Walking with Boudicca: We follow an historic journey - via an Essex underpass and a McDonald's

- Early on a Norwich autumn morning, and I was standing naked in a hotel room.
  
  On the bed lay my new walking clothes: walking trousers, expensive pants at the cutting edge of underwear technology, assorted base layers, fleeces and waterproofs.
- All items of clothing I'd never owned before yet would spend the next goodness knows how many weeks wearing nothing but.
- I was about to embark on the first in a sequence of journeys tracing routes taken by some of the most famous and not-so-famous figures in the history of these islands.
- I was going to recreate some of these great journeys that have shaped our island story. On foot.
- On this particular walk I would be following in the footsteps of Boudicca who, in AD60, led a rebellion against the Roman overlords, marching on Colchester, London and what is now St Albans, laying waste to each in turn.
- Which is how I found myself in a Travelodge in Norwich, contemplating my pants.
- I set off with a determined stride and within an hour-and-a-half was strolling into the village of Caistor St Edmund, where I would take up the trail of my first historic fellow-traveller.
- We know very little about Boudicca. We don't even know whether her name really was Boudicca, or where she lived.
- But we do know that she came as close as anyone to driving the Romans out of Britain, fired by vengeance, injustice and the cruellest sense of grievance induced in any mother from any period in history.
- 'She was very tall in build,' wrote the Roman historian Cassius Dio, 'most terrifying in her demeanour, the glint in her eye most fierce. A great mound of red hair fell to her waist, around her neck was a large golden torc and she wore a tunic of many colours upon which a cloak was fastened with a brooch.'
- She was, he added, 'possessed of a greater intelligence than is usually found in women'.
- Boudicca was the wife of Prasutagus, king of the Iceni, a wealthy tribe whose lands covered most of what is now Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire at the time of the Roman conquest.
- Archaeological finds of fine clothing and jewellery suggest they were big on ostentatious displays of opulence, just as in centuries from now East Anglian archaeologists might turn up hoop earrings, sovereign rings and thick gold chains.
- Prasutagus was a client king, permitted to retain his status as long as he didn't resist Roman rule.
- In his will he left half his estate to his two daughters and the other half to the Emperor Nero. When this news reached Catus Decianus, the Roman procurator of Britain, he was furious.
- Around AD60 he died suddenly and the trouble began.
- As far as Catus was concerned, the Iceni lands were not Prasutagus's to bequeath to anyone other than the Roman Empire.
- He overreacted to a quite unbelievable degree, sending soldiers into the Iceni lands to pillage the property of their nobles.
- For the late king's family, things were to get much, much worse. Catus had Boudicca, queen of the Iceni, flogged while her daughters were raped in front of her by Roman soldiers.
- It was an inexplicable act: Boudicca, by virtue of her marriage to a client king, would have been officially a Roman citizen, and any corporal punishment of a woman was almost unthinkable in the Roman Empire.
- Rape was an offence punishable by execution.
- The burning sense of injustice felt by Boudicca and her people was so intense you can almost sense it today - this was one of the most despicable episodes in the history of these islands.
- The resentment that had festered against Roman rule for the best part of two decades exploded into angry rebellion.
- Historic: Colchester in Essex as it looks today - it was once the Roman capital and called Camulodunum
- The Iceni gathered into a huge, seething mass of people to rise up against the oppressor that had taken away their freedom and violated their queen.
- Under Boudicca's leadership, the Iceni and their neighbours would set off for the Roman capital at Camulodunum, modern Colchester, for an orgy of destruction and murder.
- We don't know from where Boudicca's army set out, so I had chosen the village of Caistor St Edmund, close to the main route to Camulodunum.
- Most of the road along which Boudicca would have passed is now the A12, but on the map there was a stretch marked 'Roman road' running parallel to the main thoroughfare for a good distance just south of Ipswich.
- Once I was through the suburbs I passed beneath the A12 through a foot tunnel and emerged on the old road.
- This had once been the main road south from Ipswich, but nothing came up here any more. Some plastic bags whipped around in circles in the wind. It was quiet; I was all alone.
- For the first time, I felt like I was peeking through the curtains of time. This was the very same route as Boudicca and her army would have taken.
- The trundling carts passed along here. The Iceni, grimly determined and driven by vengeance, would have walked with Boudicca at their head, a vast procession of men, women, children and horses spread wide across the road and beyond into the fields, knowing that with every step, they were closer to justice, or at least their version of it.
- Walking in their footsteps, I could feel the butterflies in my stomach, the feeling that every step was into the unknown.
- That evening, as I soaked in a hot bath at a Colchester hostelry, I reflected on what Boudicca and her cohorts did to the Roman capital when they reached it.
- Camulodunum had all the trappings of a major Roman town - a senate building, shops, a theatre and a temple dedicated to the late Emperor Claudius, conqueror of Britain.
- For a capital, Camulodunum was curiously lax in its defences.
- It was home to hundreds of army veterans who, having completed their 25 years of military service, were given plots of land.
- Most of the Roman military forces in Britain were engaged in a concerted attempt to wipe out the druids on Anglesey. Hence Camulodunum had at best a skeleton defence force.
- When news of Boudicca's travelling hordes reached the town, the locals pressed Catus Decianus, the man responsible for triggering the uprising, to provide military assistance.
- He mustered barely 200 troops then hitched up his toga and hotfooted it to Gaul before Boudicca could get hold of him.
- Boudicca's forces approached Colchester meeting no opposition.
- Nevertheless, they fell upon the place in a storm of aggression and destruction. Property was looted and burned to the ground.
- The soldiers would have provided only token resistance to the thousands of screaming, blue-painted warriors descending on the town. Nothing and no one would have been spared.
- Those who remained barricaded themselves inside the Temple of Claudius, until the Britons scaled the walls and began to dismantle the roof, dropping on to the survivors and killing them where they stood.
- It's likely that Boudicca's forces would have hung around Camulodunum for a couple of days, celebrating, praying and dividing up the loot, before heading south to the port of Londinium.
- Londinium was a lesser focus of Roman power, but economically important to the occupying people.
- The Roman road from Colchester to Chelmsford and thence to the outskirts of London is again the A12, so I struck out on a parallel path and was delighted to find, at one stage, that I was crossing Boadicea Way.
- I passed through Chelmsford, eventually arriving on the outskirts of Brentwood. After days in the countryside, I'd hit suburbia.
- Suddenly I had my breath taken away. I crested a hill while looking at the map, and when I looked up there, before me, was the London skyline with its familiar NatWest Tower, Gherkin and St Paul's Cathedral. Boudicca would have come over this hill - albeit to witness a very different skyline.
- Londinium was a fairly new settlement of 30,000 inhabitants.
- Goods and slaves were exported here, while imports were unloaded in what would have been a lively, noisy place.
- It would have been distinctly muted that day, though, as Suetonius Paulinus, the commander of the Roman forces, had arrived with his cavalry.
- He had two options. The first: to assemble as many soldiers as he could to defend the town. However, he'd heard about the devastation of Camulodunum and knew that the Britons would be arriving in even greater numbers.
- The alternative was to evacuate Londinium, leave it to the mercy of the Iceni and their allies, and muster a large Roman force to meet them at full strength somewhere down the road. He chose the latter option.
- Londinium was doomed. I followed the route of the old Roman road through Romford and Ilford and on beyond Stratford. When Boudicca's forces arrived, Londinium would have been almost deserted.
- Cassius Dio describes what the rebels did to the locals who were left.
- The city's most distinguished women were hung up naked, their breasts cut off and sewn into their mouths, before being impaled on stakes.
- Many people were burnt alive. Boudicca's rebellion had no political cause at its heart: this was sheer, visceral vengeance.
- When the Thames was running red with blood, the rebels torched London.
- Once Londinium had been ransacked, the rebels made for the road to Verulamium, a major seat of the wealthy Catuvellauni tribe, now St Albans.
- The Romans had routed Watling Street, a major thoroughfare, through Verulamium. It was an obvious target.
- The road is the A5, starting at the bottom of London's Edgware Road, and it's fairly certain that Boudicca would have joined it where it met the road from Camulodunum.
  It's a spot now occupied by Marble Arch, where I found myself early one blustery morning.
- It was about 20 miles to St Albans, a journey that would have taken Boudicca and her cumbersome caravan two days, if not more. I was aiming to do it in one.
- The coffee shops and sandwich bars soon gave way to a procession of Turkish and Arabic emporia. I passed within a hefty six of Lord's cricket ground and then, at Maida Vale, the spot where the headmaster Philip Lawrence was killed in 1995.
- On through Cricklewood and its synagogues, Wembley Stadium to my left, then Edgware and the general hospital where I was born.
- The next morning I headed to Verulamium Park, the site of the old town sacked by Boudicca. It was a peaceful morning, the sun glinting off the damp grass.
- By six o'clock that evening, I was in St Albans.
- The locals had legged it, taking everything of value with them. The wind direction made it harder to burn down the town.
  The destruction was still extensive, but there was a sense that the fun was going out of all this looting and burning.
- By the time Boudicca arrived, Verulamium was deserted.
- The lack of a 'real' battle was leaving some sections of the mob bored and unfulfilled.
- The sacking of Verulamium would prove to be the Boudiccan revolt's last success.
- I made my way to the edge of town. My step was slowing tangibly, too, as my first historical journey was coming to an end. This is where I would leave Boudicca; where the historical trail goes cold.
- The inevitable big battle between Boudicca's mob and the Roman army did take place, but nobody can say for sure where it was.
- Mancetter, near Atherstone in Warwickshire, seems the most likely location.
- Either way, the Britons were defeated and Boudicca was never heard of again.
- Many surmise that she chose to take her own life by drinking poison rather than suffer the ignominy of being taken to Rome and paraded through the streets. Nothing is known of what became of her daughters.
- There was a groundless rumour in Victorian times that Boudicca is buried beneath Platform 8 at King's Cross Station in London, while in 2006 Birmingham archaeologists claimed they'd found her grave in King's Norton, next to McDonald's.
- I stood for a while, looking along Watling Street, picturing a noble, charismatic queen standing proud on her chariot at the head of her warriors, their carts rumbling along the track, heading towards her destiny.
- Then I turned around, retraced my steps and began to walk forward almost a thousand years. I had an appointment with a man whose epic journey changed Britain's history for ever.
- I was about to follow in the footsteps of Harold, the man who could have been, and so nearly was, one of Britain's greatest ever kings.

