The History and Science of The Moors

*Note* Though we DO NOT AGREE with everything Dr. Booker T. Coleman is saying, he reveals important facts on history.  Viewers, please STUDY and do your OWN RESEARCH and pick sense from nonsense.  As Bob Marley sang, emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds!  Our people must look to the Ancient Ethiopian Culture as their pure guide instead of relying on solely the knowledge from the Moors, Dogon and Kemetic culture.  There must be a reason She, Ethiopia is still the ONLY NATION IN AFRICA WHICH REMAINS UNCONQUERED.

Not everything African or Black in history benefited our people.  Study the Facts before you join any organization or group just because they helped to make great scientific and cultural strides in history.  His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I said, “When all RIGHTEOUS AFRICANS come together, the world will come together for that is our Divine destiny!” He said RIGHTEOUS, being the operative word.  He didn’t say famous, intellectual, wealthy or powerful for only Righteousness shall exalt THIS NATION!  Therefore, we implore all seekers of truth to study for themselves, seek knowledge and when you find it, give it away for free.

This post and videos shine light on the true history and science of the Moors and how they played a role in helping colonial slave masters capture and murder countless in systemic genocides throughout time,  helping to capture and murder children of the Motherland (Ethiopia/Africa) during the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade.  They also assisted during many other wars, such as the Great Ethiopian Genocide during Mussolini’s vicious invasion during the Second Italo-EthiopianWar  and also King Leopold II’s genocide and oppression in the Congo.

The Moors were Muslim inhabitants of the Maghreb, the Iberian Peninsula, Sicily, and Malta during the Middle Ages. The Moors were initially of Berber and Arab descent, though the term was later applied to Africans, Iberian Christian converts to Islam, and people of mixed ancestry.

As early as the Middle Ages, “Moors were commonly viewed as being mostly black or very swarthy, and hence the word is often used for negro,” according to the Oxford English Dictionary. Notice how they wear the red FEZ HATS AND VEST, as often featured with MONKEYS used as circus acts for tricks and beaten by masters with sticks and whips if they did not perform.

 In 711 the Moors invaded the Iberian Peninsula from North Africa and called the territory Al-Andalus, which at its peak included most of modern-day Spain, Portugal, and Septimania.

The Moors occupied Mazara on Sicily in 827, developing it as a port, and they eventually consolidated the rest of the island and some of southern Italy. Differences in religion and culture led to a centuries-long conflict with the Christian kingdoms of Europe, which tried to reclaim control of Muslim areas. In Spain this conflict was referred to as the Reconquista.

In 1224 the Muslims were expelled from Sicily to the settlement of Lucera, which was destroyed by European Christians in 1300.

The fall of Granada in 1492 marked the end of Muslim rule in Iberia, although a Muslim minority persisted until their expulsion in 1609.

The term “Moors” has also been used in Europe in a broader, somewhat derogatory sense to refer to Muslims in general,  especially those of Arab or Berber descent, whether living in Spain or North Africa.  

During the colonial era, the Portuguese introduced the names “Ceylon Moors” and “Indian Moors” in Sri Lanka, and the Bengali Muslims were also called Moors.

Moors are not a distinct or self-defined people.  Medieval and early modern Europeans variously applied the name to Sub-Saharan Africans, Arabs, Berbers and Muslim Europeans.  

In the modern Iberian Peninsula, “Moor” is sometimes colloquially used for any person from North Africa, though some people consider this use of the term pejorative.

In Spanish the term is “moro”, and in Portuguese it is “mouro”.

The “Moors” of Europe

Etymology

Variants of the term “Moor” have been used by many Europeans since ancient times as a general description for indigenous Africans. Contrary to popular belief,
the term is not synonymous with “Islamic” or any specific Arab or African religion, civilization, or ethnicity.

The artist, Christopher Wren (1632-1723), specifically entitled this painting, “Le Maure”, French for “The Moor”

The origin of the English term, “Moor,” is the Greek word, “μαυρο” or “mavro” which literally means “black, blackened or charred” and has long been used to describe black or very dark things such as, “Mavri Thalassa” which refers to the Black Sea or “mavri spilia” which means “black cave.”  Ancient Greeks used the term to describe the complexion of Africans and (even today, some Greeks use “mavro” to refer to Africans, although in a pejorative manner).

One need not be a linguist to see the word’s evolution from the Greek “mavro” to the Latin word, “mavrvs” (actually, “mavro” in the ablative, singular, masculine Latin form). The English transliteration is “Maurus” and the plural form is “Mauri,” specifically used by ancient Romans in reference to Black Africans. Writers in both Greek and Latin specifically used the term as a racial identity.

In the Epitome de Caesaribus (390s AD), we learn that Aemilianus was “a Moor by race.”
Procopius of Caesarea (500-565 AD), a Byzantine scholar who wrote in Greek, said in his History of the Wars, “beyond that there are men not black-skinned like the Moors…”

Even through the middle ages, the term (as well as the Spanish, “moro,” the German “mohr,” the Dutch “moor” etc.) continued to be used in reference to Black Africans. In one of the oldest Dutch texts (1300s AD),
a Moor was described specifically as “black.”

An image entitled, “Habit of a Moor of Arabia,” from Thomas Jefferys’ A Collection of the Dresses of Different Nations (1757-1772)

Further proof of the true definition of the Latin term “Maurus” can be found in early English-Latin dictionaries:

– “Maurus” was synonymous with “Moor,” “negro,” and “Aethiops” in John Etick’s A new English-Latin dictionary (1783)

– In A new Latin-English dictionary by William Young (1810), “Maurus” is a “black Moor”

– According to the Ainsworth’s Latin Dictionary, Morell’s abridgment by Alexander Jamieson, Robert Ainsworth (1828), “Maurus” means “black Moor”

The English term “Moor” also meant “Black” in English dictionaries and encyclopaediae prior to the 20th century:

– “Moor” meant “negro” or “black-a-moor” in A Dictionary of the English Language (1768) by Samuel Johnson

– The Encyclopaedia Londinensis (1817) by John Wilkes lists “moor” as follows: “[maurus, Lat. μαυρο, Gr., black.]
a negro; a blackamoor.”

– John Olgilvie’s The Imperial Dictionary of the English Language (1882), a Moor was a “black man or negro”

Somehow by the 20th century, “Maurus” and “Moor” suddenly transformed into Berber and Arab — a grave contrast to historical precedent.

Moors In Ancient and Medieval European History

The oldest depiction of St. Maurice in the Cathedral of Magdeburg, Germany

The ancient Romans thoroughly documented the lives of indigenous Africans to whom they commonly referred as the Moors. By the 4th century AD, the Roman army
heavily recruited Moors for their exceptional skill in battle. One such Moorish general, Aemilianus (207-253 AD) as described in Epitome de Caesaribus (390s AD), was so skilled that he was made emperor in the Roman province of Moesia (Balkan peninsula), albeit for only 4 months’ time.

Other skilled Africans were made Catholic patron saints, such as the popular St. Maurice or Mauritius in Latin as described in the Passio Martyrum Acaunensium (The Passion of the Martyrs of Agaunum) by French bishop St. Eucherius (434-450 AD). According to the text, St. Maurice lived around 286 AD and was believed to be part of the Theban Legion of Egyptian Christians who served in the Roman army under his command. St. Maurice’s brigade was supposedly decimated for disobeying orders to kill Christians in Roman Helvetia (Switzerland). The oldest known physical representation of him, however, was not created until 1281 AD (a detailed statue now housed in the cathedral of Magdeburg, Germany; shown on the right).

A copy of Tabula Peutingeriana, the oldest known Roman map of northwest Africa (300 AD)

Neither Aemilianus nor St. Maurice were from so-called “Mauretania” (Latin: Mavritania) which is erroneously believed to be the name of an ancient Roman province along the northwestern coast of Africa. This particular region was neither called “Mauretania” in any known ancient literary text nor was it named after the so-called “Mauri tribe,” as many modern historians believe. “Mauri” is merely the plural form of the Latin transliteration, “Maurus,” as mentioned above. The oldest known map of that region (shown at right) shows its name was Tingi (or Tingitana in literature). Instead, Roman Catholic writers of the 5th-9th centuries AD used “Mauretania” synomymously with all of Africa, not any one particular region.

A well-known Catholic saint from Africa was Victor Maurus or Saint Victor the Moor, a martyr who supposedly lived around 303 AD (the date of the oldest known depiction of him might not be reliable since the church in which it is found, the Basilica of Saint Victor near Milan, was reconstructed several times and then nearly destroyed in World War II). The life of another African Catholic martyr, St. Zeno of Verona, was first recounted by 7th century Italian author, Coronato who affirmed that Zeno was an African native.

By 470 AD, following the fall of the Roman empire, Africans slowly began repopulating southern Europe, and by 711 AD, General Tarik ibn Ziyad al-Gibral (or Tariq bin Abdullah bin Wanamu al-Zanati), an Islamized African native whence the name, “Gibraltar,” is derived, led a major invasion beyond that same peninsula. His fortress (shown below) is the earliest known medieval castle in Europe, built centuries before those of the Loire Valley in France. According to legend, the phrase, “Thank heaven for 711” comes from the overwhelming sentiment of relief experienced when Moorish civilization permeated the Iberian peninsula (Spain, Portugal and Andorra) and Southern France and replaced primitive Visagothic feudal serfdom. For over 750 years, the Moors would lead Spain into an unprecedented era of freedom of association, religion, education and enterprise.

In early 2015, a photo emerged showing Ghislaine Maxwell at the wedding of Chelsea Clinton to Jewish investment banker Marc Mezvinsky in July 2010.

Trump and Mossad arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi

Khashoggi with wife Lamia at Donald Trump’s wedding to Marla Maples at the Plaza Hotel in New York in 1993.

On November 10, 1988, in the midst of the fallout from the Iran-Contra scandal, of which Adnan Khashoggi is believed to have been involved, Donald Trump appeared on the David Letterman show and revealed that he had purchased a “$200-million” yacht (the Nabila) from the Saudi billionaire and arms dealer, who was recruited by Israel’s Mossad for various arms deals and false-flag operations[xx]. Nabila is the daughter of Khashoggi and his then wife Soraya (Sandra Patricia Jarvis-Daly), whom he married when she was 17. Khashoggi is implicated in so many international conspiracies that it would be futile to begin discussing them here. Being tied to so many conspiracies, it’s not surprising to learn that he is tied to the Meyer Lanksy organized crime syndicate, which played a leading role in the murder of President John F. Kennedy. Outrageously, Khashoggi has romanced JFK’s widow Jackie and contributed to Richard Nixon’s 1968 presidential campaign (Trump hatchetman Roger Stone, about whom we shall learn more in Part II, was a Nixon ‘dirty trickster’). Khashoggi is tied to the Warren Commission, which was appointed to coverup the conspiracy to murder JFK, through Joseph A. Ball, who represented Khashoggi in his 1980 divorce from Soraya. Khashoggi’s penchant for women and high rollers is not unlike Donald Trump’s. Khashoggi went on to marry another 17-year-old, Laura Biancolini, who converted to Islam, changed her name to “Lamia” and gave birth to Kahosggi’s fifth son, Ali, in Palm Beach, Florida, home of Trump’s Mar-A-Lago club. Hopsicker says he has information from a Palm Beach source that Trump gave Khashoggi shelter from INTERPOL at Mar-A-Lago when Khashoggi was under indictment for defrauding Thailand’s second largest bank. What’s more, Khashoggi attended Trump’s wedding to Marla Maples at The Plaza Hotel in New York City, December 20, 1993. Maples was Trump’s second wife after the divorce with first wife Ivana in 1992. Interestingly, the Trump-Ivana wedding was ministered by 33rd degree freemason Norman Vincent Peale. The mason Peale also presided over the wedding of Trump’s sister Maryanne. There’s a strong possibility that Trump himself is a freemason. Trump considered Peale his mentor, perhaps a fraternal mentor in the masonic brotherhood?

Interestingly, Khashoggi may be in cahoots with self-appointed conspiracy king Alex Jones, who just happens to be the biggest media cheerleader for Donald Trump at the moment, despite Jones previously suggesting, through Paul Joseph Watson, that Trump was a “ringer for Hillary”. As I documented in my article exposing Jones’ deep Israeli connections, Khashoggi appears to be tied to the 9/11 truth movement through John Gray[xxi]. He is also tied to the Bin Laden family. (See more Khashoggi-9/11 connections in my article “The Growing Complexity of Alex Jones’ Israeli connections”.) As we shall see in Part II of this series, the Trump-Khashoggi-Nixon-Jones-Lansky ties will come full circle, with a couple of more characters stepping onto the stage.

