The Wrath of God
Enki and Enlil
http://www.halexandria.org/dward060.htm
According to the ancient Sumerian texts, the Sumerian god,
Anu, the “supreme Lord of the Sky”, the currently reigning titular head of the Sumerian Family Tree, had two sons.
They were Enki (Ea), Lord of the Earth and Waters (whose mother was Antu),
and Enlil (Ilu), (the God of the Old Testament), Lord of the Air and Lord of the Command (whose mother was Ki).
These two half-brothers -- surprise, surprise -- did not get along.

Critical to their rivalry -- particularly from Earth’s viewpoint -- was the fact that Enki had been the first of the Anunnaki to hazard a trip to Earth to begin a mining operation for gold. When this effort did not apparently produce gold in sufficient quantities, Enlil was brought in, given command, and armed with a new plan (an early version of the New Deal). The revised program was to mine gold from deep mines in the Earth.
According to Sumerian texts (as detailed in Genesis of the Grail Kings [1]), during a visit by their father, Anu (the archetypal absentee landlord), the Anunnaki made a decision:
“The gods had clasped their hands together,
Had cast lots and had divided.
Anu then went up to heaven.
To Enlil the Earth was made subject.
The seas, enclosed as with a loop,
They had given to Enki, the Prince of Earth.”
Sounds fair. However. As Laurence Gardner points out: “Enki was not happy about his brother’s promotion because, although Enlil was the elder of the two, his mother (Ki) was Anu’s junior sister, whereas Enki’s mother (Antu) was the senior sister. True kingship, claimed Enki, progressed as a matrilineal institution through the female line, and by this right of descent Enki maintained that he was the first born of the royal succession.”
“I am the great brother of the gods.
I am he who has been born as the first son of the divine Anu.”
If there is a philosophy of Enki, it manifests and explains itself in early Mesopotamian and Egyptian thought, where the true creator of the universe was manifest within nature, and that nature enveloped both the Anunnaki, and the humans. Nature, as the Great Mother, was still supreme, despite any patriarchal scheme to the contrary. Admittedly, Enki’s claim of his birthright, the one being based on a matrilineal succession -- essentially the mitochondria DNA link, which is wholly passed through the female line -- was in Enki’s best interests. But Enki was also the maternal grandfather who came to the aid of Inanna when things went badly during her Descent into the Underworld.
With the arrival of Enlil, however, who in his best interests must demean the matriarchal line of succession, and thus nature itself -- everything changed. The Great Mother was dethroned and replaced by a supreme male (as opposed to a male consort for the Queen). The idea of cooperation -- as exemplified by the council of Anunnaki making cooperative decisions -- was quickly replaced by competition, and harmony was forsaken in favor of subservience. The supreme god became abstract, and any physical connection with human or nature was lost -- and thus the link between nature and human also destroyed. When Enlil hit town, there was a whole new deal put into effect.
According to Laurence Gardner [1], “The dominant tenet of the new thought was based wholly on the utmost fear of Enlil, who was known to have instigated the great Flood [or else acquiesced in not warning the humans, or making any attempt to save them], and to have facilitated the invasion and destruction of civilized Sumer. Here was a deity who spared no mercy for those who did not comply with his dictatorial authority.
“Abraham had experienced the vengeful Enlil first hand at the fall of Ur, and he was not about to take any chances with his own survival. He was even prepared to sacrifice the life of his young son, Isaac, to appease the implacable God (Genesis 32:9).” “The oriental scholar Henri Frankfort summarized the situation by making the point that... ‘Those who served Jehovah must forego the richness, the fulfillment, and the consolation of a life which moves in tune with the great rhythms of the earth and sky.”
Bramley [3] has noted that, “We therefore find Ea [Enki] as the reputed culprit who tried to teach early man (Adam) the way to spiritual freedom. This suggests that Ea intended his creation, Homo sapiens, to be suited for Earth labor, but at some point he changed his mind about using spiritual enslavement as a means.”
From a Biblical perspective, it was Enki who (with the critical assistance of his half-sister, Ninki, aka Nin-khursag) created Adam and Eve.
It was Enlil, on the other hand, who created “Edin”.
Enki was the serpent in the garden, who urged Adam and Eve to eat of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (which was infinitely beneficial to their spiritual growth).
It was Enlil, who drove them out of Edin, while Enki was there to clothe them.
It is worth noting that Zecharia Sitchin [2] claims that the biblical word for “snake” is nahash, which comes from the root word NHSH, and which means “to decipher, to find out.” In other words, Enki, the God of Wisdom.
In the time of Noah, it was Enlil who either created the Great Deluge / Flood as a means of wiping out mankind (because they supposedly made too much noise), or else refused to warn the humans or do anything to save them or help them to save themselves. Enki, on the other hand, apparently against orders of the Anunnaki (who Enlil now controlled), provided the boat plans for Noah to build his Ark, and thus save him, his family (and likely a fair number of helpful artisans and their families). Enki included as well the seed of other living things (a “natural” kind of thing to do).
In the Sumerian texts, we have the stories of Enki and Enlil, and for the most part there is portions devoted to each. But in Genesis, Enlil seemingly reigns supreme. Enlil knew early on, that a pound of good Public Relations effort is worth a ton of truth.
Abraham and his descendants served Enlil, and followed his precepts. / Enlil the God of the Old Testament.
The Egyptians, on the other hand, were Enki’s protégés, and based on food management practices during the devastating droughts around the time of Jacob and Joseph, were doing a lot better than Enlil’s followers. Obviously Noah backed the right horse in that Enki shared boat plans with the righteous fellow -- whom Enlil later claimed as his own.
But at one point, circa 2000 B.C.E., all hell broke loose. In an all out war of Enki’s humans against Enlil’s humans -- complete with all manner of diplomatic subterfuge in the mix -- Sodom and Gomorrah took the brunt of the action and were destroyed. By nuclear weaponry! They were A-bombed. The decision for this, however, was not, as you might have expected, due to Enlil’s instigation. Instead, it was due to the actions of his sons, Ninurta and Ningal. The (radioactive) fallout of their actions then resulted in the final destruction of the Sumerian civilization (circa 2000 B.C.E.). Curiously, this event in the Annals of Earth turned out to be something of a Waterloo for Enlil. Not that the guy (dba “God”) fled the scene, but thereafter, the idea of unilateral actions was a bit more constrained. Enlil was no longer the undisputed Lord of the Command among his peers.
Which might be just as well. As Laurence Gardner [1] phrased it: “This muddled and unparalleled concept of Jehovah being right when he was wrong, honest when he was dishonest, was born out of an inherent fear of his vengeful power and unbounded wrath. Whether as Jehovah (in Genesis) or as Enlil (in Mesopotamian record) it was he who had instigated the Semitic invasions which led to the ‘confusion of tongues’ and the fall of Sumer. It was he who had brought about the devastating Flood, and it was he who had leveled the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah -- not because of their wickedness, as related in Genesis (18-19), but because of the wisdom and insight of their inhabitants, as depicted in the Coptic Paraphrase of Shem. It was Jehovah who had removed the Israelites from their homeland and sending them into seventy years of captivity by King Nebuchadnezzar II and his five Babylonian successors down to King Belshazzer (545-539 BC).”
This latter event is critical as another turning point in the Enki and Enlil warfare, as it reflects a time, circa 600 B.C.E., when Enlil was stepping back from the overt control of Earth. (A fact which does not necessarily imply stepping back from covert control!)
Zecharia Sitchin [2] has taken a different, decidedly pro-Jehovah, pro-Enlil approach in his writings. While admitting to the complicity of Enlil’s sons in the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Sitchin tends to blame the female (i.e. Inanna) for seducing King Shulgi of Ur (and thus destroying a once thriving civilization). Sitchin also charges Enki’s son, Marduk, who became the Babylonian god, with being perhaps the prime culprit of all the bad news that was extant in what Sitchin refers to as “The Fateful Century” (2123 - 2023). At one point in his book, The Wars of God and Men, Sitchin writes: “There was great jubilation in the land when the great temple was rededicated to Enlil and Ninlil [Enlil’s wife], in the year 1953 B.C.E.; it was only then that the cities of Sumer and Akkad were officially declared habitable again.”
And just guess who was responsible for their being uninhabitable in the first place!?
To appreciate the continuing sage of Enki versus Enlil, it is instructive to note their place in the Sumerian Family Tree, aka the “Grand Assembly of the Anunnaki”.
Marduk (who would become the god of the Babylonians) was Enki’s first born, and that of Enki’s wife, the goddess Damkina. Enki’s other wife was his half-sister, Nin-khursag (meaning “Mountain Queen”), the Lady of Life, also known as Nin-mah, the Great Lady.
Enlil was also espoused to Nin-khursag and their son was Ninurta (Ningirsu), the Mighty Hunter. By another wife, Ninlil (Sud), Enlil had a second son, Nanna (Suen), known as the Bright One. Nanna and his wife, Ningal, were the parents of Inanna (who was called Ishtar by the Babylonians), and who married the Shepherd King Dumu-zi (the latter given in the Semitic Old Testament book of Ezekiel 8:14 as Tammuz).
Another son of Enlil and Ninlil was Nergal (Meslamtaea), King of the Underworld. He married Eresh-kigal, the Queen of the Netherworld, the daughter of Nanna and Ningal (i.e. Inanna’s sister), and the mother of Lilith (who became handmaiden to Inanna, her maternal aunt). Lilith is also notorious as the first wife of Adam, but it was Lilith who rejected him (and thus incurred the wrath of every reject-worthy male on the planet).
By some accounts, Inanna was also the granddaughter of Enki (as well as Enlil). This strange situation was critical in Inanna’s classic tale of her Descent into the Underworld. (I.e. Enlil turned a blind eye, while Enki saved Inanna’s lovely little fanny.) Even more crucial to the plot was the fact that Inanna was also a favorite of the supreme Anu. Thus she was never, never at a loss as to what she thought she could do and get away with. Her story has been well told two books by Susan Ferguson: Inanna Returns and Inanna, Hyperluminal. (Ms. Ferguson does include Enki’s son, Marduk, as the bad guy, but on the other hand, keeps Enki as a favorite. She can do that. It’s her books.)
Speaking of Marduk, not only was he the arch-enemy of Inanna (thus explaining Susan’s plotting), but Marduk thoroughly angered just about everyone about him. Even his father, Enki, must have wondered where he went wrong in raising his first son -- a question not uncommon to any father. At the same time, it must be admitted, Marduk was without question a serious pain in the rear (and elsewhere) for Enlil, and thus Enki might have had moments of genuine pride.
Just as Enki may have been given temporary, overt control over the Earth during the Age of Pisces, Marduk, who was identified with the planet Mars, and thus the astrological sign of Aries, had assumed he would be in charge during the Age of Aries. Depending on the time allotted to each sign -- whether it is 1/12th, or more likely the actual time spent in the sign -- Marduk’s Age of Aries likely ran from roughly 2,000 B.C.E. to about 600 B.C.E. This was his time, therefore, and The Wars of Gods and Men told by Sitchin was in large part Marduk’s attempts to wrest control from Enlil, and the Anunnaki who supported the latter. The fact that it became a very messy war was not necessarily Marduk’s fault.
For the fact remains that, circa 1950 B.C.E., after Enlil’s son, Ninurta, had failed to rally the Anunnaki troops on his own behalf -- and thoroughly bombed on his venture to Sodom and Gomorrah -- Marduk finally got his chance.
“Lord Anu, lord of the gods who from Heaven came to Earth,
and Enlil, lord of Heaven and Earth
who determines the destinies of the land,
Determined for Marduk, the firstborn of Enki,
the Enlil-functions over all mankind;
Made him great among the gods who watch and see,
Called Babylon by name to be exalted, made it supreme in the world;
And established for Marduk, in its midst, an everlasting kingship.”
Marduk, from Babylon, ultimately took vengeance on the Enlil supporters known as the Hebrews, who had opposed Marduk’s reign, and they thereafter spent seventy years in captivity. During this time, Enlil never raised a hand to assist them. In Enlil’s view, they were quite expendable. Obviously, someone -- unlike their ancestral patriarch, Noah, had failed to back the right horse.
For sometime (i.e. the Age of Aries), Marduk took over Enlil’s subjugation of the humans -- politics of the slavery kind made strange bedfellows. But the Age of Aries (unlike the Age of Pisces) was mercifully short. And it had the decided advantage of prepping the Anunnaki for Enki’s take over about 600 B.C.E., when the Age of Pisces began.

The History of the Wrath of GOD
Alexander the Great, 356 - 323 BC.
He is referred to in encyclopedias as the conqueror of the Persian Empire and probably the world's greatest military leader of all time personifies the kind of story book hero that does not exist on Earth today. A deep thinker, strategist and great leader of men. In a short space of twelve years, Alexander conquered virtually all of the known world as he marched his army of 40, 000 men from west to east; invading cities and villages one by one, often killing all the men, women and children, or saving the women and children but selling them into slavery. He plundered the wealth of the cities, royal treasuries and took all their booty. After overpowering the cities, he often burnt them to the ground. Those who obeyed him were rewarded with unspoken treasures, while those who resisted him were brutally murdered.
Prisoners of war were either released or murdered, all depending on his mood on that particular day. The global population at this time was estimated to be around 100 million and much of this eventually fell under the rule of Alexander the Great. This great leader of men was also known to have killed his father Philip II, a number of members of his army who disagreed with his judgment and even his close friend and confidant whose advice conflicted with that of the great Alexander. This man went so far as to declare himself a ‘god’, believing that he was above mere mortals and the son of the great Zeus, god of gods. Where does this potential for violence, oppression and punishment come from? Are we merely imitating something or someone from days gone by? Someone who was instrumental in controlling the formative years after our creation?
If you look at the history of Humankind all the way back to the days of Adam, Cain and Abel, it is one long horrific tale of betrayal, murder, warfare, oppression, rape and pillage, jealousy, envy, greed and continuous unspeakable horror inflicted by man on his fellow man. But the passage of time has a strange way of smoothing out the terrible truths of the past. Time has the ability to somehow legitimize the horrors committed in days gone by. History books have a tendency to glorify some of the acts of past leaders, when in reality they should be condemned by latter generations. Alexander was just one such ‘great’ warring hero of the distant past. There were many others and most of them are revered as great historical leaders, forever

imprinted in our memories. In truth, they were just insatiable, power-hungry thugs who used their influence and wealth to accumulate more and more. Attila the Hun is another great leader of the past who is described somewhat differently by historians. Why is that? Because he did not have an empire before he started to invade and rule other kingdoms? Because his tribe was described as nomadic? He was just doing what all the other kings were doing, expanding his territory by force. This is how a historian by the name of Rit Nosotro writes about Attila. “Attila the Hun has been known as a ruthless barbarian, fierce and uncivilized. The devastation that he delivered to his enemies and the terror that he instilled in them during his lifetime caused him to become known as
‘The Scourge of God’.
While most people see Attila as being just a ferocious warrior, the more obscure side of him shows us that he was also a great king, possessing great leadership abilities and management skills. Attila the Hun was born in approximately 406 AD to the ruling Hun family, his uncle being the king. Although we do not know much about Attila's childhood other than that he was taught to ride a horse, shoot a bow, and fight in hand-to-hand combat at a very young age. By his late teens, he was leading the Huns in merciless battle against their enemies, the Visigoths. He pillaged numerous towns causing utter devastation. No one could match him in battle, and by his thirties, he was the Huns' leading commander. Before Attila's time, the Huns were a nomadic, barbarian race. They came from Asia and first reached the outskirts of the Roman Empire in the late 4th century. The Huns conquered the barbarian Ostrogoths and drove back the Visigoths.
The Eastern Roman Empire was threatened by these vicious Huns until 418 when Rome and the Huns negotiated peace terms. To secure peace, important persons, such as the young Attila, were exchanged as hostages between the Romans and the Huns. During Attila's two years in Rome, he was awed by the grandeur of the Empire. Upon his return home, he vowed to someday go back to Rome not as a hostage, but as a conqueror.” Why is Attila seen as a ruthless barbarian, while Alexander was ‘great’, and the Romans were imperial and ‘civilized’? It almost feels as if we are legitimizing their individual rights to conquer others, based on their socio-economic status. Because Alexander was the king of a wealthy empire he was allowed to invade and destroy. But because Attila was the leader of a lowly group of bandits, he should not possess such privileges. So what makes us in the 21st century so captivated by these warring heroes of the past? Do we not have heroes like this in the modern world? Or how long do we have to wait for
5
some of the more recent potential candidates for ‘great military leader’ status, to be so recognized and decorated? Alexander conquered the world in the name of Macedonia, while Julius Caesar conquered the world some 300 years later in the name of the Roman Empire. The war stories go on. But still they are ‘great’ leaders of the past. Just recently we had a great military leader who tried to conquer the world and in the process got very close to doing so. He had the full fanatical support of his people just like Alexander did; his followers all believed that they should conquer the world; he was admired by them as a great leader of men; a great strategist and someone they would follow to the end of the world in battle. He mobilized his well-trained and well-equipped army, killing many in the name of his empire, he wiped out cities and villages as part of his expansion plan, he occupied new lands and countries, declaring them part of the new empire.
He looted wealth and riches as part of his victories and depending on his mood, he would eliminate anyone who stood in his way, even his close friends and allies. The kind of man which history books often praise as a ‘great leader of men’. An other great leader was Adolf Hitler, and our history books have not been as kind to him as they have been to Alexander, Atilla and to the Romans. So what is the difference between Adolf Hitler, Alexander, Atilla the Hun and Julius Caesar? How much time will need to pass before historians start to include Hitler in the same revered group of great military leaders of the past? Or is it the visual reminder of the horrors of war that will exclude Hitler from this ‘great’ group of leaders? It certainly feels that time does soften the blow while the more recent dictators were captured on film which blows the romantic perception of war in an instant.
In other chapters we have explored the DNA, our genome, and its capacity to control all of our emotional and physical characteristics. We raise the argument that we are the slaves to our DNA. And as we cast our critical mind back to the events which shaped our history, all we can see is violence, conflict and destruction. It's as if Humankind simply cannot escape the grip of its violent behavior. Once again, I must remind you that the violent gene runs ‘deep and strong’ in our bodies and we must begin to identify this behavioral pattern of humanity, so that we can begin to understand it. Mumbo-jumbo psychology will get us nowhere. The harsh reality is embedded in our genome. Our propensity for cruelty and violence was unconsciously bred into us by our maker at the point of creation. And because we were made in the ‘image of our maker’, it must surely mean that we inherited more than just his physical features. There is the distinct
6
possibility that if we were created as genetic experiments, or as I have called us, a ‘slave species’, other genetic characteristics like temperament and even our potential for violence would have been transferred to us. From genetic studies we have already found that most of our genome is somehow switched off. This could mean that the ‘maker’ created a potential genetic imbalance, by purposely disabling certain genes, and allowing others to remain as the master program which controls us.
So, by extrapolation, if we have parts of our maker in us, surely this must mean that such a ‘maker’ must have the violent gene embedded in its genome? Is this why there are so many horrific tales of brutality by ‘god’ towards man throughout ancient history? Could this god have been a mere advanced being, merely exhibiting his neo-human traits of jealousy, vengeance, retribution, punishment and other very normal characteristics typical of the human species? Is it at all possible that God with a big ‘G’ could behave in such a barbaric human way?
The wrath of god should really be called the wrath of man. How is it possible that God, the creator of the universe and all things in it could have intentionally created such a hateful and violent creature as the human? And after creating us in this disturbing way, in his image, the God of love and the God of forgiveness, turned into a god of retribution, punishment, vengeance, but also a god of reward if he got what he wanted.
And mostly he wanted a load of material things like gold, silver, saffron, foods of a wide variety, special favors and he even requested his pilgrims to go to war in his name, destroying man, woman and beast. The Bible is filled with these kind of stories which are too close for comfort to the materialistic and obsessive desires by mortal beings, and are not becoming of the benevolent God who lives in spirit, filling every crevice of the universe. Here is an interesting comparison between the brutality of modern dictators, and the vengeance and brutality of god. Note that I use ‘god’ instead of ‘God’, as we are beginning to discover that there is a vast difference between the two, which has evaded simple man for millennia.

‘The Wrath of Dictators’
Number of living things that were killed by dictators in the past.
1) How many men did Genghis Khan kill because someone decided to peek into his chest of treasures?
250. The people who looked into the chest and their immediate families.
2) How many men did Stalin’s henchmen kill in one day because they failed to say they supported Stalin?
1,000 - those who failed to say they supported Stalin.
1. How many Ethiopians did Idi Amin from Uganda kill for his cleansing of chosen people?
One million.
While these questions may seem deliberately warped, sick and probably indicative of a psychopathic mind, you don't have to panic. The answers to these questions are purely hypothetical, because these questions were actually taken, word for word, from a Bible quiz on a respectable Christian website. (www.landoverbaptist.org)
All we did was to replace the word ‘God’ with a dictator or killer. I trust you are as horrified as I was when I first saw this. I had shivers running down my spine. It reads more brutally than any horror movie I have seen. And yet, this is the stuff we teach our children because it was written thousands of years ago, claiming that they were instructed by ‘God’ to perform these gruesome acts. I ask you to read these questions and answers with an open mind. It seems that we are incapable of separating right from wrong, as we keep justifying these acts of horror, because they were performed in the name of god. Ask yourself the following; if you were to commit such acts today, in the way they are described in this questions, in the name of god, what would happen to you and how would the global community react? The so-called ‘wrath of god’ is too horrible to imagine, and the reality is too incredible to digest. And so, we teach our children the stories about the ‘wrath of god’, and we fill them with fear instead of love and compassion.

Such is the nature of the defective genome lurking in our cells, keeping us entrapped in a cycle of fear, violence and unspeakable cruelty towards our neighbors. The fact that follows points unquestionably to a violent gene passed onto us by our maker. It smacks of an obsessive human characteristic that is predisposed to divide and conquer through intimidation, violence, brutality and fear. Where is the God of love, the God who asks us to love our neighbor; and to love thy enemy; and to turn the other cheek; and to forgive them for they do not know what they are doing?
Prepare yourself for a spine-chilling experience. It is truly unbelievable when presented in this format. I, for one, cannot accept the delusional ramblings of a handful of men from the past, when they justify their horrific actions in the name of god. This is not my God, this is not the God who in a moment of infinite creativity, gave birth to the universe and filled it with an infinite number of souls to roam the width and breadth of the creation. There is so little we know about the spiritual realm, but there will come a day when we will evolve to the point where our genetic make up starts to open up the portals of our mind to the greater spiritual world, to which we have been denied access, mainly due to our incomplete genome.
THE FIRST COMMANDMENTS
INSTRUCTIONS OF SHURUPPAK:
Sumerian on clay, Sumer, 2,600 BC. This Early Dynastic tablet represents the earliest literature in the world. Only 4 groups of texts are known from the dawn of literature. The instructions are addressed by the pre-flood ruler
9
Shuruppak, to his son Ziusudra, who was the Sumerian Noah. Shuruppak's instructions can be said to be the Sumerian forerunner of the 10 Commandments and some of the Proverbs of the Bible. Line 50: Do not curse with powerful means (3rd Commandment); line 28: Do not kill (6th Commandment); line 33-34: Do not laugh with or sit alone in a chamber with a girl that is married (7th Commandment); lines 28-31: Do not steal or commit robbery (8th Commandment); line 36: Do not spit out lies (9th Commandment).
There are so many similarities between the Sumerian tablets and the books of the Bible, that it instantly begs the question; how is it possible? If you look at the tone used in the books of the old testament, you will see that it carries a strong resemblance to the Sumerian transcripts regarding the behavior of the Anunnaki, who came to Earth in the distant past. We will study their behavior and their actions that resulted in the creation of our own human species, fast- forwarding the evolutionary process while restricting the genome of the new species to the bare essentials.
From the Sumerian tablets it will become blatantly clear that the gods who ruled the world in the distant past were mere mortals with human-like needs and desires. They may have had advanced knowledge, skills and scientific ability, but this did not make them God. The strict instructions they gave man were blatantly designed to exercise absolute control over their newly-created ‘slave species’. The messages that the so-called prophets of the Old Testament wrote about, and the messages they conveyed to the people of their world, were cunningly devised by the Anunnaki to keep man in his place and punish him if he stepped out of line. The wrath of god falls perfectly in line with this kind of ‘control-freak’ behavior and should never be confused with the will of God, with a big 'G'.
CREATION OF THE WORLD
10
DEBATE BETWEEN BIRD AND FISH – PART OF THE SUMERIAN CREATION STORY.
Sumerian clay tablet, Babylon, circa 1,900 BC. About 50-60 sources for the Creation of the Hoe are known. This clay tablet predates the Old Testament by at least 1,000 years. Could this have been one of the many ancient sources that inspired the authors of Genesis?
Commentary:
Text 1 is a part of the Sumerian creation story, as a literary debate between the bird and the fish in which they argue for their usefulness in the universe. It has a substantially variant form of the published text, and the end is unpublished. Parts of the text are similar to Genesis 1:20-22. Text 2 deals with the Sumerian belief that the hoe, one of their basic agricultural tools, was given to them as a gift by the gods. It opens with the Sumerian creation of the world and of man, with parallels to the Bible's two creation stories: "The Lord hastened to separate heaven from earth" (Gen. 1:6-10); "and Daylight shone forth" (Gen. 1:3-5). It also predates the 2nd creation story of the Bible: "The Lord put the (first) human in the brick mould, and Enlil's people emerged from the ground" (Gen. 2:7).
The next Bible questions is just another item of proof in our gallery of evidence. It paints a gruesome picture of god and exposes his true identity. This was not the loving God some of us have come to imagine, but rather a materialistic, obsessive and vengeful human-like being whom Humankind got to worship as god. It is confusing why these ancient gods of the world would allow someone like Jesus Christ to shake their absolute control of Humankind, but if we just read between the lines, their devious strategy bowls us over with its undermining brilliance.
In a few short years Jesus turned the oppressive teaching of the Old Testament on its head and completely changed the way humans should deal with their needs and their own humanity. But now that we know who the god of the Old Testament really was, the identity of Jesus exposes a whole new plot in the entrapment of Humankind. Did he have special powers? It certainly seems like it and once we have looked at the Sumerian texts it will all start making very clear sense. We will come much closer to understanding who the ‘Prince of Peace’ was and why his message was so important to humanity at that specific point in time. So let us take a few steps back now,
11
from the Prince of Peace to the horrific, vengeful, barbaric acts perpetrated in the name of god by men in the times of the Old Testament. What was said is probably quite different from what was written. What is read and understood is most certainly different from what was said in the beginning. The ancient tablets have exposed the real truth. The following Bible questions is posed by the Landover Baptist Church in an attempt to spread the word of God. All it does, is support the notion that God is not who we have been led to believe. The original objective was to determine the number of living things killed by God.
‘The Wrath of God’
1. How many men did God kill because someone decided to peek into the ark of the Lord?
(50,070) “And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the Lord, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the Lord had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter.” (1 Samuel 6:19).
2. How many men did Moses kill in one day because they failed to say they supported God?
(3,000) “Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him. And he said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor. And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.” (Exodus 32:26-28)
3. How many people did God kill in a plague before someone pleased God by ending a mixed marriage with the murder of the couple?
(24,000) “And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And when Phineas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose
12
up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand; And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel. And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.” (Numbers 25:6-9)
4. How many animals did Solomon kill in a sacrifice to please the Lord?
(120,000 sheep and 22,000 oxen) “And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offering, which he offered unto the Lord, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the Lord.” (1 Kings 8:63)
5. How many Israelites did God deliver to the people of Judah to slaughter?
(500,000) “Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God delivered them into their hand. And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men. Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the Lord God of their fathers.” (2 Chronicles 13:15-18)
6. Notwithstanding the above, how many people of Judah were once killed or enslaved because they didn't give God his due?
(120,000 valiant men were killed and 200,000 women and children were taken as slaves, not to mention the theft of property.) “For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred and twenty thousand in one day, which were all valiant men; because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers. ...And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them.”(2 Chronicles 28:6-8)
7. How many Ethiopians did God kill for His chosen people?
(One million, 1,000,000) “And Asa had an army of men . . . And there came out against them Zera the Ethiopian with an host of a thousand thousand . . . Asa cried unto the Lord his God, and said Lord, it is nothing with thee to
13
help, whether with many, or with them that have no power, help us, O Lord our God . . . So the Lord smote the Ethiopians.” (2 Chronicles 14:8-12)
8. Speaking of God's chosen people, how many kings were maimed in God's name?
(70 had their thumbs and big toes cut off.) “And they found Abonibezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and Perizzites. But Abonibezek fled; and they pursued after him and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes. And Abonibezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table: as I have done, so God hath requited me.” (Judges 1:5- 7)
9. How many soldiers did God burn to death with fire from Heaven because they confronted Elijah?
(150 – three sets of 50) “And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. Again also he sent unto him another captain ... And Elijah answered and said unto them,
If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty . . . And he sent again a captain of the third fifty ... Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties.” (2 Chronicles 1:10-14)
10. By the time God gets through with his killing spree, how many dead will there be?
(Enough to cover the entire surface of the Earth.)
“And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried, they shall be dung upon the ground.” (Jeremiah 25:33).

