INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL: A REVIEW

INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL (2008)

This is a film that was easy to look at and generally fun. One might describe it as being one of Spielberg’s better efforts, but that would be dishonest. Still, it is diverting. There are endless forms of tussling. The film takes on the character of a chase flick from the outset, when kids are out driving some sort of hotrod convertible and “playing” with a convoy of U.S. Army soldiers.

This movie looks good, moves about well, and is well-choreographed. Here, I am referring to the intricate chases and tussles that fill the flick. This adventure film takes its action seriously. It is mostly froth, as opposed to beer.

I believe that the frequent use of animals as a source of comedy rivals theTarzan movies. The movie begins with a prairie dog sneaking-a-peek at his world. Thereafter, the moviegoer will encounter “rat snakes,” monkeys, army ants, and scorpions. The ludicrous usage made of the rat snake takes it out of any fearful status. The monkeys seem to be a bit patronizing toward the humans–but who could blame them?

There is a sort of ritual temple encountered toward the film’s end that looks to be a generic Aztec-Mayan one, but which is incredibly crafted with skillful use of levers, gears and weights and ballasts. Frankly, at times in this flick I got so lost by its milieu that I half expected to see Patrick and Benjamin Franklin Gates enter to solve the riddle and gain the “national treasure” (“Take any man’s treasure! The laws of nations are at my command!”). Maybe we will soon witness Indiana Jones and the Gates sharing an improbable adventure.

I thought the special effects were done well. I especially liked the rendering of the detonation of a nuclear device at the Army testing facility. The mushroom cloud and shock waves were well rendered. As with most aspects of this film, a humorous element seems available to the viewer. There are “tongue in cheek” moments. Deadly doings and belly laughs are like two bulls pulling this “carnie” trailer along.

Among the perils encountered by our intrepid adventurer, Indiana Jones, are a vast army of ants (rather large ones, at that). These mini-villains took care of Spalko’s “big boy” comrade. In fact, as loony as it sounds, they dragged the Russian brute down their rather commodious anthole. Bon appetit!

The final aboriginal temple, rising from a high valley clearing in that pyramidal shape to which we are accustomed, had had several prefigurements, including the prairie dog “home” at the outset and the army ant mound.

Further, I saw a certain suggestion of the “Visitor’s” exit in the mushroom cloud that bellowed up from the nuclear detonation.

Additionally, in regard to these “Visitors,” at one point their was a sort of mosaic rendering of the thirteen original “gods,” each seated on a highback chair, after the fashion of a council of lords or judges. For me it recalled and symbolized the thirteen tribes of Israel (inserting for Joseph his sons, Ephraim and Manasseh). They are destined to sit as judges. When, at the end, they collapsed into one figure, it recalled the regathering of Israel.

Now, I’m not so sure that Spielberg may not have had something of the sort in mind, except his emphasis is that these “gods” come from somewhere else. That dovetails with the twin propositions found in Jewry of the utter uniqueness of Jews, relative to other people, and their consistent interest in intelligent life in outer space–perhaps far more advanced than earthlings. I believe that Jewish sci-fi writers, as well as popularizers of space science, such as the late Carl Sagan, have created scenarios for space-based stories, ostensibly involving a potpouri of interesting beings but always with Jewry itself as the abiding inspiration.  If you listen carefully to Jews speaking in this area, you can easily infer that there exists within Jewry the idea that Jews, themselves, at one time came from outer space and created the Bible to represent their origins and to imprint upon the lesser order of beings a system of beliefs, allowing for both hegemony and orderliness.

Story capsule: Indiana Jones and “Mac” (Ray Winstone), who is a MI6, or double agent cad, are shanghaied by U.S.S.R agents under the leadership of “Irina Spalko” (Cate Blanchett). They take their captives to a nuclear testing facility at which there is also a huge warehouse containing several hundred, perhaps thousands, of boxes of various sizes but often large. Good thing for beefy Indiana! Spalko is looking for a box that Indiana Jones had help to fill with a “thing” (he’s not sure what) at a “dig” under the auspices of the Pentagon. (The implication is UFO matters.) The whereabouts of the box in this vast archive of boxes Indiana didn’t know. Spalko threatens him. He recalls that it is highly magnetic and uses that characteristic–along with gun powder and buckshot–to help locate the box. As the commies are focused on opening the box and bagged “thing”, Indiana has the opportunity to rumble. After much running about, he finds himself inside a Potemkin village for A-bomb test. The seconds dwindle down to a precious few befor the imminent detonation. Indiana jumps inside a refrigerator, which is conveniently lined with lead. (Of course, the lead may cause some permanent physical injury also, but doesn’t rank with being at ground zero of a nuke blast.) And please! Let’s not meditate upon the subject of breathing radioactive particles at ground zero , when the shock wave tosses your refrigerator “safe house” a quarter of a mile, breaking it open. Rescued and scrubbed down by the Army (or Feds), Indiana is suspected of collaboration with the commies, who had, as the opening scenes of the flick revealed, murdered all the Army guards. The F.B.I. considered him a “person of interest.” His old Army contacts vouched for him, but the Feds weren’t so sure.

[Parenthetically, in this film there are implications that the concern over communists in our leading institutions was manifested by heavy-handed goverment actions, which amounted to a cruel "witch-hunt." Yet, the birth of the Republic of Russia has allowed scholars access to material previously unavailable to the West. From this material the extent of communist infiltration is far better known and this data rather strongly vindicates the late Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin. Although Sen. McCarthy's name has been defamed and himself demonized, he was obviously generally correct. From these Soviet archives, it is known, for example, that Supreme Court Judge Felix Frankfurter was a communist agent. He was the legal mentor and friend of Philip Graham, who had married Eugene Meyer's daughter, Katherine, and led The Washington Post, until his alleged suicide. Katherine's "child," Donnie, is said to run the Post presently. How deep the influence of such communists happened to be cannot be known. Another agent of communism was the physicist Oppenheimer, who led the effort to create an atom bomb to drop on the hated German people, which people committed the crime of desiring self-rule and of seeking "a room of their own" on this great Earth. The Irina Spalko character specifically mentions Oppenheimer favorably to Indiana, who seems to respond back in a favorable way. "Bloods thicker than water," tis said.]

