The sacred books of Judaism consist of the Bible, Talmud and Midrash
1.Bible
It contains stories of relationship with God. It is divided into three parts with a total of 24 books:
1.1. The Torah (which means “a teaching”)
It consist of 5 books of the Pentateuch given directly by God to Moses on Mt. Sinai; Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers & Deuteronomy.
They contain the principles of faith, the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule and laws of holiness. It is both the biography of Moses and the history of the beginning of the Jewish nation.
The Torah became established as Jewish law about the 5th Century B.C.
1.2. The Prophets
These are recordings of what God said to his prophets in 8 books, the first being a combination of 12 books: Combi(Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkum, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zachariah, Malachi), Joshua, Judges, Samuel(2 sections), Kings(2 sections), Jeramiah, Ezakiel & Isaiah.
1.3. The Writings
Consist of 11 books written by prophets with the the guidance of HaShem (God) : Psalms(David’s Zabur) Proverbs, Jobs, Song of Songs, Ruth, Lamentations, Daniel, Nehenuach & Chronicles
2.Talmud
It is a rabbinic works of a collection of 6 books containing information on traditions given by Moses verbally and not yet written during Christ’s time. Christ condemned the teachings of the earlier Jerusalem/Palestine Talmud. The Babylonian Talmud is widely used now. They are basically Books of Law and address the issue sof applying rules of the Torah to different circumstances.
It deals with agriculture, seasons, women, damages, holy things such as sacrifice, and purites i.e. ritual purities.
Notes:
With increasing suppressions by the Romans in Judea and fear of loss of oral traditions, both the writing of the Jerusalem/Palestine and Babylonian Talmud perhaps were started at the same time. However, due to the prevailing situation in Judea and when Constantine endorsed Christianity, it got worst, the Jerusalem/Palestine Talmud was hastily put together and was redacted in 350 B.C.much earlier than the Babylonian Talmud. It is difficult to understand and also it’s focus is more on the land of Israel.
The Babylonian Talmud had the benefit of more Jewish scholars and time. It was completed only in 550 A.D. When the Jews return to Jerusalem, the Babylonian Talmud became more popular and widely studied. However, it referred to Jesus’s teachings as heretical.
3.Midrash
It is a rabbical compilation of verse by verse interpretation of the scriptures consisting of biblical folklore (Midrash Haggadah) and ethical teaching (Midrash Halakah) and reflect the faith of the difficult times Jews have encountered.

THE 10 LOST TRIBES OF BANI ISRAEL
The Kingdom of Israel was once divided into two. The Northern Kingdom was for the House of Israel (10 tribes) while the Southern Kingdom was for the House of Judah (2 tribes -Judah and Benjamin). The tribe of Levi was not given any land. They were given the priesthood and allowed to live where ever they wanted. The tribe of Dan did not go to war against Canaan with the rest went. They settle north of the Northern Kingdom as pagans.
The lost tribes were the House of Israel. It is said that it was the House of Israel that was brought to Babylonia during the First Diaspora. They were not lost....they just changed name. Experts in the study of names and history could trace them scattered throughout Europe especially in Scandinavia, Holland, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, British Isles, North Afrika as well as India.

Bani Israel, Jews & Ashkenazi Jews
Initially, Bani Israel consisted of 14 tribes of the descendents of children of Jacob (Yaakup AS). Later on, Joseph (Yusuf AS) was excluded while his children Ephraim dan Manasseh became 1/2 tribe hence leaving only 12 tribes. They led a semitic life in the dessert areas between Sinai, present Jordan and the mountains of Syria before they infiltrated into Canaan and Palestine 3 times.
It is said that King Solomon fell away from God towards the later part of his life and after his death, his son reverted to idol worship and lost half the kingdom as the result of the rebellion of the 10 tribes . The kingdom split into the northern Kingdom of Israel and the smaller southern Kingdom of Judah. It is said that all the kings of the Kingdom of Israel were cruel and many of them met with violent death. The Kingdom was finally destroyed by the Assyrians in 722 BCE and the tribes were scattered.
Meanwhile, Judah tribe, the largest of them all, together with half of Benjamin who still preserved their religion became known as Jews (Yahudi). the They had a better record than the northern kingdom. Their kings of the line of David served God until a marriage with a member of the court of the northern kingdom broke David's line. All the kings henceforth were wicked and the kingdom was later swept off by the Babylonians in 566 BCE. Thousands of other Bani Israel were absorbed when they were brought to Babylonia during the First Diaspora. The diaspora lasted two generations.
It is said for the sake of survival they developed a unique type of social organization with only minor adaptation when necessary - they maintained their religion, separateness and communal brotherhood. After being released by King Cyrus, only a few returned to Jerusalem. Previously when they were in Jerusalem, most of them had been farmers. While in Babylon where land was waterlogged, they had learned to live as merchants.
Another report says that in fact, only the professionals, the wealthy and craftsmen were deported to Babylonia to begin life in exile. Ordinary people were allowed to stay back. Another group settled in Egypt.
Whatever the case may be, most of them had choosen to remain in Babylon after they were set free. Some went to other countries and henceforth the Second Diaspora.
The descendants of Jacoh's twin brother Esau-Edom were later called Edomite. While they were Hebrew , they were never Jews. Later they went into Spain and Portugal and settled there until they were evicted in 1492. These people were called Sephardic Jews. Israel later accepted them.
Noah's great-gfrandson, Ashkenaz, lived in Babylon. His descendants were later called Ashkenazi Jew. They were not Semitic nor Hebrew nor Bani Israel.
Then there were the Khazars who were a Turkic people who originated in Central Asia. The early Turkic tribes were quite diverse, although it is believed that reddish hair was predominant among them prior to the Mongol conquests. In the beginning, the Khazars believed in Tengri shamanism, spoke a Turkic language, and were nomadic. In the 7th century, they founded the independent Khaganate of Khazaria and later under King Bulan, adopted Judaism as the official religion. They called themselves Ashkenazi Jews. In the 10th century, the Russians broke their power and the Khazars disappeared westwards into Hungary, Romania and Poland mixing with other Jewish communities.
Today Ashkenazi Jews constitute 90% of today's Jews and almost 1/2 of them are in the US. Most of the descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh are now in England and the US.

