Most of the statements in the article are true.Antichrist concept,Illuminati are true, they exist;as to their plotting and directing world affairs are fodders for Robert Ludlums and Don Browns.If you carefully see their plot development you can see their ability to make you believe what they project may be true;therein lies their creativity,But nothing more.
At the same time you can not dismiss Ouija board,Talking with the dead,UFO,UMO,Etheric travel and the like for these phenomena are documented and needs research.
As for as free masons are concerned they are a group of people with certain beliefs and have certain rituals, so does every Religion.That’s all to it.
If even for arguments sake, if they want to change society by manipulation, let them try.After all Christianity and Islam has been doing so for years.
The paranormal pops up everywhere these days. In the last week, two different people have warned me against Ouija boards. In a video posted on YouTube, Richard Heene—who pretended a few weeks ago that his son was trapped in a runaway weather balloon—ponders the question of whether Hillary Clinton is one of those bloodthirsty, shape-shifting, humanoid alien “reptilians” that conspiracy theorists believe are planning a global takeover. At least three different ghost-hunting reality shows are currently airing on cable, all of them featuring muscular dudes storming down hallways in deserted schools and jails clasping electronic recording devices and howling, “Did you hear that?!”

This is hardly the first time in history that people have suddenly started spouting prophecies and speaking with the dead. These fads come in waves, usually fostered in the wake of unbearable tragedy. What else to do about earthquakes, floods, epidemics, dictators and wars than wonder which demon or deity devised this living hell and why, and what sacrifice or sorcery might make it stop? It is always fear and despair that sets us on this train of thought. During a gold rush or when we’ve just been given a clean bill of health, we need not believe in magic.

In the Black Death-ridden Middle Ages, chilled and starved by a climate shift now known as the Little Ice Age, Europe became obsessed with the body parts of saints. Crystal-encased, gem-bedecked bones and hanks of hair and half-mummified fingers, heads and hearts were credited with curative powers. Pilgrims packed cathedrals housing so-called holy relics, sometimes trampling the sick and weak during stampedes. Centuries later, the occult became the next big thing again as World War I and the 1918 flu epidemic found seances filling entire auditoriums around the world. Yet another paranormal paroxysm crested in the early 1970s: Think Watergate, Vietnam and the post-’60s awareness—a tragedy for some—that nothing would ever be the same again.

And now: Twin Towers. Financial collapse. War. Flood. The H1N1 virus is our plague.

Or is it? “In recognition of the continuing progression of the pandemic, and in further preparation as a nation,” as he put it, Barack Obama declared a national state of emergency on October 23. This declaration allows the federal government to waive certain requirements regarding prevention and treatment procedures because “the potential exists for the pandemic to overburden health care resources in some localities,” Obama said.

But the folks at AntichristIdentity.com would probably say this is just his latest step in “progressing the Antichrist system that is gathering pace after the recent world economic upheaval”—a system that “implicates not only Barack Obama but also Javier Solana of the European Union, Prince Charles of Wales, Queen Beatrix of Netherlands and Prince Hassan of Jordan,” a “power bloc” that “will drive the Antichrist world government.” The folks at BeastObama.com call it “amazing stuff going on here, right before our eyes … and it fits the pattern set out in Revelation 13.”

Every paranormal paroxysm involves politics. That’s only natural. We cannot help but brood about whomever rules the world. Is their might the result of keen diplomacy—or sigils chiseled into halls-of-power floors? Who’s really in that entourage? We cannot help but wonder as, joking-but-not-quite-joking, we doodle cartoons of George W. Bush with devil horns.

It’s all about control, as that’s what wizards, angels, demons, gods and elected officials wield. Is it such a long leap from superpower to supernatural?

Rumors of a secret cabal plotting to create a New World Order have been swirling almost ever since the Old World Order began. The nature of these shady puppeteers depends on who’s doing the worrying. Jews have been evergreen suspects, whether it’s the Elders of Zion or my penniless ancestors slogging through the Polish mud. Secret societies such as the Knights Templar and Freemasons stoke automatic fear: What are they doing in there?