The camera cuts to a campus scene where Professor Jones, looking spiffy for a “teach,” is doing his thing, lecturing yawning students. The college dean informs him that he’ll have to take a paid leave, due to the awkward “anti-commie” mood in the country and the particular pale of suspicion Indiana was under. He decides to head East, but a motorcycle bearing a “ducktailed” hood was trying to get his attention. Indiana powwows with the young man who turns out the be “greaser” spinning his wheels–quit school. The lad has an envelope from his Mom (Karen Allen), who told him to get it to Indiana Jones. There was talk of the legend of the Crystal Skull. Indiana initially scoffs at the legend as “just a story,” but when the dude pops a letter from old Prof. Oxley, a close friend of Indiana’s, the plot thickens. Before you can say: National Treasure!, Indiana Jones has perceived that the letter is a message in the form of a riddle. However, the joy of anticipation is interrupted by a visitation from KGB brutes, and the two are off on the lad’s, Mutt Williams’ (Shia LaBeouf), “hog” in one lengthy chase. The KGB agents are eluded by engineering a brawl at the burger shop. With Indiana’s blood up for the adventure, the trip is on. The moviegoer sees the trip to Peru by means of several vintage planes. One bore the logo of the now defunct Pan American Airlines. After this, there are numerous tussles, chases and perils to overcome. Among the stand-outs in this regard is the absurd displacement of Mutt into a tree, where he is eyed curiously by a monkey, and then, prompted by “monkey see-monkey do,” begins to swing through the jungle on vines, trying to catch up with Indiana, Mom, Prof. Oxley, and the crystal skull Oxley carries close– like a babe. Not since Tarzan flicks were churned out, has there been so much fellowship between the two primate genuses. Still another memorable scene was the sword fight between Mutt and Irina, while standing on, and sometimes straddling, trucks careening along a jungle road. Thrilling, funny, slapstickish, and very engaging. In this movie the stunt men and women deserve as much praise as the actors, since the flick is so action-oriented and rather imaginative in choreography. It turns out that Mutt’s Mom is Indiana’s old lovergirl, Marion Ravenwood. This provides the opportunity for a lot of dumb kvetching about “water under the bridge” and fingerpointing. Furthermore, Indiana learns that the young ne’erdowell, Mutt, is his son. Say what! Mutt is pretty “cool” to the idea, once he sees that “teach” is pretty good with his fist. “You’re going back and finish college!” says Indiana. Meanwhile, the jibberjabbering Prof. Oxley seems to be “coming home to his head.” Not only do the good guys have to fight off the pursuing commies, but they are attacked by the army ants, and they tussle with poison dart-blowing aboriginal tribesmen. Their “hold card” is the crystal skull. Things just naturally respect its unfathomable power. Why? Don’t ask me. Something about the eyes, as I recall. After defying death in three significant drops from waterfalls, everything else is cake, I suppose. Meanwhile, the commies are dwindling down too. Soon, they find themselves at the sacred spot, where a pyramidal structure rises from the jungle boondocks. They hasten to its flattened top, where they spy a large rectangular structure with gargoyles sticking out. Naturally, Mom deduces from watching Prof. Oxley dithering about it that it’s “something.” She begins pulling at a gargoyle. Indiana, always a man of action, as well as of scholarly ways, grabs a stone and crushes it against one of the gargoyles. Sand begins pouring out. By knocking off a few more they initiated a structural transformation, setting forth levers, gears and the like. It’s quite an engineering project. Not too long thereafter they are schlepping down to the inner sanctum, looking for a headless figure. They were not at all surprised to find themselves in a sort of council room, surrounded by thirteen figures twelve of whom possessed crystal heads. Why? They had seen a “likeness clue” earlier and knew there were thirteen figures. Meanwhile, Mac, who had pretended to be a triple agent, was scooping up as much treasure as possible in a scene seen many times before. Irina shows up, too, after the Indian Jones party had replaced the crystal head on the crystal neck. She is intent on “knowing all.” Meanwhile, the thirteen figures suddenly merge and contract into a single crystal figure, which then transforms into a “classic visitor,” having a large head, hairless, large eyes, grayish-green skin color. He’s either 1) not all that kindly, or 2) a judge of character, who found Irina wanting. Whatever spin you want to put on the matter, he stared Irina into annihilation. The Visitor abruptly passes through a gateway, it closes, and before you can say–well–say Steven Spielberg, the thing the Visitor is in begins an ascent. It is apparent that it is a “flying saucer.” (Let’s hope it doesn’t fly over Tucson.) Meanwhile, the Indiana party is headed for safe ground. There is an epilog to this movie inwhich connubial bliss overcomes post-penetration departum.

AMERICAN CHRISTIANS: THE NEW PALESTINIANS?

What is the objective condition of Palestinians? They were victimized by superior military power and displaced from their lands of old, ending in a sort of reservation or concentration camp, where they are routinely victimized, while being blamed for transgressions.

Having had the “mask of villain” imposed upon their faces by Western media–almost as a playwright might impose villainous actions upon his antagonist, they find themselves and their religion routinely mocked in the same media, typically in the guise of “humor.” [Parenthetically, this is done by people who elsewhere beat the drums for "tolerance"--the new Masonic watchword which has been added to their other ludicrous watchwords of "liberty, equality and fraternity."]

Bogus Christians have been organized, plied with absurd doctrines that advance Zionism, and let loose to scream taughts at the pitifully injured and distressed Palestinians–many of whom are Christians, somewhat after the Shiites chanting with gleeful mocks, as Saddam Hussein was lynched in a procedure bearing the Federal U.S.’s nihil obstat. This comparison is meant to suggest the deep antipathy of bogus Christians and Shiites for these respective targets, but it is not meant to equate the targets, Palestinians and Saddam Hussein, respectively.

The entirety of the real policy of the Jewish state is to expropriate the property of all the Palestinians, sending them into their “natural” home of The Royal Kingdom of Jordan.

