Perhaps because most literate Jews could no longer read Hebrew, Jewish scribes in Alexandria were put to work translating into Greek the Five Books of Moses. The finished product became known as the Septuagint. Demonstrating their conviction that the Septuagint was the final word on Jewish history, the high priests in charge of the work proclaimed a curse upon any changes that might be made to it. Judaic doctrine would hold that seventy-two translators had worked independently of each other on the translation and had produced exactly the same result, word for word — a miracle in keeping with the belief that the books were the works of divine intervention.

The Suns of God – The Biggest Secret
The Suns of God
Nothing has served the reptilian Agenda more than religion. Still today in America religion controls the minds and limits the thinking of the Christian patriot movement which has seen through many other smokescreens and identified many aspects of the Brotherhood conspiracy. What they cannot face, however, is that their own religion is a massive part of that conspiracy.
That is not to condemn all people who call themselves Christian.
There are many who express a loving spirituality through their Christian beliefs. I am talking of the institution of Christianity and its arrogant indoctrination and imposition of its desperately limited vision of life which has created a mind-prison for literally billions of people over almost 2,000 years. All the world's major religions, Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism and Islam, came out of the very same region of the Middle and Near East from which the Aryan race and the reptile crossbreeds emerged after the cataclysm of perhaps 7,000 years ago.
These religions were designed to imprison the mind and engulf the emotions with fear and guilt. They were usually based on some 'saviour-god' figure like Jesus or Mohammed and only by believing in them and following their dictates can we find 'God' and be saved. That is precisely what the Babylonian priests said about Nimrod when the blueprint for control-by-religion was being moulded in Babylon. Those who refuse to believe this hogwash are condemned to stoke the fires of hell for all eternity.
Staggeringly, billions upon billions have fallen for this scam over thousands of years, and still do. That's fine if they want to give their minds and their lives away, but many insist that everyone else must do the same and that's not fine. Seriously not fine. Most of the people reading this book will be from the parts of the world dominated by Christianity and Judaism and so I shall take those as the main examples of how symbolic stories have become literal truths and how the manipulation of these stories has produced the most powerful form of mass mind control yet invented.
To understand the true background to the religions, we need to appreciate the basis of all ancient religion going back to the Phoenicians, the Babylonians and beyond. It was the Sun. The hierarchy focused on the Sun because, as I outlined earlier, they understood its true power as an amazing generator of electromagnetic energy which is affecting our lives and behaviour every second of every day. The Sun contains 99% of the mass of this solar system. Just think about that.
The Sun is the solar system and when it changes, we change. Understanding these Sun cycles, and the changing nature of the energy it projects, allows you to anticipate how human beings are most likely to react to various events at different times. As with the texts that form the basis of the various religions, there are two levels of knowledge in Sun worship.
Figure 13:
The ancient symbol for the annual cycle of the Sun from which so many symbols and
symbolic stories have originated. You can see this symbol in the depictions of
Barati and Britannia in Figure 12.
In the ancient world, the hierarchy focused on the Sun because they knew its effect at a deep level, while the masses worshipped the Sun because its heat and light had an obvious and crucial role in ensuring an abundant harvest. In the same way, an initiate of the esoteric knowledge will read the Bible differently to a Christian or Jewish believer. The initiate will recognize the symbolism, the numerology and the esoteric codes, while the believer takes the text literally So the same text acts as a means of passing on esoteric knowledge to the initiated and creates a prison-religion for the masses who are not initiated. Great scam.
To understand the ancient Sun symbolism is to understand the major religions. In the ancient world they used one particular symbol (see Figure 13) for the Sun's journey through the year. As we will see in a later chapter, this is still a fundamental symbol used by the Babylonian Brotherhood. It symbolized both the Phoenician depictions of Barati and was on the shield of her British expression, Britannia. The ancients took the circle of the zodiac (a Greek word meaning animal circle) and inserted a cross to mark the four seasons.
At the centre of the cross, they placed the Sun. So many of the pre-Christian deities were said to have been born on December 25th because of this symbolism. On December 2lst-22nd, you have the winter solstice when, in the northern hemisphere, the Sun is at the lowest point of its power in the annual cycle. The Sun, the ancients said, had symbolically 'died'. By December 25th, the Sun had demonstrably begun its symbolic journey back to the summer and the peak of its power.
The ancients, therefore, said that the Sun was 'born' on December 25th. The Christian Christmas is merely a renamed Pagan festival, as indeed are all Christian festivals. Easter is another. About March 25th, the old fixed date for Easter, the Sun enters the astrological sign of Aries the ram or the lamb. At this time the ancients used to sacrifice lambs because they believed this would appease the gods, most notably the Sun god, and ensure abundant harvests. In other words they believed that the blood of the lamb would mean that their sins would be forgiven.
In ancient Babylon, Tammuz, the son of Queen Semiramis, was said to have been crucified with a lamb at his feet and placed in a cave. When a rock was rolled away from the cave's entrance three days later, his body had disappeared. I've definitely heard that somewhere before. The ancients also symbolized the Sun as a baby in December, a youth at Easter, a strapping, immensely strong, man in the summer, an ageing man losing his power in the autumn, and an old man by the winter solstice.
The modern depiction of Old Father Time is a version of this. They also symbolized the Sun as having long golden hair (sun rays) which got shorter as he lost his power in the months of autumn. Now look again at the Old Testament story of Samson – Sam-sun. He was incredibly strong and had long hair, but he lost his power when his hair was cut. The problems started when he entered the House of Delilah – the astrological house of Virgo, the virgin, through which the Sun passes as autumn approaches.
Summoning his last burst of power, Sam-the-Sun, pushes down the two pillars, which are classic Brotherhood symbolism going back at least to ancient Egypt and are still used by the Freemasons today. Samson is Sam Sun – a symbolic story of the Sun's annual cycle. There wasn't any such person. In Hebrew, Samson means I understand, the God of the Sun.
To the orthodox Christian, Jesus is the only begotten Son of God who died so our sins could be forgiven. But you will find exactly the same claims for a stream of 'gods' in the ancient world long before the name of 'Jesus' was even heard of. Indeed, we know his name wasn't Jesus because that's a Greek translation of a Hebrew name. The term Son of God would seem to originate at least as far back as the Aryan Gothic kings of Cilicia who took the title 'Son of the Sun God', a tradition adopted by the Pharaohs of Egypt.1
To many in the New Age, Jesus is Sananda, a high initiate of some spiritual hierarchy who incarnated to infuse the Earth with the 'Christ' energy. Or, depending on who you talk to, he was an extraterrestrial on a similar mission. To others he was claiming to be the King of the 'Jews' by right of his King David bloodline. But did Jesus actually exist? Did Moses, Solomon and King David exist? I would say categorically no. There is no credible evidence for the existence of any of them outside the biblical texts and they are certainly not credible. So where did they come from?
The Old Testament
In 721 BC, it appears that Israel was overrun by the Assyrians and the Israelites or Canaanites were taken into captivity. However, the tribes known by official history as Judah and Benjamin, survived for more than a hundred years after that, before they were conquered and captured by our friends, the Babylonians, in around 586 BC. It was in Babylon, that ancient capital city of the reptile-Aryan priesthood and hierarchy, that the Hebrew priests, the Levites, began to create a manufactured history which obscured the truth of what really happened. I mean, ask yourself, is a Brotherhood who arranged for the destruction of ancient knowledge and libraries all over the world going to write down the true history in their texts or are they going to produce the version they want the people to believe?
During and after their stay in Babylon, with its wealth of inherited knowledge and stories from Sumer, the Levites mixed truth, often symbolic truth, with fantasies and this concoction became the foundations of the Old Testament. The so-called Israelites did not write these texts or agree with what they said. Even if you accept they even existed, the Israelites had long dispersed by the time the Levites inked their pens. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers, which together make up the 'Jewish' Torah, were all written by the Levites or under their supervision during or after their period in Babylon.
This bunch of human sacrificing, blood drinking fanatics and black magicians, who you would not trust to tell you the time, compiled the law which Jewish people to this day are supposed to follow. Likewise many Christian fanatics quote this stuff as the word of God! It is not the word of God, it is the word of the Levites under the direction of the reptile full-bloods and crossbreeds of the Babylonian Brotherhood. The Sumerian Tablets prove beyond question that Genesis was a much edited and condensed version of Sumer records.
The Sumerian story of Edin became the Levite's biblical Garden of Eden. Remember the story of 'Moses' being found in the bulrushes by the Egyptian princess? The same tale was told by the Sumerians-Babylonians about King Sargon the Elder. The story of Moses is make-believe, as is the Egyptian 'captivity', the Exodus, at least in the form described, and also the creation of the 12 tribes via Jacob.
These texts were written by the Levites, the heads of which were reptilian mystery school initiates in Babylon. Their stories are symbolic and coded for initiates to understand and the masses to take literally. According to the Levites, Moses was given his laws and commandments by God on top of a mountain. Again and again we see the symbol of mountains. One reason for this is that the top of a mountain is closer to their symbol of God – the Sun. Mount Sion means Sun Mountain.
The Sun rising over the eastern mountains is still a major Brotherhood symbol today. The story of the Israelites and Jews is largely a fantasy – the veil behind which the truth has been hidden. No-one has been 'had' more comprehensively over these thousands of years than the people who have considered themselves Jewish. They have been terrorized, used and manipulated in the most merciless and grotesque fashion by their hierarchy to advance an Agenda which the Jewish people in general have not even begun to identify.
