"ISIS Poses Greater Threat Than 9/11, Prepare For Everything"

US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel talks about the "imminent threat" ISIS poses to the US and the World.. .and pulls no punches in his total fearmongery..."ISIL poses a threat greater than 9/11. ISIL is as sophisticated and well funded as any group we have seen. They're beyond just a terrorist group. They marry ideology with a sophisticated strategic and tactical military prowess and they're tremendously well-funded. This is way beyond anything we have seen. We must prepare for everything. Get Ready!" Time for some QE-funded deficit-busting war spending...

ISIS: Turkey’s Bastard Child

Simple Logic Shows Turkey is in Bed with ISIS. When ISIS started a demolition of all shrines and tombs, even those that are attributed to prophets like Jonah and even Muslim religious icons, ISIS blew up these holy places accusing them as magnets to practices considered as sacrilege. Yet, only Turkish shrines were off limits. When it comes to the shrine of the grand father of the Turkish Ottomans “Suleiman Pasha” inside Syria, and in the areas under ISIS, not only did ISIS refrain from destroying these, but facilitated the entry of Turkish troops to such shrines in order to protected them.

When the most extremist Muslim group in the world overlooks what is “sacrilege,” rest assured there is a deal.

ISIS is a turkish baby which carries the circle signet on its flag “Muhammad is Messenger of Allah” which is found in a replica of Muhammad’s signet ring at the museum of Topkapi in Istanbul Turkey.

Today the ISIS is estimated at 50,000 fighters 5,000 of which are Turks including 3 million Turkish sympathizers and the Turkish government has not shown any concern. Than we look at the armament sources of arming the ISIS and al-Nusra may come from the Jordanian border, but the bulk amount of weapons, according to reports and investigations and according to Resolution 2170 came from Turkey. This is confirmed when the 27-year-old ISIS commander, identified as Abu Yusef, who traveled to the town of Reyhanlı in the southern province of Hatay explained that they received most of their supplies from across the Turkish border until a recent crackdown against them.

“We used to have some fighters — even high-level members of the Islamic State — getting treated in Turkish hospitals. And also, most of the fighters who joined us in the beginning of the war came via Turkey, and so did our equipment and supplies,” Yusef told the Washington Post.

If ISIS is not a Turkish baby, why is Turkey than refraining from entering the U.S.-French alliance to rid the world from the possessed little demon? Turkey offered nothing when the U.S. offered to lob a silver bullet into ISIS’s heart and even prevented the U.S. from using its land for launching such attacks.

Ankara needs its little devil.

It doesn’t mind the partition of Iraq and the emergence of the state “Caliphate,” and Mosul as its capital. The ISIS serves as a dismantling machine of all secular regimes to prepare the runway for the soon emerging grand Caliph Erdogan. Turkey is in the process of removing the restrainer which kept the Antichrist Caliphate regime bound for several decades, for its these powers that has always kept the rise of the Caliphate at bay. Erdogan also sparked the 2007 Ergenekon proceeding that has ended with the former head of the Turkish military, General Ilker Basbug, and many others who were ordered to serve life in prison, and by this Erdogan removed his restrainer, yet more restrainers will be removed through much blood shed and lawlessness. 

For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.

.

The situation in Iraq also benefits Turkey with the flow of oil in the fight against Saudi Arabia. Turkey has an old score to settle when Arabia helped dismantle the Ottoman Caliphate when it collaborated with the British when Sharif Hussein bin Ali fired the first symbolic shot from his palace towards the Jeroul Turkish military base in Mecca; thus launching the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Government.

Saudi influence in Iraq dates back to World War I, which brought the British Empire to Iraq, and with them, the Saudi dynasty. During the war the British government followed a policy of supporting the Arab revolt by the sharif of Mecca against the Ottoman Empire. Faisal, the first king of Iraq, was the third son of Hussein bin Ali, the sharif of Mecca.

Its an old score that will be settled sooner or later. There is also an Iranian old vendetta from 1979 for all the Wahhabi enmity against Shiites desiring to spread its revolution accusing Saudi Arabia of being an agent of the United States and questioning Saudi authority over Mecca.

It is always crucial to understand that when it comes to the spread of Caliphate ideology, we should not isolate Turkey giving birth to ISIS, but keep in mind that Arabia is the mother of all bastards and its day of reckoning is coming when her own bastard recruits into Islam, the religion she gave birth to will ravish and burn her.

“The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire.” (Revelation 17:16)

The Ottomans will never succeed in putting the Ottoman Humpty-Dumpty back together and its influence will only encompass 10 regions of its original sphere. Turkey will soon allow Kurdistan to finally take shape since even the independence of Kurdistan is beneficial for Turkey since its at odds with Baghdad, Turkey would consider Kurdistan the opportunity it has to be the only passage of oil and gas through them since there will be no respect for the sovereignty of Iraq and the Iraqi constitution.

Perhaps one of the hidden clues that the ISIS baby has Turkish DNA is when the Malaysian police foiled plans this week for a wave of bombings drawn up by pro ISIS terrorists.  “The 19 suspected were formulating plans to bomb pubs, discos and a Malaysian brewery”  said Ayob Khan Mydin, deputy chief of the Malaysian police counter-terrorism division. Ayob Khan told AFP that the group, all Malaysians, had visions of establishing a hard-line Southeast Asian Islamic caliphate spanning Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines and Singapore, and some of those arrested were apprehended at airports on the way to none other than Turkey to seek training and support from ISIS.

Than we have a leaked video from an ISIS training center in Turkey:

“Destroy and blow up our enemies, victory is near .. young men, enroll, land and win .. young men its our religion attack with your weapons and win .. spread throughout the earth and raze the strongholds of the unbelievers” says the speaker.

“Those who believe and immigrate and participate in Jihad with their monies and selves have the highest rank with Allah and are the winners” adds the speaker. This is from the heart of Turkey which produced its bastard child ISIS.

