Program Focus:

This program will explore how belief, history, myth and politics create the great drama of Jerusalem.

Black Sun over Jerusalem

"Jersusalem was the center of the world; at the center of Jerusalem was the temple; at the center of the temple was the Ark of the Covenant; at the center of the Ark of the Covenant, seated invisibly on a throne within it, was God." Edward Fox, from Sacred Geography: A Tale of Murder and Archeology in the Holy Land

"Since it is not our aim to desecrate the sanctity of the place, as the murderers who took control of the spot and took the clerics hostage are doing, we expect the international community to demand that they lay down their arms and leave the holy place...Until then, the (Israeli army) will remain in position."  Ariel Sharon

"Have you noticed the similarities between the siege of the Church of the Nativity and what happened in Waco? The same scenario is being played out."  Carol A. Valentine, from: "Waco Paradigm And The Church Of The Nativity"

"Note where it says: “on Thursday, Samir Ibrahim Salman, 45, a quiet Palestinian Christian and the bell-ringer, had been hit by a single bullet in the chest and died.” It omits to mention the obvious: namely that such deadly accuracy was probably not the result of a stray bullet but deliberate, maybe even the work of a sniper. Nor does it tell us where Salman was when he was shot. Was he in the Church of the Nativity complex itself or elsewhere in Bethlehem? Was he in fact shot whilst ringing the bells in the Church of Nativity? With The Times we can only assume the worst, particularly after its Middle East correspondent Sam Kiley resigned recently in protest at the way his reports were being edited. Of course there are no outright lies in this report but there are subtle omissions of detail that help obscure the real truth beneath a veneer of balanced reporting." Rixon Stewart, from: "Can You See Through The 'Spin'? Test Yourself"

"The light of Thule comes not from the East but from the North. Its tradition is "Uranian," being derived from Uranos, lord of the cosmic world order and of the primordial Paradise of the Aryan Race, situated at the North Pole. It was Urano's usurping son Saturn who brought upon this originally happy and unified humanity the dubious gift of the egoic state. The temptations consequent upon this change in the human constitution lead to the loss of primeval unity and, eventually, the destruction of Saturn's realm, Atlantis. Thereupon the warm climate of the secret island of the Hyperboreans was suddenly replaced by bitter winter. The primordial races of the Arctic and of the Nordic Atlantis borth lost their homes, and were forced to migrate southwards." Joscelyn Godwin, on Wilhelm Landig's Godlets against Thule, from Arktos: The Polar Myth

"Also tuck into the back of your mind that Iran has ALWAYS had a special relationship with Germany AND Austria. All three countries believe the ARYAN race originated in Iran. This is also part of the Legend of the Holy Grail, Prestor John and the Knights Templars." RUMOR MILL NEWS, from "U.S. ANTI-ISRAEL POLICY: "THE LEVEL BATTLEFIELD"

"In a widely publicized letter to Israel's ambassador to Germany, Norbert Bluem, a former labor minister under
 Chancellor Helmut Kohl, described the Israeli offensive as a "war of annihilation" - the very term employed by Adolf Hitler to describe the 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union.  And Juergen Moellemann, deputy chairman of the liberal Free Democrats, a likely coalition partner in the next German government, said of Palestinian violence, "I would resist too, and use force to do so," adding that would apply "not just in my country but in the aggressor's country as well." Such deliberately provocative language was once taboo outside far-right and far-left circles here. And some observers view the political mainstreaming of anti-Israeli sentiment as more than an immediate response to the crisis, but a deeper expression of Germany's desire not to be shackled by history as the unified republic assumes a greater role on the world stage." Peter Finn, from "In Germany, harsh words for Israel"

 “As the energetic center of the galaxy or even the universe, this dark central sun represents the mass of potential energy prior to the Big Bang of modern cosmology."  Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke, from: Black Sun: Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism and the Politics of Identity

“While the Jewish Cabala described its “black light,” Eastern initiates of Aryan tradition regarded it as a source of “creative light” and the “center of Universal life – Electricity."  Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke, from: Black Sun: Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism and the Politics of Identity

 “Blavatsky thus emphasized a distinction between the Semitic and Aryan cosmogony; the former materializes and humanizes the mysteries of nature; the latter spiritualizes matter.  Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke, from: Black Sun: Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism and the Politics of Identity

"Actually, the historians in the SS research department were inclined to embrace the theory that the Nordic
Aryans originated in Atlantis, whence they had fled to northern Europe after the inundation of their homeland.  Hitler’s attachment was not to the German territory but to the German race, which was free to wander and colonize other lands."  Koenraad Elst, from: Update on the Aryan Invasion Debate

"The geopolitical idea so often expressed by Pope John Paul and Mikhail Gorbachev that the world, or at least a good part of it, comprises 'one family' is not farfetched.  There is a broad concensus among anthropologists, linguists, agospecialists, and cultural experts that some relatively short time after the last glaciers receded from the Eurasian landmass--about twelve thousand years ago--there flourished the remote ancestors of almost all the peoples now occupying "Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals," and North America, as well." Sometime before 7000 BC, a vast revolution changed the Caucasians' way of life and ushered them on to their destiny...earliest farming communities known to us existed in that area...Human procreation became a source and a cause of  blessings...More hands were the key to tilling more soil....The sequel is easy to understand.  More soil-- more land--meant outward expansion...("Blood and Soil?" "Lebensraum?" --Editor)...Constantly on the go, the Caucasian people superimposed themselves  and their language where they went..." Malachi Martin,  The Keys to This Blood

"The last anti-Islamic crusade was launched by Mikhail Gorbachev under his "liberalizing" program of perestroika, in which Islam was perceived as the enemy of modernization and a rallying point for anti-Russian feelings amonst Central Asia's ethnic groups." Ahmed Rashid, from Jihad: The Rise of Militant Islam in Central Asia

"Nationalist theorists wrote of three stages, too. Their nations were the heirs of an earlier glory. Of course powerful nations already claimed to be the heirs of Rome. In 1923 Moeller van den Bruck coined the phrase, "the Third Reich". The Holy Roman Empire was the first, Bismarck's Germany the second and the Nazis referred to their Germany after the takeover in 1933 in van den Bruck's phrase as "the Third Reich" or in millenarian terminology, "the Thousand Year Reich". Milton J. Fisher, from "Myths of Power and Millennialism"

" In an updated version of his thoroughly researched book on secret societies, Helsing delineates some surprising relationships. In a plan first suggested by former SS Officer and Himmler “intimus”, Prince Berhard of the Netherlands to the ageing Nazi prominenti in Chile’s Colonia Dignidad some years ago, a powerful lobby with access to major media needed to be formed to complete Hitler’s unfinished “final solution.” Focus of the provocative strategy to be carried out through selected print and television media, would be the Palestinian youth in the refugee camps who were to be whipped into an anti-Zionist frenzy. Among those present at the meeting in Chile were Arafat associates, Hamas and Hezbollah leadership cadre, representatives of wealthy Egyptian and Saudi Financiers and anti-Semitic experts from a number of countries including Austria. The most surprising attendee, representing virulent, oriental anti-semitic groups such as Sokka Gakkai and Aum Shinrikyu was a very senior Japanese diplomat, then ambassador to Ecuador. The plan was not implemented until one year ago when the group secured funding through the intervention of an Austrian pro Saddam group known as The International Progress Organization. Its leader, a university Professor at Innsbruck had himself nominated while visiting Chile on February 3, 2001 by Kofi Annan on the basis of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1192 (1998) with the approval of the Director General of UNESCO." Anubis, from: "Saddam Funds Anti Israel Lobby"

"Recently a full-page advertisement in the 10 September 2000 New York Times, signed by over 150 Jewish scholars and leaders, stated: Christians can respect the claim of the Jewish people upon the land of Israel. The most important event for Jews since the Holocaust has been the reestablishment of a Jewish state in the Promised Land. As members of a biblically-based religion, Christians appreciate that Israel was promised - and given - to Jews as the physical center of the covenant between them and God. Many Christians support the State of Israel for reasons far more profound than mere politics. As Jews, we applaud this support."Michael Prior, from: "Confronting the Bible's Ethnic Cleansing In Palestine"

"Here we see clothed in the garment of piety the Zionist enterprise, which was determined to create a state for Jews at the expense of the indigenous Arab people - a product of the nationalistic and imperialistic spirit of 19th-century Europe.  Whatever pangs of conscience one might have about the expulsion of a million Palestinian Arabs, and the destruction of their villages to ensure they would not return,  the Bible can salve it."Michael Prior, from: "Confronting the Bible's Ethnic Cleansing In Palestine"

"Zionism, a program originally despised by both wings of Judaism, Orthodox and Reform, as being anti-religious (by the Orthodox) and contrary to the universal mission of Judaism (by Reform Jewry), is now at the core of the Jewish credo.  And credulous Christians allow themselves to be sucked into the vortex. Only when Zionism is being evaluated are normal rules of morality suspended; only here is  ethnic-cleansing applauded by the religious spirit." Michael Prior, from: "Confronting the Bible's Ethnic Cleansing In Palestine"

"The hidden United States Doctrine known as “Level Battlefield” belies something far more sinister that merely withholding intelligence from Israel and supplying Israel’s enemies with weapons. The origins of this policy are rooted in a 1947 agreement to make Jerusalem the capital of a One World Government. Yasser Arafat alluded to this agreement during the Millennium summit that was held in NYC last week. If the Level Battlefield was based on the 1947 United Nations agreement, then it means that to achieve a One World Government, armageddon will occur and Israel will be destroyed." RUMOR MILL NEWS, from "U.S. ANTI-ISRAEL POLICY: "THE LEVEL BATTLEFIELD"

"The Children Of Israel are about to become the lepers of the world. And it has all been planned from the beginning. UN Secretary General Kofi Annan announced just this before he added that he would be meeting Colin Powell in Spain. The CFR, UN and Jesuit Vatican will meet in Madrid to add the final touches to the end game for Israel. They have been playing NWO good cop/bad cop with Israel. Bush and the US, of course, were the good cops, the UN and EU, the bad, but now Israel is going to discover they were all the same, all along: same aim, same anti-Semitic agenda, same new order, they just played different roles for awhile." Barry Chamish, from: "And Now, End Play"

"By no coincidence, the Black Dragons, the oriental Secret Society which survived World War II intact, morphed into the chinese drug running empire which finances Sun Myung Moon's "religion." When Moon's naked ideas were laughed out of America, they returned disguised as hate soaked brands of fundamentalism and soapboxes for various Iran Contra Players to give them veils of respectablity.  My thesis is that the Black Dragon/Thule/Skull and Bones is at some level all one entity. It is this entity running Israel, and it finds Jews "in the way." The campaign of these forces to "Blame Jews" is going strong. Evidence of Israeli spying comes out, but the influence of Moon's diabolical payoffs remain hidden.  The Webfairy from: "The Reason for the Focus on Israel"

"Yesterday the Turin paper La Stampa, another ultra-respectable establishment organ, ran a front-page cartoon showing a tank emblazoned with the Star of David pointing its gun straight at the baby Jesus, who tells the attackers: "Surely they don't want to kill me again?" While anti-Semitic imagery is still rare enough in the mainstream Italian press to make it worth remarking on, the conventional wisdom is overwhelmingly and aggressively anti-Israeli. Why else would the popular TV host Bruno Vespa (a slightly more cerebral version of Larry King) dare ask the Israeli ambassador, a guest on his show: "Was this the way to repay the Holy Father's overture, sending tanks into the birthplace of Jesus?"  Francis X. Rocca , from "Between Rome and Jerusalem"

" In his weekly column for the London based Saudi daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, Arafat's aide Bassam Abu Sharif
charged Jews of 'nailing Jesus to the cross.' Accusing Israel of shooting at the statue of the Virgin Mary in
Bethlehem, Abu Sharif wrote:  "This, of course, was a failed attempt to murder peace, love, and tolerance, just as their forefathers tried to  murder the prophetic message when they hammered their nails and iron stakes through the body of Jesus into the wooden cross…" from  Al-Sharq Al-Awsat (London), March 20, 2002. "  Nailing Jesus to the Cross