There is no greater example of this manipulation than the way the reptilian bloodlines like the 'Jewish' Rothschilds funded and supported the Nazis and allowed the rank and file Jewish people to reap the unspeakable consequences. The Levite story of Exodus is a smokescreen to hide the fact that the 'Hebrew' knowledge was stolen from the Egyptian mystery schools after they were infiltrated by the Babylonian Brotherhood. The Egyptians considered the 'Jehovah' revelation to be a robbery committed against the sacred sciences.2
Manly P. Hall, the Freemasonic historian and initiate, said that black magic dictated the state religion in Egypt and that the intellectual and spiritual activities of the people were paralyzed by complete obedience to the dogma formulated by the priestcraft. What a perfect description of the Levite-Babylonian mode of manipulation and of all the religions, like Christianity, which were to emerge from the lies they peddled. And that's a crucial point to remember. Judaism, Christianity and Islam all base their beliefs on these same stories written by the Levites after their stay in Babylon. We are looking at a point in history which was to define and control the world from then until now.
The knowledge the Levites stole from Egypt and expanded as a result of their stay in Babylon, became known as the Cabala (Kabala, Qaballa), which comes from the Hebrew root, QBL, meaning mouth to ear. This is the method used to communicate the most secret information to initiates. The Cabala is the esoteric stream of what is called Judaism, which in fact is a front for the Babylonian Brotherhood, as is the Vatican. The Cabala is the secret knowledge hidden in codes within the Old Testament and other texts. Judaism is the literal interpretation of it. This is a technique you can see in all the religions.
An example of the Levite coding is the names of the five scribes, Garia, Dabria, Tzelemia, Echanu and Azrel, in the second book of Esdras or Ezra. The names and their true meanings are:
- Garia: Marks which ancient scribes used to indicate that the text is either defective or has another meaning.
- Dabria: Words comprising a phrase or text.
- Tzelemia: Figures, something figured, or indicated in an obscure manner.
- Echanu: Something which has been changed or doubled.
- Azrel: The name of Esdras/Ezra, the suffix 'el' meaning the work of Ezra.3
These five names for 'scribes' therefore read as one phrase to an initiate:
"Marks of warning – of the words – figured in an obscure manner – which have been changed or doubled – which is the work of Ezra."4
There is a book called The Bible Code 5 which claims to have identified a code in the Hebrew version of the Old Testament which predicts the future. As one of these codes predicted that Lee Harvey Oswald would kill President Kennedy, you'll excuse me if I remain extremely unconvinced about its credibility.
Is there anyone left who still believes that Oswald killed Kennedy? But while I question claims in The Bible Code, there is a code in the Bible, an esoteric code for initiates. They either made up characters to fit their symbolism or vaguely based them on living people who they usually massively misrepresented. Here are some examples of codes in the Bible. A common theme in all mystery school traditions is of 12 disciples, knights or followers surrounding a deity.
The number 12 is a code, among other things, for the 12 months of the year and the houses of the zodiac through which symbolically travels the Sun, the 'god', symbolized as 13. This is the 'sacred 12 and one' as some people describe it and it is one major reason why the numbers 12 and 13 keep recurring. Thus you have the 12 tribes of Israel, 12 princes of Ishmael, 12 disciples or followers of Jesus, Buddha, Osiris and Quetzalcoatl.
There is also King Arthur and his 12 Knights of the Round Table (the zodiac circle), Himmler and his 12 knights in the Nazi SS, and the woman (Isis, Semiramis) with a crown of 12 stars in the Book of Revelation. In Scandinavia and that whole northern region you find the Odin mysteries, again inspired by the same Aryan race from the Near East. In this tradition, you find twelve 'Drottars' presiding over the mysteries with Odin. The sacred 12 and one again. These stories are not literally true, they are mystery school symbolism.
This continues today with these same symbols used by the Brotherhood secret society network in national flags, coats of arms, advertising and company logos. That Brotherhood creation, the European Union, has a circle of 12 stars as its symbol. We are talking sacred numbers and geometry here. The proportions of Egyptian statues, whether big or small, were multiples or sub multiples of 12 or 6.
The numbers 7 and 40 are also code numbers in the Bible and the mysteries. So in the Bible we have seven spirits of God, the seven churches of Asia, seven golden candlesticks, seven stars, seven lamps of fire, seven seals, seven trumpets, seven angels, seven thunders and the red dragon in Revelation with seven heads and seven crowns. The story of Jericho has Joshua marching his army around the city for seven days, accompanied by seven priests carrying seven trumpets. On the seventh day they circled Jericho seven times and the walls came tumbling down. In the story of Noah, seven pairs of each animal go into the ark and seven pairs of each type of bird.
There are seven days between the prediction of the deluge and the rain and seven days between the sending of the doves. The ark comes to rest on the 17th day of the seventh month, Noah leaves the ark on the 27th day, and after the flood he begins his seventh century. Many of the names for the symbolic deities, such as Abraxas of the Gnostics and Serapis of Greece have seven letters. Then there is 40.
Adam enters Paradise when he is 40 years old; Eve follows 40 years later; during the Great Flood it rains for 40 days and 40 nights; Seth is carried away by angels when he is 40 and is not seen for 40 days; Moses is 40 when he goes to Midian and he stays for 40 years; Joseph is 40 years old when Jacob arrives in Egypt; Jesus goes into the wilderness for 40 days. The Bible is the word of God? No. It is written in the esoteric code of the mystery schools. The Arabian literature was also compiled by and for initiates of the mysteries and here you find the same codes. The Arbaindt (the forties) are stories which all relate to the number 40 and their calendar has 40 rainy and 40 windy days.
Their laws constantly refer to 40. Another series of Arabian books, the Sebaydt or 'seven' are based on that number. These number codes have even deeper meanings than the more obvious ones of days, months and the zodiac. Numbers also represent vibrational frequencies. Every frequency resonates to a certain number, colour and sound. Some frequencies, represented by numbers, colours and sounds, are particularly powerful. Symbols also represent frequencies and they affect the subconscious without the person realizing it is happening. This is another reason why certain symbols are seen in secret societies, national flags, company logos, advertising and so on.
There is no historical evidence for the existence of a man called Moses except in the texts produced by the Levites and other writings and opinions stimulated by those texts.
Some say this was a cover name for the Egyptian pharaoh, Arkenaten, and I would certainly not dismiss that, but the official background to 'Moses' and his name have no historical basis. Nothing was known about the 'Moses' story, or the 'plagues' inflicted upon the Egyptians, until the Levites of Babylon wrote Exodus centuries after it was supposed to have happened. All the animals of Egypt were killed three times according to the story! What did they do, die and immediately remanifest?
There was no murder of the first born of Egypt and so the Feast of the Passover has no historical basis, it was created as a result of a story invented by the Levites. Their references to the lamb's blood on the doors is code for the ancient symbolism of the lamb. There is no official book in Hebrew which makes any mention of the Pentateuch (the laws of Moses) before the Levites went to Babylon. As for the Israelites being captive in Egypt, even Deuteronomy describes them as 'strangers', not slaves, in this period.6 So where did the name Moses come from?
Every initiated person who attained the highest rank in the Egyptian mystery schools was called a Muse, Mose or… Moses.7 Manetho, the Egyptian historian of the third century BC, quoted by the Jewish historian, Josephus, says that he was a priest at Heliopolis or ON (Place of the Sun), and that afterwards he took the name of Mosheh or Moses.8 The word Moses means: he who has been taken away, he who has been put out from the waters, who has been made a missionary, an ambassador, an apostle.9
The Chief Priest in the Egyptian temples was called EOVE or EOVA, hence the emergence of the name Jehovah,10 and the Hebrew language is really the sacred language of the Egyptian mystery schools.11 The general language of Egypt was called CBT, QBT or CBT, and is better known as Copt or Coptic. The sacred language of the mystery schools took its name from OBR or ABR which, in these times, meant the passage from one place to another and a transition of some kind.
Exactly the point of the original mystery school teachings, a transition to greater enlightenment. ABR became Ambres, the name of the holy doctrine reserved for initiates, and it was also written as Ambric, Hebric, Hebraic and… Hebrew.12 The Hebrew alphabet has 22 letters, but the original, before the time of 'Moses', only contained ten, and its true meaning was known only to the priests.
Hebrews were not Israelites or Jews, they were initiates of the Egyptian mystery schools, or at least their founders were. No wonder it has proved impossible to identify a genetic Hebrew or Jewish 'race'. Cohen, the Jewish name for priest, comes from Cahen, the Egyptian pronunciation for a priest and a prince.13 Even circumcision, that uniquely 'Jewish' tradition, came from the Egyptian mystery schools and was performed at least as far back as 4,000 BC. You could not be initiated unless you were circumcised. The Hebrew religion did not exist in Egypt and there was no Hebrew law because there was no Hebrew 'race'. The only worship was Egyptian worship.
The Hebrew religion, language and race only emerged when initiates of the Egyptian mysteries, later to be known as Levites, took the knowledge out of Egypt and invented a whole history to cover what they were doing, who they were working for and where they came from. The terms 'Hebrew' and 'Judaism' are another way of saying Egyptian. This is one reason why we have the constant use of symbols by today's Brotherhood which relate to Egypt, including the pyramid with the capstone missing. This is symbolic of the Great Pyramid at Giza and the Egyptian mystery schools, together with much deeper meanings. At the entrance to the mystery school temple in Egypt were two massive obelisks. These are often represented as two pillars by the Freemasons and in buildings designed and funded by initiates.
Hence the two pillars that Samson pushed over. Every initiate in the mystery schools was given a secret name and this also continues with the Brotherhood today. One connection to the Hebrews in Egypt could be the invasion of the Hyksos or Shepherd Kings. The Egyptian historian, Manetho, reported that a strange and barbaric race invaded and took control of Egypt. When they were eventually driven out, he said, they journeyed through Syria and built a city called Jerusalem.14 The Hyksos could well be a group of similar description called the Habiru who came out of the former lands of Sumer, as did, according to the Old Testament, the one called Abraham.