Fayed and Princess Diana.

The death of Princess Diana was believed by many to be an Mi6-Mossad assassination. Some theories suggest that the establishment didn’t want the Princess of Wales to be carrying the child of a Muslim, one Dodi Fayed, who became romantically involved with her in July, 1997, only a month before her death on August 31. Fayed is the nephew of Adnan Khashoggi. He died alongside the Princess that night in the Pont de A’lma underpass in Paris, a city rife with Mossad activity. It is certain that the marrying of Diana to a Muslim would not have fit the Mossad’s geo-political goals for the UK and the royal family at that time. And Mossad, without a doubt, was at least spying on the couple during their affair, if not masterminding the hit itself.

Khashoggi and “lieutenant” Ramy El-Batwari

Investigative journalist Daniel Hopsicker describes Saudi Ramy El-Batrawi as Adnan Khashoggi’s “lieutenant”[xxii]. The two were involved in, among many other schemes, a stock manipulation scandal involving their company Genesis Intermedia, which, incidentally, may be tied to Alex Jones’s Genesis Communications Network, which broadcasts his Infowars show.

“…Ramy El-Batrawi supplied one of SkyWay’s twin DC-9’s,” explains Hopsicker. “Once I’d obtained the FAA registration records for the two DC-9s…it became obvious that both planes had been sheep-dipped through a number of owners of convenience to hide the identity of their true owners, the CIA.”

Hopsicker goes on to detail the Khashoggi-El-Batrawi pyramid of CIA (and Mossad) front companies, with ties to Iran-Contra and 9/11. He also points out that Jewish American businessman, lawyer, and Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald T. Sterling set up a bogus event, supposedly through his Donald T. Sterling Homeless and Medical Center, to honour Ramy El-Batrawi as humanitarian of the year for his support of the homeless in Los Angeles.[xxiii]

“There was no “Donald T. Sterling Homeless and Medical Center”, back then, just for starters,” writes Hopsicker. “Nor is there one today. No institution. No employees. No Board of Directors to mull over who (sic) to choose for next year’s award.”

On June 19, 2014, a tweet was sent out from what is believed to be El-Batwari’s Twitter account with a photo from the bogus event. In the photograph are, among others, Batrawi, supposed 9/11 truther John Gray, and Ivanka Trump! Ivanka must have been there on her father’s behalf. Then, on February 15, 2016, El-Batrwai tweeted another photo, presumably from the same event, of he and Ivanka. Nate Rothschild, slated to become the fifth baron of the infamous Jewish dynasty, has reportedly had flings with both Ivanka Trump and Adnan Khashoggi’s step-daughter Petrina. Ivanka has since married Jewish American businessman Jared Kushner and converted to Judaism herself. In fact, almost all of Donald Trump’s children are married to Jews.

FORMER AGENT-AUTHOR IS TRAITOR AND HIS BOOK IS FULL OF LIES, ISRAEL SAYS<BR>

Israel came out on the attack against a former Mossad agent Friday, portraying him as a traitor and his book on the intelligence agency as packed full of lies, a day after the government lost a U.S. court case to ban the expose’s publication.

Canadian-Israeli Victory Ostrovsky, who wrote “By Way of Deception: The Making and Unmaking of a Mossad Officer” with Canadian journalist Claire Hoy, maintains he is a victim of a vicious slander campaign by the Israeli government. Ostrovsky has said unidentified Israeli operatives offered him vast sums to halt the book’s publication and he feared the agency would kill him.”By Way of Deception” threatens to confront Israel with its biggest intelligence embarrassment since Mordechai Vanunu, a technician at Israel’s top-secret Dimona nuclear plant, revealed in 1986 that Israel had stockpiled weapons-grade plutonium. Mossad agents lured Vanunu to Rome from London, kidnapped him and brought the Israeli back home, where he was sentenced to 18 years in jail.

Among the allegations in the book, Ostrovsky says the Mossad knew in advance of the 1983 suicide bombing of the U.S. Marine headquarters in Beruit in which more than 240 Americans were killed. Ostrovsky says the Mossad failed to notify the United States beforehand because it hoped the attack would ruin U.S.-Arab relations.

Avi Pazner, Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir’s media adviser, denied the allegation and said Israel did not know about the plot to blow up the U.S. Marine headquarters.

The book also provides code names for Mossad units, agents and hit squads around the world and in several European cities. Among the names listed is billionaire Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, who the book says is a former Mossad middleman.

The Israeli mass-circulation Ye-diot Ahronot newspaper provided readers Friday with details from the book under a screaming headline, white lettering against a black background – “Secrets of the Mossad. These are the agents. These are the methods.”

Last week, Israel received an injunction in Ontario to ban the book’s distribution in Canada at least until Sept. 17. Israel received a similar injunction Wednesday in the United States, but the victory was short-lived because a New York state appeals court lifted the lower court’s ban on the book’s distribution Thursday.

In attempting to ban the book, Israeli officials have said the government believed there were details that could harm the security of Israel and Israelis. But on Friday, Avi Pazner, Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir’s media adviser, characterized the book as “nothing more than a compilation of lies, half-truths, invention, very few facts and very sick imagination.”

In his book, Ostrovsky writes that a unit known as “Al,” Hebrew for above or on top, operates in the United States with 24 to 27 employees and “is so secretive, and so separate from the main organization, that the majority of Mossad employees don’t even know what it does and do not have access to its file on the computer.”

The book’s other claims include:

-The Mossad bugged the home of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United Nations in 1978 and discovered that Andrew Young, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, was holding talks with PLO officials there. The Mossad leaked the information, forcing Young to resign.

-A French Mossad agent placed a homing device in the Iraqi Osirak nuclear reactor, enabling Israel’s precise 1981 bombing of the facility. The agent died in the attack.

-The Mossad repeatedly forged the signature of former Prime Minister Shimon Peres and brought down the government of Yitzhak Rabin in the 1970s by leaking information about his wife’s illegal foreign bank accounts.

The Dark Road Ahead (Part One)

What’s in the offing as US law enforcement investigates the Catholic Church

Part One of a Five Part Series

By Beverly Stevens, REGINA Editor

Image by John La Maestra

She’s spent a career getting up close and personal with predators and their victims.

‘Cathy’ was a Special Deputy to an agency investigating narcotic trafficking for ten years. An RN with a master’s in psychology, she now works as a consultant to US law enforcement agencies, interviewing subjects as well as victims. She also coaches law enforcement working on undercover assignments, especially those that involve human trafficking.

For Catholics wondering what is going on behind the scenes with dioceses responding to law enforcement investigating the Catholic Church in 15 US states and at the Federal level, Cathy’s insights are quite timely. 

*Not her real name. REGINA’s interviewee asked to remain anonymous in order to protect law enforcement agents working in the field. 

Here’s the first in our five-part series:

REGINA:  People tell us that there’s little or no talk in their diocese about this and assume this means there’s no ‘problem’. Is this a safe assumption to make?

CATHY: This is absolutely NOT a safe assumption. Predators depend on silence. With predators we have long known that the four things they depend on the most are silence, threats, rewards, and in the case of some victims a willingness or desire to protect others. . I’m also very concerned about the lack of people’s understanding that their parish and diocesan property is at risk; even if nothing can be proven to have happened there, just because it’s part of the Church.

REGINA:  What is law enforcement finding to be the case with laity and clergy in Catholic dioceses? 

CATHY: With Catholics, especially really good Catholics, we are finding that silence is often aided by their desire to not gossip and a fear of making false accusations against anyone, let alone someone they have been raised to respect and not question. 

REGINA: US dioceses appear to be following a prescribed course of action in dealing with the public uproar about this. First, there’s the ‘listening sessions’. What purpose does this serve? Is it possible they are trying to identify possible troublemakers? 

CATHY: This might be their intent, however it is a very ineffective way to go about attempting to out abusers of any kind. It’s unlikely for the majority of the population to make any kind of public accusation against someone they are being or have been abused by.

REGINA: Why is that?

CATHY: Most victims, no matter the age at which they were abused, tend to feel responsible for their own abuse. Feeling that they either did something to ‘deserve’ being targeted or they are embarrassed that they ‘allowed’ the abuse to happen.

REGINA: What do ‘listening sessions’ accomplish – if anything? 

CATHY: It might be more effective for dioceses to address publicly the things that victims go through and maybe then after some time send members of the diocesan staff out to various locations for people to report fears, concerns or actual crimes to the diocese.

Listening sessions work well for law enforcement however, in that they are public events and an officer/agent can be sent to them to listen into the feeling and activities of various parishes and the diocese itself. 

 REGINA: Wow, one has to wonder if this has occurred to the bishops. Next there’s the releasing of lists of the credibly accused, the lion’s share of which are deceased or laicized. Does this mean that there are no current cases? 

CATHY: This is probably one of the least effective things that any diocese does. From the law enforcement point of view, releasing information on an abuser who has been laicized and is living is good, in that it may encourage someone else abused by the same man to come forward and may result in more charges, or even first time charges being brought against this offender.

REGINA: So, a priest predator who has been laicized and is just living out there on their own is still a danger?

CATHY: Abusers rarely stop until they are prosecuted and imprisoned.

REGINA: And these ‘credibly accused’ priests were often accused decades ago. 

CATHY: These names need to be released as soon as the investigation results in the determination that there’s a credible accusation. From the psychological stand point these lists are good in that they permit other abuse victims to see that they were not the only victim of this man. Frequently someone who was abused over an extended period of time is lead to believe they are the only one, which is why some victims believe that by being abused they are saving others from the same fate.

REGINA: But that’s not why the bishops are releasing these lists.

CATHY: No. For the most part they are an attempt for the bishops to try and make the laity believe they are listening to their concerns.

NEXT: Bishops’ legal culpability, a scary level of distrust amongst the clergy, how predators network and what law enforcement is doing behind the scenes.

Part Two here.

The Dark Road Ahead (Part Two)

What state and federal investigations are uncovering in the Catholic Church

Part Two of a Five Part Series

Part One here. 

By Beverly Stevens, REGINA Editor

She’s spent a career getting up close and personal with predators and their victims.

‘Cathy’* was a Special Deputy to an agency investigating narcotic trafficking for ten years. An RN with a master’s in psychology, she now works as a consultant to US law enforcement agencies, interviewing subjects as well as victims. She also coaches law enforcement working on undercover assignments, especially those that involve human trafficking.

For Catholics wondering what is going on behind the scenes with dioceses responding to law enforcement investigating the Catholic Church in 15 US states and at the Federal level, Cathy’s insights are quite timely. 

*Not her real name. REGINA’s interviewee asked to remain anonymous in order to protect law enforcement agents working in the field. 

In this second in our three-part series, Cathy discusses bishops’ legal culpability, a scary level of distrust amongst the clergy, how predators network and what law enforcement is doing behind the scenes. 

REGINA: Bishops are releasing the diocesan numbers trained to address sex abuse, the vast majority of which are lay people. Bishops are not required to be trained. What do you make of this?

CATHY: There’s a very simple and legal reason for this. Bishops are not required to be trained because it then puts them in a position, legally, to not be culpable for what is covered in the training.

REGINA: Wow.

CATHY: A prime example of this was when one bishop in a Missouri case said in a deposition that he “didn’t know if it is illegal for a priest to have sex with a minor.”

While it’s pretty much common sense that in most cases it’s illegal for any adult to have sex with a minor, since he wasn’t trained, most likely never went to law school, didn’t train as a law enforcement agent, even if he has that common sense, he gave the legally correct answer.

REGINA: Incredible.

CATHY: This is something that needs to change. It’s good that laity is trained, it’s important for everyone who in anyway functions as a representative of the Catholic Church to be trained to know what is abuse and what is not including bishops. For example. while most people believe it’s illegal for anyone 18 or older to have sexual contact with anyone under eighteen, almost every state has set their laws on this up with an approximation clause. These allow sex between minors and adults in situations where there is a limited number of years in the age difference. The most that I am aware of is five. So, unfortunately there are situations in which a 20 year old can legally be sexually active with a 15 year old.