New World Order - How Did It Begin?
I reckon "New World Order"(NWO) has become well known after the Gulf War. Even some of our politicians have been using the term "Oder Baru Dunia" but did anyone explain what it means??
The term was first used by Hitler many years ago. Then in 1940 the Duke of Winsor then Governor of Bahamas, said "..whatever happens.....a NWO is going to come into the world..." In 1968 it was used by Nelson Rockerfeller when he talked about working towards the creation of the NWO. These are a few of the early users of this term.
The question is ....so what, wouldn't a one world government ruled by a king with supernatural powers descended from a divine race (of the order of the illuminated) make this world one happy family?

Illuminati - How It Began .....
To my knowledge, the term "Illuminati" has been used by various groups such as the "Illuminated Ones" in the 11th century. A 15th century German "Illuminati" group claimed to have received illumination from Satan, believed to be the angel from heaven, Lucifer, said to be the bearer of light
There was another group in Afghanistan during the 16th century in search of illumination from the Supreme Being and in need of a class of perfect human beings. Upon attaining the 4th degree level, members would become the "Enlighten One" and would receive mystical abilities. When they attained the 8th degree level, they were told to have become perfect. All this was to foster influence among the elite for peace on Earth. At the same time they were warring the Mongols who were the power in India. This group existed until the 17th century. After that other groups or brotherhood began to mushroom.
I guess when Adam Weishaupt studied the writings on the brotherhoods and their practices, he had already adopted their doctrines and practices in his own brotherhood to stand up against religious suppression and also to change their religion to a religion "of reason".

Why World Domination?
I guess we need to revisit time in history which ultimately brings me back to what was found by the Templars in the Temple of Herod. Thus far I managed to put together the following facts:
1. It has been told the true descendants of Yehoshua have been maintained through the royal Merovingian bloodline which was later absorbed into the Europe's royalty. Tales about the mysterious Holy Grail are said to be really related to this bloodline originating from Mary Magdelina said to be Yehoshua's wife.
2. In 1948, the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in Qumran. They consist of writings on copper sheets amongst which are about the history of Yehoshua, quite unlike the official version we have become used to. In those days, the settlers of Qumran were the Essanes. They had escaped the Jewish Revolution in Jerusalem which had destroyed the city and it's temples. The Essenes were the original followers of Yehoshua, Nasoreans. The writings on the scrolls tell about the hidden treasures and other writings below the Temple of Herod.
It is believed that the Templars had obtained the original Christian document. As such, their practices were different from those of the official Catholuic and this did not meet the pleasure of the Church.
3. It is also said that a copy of "The Secret Destiny of America" and the "Book of Thoth" found in the ancient temple ruins of Egypt hidden and buried under a church built in 1715 together it's decoder, maps, instructions, gold and inventions ahead of time. It is believed these stuff were acquired by the Illuminati when they infiltrated into FM Lodges.
Why then the "Book of Troth" from Egypt? It is believed that the civilization of Egypt was initiated by the people of Sumer. Troth is believed to be the other name of Enoch , the Prophet Idris PUH. He had moved to Egypt. This book tells of the origin of the generation of giants, most of whom lived in the times before The Flood. Thay taught men various knowledge such as astrology,astronomy, medicine etc. They were called the Fallen Angels. In Sitchin's writings they were also known as Annunaki. I am also reminded of the narrative by my ustazregarding Haroot and Maroot who had been given Allah's permission to descend to Earth to teach magic/"sihir" to test the faith of men. Satan had used this opportunity to divide the human race and then put the blame on Solomon whom he purported to have used "sihir" too
Anyway, the Illuminati had acquired certain "knowledge" which was usually referred to as secrets often wrapped up in mysticism.

Hurricane RITA
I have no experience with hurricane conditions but the following email I received from a friend, a former classmate, living in Lafayette, Louisiana , USA helped me with some vivid insight as to what one could be ..............!
"Hi All,
We survived. Even though we were not in it's direct path, we were on the eastern sector of the hurricane, the "bad side", here winds are always the strongest.
Our winds picked up to 30-40 mph with gusts of 50 -70 mph around 3pm Friday and then the rains started. Rita was to have hit Texas but it ended up in southwest Louisiana, less than 100 miles west of Lafayette. It was really too late for us to leave, even if we had wanted to. We rode out Lily three years ago but that was a smaller hurricane even if it passed barely 20 miles west of us and it moved fast. Rita took its time.
By 8pm, things were whirling around. Felix went to bed at 10pm. I stayed up watching the tornadic cells popping up ever so often. By midnight, we were getting winds of 50-70mph with gusts close to 100mph. The roof sounded like it would take off and you could hear things hitting around. We lost TV signals around that time but never lost power. All around Lafayette, the radio stations were announcing power outage, downed trees etc. We were lucky we never lost power. The strong winds carried on for about 6 hours and when day broke, we looked out and there were tree limbs everywhere. We did not board up (a few houses in the subdivision did) because it was not supposed to be this strong, But Rita waggled more northwesterly when she made landfall and stalled!!!
Anyway, it is now 10.30am our time - rain is still very heavy and winds are around 20mph with gusts of 40-50 mph. We are expecting this type of weather for the next couple of days until Rita decided where she wants to go. She is still stalling in northwest Louisianan like an unwelcomed guest."
We are thankful that we here are free from such natural disaster.