"The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them." - George Orwell

"Courage!" the Pope said, according to Father Faltas. "Continue the resistance and custody of the holy places."  "Pope Telephones His Encouragement to Friars at Besieged Basilica"
 

Sacrifice

"The business of all temples everywhere in the world, dedicated to whatever deity,  was the labor of
abbatoirs and shambles,  sacred slaughter houses.  Christians would replace the sprinkling of animal blood there with the drinking of human blood  in a mystery, from a common cup, by common folk, in a commonwealth of God, at every common table in the Empire. Common-ism." Grant M Gallup, from "Homily Grits"

"The most familiar form of the atonement doctrine, for instance, supposes that a wrathful God demanded that a
victim pay in blood for human sin - like the animals that died in the atonement sacrifices at the Jewish Temple -
and that God chose to take human form and pay for the sin "Himself." Gil Bailie, from Violence Unveiled

"Specifically characteristic of agriculturalists, cosmic religiosity continued the most  elementary dialectic of the sacred, especially the belief that the divine is incarnated, or manifest itself, in cosmic objects and rhythms.  Now such a belief was denounced by  the adherents of Yahweh as the worst possible idolatry, and this ever since the the Israelites' entrance into Palestine.  But never was cosmic religiosity so savagely attacked.  The prophets finally succeeded in emptying nature of any divine presence.  Whole sectors of the natural world--the "high places," stones, springs, trees, certain crops, certain flowers--will be denounced as unclean because they were polluted by the cult of the Canaanite divinities of fertility.  The preeminently clean and holy region is the desert alone, for it is there that Israel remained faithful to its God.  The sacred dimension of vegetation and, in general, of the exuberant epiphanies of nature will be rediscovered only late, in medieval Judaism."  Mircea  Eliade, from A History of Religious Ideas

"When [Emporer] Commodus called the [Roman] senators together to offer sacrifice to himself as if he were Hercules the son of Jupiter, the General Assembly was held in the 'Temple of the Earth'. Standing before this temple was the Petra Scelerata, the accursed stone. Each year on April 15th, the feast of Fordicidia was held in this temple, consecrated to Tellus, the Mother-Earth goddess. It involved sacrificing a pregnant cow to Tellus. During this important ceremony, the unborn calf was burned whole. This whole burnt offering was called the Holocaust. Throughout pagan history, the major burnings of Jews and Christians have occurred on or near this date. Roman pagan Fordicidia is the same feast as the Feast of Ishtar, consecrated to the Mother-Earth goddess Ishtar of Babylon that has since been christianized and celebrated as Easter by the apostate Christian church. The four great Roman feasts are a counterfeit of Jewish Passover and the Seven Days of Unleavened Bread. The Devil is very precise! The Fordicidia, held on April 15th, is the satanic substitute for Jewish Passover. (Jesus Christ is the Passover Lamb of God).  Immediately following the Fordicidia and celebrated in conjunction with this first [anti-]sacred feast comes the Cerialia. This feast is consecrated to the cereal goddess Ceres, held on April 19th every year. Immediately following the Cerialia comes the Parilia, held on April 21st, consecrated to the goddess Pales, who is the goddess of shepherds and their flocks. Lastly, comes the greatest feast of Rome, the Vinalia, consecrated to the supreme god, Jupiter, the god of light (Lucifer) -- the sun, the protector of vines and of the Roman people. Lucifer's feast has a special double articulation on the Roman calendar, April 23rd and August 19th." John D. Christian, from: Gladiator

“The last ashes of the last red heifer ran out sometime after the Romans razed the Temple in Jerusalem in the year 70. Every Jew became impure by reason of presumed contact with death which, practically speaking, didn’t matter much because there was no sanctuary to enter and sacrifice has ceased being the center of Judiasm.” Gershom Gorenberg, from The End of Days

"In modern times, rabbinical law forbids Jews from setting foot on the Temple Mount, thus violating the site where the Holy of Holies dwelled, until and unless they are ritually purified. Without a perfect red heifer to
sacrifice, the Third Temple cannot be built, and Moshiach — the Messiah —will not come."   Rod Dreher, from: "Red-Heifer Days

 "It can now be revealed that less than one month ago, a red heifer was born in Israel. After the heifer's owner contacted the Temple Institute, on Friday,  April 5th, 2001, Rabbi Menachem Makover and Rabbi Chaim Richman traveled to the farm where the heifer is located, to inspect and validate her status. The rabbis found her to be kosher and were satisfied that this heifer could indeed be a candidate to be used in the process of purification described in the book of Numbers, chapter 19. This is an important development towards the rebuilding of the Holy Temple." NEWS FLASH:  Red Heifer Born in Israel! Updated April 8th, 2002

"These kinds of circumstances are exactly what people are waiting for," says Richard Landes, a Boston University history professor and director of its Center for Millenial Studies. "We could be starting a war. If this is a real red heifer, and strict Orthodox rabbis have declared her worthy of sacrifice, then a lot of Jews in Israel will take that as a sign that a new phase of history is about to begin. The Muslims are ready for jihad anyway, so if you have Jews up there doing sacrifices, talk about a red flag in front of a charging bull." Rod Dreher, from: "Red-Heifer Days

"It is tempting to pause and note that by the elimination of the scapegoat, the cycle of mimetic violence ceases and the culture is able to establish its violence-preventing distinctions and forms...much religious ritual         reenacts symbolically both the original mad mimetic violence of a culture and  the cultural foundation achieved by the sacrifice of a scapegoat. Ritual thus serves the important cultural purpose of reinforcing and transmitting the lessons learned in a scapegoat-broken cycle of violence. The scapegoat, perceived as simultaneously the cause and the solution to violence, becomes the sacred: the single locus of both divine terror and divine blessing, the unity of the two manifestations of the holy..."   J. Bottum, from "Girard Among the Girardians"

 "The story of the scapegoat ought to be impenetrable. Myth serves primarily to hide the arbitrariness of the victim and the fact that the innocent victim is a victim at all. If we know the victim to be arbitrary, we cannot succeed in making him sacred; if we know the victim to be innocent, the cycle of violence and the breakdown of culture cannot be solved-as they were not solved in Athens, for instance, by the innocent Socrates' death.J. Bottum, from "Girard Among the Girardians"

"Only a portion of the Jewish people accepted the new doctrine [Christianity]. Those who refused to are still called Jews today…. They were obliged to hear  the new religious community…reproach them with having murdered God. In full, this reproach would run as follows: “They will not accept it as true that they murdered God, whereas we admit it and have been cleansed of that guilt.”… A special enquiry would be called for to discover why it has been impossible for the Jews to join in this forward step….   Sigmund Freud, from: Moses and Monotheism

"While the Church is assigned the labor of supernatural redemption of the world, Israel we believe, is assigned on the plane and within the limits of secular history, a task of earthly activization of the mass of the world. Israel, which is not of the world. Israel, which is not of the heart of the world’s structure, stimulating it, exasperating it,
moving it. Like an alien body, like an activating ferment injected into the mass, it gives the world no peace, it bars slumber, it teaches the world to be discontented and restless as long as the world has not God, it
stimulates the movement of history." Jacques Maritain, from A Christian Looks at the Jewish Question

 "We have in cultural anthropology... one set of religious texts that seems to take the side of the victim. Often in the Old Testament and overwhelmingly in the New, the mythology of scapegoat sacrifice is penetrated
and thereby rendered ineffectual... Judaism and Christianity are fundamentally anti-sacred in their partisanship for the victim, and this is only possible (logically, scientifically, anthropologically) if Judaism and Christianity actually do have a divine revelation-if the Bible, to put it bluntly, is true."J. Bottum, from "Girard Among the Girardians"

“…the Orthodox church is dark as a starry night, lit mainly by scattered flickering candles. In this space one is everywhere surrounded by the powerful icons, radiating as though by their own light. One’s eyes move over walls covered with stars against a night-blue background, stopping suddenly at the great dome above, upon which a gigantic head of Christ looks back down at you. This is a cosmos whose central force is an act of sacrifice for the sake of man, for oneself. And this sacrificial cosmos demands form man a response.” Jacob Needleman, from Consciousness & Tradition

"The widespread adulation of Al Qaeda and the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, of Osama bin Laden and Yasir Arafat, of Mohammed Atta and the young man on his way to paradise because last week he perpetrated mass murder in Tel Aviv, is evidence of the deep roots that this practice has in the culture of the Arab and Muslim world. And let us name the phenomenon honestly. When pampered Saudi princes praise the "martyrs of Palestine," and when Arafat himself says (more than a bit insincerely) that he wishes to die a shahid, they are (as Shimon Peres has pointed out) countenancing the idea of human sacrifice as an active agent of modern politics." Martin Peretz , from "Murdering Jews, Then and Now"

" Within the past year, Sheikh Muhammad Sayyed Tantawi, the top Egyptian cleric of Al-Azhar University, has
 shifted his position regarding the targeting of civilians in suicide bombings. While he previously stated that
 Palestinians should refrain from targeting civilians,(1) he recently declared that martyrdom (suicide) operations and the killing of civilians are permitted acts and that more such attacks should be carried out. Tantawi's positions were posted on www.lailatalqadr.com, a website associated with Al-Azhar. The following
are excerpts from the report: "The great Imam of Al-Azhar Sheikh Muhammad Sayyed Tantawi, demanded that the Palestinian people, of  all factions, intensify the martyrdom operations [i.e. suicide attacks] against the Zionist enemy, and described  the martyrdom operations as the highest form of Jihad operations. He says that the young people executing  them have sold Allah the most precious thing of all."  Leading Egyptian Government Cleric Calls For: "Martyrdom Attacks that Strike Horror into the Hearts of the Enemies of Allah

Jerusalem and the Crusades

"Jerusalem has been occupied more times than any other city in the world. The Macedonians, Babylonians and Romans during their occupation destroyed the Jewish temples in the Holy city. Hadrian ordered that no Jew should be permitted to step into Jerusalem, the Crusaders history records meted out harsh treatment to the Jews." Siddiq Ghouse, from "Muslims and Jerusalem"

“As Al-Haram al-Sharif, the Noble Sanctuary, it is the third-holiest site in Islam. Near its center stands the Dome of the Rock – a gilded half-sphere rising from an octagonal base. The protuberance of bedrock inside the shrine traditionally marks the spot where Muhammd ascended to heaven on his nighttime journey from Mecca nearly fourteen hundred years ago. It probably also marks…the location of the Holy of Holies, the sacred core of the Jewish temple.” Gershom Gorenberg, from The End of Days

"Jerusalem came under Islamic rule during the reign of Caliph Umar in 638 C.E..The Patriarch of the city of Jerusalem, Sophronius himself offered the keys of the city of Jerusalem to Caliph Umar after its conquest. Upon entering the blessed city, the benevolent Caliph asked about the site of the Blessed Rock where the Prophet went on Mihraj, that was then a desolate site, according to historian was a dung hill. Umar when locating the site fell upon his knees and started cleaning the place with his own hands. The Masjid al Aqsa was established in that place. Later during the Umayyad period,the beautiful mosque and next to it the Dome of the Rock were built in 691. Jerusalem remained under Muslim rule until the Crusaders seized it. Those were bloody wars, and the
Crusaders held the city from 1099 till the famous Muslim General Saladin the Great recaptured it from the Crusaders."  Siddiq Ghouse, from "Muslims and Jerusalem"

Temple Mount: The Secret Battle of Apocalypse

"A secret Medieval battle over the Temple Mount is being conducted in Israel today and unless it can be stopped, this skirmish has the potential of dragging the whole planet into war." Barry Chamish, from:  Why the PLO is Tunneling Under Temple Mount