If the above content does not shock you, the years of propaganda have certainly dulled our senses. Could those possibly be the commands and the wishes of the God of Love?
I do not believe that for one minute. It stinks of manipulative human characteristics of monumental proportion. It is amazing how ‘god’ chooses sides, favoring one group of his creation over another, willfully and maliciously guiding people to their death. He changes his mind virtually on a daily basis about his chosen people. Sometimes he delivers them from harm's way, at other times he purposely leads them to be slaughtered like sheep.
This god clearly displays the kind of characteristics which he passed onto us. And we unmistakably display the traits that we could only have inherited from our maker, since he passed his genetic material onto us; genetically engineered into us by the scientists of the ancient world, who arrived here on Earth to set up a base camp and mine the rich minerals in the ground for use on their planet Nibiru.
ANU THE SUPREME GOD
15
Two separate tablets showing Anu, the supreme commander of the Anunnaki being served by human slaves. Note the star symbol representing his godly status and the radiant planet Nibiru.
All this will be breathtakingly revealed when we start to examine the Sumerian tablets. But if you think that I was lucky and found a few random out of place examples in the bible, you are very mistaken. The old testament is filled with acts of horror on virtually every page. It seems that whoever was trying to control us had a very good strategy. Fear, punishment and reward. Just look at how successful it has been. There are still people today who live by those values 4000 years later. It was actually very simple back then. Just remember that the Anunnaki gods were dealing with a new, primitive, un-evolved and uninformed species on Earth, one with no history, no memory, no legends, no culture. Everything they experienced was brand new to them.
It was easy to find the leaders among them, appoint them in a position of authority by giving them the exclusive ability to converse with their maker ‘god’ and bring instructions, warnings, reward and retribution to the followers in the name of ‘god’. And so the embryonic relationship between the new species and its god evolved over several thousand years, while the uninformed slaves were entrapped in the worst kind of slavery possible; the fear of their creator. Look how long it takes to rehabilitate battered animals. Some of them cannot be saved. Some will be fearful of their brutal master for the rest of their lives. With justifiable reason, because the master beats them and hurts them for no apparent reason. In this instance, there is no difference between the ‘dog animal’ and the ‘human animal’.
The fear of the vengeful god runs so deep in some cultures that it will take hundreds of years to erase it, and replace it with the opposite emotion and response. The gods got themselves into the perfect position of power and control over their primitive creation. We were given clear instructions as the new slave species; do not question, do as you are told, have blind faith in your maker, because if you question or disobey, you will be punished. And as we have seen in the very graphic quiz, the punishment was swift and severe. So if you are still not convinced that we had a vengeful, manipulative creator here on Earth in some kind of advanced human form, here are a few more extracts from the Old Testament to send shivers up your spine. Once again this food for thought is provided by the Landover Baptist Church.

‘The Love of God’
1. How many people did God kill in one day for having premarital sex?
(23,000) “Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.” (1 Corinthians 10:8)
2. After God brought the Israelites out of Egypt, how many of their own people did they kill, at God's behest, for declining to give God His due?
(3,000 spouses and siblings in a single day) “Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord's side? Let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him. And he said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor. And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.”(Exodus 32:26-28)
3. How many Israelites did God kill to punish David for counting them?
(70,000 people through pestilence) “And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel. And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it. . . . And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel. . . . So the Lord sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.” (1 Chronicles 21:1-14)
4. How many people did God slaughter in a plague because they had the audacity to question the judgment of Moses and Aaron?
(14,700, plus 250. He burned to death with fire) "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces. ... and, behold, the plague was begun among the people... Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah" (Numbers 16:44-49). “And there came out a fire from the Lord, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.” (Numbers 16:35)
17
5. How many Israelites did God slaughter in a plague for whoring around?
(24,000) "And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods. And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel. ... And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand. " (Numbers 25:1-9)
6. How many members of other races and tribes did the Lord deliver to be slaughtered by Israel because he favored the Israelites and was prejudiced against other tribes?
(10,000 Canaanites and Perizzites and 10,000 Moabites to name a few) “And Judah went up; and the Lord delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand men” (Judges 1:4). “And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the Lord hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over. And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valor; and there escaped not a man.” (Judges 3:28-29)
7. How many people did God kill in Sodom and Gomorra for engaging in homosexual acts?
(Every single living thing in the communities) “Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorra brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven; and he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. (Genesis 19:24-25)
8. How many Assyrians did God kill after their king and his servants made fun of God?
(185,000) “And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord. . . . And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. . . . Then the angel of the Lord went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.” (Isaiah 37:1-36)
18
9. How many Israelites did God threaten to kill when the tribe abandoned Him?
(90 percent of the population of each community) “Hear ye this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel. The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up. For thus saith the Lord God; the City that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall have ten, to the house of Israel.”(Amos 5:1-3)
10. When God became particularly disgusted with the sin of man, how many beings did He kill?
Every living thing (children and unborn children included) on the face of the earth (except those few residing on an ark)) “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. . . . And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: all in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.”
(Genesis 6:5-7:22)
As wild as my theories may sound to you, about advanced humanoids creating a slave species on Earth to perform the hard labour in mines and other areas, it is not nearly as shocking as the following biblical quiz. It goes a long way in supporting my theories about the true identity of ‘god’ our maker, depicting his obsession with taking control of the new species, which was proving to be a handful. After all, they could not allow the slave species to get out of hand, when they were created as slaves. They were not here to have a good time. After this blood-thirsty display of ancient times, we can take a look at how closely it compares to the military activity we are capable of today, showing that we, the slave species, have evolved much closer to the levels of our makers, the Anunnaki. Unfortunately our evolution has not always been for the better. Please hold onto your hat, the following is truly hard to believe.