As initiated members of a nondenominational, multiracial, all-male society whose origins are veiled in mystery but was probably founded in the late 16th century, Freemasons base their symbology on the tools of traditional stonemasons and allude, in their top-secret, tell-no-tales rituals, to the building of the Temple of Solomon. They wear lambskin aprons and do things with compasses, and they’ve been blamed for darn near everything. The Vatican officially condemned the brotherhood in 1738 for being “as political as they were religious,” writes Jay Kinney in The Masonic Myth: Unlocking the Truth About the Symbols, the Secret Rites, and the History of Freemasonry (HarperOne, 2009). And even though George Washington, Paul Revere and Benjamin Franklin were all Masons (lending support to rumors that the Boston Tea Party was a Masonic plot), America’s first third party was the Anti-Masonic Party. It was founded in 1826 and four years later, Kinney tells us, 124 different anti-Masonic newspapers were thriving.

Like others before and after him, Adolf Hitler believed that Freemasonry was a Zionist front. Railing against “the international world Jew” in Mein Kampf, he conjectured that “to strengthen his political position … the governing circles and the higher strata of the political and economic bourgeoisie are brought into his nets by the strings of Freemasonry. … The prohibition of Masonic secret societies,” Hitler predicted, would silence “the hissing of the Jewish world hydra.”

Article 22 of the Hamas Covenant repeats the Jewish/Mason claim, and then some: “With their money, they formed secret societies, such as Freemasons, Rotary Clubs, the Lions and others in different parts of the world for the purpose of sabotaging societies.” Other conspiracy theorists charge the Masons with faking the moon landing, worshiping Satan and assassinating JFK.

“Within the thriving subculture of present-day born-again Christianity,” writes Kinney, a longtime Gnosis magazine editor and 32nd-degree Knight Commander Court of Honor in Freemasonry’s Scottish Rite, “anti-Masonic books are a mainstay,” thanks to evangelists such as Pat Robertson, who has called the brotherhood “a mystery religion designed to replace the old Christian world order of Europe and America.” Kinney mocks those “legions of anti-Masons, most of them superstitious believers in the occult as a demon-infested quagmire,” who “shiver dramatically as they hawk their books and videos.” He also notes that British conspiracy theorist David Icke, the most famous proponent of the reptilian concept, posts material at his Web site alleging that “there are secret tunnels beneath every Masonic lodge to facilitate reptilian rendezvous.” Yet Kinney insists that Freemasonry’s origins were neither alien nor occult: “Rather, it seems to have been an attempt to create a nucleus of men of goodwill, over and above fractious religious conflicts, using the motifs and symbols of temple building as working tools both for the deepening of the individual soul and for building an archetypal temple to the Most High in the collective imagination of humanity.”

Okay, but what are they doing in there? And are they or are they not intertwined with the Illuminati, a soooopersecret club founded in Germany in 1776 and modeled on the Masons but which Kinney claims disbanded in the 1780s but which conspiracy theorists insist still thrives, boasting such members as Barack Obama and both Bushes. “All this chaos, genocide, ethnic cleansing and the overall disasters have a genuine purpose,” we read at Illuminati-News.com:

“It is all very carefully planned by a few people, mostly men, behind the scenes, high up in the society. … These people on top, who basically are of Royal Bloodlines, is currently working on reducing the world population in order to easier maintain their control. … So who are those people I am talking about? They are basically 13 super wealthy families and their off-shoots, with the European Nobility on top, and their fellow travelers are the International Bankers. Their bloodlines go back in time—way back to old Babylon and further.”

Paul Greengrass, the director, who made, “The Bourne Supremacy” and “The Bourne Ultimatum”, has decided to drop out of directing, “Bourne 4″. Paul says he will still be involved with the film, however, but not as director.