N.Korea Moves Tanks, Armored Vehicles to Chinese Border

North Korea has moved scores of tanks and armored vehicles to an Army corps near the border with China in Ryanggang Province. The 12th Corps, which was established in 2010, is tasked with responding to movements of Chinese troops in an emergency.

A source on Monday said about 80 tanks have been deployed in Ryanggang Province, where there had not been a single one before. The corps has been "turned into an attack force after it has been reinforced" with an armored infantry unit, a unit of multiple rocket launchers, and a special warfare and sharpshooter brigade.

Some 80 new armored vehicles are expected to be deployed soon to the 42nd Brigade in the province. Leader Kim Jong-un has reportedly ordered the rapid deployment of these new vehicles, which have a top speed of 80km/h carrying 10 to 15 troops.

More than 10 new tanks with an automatic fire-control system and a computer monitor have also been deployed to this unit.

The source attributed the moves to fears that sole ally China could "betray" the North amid increasing pressure on Pyongyang to give up its nuclear program.

FORBIDDEN SECRETS OF THE LABYRINTH Part Number 8

PART 8 - Nimrod and the Legend of the Craft

s

After Adam and Eve’s expulsion from the locus amoenus, the Nachash maintained an active role in his intervention. In the new world outside of the garden, ultimately the curse given to him by God would manifest itself via the Redeemer from the line of Eve. To circumvent this and render the word of God undependable, the ben ’elohiym, or “sons of God” also known as the “Watchers” or “fallen ones”came to earth. They would manipulate the dust creature’s God-formed characteristics so that they would cease to be from the line of the woman and not fully human.

The Bible mentions this in Genesis, chapter 6:

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. (Genesis 6:4)

The extrabiblical text known as the Book of Enoch written by Enoch, the great grandfather of Noah, gives an account of this incursion:

And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters.

And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: “Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children.”

And Semjâzâ, who was their leader, said unto them: “I fear ye will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.”

And they all answered him and said: “Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.”  Then sware they all together and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it.

And they were in all two hundred; who descended in the days of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it.

And these are the names of their leaders: Samîazâz, their leader, Arâkîba, Râmêêl, Kôkabîêl, Tâmîêl, Râmîêl, Dânêl, Êzêqêêl, Barâqîjâl, Asâêl, Armârôs, Batârêl, Anânêl, Zaqîêl, Samsâpêêl, Satarêl, Tûrêl, Jômjâêl, Sariêl.

These are their chiefs of tens.[i]

The Hebrew meanings for the name “Hermon,” like many others involved with the early actions of the Nachash, are revealing. “Hermon” (Chermown, חֶרְמוֹן) means “a sanctuary” from the root, charam (חָרַם), “to ban, devote, destroy utterly, completely destroy, dedicate for destruction, exterminate, to prohibit, to consecrate, devote, dedicate for destruction, to be devoted, be forfeited, to split, slit, mutilate,  to mutilate, to divide.”

Enoch continues:

And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants. And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against them and devoured mankind. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another’s flesh, and drink the blood. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.[ii]

Apart from the terrible results of the interbreeding between the fallen ones and humans, the Watchers bought menknowledge. Enoch continues, relating the individual names and skills attributed to each:

And Azâzêl taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways.

Semjâzâ taught enchantments, and root-cuttings,

Armârôs the resolving of enchantments,

Barâqîjâl [taught] astrology,

Kôkabêl the constellations,

Êzêqêêl the knowledge of the clouds,

Araqiêl the signs of the earth,

Shamsiêl the signs of the sun, and

Sariêl the course of the moon.

And as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven.[iii]

God sent a flood to end the evil havoc caused by the Watchers, but He allowed for the continued existence of a specific uncorrupted line of humanity, Noah and his family:

And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth….

And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. (Genesis 6:13, 17)

Nimrod

According to the book of Genesis, after the Great Flood, Nimrod (“rebellion”) was the king of the “land of two rivers” known as Shinar. He was the son of Cush, who was the son of Ham, who was the son of Noah.

He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. (Genesis 10:9)

The word used for “mighty” in the Hebrew is gibbowr(“strong,” “mighty”). Its intensive form is gabar, which, in addition to “mighty,” means “to act proudly.” Gesenius’ Lexicon adds, “to prevail, to bind up anything broken.”

Additionally the word for “hunter” in the Hebrew adds to the identification of Nimrod’s characteristics. The word used for hunter is tsayid (צוּד), meaning simply “to hunt.”Gesenius adds an interesting contrast: “צוּד…used as a metaphor for snares laid for men.”[iv]

In the same way that the illuminated fraternities of today believe that they will eventually be able to achieve immortality though the knowledge given by the angel of light, Nimrod hoped to regain the power of knowledge bestowed by the Watchers. With the technological knowledge retained from before the Flood, he conspired to build a tower that would make the communication between men and the Watchers not only possible once more, but continuous. The tower was not necessarily a device that would cause men to become gods immediately, but an intradimensional conduit that would once more bring the assistance of the Watchers who would make men gods like themselves through theknowledge they provided.

Flavius Josephus described the building of the tower of Babel:

Now it was Nimrod who excited them to such an affront and contempt of God. He was the grandson of Ham, the son of Noah, a bold man, and of great strength of hand. He persuaded them not to ascribe it to God, as if it were through his means they were happy, but to believe that it was their own courage which procured that happiness. He also gradually changed the government into tyranny, seeing no other way of turning men from the fear of God, but to bring them into a constant dependence on his power. He also said he would be revenged on God, if he should have a mind to drown the world again; for that he would build a tower too high for the waters to reach. And that he would avenge himself on God for destroying their forefathers.