King Solomon and his temple are more symbolism. There is, again, no independent evidence for a person called King Solomon. Not once has his name appeared in any inscriptions. Before the Levites wrote their texts, the Greek historian Herodotus (c. 485425 BC), travelled and researched the lands and history of Egypt and the Near East. He heard nothing of the empire of Solomon, the mass exodus of Israelites from Egypt, or the destruction of the pursuing Egyptian army in the Red Sea. Nor did Plato in his travels to the same area. Why? Because it is all invention. The three syllables in Sol-om-on are all names for the Sun in three languages.
Manly P Hall wrote that Solomon and his wives and concubines were symbolic of the planets, moons, asteroids and other receptive bodies within his house – the solar mansion.15 Solomon's Temple is symbolic of the domain of the Sun. In Talmudic legend, Solomon is presented as a master magician who understood the Cabala and cast out demons. This is more symbolism of the secret knowledge held within the fabricated stories of Hebrew 'history'. The books of Kings and Chronicles, which recount the building of Solomon's Temple, were written between 500 and 600 years after the events they are supposed to be describing.
Hebrew chroniclers of the Temple of Solomon are so over the top, it's hilarious. It was supposed to occupy 153,600 workmen for seven years and its cost, worked out by Arthur Dynott Thomson, would have been £6,900 million. And Thomson was writing in 1872! What would it be today? Such figures are ludicrous and yet further examples of the make-believe behind these tales. They are symbolic, not literal. Another point. If Solomon didn't exist, why should we believe that his 'father', King David, did? I keep reading accounts of his life and the only sources quoted are the Old Testament texts written by the Levites! There is no other evidence. It's a con. So is the idea of the King David-Jesus bloodline being taken to France by 'Mary Magdalene' to become the Merovingians as suggested in many books over recent years.
As the scholar and researcher, L. A. Waddell, points out:
"There is absolutely no inscriptional evidence whatsoever, nor any ancient Greek or Roman reference, for the existence of Abraham or any of the Jewish patriarchs or prophets of the Old Testament, nor for Moses, Saul, David, Solomon, nor any of the Jewish kings, with the mere exception of two, or at most three, of the later kings."16
The consequences of all this for the people who have called themselves Jewish, and for humanity in general, have been quite appalling. The Mosaic Law, the law of 'Moses', is the law of the Levites – the law of the reptilian full-bloods and crossbreeds of the Babylonian Brotherhood. What it is not, is the law or word of God. The Torah and Talmud, both compiled overwhelmingly in and after their time in Babylon, are a mental bombardment of highly detailed laws governing every area of a person's life.
There's no way that was given by 'God' on the top of a mountain. The Levites wrote it and then invented Moses to hide this fact. Other 'laws' have been constantly added or revised since, to cover all eventualities. The pages of these Levite texts contain a constant and sickening theme of extreme racism against non-Judeans and the need to 'utterly destroy' anyone who defies them – exactly the way Manly Hall described the methods of the black magic priests. They encourage murder and mayhem of every conceivable kind.
The Talmud must be the most racist document on Earth. Here are just a few examples of the depth of its spiritual sickness:
"Just the Jews are humans, the non-Jews are no humans, but cattle"
Kerithuth 6b, page 78, iebhammoth 61
"The non-Jews have been created to serve the Jews as slaves"
Midrasch Talpioth 225
"Sexual intercourse with non-Jews is like sexual intercourse with animals"
Kethuboth 3b
"The non-Jews have to be avoided even more than sick pigs"
Orach Chalim 57, 6ª
"The birth rate of non-Jews has to be suppressed massively"
Zohar 11, 4b
"As you replace lost cows and donkeys, so you shall replace non-Jews"
Lore Dea 377,1
But this is not just a grotesque diatribe of racism. Look again. It is the very attitudes that the Draco reptilians and their underlings have towards humans. Remember this horrific stuff was not written by Judeans or 'Jews' as a people. They are victims of these beliefs, not the authors. It was written by the Levites, representatives of the priestly bloodlines of the reptilians and the Babylonian Brotherhood, who have no more allegiance to the Jewish people than did Adolph Hitler.
To blame it on 'the Jews' is a nonsense and exactly what the Brotherhood want people to do because it creates enormous opportunities to divide and rule, the very foundation of their control. What horrors this manipulation has caused for 'Jew' and 'Gentile' alike. It is the same with the Jewish oral law called the Mishnah, completed by the second century AD. Israel Shahak, a survivor of the Belsen Concentration Camp, is one of the comparatively few people now known as Jews, who has had the courage to openly challenge and expose the Talmud. Shahak, in his book Jewish History, Jewish Religion, highlights the stunning level of racism on which the 'Jewish' (Levite, Brotherhood) law is founded.
He tells how the extreme end of this 'faith', as represented by the orthodox rabbis today, makes it a religious offence to save the life of a Gentile, unless there would be unpleasant consequences for Jews not doing so. The charging of interest on loans to a fellow Jew is banned, but by Talmudic law they must charge a Gentile as much interest as they possibly can. It is demanded that Jews must utter a curse every time they pass a Gentile cemetery and that when they pass a Gentile building they must ask God to destroy it. Jews are forbidden to defraud each other, but that law does not apply to the defrauding of Gentiles.
Jewish prayers bless God for not making them Gentiles and others ask that Christians may perish immediately. A religious Jew must not drink from a bottle of wine if a Gentile has touched it since it was opened. The Jewish writer, Agnon, after being awarded the Nobel Prize for literature, said on Israeli radio:
"I am not forgetting that it is forbidden to praise Gentiles, but here there is a special reason for doing so – that is, they awarded the prize to a Jew."17
These are the laws of the belief system called 'Jewish' which is constantly complaining about, and condemning, racism against Jews!
The very belief system is founded on the most extreme racism you will ever encounter. Yet the cry of "anti-Semitic" is used to discredit researchers who are getting too close to the truth about the global conspiracy. Benjamin Freedman, a Jew who knew the top Zionists (Sionists, Sun cultists) of the 1930s and 40s, said that anti-Semitism should be eliminated from the English language. He went on:
"Anti-Semitism serves only one purpose today. It is used as a smear word. When so-called Jews feel that anyone opposes their real objectives, they discredit their victims by applying the word "anti-Semite" or "anti-Semitic" through all the channels they have at their command and under their control."18
One of these channels is an organization based in the United States, and operating worldwide, which was set up precisely to condemn as racists those exposing the Brotherhood. It is called the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and I have been a target for them myself, something I find very comforting and confirmation that I am going in the correct direction. It has great support from non-Jewish sycophants who wish to keep the ADL sweet and to feed their own desire to posture their sense of self-purity.
I'll take the sanctimonious, holier-than-thou, 'anti-racist' movements seriously, when they begin to protest against all racism and not just that which suits their political correctness. The smell of hypocrisy makes my nostrils ache. This Levite racism is not followed by the overwhelming majority of Jewish people and many have rebelled against the strict race laws that demand that Jews only interbreed with Jews.
Most people who call themselves Jewish are brought up from birth to be the frightened, indoctrinated puppets of this vicious Levite hierarchy which has metamorphosed as the Pharisees, the Talmudists and the extreme Zionists of today, controlled by the fanatical rabbis dispensing the 'law' of the Levites of Babylon on behalf of the reptilians. Most people who follow the religions spawned from these sources have no idea of their true origin or agenda. This is the privileged knowledge of a tiny Elite at the top of the secret society network who set up and manipulate the religions and their advocates.
They are not concerned for their followers, be they Jews, Roman Catholics, Muslims, whatever. Nothing emphasizes what a sham all these religions and races really are than the present day peoples we are told are 'Jewish'. As Jewish writers and anthropologists have said, there is no such thing as the Jewish race. Jewishness is a faith, not a race. The whole concept of a 'Jewish' people was manufactured as a cover story.
Alfred M. Lilenthal, the Jewish writer and researcher, said:
"There is no reputable anthropologist who will not agree that Jewish racialism is as much poppycock as Aryan racialism… Anthropological science divides mankind into three recognized races: Negro, Mongolian and Oriental, and Caucasian or white (although some authorities refer to a fourth race – the australoids)… Members of the Jewish faith are found in all three races and subdivisions."19
The point is, however, that within the Jewish faith and other cultures, is a race, a hidden race operating undercover, which carries the bloodlines of the reptilian full-bloods and crossbreeds. These bloodlines appear, on the surface, to be part of these faiths and cultures when, in fact, they are there to imprison and manipulate. So it is with the Levites. It gets even more farcical, and indicative of what a smokescreen world we live in, when you realize that most people who call themselves Jewish today have no genetic connection whatsoever to the land they call Israel. Yet it is this very connection that was used to justify the imposition of a 'Jewish' homeland on the Arab peoples of Palestine!
Again, as Jewish writers such as Arthur Koestler have exposed, all except a small minority of people who created and populated the State of Israel, originate genetically in southern Russia, not Israel. The hooked nose which is considered so 'Jewish' is a genetic trait of southern Russia and the Caucasus, not Israel. In 740 AD, a people called the Khazars had a mass conversion to Judaism.
Koestler writes:
"The Khazars came not from Jordan, but from the Volga, not from Canaan, but from the Caucasus. Genetically they are more related to the Hun, Uigar and the Magyar than the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The story of the Khazar Empire, as it slowly emerges from the past, begins to look like the most cruel hoax that history has ever perpetrated."20
There are two main sub divisions of those who call themselves Jewish, the Sephardim and the Ashkenazim. The Sephardim are the descendants of those who lived in Spain from antiquity until the 15th century when they were expelled. The Ashkenazim are the ancestors of the Khazars. In the 1960s, the Sephardim were estimated to number some half a million, but the Ashkenazim numbered about eleven million.