"The Apocalypse is a space of conceptualisations that emerge from information, communication, bio-genetic and nuclear technologies and, as such, it is a principle factor inherent in the very logic of modernisation. Phenomena such as ecological disasters, epidemics, urban disorders and guerrilla warfare must be read alongside these technological transformations. Of central importance in these conceptualisations is the way in which 'the Apocalypse' signifies a mutual collapse of time and space into a void indicating 'the end' (for example
dystopia). This returns to cultural practices of everyday life in a multitude of forms: moral panics, crowd-anxieties, political apathy, hyper-hedonistic consumption, public angst, lethargic cocooning, cybernetic
insomnia and domesticated terror. Suggested topics will include disorganized spaces: violence, crime, riots, urban terrorism, ecological disasters as well as more `everyday' (dis)orders such as fires, accidents, power-cuts and epidemics." from Call for Papers,  'Space & Culture' Design, Space and Society Research Unit

"There was Egyptian writer Sa'id Ayyub's Al-Masih al-Dajjal - that is, The Antichrist - which expands radically on the old Islamic idea that at history's finale a Jewish Antichrist will rule until Jesus, as Muslim prophet, returns to defeat him." Gershom Gorenberg, from: The End of Days

"Essentially the tribes of Judah, followers of Moses, has been taken over by GOG MAGOG who are servants of the Anti-Christ ...in Biblical language.  The same fate happened to the followers of Jesus, the Christians, via the Roman Empire and the Jesuits ... And the same has been for the followers of Muhammad, the Muslims via the Wahabi's ... And what do we have today ...total disarray among the children of Adam, exactly as Satan predicted he would do... But Abraham said that he would teach thru his sons - the Jews and the Arabs - how Satan can be defeated ... unfortunately they are about to annihilate themselves OR ARE THEY?  What's next I wonder?" Aladdin, from: "VOICE OF THE FEW AGAINST GOG MAGOG"

"If there's any place in the world where belief in the End is a powerful force in real-life events, it's the Holy Land. The territory shared and contested by Jews and Palistinians is the stage of myth in Christianity, Judaism, and even Islam. When a great  drama is played out here, the temptation is to match events with the Script of the Last Days can be irresistible. For a century just such a drama has been acted out, compelling the world's attention - and firing expectations in all three religions among those who hope for the End."
Gershom Gorenberg, from The End of Days: Fundamentalism and the Struggle for the Temple Mount

“The concept of an End of Days, in which God’s kingdom will be established on earth, exists in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, though it’s often suppressed in all three faiths. If there’s one thing that has made it difficult to repress that subversive idea today, it is the existence of the state of Israel. The creation of Israel in 1948 and its conquest of Jerusalem in 1967 aren’t ordinary history: For those inclined to hear them, they’re divine proclamations that the hour is near.” Gershom Gorenberg, from The End of Days: Fundamentalism and the Struggle for the Temple Mount

“In Israel, belief in final redemption has driven the most dedicated opponents of peace agreements. Among Muslims, expectation of the final Hour helps feed exaggerated fears about Israel’s actions in Jerusalem. Belief in the approaching End has influenced crucial events in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Time and again, it has been the rationale behind apparently irrational bloodshed, and undermined efforts at peacemaking.”
Gershom Gorenberg, from The End of Days

"The Jewish historian, Solomon Lurie,  author of the fundamental study of anti-Semitism in antiquity, spoke of a ‘non-territorial Jewish nation-state’. Now this powerful non-territorial state stretching from New York to Moscow
accepted Nazi doctrine as its policy and genocide as its praxis. A good example is provided by the Jewish American law professor from Harvard, Alan Dershowitz, who writes in Sir Conrad Black’s owned Jerusalem Post[ii]: “the first act of [Palestinian] terrorism should result in the destruction of a small village which has been used as a base for terrorist operations. The residents would be given 24 hours to leave, and then troops will come in and bulldoze all of the buildings”. It was the standard practice of Nazi troops in occupied Europe. Provided that Dershowitz and others of that ilk taught American students for a generation, while Black and his comrades-in-arms busily promoted this agenda, it is not strange that the US gives its full support to the Judeo-Nazi war machine. Rumours of the impending US attack on Iraq and Saudi Arabia were designed to freeze the neighbouring Arab nations in the state of horrified expectation." Israel Shamir, from: " Not Another Peace Plan"

The Knights Templars

"The Knights Templar — properly called The Poor Knights of Christ and the Temple of Solomon — were founded during the early Crusades in the 12th century, when they protected pilgrims to the Holy Land, together with the Hospitallers (or Knights of St John). The Templars were so called because they were given part of the former Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem as their headquarters." Richard Owen, from: "Vatican file shows pope
pardoned massacred Knights"

"The Templars...disdained materialism until their arrival in Jerusalem in the early twelfth century on a papal crusade. Eleven knights dug under the ruins of Solomon's Temple for nine years and hit paydirt. Under the Temple Mount the Templars discovered a network of tunnels where the Jewish priests hid their treasures from the marauding Romans in 70 AD. The knights not only uncovered some of the gold and silver described in the Copper Scroll of the Dead Sea Scrolls but the records of the first Jerusalem church of Christianity...." Barry Chamish, from:  Why the PLO is Tunneling Under Temple Mount

"The first Bishop of the Jerusalem Church was Jesus' brother James. He  was aided by Jesus' other siblings, five brothers and two sisters. After the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and dispersed the Jews, James and his family  fled to France, a fact confirmed by the bestselling book Holy Blood, Holy Grail. These descendants of the holy Davidic line had the wherewithal to gain wealth throughout Europe and buy vast properties. Over time they constituted a good chunk of European royalty. While professing whatever religion the state demanded, first
worshiping the pantheon of Roman Gods and later papal Christianity, they secretly practised the Christianity of the early Jerusalem church. These descendants of the priestly line, now called themselves Rex Deus, and passed on their traditions throughout the royal courts of Europe where they ruled. The original Celt church was founded by the Rex Deus, and St.  Patrick of Ireland was a Jew. Other Rex Deus included the Habsburgs, the Stuarts of Scotland and today's King Juan Carlos of Spain, who includes among his titles, Protector Of The Holy Places Of Jerusalem." Barry Chamish, from:  Why the PLO is Tunneling Under Temple Mount

"The Templars returned from their Crusade with vast wealth uncovered under the Temple Mount and initiated a monumental building program in Europe, which ultimately resulted in the construction of over 250 castles
and Gothic churches. They now challenged the papacy for political control of Europe, yet the usually jealous Vatican allowed their power to grow  unabated. Knight and Lomas insist this is because the Templars had a huge advantage over Rome. According to their version of events, the Knights uncovered the original records of the Jerusalem Church and they proved that the Vatican was not practising Christianity as its founders intended. For example, a pope with exclusive rights of divine interpretation was not part of G-d's plan. If the scrolls were made public, they would jeopardize Rome's legitimacy." Barry Chamish, from:  Why the PLO is Tunneling Under Temple Mount

"The Templar Grand Master, Jacques de Molay, was burnt at the stake on the orders of Philip IV of France (known as Philip the Fair), who coveted the Templar order’s land and treasure and began a campaign of dawn arrests and torture in 1307. At least 2,000 Knights were killed in an attempt to obliterate the order altogether. It was revived in the 18th century as part of the masonic movement, which is said to have inherited some of the Templars’ secret rituals." Richard Owen, from: "Vatican file shows pope
pardoned massacred Knights"

"In the fourteenth century, the French king known as Philip the Fair coordinated a purge of the Templars in coordination with the Holy See. Their properties were seized and their leader, in fact the last Templar leader, Jacques de Molay was brutally tortured by crucifixion until he confessed to the alleged sins of his Order. He survived the first round of torture and a linen cloth was placed over him to absorb his blood and keep him warm. This cloth became known as the Shroud of Turin..." Barry Chamish, from:  Why the PLO is Tunneling Under Temple Mount

"The destruction of the Knights Templar is one of the most shameful acts in medieval history. These glorious, extraordinary knights who had achieved and sacrificed so much for Christendom, found themselves offered up - like Aztec human sacrifices - to the greed of Philip IV." H. W. Crocker, from Triumph: The Power and the Glory of the Catholic Church

"Vatican documents have come to light showing that the wholesale massacre of the Knights Templar in the Middle Ages for alleged “heresy, idolatry and sexual perversion” — an episode still shrouded in mystery — took place even though the Pope had exonerated them in a secret trial. The revelation will put pressure on the present Pope, who has asked the Muslim world for forgiveness for the Crusades, to apologise for the persecution of one of the main Crusading orders as well..."Richard Owen, from: "Vatican file shows pope
pardoned massacred Knights"

 "L’Avvenire, the Catholic daily, said that the record of the Pope’s investigation was thought to have been lost when Napoleon looted the Vatican during his invasion of Italy in the 18th century, and that its rediscovery was an exceptional event." Richard Owen, from: "Vatican file shows pope pardoned massacred Knights"

"Barbara Frale, a researcher at the Vatican School of Paleontology, said that the consensus among historians was that Clement V, who was himself French and a former Archbishop of Bordeaux, had been pliant and weak, and had colluded in Philip the Fair’s scheme to wipe out the Templars and seize their fortune. But documents found in the Vatican archives, including a long-lost parchment, proved that the Pope had in fact manoeuvred “with skill and determination” to ensure that his own emissaries questioned de Molay and other leading Templars in the dungeons of Chinon castle inthe Loire in 1308, in what amounted to a papal trial...The Pope had accepted the Knights’ explanation that the charges against them of sodomy and blasphemy were due to a
misunderstanding of arcane rituals behind closed doors which had their origins in the Crusaders’ bitter struggle
against the Muslims, or Saracens. These included “denying Christ and spitting on the Cross three times”, as well as “kissing other men’s behinds”....these were intended to simulate the kind of humiliation and torture that a Crusader might be subjected to by the Saracens if captured. They were taught how to abuse their own religion “with the mind only and not with the heart”. Richard Owen, from: "Vatican file shows pope pardoned massacred Knights"

"Noting that de Molay and the Knights had asked his pardon, the Pope wrote: “We hereby decree that they are absolved by the church and may again receive Christian sacraments.”  Signor Forgione said that the Pope had failed to make this absolution public because the scandal of the Templars had aroused extreme passions and he feared a church schism. Philip IV had de Molay and other Templar leaders put to death before the Pope’s verdict could be published, and it was subsequently lost." Richard Owen, from: "Vatican file shows pope pardoned massacred Knights"

"The modern Templars, whom you refer to in your letter, are but mere magpies in peacok's plumes. The aim of the Masonic Templars is sectarianization, or rather the Christianizing of Masonry, a fraternity which is supposed to admit the Jew, Parsee, Mahometan, Buddhist, in fact every religionist within the portals who accepts the doctrine of a personal god and spirit-immortality According to the belief of a section, if not all the Israelites, belonging to the Craft in America - Templarism is Jesuitism." Charles Sotheran, from "Letter January 11, 1887" quoted in Isis Unveiled by H.P. Bavatsky

"A group of Templars led by the St. Clair clan escaped the French siege by ship and landed in Scotland, a safe port since it was ruled by the Rex Deus member, Robert the Bruce. It must be noted that at his death, Robert the Bruce's heart was transported to Jerusalem for burial. Two versions of what happened to it exist. The first says the deliverers of the heart were captured in Spain, the second insists they made it and the heart lays buried in Jerusalem to this day...the French Templars brought with them the damning scrolls from under the Jerusalem Temple Mount and built a chapel in Rosslyn, near Edinburgh to house them. The chapel, built by William Sinclair (1415- 1482), which exists today, was built according to the specifications of the Herodian Temple and an exact duplicate of the Western Wall was constructed alongside it. To hide their now-banned Templar roots, the Knights formed a new organization, Freemasonry, whose rites were precisely those set down in the scrolls recovered from beneath Jerusalem's Temple Mount." Barry Chamish, from:  Why the PLO is Tunneling Under Temple Mount

"Scottish rite Masonry spread throughout Europe and according to Knight and Lomas, much to the chagrin of the Vatican. In their version of events, in 1717, the pro-Catholic Hanoverian dynasty took over the British crown and ordered vast changes in Masonic rites. The 33 Scottish degrees were reduced to just four in the new English rites and all the secrets within the Jerusalem scrolls were eliminated from lodge ceremonies. However, other writers share a different version of events, insisting the Templars and the Vatican remained partners throughout their public trials." Barry Chamish, from:  Why the PLO is Tunneling Under Temple Mount

