Is our History a Lie....

" who controls the past, controls the future.

who controls the present, controls the past.".

george orwell, 1984.

The Jesus Story. . . A Cruel Hoax on Humanity There is political power in religion. And because the vast majority of the people in this world are caught up in one religious belief system or another, colossal fences have been erected. These fences between religious groups have been a tool for spiritual warfare that frequently erupts here on this planet. For example, the Jews and Moslems battle in the Middle East; not because of territory or racial differences, which don't exist; but because of different belief systems. The same can be said for the Catholic Irish and Protestant Irish. Or the Catholic, Protestant and Moslem Bosnians. The "believers" of all faiths tend to attack anyone who dares to claim that the god they bow down to is wrong, or that the way they have chosen for worship is in error. It is even worse when this so-called external god is declared a figment of the mind and nothing more. Fortunately, there has always been a silent thread of Gnostics in existence, ever since this ancient (non-organized) group of knowing people were driven into the shadows by bloody, angelic-driven organized religious zealots. The record of Gnosticism is clearly marked in blood. The great witch hunts that swept New England and Europe were an attack on these gentle people who always understood the reality of world beyond the veil. There also was the mass execution, enslavement and forced reformation of the American Indian. Remember too the ravaging and murder of the Aztecs in Mexico. It was all done in the name of the church, which declared all people who failed to accept Jesus as a personal savior to be "heathen" and therefore "of the Devil." Christianity, like the Moslem, Hindu, and Buddhist faith, all involve angelic (alien) fabrications of so-called gods who were said to have taken the form of man and visited Earth to enlighten the masses. The great religions that sprang from the roots of these movements succeeded in enslaving the human race for thousands of years. Christianity, the most recent of the cults that developed 2000 years ago, is perhaps the easiest example of a fabricated religious system to use to describe what I am talking about. Whether a man named Jesus really walked this planet at that time is no longer an issue. If he existed, he was, at best, a magickian and psychic who utilized the right hemisphere of his brain. We can be assured that Jesus was not born of a virgin, that he never walked on water, raised the dead, or arose from his own grave once he was personally dead. Christianity did not start with Christ. It seemed to have its origins with Paul, a man who never personally knew Jesus. Instead, Paul had an encounter with an alien that fooled him into thinking he was seeing Jesus. After this, Paul was possessed. He was driven by alien/angelic forces into establishing a new religious system that became known as Christianity. If you think I am making this up, consider the fabrication that went on in writing the Jesus story. There is, for example, strong evidence that the four Gospels were not written by the so-called apostles who studied under Jesus. All four books were written an estimated 100 to 175 years after Jesus was supposed to have been killed. Paul, who wrote his letters before the Gospels were penned, fails to mention the wonderful sermons, the magic, the virgin birth, or any of the other things that argue the deity of Jesus. Yet if Paul was a contemporary of Jesus, and really met the resurrected Christ on the road to Damascus, these stories should have been an important part of his ministry. One might argue that religious zealots devoted hours working out the Jesus story, carefully building from the first book, which was the short version called the Gospel of Mark. Each gospel writer after this appears to have expanded on the Mark account until we get to the Gospel of John, which openly declares the deity of Jesus. The Jesus story, however, was not original. The entire story was plagiarized in bits and pieces, and sometimes blatantly intact, from ancient god/man mythology passed down by Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Persian cultures.

