Robert W. Sullivan, Esq. | The Royal Arch of Enoch - The Impact of Masonic Ritual. Philosophy, and Symbolism | Part 1 of 2

And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. - Genesis 5:24. The Royal Arch of Enoch: The Impact of Masonic Ritual, Philosophy, and Symbolism documents an undiscovered historical anomaly: how a high degree Masonic Ritual - developed in France in the mid 1700s - included elements of the Book of Enoch which was considered lost until Freemason and traveler James Bruce returned to Europe with copies from Ethiopia in 1773. These copies were not translated into English until 1821 at Oxford University. This high degree ritual - titled The Royal Arch of Enoch - documents the recovery of the Lost Word of a Master Mason , the Name of God. It is this ritual in particular that has defined, among other things, the American national character. The Royal Arch of Enoch also documents the symbolic restoration of the sun as the premier icon in all of Freemasonry and as the supreme emblem of imperial administration and religiosity lifted from the Ancient Mysteries, incorporated into the Abrahamic Faiths, and carried on in both Blue Lodge and High Degree Masonry. Robert W. Sullivan presents a real life Da Vinci Code/National Treasure mystery, previously unknown to history and historians in both the East and West.

John LeBoutillier | U.S. Cover-Up of POW/MIA Abandoned in Southeast Asia | Part 1 of 2

Former U.S. congressman John LeBoutillier (R) New York, for former U.S. congressman Bill Hendon (R) North Carolina, discussed the evidence for a sizable group of American POWs being left behind in Vietnam. LeBoutillier said that after the war, a deal was cut to pay billions to North Vietnam for rebuilding their country and returning the remaining POWs. But as the Watergate scandal broke, Nixon and Kissinger reneged on the arrangement, and around 700 prisoners were kept in Vietnam. Others have worked for 20 years in Washington DC to uncover the truth about the POWs, and there has been much intelligence that has referenced the missing soldiers. Specifically, spy satellite photographs, one of which (see below) showed "USA" spelled out in 12 ft. tall letters in a rice field, along with a 24 ft. tall "Walking K" an "escape and evasion" code only known to US pilots in N. Laos. In the early 80's, Reagan tried to get the POWs back, but advisors talked him out of it. By 1992, an investigation chaired by McCain and Kerry concluded there were no American refugees left in Vietnam. It is believed there could be as many as 500-600 POWs still alive there, and that the US government is engaged in a cover-up of the evidence for their existence. A terrible truth is now emerging: Recently declassified documents show that American prisoners are to this day still crying out for help in Vietnam. North Carolina congressman Bill Hendon and attorney Elizabeth A. Stewart- An Enormous Crime: The Definfive Account of American POW's Abandoned in Southeast Asia - presents evidence that 700 surviving U.S. airmen and infantry were marooned by the country for which they went to war, and to this day remain unacknowledged by that same country, the United States of America. In spite of decades during which these POWs have bravely signaled for help, and in which numerous refugees and visitors from Indochina have in turn corroborated their pleas, their heartrending tale has been dismissed as nothing more than conspiracy theory and rumor. Shockingly, the proof laid out in An Enormous Crime proves otherwise, such as the 1991 satellite images of two Americans in North Vietnam who had stamped out their pilot authenticator codes in the grass in the compound where they were being held. Another satellite photograph showed "USA" spelled out in 12-foot-tall letters in a rice field, along with a 24-foot-tall "Walking K" - an escape and evasion code only known to U.S. pilots in North Laos. To begin to understand this travesty, it's important to go back to the beginning: In 1972, negotiations began with the Vietnamese to settle scores. At issue was the return of American POWs. During late 1972 and early 1973, a deal was struck whereby half of the 1,400 US POWs held by North Vietnam would be released once military withdrawal began. The initial 700 or so American soldiers held captive were flown out of Hanoi during Operation Homecoming later in 1973. It was agreed upon by the Nixon administration and the North Vietnamese that the other 700 POWs would be released upon delivery of $4 billion in war reparations from the United States to the North Vietnamese government. But as the Watergate scandal broke, Nixon reneged on the arrangement, and the last 700 POWs were kept in Vietnam. All future presidents after Nixon had their own reasons for failing to take notice off the 700 POWs left behind: For Carter it was the American public's desire to put Vietnam behind them, and later, the Iranian hostage crisis. In the early 80's, Reagan tried to get the POWs back, but his advisors talked him out of it. The problem, the advisors told him, was that the fragile U.S.-backed El Salvadoran government was under serious threat of being overthrown by Russian and Cuban trained Communists, and Nicaragua didn't look far behind. The advisors told Regan that it was necessary to overlook the POWs in order to put all American military efforts toward the darkening South American situation. As the 80's gave way to the 90's, re-engagement of Vietnam by the U.S. government became a priority. Thus George H.W. Bush helped maintain the cover up of mounting evidence that hundreds of POWs still survived in Indochina, as did Bill Clinton, who himself struck down all sanctions and embargoes against Vietnam in 1992. But even in that same year, satellite photos over Vietnam revealed airman-specific 4-digit authenticator codes proving almost conclusively that as of 1992, U.S. airmen downed in Vietnam during the war remained alive and were signaling for help. Yet, the Defense Intelligence Agency and the Clinton administration actively sought (as had prior U.S. governments) to close investigations in all of these cases. Even John Kerry and John McCain - both Vietnam veterans, McCain a former POW himself - were vigorous participants in "debunking" and even destroying documentation, intelligence reports, and satellite photography, often referring to the visible markings in such photos as "shading" or "anomalies". I am haunted by these revelations. The average age of a U.S. soldier in Vietnam was 19. Those ignored boys have now grown into invisible men, their last memories of friends and family dim, sepia-toned recollections from a time when Lyndon Johnson and hippies and mini-skirts still walked the earth. They have spent 35 to 40 years or more in captivity - in dirty, dingy cells - under some of the harshest conditions imaginable. And the U.S. government, knowing this, has simply disregarded them as though they don't exist. The POWs we left behind have been forced to perform backbreaking manual labor in jungles and rice fields as if they were little more than cattle. They have been marched from secret prison to secret prison, shuffled around like so many toy soldiers in some sadistic child's game. They have been beaten, underfed, confined underground, and forbidden even the most meager of comforts. In a 21st Century world which has long since moved on, they signal for help. And still, no one comes. I hold little hope that those responsible will ever reverse course, or even be made to answer for leaving these poor souls behind to die in cages, broken and old. That leaves you and I to be the ones to change things. I've done what I can do. What about you? <a href="images/usasatelliteimage.jpg" target="_blank"> <img src="images/usasatelliteimage.jpg" style="border: 3px double #252211" border="0" width="306" height="368"> </a> <a href="images/vn_pow.jpg" target="_blank"> <img src="images/vn_pow.jpg" style="border: 3px double #252211" border="0"> </a>

