand that he could not change.)&lt;br&gt;
He ALSO did not understand, but he knew they did not like it. So he entreated them, his *people,* to tell him what HE had done wrong.&lt;br&gt;
21. For now ye are become His;&lt;br&gt;
Ye see a terror and are afraid&lt;br&gt;
22. Did I say: 'Give unto me'?&lt;br&gt;
Or: 'Offer a present for me of your substance'?&lt;br&gt;
23. Or; 'Redeem me from the adversary's hand'?&lt;br&gt;
Or: 'Redeem me from the hands of the oppressors'?&lt;br&gt;
24. TEACH ME and I will hold my peace;&lt;br&gt;
And cause me to UNDERSTAND wherein I have erred.&lt;br&gt;
To his teacher:&lt;br&gt;
Chapter 4, V-12: Am I sea, or a sea monster,&lt;br&gt;
That Thou settest a watch over me?&lt;br&gt;
13. When I say: 'My bed shall comfort me,&lt;br&gt;
My couch shall ease my complaint';&lt;br&gt;
14. * Then thou scarest me with dreams,&lt;br&gt;
And terrifiest me through visions;&lt;br&gt;
(*Note: Dawning of diverse thought.)&lt;br&gt;
15. So that my SOUL chooseth strangling,&lt;br&gt;
And death rather than THESE, MY bones.&lt;br&gt;
16. I loathe it; I shall not live always;&lt;br&gt;
Let me alone; for my days are vanity.&lt;br&gt;
17. What is man, that Thou shouldest MAGNIFY him,&lt;br&gt;
And that Thou shouldest SET THY HEART UPON HIM,&lt;br&gt;
18. And that Thou shouldest remember him every morning,&lt;br&gt;
And try him every moment?&lt;br&gt;
20. If I have sinned, what do I unto Thee, O Thou WATCHER of men?&lt;br&gt;
21. Why hast Thou set me as aMARK for Thee,&lt;br&gt;
So that I am a burden to myself?&lt;br&gt;
Chapters 8 and 9 are allegory, as are the words uttered in other chapters by the writer's design. It 

is all allegory, really. But it IS man's journey.&lt;br&gt;
*Chapter 9, V-30: If I wash myself with snow water,&lt;br&gt;
And make my hands never so clean;&lt;br&gt;
31. Yet wilt Thou plunge me into the ditch,&lt;br&gt;
*And mine own clothes shall abhor me?(*Note. Loss of protective body hair.)&lt;br&gt;
Chapter 10&lt;br&gt;
*V-11: Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh,And knit me together with bones and 

sinews.&lt;br&gt;
Progress.&lt;br&gt;
Chapter 12V-2: No doubt that ye are the people,&lt;br&gt;
And wisdom shall die with you.&lt;br&gt;
(Their wisdom. He did not think as they thought anymore.)&lt;br&gt;
3. But I have UNDERSTANDING as well as you;&lt;br&gt;
I am NOT inferior to you.....&lt;br&gt;
20. He removeth the SPEECH of "men" of trust,&lt;br&gt;
(he couldn't understand them anymore, and they could not understand him.)&lt;br&gt;
And taketh away the SENSE of the elders.&lt;br&gt;
22. He uncovereth deep things out of the darkness,&lt;br&gt;
And bringeth out to LIGHT the shadow of death.&lt;br&gt;
23.He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them;&lt;br&gt;
He enlargeth the nations, and leadeth them away.&lt;br&gt;
24. He taketh away the HEART of the CHIEFS of the PEOPLE of the land,&lt;br&gt;
And causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.&lt;br&gt;
25. They grope in the DARK without LIGHT&lt;br&gt;
And he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.&lt;br&gt;
Now THEY were becoming *different* to HIM. He didn't see them as superior anymore.)
More progress.&lt;br&gt;
Chapter 13-1: Lo, mine eyes have seen all this,&lt;br&gt;
Mine ear hath heard and UNDERSTOOD it.&lt;br&gt;
2. What ye know, do I know also;&lt;br&gt;
I am NOT inferior to you.&lt;br&gt;
3. NOTWITHSTANDING I would speak to the Almighty,&lt;br&gt;
And I DESIRE TO REASON WITH G-D.&lt;br&gt;
*The difference is now too profound and a relationship with the old, impossible.&lt;br&gt;
CHAPTER 19, V-13:&lt;br&gt;
He hath put my brethren far from me,&lt;br&gt;
And my aquaintances are wholly estranged from me.&lt;br&gt;
14. My kinsfolk have failed,&lt;br&gt;
And my familiar friends have forgotten me.&lt;br&gt;
15. They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger;&lt;br&gt;
I am become an ALIEN in their sight.&lt;br&gt;
16. I call to my servant, and he giveth me no answer,&lt;br&gt;
though I entreat him WITH MY MOUTH. (speech)&lt;br&gt;
17. My breath is abhorred of my wife,&lt;br&gt;
And I am loathsome to the children of my tribe.&lt;br&gt;
18. Even urchins despise me;&lt;br&gt;
If I arise they speak against me.&lt;br&gt;
19. All my intimate friends abhor me;&lt;br&gt;
And those whom I loved are turned against me.&lt;br&gt;
20. My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh,&lt;br&gt;
And I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.&lt;br&gt;
21. Have pity on me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends;&lt;br&gt;
For THE HAND OF G-D HATH TOUCHED ME.&lt;br&gt;
WHY DO YE PERSECUTE ME AS G-D,&lt;br&gt;
AND ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH MY FLESH?&lt;br&gt;
I would retranslate this last altogether. it ought to say:&lt;br&gt;
BECAUSE THE HAND OF G-D HATH TOUCHED ME, YE PERSECUTE ME AS THOUGH YOU WERE G-D AND ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH MY FLESH.&lt;br&gt;
Chapter 20 is yet another ramble from a writer or teller who has added only his own understanding 

of what this old Law entails. Primitive and unaware of why the tale of JOB is so desperately 

important.&lt;br&gt;
*Knows what he was. Knows what he is. Knows it will never be the same.&lt;br&gt;
Chapter 21:&lt;br&gt;
5. Turn unto me and be astonished,&lt;br&gt;
And lay your hand upon your mouth.&lt;br&gt;
6. Even when I REMEMBER I am affrighted, (that I USED to be like YOU.)&lt;br&gt;
And horror taketh hold on my flesh.&lt;br&gt;
*7. Wherefore do the wicked live,&lt;br&gt;
Become old, yea, wax mighty in power?&lt;br&gt;
*Note: The *wicked* are those devoid of understanding and/or wisdom and knowledge. (The *wicked* persecuted him though he loved them. The persecuted him though he begged for their mercy. And yet, though they were powerful, they had no power over him anymore.) Conciousness without conscience.&lt;br&gt;
**14. Yet, they said unto **G-d: 'Depart from us;&lt;br&gt;
For we desire not the KNOWLEDGE of Thy ways.'&lt;br&gt;
**In this, they meant Job, more human than beast, more G-dlike than animals.&lt;br&gt;
They could not understand him, this *new* creature, so they drove him out and shunned him.&lt;br&gt;
The rest is somewhat more of the same, but each section is an upward transition toward becoming 

human.&lt;br&gt;
By Chapter 38, they made it.&lt;br&gt;
In Chapter 38... There, the First Law of Humanity is handed down, in no uncertain terms. It is by this 

time that JOB/HUMANITY has realized their positions, know that their former brethren are beyond 

communication in appearance, in thought, speech, fundamental understanding of mind in any form, 

consciousness without conscience, (which you can see as real and reality in today's world.) It tells 

me that all people who walk upright are not human. To be human REQUIRES conscience.&lt;br&gt;

CHAPTER 38 (Not formatted into verses.)&lt;br&gt;
THEN the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said: Who is this that darkeneth councel by 

words without KNOWLEDGE? Gird up thy loins like a man for I will demand of thee, and DECLARE 

thou unto Me.Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?&lt;br&gt;
DECLARE, if thou hast the understanding.&lt;br&gt;
Who determined the measures thereof, if thou knowest?&lt;br&gt;
Or who stretched the line upon it?&lt;br&gt;
Whereupon were the foundations thereof fastened?&lt;br&gt;
Or who laid the cornerstone thereof, when the morning stars sang&lt;br&gt;
together, and all the SONS OF G-D shouted for joy?&lt;br&gt;
Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth and issued out of the womb; when I made the 

clouds the garment thereof; and thick darkness a swaddling band for it, and prescribed for it My 

decree, and set bars and doors, and said: 'Thus far shalt thee come, but no further; and here shall 

thy proud waves be stayed'?&lt;br&gt;
Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days began, and caused the dayspring to know its 

place, that it might take hold of the ends of the earth, and the wicked be shaken out of it?&lt;br&gt;
It is changed as clay under the seal; and they stand as a garment. But from the wicked, their light is 

withholden, and the high arm is broken.&lt;br&gt;
Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? Or hast thou walked in the recesses of the deep? 

Have the gates of death been revealed unto thee? Or hast thou see the gates of the shadow of 

death? Hast thou surveyed unto the breadths of the earth?&lt;br&gt;
DECLARE, IF THOU KNOWEST ALL.&lt;br&gt;
Where is the way to the dwelling of the light, and as for darkness,
where is the place thereof; that thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou 

shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?&lt;br&gt;
THOU KNOWEST IT, FOR THOU WAST THEN BORN, AND THE NUMBER OF THY DAYS IS GREAT!&lt;br&gt;
(I believe in genetic memory. So that passage hit me like lightning.)&lt;br&gt;
Hast thou entered into the treasuries of the snow, or hast thou seenthe treasuries of the hail; which 

I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?&lt;br&gt;
By what way is the light parted,or the east wind scattered upon the earth?&lt;br&gt;
Who hath cleft a channel for the waterflood, or a way for the lightning of the thunder; to cause it to 

rain on a land where no man is, on the wilderness, wherein there is no man; to satisfy the desolate 

and waste ground, and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?&lt;br&gt;Hath the rain a 

father?&lt;br&gt;
Or who hath begotten the drops of dew?&lt;br&gt;
Out of whose womb came the ice?&lt;br&gt;
And the hoar-frost of heaven who hath engendered it?&lt;br&gt;
The waters are congealed like stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.&lt;br&gt;
**None of THIS belongs here---&gt;&lt;br&gt;
---&gt;Canst thou bind the chains of the Pleiades, or loose the 

bands of Orion?**(Bear in mind this was written centuries after the original admonition and 

contains names that would not have existed in its original form.) Canst thou lead forth the 

Mazzaroth, (a reference to the Zodiac,) in their season? Or canst thou guide the Bear with her 

sons?&lt;---&lt;br&gt;

KNOWEST THOU THE ORDINANCES OF THE HEAVENS?&lt;br&gt;
(You must know what surrounds you and do no harm. Do not interfere in the universe. Until you know universal truths, you will try to do damage which won't be permitted.)&lt;br&gt;)
CANST THOU ESTABLISH DOMINION THEREOF IN THE EARTH?&lt;br&gt;
(Can you control what I have given you without harming it?
CANST THOU LIFT UP THY VOICE TO THE CLOUDS THAT ABUNDANCE OF WATERS MAY COVER 

THEE?&lt;br&gt; (Do you know why the rain falls? )&lt;br&gt;
CANST THOU SEND FORTH LIGHTNINGS AND THEY MAY GO, AND SAY UNTO THEE, 'HERE WE 

ARE'?&lt;br&gt;
(Can YOU make fire without MY help?)&lt;br&gt;

Skipping over a few verses that have no context....&lt;br&gt;
Then:&lt;br&gt;
The wing of the ostrich beateth joyously; but are her pinions and feathers the kindly stork's?&lt;br&gt;
For she leaveth her eggs on the earth, and warmeth them in the dust, and forgetteth that the foot 

may crush them, or that the wild beast may trample them.
She is hardened against her young ones as if they were not hers; though her labor be in vain, she is 

without fear; BECAUSE G-D HATH DEPRIVED HER OF WISDOM, NEITHER HATH HE IMPARTED TO HER 

UNDERSTANDING. WHEN THE TIME COMETH, SHE RAISES HER WINGS ON HIGH, AND SCORNETH THE 

HORSE AND RIDER.&lt;br&gt;
(Again, conciousness without conscience or wisdom.)
JOB 40&lt;br&gt;
Moreover the Lord answered Job, and said:'Shall he that reproveth contend with the Almighty? He 

that argueth with G-d, LET HIM ANSWER IT.'&lt;br&gt;
(Today, that would be,  "Sorry, Charlie. You ain't that good YET."&lt;br&gt;
Throughout the prose in this book are mention of coals cooling upon the earth. The void and 

darkness caused by the dense cloud cover over all the earth as the oceans evaporated. There is 

mention of mountains becoming molten pits in whose channels fire burst forth IN CONJUNCTION 

WITH mention of leviathan WHICH HAS ITS EXPLANATION AT THE END HERE. There is mention of 

behemoths.&lt;br&gt;

Random, somewhat enlightening, quotes from JOB:&lt;br&gt;
(Human beginnings:)&lt;br&gt;
"Why died I not from the womb? Why did I not perish at birth? Why did the knees receive me? And 

wherefor the breasts, that I should suck?For now, should I have lain still and been quiet. (beginnings 

of speech. it made them different and made their *people* afraid.)I should have slept, then had I 

been at rest___with kings and counsellors of the earth, who built up waste palaces for 

themselves....&lt;br&gt;
'In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men, fear came upon me, and 

trembling, and all my bones were made to shake.&lt;br&gt;
Then a spirit passed before my face, that made the hair of my flesh to stand up. It stood still, but I 

could not discern the appearance thereof; a form was before my eyes; I heard a still voice:&lt;br&gt;
'Shall mortal man be just before G-d?&lt;br&gt;
Shall a man be pure before his maker? Behold, He putteth no trust in his servants, and his angels he 

chargeth with folly; how much more them that dwell in houses of clay; whose foundation is in the 

dust, who are crushed before the moth! Betwixt morning and evening they are shattered; they 

perish forever without regarding it. Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them?&lt;br&gt;
They die, AND THAT WITHOUT WISDOM.'&lt;br&gt;
(In otherwards, his FORMER people were mortal *man* and without wisdom. The *angels*=Job=humans, persecuted for becoming more than they. Job's mortality is put in question here. Could Humans learn enough to know they are immortal?)&lt;br&gt;
Do you even know what immortal means?&lt;br&gt;
'They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope at noonday as in the night.'&lt;br&gt;
THEY are animals. I walk upright and control my surroundings.&lt;br&gt;
'Mine inward thoughts are my intercessors...'&lt;br&gt;
I can reason. It's time to go.&lt;br&gt;
VOLCANOES: (via Leviathan which has several meanings depending on which context used.)&lt;br&gt;
Who can uncover the face of his garment?&lt;br&gt;
Who shall come within his double bridle?&lt;br&gt;
Who can open the doors of his face?&lt;br&gt;
Round about his teeth is terror.&lt;br&gt;
His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal. One is so near to another, that no air 

can come between them. They are joined to one another; they stick together and cannot be 

sundered. His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like eyelids of morning. Out of his mouth 

go burning torches, and sparks of fire leap forth. Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a 

seething pot and burning rushes. His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.In his 

neck abideth strength, and dismay danceth before him. The flakes of his flesh are joined together; 

they are firm upon him; they cannot be removed. His heart is firm as a stone; yea, firm as nether 

millstone.&lt;br&gt;
When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid; by reason of dispair they are beside 

themselves.&lt;br&gt;
If one lay at him with a sword, it will not hold; nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.&lt;br&gt;
He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood. The arrow cannot make him flee; slingstones 

are turned with him into stubble. Clubs are accounted as stubble; he laugheth at the rattling of the 

javelin.&lt;br&gt;
Sharpest potshards are under hi; he spreadeth a threshing sledge upon the mire. He maketh the 

deep to boil like a pot; he maketh the sea like a seething mixture. He maketh a PATH TO SHINE 

AFTER HIM; (Lavaflow,) one would think the deep to be hoary.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Yad L'Achim, a Jerusalem-based anti-cult organization, announces that the dangerous Scientology cult is actively pursuing new members among religious and hareidi women.&lt;br&gt;



Yad L'Achim, a Jerusalem-based anti-cult organization, announced this week that the dangerous Scientology cult is actively pursuing new members among religious and hareidi women. At Diskin St. 17, one of the tall buildings whose "shorter sides" face the hareidi neighborhood of Shaarei Hessed, dozens of women can be seen entering the offices of the Shachar Institute, where courses are offered in reflexology, holistic healing - and Scientology. Shachar is directed by a religious-looking woman who denies any connection to Scientology - despite the fact that the main Scientology office in Tel Aviv told Yad L'Achim that she is their Jerusalem representative.&lt;br&gt;


Yad L'Achim says that the cult has an interesting way of attracting the religious women. A college named Tif'eret advertises that it is looking to hire a secretary, and candidates who arrive for an interview are told at the end that if they want to be hired, they must take a course in "dianetics" - a method that is claimed to get rid of "the hidden part of your mind that stores all painful experiences and then uses them against you." Dianetics is a central method of Scientology, which has been described as the "world's most dangerous cult."&lt;br&gt;