REGINA: Fifteen states and the federal government are investigating the Catholic Church now. What kinds of crimes is law enforcement looking at in the USA?

CATHY: Currently I am aware of various law enforcement agencies looking for cases of sexual abuse. This includes a variety of crimes against minors, but also cases involving rape and prostitution of adults.

It’s much harder for men to admit to being victims of these crimes; it is extremely important that everyone understand that men can be and are raped and prostituted.

Other crimes that are being looked into included drug trafficking, money laundering, embezzlement, human trafficking and crimes committed by American citizens outside the US.

REGINA: What kinds of crimes committed outside the USA?

CATHY: Many people are unaware that it is illegal for any American to travel to any other country and abuse its citizens. While an American can travel outside the US and hire a prostitute where it is legal, it’s against US law for them to travel to another country and sexually assault any of its citizens, take part in any kind of trafficking or break many other American laws. 

REGINA: We have heard of groups of priests vacationing in Mexican resorts which cater to sex tourism. Is LE tracking this behavior?

CATHY: At this point the travel activities of anyone who is suspect are being tracked, not only their current travel activities, but those in the past and their future travel plans. This information can lead to vital information as to other locations that an offender is committing crimes. It can also give information on other kinds of crime that individual might be involved in.

REGINA: Some foreign priests have expressed fears that they will be targeted by unscrupulous bishops. Are they a flight risk? What about priests who are US citizens? Will their passports be revoked?

CATHY: Anyone with a passport and means is a flight risk. Foreign priest could definitely be at a risk of being targeted by not only unscrupulous bishops, but by any brother priest who is involved in criminal activity.

Generally there are few people who want to go to prison and they generally will do anything they can to avoid it. There are in fact passports that have already been revoked and in some situations interstate travel has been restricted. In some cases clergy are currently not permitted to be transferred to locations outside of their existing diocese.

REGINA: What should priests do if they fear being targeted by prelates who are themselves involved in unscrupulous behavior? 

CATHY: With priest who are aware of unscrupulous and/or illegal activity I would advise them to also contact law enforcement. There is however one issue in the event of a priest who is aware of these activities and the criminal is aware that a particular priest is aware of their activities. Not all, but many will make a confession to that priest, thereby putting him in the situation of breaking the confessional seal if he were to go to law enforcement. 

REGINA: Is it true that predators form networks? What do they use them for?

CATHY: It is very true that predators form networks; this allows them to exchange information on places they can safely find victims. It also allows them to trade victims; to know where they find prostitutes, what victim(s) might be okay with this, but not with that sort of sexual activity.

REGINA: They get very detailed, then.

CATHY: Oh yes. Networking gives predators a way to safely communicate with others about their crimes without being concerned about getting reported to law enforcement. It gives them a place to feel that they are not alone and while I hate saying this, to feel ‘normal’. A night out in a nearby city’s bar that attracts young males or females with three other predators can be very empowering.

REGINA: What else?

CATHY: These networks can also lead to information regarding resources for other criminal activity, such as making a predator aware of how they might be able to become a part of drug trafficking, and there by earn extra money for their own activities.

REGINA: So they can make money. 

CATHY: Networks also can unfortunately — and this is a big one — help them to be aware of law enforcement activities. While a local parish priest might not be aware that the young man or woman he is looking at with interest is the child of a law enforcement agent, the one from the next town over might be fully aware of that and happy to share the information and save a friend.

*Not her real name. REGINA’s interviewee asked to remain anonymous in order to protect law enforcement agents working in the field. 

In this third in our five -part series, Cathy talks about typical victim profiles, why sex crimes go unreported for decades and what life issues the victims of predator priests are likely to face.

REGINA: Is there a typical victim profile that predator priests go after?

CATHY: We have found that in many cases victims come from situations in which there is little or no involvement of a parent or both parents in a child or young man’s life. (About 80% of these cases involve men.) The young men especially, generally are missing a strong father figure. These are/were the kids that always get dropped off for religious education and Mass, and then picked up afterwards.

They are the kids who might always come with another teammate or friend to the sports games. The parent or other family member never attends.  There are also kids and adults from backgrounds where they have been abused or neglected by family or friends of family.

We, as a society often hear how important it is for children to have both a mother and a father who have an active role in the child’s life; I can’t stress how truly important this is. If a child isn’t getting proper love, support, discipline, etc. within their family they will seek it outside of the family and might pay a horrible price for it.

REGINA: Often these crimes go unreported for decades.  Why is that?

CATHY: There are a few reasons this happens. Generally the biggest reason is the threats that are made by the perpetrator of the crime. In the majority of cases the perpetrator will make threats against the safety of the victim; they will do this in regard to the victim telling anyone and also to get the victim to allow the abuse to continue. Threats might include threats to harm the victim, their friends and/or their families.

REGINA: Whoa.

CATHY: This ultimately leads the victim in many cases to view the continued abuse as something they have chosen to allow as well as making them believe that by allowing themselves to be the victim they are protecting others.

They have it ingrained to them that if they tell mom, dad, the neighbor. That person will be harmed or killed and their sibling or friend will then face the same horrible thing they are going through.

In the first instance I can’t stress how unlikely that is to happen, mostly because these men generally have high opinions of themselves and feel that their word will always be taken against an accuser.

Unfortunately, the second is generally already happening, as it’s rare for a predator to only have one victim at a time.

REGINA: So they have multiple victims at once?

CATHY: Yes. The third reason these crimes go unreported — and this is especially true with men — is embarrassment. Most everyone is embarrassed to be the victim of a crime. This is true of a young man who is molested as well as the elderly couple next door who just got scammed out of their life savings.

REGINA: Makes sense.

CATHY: The fourth reason — and this addresses those situations in which someone has tried to report the abuse —  generation after generation has been raised to believe that there are certain people who can do no wrong: priests, ministers, doctors, nurses, law enforcement officers, firefighters.

REGINA: Okay…

CATHY: So there we are first in a situation where the victim believes they did something, it’s their fault, and then once they have the courage to come forward and say something, they get told that they imagined the abuse. This is ‘gaslighting’.

Plus, if they are older, they ‘wanted it’. Why? Mom and everyone in the parish really liked priest X. It’s been practice and still is in some places that if a diocese provides any kind of care and support to a victim they have them sign a non- disclosure agreement and never admit the fault of the priest or the diocese.

 REGINA: What life issues do victims often face as a result of priestly predation? 

CATHY: Most commonly victims of priestly predation experience difficulty in forming relationships. They are likely to become withdrawn from family and friends. They generally develop psychological problems, such as depression, OCD, or oppositional defiance disorder.

It’s common for them to have drug and or alcohol addictions; these might have begun during the abuse because both are frequently used as both an aid to the abuse and as a reward.

A victim may continue to attend Mass, even when it is their choice, but the abuse often causes at minimum a reduced faith — often they completely lose faith.

They become angry and abusive themselves. This abuse often may not take the form of predation; it’s more common for them to because physically or mentally abusive to those around them. Suicide is fairly common; men commit suicide about 50 times more often than women.

How the Mc Carrick case tipped off law enforcement

*Not her real name. REGINA’s interviewee asked to remain anonymous in order to protect law enforcement agents working in the field. 

 In this fourth in our five -part series, Cathy talks about what the Mc Carrick revelations signaled to law enforcement, how they are ‘mapping’ predator priests and the drug trafficking that authorities believe is taking place in America’s Catholic rectories. 

REGINA: What does US law enforcement think of the career of Mc Carrick and was that the tip-off to this series of investigations?

CATHY: The career of Mc Carrick is a clear signal to LE that this is a systemic problem. Far too many people had first-hand knowledge of what was happening and turned a blind eye to the situation.

REGINA: Scary.

CATHY: His is a clear case in which others were complicit in his abuse of others and could have possible aided him in that abuse. Not only by covering up for him, but by procuring victims for him, supplying locations for the crimes he committed to take place, funds for his various travels.

REGINA: Terrifying, and infuriating.

CATHY: It’s extremely difficult to not be angry at how Mc Carrick was in many ways rewarded for his behavior. There are many aspects of Mc Carrick’s career that indicate it’s probable that he and other members of the clergy likely did and still do take part in a variety of crimes — included but not limited to embezzlement, money laundering, and multiple forms of trafficking.

REGINA: What’s law enforcement’s view of all this?

CATHY: It is because of this and the fact that looking at the histories of other criminally active priests it became apparent that the Church didn’t hesitate to move priest from state to state or even country to country if they thought it was the best way to protect him and the Church’s assets.

Mc Carrick’s career was a big tipoff as to how much the Church as a whole is covering for these men, and along with the PA report were ultimately the determining factor on the need for a Federal investigation.

Unfortunately in many of these past cases where the diocese ‘handled’ everything, law enforcement was never notified about the person, even after it was determined that the man was creditably accused.

REGINA: We have heard that LE is ‘mapping’ networks of predators. What sort of connections are they looking for?

CATHY: LE is looking for connections between any known predator and others as well as groups already known to be involved in criminal activity. Such connections would be with organizations that traffic drugs, any type of human trafficking, prostitution rings, and organizations that launder monies.

REGINA: What sorts of drugs is law enforcement finding?

CATHY: The drugs most commonly found connected with predation, prostitution and human trafficking are Cocaine, Methanphetamine, opioids, Ecstasy, Flunetrazepam, Rohypnal, Temazepam and GHB.

The last four drugs are all classed as ‘date rape drugs’. They are very strong benzodiazapines and produce states that include memory lapses, and in some cases a coma that resolves somewhere between two and eight hours after the drug takes effect.

Something to note is that Meth is on a noticeable increase again recently after years of decline. It’s also being found laced with opioids, most commonly fentynol.

Fentynol can be fatal in even the smallest amounts. To give people an example of just how fatal Fentynol is, if you put a little bit of table salt in your hand and pick out two grains — that is equal to the amount of Fentynol that can kill an adult.

She’s spent a career getting up close and personal with predators and their victims.

‘Cathy’* was a Special Deputy to an agency investigating narcotic trafficking for ten years. An RN with a master’s in psychology, she now works as a consultant to US law enforcement agencies, interviewing subjects as well as victims. She also coaches law enforcement working on undercover assignments, especially those that involve human trafficking.

For Catholics wondering what is going on behind the scenes with dioceses responding to law enforcement investigating the Catholic Church in 15 US states and at the Federal level, Cathy’s insights are quite timely. 

*Not her real name. REGINA’s interviewee asked to remain anonymous in order to protect law enforcement agents working in the field. 

In this last in our five -part series, Cathy discusses what Catholic employees and parishioners need to be aware of: 1) What a federal crackdown will mean for them financially; 2) What addiction to sex drugs looks like physically and in terms of behavior and 3) What they should do to report wrongdoing – and the risks they take in choosing not to do so to law enforcement.

REGINA: If and when law enforcement succeeds in establishing a credible pattern of criminality within the US Church, is it possible that all Church assets would be frozen?

CATHY: It’s not only possible, it is probable that much if not all of the Church’s financial assets within at least the US would be frozen. It’s also possible that the Church’s physical assets could be seized. 

REGINA: What would this mean for Church employees?

CATHY: Unfortunately for the employees of the Church having the Church’s assets frozen would mean that they would not be able to be paid, their benefits would not be able to be paid for. For the average Catholic this would also mean that their parish’s bills could not be paid.

REGINA: What telltale physical signs should we look for in people using Cocaine, Methamphetamine, opioids, Ecstasy, Flunetrazepam, Rohypnal, Temazepam or GHB?

CATHY: Someone losing a good amount of weight in a short period of time, or changes in their demeanor. That is, someone who is always friendly and outgoing might become short with others and seem more withdrawn.

Also the development of acne in someone who has always had clear skin, and/or discolorations of teeth– either a severe yellowing or even a grayish brown. Appetite loss when there’s no known reason for this to happen.

Some people using just about any of these drugs might become easily agitated for absolutely no reason. You might see odd behaviors, such as a sudden obsession with something, such as insects, especially human parasites. Someone always touching their nose or mouth.

People on cocaine will generally develop cold-like symptoms. Some people on meth not only develop the sores that look like severe acne and dental problems, they frequently will develop an nearly insatiable thirst.

Opioid abusers can lose weight, become extremely unstable in attitude, frequently lashing out at others for no reason. They also can cycle from being very tired to being very energetic in short amounts of time. 