To justify this usurpation, Jews must defeat any enquiry into the question of whether or not they are even Israelites. This cannot be successfully done by intellectual argument upon the evidence, so Jews have organized “the world community” [typically by threatened economic injury] into passing a “snowballing” array of legislation which have the purpose of thwarting and punishing responsible academic investigation. The Western media being largely under Jewish control or economic influence, there is little chance of any meaningful enquiry from that source. Self-serving, tendentious articles don’t amount to “responsible reporting.”

By smoothing the way for corrupt Palestinian leadership to hold nominal sway under the watchdul guns of the Jews, the world is provided a suitable (though temporary) puppet for the “world community” to attend, proffering to this puppet the usual state protocol.

Frequent spokesperson for the “world community,” U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice typically applauds such movements as being on the “road map to peace.” Naturally, the U.S. president shares this view. What this road map really envisions is an autonomous Palestinian Reservation, under the benign oversight of the kindly Jewish state. Perhaps the Bush family will invest in a casino there, seeing the Palestinian Reservation as a future Las Vegas of the Levant.

If President George W. Bush and Secretary of State Rice envision a “road map to peace” between the gun-loving Jews of the State of Israel (sic) and the puppet Reservation of Palestine, is it not possible for them to bring the same combination of economic and martial pressure elsewhere, including the U.S.A.? If Mr. Bush and Ms. Rice can apply the same principle of “watchful gunfulness” to Bible-believing Christians, won’t a “new road map” result in the long-hoped-for callapse of Christianity itself? Will not the day be near when there will be slot machines in every church?

Far fetched? Maybe not. There are so few members of the Christian clergy at the Watch Tower that the only thing that most Christians are vigilant about is the opportunities for fun. Thankfully, the Rev. Ted Pike mans the Watch Tower still and shouts warnings to the frolicking Christians below. Apparently, he isn’t heard. Consider some matters that he finds compellingly dangerous.

“The State Department ‘Office of Global Anti-Semitism’ says the New Testament claim that the Jews had Christ crucified is ‘classical anti-Semitism’–a historic form of hate. It included as an ‘anti-Semitic incident’ the case of a Polish priest who said Jews killed Christ.”    [AMERICAN FREE PRESS, May 19, 2008, p.9, article by Rev. Ted Pike]

Office of Global Anti-Semitism? As Jews have solidified their power over the American political machinery, they have scattered throughout the major departments of government and agencies of government these “search and destroy” offices, whose sole purpose is to find and destroy opposition to Jewish hegemony on a global scale. The U.S. State Department probably has more than one. Great effort is made to create the image of an upper echelon staff there, which is pro-Arabian, which is Jewish slight of hand for anti-Jewish. This is a mask.

Another Jewish “search and destroy” office is found within the Department of Justice. It is the Office of Special Investigations (“OSI”), which was established in 1979 at the urging of Rep. Holtzman (NY) and other Jews. It is part of the Criminal Division of Justice. It’s first head was a Jew named Neal M. Sher, and he was assisted by a largely Jewish staff. It was created to hunt down Nazis. Recently, Mr. Eli Rosenbaum was appointed to head the OSI. His newly appointed “Principal Deputy” is Ronnie L. Edelman.

Parenthetically, as Michael Chertoff formerly was the head of the Criminal Division at Justice, prior to his appointment to a federal judgeship, followed by appointment to “Homeland Security,” he must have worked closely with these “Nazi hunters.” Since Nazis are getting scare due to natural mortality, and since federal police offices (and most any other federal office) don’t like to perish along with their reason to be, is it not possible that “far-out” Christians and other non-Jewish, “kookie” & “wacko” religions may not be coming into the gun sights soon?

Consider the attack on the religious family at Ruby Ridge, characterized by fedcop lies and “shoot’em-up.” Consider the holocaust of the David Koresh-led congregation at their compound at Waco, TX, which again is characterized by fedcop lies and “shoot’em up.” Lastly, consider the recent assault on the “polygamist” compound of the offshoot Mormon sect. This was inspired by a “sixteen year old girl” who became a phantom. The likelihood is that there never was such a girl, and “authorities” simply wanted a pretext to stop what they probably viewed as a thinly veiled sex cult, whose primary crime from the point of view of federal and Texas authorities was producing too many children. Don’t be surprised if they are shipped off to “foster” homes with lesbians and homosexuals–or even worse.

These types of goverment “search and destroy” missions always begin with groups that seem so different that the mass of people accept the actions as “OK,” not noticing the precedences that are being established which can later be applied to less different groups.

Jews are the Grand Masters of the world in police state operations. They operated all the diabolical policing machinery in the U.S.S.R, along with its concentration camps, which were truly “death camps.” Many disciple of these experts drifted over to the Jewish state or America, where they were welcomed and put to good use. President Bush appointed two such to advise federal agencies on “security” issues. The Israeli Mossad is legendary and operates freely in the U.S. There is advantageous cross-pollination between the Jewish state and its primary colony. 

Consider: “In the many countries now ruled by hate laws, it is already a federal offense to repeat the claim of New Testament ‘hate literature’ that the Jews had Christ crucified…The Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith–architect of hate laws worldwide (and primary ideological and statistics-gathering force behind the Office of Global Anti-Semitism)–is moving rapidly to create bias against Christians as haters, particularly of Jews and homosexuals.   [AMERICAN FREE PRESS, supra]

Now, throughout recorded history, in one country after the next, prominent and even great voices have denounced Jews as being full of hate or for hate-spewing. it is a peculiar characteristic of Jews that they consistently accuse others of committing the very crimes that Jews themselves commit. Hence, the Jews see a need to enact “hate crime laws”–not to curtail their own violent hatred of non-Jews but to keep the relatively few honest and intelligent voices left in the world from being able to publish–or even utter–the truths, facts, and evidences which they uncover.

For the same reason there is little doubt that Jews will gain control of every library in the world in which there are books that provide evidence that casts a negative light upon some aspect of Jewry, and steal, destroy or make permanently unavailable such books. In the past Jews have been suspected of burning down libraries. Even now, at the Library of Congress, some books seem “off limits” except to “designated scholars.” Further, if a Jewish-controlled Library of Congress offered to provide “copies,” offending sections may have been removed. All of these things would be done in the name of “decency.”