Justice Anderson of the Supreme Court of Victoria, Australia, wrote,
"Scientology is evil; its techniques are evil; its practice is a serious threat to the community, medically, morally, and socially; and its adherents are sadly deluded and often mentally ill... [It is] the world's largest organization of unqualified persons engaged in the practice of dangerous techniques which masquerade as mental therapy."&lt;br&gt;


One-time British Health Minister Kenneth Robinson said,
"The government is satisfied that Scientology is socially harmful. It alienates members of families from each other and attributes squalid and disgraceful motives to all who oppose it; its authoritarian principles and practice are a potential menace to the personality and well being of those so deluded as to become followers; above all, its methods can be a serious danger to the health of those who submit to them..."&lt;br&gt;


Yad L'Achim plans to publicize the dangers of Scientology and the Jerusalem courses in the hareidi newspapers in the coming two weeks.&lt;br&gt;


Yad L'Achim Chairman Rabbi Shalom Dov Lifschitz said, "We have here a cynical attempt to entrap innocent hareidi women who are not aware of the many dangers inherent in this destructive cult. These women want only to learn new psychological methods... This is a clever method of entrapment that should be thrown out of the Holy City."&lt;br&gt;


&lt;center&gt;NOOOOO Scientology!!!&lt;br&gt;
SEZ NITZANA&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#00FFFF"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Where is the money for the disengagement going to come from?" So asked Bank of Israel Governor Dr. David Klein, during yesterday's marathon Cabinet budget session. The budget presented by Finance Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was overwhelmingly approved - but only after he made some major changes. It does not include money for Prime Minister Sharon's planned Gaza disengagement/withdrawal, however, nor for the crisis-ridden municipal councils.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; 
&lt;palign="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#00CCFF"&gt;&lt;b&gt;For anyone who had a doubt, this is my day to say, "I told you so."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Friends and Fellow Americans,&lt;br&gt;
This is an important flash history of Israel from pre-Independence until now. Anyone who cares about America, and/or Israel, at all; anyone who cares about truth, justice, and FREEDOM, needs to view this and understand that the same people who threaten all the world have used Israel as a practice field for over 50 years.&lt;br&gt;
The same was done pre-WWII wherein Hebrews were the most prominent, but by no means the only, attempt at genocide and eugenics perpetrated, with the deliberate collaboration of the Islamonazis, and if recent history is an indicator, with the willing help of the French.&lt;br&gt;
We all know now that these subhuman barbarians ALWAYS do practice runs before a full scale attack. We are seeing them do it here and now. We saw it pre-9/11. If we are to save ourselves, we must allow Israel to save herself, and follow suit wherever these bastards raise their loathesome heads.&lt;br&gt;
Any of you who believe that if there were no *Jews* or no Israel, there would be no barbarians at the gates, are practicing willful self-deception at your own peril.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;Scouting jetliners for new attacks&lt;br&gt;

By Audrey Hudson&lt;br&gt;
THE WASHINGTON TIMES&lt;br&gt;


Flight crews and air marshals say Middle Eastern men are staking out airports, probing security measures and conducting test runs aboard airplanes for a terrorist attack.&lt;br&gt; 
    At least two midflight incidents have involved numerous men of Middle Eastern descent behaving in what one pilot called "stereotypical" behavior of an organized attempt to attack a plane.&lt;br&gt; 

"No doubt these are dry runs for a terrorist attack," an air marshal said.&lt;br&gt; 
    Pilots and air marshals who asked to remain anonymous told The Washington Times that surveillance by terrorists is rampant, using different probing methods.&lt;br&gt; 
    "It's happening, and it's a sad state of affairs," a pilot said. 
    A June 29 incident aboard Northwest Airlines Flight 327 from Detroit to Los Angeles is similar to a Feb. 15 incident on American Airlines Flight 1732 from San Juan, Puerto Rico, to New York's John F. Kennedy Airport.&lt;br&gt; 
    The Northwest flight involved 14 Syrian men and the American Airlines flight involved six men of Middle Eastern descent.&lt;br&gt; 
    "I've never been in a situation where I have felt that afraid," said Annie Jacobsen, a business and finance feature writer for the online magazine Women's Wall Street who was aboard the Northwest flight.&lt;br&gt; 
    The men were seated throughout the plane pretending to be strangers. Once airborne, they began congregating in groups of two or three, stood nearly the entire flight, and consecutively filed in and out of bathrooms at different intervals, raising concern among passengers and flight attendants, Mrs. Jacobsen said.&lt;br&gt; 
    One man took a McDonald's bag into the bathroom, then passed it off to another passenger upon returning to his seat. When the pilot announced the plane was cleared for landing and to fasten seat belts, seven men jumped up in unison and went to different bathrooms.&lt;br&gt; 
    Her account was confirmed by David Adams, spokesman for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Federal Air Marshal Service (FAMS), who said officers were on board and checked the bathrooms several times during the flight, but nothing was found.&lt;br&gt; 
    "The FAMS never broke their cover, but monitored" the activity, Mr. Adams said. "Given the facts, they had no legal basis to take an enforcement action. But there was enough of a suspicious nature for the FAMS, passengers and crew to take notice."&lt;br&gt; 
    A January FBI memo says suicide terrorists are plotting to hijack trans-Atlantic planes by smuggling "ready-to-build" bomb kits past airport security, and later assembling the explosives in aircraft bathrooms.&lt;br&gt; 
    On many overseas flights, airlines have issued rules prohibiting loitering near the lavatory.&lt;br&gt; 
    "After seeing 14 Middle Eastern men board separately (six together and eight individually) and then act as a group, watching their unusual glances, observing their bizarre bathroom activities, watching them congregate in small groups, knowing that the flight attendants and the pilots were seriously concerned and now knowing that federal air marshals were on board, I was officially terrified," Mrs. Jacobsen said.&lt;br&gt; 
    "One by one, they went into the two lavatories, each spending about four minutes inside. Right in front of us, two men stood up against the emergency exit door, waiting for the lavatory to become available. The men spoke in Arabic among themselves ... one of the men took his camera into the lavatory. Another took his cell phone. Again, no one approached the men. Not one of the flight attendants asked them to sit down."&lt;br&gt; 
    In an interview yesterday with The Washington Times, Mrs. Jacobsen said she was surprised to learn afterward that flight attendants are not trained to handle terrorist attacks or the situation that happened on her flight.&lt;br&gt; 
    "I absolutely empathize with the flight attendants. They are acting with no clear protocol," she said.&lt;br&gt; 
    Other passengers were distraught and one woman was even crying as the events unfolded.&lt;br&gt; 
    The plane was met by officials from the FBI, Los Angeles Police Department, Federal Air Marshal Service and Transportation Security Administration. The Syrians, who were traveling on one-way tickets, were taken into custody.&lt;br&gt; 
    The men, who were not on terrorist watch lists, were released, although their information and fingerprints were added to a database. The group had been hired as musicians to play at a casino, and the booking, hotel accommodations and return flight to New York from Long Beach, Calif., also checked out, Mr. Adams said.&lt;br&gt; 
    "We don't know if it was a dry run, that's why we are working together with intelligence and investigative agencies to help protect the homeland," he said.&lt;br&gt; 
    Mrs. Jacobsen, however, is skeptical the 14 passengers were innocent musicians.&lt;br&gt; 
    "If 19 terrorists can learn to fly airplanes into buildings, couldn't 14 terrorists learn to play instruments?" she asked in the article.&lt;br&gt; 
    The pilot confirmed Mrs. Jacobsen's experience was "terribly alike" what flight attendants reported on the San Juan flight.&lt;br&gt; 
    He said there is "widespread knowledge" among crew members these probes are taking place.&lt;br&gt; 
    A Middle Eastern passenger attempted to videotape out the window as the plane taxied on takeoff and, when told by a flight attendant it was not permitted, "gave her a mean look and stopped taping," said a written report of the San Juan incident by a flight attendant.&lt;br&gt; 
    The group of six men sat near one another, pretended to be strangers, but after careful observation from flight attendants, it was apparent "all six knew each other," the report said.&lt;br&gt; 
    "They were very careful when we were in their area to seem separate and pretended to be sleeping, but when we were out of the twilight area, they were watching and communicating," the report said.&lt;br&gt; 
    The men made several trips to the bathroom and congregated in that area, and were told at least twice by a flight attendant to return to their seats. The suspicious behavior was relayed to airline officials in midflight and additional background checks were conducted.&lt;br&gt; 
    A second pilot said that, on one of his recent flights, an air marshal forced his way into the lavatory at the front of his plane after a man of Middle Eastern descent locked himself in for a long period.&lt;br&gt; 
    The marshal found the mirror had been removed and the man was attempting to break through the wall. The cockpit was on the other side.&lt;br&gt; 
    The second pilot said terrorists are "absolutely" testing security. 
    "There is a great degree of concern in the airline industry that not only are these dry runs for a terrorist attack, but that there is absolutely no defense capabilities on a vast majority of airlines," the second pilot said.&lt;br&gt; 
    Dawn Deeks, spokeswoman for the Association of Flight Attendants, said there is no "central clearinghouse" for them to learn of suspicious incidents, and flight crews are not told how issues are resolved.&lt;br&gt; 
    She said a flight attendant reported that a passenger was using a telephoto lens to take sequential photos of the cockpit door.&lt;br&gt; 
    The passenger was stopped, and the incident, which happened two months ago, was reported to officials. But when the attendant checked back last week on the outcome, she was told her report had been lost. 
    Recent incidents at the Minneapolis-St. Paul international airport have also alarmed flight crews. Earlier this month, a passenger from Syria was taken into custody while carrying anti-American materials and a note suggesting he intended to commit a public suicide.&lt;br&gt; 
    A third pilot reported watching a man of Middle Eastern descent at the same airport using binoculars to get airplane tail numbers and writing the numbers in a notebook to correspond with flight numbers.&lt;br&gt; 
    "It's a probe. They are probing us," said a second air marshal, who confirmed that Middle Eastern men try to flush out marshals by rushing the cockpit and stopping suddenly.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;font color="#33ccff"&gt;
Many people have asked why traditional Judaism uses matrilineal descent to determine Jewish status, when in all other things (tribal affiliation, priestly status, royalty, etc.) patrilineal descent is used.&lt;br&gt; 
The Torah does not specifically state anywhere that matrilineal descent should be used; however, there are several passages in the Torah where it is understood that the child of a Jewish woman and a non-Jewish man is a Jew, and several other passages where it is understood that the child of a non-Jewish woman and a Jewish man is not a Jew.&lt;br&gt; 
In Deuteronomy 7:1-5, in expressing the prohibition against intermarriage, G-d says "he [ie, the non-Jewish male spouse] will cause your child to turn away from Me and they will worship the gods of others." No such concern is expressed about the child of a non-Jewish female spouse. From this, we infer that the child of a non-Jewish male spouse is Jewish (and can therefore be turned away from Judaism), but the child of a non-Jewish female spouse is not Jewish (and therefore turning away is not an issue).&lt;br&gt; 
Leviticus 24:10 speaks of the son of an Israelite woman and an Egyptian man as being "among the community of Israel" (i.e., a Jew).&lt;br&gt; 
On the other hand, in Ezra 10:2-3, the Jews returning to Israel vowed to put aside their non-Jewish wives and the children born to those wives. They could not have put aside those children if those children were Jews.&lt;br&gt;
Several people have asked how King David could be a Jew given that one of his female ancestors, Ruth, was not a Jew. This conclusion is based on two faulty premises: first of all, Ruth was a Jew, and even if she wasn't, that would not affect David's status as a Jew. Ruth converted to Judaism before marrying Boaz and bearing Obed. See Ruth 1:16, where Ruth states her intention to convert. After Ruth converted, she was a Jew, and all of her children born after the conversion were Jewish as well. But even if Ruth were not Jewish at the time Obed was born, that would not affect King David's status as a Jew, because Ruth is an ancestor of David's father, not of David's mother, and David's Jewish status is determined by his mother.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://img25.photobucket.com/albums/v76/NixTwo/Am%20Yisrael%20Chai/BlueMezuza.jpg"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#00ccff"&gt;According to everything I know in my soul, this is the ONLY way to be &lt;b&gt;BORN&lt;/b&gt; Hebrew. No matter how badly any sect clamors for this recognition, it can only come from HaShem, not from any authority on this earth. Reformers can't change it. They chose to kick back and accept laziness in their studies; chose to accept secular humanism and still defied The Law by claiming to be Jews. Well, Jews they might be, but Hebrews they ain't.&lt;br&gt;
I believe that because all men walk upright on two legs that does not make them human, and history, which is still forming has proven me correct. Man,(many men,) are regressing. They will NEVER be fully human just as the many Jews who would like to claim the Heritage they do not deserve. I am not evil or unforgiving in saying this. The truth is the truth, and as I have said repeatedly, no MAN can change it, though countless many have tried...and failed.&lt;br&gt;