The Beginning of The Masonic Movement
Modern masonic movement is believed to have been largely based on what the Knights Templars found in the ruins of the "Temple of Solomon". It is believed that they have brought it back and used it until the present day. What was it that they found that had caused the Catholic Church to outlaw them?
Pergerakan mason modern dipercayai ada banyak berdasarkan apa yang dijumpai knights templars di bekas'Temple of Solomon'. Dipercayai, mereka telah membawanya pulang dan menggunanya sehingga kehari ini. Apakah dia yang dijumpai itu sehingga pergerakkan itu telah diharamkan oleh pehak Gereja Katolik?
According to one story, Balkis, Queen of Sheba, had fallen in love with Hiram Abiff, the architect of the Temple of Solomon. This displeased Solomon.At that time Hiram Abiff was building the Temple. Three expert masons had asked for a promotion which was eventually rejected by Hiram. On day, Hiram was killed and buried. The three masons were accused of the murder and were subsequently punished.
Mengikut ceritanya, Queen of Sheba, Balkis, telah jatuh cinta dengan Hiram Abiff, arkitek Temple Solomon. Sudah tentu ini tidak di senangi Solomon. Juga semasa Hiram Abiff membina Temple itu ada 3 orang mason atau tukang batu yang bijak telah meminta dinaikkan pangkat. Permintaan ini telah ditolak oleh Hiram. Suatu hari, Hiram telah di bunuh dan ditanam dan tukang batu yang bertiga itu telah dituduh membunuh Hiram dan dihukum.
Another version says that the masons had asked Hiram Abiff of the "secret" of the temple building. The secret is said to be known only to Solomon, King Hiram of Tyre and Hiram Abiff himself who was also from Tyre. Hiram Abiff refused to impart the secret to the masons and for that he was killed.
Satu lagi cerita mengatakan tukang-tukang itu telah meminta "rahsia" pembenaan temple itu dari Hiram Abiff. Rahsia ini hanya diketahui oleh Solomon, Raja Hiram dari Tyre dan Hiram Abiff sendiri yang berasal dari Tyre. Oleh kerana Hiram Abiff tidak memberikan "rahsia" itu ia telah dibunuh oleh tukang-tukang itu.
With reference to my notations, the history of "brotherhood" began during the Sumerian era. It is related in the cunieform etchings discovered in Iraq and they have been translated by experts.
Mengikut catatan saya, sejarah pakatan setiakawan sebenarnya berputik dari zaman Sumer lagi. Cerita ini ada tertulis dalam tulisan cunieform atas batu-bata yang telah banyak dijumpai di Iraq dan diterjemahkan oleh pakar-pakar.
Brotherhood to the Sumerians are the "keepers of secret things". It is told that the Knights Templars found scrolls in 1118 below the Temple of Herod......Whatever they were, they have made one Knight Templar, Prince Henry Sinclair from Scotland to send an armada consisting of 13 ships to sail until they reach Nova Scotia in 1399, almost 100 years before the birth of Christopher Colombus.
Erti setiakawan "brotherhood" kepada orang-orang zaman Sumer dahulu adalah penyimpan rahsia. Mengikut ceritanya Knights Templers ada menemui "scrolls" pada 1118 di bawah Temple Herod pula, entahlah.....Walauapapun bendanya, ia telah menyebabkan seorang Knight Templar, Prince Henry Sinclair dari Scotland menggerakkan satu armada yg mengandungi 13 kapal berlayar hingga keNova Scotia pada 1399 hampir 100 tahun sebelum Christopher Colombus dilahirkan.
So, what the Knights Templars found must have been very important information - secret things??
Jadi, apa yang ditemui oleh Knights Templars itu pastinya informasi yang amat penting - perkara rahsia??
Haa! It was said, when Knights Templars were excommunicated in Europe by the Catholic Pope in 1398, many of them escaped to Scotland. Henry Sinclair, with his group set sail in search of a place/land which was marked as a star on a scroll. This star was named "la Merica". While in Jerusalem, he had also heard of land in the west.So do you ever wonder why that land is now called America??
Haa! Mengikut satu cerita ni, apabila Knights Templars diharamkan di Eropah oleh Pope Katholik pada 1398, ramai knights lari ke Scotland. Henry Sinclair dengan kumpulan berlayar mencari suatu tempat /tanah darat yang di tanda dengan bintang di atas "scroll". Bintang itu bernama "la Merica". Juga semasa di Jerusalem beliau ada mendengar cerita tentang negeri di barat. Adakah terfikir mengapa tanah itu sekarang dikenali sebagai Amerika??
athere are several versions on what was found in Jerusalem. In short, the Knights Templars were "Free men". They were not bound by the limits of Catholic philosophy
of the day. If you know how Roman Catholicism started, this story would be more meaningful and you would also understand why Freemason movement is highly secretive
Memang ada beberapa cerita tentang apa yang dijumpai di Jerusalem itu. Dipendekkan cerita, Knights Templars adalah "Free men" tidak terikat kepada garisan2 falsafah katholik pada zaman itu. Kalau kekawan faham bagaimana Roman Katolik bermula maka cerita ini akan menjadi lebih bermakna. Juga boleh difaham juga kenapa Freemason bergerak secara rahsia.