‘God's Favorite Ways To Kill’
Once again this quiz was posed by the Landover Baptist Church, providing us with all the evidence we need to show that the so-called god of man, was no more than a power-hungry and brutal humanoid with advanced powers.
This is how the Baptists justify god’s brutality:
“We all know God has historically killed or tortured those who rub Him up the wrong way. What you may not realize is that God's methods of maiming are as varied as his reasons for smiting people. A Biblical scholar / True Christian should have no difficulty determining God's favorite way of torturing and / or killing less desirable folks in each of the following circumstances.”
1. Which of the following are among God's methods of punishing those who break His commandments?
“But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments... I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes... I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle.” (Leviticus 26:14-22.) “If thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments... The Lord will smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish... The Lord will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. The Lord shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart.” (Deuteronomy 28:15-28)
2. How does God handle people who make Him jealous by having a religion different than ours?
“They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up... And he said... They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger...For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall
20
consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them. They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of grey hairs.” (Deuteronomy 32:17-25.) “Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shall break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.” (Psalms 2:8)
3. How does God kill whiners?
“And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.” (Numbers 11:1)
4. How does God prefer to torture those who somehow become enemies of His chosen people?
“God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a unicorn: he shall eat up the nations of his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.” (Numbers 24:8.) “Moreover the Lord thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed. Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the Lord thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible.” (Deuteronomy 7:20-21.) “And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood.” (Isaiah 49:26)
5. How does God kill those who vacation in Egypt?
“And now therefore hear the word of the Lord, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; If you wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there; Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt;
21
and there ye shall die. So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.” (Jeremiah 42:15-17)
6. How did God express his hatred toward people living in metropolitan Babylon?
“How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations. A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: and sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed.” (Jeremiah 50:23, 37)
7. When a community's sins really make God mad, how does God find comfort?
“Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord God; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity. A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them. Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted.” (Ezekiel 5:11-13)
8. Whom does God slaughter when He gets jealous because a community is worshiping someone else?
“Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.” (Hosea 13:16)
9. How does God punish promiscuous folks, like men who have sex with both their wives and mothers-in-law and daughters of priests who sleep around?
“And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.” (Leviticus 20:14.) “And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.”
22
(Leviticus 21:9)
10. In Jesus' time, how did the Trinity deal with nonbelievers?
“And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.” (Acts 12:23.) “But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. Then Saul, (who also is called Paul) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him. And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.” (Acts 13:8-11)
And if you think I am done trying to prove a point, you are mistaken. When I started uncovering the brutality in the Bible and the way it has been passed down the generations and used as a tool of oppression, fear and punishment, I was so shocked I could not sleep for weeks. We have to separate ourselves from these barbaric acts of self-righteous bigots from days gone by, who have hijacked the true spirit and meaning of God, and by so doing imprisoned an entire planet for millennia. We must separate the true spirit of God from the whims and needs of the advanced beings who settled on Earth and planted the seeds of a violent society among humans, into which we have evolved so comfortably, seemingly oblivious of our origins and true purpose. So here is some more food for thought especially for those who are still not convinced. Another quiz from a righteous religious group. Trying their very best to glorify the sadistic words of a lesser god.
‘God’s License To Sin’
The following excerpt is another statement from the Landover Baptist Church glorifying cold-blooded murder as long as it is in the name of God: “The Bible is loaded with verses restricting our activities and making even the most mundane of human reactions a sin. But if you carefully scour the Good Book, you'll discover that countless exceptions to these commandments literally swallow up the rules.
23
License to Sin in the Bible
1. Murder is a sin, unless your victim is:
“If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman...they shall be put to death.” (Leviticus 20:13.) “One of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman... And when Phinehas... saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand... and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.” (Numbers 25:6- 8.) “He slew all the house of Baasha, he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolk, nor of his friends. Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the Lord.” (1 Kings 16:11-12)
2. Intolerance toward the handicapped is a sin, unless the discrimination takes the form of:
“Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, Or a man that is broken footed, or broken handed, Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the Lord made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.” (Leviticus 21:17-21.)
“And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and everyone that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead: Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.” (Numbers 5:1-3).“ He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord.” (Deuteronomy 23:1)
3. Cannibalism is a sin, unless you eat:
(Your children, infants, friends and self when God destroys everything else so
24
these are all that are left to eat.) “And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness.” (Jeremiah 19:9.) “And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and the straitness.” (Deuteronomy 28:57.)
“Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother. And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm.” (Isaiah 9:19-20.) “Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the Lord; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.” (Numbers 19:13)
4. Murdering your own child is a sin, unless your child:
“And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.” (Exodus 21:17.) “If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods...thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die.” (Deuteronomy 13:6-10.) “And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.” (Matthew 10:21-22)
5. Self-mutilation is a sin, unless:
(You remove a body part that has engaged or is about to engage in sin, such as slicing off your genitals to remain a virgin.) “And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee.” (Matthew 5:29-30; see also Matthew 18:8-9; Mark 9:43-48.) “For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are
25
some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake.
He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.” (Matthew 19:12.) “And no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits unto God and to the Lamb.” (Revelation 14:3-4.) “They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.” (Leviticus 21:5)
6. Rape is a sin subject to the greatest of punishments, but is easily overlooked and forgiven if the victim is:
“And when the Lord thy God hath delivered [a city] into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword: But the women... shalt thou take unto thyself.” (Deuteronomy 20:13-14.) “And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the Lord, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering. And the priest shall make atonement for him.” (Leviticus 19:20-22.) “If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found: Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife.” (Deuteronomy 22:28-29)
7. Savagely beating another person with a weapon is a sin, unless you stop just before your victim dies and the victim is:
“And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.” (Exodus 21:20-21.) “Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.” (Prov. 23:13-14)
26
8. Abandoning your family is a sin, unless:
“Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac... And God said unto Abraham... harken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called... And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.” (Genesis 21:10-14.) “Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves.
Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin. Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives?... Thus cleansed I them from all strangers, and appointed the wards of the priests and the Levites, every one in his business.” (Nehemiah 13:25-30.) “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.” (Luke 14:26; see also Mark 10:29-30; Luke 18:29-30.)
9. Homosexuality is a sin, unless:
(You're one of God's favorite children, and you have many wives in addition to your boyfriend.) “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” (Leviticus 18:22.) “[David said] I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.” (2 Samuel 1:26.) “And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times; and they [Jonathan and David] kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.” (1 Samuel 20:41.) “And [David] had 700 wives, princesses, and 300 concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.” (1 Kings 11:3) “For this cause God gave them up into vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.” (Rom. 1:26-27)
27
10. Killing someone is a sin unless your victim is:
“Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.” (Exodus 22:18.) “But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, even before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.” (Numbers 3:38.) “If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbor's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.” (Deuteronomy 22:23-24)
As far as I am concerned this is all the proof we need to support the theory that things were not what we would have liked them to be all those years ago. There were some weird things going on in the Near East. If God said that we are all born in sin... all this graphic killing in the name of God seems a little arrogant, since we were told by Jesus “He who is without sin, let them cast the first stone”, and we are also supposed to “turn the other cheek”. What is going on here? Which part of the Bible should we actually subscribe to? Not one part I say. It has become clear that this was not a book inspired by the divine God of the universe, but a sadistic, manipulative advanced being, obsessed with keeping Humankind under control. During our violent path to this point in time, we have fought endless wars and in the process developed some truly remarkable technology.
The research and development that has gone into military weaponry, naval equipment and aeronautical science has been astonishing. In the past 100 years we have created weapons of such awesome power that they could destroy the people of the world in a matter of hours if they were deployed. These deadly weapons come in a variety of forms, but the most feared are WOMDs (weapons of mass destruction). You may remember hearing a great deal about these during the Bush-Iraq episode. These WOMDs can be nuclear... atomic, hydrogen, neutron and other varieties; they can also be biological... anthrax, botulism, smallpox, mustard gas, the list is endless. What they have in common, is that they can kill millions of people in a matter of seconds. While the bombs are usually dropped from the sky on their designated recipients with pinpoint accuracy, their delivery may vary. It may even be guided by a laser. The biological kind is more versatile. They can be
28
delivered in a bomb, distributed by the wind, in viruses and other microscopic pathogens that develop into a plague, in the drinking water, in food, medication and other ingenious carriers. While the bombs explode with a mighty glare of the sun, obliterating everything in their path for hundreds of kilometers, biological weapons sneak up on their victims unexpectedly. You can die quickly, in a few seconds or you can suffer for days maybe even years before you eventually die a horrible painful death that seems to have no cure. The most impressive aspect of biological weapons is that there is no antidote for most of them. Just imagine the kinds of human minds who invented these as possible solutions to a problem, or as one of the options to choose from when planning a conflict situation. The long-term benefits of both kinds of weapons are legendary.
It is now known that many of the world's governments have experimented on humans with biological substances for over 60 years, in the pursuit of WOMDs development. All the global powers who were jostling for supremacy were involved in some form of BW (biological warfare) experimentation. In their book entitled Plague Wars, Tom Mangold and Jeff Goldberg give us a gruesome overview of the history of biological warfare. And while they subtly draw our attention to some quotes from the Bible which may resemble biological warfare, they may not have been aware how close to the truth they were. The Germans were not the only ones who desecrated human rights in this regard. The Yanks performed tests on their own soldiers in Korea and in Vietnam, the Russians did similar things, but it is the Japanese who possibly have the most horrific record of keeping prisoners alive for months while performing unspeakable tests on them.
This kind of behavior can only be explained by our malfunctioning DNA. No other creature, other than the human, is capable of such horrific acts against their own kind. But we must have inherited this DNA from somewhere? Our fascination with biological weapons and man's suffering associated with it, goes back thousands of years. The Sumerian tablets carry gruesome details of how people perished from the “evil wind” which was caused by the gods' deadly weapons. The weapons that we are exposed to in science fiction movies amaze us, and yet, somewhere deep inside we believe that it could be possible. Maybe not today, but sometime in the future. Is the future already here? Do such incredible weapons exist? How much do we really know about the latest technologies used by weapons manufacturers? There are many who claim that lasers and other new precision technology weapons exist, which work with photons, ions, electrons and ultra-high frequency radiation. Even
29
ultra low frequency sound waves are now well developed as weapons and most likely well guarded as national secrets by their respective governments. So, where am I going with this? It is uncanny how similar the effects of modern weapons are when described verbally, to the many descriptions of annihilation and destruction referred to in the Bible. The similarities are too close for comfort. If we were created by a more advanced human-like species with a knowledge of genetics some 200,000 years ago, it must surely mean that they would also have had the knowledge of the kind of weapons that we have developed on Earth since then, as we evolved into our current state of consciousness. And if we compare the wars and conflicts that are started on Earth today, often as a result of minor misunderstandings or even a conscious demonstration of power by one leader over another, it is very easy to reason that the advanced gods of pre-history used such technology to control and punish their creation in an attempt to keep them fearful and obedient.
There are many passages in the Bible that clearly point to such violent activity, which could only have been delivered by WOMDs. Many of these biblical situations are virtually identical to situations described in the Sumerian tablets in which the gods were either leading, guiding, observing, engaging, rewarding or punishing the people. A similar story, which we will expand on later, was depicted in the Bible surrounding the destruction of Sodom and Gomorra. All these violent acts were supposedly performed by god against the sinful people on Earth. They seem to have been attacked with biological weapons and possibly even nuclear weapons. But if you think that such references are restricted to the ancient biblical days, you are mistaken. The presence of the ‘god of vengeance’ is reported in great detail by William Bramley in his book Gods of Eden.
Between 1347 and 1350, the whole of Europe and surrounding lands were struck down by the ‘Black Death’ which arrived from Asia, supposedly carried by the fleas transferring it from rats to humans. In those days little was known about the disease, but today we know there were actually two kinds: Bubonic Plague and Pneumonic Plague. Today we have a bit more scientific information about these diseases and how they spread. The plagues would return to Europe every ten to twenty years, killing many millions until the 1700s. It is estimated that over 100 million people died from the Plague during that period. The people of the world had never experienced anything like this before. Or so they thought. It was like a plague from biblical days. Swelling of the lymph nodes, which were called ‘buboes’, vomiting and fever, resulting in death within two days. Or, shivering, rapid breathing,
30
coughing up blood, high fever, and death in three to four days. The strange circumstances surrounding the breakout of this disease has puzzled scientists for years. The required contact with rats has caused great confusion, as the disease would strike isolated communities miles apart, while sparing others. There would be very little rodent activity and it would normally happen during summer in areas that were not necessarily heavily overpopulated. According to Bramley, the outbreaks would usually occur after the appearance of a “foul smelling mist” which went hand in hand with “seeing unusually bright lights in the sky”. These mists and lights were the most frequently reported events of those times, just before the plague suddenly descended on them. It seems that these ‘lights and mists’ had more to do with the plagues that followed than the large numbers of rats. Bramley continues with some staggering information.
One year before the first outbreak in Europe, a “column of fire” was reported over the Pope’s palace in Avignon, France. Another report from that period talks about “a ball of fire” which was observed over Paris and remained visible to observers for some time. Is it possible that the ancient gods of Sumer and Egypt, who flew around in their ‘sky chariots’ and ‘boats of heaven’ could still have been active as recently as the 13th century? There is growing evidence to support such a ridiculous idea. But historians call the ancient events “mythological” while the more recent ones were just “figments of people’s imagination”. How convenient. Once more our precious historians dismiss events which cannot be explained, only to replace them with a more popular version of their own truth, one which does not seem too ridiculous to the global populace.
Is it possible that while the ancient Anunnaki gods were trying to keep Humankind enslaved with religious dogma, they were also attempting to reduce the growing numbers of their slave species, which would allow them to exercise greater control over humans? It certainly seems as if such crazy ideas may pack a punch after all. The people of those Dark Ages, were extremely superstitious, and the church exercised immense control over what people did and what they thought and what they believed. Those were days of high comet activity, which is well documented, and comets were therefore also always associated with an impending plague of some sort. Between 1298 and 1314 there were seven large comets reported over Europe. But in those days the people would call every bright light in the sky a comet. In 1557, Conrad Lycosthenes published a book with one of the longest titles ever. A chronicle of prodigies and portents that have occurred beyond the right order,
31
operation and working of nature, in both the upper and lower regions of the earth, from the beginning of the world up to these present times. This was a bestseller of its time that talks about a “comet” that was seen over Arabia in 1479. “A comet was seen in Arabia in the manner of a sharply pointed wooden beam...” This description certainly does not sound like a comet at all. Today it would most likely be called a UFO. But I have steered clear of UFO talk in this book, rather asserting that we have much closer historical links to the gods of the ancient world, who were described as flying in ‘sky ships’ and ‘boats of heaven’. It does however seem that the dark ages of Humankind were a period of high UFO activity, whether we like to accept it or not. Similar reports from Asia also described the death and destruction which followed unusual aerial phenomena. This is a report by one Asian historian:
“They were confused, exaggerated, frightening, as reports from that quarter of the world so often are: descriptions of storms and earthquakes; of meteors and comets trailing noxious gases that killed trees and destroyed the fertility of the land.” (Bramley)
The outbreak of plague was usually preceded by this kind of aerial activity which could range from a few minutes before the horror affected humans, to as long as one year. Another report claims:
“In 1117, in January, a comet passed like a fiery arm from the North towards the Orient... a year later a light appeared more brilliant than the sun... followed by great cold, famine and plague of which one third of humanity is said to have perished.”(Bramley)
This event refers to one third of the population in that specific region and not necessarily the whole world. But to those people, it was the whole world. The link between comets and the Plague continued. There were 26 comets reported between 1500 and 1543. A further 15 or 16 were observed between 1556 and 1597, while in 1618 another nine comets were observed. Does this not strike you as being highly suspicious at all? When last did you see a comet? Even if you did see one recently, which is highly unlikely, since the last visible comet that passed Earth was comet Encke, in December 2003, which was hardly visible to the naked eye. But these comets in the distant past were apparently seen by many, during the day as well as at night. They were not described as a distant fiery ball with a long tail, but described more as a bright light hovering for all to see. A report came out of Vienna
32
describing events in 1568: “When in sun and moonlight a beautiful rainbow and a fiery beam were seen hovering above the church of St Stephanie... followed by a violent epidemic in Austria, Swabia, Augsberg, Wuertemberg, Nuremburg and other places... carrying off human beings and cattle.” Each time these comets appeared, the people would be struck down with the Plague. In 1606, a comet caused the death of 37,000 in Prague, and 46 415 in the Netherlands. But the horror of the Plague was not only restricted to attacks with some kind of biological substance from the sky. Have you ever wondered where the classic image of ‘death’ being portrayed as a skeleton demon carrying a scythe actually originated from? Other reports of “frightening human-like figures dressed in black” were also common sights shortly before the Plague would strike. Appearing on the outskirts of towns and villages, these figures normally entered the fields of wheat or oats with some sort of spraying device, distributing what must have been infectious poisons on the crops. Bramley describes yet another such reported incident:
“In Brandenburg there appeared in 1559 horrible men... fearful faces and long scythes with which they cut at the oats, so that the swish could be heard at a great distance, but the oats remained standing.”
The appearance of such “men” was followed by an immediate outbreak of the Plague in Brandenburg, for example. The so-called scythes must have been a spraying device of some sort, the kinds which we would spot a mile away on a modern farm today. I have personally spent days on my dad's farm, spraying for larvae with a similar device. The reports did not stop there, more were reported from Hungary as pointed out by Bramley. “There appeared so many black riders...but who rapidly disappeared again...and thereupon a raging plague broke out in the neighborhood.” William Bramley points out that “the scythe came to symbolize the act of Death mowing down people like stalks of grain.”
And these reports of the Plague have been recorded from all over the world. In China in 1333 “after a terrible mist emitting a fearful stench and infecting the air.” If you ever smelt a burst gas pipe you would be able to relate to the stench. Poisonous gas or deadly biological gaseous compounds do not smell pleasantly. They generally also have a choking effect on the victims. The reports make it clear that the deadly Plague did not spread from person to person, it afflicted everyone at the same time. How could it be the result of infected fleas on rats? This is a very dubious bit of disinformation, which begins to sound more and more as if the real facts have been withheld from
33
us. Another event in China describes the situation as such: “During 1382... the air grew putrid... the plague did not pass from one man to another, but everyone who was killed by it got it straight from the air.” I believe I've made my point. There are however many more examples, which would begin to sound repetitive. The biological warfare hostilities against humans which we witnessed in the 20th century, showed us the gruesome effects of such poisons. It seems that while these kinds of event were taking place in the first 600 years of the previous millennium, we have 4,500 year old Sumerian tablets describing similar atrocities brought upon Humankind by the so-called mythological gods of ancient times. Even the Bible has many descriptions of plagues and pestilence being unleashed on the human race by the ‘god of vengeance’. What a wonderful thread it is that holds it all together. So who is this god of the Bible who has kept us so fearful for thousands of years?
One thing is for sure, this god certainly puts his money where his mouth is, when he executes his violent threats against his ‘beloved’ human creation. There can be no mistake in our conclusion that the god of the Bible is not the God we all hoped he was. But rather a powerful, anxious, advanced being, whose ‘primitive worker’ or slave species has grown out of control on this planet. The advanced beings who the humans have come to worship as gods have mostly withdrawn from Earth, as the conditions began to turn against them and they lost control over the large numbers of humans being born. Their ‘little’ experiment to create the ‘Adamu’ was an initial success, but it turned out to be the Great Human Tragedy. So much so, that some 4,050 years ago some of the Anunnaki gods attempted to wipe out all of Humankind, with an all-out nuclear attack on all their main settlements. These events are dramatically recorded in the Bible, Genesis 18, during the destruction of Sodom and Gomorra.
God Destroys Sodom and Gomorra Genesis 18: 23 -29
“The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar. Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorra sulphur and fire from the LORD out of heaven. And he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. But Lot's wife, behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. And Abraham went early
34
in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD. And he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorra and toward all the land of the valley, and he looked and, behold, the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a furnace. So it was that, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, God remembered Abraham and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow when he overthrew the cities in which Lot had lived.” It is evident from the Bible that god destroyed more than just the two cities, as it also talks about the rest of the valley. But the event is described even more vividly on clay tablets dated back to over 4,500 years and predating the Bible by some 1,000 years. The graphic description in the ancient clay tablets leave us with no doubt at all, that the god of the Bible was not our friend, nor our saviour, but was most certainly our vicious and vengeful maker. It is in his image that we have been created and it is his violent DNA which we have inherited.
These are translations of Sumerian tablets by Zecharia Sitchin describing the events on that fateful day when the gods decided to destroy the world and Humankind with it:
“The evil thing to carry out Ninurta and Nergal were selected... The five cities of the valley he finished off, to desolation they were overturned... steam to the heavens was rising... With fire and brimstone they were upheavaled, all that lived there to vapour was turned... The horizon with darkness it obliterated... By a darkening of the skies were the brilliance followed, then a storm to blow began... Gloom from the skies an Evil Wind carried... Wherever it reached, death to all that lived mercilessly it delivered... Like a ghost the fields and cities it attacked... No door could shut it out, no bolt could turn it back... In the streets were their corpses piled up... Cough and phlegm the chests filled, the mouths with spittle and foam filled up... Their mouths were drenched with blood... The waters were poisoned, all vegetation withered... Everything that lived behind it was dead, people and cattle all alike perished.”
Slaves and Spies
Slavery is a common theme in the Bible / Romans 6:22
“But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God...” 2 Peter 2:19
35
Is this an admission that man has been conned by the gods?
“They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.”
One such fascinating subject which attracted my attention was the concept of slavery. Just like gold, slavery seems to have been around since the dawn of man. I will try to trace it back to its very start and point out why we are so entangled in such a barbaric act even today. Just think about it for a second. Where and when did man suddenly decide that he could own another person? A moment in which one person elevated himself way above the other and proclaimed his complete supremacy over the other.
The concept of enslaving another person is arguably the most abhorrent act of humanity and the most barbaric display of our true character which is indelibly programmed into our genome. What is even more unbelievable, is that the god of the Old Testament does not seem to have a problem with slavery. In fact, on various occasions god actually instructs men on how to treat their slaves and how to dish out punishment to disobedient slaves. In fact the whole idea of slavery was embraced and accepted throughout the entire Bible, right to the end of Revelations. There are over 130 references to ‘slaves’ in the Bible, here are just a few of them to get you thinking about it: Genesis 21:10
“...and she said to Abraham, ‘Get rid of that slave woman and her son, for that slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac.’”
Genesis 44:10
“ ...Whoever is found to have it will become my slave; the rest of you will be free from blame.”
Exodus 3:7 - 10
Clearly showing god's favoritism towards one group.
The LORD said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good
36
and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey – the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”
Exodus 21:20-21
“If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.”
Leviticus 22:11
Even priests were allowed to have slaves.
“But if a priest buys a slave with money, or if a slave is born in his household, that slave may eat his food.”
Deuteronomy 24:7
It was okay for others to be enslaved, but it was deemed to be 'evil' in the eyes of god, to enslave other Israelites.
“If a man is caught kidnapping one of his brother Israelites and treats him as a slave or sells him, the kidnapper must die. You must purge the evil from among you.”
2 Samuel 6:20
David seemingly liked to have some fun with his slave girls, which was not always to the liking of others. Maybe she was just jealous.
“When David returned home to bless his household, Michal daughter of Saul came out to meet him and said, “How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, disrobing in the sight of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow would!”
1 Kings 14:10
37
The repetitive sound of the god of vengeance and fear continues in these words:
“Because of this, I am going to bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam. I will cut off from Jeroboam every last male in Israel - slave or free. I will burn up the house of Jeroboam as one burns dung, until it is all gone.”
Genesis 9:25
Once more god condones the act of slavery.
“Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers.” Exodus 9:20
People prepared themselves against violent acts of god.
“Those officials of Pharaoh who feared the word of the LORD hurried to bring their slaves and their livestock inside. But those who ignored the word of the LORD left their slaves and livestock in the field.”
Leviticus 25:44-45
A very clear endorsement of slavery and enslaving other nations.
“Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.”
1 Samuel 8:17
Warring, conquering and slavery were the order of the day under god's rule.
“He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves.” Ezra 9:9
A perfect example how god cunningly turned mankind into obedient slaves by showing them snippets of mercy and goodwill. This would have been a reference to Cyrus the Great, who freed the Jews from Babylon, and allowed them to go to Jerusalem. But we must remember who Cyrus was. He was an Aryan Persian king who was under the influence of the Anunnaki gods, manipulating humans into all kinds of submission.
38
“Though we are slaves, our God has not deserted us in our bondage. He has shown us kindness in the sight of the kings of Persia: He has granted us new life to rebuild the house of our God and repair its ruins, and he has given us a wall of protection in Judah and Jerusalem.”
Nehemiah 9:36
God continued to enslave humans, making them grateful for small signs of benevolence. Promising reward for obedience and punishment for defiance.
“But see, we are slaves today, slaves in the land you gave our forefathers so they could eat its fruit and the other good things it produces.”
Esther 7:4
God continues to oppress humans.
“For I and my people have been sold for destruction and slaughter and annihilation. If we had merely been sold as male and female slaves, I would have kept quiet, because no such distress would justify disturbing the king.” Psalm 123:2
And humans keep hoping to please the vengeful god while they waited for his benevolence. God's barbaric rule over humanity continues with false promises:
“As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, till he shows us his mercy.”
Jeremiah 34:9
Even the Jews had Hebrew slaves.
“Everyone was to free his Hebrew slaves, both male and female; no one was to hold a fellow Jew in bondage.”
Zechariah 2:9
The god of war sends his loyal human ‘slaves’ to plunder and kill others.
“I will surely raise my hand against them so that their slaves will plunder them. Then you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me.”
39
Matthew 20:26-28
“Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave.”
Acts 7:7
God cunningly sets up his people to be forever grateful for his intervention.
“But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves,” God said, “and afterward they will come out of that country and worship me in this place.” Acts 7:9
“Because the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph, they sold him as a slave into Egypt. But God was with him.”
Revelation 6:15
“Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.”
Colossians 4:1
God makes it clear that humans are his slaves.
“Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.” 1 Peter 2:18-21
Here we have a disciple of Jesus justifying slavery, all because god will reward them for their suffering, they should accept their lot. He even suggests that Humankind was made to be slaves. It shows the incredible hold this brutal god had over Humankind. Constantly subjecting them to hardship and violence.
“Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. For it is commendable if a man bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God... But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. To this you were called...” We can go back to the ancient wars and argue that the concept of slavery arose out of situations where prisoners were taken and kept as slaves or sold as slaves. Alexander
40
the Great would not only enslave the conquered armies, but he would take entire towns, cities and even entire nations of mothers, fathers and children to be enslaved. If they were not kept by the conquering side, they would be sold into slavery to some other king in exchange for gold or whatever they might have agreed to be a fair price for such a valuable booty of humans. The mere thought of this kind of behavior makes us physically ill today, and yet we forget that slavery only really reached its peak on Earth in the last 500 years. There is evidence of slavery in Sumer right at the dawn of so-called civilization. When we analyze the Sumerian word for ‘slave’, we find that it translates into ‘mountain man’ or ‘mountain girl’. This is a crucial bit of evidence for my theory of a slave species. If man, ‘the Adamu’, was created as a slave to work the gold mines on Earth, he would have inherited much of his maker’s DNA.
This means that the very first things early humans had to deal with as a brand new species, were gold and slavery. This is what they were not only born into, but intentionally ‘created’ to do. It stands to reason that if our maker had the genetic makeup to commit such acts, the offspring would most certainly display very similar characteristics. The offspring must surely be a ‘chip off the old block’. And here we are, some 400,000 years later, displaying exactly the same kind of characteristics, completely oblivious to their origins. It is highly ironic that man was created and toiled in Africa from the beginning of time as a slave to the Anunnaki gods, but from the moment the new civilization emerged after the flood which ended the last ice-age, the so- called civilized and free human, did exactly as his Anunnaki ‘father’ did. He captured slaves and started behaving exactly like his maker.
Suddenly the two expressions at the beginning of this chapter, ‘the apple doesn't fall far from the tree’ and ‘like father, like son’ make so much more sense. Just picture the children in small isolated communities. They will inevitably grow up to do one of the things their fathers or mothers did in the small remote village. They will absorb the local culture, they may weave, plant certain crops, breed a certain farm animal, wash in a certain way, eat in a certain way, worship the same way and marry a partner (or more) according to their tradition. Any suggestion of doing things differently is seen as heresy to those who have upheld those traditions for years. They are not aware of the other worldly possibilities, and their frame of reference is restricted only to what they grew up with. To the western world this may sound a bit far- fetched , but let me assure you that this kind of activity permeates much of Africa, Asia, South America, eastern Europe, the Middle and Near East. In
41
fact, even in the so-called ‘very’ advanced societies like the USA, there are little villages and small towns which have upheld their traditions for centuries, completely separated from the rapid modernization that has taken place around them. When the Anunnaki gods decided to help humans learn the skills of survival after the flood, not all humans were convinced that this was a good idea. Some primitive humans most likely did not trust the brutal gods who had oppressed them for so long, and therefore many of them remained in their mountain hideouts, too scared to enter the newly established settlements of people. It must have looked to them like a new version of the labour camps that persisted for millennia around the gold mines.
This is why the newborn civilization did not explode in large numbers of people, but was rather stimulated by its acquisition of know-how virtually overnight. But the global gods eventually found those hidden communities of rebellious slaves and imposed their control on them in the most remote locations. This is all very clearly illustrated in the so-called mythologies of even the most remote tribes of the planet. They all had a similar relationship with the omnipresent gods. But as the new civilized communities' needs for labour increased, they would do what came naturally to them: go into the mountains or the neighboring village and catch themselves some slaves. After all, those ‘mountain men’ and ‘mountain girls’ were now deemed to be wild and primitive in their eyes: ‘Like father... like son’.
But the irony does not end here. When humans adopted their new wisdom by settling into communities, domesticating animals, planting crops and taking slaves captive in the mountains around them, where did they turn to for their supply of slaves next...? Africa. The cycle of life has now been fully completed. The newly civilized slave species returns to its place of birth to capture slaves for their own needs. Does that sound out of line to you? Well it should not. The violent gene was strong in our DNA then, some 11,000 years ago, and it is still as strong as ever today, let there be no doubt about that. The greed gene is still firmly encoded in our DNA and a whole host of other genes that drive our violent, blood-thirsty behavior. Slavery is what the human species was born into, and slavery is what we have known until today. The incredible thing is that virtually all ancient cultures in the world were practicing slavery at some stage, starting with the Sumerians and Egyptians.
Then came Hammurabi, the priest king of Babylon who lived around 2123 to 2181 BC. This was a new breed of human king who showed
42
distinct signs of mental evolution in the lineage of human-species- leaders. In essence he was the first great king who established the first metropolis on Earth, Babylon. The Code of Law which he laid down in clay was one of the first recorded sets of laws in human history. Hammurabi displayed an uncanny feeling for human rights in the face of his own people's tradition in slavery. He detailed many laws pertaining to slaves. Slaves were allowed to own property, enter into business, and marry free women.
Formal release by the owner was permitted through either self-purchase or adoption. Nevertheless, even by this humanitarian code, the slaves were still considered as merchandise. The ‘Code of the Hittites’, which was applied in western Asia from 1800 to 1400 BC, was even more humane by conceding that a slave was a human being, although of an inferior order. The ancient Israelites experienced slavery in Egypt, while in the Indus Valley the first documented evidence of slavery coincides with the Aryan invasion of about 2000 BC. Indian literature indicates that slavery was allowed throughout India from the 6th century BC to the beginning of the Christian era, but there is no doubt that slavery was alive and well millennia before that.
In ancient Persia, slaves were actually bred for supply purposes for the hungry slave markets. Persian victories in the Aegean islands of Chios, Lesbos, and Tenedos resulted in the enslavement of entire populations. China's entire history is virtually built on a slave culture going all the way back to Huangdi, the ‘Yellow Emperor’ and mystical ancestor of all Chinese, the Xia Dynasty, which started in the 21st century BC. But the first true slave society in history probably only emerged in ancient Greece between the 6th and 4th centuries BC. At the slave markets of Athens, Rhodes, Corinth, and Delos, a thousand slaves would change hands in an afternoon. Just imagine that kind of setup at the San Francisco harbor in 2004... the modern human mind would not be able to cope with such a desecration of human rights.
This must surely be a visible indication of humanity's general state of mental and spiritual evolution. But things were different in Greece 500 years BC. After a major battle, as many as 20,000 captives would go on sale. Some say that Aesop, the legendary story teller, was a freed Greek slave in the 6th century BC. Next in line was Rome, which became even more dependent upon slaves when a form of agricultural slavery called ‘estate slavery’ was introduced. After the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century AD,
43
slavery persisted in Arab lands and in central Europe. Many ‘Slavs’ were captured and taken as slaves to Germany where it seems they retained their derivative name from ‘Slave’. At this stage, slavery across the world was unstoppable and man's cruelty and greed reached unprecedented heights. From the very first day of civilization, man practiced what he was taught by his maker: obsession with gold and keeping slaves. Slave-owning societies continued and included the Ottoman Empire, the Crimean khanate, the Inca Empire in Peru, the Sokoto caliphate, and the Hausa of Nigeria. It extended to the central Asians such as the Mongols, Kazakhs, and various Turkic groups who also kept slaves. As unbelievable as it seems, slavery was even practiced by some native North American Indian people such as the Comanche and the Creek.
Even in Africa there was slavery among its own people. This is how firmly our genetic inheritance is entrenched from our maternal donors, the seven original Anunnaki females who gave birth to the first group of ‘slave species’, but we will find out more about them a little later. African chiefs would first sell off their prisoners to the slave traders from Europe. When these ran out, the chiefs would line up their own criminals and wrong-doers to be sold into slavery. When this was not enough, they would simply grab remote and ignorant villages capturing all and sundry for the slave markets. I hope that this is proof enough of the violent gene and greed gene embedded in our DNA. I do however suspect that there will be many who still have a problem with this concept, so let me take it a bit further. Some men would even sell their wives or children into slavery to pay off their own debts.
This barbaric, genetically inherited behavior reached its apex in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries when an estimated 20 million slaves were captured in Africa and shipped around the world to places like Brazil, Caribbean and North America, while trade within Africa itself continued. The first slaves to have been brought to South Africa came from Angola on board a Dutch ship called the Amersfoort in 1658, only six years after the first settlement by the Dutch at the Cape of Good Hope. And because I am South African, I have a particular interest in the slave history of this beautiful part of the world. So let's use this as a full chronological example. The rest of the world's slave trade between the 15th and 17th centuries evolved in similar ways. According to Mogamat Kamedien, these are the events surrounding the establishment of slavery in South Africa. By the 17th century the slave trade was regarded an ‘honorable and noble’ business in Europe through which many companies generated immense wealth and caused untold misery. As the inhumane
44
elements of this trade started to be exposed by small groups of liberals in the 18th century, many of the so-called honorable businessmen fought their accusations with all their wealth and influence. By the end of the 19thcentury, one by one, the guilty culprits signed various ‘abolition of slavery acts’ under pressure from enlightened activists. Argentina 1813; Colombia 1821; Mexico 1829; South Africa 1834; USA 1865 just to mention a few. It was however only in 1948, when the United Nations released the ‘Proclamation of Human Rights Declaration’, which in essence prohibited slavery worldwide. But the United Nations left a huge loophole in the previous declaration, which took another eight years to rectify. They were forced to add a further declaration which dealt with “slave trade and institutions similar to slavery”.
To most people today this bit of information will come as a horrific shock: how is it possible that slavery was only officially prohibited in 1956 by the so-called ‘free and civilized’ world? Let me remind you of an earlier sentiment which suggests that “if we don't know where we come from, how can we possibly know where we are going?” For as long as people keep their eyes closed to new evidence and their minds poisoned against new possibilities, we will continue to propagate the ‘slave species’ characteristics which our maker so successfully implanted in us. We were created as a slave species and to this day we remain a slave species, held captive by our ignorance, lack of clarity about our human origins and the stunted genome with which our maker has endowed us. Even after the 1956 UN proclamation, the inhumane trade in people did not stop.
11,000 years since the emergence of civilized man nothing has really changed. Saudi Arabia only signed the ‘abolition of slavery act’ in 1963 and Mauritania in 1980. Is it not incredibly ironic that it is once again in Africa, the cradle of man, the birthplace of slavery on Earth, that we find the last place to let go of this abhorrent custom? Slavery is so deeply and firmly rooted in the African ancestry, that it seemingly cannot be escaped. But slavery is still alive and well in the 21st century. It seems that certain parts of our DNA have not evolved at all. In 1988 slaves were sold in Sudan for 30 pounds, and in 1989 China launched a national campaign against the trade in ‘women and children’ slaves. The effort uncovered 9,000 cases of slavery in that year alone. My guess is that this was only the tip of the iceberg in China. In this technologically advanced global village where every sensational event is reported by global networks within seconds; where communication has become child’s play; where we look at Mars rovers with a certain amount of impatience because we want them to do more stuff, and do it quicker... how
45
free are we really? We spoke about economic warfare in earlier chapters, but it should also be referred to as ‘economic slavery’. This applies to individuals as well as poor countries. In this case the conquering armies do not take prisoners as slaves, they simply enslave the entire country economically. The total indebtedness of poor countries to wealthy countries is so incredibly vast, that it most likely can never be repaid.
The strange thing is, that most of the poor countries of the world are those who were raped for slaves by the West for centuries. This rape of many nations understandably resulted in the complete collapse of such countries, that all eventually had to ask for assistance from the aggressor. What a conniving and calculating bunch of ‘civilized’ humans we are.
Today, the slavery principal continues under this economic banner extremely successfully. The poor countries are exploited for cheap labour, they become the dumping grounds of global unwanted produce, deadly unwanted chemicals and nuclear waste, basically continuing to be enslaved on virtually every level; even their terra firma has become enslaved. Their currencies remain weak, their people remain poor and they have no choice but to allow the bullies to abuse them. But the abuse does not always come from outside the borders. The slavery problems in China are potentially nothing to what is brewing right next door in India. The highly discriminating class system called ‘caste’, which originates from the Portuguese casta, meaning breed, race or kind, is still widely practiced throughout India.
Although this form of discrimination is officially prohibited, it is alive and well, serving as a legitimate cultural form of slavery, which holds close to half the population of one billion Indians enslaved in poverty and misery, with virtually no way out. Once you are classified as a Dalit or ‘untouchable’ your lot has been determined for life. It is virtually impossible to elevate yourself to one of the four higher classifications which may make your life more bearable. There are approximately 200 million ‘untouchable’ Dalits in India today. They may not marry anyone from a higher class, they may not use the same amenities as others, they must at all times be invisible to the higher castes, getting out of their way so that not even their shadows may touch in passing. In some situations, towns and villages will insist that Dalits carry a bell to warn any other higher castes of their approaching ‘vile’ presence.