REGINA: Any behaviors that should make us suspicious?

CATHY: I look for people who start having personality changes, such as mood swings, a kind of Jekel and Hyde persona.

REGINA: And in a priest?

CATHY: Things I would be looking for if I was concerned my priest was involved in abuse is the same person or type of person being around the parish far more frequently that they should be.

It might be the same teenage boy who isn’t a member of the parish and who isn’t involved in a parish sponsored activity, or working in some way for the parish. This would also be applicable to a young man who is a parish member.

Many abusers have a specific type of person they seek out, this might not just be an age range. There’s probably a problem if someone notices a lot of young men who are blue eyed with blonde hair, or young men who are six foot tall or taller, really muscular, with brown hair.

REGINA: Wow, didn’t know that.

CATHY: Another thing that should be watched for is unidentified persons showing up in large numbers, appearing one at a time and staying only for a few minutes.

Often, too, people may find that they are unable to get in touch with their priest when they would normally expect to, such as emergencies in evenings, over night etc.

REGINA: If employees of dioceses or other Catholic organizations suspect or know of wrongdoing, what should they do?

CATHY: If an employee is aware of or suspects that any member of the clergy or any other employee is involved in criminal activity that information should be given to the FBI as soon as possible.

REGINA: Really? Isn’t that a bit extreme?

CATHY: It’s important that everyone understand that the Catholic Church is now being investigated as a criminal organization on the federal level. This includes all entities within the Catholic Church, not just the dioceses. It’s the goal of law enforcement to bring an end to all of the criminal activity within the Church on every level.

REGINA: What if what they see is not criminal per se? 

CATHY: It’s important for suspicious activity to be reported to law enforcement because most offenders are pretty good at concealing their activities.

It’s impossible for the majority of people to know what information law enforcement already has and even if law enforcement isn’t already aware of there being suspicious activity at a given location the information that one person has just might be the piece of information needed to completely connect a large part of this activity and allow the government to bring RICO charges, and be able to effect the end of a lot of the illegal activity within the Church.

REGINA: So you’re saying that people should leave the decision as to what is or is not illegal to the FBI professionals?

CATHY: Exactly. It’s also important that individuals not try to confront someone who is involved in criminal activities, because this can be very dangerous. Individuals need to be safe — turn over information they have and allow law enforcement to determine if there is or isn’t anything criminal going on and not try to make that determination on their own.

REGINA: Is it true that if they do not report wrongdoing, employees can be charged as accessories to crimes?

CATHY: If an employee is aware of a crime being committed, then yes, even if they are not a part of the crime, there is a possibility of their being charged as an accessory. If they have taken part in a crime, even if they aren’t truly aware that the activity is or leads to a crime, they could possibly be charged.

REGINA: Very scary for employees.

CATHY: That said, law enforcement in much more interested in finding and charging those who are active criminals. This is another reason why it is vital for anyone out there who knows anything related to these crimes contact the FBI office that is closest to them.

REGINA: How can people report wrong-doing?

CATHY: There is an FBI tip line, though the primary drawback to contacting this tip line is that the information you call with might take weeks to reach the correct investigator or might never reach them at all. An example of this is that the Parkland School shooter was reported to this line several times prior to the shooting in February. (Editor’s Note: The FBI also has field offices in major cities, which can be found HERE)

REGINA: If people know of priests accused of sexual abuse being re-assigned to parishes, what should they do? How about if they are re-assigned outside the USA?

CATHY: If anyone has information on a priest who is an abuser being re-assigned to another parish, different diocese or outside of the US it is extremely important that they report this information immediately.

Abusers simply don’t stop abusing once they start until they are either physically unable to abuse any longer and this generally means that they are arrested and imprisoned.

Meet Australia’s Gun Control Tzar who just so happened to work for George Soros! Can Everybody see the Zionist hand in everything yet?

Dr. Behind Port Arthur Gun

Control Now In Maryland

By Stewart Beattie

Recent news reports from out of America’s East Coast of a “sniper” shooting unarmed people in Maryland and Virginia caused me to take a second look at part of an article I’d written earlier in 2000, about a “star” of the gun control network, Doctor Rebecca Peters, who coincidentally went to Baltimore as soon as her task “down under” was done.

In Australia the “gun control” compact deployed as a network of NGOs, but also they were strategically grafted into our Administration in the Attorney General and Justice Departments. Duncan Kerr (Labour) was the Minister responsible for the Department of Justice who over saw the appointment of one Daryl Smeaton, charged with the drafting of new gun laws, for the States and Territories to enact – as early as November 1995.

The National Coalition for Gun Control (NCGC) was based in Sydney, but had an important branch in Hobart, Tasmania, headed up there by lawyer Roland Browne, while in Melbourne a “sister” organisation, the Coalition for Gun Control (CGC) was run by John Bruce Crook.

Prior to 1996, Crook was involved in a defamation action in Melbourne, and in that trial it was reported that none other than Daryl Smeaton presented the Court with a supportive character reference for Crook.

But it was in Sydney where Rebecca Peters rose to prominence, arriving in 1981, ‘with a man she met travelling,’ and apparently lived in Cairo prior to her arrival. While Peters says “she decided” to settle Down Under and become an “Australian citizen,” I’m caused to remember those famous words, ‘In politics nothing happens by chance. If it happens, it was meant to happen that way’.

Apparently Rebecca was from a young age, bent on saving the world.

Born in 1962, Peters grew up as a teenager in Costa Rica, the second of six children in an American family. As her father worked for the American Government there, ‘half jokingly,’ she suggested in an interview in Australia he “probably worked for the CIA.”

At age 15 years while attending an “alternative school” in Costa Rica, Peters was educated by itinerant “young hippies”.

It was during this new-age education she became “obsessed with changing the world.”

In Sydney, Peters enrolled in a university in the faculty of Engineering (possibly Macquarie), being just one of only two females in the course, but in 1983 she dropped out.

For a time Rebecca took a job as a researcher and reporter with ABC Radio (known locally as the “Gay-BC”), worked with Andrew Olle, but soon found the nature of journalism, ‘too disposable’.

In 1991 with a not-so-subtle agenda, Peters returned to university, enrolled as a law student gaining her law degree, at the end of which, she produced a thesis on ‘tighter gun control’.

This was the “centrepiece” of an enormous folio of material she collected and wrote for her campaign to remove loop-holes in existing gun laws in Australia.

She promoted herself as a ‘multilingual middle-class lawyer’ who was fanatical about “gun control”. 2

By `91 Peters was running the NCGC, rising fast to the position of “chair”, almost as quickly as the death rate climbed with each incident of that new phenomenon to Australasia, the gun massacre.

Undoubtedly her success in this new global calling was to the delight of her best friend the feminist activist Eva Cox and Peters’ mentor Charles Watson, Professor of Public Health at Wollongong University, who admired her for her ‘intellectual thoroughness.’

In a remarkably short time she quite brilliantly bull-dozed aside the entire weak, (some treacherous), and fragmented firearm owner, sporting shooters’ groups, and almost surely was surprised by her success with the shooting massacres producing a ‘win-win sound-bite’ for the minds and meek support of the gullible Mums and Dads of Australia.

Dunblane massacre occurred on 13 March `96 and Port Arthur followed 46 days later.

Then all the pieces fell into place for Federal Attorney General, Daryl Williams, to implement the gun-ban laws prepared and ready in November of 1995 by Daryl Smeaton. Job done, it was off to the “Big Apple” for Peters.

But a point to remember, while Rebecca Peters was “down-under”, 6 shooting massacres occurred in Australia and New Zealand resulting in 76 deaths and 53 wounded people.

In “gun control” here, Peters was no doubt – numro uno. Curiously though since Peters left, the shooting massacres have ceased! None in the last six years. And private firearms still abound.

In New York, Rebecca Peters hit the pavement ‘running’ and is immediately associated with Desmond Riley of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence – part of the NAACP crowd involved in ‘crafting a gun control strategy’ for “curing gun ownership” – their words.

Shortly it was announced that Peters was awarded (if you believe their own news releases, or if logic is your guide, rewarded may be the more appropriate word), with a Senior Fellowship in March 1997 by the Soros Foundation’s Open Institute funded Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research in Merryland.

So the good citizens their should perhaps keep her Australasian achievements in mind.

In making application for her fellowship, Rebecca had to ‘submit a budget’ for her envisioned work – forgive me from chuckling. Can you imagine her difficult task here?

Think of a big digit add lots of zeros and voila – a budget!

You may wish to drop a line to the Doctor so here is her working address: The Center on Crime, Community and Culture, 400 West 59th Street, New York, NY10019.

Or perhaps you may wish to forward a congratulatory e-mail to < rpeters@sorosny.org >.

Rebecca’s doctorate included a stipend incidentally of US$32,500 p.a., plus various expenses covered in her ‘budgeted’ expenses, the lot bankrolled by the tax-exempt Soros Foundation.

Her citizenry disarmament program is far flung, and includes Australia, New Zealand, the sub-continent, South America, Great Britain and Europe: she’s a true-blue “globalist”.

First on the list after jetting out of Australia though, was her close involvement in organisation of the ‘Million Mom March’ and in reports of this event, her trademark outlandish unsubstantiated claims regarding crimes, firearms and related deaths appeared on cue.

Easily destroyed later by reputable writers, but once the lie is said, truth inevitably is the casualty.

Before leaving Australia though, her name was noted alongside that of her NCGC Hobart colleague (now chair of NCGC), Roland Browne on a University Paper entitled, Australia’s New Gun Control Philosophy: Public Health is Paramount. 3

But I find it remarkable, that even although in Australia she’d been granted citizenship, Peters’ American roots were emphasised.

Now in America, Dr Peters is always reported as being ‘an Australian gun control expert’ – a weird twist don’t you think.

In America, the Million Mom March staged on Monday 15 May 1996, on the Mall in Washington, was in Australia lauded ‘a raging success’.

But even with wall-to-wall major media publicity, numbers were in fact a long way short of the hoped-for million. Hillary and Bill Clinton were of course on tap for the regulation photo-shoot, not surprising really.

As it was reported that the rally was ‘conceived by Donna Dees-Thomases’, supposedly just a concerned ‘New Jersey housewife’.

However it was reported that in fact Dees-Thomases was a ‘high-powered CBS publicist who at one point worked for CBS anchor Dan Rather’.

Even of more interest in this same report was the claim that the lady ‘is the sister-in-law of Susan Thomases’, who was lawyer, political advisor and confidant of Hillary Clinton, the then First Lady. 4

For Rebecca Peters, her 1996 schedule was quite hectic. It was crunch year and on 13 March at Dunblane primary school in Scotland, 43-year-old Thomas Hamilton, shot dead 16, wounded 13 and then shot himself.

Fifteen of the sixteen dead, and ten of the thirteen wounded were all children. Energetically publicised by their chums in the Media, Dunblane was in the scheme of disarmament, the precursor to Port Arthur massacre in Tasmania, Australia.

At Port Arthur on 28 April 1996, 35 people died and 20 were wounded in the first convoluted terrorist shooting massacre in this nation.

In the massacre, the murder of Nanette Mikac and her two daughters was said by the CNN’s John Raedler in the EMA papers to be the classic win-win, sound bite.

Raedler scurried down to Tasmania from Sydney to capture that win-win, sound bite. I’m caused then to wonder how would uncivilized people evaluate Dunblane?

However, in relation to both massacres it should be remembered it was Rebecca Peters’ colleague, Roland Browne, now chair of NCGC, who predicted a shooting massacre in Tasmania in November of 1995, and quite remarkably again made a repeated prediction on the “A Current Affair” TV show, straight after Scotland’s Dunblane Massacre.

But then anti-gun proponents in Australia seem to have this remarkable psychic skill.

For in Tasmania’s capitol city Hobart after a Special Premier,s Conference in relation to Gun Control held in December of 1987, NSW’s then Premier, Barry

“No-gunsworth” Unsworth stated bluntly:

“There will never be uniform gun laws in Australia until we see a massacre in Tasmania.”

Port Arthur massacre was the catalyst for subsequent reciprocal visits across the globe by some of those closely involved with victims of both shooting murders.

But with Peters in America, in the, Washington Mall, just 9 weeks after Dunblane massacre, three mothers; Kareen Turner, Alison Crozier and Karen Scott, who each lost a daughter in the Dunblane murders, featured in the Million Mom March.