"The Scottish Rite, which belongs to an elite branch of Freemasonry known as the Supreme Council of the 33rd Degree, was founded in 1801 at the city of Charleston in South Carolina. Its origins are obscure, but it is generally agreed by Masonic historians that it started in the 1740s in the city of Bordeaux, France and brought to the American Colonies soon after. The idea was to link the normal or ‘craft’ Freemasonry with the elitist medieval order of the Knights Templar, a powerful political and financial organisation that originally was formed to protect the Holy Land --and especially Jerusalem-- from the Muslims. The Knights Templar, in fact, got their evocative name from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, where had once stood Solomon’s Temple, and where these Christian knights had established their first camp during the Crusades." Robert Bauval, from "Masonic attacks unwarranted"
 

"What distinguished those freed temple-builders from other Crusader guilds was that they diffused Islamic propaganda by praising Saladin's army, wearing turbans, using Arabic numerals, paying homage to Muslim folk spirits, and gradually removing Jesus from their body of principles. And they were extremely wealthy. They brought new Muslim customs into Europe, but they ignored the fact that medieval Ottoman forces represented "Antichrist" in the wars against the presence of Christianity in Palestine and Byzantium. When they were finally persecuted in Paris, on Friday the 13th in October of 1307, the Knights Templars were accused of worshipping a severed death head they called Baphomet, which had decayed into a rotting skull. The death head symbol was later displayed as the poison warning of "Jolly Roger," on the flags of all pirate fleets. In the 20th century, Baphomet became the official hat insignia (mark of beast on the forehead) of the Nazi SS." from, "The Hidden Origins of Nazism (3)"

"On March 22, 1312, Clement V dissolved the Knights Templar with his decree Vox clamantis. But the dissolution proved a mere formality to further appease Philip (the Fair). More importantly, it permitted the Templars, in other manifestations to continue enriching the papacy...A subtle provision in Vox clamantis transferred most Templar estates to the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem. In Germany and Austria, the Templars became "Rosicrucians" and "Teutonic Knights."  F. Tupper Saussy, from Rulers Of Evil

The Vatican Gambit

"There is no question whatsoever that the Vatican wants Israel off the Temple Mount and that the Israeli leadership is accommodating its desire.  But the PLO has plans of its own. By the summer of 2000, they began digging under the Temple Mount in earnest. Originally they claimed they were simply expanding a mosque under Solomon's Stables, beneath the Damascus Gate of Jerusalem's walled Old City. However, the huge mounds of earth and artifacts from the Second Temple that were being dumped in nearby wadis betrayed a much more extensive plan." Barry Chamish, from:  Why the PLO is Tunneling Under Temple Mount

"According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahadeen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979. But the reality, secretly guarded until now, is completely otherwise: Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul.  And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I
explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention. Zbigniew Brzezinski, from  "Interview with Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Jimmy Carter's National Security Adviser in 'Le Nouvel  Observateur' (France), Jan 15-21, 1998, p. 76 "

"The years earlier in 1986, CIA chief William Casey had stepped up the war against the Soviet Union... He had persuaded the US Congress to provide the Maujaheddin with American-made Stinger anti-aircraft missiles to shoot down Soviet planes and provide US advisors to train the guerrillas. ...The CIA, Britain's MI6 and the ISI also agreed on a provacative plan to launch guerrilla attacks into the Soviet Socialist Republics of Tasjikistan and Uzbekistan, the soft Muslim underbelly of the Soviet state....Casey committed CIA support to a long-standing ISI initiaitive to recuit radical Muslims from around the world to come to Pakistan and fight with the Afgan Mujaheddin...Washington wanted to demonstrate that the entire Muslim world was fighting the Soviet Union alongside the Afgans and their American benefactors. And the Saudis saw an opportunity both to promote Wahabbism and get rid of its disgruntled radicals." Ahmed Rashid, from Taliban

"The key Administration players were all devout Roman Catholics--CIA chief William Casey, Allen, Clark, Haig,
Walters and William Wilson, Reagan's first ambassador to the Vatican. They regarded the U.S.-Vatican
relationship as a holy alliance: the moral force of the Pope and the teachings of their church combined with their
fierce anticommunism and their notion of American democracy. Yet the mission would have been impossible
without the full support of Reagan, who believed fervently in both the benefits and the practical applications of
Washington's relationship with the Vatican. One of his earliest goals as President, Reagan says, was to
recognize the Vatican as a state "and make them an ally."  Carl Bernstein, from "The Holy Alliance"

"According to Admiral John Poindexter, the military assistant to the National Security Adviser when martial law
was declared in Poland, Reagan was convinced that the communists had made a huge miscalculation: after
allowing Solidarity to operate openly for 16 months before the crackdown, the Polish government would only
alienate its countrymen by attempting to cripple the labor movement and, most important, would bring the
powerful church into direct conflict with the Polish regime. "I didn't think that this [the decision to impose martial
law and crush Solidarity] could stand, because of the history of Poland and the religious aspect and all," Reagan
says. Says Cardinal Casaroli: "There was a real coincidence of interests between the U.S. and the Vatican." "Carl Bernstein, from "The Holy Alliance"

"As an infidel, of course, the Kaiser had no authority to summon Muslins to a Holy War....Indeed, only the Ottoman Sultan himself, in his capacity of Caliph of all Islam, had the authority which was required to issue such an awesome order. It was essential, therefore, that Turkey should ally itself with Germany, regardless of the best interests of its people... But even for the Germans the Holy War raised one awkward question....What ...was a Christian sovereign doing fomenting and funding a Holy War aimed at killing those of his own faith? Peter Hopkirk, from Like Hidden Fire: The Plot to Bring Down the British Empire

“Dean Witter/Reynolds is supposed to be an American corporation. In fact the principal controlling interest is Arab, and they are in turn controlled by the Germans….The most powerful opposition to the German control of the Arabs is coming from the British, not the Americans.” from “Exposing the Nazi International” in Secret and Suppressed edited by Jim Keith

"It is instructive to recall that upon their suppression the Jesuits took refuge in Russia under Catherine, and in Prussia under Frederick, both sovereigns being freethinkers. Not until the French Revolution had frightened all liberal ideas out of the crowned heads of Europe, and the fall of Napoleon enabled the sceptred tyrants of England and the Continent to place their iron heels upon the necks of the people, did the Jesuits once more receive an invitation to resume their activity and their existence as an order. That invitation was coincident with the suppression of all popular liberties, and the enthronement of absolute power." James Connolly, from: "Labour, Nationality and Religion"

"The Catholic church played a major role in President Kennedy's actions. As Korry put it, Kennedy in effect "forged a secret relationship between Latin Jesuits and the Kennedy Administration to fight the spread of Protestantism and freemasonry in Latin America..When you consider that George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Harry Truman were all Masons, you have to ask yourself, "What in God's name [was] the CIA, on orders from our first Roman Catholic president, doing...'" Joseph Trento, from The Secret History of the CIA

 "There is a faction of Jesuits, I call them dove-Jesuits, loyal to Pope John Paul II, along that line of power. These dove-Jesuits are interfering with the Anglo-American-Zionist war plans, and are the ones stopping Israel from laying the temple mount stone at one of Islam’s holiest site. Then you have the Jesuits along the Anglo-American line of power, who are just a bad bunch. The child sex scandals that are going on inside the Catholic Church is deliberate, done by forces along the Anglo-American line of power. These devils are the ones trying to mastermind a coup inside the Vatican. And they hope that such a successful coup will help them achieve their war plans.  Denominations of churches will continue to undergo scandals of various forms, instigated from church warfare. Especially among Evangelicals, Protestants and Pentecostals warring with Catholics. The Evangelicals, Protestants and Pentecostals are apart of the same Anglo-American-Zionist Temple Mount mole. They are being brainwashed to believe from Rothschild’s propaganda interpretation of the bible that the temple must be built, we must have a world war III to cleanse the Earth in order for their messiah Jesus-Christ to return. Then you have Queen Elizabeth II of England keeping the throne warm that Jesus-Christ will sit on." TONZAL, from: "Catholic Church Sex Scandals "

"Opus Dei heavily supported Polish leader Lech Walesa in his efforts to bring down Poland's communist government in 1980. In 1994, it worked hand in hand with Islamic fundamentalists to defeat an attempt by the United Nations to declare abortion a global women's right." Adrian Havill, from The Spy Who Stayed Out in the Cold

"Gerson is the principal author of Bush's most important speeches...  He sees compassionate conservatism as a way to reconcile what he considers the two most vital conservative intellectual traditions: libertarianism and Catholic social thought. "   Ryan Lizzahttp, from Write Hand"

"An inveterate reader, Gerson squirrels away quotes that might ornament a speech, gems both lyrical and obscure. One was by Declaration of Independence signer John Page to Thomas Jefferson during the American Revolution: "Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm?" Gregg Zoroya, from "He puts words in Bush's mouth"

"Thus, Illuminist John Page is telling fellow Illuminist Thomas Jefferson that "... Lucifer rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm." Certainly, this interpretation is consistent with most New Age writings which boldly state that this entire plan to achieve the New World Order is directed by Lucifer working through his Guiding Spirits to instruct key human leaders of every generation as to the actions they need to take to continue the world down the path to the Kingdom of Antichrist." from Cutting Edge Ministries

"Sometimes in life we are called to do great things." George W. Bush said in his presidential inauguaration speech in January 2001. "But as a saint of our times has said, everyday we are called to do small things with great love." It is not known if George W. Bush knew that the "saint" he was quoting was Josemaria Escriva, but certainly the speech - written by evangelical Chrisitan Michael Gerson - and the quoting of Escriva's words, caused hearts to leap inside Opus Dei chapters everywhere."  Adrian Havill, from The Spy Who Stayed Out in the Cold

"If it be objected that Christianity itself, in our time, is no longer understood in its profound meaning, we should reply that it has at least kept in its very form all that is needed to provide the foundation of which we have been speaking. The least fantastic venture, in fact the only one that does not come up against immediate impossibilities, would be an attempt to restore something comparable to what existed in in the Middle Ages."
René Guénon, from Crisis in the Modern World

"In the 1950s, two leading Opus Dei strategists, Rafael Calvo Serer and Florentino Perez-Embid, wrote a lengthy paper proposing that Opus Dei serve as an instrument to regenerate the Catholic Church in countries around the world. They argued that the coming emergence of a revitalized Spain presented the best opportunity to return to a type of conservative Catholicism since the reign of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, in the sixteenth century.” Adrian Havill, from The Spy Who Stayed Out in the Cold

"By 2001, the current Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben Ami was shuttling between King Carlos of Spain and the Vatican. That is where the action is for the Israeli government today, and when things get serious, the focus shifts to Paris where Chirac, the US Secretary of State and Arafat await him. There is no question whatsoever that the Vatican wants Israel off the Temple Mount and that the Israeli leadership is accommodating  their desire. But the PLO has plans of its own. By the summer of 2000, they began digging under the Temple Mount in earnest. Originally they claimed they were simply expanding a mosque under Solomon's Stables, beneath the Damascus Gate of Jerusalem's walled Old City. However, the huge mounds of earth and artifacts from the Second Temple that were being dumped in nearby wadis betrayed a much more extensive plan." Barry Chamish, from  "RABIN'S LAST DOCTOR AND THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR"

"In March 1994, the newspaper Chadashot revealed a most remarkable secret of the Middle East "peace"
process. A friend of Shimon Peres, the French intellectual Marek Halter, claimed in an interview that in May 1993, he delivered a letter from Peres to the pope. Within, Peres promised to internationalize Jerusalem,
granting the UN political control of the Old City of Jerusalem, and the Vatican hegemony of the holy site within. The UN would give the PLO a capital within its new territory and East Jerusalem would become a kind of free trade zone of world diplomacy. Halter's claim was backed by the Italian newspaper La Stampa which added that Arafat was apprised of the agreement and it was included in the secret clauses of the Declaration Of Principles signed in Washington in September 1993." Barry Chamish, from  "RABIN'S LAST DOCTOR AND THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR"

"On January 26, 2001, the Israeli government's television outlet, Channel One, broadcast a video clip secretly filmed under the Shrine of Omar, the 7th century Islamic building which may have been deliberately
constructed over the Holy of Holies, the most sacred prayer room of the ancient Temple. The video revealed a new and massive tunnel aimed directly at the most sacred core of Solomon's and later, Herod's Temples.
The PLO is after not only the treasures buried beneath the Temple to deplete their morally and financially bankrupt regime of terror but must be looking for more scrolls that can be used to blackmail the Vatican and thus get their way in world diplomacy. This is why PM Barak is willing to cede the surface on the Temple Mount to the PLO but insists on keeping Israeli sovereignty below ground. Barry Chamish, from  "RABIN'S LAST DOCTOR AND THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR"

"The Vatican is terrified that the Jews will uncover the truth under the Temple, whatever it may be. It is essential for them that Israel is removed from the Holy Mount. And they are not alone in this desire." Barry Chamish, from  "RABIN'S LAST DOCTOR AND THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR"

In assessing the Bethlehem stand-off,  Father David Jaeger, spokesman for custodians of Catholic sites in the Holy Land, said in Rome, "This is an act of indescribable barbarity. It is a violation of every law of humanity and civilisation. It is a violation of the explicit and repeated public and diplomatic guarantees of the State of Israel with consequences that will be long-term and incalculable."