These eleven million have absolutely no historical connection with Israel whatsoever, but they are the ones who invaded Palestine and created the State of Israel with the justification that 'God' promised them that land in the Old Testament. Who wrote the Old Testament? Their priests, the Levites! And who wrote the New Testament which created Christianity? People controlled by the same force which controlled the Levites, the Babylonian Brotherhood.
The New Testament
OK, a little quiz. Who am I talking about?
He was born to a virgin by immaculate conception through the intervention of a holy spirit. This fulfilled an ancient prophecy. When he was born the ruling tyrant wanted to kill him. His parents had to flee to safety. All male children under the age of two were slain by the ruler as he sought to kill the child. Angels and shepherds were at his birth and he was given gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. He was worshipped as the saviour of men and led a moral and humble life. He performed miracles which included healing the sick, giving sight to the blind, casting out devils and raising the dead. He was put to death on the cross between two thieves. He descended to hell and rose from the dead to ascend back to heaven.21
Sounds exactly like Jesus doesn't it? But it's not. That is how they described the Eastern saviour god known as Virishna 1,200 years before Jesus is claimed to have been born. If you want a saviour god who died so our sins could be forgiven, take your pick from the ancient world because there are a stream of them, all originating with the Aryan and reptile-Aryan race that came out of the Near East and the Caucasus Mountains.
Here are just some of the 'Son of God' heroes who play the lead role in stories which mirror those attributed to Jesus and almost all were worshipped long before Jesus was even heard of:
- Khrishna of Hindostan
- Buddha Sakia of India
- Salivahana of Bermuda
- Osiris and Horus of Egypt
- Odin of Scandinavia
- Crite of Chaldea
- Zoroaster of Persia
- Baal and Taut of Phoenicia
- Indra of Tibet
- Bali of Afghanistan
- Jao of Nepal
- Wittoba of Bilingonese
- Tammuz of Syria and Babylon
- Attis of Phrygia
- Xamolxis of Thrace
- Zoar of the Bonzes
- Adad of Assyria
- Deva Tat and Sammonocadam of Siam
- Alcides of Thebes
- Mikado of the Sintoos
- Beddru of Japan
- Hesus or Eros, and Bremrillahm, of the Druids
- Thor, son of Odin, of the Gauls
- Cadmus of Greece
- Hil and Feta of Mandaites
- Gentaut and Quetzalcoatl of Mexico
- Universal Monarch of the Sibyls
- Ischy of Formosa
- Divine Teacher of Plato
- Holy One of Xaca
- Fohi and Tien of China
- Adonis, son of virgin lo, of Greece
- Ixion and Quirinus of Rome
- Prometheus of the Caucasus
- Mohammed or Mahomet, of Arabia 22
All but a few of those 'sons of God' or 'prophets', and the mind-prison religions founded in their names, come from the very lands occupied or influenced by peoples emerging from the Near East and the Caucasus. The lands of the Aryans and reptile-Aryans. Other 'sons of God' included Mithra or Mithras, the pre-Christian Roman-Persian god, and in Greece and Asia Minor they had Dionysus and Bacchus. These were sons of God who died so our sins could be forgiven, born of a virgin mother, and their birthdays were on… December 25th!
Mithra was crucified, but raised from the dead on March 25th – Easter! Mithran initiations took place in caves adorned with the signs of Capricorn and Cancer, symbolic of the winter and summer solstices, the high and low points of the Sun. Mithra was often portrayed as a winged lion, a symbol for the Sun still used by the secret societies today. References to the lion and the 'grip of the lion's paw' in the Master Mason Degree of Freemasonry originate with this same stream of mystery school symbolism.
Initiates into the rites of Mithra were called lions and were marked on their foreheads with the Egyptian cross. The first degree initiates had a golden crown placed on their heads, representing their spiritual self, and this crown, symbolising the rays of the sun, can be found on the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbour. All these rituals went back thousands of years to Babylon and the stories of Nimrod, Queen Semiramis, and Tammuz, their version of Jesus. Mithra was said to be the son (Sun) of god who died to save humanity and give them eternal life. One classic symbol of Mithra was as a lion with a snake curled around his body, while he holds the keys to heaven.
This is more Nimrod symbolism and the origin of the story of St Peter, one of Jesus' 12 disciples, holding the keys to heaven. Peter was the name of the High Priest in the Babylon mystery school. After an initiate of the Mithran cult had completed the ritual, the members had a meal of bread and wine in which they believed they were eating the flesh of Mithra and drinking his blood. Mithra, like a long list of pre-Christian gods, was said to have been visited by wise men at his birth who brought him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.
The same was said by Plato of his teacher, Socrates, in ancient Greece. Christianity is a Pagan sun religion, the worship of which is condemned by Christianity! It is also an astrology religion, the 'evil' of which is condemned by Christianity, not least by the Pope! Beam me up Scotty, it's mad down here. The church hierarchy, of course, know all this. They just don't want you to know. The mystery cult of Mithra spread from Persia to the Roman Empire and at one point this doctrine could be found in almost every part of Europe.
The present site of the Vatican in Rome was a sacred place for the followers of Mithra, and his image and symbols have been found cut into rocks and stone tablets throughout the western provinces of the former Roman domain, including Germany, France and Britain. Christianity and the Roman Church were based on the Persian-Roman Sun god called Mithra (Nimrod), who has an earlier equivalent in India called Mitra. Tammuz or Adonis (Lord), who was revered in Babylonia and Syria, was said to have been born at midnight on December 24th. These were also 'sons' of God.
Horus was the the 'son' of God in Egypt. He was derived from the Babylonian Tammuz and, in turn, provided another blueprint for the later Jesus.
The connections are devastating for the credibility of the Christian Church:
- Jesus was the Light of the World. Horus was the Light of the World.
- Jesus said he was the way, the truth and the life. Horus said he was the truth, the life.
- Jesus was born in Bethlehem, the 'house of bread'. Horus was born in Annu, the 'place of bread'.
- Jesus was the Good Shepherd. Horus was the Good Shepherd.
- Seven fishers board a boat with Jesus. Seven people board a boat with Horus.
- Jesus was the lamb. Horus was the lamb.
- Jesus is identified with a cross. Horus is identified with a cross.
- Jesus was baptised at 30. Horus was baptised at 30.
- Jesus was the child of a virgin, Mary. Horus was the child of a virgin, Isis.
- The birth of Jesus was marked by a star. The birth of Horus was marked by a star.
- Jesus was the child teacher in the temple. Horus was the child teacher in the temple.
- Jesus had 12 disciples. Horus had 12 followers.
- Jesus was the Morning Star. Horus was the Morning Star.
- Jesus was the Christ. Horus was the Krst.
- Jesus was tempted on a mountain by Satan. Horus was tempted on a mountain by Set.23
Jesus is said to be the 'judge of the dead'. He has some competition there.
- This was also said of the earlier Nimrod, Khrishna, Buddha, Ormuzd, Osiris, Aeacus and others.
- Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last. So was Khrishna, Buddha, Laokiun, Bacchus, Zeus and others.
- Jesus is claimed to have performed miracles such as healing the sick and raising people from the dead. So did Khrishna, Buddha, Zoroaster, Bochia, Horus, Osiris, Serapis, Marduk, Bacchus, Hermes and others.
- Jesus was born of royal blood. So was Buddha, Rama, Fo-hi, Horus, Hercules, Bacchus, Perseus and others.
- Jesus was born to a virgin. So was Khrishna, Buddha, Lao-kiun or tsze, Confusius, Horus, Ra, Zoroaster, Prometheus, Perseus, Apollo, Mercury, Baldur, Quetzalcoatl and far too many others to mention.
- Jesus will, we are told, be born again. The sky is going to be rather crowded because Khrishna, Vishnu, Buddha, Quetzalcoatl and others, will also be there.
- The 'star' at the birth of Jesus is another multideity story and goes back at least to the Babylonian tale of Nimrod who, in a dream, saw a brilliant star rising above the horizon. The soothsayers told him that this foretold the birth of a child who would become a great prince.24
It's all recycling. Jesus is a myth man.
The invented character of Jesus was a Sun god, symbolic of God's 'Sun'… The Light of the World. This very phrase, Light of the World, was used by the Aryan-Phoenicians to symbolize the 'one true god' thousands of years before the alleged birth of Abraham, the quite wrongly named creator of the one-god concept.25 They also symbolized the one true god, the Sun, with the 'one true cross' 26
The Christians portray Jesus with a halo around his head and that's exactly how the Phoenicians depicted the rays of the Sun around the head of their Sun god, Bel or Bil. This can be seen on a Phoenician stone dating to about the 4th century BC (see Figure 14).
The Sun was at the peak of its daily 'journey', they prayed to the 'Most High'. At this time, they said the Sun was going about his father's work in the temple. The virgin mothers associated with all of these Sun gods were different names for Queen Semiramis and Ninkharsag, also known as Isis, the Egyptian symbol of the female creative force without which nothing, not even the Sun, could exist. Over time, names for what had once symbolized extraterrestrial 'gods' became used to describe concepts and esoteric principles.
Figure 14:
A Phoenician standing stone depicting their Sun God, Bel or Bil, with the halo representing the rays of the Sun.
This is precisely the way 'Jesus' is portrayed because he, too, was a symbol of the Sun.
Figure 15:
Mary and Jesus? No, this is the way the Egyptians portrayed Isis and Horus.
If you lived in ancient Babylon this would have been Queen Semiramis and Tammuz.