Up until several years ago, there were still sources that did not use the word Palestine for anything except to denote a geographical area for archaeological purposes. &lt;br&gt;
For anyone who doesn't know, Palestine is NOT the name of a people or even a place. It does not naturally occur anywhere in history no matter how often the new historians try to assert that the palestinians are remotely connected somehow, to the Philistines of the ancient Old Testament.&lt;br&gt; 
The Philistines were a tall, fair skinned,  sea people not even closely related to Arabs, and certainly not semitic. Sailors. whereas Arabs were notoriously backward as far as transportation was ever concerned. traveling mostly by camel in caravans never venturing outside of their natural boundaries until the advent of air travel. 
They have been historically lost in time, never fully realizing the 20th century, let alone the 21st. &lt;br&gt;
A British archaeological team doing a paleolithic study of the land mass known as the Near East which encompasses nearly all of the Mediterranean areas, including the Arab Peninsula, shortened the name of their study to 'Palestine' so they wouldn't have to write 'PALEolithic STudy In The Near East' on every page of their report. It was then called *PALESTINE* For purposes of the report.&lt;br&gt; 
Now, unless you have access to older copies of the Britannica or outdated Archeaological textbooks, you can't even find the explanation for the word *palestine* which is not an actual word at all. It is shorthand. A compilation of words that *sounds* Biblical. It isn't and never was.&lt;br&gt; 
It was laid to rest in the mainstream world, but came into common usage as scribes tried to redefine Greek and Hebrew words in the Bible. Land that had long since undergone both physical and dynamic changes about which very little history was then known, was willy-nilly given the worthless shorthand name, *Palestine*.&lt;br&gt; 
The British and the Roman Church are both very much responsible for the promotion of this false history of *palestine* with some huge help from Hitler with whom the Arab nations threw their lot in the all out genocidal war against the Jews, indeed it was the Grand Mufti of Egypt who advised Hitler on The Final Solution. No secret, this, or that Y. Arafat is his kin.&lt;br&gt; 
So afraid were the Arabs that the Jews, who had been returning to their lands for centuries from all over the world, would someday overwhelm them and take back their country, that they only solution they ever sought was the wholesale slaughter of Jews wherever they might be found. Christendom has done likewise in its past and to great extent still abides it in the present. But both forsee the absolute death of Judaism as their final aim, regardless of the many protestations of the innocents of Christendom, whom we insist on calling *Righteous Gentiles,* those who see us as the faith from which their faith derived.&lt;br&gt;
To be fair, it is an opposing viewpoint from the mainstream for which we are, and shall remain, most grateful. It does not apply to the majority of Christians, but G-d is infinitely choosy.&lt;br&gt; 
There is one slight difference in how the final outcome is perceived by these two entities, and neither bode well for righteous Jews.&lt;br&gt; 
Islam sees us as carrion. They believe our flesh should be fed to animals or worse, and I have even known of rituals wherein our flesh or our organs are eaten not only to proclaim their ultimate victory over us, but also to gain what supernatural knowledge they believe we possess.&lt;br&gt; 
(It is quite evident it didn't work. They are still stupid.)&lt;br&gt; 
Christianity sees us as heathen. Unsaved, therefore impure. After WWII they stopped trying to murder us physically, but it hasn't stopped them from trying to murder us spiritually. Their biggest scare tactic is almost laughable if they were not so deadly serious about it. If they understood us at all, even the most rudimentary knowledge of orthodox Judaism would let them know that their big stick is worthless and is far more funny than scarey.&lt;br&gt; 
Christians created hell. What's more, they created it for themselves to scare themselves into doing the right thing according to what some Pope decided was the right thing.&lt;br&gt; 
The Church has never done the right thing since it was founded on the rubble of the Roman Empire. It HAS succeeded in hellenizing most of the Western World, even as it has sought in its depths to justify and hide pedophilia which hearkens back to the ancient Roman dictates, not Judaic Law.&lt;br&gt; 
It has always been Judaic/Mosaic Law that both the Church and Islam have systematically tried to destroy.&lt;br&gt; 
&lt;b&gt;Mosaic Law is absolute and absolutely moral&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
There are major differences in Mosaic Law and the law commonly put forth as The Ten Commandments by Christianity, and the subtle changes have so distorted common law, that what is irredeemable in the Lord's eyes, is legal, or at least acceptable, according to the laws of men.&lt;br&gt; 
Islamic Law is the Siamese Twin to Christianity although they seem, on the surface, as different as day and night, it is only illusion. The REAL difference between them is the primal *appearance* of Islam. If you go behind the curtain of the unwashed appearance of mainstream Islamics, you find robed and *crowned* clerics.&lt;br&gt; 
If you go behind the Polo shirts and white shirts and ties of mainstream Christianity, you find robed and *crowned* clerics.&lt;br&gt; 
Both hierarchies teach hatred of Jews, but in subtley different ways.&lt;br&gt; 
The only thing separating the two is that Christianity has traversed into modern times while Islam has remained in the Dark Ages.&lt;br&gt; 
So few Jews against so many who sought power through religious dominance which was mainly Christian, though not mainly Catholic, that racism and religious bigotry was rife throughout the modern world. Catholic Dogma had become so ensconced in even the most far fringes of Christianity, that the same attitudes prevailed.&lt;br&gt; 
It was *right* to consider anyone different as unworthy.&lt;br&gt; 
It was *right* to force Christianity on unwilling souls. If the unwilling couldn't be *taught* to see it their way, they were brutalized and eventually absorbed into mainstream Christianity. Many of their rituals and ceremonies were literally stolen and reformed to become part of the bizarre facade of Christianity.&lt;br&gt; 
After the holocaust of manifest Destiny, the genocide that seemed interminable here in the West, had finally come to a standstill with the abject defeat and subsequent subjugation of the Great Nations of North America, the American Revolution, paid for almost wholly by Jews seeking escape from Christian domination, saw the United States of America become the HOPE for Freedom for people all over the world. In regards to THIS, a post soon to follow, "The Impact of Christian Missionaries on the Northeastern American Indians," should shock you senseless.&lt;br&gt;
I don't like the word *Indian* and they were not Americans either. But that will be explained.&lt;br&gt; 
Suffice it to say Christianity was begun by evil people for the most vile of reasons. And nothing has changed to this day.&lt;br&gt; 
Both Christianity and Islam have come onto our land, the land that was granted by Covenant to OUR Forefathers, and claimed our land as THEIR Holy land. Both of them are liars. Both of them have built grotesque monuments to mythical gods and brought blasphemy to our Holy Places.&lt;br&gt; 
We understand your covetousness. It must be a terrible thing to have nothing and nowhere of your own that you should be so jealous as to covet the ONE place on earth G-d was ever actually seen and heard by an entire people. That people wasn't either of you. It was ME and my family and my family before me. I can claim that. YOU can't ever, no matter how many external monuments to yourselves you build.&lt;br&gt; 
We sought not glory for ourselves, but when Solomen flaunted his kingdom and became a hedonist, G-d tossed him out on his duff. Anyone who thinks the Song of Solomen in any way connects Jesus with Israel or a bridegroom to a church, surely has not taken the time to read the thing. It is the tale of Solomen's fall from grace and the lesson we should all have learned. We SHOULD have learned that you can't play politics with people who hate you. You can't do deals with demons. And NO piece of land that G-d has given can be given away OR stolen. Even by those who think we think they are benevolent.&lt;br&gt; 
Solomen gave in to his basest instincts. He became a drunk and a womanizer taking whom he chose from amongst protitutes and servants and ignoring them when he was through. he looked the other way at abortion and abandoned his own children if he did not consider their mothers *worthy* of his attention.&lt;br&gt; 
Solomen allowed his wives to build temples to false gods and worship them on Holy Ground.&lt;br&gt; 
He carried on in drunken brawls and gang rapes.&lt;br&gt; 
Everything that the Lord admonished the People NOT to do, Solomen did.&lt;br&gt; 
Jerusalem became, more or less, a whorehouse for a man who could care less.&lt;br&gt; 
He defiled himself and defiled Israel, allowing us to become weak against our enemies who ignored their treaties with us, and Israel was defeated from within, the same way the hedonist left among us are trying to defeat us now.&lt;br&gt; 
The lessons of history should not be so perplexing if someone would only take the time to read it and understand.&lt;br&gt; 
For want of righteousness, we were scattered and our Temple was destroyed. For trusting our neighbors more than we trusted G-d, we were slaughtered like sheep. 
In every generation since Rome took power, we have been slaughtered like sheep. 
Unfortunately, you are trying to murder G-d itself, and you can't, won't ever. We brought the Law and gave it to the world. We know you don't like it, but it's too bad. It was a done deal before you fantasized your mythical savior and tried to foist a false god upon us. YOU might accept this convulsion of the most illogical garbage I have ever heard, but when has logic ever stopped the Church...or Islam? Both were founded by madmen and both for the same reasons.&lt;br&gt; 
The Church is Tyranny. Islam is Tyranny. Both are pathological. Both tell the most outrageous lies the world has ever heard to their believers and fools believe. so we are natural enemies because we see the truths you are so afraid of, and we always will be because you are both anti-G-D.&lt;br&gt; 

&lt;b&gt;SYMBOLS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;

The symbols of each religion are both blasphemous and ungodly but are only surpassed by the fallacies used to rationalize their uses. Islam worships a moongod symbolized by a crescent moon. Very odd considering that the crescent moon was the ancient symbol of the Druids, a culture that was swallowed whole by the Church of Rome...and a star which symbolized the birth of the Christian Messiah.&lt;br&gt; 
An obvious mixture when you step back a bit and realize that the ancient practice of Islam was Pagan in nature, but extremely peacful...until the mad prophet, Muhammed. Where might you suppose his ideas of what a religion SHOULD be came from? Where do you suppose the innate cruelty of his religion had its birth pangs? 
Does the name Saul of Tarsus ring a bell?&lt;br&gt; 
Islam treats its believers with no respect, allows them to learn no truths, and murders them at will for whatever reason they might conjure up, makes up their laws as they go along.&lt;br&gt; 
The symbol of Christianity is one of hideous torture of a human being. You are told to drink his blood and eat his flesh. Even if it is purely symbolic, it is horrific. It TELLS you to do symbolicly what Islam actually does. Islam hasn't yet become sophisticated enough to practice symbolism, but it hasn't been so long that the church didn't practice bizarre tortures, most of which were for the same reasons Islam does them today. The sexual repression insisted upon by a church whose heirarchy was filled with womenhaters gave rise to every manner of male adrenaline producing response. Most of the torture in the Church was specifically aimed at young, pretty women, usually stripped naked for  better effect, and it was more often a priest or Bishop who both ordered and directed the torture sessions. Cardinals were invited as some of the prettier women were considered special treats.&lt;br&gt; 
And then there was the jealousy between the hierarchy within the Church itself. 
There was Bishop Lucifer. A beloved Bishop in the mountains of Northern Germany, his parishioners adored him. he was kind and good and showed them a kind of respect that one shows to peers. Lucifer was not authoritarian enough, according to the Pope...going on reports from other bishops who were not so well loved. 
He was ordered to be more stringent in his duties and be more forceful with his punishments. He declined.&lt;br&gt; 
He found himself on trial in Rome and with other Bishops' testimonies against him, he was arrested, excommunicated, and finally tortured to death for being a heretic. His parishioners had become known as Luciferians, to a man of them, good Catholics, but to punish them for their loyalty to an excommunicant, Luciferians were deemed Satanists and it was for them the  Malleus Malifecarum  (Witch's Hammer,) came into being. When the church finished its grisly inquisition of the Luciferians a full 80% of them had been tortured to death for witchcraft.&lt;br&gt; 
To this day, Luciferians and Satanists are interchangeable words, though the Luciferians were never satanists.&lt;br&gt; 

&lt;b&gt;"THE BULL OF INNOCENT VIII"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
"It has indeed lately come to Our ears, not without afflicting Us with bitter sorrow, that in some parts of Northern Germany, as well as in the provinces, townships, territories, districts, and dioceses of Mainz, Cologne, Tréves, Salzburg, and Bremen, many persons of both sexes, unmindful of their own salvation and straying from the Catholic Faith, have abandoned themselves to devils, incubi and succubi, and by their incantations, spells, conjurations, and other accursed charms and crafts, enormities and horrid offences, have slain infants yet in the mother's womb, as also the offspring of cattle, have blasted the produce of the earth, the grapes of the vine, the fruits of the trees, nay, men and women, beasts of burthen, herd-beasts, as well as animals of other kinds, vineyards, orchards, meadows, pasture-land, corn, wheat, and all other cereals; these wretches furthermore afflict and torment men and women, beasts of burthen, herd-beasts, as well as animals of other kinds, with terrible and piteous pains and sore diseases, both internal and external; they hinder men from performing the sexual act and women from conceiving, whence husbands cannot know their wives nor wives receive their husbands; over and above this, they blasphemously renounce that Faith which is theirs by the Sacrament of Baptism, and at the instigation of the Enemy of Mankind they do not shrink from committing and perpetrating the foulest abominations and filthiest excesses to the deadly peril of their own souls, whereby they outrage the Divine Majesty and are a cause of scandal and danger to very many. And although Our dear sons Henry Kramer and James Sprenger, Professors of Theology, of the Order of Friars Preachers, have been by Letters Apostolic delegated as Inquisitors of these heretical pravities, and still are Inquisitors, the first in the aforesaid parts of Northern Germany, wherein are included those aforesaid townships, districts, dioceses, and other specified localities, and the second in certain territories which lie along the borders of the Rhine, nevertheless not a few clerics and lay folk of those countries, seeking too curiously to know more than concerns them, since in the aforesaid delegatory letters there is no express and specific mention by name of these provinces, townships, dioceses, and districts, and further since the two delegates themselves and the abominations they are to encounter are not designated in detailed and particular fashion, these persons are not ashamed to contend with the most unblushing effrontery that these enormities are not practised in these provinces, and consequently the aforesaid Inquisitors have no legal right to exercise their powers of inquisition in ovinces, townships, dioceses, districts, and territories, which have been rehearsed, and that the Inquisitors may not proceed to punish, imprison, and penalize criminals convicted of the heinous offences and many wickednesses which have been set forth.&lt;br&gt; Accordingly in the aforesaid provinces, townships, dioceses, and districts, the abominations and enormities in question remain unpunished not without open danger to the souls of many and peril of eternal damnation. Wherefore We, as is Our duty, being wholly desirous of removing all hindrances and obstacles by which the good work of the Inquisitors may be let and tarded, as also of applying potent remedies to prevent the disease of heresy and other turpitudes diffusing their poison to the destruction of many innocent souls, since Our zeal for the Faith especially  incites us, lest that the provinces, townships, dioceses, districts, and territories of Germany, which We had specified, be deprived of the benefits of the Holy Office thereto assigned, by the tenor of these presents in virtue of Our Apostolic authority We decree and enjoin that the aforesaid Inquisitors be empowered to proceed to the just correction,imprisonment, and punishment of any persons, without let or hindrance, in every way as if the
provinces, townships, dioceses, districts, territories, yea, even the persons and their crimes in this kind were named and particularly designated in Our letters.&lt;br&gt; Moreover, for greater surety We extend these letters deputing this authority to cover all the aforesaid provinces, townships, dioceses, districts, territories, persons, and crimes newly rehearsed, and We grant permission to the aforesaid Inquisitors, to one separately or to both, as also to Our dear son John Gremper, priest of the diocese of Constance, Master of Arts, their notary, or to any other public notary, who shall be by them, or by one of them, temporarily delegated to those provinces, townships, dioceses, districts, and aforesaid territories, to proceed, according to the regulations of the Inquisition, against any persons of whatsoever rank and high estate, correcting, mulcting,imprisoning, punishing, as their crimes merit, those whom they have found guilty, the penalty being adapted to the offence."&lt;br&gt; 
(Gremper was the co-author of" Witch's Hammer.")&lt;br&gt; 
They are lately speaking in hushed tones in some circles, of using this old stand by against those practicing Wicca in some of the less civilized areas of the world, in the here and now. But they will not remove pedophiles in MORE civilized areas of the world. Now why is that?&lt;br&gt; 
The Church of Rome is a Great Deceiver, as are most of its representatives and they are leading you to death. Final, everlasting death. The first year in a Catholic Seminary is bent on destroying everything one ever believed in. The rest of the time is devoted to reprogramming braindead students to their paradigm, and teaching them to reprogram others. Most of the class work is psychologically related and never, never question. What's more, never let anyone else question either. Should anyone question, there are prompt accusations of faithlessness.&lt;br&gt; 
It took them almost a century to perfect their version of what a devil should look like. They adapted the Greek Pan, the musical imp with his hooves, and the Druid, Cernunnos, (The Horned god of fertility,) and the god Triton of the Sea with his trident turned pitchfork; all sexual symbols, IE., music, passion, and power. After years of renderings, they had finally designed an evil from human emotions which you are told are sins. They designed a hell in which recognizing your OWN inner beauty is the worst sin one can possibly commit.&lt;br&gt; 
Don't you ever wonder why you are not allowed to see beyond the walls? Has it ever occurred to you that the evil within this *Church* is so ugly, that if you ever see the beauty of truth that is without, they will lose you? So they must keep you ugly and small and unknowing. They must convince you that everything outside the church is tainted and ugly. The demon they designed for you is waiting if you try to leave so that it keeps you trapped and blind.&lt;br&gt; 
You MUST drink the blood. You MUST eat the flesh. You MUST bow before torture. And you MUST believe that you are not a child of G-d who was born into this world without sin and perfect. (It only took them TWO centuries to come up with that one.) And you MUST believe that some demigogue is holy enough to wash your sins away. So they make you pray to a spirit in order to commune with the Lord. A woman, no less, in the spirit of the Roman goddesses. and you don't even recognize the Pantheon when you support it every day.&lt;br&gt; 
Mother of G-D? Think about it.&lt;br&gt;

The unofficial website of Gush Katif, katif.net, received the following letter from soldiers of the Givati Brigade:&lt;p&gt;

Dear Gush Katif residents,&lt;br&gt; 
A week ago we lost six fighters from our unit.&lt;br&gt;  
During these difficult hours, we were able to feel how those whom we are protecting show their gratefulness to us - by coming to our base to give out sweets, letters, candies, happy drawings from the children, and saying words of encouragement.&lt;br&gt; 
No matter what, we will continue to fulfill the obligation that we are fulfilling now, with happiness, for as long as it takes.&lt;br&gt;  
We are confident that our brothers were not killed in vain. This is a war that we will win, and the victory will be even greater if we, all of Israel, unite and give strength one to another.&lt;br&gt; 
So we just wanted to tell you and pass on the message through you - to all those who took the time and trouble and resources to volunteer for us - thanks very much from the bottom of our hearts! 
Yours always,&lt;br&gt;  
The Dolev Battalion Family, Telzec Unit of the Givati Brigade&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;
AM YISRAEL CHAI!&lt;br&gt;