For example the Persian sun-god Mithra, a story dating back to about 1400 BC, talks about a hero born of a virgin in a stable on the winter solstice. He was attended by shepherds who brought gifts. He was said to have taken a last supper with his followers before returning to his father, the god of all. Mithra was believed not to have died, but ascended directly to heaven. Followers believed he would return at the end of time to raise the dead in a physical resurrection, for a final judgment. At that time, the world would be destroyed by fire. And yes, followers of Mithra were granted immortal life following baptism. A book titled The Origins of Christianity and the Quest for the Historical Jesus Christ by an author who identifies herself only as Acharya S, notes many other amazing similarities between Christianity and pre-Christian mythology. Acharya states that Buddha also was born of a virgin, he had 12 disciples, he performed miracles, healed the sick, walked on water and fed 500 men from a small basket of cakes. The Buddha was transfigured on a mount, was crucified in a sin-atonement, suffered three days in hell and was resurrected. After this he ascended to heaven, or Nirvana. Writings refer to Buddha as the "Good Shepherd," the "carpenter" and "Savior of the World." The Egyptian god figure Horus was said to have been born of the virgin Isis on December 25. He was born in a cave, his birth was announced by a star in the East, and he was attended by three wise men. He was a child teacher in the temple. He was baptized by Anup the Baptizer (John the Baptist?), he had 12 disciples, he performed miracles, walked on water, and raised a man named El-Azar-us from the dead. Horus also was transfigured on a mount, was crucified, buried in a tomb and resurrected. He was called a "fisher," and was associated with the Lamb, Lion and Fish. In India, the god/man Krishna was born of a virgin, his father was a carpenter, his birth was attended by angels, wise men and shepherds, and they brought presents of gold, frankincense and myrrh. There was a ruler who attempted to destroy the infant by ordering the slaughter of thousands of babies. Krishna worked miracles and wonders, raised the dead, healed lepers, the deaf and the blind. He used parables to teach people about charity and love. He was transfigured in front of his disciples. Some stories say Krishna died on a tree or was crucified between two thieves. He rose from the dead and ascended to heaven. It is said that Constantine, who advanced the cause of Christianity by making it the official religion throughout Europe, originally followed the Mithraic cult before his conversion. The Vatican is filled with relics linking not only these two figures, but others as well. In her book Acharya states that stored in the catacombs of the Vatican are pictures of the baby Horus being held by the virgin mother Isis - the original "Madonna and Child." She writes: "the Vatican itself is built upon the papacy of Mithra who shares many qualities with Jesus and who existed as a deity long before the Jesus character was formalized. The Christian hierarchy is nearly identical to the Mithraic version it replaced. Virtually all of the elements of the Catholic ritual, from miter to wafer to water to altar to doxology, are directly taken from earlier pagan mystery religions. Paganism goes even deeper than this in the Roman Catholic Church. If you carefully examine photographs of the garb worn by the Pope, and the many decorations (mostly of gold) adorning the rooms and hallways of the Vatican, you will see many symbols of sun worship. This is because the sun god has always been a deeply engrained part of the Christian religion. Again, thanks to the detailed research by writer Acharya S, we can see that everything about the Jesus/Buddha/Horus/Mithra/Krishna story(s) is linked to the Gnostic practice of solar deity worship. "The reason why all these narratives are so similar, with a godman who is crucified and resurrected, who does miracles and has 12 disciples, is that these stories were based on the movements of the sun through the heavens, an astrotheological development that can be found throughout the planet because the sun and the 12 zodiac signs can be observed around the globe. In other words, Jesus Christ and all the others upon whom this character is predicated are personifications of the sun, and the Gospel fable is merely a rehash of a mythological formula (the "Mythos," as mentioned above) revolving around the movements of the sun through the heavens," Acharya writes. For example, the births all occur at the time of the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. After stopping there for three days, the ancients believe the sun then starts to move northward again. It was like a death and resurrection. Here are some other thoughts from Acharya's book for you to ponder. "The sun's "followers," "helpers" or "disciples" are the 12 months and the 12 signs of the zodiac or constellations, through which the sun must pass. The sun at 12 noon is in the house or temple of the "Most High"; thus, "he" begins "his Father's work" at "age" 12. The sun enters into each sign of the zodiac at 30°; hence, the "Sun of God" begins his ministry at "age" 30. The sun is hung on a cross or "crucified," which represents its passing through the equinoxes, the vernal equinox being Easter, at which time it is then resurrected." If the lives of all of these god figures were so similar, why you might ask, haven't people figured out that they have been hoodwinked? The aliens who control these religious systems are not stupid. Why do you think all of the world religious groups have hated, and been at war with one another for thousands of years? The false hatreds, distrust and wars were generated so we never figured it out.

If The Bush Administration Lied About WMD, So Did These People

by George W Bush in

since we haven't found wmd in iraq yet, a lot of the anti-war/anti-bush crowd is claiming that the bush administration lied about iraq's weapons of mass destruction.

the story being floated now is that saddam had no wmd (or almost none) and that the bush administration didn't tell the truth about the wmd threat.

well, if they're going to claim that the bush administration lied, then there sure are a lot of other people, including quite a few prominent democrats, who have told the same lies since the inspectors pulled out of iraq in 1998. here are just a few examples of what i'm talking about... .

The Insiders Are Coming Out By William Rivers Pitt
t r u t h o u t | Perspective

Tuesday 08 July 2003

For many, many months now, we have endured what is known in the common political lexicon as an 'Imperial Presidency.' The term denotes an administration that keeps its secrets, says nothing to the press worth reporting, lies with impunity beneath the veil of those secrets, and threatens retaliation against anyone who might stand in the way. When done properly, an Imperial Presidency becomes a powerful, unstoppable force. When an Imperial Presidency is guarded in Congress by political allies who hold the majority, it becomes almost completely unassailable.