A Short Background To the Arab-Jew Conflict
Jews - responding to Hitler's systemic extermination of Jews of the west, there was a need to save themselves by creating a state in a land occupied by Arabs for centuries.
Arabs - were just emerging from western colonialism and rediscovering themselves their own national identities.
The two clashed and fought with deepest emotions, both believing in the will of God, morality, reason and law.
Farmers(agriculturists and artisans) have been encouraged by the Zionist movement, to settle in Palestine. Land was purchased by rich European Jews from the absent landlords (Turks not Arabs as the Ottomans were defeated only in 1918). By 1914 60,000 Russian & Polish Jews had arrived. All in, 100,000 acres of land had been purchased. There were 600,000 Palestinians living in Palestine. Zionist then pursuaded British to proclaim a national home for the Jewish. The British offered Uganda(now in Kenya). Though their leader, Herzl, was for it as a temporary measure, he died soon after at the age of 44 of a heart attack and pneumonia. The Zionists rejected the offer in 1904 as indeed they had other agenda.
British declared it's support for a jewish homeland in Palestine (Belfour Declaration) but was objected by native Palestinians more so with the increase in immigrants fleeing from the NAZI. By 1937, the Jewish population had increased to 400,000. The British were caught in between it's pledge to the Jews and Arab oil and strategic interest. Some ships had to be turned back e.g.Exodus where everyone were killed after returning to Germany. Many others arrived illegally thus fanning the Arabs' restiveness which erupted into bitter fighting in 1947. The UN's proposal on this issue was-partition- Jew get 55% of the land which were occupied by 58% Jews and Arabs get 45% of the land which had about 99% Arab occupation. Jerusalem to be held as trustee. Plan was not accepted by the Arabs.
US Position - Truman needed Jewish votes in 1948 election.
Russia's Position - Partitian was a way to rid British from Middle East, to play Arabs against Jews and keep US at arm's length.
So the fate of Zionism was in the hands of remote nations such as Liberia, Haiti,Phillippines and Ethiopia. Zionist persuaded US to pressure these nations. The resultant vote was 30:31 in favour of partition.
Violent clashes erupted.
Arab perception: To Preserve Palestine as a united independent state and therefore prevent the formation of of a Jewish state within Palestine.
Jewish perception:To avoid Arabs' menace, boundries should now NOT be limited to those assighed by UN. They could seize and hold by force of arms. The war will give them the right to what they want.
In April 1948, Jewish extremist massacred Deir Yassin, a small village near Jerusalem- this later became a stain on the conscience of the Jewish state. It elicit demands for revenge and retribution and it became the symbol of the homelessness of hundreds and thousands of Arab refugees. Mass exodus of terrified Arabs from Jewish controlled areas began.
May 14, before the end of British mandate in Middle East, the jews self proclaimed the State of Israel. Of course US and Russia recognised it soon after.
May 15, Egypt invaded from the South, Transjordan Arab Legion from the east and Syria and Lebanon from the north.
It is also necessary to note that the Jews construed that for imperialistic interests, however, in 1921 Great Britain reneged on the Belfour Declaration, lopped off 77 percent of the Land promised and set up the Arab Emirate of Transjordan. Then in 1922 the League of Nations gave Great Britain a Mandate to prepare the remaining 23 percent of Palestine for a Jewish National Home. But under French pressure, in 1923 the Golan Heights was ceded by the British to the French mandate of Syria.