&lt;font color="#33ffcc"&gt;Yesssss. He's OURS!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.us-israel.org/jsource/Judaism/whojew1.html"&gt;&lt;font color="#33CCFF"&gt;Judaism&lt;/a&gt; is considered to be both a religion and a nation/culture. More than 13 million people are now identified as Jews, with roughly six million living in the United States and five million in Israel.** Jews come in all shapes, sizes and nationalities. For example, there are black Jews from Ethiopia, Chinese Jews from Shanghai and Indian Jews from India. Practices and beliefs among Jews range from those who call themselves Jews but have nothing more to do with the religion or culture to rigidly Orthodox who strictly observe ancient Jewish precepts.&lt;br&gt;Today, Judaism is comprised of four major movements, Orthodox, Conservative, Reform and Reconstructionist. Reform is by far the largest today, but it has relatively few adherents in Israel where most Jews are either Orthodox (a minority) or do not affiliate with a particular movement. Most Israelis are often described as "secular," but most still observe Jewish holidays (many of which are national holidays in Israel) and are very knowledgeable about their history and culture (which is taught in public school). The Conservative movement is also very strong in the United States, but has yet to make significant inroads in Israel. Reconstructionism is the smallest, and newest movement and has virtually no presence in Israel. The Orthodox movement has grown in recent years in the United States and remains the strongest movement in Israel. The Orthodox, more so than the other movements, are also divided among different sects, such as Satmar and Chabad.&lt;br&gt;
The Jewish movements have different interpretations of the Torah, which lead to different rituals, spiritual practices and beliefs. The diversity of beliefs and practices has led to different definitions of "Who is a Jew." This question is not just philosophical, it has political and legal ramifications. In Israel, questions of Jewishness have implications for immigration, conversion, marriage, divorce and the allocation of government money.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Origins of the Words "Jew" and "Judaism"&lt;/b&gt;
The original name for the people we now call Jews was Hebrews. The word "Hebrew" (in Hebrew, "Ivri") is first used in the Torah to describe Abraham (Gen. 14:13). The word is apparently derived from the name Eber, one of Abraham's ancestors. Another tradition teaches that the word comes from the word "eyver," which means "the other side," referring to the fact that Abraham came from the other side of the Euphrates, or referring to the fact Abraham was separated from the other nations morally and spiritually.&lt;br&gt; 
Another name used for the people is Children of Israel or Israelites, which refers to the fact that the people are descendants of Jacob, who was also called Israel.&lt;br&gt; 
The word "Jew" (in Hebrew, "Yehudi") is derived from the name Judah, which was the name of one of Jacob's twelve sons. Judah was the ancestor of one of the tribes of Israel, which was named after him. Likewise, the word Judaism literally means "Judah-ism," that is, the religion of the Yehudim.&lt;br&gt; 
Originally, the term Yehudi referred specifically to members of the tribe of Judah, as distinguished from the other tribes of Israel. However, after the death of King Solomon, the nation of Israel was split into two kingdoms: the kingdom of Judah and the kingdom of Israel (I Kings 12; II Chronicles 10). After that time, the word Yehudi could properly be used to describe anyone from the kingdom of Judah, which included the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi, as well as scattered settlements from other tribes. The most obvious biblical example of this usage is in Esther 2:5, where Mordecai is referred to as both a Yehudi and a member of the tribe of Benjamin.&lt;br&gt; 
In the 6th century B.C.E., the kingdom of Israel was conquered by Assyria and the ten tribes were exiled from the land (II Kings 17), leaving only the tribes in the kingdom of Judah remaining to carry on Abraham's heritage. These people of the kingdom of Judah were generally known to themselves and to other nations as Yehudim (Jews), and that name continues to be used today.&lt;br&gt; 
In common speech, the word "Jew" is used to refer to all of the physical and spiritual descendants of Jacob/Israel, as well as to the patriarchs Abraham and Isaac and their wives, and the word "Judaism" is used to refer to their beliefs. &lt;b&gt;Technically, this usage is inaccurate, just as it is technically inaccurate to use the word "Indian" to refer to the original inhabitants of the Americas.&lt;/b&gt; However, this technically inaccurate usage is common both within the Jewish community and outside of it, and is therefore used throughout this site.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#33ffcc"&gt;I have heard people get extremely upset at being called *Yehudi*. Why then, is JEW any different? 
In fact, it is worse and its use by our own selves is a sad recognition that we would sell our birthright, diminishing ourselves as no other force on earth can possibly do.
The history of this word connotes nothing but heartbreak and horror for us. This historic weight that breaks our back and bends our will is anathema to who we really are. Isn't it time we regain the pride we gave away so willingly to fit into a wondrous world we have built far beyond what our small numbers would suggest?
We have, throughout our entire history, done more to lead people to humanity than any other culture under heaven, yet those who have done nothing but steal from us are revered as being somehow superior.
Not in this life, or any other, has there been a more capable, more educated, more productive, more intellectually oriented, more beneficient, and yes, conservative in values even when those jews, small j, claim our coattails as if they somehow deserve them after they have betrayed us.
As a People, we learned more common sense in the days of the Old Testament than most people have even learned yet. 
Development of amazing technologies and medical breakthroughs are introduced via Hebrews almost every day of the week, but the world which we serve offers no thanks, no respect, and little, if any, recognition of our talents except to hate us more. And yet it doesn't stop us. G-d put us here for exactly this. The taught now teach.
If the world at large will not call us by our rightful and proper name, then we should NOT answer. Period.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;font color="#339999"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Sing a Song of Vengeance
R' Binyamin Zev Kahane hy"d 
The falsifiers of Judaism, in their effort to prove that Judaism loathes the concept of vengeance, and that we should feel sad when our enemy falls, are fond of bringing the  Talmudic quote concerning the drowning of the Egyptians in the Red Sea: “the work of My hands are drowning in the sea, and you want to sing?” It is not only the secular haters of Judaism who quote this verse, but unfortunately, they are joined by so many tortured Moderdox types who cannot bear to accept the stark truth of authentic Jewish values. 

As usual, these distorters and perverters of authentic Jewish concepts, selectively and very partially quote the Talmud. The selection they bring down really begins  with R. Yehoshua ben Levy starting his lecture on Megilat Esther with the verse “As the Lord rejoiced over you (“sas”) to do you good, so the Lord will rejoice over you (“yasis”) to cause you to perish.” (Dvarim 28) And the Talmud asks: Does the Almighty then rejoice over the fall of the wicked? To prove that he does not rejoice, the story of  the angels asking to praise God for the drowning of the Egyptians is brought. And this is where the ignoramuses and falsifiers stop. But there is more. The Talmud continues and answers as follows: “Rabbi Elazar said: It is true that He does not rejoice, but he causes others to rejoice.   (Megila 10b and Sanhedrin 39b)

Ah, what a difference. And a clear answer to the obvious question: If God does not want us to rejoice and praise Him when our enemy falls, why in the world does it say in our parsha: “Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord"…? (Shmot 14). 

Of course the Almighty, the totality of Compassion, the Father of all, grieves for His children -- all of them. He does not sing. His angels, who are not of this world, do not sing. But the Jews do. Not only are they allowed to, they are commanded to… It is true, that Hashem grieves. He grieves that those who were made in his image have so perverted and destroyed the greatness of that image. That those who were made in the image of good, were so evil. And so, He grieves for the perversion of His purpose in making the world, for His works have who have so gone astray. And in His grief He does not have pity: He destroys them: he knows that evil and He cannot share the same world, as our rabbis say: “As long as the wicked rule in the world, the Holy One Blessed Be He, so to speak, cannot sit on His throne.” (Talkut Tehilim, Ch 47)

And so, because the arrogance of the enemy of the Jewish people, their brazen persecution of the people of God with no fear of God, is the very essence of Hillul Hashem, the Almighty in wrath destroys them and the Children of Israel must sing and glorify god. And thus do the rabbis declare (Shmot Rabba 23) “Then did Moses and the Children of Israel sing: this is what is meant by the verse (Psalms 9): ‘The Lord is known by the judgement He executes’ This speaks of Egypt whom God smote at the Red Sea.” And Shmot Rabba 23 continues: “Then did Moses and Children of Israel sing. This is the meaning of the verse (Psalms 93) ‘Your throne was firm from then.’ Even though you exist from time immemorial your throne was not made firm and You were not made known in the world until your children sang. When You stood at the sea and we sang before You, with that “az” (then) were Your Kingdom and Throne made firm.

This is the essence of Judaism. A world made for good and that cannot abide evil. A world that, when the works of God – as Pharaoh declaring: “Who is the Lord”, the Almighty destroys them, no matter how sad He feels and the Jew is ordered to sing the song of the Red Sea each and every day of the year in his morning service!  It is an incredible perversion of Judaism by the confused and guilt-ridden Jews, ignoramuses and learned alike, to claim vengeance against our enemy is not something to rejoice in.  

We can really go on and on bringing Jewish sources, but space is limited, and we hope the lesson is clear. We conclude with the following from Midrash Avkir: “And Israel saw the hand of God”. When the Almighty wished to drown the Egyptians, the Archangel of Egypt (Uza) said: Sovereign of the Universe! You are called just and righteous… why do you wish to drown the Egyptians? At that moment Gabriel rose and took a brick and said: Sovereign of the Universe! These who enslaved your children such a terrible slavery as this, shall you have mercy on them? Immediately, the Almighty drowned them”.

Islamic Jihad destroyed an Israeli APC in Gaza with a missile just days ago. 
Following their successful attack, the Islamic terrorists held a news conference where they discussed their winning operation. As they talked about how they destroyed an Israel APC, the head of an Israeli soldier was sitting in front of them, displayed for all to see. It was a disgusting and barbaric gesture, but it worked.
As if they were in Hollywood, they had selected the most effective prop, a tool which spoke more than their words. The grotesque image of a head of an Israeli soldier did not penetrate our tanks or F-16's, rather it tore through our mental defenses and exploded inside our collective psyche.

To win this war we must play by the same rules as our enemy.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;IMG src="http://www.israelnn.com/data/images//2003/10/07/ronarad.jpg"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="news-description"&gt;&lt;font color="#00FFCC"&gt;Two Arabic-language papers report that a grave containing the remains of Ron Arad has been found.  Israel denies.  The families of 12 missing Iranian Jews demand that their loved ones not be forgotten.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;font color="#00FFCC"&gt;
Two Arabic-language newspapers have now reported that a grave containing the remains of Israel Air Force navigator Ron Arad has been found.  Arad was captured when his plane was felled over Lebanon in 1986, and has not been heard from since.
On Wednesday, A-Sharq al-Aussat of London reported that the grave had been found in Lebanon, and that a DNA check had proven that Arad was buried there.  Hizbullah, according to the report, was said to be awaiting Israel's final confirmation of the findings.
Yesterday, a Lebanese newspaper provided a more detailed report.  Al-Mustaqbal reported that Hizbullah had transferred to Israel the remains suspected to be those of Ron Arad.  The transfer took place via Ernst Erlau, the German mediator involved in Israeli-Lebanese prisoner exchange matters. 
Israel has denied that any new information has come to light regarding Ron Arad.
The second stage of a recent prisoner exchange is set to take place once Hizbullah provides "new, reliable and concrete information" on the fate of the missing navigator.  In this second stage, Hizbullah seeks the release of Samir Kuntar, a Lebanese citizen who perpetrated the terrorist attack in Nahariya in 1979 in which Danny Haran, his two children, and a policeman were killed.  Hizbullah claims that it has been seeking Arad's grave for the past few months.  This can be explained in that Hizbullah leader Nasrallah has put his prestige on the line in guaranteeing the release of Kuntar - and is thus interested in providing "new and concrete" information on Ron Arad.
The first stage of the deal was implemented in January, when Hizbullah released Elchanan Tenenbaum and the bodies of three Israeli soldiers, in exchange for more than 400 Arab prisoners held in Israel.
The families of 12 missing Iranian Jews have petitioned the Supreme Court to force the inclusion of their cause in the current stage of the prisoner exchange.  The families say that information on their loved ones must be provided to Israel before Samir Kuntar is released.  The 12 attempted to make their way to Israel from Iran in 1994 and 1997, via Pakistan, but never made it to Pakistan and have not been heard from since.
Though the families have asked the Israeli Government many times to take action on their loved ones' behalf, they were told that the efforts needed to be carried out quietly and behind-the-scenes.  The families feel that this was just a cover-up for doing nothing at all.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;font color="#33FF99"&gt;The mystery continues.

UPDATE: From AP, &lt;a href="http://www.aztrib.com/index.php?sty=21440"&gt;East Valley Tribune&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;b&gt;The video is of poor quality, and its time stamp seems to show an 11-hour lapse between when the assailants finish their statement and push Berg down, to when they behead him. That suggests a delay between those two portions of tape posted on the Web site.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
The decapitation recalled the kidnapping and videotaped beheading of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, who like Berg was Jewish. Four Islamic militants have been convicted of kidnapping Pearl in 2002 in Pakistan, but seven suspects - including those who allegedly slit his throat - remain at large.

AFP&lt;br&gt;  
PARIS, FRANCE, 03-SEP-2003: Israeli air force pilot Ron Arad who was shot down over Lebanon in October 1986. Israeli airman Ron Arad, who went missing over southern Lebanon in 1986, is still alive, a commission of inquiry has concluded, Israeli state television said September 2, 2003. 
JERUSALEM, Sept 3 (AFP) - Israel is redirecting its search toward Iran for an airman who was shot down over southern Lebanon and has become a folk hero in the Jewish state, television reports said Wednesday.
Israeli investigators have asked the United States to question -- or allow them to question -- Iraqi former prisoners of war in the Islamic republic on whether any of them saw Ron Arad, whose jet was downed on October 16, 1986.&lt;br&gt;
HAARETZ May12, 2004&lt;br&gt;
Rumors that Arad had been held and eventually killed in Nabi Sheit have been circulating in Lebanon since the late 1980s. &lt;b&gt;Israel, however, believes that Arad was sold to Iran's Revolutionary Guards by his Lebanese captors while still alive, and Israeli intelligence and defense officials said that another purpose of the recent spate of media reports is to try to remove Iran from the picture. Iran is Hezbollah's patron, but Israel believes that it will not give Hezbollah any information on Arad unless it can plausibly deny any involvement in the affair.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Warning. Graphic Video&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#339999"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;If I was to fail my own conscience and not point out that I believe the person on the newest execution video is not who they claim it is, and it be found out later, it would be a travesty. If I'm wrong, I can apologize.
Remember the Italian civilian the bastards executed? They refused to show it because the guy was defiant to the end. That is what this guy was like and everything I can find out about him points to it. It might have been his body found decapitated, but if it was him, he would have fought them like crazy. He would not simply have allowed them to do this. The guy in this video was like a rag doll. 
If it really was Nick Berg and they really did find his body, are sure it was him, then where is it, why haven't his parents been flown to identify him, why is this the first we are hearing of it, when we have heard of every one else either captured or killed, and why hasn't he been shipped home in a casket? 
The father sounds too rehearsed and not nearly as griefstricken as a parent would who has just found out his son was mutilated by savages. Just as that idiot, Reickhoff, who sounded just like Kerry 30 years ago, all of this past month's *revelations* put together smells too much like a friggin' setup. 
Hillary Clinton was just over to Iraq lately on a *fact-finding* mission. Wherever she goes, hell goes riding with her. 
Something stinks here.
He was tring to find an alternate saferoute out of Iraq the last his parents heard from him. If he was unemployed, he would not have been with an American Convoy. I don't know if the body they found has been positively identified, but I can darn sure see just by the shape of the head that the Nick in the home photo and the *Nick* in the execution video are not the same person. 
If the body on the overpass hasn't been positively identified, and I've heard no verification that it was, then Nick could be either going through Jordan or heading for Israel for all we know. If he shows up alive, his dad can feign being as overjoyed as he is griefstricken.
*(UPDATE: I hear now that the body they found has arrived at Dover AFB, however the father was refused entry to the base. What is wrong with this picture?)
First of all, they guy they were supposed to have executed on film was much smaller in stature. That is fairly obvious. I know what Muslims do to so-called *collaborators* which would be ANY Iraqi who cooperated with the Americans at all. It is possible that this guy was a Shaheed, but he looked drugged to the gills.
That could be possible, but it seems more likely that the person had been in confinement and deprived for a very long time. The taped execution could have taken place years ago because digital cams today would record the date and time, not just the time. They have no proof for when this happened. The man's lips moved, but he was not speaking the words that were heard. That would also be in keeping with the old video cameras that did not record sounds, only visuals.
Something else I noticed, though the video was obviously much older and had to have undergone several editings before they could make a video clip from it, the person they executed never stood up and never moved his legs through anything that was happening. He was sitting on the floor, his legs bent at the knees. They flipped him over sideways and his legs did not flail nor move, he just fell straight over onto the floor. 
IF it was Ron Arad and he was being held in an Iranian prison, his legs had been operated on so he could not escape. It would also explain the odd clothing and the starkness of the room he was executed in.
This film was not shown on any of the Arab TV stations. I am wondering if the Iranians haven't killed two birds with one stone...or think they have. There has been much open talk of late of an Israeli attack on Iran. Israel has been asking questions and could have gotten answers that literally made any other response impossible for them. 
All the doubledealing that has been going on from every murderous Muslim group along with every terrorist nurturing nation in the entire world, up to, and including, the savage mutilations of Americans in Iraq, has become normal in this abnormal world.  Suddenly thousands of photographs (of which only a portion might be actuals,) find their way into American and English leftwing media which sends the planet into an orgy of pity and elicits extreme decibles of screaming rage at US out of sympathy for lying, sneaking, murdering savages, even as the outrageous act of mutilating American bodies and hanging them from a bridge could not even coax forth a tear because the Americans were just paid mercenaries and probably deserved mutilation; as Pat Tillman's family found out rather remarkably, that their son was utterly stupid for being so patriotic and probably deserved to die because he fell for the G-d and Country routine. Until finally, just this past week, Hezbullah, (Iran's hit squad,) handed over a piece of bone purported to be Ron Arad's. The same day that horrific video was unleashed to the media, via the net, they announced they had found the long-lost grave of Ron Arad...in Lebanon. Yeah, sure.
The bone was pronounced a fake today.
I compared this video to the one where they actually did murder a Russian Soldier. The two videos were remarkably similar in that the Russian soldier's death was real, and this video looked choreographed to match the torturous nature of the Russian Officer's execution, and time-released at the moment of greatest pressure on Rumsfeld to resign.
I think they might well have executed Nick Berg. I just don't believe this VIDEO was the Nick Berg execution. I think he would have fought, and it would not have served their purpose to show a defiant American any more than it served their purpose to show a defiant Italian.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://img25.photobucket.com/albums/v76/NixTwo/Blog%20Pics/capt.jpg"width="220" height="230"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img25.photobucket.com/albums/v76/NixTwo/Blog%20Pics/executed.jpg"width="220" height="230"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Which one is the REAL Nick Berg?&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;I do understand the emotion this execution video has evoked, but I have had all day to calm the emotion attached to this. I was on my way to a business meeting when I heard the news. I cancelled out and cried most of the day. I couldn't help the rage, the anger. My best friend was tortured and murdered by these mutants. I know more about Islamic blood rituals than any one ever wanted to know. I've studied them so much I know what they're thinking and that is scarey. If you think the beheadings of men are something, you ought to see or know what they do to women. My friend was Palestinian Christian from East Jerusalem. What they did to her pales in comparison to anything you will ever see on videotape. The up close and personal targeted murders of pregnant women and tiny children is barely scraping the surface. 
Literally hundreds of thousands of Christians, Jews, Buddhists, and Hindus, and even fellow Muslims who try to move into the 21st century from the 7th century are brutalized beyond belief. 
Yet we hold America's feet to the flame and expect it not to burn. 
There is a pandemic of insanity worldwide and it is exactly what George Bush says it is. It is the struggle to the death of good and evil. The longer we refuse to acknowledge this, the less chance we have of survival. The best way to survive is to learn virtually everything you can about the enemy we face and that includes our friendly neighborhood backstabbers who have far more in common with the UN and their own greed and corruption than any of our past presidents either knew or admitted. 
Beginning with Carter, we became part of them and part of their global socialist movement. We seem never to have wakened from that stupor or the many ways in which our ex-presidents and State Department have plunged us into chaos could not have happened...and our children will/are paying an awful price for our laziness as we waited for someone else to do what needed to be done. No one did. 
So, this is only one facet of ONE issue out of many that has involved my time and energy, and it has been made very clear to me that silence was much more golden where anyone above me was concerned than the truth. I finally quit. 
Powell smiles as he twists the knife and people think he is some kind of saint. His smile has become a grimace because eventually people take on the physical attributes of their personality, ala, Hillary Clinton. No amount of cosmetic surgery can help that woman because her soul is black and dead. And she looks it. 
Everywhere she goes, it is only a matter of a short interval before the horseman rides. One of her secret trips was to South America and suddenly we had Chavez openly declare his allegience to the Communists. The oil spigot was turned off and freedom became that much more expensive. We are a blackmailed nation, and our own representatives do everything they can to cater to our enemies' every whim.
Something is way up, people. I smell war, and it is nauseating to think that there is even the slightest possibility we will let our own traitors defeat us.
I understand Puff Daddy Powell has been crested. So why couldn't someone have crowned him? 
Now, what do I care who uses what against us? We either fight...or die.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;