Dissecting The New Age: The Trinity of Global Empire

The Trinity of Global Empire
69 more annotations...
- By Matthew D. Jarvie
  December 22, 2008
- There are three cities (city-states) across this planet that share striking similarities and play a crucial role in the global governmental system we have long been living under.
- The three city-states (along with the role they serve) is as follows:
  
  City of London (finance)
  
  Washington DC (military)
  
  Vatican City (religion)
- The aforementioned city-states listed above are sovereign, corporate entities not connected to the nations they appear to be part of.
- In other words, the City of London (that is the square mile within Greater London) is not technically part of Greater London or England, just as Vatican City is not part of Rome or Italy.
- Likewise, Washington DC is not part of the United States that it controls.
- These sovereign, corporate entities have their own laws and their own identities.
- They also have their own flags. Seen below is the flag of Washington DC. Note the three stars, representing the trinity of these three city-states, also known as the Empire of the City.
- (There is also high esoteric significance to the number 3.)
- Washington DC was established as a city-state in 1871 with the passage of the Act of 1871, which officially established the United States as a corporation under the rule of Washington, which itself is subservient to the City of London.
- Corporations are run by presidents, which is why we call the person perceived to hold the highest seat of power in the land "the president."
- The fact is the president is nothing more than a figurehead for the central bankers and transnational corporations (both of which themselves are controlled by High Ecclesiastic Freemasonry) that really control this country and ultimately call the shots.
- Washington DC operates under a system of Roman Law and outside of the limitations established by the US Constitution.
- Therefore, it should not be a surprise that the name Capitol Hill derives from Capitoline Hill, which was the seat of government for the Roman Empire.
- If you look at the wall behind the podium in the House of Representatives, you will notice that on either side of the US flag is the depiction of bundles of sticks tied together with an axe. These are called fasci, hence the root word of fascism.
- This was the symbol of fascism in the Roman Empire, as it was under the Nazis and still is today.
- It is not a coincidence that these symbols are featured on the floor of Congress.
- Any American who thinks they are living in a free country does not have a clue.
- The fact is that the United States corporation is controlled from the City of London, by the Crown, which is not the British Monarchy as many believe,
- but rather the private corporation that is the inner 'City of London' itself, also commonly known as "The City" or "The Square Mile."
- This square mile that makes up the center of Greater London has its own mayor, laws, courts, flag, police force and newspaper. It is the heart of the global financial system.
- Vatican City also has its own mayor (called the Governatorate), laws, flag, postal service, newspaper, radio and television stations, and even its own prison.
- Another thing these three city-states have in common are their own obelisks.
- Obelisks are tall, four-sided shafts of stone which taper at the top in a pyramidal fashion. The obelisk is phallic in its appearance and represents the male penis.
- It is symbolic of the Egyptian sun god, Ra, and is an ancient symbol of male energy and generation (G) in Freemasonry.
- Vatican obelisk: Located in St. Peter's Square, the Vatican obelisk was moved from Egypt to its current location in 1586.
- The circle at the base on the obelisk represents the female vagina and thus male/female duality.
- Also notice the lines extending from the circle, forming a Union Jack as seen on the British flag.
- London obelisk (aka Cleopatra's Needle): Located on the banks of the River Thames, this obelisk was transported to London and erected in 1878 under the reign of Queen Victoria.
- The obelisk originally stood in the Egyptian city of On, or Heliopolis (the City of the Sun).
- The Knights Templars' land extended to this area of the Thames, where the Templars had their own docks.
- Either side of the obelisk is surrounded by a sphinx, also symbolism dating back to the ancient world.
- Washington Obelisk (aka Washington Monument): Standing at 555 feet, the Washington Monument is the tallest obelisk in the world and also the tallest standing structure in Washington DC.
- The monument's cornerstone, a 12-ton slab of marble, was donated by the Grand Lodge of Freemasons.
- Like the Vatican obelisk, the Washington monument too is surrounded by a circle denoting the female.
- The reflecting pool in front of the monument signifies the ancient Masonic/Kabbalistic dictum, as above/so below.
- We must first go back to the Knights Templar and their initial 200-year reign of power.
- So how are these three cities ultimately connected?
- The Knights Templar were first called "the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and the Temple of Solomon."
- This is a blatantly misleading title, considering the immense wealth and power of the Templars, who operated 9,000 manors across Europe and owned all the mills and markets.
- It was the Templars that issued the first paper money for public use in Europe, establishing the fiat banking system we know today.
- In England, the Templars established their headquarters at a London temple, which still exists today and is called Temple Bar.
- This is located in the City of London, between Fleet Street and Victoria Embankment.
- The aforementioned "Crown," to be exact, is the Knights Templar church, also known as the Crown Temple. It is the Crown Temple that controls the legal/court system of the US, Canada and many other countries.
- All bar associations are directly linked to the International Bar Association and the Inns of Court at Crown Temple in the City of London.
- Anytime you hear somebody refer to the Bar Association, they are talking about a British/Masonic system that has nothing to do with a country's sovereignty or the constitutional rights of its people.
- This is why, when you go to court in the US, you see the US flag with a gold fringe, denoting international rule.
- The government of the United States, Canada and Britain are all subsidiaries of the crown, as is the Federal Reserve in the US.
- The ruling Monarch in England is also subordinate to the Crown.
- The global financial and legal system is controlled from the City of London by the Crown. The square mile making up the center of Greater London is the global seat of power, at least at the visible level.
- The Temple Bar consists of what are called Inns of Court.
- There are four Inns of Court as follows: Inner Temple, Middle Temple, Lincoln's Inn and Gray's Inn.
- It is believed that the Inner Temple controls the legal system of Canada and Britain while the Middle Temple controls the legal system of the United States, though all Inns are themselves controlled by the same few at the top.
- Most Americans (and people in general) believe the US declared independence from Britain when this is simply not the case.
- Of the signatories to the Declaration of Independence, at least five of them were Temple Bar attorneys, all of whom had sworn allegiance to the Crown.
- Alexander Hamilton was one of the Middle Crown agents during the formation of the US and was assigned to set up the American banking system on orders from the Crown, to control the United States.
- In fact a 'State' is a legal entity of the Crown. This is why we also have the STATE of Israel.
- Furthermore, of the members of the Constitutional Convention that signed the completed US Constitution, seven were Middle Inn Templars who had also pledged allegiance to the Crown.
- Therefore, it is no coincidence that today copies of both the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution hang on the wall in the library of of the Middle Temple in London.
- To put it all in context, it is the Crown that controls the global financial system and runs the governments of all Commonwealth countries, and many non-Commonwealth 'Western' nations as well.
- The Crown traces back to the Vatican, which is headed by the Pope, who is the figurehead for the real powers that be behind the curtain, some of which are known but many of which are completely unknown to the general public.