Different eras and cultures gave different names to these same concepts and so in the Gospels, Horus became Jesus and Isis became Mary, the virgin mother of Jesus, the Sun. Mary is constantly pictured holding the baby Jesus, but this is merely a repeat of all the Egyptian portrayals of Isis holding the baby Horus (see Figure 15).
These people did not actually exist, they are symbolic. Isis became associated with the astrological sign of Virgo the virgin, as did Mary. The titles given to Isis of 'Star of the Sea' and 'Queen of Heaven' were also given to Mary and they both originate from Queen Semiramis, who was called the Queen of Heaven in Babylon. Christianity and Judaism are both the religion of Babylon.
Throughout the world you see the same Sun religions and rituals, in Sumer, Babylon, Assyria, Egypt, Britain, Greece, Europe in general, Mexico and Central America, Australia… everywhere. It was the universal religion inspired by the same, ultimately extraterrestrial, source thousands of years before Christianity. Sun and fire worship was the focus of religions in India where their festivals charted the Sun's cycle through the year,27 and in the Jesus story you see constant symbolic references to this and to astrology and mystery school symbolism.
The crown of thorns is the symbol of the rays of the Sun, just like the crown of spikes around the head of the Statue of Liberty. The cross is also Sun and astrological symbolism, as you saw earlier with the cross and the circle. Leonardo da Vinci, the Grand Master of the Priory of Sion (Sun), used this same symbolism in his famous painting of the Last Supper (see Figure 16).
Figure 16:
The Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci.
Look how he symbolizes Jesus as the Sun and breaks up the twelve disciples
into four sets of three – the signs of the zodiac.
It is a pictorial version of the sun circle and the cross we saw earlier.
He divides the 12 disciples into four groups of three with Jesus, the 'Sun', in the middle of them. Again this is astrological symbolism painted by a high initiate of the secret societies and mystery schools who knew the truth. It may well be that da Vinci has portrayed one of the disciples as a woman to symbolize the Isis, Barati, Semiramis, deity. This became symbolized as an 'M' for Mary or Madonna (Semiramis).
Jesus is said to have been born on December 25th, a date the Christians took from the Sun religions of Sol Invictus (the Sun Unconquered) for reasons I've explained. He is also said to have died at Easter on a cross. This is a repeat of the same ancient story again. The Egyptians represented Osiris stretched out on a cross in astrological symbolism. According to the ancients, it took three days for the Sun to recover from 'death' on December 2lst/22nd. In the Gospels how many days are there between Jesus 'dying' and 'rising' from the dead? Three! The same time it took the Babylon Son of God, Tammuz, to rise again. This is how Luke's Gospel describes what happened as Jesus (the Sun) died on the cross:
"And it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the Earth until the ninth hour. And the Sun was darkened…"
Luke 23-44,45
The son/Sun had died and so there was darkness. And look how many hours this lasted for: three. The same story of darkness at their death was told by the Hindus of Khrishna, the Buddhists of Buddha, the Greeks of Hercules, the Mexicans of Quetzalcoatl, ad infinitum, long before Jesus. When he died, Jesus 'descended into hell', just like the earlier Khrishna, Zoroaster, Osiris, Horus, Adonis/Tammuz, Bacchus, Hercules, Mercury and so on. He then rose from the dead like the earlier Khrishna, Buddha, Zoroaster, Adonis/Tammuz, Osiris, Mithra, Hercules and Baldur.
Jesus was symbolically crucified at Easter because this is the spring equinox when the Sun (Jesus) enters the astrological sign of Aries, the Ram or… the lamb. The lamb in the Book of Revelation is the same symbol. In around 2,200 BC the group known as the Priesthood of Melchizedek began making their aprons with lamb's wool, a symbol continued today by a modern expression of the Brotherhood, the Freemasons. It is at Easter, the equinox, that Jesus (the Sun) triumphs over darkness – the time of year when there is more light than darkness every day.
The world is restored by the power of the Sun in the time of rebirth and the spring equinox was one of the most sacred Egyptian events. Queen Isis was often portrayed with rams heads to symbolize that the time of Aries, the spring, was a period of nature's abundant creation. The Festival of Easter was as important to early Christians as December 25th. The legend of Mithra said he was crucified and was resurrected on March 25th. The date of Easter is no longer fixed to the first day of Aries, but the symbolism remains. The Christian religious day is… SUNday.
Christian churches are build east-west with the altar to the east. This means that the congregation face east – the direction of the rising Sun. Even Easter eggs, like hot cross buns, are not a Christian tradition. Dyed eggs were sacred Easter offerings in Egypt and Persia, among other places. How ironic that the authorities at Westminster Abbey have questioned whether they should have a Christmas tree because it is a Pagan symbol. The whole flippin' religion is pagan!
Along with the Sun symbolism, the Jesus story and its countless predecessors also include initiation symbolism from the mystery schools. The cross as a religious symbol can be found in every culture, from the Native Americans to the Chinese, India, Japan, Egypt, Sumer, the ancient peoples of Europe and central-south America.
The Buddhist Wheel of Life is made of two superimposed crosses and birds with their wings open are used to symbolize the cross in endless logos, coats of arms and badges. One of the most ancient forms of the cross is the Tau or Tav cross which resembles the letter T. This was the cross on which political dissidents were hung by the Romans, apparently. It was the symbol of the Druid god, Hu, and it is still used today by the Freemasons in their symbol of the T square. The Egyptian's Crux Ansata, the 'cross of life', added a circle loop to the top.
The Crux Ansata and the Tau cross were found on statues and other artwork throughout ancient Central America. It was associated with water and the Babylonians used the cross as an emblem of the water gods who they said had brought them their civilization. The Nagas, by the way, the human-reptile gods of the East, were also said to live in the water. The concept of a saviour god figure dying for humanity is an ancient one. The religions of India had a tradition of the crucified saviour centuries before Christianity and it originated from the Aryans in the Caucasus.
The Hindu 'Christ' figure, Khrishna, appears in some portrayals nailed to a cross in classic Jesus manner.28 Quetzalcoatl is said to have come out of the sea carrying a cross and he has been represented as being nailed to a cross.
In mystery school symbolism,
- a cross of gold = illumination
- a cross of silver = purification
- a cross of base metals = humiliation
- a cross of wood = aspiration
The latter relates to the constant symbolism of the tree and saviour god figures dying on trees or wooden crosses.
Some of the Pagan mystery ceremonies involved the student hanging from a cross or lying on an altar in the shape of a cross.29 It symbolized the death of the body, the world of physical domination and desire, and opening to the spiritual self. The driving in of nails and the flow of blood is yet more mystery school symbolism. The crucifixion of Jesus was an allegory, a symbolic event written to carry a hidden meaning. It did not physically happen, you are just meant to think it did. And what of the physical resurrection from the dead by Jesus?
St Paul is quoted as saying of this event in his first letter to the Corinthians:
"But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not."
Corinthians 15:13-16
He says that if Jesus was not physically raised from the dead, there is no basis to the Christian faith and religion. If that's the case, Christianity is in serious trouble.
First of all the Gospel accounts of the resurrection have numerous contradictions as each copied the original story differently, or changed it on purpose. And secondly the resurrection is yet more Sun symbolism from the ancient religions. In Persia, long before Christianity, they had a ritual in which a young man, apparently dead, was restored to life. He was called the Saviour and his sufferings were said to have ensured the salvation of the people. His priests watched his tomb until midnight on the equinox and they cried:
"Rejoice, O sacred initiated! Your God is risen. His death and sufferings have worked your salvation."
The same tale was told in Egypt about Horus and in India about Khrishna a thousand years before Christianity. The Bible tells us that Jesus will return on a cloud and what do we see among the clouds? The Sun. The tomb of Jesus is symbolic of the darkness into which the Sun descended before its rebirth and nearly all the mystery school initiations involved some sort of cave, underground chamber, or dark enclosed space, like the sweatlodges of native America.
Even the story of the spear which pierced the side of Jesus after he was taken from the cross is mystery school symbolism. The Christian legend says that this was done by a blind Roman centurion called Longinus and some of the blood of Jesus fell on his eyes and cured his blindness. Longinus was converted and spent the rest of his life breaking up Pagan idols. Yeah, sure he did. Centurions were not blind and could not have done their job if they were, and once again we find this story is a repeat from earlier versions.
The Scandinavian saviour, Balder, son of Odin, had a spear of mistletoe thrust into him by Hod, a god who was blind. March 15th, the Ides of March, was when many Pagan saviours also died. This day was devoted to Hod and later became a Christian feast day to the 'Blessed Longinus'!30 You've got to laugh, really.
The symbol of the fish is a theme throughout the Gospel stories and this is symbolic of Nimrod/Tammuz, the father-son, of Babylon. Another reason for Jesus as a fish could be the astrological sign of Pisces, the fishes. Around the time Jesus was supposed to have been born, the Earth was entering the astrological house of Pisces. A new age was being born and Jesus the fish could have been a symbol of the age of Pisces. We are now entering another new age, the age of Aquarius, according to the laws of the 'Earth wobble' precession. When the Bible talks of the end of the world, this is another mistranslation.
They translate 'world' from the Greek, 'aeon', but aeon does not mean world, it means 'age'.31 We are not facing the end of the world, but the end of the age, the 2,160 years of Pisces. Christianity did not replace the Pagan religions, it is a Pagan religion. The Persians, who inherited their beliefs from Sumer, Egypt and Babylon, had baptism, confirmation, paradise and hell, angels of light and darkness, and a fallen angel. All of these were absorbed by Christianity and claimed for their own.
During the alleged life time of Jesus, the Essene Brotherhood, was based at Qumran at the northern end of the Dead Sea, or at least that is what we are told.