Now while we all probably sympathise with their personal loss of young innocent children, in Washington they marched along smiling and waving.

I wonder who paid for their return flight to America and similarly other flights to Australia, and conversely the Port Arthur survivors to Dunblane?

Dr Peters also flew to Dunblane in August of 1996 ‘to deliver messages from Port Arthur survivors’ it was reported at the time.

The network of Peters’ and her NGO’s the global Gun Control Network, are well funded and conveniently placed, as the synonym suggest – outside of governmental restraints.

I would be astonished if it was proven her Australian network had not received a generous helping of Institute hand-outs to disarm our good people in 1991- 1996.

To example the extent of these amassed fortunes, one such “funder”, the Joyce Foundation, was reported as granting between 1993 and 1997, some $13.2 m, for distribution among 55 ‘gun control’ organisations. John Hopkins is bank-rolled to sustain disarmament battle by such “funders” as the California Wellness Foundation (CWF), Gerorge Soros’ Open Society Institute and the Public Welfare Foundation, just three of the well-endowed tax-exempt funders supporting the global gun-grabbers.

George Soros, Open Society Institute funds gun control networks on a national scale across America, but indeed globally, in 33 countries.

One should be surprised if Australia didn’t figure high on this list. Open Society also gave the Violence Policy Center $1.2 million in 1997 to expand its anti-gun efforts. 5

Like Joyce, CWF treats gun violence as a public health problem that requires government regulation just as Peters did in Australia.

Sadly every good citizen Peters disarms effectively produces one more potential victim of criminal misdeeds, a point obviously not overlooked by her.

As it was observed by the then leader of the Australian Democrats, Cheryl Kernot, that Peters always went out of her way to keep a discreet distance from victims of gun crime, as she was ‘sensitive to the emotional implication.’ 6

I wonder if disarmed potential victims ever crossed her mind while accepting her Human Rights award from Dame Roma Mitchell?

As I mentioned Peters went to John Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, and first to their Violence Policy Center. Interestingly, my investigations show Rebecca’s doctorate is somewhat tainted, as if such principals would matter to Dr Rebecca.

Back in August of 1987, John Hopkins University was heavily involved in promoting food irradiation, even although the process was banned by the West German Government in 1958, and the American FDA in 1968.

But not to be deterred John Hopkins organised a forum to promote publicly a ‘balanced view’ with 20 guest speakers. However the seminar had to abandoned, when speaker number 20 exposed the other 19 speakers not only heavily biased to promote this disposal system for nuclear waste as “safe” with all of them involved heavily in the nuclear industry.

It should come as no surprise to learn that John Hopkins in 1986, received funding of a reported $317m American “defence dollars”!

What level of “Arms and Military” funding does John Hopkins receive today that in any way assists the works of Dr Peters and her ‘arms-grabbing’ cadre? 7

Now returning to the scene in New South Wales for a moment. Before Rebecca Peters flew out to her allotted ‘battle ground’ in America, she had one important task to complete here.

The Parliaments of Australia are legislatures with limited powers. They are not supreme. The right to keep and bear arms and use them is a right beyond the powers of Parliament.

Six hundred years ago people didn’t trust government, and it would appear nothing has changed.

So armed Government willing to use force – legitimised by Doctor Peters and her network – are in truth, hell-bent on closing that “loop-hole” in gun laws which are basic individual freedoms that with “clubs” they are intent on closing!

This single fact assured that there would inevitably be a legal challenge mounted by some section of our citizenry that would surely win in the courts.

So in New South Wales, as the Government proclaimed “gun buy-back,” began to effect the citizens a previously formed Concerned Citizens Association in the Hunter Valley, sought legal opinion as to how best to mount a case against government to have this iniquitous “law” quashed.

The global “gun control” network had no intention of suffering such a set back.

Its network tentacles obviously penetrated the very fabric of society at many different levels. Peters and company certainly had a very effective “grape vine” network.

The legal advice was no sooner prepared and delivered to the client Association, than word was received by the Association’s executive that Peters – remember in her own estimation a “middle class” lawyer, a very junior solicitor – had already been given an audience before the autocratic NSW Bar Association, a quite extraordinary accomplishment in itself.

I have learned that it was directly as a result of Rebecca Peters addressing that eminent group of staid gentlemen which caused them to immediately pass a motion which effectively bound them, that should a legal challenge be launched against the 1996 gun law changes in Australia, the Bar Association would mount a strong campaign to defeat such a legal challenge and apparently “free legal services” were promised to aid in defeating any such challenge, which is perhaps why in the courts of Australia, survivors of the Port Arthur massacre seeking redress have a devil’s own job in getting their case to Court.

When Port Arthur and its “fruit” are considered alongside what has occurred especially in Canada what is building – fast – just south of the border should cause all Americans a deal of concern. In Canada a not-so-discreet Canadian Liberal Party Senator, Sharon Carstairs let the cat out of the bag some time back with her witnessed as pointing out before the Community Legal Education Association, that the new gun law is the lynchpin in her party’s plan to “socially re-engineer Canada”. 8

Her revelation prompted journalist Lorne Gunter of the Edmonton Journal, to write, “The Liberals believe [the draconian gun law] would re-engineer Canada, and especially male gun owners, making its citizens more docile.” Continuing he wrote, “When lawmakers trample centuries-old liberties without an overwhelming social good, in return then respect for the law dies and the rule of law along with it.” 9

Summary:

As I edited this article, news came to hand that a tenth victim had been shot and killed in Washington. On the same television news I saw were 10 people were killed and 34 injured in a 24-plus vehicle pile-up on Interstate 13, near Milwaukee: they died a grizzly, fiery death – but to a wider public such incidents are fill-in news items. They cause no widespread trauma, certainly nothing equivalent in any way to a win-win sound bite such as results from the gross uncertainty of the Washington sniper. Just the same as the Port Arthur massacre. Those who employ Hegelian dialectics against their fellow man for political gain play trauma as a finely tuned tool, to control a nation, just as 9/11 did to many nations. Trauma is an extraordinarily efficient agent, deployed to deliver control to the State through voluntary surrender by the people of their inalienable rights and freedoms.

Is it too hard to look at history? Not so long ago the Tavistock guru’s Aldous Huxley and Timothy Leary under the wing of Capitol International Airways (CIA), created the first “somatotomic serial killer” Charles Manson. Hence the spate of earlier school yard shootings in America, and this latest sniper program prompts me to quote the following for your consideration:

“In a quite almost invisible way, OSS-CIA assessment methods transformed our basic notions about human nature. Thirteen million youths were screened, selected, trained in complex skills, behaviour-modified by means of psychological techniques. In the future, both war and peace were to be based on our knowledge of the brain. Intelligence became the key to survival in the future. Psychology became the new science of human engineering.” end quote. 10

This morning’s latest “breaking news” of the huge bomb detonated in the Bali township of Kuta resulting in upwards of 184 killed and ‘hundreds’ more wounded reminds me of the above article. Official reports here are suspect to say the least. After the Port Arthur Massacre, how can any Australian trust our present crop of politicians. For in the scheme of gun control delivered by politicians, I must remind you: there is no trigger guard or safety-catch on politicians.

But of one point I can be certain; Dr Peters has not deserted her latest field of operations, Baltimore and the District of Columbia, and the gun control network is not going away either. So, in these uncertain times it is Okay to be unarmed, but if you love freedom with a passion – should you be so reckless as to allow yourself to be disarmed?

Out of Africa Theory Has No Home

‘Out of Africa’ Theory Has No Home:

Sixty-Five Years and two Continents Apart With a Shared Australian Ancestry

By Steven & Evan Strong

This chapter is all about and inside one academic paper and a newspaper article. The paper is recent and is the product of one of the most respected archaeologist in the world, the other contribution features a highly qualified geographer from a much earlier time. They are separated by close to sixty-five years and completely different strands of science, yet for all intents and purposes come out the same. Put together, this may seem totally unrelated, however, the reality is that despite the many superficial differences the narrative, participants and underlying content is primarily the same with one location, Australia, being the only constant.

Archaeologist Christopher Stringer’s paper, Rethinking “Out of Africa,” is as much a defense of the belief modern humans originated in Africa as it is a concession that there are many anomalies that he never successfully melds into the current thinking nor can he dismiss. Stringer does not directly deal with the genetics, presence or evolution of Homo sapiens sapiens, his focus is elsewhere in that he is trying to find ways, some very convoluted, to accommodate quite a lot of contrary evidence found within three strands of hominins into his preferred choice of an African evolution.

The First Inconvenient Hominid Candidate

First up, on this list of inconvenient findings, is the least troubling candidate whose position alongside or on the edge of the Homo sapien tree is semi-tenuous at best. Stringer opens his investigation with an acknowledgement that Neanderthal’s ancestral place is nowhere near as secure as most have assumed and is far more “complicated”(1) and “extraordinary”(2) than initially claimed. Stringer is inclined to allocate a nearby accreditation for Neanderthals noting that “you could argue that they’re an extreme variant of homo sapiens, but a very different ‘race’ from anyone alive today, or, as I prefer to argue, they’re a separate species, with a separate evolutionary history.”(3) Even though “Neanderthals were closely related and probably potentially able to interbreed with modern humans,”(4) he still sees a clear distinction as they “had distinct behaviour and they evolved under different conditions from us, so I still think it’s useful to keep them as a separate species.”(5)

When discussing the presence of Neanderthal genes within Homo sapiens, Stringer concedes that “we don’t even know the circumstances of the interbreeding.”(6) Not only is this quest for certainty unresolved, any attempt to determine Neanderthal’s genetic status only creates even more questions. “And it can’t even have been common behaviour with the Neanderthals, because, of course, if modern humans came out of Africa and spread gradually across Europe, we would expect if there was continuing interbreeding with Neanderthals, then Europeans would actually have a lot more Neanderthal DNA than someone in China or someone in New Guinea.”(7)

Stringer’s problem here is compounded by an “if”(8) and compulsory location, Africa, which leads on to the “extraordinary.”(9) “The extraordinary thing is the level of DNA is about the same in a modern European, a modern Chinese and a modern New Guinean.”(10) If there are two groups of African modern humans emerging out of that continent as Stringer proposes, one slowly spreading through Europe at their leisure, and the other being a few intrepid explorers who veered to the east as they sped through Asia and sailed into Australia and New Guinea, such an even genetic spread throughout all races does not fit into this narrative.

Adding to the Tally

The next two associated complications are much harder to rationalise or dismiss while securely attached to the Out-of-Africa theory, whether big or small hominids there are fundamental elements in the genesis and existence of both the Denisovans and Homo floresiensis (‘hobbit’) that just do not add up no matter how the sums are arranged. So unexpected is the research being undertaken in both instances, Stringer was forced to admit he had no convincing explanation to offer. “We’ve got a whole unknown history there for the hobbit, just as we’ve got an unknown history for the Denisovans.”(11)

http://www.justscience.in/articles/denisovans-discovery-alter-view-human-evolution/2018/01/09

The taller hominids are an “enigmatic people called the Denisovans.”(12) At the moment the remains of these hominids are scarce, but still sufficient in number and genetic differences to acknowledge them as a distinct species. And it is their genetics that is responsible for “a further big surprise.”(13) Restricted in geography to the eastern section of Asia, with the possibility of walking in Europe over 600,000 years ago a strong possibility, it would be expected that the Asian and European races would bear witness to the highest percentage of Denisovan genes. However, “it turned out that there was one group of living humans that seemed to be related to the Denisovans, that had Denisovan DNA in them, and these people are down in Australasia. They’re in New Guinea, Australia, and some neighbouring islands, so that’s also very unexpected.”(14)

That this science is part of “also,”(15) needs further consideration, the repetition of an event “very unexpected”(16) could suggest that it may be while imposing African parameters these “surprises”(17) will be the norm. Stringer did not challenge these findings, he only stated the obvious when observing that “the Denisovans are only known from their DNA in Siberia. Down in New Guinea and Australia, there is Denisovan DNA in living people.”(18) I am one such living person as my Denisovan DNA count is 4.7%, and because of these high numbers Stringer had to find a ‘user-friendly’ explanation. It certainly is an enforced case of hedging bets here as in the next paragraph he makes it clear that “we don’t know the circumstances of the interbreeding,”(19) nevertheless he still finds there is a “best way to explain this at the moment.”(20) By falling back on a small African group on their way to Australia getting up close and personal when passing through Denisovan country, Stringer feels this brief tryst will be sufficient.