PART FIVE: On The Road To Roswell 2007 -- a Discussion With Nick Pope

nick-pope tom-horn interview roswell 2007 mod uk great-britain official staff-member ufo abductions ghosts london encounters cosford-incident rendlesham-forest

This forced the RAF and
the MoD to think again, and the Department
has been investigating UFO sightings
pretty much continuously since then. To
date, there have been over 10,000
sightings reported to the MoD.
HORN:
What is the MoD's policy on UFOs?
112 more annotations...
- POPE:
  The policy is to investigate UFO sightings
  to see whether there's evidence of
  anything of any defence significance, i.e. evidence
  of any threat to the defence of the UK, or
  information that may be of use to us,
  scientifically or militarily.
- Having
  a UFO project in no way implies a
  corporate belief in extraterrestrial
  visitation. It simply reflects the
  fact that we keep a watchful eye on our
  airspace and want to know about anything
  operating in the United Kingdom's Air
  Defence Region.
- Although the British
  effort was on a much smaller scale, the
  terms of reference and methodology were
  virtually identical to that of the United
  States Air Force study, Project Blue Book.
- HORN:
  MoD also acknowledged that a government
  UFO unit, known as S4F (Air) and DI55,
  existed. Tells us about this unit and what
  they did (or do).
- POPE:
  S4(Air) no longer exists. It was a
  division that had responsibility for UFO
  investigations some years ago.
- Like any
  bureaucracy, the MoD undergoes frequent
  reorganisations where divisions are
  opened, closed, merged, split or
  restructured. It's a nightmare! So, over
  the years, all sorts of different areas
  have had responsibility for UFOs, leading
  some researchers to wrongly conclude there
  are many different areas of the MoD all
  working on the subject.
- In fact, at any
  one time, there'll be a division that has
  the lead for policy and
  investigations (i.e. where I worked)
  and a number of other areas on whose
  specialist skills and expertise the lead
  division can call.
- DI55 is part of the
  Defence Intelligence Staff. They were one
  of the specialist branches that I
  could bring in to assist me with certain
  aspects of my UFO investigations.
- Up until
  a few years ago I couldn't talk about this
  aspect of my work at all, or even
  acknowledge the existence of DI55.
- Recently, however, details have
  emerged under FOI, including some
  documents relating to my own dealings
  with them. But as I'm sure you'll
  understand, this is still an area of my
  work that I can't discuss in any great
  detail.
- HORN:
  How were you recruited into the UFO
  Project?
- POPE:
  I joined the Ministry of Defence in 1985. At
  the time, the policy was to move people
  every 2 or 3 years - either on level
  transfer or promotion - so that everybody
  gained experience in a wide range of
  different jobs: policy, operations,
  personnel, finance, etc.
- I'd done 2
  or 3 different jobs and prior to taking up
  my post on the UFO project I was
  working in a division called
  Secretariat(Air Staff), where I'd been seconded
  into the Air Force Operations Room in
  the Joint Operations Centre.
- I worked
  there in the run-up to the first Gulf War,
  during the war itself, and in the
  aftermath of the conflict.
- It was
  while working there that I was approached
  and asked whether, after I was released
  from duties in the Joint Operations Centre,
  I would like to run the UFO project, which
  was embedded in another part of
  Secretariat(Air Staff). I accepted
  the invitation. So, in a sense, I
  was headhunted.
- HORN:
  Did your views change from the time you
  started working with MoD until you left
  the department?
- POPE:
  I knew little about the subject before I
  joined and I certainly had no belief in
  extraterrestrials.
- So while I was open-minded
  in all my investigations, my start
  point was broadly sceptical.
- As I began to
  read into the archive of previous files,
  and as I began to undertake my own
  official research and investigation, my
  views began to change and I became more
  open to the possibility that some UFOs had
  more exotic explanations.
- What impressed
  me most were cases where UFOs were seen by
  trained observers such as police officers,
  where they were tracked on radar, where
  they were seen by pilots, and where there
  was evidence to suggest that UFOs were
  performing speeds and manoeuvres way ahead
  of the capabilities of even our most
  advanced aircraft.
  - The evidence convinced Pope of the reality of UFOs - on 2008-10-08
  Add Sticky Note
- My position now is that
  while I can't say what these UFOs are, the
  phenomenon raises important defence,
  national security and flight safety
  issues.
  - National security issues - on 2008-10-08
  Add Sticky Note
- I've seen no proof that these
  things are extraterrestrial, but I don't
  rule out this possibility.
- HORN:
  What were your procedures / protocols for
  investigating UFO sightings?
- POPE: We
  used to receive 200 - 300 reports each
  year and the methodology of an
  investigation is fairly standard.
- Firstly,
  you interview the witness to obtain as
  much information as possible about the
  sighting: date, time and location of the
  sighting, description of the object, its
  speed, its height, etc.
- Then you
  attempt to correlate the sighting with
  known aerial activity such as civil
  flights, military exercises or weather
  balloon launches. We could check with
  the Royal Greenwich Observatory to see if astronomical
  phenomena such as meteors or fireballs
  might explain what was seen.
- We could
  check to see whether any UFOs seen
  visually had been tracked on radar. If
  we had a photograph or video, we could get
  various MoD specialists to enhance and
  analyse the imagery.
- We could also
  liaise with staff at the Ballistic Missile
  Early Warning System at RAF Fylingdales,
  where they have space-tracking radar.
- Finally,
  on various scientific and technical
  issues, we could liaise with the Defence
  Intelligence Staff, although as I've
  said previously, this is an area of my
  work that I can't discuss in any detail.
- HORN:
  What did you conclude about the majority
  of your investigations?
- POPE:
  I concluded that sightings could be
  categorised as follows. Around 80% could
  be explained as misidentifications of
  something mundane, such as aircraft lights,
  weather balloons, satellites, meteors,
  etc.
- In approximately 15% of cases
  there was insufficient information to make
  a firm assessment.
- That left around
  5% of sightings that seemed to defy any
  conventional explanation.
- But while we
  could say with reasonable certainty what
  these 5% weren't, we couldn't say
  what they were.
- They were by
  definition unknown, unexplained, or
  whatever word you care to use.
- HORN:
  The Flying Saucer Working Party was set up
  in October 1950 by Ministry of Defence
  Chief Scientific Adviser Sir Henry Tizard.
  Was this a reaction to the 1947 Roswell
  incident or something else?
- POPE:
  It wasn't a reaction to the Roswell
  incident, but to increasing numbers
  of UFO sightings in the UK and elsewhere,
  and to the associated media coverage.
- As a
  scientist, Tizard knew that any assessment
  of UFOs not based on investigation was
  assumption and guesswork, and therefore
  meaningless.
- He didn't have any firm view
  on the phenomenon but he knew UFOs were
  being reported in considerable numbers and
  he wanted to know what they were.
- HORN:
  Britain's most sensational UFO case
  occurred in December 1980 in Rendlesham
  Forest , between RAF Bentwaters and
  RAF Woodbridge. Tell us about that.
  - Rendlesham Forest - on 2008-10-08
  Add Sticky Note
- POPE:
  This is the UK's most famous UFO incident
  and it's sometimes referred to as
  "Britain's Roswell".
- Over a
  series of nights in December 1980
  UFOs were seen by dozens of United States
  Air Force personnel at Bentwaters and
  Woodbridge, two RAF bases operated by the
  Americans.
  - December 1980: American military personnel encounter UFO - on 2008-10-08
  Add Sticky Note
- On the first night the UFO
  landed in Rendlesham Forest (which lies
  between the two bases) and one of the
  witnesses got close enough to touch it.
- Sketches from the USAF witness statements
  clearly show a craft with strange markings
  on its hull, which have been likened to
  Egyptian hieroglyphs.
  - An American airman actually touched the UFO. Also there were strange markings on it; likened to Egyptian hieroglyphics - on 2008-10-08

- The UFO returned on
  another night and was seen by more
  witnesses, including the Deputy Base
  Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Charles
  Halt.
- At one point the UFO illuminated the
  spot where Halt and his team were standing
  and at another time the UFO was directly
  over Woodbridge, firing beams of light
  down at the base.
- Subsequently, radiation
  readings were taken at the location where
  the UFO had been seen on the first night.
  They peaked in three indentations found
  where the craft had apparently landed.
- The
  MoD's Defence Intelligence Staff assessed
  that the radiation levels were
  significantly higher than background
  levels. Subsequently it emerged that a
  radar operator at RAF Watton had tracked
  an object briefly, over the base.
- I
  re-opened the investigation into this case
  but was unable to determine what happened.
  It remains unexplained.
- HORN:
  On 1 November 2006 you were involved
  with a Channel Five documentary, The
  British UFO Mystery. The programme focused on
  a wave of UFO sightings that occurred
  on 30 and 31 March 1993 -- The Cosford
  Incident -- where many of the witnesses
  were police officers and military
  personnel. What did you conclude about
  this case?
  - March 30 & 31, 1993: the Cosford Incident - on 2008-10-08
  Add Sticky Note
- POPE:
  We had a wave of UFO sightings over the UK
  for a period of about six hours. Many
  of the witnesses included police officers
  and military personnel.
- At one point the
  UFO flew over RAF Cosford and RAF Shawbury.
- Witnesses described a vast
  triangular-shaped craft capable of moving
  from a virtual hover to speeds of well
  over a thousand miles an hour in seconds.
  - The Cosford Incident: "vast triangular craft" - on 2008-10-08
  Add Sticky Note
- I led the investigation at the time and
  even my Head of Division, who was
  extremely sceptical about UFOs, was
  intrigued by this case.
- We even briefed
  the Assistant Chief of the Air Staff, one
  of the UK's most senior RAF officers.
- Channel Five's recent investigative
  documentary exposed the case to over a
  million viewers on primetime terrestrial
  TV and led to over 30 new witnesses coming
  forward. The production company had
  obtained the MoD case file on the incident
  (which ran to over 100 pages of
  documentation) under the Freedom of
  Information Act and asked me to front the
  programme, talking viewers through the
  case an the MoD investigation.
- As a result
  of the interest generated by the programme,
  the MoD made the file available on its
  website.
- The file includes my sceptical
  Head of Division's briefing to the
  Assistant Chief of the Air Staff, which
  states "In summary, there would seem
  to be some evidence on this occasion that
  an unidentified object (or objects) of
  unknown origin was operating over the
  UK".
- This is as close as
  the MoD will ever get to saying that
  there's more to UFOs than
  misidentifications or hoaxes.