Now the multitude were very ready to follow the determination of Nimrod, and to esteem it a piece of cowardice to submit to God; and they built a tower, neither sparing any pains, nor being in any degree negligent about the work: and, by reason of the multitude of hands employed in it, it grew very high, sooner than any one could expect; but the thickness of it was so great, and it was so strongly built, that thereby its great height seemed, upon the view, to be less than it really was. It was built of burnt brick, cemented together with mortar, made of bitumen, that it might not be liable to admit water. When God saw that they acted so madly, he did not resolve to destroy them utterly, since they were not grown wiser by the destruction of the former sinners; but he caused a tumult among them, by producing in them diverse languages, and causing that, through the multitude of those languages, they should not be able to understand one another. The place wherein they built the tower is now called Babylon, because of the confusion of that language which they readily understood before; for the Hebrews mean by the word Babel, confusion.[v]

The loss of the unifying power of common language was an exacting form of punishment toward the efforts of Nimrod. His attempt at reconnecting with the light givers failed. Reading, writing, and storytelling ceased. As the tower fell and its builders wandered away in confusion, the chance for communion between men and the fallen angels ended and erased humanity’s possession of Watcher-given knowledge from before the Flood.

Ninus

Ninus was the legendary son of Belus or Bel (Ba’al or “lord”), whose reign lasted fifty-two years, from the year 2189 BC. He was said to have been the first to use dogs in hunting and the first to tame horses. He controlled a vast army of more than two million soldiers and used them to conquer much of the territory that surrounded modern-day Iraq from the shores of the Mediterranean to the east as far as India. He has been depicted in Greek mythology as a centaur. Alexander Hislop has also recognized Ninus as Nimrod, son of Cush, in his book, The Two Babylons.[vi]

The Legend of the Craft

In one of the oldest manuscripts concerning the origins of Freemasonry, The Legend of the Craft, Ninus or Nimrod is mentioned as possessing knowledge gained from before the Flood of Noah. It also mentions the tower of Babel and Naamah the weaver who closely resembles the Egyptian goddess Neith:

We shall now tell you how this science was begun. According to the fourth chapter of Genesis, before Noah’s flood, there was a man called Lamech who had two wives, one called Ada and the other Zillah. The first wife Ada bore him two sons, Jabal and Jubal, and the second wife Zillah bore him a son and a daughter, tubal-Cain and Naamah. These four children found the beginning of all the crafts in the world. Jabel, the eldest son, found the craft of Geometry, and he was the first person to divide lands and flocks of sheep and lambs, and he was also the first to build a house of wood and stone. Jubal found the craft of Music, Tubal-Cain the craft of the Smith and Naamah the craft of Weaving. Now these children knew that God would take vengeance upon the earth, either by fire or water, and in order that their discoveries might be preserved to future generations they wrote them upon two pillars of stone; one of marble, which would not burn in fire, and the other of lattress, which would not drown in water.

After the destruction of the world by flood, Hermes, who has been called the Father of Wise Men, found one of the pillars and taught the sciences written thereon to other men. At the building of the Tower of Babel, masonry was in great repute, and Nimrod, the King of Babylon, was himself a Mason and a lover of the craft, so that when Nineveh and other cities of the East were about to be built, he sent thither three score masons at the request of his cousin, the King of Nineveh, and when they went forth he gave them a Charge in this manner:—That they should love each other truly, in order that no discredit should fall on him for sending them, and he also gave them a charge concerning their science. These were the first Masons who ever received any charge.[vii]

Nineveh

According to the Greek historian Diodorus Siculus (c. 90–30 BC) the founder of the city of Nineveh was Ninus.Genesis chapter 10 mentions that Nineveh was built after Nimrod had established the cities in the land of Shinar.Nineveh was a great center of commerce. Archeological digs have uncovered massive walls eight miles in perimeter, aqueducts, palaces and a library that features twenty thousand clay tablets, including accounts of the flood in the Epic of Gilgamesh.[viii]

The Jewish Encyclopedia mentions that the form of the name Nineveh is “derived from the Masoretic text and is close to the native Assyrian for Ninua.” The origin of the name is obscure, but possibly means “the seat of Ishtar,” since Nina was one of the Babylonian names of that goddess. The Assyrian ideogram means “house or place of fish.”[x]

Nineveh, famous for being the residence of the successive kings of Assyria, remained the capital of the kingdom throughout the centuries and was regarded by Greek writers as its permanent capital, virtually equivalent to the country itself. The people of Nineveh worshipped the fish god Derceto, the mother of Semiramis, the wife or daughter (or both) of Ninus, who has also been thought to be Nimrod.[xi]

Semiramis

Semiramis was the daughter of Derceto of Ascalon (Ashkelon) and a mortal father. Derceto abandoned Semiramis at birth and threw herself into a nearby lake. She is the Assyrian version of the Anatolian Cybele, the Babylonian Ishtar and the Egyptian Isis.

The Greek historian Diodorus Siculus wrote about the birth of Semiramis and how she came to be associated with doves:

Now there is in Syria a city known as Ascalon, and not far from it a large and deep lake, full of fish. On its shore is a precinct of a famous goddess whom the Syrians call Derceto; and this goddess has the head of a woman but all the rest of her body is that of a fish, the reason being something like this. The story as given by the most learned of the inhabitants of the region is as follows: Aphrodite, being offended with this goddess, inspired in her a violent passion for a certain handsome youth among her votaries; and Derceto gave herself to the Syrian and bore a daughter, but then, filled with shame of her sinful deed, she killed the youth and exposed the child in a rocky desert region, while as for herself, from shame and grief she threw herself into the lake and was changed as to the form of her body into a fish; and it is for this reason that the Syrians to this day abstain from this animal and honour their fish as gods. But about the region where the babe was exposed a great multitude of doves had their nests, and by them the child was nurtured in an astounding and miraculous manner; for some of the doves kept the body of the babe warm on all sides by covering it with their wings, while others, when they observed that the cowherds and other keepers were absent from the nearby steadings, brought milk therefrom in their beaks and fed the babe by putting it drop by drop between its lips. And when the child was a year old and in need of more solid nourishment, the doves, pecking off bits from the cheeses, supplied it with sufficient nourishment. Now when the keepers returned and saw that the cheeses had been nibbled about the edges, they were astonished at the strange happening; they accordingly kept a look-out, and on discovering the cause found the infant, which was of surpassing beauty. At once, then, bringing it to their steadings they turned it over to the keeper of the royal herds, whose name was Simmas; and Simmas, being childless, gave every care to the rearing of the girl, as his own daughter, and called her Semiramis, a name slightly altered from the word which, in the language of the Syrians, means “doves,” birds which since that time all the inhabitants of Syria have continued to honour as goddesses.[xii]

Doves were also considered sacred to the fish-goddess Derceto, also known as Ataratheh. She was known to the Greeks as Aphrodite Derceto,[xiii] and as Deasura, the goddess of Syria, to the Romans.[xiv]

The port city of Ashkelon, where the birth of Semiramis was said to have occurred, is the same mentioned in Judges 14:19, where Samson went to slay thirty men after they had “plowed with his heifer”:

And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father’s house.

