Do you believe the theory of an Aryan race is merely that - theory or are there relevant facts? Look over the following: It is one of the ironies of history that Aryan, a word nowadays referring to the blond-haired, blue-eyed physical ideal of Nazi Germany, originally referred to a people who looked vastly different. Its history starts with the ancient Indo-Iranians, Indo-European peoples who inhabited parts of what are now Iran, Afghanistan, and India. Their tribal self-designation was a word reconstructed as *arya- or *rya-. The first of these is the form found in Iranian, as ultimately in the name of Iran itself (from Middle Persian rn (ahr), “(Land) of the Iranians,” from the genitive plural of r, “Iranian”). The variant *rya- is found unchanged in Sanskrit, where it referred to the upper crust of ancient Indian society. These words became known to European scholars in the 18th century. The shifting of meaning that eventually led to the present-day sense started in the 1830s, when Friedrich Schlegel, a German scholar who was an important early Indo-Europeanist, came up with a theory that linked the Indo-Iranian words with the German word Ehre, “honor,” and older Germanic names containing the element ario-, such as the Swiss warrior Ariovistus who was written about by Julius Caesar. Schlegel theorized that far from being just a designation of the Indo-Iranians, the word *arya- had in fact been what the Indo-Europeans called themselves, meaning something like “the honorable people.” (This theory has since been called into question.) Thus “Aryan” came to be synonymous with “Indo-European,” and in this sense entered the general scholarly consciousness of the day. Not much later, it was proposed that the original homeland of the Indo-Europeans had been in northern Europe. From this theory, it was but a small leap to think of the Aryans as having had a northern European physiotype. While these theories were playing themselves out, certain anti-Semitic scholars in Germany took to viewing the Jews in Germany as the main non-Aryan people because of their Semitic roots; a distinction thus arose in their minds between Jews and the “true Aryan” Germans, a distinction that later furnished unfortunate fodder for the racial theories of the Nazis.

Like many in this thread, Israeli soldiers have a hard time with policies.
Burning Conscience: Israeli Soldiers Speak Out http:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37MFa7ZKQWo// **SYNOPSIS** Occupied territories: The job of taking away freedom, controlling people, creating hatred. Disinfo/fractalinfo of IDF (Israel Defense Force) to public. Breaking the code of silence, exposing corruption (theft, looting), policies, procedures, orders, classified (unwritten) rules of engagement, elite unit officer in rafa (destruction of houses). Policies & procedures are so corrupt from the start, so tragic, disasterous. Noam Chayut: Ministry of Foreign Affairs from Israel says, "The public opinion in the US is the most powerful weapon that the IDF has, or that Israel has." And, 9/11, ten minutes after the airplane hit the tower, the first tower, they were on their way to Jenin to blow up houses.

I see that many of the people in positions of power also hold the trait of having green eyes. So your remark about white people being responsible makes as much sense as starting a witch hunt for people who have green eyes. See my point? The 'powers that be' use the masses and their habit of generalisations to their advantage more then anyone can even begin imagine. Blame the jews.. No, Blame the white people.. And all the while the big pink elephant sits there in the middle of the room eating jaffa cakes and drinking mulled wine laughing as the people run around pointing fingers at all these 'groups' without even taking a moment to aknowledge that those responsible are individuals from all races and creeds. |

I am indebted to Laurence Gardner and his book 'Genesis of the Grail Kings' for the following shortened narrative: The Nephilims were not giants, as erroneosuly translated sometimes. The word Nephelim means the Fallen Ones. They were the sons of God, the 'aggelos', or the 'fallen angels'. They were fallen ones in a double sense, they had descended in their ships, and they had fallen in love with 'the daughters of men'. By making a giant leap we go to the Hebrew pantheon. In time the Sumerian gods became adopted by the Hebrews, first in the form of JHWH, which means father/mother and son/daughter, a balanced foursome, an acronym for the One God. Their individual names were: Y were El (the father), H was Ashtoreth, the mother, W corresponded to the son, Baal, and H was the daughter Anath. However the history of the Hebrews entailed several moves and diasporas, and they were conquered by various peoples, such as the Syrians and the Romans. The Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed several times and this is when JHWH became reduced to Jehovah, an all-male god. His consort, the Bride of Jehovah, originating from the Shekinah,The Holy Spirit, who is the female aspect of the One Infinite Creator of All-Oneness, went by several names, but originally as Ashtoreth (Lady of the Sea, Progenitress of the gods), or Ashera, and she is mentioned 40 times in the Old Testament. She traditionally resided in the Temple of Jerusalem, but when it was destroyed and rebuilt, she had 'disappeared'. The final cementing of YHWH into the All-Male single deity Jehovah,who was another name for the Sumerian god Enlil, came 500 years after their captivity in Sumer. The balanced YHWH became the all-male Jehovah (originally Enlil, who was a fallen angel). Morover, Jehovah had lost his bride, and she represented Sophia, Wisdom. The scolars and scribes shook their heads, doubting the ability of Jehovah to reign without his wisdom aspect, his Sophia. Thus are the roots of three patriarchal religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. To the Hebrews, Jehovah transcended even nature herself, and in consequence of this evolving thought process the true harmony of humankind and nature was forfeit. This is the view that we all were forced to adopt by default, and the status of womanhood was methodically undermined for centuries by the contrived dogma of the misinterpreded Bible texts. So, a fallen angel who had lost his wisdom aspect, this are the bare bones left of what once was a balanced dualism of male and female. We all know how that one went. The Queen of Heaven was lost, and we were stuck with the lonley male aspect of 'godhood' who became more and more autocrathic, irrational, onesided, capricious, lacking the depth only wisdom can bring. It ended in the present mess we are in. |

Harvest time is coming.... You failed to quote the part that said, I don't believe IRAN would do this no more than I believe Iraq had anything to do with 9/11 or presented a threat to the US. |