- HORN:
  What were some of the other interesting
  UFO cases you investigated?
- POPE:
  It's difficult to single out interesting
  cases unless they're on the scale of
  something like Rendlesham Forest or the
  Cosford Incident.
- Also, it's
  difficult for me to talk about cases the
  MoD hasn't yet released. I can't
  anticipate what the Department will
  release and what they may withhold, so
  you'll have to await the release of the
  files.
- But in general terms I can say that
  other interesting cases included some
  radar/visual cases, cases where UFOs were
  seen close to military bases, and some
  interesting sightings by civil and
  military pilots - including a few
  near-misses, where collisions were only
  narrowly avoided.
- Both the MoD and our
  Civil Aviation Authority has information
  on several such cases, and whatever one's
  beliefs about UFOs, the flight safety
  implications should be of concern to
  everyone.
- When the MoD released Project
  Condign last year (a highly classified
  study that had its roots in discussions I
  had with the Defence Intelligence Staff in
  1993) some of the most interesting
  recommendations related to this point.
- One
  read "No attempt should be made to
  out-manoeuvre a UAP during
  interception".
- Another recommendation
  states "At higher altitudes, although
  UAP appear to be benign to civil
  air-traffic, pilots should be advised not
  to manoeuvre, other than to place the
  object astern, if possible".
- UAP
  was the abbreviated form of Unidentified
  Aerial Phenomena, a term we decided
  to use instead of UFO, as it sounded
  more scientific.
  - Definition of UAP - on 2008-10-08

- HORN:
  Why did you leave the MoD's UFO
  department?
- POPE:
  After having done the job for 3 years I
  was promoted and moved to another post at
  a higher grade.
- There's certainly no
  truth to the rumour that I was moved
  because I was getting too close to the
  truth, as some conspiracy theorists
  allege. After I left, I took up a
  financial policy post, before moving to a
  security-related job.
- HORN:
  Yet you still work in a different capacity
  at the Ministry of Defence, correct?
- I'd greatly enjoyed
  my 21 year career, but decided it was time
  to seek fresh challenges. I have a number
  of business interests and I now have more
  time to pursue these.
- POPE:
  No. I resigned last year and left the MoD
  at the end of October.
- HORN:
  I once asked Stanton Friedman a similar
  question I'd like to ask you. How do you
  respond to allegations that you're
  involved in a cover-up or that you're a
  disinformation agent?
- POPE:
  How can I respond? You can't
  prove a negative. The rumour
  isn't true, but if people believe this
  sort of thing they won't believe my
  denial, or the MoD's confirmation of my
  departure.
- It does amaze
  me though, how many people genuinely seem
  to believe this. I get asked it a lot and
  see the theory discussed frequently on
  various websites and discussion lists.
- The
  bottom line is that I worked for the
  Government for 21 years, for the very
  people who many conspiracy theorists
  believe are covering up the truth about
  UFOs. To them, the government are the bad
  guys, so I'm the bad guy, who's part of
  the conspiracy.
- HORN:
  Your
  investigations ultimately led to other
  unexplained phenomena. What do you make of
  so-called alien abductions?
- POPE:
  While none of these other subjects
  were in the UFO project's terms of
  reference, they inevitably ended up on my
  desk, because there was nowhere else to
  send them.
- I've probably looked into
  around 100 cases of alien abduction. Some
  of these cases were reported to me at the
  MoD, but most people contacted me after
  I'd written a book on the subject, called
  The Uninvited.
  - "The Uninvited": Nick Pope's book on alien abductions - on 2008-10-08
  Add Sticky Note
- Some sceptics say
  these people are attention seekers after
  their 15 minutes of fame, but this clearly
  isn't true.
- Out of the hundred or so
  abductees I've been involved with,
  maybe half a dozen are interested in
  engaging with the media or the UFO
  community. Most aren't interested.
- Other
  people suggest these people are
  delusional, but again, this theory doesn't
  stand up to scrutiny. The few scientists
  who have looked at this phenomenon have
  found no signs of psychopathology in the
  abductees, and evidence (in terms of
  increased heartrate and perspiration) that
  they genuinely believe they've had these
  experiences.
- The use of regression
  hypnosis in some of these cases clouds the
  issue. The scientific community
  generally doesn't accept the validity of
  the technique in recovering suppressed
  memories, and indeed many believe it can
  distort memories or even create false
  ones.
- But regression hypnosis isn't used
  in all abduction cases, so we can't say
  False Memory Syndrome is the answer.
  Something's going on with these people,
  but the truthful answer is that we don't
  know what's happening.
- HORN: Crop
  circles?
- POPE:
  Some of the small, single circles (and
  that's where the phenomenon started) may
  be attributable to some form of
  meteorological phenomenon such as a
  whirlwind or wind vortex.
- As for the
  more complex ones - the so-called
  pictograms - there's no doubt in my mind
  that most of them are made by people.
  - Manmade crop circles - on 2008-10-08
  Add Sticky Note
- I've
  seen it done. Some of the people
  involved in this are highly skilled and
  motivated, plan the formations
  meticulously, well in advance, and split
  the work between several people.
- Some
  people call them hoaxers but many of the
  people involved see themselves as
  conceptual artists. Do I completely
  rule out a more exotic explanation? No. In
  my line of work, I tried never to rule
  anything out altogether, and always tried
  to keep an open mind.
- HORN:
  Ghosts?
- POPE:
  People associate ghosts with old houses,
  churches or pubs, but in my experience
  there are just as many reports of ghosts
  on military bases as anywhere else.
- I've
  received numerous such reports, often from
  the MoD Police officers or guards who have
  to patrol these areas at night. Now, these
  are pretty tough guys, as you can imagine,
  but some of them have been really spooked
  by what they've seen.
  - Ghosts "haunting" military bases - on 2008-10-08
  Add Sticky Note
- All the classic
  signs are present in many of these cases: unexplained
  cold spots, guard dogs growling, with
  their hackles rising, at certain locations.
  And actual ghosts seen at sights where
  people have been killed.
- Ghosts have
  even been seen in MoD Main Building
  itself, where the modern headquarters is
  built on the site of the much older
  Whitehall Palace.
  - Modern MoD building constructed on parts of old "Whitehall Palace" - on 2008-10-08
  Add Sticky Note
- The remains of Henry
  VIII's wine cellar are perfectly preserved
  in the basement, and there are some
  areas of the building where guards don't
  like to patrol alone at night.
- Perhaps the
  oddest report I received was an animal
  ghost story. During the Second World War,
  Wing Commander Guy Gibson (who led
  the famous Damn Busters raid) had a dog
  that was knocked down by a car and
  killed, shortly before the raid. The ghost
  of this dog has been seen several times at
  RAF Scampton.

- HORN:
  You've written extensively about your work
  with MoD. Is this not a problem since you
  signed the Official Secrets Act?
- POPE:
  I signed the Official Secrets Act on my
  first day in the MoD and even though I've
  left, it binds me for life.
- But it
  doesn't preclude writing or speaking about
  my work. Politicians invariably keep
  diaries and write memoirs, and military
  officers often write accounts of their
  careers. There's no bar on this sort
  of activity, provided you follow various
  rules and procedures, the most obvious one
  being the absolute prohibition on
  revealing any classified information.
- HORN:
  Your books include "Open Skies,
  Closed Minds", "The
  Uninvited", "Operation Thunder
  Child", and "Operation Lightning
  Strike". Anything else you are
  working on?
- POPE:
  Researching and writing a book typically
  takes me between 6 months and a year.
  While I intend to write further books
  (both non-fiction and fiction) at some
  stage, the pressure of other commitments
  means that I simply don't have time for
  this at the moment.
- HORN:
  This is the 60th anniversary of the
  Roswell UFO incident. What is your opinion
  about what happened there in 1947?
- But
  in my experience, if UFO sightings aren't solved
  quickly, they're unlikely to be solved at
  all.
- POPE:
  Clearly something crashed.
- With that in mind, 60 years on,
  with most of the direct participants dead,
  the chances are we'll never be certain
  what happened at Roswell. Unless some
  'smoking gun' emerges that's beyond
  dispute, I suspect the events will remain
  a mystery.
- HORN:
  How do you think ufology can best use the
  60th anniversary of Roswell to promote the
  subject?
- But,
  fascinating though Roswell is, ufology
  should look forward as well as back.
  Promoting ufology should involve not just
  the old cases, but recent ones such as the
  sighting of a UFO over O'Hare airport or
  the sighting by the pilot who saw a UFO in
  the vicinity of the Channel Islands.
- It
  should also focus on the release of UFO
  files by the British and French
  governments. Finally, ufology might also
  consider how it could best engage
  with the scientific community, and in
  particular engage in constructive dialogue
  with those involved in SETI research.