Parenthetically, many book stores are owned by Jews, and I personally suspect that these stores also act as “filters” by which “indexed” books can be found and removed from circulation by the store owner(s). Knowledge can be power. Why put loaded guns in the hands of children, reason “responsible” Jews.

Consider: “Despite passionate support of Israel by evangelicals, the ADL claims Christianity is inherently anti-Semitic. The ADL says the New Testament is the seedbed of suspicion and blame against Jews leading to the Holocaust of World War II. Televangelist John Hagee, recipient of numerous Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith awards, upholds ADL propaganda. He preaches that Jews did not reject or kill Christ, do not have to accept Him, and that New Testament Christianity is a primary source of anti-Semitism throughout the ages.”   [AMERICAN FREE PRESS, supra)

Although in Jewish-inspired, bowdlerized versions of the Bible, anything is possible, excepting the death and resurrection of Yahshua, in standard texts of New Testament Scripture, it is evident on numerous occasions that Yahshua thought that the Jews were trying to kill him. It is evident that Yahshua was first brought before the High Priests (Edomite Jews), who found him guilty of "capital offences," which warranted death according to their reading of the law. Roman law prohibited their executing Yahshua. Therefore, they sought Rome to be a proxy.

Furthermore, John Hagee and similar televangelists are on national television because they serve the interests of Jewry and serve to advance their agenda, not because Hagee, et al, serve the Most High and Yahshua. As with other "Christian Zionists," televangelists, and other intellectually misbegotten, John Hagee enjoys "third heaping platters" of food, apparently, thanks to the generous gifts from his friends in Jewry. It is too bad that John Hagee and his followers have decided to model themselves after Judas Iscariot, rather than Christ. If they had followed Christ's example, they'd have chased the "money changers" out of the Temple, rather than invite them in, discreetly accepting "bulging envelope donations," as the money changers filed in to set up shop.

John Hagee and his followers try to serve two masters, but everyone knows that the money changers are king with these people.

Duping the "wandering sheep of Israel" isn't a limited game. First, the shearing, then the slaughter. Consider:

"Bible believers aren't the only ones at risk. The State Department report also says it is anti-Semitic to: Allege 'intentionally or unintentionally' that the state of Israel (sic) persecutes Palestinians; criticize 'intentionally or unintentionally' Zionism or Israel if such criticism leads to lowering of public opinion of Jews or the government, military, or people of Israel; publish cartoons depicting the Israeli government and military as similar to Nazis; diminish the 6 million figure of holocaust dead in any amount; allege that Jews exert undue influence in Congress, the White House and the media; and/or allege that American Jews are equally loyal to Israel."   [AMERICAN FREE PRESS, supra]

Who would charge that Jews in America are equally loyal to the Israeli state? They are clearly biased in favor of the Jewish state. Vanunu informed the world of the Israeli state’s development of a nuclear bomb. He was shanghaied into the Jewish state, tried, and sentenced to a long stretch of incarceration. In time he became a Christian. His was and is a remarkable voice that was stifled. No Nobel Prize for Peacewill go to Mr. Vanunu. Yet, he wasn’t an American spy who betrayed the Jewish state. On the other hand the U.S.A. has seen numerous American Jews who spied in behalf of and to advance the Jewish state. Jonathon Pollard, the Navy-based Israeli spy, is a hero to many Jews throughpout the world. He’s probably a hero to “Christian” Zionists here in America.

This State Department report from its Office of Global Anti-Semitism is apparently a preliminary step to getting Congress to pass a “Hate Crime” Law (often with innocuous title), which embodies these concepts and undoubtedly other “nifty” ideas–if you’ll pardon my Orwellian touch.

That Jews do, in fact, have undue influence on the White House and especially the Congress is certain. The Bush administration is like an extension of the Israeli Likud Party. Congress is filled with members who turn to organized Jewry, as flowers turn to the sun. Over half the money donated to the Democrat Party comes from Jews. Jews have also begun to take command of the Republican Party in an open fashion. Jews frequently hold high party positions, regardless of political party in control. There, they operate to advance the ”Jewish world agenda.” They are heavily represented in the most influential areas affecting policy, such as committee staffs. Over half of the high appointees of the Clinton administration were Jews. At least one such appointee wasn’t even an American; he was Australian who had dual Israeli citizenship, and he was placed in an under-secretary position dealing with the Middle East at the State Department or DOD. As America is a de facto colony of World Jewry now, the necessity of a local governor does not carry absolute weight.

Even as Jews gather in increasing numbers at all the powerful position in government, media, entertainment, Wall Street, the Federal Reserve Board, and business, they piously lecture the world on “diversity.” On the outside they are veritible monuments of finest marble, and nobly crafted. Inside, like the Borg of Star Trek, they have consumed hundreds of cultures whose bones rot inside the lovely walls. 

The Rev. Ted Pike–and I–hope that this is not to be the fate of most Christians. We know it can’t happen to all of them. Why? It’s in the Book.

Note: Rev. Pike reminds us that Congress UNANIMOUSLY created this office of thought crimes disinformation in 2004. He ask that you cast your vote to end its influence: call your senators and representative toll-free at 1-877-851-6437. Tell them: “Please revoke funding for the State Department’s Office of Global Anti-Semitism. It does not represent scholarly research but the anti-Christian biases of the Anti-Defamation League.”

Christians, it’s time to stop being prodigal sons and come back to your Father. If you do not, your sons may not even have the life option to be either prodigal or righteous. It’s time to stop the Borg.

ISRAEL’S FINAL BONDAGE

As Israel and the 200,000 of Judah abandoned their bondage north of Assyria and moved–for the most part– westward to the relative freedom and security of the “Isles to the west” and of northwest Europe, they were stalked by the “children of Esau.” They were little noticed as the Edomite numbers initially were tiny.