Tik-Tok
"Songkang-sungkit" or Tik-tok is a traditional children's game in Malaysia.
Number of Players
The game requires a minimum of two(2) players.
Apparatus
Need two(2) pieces of sticks approximately 1cm - 2cm thick, one (1) 30cm long (long stick) and another 15cm (short stick)
As this game is usually played by children in the villages/kampongs, twigs are usually used.
Preparation of Play Area
The game is played in an open area or field. At the edge of the area, prepare a hole in the ground about 15cm long ...kind of "V" shaped such that when the short stick is placed across the hole, you can use the long stick to flick it away up front. The depth of the hole is to be such that when you place one end of the short stick with the other end above the ground, and when you hit the end above the ground with the long stick, it can raise up in the air.
Draw a line about 1/3m in front of the hole to demarcate between the playing and fielding side.
Begin The Game
Divide players into two teams. The team leader will compete who can push the small stick further, to decide on which team is to play first. The other team will then field first.
The Play
Team players will take turns to play the following movements until they are either "caught" or "out"
1st Movement: The short stick is places acrossed the hole and with the long stick, push it as far as possible.
2nd Movement : Stand at the line, holding up the short hit it with the long stick in the other hand as far as you can.
3rd Movement : Stand at the line, holding both sticks in the same hand, throw up the short stick and hit it with the long stick as far as you can.
4th Movement : Place one end of the short stick in the hole with the other end above the ground. With the long stick hit the end of the short stick above the ground so that it flicks up into the air and then hit it with the long stick as far as you can.
At each movement, fielders will try to catch the short stick. As such, player must direct the short stick away from the fielders. If it is caught, the player is "out"
If the short stick falls to the ground, the player is to place down the long stick on the hole while the fielder nearest the fallen short stick will make a throw of the short stick towards the long stick. If the short stick falls and touches the long stick, the player is "out". Otherwise the distant between the short stick and the hole is measured with the long stick. The measure is totalled up and becomes the score for the team.
When all players in the team is out, the two teams will trade places
The Winner
The team with the higher score wins.
Number of Players
The game requires a minimum of two(2) players.
Apparatus
Need two(2) pieces of sticks approximately 1cm - 2cm thick, one (1) 30cm long (long stick) and another 15cm (short stick)
As this game is usually played by children in the villages/kampongs, twigs are usually used.
Preparation of Play Area
The game is played in an open area or field. At the edge of the area, prepare a hole in the ground about 15cm long ...kind of "V" shaped such that when the short stick is placed across the hole, you can use the long stick to flick it away up front. The depth of the hole is to be such that when you place one end of the short stick with the other end above the ground, and when you hit the end above the ground with the long stick, it can raise up in the air.
Draw a line about 1/3m in front of the hole to demarcate between the playing and fielding side.
Begin The Game
Divide players into two teams. The team leader will compete who can push the small stick further, to decide on which team is to play first. The other team will then field first.
The Play
Team players will take turns to play the following movements until they are either "caught" or "out"
1st Movement: The short stick is places acrossed the hole and with the long stick, push it as far as possible.
2nd Movement : Stand at the line, holding up the short hit it with the long stick in the other hand as far as you can.
3rd Movement : Stand at the line, holding both sticks in the same hand, throw up the short stick and hit it with the long stick as far as you can.
4th Movement : Place one end of the short stick in the hole with the other end above the ground. With the long stick hit the end of the short stick above the ground so that it flicks up into the air and then hit it with the long stick as far as you can.
At each movement, fielders will try to catch the short stick. As such, player must direct the short stick away from the fielders. If it is caught, the player is "out"
If the short stick falls to the ground, the player is to place down the long stick on the hole while the fielder nearest the fallen short stick will make a throw of the short stick towards the long stick. If the short stick falls and touches the long stick, the player is "out". Otherwise the distant between the short stick and the hole is measured with the long stick. The measure is totalled up and becomes the score for the team.
When all players in the team is out, the two teams will trade places
The Winner
The team with the higher score wins.

Case Of The Evil Wind
At the end of the third millennium B.C. the great Sumerian civilization came to an abrupt end. Its sudden demise was bewailed in numerous lamentation texts that have been discovered by archeologists. The texts ascribed the calamity to an Evil Wind that came blowing from the west (from the direction of the Mediterranean Sea) -- a deathly cloud that caused excruciating death to all living beings, people and animals alike, that withered plants and poisoned the waters.
In The Wars of Gods and Men (third book of The Earth Chronicles series), Zecharia Sitchin saw an explanation of the sudden death in a long text known to scholars as The Erra Epos, that described a chain of events that ultimately led to the use of “Weapons of Terror” in a conflict between opposing clans of the Anunnaki ("Those who from Heaven to Earth came").
Based on the descriptions of the weapons in the Erra Epos and in the lamentation texts, Zecharia Sitchin concluded that the Weapons of Terror were nuclear weapons. Used to obliterate the spaceport that then existed in the Sinai Peninsula (and some “sinning cities” such as Sodom and Gomorrah), the nuclear cloud then was carried by the prevailing winds eastward, causing death and desolation in the Lands Between the Rivers (Mesopotamia) -- the empire of Sumer and Akkad.
Besides claiming that nuclear weapons were first used on Earth not in the 1940’s in Hiroshima but thousands of years earlier in the Near East, Zecharia also pinpointed the date: 2024 B.C.!
Scientific Corroboration Now Comes Along
That the civilization that sprang out in Sumer circa 3800 B.C. – reaching unparalleled heights under the last dynasty, the Third Dynasty of Ur (Abraham’s city) -- had come to an abrupt end near the end of the third millennium B.C. has been an accepted and well documented fact. That the end was abrupt, was also certain. What scholars deemed as still lacking was an explanation: How, what caused it?
Beginning in 1999, archaeologists and scholars specializing in the Near East saw mounting evidence that the demise of Sumer and Akkad (Sumer’s northern extension) coincided with an abrupt climate change. An initial study by Harvey Weiss and Timothy C. Wieskel of Harvard University was reinforced by a subsequent study (Geology, April 2000) by H.M. Cullen et al from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, the University of Utah, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and the Institute fÜr Geowissenschaften, Germany. Based on studies of unexplained aridity and wind-blown dust storms and radiocarbon datings, they reported that their readings indicated a date of 4025 years ago (plus or minus a margin of 125 years).
A precise date corroborated!
Those and similar climate-change studies, relating the climate conditions to the rise and fall of civilizations in the Old as well as the New Worlds, were summed up in a major study published in the prestigious journal Science in its 27 April 2001 issue. Authored by Peter B. deMenocal of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, the study paid particular attention to sedimentary remains of Tephra; the telltale rock fragments confirmed the date 4025 Years Before Present.
And 4025 years, before the present year A.D. 2001 -- is exactly 2024 B.C., as Zecharia Sitchin had determined in his 1985 book!
The Tephra Mystery
The reliance of this latest study on the Tephra evidence is doubly significant.
While the previous studies spoke of “wind blown dust,” this latest study focuses on a material called Tephra. And what is Tephra? It is defined in geology textbooks thus:
When a volcano erupts, it will sometimes eject material such as rock fragments into the atmosphere. This material is known as Tephra.
These burnt-through pieces of blackened gravel-like rock mostly fall near their volcanic source; but ashlike particles can be carried by prevailing winds over many miles and can stay aloft for more than a year.
The area in the Sinai Peninsula where the destroyed spaceport had been is indeed covered -- to this day! -- with gravelike burnt-through blackened stones (for photo evidence see illustrations 105, 106, & 107 in The Wars of Gods and Men). But as Zecharia has pointed out in his book; there are NO VOLCANOES in the Sinai Peninsula. In the Sinai Peninsula, the source of the wind-carried dust remains a mystery.
And the only explanation for these broken and blackened stones in the Sinai and the windblown desolation in Mesopotamia can be the tale of the Erra Epos, (reflected in the biblical tale of the upheaval of Sodom and Gomorrah): not an eruption by a non-existent volcano, but the use of nuclear weapons in 2024 B.C.