Building the Temple with Freemasons

"Freemasons consider themselves observers of an unbroken tradition of occult knowledge that begins with the builders of the First Temple, and its founder, Solomon, whom biblical legend has given the character of an archetypal complete being, supreme in both power and wisdom. The rituals of Freemasonry, in which the individual ascends a hierarchy of esoteric lore through progressive initiation, are based on metaphors of the construction and architecture of the temple...." Edward Fox, from Sacred Geometry: a Tale of Murder and Archeology in the Holy Land

"The learned men of the seventeenth century were greatly interested in Solomn's Temple. Theologians, philosophers and other scholars wrote long books about it in Latin. The mathematician and scientist Isaac Newton, was particularly impressed by the temple. Many of his 470 books and writings are on theological subjects and he wrote several about the temple. He considered that Solomon was the greatest philosopher of all time. He seems to have believed that his reading about the measurements of Solomon's temple had helped him to formulate his law of gravity and he was sure that from these measurements it was possible to foretell that Christ's Second Coming would take place in 1948..." Jasper Ridley, from The Freemasons

"The masons and the Dajjal--deceivers are prophesized by Prophet Mohammed. The introduction of masonry in Muslim lands is the upcoming fulfillment of that prophecy. Mustafa Kamal "Attaturk" with the help of masonry destroyed the caliphate ushering the beginning of the Dajjals rule.  The Mahdi will come and destroy the masons and their leaders It is the masons who destroyed Islam although they won't admit it...  fady el-moubayed

"... since 1947 the Jews have returned to the Holy Land. But for the scenario to be completed, a Temple to YHWH must be erected again on the temple mount where now stands the Dome of the Rock Mosque. Certain radical Zionists in Israel are completely ready for the long awaited temple, having all the fittings, including equipment for Old Testament style animal sacrifice, ready and waiting just in case an earthquake or bomb should happen to make the Real Estate available." Robert Brazi, from "Apocalypse Never"

"Freemasonry came to identify even more closely with a cave that can be seen today near the Damascus Gate, which has come to be known as Solomon's Quarries. Masonic initiation ceremonies are now carried out inside it annually, and during the British mandate stones were quarried from the rock inside and used as the cornerstones of Masonic lodges around the world. According to Masonic legend, the ritual implements used by the priests of the temple were hidden in it at the time of the Roman siege of the city." Edward Fox, from Sacred Geometry: a Tale of Murder and Archeology in the Holy Land

"Two weeks after the 1967 Six-Day War which saw Jerusalem and the Temple Mount brought under Israeli control, there occurred the greatest freemasonic meeting in history in London, celebrating 250 years since the founding of UGLE, at which the Duke of Kent was installed as the new Grand Master." from www.redmoonrising.com

"Apart from members of the American based Christian identity movement, whose members recently attempted to lay a ceremonial corner stone at the Temple; would you believe that some of Sharon’s most important allies come from within the British aristocracy and European nobility?  That’s right. Foremost amongst them is the Queens first cousin, the Duke of Kent, who heads the Quatuor Coronati “research” lodge of the Grand Mother Lodge of British Freemasonry. The Lodge has an ongoing operation on Temple Mount itself, run on a day-to-day basis by the Seventh Marquis of Northampton, Spencer Douglas David Compton...  Because the Duke of Kent and Lord Northampton are both adherents of British Israelism: a doctrine that holds that the cream of British aristocracy is descended from one of the lost Tribes of Israel.

According to Lord Northampton: “I think the tradition of the Kabbalah is very strong in England, because I think one of the lost tribes came to England. And I think you can spot them, quite clearly, in old English families. I am sure you can. I know they came to Ireland, then to the North of Wales, and then down into England. And then became some of the oldest families we have.”  In Lord Northamptons view America was also colonised by another of the lost Tribes. “That was all predicted, that one would go to Hyperborea, the land of the north, and one would go across the sea.” He told an interviewer: . . “so I think that America and England got the Two Lost Tribes, and that is why they then, in a very intellectual Jewish way, started to run the world!” It gets even stranger because Lord Northampton is, by his own admission, a practitioner of the Golden Dawn rituals of occultist Aleister Crowley.  Lord Northampton’s right hand man on the Temple Mount project is Giuliano de Bernardo, Grand Master of Italian Regular Freemasonry. In addition to which the notorious Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith director Abe Foxman is also said to be in close collaboration because, according to Di Bernardo: “There are strong relations between B’nai B’rith and Freemasonry.” Rixon, from: "THE FINAL COUNTDOWN....10...9...8...7..."

"Another key figure is architect Leen Ritmeyer, whose work has dovetailed with Quatuor Coronati activities on Temple Mount. And once again some familiar names start to reappear. Ritmeyer’s work on Temple Mount work has been financed by Lord Jacob Rothschild, son of Lord Victor Rothschild, a former head of MI5 and MI6. One other central character in all this is Dr. Lambert  Dolphin, a physicist at the Stanford Research Institute in California. Like many of the participants he sees the proposed Temple Mount venture as the fulfilment of prophecy; others might view it as pure insanity. Nonetheless he remains undaunted by the fact that the Temple Mount project could  precipitate even more bloodshed. In fact he almost seems to view it in terms of sacrifice, the sort of ritual that was once required to consecrate holy ground." Rixon, from: "THE FINAL COUNTDOWN....10...9...8...7..."

" By a terrible twist of fate it is also the most haloed place in Judeo-Christian tradition and, mostly, to neo-Templar secret societies such as the Scottish Rite.  Central to the Scottish Rite rituals are the so-called
Masonic ‘Tracing Boards’, which are usually a sort of sheet placed on the floor of the lodge on which can be seen various symbols representing the Temple of Solomon, the most prominent being two tall pillars, called Jachin and Boaz, leading to a five-pointed star or pentagonal altar known as the ‘Blazing Star’. The ‘Blazing Star’ symbolises ‘Light’ and was sometimes identified to ‘Lucifer’, which is very unfortunate, for it was not meant in this context to be seen in the malevolent sense that this name generally evokes today, but rather to
the classical ‘Lucce-Ferre’ (Lucifer) which means ‘Bringer of Light’ or the ‘Morning Star’ of the Romans i.e. Venus,  and which in the Bible is associated to Messianic events.  Robert Bauval, from "Masonic attacks unwarranted"
 
"But it can easily be seen how, to terrorist groups such as Hamas and Al Qaeda, such and elitist and secret society in America might be perceived as ‘Satanic’, hence the crude name of ‘Great Satan’ allocated by radical Arabs to the United States and it leaders. But to be fair, this ‘Satanic’ link, although of course wrong, is not altogether surprising to see. In 1881, for instance, a huge scam was mounted against the Scottish Rite Freemasons of Charleston by a French author called Leo Taxil, who ‘exposed’ the ‘Satanic’ rituals of this fraternity and named many senior politicians and clerics as being involved. The ‘Leo Taxil Hoax’, as it is know in Masonic circles, caused much bad press for the Masons, and brought a wave of anti-Masonic attacks from the general public and the Church."  Robert Bauval, from "Masonic attacks unwarranted"

"Now the 32 degree rituals of the Scottish Rite (the 33rd is a title and not a ritual) are said to be related to the 32
Paths of Wisdom of the Sephiroth or Tree of Life found in the Judeo-Christian Kabala. The Kabala is a mystical system of learning or initiation based on the idea that the Holy Scriptures, such as the Torah, the Talmud and the Old Testament, are somehow encoded in the ‘language of God’ the key of which (Kabala) was handed to Moses and passed on to  the Jewish sages and Rabbis. Apparently the secrets of the Kabala are in the mystical understanding of the 22 letters of the Jewish alphabet. These letters, which are seen as ‘paths’ or ‘roads’, link up the 10 ‘emanations of God’ that make up the Sephiroth, and thus together they make up the 32
 Paths."  Robert Bauval, from "Masonic attacks unwarranted"

"The same idea, interestingly enough, is also found in the modern esoteric Tarot Cards, which were invented in the 1770s by a Scottish Rite Freemason in Paris, Court de Gebelin. But here is a curious thing: the 31th, 32nd and  33rd degrees, which are the most crucial to the ‘rebuilding’ of the Temple of Solomon, also are found in the actual geographical latitudes or parallels that encompass the modern State of Israel. Modern Israel is, in fact,
contained, as it were, between those latitudes. Indeed, the 32nd degree parallel passes just a little south of the city of Jerusalem."  Robert Bauval, from "Masonic attacks unwarranted"

"0n some certificates of the Scottish Rite 33rd degree, the actual geographical latitude given in degrees is shown alongside the name and location of the issuing lodge indicating, perhaps, some sort of mystical connection between the “Degree” rituals and the geographical latitude “degree” of the lodge. One can easily see, therefore, how radical Muslim fanatics might perceive the creation of the modern State of Israel which they believe was masterminded in secret deals between the Zionist Organisation and F.D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman in the 1940s."  Robert Bauval, from "Masonic attacks unwarranted"

Sinlcairs and Templars

"The headline of yesterday's Sunday Post runs "Scot in Ritual Death Mystery" and concerns an Alisdair Rosslyn Sinclair (good name!) who bears more than a passing resemblance to Richard Branson, the well known railway enthusiast. Anyway, Mr. Sinclair was originally from Arran and made a 5 day visit to Israel in 1988 - he ws arrested as he tried to leave the country and died in police custody (allegedly having hanged himself). When
his body was returned to Scotland for an autopsy it was found that his heart was missing! The article goes onto postulate that Mr. Sinclair was murdered because of his bloodline..."He may not have realised it, but he was
one of the leading members of the Knights Templar hierarchy". A spokesman for the Knights Templar is quoted as saying "We are currently involved in an attempt to remove control of the holy sites of Jerusalem from the Israeli government. We believe they should be administered by the UN and are working with the UN and Nato to achieve this goal" The goal is a laudable one and might solve the Arab/Israeli stalemate." Niven Sinclair,
"Scot in Ritual Death Mystery"

"On Jan. 4, 2001, Colin Grant published a full front page article in the Glasgow Sunday Post. He revealed that the Knights Templar, as descendents the Davidic line believe they have the right to reclaim the Temple Mount as their true heritage: "A spokesman for Militi Templi Scotia, the Scottish Knights Templar admitted to the Sunday Post, 'We are currently involved in an attempt to remove control of the holy sites from the Israeli government. We believe they should be administered by the United Nations and are working with the UN and NATO to achieve that goal.'" Barry Chamish, from:  Why the PLO is Tunneling Under Temple Mount

"It is also now believed that when Alisdair Rosslyn Sinclair met his death, his heart was removed as part of a
medieval ritual.  Mr Sinclair, originally from Arran, made an unexplained five-day visit to Israel in April 1998. He was arrested as he tried to leave the country and died in police custody. When his body was returned to Scotland, an autopsy revealed his heart was missing. The official version of events stated that Mr Sinclair hanged himself in a police cell and that his heart had been taken for closer examination and had been misplaced.  The Israeli health authorities then sent a heart to his family but it was impossible to test it and, therefore, confirm its origin At the time of his death he was described as a resident of Amsterdam who eked out a living as a musician and from making and selling guitars. Now, startling new evidence has been uncovered which reveals that the humble Scottish guitar maker was a direct descendant of a high-ranking family which helped found the Order of the Knights Templar.