events of the world are at a point now when G-d has called us to join in unison against 
the evil that is pervading even our air... Sometimes, I'm scared to breathe because I 
fear their disease is contageous.&lt;br&gt; 
But I said it days ago. This *abuse* scandal is most definitely a Clinton hit into far 
left field. And it will backfire into their smirking faces and shrill catcalls because 
it seems to me that the divide betweed good and evil all over the world has taken on a 
physical form that we can no longer dismiss.&lt;br&gt; 
Jim Quinn and Michael Savage call Islam a mental illness. It isn't. It is genetic and 
its basis is in being so inbred that their entire evolution just stopped somewhere in 
the 14th century. Since then, they have been regressing to the most rabid kind of primal 
bestiality that even the evil of Hitler cannot compare to.&lt;br&gt;
I read somewhere that Johnny "Mike" Spann's father was outraged by what our troops have 
supposedly done in that Iraqi prison. Has he forgotten that his own son was attacked by a 
mob of Islamist prisoners, beaten to death, his body full of bites as though animals had 
been tearing at his flesh?&lt;br&gt;  
Blood sends them into an orgiastic frenzy and anyone who has ever seen it or studied it 
has to steel their minds to fully comprehend the pure insanity and evil of them all 
because it isn't abnormal for them. It is RITUAL! I see no innocents any more amongst 
them. None of their words ring true or sincere.&lt;br&gt;  
I am not even sure if they have any idea of what love is but their NEEDS are dark and 
sinister. Many of the ritual mutilation murders heretofore blamed on satanic cults have 
been perpetrated by Muslim sects whose religion demands the blood of infidels. If for any 
reason, Christians or Hebrews cannot at once be captured and the need overwhelms them, 
they are not adverse to the barbaric murder and mutilation of their own people as is quite 
plain below.&lt;br&gt; 
Islam is a genetic mutation that cannot be overcome with a willingness on anybody's part 
to try and understand because it is impossible.They step nowhere on this earth that they 
do not bring with them chaos and catastrophe, evil and mayhem, bloodletting and depravity 
during which time their numbers have grown exponentially along with their extreme regression, 
yet still we are expected to have compassion for the innocent?&lt;br&gt;  
ANIMALS do not treat each other that way in the wildest reaches of nature.So I ask you 
point blank. WHERE are the innocent amongst these soulless creatures?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

'This girl lost her mom in the World Trade Center on 9-11'&lt;br&gt;
By Kristina Goetz&lt;br&gt;
The Cincinnati Enquirer&lt;br&gt;
During his visit to the Golden Lamb Inn in Lebanon, President Bush stops to hug Ashley Faulkner, who lost her mom in the Sept. 11 attacks. Photo by Lynn Faulkner&lt;br&gt;
In a moment largely unnoticed by the throngs of people in Lebanon waiting for autographs from the president of the United States, George W. Bush stopped to hold a teenager's head close to his heart.&lt;br&gt;
 &lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://img25.photobucket.com/albums/v76/NixTwo/Bush/Compassion.jpg" WIDTH="300" HEIGHT="360"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;
Lynn Faulkner, his daughter, Ashley, and their neighbor, Linda Prince, eagerly waited to shake the president's hand Tuesday at the Golden Lamb Inn. He worked the line at a steady campaign pace, smiling, nodding and signing autographs until Prince spoke:&lt;br&gt;
&amp;quot;This girl lost her mom in the World Trade Center on 9-11.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;
Bush stopped and turned back.&lt;br&gt;
&amp;quot;He changed from being the leader of the free world to being a father, a husband anda man,&amp;quot; Faulkner said.&lt;br&gt; &amp;quot;He looked right at her and said, 'How are you doing?' He reached out with his hand and pulled her into his chest.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;
Faulkner snapped one frame with his camera.&lt;br&gt;
&amp;quot;I could hear her say, 'I'm OK,' &amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;That's more emotion than she has shown in 21/2 years. Then he said, 'I can see you have a father who loves you very much.' &amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;
&amp;quot;And I said, 'I do, Mr. President, but I miss her mother every day.' It was a special moment.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;
Special for Lynn Faulkner because the Golden Lamb was the place he and his wife, Wendy Faulkner, celebrated their anniversary every year until she died in the south tower of the World Trade Center, where she had traveled for business.&lt;br&gt;
The day was also special for Ashley, a 15-year-old Mason High School student, because the visit was reminiscent of a trip she took four years ago with her mother and Prince. They spent all afternoon in the rain waiting to see Bush on the campaign trail. Ashley remembers holding her mother's hand, eating Triscuits she packed and bringing along a book in case she got bored.&lt;br&gt;
But this time was different. She understood what the president was saying, and she got close enough to see him face to face.&lt;br&gt;
&amp;quot;The way he was holding me, with my head against his chest, it felt like he was trying to protect me,&amp;quot; Ashley said. &amp;quot;I thought, 'Here is the most powerful guy in the world, and he wants to make sure I'm safe.' I definitely had a couple of tears in my eyes, which is pretty unusual for me.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;
The photo has been circulating across the country, Faulkner said. Relatives have passed it on to friends, bosses and acquaintances. As they tell the story, they also share in Wendy Faulkner's legacy, which her family continues through the Wendy Faulkner Memorial Children's Foundation.&lt;br&gt;
&amp;quot;I'm a pretty cynical and jaded guy at this point in my life,&amp;quot; Faulkner said of the moment with the president. &amp;quot;But this was the real deal. I was really impressed. It was genuine and from the heart.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;

Shake yourself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem; loose yourself from the bands of your neck, O captive daughter of Zion. ... How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who announces peace; who brings good news of good, who announces salvation; who says to Zion, Your God reigns! The voice of your watchmen is heard; together shall they sing; for they shall see eye to eye, when the L-rd returns to Zion. Break forth into joy, sing together, you ruins of Jerusalem; for the L-rd has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem. The L-rd has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God." (Isaiah 52:1,2,7-10)&lt;/I&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Anyone who can read and has a computer knows that Joe Wilson outted his own wife's maiden name in his OWN bio as Ambassador to Iraq AND as a member of MEI, a Mideast Institute financed by the Saudis. It appeared on countless blogs for quite sometime and soon the hubbub quieted down.&lt;br&gt;
Well, Joey's Baaaaack---with a book, and a VERRRY nasty attitude. Same malicious lies, of course. What has changed though, is that every single reference to Valerie Plame that so many bloggers had links to? The ones that proved beyond a doubt that HE ALONE was the one who *supposedly outted* her by stating her maiden name on his resumes, on his biographical information, writing it in prominent places like the playboy conqueror type that he is. I mean he was so puffed up about being married to a CIA *anything,* he bragged about it like a high school twit who got laid by his teacher.&lt;br&gt;
Anyway, someone must have done some major surfing during the quiet months before his wretched book was due out, because all of those earlier references are gone. Disappeared into internet hell and have been replaced by article after article from every left wing rant group on earth who repeat the selfsame lies over and over, some even going as far as to charge President Bush of doing the actual filthy thing for revenge.&lt;br&gt;
But I saw it with my own eyes...:&lt;br&gt;
"...Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV married to the former Valerie Plame. They have two sons and two daughters."&lt;br&gt;
Consequently, trudging through the debris of Plameless pages, I managed to find yet another bowl of cherries to dash against Pal Joey's penchant for making bunches of money for lying about bunches of things, like this, for instance:&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.nationalreview.com/images/page_2002_robbins.gif"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;October 01, 2003, 8:38 a.m. &lt;br&gt;
The Honorable Mr. Wilson&lt;br&gt;
Frog-marching into the history books.&lt;br&gt;
In 1981, Seyni Kountche, president of Niger, said that his country would "sell uranium even to the devil." He made good on his word, doing business with both Libya and Iraq, and funneling billions in profits into private slush funds to prop up his corrupt regime. A 1993 IAEA report on the Iraqi nuclear program listed 580 tons of natural uranium in Iraq, some of it originating from Niger. Ancient history? Well maybe. (I've certainly written about it before.) But it is useful to remind people, in an age of short-attention spans, that Niger and Iraq were part of a nuclear family dating back to the 1970s.&lt;br&gt;
Joseph C. Wilson probably knew about that previous relationship. He was first in Niger with USAID during the Carter administration, then later in the 1990s as a Clinton National Security Council staffer. He arrived back in the Niger's capital of Niamey in February 2002 on a CIA-sponsored mission to investigate a report that Iraq had bought uranium from Niger in 1999. This trip took place a year before President Bush uttered the so-called "16 words" in his State of the Union address ("The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa"). Note that the president accused Iraq of seeking uranium, not actually obtaining it, which is what Wilson was sent to look into. He spent most of his time at the hotel — a fourth-floor suite at the Gawaeye, one report said. He was very open about his mission and its object, and began to take meetings near the pool. "I spent the next eight days drinking sweet mint tea and meeting with dozens of people," Wilson wrote in the New York Times last July, "current government officials, former government officials, people associated with the country's uranium business. It did not take long to conclude that it was highly doubtful that any such transaction had ever taken place." It is unclear with whom Wilson met. No Nigerien officials have admitted to attending those meetings. El Hadj Habibou Allele, who runs COMINAK, the major uranium-mining concern, stated he was never contacted. For their part, the staff at the Gawaeye thought Wilson was a nice guy, &lt;big&gt;and they nicknamed him "Bill Clinton" after his former employer.&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Let's concede that the public face of Wilson's mission may not be the whole story. There may have been a secret side to it — a side he may have been oblivious to — that has not yet been reported. It hardly seems credible that Wilson could have single-handedly investigated every aspect of the Niger-Iraq connection spending "eight days drinking sweet mint tea" and talking to people. If Niamey were nurturing such a relationship with Baghdad it surely would have been highly secretive. Uranium trade with Iraq was illegal after all; you could not expect to get a straight answer from anyone involved in it. Moreover, the wounds of 9/11 were still fresh, and this was only a few months after Coalition forces had swiftly overthrown the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. What country was going to freely admit to selling illegal WMD material to the only ruler in the world who openly praised the attacks on the Twin Towers? As noted, Wilson came away with no evidence that the 1999 uranium sale had taken place. But over the last few months, particularly since Wilson's New York Times piece, this very narrow finding has been taken as proof that Iraq never even tried to obtain uranium. That was not the question Wilson was sent to Niger to answer, and his investigation certainly never came close to being that thorough. Yet the press reflexively cites this brief visit as the basis for the definitive answer on the entire Niger uranium controversy. Wilson's purported influence has been inflated to the point where otherwise sensible people (and some not-so) are alleging that the inner circles of the White House had to resort to felonious leaking to discredit him.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;Joey? We WILL expose you. Someone, somewhere has a snapshot of those bios and resumes. It's surprising what you can come up with if you just have patience. I know we can't let you ride this one out. Not by a longshot.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;font color="#339999"&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;OPEN LETTER TO 1ST LIEUTENANT RIECKHOFF&lt;/center&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Lieutenant,&lt;br&gt;
Please tell us how it feels to be the *new* John Kerry. The same John Kerry who demoralized so many of his Band of Brothers back in Vietnam? The same John Kerry who uplifted a virulent enemy to be even more rabid against American soldiers causing many needless deaths among those he walked away from? The same John Kerry who accused his *Brothers* of horrific atrocities against the *innocent* Viet Cong who hid among women and children, just like the * poor, oppressed,*  barbarous murderers who drag women and children in front of them on the streets of Fallujah. Knowing Americans have a deep and abiding sense of morality, most of our brave military cannot simply take a deep breath and fire on innocents, they save their own cowardly lives and praise the democrats for giving them renewed hope of defeating us.&lt;br&gt;
Please tell us that you don't realize that every time a prominent democrat or a phoney peacenik opens his mouth to declare our victory a defeat, they are well along the way to making it a self-fulfilling prophecy and ten more of your *Brothers* die for their political sake.&lt;br&gt;
Please tell us that you, having achieved the rank of First Lieutenant, are not so stupid and uneducated that you don't realize the reason for shortages of ANYTHING military is directly attributable to the Clinton administration and vaunted democrats whose voice you became when you took to the airwaves and rebuked your Commander in Chief. So nice of you to wait until your service time was up so that those who follow will have it that much harder thanks to you.&lt;br&gt;
Oh yes, you have made quite a splash. Your fellow soldiers who were not availed of a Communist Education at Amherst, who did not spend two years as investment bankers which qualified them to be Platoon leaders, should realize that you are not fit to wipe their shoes on.&lt;br&gt;
John Kerry just might be the foulest politician to come down the pike in modern times, but the republik of Massechusetts has a way of electing vipers out of their midst and foisting them on an unwilling nation...ala Teddy Kennedy, known coward, murderer, womanizer, and drunk. This is HIS life all over again. He betrayed his own brother's righteous war, as did your mentor, John Fonda Kerry, the OTHER cowardly, womanizing sot from Massechusetts, and now they have you. It must be wonderful for John to relive the glory days of The Winter Soldier.&lt;br&gt;
Just as the North Vietnamese remain ever grateful to their willing, stupid, dupes, for permitting them to snuff out the lives of thousands of our fine soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of their own people, so too will the vilest of  these treacherous, bloodletting animals remember you with great fondness after they kill your *Brothers,* and should they get the chance, you, your mother, father,  your children, and your leftist friends with whom you intend to spend more time back at good old Commie U.&lt;br&gt;
I would pray for the Lord to have mercy on your soul, but you have proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that you have sold it for a promise of something more. You won't get it, but Playboy might yet approach you for an interview. Had I been anywhere close enough during that propaganda hit piece on our military and our President to get my hands on you, I would have smacked your smug face until my hands fell off.
All we are waiting for now is a new plot between you and your fellow travelers to assassinate Republican Senators to get Communist thugs back in power. There is no question as to what your vote would be.&lt;br&gt;
The long and the short of it is that most THINKING Americans don't like you or your friends. Most THINKING Americans know that your mentors are traitors to everything decent and good in this country and want to see a bloody loss at the hands of evil..all so they might rule. Most THINKING Americans do not take kindly to your nonchalant sacrifice of our brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters into the hands of bloody Islamists, and we will be counting, as we have been counting with every word coming from the left, how much blood will now be on your own hands.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;B&gt;Today, there can be no prouder People than the Chosen People, the Children of Israel who are celebrating, through all of the terror, through the ongoing and incoming attacks, the day they declared their Independence. It follows immediately Memorial Day for Israel's Fallen Heroes and those who have been brutally murdered by their Arab Neighbors in the most treacherous ways possible.&lt;br&gt;
Oddly enough, their battle for Independence was fought against the same enemy we fought for American Independence. In their arrogance, it would seem that Great Britain has never forgiven either one of us.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;font color="blue"&gt; 
Remembering Israel´s Fallen Throughout Modern History &lt;br&gt;
17:27 Apr 26, '04 / 5 Iyar 5764&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.israelnn.com/news.php3?id=61440"&gt;ARUTZ SHEVA&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR&gt;
 A two-minute Memorial Day siren was heard around the country at 11 AM, bringing the nation to a standstill of silence. The War of Independence was Israel's costliest, with over 6,000 dead and 15,000 wounded. &lt;br&gt; 


Today at 11:00, a two-minute Memorial Day siren was heard around the country, bringing the nation to a standstill of silence. Memorial services for the fallen are being held today in cemeteries around the country.&lt;br&gt;  