Alan B. Jones | How the World Really Works | Part 1 of 2

More and more Americans are coming to feel that something has gone fundamentally wrong in our society. We have suffered repetitive wars, big and small, some won and some lost, but with the peace always lost. Our society has been drained of around $5 trillion in welfare costs since LBJ's War on Poverty was declared, but with no diminution in the incidence of "poverty". Our "War on Drugs" has also been lost, with its societal costs running around $500 billion per year. The cost of fixes for runaway environmentalism has reached about $1 trillion since the birth of the EPA in 1970. Our national debt is over $5 trillion and still going up. Two breadwinners per family has become normal, just to keep bread on the table. Americans feel put upon, and they are right, but they don't know who's doing it to them or why. Such issues have been pondered by researchers for many years, but the historical facts are finally bringing the pieces of the puzzle together. This book paints a picture of that largely completed puzzle, and lays out who the culprits are, why they are doing what they are doing, and how they are managing to pull off what is probably the biggest mass robbery of wealth and individual freedom in human history. This interview will help to expose and stop the destruction, and help to guarantee a future of freedom rather than slavery for your children. A crash course in the conspiracy field. Digests of twelve works like A Century of War, Tragedy and Hope, The Creature from Jekyll Island, and Dope Inc. yield an across-the-spectrum, composite profile of the suspect. Each covers a different aspect of the hydra-headed conspiracy that manipulates mankind in many different, even contradictory guises: it's the Anglo-American global power elite, hiding in plain view. Knowledge is power. Unmasking the tricks of the "wizard behind the curtain" offers us the way to neutralize its power, and get our destiny back on the right track. Alan B. Jones presents overwhelming evidence that the many misfortunes our country has suffered during this last century have not just happened by chance. He has researched the works of many writers seeking to find out WHO is impoverishing us, and WHY and HOW they are doing it. His findings are presented via a series of in-depth reviews of a carefully selected set of books, mostly little-known but a few famous, written by others. Taken together, a coherent picture emerges which precious few among even our political activists understand.