"The Order is embroiled in an international battle for the control of the holy sites in Jerusalem, the capital of
Israel. An investigation into Alisdair Sinclair's death was carried out by Israeli author Barry Chamish. Many of
Chamish's findings are backed up by Alisdair's brother. Yesterday Barry Chamish told The Sunday Post, "I have examined every available piece of evidence relating to the death of Alisdair Sinclair. "In my opinion he was murdered and his killing was linked to a greater conspiracy. "After his death in police custody, Alisdair's body was taken to the Abu Kabir Institute of Forensics where an autopsy was carried out.

Last week the Israeli Government launched a massive investigation into Abu Kabir after numerous allegations that body parts from corpses were illegally removed by staff there and sold on the black market for organ transplant.  "But it was pointless removing Alisdair's heart for medical reasons," claims Barry Chamish. "For a start, a heart has to be kept alive via a life support system if it is to be transplanted.

"Even more damning is the fact that in Israel we do not carry out heart transplants. "Alisdair Rosslyn Sinclair was murdered and his heart removed because of his bloodline. "He may not have realised it, but he was one of the leading members of the Knights Templar hierarchy. "The Knights Templar believe they are the rightful heirs to the Christian holy sites in Jerusalem and are  currently involved in a secret battle to gain control of them."Alisdair was killed because he got caught up in this clandestine war. The removal of his heart is part of the Knights Templar tradition. When Robert the Bruce died he asked that his heart be cut out and taken from Scotland to be buried in Jerusalem. In Israel, legend has it that his dying wishes were fulfilled." Colin Grant, from "Victim of secret Holy Land power struggle?"

"Jihad, as a term, cannot be translated as 'holy war', nor can it be translated, as a term, as the word 'struggle'. At best, its legal meaning can be understood as "using military force, where diplomacy fails, to remove the obstacles the Islamic State faces in carrying its ideology to mankind". The aim of Jihad, unlike the Crusades, past and present, is not to forcibly convert the inhabitants of other lands to Islam. Rather, it is to provide them with the security that comes from the application of Islam, leaving them the choice of adopting Islam or keeping their own religions. The affairs of the society however must be run according to Islamic law. History confirms that this is and always has been the role of Jihad, for it was in Muslim Spain that the Muslims, Christians, and Jews were able to live peacefully under an Islamic authority. It was Islam's justice that allowed non-Muslims in the Islamic State to flourish as artisans, writers, and thinkers. from "The Concept Of Jihad In Islam"

“Does Modern Europe appreciate how desperate the Moslem assault was, or what far inroads it made into Christendom? Spain was at last recovered by centuries of hard fighting, but the Inquisition did not get rid of the last rebellious and secret remnant of Mohammedanism there till after eight hundred years. In the East Mohammedanism advanced to the capture of Constantinople within the lifetime of the Reformation. While the Reformation was already in action, it seized Hungary, and as late as the end of the seventeenth century, after Dutch William had ruined Ireland and usurped England, it hung by a hair whether Vienna itself should not be ruled by Islam and the Church of St. Stephen become a mosque; for Vienna was only barely saved by the gallantry of a Polish King, when Marlborough was already approaching middle age, when Louis XIV was growing old, when Newton was publishing his “Principles.”
Hilaire Belloc, from How the Reformation Happened

"The Apocalypse reneged on its promise at the century rollover in the year 1000 A.D. People had sold their
possessions, and given up on the world, to fast and do penances as the hour approached. The only result was
indirect: The economy and productivity of Europe was severely stifled. Work on just about every level of society
(in Europe) slowed to a crawl from roughly 950 AD to 1050 AD. When it finally became evident that Judgment
Day and God's Kingdom weren't coming, work began again on Cathedrals, books were again copied and
illuminated, and a search for the reason why began in earnest. The Crusading excursions and armies sent to the
East may have had this apocalyptic failure in mind. The biggest clue was the Moslem domination of Jerusalem
and the Holy Land. Perhaps the Messiah could not fulfill His obligation without His pre-ordained property. Or so
the thinking went. Also there was a certain fear among theologians that perhaps their dates and predictions
were wrong because of some yet undiscovered information or artifacts. The search for such clues, and Relics,
and the removal of the infidels, were all involved in the creation of the Order of the Knights of the Temple.
Robert Brazi, from "Apocalypse Never"

"During Islamic rule history records neither Jewish nor Christian sites have been violated in Jerusalem rule lasting around 1500 years. History is aware of the Roman persecution of Jews and Christains in antiquity. Muslims recognised the rights of the Christians and Jews in Jerusalem and they were given permission to visit the city and settle there, although under the Crusaders there was a ban on Jewish settlement. If Muslim rule was not tolerant under over a thousand year rule, the wailing wall of the Jews and Christian Holy sites would have been obliterated." Siddiq Ghouse, from "Muslims and Jerusalem"

"In the year 1095 the Catholic Church, aroused by the Muslim encroachments in Palestine, proclaimed a crusade against the Saracens to recover Jerusalem and the Holy Sepulcher. The following year, in the spring of 1096, bands of zealous crusaders led by Monks and soldiers set out for the Holy Land. Many of the crusaders were pious; but there can be no question that many also were runaway serfs, ambitious business men, adventurers, and criminals." Jacob Marcus, from The Jew in the Medieval World: A Sourcebook

"Al-Hakim’s demolition of the Holy Sepulchre spurred the launch of the first Crusade, a military campaign ecreed by Pope Urban II to seize the Holy Land from Muslim rule. The Pope’s call ignited the popular imagination in western Europe, and the capture of Jerusalem in 1099 inspired a new burst of growth in the Christian cult of the Holy Land. The Dome of the Rock, the Islamic shrine built on the site of the Israelite Temple, was now seen as the Temple of Solomon itself, and the place where, in the Gospel narratives, Jesus was presented to the priests. The “Temple” was absorbed into the “way of the cross,” the pilgrims’ tour of the sites associated with the life and death of Jesus. In the Jerusalem of the Crusaders, a new cult of the Temple came into being, established by the Templars – the Poor Knights of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon – a religious military order that mades its headquarters inside the Dome of the Rock. They developed a Gnostic mysticism – secret religious knowledge – based on a sacred geometry of the octogon (after the octagonal shape of the Dome of the Rock) and on a concept of God as the architect of the world, as Solomon had been architect of the Temple.” Edward Fox, from Sacred Geometry: a Tale of Murder and Archeology in the Holy Land

"Hail, then holy city, city of our salvation! Hail to thee, dwelling place of the Great King, whence have emanated all the wonders of ancient and modern times which have rejoiced the work! Queen of nations, capital of empires, see of patriarchs, mother of prophets and apostles, first cradle of our faith, glory and honor of Christianity! Hail, promised land, once flowing with milk and honey for thy first children, thou hast produced the food of life and the medicine of immortality for all future ages. Yes, city of God, great things have been spoken of thee!"
St. Bernard of Clairvaux

"Whilst the holy Abbot of Clairvaux was thus occupied in preaching throughout France, Germany was troubled with violent disorders, which excited his solicitude to the utmost degree. Popular enthusiasm almost always oversteps the prescribed bounds, even when it proceeds from a good motive; it is a difficult matter to preserve it from the influence of human passions; and the people, blinded by frenzy, become cruel, and call for victims to satisfy their fury. At the time of the First Crusade, the impetuous zeal of the soldiers of the cross had been kindled against the Jews, under the pretext of not leaving at home those enemies of Christ whom they were going to attack in a distant land. Upon the occasion of every new expedition fresh scenes of carnage took place; and the second Crusade had no sooner been announced, than a persecution of this kind was declared on all the towns bordering on the Rhine. A German monk named Rodolph left the cell of his monastery to summon the people to exterminate both Jews and Saracens. His vehement words met with a too ready sympathy in all the provinces which he visited. At Cologne, Mentz, Worms, Spires, and Strasbourg, the cries of death to the Jews were mingled with the war-cries of the Crusaders; and the holy cause of Christian chivalry was very nearly compromised by the most culpable excesses." Theodore Ratisbonne, from St Bernard of Clairvaux

"Thus were the precious children of Zion, the Jews of Mayence, tried with ten trials like Abraham, our father, and
like Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah [who were thrown into a fiery furnace, Daniel 3:21]. They tied their sons as
Abraham tied Isaac his son, and they received upon themselves with a willing soul the yoke of the fear of God,
the King of the Kings of Kings, the Holy One, blessed be He, rather than deny and exchange the religion of our
King [Isaiah l4: 19] "an abhorred offshoot [Jesus]....They stretched out their necks to the slaughter and they, delivered their pure souls to their Father in heaven. Righteous and pious women bared their throats to each other, offering to be sacrificed for the unity of the Name. A father turning to his son or brother, a brother to his sister, a woman to her son or daughter neighbor to a neighbor or a friend, a groom to a bride, a fiancé to fiancee, would kill and would be killed, and blood touched blood, The blood of the men mingled with their wives', the blood of the fathers with their children's, the blood of the brothers with the sisters, the blood of the teachers with their disciples', the blood of the grooms with their brides', the blood of the leaders with the cantors', the blood of the judges with their scribes', and the blood of infants and sucklings with their mothers'. For the unity of G'd's honored and awe­inspiring Name were they killed and slaughtered." Soloman bar Samson, from The Crusaders in Mainz, May 27, 1096

Khazars

 "A thousand years before the establishment of the Modern State of Israel, there existed a Jewish kingdom in the eastern fringes of Europe, astride the Don and Volga rivers..." Kevin Brook, from: THE KHAZARS: A European Experiment in Jewish Statecraft

"This mysterious kingdom, which has sculpted our modern world to an astounding (and alarming) degree, once occupied an immense land area of over a million square miles extending from western Hungary/Austria eastward to the Aural Sea, north to the Upper Volga, and its southern region extending to the Caucasus Mountains between the Black and Caspian seas. It was at that time literally the largest country on earth. It has only been in the last several decades,  however, that greater documented evidence from ancient manuscripts has come to light and revealed the astonishing historical truth of this ancient kingdom and its connection to the origins of modern-day Israel."
Greg Felton, from: "Israel: A monument to anti-Semitism"

"The Khazars played a major role in principal wars in the Caucasus region. First, in the early 7th century, they joined with Turks and Byzantines to defeat the Persian state. Then, in the 7th and 8th centuries, they defended the southeastern frontier of Europe from invasion by the Arabs, indirectly allowing Christianity to survive in Byzantium and subsequently thrive in Ukraine. As one of the principal authorities on the Khars, Professor Peter Golden of Rutgers University, wrote in his book Khazar Studies: "Every schoolchild in the West has been told that if not for Charles Martel and the battle of Poitiers there might be a mosque where Notre Dame now stands. What few schoolchildren are aware of is that if not for the Khazars... Eastern Europe might well have become a province of Islam." The subsequent peaceful period in the eastern European steppes has been named the "pax khazarica" since it was the Khazars who enabled various tribes, like Slavs, to expand their settlements and engage in productive activities, free from the threat of warfare and strife." Kevin Brook, from: THE KHAZARS: A European Experiment in Jewish Statecraft