The Modern Slaves
So how free are we really? You may think that because you live in a First World economy you are okay, that you are the master of your own destiny and that you are nobody’s slave. Well, think again. The successful westerners are slaves to their jobs; their boss; their mortgage bond; an array of credit cards; car loan; overdraft and other significant entrapments of society. The modern economies are structured to attract as many consumers as possible, with the promise of some sort of credit. Even your student loan can enslave you for years. Once you are hooked, the onus is squarely on your shoulders to pay the creditor without default. You may tell everyone that “this is your new home”, but the reality is that it actually belongs to the bank.
They just allow you to work your backside off for 20 years, paying them a large sum every month, making nauseating amounts of interest from you in the process. So who is the slave? If you cannot pay, they auction your home at market value, in many cases still leaving you with a large debt to cover. Now that you are really deeply in trouble, they blacklist you, which dramatically reduces your chances for employment, of keeping a bank account, and making back the money which you owe them. The credit card is the same. You pay for your Caribbean trip with your card, feeling very fulfilled. Upon your return, you realize that your company has gone insolvent and the card becomes an instant trap. You have to sell your car to pay off the card and now you can't get around to launch your new business.
The worst and most clandestine form of slavery is the good old student loan. Thousands of companies will give you a student loan with the condition that you work for them to pay it off after graduation. The snag is that they decide on your measly salary as an apprentice, which means that you have to work for them for years while earning very little, essentially becoming extremely cheap labour. This happens year in, year out, around the world to millions of graduates. Basically, our lives revolve around work and money. We behave like confused slaves on this planet, not knowing where we are going... why we are here... and who is really in control? Why are we chasing these castles in the sky? Is there a hidden message here?
47
Could this possibly be a hangover from prehistory, when early man was promised a trip up to god’s castle in the sky... and to live in the house of the maker, but only if he performed valiantly and pleased his master? Really... why are we so caught up in this chase for materialistic rewards, if we know that we can't take it with us?
The answer is simple. We are still slaves living in the 21st century, but our path to this point in time has been so meticulously planned by the ‘gods’ of our prehistory, that we could never expect to recognize the clues or symptoms. Our arrogance prevents us from even believing such wild and extravagant theories because “we are the masters of our own destinies”.
Our entire history is riddled with temptation from a variety of sources. From biblical promises of heavenly wealth and eternal life, to the Sumerian tablets outlining the promises of great reward in the houses of the gods. But only if you behaved, obeyed and performed the tasks that were assigned to you. Is this the seed which has driven man to toil and perform for ever? Is it a hangover reflex response from days gone by, when the Anunnaki gods were still on Earth? It certainly smacks of something which eludes us to this day. After all, we are the slave species and so we shall behave. All that has happened in the past few thousand years, is that we confused the reason with motive, which has resulted in the continuous frantic chase for material stuff. We want to accumulate and hoard. There is so much baggage and disinformation piled up in our human subconscious, that we cannot possibly begin to unravel it without huge amounts of investigation and especially introspection.
Because the messages we are discovering from our distant ancestors are not the fairy-tales we expected to hear. The people of the ‘free’ western world are enslaved economically, culturally and religiously. But if you ask them, they will deny it. We are enslaved to our jobs, our banks and our governments. If you don't pay your tax, you will go to jail. This blissful ignorance is exactly what the ‘maker’ had planned. The Tower of Babel incident was a wonderful example of how the gods conspired to keep humanity enslaved through their ignorance. The Sumerian scriptures make similar references to the incident as is described in the Bible, where the gods had decided that man had grown too wise and was speaking one ‘language’. The use of the word ‘language’ could be metaphorical for knowledge. The gods felt that if they left man to his own devices, he would be capable of anything.
48
This posed a big threat to the gods, when suddenly Humankind displayed the potential to stand up against their maker and oppressor. At that point the gods decided to “go down from their heavenly abode and confuse their language”, which they did. It is not exactly clear what they did to humans, but it certainly extended the slave mentality for millennia. What is very interesting however, is that Genesis 10 ends with the sons and descendants of Noah, scattering around the world, belonging to different clans and speaking different languages. Then suddenly, Genesis 11 starts with the following statements.
The Tower of Babel Genesis 11: 1 - 9
“Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. They said to each other, ‘Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly.’ They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, ‘Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth.’ But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. The LORD said, ‘If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.’ So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.” This entire passage smacks of a ‘master-slave’ relationship.
This is virtually a copy of the Sumerian tablets where the gods were also very unhappy that the slaves were making rapid progress, gaining knowledge and showing signs of higher intelligence.
It's fairly plain to read between the lines that ‘god the master’ panicked and took the necessary steps to prevent people from gaining skills and knowledge. The principle of ‘divide and conquer’ was implemented very
49
successfully among the emerging human threat. The simple fact that the sons of the gods were having children with the daughters of man was a huge problem. The ‘new human offspring’ were even more intelligent than their human mothers, because they had more of the gods’ DNA which allowed them to achieve more and evolve quicker.
Genesis 6:1-4:
"When men began to increase on earth and daughters were born to them, the divine beings saw how beautiful the daughters of men were and took wives from among those that pleased them. The LORD said, ‘My breath shall not abide in man forever, since he too is flesh; let the days allowed him be one hundred and twenty years.’ It was then, and later too, that the Nephilim appeared on earth - when the divine beings cohabited with the daughters of men, who bore them offspring. They were the heroes of old, the men of renown."
There is no doubt that the fathers who were the sons of the gods also contributed to the technological know-how of their children. We can deduce from this kind of activity on Earth, that man's evolution was speeded up rapidly, which went against the explicit wishes of the ruling gods. They wanted to keep ‘man’ stupid. So, it is of particular interest that in Genesis 6 verse 7, god suddenly became ‘plural’ and plans to go down with some of his associates to sort out this problem. “Come let us go down and confuse their language.”
Who was god talking to and who went down with him? And why would god look unfavorably on human technological progress? Why would god not want his special creation, man, to be able to do ‘other’ things. Why would god be so freaked out with man's rapid advancement? The Tower of Babel incident was preceded by an earlier attempt to get rid of humans because they were already posing a prior threat to the gods. Once again this indicates an ultimate act of oppression maintained over the slave species.
For some reason the gods decided that their creation ‘man’ was evil and that all he knew was evil; that's pretty much how the Bible puts it. I sense that the gods had had enough of the humans and realized that they had created a ‘monster’ which could rise up and bite them. The Sumerian tablets tell the story of an impending tidal wave that would destroy most of humanity, especially those who lived near the coastal areas. In December 2004, we saw
50
how easily 300,000 people died from a relatively small Tsunami in large parts of the world. Imagine what a 100-meter high tidal wave could do to the world. But the Anunnaki already knew of such a giant wave which would sweep the Earth as a result of their planet Nibiru coming back into close proximity to the world. So they decided that they would allow this wave to destroy humanity and in one fell swoop help them to take care of their growing human problem. It is estimated that there were four million of the slave species on Earth by this stage, far outnumbering the gods. This made the gods very nervous, so they would allow the slaves whom they created, to be destroyed because their behavior was showing signs of uncontrollable intelligence. Did the slaves start asking too many questions? Did they start evolving too quickly and were they absorbing advanced technical knowledge without the gods’ permission?
It certainly seems that way. By now you must have figured out that I am of the opinion that the Bible cannot be trusted, no matter how emotional we get about it. It is surrounded with so much controversy and there is no absolute proof who the real authors were, and under what influence they wrote those brutal descriptions of events of their times. Furthermore, because most of the Old Testament is a diluted version of Sumerian tablets and other ancient texts, it is therefore a paradox in itself that I am using the Bible as a major source of reference. This, my friends, is purely to demonstrate the inconsistency and fanatical obsession bestowed on this book by those who so dearly worship it. By the time we reach the story of the biblical flood, I would like to reason that the Anunnaki gods did not count on the rapid evolution of the human brain, which is why the gods wanted the growing number of humans to be destroyed in the flood.
In short, the human slaves were suddenly a potential threat to the gods. But one of the two leading gods, Enki, was much closer to the humans than his cold-hearted brother Enlil. Because Enki had worked with the human slaves in the African mines for millennia, he took pity on the humans and warned Ziusudra (Noah) of the impending disaster. He gave him strict instructions on what to do, to save his friends and family and his livestock. It turns out that this was not just a random gesture of mercy, but Ziusudra was actually Enki's son with an Earthling female. This was the real motive behind his actions. The Bible puts it slightly differently. “God saw that everything man did was evil.” Suddenly all the people on Earth were 'vile and evil' and god decided to punish them. Is it possible that the story recorded in the Bible came from an opposing point of view, from Enki's brother Enlil, who was in command of
51
the planet and its people? Enlil never really liked the slave species and this provided him with a perfect opportunity to destroy them. What could all the people on Earth have possibly done that was so vile and evil, to have enraged god so much, that he plotted to destroy all of them? The fascinating thing is that the flood story has been told in most of the ancient cultures which pre- date the biblical story of Noah. So which one of them is more accurate and factual? My guess is that it should be the oldest one. This should make the Sumerian flood story about Enki and Enlil and Ziusudra the most credible story. And this is where the plot thickens even further.
The sons of the Anunnaki gods, who were also referred to as the Nefilim, were prohibited from having intercourse with the human females for fear of creating a new subspecies, which would be more intelligent, and a potential threat to the Anunnaki. We have heard about them before, even in the Bible. But the sons of the gods were young and restless on Earth, showing the usual signs of rebellious youth. They obviously disobeyed the instructions, especially when they saw how sexual the daughters of man were. Both the Sumerian scripts and the Bible tell us explicitly what happened next. ‘God’ decided to pull the ultimate act of supremacy over his disobedient slave species, which was to destroy all of them. This would allow him to clear the slate and start again with no loose ends and especially no disobedient and nosey humans. This is how the Bible describes it:
The Flood Genesis 6:4-18
“The Nephilim were on the earth in those days... when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. So the LORD said, ‘I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the... of the earth...’
But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD .
This is the account of Noah:
Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he
52
walked with God. Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth. Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight and was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. So God said to Noah, ‘I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth... I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens... Everything on earth will perish. But I will establish my covenant with you...’”Now there is a wonderfully ironic example of favoritism by the all-loving ‘god’, who made ‘all’ people equal. Suddenly Noah was his favorite one, and the only kosher guy on the face of the Earth. This is a little too rich for me... there must have been some other motive and the motive I place before you makes much more sense that any others I have read.
That is especially in light of the inconsistency in the story when viewed from the two brother-gods’ point of view, which presents us with a juicy bit of circumstantial evidence as to what exactly may have happened. We had two distinct personalities in Enlil and Enki with opposing views on the slave species. Enki wanted to save man, therefore he warned Noah (Ziusudra), who also happened to be his earthling son, but he warned more than just Noah. Therefore the biblical entry which proclaims Noah to be the only righteous man on Earth makes no sense. This is where it gets really interesting, because it feels as if this part of the biblical story was written only after the event of the flood, from the perspective of Enlil, who suddenly realized that he had failed in his quest to wipe out the human race. This failure to dispose of the troublesome human population forced Enlil to alter his entire story, hiding the fact that he had failed.
It really feels like a lot of sour grapes to me and the entries in the Bible were written so as to hide the fact that god had failed in destroying the vile and evil humans, but instead he found one ‘righteous’ man. After the flood, Enki took humans under his wing and started to teach them all the necessities of a civilized community, at which point we witness the emergence of sudden global civilization around 11,000 BC. But their rapid evolution scared Enlil, especially when the humans built the tower of Babel in an attempt to reach their gods in the sky. So, it was probably the spiteful Enlil who destroyed the tower and caused them to scatter over the world in another attempt to slow down their progress. They were after all, his creation, his slaves and he could do with them as he pleased. It may come as a surprise to learn that there are literally hundreds of ‘Flood Stories’ in early human history.
53
SUMERIAN FLOOD STORY
Neo-Sumerian on clay, this is mankind's oldest reference to the Deluge, together with a tablet in Philadelphia, the only other tablet bearing this story in Sumerian. In this transcript Ziusudra, the Sumerian Noah, is described as “the priest of Enki”, which is new information. Other tablets outline that he is actually the son of Enki.
The Sumerian flood story is the oldest forerunner to the Biblical account of the flood. (Genesis 6:5-9:29) According to the British Museum, their ‘Neo- Babylonian’ tablet with the Flood story as a part of the ‘Epic of Gilgamesh’, is the most famous tablet in the world. The tablet shown here is over 1,000 years older than the one in the British Museum.
54
ENLIL DECIDES TO DESTROY Humankind WITH A FLOOD
The Atra-Hasis epic is the Babylonian flood story written in Old Babylonian on clay in Babylonia circa 1900 BC in cuneiform script. When the Neo- Babylonian account of the flood story as part of the ‘Gilgamesh Epic’ was discovered in the 19 th century, it caused a sensation. It turned out that this was an abbreviated account extracted from the Old Babylonian Atra-Hasis epic, written some 1,000 years earlier.
The flood is the climax of the whole story in which the gods created the human race to take over the hard labour on Earth. They were created with the power to reproduce, but were condemned to die as a result of age. The human race multiplied and made such a noise that the chief Sumerian god, Enlil, could not sleep. He therefore plotted to reduce their numbers, first by plague, then by famine.
In each case the god Ea (Enki), who was mainly responsible for creating the human race, frustrated the plan. Enlil then got all the gods to swear to co- operate in exterminating the whole human race in an impending flood. This failed because Enki saved his favorite, Ziusudra, by allowing him to build an ark and so save the human race and the animals. This tablet starts after the famine attempt by the gods had just failed, Enlil plotted against Humankind and came up with another plan.
Partial tablet translation:
55
“...THEY BROKE THE COSMIC BARRIER! - THE FLOOD WHICH YOU MENTIONED, WHOSE IS IT? - THE GODS COMMANDED TOTAL DESTRUCTION! ENLIL DID AN EVIL DEED ON THE PEOPLE! THEY COMMANDED IN THE ASSEMBLY OF THE GODS, BRINGING A FLOOD FOR A LATER DAY, ‘LET US DO THE DEED!’ ATRA-HASIS...”
This is a good time to take a look at some of the other flood stories from around the world, to see the incredible similarities in these stories which were written on different continents, thousands of miles apart, by ‘primitive’ people, hundreds of years apart. Does that not ring very loud alarm bells with you? Mark Isaak has compiled an incredible collection of these stories at www. talkorigins.org and I would urge you to see his website for truly captivating reading. Here are a few excerpts:
Greek:
“Zeus sent a flood to destroy the men of the Bronze Age. Prometheus advised his son Deucalion to build a chest. All other men perished except for a few who escaped to high mountains. When the rains ceased, he sacrificed to Zeus, the God of Escape.
An older version of the story told by Hellanicus has Deucalion's ark landing on Mount Othrys in Thessaly. Another account has him landing on a peak, probably Phouka, in Argolis, later called Nemea.” “The Megarians told that Megarus, son of Zeus, escaped Deucalion's flood by swimming to the top of Mount Gerania, guided by the cries of cranes.”
“An earlier flood was reported to have occurred in the time of Ogyges, founder and king of Thebes. The flood covered the whole world and was so devastating that the country remained without kings until the reign of Cecrops.”
Roman:
“Jupiter, angered at the evil ways of humanity, resolved to destroy it. He was about to set the earth to burning, but considered that that might set heaven itself afire, so he decided to flood the earth instead. With Neptune's help, he caused storm and earthquake to flood everything but the summit of
56
Parnassus, where Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha came by boat and found refuge. Recognizing their piety, Jupiter let them live and withdrew the flood. Deucalion and Pyrrha, at the advice of an oracle, repopulated the world by throwing ‘your mother's bones’ (stones) behind them; each stone became a person.”
Scandinavian:
“Oden, Vili, and Ve fought and slew the great ice giant Ymir, and icy water from his wounds drowned most of the Rime Giants. The giant Bergelmir escaped, with his wife and children, on a boat. Ymir's body became the world we live on.”
Celtic:
“Heaven and Earth were great giants, and Heaven lay upon the Earth so that their children were crowded between them, and the children and their mother were unhappy in the darkness. The boldest of the sons led his brothers in cutting up Heaven into many pieces. From his skull they made the firmament. His spilling blood caused a great flood which killed all humans except a single pair, who were saved in a ship made by a beneficent Titan.”
Welsh:
“The lake of Llion burst, flooding all lands. Dwyfan and Dwyfach escaped in a mastless ship with pairs of every sort of living creature. They landed in Prydain (Britain) and repopulated the world.”
There are many flood stories such as Lithuanian, German, Turkish, Vogul, Egyptian and Persian. Even the Koran (11:25-48) refers to the flood, adding that the Earth swallowed the water, and the boat came to rest on a mountain called Al-Judi, and one of Noah's disbelieving sons drowned in the flood. An apocryphal scripture tells us how Adam instructed that his body, together with gold, incense, and myrrh, should be taken aboard the Ark and, after the flood, should be laid in the middle of the Earth. God would come from thence and save mankind (Platt, p. 66, 80 and 2 Adam 8:9-18, 21:7-11). Here we are really mixing the history of Humankind. Wasn't Adam dead by then? How would he know that a flood was looming to give such instructions?
57
The Babylonian tale is virtually identical to the Sumerian story and even the Chaldean story is filled with Sumerian influence. Remember that the Sumerian Noah was called Ziusudra:
“The god Chronos in a vision warned Xisuthrus of a coming flood, ordered him to write a history and bury it in Sippara, and told him to build and provision a vessel (5 stadia by 2 stadia) for himself, his friends and relations, and all kinds of animals, all of which he did. After the flood had come and abated somewhat, he sent out some birds, which returned. Later, he tried again, and the birds returned with mud on their feet. On the third trial, the birds didn't return. He disembarked in the Corcyraean mountains in Armenia and, with his wife, daughter, and pilot, offered sacrifices to the gods.”
The Zoroastrian story:
“After Ahura Mazda has warned Yima that destruction in the form of winter, frost, and floods, subsequent to the melting of the snow, are threatening the sinful world, he proceeds to instruct him to build a vara, ‘fortress or estate’, in which specimens of small and large cattle, human beings, dogs, birds, red flaming fires, plants and foodstuffs will have to be deposited in pairs.” (Dresden, p. 344) What all these stories really point to is a time and place when the gods of Heaven and Earth conspired to wipe out all of humanity. Why? Because they were showing signs of independence, intelligence and possible rebellion against their makers. I have presented you with their motives which have been expanded on by many scholars in numerous studies of the Sumerian tablets and other ancient scriptures. But there is one story in the Bible which in my humble opinion supersedes all the others in presenting evidence of god’s manipulation of humanity. This is the story of Abraham, his son Isaac and Sodom and Gomorra. It reads like a plot from a Hollywood mafia movie, where certain people are set up to have their loyalty tested, before they can be trusted by the ‘godfather’ to perform certain acts which are not necessarily always kosher.
Ask any writer and they will confirm that the plot laid out in this particular story of the Bible has the perfect structure for a screen play, which includes a ‘good-cop-bad-cop’ situation, planting seeds of suspicion and distrust, while demanding absolute loyalty: a code of silence and obedience.
58
These events are perfect examples of a ‘master-slave’ relationship, with a constant undertone of possible violence to be inflicted on the slave if he should step out of line. It has perfectly crafted moments of transparent leniency and hints of empty compassion towards the slaves who are perpetually filled with mortal fear. It all starts with the ‘god-master’ setting up his slave for personal conflict by evicting his mistress. The slave is Abraham, the mistress is Hagar. Abraham’s wife Sarah supports this move as Hagar is a real threat to her because Hagar had given birth to a son of Abraham, who will become a competitor to her own son. But the clever twist lies in that the god-master tells Abraham to evict Hagar personally. By doing this, the master tests his slave’s loyalty and he drives a wedge between him and the mistress. No sooner has Hagar been left to die in the desert, than the god-master comes to the rescue of the evicted young slave girl and her newborn son, winning her undivided loyalty, spreading the word of the loving, benevolent god.
The Sacrifice of Isaac
This famous painting by Rembrandt van Rijn depicts the Old Testament story that epitomizes the brutality of the biblical god. It was this very god who ordered Abraham to take his son Isaac to a distant mountain, far from the peering eyes of others, and murder him in cold blood. All this, simply to determine if Abraham – essentially god’s first ‘snitch’ – could be trusted to obey god’s orders.
Genesis 22: 1 -18. The Sacrifice of Isaac by Abraham:
59
“Now it came about after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, ‘Abraham!’ And he said, ‘Here I am.’ He said, ‘Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you.’ So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him and Isaac his son; and he split wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him. On the third day Abraham raised his eyes and saw the place from a distance. Abraham said to his young men, ‘Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there; and we will worship and return to you.’ Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son, and he took in his hand the fire and the knife.
So the two of them walked on together. Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, ‘My father!’ And he said, ‘Here I am, my son.’ And he said, ‘Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?’ Abraham said, ‘God will provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.’ So the two of them walked on together. Then they came to the place of which God had told him; and Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood, and bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, ‘Abraham, Abraham!’ And he said, ‘Here I am.’ He said, ‘Do not stretch out your hand against the lad, and do nothing to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.’
Then Abraham raised his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up for a burnt offering in the place of his son. Abraham called the name of that place The LORD Will Provide, as it is said to this day, ‘In the mount of the LORD it will be provided. ’ Then the angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time from heaven, and said, ‘By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son, indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies. In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.’” This is surely the most malicious manipulation of early man by the gods to establish his loyalty. It also provided a model for the gods with which they could exercise future control over their human subjects, while
60
promising their loyal and obedient humans rich rewards. You have to see through all the grandstanding, posturing and impressive narrative in the Old Testament, to recognize the absolute fear under which the people lived at all times. The gods were bloodthirsty and ruthless manipulators. But they had a very good reason to behave this way: man had grown visibly unhappy with their abuse, and man was beginning to form groups of resistance, which were led by rebellious gods like Marduk, the son of Enki. At this point, building up to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorra, Marduk had officially revolted against his commanding god Enlil, developing a huge global following among humans, as he promised them life after death. He also proclaimed himself as ‘god above all’. People who were thought to be in any way involved in such activity against the ruling gods, would be classified as vile and evil, committing unspeakable acts of sin against god, and they would be punished severely.
It is not quite clear whether it was Enlil who committed the gruesome acts of violence against humans, but the evidence seems to point towards Marduk, as he grew more and more desperate to take control of the world. Marduk devised his own plan to control his human worshippers with fear and intimidation. After all, it had worked perfectly well until then. His ‘recruitment campaign’ began shortly before the rise of the Egyptian empire and lasted way beyond the events at Sodom. Marduk travelled the whole world, wherever other gods had settled, proclaiming himself as ‘god above all’. It worked especially well in the biblical lands including Egypt, where the origins of the Bible are set. And so began the calculated recorded manipulation of Humankind by the so-called ‘god of vengeance’ of the Old Testament.
Compare this behavior to that of some notorious dictators many years later like Stalin, Mao and Hitler and you will see there is not much difference. ‘Like father, like son.’ The gods have taught us well and their inherited DNA is clearly visible in our actions even today. We will see some support for this in a few choice extracts from the Bible. Meanwhile, the early activists against Enlil would congregate in places where they would not be easily spotted by potential gossipers and spies. The resistance kept on growing among the humans, and activists were plotting various ways to overcome the brutal gods. It is also clear that certain towns and cities became strongholds of the early revolutionaries, possibly inspired by the very early ‘thinkers’ among humans, or the philosophers who became so highly admired in latter days. Two such cities were Sodom and Gomorra. So while Enlil was nurturing
61
Abraham into a loyal general, other kings saw that the instability among humans was on the rise and realized that there was serious trouble brewing. It must have been common knowledge that humans were growing increasingly unhappy with their gods and the resistance was gaining momentum. Abraham and his followers were constantly manipulated and brainwashed by the gods with stories that the world was full of ‘sinful and evil’ people. Do me a favor!... How is this possible? How was it possible that suddenly it was only Abraham and his clan who were okay in god's eyes while mostly everyone else was evil, involved in unacceptably sinful behavior which meant that they had to be destroyed? Ask yourself again... what could those people have been doing that was so evil? What could they have been scheming that meant the total annihilation of two entire cities? Did the almighty and loving god not have other means at his disposal? Just imagine this kind of behavior today.
Even in outright war situations, the aggressor usually never obliterates entire cities. The humanitarian element elects not to harm innocent women and children. It is mainly the soldiers who are targets in war situations. I must rush to add that although this kind of annihilation is pretty much what George W. Bush did in Afghanistan and Iraq, there were however many survivors. The kind of annihilation that describes the events at Sodom and Gomorra, was much more malicious, with a clear intent to kill all living things in those two cities. Abraham must have become a highly dubious person in the lands through which he moved, so much so, that even kings started to suck up to him in anticipation of the gods' possible retaliation against them. But his unshakable loyalty to his gods brought Abraham rich rewards of all sorts and made him a very wealthy man. His nephew Lot was an active participant in all of this and played a crucial role in delivering information to Abraham, which would in turn be conveyed to the gods and ‘angels’ when they came calling and snooping around for information.
Genesis 13:2-15
“Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. And he journeyed on from the Negeb as far as Bethel to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai, to the place where he had made an altar at the first. And there Abram called upon the name of the LORD. And Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents, so that the land could not support both of them dwelling together; for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together... ‘Is not the
62
whole land before you? Separate yourself from me. If you take the left hand, then I will go to the right, or if you take the right hand, then I will go to the left.’ And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw that the Jordan Valley was well watered everywhere like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zoar (This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorra.). So Lot chose for himself all the Jordan Valley, and Lot journeyed east. Thus they separated from each other. Abram settled in Canaan, while Lot settled among the cities of the valley and moved his tent as far as Sodom. Now the men of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the LORD.”
This was a cunning plan by the gods, to send Lot right into the heart of Sodom and settle down there, while providing his uncle with information about the growing movement of the resistance by the so-called ‘vile and wicked’ humans. Then the gods once again reminded Abraham what his reward would be if he did not disappoint them. “The LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, ‘Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward, for all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever... ”To illustrate how nervous the kings in the surrounding lands must have been of Abraham, here is an extract where one such king tries to secure his future with Abraham, the ‘blue-eyed’ boy of the gods, by doing what politicians have been doing forever, sucking up to the guys with money and power:
Abram Blessed by Melchizedek:
“After his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley). And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was priest of God Most High.) And he blessed him and said, ‘Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!’”
It is painfully clear that everyone was very nervous of the tenuous situation in the land, expecting something major to happen at any minute. There was much activity with gods coming and going all the time, appearing to various people, giving instructions and inflicting harm to potential enemies. And on the ground there must have been much activity among the revolutionaries, which we can tell from the constant references in the Bible to the “evil and vile and sinful” men everywhere. There is a distinct paranoia in the tone with
63
which the accusations keep recurring. The people and the kings of the lands also knew Abraham’s close relationship with the brutal gods, while the manipulation of Abraham continued.
Genesis 15:
“God's Covenant with Abram states: ‘After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.’”
But all this activity was just a build-up for the biggest event of them all, when the gods maliciously planned and executed a full onslaught on Sodom and Gomorra, the safe haven of the revolutionaries under the influence of Marduk, the rebellious god among the Anunnaki. Their slave Abraham had become a devoted and loyal servant who would do anything for his gods. God told Abraham that “the outcry against Sodom and Gomorra was great and the accusations against them were grievous”. Then god said he had decided to “come down and verify” and if it was so, he would destroy them completely. What basically transpired here is: The gods instructed Abraham to go to the cities and spy on the people. Obviously the Bible describes the action very differently, and Abraham is seen to be sent on a mission from god, to identify any virtuous people who may live in those cities, said to be crawling with evil and vile sinners. And as history books are always written by the victors, we know very little about the people of Sodom and Gomorra, besides what the propaganda passages of the Bible declare.
After all, the events were recorded by the victors who were grossly indoctrinated by the manipulative gods. Back with Abraham: Three ‘angels’ appeared to him. He raised his eyes and behold, there were three men with him. Isn't this bloody marvelous! These snoopy ‘angels’ always seem to appear when there is trouble brewing, or just before the shit is about to hit the fan. Abraham obviously recognized them immediately because he bowed his head and pleaded with them. One can clearly see the fearful ‘slave and servant’ mentality in this passage. Two of them were ‘angels’ who must have carried some sort of weapons which they used later to protect themselves, and believe it or not, the third one was 'god' himself in person, telling Abraham what must happen. The Old Testament called the angels ‘malachim’ which literally translates as ‘emissaries who carry divine commands and messages from god’. They made it very clear to Abraham that unless he can produce 50 virtuous men, from the inhabitants of the two cities, the cities will