Frank Joseph Hoff | Atlantis: The Lost Continent Finally Found | Part 1 of 2

Researcher of ancient mysteries, Frank Joseph Hoff, spoke about his contention that Atlantis is located on land under the South China Sea near Indonesia, based on the work of the late Brazilian geologist Arysio Santos. A continent that contained Lemuria was damaged around 74,000 years ago from volcanic eruptions, and the residents rebuilt their civilization over the next 60,000 years into what was known as Atlantis, he outlined. They were a seafaring trading empire, with their capital city using the Lombak Strait which connects the Java Sea to the Indian Ocean, he continued. The word Atlantis, first used by Plato, actually refers to the opposite side of the world from Europe, he noted. Atlantis was known for having huge elephants and at the Bandung Museum in Indonesia, there are fossil skeletons of giant elephants, close to the size of woolly mammoths, Hoff added. He also talked about the Indonesian Gunung Padang Pyramid Mountain (related images), which may date as far back as 14,000 to 16,000 years ago, according to carbon testing. Geologist Andang Bachtiar, a member of the Indonesian Task Force that studies ancient ruins in Indonesia, briefly joined the show, and reported there is evidence for a devastating ancient tsunami. In tandem with his 7/4/2/13 appearance, Frank Joseph Hoff sends several images from Indonesia.

David Allen Rivera | Final Warning: A History of the New World Order | Part 1 of 2

"Final Warning" is the definitive resource on the nature and origins of the movement towards a one-world government. A wealth of in-depth research explains the roles of the major arms of the conspiracy today, such as the Federal Reserve, the Committee on Foreign Relations (CFR), the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderbergers. The history of the New World Order is traced, from the Illuminati and the fomenting of the French Revolution, to the 1913 takeover of the US government by the bankers, the world wars, the rise of communism and the United Nations. Little does this country know, it has been infiltrated by conspirators. Members of an organization, who, for over 237 years, have controlled the destiny of the United States- and are now poised for the establishment of a one-world socialist government- with them in control. It sounds unbelievable, like something out of a James Bond movie, yet, it is a fact. A fact that the media has refused to publicize, even attempting to cover it up and deny its very existence. In 1910, a group of International Bankers secretly met on a small island off the coast of Georgia. Their plan: to formulate a program to destroy the financial structure of America. To do that, they manipulated Woodrow Wilson into the presidency; and in 1913, Wilson signed into law the Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Income Tax. In 1921, these International Bankers established the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). The U.S. Government took advantage of the CFR's experience in finance and foreign affairs, and one of their study groups became part of the State Department in 1941. The secret goal of this study group was to condition the Congress, and the people of this country to accept the establishment of the United Nations (UN). The UN, initiated in 1945, does not seek to promote world peace and cooperation- it was the first step towards a one-world government that is being sold to us as a New World Order. The CFR is a subsidiary of the Round Table Organization, a group of British elitists, who are a continuation of the Order known as the Illuminati. They have been controlling world events. They control world leaders and the money that runs their countries. They can elect a President, and they can kill a President. They can shut-off the oil, they can shut-off the food- they can plunge the world into war. Even though they operate under the strictest secrecy, their goals have been known for over 2,000 years. Henry Kissinger, the former Secretary of State, National Security Advisor and author of a number of books on foreign policy, who is a frequent guest with the PBS interviewer Charlie Rose; appeared on his show on Friday, March 23, 2007, in the first of a series of interviews with various politicians, on the future of America's Foreign Policy and its role in the world, called A Memo to the Next President. Kissinger said (in the last few minutes of the show): "Yes, we are living in a period of tremendous turmoil now. But I think that at the end of this administration (Bush), with all its turmoil, and at the beginning of the next, we might actually witness the creation of a New World Order, because people, looking in the abyss, even in the Islamic world, have to conclude that at some point, ordered expectations must return under a different system." Originally self-published in 1984 and 1994, it was published in 2004 by Conspiracy Books (Intelibooks) and in 2010, Part One (The Physical Conspiracy) was republished in a 366-page edition by Progressive Press, the leading source of books about the global conspiracy. This seminal work still stands alone as the definitive reference compendium on the origin and history of the Illuminati, the New World Order, and their efforts to establish one-world government. Approaching the subject from a pragmatic point of view, this book takes you step-by-step through history to give you a concise explanation about how their plan is being accomplished. Do you want to know why, even though a new President is elected or the majority in the Congress changes, things don't seem any different? When you hear that 'They' are responsible for something, do you want to know who 'They' are? Learn about the origin and history of the New World Order, and how they are driving an unsuspecting world towards the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