Asteroid Eros
Eros, potato-shaped and about 21 miles long, is one of countless bits and pieces of planetary matter that orbit the Sun between Mars and Jupiter, collectively called the Asteroid Belt. One theory is that these are remains from the time when primordial matter around the Sun coalesced into planets, but these bits and pieces failed to do so. Another theory is that these are remains of a planet that did form there, but that it somehow broke up; the inability to explain how or why it broke up has been the reason why this theory has not been embraced by scientists.
So, to learn more about the origin of the asteroids, NASA launched NEAR four years earlier on February 17, 1996 for the purpose of reaching and going into continuous orbit around the asteroid named Eros; this was successfully achieved on St. Valentine's Day, February 14, 2000.
And the first findings. reported at a news conference on Friday February 17th, 2000 corroborated an ancient cosmogony pieced together by Sitchin.
“Eros has an ancient, heavily cratered surface," reported Dr. Andrew Cheng, chief project scientist. "There are also tantalizing hints that it has a layered structure, as if it were made up of layers, like plywood."
"Such stratified features", Dr. Cheng explained, "could occur if the asteroid was melted while it was part of a planet "(quoted by Associated Press Science News, 2/18/00)

The Sumerian Flood
The return of Nibiru to Earth's proximity was expected by the Anunnakis as severe climatic changes began to happen. As they plan their evacuation, the information leaked out to one Utnapishtim son of Ubar-Tutu by one of the leaders called Enki. According to Sumerian texts, Enki also instructed Utnapishtim to build an ark including the use of readily available bitumen as water proofing. He also instructed Utnapishtim to take the "seed" of every living things......
The texts made it clear that the floods was not the result of heavy rains. It was described as darkness, followed by colossal winds of increasing intensity destroying buildings and ditches such that it was equivalent to the passage of a large planetary body. One theory of the flood was that the gravitational forces caused by the passsing Nibiru had caused the Antarctic ice sheet which was already unstable due to the end of the last ice age. Till today most of original Anunnaki cities in Mesopotamia are still under water near the mouth of the rivers Tigris and Euphrates.
The Sumerian version had it that it all went calm after six days and nights. History has it that there was sudden absence of a large human population about 10,000 years ago . The Anunnakis returned. Together with the surviving humans they went on to rebuild................
There were three critical phases in human development:
About 11,00BC it was farming, 7,500BC it was prehistoric culture and 3,600BC it was civilization.The period of 3,600 years was equivalent to Nibiru's orbit.

The Case of The Prophet Idris
Islamic traditions has it that Idris or Enoch of the Bible, studied astronomy, physics, arithmetic and was first to use a pen.
He was said to be a 5th generation of Adam and the grandfather of Nuh(Noah) and lived around 3284-3017BC which was indeed during the times of civilization.
Commentators have argued about Idris being Enoch. However, if they were indeed the same, please read on.....
Mediaeval Masonry had it that Enoch inscribed the Heavenly Wisdom. The knowledge was given to him by Fallen Angels. However, from another source, Enoch was visited by two exceedingly big men, angels Sanuil and Raguil, whose shining faces were like the sun with bright wings and white hands. They took Enoch up to heaven for 60 days where he saw many things in the various levels of heaven. They seated before God, he was asked to write 360-366(?) books which were to be handed to his sons .
Then in 1948, copies of Book of Enoch(in Aramic) were discovered in the Dead Sea Scrolls. It tells of "wicked angles who abducted and mated with human women hence producing a hybrid race known as Nephilim". They(wicked angles) had taught mankind to make arms (to fight), astrology, medicine, viewing of stars etc... Some of the knowledge were to lead mankind to destroy themselves.
It is noted that the pre Nuh(Noah ) humans had long lifespan e.g. Adam, Seth, Enosh, Kenan, Enoch and Methuselah. Sumerian texts place humans to be about 450,000 years ago. However, if the Biblical years are adjusted by multiplying the ages by 100 we get 165,000 years which would bring us to the time of the Flood!
(Will cerita about the Flood later).
The question then is who was Adam, the first human?
A Mesopotamian colony was called E.DIN. Could it be the biblical Eden? To cut a long story short, the Sumerian account has it that genetic manipulation by the Anunnaki had produced many mutated creatures like lions with human heads, wingged animals, humanoids with head and feet of goats etc which might have been the basis of mythical creatures which we have come to know.
Creation of the first man was LU.LU or Adama in Hebrew which means "man on Earth" . Unfortunately, Sumerian texts on details of how this was done had been lost. But then we have now heard of cloning!