"The remarkable country of the Khazars first entered the Jewish orbit when it allowed Jews to settle in their
land free from persecution. Jewish refugees from Byzantium, Persia, Mesopotamia, and elsewhere flooded
into the Khazar realm from the 8th through the 10th centuries, bringing with them Hebrew literacy, a love for
Israel, the Jewish religion, and technological skill. The Cambridge Document, translated by Norman Golb in
his co-authored book Khazarian Hebrew Documents of the Tenth Century, stated that immigrant Armenian
Jews "intermarried with the inhabitants of the land, intermingled with the gentiles, learned their practices, and
would continually go out with them to war; [and] they [Mideastern Jews and Khazarians] became one people...."
Kevin Brook, from: THE KHAZARS: A European Experiment in Jewish Statecraft

"In A.D. 740, the khagan (ruler) of Khazaria, decided that paganism wasn't good enough for his people and decided to adopt one of the "heavenly" religions: Judaism, Christianity or Islam. After a process of elimination he chose Judaism, and from that point the Khazars adopted Judaism as the official state religion. The history of the Khazars and their conversion is a documented, undisputed part of Jewish history, but it is never publicly discussed. It is, as former U.S. State Department official Alfred M. Lilienthal declared, "Israel's Achilles heel," for it proves that Zionists have no claim to the land of the Biblical Hebrews. Thus what we know as the "Jewish State" of Israel is really an ethnocentric garrison state established by a non-Semitic people for the declared purpose of dispossessing and terrorizing a civilian semitic people. In fact from Nov. 27, 1947, to May 15, 1948, more that 300,000 Arabs were forced from their homes and villages. By the end of the year, the number was close to 800,000 by Israeli estimates. Today, Palestinian refugees number in the millions. Greg Felton, from: "Israel: A monument to anti-Semitism"

"The earliest possible date is Yehuda HaLevi's estimate of 740. Abd-al-Jabbar al-Hamdani and other Middle Eastern writers claim the conversion happened during the reign of the Abbasids. Al-Masudi would have us believe that the conversion took place sometime between 786 and 809. But according to Constantine Zuckerman of the Collège de France (Paris), the Khazars' conversion to Judaism probably took place in the 9th century rather than in the 8th century. This argument has also been taken up by Jonathan Shepard and Kevin Brook, who state that the first record of Khazarian Judaism dates only to about the year 864, and that the Byzantine missionaries Cyril and Methodius upon their arrival in Khazaria in 860 approached and debated with a people whom had not yet adopted full Judaism. It used to be argued that the Khazars could not have sincerely adopted Judaism if they still had good relations with the Christian Byzantines even in the late 8th century. But historical analysis destroys this argument by showing that the decline in the Byzantine-Khazar relationship is tied directly to the time of the Khazar conversion to Judaism, and may be dated as occurring sometime after the 830s." "When did the Khazars convert to Judaism: 8th or 9th century?"

"Unfortunately, in 1016 C.E., the Russians, with the help of Byzantium, crushed the Khazar kingdom and brought
it to a close. What happened to all the Khazar Jews, both the descendants of the converts and the settlers, is
shrouded in mystery. They were certainly dispersed in many of the neighboring lands. It is conceivable,
according to || some scholars, that some of them are the forebears of the Polish and Russian Jews of previous
generations. Who knows? If your ancestors came from these lands, you may have the blood of kings in you - not
David and Solomon, but kings who voluntarily chose to join the fate of a people whose religion they acknowledged as true."  Benjamin Blech, from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Jewish History and Culture

 "Nathan M. Pollock has a beef with the Israeli government. His elaborate plans to celebrate this September the 1,000th anniversary of the Jewish Khozaralliance were summarily rejected. An elderly meek-looking man who migrated to Israel from Russia 43 years ago, Pollock ekes out a living as a translator of scientific texts and proofreader in a publishing firm.  But his great passion, hobby, and avocation is historic research. He has devoted 40 of his 64 years to trying to prove that six out of 10 Israelis and nine out of 10 Jews in the Western Hemisphere are not real Jews' Jews, but descendants of fierce Khozar tribes wich roamed the steppes of southern Russia many centuries ago.  For obvious reasons the Israeli authorities are not at all eager to give the official stamp of approval to Pollock's theories. "For all we know, he may be 100 per cent right," said a senior government official. "In fact, he is not the first one to discover the connection between the Jews and Khozars. Many famous scholars, Jews and non-Jews, stressed these links in their historical research works." Leo Heiman, from: "The Jews That Aren't

"According to Pollock, whose parents came from Poland, if your name is Halperin, Alpert, Halpern, Galpern, etc., you are 100 per cent Khozar. "Alper" menas "brave knight" in the Khozar tongue, and the name was granted by the king to the most distinguished warriors. Names like Kaplan, Caplon, Koppel, and the like, are positive proof of Khozar descent, according to the scholar. "Kaplan" means "fierce hawk" in the Khozar language. Kogan, Kagan,  Kaganovich show aristocratic descent from Kagan, Hagan, King Bulan's chief-minister."  Leo Heiman, from: "The Jews That Aren't

Medieval Quotes about Khazar Judaism

"Christian of Stavelot, in Expositio in Matthaeum Evangelistam (864):

     "At the present time we know of no nation in the world where Christians do not live. For in the lands of Gog
     and Magog who are a Hunnish race and call themselves Gazari there is one tribe, a very belligerent one -
     Alexander enclosed them and they escaped - and all of them profess the Jewish faith. The Bulgars,
     however, who are of the same race, are now becoming Christians."

Abd al-Jabbar ibn Muhammad al-Hamdani, in The Establishment of Proofs for the Prophethood of Our Master
Muhammad (c. 1009-1010):

     "One of the Jews undertook the conversion of the Khazars, who are composed of many peoples, and they
     were converted by him and joined his religion. This happened recently in the days of the Abbasids.... For
     this was a man who came single-handedly to a king of great rank and to a very spirited people, and they
     were converted by him without any recourse to violence and the sword. And they took upon themselves
     the difficult obligations enjoined by the law of the Torah, such as circumcision, the ritual ablutions, washing
     after a discharge of the semen, the prohibition of work on the Sabbath and during the feasts, the prohibition
     of eating the flesh of forbidden animals according to this religion, and so on."

Dimashqi (1327):

     "Ibn-al-Athir tells how in the days of Harun, the emperor of Byzantium forced the Jews to emigrate. They
     came to the Khazar country, where they found an intelligent but untutored race and offered them their
     religion. The inhabitants found it better than their own and accepted it."

Judaism has always welcomed converts like the Khazars into the Jewish fold as equals:

"And when a stranger sojourns with you and will keep the Passover to the Lord, let all his males become circumcised,
and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is a native of the land; for no uncircumcised
person shall eat it. One law shall be to him that is homeborn and to the stranger that sojourns among you." (Exodus
12:48)

"The Jews were dispersed among the nations so as to make converts." (Pesakhim 87b)

"Converts are beloved; in every way God considers them as part of Israel." (Mekhilta Nezikim Mishpatim 18)"
from: "Medieval Quotes About Khazar Judaism"

The Struggle for Israel

"Eventually, in 1875 (the Earl of) Shaftesbury became president of the Palestine Exploration Fund....His mystical belief in Britain's instrumental role in returning the Jews to Palestine - for the sake of Christianity rather than Judaism - was the ideological force behind Britain's increasing political involvement in Palestine throughout the nineteenth century. This involvement could be seen later in British support for Zionism, as expressed in the Balfour Declaration of 1917, and in Britain itself assuming control over Palestine in 1921...." Edward Fox, from Sacred Geometry: a Tale of Murder and Archeology in the Holy Land

"When World War I broke out in 1914, Palestine was firmly in the grasp of the Ottoman Empire. By 1916, there was widespread speculation, even in the secular press, about the restoration of a Jewish homeland if the Turks could be vanquished. By late 1917, events were rapidly moving along those lines. As British forces fought their way into Palestine from the south, Lord Arthur Balfour, the British foreign secretary, wrote to Lord James Rothschild, a leader in international Zionism: "His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best efforts to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that  nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in
any other country." Timothy P. Weber, from "How Evangelicals Became Israel's Best Friend"

"Five weeks after the Balfour Declaration, the Turks surrendered Jerusalem to British forces, virtually without a fight. This sent shock waves through dispensationalist ranks. Here was the most concrete proof ever that the "times of the Gentiles" were coming to an end. It made little difference to dispensationalists that Jerusalem had passed from one Gentile power to another. The important thing was that the British had declared their intention to establish a Jewish state.  If the "times of the Gentiles" were coming to an end, could the restoration of Israel be far behind?  Dispensationalists could barely contain themselves. Arno C. Gaebelein, editor of Our Hope, called the coming restoration of Israel "the sign of all signs." In 1918, dispensationalists organized two well-attended prophetic conferences in New York and Philadelphia, where the real possibility of establishing
a Jewish state got much attention."  Timothy P. Weber, from "How Evangelicals Became Israel's Best Friend"
 

"There's a strong feeling in the Arab world that the West bitterly betrayed the Arabs after World War I, when it broke up the Ottoman Empire. And it was this betrayal that marked the first chapter of modern Western involvement in the Arab world.  When World War I broke out, the Middle East had been ruled for hundreds of
years by the Ottoman Turks, who were allied with Germany. Around 1914, the British encouraged the Emir of Mecca, Sheikh Hussein (great grandfather of Jordan's late King Hussein), to lead a revolt against the Turks in Saudi Arabia, promising independence if he could drive them out. As Arabs see this history, they rose against the Turks and drove them out, but instead of being granted independence, the Arab world was betrayed.
First, the British had secretly accepted a proposal by the Zionist movement to create a homeland for the Jewish people in post-Ottoman Palestine, which would give a good part of the territory to a people who at that time were a minority of the population.  The second thing that happened was that in the 1916 Sykes-Picot agreement, the British and French agreed to divide up the Middle East between them and were mandated by the League of Nations to rule these areas, postponing independence. Needless to say, Arab nationalists have always viewed these events 80 years ago as a betrayal of promises to the Arabs, and as laying the foundations for a Jewish state by force of Western arms." Starcats, from: "The Crusades & Jihad"

"After Hitler's rise to power, immigration from Central Europe accelerated... This development was anathema to the Arabs, who were afraid of losing their numerical superiority in Eretz Israel. They demanded that the Mandatory government call a halt to immigration and ban the sale of land to Jews. When they received no response, they launched a campaign of terror, both against the Jews and against the British Mandate." Prof. Yehuda Lapidot, from "Resistance and Retaliation"

"On May 17, 1939, the British Government published Parliamentary Document 6019, known as the White Paper. This document set out its political aims with regard to Palestine:

          The objective of His Majesty's Government is the establishment within ten years of an
          independent Palestinian State in such treaty relations with the United Kingdom as will
          provide satisfactorily for the commercial and strategic requirements of both countries
          in the future.

In order to guarantee the Arab character of the Palestinian State, immigration was to be restricted so that the
number of Jews in the country would not exceed one-third of the total population. If economic absorptive
capacity permitted, over five years some 75,000 Jews were to be admitted, and at the end of that period "no
further Jewish immigration will be permitted unless the Arabs of Palestine are prepared to acquiesce in it." In
addition to the restrictions on immigration, the document also stipulated limitations on land purchase by Jews in
most of the country:

          there is now in certain areas no room for further transfers of Arab land, whilst in some
          other areas such transfers of land must be restricted if Arab cultivators are to maintain
          their existing standard of life and a considerable landless Arab population is not soon
          to be created." Prof. Yehuda Lapidot, from "Resistance and Retaliation"
 

"1. The Nation
        The Jewish people is a covenanted people, the originator
of monotheism formulator of the prophetic teachings, standard
bearer of human culture, guardian of glorious patrimony. The
Jewish people is schooled in self-sacrifice and suffering; its
vision, survivability and faith in redemption are indestructable.

2. The Homeland
        The Homeland in the Land of Israel within the borders
delineated in the Bible ("To your descendants, I shall give

        2. Establishment of sovereignty.
        3. Revival of the nation.

There is no sovereignty without the redemption of the land,
and there is no national revival without sovereignty.