The Greek historian Ctesias of Cnidus (c. 400 BC) through his access to the royal historical records as the court physician of Artaxerxes II (435–358 BC) claimed that a King Ninus and Queen Semiramis had lived in Nineveh. Diodorus added to Ctesias’ accounts in his Bibliotheca Historica.

During the siege of Bactra, Ninus met Semiramis and married her because he was impressed by her bravery. At that time, she was already the wife of one of his officers named Onnes. Onnes later committed suicide over his loss. According to Diodorus, Semiramis and Ninus then had a son named Ninyas.

During one of Ninus’ later campaigns, he was struck by an arrow and fatally wounded. Semiramis disguised herself as her husband (in some account as her son Ninyas) and continued to command his army, ultimately conquering all of Ethiopia. She also restored ancient Babylon and had high brick walls built as fortifications surrounding the city.

Later, in honor of her husband, Semiramis erected a temple tomb in Babylon that was said to be ten stadia (according to the Greek historian Herodotus, one stadia is equal to approximately six hundred feet) broad and nine stadia high.[xv]

Although mankind’s ability to communicate in a common language was lost at the fall of the tower of Babel, the remembrance of the event remained. Nimrod-Ninus and Semiramis have later been ascribed to the gods Marduk and Astarte (also known as Ishtar). They and the followers of their cult were responsible for the construction of various towers or ziggurats throughout the Mesopotamian region commemorating the attempt by Nimrod to reestablish the link to the Watchers.

Additionally, the gods and goddesses worshipped throughout the region of Anatolia and Mesopotamia were often depicted wearing a peculiar, “tower-like” headdress known to the Greeks as the polos (introduced in chapter 5), a high, cylindrical crown that was depicted on goddesses of ancient Anatolia and also used by the ancient Greeks and Romans. Cybele, Hera, and Artemis are often shown wearing the castle- or turret-like polos. The polos reflected not specifically their association with Nimrod, but the connection to the heavens that mimics the tower of Babel.

The word asherah (אֲשֵׁרָה) is Hebrew for “pole” or a “grove for idol worship,” or the Canaanite mother goddess, Asherah. The Hebrew word for the practice of worshipping a goddess in the form of a wooden pole, as well as a word for “pole” came from the name of the goddess herself.

God expressly hated the use and worship of Asherah poles:

You must never set up a wooden Asherah pole beside the altar you build for the Lord your God.

And never set up sacred pillars for worship, for the Lord your God hates them. (Deuteronomy 16:21–22)[xvi]

The Asherah goddess who had contact with the light bringer was worshipped in the form of a pillar, pole, tree, or fountain (discussed in chapter 6 of the upcoming bookForbidden Secrets of the Labyrinth) reaching to heaven, and was associated with the meleketh shamayim,meaning “queen of heaven.” God was especially angered by the people of Jerusalem who worshiped her:

The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead [their] dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. (Jeremiah 7:18)

The Roman historian Ammianus Marcellinus (AD 320–390) credits Semiramis, like her counterpart Cybele, as the first to use eunuchs as slaves.[xvii] Her traditional reputation as a harlot is similar to the Babylonian goddess Ishtar and Greek Hecate. At her temple in Hierapolis Bambyce, located in northern Syria, her statue was displayed with a golden dove above her head.[xviii]

Doves were the symbol of the Babylonian Ishtar and Assyrian Astarte, who was associated with the Greek Aphrodite and the Anatolian Artemis. The Latin wordcolumba means “dove” or “pigeon.” The subterranean chamber tombs used in the ancient world had the same appearance as the places built to house doves. The word for both “a dove keeper” and for the “chamber in which urns containing the ashes of the dead are stored” iscolumbarium (columba, “dove,” and arium, “a place for”).[xix]

The familiarity the ancients had with chamber-like crypts and their similarity to the chambers that housed doves led to the double meaning of the word. The idea of resurrection mirrors the image of the energetic doves flying out of the same chambers that housed the dead. The ancient people who put energy towards the worship of their respective goddesses believed that they would gain favor or blessings from them. They also looked to these deities for life after death.

The word columbia literally means “the country of the doves” or, more sinisterly, “the country of sepulchral chambers”—but a more complete meaning of the term would be “the country of the resurrection.” This meaning alludes to the ancient deity that Washington, DC—the District of Columbia—is dedicated to, the Anatolian Cybele-Attis goddess who is the same as the Greek Pallas Athena.

Illustrations of School Classics written 1903 by Sir George Francis Hill features an image of an interesting coin from the Temple of the Aphrodite in Paphos, Cyprus, issued during the reign of Garacalla showing a conical stone as well as a star, crescent, and sacred doves.

Hill writes:

The coin is inscribed KOI NO N KVTTPinN, as being issued by the associated cities of Cyprus. The temple consists of a high central portion with two lower wings or porticoes and a fore-court. In the central portion is a large conical stone, which was supposed to be the goddess herself. Above (not well-pre-served) are a star and crescent, the symbol of the goddess. The wings contained sacred columns—or tall incense-altars—and on the roof of each is one of the sacred doves.[xxi]

In a story similar story to the birth of Attis, the son of Cybele, Tammuz, was later born to Semiramis.[xxii] His birth was considered a miracle, since it was late after the death of Nimrod. Semiramis herself declared it a “fatherless” birth, the god Marduk reborn. Tammuz and Ishtar are like Attis and Cybele in a variety of ways. He and his mother Ishtar were said to have loved each other and married. In Mesopotamia, his cult also worshipped during March[xxiii] in a dramatic processional ceremony that lamented his unfortunate demise wherein he had been killed and taken to the underworld by jealous demons.