Have You Ever Wondered
Have you ever wondered why when a person enters a room and switches on the light or fan, he forgets to switch them off before he leaves the room. On occasions, he says he intends to return to the room again later which may be say 2 or 3 hours later!
In my opinion is this person is not a finisher. He rarely gets the job done. This dude has an attitude.
Have you ever wondered why when a person says "Yes" out loud to a certain "job" to be done, it doesn't get done days on ends, come weeks come months. Any amount of reminder does not get him to even start. "It's all in my head" he says. What follows are every possible excuse to have not get started.
In my opinion this person has a problem on how to handle the "job" but does not want to admit it to save face.
Have you ever wondered, the louder a person sounds or stronger a person looks, almost ready to do battle, he is really hiding his little self behind his so called "fortress"

THE "12TH" PLANET

The world's deepest secret leads back to the first known civilization, to Sumer in Mesopotamia. It was situated between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. In biblical time it was known as Chaldea. Today it is Iraq.
Sumerian culture seemed to appear from nowhere more than 6,000 years ago and strangely vanished after 2,000 years. Only around 1843 did archeologists dIg out strange mounds dotting the countryside of southern Iraq. There were buried cities, broken palaces, artifacts and thousands of clay tablets detailing every part of Sumerian life. One discovery was that of Sargon II's palace. The tablets were etched in cuneiform and as translation of the the tablets were made it revealed how much we owe our geometry, modern time-keeping (base-60 mathematical system) and modern zodiac to Sumerian origin or creation. They also charted out the Earth's 12 months orbit of the Sun and the great processional cycle now known as the Plutonian Year which takes 25,920 years to complete.
Scientists questionned how could a civilization of 2,000 years possibly had observed and recorded celestial cycle that took 25,920 years to complete.
From translation of the tablets, inscribed seals etc. the answer was simply - everything they achieved came from their gods whom they called Anunnaki which means "those who came to Earth from heaven". Accordingly, they could also soar heavenwards at will. (Ref: Zecharia Sitchin) Sitchin is a researcher of ancient civilization and biblical archaeologist. He is Russian and is educated in Palestine and London. Sitchin's explanation was never given credibility then. However, based on his translation, many authors now have more detailed understanding of the Anunnakis. (Ref: Code of Hammurabbi unearthed in 1902).
When the Semites entered Mesopotamia, The Sumerians were long gone. It is said that when the Semites adopted cuneiform system, they also borrowed many Sumerian stories but changed the "mythological" accounts to fit their own religious system. The most famous stories are the Creation Story and the Epic of Gilgamesh (A Great Flood). Gilgamesh was a powerful Sumerian king. If we take the Sumerian Creation Story at face value, it goes like this:
About 4 billion years ago, planet Nibiru, entered our system just missing a larger planet Tiamat, which cracked due to gravitational stresses. Nibiru was depicted as the 12th planet of our solar system and was about 3 times the size of Earth. US scientists have been theorizing the existence of a 10th planet beyond Pluto based on sightings and studies of irregularities in the orbit of Pluto indicating an additional solar body. Amazingly, the Sumerians counted the Sun and Moon as planets. More amazingly, at the time they were just developing their writing, they had accurately described and diagramed the planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto when these planets cannot be seen without the aid of a telescope. Uranus became known to modern man only in 1781, Pluto in 1930 and Neptune in 1946.

At a subsequent pass by Nibiru, Tiamat was struck and then bombarded by Nibiru's moon. Fragments of Tiamat that remained in it's original orbit became the asteroid belt. The other half of Tiamat was knocked into a new orbit nearer to the Sun. Over time it coalesced into Earth accompanied by one of Nibiru's moon (Kingu) and became our moon.
This somewhat explains why Earth is missing much of it's crust in the Pacific Ocean, the origin of the asteroid belt and the comets. The collission of the two planets caused many tons of seawater to be thrown into space. Sumerians called this "mingling of waters" and along with dirt and debries they became erratic flying balls of "dirty" ice.

The concept was strengthen by the discovery of meteorites in Antarctica containing same gases known to make up atmosphere of Mars as well as the discovery by NASA in 1996 of what looked like remains of micro organisms in a Martian meteorite thought to be 4 Billion years old!
Nibiru crossed the solar system between Mars and Jupiter and followed an elliptical orbit and was often symbolised as a "winged disc". While life on Earth is based on 1 year orbit around the Sun, on Nibiru an orbit round the Sun is equivalent to 3,600 years to Earthlings.
During Earth's 2nd Ice Age, 450,000 years ago, the people of Nibiru - the Anunnaki of Sumerian texts, landed on Earth when Earth and Nibiru were at proximity. Initial landings were on water as the US astronauts fist did. They found Mesopotamia as most suitable for a base camp compared to the Indus and Nile valleys for the easy access to fossil fuel. So began a systemic colonization of Earth. Their leaders assumed the role of "gods" or Nefilim which the Old Testament translated as "giants". The original meaning is "Those Who Were Cast Down". The Holman Bible Dictionary defines it (Nephilim) as "ancient heroes who are products of sexual union of heavenly beings and human women".
The marshes were drained. irrigation system were built and canals were built to link the Tigris and Euphrates, something the Sumerians became well known for.
A thousand years of earthtime was only a few years to the Anunnakis............