be decimated. This is what really puzzles me and what drives my theory that Abraham was weaned to be a spy for them. Why should they tell Abraham this? Why should he be the one to produce 50 righteous men to save the cities? It could only be because he was asked to snoop around and report back to the gods. They have now come to seek the results of his snooping. At first Abraham showed a hint of a humanity and pleaded with the gods not to kill everyone, for there may be ‘some virtuous or obedient’ people there. God seems to agree with this sentiment and promises not to kill everyone as long as Abraham can find “even one” virtuous person in all of those cities. What is happening here is clearly a setup for failure. The gods have a non-negotiable plan to wipe out these rebels in these ‘sinful’ cities and Abraham is their spy.
The other curious event is that Abraham's nephew Lot, actually moved into Sodom prior to this and it is probably he who was leaking information about the ‘evil sinful people’ of the city, to his uncle. So when the ‘angel warriors’ arrived at the city gate they found Lot waiting for them. This is another little curiosity pointing to premeditation. He took them to his house where they washed and ate, but the word spread like fire through Sodom that the violent angels were at Lot’s house, coming to attack them. Once again it is evident that the residents of Sodom recognized the two ‘angels’ immediately. Could it be because they had been seen doing this before? Just another one of their regular appearances during which they inflicted pain and death on the people? Or was it because they were dressed differently, which included carrying deadly weapons, way beyond the humans’ understanding?
Clearly this was a perfect opportunity for the people of Sodom to lynch the angels and have some level of revenge, even though it would have been on a small scale. Pandemonium broke out as the activists were joined by young and old, demanding that the angels come out. There must have been a lot of heated commotion and adrenalin flowing because this type of situation did not present itself often. This was the perfect trigger for the violent gods to react. It was all the proof they needed to confirm that all the people of Sodom were indeed evil sinners who needed to be destroyed. The angels came out and “smote the people with blindness, so they could not see”. Then they told Lot to gather all his family members and get out of the city as they were about to destroy it. Lot did his best to round them up but he was met with disbelief and ridicule. In the end it was only his wife and two daughters who fled the city with him, under cover of darkness. The following is the most amazing revelation of awesome weaponry and deadly force that the ‘angels’ possessed. The ‘angels’ told Lot, “Escape for thy life, look not behind thee,
65
neither stop thou anywhere in the plain... unto the mountains escape lest thou perish.” Basically meaning, get the hell out of here... get to the mountains and hide in the caves... well out of sight! Then the most remarkable thing happened. Lot pleaded with them to delay the destruction of Sodom long enough for him to reach the town of Zoar, which seemed to be far enough from Sodom. The ‘angels of death’ urged Lot to hurry for they could not unleash their deadly weapons until he arrived there safely. The description which follows in the Bible can only be compared to a nuclear holocaust. And so it must have been. The cities, the people, the vegetation; everything was ‘upheavaled’ by the power of the angels’ awesome weapons. The heat and fire scorched everything in its path. Its radiation and pressure wave affected people some distance away. Why was Lot told not to look back and to hide out of sight?
An explosion of such magnitude would certainly blind one as quickly as a million welding torches would, while the radiation with the pressure wave and the heat would incinerate life for miles away. This is exactly what happened to the disobedient and inquisitive wife of Lot. The explosions behind them must have been the most spectacular and frightening thing they had ever heard. She must have turned back from sheer inquisitiveness to see the destruction... this was not a wise move. The biblical Hebrew version relays that she was turned into “a pillar of salt”. But as Zecharia Sitchin points out, it was incorrectly translated – the proper translation should be ‘a pillar of vapor’. That is pretty much what one would expect from a nuclear blast.
The destruction by the violent angels did not stop there. Once again we find evidence that Lot may have been spying on other people in other cities, as he made his way from one to the other, but for some reason he was not allowed to stay. Could this be because the citizens were familiar with Lot and his close links to the gods? Could it be that they simply did not want Lot around? Were they scared of a similar fate to that of Sodom? The angels of death followed Lot from town to town, destroying them one by one in the same fashion as Sodom. I ask you to evaluate the situation again. What on Earth were the people of those cities accused of to deserve such severe punishment from our ‘ever-loving’ god? I will not settle for the schizophrenic story portrayed in the Bible, even if you do threaten me with nuclear weapons! This is not my God behaving in such a distinctly barbaric way. The anger of the innocent people throughout the lands must have boiled over, which only fuelled the revolutionaries, causing thousands more to join the loud protests
66
against the violent gods everywhere. The angels had no need to look for troublemakers, the cities must have risen up in rebellion against them one by one. The gods simply responded with what they knew best – violence, death and destruction of their disobedient slaves. What all this activity points to is my underlying theory that much of this violent global activity has everything to do with our human DNA, which we inherited from our godly makers, and the evolution thereof. As this human drama unfolds, I am changing my opinion rapidly about the state of evolution of the Anunnaki. The evidence is mounting rapidly that they were probably not much more evolved than we are today. If you look at some of the human rights hurdles we have crossed in the past few decades on Earth, it certainly seems that we may have already surpassed their level of evolution on human rights issues.
I make this statement in the light that we have successfully passed a United Nations law against slavery, while the Anunnaki created an entirely new slave species some 200,000 years ago. What has bothered me about this whole chain of events is their lack of vision and their seeming ignorance of the repercussions. At first, I believed the Anunnaki to have had perfect genomes which allowed them to perform superhuman activities, live forever and perform amazing genetic manipulations. But then I look at how we have advanced in genetic engineering and cloning, and I realize that we have the same capability today, as they had when they arrived on Earth some 450,000 years ago. In many ways, we humans, the miserable ‘slave species’ of the gods, are at a similar level in space travel as the Anunnaki were all those years ago, and before long we WILL be colonizing Mars.
Ask yourself this question. Will our ‘human rights charter’ allow the pioneers on Mars to clone a new sub-species of humans as a lowly worker, with fewer rights than the astronaut settlers? Or will the Mars settlers be allowed to clone a slave species to do all the dirty work, and to be treated as lesser humans? I don't think so. But while we display high levels of sensitivity towards human rights today, our violent genes are still causing havoc among humanity. On that front we have a long way to evolve or to possibly treat this violent imperfection with genetic manipulation in the future. This brings me back to the issue of how evolved the Anunnaki genome might have been when they created us. It is now very clear that their intentions were to create a less intelligent humanoid; one who is smart enough to take instructions, but at the same time ignorant and subservient enough not to challenge his maker.
To achieve this they realized that cloning their own species was not going to do the trick, as it would give the offspring an equal genetic capacity to
67
themselves. The obvious answer to the problem was to cross their own more evolved DNA with that of the Homo erectus, a resident species here on Earth. Although the Anunnaki did possess enough knowledge of genetics to clone a number of possible beings, it's much clearer now, that they probably also had to switch off or disconnect some of the important genes in the proposed slave species, in order to prevent certain advanced characteristics. Sitchin's translations of Sumerian tablets tell us in great detail about how they tried and tried again to get the egg to fertilize in the surrogate females and allow the clone to grow into a healthy baby. They describe the Homo erectus as “Among the animals on the steppe they live, they know not dressing in garments... Shaggy with hair is their whole body... No creature like that has ever in Edin been seen.”
Then they tell us exactly what the purpose of the new creature will be: “A primitive worker shall be created... Our commands will he understand... Our tools he will handle... The toil in the excavations he shall perform.” There are a number of lamentations about their despair as they failed on several attempts to create the ‘primitive worker’. “We must try once more... The admixture needs adjusting... In the crystal bowl the oval of an earth female she inseminated... There was conception... This one more in the likeness of the Anunnaki was.” But their attempts failed on many occasions before they created the perfect species. “Again and again Ninmah rearranged the admixtures” and finally, the result was ‘almost’ perfect. The birth of ‘Adamu’ was met with great excitement by the Anunnaki, but soon they would face many new unexpected problems.
The main hurdle they needed to cross then, was to tame the wild animal behavior of the new slave species, which naturally caused them to rebel against any kind of confinement or oppression. The other hurdle was to instil a sense of loyalty, subservience, obedience and especially fear, into the new slave species. And so we meet the vengeful, bloodthirsty, strict ‘creator-god’ of humanity. He dishes out a code of strict instructions, and he rewards obedience with gifts and leniency, while dispensing harsh pain and suffering to those who disobey his word. While it may sound unbelievable, it was virtually a foolproof plan. Just look at how fearful we still are of the god of vengeance. Now we return to the concept of slavery and how free we think we really are in the 21st century.

THE CREATION OF ADAM
A representation of a Mesopotamian cylinder seal showing the creation of Adam, the first test-tube baby. We see a goddess holding Adam while the others in the laboratory are preparing the DNA mixture and holding up a test-tube of sorts. Notice the Tree-of-Life prominently displayed behind the goddess.
As always, just when you think you know it all, a new door opens to reveal just how little you really know. When I started researching the global history of slavery, I uncovered spine-chilling tales of hardship and misery of such proportion, and stories so unbelievable, that it could make one lose complete faith in humanity. But then I reminded myself of the very simple idea that I am trying to share with you in this book. So let me remind you once again, before I share some of the horrors of modern day slavery with you...
we were created as a slave species... we are still a slave species... displaying all the behavioral characteristics of a slave species.
There is simply no getting away from the overwhelming evidence surrounding us and filling the pages of our pre-history. It is interesting to compare the ‘slave rules’ in the code of law by King Hammurabi from Babylon, some 4,100 years ago, to the plight of sweatshop workers in Chinese factories today. To get the real effect of these modern sweatshops, let me remind you that many of the world’s largest consumer brands are now
69
manufactured in China under despicable, inhumane conditions. These are the new slave markets of the modern civilized world. Even though these factories have received loads of publicity exposing them for violating human rights in ways that we cannot even imagine, all the flag-waving, banner-bearing and chanting liberals in the West keep buying the products that come from these eastern slave markets. What they cannot see, does not affect them, so the gluttonous consumers of the West will continue to consume in ever-growing numbers, propagating the growth of the invisible slave trade of the East. The USA and Europe are clearly the main culprits by virtue of the sheer numbers in the so-called First World countries, while the Asian market just carries on consuming the brands which enslave their relatives. So now that I got that off my chest, let's take a look at a Chinese sweatshop worker's lament, together with a few more nasty revelations about our humanity:
SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONES, often called ‘FINE ZONES’.
One popular method of enslaving workers is the system of imposing fines.
SIDE TRACKING: Yellow lines are marked on the floor; if workers step outside the yellow lines, they are fined.
OVERTIME: Most factories fix a time limit for going to the toilet, usually 3-5 minutes. If they stay longer than the limit, they will be fined.
GOING TO THE TOILET WITHOUT PERMIT:
In some factories, workers have to get a permit tag from the supervisor to go to the toilet. The problem is that there are usually only a few tags for large numbers of workers, mostly women. Over and above these, there are many other ‘creative’ excuses used to impose fines, such as ‘not willing to work overtime’ and ‘not greeting the general manager’. The high wages promised to workers in these ‘fine zone factories’ are mostly eroded to one-third or even less by all the fines imposed. In extreme cases, workers end up in debt to the factory by the end of the month. It is said that the Matsushita (National/Panasonic) Co. Ltd. in Zhuhai City, has the following warning system of yellow cards. First yellow card is a fine of Rmb 20, the second card Rmb 40, the third time, Rmb 80 and the fourth time they receive a yellow card they are fired. Reasons for receiving a yellow card include basic acts such as talking at work, not putting their name tags in the correct position.
70
I ask you again. How is this possible? How did primitive man suddenly come up with the concept of slavery? And how can modern man try to justify the continued use of forced labour still today? We can now draw a very clear line in human history and find a point when slavery first emerged. As amazing as it may seem, slavery amongst humans emerged at the same time as the sudden ‘civilization’ around 11,000 BC. Soon after the deluge, the Great Flood, Humankind began to enslave each other, doing what they were born into, and what seemed to come quite naturally. Many will argue that we have not evolved at all since then, that we have actually gone backwards. I must agree to a certain extent that dark oppressive cults and religious dogma are of great concern, and are in some ways retarding our spiritual progress.
But there is increasing excitement among the global populace about new discoveries, inventions, space travel and more basic events like the emancipation of various peoples from dictators. Let me remind you that it was only in 1930 that we discovered the planet Pluto, and yet today we have two robots on Mars beaming back visual messages to us. We have certainly evolved, there is no doubt about that. What needs to be established is how much our genome has evolved. If the past 100 years is a form of measure we could use, that would mean the pace of evolution among humans is most likely exponential. The more we evolve, the faster we evolve. And yet it is only the wealthy sectors of world population which seem to be evolving in this way. The very sad thing is that while one fifth of the world's population revels in progress, the majority are trapped by poverty, hunger, disease and even slavery.
As much as economic necessity plays a role in making migrants vulnerable to being trapped as forced laborers, it is mainly the corruption and greed of humans which allows slavery to flourish. The greed gene and the violent gene are as strong as ever in our genome. Why is it that some have developed mechanisms to suppress these characteristics, while others thrive on the effects of these genes? By the end of 1994, there were a total of 260,000 officially-registered FIE (Foreign Invested Entities) enterprises in China, employing around 1.95 million workers, with total investment amounting to US $491 billion. Because they are afforded preferential treatment by the government, FIEs in China are immune to any monitoring. The trend is that government officials and departments turn a blind eye to law-defying FIEs for fear of losing investment. In return, the FIEs have identified this loophole as a psychological advantage and use it as a threat against law-enforcement departments. FIEs comprised at least 40% of all labour dispute cases in 1994.
71
So here we are some 200,000 years after our entry into the universal community of primitive species. Although we arrived as a slave species, we have made remarkable progress against our hostile and vengeful makers, who would stop at nothing to manipulate, control and punish us at every conceivable opportunity. And only some 11,000 years since we adopted civilization, courtesy of some of the more benevolent gods, we are about to colonize Mars. Now that we have the moral high ground on our creator gods, with regard to our view on human rights and equality, we still carry the violent hangover of our slave species character. Although almost invisible, slavery is alive and well on Earth, as it has been for thousands of years. Will we learn from our own experiences when we settle on Mars, or will we do what comes so naturally to us - clone a new slave species and control them with an iron fist. If our slowly evolving DNA has any role in this, we will probably engage in the latter.
Code of Hammurabi Priest King Who Established Babylonia
There is some disagreement about the date of Hammurabi's rule. Some scholars put him at circa 2300 BC, others as late as 1700 BC. Zecharia Sitchin places him at around 1900 BC, which would make Hammurabi one of the first kings after the destruction of Sodom, Gomorrah and other cities by the Anunnaki gods, in pursuit of Marduk the rebellious god and son of Enki, circa 2024 BC. But as we will show, Marduk survived and Babylon became a powerful city under his ‘godship’. In this translation by L. W. King we read what King Hammurabi had to say about his new kingdom as bestowed upon him by Marduk:
“When Anu the Sublime, King of the Anunnaki, and Bel, the lord of Heaven and earth, who decreed the fate of the land, assigned to Marduk, the over ruling son of Ea, God of righteousness, dominion over earthly man, and made him great among the Igigi, they called Babylon by his illustrious name, made it great on earth, and founded an everlasting kingdom in it, whose foundations are laid so solidly as those of heaven and earth; then Anu and Bel called by name me, Hammurabi, the exalted prince, who feared God, to bring about the rule of righteousness in the land, to destroy the wicked and the evil- doers; so that the strong should not harm the weak; so that I should rule over the black-headed people like Shamash, and enlighten the land, to further the well-being of mankind.”
72
These words are wonderful evidence of how the Anunnaki gods controlled the fates of men and bestowed kingship on their chosen few. We also find corroboration of the close relationship between Marduk and the Igigi, who were his followers, who arrived on Earth from Mars when it lost its atmosphere. They are the most likely candidates, who were the progenitors of the Aryans when they married earthling females in years to come. We also read about the “blackheaded people” who were the ‘primitive workers’ and descendants of ‘Adamu’ who were brought up to Sumer to work for the upper-class Sumerians and gods. We also read about the plight of the ‘blackheaded’ people in other tablets and we find references to them mostly with regard to performing the hard labour for which they were created. This proves irrefutably that black people have had the raw end of the deal on this planet since the very first moment of creation.
It is now clear that Adam was black. Some of his descendants were taken north and mixed with the Igigi and other lesser gods of Sumer, creating the white Aryan upper class of the Sumerian civilization. Those relatives of Adam who remained in Africa, remained ‘behind’ in many other ways. While the technology of the Anunnaki gods was being widely applied in the daily lives of the Sumerians, the African descendants of Adam were living in basic and primitive conditions for thousands of years, worshipping their ‘mythological’ gods. But not all the ‘blackheaded’ people who were taken to Sumer had it easy, because most of them remained slaves to the Anunnaki and experienced hardship. Some 2,000 years BC, an unknown scribe wrote a poem describing the sad events which surrounded the fall of the city of Ur. In this lamentation we read about the plight of the ‘blackheaded’ people.
This poem is an excellent corroboration of the aftermath during which Sodom and Gomorra were destroyed by some kind of nuclear disaster, unleashed by the biblical ‘angels’ who visited Abraham and Lot. The time was around 2024 BC. The dots in the following translation of the tablet indicate the damaged parts of the tablet which are illegible.
That law and order cease to exist...
That cities be destroyed, that houses be destroyed...
That Sumer's rivers flow with bitter water...
That the mother care not for her children...
That kingship be carried off from the land...
That on the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates ... there grow sticky plants... That no one tread the highways, that no one seek out the roads,
73
That its well-founded cities and hamlets be counted as ruins,
That its teeming blackheaded people be put to the mace...
The fate decreed by the gods cannot be changed, who can overturn it!” Codes 15 - 20 of

• If a slave say to his master: “You are not my master,” if they convict him his master shall cut off his ear.
No matter how much evidence is presented, many readers will find the truth too terrible to digest. Our human nature has evolved in a way that we simply reject gloomy hypotheses of such magnitude in favour of rosier tales told by historians. In this quest for enlightenment, our biggest enemy is our arrogance. In our inability to face the ‘terrible truth’ about our slave-species ancestry, lies the ironic paradox which may ultimately contribute to our demise. Our misplaced pride may eventually destroy us.
Knowledge is power, no matter how old it may be. I suggest that we begin to embrace the knowledge of our distant ancestors, as difficult as it may be, and find a way to understanding the real facts about our origins as the human race and our place on this planet. Unfortunately, every ounce of our human essence screams with the characteristics of a slave species trapped in a cycle of incomprehensible rituals. Enslaved by everything around us, but stubbornly rejecting such suggestions to our graves. We were created as a slave species, we have lived and behaved like a slave species and we are still behaving as such, uncertain of our origins and purpose.
We are constantly faced by a god who is brutal and selfish, imposes all kinds of hardships on humans; changes his name and then does the same thing elsewhere. Or he enslaves humans on this planet in never-ending cycles of karmic madness, in the weird hope that the ignorant humans will learn from their mistakes. How could they possibly learn from their mistakes if they keep returning to the same place, more stupid than before?
The true face of god has not been revealed; our origins have not been explained; we still don't know who we are, where we come from and why we are here. I am talking about the real facts and not the fairy-tale and horror stories which have kept us humans enslaved for too long. You be the judge. Does the outline of our so-called holy religions give you a feeling of confidence, and that we have it all under control? I am afraid it does the opposite. It graphically exposes the insecurity of Humankind and our constant struggle to find out the real truth about ourselves.

'' Infinite Love is the Only Truth Everything Else is Illusion ''
David Icke
The greatest gift we got is not Life, but Love.
Life without love would be just an existence.
The gift of Love enriches everyone beyond imagination.
Love does nurture, heal and make us to be the reflection of the Divine.
What would our existence without love, kindness, healing or Divinity be?
It would simply be an empty circle, nonsensical and dry.
One could not care to live or die.
Love and kindness will makes us to live in joy and happiness.
With Love in our hearts we cannot hate or lie.
To live this way we will have no hate, no anger, no suffering.
Without love life is loneliness and misery,
but with Love we will definitely change the World.
Love alone lifts our Soul and our Spirit to the Divine.
To love truly and living lovingly, we will live the reflection of kindness.
With love and kindness the Earth will be converted to a beautiful place.
What more could one want or ask?
If we all live in Love truly, all of us will experience life beyond imagination.
Love is the greatest Gift to you and to me.

The History of the Wrath of GOD
Alexander the Great, 356 - 323 BC.
He is referred to in encyclopedias as the conqueror of the Persian Empire and probably the world's greatest military leader of all time personifies the kind of story book hero that does not exist on Earth today. A deep thinker, strategist and great leader of men. In a short space of twelve years, Alexander conquered virtually all of the known world as he marched his army of 40, 000 men from west to east; invading cities and villages one by one, often killing all the men, women and children, or saving the women and children but selling them into slavery. He plundered the wealth of the cities, royal treasuries and took all their booty. After overpowering the cities, he often burnt them to the ground. Those who obeyed him were rewarded with unspoken treasures, while those who resisted him were brutally murdered.
Prisoners of war were either released or murdered, all depending on his mood on that particular day. The global population at this time was estimated to be around 100 million and much of this eventually fell under the rule of Alexander the Great. This great leader of men was also known to have killed his father Philip II, a number of members of his army who disagreed with his judgment and even his close friend and confidant whose advice conflicted with that of the great Alexander. This man went so far as to declare himself a ‘god’, believing that he was above mere mortals and the son of the great Zeus, god of gods. Where does this potential for violence, oppression and punishment come from? Are we merely imitating something or someone from days gone by? Someone who was instrumental in controlling the formative years after our creation?
If you look at the history of Humankind all the way back to the days of Adam, Cain and Abel, it is one long horrific tale of betrayal, murder, warfare, oppression, rape and pillage, jealousy, envy, greed and continuous unspeakable horror inflicted by man on his fellow man. But the passage of time has a strange way of smoothing out the terrible truths of the past. Time has the ability to somehow legitimize the horrors committed in days gone by. History books have a tendency to glorify some of the acts of past leaders, when in reality they should be condemned by latter generations. Alexander was just one such ‘great’ warring hero of the distant past. There were many others and most of them are revered as great historical leaders, forever
4
imprinted in our memories. In truth, they were just insatiable, power-hungry thugs who used their influence and wealth to accumulate more and more. Attila the Hun is another great leader of the past who is described somewhat differently by historians. Why is that? Because he did not have an empire before he started to invade and rule other kingdoms? Because his tribe was described as nomadic? He was just doing what all the other kings were doing, expanding his territory by force. This is how a historian by the name of Rit Nosotro writes about Attila. “Attila the Hun has been known as a ruthless barbarian, fierce and uncivilized. The devastation that he delivered to his enemies and the terror that he instilled in them during his lifetime caused him to become known as
‘The Scourge of God’.
While most people see Attila as being just a ferocious warrior, the more obscure side of him shows us that he was also a great king, possessing great leadership abilities and management skills. Attila the Hun was born in approximately 406 AD to the ruling Hun family, his uncle being the king. Although we do not know much about Attila's childhood other than that he was taught to ride a horse, shoot a bow, and fight in hand-to-hand combat at a very young age. By his late teens, he was leading the Huns in merciless battle against their enemies, the Visigoths. He pillaged numerous towns causing utter devastation. No one could match him in battle, and by his thirties, he was the Huns' leading commander. Before Attila's time, the Huns were a nomadic, barbarian race. They came from Asia and first reached the outskirts of the Roman Empire in the late 4th century. The Huns conquered the barbarian Ostrogoths and drove back the Visigoths.
The Eastern Roman Empire was threatened by these vicious Huns until 418 when Rome and the Huns negotiated peace terms. To secure peace, important persons, such as the young Attila, were exchanged as hostages between the Romans and the Huns. During Attila's two years in Rome, he was awed by the grandeur of the Empire. Upon his return home, he vowed to someday go back to Rome not as a hostage, but as a conqueror.” Why is Attila seen as a ruthless barbarian, while Alexander was ‘great’, and the Romans were imperial and ‘civilized’? It almost feels as if we are legitimizing their individual rights to conquer others, based on their socio-economic status. Because Alexander was the king of a wealthy empire he was allowed to invade and destroy. But because Attila was the leader of a lowly group of bandits, he should not possess such privileges. So what makes us in the 21st century so captivated by these warring heroes of the past? Do we not have heroes like this in the modern world? Or how long do we have to wait for
5
some of the more recent potential candidates for ‘great military leader’ status, to be so recognized and decorated? Alexander conquered the world in the name of Macedonia, while Julius Caesar conquered the world some 300 years later in the name of the Roman Empire. The war stories go on. But still they are ‘great’ leaders of the past. Just recently we had a great military leader who tried to conquer the world and in the process got very close to doing so. He had the full fanatical support of his people just like Alexander did; his followers all believed that they should conquer the world; he was admired by them as a great leader of men; a great strategist and someone they would follow to the end of the world in battle. He mobilized his well-trained and well-equipped army, killing many in the name of his empire, he wiped out cities and villages as part of his expansion plan, he occupied new lands and countries, declaring them part of the new empire.
He looted wealth and riches as part of his victories and depending on his mood, he would eliminate anyone who stood in his way, even his close friends and allies. The kind of man which history books often praise as a ‘great leader of men’. An other great leader was Adolf Hitler, and our history books have not been as kind to him as they have been to Alexander, Atilla and to the Romans. So what is the difference between Adolf Hitler, Alexander, Atilla the Hun and Julius Caesar? How much time will need to pass before historians start to include Hitler in the same revered group of great military leaders of the past? Or is it the visual reminder of the horrors of war that will exclude Hitler from this ‘great’ group of leaders? It certainly feels that time does soften the blow while the more recent dictators were captured on film which blows the romantic perception of war in an instant.
In other chapters we have explored the DNA, our genome, and its capacity to control all of our emotional and physical characteristics. We raise the argument that we are the slaves to our DNA. And as we cast our critical mind back to the events which shaped our history, all we can see is violence, conflict and destruction. It's as if Humankind simply cannot escape the grip of its violent behavior. Once again, I must remind you that the violent gene runs ‘deep and strong’ in our bodies and we must begin to identify this behavioral pattern of humanity, so that we can begin to understand it. Mumbo-jumbo psychology will get us nowhere. The harsh reality is embedded in our genome. Our propensity for cruelty and violence was unconsciously bred into us by our maker at the point of creation. And because we were made in the ‘image of our maker’, it must surely mean that we inherited more than just his physical features. There is the distinct
6
possibility that if we were created as genetic experiments, or as I have called us, a ‘slave species’, other genetic characteristics like temperament and even our potential for violence would have been transferred to us. From genetic studies we have already found that most of our genome is somehow switched off. This could mean that the ‘maker’ created a potential genetic imbalance, by purposely disabling certain genes, and allowing others to remain as the master program which controls us.
So, by extrapolation, if we have parts of our maker in us, surely this must mean that such a ‘maker’ must have the violent gene embedded in its genome? Is this why there are so many horrific tales of brutality by ‘god’ towards man throughout ancient history? Could this god have been a mere advanced being, merely exhibiting his neo-human traits of jealousy, vengeance, retribution, punishment and other very normal characteristics typical of the human species? Is it at all possible that God with a big ‘G’ could behave in such a barbaric human way?
The wrath of god should really be called the wrath of man. How is it possible that God, the creator of the universe and all things in it could have intentionally created such a hateful and violent creature as the human? And after creating us in this disturbing way, in his image, the God of love and the God of forgiveness, turned into a god of retribution, punishment, vengeance, but also a god of reward if he got what he wanted.
And mostly he wanted a load of material things like gold, silver, saffron, foods of a wide variety, special favors and he even requested his pilgrims to go to war in his name, destroying man, woman and beast. The Bible is filled with these kind of stories which are too close for comfort to the materialistic and obsessive desires by mortal beings, and are not becoming of the benevolent God who lives in spirit, filling every crevice of the universe. Here is an interesting comparison between the brutality of modern dictators, and the vengeance and brutality of god. Note that I use ‘god’ instead of ‘God’, as we are beginning to discover that there is a vast difference between the two, which has evaded simple man for millennia.