These Edomites were like the scouting vanguard of Amalek. They were there to observe the movements and consider the short term opportunities, reporting back to more important elements. Trade possibilities were the primary consideration, as attack was out of the question, being too dangerous. As a matter of likely speculation, the first Edomite adventures in this direction were probably organized from established colonies which had served Edomite interests along the “silk road.” Petra had been a major depot of one branch of this “silk road,” which went all the way to various areas of China. The “road” had a number of branches that reached all the most favorable trade locations. Commerce thrived along this “road,” and Edom got more than its share.

“Edom appears to have been considered the richest of the Transjordanian tribes, Edom, Moab and Ammon, for Esarhadden, King of Assyria, is recorded as receiving from the provincial governors the following demanded tribute: Two mannas of gold from King Pudial of Ammon; One manna of gold from King Musuri of Moab; Twelve mannas of silver from King Qaush-gaber of Edom. In addition, Edom is recorded as having paid part of their tribute in “costly stones.”   [PETRA, E. Raymond Capt, M.A.,A.I.A.,F.S.A.,SCOT., page 22]

Now, in light of Edom’s substantial presence on the “silk road,” the presence of large amounts of silver are more than or passing interest. India was the premier spot to trade silver, as it’s demand there was relatively high relative to gold. The possibilities of arbitrage were great in trade with India. Certainly, India was a point on the “silk road” and was also reahable by Edomite ships plying the Red Sea toward the Indian Ocean. Edom undoubtedly set up colonial outposts all along the Coast of India for purposes of trade. These coastal colonies complimented the land-based colonies. Possession of large amounts of silver to use in this trade made good business sense. Furthermore, other kingdoms must have been aware of the Edomite wealth in silver. How else could “strongmen” kings such as Esarhadden of Assyria have made the tribute assignment that he in fact he made?

Although arrogant moderns may try to assign peasant-like ignorance to these ancient rulers, they had most certainly skilled “counters” fully able to do inventory and bookkeeping. Edom was known for wealth and its variety of wealth were understood. Its traders passed under the nose of the Assyrian kings, as they went along the “silk road” or branched off to smaller routes leading to other forms of trade. It is likely that the Assyrian king would also have been aware of Edomite fleet destinations to some extent. Hence, the form of tribute coincided with generally known kind, source and values of wealth.

Interestingly, the only group of identifiable people who are known to have a very large Edomite component are the Jews. Both Herod and Caiphas, for example, were Edomite Jews at the time of Yahshua, the messiah of Israel. why is this interesting? There are several reasons, but for purposes of connection and continuity in regard to Edomite traders, Jews are arguably the premier arbitrageurs of modern time. It is Jewish traders that made most of the famous European trading companies highly profitable, such as the Dutch East India Company and the British East India Company.

Now, as an example of Jewish metal trading and arbitrage, Jews were able to obtain silver from Iberia, where its relative value to gold was wide, due to relative demand, and use that silver for trade in India , where silver was much more in demand than in Iberia ansd where it was also relatively scare, obtaining the more common gold in India, which could then be taken back to Iberia and western Europe, where it was greatly valued.

Another example of Jewish arbitrageurs in operation is to found in the bountiful triangle of West African slaves, purchased with kegs of rum, the slaves traded or sold in the sugar-growing areas of the Caribbean for sugar cane, and the sugar cane then sold to rum refineries, such as were located in Nantucket and other American coastal areas. The finished rum could then be shipped in part to West Africa to buy more slaves. Many Jews–and non-Jews as well–got rich on the slave trade, but this little triangular trade was peculiarly in the hands of Edomite Jews.

I believe that there is a strong likelihood that Edomite Jews also attempted to trade for Indian slaves and raw cotton, using finished Britiah textiles. The Indian slaves would be traded in the Caribbean, while the raw cotton  and probably rum would be traded in Britain for finished textiles. When the Indian slaves proved to be inferior to African ones, this part of the trade died out.

Some may be offended by the inclusion of Jews in any skulldugery, but there is no doubt of their presence–and I believe substantial presence. After the British halted the West African slave trade, the rum distillers in the Nantucket area then attempted to sell the rum to American Indians for furs. Probably, people such as the Astors also tried to get furs by such devious and destructive ways.

So, there is every reason to suppose that the longstanding trading appetite of Edom, and later the Edomite Jews, would cause them to note the largescale and ongoing movement of the various groupings of displaced Israelites (whom Josephus described as “beyond counting”) into Europe. The Edomites had probably traded with various groupings of Israelites along the Crimean and Black seas, as well as further east. The “silk road” would have certainly meant Edomite encounters with Israelites. They were called by other names, such as Sacae, Saka (variant of Isaac), Ghomerian, Ghimmerians (variant of Omri, king of Israel) and other less obvious terms to people living today. Yet, it isn’t likely that the Edomites misunderstood. The Israelites were many, and their battle axes were always at the ready. The Edomite traders and colonies must have been rather modest in numbers.

“The Lord’s judgment upon the Esau-Edom-Idumean confederacy was seen in a vision of the Prophet Obadiah: ‘Thus saith the Lord God concerning Edom…Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised. The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee…that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

‘Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars [ed-palaces and highrise buildings?], thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord…’ “   [OBADIAH, 1:1-3, cited in PETRA, supra, p.110]

Therefore, if this prophet speaks truly, one can rightly infer that the Edomite strain in the world community would be decidedly modest. But is there any corroboration in our time that seems authoritative? There are almanacs and encyclopedia that suggests a historically small number, as well as various authors. Consider:

Indeed, but neither Roman Catholic nor Protestant clergy have that combination of reasoning ability, Christan morality, and basic honesty to state to their congregations the obvious truth: Jews don’t even have the primary marks of Israel. So, why treat them as if they were the “apple of God’s eye?” Little wonder did Yahshua and the Most High reference Israel as “sheep” in Holy Scripture. No one considers sheep to be smart animals. No one considers the modern congregations of Christians to be smart. Look at the televangelist, such as John Hagee and Kenneth Copeland, that they adore! They may develop astonishing computer software, but the “big picture” is totally muddled in their minds. Many are Baal-whorshippers or atheists, although still calling themselves Christians. They have no shepherds to keep them from wandering off.