- The mild euphoria that
  greeted the passage of the $700bn bail-out of Wall Street on Friday
  evaporated as traders digested the more bad news from Europe.
- The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell as much as 800 points during the
  session, slipping below the key psychological level of 10,000 for the first
  time since 2004.
- Just after the closing bell, the blue-chip index was down 340.49 points (3.30
  percent) at 9,984.89.
- A statement by Alistair Darling, the Chancellor, to Parliament failed to calm
  nerves with the stock market taking a further dive as he spoke.
- The Chancellor refused to outline firm plans to deal with the crisis –
  however, he confirmed the Government was working on a radical scheme which
  could be implemented in the coming weeks.

  "Our aim is to reduce uncertainty and improve confidence in financial
  markets," he said.
- The "process of change" would take time to work through and would
  require action not just at national level but internationally too.
- "It would be irresponsible to speculate on the specifics of future
  responses," he said. "Providing a running commentary could add to
  uncertainty in already febrile market conditions.
  
  "But all practical options must remain open to us."
- He added: "These are exceptional times and I'm in no doubt as to the size
  of the task facing us, and governments across the world, in bringing order
  to the financial system.

Illuminati Conspiracy Archive: Operation Sarkozy: how the CIA placed one of its agents at the presidency of the French Republic

They were hoping for a break with years of no-change and ideologies of the past. What they got instead was a break with the very principles which founded the French nation, and have been shocked by this “hyper-president”, seizing every day a new dossier, attracting towards him the right and the left wing, and tearing apart all points of reference to the point of creating a total confusion.

Later, when the “godfather” was liberated and chose to exile in Italy, they operated through his Corsican “Ambassador”, Étienne Léandri.

- In 1958, worried about a possible victory of the FLN in Algeria which could open the way to Soviet influence in Northern Africa, the United States decided to provoke a military coup d’Etat in France.
- The operation was jointly organized by the Cia’s Direction of Planning – theoretically lead by Frank Wisner, Sr. – and by NATO.
- But Wisner had already become senile by that time and it was his successor, Allan Dulles, who supervised the coup.
  - Good ole Dulles. His and his brother's name pop up and have been popping up for years whenever one reads something on the "conspiracy" for world government. - on 2008-09-07

- Out of Algeria, French generals organized a Public Salvation Committee which pressured the Parisian civilian authorities to vote full powers to General de Gaulle without having had to use force.
- In a first phase, he attempted to deal with the colonial contradiction by granting to the overseas territories a large autonomy within the French Union.
- Yet, Charles de Gaulle was not the pawn the Anglo-Saxons had believed they could manipulate.
- But it was already too late to save the French empire; the colonized people didn’t believe any longer in the promises of the Metropolitan France and demanded their independence. After victorious but fierce repression against those fighting for independence, de Gaulle decided to face reality, and in a rare show of political wisdom, he granted independence to each colony.
- The CIA and NATO supported then all kinds of plots to eliminate him, among which a missed coup and some 40 attempts to murder him.
- This turn about was perceived by most of those who brought him to power as a betrayal.
- However, certain of his followers approved of his political evolution. Around Charles Pasqua, they created the SAC (Civic action services), a militia to protect him.
  - A private militia organized to protect deGaulle. - on 2008-09-07
  Add Sticky Note
- Pasqua was both a Corsican bandit and a former resistant. He married the daughter of a Canadian bootlegger who made fortune during the prohibition and he directed the Ricard company who, after commercialising absinthe, a forbidden alcohol, won respectability by converting to the sales of another alcohol based on liquorice (anisette).
- The company continued however to serve as a cover for all sorts of traffics connected to the New York Italian American family of the Genovese (and) that of Lucky Luciano.
  - Again, the "Mob" and it's connections surface again as having ties with ad being used by Western governments to further their exclusive NWO policies. - on 2008-09-07
  Add Sticky Note
- It is therefore not surprising that Pasqua called on Étienne Léandri (Ambassador of Luciano) to recruit the hands that constituted the Gaullist militia. A third man played an important role in the formation of the SAC, the former body guard of de Gaulle, Achille Peretti, also a Corsican.
- Even though asserting his belonging to the Atlantic camp, he questions the Anglo-Saxon leadership. He opposes the entry of the United Kingdom into the European common market (1961 and 1967); refuses the deployment of UN helmets into Congo (1961); encourages the Latin American states to become free of US imperialism (speech of Mexico, 1964); kicks NATO out France and withdraws from the Atlantic Alliance’s integrated command (1966); he condemns Israeli expansionism during the Six Day war (1967); supports independence of Quebec (Speech of Montreal 1967), etc.
- Thus protected, de Gaulle designs an audacious national independence policy.
- Simultaneously, de Gaulle consolidated the power of France by endowing it with a military industrial-complex including a nuclear deterrent and guarantying its energy provisions.
- He conveniently distanced the encumbering Corsicans of his entourage by entrusting them with foreign missions. Thus, Étienne Léandri became a leader of the ELF group (today Total), while Charles Pasqua the trusted man of the Francophone heads of State in Africa.
- Conscious that he could not defy the Anglo-Saxons on all fronts at the same time, De Gaulle allied himself to the Rothschild family, choosing as Prime Minister, Georges Pompidou, who was the fondé de pouvoir of the bank.
  - deGaulle and the Rothschilds - on 2008-09-07
  Add Sticky Note
- The two men constituted an efficient tandem, the political audacity of the first never losing sight of the economic realism of the second.
- When De Gaulle resigned in 1969, Georges Pompidou succeeded him briefly at the Presidency before being taken out by a cancer. The historical Gaullists did not admit his leadership, however, and worried about his anglophile proclivities.
- They howled treason when Pompidou, supported by the General Secretary of the Élysée, Edouard Balladur, had “perfidious Albion” join the European Common Market.
- The making of Nicolas Sarkozy
- That decorum having been put into place, we can now return to our main character, Nicolas Sarkozy.
- Born in 1955 he is son to a Hungarian catholic nobleman, Pal Sarkösy of Nagy-Bosca, who sought refuge in France after fleeing the Red Army, and to Andree Mallah, a Jewish commoner from Thessalonica.
  - Sarkozy then is Hungarian on his father's side and a Greek Jew on his Mother's. - on 2008-09-07
  Add Sticky Note
- After having three children (Guillaume, Nicolas and François), the couple divorced. Pal Sarkösy of Nagy-Bocsa remarried with an aristocrat, Christine de Ganay, with whom he had two children (Pierre Olivier and Caroline).
- Nicolas will not be raised by his own parents alone, but will go back and forth within this recomposed family.
- His mother became the secretary of De Gaulle’s bodyguard, Achille Peretti. The latter, after founding the SAC, pursued a brilliant political career. He was elected Deputy and Mayor of Neuilly sur Seine, the richest residential suburb of the capital, and later President of the National Assembly.
- Unfortunately, in 1972, Achille Peretti comes under grave accusations. In the United States, Time Magazine reveals the existence of a secret criminal organization « the Corsican Union » which controls a large part of the drug trade between Europe and America, the famous « French connection » which Hollywood popularized on the large screen.
  - The "French Connection" - on 2008-09-07

- Based on parliamentary auditions and on his own investigations, Time names the name of a mafia boss, Jean Venturi, arrested a few years earlier in Canada, who is none other than Charles Pasqua’s commercial delegate at the liquor society Ricard.
- The names of several families headed by the “Corsican Union” are cited, among which that of the Peretti. Achille denies, but is forced to renounce to the presidency of the National Assembly, and barely escapes a “suicide”…
- In 1977, Pal Sarkösy of Nagy-Bocsa separates from his second wise, Christine de Ganay, who then gets together with the N°2 of the US State Department central administration. She marries him and settles in America with him. The world being very small, as everyone knows, her husband is none other than Frank Wisner, Jr, son of the previous.
  - Sarkozy's step mom, Christine de Ganay married the No-2 at the U.S. State Department, Frank Wisner, Jr..".son of the previous." - on 2008-09-07

- Junior’s responsibilities at the CIA are unknown, but it is clear that he plays an important role.
- Nicolas, who remains close to his mother in law, his half brother and his half sister, begins to turn towards the United States where he “benefits” from training programs of the State Department.
- During that same period, Nicolas Sarkozy adheres to the Gaullist party coming into frequent contact with Charles Pasqua, who was not only a national leader then, but also the head of the party’s Haut de Seine department section.
- Having finished Law School in 1982 and joined the Barr association, Nicolas Sarkozy married the niece of Achille Peretti. His best man was Charles Pasqua.
- As a lawyer, Sarkozy defended the interests of his mentors Corsican friends. He bought a property on the Island of Beauty, in Vico, and went as far as envisaging to make his name more “Corsican” by replacing the “y” by an “i”: Sarkozi.
- The next year, he was elected Mayor of Neuilly sur Seine in replacement of his uncle in law, Achille Peretti, thundered by a heart attack.
- However, it was not long before Nicolas Sarkozy betrayed his wife, and since 1984, he had a secret liaison with Cecilia, the wife of the most famous entertainer of French television at that time, Jacques Martin, whom he had met while celebrating their marriage, a function he exerted being mayor of Neuilly.
- That double life lasted five years, before the lovers decided to quit their respective couples in order to build a new home.
- In 1992, Nicolas was best man in the marriage of Jacques Chirac’s daughter, Claude, with an editorialist of Le Figaro.
- He couldn’t refrain himself from seducing Claude and having a short liaison with her, while officially living with Cecilia.
- The cuckold husband committed suicide by absorbing drugs. The break was brutal and without pardon between the Chirac’s and Nicolas Sarkozy.
- In 1993, the left lost the legislative elections. President François Mitterrand refused to resign and entered into cohabitation with a right wing Prime Minister.
- Jacques Chirac who ambitioned the presidency, and was thinking at that point of constituting, with Edoaurd Balladur, a couple comparable to that of De Gaulle and Pompidou, refused to be Prime minister and left his post to his “30 year long friend”, Edouard Balladur.
- In spite of his sulphurous past, Charles Pasqua became Interior Minister. While keeping high hand over Moroccan marijuana trade, he took advantage of his situation to legalize his other activities taking control of casinos, gambling and horse races in francophone Africa.