The problem and illogicality this presents is that exactly the same explanation is used in explaining why the genetic count was the same everywhere with Neanderthals. But the percentage tally is up to three times larger in my case alone and with the current Original readings running up to 6%, this just cannot be due to a brief stopover, but something far more protracted.  In claiming “these people have got a double archaic dose”(21) he has omitted a 3-400% Denisovan increase when compared to the Neanderthal dosage. Surely as the Neanderthal figures sit between 1.5-2.5% and in Europe it is agreed the two hominids existed side by side for no less than 15,000 years, then to get a dramatically higher reading needs even more direct contact over a lengthy period. The scientific fact that as of today nearly one twentieth of my genomes are Denisovan cannot be due to a fleeting encounter, but something much longer and intentional.

As difficult as it is trying to bind Denisovan ancestry and genetics into the frayed edges of this unravelling theory of an African exit and exclusive input into Australia, it gets much harder when trying to account for the ‘hobbits’ arrival and presence on Flores Island. Again, Stringer does try to find a way to explain all of the anomalies away using the same African theory, but being a professional has to preface his explanation by admitting “although we’ve got no evidence of it happening yet.”(22)

Who is on the Boat, From Where and When did it set Sail?

“Until 2004, we thought that only modern humans had got across the Wallace line. The Wallace line was named after the zoologist Alfred Russel Wallace, who recognised significant changes in the flora and fauna in Southeast Asia as we move from places like Java across into the islands leading to New Guinea and Australia. The view was ancient humans like Homo erectus got as far as Java, but they didn’t get any further-the assumption was that only modern humans with boats were able to get into the islands leading into New Guinea and Australia.”(23)

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Map_of_Sunda_and_Sahul_2.png

What Stringer never overtly stated, but is implied, was that the modern humans were African and that such a journey involved technological and communication skills that is the sole province of sapiens. All other inferior hominids were deemed incapable of sailing to Flores, or further on, as the feat needed superior intellect. The problem being according to every accepted measurement, is that Homo erectus did not have the wits or wherewithal to organise, build and convince others to board the boat. There just were not enough cubic centimetres in the cranium, it was that simple, but the complication this creates is that the hobbit has far less cranium capacity, about half that of erectus.

With occupation dates of 90-17,000 years confirmed in an island that was never part of any land-bridge and thus separated by 23 kilometres from the mainland, for any hominid to settle in numbers great enough to negate in-breeding requires a boat of considerable dimensions. All of these qualities were assumed to be part and parcel of what makes Homo sapiens sapiens unique and superior.

It is the conventional expectations Stringer pays allegiance to when proposing an earlier African exodus by a lesser clientele. Despite according this being a lesser status than erectus in declaring that there are “a number of features that seem to be more primitive than even the ones we find in Homo erectus. The suggestion is now that this might represent an even earlier stage of human evolution, one that’s closer to Homo habilis or even to Australopithecus, creatures that lived more than two million years ago.”(24) If so, does that not mean that all hominids evolving after this archaic off-shoot are smarter and must also have no less than the same intellectual capacity that led to these small folk sailing to an island which requires a great deal of thought, reflection and technology to reach.

Stringer continues his explanation of this journey and once again prefaces this account with an uncertain and open-ended “somehow.”(25) “The argument is that one or more of those more primitive forms got out of Africa more than two million years ago, somehow found its way over to southeast Asia, survived in isolation on the island of Flores until 17,000 years ago.”(26) “Somehow”(27) it made its way from Africa to the far south-eastern tip of the Asian landmass, then somehow decided to sail off to a small island in the distant horizon, then somehow managed to adapt to new environment, resources and food sources to thrive until extinction, which was assumed to be 17,000 years ago. There are a lot of somehows in this hypothetical summary and very few, if any, definites.

In ascribing ownership of the first recorded maritime journey across a large stretch of sea in a boat that if able to sail that distance, could obviously sail further, the hominid deemed to be responsible had a brain size only marginally larger than a chimp. Stringer is surely aware of this and in the paragraph that followed made sure no-one took his earlier tenuous explanation as the final word. “Where did it come from? Well, that’s also still a mystery.”(28)

However, current expectations still hold fast and each hobbit model is predicated upon the belief that “the hobbits came from the north.”(29) Since every aspect of their existence is couched in provisos and equivocations, why is it that a direction can be proclaimed and delivered in absolute terms? Why not the south, the continent of Australia is very close and whatever the type of boat that was used to reach this island can undoubtedly handle the extra distance.

Back at Home-Base

Returning to Africa, it should be remembered that Stringer is defending the credentials of the Out-of-Africa theory, but cannot commit with the same conviction as he did before. “I think the idea that modern humans originated in Africa is still a sound concept. Behaviorally and physically, we began our story there, but I’ve come around to thinking that it wasn’t a simple origin.”(30) So many inconsistencies are part of the changing scenery and because of these facts, Stringer had no choice but to add “now I don’t think it was that simple, either within or outside Africa.”(31)

“Within”(32) Africa, in particular Nigeria, is yet another piece of archaeology that runs counter to a smooth ascension from lesser hominids to the supposed pinnacle of the tree-Homo sapiens sapiens. It was assumed that in the supposed cradle of modern humans, as the years progressed the lower levels of hominins were outwitted or fell into infertile genetic cul-de-sacs, and that well before 13,000 years the coast was clear. Wherever Stringer looked he was compelled to be candid and honest in sharing his unease with the newer state of affairs. That “there were further surprises”(33) in store when analysing the results of work done on a Nigerian skull, should actually be ‘par for the course.’ But while trying to find another ingenious way to explain how a human “fossil from Nigeria”(34) which is “about 13,000 years old and yet if you look at it, you would say from its shape that it’s more than 100,000 years old,”(35) there can only be “further surprises”(36) ahead.

This single discovery is reminiscent of the mass discovery of over 20 separate individuals in Australia that were incredibly robust, markedly different from their Original gracile neighbours and far more ancient-looking. The problem was the dates ranged from around the same date in Nigeria into the mid 20,000 year range. The major difference is that individual recovered in Nigeria still exists, whereas in Australia all of the robust bones received a less welcoming reception and have mysteriously disappeared while being investigated through official channels. It would be a fascinating contrast to make across continents, but alas, twenty odd sets of human Original bones are missing through selective neglect and inaction.

As opposed to bolstering the standing of the Out-of-Africa theory this commentary does the opposite. Some of the many flaws are examined and never satisfactorily explained away and it is for those reasons Stringer concludes by admitting that “so which area will eventually turn out to be the place of origin of the genus Homo is a still an open question.”(37)

Out of Africa and Into America

One of the lynchpins of the Out-of-Africa theory and entry into Australia is a maximum date of 60,000 years, there is a little bit of give and take in the numbers, but once it reaches six figures this theory is well out of its depth. That number, or something very close by, is sacrosanct and cannot be violated, but what comes out of America at least 65 years earlier than Stringer’s paper and is comfortably positioned well into six figures.

Our Aborigines’ Cousins “Went to America 100,000 Years ago”(38)

That headline along with an extensive report appeared in a Sydney paper, Sunday Herald (Sunday, January 18, 1953). The research, dates and associated claims made, whether sixty-five years ago or yesterday, are at the very least sensational. “A prominent American archaeologist and geographer believes he has found evidence of a human trek 5,000 miles across the top of the world more than 100,000 years ago to America. Dr. George F. Carter, chairman of the Isaiah Bowman School of Geography, at the Johns Hopkins University, bases his theory on a handful of primitive stone tools he discovered in southern California. He claims they were made and used by American descendants of Asian tribes who reached southern California between the Third and Fourth Ice Ages-and also, incidentally, that the origin of those people was the same as that of the Australian aborigines.”(39)

http://atlantisforschung.de/index.php?title=George_F._Carter

To begin with Carter was unsure of whether bothering to either look further or do any research. “He said that when he first found the blades three years ago near san Diego, where the Sweetwater, Otay and Tia Juana rivers empty into the Pacific, he disregarded them despite the fact their location in gravel terraces indicated they were 100,000 years or more old.

“I ‘knew’ that wasn’t possible,” he explained, with a suggestion of a twinkle in his eyes, “because every knowledgeable archaeologist has said there were no humans in this country earlier than 10,000 years ago. But when I found more I finally said, “To hell with it. I’ll investigate fully.”(40)

In total Carter “spent two years examining the stones and the areas where he found them.”(41) And in doing so “used two geological time recorders: soil analysis and a study of sea-level changes.”(42) In analysing the chemistry of the soil he detected “the presence of certain minerals and the absence of others in the terrace in which he found the blades he deduces that the soil was formed at a time when the San Diego area, which now has 10 inches of rain a year, had 20 or 30 inches. Such soil is considered to be a heritage from glacial periods.”(43)

In seeking corroborating evidence, Carter knew that “ocean levels around the world, dropped far below the present beaches during each glacial advance and rose above the present levels when the ice caps melted. But after each successive glacial period the sea rose to lesser heights, causing rivers to drop their silt at successively lower stages. As the next Ice Age followed and the sea dropped again the rivers cut deeper into these alluvial soils, leaving a series of distinct terraces along the flanks of the streams-with the oldest terraces on top. It was at the point where the third glacial terrace was cut by roads and gravel pits that Dr. Carter discovered the stone blades.”(44)

According to this eminent geographer, “they began their migration … at the onset of the Third Ice Age (400,000 years ago),”(45) so it is obvious the cautious 100,000 year estimate also supplied by Carter is the absolute minimum date of the lowest and most recent level.

“Similar to the Australian Aboriginal and natives of Terra del Fuego.”(46)

It is one thing to use geography and soil chemistry in establishing a date, but as for who these people were, that is another story, and one Carter was correct in pursuing. Of one fact there can be no doubt, finding a genetic link in the soil, gravel beds or through assessing the level of the sea is impossible. What is both encouraging and indicative of a scholar of the highest order is that his choice of an Original presence, which was an extremely radical selection so long ago, is now almost accepted as a genetic fact today.

But if going back sixty-five years such talk was tantamount to archaeological heresy, to even suggest “that some of the earliest skulls found in America-in California- showed that early Californian man had similar origins to the Australian aboriginal,”(47) [sic] is guaranteed to be met with nothing less than scorn with the real possibility his archaeological credentials will be vigorously challenged.

Nonetheless, Carter had solid archaeology upon which to base his claims that the “skulls found in California are a marked Australoid type… We have learned also from relics and fragments that man in California had a similar cultural background. He had a curved throwing stick similar to the boomerang, and a ‘bullroarer’ rather like the Australian aboriginal’s”(48) [sic].

What is as endemic as it is predictable is that the American location, artefacts and bones he was referring to, spent another fifty years banished into obscurity before Dr. Silvia Gonzales picked up this baton and began to run with the truth. The identity of the ancient Pericu , a group of pre-Clovis people who lived near Baja, California, is an issue of great interest to Gonzales. Her examination of the Penon Woman, who she claimed to be “20,000 years” (49) old, coupled with an expectation “that descendants of Penon Woman had survived until a few hundred years ago thrilled prehistorians,”(50) has upset quite a few of her colleagues. In what only added to the enigmatic nature of the discoveries, Gonzales was convinced “the Penon Woman (and by implication the Pericu and Guaycura) were not related to modern Amerind populations but instead had affiliations with Australians.”(51)

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d4/Mujeres_californias.jpg

“Several dozen Pericu skulls,”(52) which are normally stored at the “Regional Museum of La Paz in Baja California Sur in Mexico”(53), were recently allowed to be examined in detail. In what only reinforced Gonzales’ research “they turn out to be something far more enigmatic. What they are is still not entirely clear but they do not seem to be Amerind … Their closest relatives seem to be the Fuegians, the Australians, some Papua-Newguineans and the other populations of Pacific and Indian Ocean areas.”(54)

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/62/Pericu_map.png

Tragically, but to be realistic it is so much part of the global colonial legacy, “these people are now extinct, but their combined demise was quite recent and they were still thriving when the Spanish invaded their lands. The written accounts of the invaders depicted a nomadic society of sea-faring people coping extremely well and showed no signs of stress or oppression. The Pericu exhibited an aversion towards any activity that necessitated leaving the earth upturned and exposed, and left “no trace of agricultural practises.”(55) In keeping with traditions of the Dreaming the hierarchy and positions of leadership was never discriminated against through gender, and control “went mostly to males but occasionally positions of leadership were held by women.”(56) Their religious practises seem to resonate to the precepts as ordained by the Dreaming. The Pericu religion “was a basically shamanistic system,”(57) with unique burial rituals that included the liberal servings of red ochre and a method of disposal claimed to create corpses resembling “mummies.”(58) The men, who “normally went naked,”(59) hunted with the assistance of woomeras to propel their spears, which the Spanish referred to as “atlatls (spear throwers).”(60) Throw in Carter’s boomerang  and the observations and descriptions supplied by the Spanish virtually echo the commentaries made by the British when they began their quest to confiscate Australian Original tribal lands.