The late Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren, who made the decision to institute Israel's Memorial Day immediately before Independence Day, once explained Memorial Day's significance:&lt;br&gt;  
"We view the warriors who fall in battle as those who sprout forth life. The life of a nation grew out of this blood... This day must be more than mourning: We must remember, we must grieve, but it must be a day of mourning, majesty, and vision."&lt;br&gt;  

Defense Minister Sha'ul Mofaz, in a letter to the bereaved families yesterday, also related to the fact that Independence Day immediately follows Memorial Day:&lt;br&gt;  
"Before we raise our flag to the top of the flagstaff, the nation sets aside a day of remembrance and sadness for its heroes, the fallen of the campaigns of Israel, whose bodies and strength of spirit formed for it a protective wall, and whose blood and very lives were a foundation stone for its establishment and existence. We will remember the fallen with the very deepest love and gratefulness. Their pure sacrifice will charge us to preserve that which is precious, to correct our ways, and to make the State of Israel more and more worthy..."&lt;br&gt; 

The number of soldiers and security personnel who have fallen since Nov. 29, 1947, when the UN accepted the partition, thus mandating the creation of a Jewish State, is 20,297. The struggle to re-create a Jewish homeland beginning in the year 1860, when Jews began to move outside Jerusalem's Old City walls, claimed an additional 1,485 victims, for a total of 21,782. Since 1920, over 3,500 Israelis have been murdered in terrorist attacks (see and ). Since last year's Memorial Day, 185 people have been killed.&lt;br&gt; 

The War of Independence was Israel's costliest war, with more than 6,000 dead and 15,000 wounded. The war consisted of 39 separate operations, fought from the borders of Lebanon to the Sinai Peninsula and Eilat, and ended in 1949. Virtually the entire Jewish population of Israel, then numbering 650,000 people, was mobilized in order to meet the coordinated assault of five regular Arab armies, in addition to the 1,000,000 Arabs living west of the Jordan River.&lt;BR&gt;

Then followed several years of "relative" quiet - during which there were "1,339 cases of armed clashes with Egyptian armed forces, 435 cases of incursion from Egyptian-controlled territory, and 172 cases of sabotage perpetrated by Egyptian military units and fedayeen in Israel," in which 101 Israelis were killed, as Israeli Ambassador to the UN Abba Eban explained to the Security Council on October 30, 1956. Eban gave these statistics the day after Israel began the Sinai Campaign - its military response to Egypt's violation of international agreements with its sealing off the Israeli port of Eilat, effectively stopping Israel's sea trade with much of Africa and the Far East. A total of 231 Israeli soldiers died in the fighting. In March 1957, after receiving international guarantees that Israel's vital waterways would remain open, Israel withdrew from the Sinai and Gaza - yet the Egyptians still refused to open the Suez Canal to Israeli shipping. &lt;br&gt; 

The Six-Day War broke out on June 5, 1967. Despite the stunning victories, over 770 Israelis were killed.&lt;br&gt; 

Then began the period of the War of Attrition. The Israeli death toll between June 15, 1967, and August 8, 1970, when a cease-fire was declared, was 1,424 soldiers and more than 100 civilians.&lt;br&gt; 

Egypt, Syria and Jordan attacked Israel on Yom Kippur, 1973. The IDF ultimately emerged victorious, but a total of 2,688 soldiers were killed.&lt;br&gt; 

In June 1982, in response to continued terrorist attacks from across the Lebanese border, and most specifically an assassination attempt by a Palestinian terrorist group on Israel's Ambassador to Great Britain Shlomo Argov - which left him crippled and hospitalized until his death last year - Israel attacked Hizbullah in what was known as Operation Peace for Galilee. Close to 460 soldiers were killed between June and December 1982, and another 760 in daily ambushes against Israeli forces by May 31, 1985.&lt;br&gt; 

In December 1987, the first Arab "intifada" broke out, lasting for some three years. In more than 3,600 Molotov cocktail attacks, 100 grenade attacks and 600 assaults with guns or explosives against civilians and soldiers, 27 Israelis were killed and more than 3,100 Israelis were wounded. &lt;br&gt; 

In the years following the signing of the Oslo Agreement in 1993, 250 Israelis were killed up until the beginning of what became known as the Oslo War. Approximately another 840 Israelis have been felled by PA terrorists and gunmen since September 2000.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;

The Song Of Betar
by Ze'ev Jabotinsky&lt;br&gt; 

Betar -
From the pit of decay and dust
Through blood and sweat
A generation will arise to us,
Proud generous and fierce.
Captured Betar
Yodefet and Masada
Will arise in strength and majesty.&lt;br&gt;

Hadar -
A Jew even in poverty is a prince
Though a slave or a tramp.
You were created the son of a king,
Crowned with David's crown,
The crown of pride and strife.&lt;br&gt;

Tagar -
Despite every besieger and enemy
Whether you rise or fall
With the torch of revolt
Carry a fire to kindle: "No matter."
Because silence is filth
Give up blood and soul
For the sake of the hidden beauty
To die or conquer the mount.&lt;br&gt;

Yodefet, Masada, Betar &lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;B&gt;Shir HaDegel - Anthem of the Flag&lt;BR&gt;
by Ze'ev Jabotinsky&lt;BR&gt;

Do not say that we are not
The blood of our father the Maccabee
For three drops of his blood
Are mingled in my heart's blood
One is like the color of the Kinneret
One is like snow and one is gold
On the armband on the flag
On the head and in the heart
Forever our souls will find
Knowledge, beauty, purity
And from our Holy Mount will go forth
The truth which is Torah&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

&lt;font color="#3399FF"&gt;&lt;b&gt;11:00 AM Jerusalem, Israel&lt;/CENTER&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;Remembrance Day&lt;BR&gt;

Yom Hazikaron, a day of remembrance for those who fell in the struggle for the establishment of the State of Israel and in its defense, is marked during the 24 hours preceding Yom Haatsmaut (Israels Independence Day). On Yom Hazikaron the entire nation remembers its debt and expresses eternal gratitude to its sons and daughters who gave their lives for the achievement of the countrys independence and its continued existence.&lt;BR&gt;

Yom Hazikaron is a day of collective and personal anguish mingled with awe and honor for the fallen. It is a day on which the living rededicate themselves to the State of Israel, so that they may be worthy of the sacrifice of those who died for its survival.&lt;BR&gt;

In Israel, Yom Hazikaron commences countrywide with the sound of sirens proclaiming a two-minute silence during which all activity and traffic cease. Flags are flown at half mast and memorial ceremonies are held all over the country. Ending at sundown, the somber, reflective mood of Yom Hazikaron gives way to the celebration of Yom Haatsmaut, a transition which emphasizes the lasting tie between the sacrifice of the countrys fallen and the continued existence of a vibrant and dynamic State of Israel.&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;BR&gt; 
Omein&lt;br&gt;
&lt;CENTER&gt;NEVER AGAIN&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;font color="#00FFFF"&gt;&lt;b&gt;JEW-ISH???&lt;br&gt;