Be that as it may, the Israelite people migrated westward in large numbers. They were free relatively. There were dangers aplenty–mostly from other Israelites. They did not necessarily recognize a brother. Further, they fought against one another in the “Land of Milk and Honey” rather often, so for them to do so now would hardly be unprecedented. The same behavior pattern would later be found as a constant in the European nations which they founded.

These people were corrupt in the Northern Kingdom. They paid little attention to obeying or even knowing Yahweh’s laws, rules and regulations while there. Why would anyone suppose that they had anything other than a rudimentary knowledge of the “ways of their fathers,” after long sojourn in northern Assyria? They may have forgotten the Most High, but the Most High had not forgotten them.

So the bulk of the Israelites were replanted to the west over a period of centuries. Some who tarried may have fallen under the fuedal control of Attila. Undoubtedly, individuals and even small groups of Israelites, whether called Scythians, or other name, fell into the control of Rome, where slavery was a lively trade. Here, Edomite Jews were well established in this trade. After Jerusalem fell to Titus, without doubt many Jews found their way to Rome. One can well imagine that revenge might lurk beneath a smiling “good guy” mask. Others may have fallen under the control of the Chazars, who established a heathen empire of great size in southern Russia. These Chazars were to convert to Judaism. Many Rabbinic teachers would move there, where they were honored personages. These rabbis would establish schools and synagogues. A caghan (king) of the Chazars had once written to a very prominent Sephardic Jew in Iberia, named Shaprut, that the legend of his people included a descent from Mount Seir (Edom). As the Sephardic Jews undoubtedly were Edom- blooded, at least for the most part, this information must have aroused mixed feelings, as Jews have strongly tried to hide the fact of Edomite blood in many, if not most.

 When Chazaria fell to the combined pressures from wild nomadic invaders from the East and from assaults upon the empire from the Rus in the north of Russia, the Ashkenasic Jews of Eurasia were born and replanted in the Ukraine and Poland. This was not necessarily a welcomed event, as the Chazarian empire had held the Slavs as tribute-paying, mostly farming people. Jewry has rarely shown much respect for farmers or farming, although commodities are always useful to trade.

Always, it seems, from the day of the womb to present time, the Most High has willed that these two vary different natures, Jacob-Israel and Esau, would be brought into proximity and would strife with one another. And now we find the Israelite people in northern Europe and the Isles of the west, surrounded by Edomite populations of Ashkenasic Jews to their east and Sephardic children of Esau to the south in Moorish Iberian and in relative prominence in France , Italy, and Romania. In France they appear to have concocted the Merovingian legend, probably buying a drunken brute of a Germanic tool named Merovee. For the Pharisaic Jews have been ever implacable foes of Christianity, and Jewish encyclopedia declare that all modern Jews are descended only from the Pharisees and their doctrines.

It is likely that Jews had a guiding hand in the development of heresies such as the Cathars and Albigensians, simply because any alliance by a minority such as Jews against the power of Rome and its version of Christianity would probably be welcomed. Further,  a casual perusal of certain areas of the Talmud revealed a rather libertine attitude toward such subjects as sodomy with boys and pederasty generally. It is not necessary for there to be universal rabbinic approval for this liberal attitude to grant support to other “minorities.”

Additionally, if the Jewish connection to the Merovingian legend is plausible, it follows that its connection to the Knights Templar and Rosicrucians is plausible. The Rosicrucians must be related to Jewry through the Jewish cabala and the alchemist movement which issued from it. This was so “hush-hush” at one time that it most likely cost the English playwright, Christopher Marlowe, his life.

As for the Knights Templar, they seem to have been instigated by Merovingians. They were for about one hundred years a tiny population of knights and so poor that one of their ensigns bore two men on a horse, as they were too poor to both have horses. Without going deeply into the origins, they were dwelling and soldiering in Jerusalem and the near levantine area. Rumors of gold being discovered in a chamber buried under the Temple Mount arose. Rumors of it being shipped west to southern France. There are clues, fragments of evidence, and the like.

What is known for certain is that the Knights Templar grew into an immensely powerful society. This group established a banking system (the first central bank prototype?) that spanned Europe. The sophistication of the system grew. The power that accompanies money accrued to such an extent that the Vatican conspired to crush this rival.

The question arises: how did a group of poorly educated knights, whose training was with sword and mace, bow and arrow, developed the financial acumen to conceive and implement an extremely successful, multi-kingdom banking system? I submit that Edomite Jews, who had long experience in trade, shipping, smuggling, money handling, money changing, and usury, are the most likely guiding hands. I submit that they were the financial gurus who devised the banking scheme. I further speculate that this may have been partially in the back of their minds when the Merovingian legend was created.

Further, although the Roman Catholic Church may be castigated for crushing the Knights Templar, it may have been taking steps to pre-empt the Knights Templar from destroying the Vatican. Today, this is defended by American and Jewish leaders as “preventive defensive action.” In short, one attacks another without clear cause, attributing the malign intentions of the target as justification. Yet, the Roman Catholic Church is treated similarly to the treatment that establishment historians accord to the Hitlerian regime’s attack on the massing forces and relentless provocations east of the German “border.” When anyone feels threatened, dangerous behavior by them is more likely. Yet, if the stakes seem worth the risk, such behavior often follows.

The fact that the Knights Templar went underground is made evident by their symbols on gravestones over time. A secret society thrives in clandestine ways and means. If the opportunity for revenge arose, they would seek it against their hated antagonist, Rome. The Protestant Reformation allowed that opportunity, as well as the opportunity to be “born again.” By carefully assisting the Reformation, the Knights Templar received a welcome mat, as did Jews. After all, Martin Luther was initially very positive toward Jewry, as Jews were perceived as Israel and persecuted by corrupt, barely Christian Rome. In fact as the Gutenberg Bible became widely distributed and studied, some began to see the “scarlet harlot” as the papacy.

Enter the Jesuits for a Counter-Reformation assault on Protestant “error.” The interesting thing here is the allegation that there were a number of Jews who surrounded its founder. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus, was a knight prior to his forming his Jesuit society. This is also interesting, as he may have been clandestinely attached to the Knights Templar.

