Pyramids On Mars

You cannot deny what you see:

This image is from the US Viking. It is a photo of Cydonia, which is on Mars. Pyramids clearly are visible. There are a lot of websites online about this; each with their own thoughts and opinions.

Here is one of them to get you started: click.

Limestone and Pyramids

2008-09-18T23:38:20Z

Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed largely of the mineral calcite (calcium carbonate: CaCO3).
(Wiki)

What I find interesting is that limestone once covered the pyramids at Giza. You can still see some at the top of the tallest one:

They were covered in smooth limestone and had a gold cap on top:

Woman Arrested For Failing To Return Library Books

2008-08-22T23:15:24Z

VIDEO
GRAFTON, Wis. -- A woman has been arrested for failing to return two books to the Grafton Library.

Heidi Dalibor was arrested after she failed to return the books, "Angels and Demons" and "White Oleander", last year.

I said, what could they possibly do? They can?t arrest me for this I was wrong, Dalibor said.

Dalibor did not respond to four notices from the library, two phone calls and two letters. The library forwarded the case to police, who issued a citation for Dalibor's failure to return the materials or pay the fine. The citation included a court date, which Dalibor admits she ignored.

With arrest warrant in hand, police showed up at Dalibor?s door and led her away in handcuffs.

While the police have been criticized for going so far, the police chief said they simply followed the law.

None of this would have been necessary if she followed the agreement and returned the books, said Grafton Police Chief Charles Wenten.

Dalibor paid her $170 fine and was released.

I completely take responsibility for not paying my fine on time and not going to my court date, Dalibor said.

Still, she isn?t planning on returning the books.

I still have the books and I don?t plan to return them because they?re paid for now, Dalibor said.

FREEMAN

A rather informal and speculative approach to alternative history and general information: FREEMAN

I will admit that his presentation of certain things does become entertaining for various reasons, but anyone who is addicted to knowledge should be celebrated to varied degrees.

Michael Tsarion "interview"

2008-08-16T18:24:12Z

The other day, I listened to this "interview" with Michael Tsarion done by Josh Reeves. Its not really an interview as Josh Reeves encourages Michael Tsarion to just go ahead and talk.

What he has to say is absolutely great. You can hear it here(mp3).

For those who do not know, Michael Tsarion is an alternative historian who has written a handful of books and made a decent amount of videos. I have been following his work for a few years now. He is well grounded and does his research. He has a handful of websites and he cites his sources.

Truth Rising

2008-08-13T18:31:22Z

I recently downloaded and watched the new Alex Jone's documentary titled "Truth Rising" which shows you current work done by what is called the "911 Truth Movement." There is a lot of really great confrontations in this video with politicians. Overall, I really enjoyed watching this. It does not repeat the same approach that other 911 documentaries have done in the past.

My mom was going through some old photos and came across this. It is something the government distributed many decades ago. The way it is worded is rather entertaining:

SEVERED HEAD

2008-08-11T17:02:41Z

Aug. 3, 2008

ATHENS - A 31-year-old Greek beheaded his girlfriend and carried her head around the popular tourist island of Santorini before he was arrested, police said on Sunday.

The man, who police said had psychological problems, injured a police officer and two women while trying to escape arrest after killing the 25-year-old teacher in Greece's most picturesque island.

"He was walking around, carrying her head and telling the astonished villagers not to stop him," a police official told Reuters. "They knew he had psychological problems ... but they didn't expect he would reach this point."

DEATH

2008-08-11T02:56:16Z

I have been reading a book titled THE GODS OF EDEN. It is deeply interesting. I recently read about strange things that happened before, during, and after various plagues in the world. One thing in particular that stands out to me is this part I read about the personification of DEATH (black robe, scythe). I found this section online and a link to the full section is HERE (I really suggest you read it.)

Excerpt:
"In Brandenburg [in Germany] there appeared in 1559 humble men, of whom at first fifteen and later on twelve were seen. The foremost had beside their posteriors little heads, the others fearful faces and long scythes, with which they cut at the oats, so that the swish could be heard at a great distance, but the oats remained standing. When a quantity of people came running out to see them, they went on with their mowing.

The visit of the strange men to the oat fields was followed immediately by a severe outbreak of the Plague in Brandenburg.

This incident raises intriguing questions: who were the mysterious figures? What were the long scythe-like instruments they held that emitted a loud swishing sound? It appears that the "scythes" may have been long instruments designed to spray poison or germ-laden gas. This would mean that the townspeople misinterpreted the movement of the "scythes" as an attempt to cut oats when, in fact, the movements were the act of spraying aerosols on the town. Similar men dressed in black were reported in Hungary:

... in the year of Christ 1571 was seen at Cremnitz in the mountain towns of Hungary on Ascension Day in the evening to the great perturbation [disturbance] of all, when on the Schuelersberg there appeared so many black riders that the opinion was prevalent that the Turks were making a secret mid, but who rapidly disappeared again, and thereupon a raging plague broke out in the neighborhood.'

Strange men dressed in black, "demons," and other terifying figures were observed in other European communities The frightening creatures were often observed carrying long "brooms," "scythes," or "swords" that were used to "sweep" or "knock at" the doors of people's homes. The inhabitants of those homes fell ill with plague afterwards. It is from these reports that people created the popular image of "Death" as a skeleton or demon carrying a scythe. The scythe came to symbolize the act of Death mowing down people like stalks of grain. In looking at this haunting image of death, we may, in fact, be staring into the face of the UFO."

Jolly Rancher

2008-08-09T20:38:41Z

Jolly Rancher is a brand of candy, including hard candy, gummies, fruit chews, jellybeans, lollipops, and sodas.

The product was originally produced by the Jolly Rancher Company, founded in 1949 by Bill and Dorothy Harmsen of Golden, Colorado. The Jolly Rancher Company made ice cream, chocolate and candy sold at several "Ranch Maid Ice Cream" stores in the Denver area. The name was meant to suggest western hospitality.

Jolly Rancher began concentrating on hard candies as sales grew. In 1951, production was eventually moved to Wheat Ridge, Colorado. In 1966, the Harmsens sold the company to Beatrice Foods. In 1983, the Jolly Rancher Candy Company was purchased from Beatrice Foods by Leaf Candy Company. Huhtamaki, a global consumer and specialty packaging company originating from Finland, in turn bought Leaf, and in 1996, sold it to Hershey Foods Corporation. Production in Colorado ceased in October 2002. All of the machinery in the factory was auctioned off two months later and the factory demolished in March 2005. The candies are now manufactured in plants in Canada and Mexico.

LICH

2008-08-09T04:34:32Z

In modern fantasy fiction, a lich (sometimes spelled liche, cognate to German Leiche "corpse") is a type of undead creature, usually formerly a powerful magician or king, who has used evil rituals to bind his intellect to his animated corpse and thereby achieve a perverse form of immortality. Liches are depicted as being clearly cadaverous (as opposed to the generally more appealing forms of vampires), their bodies desiccated or even completely skeletal. Liches are often depicted as holding power over hordes of lesser undead creatures, using them as their soldiers and servants, and thus are a threat both individually and as leaders of belligerent forces.