‘The Wrath of Dictators’
Number of living things that were killed by dictators in the past.
1) How many men did Genghis Khan kill because someone decided to peek into his chest of treasures?
250. The people who looked into the chest and their immediate families.
2) How many men did Stalin’s henchmen kill in one day because they failed to say they supported Stalin?
1,000 - those who failed to say they supported Stalin.
1. How many Ethiopians did Idi Amin from Uganda kill for his cleansing of chosen people?
One million.
While these questions may seem deliberately warped, sick and probably indicative of a psychopathic mind, you don't have to panic. The answers to these questions are purely hypothetical, because these questions were actually taken, word for word, from a Bible quiz on a respectable Christian website. (www.landoverbaptist.org)
All we did was to replace the word ‘God’ with a dictator or killer. I trust you are as horrified as I was when I first saw this. I had shivers running down my spine. It reads more brutally than any horror movie I have seen. And yet, this is the stuff we teach our children because it was written thousands of years ago, claiming that they were instructed by ‘God’ to perform these gruesome acts. I ask you to read these questions and answers with an open mind. It seems that we are incapable of separating right from wrong, as we keep justifying these acts of horror, because they were performed in the name of god. Ask yourself the following; if you were to commit such acts today, in the way they are described in this questions, in the name of god, what would happen to you and how would the global community react? The so-called ‘wrath of god’ is too horrible to imagine, and the reality is too incredible to digest. And so, we teach our children the stories about the ‘wrath of god’, and we fill them with fear instead of love and compassion.
8
Such is the nature of the defective genome lurking in our cells, keeping us entrapped in a cycle of fear, violence and unspeakable cruelty towards our neighbors. The fact that follows points unquestionably to a violent gene passed onto us by our maker. It smacks of an obsessive human characteristic that is predisposed to divide and conquer through intimidation, violence, brutality and fear. Where is the God of love, the God who asks us to love our neighbor; and to love thy enemy; and to turn the other cheek; and to forgive them for they do not know what they are doing?
Prepare yourself for a spine-chilling experience. It is truly unbelievable when presented in this format. I, for one, cannot accept the delusional ramblings of a handful of men from the past, when they justify their horrific actions in the name of god. This is not my God, this is not the God who in a moment of infinite creativity, gave birth to the universe and filled it with an infinite number of souls to roam the width and breadth of the creation. There is so little we know about the spiritual realm, but there will come a day when we will evolve to the point where our genetic make up starts to open up the portals of our mind to the greater spiritual world, to which we have been denied access, mainly due to our incomplete genome.
THE FIRST COMMANDMENTS
INSTRUCTIONS OF SHURUPPAK:
Sumerian on clay, Sumer, 2,600 BC. This Early Dynastic tablet represents the earliest literature in the world. Only 4 groups of texts are known from the dawn of literature. The instructions are addressed by the pre-flood ruler
9
Shuruppak, to his son Ziusudra, who was the Sumerian Noah. Shuruppak's instructions can be said to be the Sumerian forerunner of the 10 Commandments and some of the Proverbs of the Bible. Line 50: Do not curse with powerful means (3rd Commandment); line 28: Do not kill (6th Commandment); line 33-34: Do not laugh with or sit alone in a chamber with a girl that is married (7th Commandment); lines 28-31: Do not steal or commit robbery (8th Commandment); line 36: Do not spit out lies (9th Commandment).
There are so many similarities between the Sumerian tablets and the books of the Bible, that it instantly begs the question; how is it possible? If you look at the tone used in the books of the old testament, you will see that it carries a strong resemblance to the Sumerian transcripts regarding the behavior of the Anunnaki, who came to Earth in the distant past. We will study their behavior and their actions that resulted in the creation of our own human species, fast- forwarding the evolutionary process while restricting the genome of the new species to the bare essentials.
From the Sumerian tablets it will become blatantly clear that the gods who ruled the world in the distant past were mere mortals with human-like needs and desires. They may have had advanced knowledge, skills and scientific ability, but this did not make them God. The strict instructions they gave man were blatantly designed to exercise absolute control over their newly-created ‘slave species’. The messages that the so-called prophets of the Old Testament wrote about, and the messages they conveyed to the people of their world, were cunningly devised by the Anunnaki to keep man in his place and punish him if he stepped out of line. The wrath of god falls perfectly in line with this kind of ‘control-freak’ behavior and should never be confused with the will of God, with a big 'G'.
CREATION OF THE WORLD
10
DEBATE BETWEEN BIRD AND FISH – PART OF THE SUMERIAN CREATION STORY.
Sumerian clay tablet, Babylon, circa 1,900 BC. About 50-60 sources for the Creation of the Hoe are known. This clay tablet predates the Old Testament by at least 1,000 years. Could this have been one of the many ancient sources that inspired the authors of Genesis?
Commentary:
Text 1 is a part of the Sumerian creation story, as a literary debate between the bird and the fish in which they argue for their usefulness in the universe. It has a substantially variant form of the published text, and the end is unpublished. Parts of the text are similar to Genesis 1:20-22. Text 2 deals with the Sumerian belief that the hoe, one of their basic agricultural tools, was given to them as a gift by the gods. It opens with the Sumerian creation of the world and of man, with parallels to the Bible's two creation stories: "The Lord hastened to separate heaven from earth" (Gen. 1:6-10); "and Daylight shone forth" (Gen. 1:3-5). It also predates the 2nd creation story of the Bible: "The Lord put the (first) human in the brick mould, and Enlil's people emerged from the ground" (Gen. 2:7).
The next Bible questions is just another item of proof in our gallery of evidence. It paints a gruesome picture of god and exposes his true identity. This was not the loving God some of us have come to imagine, but rather a materialistic, obsessive and vengeful human-like being whom Humankind got to worship as god. It is confusing why these ancient gods of the world would allow someone like Jesus Christ to shake their absolute control of Humankind, but if we just read between the lines, their devious strategy bowls us over with its undermining brilliance.
In a few short years Jesus turned the oppressive teaching of the Old Testament on its head and completely changed the way humans should deal with their needs and their own humanity. But now that we know who the god of the Old Testament really was, the identity of Jesus exposes a whole new plot in the entrapment of Humankind. Did he have special powers? It certainly seems like it and once we have looked at the Sumerian texts it will all start making very clear sense. We will come much closer to understanding who the ‘Prince of Peace’ was and why his message was so important to humanity at that specific point in time. So let us take a few steps back now,
11
from the Prince of Peace to the horrific, vengeful, barbaric acts perpetrated in the name of god by men in the times of the Old Testament. What was said is probably quite different from what was written. What is read and understood is most certainly different from what was said in the beginning. The ancient tablets have exposed the real truth. The following Bible questions is posed by the Landover Baptist Church in an attempt to spread the word of God. All it does, is support the notion that God is not who we have been led to believe. The original objective was to determine the number of living things killed by God.
‘The Wrath of God’
1. How many men did God kill because someone decided to peek into the ark of the Lord?
(50,070) “And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the Lord, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the Lord had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter.” (1 Samuel 6:19).
2. How many men did Moses kill in one day because they failed to say they supported God?
(3,000) “Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him. And he said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor. And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.” (Exodus 32:26-28)
3. How many people did God kill in a plague before someone pleased God by ending a mixed marriage with the murder of the couple?
(24,000) “And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And when Phineas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose
12
up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand; And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel. And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.” (Numbers 25:6-9)
4. How many animals did Solomon kill in a sacrifice to please the Lord?
(120,000 sheep and 22,000 oxen) “And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offering, which he offered unto the Lord, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the Lord.” (1 Kings 8:63)
5. How many Israelites did God deliver to the people of Judah to slaughter?
(500,000) “Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God delivered them into their hand. And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men. Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the Lord God of their fathers.” (2 Chronicles 13:15-18)
6. Notwithstanding the above, how many people of Judah were once killed or enslaved because they didn't give God his due?
(120,000 valiant men were killed and 200,000 women and children were taken as slaves, not to mention the theft of property.) “For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred and twenty thousand in one day, which were all valiant men; because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers. ...And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them.”(2 Chronicles 28:6-8)
7. How many Ethiopians did God kill for His chosen people?
(One million, 1,000,000) “And Asa had an army of men . . . And there came out against them Zera the Ethiopian with an host of a thousand thousand . . . Asa cried unto the Lord his God, and said Lord, it is nothing with thee to
13
help, whether with many, or with them that have no power, help us, O Lord our God . . . So the Lord smote the Ethiopians.” (2 Chronicles 14:8-12)
8. Speaking of God's chosen people, how many kings were maimed in God's name?
(70 had their thumbs and big toes cut off.) “And they found Abonibezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and Perizzites. But Abonibezek fled; and they pursued after him and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes. And Abonibezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table: as I have done, so God hath requited me.” (Judges 1:5- 7)
9. How many soldiers did God burn to death with fire from Heaven because they confronted Elijah?
(150 – three sets of 50) “And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. Again also he sent unto him another captain ... And Elijah answered and said unto them,
If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty . . . And he sent again a captain of the third fifty ... Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties.” (2 Chronicles 1:10-14)
10. By the time God gets through with his killing spree, how many dead will there be?
(Enough to cover the entire surface of the Earth.)
“And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried, they shall be dung upon the ground.” (Jeremiah 25:33).

If the above content does not shock you, the years of propaganda have certainly dulled our senses. Could those possibly be the commands and the wishes of the God of Love?
I do not believe that for one minute. It stinks of manipulative human characteristics of monumental proportion. It is amazing how ‘god’ chooses sides, favoring one group of his creation over another, willfully and maliciously guiding people to their death. He changes his mind virtually on a daily basis about his chosen people. Sometimes he delivers them from harm's way, at other times he purposely leads them to be slaughtered like sheep.
This god clearly displays the kind of characteristics which he passed onto us. And we unmistakably display the traits that we could only have inherited from our maker, since he passed his genetic material onto us; genetically engineered into us by the scientists of the ancient world, who arrived here on Earth to set up a base camp and mine the rich minerals in the ground for use on their planet Nibiru.
ANU THE SUPREME GOD
15
Two separate tablets showing Anu, the supreme commander of the Anunnaki being served by human slaves. Note the star symbol representing his godly status and the radiant planet Nibiru.
All this will be breathtakingly revealed when we start to examine the Sumerian tablets. But if you think that I was lucky and found a few random out of place examples in the bible, you are very mistaken. The old testament is filled with acts of horror on virtually every page. It seems that whoever was trying to control us had a very good strategy. Fear, punishment and reward. Just look at how successful it has been. There are still people today who live by those values 4000 years later. It was actually very simple back then. Just remember that the Anunnaki gods were dealing with a new, primitive, un-evolved and uninformed species on Earth, one with no history, no memory, no legends, no culture. Everything they experienced was brand new to them.
It was easy to find the leaders among them, appoint them in a position of authority by giving them the exclusive ability to converse with their maker ‘god’ and bring instructions, warnings, reward and retribution to the followers in the name of ‘god’. And so the embryonic relationship between the new species and its god evolved over several thousand years, while the uninformed slaves were entrapped in the worst kind of slavery possible; the fear of their creator. Look how long it takes to rehabilitate battered animals. Some of them cannot be saved. Some will be fearful of their brutal master for the rest of their lives. With justifiable reason, because the master beats them and hurts them for no apparent reason. In this instance, there is no difference between the ‘dog animal’ and the ‘human animal’.
The fear of the vengeful god runs so deep in some cultures that it will take hundreds of years to erase it, and replace it with the opposite emotion and response. The gods got themselves into the perfect position of power and control over their primitive creation. We were given clear instructions as the new slave species; do not question, do as you are told, have blind faith in your maker, because if you question or disobey, you will be punished. And as we have seen in the very graphic quiz, the punishment was swift and severe. So if you are still not convinced that we had a vengeful, manipulative creator here on Earth in some kind of advanced human form, here are a few more extracts from the Old Testament to send shivers up your spine. Once again this food for thought is provided by the Landover Baptist Church.

‘The Love of God’
1. How many people did God kill in one day for having premarital sex?
(23,000) “Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.” (1 Corinthians 10:8)
2. After God brought the Israelites out of Egypt, how many of their own people did they kill, at God's behest, for declining to give God His due?
(3,000 spouses and siblings in a single day) “Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord's side? Let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him. And he said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor. And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.”(Exodus 32:26-28)
3. How many Israelites did God kill to punish David for counting them?
(70,000 people through pestilence) “And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel. And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it. . . . And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel. . . . So the Lord sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.” (1 Chronicles 21:1-14)
4. How many people did God slaughter in a plague because they had the audacity to question the judgment of Moses and Aaron?
(14,700, plus 250. He burned to death with fire) "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces. ... and, behold, the plague was begun among the people... Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah" (Numbers 16:44-49). “And there came out a fire from the Lord, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.” (Numbers 16:35)
17
5. How many Israelites did God slaughter in a plague for whoring around?
(24,000) "And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods. And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel. ... And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand. " (Numbers 25:1-9)
6. How many members of other races and tribes did the Lord deliver to be slaughtered by Israel because he favored the Israelites and was prejudiced against other tribes?
(10,000 Canaanites and Perizzites and 10,000 Moabites to name a few) “And Judah went up; and the Lord delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand men” (Judges 1:4). “And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the Lord hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over. And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valor; and there escaped not a man.” (Judges 3:28-29)
7. How many people did God kill in Sodom and Gomorra for engaging in homosexual acts?
(Every single living thing in the communities) “Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorra brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven; and he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. (Genesis 19:24-25)
8. How many Assyrians did God kill after their king and his servants made fun of God?
(185,000) “And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord. . . . And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. . . . Then the angel of the Lord went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.” (Isaiah 37:1-36)
18
9. How many Israelites did God threaten to kill when the tribe abandoned Him?
(90 percent of the population of each community) “Hear ye this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel. The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up. For thus saith the Lord God; the City that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall have ten, to the house of Israel.”(Amos 5:1-3)
10. When God became particularly disgusted with the sin of man, how many beings did He kill?
Every living thing (children and unborn children included) on the face of the earth (except those few residing on an ark)) “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. . . . And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: all in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.”
(Genesis 6:5-7:22)
As wild as my theories may sound to you, about advanced humanoids creating a slave species on Earth to perform the hard labour in mines and other areas, it is not nearly as shocking as the following biblical quiz. It goes a long way in supporting my theories about the true identity of ‘god’ our maker, depicting his obsession with taking control of the new species, which was proving to be a handful. After all, they could not allow the slave species to get out of hand, when they were created as slaves. They were not here to have a good time. After this blood-thirsty display of ancient times, we can take a look at how closely it compares to the military activity we are capable of today, showing that we, the slave species, have evolved much closer to the levels of our makers, the Anunnaki. Unfortunately our evolution has not always been for the better. Please hold onto your hat, the following is truly hard to believe.