The Jewish/Knights Templar connection to both Roman Catholicism and Protestantism is both interesting and diabolical. It would aid in preventing reconciliation on the one hand, and on the other help to set the circumstances in motion which–ideally–might lead to mutual extinction: A world without Christians. For the Jews, who viewed Christianity as idol-worship, extinction would accord to their doctrine of “Tikkun olam” (“Repair of the world”). The engineering of strife amongst Christians has hardly “let up” since the Reformation, and it was probably and offshoot of Black Friday, the 13th of October, around 1307 A.D., when the Vatican moved against the Knights Templar in France and elsewhere.

The gradual development of Freemasonry in Europe, and especially England and Scotland, seems to have been a “passing of the baton” by which the Knights Templar and its Jewish connection could safely and respectfully operate. The Grand Lodge of London came to view itself as the “Mother Lodge” to which other Masonic lodges are obedient (at least Grand Lodges). Indeed, I have likened it to the “Mother of all Harlots.” There has been a declaration made that at the time of its formation in 1717, or thereabouts, there were many Jews present. Certainly, rabbis have claimed that its symbology is Jewish (they may mean Israelite, as they claim this kinship, as opposed to Edomite). One of the big distinctions between this lodge of 1717 and the early lodges is that this new one proclaims that it has no religious flavor other than being all-inclusive under the Great Architect. Early masonic lodges were forthrightly Christian organizations, albeit Protestant.

What is unique about the Grand Lodges is that provide a “Trojan horse” machinery into any nation that will allow it establisment; neither Hitler nor Mussolini allowed it–further reasons to attack them by Masonic nations, such as France, England and the United States. The neat thing about the Masonic Lodges is that members who looked exactly like the other citizens could be inducted, indoctrinated, and sent forth to be “agents of change.” I believe that that is precisely what has happened over the years to create a liberal agenda (may be described by pundits as “conservative”) by which to transform all societies into something essentially generic and easily controlled. Just ask yourself: How would I go about “repairing the world?” One person can’t do it. Yet, a pyramidal structure will allow a few to control a vast number. If the top of the pyramid is hidden from view (see our US$1.00 bill), then exactly who is really in control becomes a mystery.

This brings us back to the sheep of Yahshua. They have for the most part in Europe and America escaped the bondage of their fathers. Will that continue? Islam attacked from the south of Europe out of Iberia and from the east, out of Turkey. But the formal hostility of invasion is no longer necessary to conquer either Europe or America. Neither has control of its borders nor cares too much about who enters nor in what numbers they enter. The idioms of Freemasonry prevail, so that few European nations produce enough of their own kind to do all the tedious occupations required. This is a great opportunity for the “preachers of few children” to now promote massive immigration from very different nations. They do the work that native born Americans no longer are willing to do. This is typically due to the low pay and/or scarcity of workers.

Naturally, there are no Roman Catholic nor Protestant clergy demanding that a laborer be paid what his labor is worth–not to Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, David Rockefeller, or Donald Graham–but to society generally. Every worker should have a pay sufficient to pay for a decent room, decent food, reasonable transportation, clothing and medical care. This cannot ever be achieved in a Jewish political economy, which operates on the principle of debt. In a Jewish system a praiseworthy man or woman is one who has a good credit rating. This is the present American system. Jews/Knights Templar/Freemasons are the “great architects” of this system. It is NOT the U.S. Constitutional system, which only exists in a perverted and grotesque image, somewhat after the fashion by which the “Picture of Dorian Gray” resembled at the end of that movie the same picture at the outset.

Weirdly, Protestant clergy do everything in their power to advance Jewry in its errors. This includes the enslavement of Israel (the Celto-Germanic people), if Jewry feels that it is for the best, as it might “raise consciousness levels” necessary to “repair the world.” Or the complete genocide of these people as “hopeless idol worshippers.” This becomes easier, as vast numbers of very different people arrive and begin to promptly blame “white” people for everything from “improper attitude” to “racism.” They, of course, come to the country without fault. Soon, they are claiming that they do all the work, and America rightfully belongs to them. They are “fast-forwarded” into leadership positions. International businesses soon incorporate bilingual and multilingual telephone service, movies, newspapers, and television. Schools express a desire not to teach English literature, as it’s viewed as  ”racist.” Legislators at federal and state levels hasten to pass laws prohibiting “speaking the truth,” as such comments “disturb the peace.” The FBI soon keeps dossiers on “white people” who speak the truth. The Anti-Defamation League of B’Nai B’Rith offers to assist the FBI, which assistance is gladly accepted, as the ADL has so much experience. Afraid?

Not to worry! Some learned Jews already have a longstanding plan: a massive “Moonie” marriage ceremony, where every race will be married to another race. Net result for Edom: the death of Jacob-Israel. Then can Esau’s seed claim their rightful heritage of the “Promises” and the “Birthright,” which they lost years ago to the trickery of Jacob. How many years have the Edomite Jews stalked Israel-Christian to accomplish this basic need: primogeniture?

Indeed! No wonder the Bible references this period as the “Time of Jacob’s Trouble.” Strangers will rule over Israel. Strangers will be lifted very high, while Israel is pushed low. Only when Israel remembers its covenant and its Lord will the beginning of the end of the final bondage be possible. Until then: Trouble, trouble, toil and trouble. But, as with the prophetic tale of Cinderella, the time of hardship must end, rescued by the Prince of Peace. The pretenders will be found wanting. The Kingdom is at hand, but not all will find a place there.

HAROLD AND KUMAR 2: A REVIEW

HAROLD & kUMAR ESCAPE FROM GUANTANAMO BAY (2008)

This is a second comedic adventure for this odd couple. I believe that they borrowed from Neil Simon to “create” this duo’s chemistry. Obviously, writers Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg fall quite short of Mr. Simon. Incidentally, they borrow from several well-known movies to juryrig this story. Although there are romantically throbbing hearts which propel the lads and give them motivation, whatever legitimate storyline that this director-writer team had conceived is buried under the crudeness and sexploitation which inform this film from beginning to end.