Two Times two Equals …

What all of this adds up to is two experts separated by thousands of kilometres and many decades, ostensibly researching two entirely separate archaeological topics, yet their research keeps returning like a boomerang to the same location and race: the Original people of Australia. Without doubt credit must be given to Stringer for boldly “rethinking,”(61) but in Carter’s case he went a few steps further down an ancient path in repositioning everything into a continent he knew his colleagues would never approve. Carter’s minimum date has many implications, first and foremost it dispenses with every version of the Out-of-Africa and into Australia exodus.

If the Adnyamathanha are correct in declaring that “it begins here, it will end here and begin again here,”(62) there is no room in this equation for Africa, nor America or anywhere else, it can only be Australia first, then everyone else get in line.

US puppet President of Ukraine, Poroshenko, appears ready to plunge his struggling country into total chaos to please his Western sponsors. – DECEMBER 15, 2018

Having ordered 90 hospitals with a total of 41,000 beds to stand by to receive wounded, (not a very optimistic outlook for military success), his military has moved heavy equipment to the southeast, near Donetsk.

Ukrainian S-300 batteries have been deployed in Mariupol and Odessa. It’s being reported that Ukrainian naval vessels have been given orders to attempt (again) to cross the Russian controlled Kerch Straits.

The “operation” (likely to end up as another fiasco) is expected to take place within days at the most.

Russian intelligence suspects that a “false flag” operation with chemical weapons might be used to ignite the offensive.

Poroshenko is counting on NATO for support but although the west would be more than happy to sell him weapons, I seriously doubt that they will sacrifice their own people in a direct confrontation with Russia in an area where “defeat” can almost be guaranteed.

NATO was created by Nazi war criminals to establish the Fourth Reich – Reblogged from source @ http://transmissionsmedia.com/nato-was-created-by-nazi-war-criminals-to-establish-the-fourth-reich/

NATO is a political movement seeking to revive Nazism.

This neo-Nazi organization has organized representation in many countries, as well as international networks.

On March 24, 1999 the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) launched an illegal and unprovoked War of aggression against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

NATO did not have any authorization from the UN Security Council to carry out this aggression.

Not only did the aggression violate the UN Charter, but also many international covenants pertaining to the rules of war.

NATO deliberately targeted civilians, not even hospitals were spared from NATO’s criminal attacks.

In fact, NATO managed to destroy more hospitals than Yugoslav Army tanks.

On October 7, 2001 NATO launched another illegal and unprovoked War of aggression against the sovereign state of Afghanistan.

Afghanistan did not attack any country, not on September 11, 2001, not prior to that date and not since that date.

Afghanistan was a poor defenseless state that was and continues to be a victim of war crimes committed by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

On March 25, 2011 NATO began another unprovoked war, this time against Libya.

Libya had not attacked any NATO country nor made any threats against any country.

The Libyan government did only what any country would do, put down an armed rebellion that was initiated by foreign paid mercenaries.  Why did NATO attack Libya?

Gadaffi was on the verge of creating a new banking system in Africa that was going to put the IMF, World Bank and assorted other white supremacist bankers out of business in Africa.

No more predatory western loans used to intentionally cripple African economies with high interest payments.

Instead a $42 billion dollar African Investment Bank was planned to supply major loans at little or even zero interest rates to every African nation.

Libya has already funded major infrastructure projects across Africa that have begun to link up African economies and break the perpetual dependency on the western countries for imports.

Before NATO launched its war of aggression against Libya it stole the $42 billion that had been allocated to the African people through the African Investment Bank.

The crimes committed by NATO against Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Libya are the same crimes that NATO’s predecessors committed in World War II.

European and U.S. historical documents reveals an insidious link between Nazism and NATO.

They reveal that NATO was created by Nazi war criminals.

NATO’s sole mission is the establishment of the Fourth Reich.

They, like their predecessors, are using war (invasion then occupation) to establish the Fourth Reich.

Wars in which they willingly and intentionally commit unimaginable atrocities against civilians.  Wars that are declared by International law as unadulterated aggression.

In the process of establishing the Fourth Reich their leaders commit crimes against peace, crimes against humanity, and war crimes.

Today they conscript the governments of the United States, Canada, the UK, France, Italy and governments from former Nazi occupied countries to build this Nazi empire called the Fourth Reich.

In terms of neo-Nazism, the Fourth Reich is envisioned as featuring Aryan supremacy, antiSemitism, Lebensraum, aggressive militarism andtotalitarianism.

Subsequently, neo-Nazis believe that this rise will pave the way for the establishment of the Western Imperium, a pan-Aryan world empire encompassing lands with prominent European descended peoples (Europe, Russia, Anglo-America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Southern South America, and other significantly white countries in Latin America).

The framework for the Fourth Reich began with the formation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the wars of the Fourth Reich began immediately after the reunification of Germany.

In his book, The Rise of the Fourth Reich: The Secret Societies That Threaten to Take Over America, Jim Marrs argues that some surviving members of Germany’s Third Reich, along with sympathizers in the United States and elsewhere, given safe haven through organizations like ODESSA and Die Spinne, have been working behind the scenes since the end of World War II to enact at least some of the principles of Nazism

(e.g. militarism, fascism, conquest, widespread spying on citizens, use of corporations and propaganda to control national interests and ideas) into culture, government, and business worldwide.

He cites the influence the Nazis brought into the United States at the end of World War II, such as Nazi scientists brought in under Operation Paperclip to help advance aerospace in the US, and the acquisition and creation of conglomerates by Nazis and their sympathizers after the war, in both Europe and the US – the largest of which is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

America became the soldiers of the Nazi Fourth Reich on September 11, 2001.

When the World Trade Towers collapsed, most Americans simply refused to believe suggestions that the attacks had been staged by parties working for the US Government itself.

Americans were afraid to, even as news reports surfaced proving that the US Government had announced plans for the invasion of Afghanistan months before the attacks on September 11, 2001 even took place.

The United States government made plans and announced their intention to the World early in the year 2001.

The timing of the attacks on the World Trade Towers fits entirely too conveniently.

The attacks and the outpouring of anger by the American people resulted in an unquestionable support of the already-planned war.

NATO used another Reichstag Building event to establish the Fourth Reich.

Even after being presented with the facts Americans to this day still believe that the Taliban and the Afghan people are the enemy of the United States.

The fact that no Afghan citizen, political official or military personnel took part in either the planning of the attacks on September 11, 2001 or the execution of the attacks is still incomprehensible.

Many in the United States believe Afghanistan attacked the United States on September 11, 2001 even after the United States government published the names and nationalities of the hijackers and mastermind of the attack.

The majority were Saudi nationals. bin Laden is also a Saudi national.

There were no Taliban or an Afghan national hijackers.  Zero.  None.  Zilch.

Even with all the evidence exonerating (to free from blame) Afghanistan of any crime against the United States the US government granted themselves temporary extraordinary powers, powers specifically banned under Constitutional law, but powers the government claimed they need to have to deal with the “terrorists”.

The American people, too naive and fanatically self-centered to see that they have been grossly deceived by their government have agreed with their government’s blatant lies and contradictions.

Because Americans are too naive and self-centered those temporary illegal powers are now no more temporary in America than they were in Germany when Nazi ideologist, Adolf Hitler burned down the Reichstag building (the parliament building of the German Empire) and blamed it on “terrorists” they called communists.

The destruction of the building gave Hitler the excuse for the Nazis to suspend most rights provided for by Germany’s 1919 constitution in an effort by Hitler to increase state security throughout Germany.

68 years later and history was repeated when the United States government attacked the United States on September 11, 2001 in order to grant themselves illegal extraordinary powers that illegally suspended the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights (an illegal suspension that continues to this day).

They too blamed the attacks on “terrorists” but this time they are called Al Qaeda.

The US Government knows they rule a nation of cowards.

The U.S. government has had to spend $trillions to make the Fourth Reich wars something cowards can fight.

The U.S. government has decorated the troops with regalia to make them proud of themselves, further trapping them in their self-image.

Knowing that it takes courage to kill the enemy face to face, the United States government has spent vast sums of money on wonder weapons, airplanes, submarines, ultra-long range artillery, cruise missiles, unmanned drones and guided missiles – weapons that kill at a distance, so that those doing the killing need not have to face the reality of what they are doing.

Did you know that Hitler was TIME Magazine’s Man Of The Year in 1938.

Stalin was TIME Magazine’s Man Of The Year for 1939 and 1942.

George W. Bush was Tine Magazine’s Man of the Year in 2000 and in 2004.

All of these men, and many others also celebrated by the media, were unimaginable monsters.

All 3 committed treasonous acts against their own country and people, took away the rights of their people and committed atrocities against foreign states.

The lesson from these facts is that it isn’t easy to spot a genocidal tyrant when you live with one, especially one whom the press supports and promotes.

Tyrants become obvious only when looking back, after what they have done becomes known.

The German people did not stand up to Hitler because their media betrayed them, just as the American media is betraying the American people by willingly, voluntarily, even proudly, abandoning its traditional role as watchdog against government abuse.

It is the very nature of power that it attracts the sort of people who should not have it.

The United States is a prize that attracts men and women willing to do absolutely anything to win that power, and hence are also willing to do absolutely anything with that power once they have it.

If one thinks about it long enough, one will realize that all tyrants, past and most especially present, MUST use deception on their population to initiate a war.

No citizen of a modern industrialized nation will send their children off to die in a war to grab another nation’s resources and assets, yet resources and assets are what all wars today are fought over.

The nation that wishes to initiate a war of conquest must create the illusion of an attack or a threat to start a war, and must always give their population of cowards an excuse never to question that carefully crafted illusion.

It is naive, not to mention racist to assume that tyrants appear only in other nations and that somehow the United States is immune simply because they’re Americans.

The United States has not escaped the clutches of a dictatorship.

The United States people, like the Germans of the 1930s, didn’t have the moral courage to stand up and point out where the government is lying.

Unless Americans are willing to stand up against their tyrannical government, then future generations may well look back on the American people with the same harshness of judgment with which we look back on the 1930s Germans.

As a primary source of international law, the judgment of the Nuremberg Tribunal in the 1945-1946 case of the major Nazi war criminals is plain and clear.

Our leaders often invoke and praise that judgment, but obviously have not read it. The International Court declared:

“To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime, it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.”

At Nuremberg, the United States and Britain pressed for the prosecution of Nazi leaders for planning and initiating aggressive war.

Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson, the head of the American prosecution staff, asserted “that launching a war of aggression is a crime and that no political or economic situation can justify it.”

He also declared that “if certain acts in violation of treaties are crimes, they are crimes whether the United States does them or whether Germany does them, and we are not prepared to lay down a rule of criminal conduct against others which we would not be willing to have invoked against us.”

The United Nations Charter views aggression similarly.

Articles 2(4) and (7) prohibit interventions in the domestic jurisdiction of any country and threats of force or the use of force by one state against another. 

The General Assembly of the UN in Resolution 2131, “Declaration on the Inadmissibility of Intervention,” reinforced the view that a forceful military intervention in any country is aggression and a crime without justification.

Putting a “NATO” label on aggressive policy and conduct does not give that conduct any sanctity.

This is simply a perversion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, supposedly formed as a defensive alliance under the UN Charter.

The North Atlantic Treaty pledged its signatories to refrain from the threat or use of force in any manner inconsistent with the purposes of the United Nations, and it explicitly recognized “the primary responsibility of the Security Council (of the United Nations) for the maintenance of international peace and security.”