With all due respect, I wrote this article after much debating with myself on this issue. I believe it to be absolutely true, and would welcome any critical comment from those who know me, since I am Chabad Lubavitch and have studied the Law all of my life...&lt;br&gt;
So...Jew-ish?
Not hardly. I intend to stop calling myself a Jew and I am definitely NOT Jew-ish. Jew-ish means Jew-like.&lt;br&gt;
I ask you this, Hebrews. Whose Law do we obey? Is it NOT The Mosaic Law? Do we not read from the Mazoretic Texts? From HEBREW texts?&lt;br&gt; 
Where, praytell, are the Laws of Judah? Find them for me and I will say I am wrong.
Those who know their history know full well that *Jew* was an epithet directed at the Tribe of Judah during the ancient Hebrew Civil Wars. It was an epithet then, it is an epithet now... though raised to greater heights during the rise of Roman Hellenism, the Islamic rise, and then the 3rd Reich. &lt;br&gt;
Why have we adopted an epithet to call ourselves when it was used as much as a disparaging word  in Biblical times, repeated in the tomes of RC Doctrine to equate Jews as an evil thing, to Jude during the Reich to equate us with vermin, and should it not be as painful to the Hebrew soul to be called an epithet like *Jew* as much as being called a kike?&lt;br&gt;
I have come to believe that it is and will not answer to the word, Jew, anymore. &lt;br&gt;
Have we not, as a people, gathered in ourselves as Israel? Who here, or anywhere, is Judah-ish, or Levi-ish, or Benjamin-ish? There is no such thing as Juda-ism. There is Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We are the inheritors of being monotheistic Hebrew from Abraham, and Israel from Jacob. No one has rewritten our history to preclude or discount the Lawgiver. It was NOT Judah. It was G-d and Moses. THAT is the People we are gathered from the four corners of the Earth. We are Israel in name  and Hebrew in religion, though the word Hebrew, or the Name, Moses, for that matter, is seldom heard among the Children of Israel anymore. &lt;br&gt;We have taken their dirty word for us and claimed it is what we are. It has become a spitting word to 3/4 of the world, and still we operate under the mistaken notion that we respect ourselves when we claim the name the world has bestowed upon us as a sign of their disrespect for all that we are or ever were.&lt;br&gt;
There is also no such thing as Judeo-Christian doctrine or ethics. There are Hebrew ethics adopted by Christians and spliced into their lexicon.&lt;br&gt; I do not blame them for this. Our  Laws, some of which were patterned after The Code of Hammurabi which Abraham knew well, had more to do with justice than with worship. Our other Laws came from Moses and contained far more than mere codes of justice, but the Commandments were dictated by the Lord G-d Almighty and Christianity has changed them.&lt;br&gt;
I wrote this on my website at the height of the seige at The Church of the Nativity.&lt;BR&gt;
As Christians worldwide condemn Israelis for trying to save your Church from oblivion, remember it is not YOUR blood you willingly shed to save it.&lt;br&gt;
The blood being spilled is Hebrew blood and if were not for the fact that Israelis respect the sanctity &lt;big&gt;Christians&lt;/big&gt; place on the Nativity, there would be no sanctuary for the murderers inside. The Church would be street level by now.&lt;br&gt;
As you condemn, where is the condemnation for the cold-blooded killers that stood directly in front of your church while watching their fellow Muslims being raided for THEIR terrible acts?&lt;br&gt;Where is your outrage that the *priests* appointed by Arafat are not Catholic, or even Christian, but Islamic clerics wearing priestly robes?&lt;br&gt;
The terrorists watched. They smoked. They laughed. And they did nothing to stop their own camp from being attacked because of them.&lt;br&gt;
Even when the time came for them to fight, without their women and children to hide behind, they stormed the Church to hide behind Priests and Nuns and a G-d they do not believe in.&lt;br&gt;
WHAT THEY DID KNOW...WHAT THEY DID COUNT ON, WAS ISRAELI MORALITY.&lt;br&gt;
They consider it weakness. They would never have let something so *spiritual* as our G-d stand in their way.&lt;br&gt;
They have stolen the souls of all they touch and they have wrent your souls assunder.&lt;br&gt;
FOR SHAME THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT HEBREW BLOOD TO BE SHED YET AGAIN FOR YOUR COWARDICE AND THE COWARDICE OF THE CHURCH LEADERSHIP.&lt;br&gt;
Were I so evil, I would say to you that your church is not my church and that MY Lord has forsworn us from idolatry, and we should not be in the position of protecting idolators.&lt;br&gt;
But I am not so evil. Neither are my people, so while we do not worship your idols, we realize they are sacred to you because the truth of the First and Second Commandments have never stopped the leaders of the Church once Rome took it for itself.&lt;br&gt;
You live in a fool's world. G-d protects fools because they know not what they do.&lt;br&gt;
So we protect you.&lt;br&gt;
And don't you just hate us for it?&lt;br&gt;
G-d's Commandments:&lt;br&gt;
1ST and 2ND COMMANDMENTS: I AM THE LORD THY G-D WHO BROUGHT THEE OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, OUT OF THE HOUSE OF BONDAGE.&lt;br&gt;
THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER G-DS BEFORE ME. THOU SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO THEE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE, NOR ANY MANNER OF LIKENESS, OF ANYTHING THAT IS IN THE HEAVEN ABOVE, OR THAT IS IN THE EARTH BENEATH, OR THAT IS IN THE WATER UNDER THE EARTH; THOU SHALT NOT BOW DOWN UNTO THEM, NOR SERVE THEM; FOR I THE LORD THE G-D AM A JEALOUS G-D, VISITING THE INIQUITY OF THE FATHERS UPON THE CHILDREN UNTO THE THIRD AND FOURTH GENERATION THAT HATE ME
AND SHOWING MERCY UNTO THE THOUSANDTH GENERATION OF THEM THAT LOVE ME AND
KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.&lt;br&gt;
The following is directly from a Catholic Priest; the explanation used for years to condone the unforgivable.&lt;br&gt;
In his own words:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#339999"&gt;"Catholics worship statues!" Despite how ridiculous the claim is, people still make this accusation. They say that because Catholics have statues in their churches and pray in front of them, they are violating God's commandment: "You shall not make for yourself a graven image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in earth beneath, or that is in water under the earth: you shall not bow down to them or serve them" (Ex. 20:4-5); "Alas, this people have sinned a great sin; they have made for themselves gods of gold" (Ex. 32:31).&lt;br&gt;
"This tract will examine the standard Fundamentalist arguments against the ancient Christian practice of using images, and it will as provide a brief biblical response to these arguments, showing the Scriptural evidence for this practice."&lt;br&gt;
"First, let's point out that it's right to warn people against the sin of idolatry."&lt;br&gt;
"But the accusation that Catholics are idolaters because they have images of Christ and the saints is completely incorrect, being based on a misunderstanding or ignorance of what the Bible says about the purpose and use (both good and bad) of statues."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#00FFFF"&gt;The above statement is intentionally pyschobabble. It is at best, a rationalization, but for all practical purposes, it is a lie. It is a lie that has caused many millions of people throughout the centuries to sin. &lt;br&gt;
What is the lie, you say. Continue.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#339999"&gt;Anti-Catholic writer Loraine Boettner, in his book Roman Catholicism, claims that it is a sin to have statues because "God has forbidden the use of images in worship" (p. 281). Many Protestants embrace this claim, yet if they were to "search the scriptures" (cf. John 5:39), they would find that exactly the opposite is true. Not only did God never condemn the use of statues in worship (though to be sure he did condemn the worship of statues), he actually commanded their use!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#00FFFF"&gt;*note the small h for He, The Lord.&lt;br&gt;
Remember the&lt;big&gt; whole&lt;/big&gt; of the FIRST AND SECOND COMMANDMENTS. It did not change because a MAN said it did.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#339999"&gt;&lt;big&gt;GOD SAID TO MAKE THEM&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br&gt;
"While Protestants and others quote Exodus 20:4-5 to bolster their charge of Catholic "statue worship," they forget about the numerous other passages where the Lord commands the carving of statues: "And you shall make two cherubim of gold [i.e., two carved statues of angels]; of hammered work shall you make them, on the two ends of the mercy seat. Make one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end; of one piece of the mercy seat shall you make the cherubim on its two ends. The cherubim shall spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim be" (Ex. 25:18-20)."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#00FFFF"&gt;Have any of you seen cherubim In Heaven, ON Earth, or IN the Water?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#339999"&gt;David gave Solomon the plan "for the altar of incense made of refined gold, and its weight; also his plan for the golden chariot of the cherubim that spread their wings and covered the ark of the covenant of the Lord. All this he made clear by the writing of the hand of the Lord concerning it all, all the work to be done according to the plan" (1 Chr. 28:18-19). Note that all this was directed according to divinely inspired writing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#00FFFF"&gt;Please note, it was not the writing that was to be worshipped. It was to be housed and TAUGHT! From generation to generation, forever.&lt;br&gt;&lt;big&gt; TAUGHT.&lt;/big&gt; Not worshipped.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#339999"&gt;Ezekiel 41:15 describes graven images in the Temple: "on the walls round about in the inner room and [on] the nave were carved likenesses of cherubim."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#00FFFF"&gt;And again, except for a few delusional LSD users, who among you have seen cherubim  In Heaven, ON Earth, or IN the Water??? In any case, the carvings were not to bow down to nor worship. They were ornate decorations which involved NOTHING of the sort of admonishment contained in the Commandments.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#339999"&gt;&lt;big&gt;THE RELIGIOUS USE OF IMAGES&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br&gt;
During a plague of serpents he sent to punish the wicked Israelites, God told Moses to "make [a statue of] a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and every one who is bitten, when he sees it shall live. So Moses made a bronze serpent, and set it on a pole; and if a serpent bit any man, he would look at the bronze serpent and live" (Num. 21:8-9).&lt;br&gt;
The fact that one had to look at the bronze statue of the serpent in order to be healed shows that statues could be used ritually, not merely as religious decorations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#00FFFF"&gt;Have any of you seen fiery serpents IN Heaven, ON Earth, IN Water??? This was a test of faith. G-d's OWN test. Not to be toyed with or used in later centuries to lead His people astray as nimbly as this church has done.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#339999"&gt;Catholics use statues, paintings, and other artistic devices to recall the person or thing depicted. Just as it is helps to remember one's mother by looking at her photograph, so it helps to recall the example of the saints by looking at pictures of them. Catholics also use statues as teaching tools. In the early Church they were especially useful for the instruction of the illiterate. Many Protestants themselves have pictures of Jesus and other Bible pictures in Sunday school for purposes of teaching children, especially those who haven't learned to read. Catholics also use statues to commemorate certain people and events, much like Protestant churches that have three-dimensional nativity scenes at Christmas.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#00FFFF"&gt;This is a bogus claim.&lt;br&gt; SAINT is a word that Christians use to sanctify people. MEN cannot judge those who G-d would sanctify. By doing so, you usurp the Lord and spit in the Lord's eye. G-d chooses those who will be remembered on earth BY THEIR WORKS and I remember Shakespeare though I have never met him and he is not a saint. G-d chooses His prophets and they are not saints. G-d chooses who lives forever or ends right here. No MAN has this power.&lt;br&gt;
Furthermore, the Church deliberately kept most people illiterate as it feared those who might eventually understand what terrible wrongs had been perpetrated in the name of a purported HEBREW RABBI whose purpose was to bring His people out of Hellenization and back to MOSAIC LAW. NO Hebrew Rabbi would have condoned such things since knowledge was a virtue among Hebrews.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#339999"&gt;If one measured Protestants by the same rule, then by using these "graven" images, they would be practicing the "idolatry" which they accuse Catholics of practicing. But the fact is, there's no idolatry going on in these situations. God forbids the worship of images, but he doesn't ban the making of images in general. If he had, movies, videos, photographs, manger scenes, paintings, drawings, and all sorts of things would be banned, since they too are images.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#00FFFF"&gt;Neither do any of these things REQUIRE genuflection. Only the Church. Nor are any of these things to be worshipped and were not made with such thoughts in mind. The psychology of the Church is to MISLEAD, not lead.&lt;br&gt;
Since Rome took over the Church, they have consistently misled people on Scripture with Dogma and illegitimate doctrine. It is a religion of men, made by men, enforced by men, and enormously disdainful of women. In short, it is blasphemous from its beginning even up to and including this very moment.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#339999"&gt;&lt;b&gt;WHAT ABOUT BOWING?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Sometimes anti-Catholics cite Deuteronomy 5:9, where God said concerning statues, "You shall not bow down to them." Since many Catholics sometimes bow or kneel in front of statues of Jesus and the saints, anti-Catholics confuse the legitimate veneration of a sacred image with the sin of idolatry. The fact is, Deuteronomy 5:9 doesn't help the anti-Catholic argument.&lt;br&gt;
First, remember that although bowing can be used as a posture in worship, not all bowing is worship. For example, in Japan it is the custom for people to show respect and politeness by bowing in greeting (the equivalent of shaking hands in the West). Obviously there is no "worship" going on here. The Catholic who kneels in front of a statue when praying isn't worshipping or even praying to the statue anymore than the Protestant who kneels with a Bible in his hands when praying is worshipping or praying to the Bible.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#00FFFF"&gt;Here again is a rationalization of something which compares apples to oranges. No one prays TO a Bible. The Bible is there to be READ, not worshipped. Secondly, in Japan, you are not REQUIRED to bow down before someone as a sign of worship. It is their way of politeness. Thirdly, it is THEIR tradition, much like a salute. There is no other reason to bend your knee before a statue than the Church says it is the IMAGE of worship. The Church REQUIRES it, although G-d has specifically commanded that THOU SHALT NOT BOW DOWN UNTO THEM.&lt;br&gt;
You are required to cross yourself with *Holy Water*. Who can make Holy Water? Some bottling plant in Peoria? It is a certainty that no MAN can. So the entire mass begins with a lie, continues with blasphemy, and ends with blasphemy. No man can replace G-d. Didn't Christianity's Jesus, Himself, TEACH you how you should pray? Why then do you need a Psychology professional to tell you how?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#339999"&gt;When people had to look to the bronze serpent to be healed, they were not worshipping it, as shown by the fact that, years later when they did worship it, and even gave it a name ("Nehushtan") as a snake-god, the righteous king Hezekiah had it destroyed (2 Kgs. 18:4).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#00FFFF"&gt;And by THIS admission, he makes everything that came before a lie. What better example of the *Christ as G-d* Dogma do you need? &lt;big&gt;NO OTHER G-DS BEFORE ME.&lt;/big&gt; When you began to worship an image as a god, you were destroyed.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#339999"&gt;&lt;big&gt;"HIDING" THE 2nd COMMANDMENT?&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Another charge made by Protestants is that the Catholic Church "hides" the second commandment. This is because in Catholic catechisms the first commandment is: "You shall have no other Gods before me" (Ex. 20:3) and the second is: "You shall not take the name of the Lord in vain." (Ex. 20:7). They argue that Catholics have deleted the prohibition of idolatry in order to justify their use of religious statues.&lt;br&gt;
But this is false. The fact is, Catholics simply group the commandments differently than Protestants traditionally have and abbreviate them for ease of memorization.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#00FFFF"&gt;In other words, the Catholics hid the Second Commandment and do not tell you what the full meaning behind it is. They have sought to make it seem less important than it really is lacking the understanding, that by breaking the second, you can NEVER keep the third. It guarantees the sin.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#339999"&gt;That such abbreviating is reasonable to Protestants is demonstrated by their common rendering of the Sabbath Commandment as simply, "Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy," though the actual text of the commandment is quite lengthy: "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work; but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your manservant, or your maidservant, or your cattle, or the sojourner who is within your gates; for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it" (Ex. 20:8-11).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#00FFFF"&gt;And yet, Rome changed the Sabbath Day to suit itself and guaranteed yet another sin. Jesus Himself admonished that you had best pray the retribution does not come on the Sabbath because you would not be able to run. These are not the sentiments of someone who paid no heed to the Sabbath as Paul decreed in his successful attempt to pervert The Mosaic Law to Romanism. Romanism is Pagan as it gets. The Trinity with all its *saints* is its Pantheon. And the hierarchy is as corrupt as the day is long.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#339999"&gt;Martin Luther recognized that the statements "You shall have no other gods before me" (Ex. 20:3) and "You shall not make for yourself a graven image" (Ex. 20:4) are in fact two parts of a single command, and he abbreviated them to "You shall have no other gods before me."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#00FFFF"&gt;(Never mind that Matin Luther was a notorious anti-semite.) You pray to Mary. You pray to Jesus. You pray to *Saints*. You venerate a MAN, (the Pope,) as the human representation of G-d on earth. Excuse me, but no pope is, or ever was, even a mediocre substitute for G-d. Because you do not understand the FIRST and SECOND COMMANDMENTS. They go together and cannot be separated according to what some cipheror decides their importance to each other is. They were written plainly and succinctly. Any diversion is sin of the highest order.&lt;br&gt;
You genuflect before priests, men and women, and accept wafers into your mouths which represent human flesh. You drink from a chalice which represents human blood. G-d has forbidden these things. For all practical purposes, this practice is a representation of outright cannibalism.&lt;br&gt;
I have taken time to tell you these things. It is up to you to understand, accept, or reject it.&lt;br&gt;
It's a very short explanation. I could get more technical. But this is the truth and you don't hear it from Roman Clergy.&lt;br&gt;
You have taken our religion, our laws, and turned them inside out, upside down, and invented Original Sin to deal with it. Someday, when My People are NOT being strangled by madmen and Chosen people wannabes, I'll tell you why Original Sin is impossible.&lt;br&gt;
Having said all this, I still did not wish to see you lose your Church. It's simply that you are so ungrateful, I don't think you deserved it.&lt;br&gt;
And the sun has gone down in Bethlehem.....&lt;br&gt;
Hebrews, do you understand me? Is there a Book in the Old Testament called The Book of JEWS?&lt;br&gt;
NO!&lt;br&gt;
THINK about who you are, why you are, where you came from, and the LAW you are supposed to follow. We are NOT *their* jews. We are Hebrews. We are Israelites. And we had best start being who we really are  instead of what the rest of the world has chosen FOR us. My name is not an epithet. My religion is not an epithet, despite the common practice we have adopted of taking their epithet as our NAME.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;font color="#FF6600"&gt;&lt;b&gt;SHAME, Irwin Graulich!!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The horror of secularism's intentional misstating as to the intent of Judaic Law...&lt;br&gt;
You have essentially taken a case of unintended consequences which is the accidental death of an unborn child, or manslaughter, and compared it to outright murder. HaShem definitely makes a distinction between these things. You would lead your people to SIN???&lt;br&gt; 
Your interpretation of the Torah, which I know and understand, left me gasping in stunned silence at the gross and unethical position you have put forth. G-d NEVER condoned the intentional murder of a child in the womb. You should feel intense shame at presenting this unthinkable position to Jewish women because they will NOT be absolved if they CHOOSE death for their children, nor will women of any other religion or no religion at all.&lt;br&gt;
Understanding the original scripture, not updated to suit your times, is paramount to understanding G-d's Commandments. You have taken the context and spun it into lead so to blind those who haven't the teaching nor the common sense you have stripped away from the righteous to make the secular &lt;b&gt;feel&lt;/b&gt; righteous when they aren't, and can't ever be, according to your interpretation.&lt;br&gt;
Exodus 21: Verse 22-25:&lt;br&gt;
22: *And if men strive together, and HURT a woman with child, so that her fruit depart, and yet no harm follow, he shall surely be fined, according as the woman's shall lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.&lt;br&gt;
*Note: &lt;b&gt;"...yet no harm follow"&lt;/b&gt; means that the child did &lt;b&gt;NOT&lt;/b&gt; die. You will see in the next verses that these passages have nothing to do with the mother per se, but rather with the life of the child.&lt;br&gt;
23: *But if any harm follow, then thou shalt give life for life,&lt;br&gt;24: eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,&lt;br&gt;25: burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.&lt;br&gt;
*Note. These verses make no mention whatever of the mother or the life of the mother. It is clearly the unborn child that is the main concern of these verses. Hence, if the mother miscarries and the child is born prematurely but alive, no loss of life has occurred, so a fine is the recompense for carelessness, but should the child die, it is the same as murder and is treated as such.&lt;br&gt;
Your updated version makes no sense as written.&lt;br&gt; 
&lt;b&gt;SO!&lt;br&gt;
How DARE YOU!!!???!!!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="white"&gt;
Excerpt by Irwin Graulich from an article on *Jewish Thought on Abortion*&lt;a href="http://www.arutzsheva.com/article.php3?id=3452"&gt;Arutz Sheva:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;"""&lt;/b&gt;What pro-choice and pro-life advocates fail to realize is that their positions make them either accessories to murder, or accomplices to a meaningless beauty salon activity or cosmetic surgery procedure. Now that we see the inherent foolishness of both positions, there is a need to examine the Biblical context for an astonishing revelation on this Solomonic issue.&lt;br&gt;
In Exodus, chapter 21, verses 22-23, it states, "If men shall fight, and they collide with a pregnant woman, and she miscarries, but the woman lives, the punishment on the men is financial, as determined by judges. But if the woman dies, there should be capital punishment." Watch the brilliance and wisdom of these two sentences.&lt;br&gt;
These verses clearly illustrate two important concepts. First, that the fetus is not a full life. If it were, capital punishment would be called for, as mentioned in the second sentence. We are also shown that the fetus is not a worthless piece of tissue, like excess nasal cartilage, since financial remuneration is required by the offenders. In addition, there are later references to the health of the mother taking precedence to the unborn.&lt;br&gt;
So how do we interpret this God-given posture and how does it totally resolve the issue? This astounding centrist Jewish position is equally distant between pro-choice and pro-life. It simply states that abortion is not murder...and is not nothing! The only way to enforce these seemingly contradictory positions is to allow an immoral act, while at the same time to discourage it strongly, which is exactly what is done in Israel in the majority of cases.&lt;b&gt;"""&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Lest anyone discount the ramifications of the Greco-Roman scourge of Israel and Jews, this story has yet to play itself out. The Greeks lay claim through a madwoman, Constantine's mother, to the *birthplace* of Jesus, which happened to be wondrous land upon which a hole in the ground, (tunnel entrance?) became the *stable* of the birth. It also annexed unto itself the Shepherd's Field and much of the best real estate in the country. They own the very land upon which the Knesset is built.&lt;br&gt;
The Armenians, Greeks, and Romans had a great deal of bad blood between them when the three Catholic sects each claimed the Nativity for their own and stubbornly fought over times and dates, architecture, keys and decor, and space.&lt;br&gt;
After all these centuries, the Greeks are still the only ones to have the key which opens the locked entrance into the maze of catacombs under the Nativity. It is the power they hold over the other two, though the Romans replaced the Armenian plate which had shielded the *stable* with a brass plate of their own, written in their own language, and seriously undermined both other sects in so doing.&lt;br&gt;
There will be more info on this with time. It is history worth knowing because a day will come when everyone must choose their final path. Choose wisely. It cannot be unchosen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;font color="white"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.arutzsheva.com/news.php3?id=59260"&gt;Arutz Sheva - Israel National News&lt;/a&gt;: "Irineos Appointment Once Again in Limbo"&lt;br&gt; 
17:08 Mar 11, '04 / 18 Adar 5764&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://img25.photobucket.com/albums/v76/NixTwo/Blog%20Pics/irineos.jpg"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Greek Patriarch Irineos&lt;br&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;The controversial appointment of Irineos as Greek Orthodox Church Patriarch in Israel is still in limbo - because of a dramatic and almost unprecedented judicial step taken by Supreme Court Justice Mishael Cheshin.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Irineos Update:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
A suit against the controversial appointment of Irineos as Greek Orthodox Church Patriarch in Israel has been rejected - but the appointment is still in limbo. This, because of a dramatic and almost unprecedented judicial step taken by Supreme Court Justice Mishael Cheshin.&lt;br&gt;
This past Thursday, a three-justice panel ruled that the appointment of Irineos - a known anti-Semite with strong ties with Yasser Arafat - has diplomatic ramifications, and that therefore the Court wishes not to intervene. The Court thus dismissed serious charges brought by Yosef Laufer regarding Irineos' ties with the PA leadership and claims of blackmail, threats and bribery. Laufer also cited 
&lt;a href="http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=36169"&gt;letters written by Irineos&lt;/a&gt; noting the 'sentiments of disgust and disrespect that all the Holy Sepulcher fathers feel for the descendants of the crucifiers of our Lord... actual crucifiers of your people, Sionists [sic] Jewish conquerors of the Holy Land of Palestine...' and promising that if chosen as Patriarch, 'rest assured, Mr. President [Arafat], that the rights of our most beloved Palestinian people on the Holy City of Jerusalem will find the most 'hot' supporter.'&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://img25.photobucket.com/albums/v76/NixTwo/Blog%20Pics/Irineos.jpg"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
Welfare Minister Zevulun Orlev, who voted against the appointment, expressed his concern at the time that "two years ago, all the professional elements, such as the Shabak and the police, objected to Irineos - but now, suddenly, none of them are willing to open their mouths... All of a sudden, no one has an opinion - not the police, not the Shabak, not the Prime Minister's Office, and not the Jerusalem Municipality. This is very mysterious." Despite this, the three-judge panel, as noted, dismissed the suit and its charges, and instructed the government to issue the official appointment to Irineos, in accordance with its decision of January 25.&lt;br&gt;
Then Justice Cheshin stepped in. Only a few hours after the above decision, and while Irineos and cronies were in the midst of celebrating it, Cheshin ordered it suspended - on the grounds stated in another suit brought against it. A Greek Orthodox Christian living in the Galilee, Yusuf Naaman Nasser, had claimed that the appointment of a man who is "corrupt and devoid of moral values" at the head of his church was a violation of his religious rights. Justice Cheshin ruled that Nasser could re-submit his appeal of the decision by this coming Sunday, and that the government would then have 15 more days to respond.&lt;br&gt;
Arutz-7's Shimon Cohen reports that elements in the Greek Orthodox Church are now "agitatedly" bringing up issues such as real estate deals in Cyprus, and others with a Nazareth businessman named Bedia Tanus, to the tune of millions of dollars - money that never reached the Greek Orthodox Church coffers.&lt;br&gt; 
It has also been noted that parts of the Greek island that David Appel wished to purchase belong to the Greek Orthodox Church. Appel has been indicted on charges of trying to bribe Prime Minister Sharon in regards to this purchase. Sharon, though he has not been indicted for accepting these bribes, has long favored the controversial appointment of Irineos as Patriarch of the Church. Appel is similarly accused of bribing Trade Minister Ehud Olmert when the latter served as Mayor of Jerusalem. The suspicion is that Appel's financial support for Olmert when the latter ran for Knesset came in exchange for Olmert's help in connecting Appel with Greek officials.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt; 
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://img25.photobucket.com/albums/v76/NixTwo/Blog%20Pics/ariel-sharon.jpg"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
Welfare Minister Orlev, who, as noted, objected to Irineos' appointment, was asked at the time whether, in his opinion, "real estate elements close to the Prime Minister are the ones who are pushing for the appointment." Orlev said, "Questions of this nature must be directed to the Prime Minister himself."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;**************&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#00FFCC"&gt;In the past days, I've commented that we have had leaders who have sold us out and mentioned times, but not names. In recent times, there have been Rabin, Peres, Barak, Ben Eliezer, Mitzna, Yossi Beilin, (in order below...,) and one might hopefully pray that these traitors do not include Sharon, among others in Israel perfectly willing to open Jewish veins for personal glory or to protect some other ideology, (or their own butts.) Like everywhere in the world, the Israeli &lt;b&gt;left&lt;/b&gt; is marxist and truly needs to be gagged, bound and dragged off to an island somewhere they can only communicate with each other.&lt;br&gt;