Brian Desborough's research indicates that this site was a leper colony at the time and that the Essenes lived in a much more appropriate place further along the Dead Sea coast. The Dead Sea Scrolls, found in caves near Qumran in 1947, have offered a greater insight into their lifestyle and beliefs, despite suppression by the authorities who wish to maintain the official version of history. The scrolls were hidden from the Romans during the ill-fated Judean revolt around 70 AD. Some 500 Hebrew and Aramaic manuscripts were found, which included texts from the Old Testament, among them a complete draft of the Book of Isaiah, centuries older than the one in the Bible.
There were scores of documents relating to the Essene customs and organization. The scrolls confirm that the Essenes were fanatics who followed to the letter the Levite inventions in the Old Testament texts. Anyone who didn't do the same was their enemy and they fiercely opposed the Roman occupation. They were a Palestine branch of an even more extreme Egyptian sect called the Therapeutae ('healers', hence therapeutic 32) and they inherited the secret knowledge of Egypt and the ancient world. The Therapeutae and the Essenes also used the symbol of the 'messeh', the 'Draco' crocodile of Egypt, the fat of which anointed the Pharaohs under the authority of the Royal Court of the Dragon.
The Essenes had a detailed understanding of drugs, including the hallucinogenic variety, which were used in mystery school initiations and for entering other states of consciousness. The properties of the 'sacred mushrooms' or 'Holy Plant' were so much part of life in the secret brotherhood that the Jewish high priest wore a mushroom cap (see Figure 17) to acknowledge their importance. They had special rituals for their preparation and use. The mushroom, too, was given son of God' connotations (what wasn't?) and it was connected to the Sun cycle.
Figure 17:
The Jewish priest with the mushroom cap to symbolise the importance
of magic hallucinogenic mushrooms in their rituals.
The mushrooms were picked with great reverence before sunrise and many symbols of this ritual can be found in the Bible and far older texts. Again, the use of the sacred mushroom and other drugs, and the secret knowledge of their properties, can be traced back to the earliest days of Sumer.33 The Therapeutae had a flourishing university at Alexandria and from there they sent out missionaries to establish branches and affiliated communities across the Middle East. Here again we have the connection back to Egypt and the mystery schools.
The Essenes were advocates of Pythagoras, the Greek philosopher and esoteric mathematician, who was a high initiate of both the Greek and Egyptian mystery schools.34 According to the most famous historian of the period, Josephus, the Essenes were sworn to keep secret the names of the powers who ruled the universe. This was in line with the laws of the mystery schools.
The Essenes-Therapeutae practiced rituals very similar to the later Christian baptism and they marked the foreheads of initiates with a cross. This being the symbol indicated in the Old Testament Book of Ezekiel for enlightened (or illuminated) ones and also used for initiations into the mysteries of Mithra and other such Sun god figures. The Essenes viewed natural bodily functions, including sex, with disgust and in that sense they were an excellent forerunner of the Roman Church which was to absorb many of their beliefs, terms and practices.
Two of the Dead Sea Scrolls, one in Hebrew, the other in Aramaic, contain what we would call horoscopes, the belief that the movement of the planets affects a person's character and destiny. The Essenes practiced astrology, the symbolism of which you find throughout the Gospels and the Old Testament. The early Christians, an offshoot of the Essenes-Therapeutae, did the same, as did the Romans and all the Gentile nations surrounding Judea.35
The writer, Philo, who lived at the alleged time of Jesus, said in his Treatise on the Contemplative Life, that when the Therapeutae prayed to God, they turned to the Sun and they studied in order to discover the hidden (coded) meaning of sacred books. He wrote that they also meditated on the secrets of nature contained in the books under the veil of allegory.36 That is precisely the way the Bible is written. Today this secret language is used in the logos, coats of arms and flags, of companies, countries and other Brotherhood-controlled organizations.
Interconnected with the Essenes and a theme which links both the Old and New Testaments is the secret society called the Nazarites or Nazarenes. Old Testament characters such as Moses and Samson were said to be members of this group and so were Jesus, his brother James, John the Baptist and St Paul.
The Acts of the Apostles says of St Paul:
"For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all of the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes."37
None of these people really existed, but the Nazarene symbolism makes a secret society link through the Bible. The Essenes and the Nazarites-Nazarenes appear to be different offshoots of the same group. The Essenes wore white according to the Judean historian Josephus, but the Nazarenes wore black, the same as the priests of Isis in Egypt. Black is a colour of the Babylonian Brotherhood which has manipulated its way through history. In keeping with this, black has become the colour associated with authority (look at the legal profession) and with death. It is also the traditional colour of the teaching profession with the black gown and the black hat called the mortar board, which is the circle and square symbol of Freemasonry.
The greatest miracle of Jesus, it seems, was coming from Nazareth because Nazareth did not exist at the time. And Jesus said: "Let there be Nazareth. And there was Nazareth." Or rather, there wasn't. The name does not appear in any of the detailed Roman records, nor in any books, writings or documents of any kind relating to the period covered by the Gospels. Jesus the 'Nazarene' does not relate to Nazareth, but to the Nazarene secret society.
The Essenes-Therapeutae-Nazarenes were the bridge between the Old Testament, the New Testament and the creation of Christianity. The early 'Christians' were called Nazarenes before they were called Christians.38 The rituals of the Nazarene
Brotherhood can be clearly seen in the Christian Church today. The Nazarenes wore black and so do most Christian clerics. At Qumran they had a ritual bath to wash away their 'sins'. This became the Christian baptism. They had a meal of bread and wine which became the Christian Mass.
W. Wynn Westcott was a founder of the Satanic Order of the Golden Dawn in England which would later play a significant role in the emergence of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. He knew the inside story and he said in his work, The Magical Mason, that today's Freemasons go back to the Essenes among other ancient groups of similar background. Today the Arabic word for Christians is Nasrani and the Muslim Koran uses the term Nasara or Nazara. These originate with the Hebrew word, Nozrim, which derived from the term, Nozrei ha-Brit – the Keepers of the Covenant.
The term, Nozrei ha-Brit, can be traced as far back as the alleged time of Samuel and Samson in the Old Testament. Samuel was portrayed as the top man of the Levites and it was they who orchestrated this whole Bible-Talmud scam under the direction of the Babylonian Brotherhood. The Covenant is the Freemason's Great Work of Ages – the Agenda for the takeover of the planet by the reptilians.
The bloodlines, the 'chosen people' of the gods, and the secret knowledge, are symbolized as 'the vine' and 'vineyards' in the Bible and countless other writings and pictures. The Old Testament speaks of "The vine thou didst bring out of Egypt".39
We are also told that "The vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the House of Israel and the men of Judah his pleasant plant"40 The bloodline symbolized as the vine is not, I would strongly suggest, the bloodline of King David at all. He didn't exist for a start, which confirms the point rather conclusively.
The symbolism of the vine can once again be traced back to Babylon and Egypt. In the mystery schools of Greece, their Sun gods Dionysus and Bacchus, were the patron gods of the vineyard.41 What do grapes depend upon to grow? The Sun. The vine and the bloodline of 'Jesus' weaved in among that Sun symbolism is one of the royal and priestly bloodlines which lead back to the reptilians, the Anunnaki. The New Testament features the Wedding at Cana, but this was not a real wedding. It is again symbolic of the Sun and the Earth, the god and goddess.
In the land of Canaan every spring, they celebrated sexual and fertility rites under the title, 'The Marriage Festival of Canaan'.42 It was at the symbolic wedding at Cana in the Gospels that Jesus turns the water into wine. It is the Sun's warmth and the Earth's water which grow the grapes to make wine. Bacchus, the Greek son of Zeus and the virgin Semele, was said to have turned water into wine. Also there were Essene ritual terms related to water and wine.
The Essenes, Therapeutae and Gnostics were seriously into hidden meanings and the Jesus stories are a mass of interweaved allegories related to the Sun, astronomy, astrology, bloodlines, secret knowledge and the rituals and names used by the mystery schools. The New Testament is a mirror of the Old in that some fact, much fiction, and a mass of esoteric codes and symbols are fused, and often con-fused, into a narrative which is desperately misleading if taken literally.
This is summed up by the phrase: "Let he who has ears, let him hear". Let he who is initiated into the secret knowledge understand what I am really saying. Let he who is not initiated believe any old crap.
Here are a few more Bible myths to explode:
- The idea of the 'carpenter' is a translation error. The English translation of 'carpenter' comes from the Hebrew word naggar, via the Greek, ho tekton. These words do not mean literally a 'carpenter', but people who were masters of their craft and the word was applied to teachers and scholars as well as craftsmen.
- Jesus was definitely not born in a stable and not a single gospel claims this is so. The Christmas nativity is complete invention. The concept comes from Luke's Gospel43 which says that Jesus was laid in a manger, an animal feeding box, because there was no room in the inn. But the Greek version, from which the English translation came, says there was no 'topos' in the 'kataluma' – there was no place in the room.44 Matthew's Gospel specifically states that Jesus was in a house: "And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and fell down and worshipped him."45 Mangers were often used for babies when a proper cradle was not available, but they moved the manger to the baby, not the baby to the manger!
- The nativity scene apparently originates with St Francis of Assisi in Greccio, Italy, in 1223 AD.46 He brought together some local people and their livestock to illustrate the birth of Jesus and this nativity scene quickly caught on. Manger scenes carved from wood became popular all over Italy at Christmas and the rest is history. Giving gifts is not a Christian custom, either. This was done in the Pagan world at New Year long before Christianity. The Christians simply borrowed it, as they did everything else.