In the story of Isis and Osiris, Cybele and Attis, and Semiramis and Tammuz, the son/husband of each goddess “dies,” but continues to endure in some eternal fashion, waiting to be reborn. Each is described as being desired and loved by their goddess-mothers and are greatly mourned. Looking at the story of the garden through the eyes of the Nachash, the woman had desiredhis assistance. After he had given it, his appearance changed from what it was before their interaction, and he was “lost,” changed by the curse of God.

And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life. (Genesis 3:14)

The curse given to the Nachash is the meaning of the death of each goddess’ son. He is thought of as Eve’s son since she had a part in his change (birth) to the lowly serpent, and her husband since they were “wed” in the formation of the Nachash-Eve religious amalgamation. The hoped-for resurrection of the son/husband is the plan of the enduring cherub to rise as the phoenix in human form, throwing off the serpent curse to become the false savior of man who would lead all to the knowledge of resurrection and immortality.

Prometheus, Ebola, and the Coming Days of Woe

Joseph Herrin
Apocalypse by Viktor Vasnetsov

The media has been giving much attention in recent days to the Ebola outbreak in Africa, fearing that it may spread to other continents and nations of the world. Ebola is a particularly frightening sickness due to its rapid onset and development and unusually high mortality rate. Some media figures have suggested that 80% - 90% of people infected with Ebola end up dying. It sounds like the ultimate dream virus for Malthusian globalists like Prince Philip, Ted Turner, and Bill Gates who believe the world is horribly overpopulated and that humanity needs to be greatly reduced in numbers. Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh and husband of Queen Elizabeth II, infamously stated, “In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, to contribute something to solving overpopulation.”

I occasionally listen to The Corbett Report, produced by James Corbett who resides in “the always sunny climes of Western Japan.” Not having visited his site in a couple months, I thought to do so in order to see if he had shared any thoughts on the media’s peddling of the Ebola story. I was not disappointed. James had some good insights to share on the subject.

http://www.corbettreport.com/episode-293-the-ebola-effect/

There is both an audio and a video form of this broadcast available at the link above. I will share this caveat. James Corbett perceives much of the deception and egregious error in this fallen world system, but he is not a disciple of Christ and his philosophy is that of an anarchist. He propounds the view that government is evil and that man would be much better off without human government. It is hard to deny that the governments of this world are responsible for fomenting wars, committing horrendous atrocities, and imposing upon humanity an oppressive totalitarian rule. Yet, Yahweh’s answer to corrupt government is not anarchy (absence of government and absolute freedom of the individual, regarded as a political ideal). Yahweh’s solution is righteous government where men rule according to His will and divine character.

I encourage the reader to listen to the broadcast above as I do not intend to repeat the information presented by James Corbett. I believe he has some thoughts on this topic that would be worthwhile for individuals to consider. I think his thoughts regarding the motive for hyping the Ebola virus at this time are particularly insightful. The powers that be are seeking to condition mankind to accept the imposition of medical martial law, and the justification for requiring all mankind to receive vaccinations that have not been demonstrated to be safe or effective. These vaccines may be used for malicious purposes such as to sterilize humanity, making it impossible for reproduction to take place. The idea that vaccines are being engineered to produce human sterility, or infertility, is not new. A great amount has been reported on this subject. Below are links to two web pages discussing this subject.

It should be noted that in some school districts, children are not permitted to attend public school unless they have been vaccinated. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, just before he exited office, signed into law a requirement that NYC school children receive an annual flu shot in order to attend school. The side effects and efficacy of these vaccines are very troubling, and the potential for the government to intentionally introduce pathogens that meet some nefarious goal of the global elite is a very real possibility. Keep in mind, the U.S. government has used its own citizens as guinea pigs on many occasions, causing deliberate harm to people for some private end goal. Following is an excerpt from a Wikipedia entry on unethical human experimentation in the United States.

The experiments include: the deliberate infection of people with deadly or debilitating diseases, exposure of people to biological and chemical weapons, human radiation experiments, injection of people with toxic and radioactive chemicals, surgical experiments, interrogation and torture experiments, tests involving mind-altering substances, and a wide variety of others. Many of these tests were performed on children, the sick, and mentally disabled individuals, often under the guise of "medical treatment". In many of the studies, a large portion of the subjects were poor, racial minorities or prisoners.

Funding for many of the experiments was provided by United States government, especially the United States military, Central Intelligence Agency, or private corporations involved with military activities.

Nor has the U.S. government limited this experimentation to her own citizens. Not long ago the news reported that after World War II the U.S. government deliberately infected numerous Guatemalan citizens with syphilis and gonorrhea, many dying as a result as the government withheld proper treatment from nearly half of those infected to follow the progression of the disease.

The syphilis experiments in Guatemala were United States-led human experiments conducted in Guatemala from 1946 to 1948, during the administration of President Truman and President Juan José Arévalo with the cooperation of some Guatemalan health ministries and officials. Doctors infected soldiers, prostitutes, prisoners and mental patients with syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases, without the informed consent of the subjects, and treated most subjects with antibiotics. This resulted in at least 83 deaths. In October 2010, the U.S. formally apologized to Guatemala for conducting these experiments.

If you have the time, I recommend the following video on the tragic health consequences of vaccinations.

http://youtu.be/K1m3TjokVU4

As is often the case when the evil actions of men cannot withstand exposure to the light of truth, there is a growing movement to make it illegal to speak out publicly about the harmful effects of immunizations. Recently, the media has blamed outbreaks of the measles and whooping cough on the anti-vaccine segment of the population. Those who have dug into the statistics, however, have discovered that the areas with the greatest outbreaks of measles and whooping cough have higher than normal rates of vaccinations against these diseases. The sad truth is that the vaccinations themselves cause the disease in many individuals, even as the flu vaccine causes many individuals to experience flu symptoms.