The film is racist from several angles. The chief recipients of “hate-crime” verbiage are the “white people” (portrayed typically as idiots, animals, perverts, sluts, devious “users” and dopers). Nevertheless, as the “heroes” of this flick have a taste for “white meat,” when it comes to women, their hearts beat for “whitey” (and usually vice-versa). It’s that egghead thing, doncha know? Both heroes possess levitated intellects (is it the dope?), which even a guru would envy.

Black folks don’t come off too much better. In their case it is usually misunderstanding. Guys playing basketball in the street would normally be perceived by eggheads as threatening, right? And give a black guy a government job, and he immediately shows “attitude.” Our heroes aren’t going to take that sitting down, right? The writers, Hurwitz & Schlossberg, saved the most degrading lingo toward blacks to be uttered by Neil Patrick Harris, who played the half-loony-on-drugs character, Neil Patrick Harris.

Now, it is true that some racist verbiage was put forth by white characters, but their standing as respectable people doesn’t exist in the flick. Therefore, their comments were virtually ineluctable elements of their individual, retrograde natures. Dogs bark–it’s their nature. One can’t expect otherwise. One might even mention that one “human” was a genetically misbegotten child, bearing a single, large eye–the cyclops embodiment. The cause for this “freak of nature?” Sibling mating by white “crackers.”

The story summary: College eggheads decide to go to Amsterdam to seek Harold’s heartthrob, although the relationship isn’t too developed. In fact It may be better developed in his fantasy world–but that’s good enough! Harold isn’t the only dreamer; Kumar, finally ready to enter medical school, can’t really get excited at the thought of carving on dead people. What his problem? He really like Vanessa, who nearly raped him in the library on the occasion of their initial meeting, but who is now engaged to marry a young Texan who is acquainted with President George W. Bush, and whose career is even more promising than that of a doctor. The comedic heroes grab a plane to Amsterdam, become suspected of being terrorists, are returned to the U.S.A. for intimidation & debriefing, then sent to Guantanamo to reside indefinitely at the “GITMO Hilton.” At the “Hilton” they meet zany Arab prisoners, as well as large white brutes who are into homosexual entertainment of a non-voluntary kind. They have an opportunity to split–and take it. Now, they are fugitives. They hitch a ride with Cubans sailing for Florida. They know someone from college days who lives in Miami, and they head to his posh pad where he “parties” (semi-nudest colony), and where they get help. As this includes “wheels” and “Miami Fly” duds, they are ready to hit the road in style. Of course, they have no I.D.s, etc. What’s up? They are going to seek the help of the college chum marrying Vanessa, who also knows the Prez. How will they buy gasoline to get to Texas from Miami? (Shut up! Don’t be so nosey!) This leads to various episodes through the “Southland.” Naturally, “Bambis”, gun-toting rednecks, and Klu Klux Klansmen “pop up” like—like–stale popcorn. Everything is borrowed from older films and played for “humor” of a disgusting sort, such as being urinated on. ( No people! We are not talking about “family movie” here.) They injure their car trying to escape imagined, angry Blacks (actually trying to help), and flee on foot. Homeland Security secretary, “Ron Fox” (Rob Corddry), operating at vendetta-style motivation and angered ever since learning of Harold & Kumar’s escape from the “GITMO Hilton,” is at Birmingham in a flash, checking out the car and abusing the Black folks who are handy. The lovestruck lads manage to get nabbed, are put aboard a plane for Cuba, execute another escape, using a parachute, and fall through the roof of the home of President Bush. (No, Secret Service didn’t notice.) Being eggheads, they quickly deduced that they were in the home of George W. Bush, which was made “a snap” by the numerous family photos on the mantel of the large fireplace. Soon, The Prez arrives, they all smoke dope, laugh it up, and get to tell their story to Mr. BIG. Soon, Vanessa and Kumar are meeting again, as Vanessa sought hidden reefers. Vanessa isn’t too sure of her feelings for the weasel, “Colton” (Eric Winter), and–and–suddenly Kumar, was standing beside her! Like MJ, Kumar filled a deep need within her. However, when things go amiss “bigtime,” only The Prez can help. He does. At the wedding, Kumar (Penn) gets to mathematically explain why he and Vanessa should be ONE, and Vanessa smiles agreeably. Relieved of all legal burdens, Harold, Kumar an Vanessa head for Amsterdam, where Harold’s hearthrob, Maria, is whiling away her days. Naturally, by using a crude sketch, they imagine that they will be able to easily locate Maria. When things look bad, there she is over Harold’s shoulder through the window. But whose the guy?  The threesome plunge forward where Maria is with the gent. It’s all a mistake, folks! She’s just acting in a movie, which is something no one else in Harold and Kumar are doing. Is it porno? Well, they have clothes on at this point. Hardly a moment goes by before Harold and Maria are kissing, and the actor and the cameraman are too. It’s that kind of film, folks. It seems to end happily for Harold, Maria, Kumar, and Vanessa. And that’s all folks!

Now, having given you the bare-bones story, let me mention a list of things that you can expect to see in this film: 1) Kumar on the toilet making quite a bit of racket; 2) relentless references to dope; 3) people being urinated on; 4) a plethora of young, naked women strolling around at a party; 5) male frontal nudity; 6) naked male rears; 7) prison sexual doings; deer slaying; 9) encounter with a cyclopic young female (makes sounds sort of like a porpoise); 10) Klu Klux Klan “cross-burning”; 11) women making out; 12) men making out; and 13) The Prez hiding from Dick Cheney. This is not a complete list, and my description does not really catch the relentless crudeness of the film.

The films defenders will likely say that it was all a big joke–didn’t you get it? Nope! I didn’t. And whatever it was, it wasn’t well done.

On the positive side the movie goes to great effort to get a laugh, using satire, slapstick, and adolescent snickering style to color the movie. Something in this film will strike many people as amusing. You must ask yourself: Is one in a million worth the effort?

I definitely should mention that the movie opens with a vocal by Louis Armstrong singing, “What A Wonderful World.” Nice. Thanks Satchmo!