- The prophecies said that the 'messiah' (messeh, the crocodile of Egypt) would be called Emmanuel, but the name of the Gospel 'messiah' was Jesus, or at least its Judean equivalent. Oops! Funny how Christians seem to miss this point when they quote the prophecy about the coming of 'Emmanuel' every Christmas. Think of all those children who have been dressed up as Mary, Joseph, shepherds, wise men, donkeys, cows and sheep. This fantasy has been used to indoctrinate countless generations to believe that this is how it all happened, when, in truth, the nativity and the Christmas story are the acting out of translation errors, an invention of St Francis, and the mid-winter rituals of Pagan beliefs. I say, Jenny and Johnny, before you don those costumes this year, can I have a quiet word?
- The Christian Eucharist, when they eat bread and drink wine to symbolize the body and blood of Christ, originates with a cannibalistic ritual when they ate and drank the real thing in animal and human sacrifices. Most of the Christian terms come from the Greek, including Christ and Christianity. Among many others are Church (the Lord's House), Ecclesiastical (Ecclesia, the Greek Assembly or Parliament), Apostle (missionary), Presbyter/priest (elder), and baptism (immersion).
- Even according to the Gospel stories, Jesus was surrounded by terrorists. Simon Magus was known as Simon Zelotes (the Zealot) to acknowledge his role as a commander of the Zealots, the 'freedom fighters' who advocated a war against the Romans. Another description is Simon 'Kananites', a Greek word meaning fanatic.
- This was translated into English as Simon the Canaanite! Judas 'Iscariot' derives from the word Sicarius, which meant assassin. There was a terrorist group called the Sicani or Sons of the Dagger, and this name comes from the word, Sica, meaning curved dagger. Sicarius became the Greek, Sikariotes, and this was later mistranslated into English as Iscariot. The Zealots-Sicani would raid Roman supply caravans and ambush their soldiers very much along the lines of terrorist groups like the IRA in Northern Ireland.
- People were not crucified for theft which makes the story of the two thieves crucified with Jesus another invention. It is a 'steal' once again because the same story was told about some of the pre-Christian Jesus figures. The punishment for the 'crimes' Jesus was accused of in the Gospels would have been stoning to death by the Judean authorities, not the Romans.
- Pontius Pilatus, the Roman Procurator in this period, is supposed to have washed his hands and passed on responsibility for the death of 'Jesus' to the crowd. The washing of hands to indicate innocence was the custom of the Essene community.47 The Bible says that it was the Roman custom at the time of the Passover Festival to offer a prisoner for release, but this is simply not true. There was no such custom and the scene is invention.
You can write an entire book about the myths in the Bible and, in fact, someone has. It's called, appropriately, Bible Myths, and if you want detailed documentation of the information in this chapter I thoroughly recommend it. There is no credible evidence whatsoever for the existence of Jesus. No archaeological evidence, no written evidence, nothing. So it is with Solomon, Moses, David, Abraham, Samson and countless other biblical 'stars'.
All we have are the Levite texts and the Gospel stories in their various versions. So desperate did the religious manipulators become to cross reference 'Jesus' that they inserted a pathetically obvious addition into the works of the 'Jewish' historian, Josephus, to support the unsupportable. More than 40 writers are known to have chronicled the events of these lands during the alleged time of Jesus, but they don't mention him.48
A guy who did all the things that he was supposed to have done and no-one records it? Philo lived throughout the supposed life of Jesus and wrote a history of the Judeans which covered the whole of this period. He even lived in or near Jerusalem when Jesus was said to have been born and Herod was supposed to have killed the children, yet he doesn't record any of this. He was there when Jesus is said to have made his triumphant arrival in Jerusalem and when he was crucified and rose from the dead on the third day. What does Philo say about these fantastic events? Nothing.
Not a syllable. Not a titter.49 None of this is mentioned in any Roman record or in the contemporary accounts of the writers of Greece and Alexandria who were familiar with what happened there.50
Why? Because it didn't happen. It was a symbolic, coded story to pass on esoteric and astrological knowledge of many kinds and, most crucially, to create another prison-religion based on the symbols of the Babylonian Brotherhood. The human race has been had. Big time.

The Zoroastrian Priesthood Elevated by Sassanid State
The Zoroastrian priesthood had endured rule by Parthians, and they had suffered from a prevalence of religions that were not Persian in origin. The founder of the Sassanid dynasty, Ardashir, took power in 224 CE, and his rule pleased the Zoroastrian priesthood. Ardashir allied himself with Zorastrianism. He announced that religion and kingship were brothers and said his rule was the will of God. The Zoroastrian priesthood felt empowered, and they looked forward to converting non-Zoroastrians who lived within Ardashir's empire.

From Abraham to David – Yahweh
The word Hebrew has been associated with the word Hiberu and Apiru, described in Wikipedia as " the name given by various Sumerian, Egyptian, Akkadian, Hittite, Mitanni, and Ugaritic sources (dated, roughly, from before 2000 BC to around 1200 BC) to a group of people living as nomadic invaders in areas of the Fertile Crescent from Northeastern Mesopotamia and Iran to the borders of Egypt in Canaan." They are "variously described as nomadic or semi-nomadic, rebels, outlaws, raiders, mercenaries, and bowmen, servants, slaves, migrant laborers, etc." Continue reading From Abraham to David – Yahweh
The Persian Nowruz
By : Iraj Bashiri
The oldest of Iranian traditions, Nowruz (also referred to as eyd-i sar-i sal and eyd-i sal-i now) recalls the cosmological and mythological times of Iran. Its founder is a deputy of Ahura Mazda on earth, a position that imparts to him and the celebration a spiritual dimension and a particular sense of secular authority. The celebration is organized according to the dynamics of love between the Creator and his creation, the material world. The annual return of the spirits of the departed to their homes is celebrated by their offspring according to primordial rites of which only a faint trace remains among the Persians and the Parsees of today. But that in no way diminishes the importance of the bond which is refreshed at every Nowruz. Continue reading The Persian Nowruz
Ardashir Conquers and the Persians, to CE 241
Ardashir Conquers
During the war between Marcus Aurelius and the Parthians (the years 162-66) the Great Pestilence not only devastated the Romans, it threw the economy of the Parthian Empire into decline. While the Roman Empire was busy with German intrusions, plague and a rapid turnover in emperors, the Parthian Empire disintegrated. The Parthians no longer ruled in Persia. They now ruled only in Mesopotamia. And, in Persia, nobles and villagers sought protection from roaming bands of brigands and the small armies of local despots. Continue reading Ardashir Conquers and the Persians, to CE 241

Contact: Sandy Connolly, Director of Communications
Office of Higher Education
(651) 259-3902
The Minnesota Office of Higher Education completed the sale of $100 million in revenue bonds to provide additional funds for its student loan program. The bond sale will enable the agency to meet continuing strong demand for the SELF Loan program.
The program was created in 1985 to provide students with long-term, low-interest educational loans. The program is operated at no cost to the state. SELF Loans are funded entirely by revenue bonds, investment earnings and loans repaid by borrowers. SELF Loan disbursements for fiscal year 2008 were $133 million for 28,000 students.
Funds generated by the bond sale, along with loan repayments from borrowers, and investment earnings will provide resources to enable the agency to make about 20,000 additional loans to students initially, and as loans are repaid, the funds can be recycled for new loans. The bond sale should ensure the availability of new SELF Loans for the next one to two years.
Minnesota students attending eligible postsecondary institutions within or outside Minnesota and non-residents attending eligible postsecondary institutions in Minnesota may apply for SELF Loans. There are no minimum or maximum income thresholds and no application fees. Students pay quarterly interest while in school and the interest rate is adjusted quarterly with a January 1, 2009 interest rate of 5.7 percent.
The bond sale was underwritten by RBC Capital Markets in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The bonds are backed by a Letter of Credit from U.S. Bank in St. Paul, Minnesota with U.S. Bank also serving as the trustee. Public Financial Management of Minneapolis served as financial advisor to the Office of Higher Education for the bond issue.
"The SELF Loan program serves a broad range of students, many of whom have exhausted their other financial aid options," said Susan Heegaard, Director of the Office of Higher Education." In these uncertain economic times, we are pleased to be able to offer this tool for students to help them complete their degrees."
The Minnesota Office of Higher Education is a cabinet-level state agency providing students with financial aid programs and information to help them gain access to postsecondary education. In addition to the SELF Loan Program, the agency administers a large need-based state grant program that supplements the Federal Pell Grant program. The agency also oversees tuition reciprocity programs, Minnesota's 529 college savings program, institutional licensing and early college awareness initiatives. In addition, the agency serves as the state's clearinghouse for data, research and analysis on postsecondary enrollment, financial aid, finance and trends.
For information about the SELF Loan program, contact the financial aid office at the college you attend or are considering attending, or contact the Minnesota Office of Higher Education at (800) 657-3866 or visit www.selfloan.org.

Portland could top 100 inches of snow for season
88.2 inches of snow have fallen so far
Another foot of snow could fall on Portland this week.
While this storm won't be enough to set any records, it will be enough to make many Mainers wish they were flying south this week.
So far this winter, 88.2 inches of snow have fallen at the Jetport.
That's the 35th-highest total since meteorologists started keeping records in 1882.
The winter of 1970 and 1971 set the record for the most snowfall in Portland with 141.5 inches of snow.
Click here for the top 20 winter snowfalls in Portland history.
It's safe to say the winter of 2012 and 2013 won't break that record but, if Portland tops 100 total inches for the winter, that puts this season in rare company.
Only 15 winter seasons have topped 100 inches of snowfall in the last 131 years.
Recently, the winter of 2007 and 2008 and the winter of 2004 and 2005 topped the century marks.
This winter did give Portland a record-setting single snowfall with 31.9 inches falling at the Jetport during the blizzard of Feb. 8 and 9.
In 2012, temperatures topped 70 degrees in the days following St. Patrick's Day.