 The same can be said for the far left here and everywhere else on the planet. None of these people care about either their countries or their people though they come in all shapes, sizes, ethnic backgrounds, and some even claim religion which, of course, they do not and cannot possibly follow and espouse the positions they hold on to with bloody fingernails as they seek to destroy all that is good and moral in the world. Some are barbarians. Some are bestial. Some are, at best, sub-human lacking conscience. (I give you most US Democrats and Israeli Labourites for the past 25 years.) &lt;br&gt;

Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;font color="#00FFCC"&gt;&lt;b&gt;
Some of  you will find a most unusual, but brutally honest, appraisal of Mel Gibson's movie here. Please know that although I did find it to be horridly antisemitic, it was not of Mel Gibson's doing. Mel Gibson's intent was to tell the truth as it was written. He did and did it so well that its real meaning was an intense clarification of the truth. It was the New Testament written  by Rome for use against Jews and  Later Christians alike.&lt;p&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://img25.photobucket.com/albums/v76/NixTwo/Nix%20Pix/IT_IS_DONE_FR.jpg"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;font color="#00FFCC"&gt;&lt;b&gt;I went into the movie with a completely open mind, trusting in the goodness of the man I THOUGHT Mel Gibson was, to tell the truth and nothing but the truth. Having seen it once, it stunned me with its clarity, but to try and be as historically accurate as I could, I saw it a second time to note if I had missed anything. If there was any doubt at all as to what my eyes beheld after reading it over and over for years, the doubt is totally removed and clearly, what was on that screen was the beginning in earnest of the Jewish Holocaust.&lt;br&gt;
Q.  WHO Killed Christ?&lt;br&gt;
A. NO ONE. &lt;br&gt;
Q. How do you know?&lt;br&gt;
A. Morality continues to exist. Conscience exists.&lt;br&gt;
The Lord, My G-d, harshly condemned human sacrifice because we are fashioned after His own Image. He did not allow the sacrifice of Isaac at his father's hand. It does not, therefore, stand to reason that this same G-d would especially create and deliver up a human being for sacrifice when the example that was used in the Old Testament to stop this forever was the girlchild of the last Hebrew to offer up a human sacrifice. The punishment for the sin, the loss of a beloved child, was all the more painful than the death itself because G-d did NOT want to ever have such a thing done by Hebrews any more.&lt;br&gt;Why then, would He use ANY child, since we carry G-d within us everywhere all the time, to make murderers of the whole world? If that was how G-d did things, and we were never meant to endure punishment for our own sins ever again, why love, hate, fear or follow the Lord at all?&lt;br&gt;Do you not see how the Romans diminished the Glory of G-d in this atrocity? To murder His OWN SON in cold blood?&lt;br&gt;
AND &lt;big&gt;Rome exists&lt;/big&gt; to try and make sure that a Moshiach cannot possibly come by strangling our faith and precluding our worthiness for redemption by inventing original sin that is supposed to include us all.&lt;br&gt;
The movie was about &lt;big&gt;ROME'S antisemitism.&lt;/big&gt; Rome tried to recreate Jews in their own image, but only the weak and the power hungry followed the path laid out for them. It gained them no respect among Real Jews or among Romans who hated them for no other reason than Jews frowned upon Rome's *enlightened* lifestyle with its multipurpose gods and goddesses and its debauchery.&lt;br&gt;Why would we ever want to be remade in a false image when we were already made in G-d's OWN image? It presented a clearer picture of the *why* such a crucifixion was ever written about, and the absolutely chilling realization that with this introduction of horror into the pesky religious Jews' daily lives, Rome made absolutely sure that this, the beginning of the genocide of the Jews, became a holocaust that would never end for all of time.&lt;br&gt; The leaders of this church made exceedingly sure that Rome's way of life, the unnatural lack of marriage, homosexuality, pedophilia, women as chattel,  which religious Jews could never have accepted, would go on and they continue to rid the world of as many Jews as they could even as they were  going on to usurp and devour other cultures, other religions, in very much the same way. There are whole peoples who have no history because it was stolen from them. That's YOU.&lt;br&gt;
Rome's adversity to birth control and abortion isn't for humane reasons. It is to see to it that more Catholics are born to carry on their traditions which everyday Christians still do not understand even though it becomes more clear with each passing day.&lt;br&gt;
Having believed within my own soul that the Christ Rome manufactured, was in truth, John the Baptist, The Passion made it more clear than I ever thought possible. You would not find this very realistic if you have no historical background to check the facts, however, I do. John was murdered for doing exactly what this Christ was to have done. He fought vehemently against the petty rules of the Great Sanhedrin (which comes from a &lt;big&gt;Greek&lt;/big&gt; word meaning sitting together, (or council,)  and against the evil High Priest Caiaphas for selling out his people to Rome, much the same way our leaders have tried to sell us out and have had us murdered via The Altadena, Oslo, Wye, Rabbi Kahane OBM, and so many more. Out of a council of 71, only 9 were portrayed as so evil they would condemn an innocent man in the dark of night in secret. Always, it has been thus. The higher G-d trying to be brought down and slain by MEN who wanted a power they could never hope to possess.&lt;br&gt;
In this movie, I watched Rome brutally torture, mutilate, scourge, and ultimately slay a &lt;big&gt;JEW&lt;/big&gt; THEY claimed was our Messiah after they realized that the process by which they had been trying to absorb the Jews into the Hellenistic culture would never work. You all know what a metaphor is. Jesus was a metaphor for JEW. What they could not change, they destroyed, stole our land and our holy Temple artifacts which are still in possession of the Vatican. It never stopped them from their quest to obliterate any culture different from theirs, and I am NOT talking about the Christianity you think you know.&lt;br&gt;
As was their wont, they picked one of our most meaningful Holy Days to perpetrate this image of horror and  evil on. We have never been able to celebrate our freedom from Egypt without seeing plays, ashes, tears, masses, and finally movies about the horrors that Rome passed on so excruciatingly by offering the new believers, not Jews but Gentiles...Muslims, Celts, Druids, Gauls, Norse, Spaniards, African Tribes, Island Tribes, Brits...graphic and terrifying details of the murdered Lord, King of the Jews, a man sacrificed like no other among crucifixions. And Rome began at  the moment they published their first version of this to destroy The Law and cause their sins to become yours because they said, and too many believed, that the *Old* Covenant was dead.&lt;br&gt;
The Vatican continues to be Rome, and the Romans continue to live with their old ways, condescendingly adapting first one and then another culture's holy days into a Roman Catholic holy day, and teach their converts to hate their brethren until they rid Rome of themselves. The remnant which remains is hardly enough for Rome to blink an eye at, so on and on they went until they murdered and destroyed every culture it came into contact with.&lt;br&gt;
This slaughter did not stop with just non-Christians. In the bygone days they were far too evil to hide their cruelty. If you were the most righteous Cardinal on this earth and it was perceived by the leaders in Rome that your followers had come to care much too much about you, they put you on trial, called your followers satanists, and it wasn't long before your name became simultaneous with Satan, aka Lucifer, a Catholic Cardinal, and his followers who underwent an inquisition for worshipping the devil. The good did not understand. The moral were viciously attacked.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;font color="#00FFCC"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Who made the decision to murder the Jews?&lt;br&gt; 
&lt;img src="http://img25.photobucket.com/albums/v76/NixTwo/Nix%20Pix/3_pic_Jesus_Trial.jpg"&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://img25.photobucket.com/albums/v76/NixTwo/Nix%20Pix/parkerouter.jpg"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;big&gt;Crusades&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;font color="#00FFCC"&gt;&lt;b&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/1096jews.html"&gt;"...they rose in a spirit of cruelty against the Jewish people scattered throughout these cities and slaughtered them without mercy,&lt;/a&gt; especially in the Kingdom of Lorraine, asserting it to be the beginning of their expedition and their duty against the enemies of the Christian faith. This slaughter of Jews was done first by citizens of Cologne. These suddenly fell upon a small band of Jews and severely wounded and killed many; they destroyed the houses and synagogues of the Jews and divided among themselves a very large, amount of money. When the Jews saw this cruelty, about two hundred in the silence of the night began flight by boat to Neuss. The pilgrims and crusaders discovered them, and after taking away all their possessions, inflicted on them similar slaughter, leaving not even one alive."&lt;br&gt;
"...Emico and the rest of his band held a council and, after sunrise, attacked the Jews in the hall with arrows and lances. Breaking the bolts and doors, they killed the Jews, about seven hundred in number, who in vain resisted the force and attack of so many thousands. They killed the women, also, and with their swords pierced tender children of whatever age and sex. The Jews, seeing that their Christian enemies were attacking them and their children, and that they were sparing no age, likewise fell upon one another, brother, children, wives, and sisters, and thus they perished at each other's hands. Horrible to say, mothers cut the throats of nursing children with knives and stabbed others, preferring them to perish thus by their own hands rather than to be killed by the weapons of the uncircumcised."&lt;br&gt; 
"Just at that time, there appeared a certain soldier, Emico, Count of the lands around the Rhine, a man long of very ill repute on account of his tyrannical mode of life. Called by divine revelation, like another Saul, as he maintained, to the practice of religion of this kind, he usurped to himself the command of almost twelve thousand cross bearers. As they were led through the cities of the Rhine and the Main and also the Danube, they either utterly destroyed the execrable race of the Jews wherever they found them (being even in this matter zealously devoted to the Christian religion) or forced them into the bosom of the Church."&lt;br&gt;
"... rumor had reached and forewarned the ears of King Coloman; a rumor that, to the minds of the Teutons, there was no difference between killing pagans and Hungarians.&lt;br&gt;
And thus the men of our race, zealous, doubtless, for God, though not according to the knowledge of God, began to persecute other Christians while yet upon the expedition which Christ had provided for freeing Christians."&lt;br&gt;
Spanish Inquisition:&lt;br&gt;
In 1478 when, at the request of the Spanish sovereigns Ferdinand and Isabella, Pope Sixtus IV (1471-84) issued a papal bull allowing for the creation of the Spanish Inquisition. It lasted until it was "abolished" in 1834, although its most fervent activity was during the 15th and 16th centuries.&lt;br&gt;
The Spanish Inquisition brought about "a reign of terror throughout Europe" which was responsible for the impoverishment, exile, and death of countless Jews, Muslims, and "heretical" Christians. Jews were singled out for persecution because of their identity as Jews. Concepts of an inquisition and inquisitorial procedure lie deep in the roots of world history. Inquisitions were used during the decline of the Roman Empire until the Spanish Inquisition's decline in the 19th century. The Inquisitions in both Spain and Portugal were run by both civil and church authorities in order to root out non-believers from a nation or religion.&lt;br&gt; 
Many people don't realize that very serious persecution began in Spain in the year 613 CE. Jews were given the options of either leaving Spain or converting to Christianity. Jewish children over 6 years of age were taken from their parents and given a Christian education.&lt;br&gt;
The Spanish Inquisition's reign of terror was abolished by King Bonaparte in 1834, but it wasn't until &lt;big&gt;January of 1968&lt;/big&gt; when the files of the Office of the Inquisition at the Vatican were closed.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;big&gt;New World:&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;img src="http://img25.photobucket.com/albums/v76/NixTwo/Nix%20Pix/inquisition_735_1a.jpg"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;
•  Being a part of the Inquisition had its privileges and rewards, and in this scarce publication the Holy Office lists all the religious indulgences that members and employees are entitled to. These range from plenary indulgences for dying while carrying out Inquisition business to Inquisitors having the power to lift excommunications imposed by clerics not part of the Holy Office.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://img25.photobucket.com/albums/v76/NixTwo/Nix%20Pix/inquisition_735_det1.jpg"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The typography of the “title-page” is handsome and uses different printers flowers to form a three-layered border around the type. Also contained within the border, but above the title, is a large woodcut of one version of the coat of arms of the Inquisition.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://img25.photobucket.com/albums/v76/NixTwo/Blog%20Pics/persecut.jpg"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;   
German society in the 1930s was permeated by antisemitism, racism, a utopian vision of humanity organized under German hegemony, and a deep-seated and basic callousness towards human life. All of these elements contributed to the form of warfare waged by Nazi Germany and were themselves reinforced by the war. Large and varied segments of this society accepted the basic tenet that the Jews had to disappear. Although the way to effect this disappearance was not clear, humanitarian considerations were in any case irrelevant.&lt;br&gt;  
In this atmosphere, the idea of encouraging Jews to emigrate evolved into a policy of deportation, then brutal deportation, and finally deportation for the purpose of murder. It is not clear whether Hitler instigated these developments or simply allowed them to happen, as his underlings on various levels took independent initiatives in order to interpret and carry out their superiors' wishes. When the SS and other agencies, including the army, efficiently murdered hundreds of thousands of Jews during the invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, Hitler knew that the option of total annihilation had become feasible. Over the next half-year, plans for the construction of extermination camps were made and their implementation began. The origin of the idea of murdering all the Jews is not clear, even though passages in Hitler's book Mein Kampf suggest that such an order might eventually be given. In view of the nature of the Nazi bureaucracy, the order itself had to have come from Hitler, but its implementation was the handiwork of many tens of thousands, with the acquiescence of millions.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;

LINCOLN, Nebraska --As a girl growing up on the Winnebago Reservation in northeast Nebraska, Sarah Berridge was warned by the nuns about the consequences of embracing the spiritual teachings of her people.&lt;br&gt;
"I was told I would go to hell," she said. "I was always scared to be an Indian as far as the Catholic Church went. I was scared of my Native American beliefs."&lt;br&gt;   
The 44-year-old now is at the forefront of a burgeoning movement to encourage aboriginal Catholics to meld their culture with their Catholicism. She recently served as chairwoman of a conference on the subject that brought together more than 1,000 Catholic Indians.&lt;br&gt; 
The annual conference is named after Kateri Tekakwitha, who in 1676 became one of the first American Indians to be baptized into the Catholic church and could become the first declared a saint.&lt;br&gt; 
"This conference lets them celebrate their &lt;big&gt;unique&lt;/big&gt; way of being Catholic," Berridge said.&lt;br&gt; 
&lt;center&gt;Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha&lt;/center&gt; &lt;br&gt;
Known as the Lily of the Mohawks, Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha is the first Native American woman and the first North American lay-woman considered for sainthood by the Roman Catholic Church. Doll stands approximately 18" tall. Head, hands and feet are made of a highly flexible urethane rubber that maintains a "skin like feel" and are attached to a soft poly-fil cloth body.

To simply say that Catholics have sinned is to sidestep the most important aspect of these sins. What remains important about the Inquisition (and the forceable conversions of native peoples in the New World) is the involvement of the church's authority with these sins.&lt;br&gt;

And thou shalt not make unto thee any GRAVEN IMAGE...&lt;br&gt;
No Priest OR Rabbi would have blasphemed before the Lord in such a way as to call even for the imaginary drinking of blood, or the eating of human flesh.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;img src="http://img25.photobucket.com/albums/v76/NixTwo/Nix%20Pix/1b.jpg"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
bow down to any graven image....&lt;br&gt;

St. Francis...ANY Graven Image!&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;

 As the Saints go marching on, every moral code, (The Ten Commandments, for instance,) the Old Testament has taught has been deliberately changed so that YOU live in sin every day. Though I do not believe in a Creator who would turn from you for not knowing, it might well be that He will turn from you because you did not search for the truth because you COULD have known.&lt;br&gt;
Crucifixion of the &lt;b&gt;Jew&lt;/b&gt; never made the &lt;b&gt;JEW&lt;/b&gt; a Christian...and John the Baptist would not have become a non-Jew--- even for a king. He was &lt;b&gt;Nazarite&lt;/b&gt; of the House of Aaron, not a Nazarene from Nazareth who was, by Rome's own words, a Bethlehemite, having been born, as Rome claimed, in Bethlehem.&lt;br&gt; The convolutions that the writers of this tome had to navigate to trace a bloodline back to King David is virtually insane, and cannot be concorded using Joseph, though they surely did try it both ways. If, as later added, Mary was indeed a virgin, they could not have used Joseph at any point.&lt;br&gt;The real scriptural proof of a miracle birth is to be found ONLY in the Old Testament. It is the documentation of the birth of Isaac to Abraham and Sarah, though Sarah, chosen of G-d to be the Mother of Nations, is given very short shrift in every single Christian Bible I have ever read.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://img25.photobucket.com/albums/v76/NixTwo/Nix%20Pix/arafat_n_pope.jpg"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Old Pope&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v76/NixTwo/PopeChoice.jpg"&gt;&lt;br&gt;New Pope&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Nothing has ever changed. The killing of Jews goes on with Rome's blessing as it has since the days of the Jewish Holocaust begun in Israel by the Roman Empire.
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p&gt;