Obviously, in bypassing UN approval for attacking and occupying the former Yugoslavia, then Afghanistan and now Libya, the U.S. and NATO have violated this basic obligation.

From another standpoint of international law, the current conduct of military aggressive armed attacks by the United States and NATO constitutes a continuing war crime.

Contrary to the beliefs of their war planners, unrestricted air bombing is barred under international law.

Bombing the “infrastructure” of a country’s waterworks, electricity plants, bridges, factories, television and radio locations are not attacks limited to legitimate military objectives.

US and NATO attacks has also caused an excessive loss of life and injury to civilians, which violates another standard. They have now killed hundreds, if not thousands, of innocent and defenseless civilians.

TMR Editor’s Note: No one does it better than Operation Gladio. 

They know how to change the conversation faster than you can say “Gladio”.

A Long List of Gladio Black Operations and Psyops Conducted Around the Globe

When you’re in the hot water that Immanuel Macron is in, the distraction better be swift and surprising.  After all, the French love their guillotines.

With this classic Gladio attack strategically conducted on the Christmas market, every Frenchmen is sure to take notice.  And so they are!  Which conveniently lets Macron off the hook, both figuratively and literally.

Now the rest of us can debate whether the mass shooting in Strasbourg was real, a hoax, or a hybrid of both.  Only then will the cabal think that Macron will be free from our scrutiny.

However, the NWO cabal fails to realize that every Rothschild agent in high office will always be put under our microscope until they are frogmarched out of town.

At least one dead, 10 wounded in French Christmas market shooting

STRASBOURG, France (Reuters) – At least one person was killed and 10 people were wounded in a shooting near a Christmas market in the French city of Strasbourg on Tuesday, the local prefecture said.

Police locked down the area and launched a hunt for the shooter, who fled the scene, the police sources said. They said the gunman had been identified.

Local authorities told people in the city’s Neudorf area and Etoile park to stay where they were.

“There were gunshots and people running everywhere,” one local shopkeeper told BFM TV. “It lasted about 10 minutes.”

France remains on high alert after a wave of attacks commissioned or inspired by Islamic State militants since early 2015, in which about 240 people have been killed.

The Christmas market was being held amid tight security this year, with unauthorized vehicles banned from surrounding streets during opening hours and checkpoints set up on bridges and access points to search pedestrians’ bags.

A source at the prosecutor’s office said the motive for the shooting was not immediately clear and that an investigation was under way to see if it was terrorism-related.

President Emmanuel Macron was informed of the shooting and was being updated as events unfurled, an Elysee Palace official said. Interior Minister Christophe Castaner was on his way to Strasbourg, which lies on the border with Germany.

Ecology Minister Francois de Rugy tweeted: “Solidarity and support for the people of Strasbourg. Our support too for the security forces. We are united and determined to protect the French people.”

In 2016, a truck plowed into a Bastille Day crowd in Nice, killing more than 80, while in November 2015, coordinated attacks on the Bataclan concert hall and other sites in Paris claimed about 130 lives.

There have also been attacks in Paris on a policeman on the Champs-Elysees avenue, the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo and a kosher store.

Almost exactly two years ago, a Tunisian Islamist rammed a hijacked truck into a Christmas market in central Berlin, killing 11 people as well as the driver.

Julian Paul Assange (;[1] born Julian Paul Hawkins; 3 July 1971) is an Australian computer programmer and the editor of WikiLeaks.[2]Assange founded WikiLeaks in 2006, but came to international attention in 2010, when WikiLeaks published a series of leaks provided by Chelsea Manning. These leaks included the Collateral Murder video (April 2010),[3][4] the Afghanistan war logs (July 2010), the Iraq war logs (October 2010), and CableGate (November 2010). Following the 2010 leaks, the federal government of the United States launched a criminal investigation into WikiLeaks and asked allied nations for assistance.[5]

In November 2010, Sweden issued an international arrest warrant for Assange.[6] He had been questioned there months earlier over allegations of sexual assault and rape.[7] Assange continued to deny the allegations, and expressed concern that he would be extradited from Sweden to the United States because of his perceived role in publishing secret American documents.[8][9] Assange surrendered himself to UK police on 7 December 2010, and was held for ten days before being released on bail. Having been unsuccessful in his challenge to the extradition proceedings, he breached his bail and absconded. He was granted asylum by Ecuador in August 2012 and has remained in the Embassy of Ecuador in London since then. Assange has held Ecuadorian citizenship since 12 December 2017.[10]

During the 2016 Democratic Party presidential primaries, WikiLeaks hosted emails sent or received by candidate Hillary Clinton from her private email server when she was Secretary of State.[11] According to two political scientists, WikiLeaks strategically released the e-mails whenever Clinton’s lead expanded in the polls.[12] After the Democratic Party, along with cybersecurity experts, claimed that Russian intelligence had hacked Clinton campaign-related e-mails and leaked them to WikiLeaks, Assange said Clinton was causing “hysteria about Russia”.[13][14] He consistently denied any connection to or cooperation with Russia in relation to the leaks.[15][16][17]

On 19 May 2017, the Swedish prosecutors dropped their investigation into the rape accusation against Assange and applied to revoke the European arrest warrant.[18] Although he is free to leave the Embassy, it is likely that he would then be arrested for the criminal offence of breaching his bail conditions.[19] The London Metropolitan Police have indicated that an arrest warrant is still in force for Assange’s failure to surrender himself to his bail.[20] On 27 July 2018, Ecuadorian President Lenín Moreno revealed that he had begun talks with British authorities to withdraw the asylum for Assange.[21]

Personal life

Julian Paul Hawkins was born on 3 July 1971 in Townsville, Queensland,[22][23] to Christine Ann Hawkins (b. 1951),[24] a visual artist,[25] and John Shipton, an anti-war activist and builder.[26] The couple separated prior to his birth.[26]

When Julian Hawkins was a year old, his mother married Richard Brett Assange,[27][28][29] an actor, with whom she ran a small theatre company and whom Assange regards as his father (choosing Assange as his surname).[30] The surname Assange is an Anglicisation of the Chinese name Au Sang from a Taiwanese man who married a Torres Strait Islander woman on Thursday Island.[31] His mother had a house in Nelly Bay on Magnetic Island where they lived from time to time until it was destroyed by fire.[32]

Christian and Brett Assange divorced about 1979. Christine Assange then became involved with Leif Meynell, also known as Leif Hamilton, a member of Australian cult The Family, with whom she had a son before the couple broke up in 1982.[22][33][34] Assange had a nomadic childhood, and had lived in over thirty[35][36] Australian towns by the time he reached his mid-teens, when he settled with his mother and half-brother in Melbourne, Victoria.[27][37]

He attended many schools, including Goolmangar Primary School in New South Wales (1979–1983)[30] and Townsville State High School,[38]as well as being schooled at home.[28] He studied programming, mathematics, and physics at Central Queensland University (1994)[39]and the University of Melbourne (2003–2006),[27][40] but did not complete a degree.[41]

While in his teens, Assange married a woman named Teresa, and in 1989 they had a son, Daniel Assange, now a software designer.[27][41][42] The couple separated and initially disputed custody of their child.[28]Assange was Daniel’s primary caregiver for much of his childhood.[43]Assange has other children; in an open letter to French President François Hollande, he stated that his youngest child lives in France with his mother. He also said that his family had faced death threats and harassment because of his work, forcing them to change identities and reduce contact with him.[44]

Hacking

In 1987, Assange began hacking under the name Mendax.[28][45] He and two others—known as “Trax” and “Prime Suspect”—formed a hacking group they called the International Subversives.[28] During this time, he hacked into the Pentagon and other US Department of Defense facilities, MILNET, the US Navy, NASA and Australia’s Overseas Telecommunications Commission; Citibank, Lockheed Martin, Motorola, Panasonic, and Xerox; and the Australian National University, La Trobe University, and Stanford University‘s SRI International.[46] He is thought to have been involved in the WANK (Worms Against Nuclear Killers) hack at NASA in 1989, but he does not acknowledge this.[47][48]

In September 1991, Assange was discovered hacking into the Melbourne master terminal of Nortel, a Canadian multinational telecommunicationscorporation.[28] The Australian Federal Police tapped Assange’s phone line (he was using a modem), raided his home at the end of October,[49]and eventually charged him in 1994 with thirty-one counts of hacking and related crimes.[28] In December 1996, he pleaded guilty to twenty-five charges (the other six were dropped), was ordered to pay reparations of A$2,100 and released on a good behaviour bond,[47][50] avoiding a heavier penalty resulting from the perceived absence of malicious or mercenary intent and his disrupted childhood.[50][51][52][53][54]

Programming

Assange, c. 2006

In 1993, Assange gave technical advice to the Victoria Police Child Exploitation Unit and assisted with prosecutions.[55] In the same year, he was involved in starting one of the first public Internet service providers in Australia, Suburbia Public Access Network.[27][56] He began programming in 1994, authoring or co-authoring the Transmission Control Protocol port scanner strobe.c (1995);[57][58] patches to the open-source database PostgreSQL (1996);[59][60] the Usenet caching software NNTPCache (1996);[61] the Rubberhose deniable encryption system (1997),[62][63]which reflected his growing interest in cryptography;[64] and Surfraw, a command-line interface for web-based search engines (2000).[65]During this period, he also moderated the AUCRYPTO forum;[64] ran Best of Security, a website “giving advice on computer security” that had 5,000 subscribers in 1996;[66] and contributed research to Suelette Dreyfus‘s Underground (1997), a book about Australian hackers, including the International Subversives.[45][67] In 1998, he co-founded the company Earthmen Technology.[53]

Assange stated that he registered the domain leaks.org in 1999, but “didn’t do anything with it.”[53] He did, however, publicise a patent granted to the National Security Agency in August 1999, for voice-data harvesting technology: “This patent should worry people. Everyone’s overseas phone calls are or may soon be tapped, transcribed and archived in the bowels of an unaccountable foreign spy agency.”[64]Systematic abuse of technology by governments against fundamental freedoms of world citizens remained an abiding concern — more than a decade later, in the introduction to Cypherpunks (2012), Assange summarised: “the Internet, our greatest tool for emancipation, has been transformed into the most dangerous facilitator of totalitarianism we have ever seen”.[68]

WikiLeaks

Assange and Daniel Domscheit-Berg at the 26C3 in Berlin, December 2009

After his period of study at the University of Melbourne, Assange and others established WikiLeaks in 2006. Assange is a member of the organisation’s advisory board[69] and describes himself as the editor-in-chief.[70] From 2007 to 2010, Assange travelled continuously on WikiLeaks business, visiting Africa, Asia, Europe and North America.[28][36][71][72][73]

WikiLeaks published secret information, news leaks,[74] and classified media from anonymous sources.[75] By 2015, WikiLeaks had published more than 10 million documents and associated analyses, and was described by Assange as “a giant library of the world’s most persecuted documents”.[76] The published material between 2006 and 2009 attracted various degrees of publicity,[77] but it was only after it began publishing documents supplied by Chelsea Manning, that WikiLeaks became a household name.[78] The Manning material included the Collateral Murder video (April 2010)[3] which showed United States soldiers fatally shooting 18 people from a helicopter in Iraq,[4] the Afghanistan war logs (July 2010), the Iraq war logs (October 2010), a quarter of a million diplomatic cables (November 2010), and the Guantánamo files (April 2011).

Opinions of Assange at this time were divided. Australian Prime MinisterJulia Gillard described his activities as “illegal,”[79] but the police said that he had broken no Australian law.[80] United States Vice President Joe Biden and others called him a “terrorist”.[81][82][83][84][85] Some called for his assassination or execution.[86][87][88][89] Support came from people including Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva,[90][91]President of Ecuador Rafael Correa,[92] Russian President Dmitry Medvedev,[93][94] Britain’s Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn (then a backbench MP),[95] Spain’s Podemos party leader Pablo Iglesias,[96] UNHigh Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay,[97] Argentina‘s ambassador to the UK Alicia Castro,[98] and activists and celebrities including Tariq Ali,[99] John Perry Barlow,[100] Daniel Ellsberg,[101][102]Mary Kostakidis,[103] John Pilger,[104][105] Ai Weiwei,[106] Michael Moore,[107] Noam Chomsky,[106] Vaughan Smith,[108][109] and Oliver Stone.[110]