Think about it. When was the last time we got a straight answer out of the Bush administration? When was the last time anyone with real power demanded answers from the folks in the White House? In the vacuum, we wind up getting answers like the one Don Rumsfeld delivered on February 12, 2002 when faced with pointed press questions about terrorism:

"As we know, there are known knowns. There are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know."

These boys could give lessons to Orwell. Without anyone in Congress slinging subpoenas, and with a press cowed by the threat of removal from the White House beat, there is no way to take an Imperial Presidency to task for its actions when deliberate gibberish is the rule of the news day.

There is no way.unless the White House insiders come out and start talking. Suddenly, that is exactly what is happening.

On June 26, I conducted an interview with 27-year CIA veteran Ray McGovern. McGovern served every President from Kennedy to Bush Sr., and delivered a wide spectrum of insight and data regarding both the September 11 attack and the second Iraq war. One key question McGovern answered dealt with the rapidly expanding scandal surrounding Bush administration tampering with evidence of Iraqi weapons.

The story has been taking a slow boil for months now, ever since the end of the war. The justification for attacking Iraq, as presented by the administration, was that Saddam Hussein had thousands of tons of deadly weapons practically falling out of his ears. Day after day came the dire reports from Bush, from Cheney, from Rumsfeld, from Rice, from Powell before the UN, from dozens of hired administration guns who saturated the airwaves with stories of looming doom in the shadow of September 11.

The weapons never showed up. Stories began to swirl about Vice President Cheney taking unprecedented trips to CIA headquarters for the purpose of leaning on the intelligence analysts so he would get the damning Iraq weapons reports the administration needed to justify combat. Stories began to swirl about obviously forged evidence of an Iraqi nuclear program that was deliberately used by Bush to justify war, despite the fact that everyone in the White House knew the evidence had been crudely faked. To counteract these stories, the Imperial Presidency laid blame for all of this on the CIA.

When I questioned McGovern on the impact these developments were having on the American intelligence community, McGovern made a prescient prediction:

"To the degree that esprit de corps exists, and I know it does among the folks we talk to, there is great, great turmoil there. In the coming weeks, we're going to be seeing folks coming out and coming forth with what they know, and it is going to be very embarrassing for the Bush administration."

The conservative party in Britain, and especially their leader Ian Duncan-Smith, supported the Government in their action against Iraq, based on the 'evidence' that the Labour government presented to the house of commons.

But since this 'evidence' has been proved false Duncan-Smith has been highly critical of the governments 'evidence' and accused Tony Blair of lying.

The fact that Democrats and Conservatives supported the governments of their country in a time of war is not unusual, they surely weren't expecting the dossiers to be fabricated and were continuing the policy of supporting the government in times of war.

Yes many Democrats lied, but when you look at governments and opposition parties, they are all governed by the same agenda's and always say what they think will further their career in the long run.

Don't forget, also, anone who was critical of the Bush governments stance on Iraq was labelled Anti-American and a career oriented politician isn't going to ruin his/her career going against something publically when they know it's going to happen anyway.

What happened to the Senater who criticised the Bush administrations stance on Iraq before the war? He was killed in yet another un-explained plane crash...good career move.