‘God's Favorite Ways To Kill’
Once again this quiz was posed by the Landover Baptist Church, providing us with all the evidence we need to show that the so-called god of man, was no more than a power-hungry and brutal humanoid with advanced powers.
This is how the Baptists justify god’s brutality:
“We all know God has historically killed or tortured those who rub Him up the wrong way. What you may not realize is that God's methods of maiming are as varied as his reasons for smiting people. A Biblical scholar / True Christian should have no difficulty determining God's favorite way of torturing and / or killing less desirable folks in each of the following circumstances.”
1. Which of the following are among God's methods of punishing those who break His commandments?
“But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments... I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes... I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle.” (Leviticus 26:14-22.) “If thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments... The Lord will smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish... The Lord will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. The Lord shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart.” (Deuteronomy 28:15-28)
2. How does God handle people who make Him jealous by having a religion different than ours?
“They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up... And he said... They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger...For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall
20
consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them. They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of grey hairs.” (Deuteronomy 32:17-25.) “Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shall break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.” (Psalms 2:8)
3. How does God kill whiners?
“And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.” (Numbers 11:1)
4. How does God prefer to torture those who somehow become enemies of His chosen people?
“God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a unicorn: he shall eat up the nations of his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.” (Numbers 24:8.) “Moreover the Lord thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed. Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the Lord thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible.” (Deuteronomy 7:20-21.) “And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood.” (Isaiah 49:26)
5. How does God kill those who vacation in Egypt?
“And now therefore hear the word of the Lord, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; If you wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there; Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt;
21
and there ye shall die. So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.” (Jeremiah 42:15-17)
6. How did God express his hatred toward people living in metropolitan Babylon?
“How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations. A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: and sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed.” (Jeremiah 50:23, 37)
7. When a community's sins really make God mad, how does God find comfort?
“Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord God; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity. A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them. Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted.” (Ezekiel 5:11-13)
8. Whom does God slaughter when He gets jealous because a community is worshiping someone else?
“Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.” (Hosea 13:16)
9. How does God punish promiscuous folks, like men who have sex with both their wives and mothers-in-law and daughters of priests who sleep around?
“And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.” (Leviticus 20:14.) “And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.”
22
(Leviticus 21:9)
10. In Jesus' time, how did the Trinity deal with nonbelievers?
“And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.” (Acts 12:23.) “But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. Then Saul, (who also is called Paul) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him. And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.” (Acts 13:8-11)
And if you think I am done trying to prove a point, you are mistaken. When I started uncovering the brutality in the Bible and the way it has been passed down the generations and used as a tool of oppression, fear and punishment, I was so shocked I could not sleep for weeks. We have to separate ourselves from these barbaric acts of self-righteous bigots from days gone by, who have hijacked the true spirit and meaning of God, and by so doing imprisoned an entire planet for millennia. We must separate the true spirit of God from the whims and needs of the advanced beings who settled on Earth and planted the seeds of a violent society among humans, into which we have evolved so comfortably, seemingly oblivious of our origins and true purpose. So here is some more food for thought especially for those who are still not convinced. Another quiz from a righteous religious group. Trying their very best to glorify the sadistic words of a lesser god.
‘God’s License To Sin’
The following excerpt is another statement from the Landover Baptist Church glorifying cold-blooded murder as long as it is in the name of God: “The Bible is loaded with verses restricting our activities and making even the most mundane of human reactions a sin. But if you carefully scour the Good Book, you'll discover that countless exceptions to these commandments literally swallow up the rules.
23
License to Sin in the Bible
1. Murder is a sin, unless your victim is:
“If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman...they shall be put to death.” (Leviticus 20:13.) “One of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman... And when Phinehas... saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand... and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.” (Numbers 25:6- 8.) “He slew all the house of Baasha, he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolk, nor of his friends. Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the Lord.” (1 Kings 16:11-12)
2. Intolerance toward the handicapped is a sin, unless the discrimination takes the form of:
“Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, Or a man that is broken footed, or broken handed, Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the Lord made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.” (Leviticus 21:17-21.)
“And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and everyone that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead: Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.” (Numbers 5:1-3).“ He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord.” (Deuteronomy 23:1)
3. Cannibalism is a sin, unless you eat:
(Your children, infants, friends and self when God destroys everything else so
24
these are all that are left to eat.) “And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness.” (Jeremiah 19:9.) “And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and the straitness.” (Deuteronomy 28:57.)
“Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother. And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm.” (Isaiah 9:19-20.) “Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the Lord; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.” (Numbers 19:13)
4. Murdering your own child is a sin, unless your child:
“And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.” (Exodus 21:17.) “If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods...thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die.” (Deuteronomy 13:6-10.) “And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.” (Matthew 10:21-22)
5. Self-mutilation is a sin, unless:
(You remove a body part that has engaged or is about to engage in sin, such as slicing off your genitals to remain a virgin.) “And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee.” (Matthew 5:29-30; see also Matthew 18:8-9; Mark 9:43-48.) “For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are
25
some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake.
He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.” (Matthew 19:12.) “And no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits unto God and to the Lamb.” (Revelation 14:3-4.) “They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.” (Leviticus 21:5)
6. Rape is a sin subject to the greatest of punishments, but is easily overlooked and forgiven if the victim is:
“And when the Lord thy God hath delivered [a city] into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword: But the women... shalt thou take unto thyself.” (Deuteronomy 20:13-14.) “And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the Lord, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering. And the priest shall make atonement for him.” (Leviticus 19:20-22.) “If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found: Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife.” (Deuteronomy 22:28-29)
7. Savagely beating another person with a weapon is a sin, unless you stop just before your victim dies and the victim is:
“And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.” (Exodus 21:20-21.) “Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.” (Prov. 23:13-14)
26
8. Abandoning your family is a sin, unless:
“Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac... And God said unto Abraham... harken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called... And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.” (Genesis 21:10-14.) “Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves.
Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin. Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives?... Thus cleansed I them from all strangers, and appointed the wards of the priests and the Levites, every one in his business.” (Nehemiah 13:25-30.) “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.” (Luke 14:26; see also Mark 10:29-30; Luke 18:29-30.)
9. Homosexuality is a sin, unless:
(You're one of God's favorite children, and you have many wives in addition to your boyfriend.) “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” (Leviticus 18:22.) “[David said] I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.” (2 Samuel 1:26.) “And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times; and they [Jonathan and David] kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.” (1 Samuel 20:41.) “And [David] had 700 wives, princesses, and 300 concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.” (1 Kings 11:3) “For this cause God gave them up into vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.” (Rom. 1:26-27)
27
10. Killing someone is a sin unless your victim is:
“Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.” (Exodus 22:18.) “But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, even before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.” (Numbers 3:38.) “If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbor's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.” (Deuteronomy 22:23-24)
As far as I am concerned this is all the proof we need to support the theory that things were not what we would have liked them to be all those years ago. There were some weird things going on in the Near East. If God said that we are all born in sin... all this graphic killing in the name of God seems a little arrogant, since we were told by Jesus “He who is without sin, let them cast the first stone”, and we are also supposed to “turn the other cheek”. What is going on here? Which part of the Bible should we actually subscribe to? Not one part I say. It has become clear that this was not a book inspired by the divine God of the universe, but a sadistic, manipulative advanced being, obsessed with keeping Humankind under control. During our violent path to this point in time, we have fought endless wars and in the process developed some truly remarkable technology.
The research and development that has gone into military weaponry, naval equipment and aeronautical science has been astonishing. In the past 100 years we have created weapons of such awesome power that they could destroy the people of the world in a matter of hours if they were deployed. These deadly weapons come in a variety of forms, but the most feared are WOMDs (weapons of mass destruction). You may remember hearing a great deal about these during the Bush-Iraq episode. These WOMDs can be nuclear... atomic, hydrogen, neutron and other varieties; they can also be biological... anthrax, botulism, smallpox, mustard gas, the list is endless. What they have in common, is that they can kill millions of people in a matter of seconds. While the bombs are usually dropped from the sky on their designated recipients with pinpoint accuracy, their delivery may vary. It may even be guided by a laser. The biological kind is more versatile. They can be
28
delivered in a bomb, distributed by the wind, in viruses and other microscopic pathogens that develop into a plague, in the drinking water, in food, medication and other ingenious carriers. While the bombs explode with a mighty glare of the sun, obliterating everything in their path for hundreds of kilometers, biological weapons sneak up on their victims unexpectedly. You can die quickly, in a few seconds or you can suffer for days maybe even years before you eventually die a horrible painful death that seems to have no cure. The most impressive aspect of biological weapons is that there is no antidote for most of them. Just imagine the kinds of human minds who invented these as possible solutions to a problem, or as one of the options to choose from when planning a conflict situation. The long-term benefits of both kinds of weapons are legendary.
It is now known that many of the world's governments have experimented on humans with biological substances for over 60 years, in the pursuit of WOMDs development. All the global powers who were jostling for supremacy were involved in some form of BW (biological warfare) experimentation. In their book entitled Plague Wars, Tom Mangold and Jeff Goldberg give us a gruesome overview of the history of biological warfare. And while they subtly draw our attention to some quotes from the Bible which may resemble biological warfare, they may not have been aware how close to the truth they were. The Germans were not the only ones who desecrated human rights in this regard. The Yanks performed tests on their own soldiers in Korea and in Vietnam, the Russians did similar things, but it is the Japanese who possibly have the most horrific record of keeping prisoners alive for months while performing unspeakable tests on them.
This kind of behavior can only be explained by our malfunctioning DNA. No other creature, other than the human, is capable of such horrific acts against their own kind. But we must have inherited this DNA from somewhere? Our fascination with biological weapons and man's suffering associated with it, goes back thousands of years. The Sumerian tablets carry gruesome details of how people perished from the “evil wind” which was caused by the gods' deadly weapons. The weapons that we are exposed to in science fiction movies amaze us, and yet, somewhere deep inside we believe that it could be possible. Maybe not today, but sometime in the future. Is the future already here? Do such incredible weapons exist? How much do we really know about the latest technologies used by weapons manufacturers? There are many who claim that lasers and other new precision technology weapons exist, which work with photons, ions, electrons and ultra-high frequency radiation. Even
29
ultra low frequency sound waves are now well developed as weapons and most likely well guarded as national secrets by their respective governments. So, where am I going with this? It is uncanny how similar the effects of modern weapons are when described verbally, to the many descriptions of annihilation and destruction referred to in the Bible. The similarities are too close for comfort. If we were created by a more advanced human-like species with a knowledge of genetics some 200,000 years ago, it must surely mean that they would also have had the knowledge of the kind of weapons that we have developed on Earth since then, as we evolved into our current state of consciousness. And if we compare the wars and conflicts that are started on Earth today, often as a result of minor misunderstandings or even a conscious demonstration of power by one leader over another, it is very easy to reason that the advanced gods of pre-history used such technology to control and punish their creation in an attempt to keep them fearful and obedient.
There are many passages in the Bible that clearly point to such violent activity, which could only have been delivered by WOMDs. Many of these biblical situations are virtually identical to situations described in the Sumerian tablets in which the gods were either leading, guiding, observing, engaging, rewarding or punishing the people. A similar story, which we will expand on later, was depicted in the Bible surrounding the destruction of Sodom and Gomorra. All these violent acts were supposedly performed by god against the sinful people on Earth. They seem to have been attacked with biological weapons and possibly even nuclear weapons. But if you think that such references are restricted to the ancient biblical days, you are mistaken. The presence of the ‘god of vengeance’ is reported in great detail by William Bramley in his book Gods of Eden.
Between 1347 and 1350, the whole of Europe and surrounding lands were struck down by the ‘Black Death’ which arrived from Asia, supposedly carried by the fleas transferring it from rats to humans. In those days little was known about the disease, but today we know there were actually two kinds: Bubonic Plague and Pneumonic Plague. Today we have a bit more scientific information about these diseases and how they spread. The plagues would return to Europe every ten to twenty years, killing many millions until the 1700s. It is estimated that over 100 million people died from the Plague during that period. The people of the world had never experienced anything like this before. Or so they thought. It was like a plague from biblical days. Swelling of the lymph nodes, which were called ‘buboes’, vomiting and fever, resulting in death within two days. Or, shivering, rapid breathing,
30
coughing up blood, high fever, and death in three to four days. The strange circumstances surrounding the breakout of this disease has puzzled scientists for years. The required contact with rats has caused great confusion, as the disease would strike isolated communities miles apart, while sparing others. There would be very little rodent activity and it would normally happen during summer in areas that were not necessarily heavily overpopulated. According to Bramley, the outbreaks would usually occur after the appearance of a “foul smelling mist” which went hand in hand with “seeing unusually bright lights in the sky”. These mists and lights were the most frequently reported events of those times, just before the plague suddenly descended on them. It seems that these ‘lights and mists’ had more to do with the plagues that followed than the large numbers of rats. Bramley continues with some staggering information.
One year before the first outbreak in Europe, a “column of fire” was reported over the Pope’s palace in Avignon, France. Another report from that period talks about “a ball of fire” which was observed over Paris and remained visible to observers for some time. Is it possible that the ancient gods of Sumer and Egypt, who flew around in their ‘sky chariots’ and ‘boats of heaven’ could still have been active as recently as the 13th century? There is growing evidence to support such a ridiculous idea. But historians call the ancient events “mythological” while the more recent ones were just “figments of people’s imagination”. How convenient. Once more our precious historians dismiss events which cannot be explained, only to replace them with a more popular version of their own truth, one which does not seem too ridiculous to the global populace.
Is it possible that while the ancient Anunnaki gods were trying to keep Humankind enslaved with religious dogma, they were also attempting to reduce the growing numbers of their slave species, which would allow them to exercise greater control over humans? It certainly seems as if such crazy ideas may pack a punch after all. The people of those Dark Ages, were extremely superstitious, and the church exercised immense control over what people did and what they thought and what they believed. Those were days of high comet activity, which is well documented, and comets were therefore also always associated with an impending plague of some sort. Between 1298 and 1314 there were seven large comets reported over Europe. But in those days the people would call every bright light in the sky a comet. In 1557, Conrad Lycosthenes published a book with one of the longest titles ever. A chronicle of prodigies and portents that have occurred beyond the right order,
31
operation and working of nature, in both the upper and lower regions of the earth, from the beginning of the world up to these present times. This was a bestseller of its time that talks about a “comet” that was seen over Arabia in 1479. “A comet was seen in Arabia in the manner of a sharply pointed wooden beam...” This description certainly does not sound like a comet at all. Today it would most likely be called a UFO. But I have steered clear of UFO talk in this book, rather asserting that we have much closer historical links to the gods of the ancient world, who were described as flying in ‘sky ships’ and ‘boats of heaven’. It does however seem that the dark ages of Humankind were a period of high UFO activity, whether we like to accept it or not. Similar reports from Asia also described the death and destruction which followed unusual aerial phenomena. This is a report by one Asian historian:
“They were confused, exaggerated, frightening, as reports from that quarter of the world so often are: descriptions of storms and earthquakes; of meteors and comets trailing noxious gases that killed trees and destroyed the fertility of the land.” (Bramley)
The outbreak of plague was usually preceded by this kind of aerial activity which could range from a few minutes before the horror affected humans, to as long as one year. Another report claims:
“In 1117, in January, a comet passed like a fiery arm from the North towards the Orient... a year later a light appeared more brilliant than the sun... followed by great cold, famine and plague of which one third of humanity is said to have perished.”(Bramley)
This event refers to one third of the population in that specific region and not necessarily the whole world. But to those people, it was the whole world. The link between comets and the Plague continued. There were 26 comets reported between 1500 and 1543. A further 15 or 16 were observed between 1556 and 1597, while in 1618 another nine comets were observed. Does this not strike you as being highly suspicious at all? When last did you see a comet? Even if you did see one recently, which is highly unlikely, since the last visible comet that passed Earth was comet Encke, in December 2003, which was hardly visible to the naked eye. But these comets in the distant past were apparently seen by many, during the day as well as at night. They were not described as a distant fiery ball with a long tail, but described more as a bright light hovering for all to see. A report came out of Vienna
32
describing events in 1568: “When in sun and moonlight a beautiful rainbow and a fiery beam were seen hovering above the church of St Stephanie... followed by a violent epidemic in Austria, Swabia, Augsberg, Wuertemberg, Nuremburg and other places... carrying off human beings and cattle.” Each time these comets appeared, the people would be struck down with the Plague. In 1606, a comet caused the death of 37,000 in Prague, and 46 415 in the Netherlands. But the horror of the Plague was not only restricted to attacks with some kind of biological substance from the sky. Have you ever wondered where the classic image of ‘death’ being portrayed as a skeleton demon carrying a scythe actually originated from? Other reports of “frightening human-like figures dressed in black” were also common sights shortly before the Plague would strike. Appearing on the outskirts of towns and villages, these figures normally entered the fields of wheat or oats with some sort of spraying device, distributing what must have been infectious poisons on the crops. Bramley describes yet another such reported incident:
“In Brandenburg there appeared in 1559 horrible men... fearful faces and long scythes with which they cut at the oats, so that the swish could be heard at a great distance, but the oats remained standing.”
The appearance of such “men” was followed by an immediate outbreak of the Plague in Brandenburg, for example. The so-called scythes must have been a spraying device of some sort, the kinds which we would spot a mile away on a modern farm today. I have personally spent days on my dad's farm, spraying for larvae with a similar device. The reports did not stop there, more were reported from Hungary as pointed out by Bramley. “There appeared so many black riders...but who rapidly disappeared again...and thereupon a raging plague broke out in the neighborhood.” William Bramley points out that “the scythe came to symbolize the act of Death mowing down people like stalks of grain.”
And these reports of the Plague have been recorded from all over the world. In China in 1333 “after a terrible mist emitting a fearful stench and infecting the air.” If you ever smelt a burst gas pipe you would be able to relate to the stench. Poisonous gas or deadly biological gaseous compounds do not smell pleasantly. They generally also have a choking effect on the victims. The reports make it clear that the deadly Plague did not spread from person to person, it afflicted everyone at the same time. How could it be the result of infected fleas on rats? This is a very dubious bit of disinformation, which begins to sound more and more as if the real facts have been withheld from
33
us. Another event in China describes the situation as such: “During 1382... the air grew putrid... the plague did not pass from one man to another, but everyone who was killed by it got it straight from the air.” I believe I've made my point. There are however many more examples, which would begin to sound repetitive. The biological warfare hostilities against humans which we witnessed in the 20th century, showed us the gruesome effects of such poisons. It seems that while these kinds of event were taking place in the first 600 years of the previous millennium, we have 4,500 year old Sumerian tablets describing similar atrocities brought upon Humankind by the so-called mythological gods of ancient times. Even the Bible has many descriptions of plagues and pestilence being unleashed on the human race by the ‘god of vengeance’. What a wonderful thread it is that holds it all together. So who is this god of the Bible who has kept us so fearful for thousands of years?
One thing is for sure, this god certainly puts his money where his mouth is, when he executes his violent threats against his ‘beloved’ human creation. There can be no mistake in our conclusion that the god of the Bible is not the God we all hoped he was. But rather a powerful, anxious, advanced being, whose ‘primitive worker’ or slave species has grown out of control on this planet. The advanced beings who the humans have come to worship as gods have mostly withdrawn from Earth, as the conditions began to turn against them and they lost control over the large numbers of humans being born. Their ‘little’ experiment to create the ‘Adamu’ was an initial success, but it turned out to be the Great Human Tragedy. So much so, that some 4,050 years ago some of the Anunnaki gods attempted to wipe out all of Humankind, with an all-out nuclear attack on all their main settlements. These events are dramatically recorded in the Bible, Genesis 18, during the destruction of Sodom and Gomorra.
God Destroys Sodom and Gomorra Genesis 18: 23 -29
“The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar. Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorra sulphur and fire from the LORD out of heaven. And he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. But Lot's wife, behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. And Abraham went early
34
in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD. And he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorra and toward all the land of the valley, and he looked and, behold, the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a furnace. So it was that, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, God remembered Abraham and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow when he overthrew the cities in which Lot had lived.” It is evident from the Bible that god destroyed more than just the two cities, as it also talks about the rest of the valley. But the event is described even more vividly on clay tablets dated back to over 4,500 years and predating the Bible by some 1,000 years. The graphic description in the ancient clay tablets leave us with no doubt at all, that the god of the Bible was not our friend, nor our saviour, but was most certainly our vicious and vengeful maker. It is in his image that we have been created and it is his violent DNA which we have inherited.
These are translations of Sumerian tablets by Zecharia Sitchin describing the events on that fateful day when the gods decided to destroy the world and Humankind with it:
“The evil thing to carry out Ninurta and Nergal were selected... The five cities of the valley he finished off, to desolation they were overturned... steam to the heavens was rising... With fire and brimstone they were upheavaled, all that lived there to vapour was turned... The horizon with darkness it obliterated... By a darkening of the skies were the brilliance followed, then a storm to blow began... Gloom from the skies an Evil Wind carried... Wherever it reached, death to all that lived mercilessly it delivered... Like a ghost the fields and cities it attacked... No door could shut it out, no bolt could turn it back... In the streets were their corpses piled up... Cough and phlegm the chests filled, the mouths with spittle and foam filled up... Their mouths were drenched with blood... The waters were poisoned, all vegetation withered... Everything that lived behind it was dead, people and cattle all alike perished.”
Slaves and Spies
Slavery is a common theme in the Bible / Romans 6:22
“But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God...” 2 Peter 2:19
35
Is this an admission that man has been conned by the gods?
“They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.”
One such fascinating subject which attracted my attention was the concept of slavery. Just like gold, slavery seems to have been around since the dawn of man. I will try to trace it back to its very start and point out why we are so entangled in such a barbaric act even today. Just think about it for a second. Where and when did man suddenly decide that he could own another person? A moment in which one person elevated himself way above the other and proclaimed his complete supremacy over the other.
The concept of enslaving another person is arguably the most abhorrent act of humanity and the most barbaric display of our true character which is indelibly programmed into our genome. What is even more unbelievable, is that the god of the Old Testament does not seem to have a problem with slavery. In fact, on various occasions god actually instructs men on how to treat their slaves and how to dish out punishment to disobedient slaves. In fact the whole idea of slavery was embraced and accepted throughout the entire Bible, right to the end of Revelations. There are over 130 references to ‘slaves’ in the Bible, here are just a few of them to get you thinking about it: Genesis 21:10
“...and she said to Abraham, ‘Get rid of that slave woman and her son, for that slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac.’”
Genesis 44:10
“ ...Whoever is found to have it will become my slave; the rest of you will be free from blame.”
Exodus 3:7 - 10
Clearly showing god's favoritism towards one group.
The LORD said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good
36
and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey – the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”
Exodus 21:20-21
“If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.”
Leviticus 22:11
Even priests were allowed to have slaves.
“But if a priest buys a slave with money, or if a slave is born in his household, that slave may eat his food.”
Deuteronomy 24:7
It was okay for others to be enslaved, but it was deemed to be 'evil' in the eyes of god, to enslave other Israelites.
“If a man is caught kidnapping one of his brother Israelites and treats him as a slave or sells him, the kidnapper must die. You must purge the evil from among you.”
2 Samuel 6:20
David seemingly liked to have some fun with his slave girls, which was not always to the liking of others. Maybe she was just jealous.
“When David returned home to bless his household, Michal daughter of Saul came out to meet him and said, “How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, disrobing in the sight of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow would!”
1 Kings 14:10
37
The repetitive sound of the god of vengeance and fear continues in these words:
“Because of this, I am going to bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam. I will cut off from Jeroboam every last male in Israel - slave or free. I will burn up the house of Jeroboam as one burns dung, until it is all gone.”
Genesis 9:25
Once more god condones the act of slavery.
“Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers.” Exodus 9:20
People prepared themselves against violent acts of god.
“Those officials of Pharaoh who feared the word of the LORD hurried to bring their slaves and their livestock inside. But those who ignored the word of the LORD left their slaves and livestock in the field.”
Leviticus 25:44-45
A very clear endorsement of slavery and enslaving other nations.
“Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.”
1 Samuel 8:17
Warring, conquering and slavery were the order of the day under god's rule.
“He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves.” Ezra 9:9
A perfect example how god cunningly turned mankind into obedient slaves by showing them snippets of mercy and goodwill. This would have been a reference to Cyrus the Great, who freed the Jews from Babylon, and allowed them to go to Jerusalem. But we must remember who Cyrus was. He was an Aryan Persian king who was under the influence of the Anunnaki gods, manipulating humans into all kinds of submission.
38
“Though we are slaves, our God has not deserted us in our bondage. He has shown us kindness in the sight of the kings of Persia: He has granted us new life to rebuild the house of our God and repair its ruins, and he has given us a wall of protection in Judah and Jerusalem.”
Nehemiah 9:36
God continued to enslave humans, making them grateful for small signs of benevolence. Promising reward for obedience and punishment for defiance.
“But see, we are slaves today, slaves in the land you gave our forefathers so they could eat its fruit and the other good things it produces.”
Esther 7:4
God continues to oppress humans.
“For I and my people have been sold for destruction and slaughter and annihilation. If we had merely been sold as male and female slaves, I would have kept quiet, because no such distress would justify disturbing the king.” Psalm 123:2
And humans keep hoping to please the vengeful god while they waited for his benevolence. God's barbaric rule over humanity continues with false promises:
“As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, till he shows us his mercy.”
Jeremiah 34:9
Even the Jews had Hebrew slaves.
“Everyone was to free his Hebrew slaves, both male and female; no one was to hold a fellow Jew in bondage.”
Zechariah 2:9
The god of war sends his loyal human ‘slaves’ to plunder and kill others.
“I will surely raise my hand against them so that their slaves will plunder them. Then you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me.”
39
Matthew 20:26-28
“Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave.”
Acts 7:7
God cunningly sets up his people to be forever grateful for his intervention.
“But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves,” God said, “and afterward they will come out of that country and worship me in this place.” Acts 7:9
“Because the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph, they sold him as a slave into Egypt. But God was with him.”
Revelation 6:15
“Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.”
Colossians 4:1
God makes it clear that humans are his slaves.
“Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.” 1 Peter 2:18-21
Here we have a disciple of Jesus justifying slavery, all because god will reward them for their suffering, they should accept their lot. He even suggests that Humankind was made to be slaves. It shows the incredible hold this brutal god had over Humankind. Constantly subjecting them to hardship and violence.
“Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. For it is commendable if a man bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God... But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. To this you were called...” We can go back to the ancient wars and argue that the concept of slavery arose out of situations where prisoners were taken and kept as slaves or sold as slaves. Alexander

the Great would not only enslave the conquered armies, but he would take entire towns, cities and even entire nations of mothers, fathers and children to be enslaved. If they were not kept by the conquering side, they would be sold into slavery to some other king in exchange for gold or whatever they might have agreed to be a fair price for such a valuable booty of humans. The mere thought of this kind of behavior makes us physically ill today, and yet we forget that slavery only really reached its peak on Earth in the last 500 years. There is evidence of slavery in Sumer right at the dawn of so-called civilization. When we analyze the Sumerian word for ‘slave’, we find that it translates into ‘mountain man’ or ‘mountain girl’. This is a crucial bit of evidence for my theory of a slave species. If man, ‘the Adamu’, was created as a slave to work the gold mines on Earth, he would have inherited much of his maker’s DNA.
This means that the very first things early humans had to deal with as a brand new species, were gold and slavery. This is what they were not only born into, but intentionally ‘created’ to do. It stands to reason that if our maker had the genetic makeup to commit such acts, the offspring would most certainly display very similar characteristics. The offspring must surely be a ‘chip off the old block’. And here we are, some 400,000 years later, displaying exactly the same kind of characteristics, completely oblivious to their origins. It is highly ironic that man was created and toiled in Africa from the beginning of time as a slave to the Anunnaki gods, but from the moment the new civilization emerged after the flood which ended the last ice-age, the so- called civilized and free human, did exactly as his Anunnaki ‘father’ did. He captured slaves and started behaving exactly like his maker.
Suddenly the two expressions at the beginning of this chapter, ‘the apple doesn't fall far from the tree’ and ‘like father, like son’ make so much more sense. Just picture the children in small isolated communities. They will inevitably grow up to do one of the things their fathers or mothers did in the small remote village. They will absorb the local culture, they may weave, plant certain crops, breed a certain farm animal, wash in a certain way, eat in a certain way, worship the same way and marry a partner (or more) according to their tradition. Any suggestion of doing things differently is seen as heresy to those who have upheld those traditions for years. They are not aware of the other worldly possibilities, and their frame of reference is restricted only to what they grew up with. To the western world this may sound a bit far- fetched , but let me assure you that this kind of activity permeates much of Africa, Asia, South America, eastern Europe, the Middle and Near East. In
41
fact, even in the so-called ‘very’ advanced societies like the USA, there are little villages and small towns which have upheld their traditions for centuries, completely separated from the rapid modernization that has taken place around them. When the Anunnaki gods decided to help humans learn the skills of survival after the flood, not all humans were convinced that this was a good idea. Some primitive humans most likely did not trust the brutal gods who had oppressed them for so long, and therefore many of them remained in their mountain hideouts, too scared to enter the newly established settlements of people. It must have looked to them like a new version of the labour camps that persisted for millennia around the gold mines.
This is why the newborn civilization did not explode in large numbers of people, but was rather stimulated by its acquisition of know-how virtually overnight. But the global gods eventually found those hidden communities of rebellious slaves and imposed their control on them in the most remote locations. This is all very clearly illustrated in the so-called mythologies of even the most remote tribes of the planet. They all had a similar relationship with the omnipresent gods. But as the new civilized communities' needs for labour increased, they would do what came naturally to them: go into the mountains or the neighboring village and catch themselves some slaves. After all, those ‘mountain men’ and ‘mountain girls’ were now deemed to be wild and primitive in their eyes: ‘Like father... like son’.
But the irony does not end here. When humans adopted their new wisdom by settling into communities, domesticating animals, planting crops and taking slaves captive in the mountains around them, where did they turn to for their supply of slaves next...? Africa. The cycle of life has now been fully completed. The newly civilized slave species returns to its place of birth to capture slaves for their own needs. Does that sound out of line to you? Well it should not. The violent gene was strong in our DNA then, some 11,000 years ago, and it is still as strong as ever today, let there be no doubt about that. The greed gene is still firmly encoded in our DNA and a whole host of other genes that drive our violent, blood-thirsty behavior. Slavery is what the human species was born into, and slavery is what we have known until today. The incredible thing is that virtually all ancient cultures in the world were practicing slavery at some stage, starting with the Sumerians and Egyptians.
Then came Hammurabi, the priest king of Babylon who lived around 2123 to 2181 BC. This was a new breed of human king who showed
42
distinct signs of mental evolution in the lineage of human-species- leaders. In essence he was the first great king who established the first metropolis on Earth, Babylon. The Code of Law which he laid down in clay was one of the first recorded sets of laws in human history. Hammurabi displayed an uncanny feeling for human rights in the face of his own people's tradition in slavery. He detailed many laws pertaining to slaves. Slaves were allowed to own property, enter into business, and marry free women.
Formal release by the owner was permitted through either self-purchase or adoption. Nevertheless, even by this humanitarian code, the slaves were still considered as merchandise. The ‘Code of the Hittites’, which was applied in western Asia from 1800 to 1400 BC, was even more humane by conceding that a slave was a human being, although of an inferior order. The ancient Israelites experienced slavery in Egypt, while in the Indus Valley the first documented evidence of slavery coincides with the Aryan invasion of about 2000 BC. Indian literature indicates that slavery was allowed throughout India from the 6th century BC to the beginning of the Christian era, but there is no doubt that slavery was alive and well millennia before that.
In ancient Persia, slaves were actually bred for supply purposes for the hungry slave markets. Persian victories in the Aegean islands of Chios, Lesbos, and Tenedos resulted in the enslavement of entire populations. China's entire history is virtually built on a slave culture going all the way back to Huangdi, the ‘Yellow Emperor’ and mystical ancestor of all Chinese, the Xia Dynasty, which started in the 21st century BC. But the first true slave society in history probably only emerged in ancient Greece between the 6th and 4th centuries BC. At the slave markets of Athens, Rhodes, Corinth, and Delos, a thousand slaves would change hands in an afternoon. Just imagine that kind of setup at the San Francisco harbor in 2004... the modern human mind would not be able to cope with such a desecration of human rights.
This must surely be a visible indication of humanity's general state of mental and spiritual evolution. But things were different in Greece 500 years BC. After a major battle, as many as 20,000 captives would go on sale. Some say that Aesop, the legendary story teller, was a freed Greek slave in the 6th century BC. Next in line was Rome, which became even more dependent upon slaves when a form of agricultural slavery called ‘estate slavery’ was introduced. After the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century AD,
43
slavery persisted in Arab lands and in central Europe. Many ‘Slavs’ were captured and taken as slaves to Germany where it seems they retained their derivative name from ‘Slave’. At this stage, slavery across the world was unstoppable and man's cruelty and greed reached unprecedented heights. From the very first day of civilization, man practiced what he was taught by his maker: obsession with gold and keeping slaves. Slave-owning societies continued and included the Ottoman Empire, the Crimean khanate, the Inca Empire in Peru, the Sokoto caliphate, and the Hausa of Nigeria. It extended to the central Asians such as the Mongols, Kazakhs, and various Turkic groups who also kept slaves. As unbelievable as it seems, slavery was even practiced by some native North American Indian people such as the Comanche and the Creek.
Even in Africa there was slavery among its own people. This is how firmly our genetic inheritance is entrenched from our maternal donors, the seven original Anunnaki females who gave birth to the first group of ‘slave species’, but we will find out more about them a little later. African chiefs would first sell off their prisoners to the slave traders from Europe. When these ran out, the chiefs would line up their own criminals and wrong-doers to be sold into slavery. When this was not enough, they would simply grab remote and ignorant villages capturing all and sundry for the slave markets. I hope that this is proof enough of the violent gene and greed gene embedded in our DNA. I do however suspect that there will be many who still have a problem with this concept, so let me take it a bit further. Some men would even sell their wives or children into slavery to pay off their own debts.
This barbaric, genetically inherited behavior reached its apex in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries when an estimated 20 million slaves were captured in Africa and shipped around the world to places like Brazil, Caribbean and North America, while trade within Africa itself continued. The first slaves to have been brought to South Africa came from Angola on board a Dutch ship called the Amersfoort in 1658, only six years after the first settlement by the Dutch at the Cape of Good Hope. And because I am South African, I have a particular interest in the slave history of this beautiful part of the world. So let's use this as a full chronological example. The rest of the world's slave trade between the 15th and 17th centuries evolved in similar ways. According to Mogamat Kamedien, these are the events surrounding the establishment of slavery in South Africa. By the 17th century the slave trade was regarded an ‘honorable and noble’ business in Europe through which many companies generated immense wealth and caused untold misery. As the inhumane
44
elements of this trade started to be exposed by small groups of liberals in the 18th century, many of the so-called honorable businessmen fought their accusations with all their wealth and influence. By the end of the 19thcentury, one by one, the guilty culprits signed various ‘abolition of slavery acts’ under pressure from enlightened activists. Argentina 1813; Colombia 1821; Mexico 1829; South Africa 1834; USA 1865 just to mention a few. It was however only in 1948, when the United Nations released the ‘Proclamation of Human Rights Declaration’, which in essence prohibited slavery worldwide. But the United Nations left a huge loophole in the previous declaration, which took another eight years to rectify. They were forced to add a further declaration which dealt with “slave trade and institutions similar to slavery”.
To most people today this bit of information will come as a horrific shock: how is it possible that slavery was only officially prohibited in 1956 by the so-called ‘free and civilized’ world? Let me remind you of an earlier sentiment which suggests that “if we don't know where we come from, how can we possibly know where we are going?” For as long as people keep their eyes closed to new evidence and their minds poisoned against new possibilities, we will continue to propagate the ‘slave species’ characteristics which our maker so successfully implanted in us. We were created as a slave species and to this day we remain a slave species, held captive by our ignorance, lack of clarity about our human origins and the stunted genome with which our maker has endowed us. Even after the 1956 UN proclamation, the inhumane trade in people did not stop.
11,000 years since the emergence of civilized man nothing has really changed. Saudi Arabia only signed the ‘abolition of slavery act’ in 1963 and Mauritania in 1980. Is it not incredibly ironic that it is once again in Africa, the cradle of man, the birthplace of slavery on Earth, that we find the last place to let go of this abhorrent custom? Slavery is so deeply and firmly rooted in the African ancestry, that it seemingly cannot be escaped. But slavery is still alive and well in the 21st century. It seems that certain parts of our DNA have not evolved at all. In 1988 slaves were sold in Sudan for 30 pounds, and in 1989 China launched a national campaign against the trade in ‘women and children’ slaves. The effort uncovered 9,000 cases of slavery in that year alone. My guess is that this was only the tip of the iceberg in China. In this technologically advanced global village where every sensational event is reported by global networks within seconds; where communication has become child’s play; where we look at Mars rovers with a certain amount of impatience because we want them to do more stuff, and do it quicker... how
45
free are we really? We spoke about economic warfare in earlier chapters, but it should also be referred to as ‘economic slavery’. This applies to individuals as well as poor countries. In this case the conquering armies do not take prisoners as slaves, they simply enslave the entire country economically. The total indebtedness of poor countries to wealthy countries is so incredibly vast, that it most likely can never be repaid.
The strange thing is, that most of the poor countries of the world are those who were raped for slaves by the West for centuries. This rape of many nations understandably resulted in the complete collapse of such countries, that all eventually had to ask for assistance from the aggressor. What a conniving and calculating bunch of ‘civilized’ humans we are.
Today, the slavery principal continues under this economic banner extremely successfully. The poor countries are exploited for cheap labour, they become the dumping grounds of global unwanted produce, deadly unwanted chemicals and nuclear waste, basically continuing to be enslaved on virtually every level; even their terra firma has become enslaved. Their currencies remain weak, their people remain poor and they have no choice but to allow the bullies to abuse them. But the abuse does not always come from outside the borders. The slavery problems in China are potentially nothing to what is brewing right next door in India. The highly discriminating class system called ‘caste’, which originates from the Portuguese casta, meaning breed, race or kind, is still widely practiced throughout India.
Although this form of discrimination is officially prohibited, it is alive and well, serving as a legitimate cultural form of slavery, which holds close to half the population of one billion Indians enslaved in poverty and misery, with virtually no way out. Once you are classified as a Dalit or ‘untouchable’ your lot has been determined for life. It is virtually impossible to elevate yourself to one of the four higher classifications which may make your life more bearable. There are approximately 200 million ‘untouchable’ Dalits in India today. They may not marry anyone from a higher class, they may not use the same amenities as others, they must at all times be invisible to the higher castes, getting out of their way so that not even their shadows may touch in passing. In some situations, towns and villages will insist that Dalits carry a bell to warn any other higher castes of their approaching ‘vile’ presence.