Read more here at Variety:

This is kind of sad news and good news at the same time. Why sad? Because Paul did a brilliant job directing the last two movies. I think the Bourne trilogy is amazing, I love them all three of them. The good news, I think they will find a better director to make “Bourne 4″ a more action packed film. It’s going to be interesting to see who they are going to pick as the next director.

They could even get Doug Liman back who directed the first one, “The Bourne Identity”, never know.

Nothing to do with Michael Jackson. This is a slightly more representative drawing than that captured in a previous post. I’ve sketched this lady a few times. She frequently sits beside another woman – also an avid reader.

Jeg så at “Gåten Jason Bourne” vises på TV i kveld. Da følte jeg for å mimre litt….
Dette er min yndlingshelt, 3 av mine yndlingsfilmer og 1 av mine yndlingslåter.
Jeg har lset noen rykter om at det er skrevet 2 oppfølgere med tillatelse av Robert Ludlum. De kunne jeg tenke meg å lese. Må sjekke det opp en gang….

I mellomtiden: ENJOY! (Må visst følge linken til YouTube)

Airport thrillers are bad for your brain – especially if read out of that context. This lady’s handbag caught my eye. It was amazingly complex, a real utility item; pockets, straps, zippers, heavy stitching, thick leather and jet black. Complete contrast to her leisure suit, soft shoes and heavily-patterned blouse. Maybe it was full of spy stuff. We shall never know.

You can buy this drawing at my Etsy store

Bookstore at the Beach

Our local library in here Humble Harrisburg, PA is under a pretty big renovation project which has it running at about 30% capacity. This put me in a position I’m not used to.

Usually when I come here I go straight to Fiction and then to Ted Bell, Robert Ludlum, Tom Clancy, John Grisham, or an author that I know I will be comfortable with. This usually means that I will enjoy the book and will give it a 4 or 5 star rating on Readernaut.com once finished. This pattern was obviously interrupted today forcing me to something different.

Not really understanding how they have everything laid out while under construction, I found the Mystery section. How can you go wrong with a good mystery? The last true mystery novel I read was probably a Hardy Boys book, way back when, so as I scanned the book spines nothing really seemed familiar to me.

This feeling, this method of looking for a book (usually by most attractive cover) reminds me of vacationing to the beach. The few times I traveled to Dewey Beach with my wife’s family, Lindsay and I would always make a stop at the book store on the board walk. Cluttered, unorganized, and therefore fantastic. So many options, so many stories. What to choose! It’s vacation, so anything will be good.

So while tilting my head to read the book titles this feeling crept up from behind and made me smile. There’s just something about buying a book at a bookstore on the boardwalk at the beach. Great memory!

Today I checked out The Bellini Card by Jason Goodwin. Have never heard of Jason Goodwin and am excited to see what kind of mystery he can write!

That kind of suggests that there might be content at some time.  Oops.  So as not to overwhelm, I’ll talk about one completed book at a  time.  Today’s pick?  Robert Ludlum’s The Ambler Warning.  Something that I noticed when I first picked up this book?  Robert Ludlum is a trademark.  In fact, The Ambler Warning wasn’t written by Ludlum at all.  It was published 4 years after he died, and written by an unnamed author. Perhaps it comes from notes or outlines that Ludlum did write… This quote is from an inner page: “Since his death, the Estate of Robert Ludlum has worked with a carefully selected author and editor to prepare and edit this work for publication”.  This explains a lot.  Now, I know Eric van Lustbader has written subsequent “Bourne” novels, but he’s well know enough that he gets a cover credit.  This poor dude…nothing!  Hopefully there’s at least a large pay cheque involved.

I’ve read a bunch of Ludlum in my past, and had the same problem each time.  I always found they started off strong, had a dullness in the middle and then rewarded you for sticking to it with an awesome finish.  This book was missing the dullness…which was my second clue that it wasn’t written by Ludlum.  I did enjoy it; it was fast-paced, grabbed my attention, and I didn’t figure out the double cross until I was only sentences away from it.  It would be a good beach read…not too mentally taxing, but a lot of fun.  I’m not sure how I feel about the estate business though….