I had been praying about the subject of the media and government attention on the Ebola virus for a few days, as it had been so much in the news. I wanted to understand what Satan’s agenda was in pushing this story out before the masses at this time. This resulted in my listening to The Corbett Report linked above. The next day as I was continuing to pray and meditate upon this matter I felt “led” to re-watch a movie I had purchased over a year ago. The movie is titled Prometheus. I wrote a report on it back in May of 2013 when I wrote about the children’s movie Wreck-It Ralph. Following is an excerpt.
---
Satan is depicted as Prometheus, whose statue is set in Rockefeller Plaza in New York City.


Prometheus Bringing Fire to Mankind

Those who understand the mysteries of the Luciferian doctrines know that Satan would cast himself in the light of the friend of man when he tempted Adam and Eve to eat of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Albert Pike, Supreme Commander of Scottish Rite Freemasonry in the late 1800s and author of the Masonic manual Morals and Dogma, said that it is Jehovah who is the evil god, depicting Yahweh’s judgment upon Satan by casting him out of heaven as cruel and unjust. Lucifer is presented by his disciples as the friend of man, bringing light to the world.

The statue of Prometheus bringing fire down from heaven and giving it to mankind, is one of the most evident pieces of art found on the Rockefeller Center complex. It is a re-telling of the story of Lucifer who offered to mankind forbidden knowledge. An Internet website shares the following commentary on this statue found on the Rockefeller property.

This statue depicts Prometheus, a Titan of Greek mythology known for his great intelligence. He has however betrayed the god Zeus by stealing fire and giving it to mankind. He is credited to have taught mankind the arts of civilization such as writing, mathematics, agriculture, medicine, and science. Zeus then punished Prometheus for his crime by having him bound to a rock while a great eagle ate his liver every day only to have it grow back to be eaten again the next day.

Paul Manship’s sculpture featured in the Sunken Plaza of the Rockefeller Center portrays Prometheus holding the fire stolen from Zeus and gliding towards humanity. He lies inside a ring in which are outlined the signs of the Zodiac. Behind the statue is an inscription saying:

“Prometheus, teacher in every art, brought the fire that hath proved to mortals a means to mighty ends.”

Substitute the name Prometheus for Lucifer, and you will perceive the true substance of this monument. Lucifer was judged by God, not for a benevolent act on behalf of mankind. Lucifer’s fall actually occurred prior to Adam and Eve’s residency in Eden. It is described by the prophet Isaiah

Isaiah 14:12-14
"How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, you who have weakened the nations! But you said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit on the mount of assembly in the recesses of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.'”

Satan is seeking to sell an image of himself as a benevolent friend to mankind. No doubt this is why Yahshua was so blunt in speaking the truth about this angelic rebel.

John 8:44
“You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.”

John 10:10
"The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy...

I had recently been seeing advertisements for a new movie that is now out on DVD that is titled Prometheus. Knowing that Prometheus is an occult personification of the image Satan has created for himself, a heavenly being who was horribly and unrighteously judged by the god of heaven for a gift to mankind, I found the timing of this movie’s release interesting. I wanted to find out a bit more about it and came across the following short video that was released as a promo for the movie. As you watch it, bear the following in mind:

Peter Weyland, the super wealthy industrialist and businessman speaking, is a type of those corporate masters today who are enthralled with Lucifer. They have become Lucifer’s champions, and Yahshua’s enemies. Pride and deceit are their cloak. Peter Weyland ends this short diatribe by declaring, “If you will indulge me, I would like to change the world.” This is precisely the attitude of that cabal of the world’s super wealthy who are seeking to bring forth a New World Order.

http://youtu.be/jb7gspHxZiI


In the actual movie, a much older Peter Weyland addresses the crew of the space ship named Prometheus who have been sent out to make contact with the “gods” who seeded life on Earth. He speaks the following words.

The Titan Prometheus wanted to give mankind equal footing with the gods. For that, he was cast from Olympus. Well, my friends, the time has finally come for his return.

Once more, substitute the name Lucifer, or Satan, for Prometheus, and you will understand better the hour in which you live. (In the movie the first image of the captain of the ship named Prometheus shows the captain adorning a small Christmas tree after having awakened from a two year sleep during their journey. This scene is a senseless anomaly, unless you understand the link between Prometheus/Lucifer and the Christmas tree. I recommend the following post to you and pray that you will never again set up a Christmas tree in your home.)

Prometheus - Captain Janek - Christmas Tree



Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center with Statue of Prometheus Below

Realize that Satan firmly controls Hollywood. He uses the movies as a channel to broadcast his words and thoughts to mankind. Through the movie Prometheus Satan is announcing that the time is at hand for his ascension.
[End Excerpt]

At the beginning of the movie, the crew of the scientific space ship Prometheus have just spent two years in cryogenic sleep as they traveled to their destination. They arrived on Christmas day in the year 2093. It seems an odd thing for someone arriving at an alien planet after two years in hibernation to set-up and adorn a Christmas tree as their very first act after having been awakened. The symbolism is an esoteric one that very few movie watchers would understand. The Christmas tree is not a Christian symbol. It was nowhere part of the feast days of Yahweh, nor the traditions and practices of the apostles. The Christmas tree is entirely pagan in origin, symbolizing the Titan Prometheus (aka Satan) giving gifts to mankind. The star at the top of the Christmas tree represents Lucifer, the light bearer, who brought to mankind knowledge that was forbidden by God. Looking again at the image of Rockefeller Plaza, you see that right under the Christmas tree where the gifts would be placed is the statue of Prometheus bearing fire for mankind. The meaning is plain. Satan/Prometheus is a bringer of gifts to humanity. It is he whom the elite of this world serve and worship. They have accepted the temptation of Satan that Yahshua rejected when the adversary said, “If You will bow down and worship me I will give to you the kingdoms of this world.”