- He wove ties with Saudi Arabia and Israel and became an officer of honour to the Mossad. Nicolas Sarkozy on his part, became minister of Budget and spokesman for the government.

- It is then that tensions similar to those which rocked the Gaullist party 30 years earlier, broke out between the historical Gaullists and the financial right wing, incarnated by Balladur.
- The new element was that Charles Pasqua and along with him, the young Nicolas Sarkozy, betray Jacques Chirac in order to join the Rothschild current.
  - Rothschild again - on 2008-09-07
  Add Sticky Note
- Mayhem breaks out. The conflict will reach a climax in 1995 when Edouard Balladur ran for president, against his former friend, Jacques Chirac, and was beaten. Foremost, following instructions from London and Washington, the Balladur government opened negotiations for membership status to the European Union and NATO to States of Central and Eastern Europe who had freed from Soviet control.
- Havoc reigns then in the Gaullist party where the friends of yesterday are ready to kill themselves today. To be able to finance his electoral campaign, Edouard Balladur attempts to grab the secret slush fund of the Gaullist party, hidden in the double deckered accounting of the books of the oil group ELF.
- The ride through the desert
- Through out his first mandate, Jacques Chirac keeps Nicolas Sarkozy at arms distance. The man was discrete during his ride through the desert. Discretely, however, he continued to weave ties to the financial circles.
  
  In 1996, finally succeeding to bring to conclusion an endless divorce procedure, Nicolas Sarkozy marries Cecilia. Two billionaires were their best men, Martin Bouygues and Bernard Arnaud (the richest man of the country).
- The final act
- Way before the Iraqi crisis, Frank Wisner Jr. and his colleagues at the CIA plan the destruction of the Gaullist current and the coming to power of Nicolas Sarkozy.
- They move in three phases: first, the elimination of the leadership of the Gaullist party and the take over of the party apparatus, then the elimination of his main right wing rival and the securing the nomination to the presidential election for the Gaullist party; finally, the elimination of any serious challenger on the left to make sure that Nicolas would win the presidential election.
- Before dying from a terminal disease, for reasons which remain unknown, he decided to video tape his confessions and for reasons which are even more obscure, the “cassette” landed in the hands of a Socialist party leader, Dominique Strauss Kahn, who addressed it indirectly to the media.
- During years, posthumous revelations by a real estate dealer kept the media on their toes.
- While the confessions of the real estate dealer did not lead to any juridical sanctions, they opened up the Pandora’s Box.
- The main victim of the series of scandals was Prime Minister Alain Juppé. To protect Chirac, he assumed alone all the penal sanctions. The removal of Juppé from the front lodges opened the way for the take by Sarkozy of the leadership of the Gaullist party.
- Sarkozy exploited then his position to force Jacques Chirac to take him into the government once again, in spite of their reciprocal hatred.
- This post gave him control over the prefects and the internal intelligence apparatus which he used to gain positions of power over the large administrations.
- In the end, he became Interior Minister. Mistake !
- He dealt also with Corsican affairs. Prefect Claude Érignac was murdered. Even though nobody claimed it, the murder was immediately interpreted as a challenge by the independentists to the Republic.
- Following a long hunt, the police managed to arrest a fleeing suspect, Yvan Colonna, son of a Socialist deputy. Caring little about the presumption of innocence, Nicolas Sarkozy announced the arrest, accusing the suspect of being the assassin.

- The news is too important, a mere two days away from the referendum the minister has organized in Corsica to modify the status of the island. Be as it may, the electors reject the Sarkozy project, who, according to some, favoured mafia interests.
- While Yvan Colonna was ultimately declared guilty, he always claimed his innocence and no material proof was ever found against him. Strangely, the man preferred to remain totally silent rather than reveal what he actually knew.
- We reveal here that prefect Érignac was not directly killed by the nationalists, but by a paid killer, immediately exfiltrated towards Angola where he was hired to the security of the Elf group.

- The mobile of the crime was precisely connected to the previous functions of Érignac, responsible for the African networks at Pasqua’s cooperation ministry.
- As for Yvan Colonna, he is a personal friend of Nicolas Sarkozy since decades and their children have entertained social relations.
- A new scandal broke out then: phoney computer listings were circulating falsely accusing several personalities of hiding bank accounts in Luxembourg, at Clearstream.
- Among the defamed personalities: Nicolas Sarkozy, who filed a suit insinuating that he suspected his right wing rival to the presidency, Dominique de Villepin, to have organized this machination.

- Sarkozy didn’t hide his intention either to throw him in jail.
- What the judges ignored and which we reveal here is that the listings were fabricated in London by a common office of the CIA and of MI6, Hakluyt and co, of which Frank Wisner is also an administrator.
- Villepin denied the accusations, but was indicted, assigned to residence and, de facto, eliminated from political life temporarily.

- It remained for the opposition candidacies to be neutralized. The membership fees to the Socialist party were reduced to a symbolic level in order to attract new activists. Suddenly, thousands of youth take membership cards. Among them, there were at least 10 000 new members who are in reality militants from the “Lambertist” Trotskyite party, (named after its founder Pierre Lambert).

- It is not the first time the “Lambertists” infiltrate the Socialist party. They introduced there two notorious CIA agents : Lionel Jospin (who became Prime minister) and Jean Christophe Cambadelis, the main advisor to Dominique Strauss Kahn.
- Primaries were organized inside the Socialist party to designate its candidate to the presidential election.
- Two personalities were competing: Laurent Fabius and Ségolène Royal. Only the first was a danger for Sarkozy.
- Dominique Strauss Kahn came into the race with the mission to eliminate Fabius at the last moment. Something he did with the help of the votes of the infiltrated “lambertists”, who voted not for him but for Royal.
- Frenchmen ignore that he teaches at Stanford, where he was hired by the prévot Dean of the University, Condoleeza Rice. From the beginning of his term, Nicolas Sarkozy and Condoleeza Rice will thank Strauss Kahn by having him elected to the leadership of the International Monetary fund.

- The operation is possible because Strauss Kahn is since long on the pay roll of the United States.
- First days at the Élysée
- The evening of the second round of the presidential election, when polling agencies announced his probable victory, Nicolas Sarkozy gave a short speech to the nation from his general campaign quarters. Then, contrary to all custom, he didn’t celebrate with the militants of his party, but went to the Fouquet’s.
- The famous brasserie at the Champs-Élysées, formerly the place of rendez-vous of the “Corsican union” is today the property of Casino magnate, Dominique Desseigne. It was lent to the elected president to receive his friends and main campaign donors. Some hundred guests crowded there, the richest men of France hobnobbing with the casino bosses.
- The elected president then offered himself some days of well merited rest.
- Transported to Malta by a private Falcon 900, he relaxed on the Paloma, a 65 m yacht of his friend Vincent Bollore, a billionaire trained at the Rothschild bank.
- Finally, Nicolas Sarkozy was inaugurated president of the French Republic.
- The first decree he signed was not to enact an amnesty, but to authorize the casinos of his friends Desseigne and Partouche to multiply the money machines.
- He composed his working team and his government. Without surprise, one finds there an ominous casino owner (the minister of Youth and Sports) and the lobbyist of the casinos of his friend Desseigne (who became a spokesman of the “Gaullist party”.)
- Nicolas Sarkozy relies above all on 4 men:
  
  - Claude Guéant, secretary general of the Elysée Palace, the former right hand of Charles Pasqua.
  
  - François Pérol, under-secretary general of the Elysée, an associate manager of the Rothschild bank.
  
  - Jean-David Lévitte, diplomatic advisor. Son of the former director of the Jewish Agency. French ambassador to the UN, he was removed by Chirac who judged him too close to George Bush.
  
  - Alain Bauer, the man of the shadows. His name does not appear in the directories. He is in charge of the secret services. Former Grand Master of the French Great Orient (the most important Masonic organization in France) and former N°2 of the United States National Security Agency in Europe.

- New escapade during the summer. Nicolas, Cecilia, their common mistress and their children went on holidays to the United States at Wolfeboro, not far from the property of President Bush.