	Chips with everything
	Technology
	Published: 27-Jul-2003 By: David Rowan
	Microchip trackers, no bigger than a grain of sand, are set to become the latest weapon in the battle of the high street.
	The so-called Smart Tags can be fitted into virtually everything we buy, and send out a radio signal picked up by internet-linked computers. The technology could already be on its way to a supermarket near you. But there are fears that the retailers' dream is a Big Brother nightmare. At Prada's showcase New York store, you have to steel yourself to look at the prices. But the price tags here are smarter than you'd think: they send out signals that are picked up all over the store, leaving a snapshot as individual items are detected, and, in the changing rooms, triggering video images of whatever you're trying on. This is the place to go if you do need that $3,000 dress. But unlike most stores, almost everything in this one has a chip attached. The chips are the size of a grain of sand - but it they're not switched off after you've left the store, you leave a trail wherever you go. This trail can be picked up by anyone with the right scanner, which can identify an item by its unique signal. Companies from Coca Cola to Marks & Spencer are introducing these tiny chips. Tiny trackers Prada removes them at the cash-desk, but firms such as Benetton have discussed embedding them with their antennae inside the clothes themselves. So somewhere, a database could be tracking your progress. At MIT in Boston, the Auto-ID Centre is building the global information network that will put this technology - known as radio frequency identification, or RFID - into everything. The Centre's sponsors - from Walmart and Unilever to government departments - see huge commercial benefits in tracking products in real time through a vast computer network. The man who speaks for these corporations aims for nothing less than to change the world. Kevin Ashton told us: “One day, and not this decade, it's not impossible that everything in the global supply chain, almost every manufactured object, could contain a tiny wireless computer. “So the computers that we use to manage this supply chain will know where everything is, all the time.” Internet of things He's calling it the 'internet of things' - with scanners everywhere linked to databases following trillions of items. As these smart tags get cheaper and more universal - and Gillette's just ordered half a billion of them - the MIT visionaries say we'll all benefit if firms know when and where goods are needed. Ashton adds: “We'll see lower prices, fresher food, it will be easier to buy the things we want to buy, and maybe, 15 years hence, we won't need to stand in line at the checkout. The question is whether consumers are ready for their personal items to be monitored, and that data logged over the internet. When Benetton said in March that it would put the tags in sweaters, a boycott put its plans on hold. Privacy campaigners say RFID lays you open to permanent surveillance. Big Brother? Katherine Albrecht said: This technology has the potential to track people from the time they get up in the morning to the time they go to bed. Reader devices have been fabricated into floor tiles, carpeting, doorways. They're very easily hidden. As you enter a doorway, you will be emanating an electronic cloud. Everything from your earrings to what's in your briefcase would be sending out information that would be picked up by the doorway. The Auto-ID Centre's own confidential research, obtained by Channel 4 News, suggests that 78 per cent of consumers oppose these smart tags. So behind closed doors, it's fighting back. We've learned that its PR agency urged a "proactive approach on privacy" - "neutralising opposition" by creating a new advisory body of "credible experts and potentially adversarial advocates". Minority Report It's a futuristic vision straight out of the film Minority Report. Already your personal information is being stored each time you make a phone-call or credit-card purchase. Computers can then cross-reference hundreds of databases to predict your behaviour. But these chips are a marketing man's dream - one that's fast becoming reality. Judd Ferrer, of location-based marketing firm, Insitu, said: “What this chip can offer to the marketing world is the ability to track consumer behaviour from the store to the home, and if they've got the ability to put RFID into appliances, the ability to understand what's going on at the home and then taking it back to the store. Imagine what this could one day mean: Talking adverts in Times Square…. Budweiser – “Hi David - feeling thirsty today?” Swatch Wink – “Oh, David...” Cup Noodle – “Mmm, chicken flavour, David, your favourite...” Moving Strap – “Don't forget your wife's birthday... “ Samsung – “Catch this special offer, David...” When all this information the scanners have picked up about you is out there on the internet, who knows how it will be used - not just to sell you things, but to know where you've been, and what you've been doing. At Tesco, the future has already arrived. It's taking part in government-funded trials that use RFID tags in Gillette razors and DVDs to track them through the store. Automatic re-ordering Readers built into the shelves monitor each item - so if it's sold, the computer automatically orders another. And if one leaves the store unpaid for, the system can trigger security cameras. There are no warnings that these DVDs have tags attached. Greg Sage, Tesco spokesman, says: “The tag itself is tiny so you wouldn't see it, but when customers come to ask our staff, they can see the benefits immediately, because it's much quicker for them and it means they can get on with their shopping with the minimum of hassle. From next week, this store will be scanning the tags at the checkout too. If a DVD's unique number could be matched to, say, my loyalty card, who knows what it could reveal about me? And it doesn't end there. Tesco doesn't disable its tags when you leave the store - so scanners can pick up their electronic trail, as we found out when we visited a firm which programmes this technology. Single identifying number Forty miles away, our DVD of The Matrix bought in Tesco was still signalling its tag's unique number. At MIT, they're advising corporations to keep all this data anonymous, and to give you the chance to have tags 'killed' at the checkout. Because once the trail's out there, the police, and maybe your boss, could access it to know where you are at any time. And what if hackers accessed your records too? Today, the system's unregulated - but soon it may be too late. Richard Allan MP(Lib Dem technology spokesman) said: “People being able to track your movements may seem like a theoretical risk, but in reality, do we want where we were at any particular point of the day to be known to everyone? “The idea that one not only has CCTV cameras watching over you but your own clothes watching over you and sending off data that could be jumbled up and spat out to your detriment is one that's of serious concern to me.” Twenty years after barcodes took over, the smart tag is on the edge of a far more pervasive revolution. The one question that isn't being asked is whether you want it.

agent smith was replicating in the matrix, neo was "feeling" and stopping the sentinels in the real world, agent smith copied himself into a human in zion.. now i normally don't obsess over movies... i usually just watch them once and then move on... no big deal.

but this time i have been trying to figure out all of the odd things about the matrix.. i wanted to throw my theories out for everyone to examine and see what you all think.... here goes... remember in the first movie when neo went to see the oracle?