These are the goals of the organization during the period of war
and conquest:

5. Education
        Educate the nation to love freedom and zealously guard
Israel's eternal patrimony. Inculcate the idea that the nation
is master to its own fate. Revive the doctrine that "The sword
and the book came bound together from heaven". (Midrash Vayikra
Rabba 35:8)

6. Unity
        The unification of the entire nation around the banner of
the Hebrew freedom movement. The use of the genius, status and
resources of individuals and the channeling of the energy,
devotion and revolutionary fervor of the masses for the war of
liberation.

7. Pacts
        Make pacts with all those who are willing to help the
struggle of the organization and provide direct support.

8. Force
        Consolidate and increase the fighting force in the homeland
and in the diaspora, in the underground and in the barracks, to
become the Hebrew army of liberation with its flag, arms, and
commanders.

9. War
        Constant war against those who stand in the way of
fulfilling the goals.

sovereignty and redemption:

11. Sovereignty
        Renewal of Hebrew sovereignty over the redeemed land.

12. Rule of Justice
        The establishment of a social order in the spirit of Jewish
morality and prophetic justice. Under such and order no one will
go hungry or unemployed. All will live in harmony, mutual respect
and friendship as an example to the world.

13. Reviving the Wilderness
        Build the ruins and revive the wilderness for mass
immigration and population increase.

14. Aliens
        Solve the problem of alien population by exchange of population.

15. Ingathering of the Exiles
        Total ingathering of the entire exiles to their sovereign state.

16. Power
        The Hebrew nation shall become a first-rate military,
political, cultural and economic entity in the Middle East and
around the Mediterranean Sea.

17. Revival
        The revival of the Hebrew language as a spoken language by
the entire nation, the renewal of the historical and spiritual
might of Israel. The purification of the national character in
the fire of revival.

18. The Temple
        The building of the Third Temple as a symbol of the era of
total redemption. "

Zionism

"Zionism accepts anti-Semitism as the natural, normal attitude of the non-Jewish world toward the Jew. It does not consider it as a distorted,  perverted phenomenon; it is a response to anti-Semitism, but not a confrontation, denunciation or fight against it." Faris Yahya from:  Zionist Relations with Nazi Germany

"If Britain's policy in Palestine began as half-secularized, half conscious Chritian millennialism, Zionism was a far more self aware transformation of Jewish messianism into a secular political project." Gersom Gorenberg, from: The End of Days

"The harnessing of religious energies is clear in popular depictions of Theodor Herzl, the Viennese Jewish journalist whose Der Judenstaat (The Jewish State) became Zionism's manifesto and who founded the organized Zionist movement in 1897. Herzl was utterly nonreligious. But as a correspondent in Paris, he covered the framing of French army captain Alfred Dreyfus for treason, and the wave of anti-Semitism it set off in France. The afffair convinced him Jews would be safe only if they had a state - "The house which is to shelter the Jewish nation." The phrase is packed: It defines the Jews not as a faith community but as a secular nationality. And it argues for a state as "shelter" - in Herzl's view, an answer to immediaite dangers, not the ideal kingdom of the Last Days." Gersom Gorenberg, from: The End of Days

"Prior to the establishment of Israel, two major terrorist groups moved to the forefront of performing violent acts against civilians. Headed by future Prime Minister Menachem Begin, the National Military Organization, also known as Etzel or Irgun, preached a philosophy promoting the killing and maiming of Arabs in order to drive them out of the land divinely promised for a Jewish state. The other was the so-called Stern Gang, the "Fighters for the Freedom of Israel," also known as Lehi (Neff, 1998). The two groups together were the most active in performing violent acts targeted at Arabs and their supporters. On July 22, 1946, acting on orders from Moshe Sneh of the Haganah General  Headquarters, Begin's Irgun blew up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem. Using the presence of the British military headquarters in the hotel as an excuse, Irgun members dressed as Arabs planted 350 kg of explosives in the basement of the hotel, aiming for the greatest damage possible. After setting the explosive fuses for a 30 minute delay, the Irgun left the building and called the hotel, claiming an explosion was going to occur within the half-hour; however, the hotel management chose to treat the threat as a joke. As a result, the ensuing explosion killed 35 people, including 17 Jews, and leveled the entire south wing of the King David hotel. The Jewish Agency  immediately condemned the bombing in order to avoid retaliation from Britain; however, a year later Irgun admitted that their actions were under the approval of the Haganah . The Jewish residents of Palestine, many of who supported Irgun's radical tactics, now recognized Begin's group as the leader of violent resistance against British rule (Irgun 1); those who didn't were subject to beatings (Neff, 29). Nearly two years later, the Irgun again used explosives to wreak havoc on the Palestinian population. On January 4, 1948, members of Irgun, again acting on orders from the Haganah, drove a produce truck loaded with explosives into the main square of the Arab city of Jaffa.  After retreating to a safe distance, they detonated the truck, killing at least 26 Palestinian men, women and children." Shoaib Kamil, from "Lesser-Known Israeli Terrorism"

" The entire southern wing of the King David Hotel - all seven storeys - was totally destroyed. For reasons unclear, the staff of the government secretariat and the military command remained in their rooms. Some of them were unaware of events, and others were not permitted to leave the building, thus accounting for the large number of victims trapped in the debris. For ten days, the British Engineering Corps cleared the wreckage, and on July 31 it was officially announced that 91 people had been killed in the explosion: 28 Britons, 41 Arabs, 17 Jews and 5 others. The success of the Jewish underground in striking at the heart of British government in Palestine, and the high toll of victims, sent shock waves through England and the rest of the world." Prof. Yehuda Lapidot, from: "The Bombing of the King David Hotel"

"When World War II began, one group of these terrorists, called Irgun Zvai Leumi and headed by future Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, declared a cease-fire with the British. The other group, Lehi, the Hebrew acronym for "Fighters for the Freedom of Israel " tried to ally itself first with fascist Italy, then with Nazi Germany and finally with Stalinist Russia.  Lehi became known as the ''Stern Gang" after its founder, Avraham Stern, who eventually was killed by the British, while his followers killed some 300 British policemen and soldiers. Leadership passed to a triumvirate consisting of Yizernitzky,  Israel Sheib and Nathan Friedman-Yellin. They ordered the 1944 assassination of Lord Moyne, the British governor general of Cairo."   Richard H. Curtiss, from: "Why Did Syria Call Israel's Prime Minister a "Terrorist"?"

"The war and its implications were on everyone’s mind and the Stern Gang began to explain their  unique position in a series of underground radio broadcasts. There is a difference between a persecutor and an enemy. Persecutors have risen against Israel in all generations and in all periods of our diaspora, starting with Haman and ending with Hitler ... The source of all our woes is our remaining in exile, and the absence of a homeland and statehood. Therefore, our enemy is the foreigner, the ruler of our land who blocks the return of the people to it. The enemy are the British who conquered the land with our help and who remain here by our leave, and who have betrayed us and placed our brethren in Europe in the hands of the persecutor.  Stern turned away from any kind of struggle against Hitler and even began to fantasise about sending a guerrilla group to India to help the nationalists there against Britain. [3] He attacked the Revisionists for encouraging Palestinian Jews to join the British Army, where they would be treated as colonial troops,  “even to the point of not being allowed to use the washrooms reserved for European soldiers”.  Lenni Brenner, from:  "The Stern Gang" in Zionism in the Age of the Dictators

"On February 1, 1944, the Irgun proclaimed a revolt against British rule over Palestine and demanded that the British leave the country forthwith and a Jewish state be established. The gradual intensification of military action against the Mandatory government undermined the basis of British rule. These operations, carried out with the Lehi (Fighters for the Freedom of Israel) and occasionally with the Haganah as well, ultimately forced the British government to bring the question of the future of Palestine before the United Nations. On November 29, 1947, the UN Assembly decided to partition Palestine into two states: a Jewish state, the State of Israel, and a Palestinian-Arab state." Prof. Yehuda Lapidot, from: "Introduction"

"Historically the Stern Gang (Fighters for the Freedom of Israel), was "officially" disbanded in 1948, but exists to this day in covert form. In post-war British-mandated Palestine the words Stern Gang equalled "terrorism" - assassinations, bombings, the full works. Even after independence, mainstream Jews continued to regard these Jewish terrorists as an extremist and ultimately insignificant aberration in the Zionist movement - until that is it was revealed that the Likud foreign minister of the 1970s, Yitzhak Shamir, had been the gang's operations commander."

"Both the process of expropriation and removal of the poor must be carried out discreetly and circumspectly." Theodore Herzl, from The Complete Diaries, Chapter 1

"Theodor Herzl wrote that Zionism's twin goals were to allow the Jewish people to "live at last as free men on our own soil, and in our homes peacefully die." And Zionism has achieved the first: a democratic, modern, liberal society, curious, scientific, on the cutting edge of medicine, accountable, transparent, and extremely
plural. (Whatever hardships Arab citizens of Israel endure, they are mostly attributable to the unremitting enmity to Israel of their cousins in the neighborhood; and they are, still, the freest Arabs in the region.) Still, the second goal remains elusive. The Jews of Israel still cannot be sure that they will be allowed to die peacefully in their homes. In fact, the angel of death has intruded on their ordinary civilian lives for more than one century now."
Martin Peretz , from "Murdering Jews, Then and Now"

"In an interview with the Hebrew weekly "Yerushhalyim" published on 1 March and republished by the mainstream Hebrew press this week, Professor Martin Van Creveld, argued that the Israeli army would have to kill tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians in order "to restore the balance of deterrence between us and them."published on 1 March and Van Creveld,  argued that the Israeli army would have to kill tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians in order "to restore the balance of deterrence between us and them." Asked if he would favor bombarding Palestinian cities and causing thousands of deaths among civilians, Creveld answered positively."Yes, as much as is needed in order that there will not be a need to repeat it, so that they  won't tail us during the time of the withdrawal. We have to strike so hard that there won't be a need for a second strike. Perhaps 5000, or 10,000 killed won't be enough and then we will have to kill more." Creveld, who was introduced as a renowned military historian, said mass killing would have to be done so quickly and so strongly that until the world understood what was happening the matter would be over."  He admitted that this would be a crime, adding that being right or wrong wouldn't play a part in this matter.  "What is involved is a massive crime, but whoever isn't willing to commit crimes in order to save his country shouldn't engage in statesmanship, it is better that there be one massive crime after which we will exit and lock the gate behind us."

"It is forbidden to be merciful to them, you must give them missiles, with relish - annihilate them. Evil ones, damnable ones.  May the Holy Name visit retribution on the Arabs' heads, and cause their seed to be lost, and annihilate them, and cause them to be vanquished and cause them to be cast from the world," Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, founder and spiritual leader of the Shas party, Ma'ariv, April, 9, 2001

"To Jews who adhere to ancient tradition, whose number include religious Israeli nationalists, the long-awaited
 Messiah will return to become the king of Israel and high priest of a rebuilt Temple, which can only be on Temple Mount. For Christian fundamentalists, Jesus Christ's return at the height of the battle of Armageddon, in which forces of the Antichrist clash in Israel with a 200 million-man army from the East, will require a Third
Temple from which the Lord will begin a millennial reign. And for Muslims, an Antichrist figure called the Dajal will be a Jew who will lead an all-encompassing war against Islam, which will culminate in the return of Jesus (as a Muslim prophet), the Kaaba, or Sacred Rock in Mecca, transporting itself to Jerusalem, and final  judgment in the valley just below the Noble Sanctuary." Rod Dreher, from: "Red-Heifer Days

"Israel has needed all the friends it can get, and evangelicals have been loyal, productive supporters. When Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982, no one defended it more strenuously in the U.S. than evangelicals. At one time, Israeli prime ministers could count on the strong support of both the U.S. President and the American Jewish community. But the present prime minister has neither. Netanyahu's relationship with President Clinton is strained, and the Jewish community is deeply divided over some policies of Israel's present government.
Netanyahu was correct when he said that American evangelicals are the best friends Israel (i.e., his government) has."   Timothy P. Weber, from "How Evangelicals Became Israel's Best Friend"