Among the gifts Prometheus was said to have brought to humanity is fire. Early Christmas trees were decorated with candles that were lit, symbolizing the gift of fire. Today the candles are replaced with electric lights. Notably, Captain Janek has a lighted cigarette in his mouth as he decorates the Christmas tree. Thus, aboard the ship named Prometheus, he is decorating the Christmas tree which is a symbol of Prometheus, while he holds in his mouth the fire which was a gift from this Titan.

I do not find Prometheus to be a pleasant movie to watch, populated as it is with selfish, prideful, and arrogant characters who act with evil intent. Most of the characters fail to engender much affection. There are a few exceptions, as the main character Elizabeth Shaw is portrayed as a person of strong faith in God, and she demonstrates compassion, strength, and a hunger for truth. The captain of the ship (despite his idolatry) and two of his crew also sacrifice themselves to prevent an alien ship from launching and destroying the earth. Beyond these characters, all other individuals are dark and evil.

It had probably been a year and a half since I watched this movie. I stated that I felt “led” to watch it again yesterday. I did not know why I should watch the movie, but as I did some things stood out that I had not noted previously. In particular, there is a pointed reference to the disease Ebola in the movie. Let me provide some background information before describing the scene.

At the very beginning of the movie we see Elizabeth Shaw as a young girl with her father in Africa. They are speaking while a procession goes by carrying a dead body to a funeral. We are not told anything about Elizabeth’s father, but he seems to be an attentive father who cares much for his daughter as he patiently answers her questions. We see him also see him giving a cross necklace to his daughter. Further searching online reveals that Mr. Shaw was a priest, though we are not told what religious denomination he belongs to. Since he speaks English I am guessing he may be Anglican.

During the movie we see that Elizabeth has a boyfriend who is a fellow scientist. His name is Charlie Holloway. In the movie he becomes infected with an alien organism. The infection is deliberately caused by a robotic character called David. David appears human, and acts human. He may be described as an android. David does not like Shaw’s boyfriend, Charlie Holloway. Having found some alien biological material on the planet, he secretly places a drop of the viscous, living liquid into Charlie’s drink and hands it to him.



David Hands Charlie the Contaminated Drink

Consequently, Charlie develops a rapidly developing illness that causes his body to break down, manifesting symptoms similar to Ebola. Hypocritically, David wishes Charlie “Good health” as he swallows the drink.



Charlie Holloway Manifesting Ebola Like Symptoms

One of the more selfish characters in the movie, a woman who is the corporate leader of the mission, ends up setting Charlie aflame to keep him from entering the ship and contaminating the crew. Elizabeth Shaw is hysterical upon witnessing this and has to be sedated. When she comes to in the medical ward we see the robotic David reaching out to remove the cross necklace she is wearing around her neck. He says he must do so for “it may be contaminated.” There is certainly a hidden meaning in this remark. David then has the following dialogue with Elizabeth Shaw.

David: It must feel like your God abandoned you.

Elizabeth Shaw: What?

David: To lose Dr. Holloway after your father died under such similar circumstances. What was it that killed him? Ebola?

Elizabeth Shaw: How do you...? How do you know that?

David: I watched your dreams.

The crew of Prometheus discover that there are thousands of cylinders containing the biological material that killed Charlie and some other members of the crew. The captain very quickly discerns that the planet they are on is not the home of the Engineers (a name Elizabeth and Charlie have given to the race of beings that they were seeking). It is a military outpost where the Engineers stored weapons of mass destruction.



Cylinders of Infectious Biological Material

Captain Janek: You know what this place is? Those Engineers, this ain't their home. It's an installation. Maybe even military. They put it out here in the middle of nowhere because they're not stupid enough to make weapons of mass destruction on their own doorstep. That's what all that (expletive deleted) is in those vases. They made it here. It got out, turned on them. The end. It's time for us to go home.

The biological material is a source of death, and the Engineers who were storing it were intending to return to earth and destroy the human race that they had created long ago. Before they could do so, however, the Engineers were themselves killed by the biological material they were storing. Only one Engineer survived, and he was in an artificially induced state of sleep. No reason is given by the Engineers explaining why they had determined to destroy humanity. Elizabeth Shaw asks David why humanity’s creators wanted to destroy them. David responds, “Sometimes to create, one must first destroy.”

This thought expressed by David is aligned with Satan and his human subjects who aspire to create a New World Order where Lucifer is worshiped as the bringer of all light and technology and the gifts of civilization. Their plan is to wipe out the majority of humanity so that they can establish a new world ruled by a cabal of Satan worshipers who have been granted authority and riches and every fleshly desire by their fallen master. On the Georgia Guidestones, the stone monolith of the global elite that is inscribed with the ten precepts of the Illuminati, the first of the tenets listed is “Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.” In order to accomplish this goal, more than six billion people must be removed from the earth. Of those who remain, reproduction will be controlled by the global masters. The second of the Illuminati laws is, “Guide reproduction wisely - improving fitness and diversity.” It is a demonstration of incredible arrogance for a cabal of men and women to believe that they alone have the wisdom and authority to determine issues of life and death on the planet.

There is a scene in the movie showing the cargo hold of the Engineer’s space ship. It is filled with thousands of containers of the biological material that causes Ebola like symptoms. Captain Janek identified this material as a “weapon of mass destruction.” They discover that it was intended to be released on earth to destroy mankind so that something new could be created out of the destruction of the former world and its inhabitants.

I do not believe it to be coincidental that at a time when I was praying for the counsel of Yahweh to understand the reason for the media attention on the Ebola virus, I would be impressed to watch this movie. The book of Revelation reveals that plagues and pestilence will wipe out a significant portion of mankind in a short span of time at the end of this age.