Hi,

     Jason Bourne movie series (The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum) is one of the popular movie series. When you talk about Jason Bourne, how can you forget Matt Damon (and my favorite one)? Matt Damon acted (and fitted) perfectly as Jason character. He did amazing acting in all 3 movies and has signed-up with Paul Greengrass for fourth part. 

     Why suddenly Jason Bourne? Right? Hmmm.. Yesterday I was watching The Bourne Ultimatum on HBO (If you missed or still not watch, then watch it. They broadcasting all 3 movies in repetitive manner) and search on Google (I have internet on my hand and so Google is best option to know anything…right?) and I found lots of interesting things about Jason Bourne Character.

   All Bourne movies are loosely based (or you can say inspired) on Bourne Series Novel. Robert Ludlum was creator of Jason Bourne, A Fictional Character. The character has been in 8 Bourne series novel. However first 3 novels are written by Robert Ludlum and later 5 novels are written by Eric Van Lustbader (with permission from the estate of Robert Ludlum).

!!! Rock On !!!

is that scammers are posting fake jobs to craigslist.org . Most of these I can spot right away and don’t apply to but yeah, I have applied to a few scam jobs. It is mean, mean, mean to post fake jobs on craigslist.org. Just mean. But this week takes the cake.

One job actually asked for, and I quote:”We looking for a younger attractive female.” unquote. I wrote them saying that if I knew what the name of this company was or the address I would put in a complaint to the Federal Government to file charges of discrimination. They didn’t have to say that. With all the people out of work they would be sure to get what they are looking for. All they had to do was throw away all male candidates. Then throw away older female candidates. Maybe other people responded also in the manner I did because the job has been removed from craigslist.org.

Quite some time ago I had been sent a Jury Summons. This weekend I was to report for jury duty. I was supposed to either call or go to the website. So I chose the website and put in my jury number. I don’t have jury duty this week it has been canceled. I am disappointed. I would have liked to see how far I would have gotten. I would have liked to be asked a bunch of questions and so on and so forth. But maybe because I did not do jury duty I may still be on the list sometime in the future.

I have been reading some books that I have read before to keep busy. I finished the Jason Bourne series by Robert Ludlum. Eric van Lustbader has 5 books in the Jason Bourne series and I only have two of those and not read yet. The Robert Ludlum books have been made into movies and let me tell you the movies are like having three totally new Jason Bourne stories they are no way shape or form like the books. Never have I read books made into movies that were so totally different. Don’t get me wrong the movies are good it is just that they are so different.

I have also been reading the Harry Potter books by J K Rowling. The movies made from these books  adhere to the story line extremely close. Just a few things left out mostly because otherwise the movies would have been much longer. I remember way back when the first one came out and all the buzz, buzz, buzz. I bought the first one just to see what all the fuss was about. I was doing laundry at the laundromat while reading Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone. There was a young girl there and she was looking at me funny, like what was a grown up reading a child’s book for. Now if I were a parent I would of course read what my kids are reading so I can know if there is anything I need to talk to them about or possible questions to be answered. Hopefully the little girl will remember when she is grown up and has children of her own why an adult would read a child’s book. For my part I read them all beyond the first one because they are good to read no matter what your age. Something exciting is happening in EVERY chapter.

I read about half of Obama’s speech to schoolchildren. It was a good speech. I can understand why parents kept their kids out of school that day though. A lot of politicians are liars, cheats and thieves so why should I let my kids listen to one. Parents who are responsible for what their kids are learning and what their kids are doing pay attention. These parents screen as much as they can and decide whether their kids can go see a movie or read a book or go to a concert. Obama should have let the parents read his speech before he gave it to give those responsible parents a chance to screen it. Not so many kids would have been absent that day if he had.

These days, I am only cooking on 1/2 brain cell, and its batteries are low.