Olympic Tower of Memory or Babel Revisited?
By SHARON K. GILBERT

August 25, 2008
20 more annotations...
- SOMETIMES television inspires; sometimes it disgusts; sometimes it teaches. Last night’s NBC airing of the Chinese Olympics’ Closing Ceremonies managed to do all the above plus more: it programmed and revealed.
- If you missed it, I’m betting YouTube will soon have it.
- But if you were there last night, comfy on your couch, then you may have had the same reaction Derek and I had at the ‘in-your-face’ symbolism called ‘The Memory Tower’.
- As with the imagery in Greece back in 2004, China’s pageantry captivated the imagination, and implanted pagan ideas.
- Greece showed us Mercury bringing fire to humanity, ironically repeated in August on the very night of China’s opening ceremony (08-08-08 — the triple ‘888′ is Christ’s number — read ‘AntiChrist’ or ‘False Christ’ here) when Russia and Georgia opened fire in the Caucasus, the very region where Prometheus (Mercury) delivered his fiery gift.
- China’s fire theme began with the Torch Relay that bore the symbol of the Phoenix (aka the Firebird, the Eagle of Lagash, and is emblazoned on Russia’s flags — two headed Eagle).
- This Promethean Relay tracked the longest route ever taken for the Flame since the tradition was re-ignited by Hitler in 1936.
- On 08-08-08, the fire of the gods entered the ‘Bird’s Nest’ (Phoenix Nest), where the fire settled on top of a massive cauldron which looked remarkably like the Torch held by the Statue of Liberty (China owns most of the US economy, and George Bush sat next to Putin during the opening ceremonies).
- One might even see phallic symbolism in the massive torch, another sign of impending birth (or in the case of the Phoenix - rebirth).
- Remember that movie, The Number 23? 23 is supposed to be a cosmic trigger.
- Take special note that ‘W’ is the 23rd letter in the English alphabet.
- Well, on August 23rd, this flame, atop a torch not unlike Liberty’s (Liberty is aka Columba or Diana — Princess Diana was killed in August) was extinguished only to be re-ignited in the hearts and memories (Jungian idea of ‘race memory’) of humanity.
- We all remember how Princess Diana asked to be remembered? She wanted to become the Queen of Hearts, and she is revered now by some as Queen of Heaven (Semiramis, mother of the Sun King).
- Notice how the ‘Memory Tower’ of the Closing Ceremonies strongly resembles Athanasius Kircher’s Tower of Babel painting. If you missed the ceremonies, this Memory Tower shows the hopes of athletes and the world as we anticipate the 2012 Games in London, home of the Illuminati Elite.
- Surely it is not coincidence that this ‘burning tower’, indicative of a rising Phoenix and a Gateway to Heaven, point to the very year when the sun will rise out of the mouth of the Dragon (Leviathan)?
- Is someone or something signalling a return of the Sun (Son)? Hint: William turns 30 in June 2012, on the Summer Solstice. Christ began His ministry at age 30.
- Will 2012 see a return to one-world thinking and of the Once and Future King, Arthur Pendragon (William’s second name is Arthur, so he could call himself King Arthur)?
- If 2012 marks the end of The Age (precessional reset — Mayan year 13.0.0.0.0.0), then the entire world might be set ablaze, metaphorically or perhaps even literally.
- Either way, dear friends, the clock is ticking. It is now 1,432 days until London’s Opening Ceremonies commence. And the Lord God Jehovah watches as each of us chooses sides.
  
  Which side will you choose? As for our house, we choose to serve the Lord — Christ Jesus.

  In honor of your, “Aahhh”, responses to interesting facts from guests on your podcasts, let me share an interesting fact that I came across today. In the above article, you wrote about observations regarding the number 23. Well, to have a quorum in the Sanhedrin, there must be 23 members present. I’m not sure if it even is a dot to connect, but the number sure jumped out at me when I saw it.

- New book sees Jerusalem real estate as roadmap to future events

- Was the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem more than a place of worship?
- Was it, indeed, a roadmap to future events – a kind of prophetic landmark whose significance is only now revealed through the development of satellite imagery?
- That is the contention of an explosive new book, "Temple at the Center of Time: Newton's Bible Codex Deciphered and the Year 2012," by David Flynn.
- The book asserts it has "deciphered Isaac Newton’s greatest paradox: None other than 'the unified field theory' of Bible prophecy."
- Sir Isaac Newton was not only a great thinker in physics, the book explains, but had extensive knowledge of the Scriptures with a special interest in prophecy.
- Newton believed there was a hidden code, a type of time-encrypted language. He believed the key to deciphering this code was the Temple of Solomon.
- He wrote extensively on the length measurements of the Temple and suggested it intersected time and dimension, serving as a prophetic and supernatural structure.
- According to Flynn, although Newton never cracked this code, he was on the right track and was limited only by the lack of sophisticated satellite technology.
- "The description of Jerusalem as a terrestrial center point, situated in the center of the world, is found in Philo's Legatio and Gaium," Flynn notes.
- "The world is like a human eyeball. The white of the eye is the ocean surrounding the world, the iris is this continent, the pupil is Jerusalem, and the image in the pupil is the Holy Temple."
- To make his case, David starts by illustrating what the reader soon learns is the first of numerous extraordinary time-distance anomalies.
- The prisca sapentia framework of Newton suggests that the distance between the temple of Jerusalem and the capital city of any nation historically effecting the chronicles of Jerusalem would be supernaturally connected.
- This relationship would be significant with respect to units of time, expressing meaning in line with God's divine plan as recorded in the word of his prophets.
- See for yourself the theories of Flynn's book:
- Newton and Flynn point out how Ezekiel recorded the dimensions of the future temple in chapter 40 of his book, starting with the lengths of the temple gates, chambers, courts, walls and its exterior.
- After this, calibrations of weights and measure for the temple functions were given in detail.
- Finally, the distance of land outward from the temple was measured.
  
  And he brought me thither, and, behold, [there was] a man, whose appearance [was] like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate. (Ezekiel 40:3)
- The measure of distance away from Jerusalem in this text implies a spiritual significance, says Flynn.
- A relationship between Jerusalem and the nations existed from the foundation of the temple, but was not completely perceived – and could not be fully known until the conventions of modern science.
- For instance, if a measurement is made from the point of the temple of Jerusalem's foundation stone to the palace of Balthazar – the political center of Babylon and the exact location where the writing on the wall occurred – the distance should relate to the period in which Babylon most influenced Jerusalem.
- Such a relationship exists and is the important distance of 539.86 statute miles.
- What makes this measurement unusual is that Babylon, which played such a significant role in Hebrew antiquity, was measured and numbered in its relationship to Jewish history in Daniel chapter five during the famous handwriting on the wall.
- When the prophet interpreted the manifestation, he proclaimed in verses 25-28:
  
  And this is the writing that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE, God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it; TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting; PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
- That very night King Belshazzar was slain, and Darius the Mede became king.
- Babylon fell to the Medes and Persians on the 16th day of Tishri of the Jewish calendar, which correlates to Oct. 12, 539 B.C.
- Curiously, the number 539 is also the distance in statute miles between the temple of Jerusalem's foundation stone to the palace of Balthazar, as confirmed by modern satellite measurement.
- Does this give insight to the handwriting on the wall or the dating and measuring of Babylon's affairs in the history of Israel?
- Does this imply that Babylon's influence over Israel was supernaturally predated and measured, or foreknown?
- Or was this just a fascinating coincidence? As the first of such discoveries made by Flynn, he wondered the same thing.
- So Flynn studied epic moments having to do with the sovereignty of Israel and the nations that played key roles in Hebrew and Jewish history.
- Over and over he found fascinating date-measurement anomalies connecting pivotal moments in time to the temple in Jerusalem. He went through annals, considering when acts by world leaders had influenced the development of the Jewish state. He continued to find more.
- A case in point was the relationship between Napoleon Bonaparte and the Jews.
- Napoleon had previously encountered the prophecies of the Old Testament in the Jewish community of Malta, which he liberated under French law in 1798.
- For hundreds of years, the Knights Hospitalier of Saint John of Jerusalem had oppressed the Jews by enslaving them and preventing open worship.
- One of Napoleon's first acts after banishing the Knights was to allow the Jews to build a synagogue, and the community of Jews on Malta welcomed Napoleon as a conqueror equal to Cyrus the Great.
- They believed their liberation by him was the fulfillment of the "king of the North" prophecy in Daniel 11.
- This was followed on the first day of Passover, April 20, 1799, when Napoleon issued his proclamation of a Jewish state of Palestine.
- On May 22, 1799, the Paris newspaper, Moniteur Universel, announced: "Bonaparte has published a proclamation in which he invites all the Jews of Asia and Africa to gather under his flag in order to re-establish the ancient Jerusalem. He has already given arms to a great number, and their battalions threaten Aleppo."
- Although the proclamation did not come to fruition, it increased a drive for Jews worldwide to pursue a sovereign state in Israel.
- Napoleon's ideas were also embraced by many who viewed them as a fulfillment of ancient prophecy, even some belonging to the Church of England.
- This is important because Paris was named after the Paris, a Celtic people who settled on this central island in the 3rd century B.C.
- The city later spread outward from this point along the banks of the Seine River.
- This island is considered the birthplace of Paris and was the site of the city's earliest settlements.
- It was home to the French Kings from A.D. 400 to A.D. 1300. The royal palace and parliament were located on the western side of the island.
- Extending a measuring line from this historical center of Paris to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem shows the distance in nautical miles, 1,799.
- The intriguing connection to Flynn's book is clear: Napoleon made a proclamation of historical importance to the Jewish nation in the year 1799, and perhaps not coincidently the distance from Paris to the Temple Mount in nautical miles corresponds perfectly at 1,799.
- As findings like these stack up and the mathematical improbability of Flynn's disclosure increases, one of the most extraordinary parts of the book is unveiled when we learn how the year 1948 is marked by time-distance relations to the Temple location and several other mind-boggling dates and places, both past and future, which we will not divulge here.
- However, a peek into this section of the book finds discussion of how Britain was the nation that was "friendly to the Jews" and enabled them to return to Israel over 200 after Newton's death.
- The British defeated the Ottoman Turks and became administrators of the land of ancient Israel in 1917. Through mandate after World War I and World War II until 1948, London was the heart of the governing intellect over the region.
- London's original location at its founding is an important point in establishing the exact value of time and distance between it and Jerusalem's Temple.
- The Romans established Londinium in about A.D. 47.
- It was a civilian settlement built where the Thames became narrow enough for a bridge to be built across it but was still deep enough to admit large ocean vessels.
- In the 16th century, William Camden believed that the "London Stone" was a Roman milestone from which all distances were measured in the province.
- In the 17th century, Christopher Wren was able to observe the foundations of the London Stone underneath Cannon Street during the rebuilding of London after the Great Fire.
- With this information, it is possible to extend a measuring line from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem to the exact center of ancient London, and by fixing a point on the site of the temple mount, a measuring line extended over Jerusalem to the center of London produces 1,948.40 nautical miles.
- Therefore, incredibly, recorded in the earth between the Temple Mount of Jerusalem and the historic center of London is what Flynn sees as the fulfillment of Newton's own prediction: Israel became a nation again May 14th, 1948, corresponding perfectly to a distance between the temple and London of 1948 nautical miles.
- As the reader moves through Temple at the Center of Time, these time-length correlations accumulate quickly, including numerous ancient dates such as 1441 B.C. when the Exodus from Egypt occurred. It turns out is 1,441,000 feet from the Jerusalem Temple to the Great Pyramid in Giza.
- Flynn finds dozens of other key dates in the past through similar satellite mapping measurements including some related to the United States, Russia and Rome.
- Before it is even officially released, Flynn's book is causing a sensation in some circles where it is being compared to "The Bible Code."