How To Take Care Of Your Liver

The main causes of liver damage are:
1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are the main causes.
2. Not urinating in the morning.
3. Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.
We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to "schedule."
Because:
Evening at 9 - 11pm : is the time for eliminating unnecessary/toxic chemicals (de-toxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes).This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on health.
Evening at 11pm - 1am : is the de-toxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.
Early morning 1 - 3am : de-toxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.
Early morning 3 - 5am : de-toxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the de-toxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.
Morning 5 - 7am : de-toxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.
Morning 7 - 9am : absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30am, for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 - 10am rather than no meal at all.
Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late.
Well, I hope the above is of help to all.

Sinead O'Connor

Yeah, this lady is quite a character too! A little tale here........
She broke into the Irish pop scene at 21 years of age in 1988 with "Nothing Compares" as her best hit. She always kept her hair shaven but I have seen pictures of her with very short hair too..........much like Mawi AF's . She is most distinctive and controversial pop star of the 90s. An outspoken lady who speaks her mind. During a concert while singing "War" she cried out " Fight the real enemy!" and then ripped up a pix of the Pope. The audience was stunned and the NBC went to commercial. (The latter was eventually fined $2.5mil). She had actually changed a line in the song from denoting racial abuse to sexual abuse. The "act" was symbolic of the tearing of the church's secret shut up for decades.
Once she refused to sing at a concert if the US anthem were played. I never got any details as to why, but it made Frank Sinatra real mad and wanted to "kick her _ss". She also received a death threat from a pro-Israeli group while in Jerusalem. So she withdrew from performing at the so called peace festival there. She was ordained as a priest by an Irish Bishop who was from a splinter Catholic group. Of course the Vatican refused to recognise it. She retired from the music industry in 2003 to teach Catholicism to children. However, she returned in 2005 to perform but is now focusing on genres like gospel, chants and roots. She prefers to be known as Mother Bernadette Mary. So I think she may still keep her hair short or even shaven!

The Albigensian Crusade
The Cathars (Pure Ones) lived in S France. They were believed to be the forefathers of Italian and Scottish Carbonari. They were followers of Gnostics and were more committed to matters of spirit than material wealth and therefore considered their beliefs more "pure" than the Catholic Church. They refused to acknowledge the Pope's authority, were nonconformist and didn't see the need for appointed priest and richly adorned churches. All this posed a challenge to the Catholic Church who considered them heretics(12th century).
Legends abound that Mary Magdalene was Jesus' wife and that she and her offsprings found refuge in S France preserving the lineage through the Merovingian dynasty. Early Church was fearful of these descendants and hence Mary became negatively described in their books. Women were prohibited from teaching or becoming priests.(Studies have been made into private records of many European families to confirm the Merovingians relationship). Some people in S France associated with this legend, found the Crusades a convenient excuse to take the Holy Land and search for verifications of certain traditions which were counter to the church teachings and circulating in S France. In the Holy Land they stayed in the ruins of Solomon's Temple and apparently found the evidence they were looking for. Over time, they became known as heretics and blesphemers as an attempt to exterminate them. They were the Knights Templars and it is said that their traditions still live on today.
Back to the Cathars, after being proclaimed heretics by Philip ii at the insistence of Innocent iii, they were hunted down and exterminated ,almost completely. This became known as the Albigensian Crusade. The Cathars retreated to the foothills of the Pyrenees. Later Papal army besieged them at Montsegur, a fortress, for more than 10 months before they surrendered and gave themselves up to be burned. Their "treasure" though was said to have been carried out in the night before the surrender (1244). Survivors fled to neighboring countries like Italy. Those remaining became isolated and poor due to the methodical persuit of the church, the Inquisition.
Meanwhile, the Templars had became very rich and powerful much to the envy of King Philip iv and fear of Pope Clement v. So he crushed them (1307).
Legends abound that Mary Magdalene was Jesus' wife and that she and her offsprings found refuge in S France preserving the lineage through the Merovingian dynasty. Early Church was fearful of these descendants and hence Mary became negatively described in their books. Women were prohibited from teaching or becoming priests.(Studies have been made into private records of many European families to confirm the Merovingians relationship). Some people in S France associated with this legend, found the Crusades a convenient excuse to take the Holy Land and search for verifications of certain traditions which were counter to the church teachings and circulating in S France. In the Holy Land they stayed in the ruins of Solomon's Temple and apparently found the evidence they were looking for. Over time, they became known as heretics and blesphemers as an attempt to exterminate them. They were the Knights Templars and it is said that their traditions still live on today.
Back to the Cathars, after being proclaimed heretics by Philip ii at the insistence of Innocent iii, they were hunted down and exterminated ,almost completely. This became known as the Albigensian Crusade. The Cathars retreated to the foothills of the Pyrenees. Later Papal army besieged them at Montsegur, a fortress, for more than 10 months before they surrendered and gave themselves up to be burned. Their "treasure" though was said to have been carried out in the night before the surrender (1244). Survivors fled to neighboring countries like Italy.