Revelation 6:8
So I looked, and behold, an ashy pale horse..., and its rider's name was Death, and Hades (the realm of the dead) followed him closely. And they were given authority and power over a fourth part of the earth to kill with the sword and with famine and with plague (pestilence, disease) and with wild beasts of the earth.
[Amplified Bible]

It has been reported by numerous individuals that an immense underground base has been built under property belonging to the Denver International Airport. It is a place where the global elite can retreat to for a period of time as life above ground is extinguished through wars, famine, and plagues. What is coming is depicted in the murals on the walls of the Denver Airport.




This mural depicts a soldier whose sword is killing the dove of peace. He is wearing a gas mask, indicating that chemical and biological warfare agents will be used. In the drawing are images of dead children and weeping adults. In other images there are depictions of both people and animals appearing sick and some are dead. Behind, the world is going up in flames.




This entire facility is an Illuminati project. There is no other reason for such morbid symbolism to be put on display in an international airport where hundreds of thousands of people pass through every year.

Outside the facility at the entrance is another Illuminati symbol. It is Blucifer, the devil horse. Some refer to it as DIAblo (DIA being the initials of the airport). The artist who created the horse was killed when a section of the horse came loose from its anchors in his studio and crushed him. This is a horse of death, and it is located at the entrance to a facility that testifies of the death to come to humanity.




Blucifer

Why is Ebola everywhere in the media at this time? I believe one of the reasons is that this disease by itself would not normally spread globally and prove to be a threat to the masses of people. James Corbett addressed this subject in his broadcast. In order for Ebola to affect great numbers of the population it would have to be disseminated intentionally. Who would do such a thing? The U.S. government has proven that they have no scruples when it comes to infecting people intentionally with deadly diseases and toxic substances. How would they do such a thing? Perhaps they will do so in the same way that David spread the infection to Charlie Holloway in the movie Prometheus. David added it to Charlie’s drink. Could an infectious agent with a high mortality rate be spread through municipal water systems? Could the population be rendered sterile through vaccinations that were mandated for all to take as the fear of a worldwide pandemic was hyped to justify the deliberate chemical sterilization and infertility of the masses?

It seems that every year the government and media hype another possible pandemic. There was SARS. There was the swine flu. There was bird flu. Now Ebola is in the spotlight. There are stories of Anthrax, and other biological agents being carelessly left where they could fall into the hands of evil people. The truth is, these biological agents are already in the hands of wicked men who are skilled in destruction.

The alternative media has revealed that the reports of flu infection rates, and deaths from influenza, have been greatly exaggerated by the CDC, and other reporting agencies. They often lump pneumonia, and numerous other respiratory sicknesses under whatever flu version is in the media spotlight at the time. There are no actual tests done to identify what strain of flu, if any, killed a person. Oftentimes the elderly will succumb to pneumonia, or some other respiratory illness, and their deaths will be attributed to flu to inflate the numbers and justify the need to immunize the population.

At the same time we are reading that governments are taking the unprecedented and highly unusual steps of flying Ebola infected citizens back to their home countries. Recent reports have mentioned U.S. citizens infected with Ebola being flown to Atlanta to receive treatment there. Added to this are two new reports of illegal aliens being tested for possible Ebola symptoms at two different cities in California. With all the news of sick illegal aliens flooding the border, the perception is built in people’s minds that these dread diseases could infiltrate society by natural means. When the government intentionally infects the population through whatever means they choose, they will already have a back story to turn attention away from themselves as the source of the pandemic.

Added to these reflections on the subject of Ebola, I have had two unusual encounters with sick and emaciated wild animals recently. A couple weeks ago I was inside my bus reading when I heard Champ whining outside. It was a sound he at times makes when there is another dog nearby that he wants to get near to in order to check it out. I wondered what could be outside so I went out to look.

I followed Champ’s leash and saw that he was under the rear of my bus. I crouched down and looked and saw another animal under there. At first I could not recognize what I was seeing. I was reminded of images I had seen online of a mythical creature called a Chupacabra.

http://www.news10.net/story/news/features/2014/04/03/texas-woman-claims-to-have-found-the-chupacabra/7240929/

The creature I saw looked almost identical to the one in the images and video at the above page link. The only difference is that the creature I saw was so skinny you could see every bone in its body. It was so emaciated I did not know how it was still standing. It was clearly sick and famished. The animal was growling and hissing at Champ, and they were nearly nose to nose, so I pulled Champ back away from it lest it was rabid, and I put Champ in his kennel. After a couple minutes of watching the creature, it ran off into the woods and I have not seen it since. My guess is that it was a juvenile coyote that had mange as it was completely hairless. It also must have been very sick as it was little more than skin and bones.

Yesterday I took Champ on a run down the country roads here. I had him harnessed to my recumbent trike. We were on our way home and had gone about 4 miles when I saw a deer in the road a couple hundred yards ahead of us. I pointed it out to Champ and he began straining at the harness to get down the road toward the deer as quick as possible. As we approached I was surprised to find that the deer did not attempt to run off. It was facing us, but stood in the middle of the road. When I got to within 20 feet of it I stopped. Champ was still straining at the harness, but he was pretty quiet, examining the deer with earnest.

At this close distance I could see that the deer was a young buck. He appeared to be about an 8 point, still having velvet on his antlers. He too had signs of being famished. He was unusually skinny. I could see the outline of all of his ribs. I remained in my spot for several minutes to see if the deer would run off, but he made no signs of moving. He must have surely seen Champ, for Champ was becoming increasingly eager to approach the deer, letting out the occasional yelp. Nevertheless, the deer stood as if dazed. I finally decided I would have to pass right by him whether he moved or not, so I began moving forward with the deer on my left and Champ tethered to the right side of my trike. When I got to within 6 feet of the deer, he finally turned and headed out across a field.

This was a very unusual experience, and I know the Father has a message in it. I have been pondering what it may be. One possibility is that there is a time of famine and sickness coming where both animals and people will wander around dazed. Some will come to the people of God needing help. Let us pray that we might be ready for that hour. The signs are indicating that dark days are ahead for the nations.

May you be blessed with peace and understanding in these days.