Mystery deepens surrounding Kincardine area explosions

- The mystery has deepened surrounding explosions that shook the Kincardine area last Thursday with University of Western Ontario scientists ruling out a meteor shower.
- “Something pretty significant exploded south and west of Goderich and Kincardine. It could have exploded out in Lake Huron,” said Dr. Peter Brown, associate professor in the department of physics and astronomy at Western and the Canada Research Chair of meteor science.
- Highly sensitive devices installed near Lucan by Western to monitor low frequency sound waves detected a series of four impulses that lasted about a minute, starting at 11:12 p.m. on July 31.
- Five minutes later a low frequency rumbling was detected coming from the Kincardine area.
- “If you had been in London and it was really quiet outside, you should just have been able to hear the low rumble from these explosions. That’s unusual at this sort of a distance,” said Brown.
- With Ontario’s largest nuclear plant located just north of Kincardine, the explosions have triggered international media interest.
- Officials at Bruce Power have said there was nothing unusual at the nuclear station.
- South Bruce OPP were inundated with 911 calls shortly after 11 p.m. that night with residents describing walls shaking and windows rattling.
- Brown said the signals detected at Lucan, probably five or six minutes after the original blast, were intense.
  
  If it had been caused by a meteor, there should have been a bright fireball in the sky, he said.
- The university has a camera system at Kincardine aimed at the sky to capture the image of any meteors.
- “We have already looked during the time interval of interest,” said Brown. “It was clear that night and no meteor.”
- The monitoring devices at Lucan indicate all of the explosions occurred in the same area south and west of the Kincardine area and south of Goderich.
- In the past, the same instruments have picked up mining explosions in Wyoming in the western U.S. and the Shell refinery explosion in Sarnia.
- “Based on frequency content and the phenomenology of the signals, these are not consistent from what we would expect from a meteor at all,” said Brown.
- But the signals also don’t fit another theory, that it was caused by a sonic boom from a jet, he said.
- “They are not all that consistent with shockwaves you would see with supersonic aircraft,” he said.
  
  The closest fit for the signals from the explosion, particularly the low rumbling, would be surface blasting at a mine, Brown said.
- The only mine in the area is Sifto Salt’s underground operation at Goderich.
- A worker at the mine yesterday who lives nearby said he has never felt any tremor from blasting at the salt mine that stretches under the lake.

- Barack Obama outside 10 Downing Street. Photograph: Jim Young/Reuters
- He has a devilish, wicked, lopsided little half-smile,
- and the instincts in his face want him to use it.
- Just as well, really, because it pulls him back into the realm of humanity, and without it we might be in danger of trading hallelujahs and tugging his frayed hem.
- 'He's not the President,' reprimands the copper keeping crowds at bay outside the House of Commons. 'Yes, he is!' wails a fat white sunburnt American. 'He's my President! Let me throooough, man, let me through!'
- 'He's not the President,' comes the (angrier, screechier, more frustrated and didactic) cop's reply. 'He's a ...'
- Because there was something utterly messianic about the visit yesterday to London of what polls increasingly have down as the United States' next President.
- Not least the presence of mortals gathering to be sprinkled with stardust, PMs and PMs-in-waiting among them.
- There was a rather significant mention of the 'transatlantic' alliance, as opposed to the 'special relationship' that we Brits seem to get so high on;
- Barack Obama said a few things yesterday, and said them well.
- a taut and careful and supremely successful nuancing of the Europhilia he possesses and which gives liberals hope.
- Rather than boring on with soundbites about the 'special relationship', he simply talked - hesitantly sometimes, but always thinking - of what Britain and America have in common. He spoke of the rule of law and due process, before adding, more winningly: 'We just like the people! There is a deep and abiding affection for the British people in America and a fascination with all things British that's not going to go away any time soon.'
- He wants, as he said in both France and Germany, some help with troops in Afghanistan, while wanting to get out of Iraq. Again, the nuancing. He also spoke, unheedingly, of the 'stalwart' assistance given by British troops.
- But, mainly, he simply appeared, and sprinkled that stardust.
- Gordon Brown could be seen beaming.
- Obama wasn't allowed, through protocol, to grasp Mr B's hand outside for the cameras, as he is only a presidential candidate, and it wasn't done for John McCain's visit. But there was an Obama arm swiftly around Gordon's shoulders, and a (rather fluid) returning lower-back pat, before the door shut.
- Asked, a little later, about Brown's prospects, he said thoughtfully: 'You're always more popular before you're in charge. Once you're responsible, you're going to make some people unhappy.'
- Gordon and Barack walked together - a few minutes out at the back of Downing Street around St James's Park. Apparently they talked about economies, global warming, terrorism, Middle East stuff.
- Obama had been up at about four in the morning to do the same thing at breakfast with a tired-looking Tony Blair.
- Apparently Obama sleeps for four hours every night.
- In the garden there was something going on. Psychologists have a word for it - mirroring? Transference? Both had dark suits, done up with one button in the middle, and white shirts, and silky reddish ties, their left hands in their pockets, and their right hands gesturing, constantly.
- Back in the garden, Gordon waved his right hand to show him various trees. Nobody quite knows why. Nor what he was saying.
- our Prime Minister did indeed seem to be genuinely, sunnily, smiling.
- Twenty minutes later, Obama met David Cameron in the grounds of the Commons, and Cameron did the same. Waved his arms and showed him shrubs. Don't they have trees in Illinois?
- Mr Obama is now the world's most recognisable phenomenon.
- There were, by 11 yesterday morning, hundreds of fans standing in King Charles Road, round the corner from Downing Street, cameras and phones held high.
- There were banners: 'Mr B Obama you are a ray of hope 4 billions of young men and women around the globe'.
- There were tears, really. Crying. Logos. Slogans. Hope.
- The woman on the Clapham omnibus quite literally rose to her feet. A big old belching red number 88 was the first vehicle stopped at 12.44 as Obama's convoy fled the gates of Westminster to head back to Illinois. She stood up, earrings and sunglasses bouncing, shouting through the glass, furiously snapping away on her phone, ecstatic.
- The woman on the Clapham omnibus is our 'How will it play in Peoria?' in America.
- But the bus was going, for once, too fast, leaving on the retina only the shimmering slick of an advertising flyer for, I assume, a film called Space Chimps Go Bananas. There was a cartoon monkey. Disappearing fast. Perhaps you want to provide the Bush metaphor?
- And now Mr O, with his wickedly easy smile, has been flying, home, and very possibly listening to Leonard Cohen, and smiling. First we take Manhattan. Then we take Berlin.
- It's all gone rather well. And you are going home, sir, very possibly to a historic victory on 4 November, and this was a canny little trip, so well-judged, and your aides will be enjoying a Scotch or two on the way. Why wouldn't you want to smile?