Portland officials said the city is already 8 percent over its snow-removal budget before the first snowflake drops this week.
"Public safety is our number one priority, so our public safety is what we're going to focus on at the time, right now. How we finish out the budget year, that may be affected," Assistant Director of Public Services Eric Labelle said.
Nearly 50 city workers are expected to be on 16-hour shifts when the storm hits.
"We're getting back and loading trucks, making sure everything's operating as we need it to operate and we'll be ready for tonight," Labelle said.
Casey Cartwright with Beach Bagels said workers will continue to close up shop in the mid-afternoons until the warm weather rolls around.
Leon Rossouw, of Kennebunkport, said he decided to leave early for a business trip to South Carolina.
"We kind of figured spring was here, but there's a big storm coming, so we're glad we're leaving now," Rossouw said.

The ASUS Vivo Tab RT is let down by questionable build quality and a cramped physical keyboard.
Design and display
The ASUS Vivo Tab RT uses a very similar design to the ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity, an Android based tablet that features the same detachable keyboard dock concept. The Vivo Tab RT itself without the keyboard dock makes a positive first impression. At 525g it's lighter than both the 4th Generation iPad and the Microsoft Surface RT. It measures just 8.3mm thick, too, so it's relatively comfortable to hold.
Our review model was finished in a grey, brushed aluminium colour, which is the main difference from the Transformer Infinity's "spun finished", circular pattern. This brushed finish takes up about three quarters of the back panel, with the other quarter taken up by an indented, grey plastic strip along the top. ASUS experienced widely reported issues with Wi-Fi and GPS performance on previous Transformer models, so the strip is obviously designed to prevent such issues from arising again. It does detract from the overall look of the Vivo Tab RT, but it's a compromise we can easily live with.
What's harder to live with is the Vivo Tab RT's questionable build quality. The case easily flexes when force is applied and twists far too easily for our liking. There's noticeable creaks when you press the back of the tablet, especially towards the edges of the device. The Vivo Tab RT feels far flimsier than the Transformer Prime tablet that it's based on.
There are another couple of annoyances, too. When holding the tablet with two hands you can often cover the speakers on either side, effectively muffling the sound. The speakers are loud enough to comfortably watch a movie or listen to music in a quiet room and the fact there's two of them means volume is punchier than most other tablets we've reviewed.
On the left side of the Vivo Tab RT you'll find a micro-HDMI port (covered by an annoying rubber flap) and a microSD card slot, while the top edge houses a small power/lock button with a tiny LED charging indicator and a microphone. On the right is a standard 3.5mm headphone jack and a volume rocker. The buttons are well positioned and easy to press.
On the bottom of the tablet is a proprietary ASUS dock connection. This may be an annoyance but it offers two benefits: it connects the tablet to the keyboard dock, and charges the device much faster (around an hour and a half) than a regular micro USB charger would. Also on the bottom of the Vivo Tab RT are two holes that attach to the dock. Unlike the Transformer Prime, the Vivo Tab RT's keyboard dock does not leave visible scuff marks on the bottom of the tablet. ASUS includes a full-sized USB adapter in the sales package, which plugs into dock port at the bottom.
The ASUS Vivo Tab RT comes with a super IPS + display with a resolution of 1366x768, which is the same resolution that appears to be standard fare on the first round of Windows RT devices. The screen is bright and clear, displays vivid colours and has excellent viewing angles, particularly vertical. Its biggest weakness is the fact that it can't display the same super crisp text as the iPad's higher resolution 'retina' screen. This is most notable when displaying text, such as browsing Web pages through the Internet Explorer browser, or reading books through the Amazon Kindle app. For other tasks, like playing games, or watching movies, the Vivo Tab RT's display is excellent.
Keyboard dock
The ASUS Vivo Tab RT's keyboard dock adds a full-sized USB port, a trackpad, and its own built-in battery. ASUS says the Vivo Tab RT is good for up to nine hours of battery life as a stand alone tablet and up to 16 hours if the keyboard dock is connected. Impressively, if both the tablet and the keyboard dock batteries are fully charged, the Vivo Tab RT draws power from the keyboard dock first in order to preserve power for tablet-only use.
Unfortunately, using the keyboard dock is a chore thanks to the small keys and a cramped trackpad that hinders the overall user experience. The keys are spaced well but they are significantly smaller than the ones on the Transformer Pad Infinity's dock. We regularly and routinely missed keys while typing, even after a full week of use. The keys aren't backlit either, which makes typing at night time rather difficult.
The trackpad is very small and therefore doesn't lend itself to effectively use multitouch gestures, like pinch-to-zoom. Its height is also a particular problem for two finger scrolling on Web pages through the Internet Explorer browser. Unlike the Transformer Pad Infinity, the Vivo Tab RT's keyboard dock doesn't offer a full-sized SD card slot, which is a feature we really would have appreciated.
Another annoyance is connecting and removing the Vivo Tab RT to and from the dock. There's no firm click when the tablet attaches into place, although the arrows on both the dock and the tablet are a nice touch as is the audio confirmation that the dock is connected. Removing the tablet from the dock is a difficult and awkward process due to the odd location of the release switch on the bottom left side of the tablet. It's a two handed affair and the process is rather clunky.
Software & performance
As its name suggests, the ASUS Vivo Tab RT runs the Windows 8 RT operating system. It looks and operates just like the full version of Windows 8, with one big difference: it's basically a tablet-only version of Windows, which can only run apps from the Windows Store. There's no support for regular Windows desktop apps.
There aren't many apps in the Windows Store — the likes of Skype, eBay, TuneIn Radio, Evernote and Kindle are all present, but apps this author uses regularly, like Dropbox, Pocket, Spotify, Pinterest, Pulse News and Flipboard aren't available right now. The Store will only improve its catalogue over time as third-party app developers jump on board, but for now the Vivo Tab RT feels very limited.
There are a few positives despite the lack of apps. The Start screen, which uses a new Live Tile interface is intuitive and smooth. These tiles display live and updated information, so you can quickly glance at information without having to actually open apps. This is useful to see new emails as they arrive, for example, checking on the weather, or seeing the latest updates to your social networking feeds like Twitter and Facebook. The overall look and feel of the Start screen is also fresh and attractive and the vibrant interface appears to be floating on the Vivo Tab RT's screen.
Like all Windows RT tablets, the Vivo Tab RT also includes a full Microsoft Office suite with Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote apps. The Office suite preloaded on the device is only a preview, but Microsoft says that once the full version is released, it will be available for users via Windows Update. It's a suite that allows you to save directly to the cloud (that is, Skydrive), which is convenient. Users get 7GB of SkyDrive storage for free, which is significantly more than those offered on other services like Dropbox, Google Drive and Apple's iCloud.
Gaming is also a highlight of the Vivo Tab RT. The Tegra 3 processor has no trouble dealing with graphically intense games like Riptide GP, while we also played the likes of Jetpack Joyride and Cut the Rope without any issues. The frame rate is fast and graphics are impressive. ASUS also bundles a few of extra apps with the Vivo Tab RT. The ASUS Camera app adds a few image effects to your photos, and SuperNote is handy if you don't already use an alternate notetaking app.
Once you start opening other apps, however, things take a turn for the worse. The Vivo Tab RT is a sluggish device that takes far too long to do basic tasks. Most apps, including Microsoft's pre-loaded native Windows RT apps, take several seconds to load. Once opened, they often need to load additional elements that takes more time. Further, swiping through open apps is often sluggish and the Windows Store offers abysmal performance. It crashed repeatedly during our testing.
What's more puzzling than the poor performance is that the Windows RT interface on the Vivo Tab RT looks exactly like Windows 8 and even has a Desktop component. The desktop component of Windows RT runs as its own app on the system, and you can open up programs and system windows within it. You can re-arrange windows like you can on a regular laptop or desktop computer, and you can use the File Explorer interface to copy, move and manage your files.
The mere fact that the Desktop is there will end up confusing many users who then try to install software from a Web site or a USB stick. However, the main problem is that you need to switch back and forth between the Windows 8 tablet user interface and the Desktop in order to get things done. For example, if you plug in a USB stick full of photos to the Vivo Tab RT and you want to open them up in the Photos app, you'll have to first transfer them to the Pictures library. If you open one photo (which opens in the Photos app by default) thinking that you can simply browse through the rest of the photos in the folder, you'll be disappointed. You can only flick through them once they are in the library.
Sadly, these kind of inconsistencies are common place on the Vivo Tab RT and the Windows RT operating system. Another example is a basic .wav file, like our office phone voicemail recording sent via email, that refused to play on the Vivo Tab RT. It opened in the Music app, then directed us to the Store to find an app that supports .wav files, where we were presented with a very thin selection. This basic file opens without issues on the Apple iPad and Google Android tablets.
Camera & battery life
The ASUS Vivo Tab RT comes with dual cameras — a front-facing 2-megapixel camera and a rear-facing 8-megapixel camera that also doubles as a 1080p video recorder. We found the front camera worked well for video calling apps like Skype, though it captures poor quality still images. The rear camera fares much better in this department and it's aided by the ASUS Camera app, which provides a number of image filters to use.
The Vivo Tab RT is a Wi-Fi only model at this stage. ASUS says it may release a 3G model in Australia at a later date, but no further details have been revealed.
The Vivo Tab RT has excellent battery life. During testing, we recorded best figures of just almost nine hours without the dock, and just over 14 hours with the keyboard dock connected. While this is slightly less than ASUS claims it is still a fantastic result. Even if you don't use the keyboard dock extensively, using it as a reasonably lightweight charger isn't a bad idea.
The 32GB Wi-Fi model of the ASUS Vivo Tab RT sells for $749 in Australia.