The Modern Slaves
So how free are we really? You may think that because you live in a First World economy you are okay, that you are the master of your own destiny and that you are nobody’s slave. Well, think again. The successful westerners are slaves to their jobs; their boss; their mortgage bond; an array of credit cards; car loan; overdraft and other significant entrapments of society. The modern economies are structured to attract as many consumers as possible, with the promise of some sort of credit. Even your student loan can enslave you for years. Once you are hooked, the onus is squarely on your shoulders to pay the creditor without default. You may tell everyone that “this is your new home”, but the reality is that it actually belongs to the bank.
They just allow you to work your backside off for 20 years, paying them a large sum every month, making nauseating amounts of interest from you in the process. So who is the slave? If you cannot pay, they auction your home at market value, in many cases still leaving you with a large debt to cover. Now that you are really deeply in trouble, they blacklist you, which dramatically reduces your chances for employment, of keeping a bank account, and making back the money which you owe them. The credit card is the same. You pay for your Caribbean trip with your card, feeling very fulfilled. Upon your return, you realize that your company has gone insolvent and the card becomes an instant trap. You have to sell your car to pay off the card and now you can't get around to launch your new business.
The worst and most clandestine form of slavery is the good old student loan. Thousands of companies will give you a student loan with the condition that you work for them to pay it off after graduation. The snag is that they decide on your measly salary as an apprentice, which means that you have to work for them for years while earning very little, essentially becoming extremely cheap labour. This happens year in, year out, around the world to millions of graduates. Basically, our lives revolve around work and money. We behave like confused slaves on this planet, not knowing where we are going... why we are here... and who is really in control? Why are we chasing these castles in the sky? Is there a hidden message here?
47
Could this possibly be a hangover from prehistory, when early man was promised a trip up to god’s castle in the sky... and to live in the house of the maker, but only if he performed valiantly and pleased his master? Really... why are we so caught up in this chase for materialistic rewards, if we know that we can't take it with us?
The answer is simple. We are still slaves living in the 21st century, but our path to this point in time has been so meticulously planned by the ‘gods’ of our prehistory, that we could never expect to recognize the clues or symptoms. Our arrogance prevents us from even believing such wild and extravagant theories because “we are the masters of our own destinies”.
Our entire history is riddled with temptation from a variety of sources. From biblical promises of heavenly wealth and eternal life, to the Sumerian tablets outlining the promises of great reward in the houses of the gods. But only if you behaved, obeyed and performed the tasks that were assigned to you. Is this the seed which has driven man to toil and perform for ever? Is it a hangover reflex response from days gone by, when the Anunnaki gods were still on Earth? It certainly smacks of something which eludes us to this day. After all, we are the slave species and so we shall behave. All that has happened in the past few thousand years, is that we confused the reason with motive, which has resulted in the continuous frantic chase for material stuff. We want to accumulate and hoard. There is so much baggage and disinformation piled up in our human subconscious, that we cannot possibly begin to unravel it without huge amounts of investigation and especially introspection.
Because the messages we are discovering from our distant ancestors are not the fairy-tales we expected to hear. The people of the ‘free’ western world are enslaved economically, culturally and religiously. But if you ask them, they will deny it. We are enslaved to our jobs, our banks and our governments. If you don't pay your tax, you will go to jail. This blissful ignorance is exactly what the ‘maker’ had planned. The Tower of Babel incident was a wonderful example of how the gods conspired to keep humanity enslaved through their ignorance. The Sumerian scriptures make similar references to the incident as is described in the Bible, where the gods had decided that man had grown too wise and was speaking one ‘language’. The use of the word ‘language’ could be metaphorical for knowledge. The gods felt that if they left man to his own devices, he would be capable of anything.
48
This posed a big threat to the gods, when suddenly Humankind displayed the potential to stand up against their maker and oppressor. At that point the gods decided to “go down from their heavenly abode and confuse their language”, which they did. It is not exactly clear what they did to humans, but it certainly extended the slave mentality for millennia. What is very interesting however, is that Genesis 10 ends with the sons and descendants of Noah, scattering around the world, belonging to different clans and speaking different languages. Then suddenly, Genesis 11 starts with the following statements.
The Tower of Babel Genesis 11: 1 - 9
“Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. They said to each other, ‘Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly.’ They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, ‘Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth.’ But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. The LORD said, ‘If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.’ So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.” This entire passage smacks of a ‘master-slave’ relationship.
This is virtually a copy of the Sumerian tablets where the gods were also very unhappy that the slaves were making rapid progress, gaining knowledge and showing signs of higher intelligence.
It's fairly plain to read between the lines that ‘god the master’ panicked and took the necessary steps to prevent people from gaining skills and knowledge. The principle of ‘divide and conquer’ was implemented very
49
successfully among the emerging human threat. The simple fact that the sons of the gods were having children with the daughters of man was a huge problem. The ‘new human offspring’ were even more intelligent than their human mothers, because they had more of the gods’ DNA which allowed them to achieve more and evolve quicker.
Genesis 6:1-4:
"When men began to increase on earth and daughters were born to them, the divine beings saw how beautiful the daughters of men were and took wives from among those that pleased them. The LORD said, ‘My breath shall not abide in man forever, since he too is flesh; let the days allowed him be one hundred and twenty years.’ It was then, and later too, that the Nephilim appeared on earth - when the divine beings cohabited with the daughters of men, who bore them offspring. They were the heroes of old, the men of renown."
There is no doubt that the fathers who were the sons of the gods also contributed to the technological know-how of their children. We can deduce from this kind of activity on Earth, that man's evolution was speeded up rapidly, which went against the explicit wishes of the ruling gods. They wanted to keep ‘man’ stupid. So, it is of particular interest that in Genesis 6 verse 7, god suddenly became ‘plural’ and plans to go down with some of his associates to sort out this problem. “Come let us go down and confuse their language.”
Who was god talking to and who went down with him? And why would god look unfavorably on human technological progress? Why would god not want his special creation, man, to be able to do ‘other’ things. Why would god be so freaked out with man's rapid advancement? The Tower of Babel incident was preceded by an earlier attempt to get rid of humans because they were already posing a prior threat to the gods. Once again this indicates an ultimate act of oppression maintained over the slave species.
For some reason the gods decided that their creation ‘man’ was evil and that all he knew was evil; that's pretty much how the Bible puts it. I sense that the gods had had enough of the humans and realized that they had created a ‘monster’ which could rise up and bite them. The Sumerian tablets tell the story of an impending tidal wave that would destroy most of humanity, especially those who lived near the coastal areas. In December 2004, we saw
50
how easily 300,000 people died from a relatively small Tsunami in large parts of the world. Imagine what a 100-meter high tidal wave could do to the world. But the Anunnaki already knew of such a giant wave which would sweep the Earth as a result of their planet Nibiru coming back into close proximity to the world. So they decided that they would allow this wave to destroy humanity and in one fell swoop help them to take care of their growing human problem. It is estimated that there were four million of the slave species on Earth by this stage, far outnumbering the gods. This made the gods very nervous, so they would allow the slaves whom they created, to be destroyed because their behavior was showing signs of uncontrollable intelligence. Did the slaves start asking too many questions? Did they start evolving too quickly and were they absorbing advanced technical knowledge without the gods’ permission?
It certainly seems that way. By now you must have figured out that I am of the opinion that the Bible cannot be trusted, no matter how emotional we get about it. It is surrounded with so much controversy and there is no absolute proof who the real authors were, and under what influence they wrote those brutal descriptions of events of their times. Furthermore, because most of the Old Testament is a diluted version of Sumerian tablets and other ancient texts, it is therefore a paradox in itself that I am using the Bible as a major source of reference. This, my friends, is purely to demonstrate the inconsistency and fanatical obsession bestowed on this book by those who so dearly worship it. By the time we reach the story of the biblical flood, I would like to reason that the Anunnaki gods did not count on the rapid evolution of the human brain, which is why the gods wanted the growing number of humans to be destroyed in the flood.
In short, the human slaves were suddenly a potential threat to the gods. But one of the two leading gods, Enki, was much closer to the humans than his cold-hearted brother Enlil. Because Enki had worked with the human slaves in the African mines for millennia, he took pity on the humans and warned Ziusudra (Noah) of the impending disaster. He gave him strict instructions on what to do, to save his friends and family and his livestock. It turns out that this was not just a random gesture of mercy, but Ziusudra was actually Enki's son with an Earthling female. This was the real motive behind his actions. The Bible puts it slightly differently. “God saw that everything man did was evil.” Suddenly all the people on Earth were 'vile and evil' and god decided to punish them. Is it possible that the story recorded in the Bible came from an opposing point of view, from Enki's brother Enlil, who was in command of
51
the planet and its people? Enlil never really liked the slave species and this provided him with a perfect opportunity to destroy them. What could all the people on Earth have possibly done that was so vile and evil, to have enraged god so much, that he plotted to destroy all of them? The fascinating thing is that the flood story has been told in most of the ancient cultures which pre- date the biblical story of Noah. So which one of them is more accurate and factual? My guess is that it should be the oldest one. This should make the Sumerian flood story about Enki and Enlil and Ziusudra the most credible story. And this is where the plot thickens even further.
The sons of the Anunnaki gods, who were also referred to as the Nefilim, were prohibited from having intercourse with the human females for fear of creating a new subspecies, which would be more intelligent, and a potential threat to the Anunnaki. We have heard about them before, even in the Bible. But the sons of the gods were young and restless on Earth, showing the usual signs of rebellious youth. They obviously disobeyed the instructions, especially when they saw how sexual the daughters of man were. Both the Sumerian scripts and the Bible tell us explicitly what happened next. ‘God’ decided to pull the ultimate act of supremacy over his disobedient slave species, which was to destroy all of them. This would allow him to clear the slate and start again with no loose ends and especially no disobedient and nosey humans. This is how the Bible describes it:
The Flood Genesis 6:4-18
“The Nephilim were on the earth in those days... when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. So the LORD said, ‘I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the... of the earth...’
But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD .
This is the account of Noah:
Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he
52
walked with God. Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth. Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight and was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. So God said to Noah, ‘I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth... I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens... Everything on earth will perish. But I will establish my covenant with you...’”Now there is a wonderfully ironic example of favoritism by the all-loving ‘god’, who made ‘all’ people equal. Suddenly Noah was his favorite one, and the only kosher guy on the face of the Earth. This is a little too rich for me... there must have been some other motive and the motive I place before you makes much more sense that any others I have read.
That is especially in light of the inconsistency in the story when viewed from the two brother-gods’ point of view, which presents us with a juicy bit of circumstantial evidence as to what exactly may have happened. We had two distinct personalities in Enlil and Enki with opposing views on the slave species. Enki wanted to save man, therefore he warned Noah (Ziusudra), who also happened to be his earthling son, but he warned more than just Noah. Therefore the biblical entry which proclaims Noah to be the only righteous man on Earth makes no sense. This is where it gets really interesting, because it feels as if this part of the biblical story was written only after the event of the flood, from the perspective of Enlil, who suddenly realized that he had failed in his quest to wipe out the human race. This failure to dispose of the troublesome human population forced Enlil to alter his entire story, hiding the fact that he had failed.
It really feels like a lot of sour grapes to me and the entries in the Bible were written so as to hide the fact that god had failed in destroying the vile and evil humans, but instead he found one ‘righteous’ man. After the flood, Enki took humans under his wing and started to teach them all the necessities of a civilized community, at which point we witness the emergence of sudden global civilization around 11,000 BC. But their rapid evolution scared Enlil, especially when the humans built the tower of Babel in an attempt to reach their gods in the sky. So, it was probably the spiteful Enlil who destroyed the tower and caused them to scatter over the world in another attempt to slow down their progress. They were after all, his creation, his slaves and he could do with them as he pleased. It may come as a surprise to learn that there are literally hundreds of ‘Flood Stories’ in early human history.

SUMERIAN FLOOD STORY
Neo-Sumerian on clay, this is mankind's oldest reference to the Deluge, together with a tablet in Philadelphia, the only other tablet bearing this story in Sumerian. In this transcript Ziusudra, the Sumerian Noah, is described as “the priest of Enki”, which is new information. Other tablets outline that he is actually the son of Enki.
The Sumerian flood story is the oldest forerunner to the Biblical account of the flood. (Genesis 6:5-9:29) According to the British Museum, their ‘Neo- Babylonian’ tablet with the Flood story as a part of the ‘Epic of Gilgamesh’, is the most famous tablet in the world. The tablet shown here is over 1,000 years older than the one in the British Museum.
54
ENLIL DECIDES TO DESTROY Humankind WITH A FLOOD
The Atra-Hasis epic is the Babylonian flood story written in Old Babylonian on clay in Babylonia circa 1900 BC in cuneiform script. When the Neo- Babylonian account of the flood story as part of the ‘Gilgamesh Epic’ was discovered in the 19 th century, it caused a sensation. It turned out that this was an abbreviated account extracted from the Old Babylonian Atra-Hasis epic, written some 1,000 years earlier.
The flood is the climax of the whole story in which the gods created the human race to take over the hard labour on Earth. They were created with the power to reproduce, but were condemned to die as a result of age. The human race multiplied and made such a noise that the chief Sumerian god, Enlil, could not sleep. He therefore plotted to reduce their numbers, first by plague, then by famine.
In each case the god Ea (Enki), who was mainly responsible for creating the human race, frustrated the plan. Enlil then got all the gods to swear to co- operate in exterminating the whole human race in an impending flood. This failed because Enki saved his favorite, Ziusudra, by allowing him to build an ark and so save the human race and the animals. This tablet starts after the famine attempt by the gods had just failed, Enlil plotted against Humankind and came up with another plan.
Partial tablet translation:
55
“...THEY BROKE THE COSMIC BARRIER! - THE FLOOD WHICH YOU MENTIONED, WHOSE IS IT? - THE GODS COMMANDED TOTAL DESTRUCTION! ENLIL DID AN EVIL DEED ON THE PEOPLE! THEY COMMANDED IN THE ASSEMBLY OF THE GODS, BRINGING A FLOOD FOR A LATER DAY, ‘LET US DO THE DEED!’ ATRA-HASIS...”
This is a good time to take a look at some of the other flood stories from around the world, to see the incredible similarities in these stories which were written on different continents, thousands of miles apart, by ‘primitive’ people, hundreds of years apart. Does that not ring very loud alarm bells with you? Mark Isaak has compiled an incredible collection of these stories at www. talkorigins.org and I would urge you to see his website for truly captivating reading. Here are a few excerpts:
Greek:
“Zeus sent a flood to destroy the men of the Bronze Age. Prometheus advised his son Deucalion to build a chest. All other men perished except for a few who escaped to high mountains. When the rains ceased, he sacrificed to Zeus, the God of Escape.
An older version of the story told by Hellanicus has Deucalion's ark landing on Mount Othrys in Thessaly. Another account has him landing on a peak, probably Phouka, in Argolis, later called Nemea.” “The Megarians told that Megarus, son of Zeus, escaped Deucalion's flood by swimming to the top of Mount Gerania, guided by the cries of cranes.”
“An earlier flood was reported to have occurred in the time of Ogyges, founder and king of Thebes. The flood covered the whole world and was so devastating that the country remained without kings until the reign of Cecrops.”
Roman:
“Jupiter, angered at the evil ways of humanity, resolved to destroy it. He was about to set the earth to burning, but considered that that might set heaven itself afire, so he decided to flood the earth instead. With Neptune's help, he caused storm and earthquake to flood everything but the summit of
56
Parnassus, where Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha came by boat and found refuge. Recognizing their piety, Jupiter let them live and withdrew the flood. Deucalion and Pyrrha, at the advice of an oracle, repopulated the world by throwing ‘your mother's bones’ (stones) behind them; each stone became a person.”
Scandinavian:
“Oden, Vili, and Ve fought and slew the great ice giant Ymir, and icy water from his wounds drowned most of the Rime Giants. The giant Bergelmir escaped, with his wife and children, on a boat. Ymir's body became the world we live on.”
Celtic:
“Heaven and Earth were great giants, and Heaven lay upon the Earth so that their children were crowded between them, and the children and their mother were unhappy in the darkness. The boldest of the sons led his brothers in cutting up Heaven into many pieces. From his skull they made the firmament. His spilling blood caused a great flood which killed all humans except a single pair, who were saved in a ship made by a beneficent Titan.”
Welsh:
“The lake of Llion burst, flooding all lands. Dwyfan and Dwyfach escaped in a mastless ship with pairs of every sort of living creature. They landed in Prydain (Britain) and repopulated the world.”
There are many flood stories such as Lithuanian, German, Turkish, Vogul, Egyptian and Persian. Even the Koran (11:25-48) refers to the flood, adding that the Earth swallowed the water, and the boat came to rest on a mountain called Al-Judi, and one of Noah's disbelieving sons drowned in the flood. An apocryphal scripture tells us how Adam instructed that his body, together with gold, incense, and myrrh, should be taken aboard the Ark and, after the flood, should be laid in the middle of the Earth. God would come from thence and save mankind (Platt, p. 66, 80 and 2 Adam 8:9-18, 21:7-11). Here we are really mixing the history of Humankind. Wasn't Adam dead by then? How would he know that a flood was looming to give such instructions?
57
The Babylonian tale is virtually identical to the Sumerian story and even the Chaldean story is filled with Sumerian influence. Remember that the Sumerian Noah was called Ziusudra:
“The god Chronos in a vision warned Xisuthrus of a coming flood, ordered him to write a history and bury it in Sippara, and told him to build and provision a vessel (5 stadia by 2 stadia) for himself, his friends and relations, and all kinds of animals, all of which he did. After the flood had come and abated somewhat, he sent out some birds, which returned. Later, he tried again, and the birds returned with mud on their feet. On the third trial, the birds didn't return. He disembarked in the Corcyraean mountains in Armenia and, with his wife, daughter, and pilot, offered sacrifices to the gods.”
The Zoroastrian story:
“After Ahura Mazda has warned Yima that destruction in the form of winter, frost, and floods, subsequent to the melting of the snow, are threatening the sinful world, he proceeds to instruct him to build a vara, ‘fortress or estate’, in which specimens of small and large cattle, human beings, dogs, birds, red flaming fires, plants and foodstuffs will have to be deposited in pairs.” (Dresden, p. 344) What all these stories really point to is a time and place when the gods of Heaven and Earth conspired to wipe out all of humanity. Why? Because they were showing signs of independence, intelligence and possible rebellion against their makers. I have presented you with their motives which have been expanded on by many scholars in numerous studies of the Sumerian tablets and other ancient scriptures. But there is one story in the Bible which in my humble opinion supersedes all the others in presenting evidence of god’s manipulation of humanity. This is the story of Abraham, his son Isaac and Sodom and Gomorra. It reads like a plot from a Hollywood mafia movie, where certain people are set up to have their loyalty tested, before they can be trusted by the ‘godfather’ to perform certain acts which are not necessarily always kosher.
Ask any writer and they will confirm that the plot laid out in this particular story of the Bible has the perfect structure for a screen play, which includes a ‘good-cop-bad-cop’ situation, planting seeds of suspicion and distrust, while demanding absolute loyalty: a code of silence and obedience.
58
These events are perfect examples of a ‘master-slave’ relationship, with a constant undertone of possible violence to be inflicted on the slave if he should step out of line. It has perfectly crafted moments of transparent leniency and hints of empty compassion towards the slaves who are perpetually filled with mortal fear. It all starts with the ‘god-master’ setting up his slave for personal conflict by evicting his mistress. The slave is Abraham, the mistress is Hagar. Abraham’s wife Sarah supports this move as Hagar is a real threat to her because Hagar had given birth to a son of Abraham, who will become a competitor to her own son. But the clever twist lies in that the god-master tells Abraham to evict Hagar personally. By doing this, the master tests his slave’s loyalty and he drives a wedge between him and the mistress. No sooner has Hagar been left to die in the desert, than the god-master comes to the rescue of the evicted young slave girl and her newborn son, winning her undivided loyalty, spreading the word of the loving, benevolent god.
The Sacrifice of Isaac
This famous painting by Rembrandt van Rijn depicts the Old Testament story that epitomizes the brutality of the biblical god. It was this very god who ordered Abraham to take his son Isaac to a distant mountain, far from the peering eyes of others, and murder him in cold blood. All this, simply to determine if Abraham – essentially god’s first ‘snitch’ – could be trusted to obey god’s orders.
Genesis 22: 1 -18. The Sacrifice of Isaac by Abraham:
59
“Now it came about after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, ‘Abraham!’ And he said, ‘Here I am.’ He said, ‘Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you.’ So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him and Isaac his son; and he split wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him. On the third day Abraham raised his eyes and saw the place from a distance. Abraham said to his young men, ‘Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there; and we will worship and return to you.’ Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son, and he took in his hand the fire and the knife.
So the two of them walked on together. Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, ‘My father!’ And he said, ‘Here I am, my son.’ And he said, ‘Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?’ Abraham said, ‘God will provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.’ So the two of them walked on together. Then they came to the place of which God had told him; and Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood, and bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, ‘Abraham, Abraham!’ And he said, ‘Here I am.’ He said, ‘Do not stretch out your hand against the lad, and do nothing to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.’
Then Abraham raised his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up for a burnt offering in the place of his son. Abraham called the name of that place The LORD Will Provide, as it is said to this day, ‘In the mount of the LORD it will be provided. ’ Then the angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time from heaven, and said, ‘By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son, indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies. In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.’” This is surely the most malicious manipulation of early man by the gods to establish his loyalty. It also provided a model for the gods with which they could exercise future control over their human subjects, while
60
promising their loyal and obedient humans rich rewards. You have to see through all the grandstanding, posturing and impressive narrative in the Old Testament, to recognize the absolute fear under which the people lived at all times. The gods were bloodthirsty and ruthless manipulators. But they had a very good reason to behave this way: man had grown visibly unhappy with their abuse, and man was beginning to form groups of resistance, which were led by rebellious gods like Marduk, the son of Enki. At this point, building up to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorra, Marduk had officially revolted against his commanding god Enlil, developing a huge global following among humans, as he promised them life after death. He also proclaimed himself as ‘god above all’. People who were thought to be in any way involved in such activity against the ruling gods, would be classified as vile and evil, committing unspeakable acts of sin against god, and they would be punished severely.
It is not quite clear whether it was Enlil who committed the gruesome acts of violence against humans, but the evidence seems to point towards Marduk, as he grew more and more desperate to take control of the world. Marduk devised his own plan to control his human worshippers with fear and intimidation. After all, it had worked perfectly well until then. His ‘recruitment campaign’ began shortly before the rise of the Egyptian empire and lasted way beyond the events at Sodom. Marduk travelled the whole world, wherever other gods had settled, proclaiming himself as ‘god above all’. It worked especially well in the biblical lands including Egypt, where the origins of the Bible are set. And so began the calculated recorded manipulation of Humankind by the so-called ‘god of vengeance’ of the Old Testament.
Compare this behavior to that of some notorious dictators many years later like Stalin, Mao and Hitler and you will see there is not much difference. ‘Like father, like son.’ The gods have taught us well and their inherited DNA is clearly visible in our actions even today. We will see some support for this in a few choice extracts from the Bible. Meanwhile, the early activists against Enlil would congregate in places where they would not be easily spotted by potential gossipers and spies. The resistance kept on growing among the humans, and activists were plotting various ways to overcome the brutal gods. It is also clear that certain towns and cities became strongholds of the early revolutionaries, possibly inspired by the very early ‘thinkers’ among humans, or the philosophers who became so highly admired in latter days. Two such cities were Sodom and Gomorra. So while Enlil was nurturing
61
Abraham into a loyal general, other kings saw that the instability among humans was on the rise and realized that there was serious trouble brewing. It must have been common knowledge that humans were growing increasingly unhappy with their gods and the resistance was gaining momentum. Abraham and his followers were constantly manipulated and brainwashed by the gods with stories that the world was full of ‘sinful and evil’ people. Do me a favor!... How is this possible? How was it possible that suddenly it was only Abraham and his clan who were okay in god's eyes while mostly everyone else was evil, involved in unacceptably sinful behavior which meant that they had to be destroyed? Ask yourself again... what could those people have been doing that was so evil? What could they have been scheming that meant the total annihilation of two entire cities? Did the almighty and loving god not have other means at his disposal? Just imagine this kind of behavior today.
Even in outright war situations, the aggressor usually never obliterates entire cities. The humanitarian element elects not to harm innocent women and children. It is mainly the soldiers who are targets in war situations. I must rush to add that although this kind of annihilation is pretty much what George W. Bush did in Afghanistan and Iraq, there were however many survivors. The kind of annihilation that describes the events at Sodom and Gomorra, was much more malicious, with a clear intent to kill all living things in those two cities. Abraham must have become a highly dubious person in the lands through which he moved, so much so, that even kings started to suck up to him in anticipation of the gods' possible retaliation against them. But his unshakable loyalty to his gods brought Abraham rich rewards of all sorts and made him a very wealthy man. His nephew Lot was an active participant in all of this and played a crucial role in delivering information to Abraham, which would in turn be conveyed to the gods and ‘angels’ when they came calling and snooping around for information.
Genesis 13:2-15
“Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. And he journeyed on from the Negeb as far as Bethel to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai, to the place where he had made an altar at the first. And there Abram called upon the name of the LORD. And Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents, so that the land could not support both of them dwelling together; for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together... ‘Is not the
62
whole land before you? Separate yourself from me. If you take the left hand, then I will go to the right, or if you take the right hand, then I will go to the left.’ And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw that the Jordan Valley was well watered everywhere like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zoar (This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorra.). So Lot chose for himself all the Jordan Valley, and Lot journeyed east. Thus they separated from each other. Abram settled in Canaan, while Lot settled among the cities of the valley and moved his tent as far as Sodom. Now the men of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the LORD.”
This was a cunning plan by the gods, to send Lot right into the heart of Sodom and settle down there, while providing his uncle with information about the growing movement of the resistance by the so-called ‘vile and wicked’ humans. Then the gods once again reminded Abraham what his reward would be if he did not disappoint them. “The LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, ‘Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward, for all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever... ”To illustrate how nervous the kings in the surrounding lands must have been of Abraham, here is an extract where one such king tries to secure his future with Abraham, the ‘blue-eyed’ boy of the gods, by doing what politicians have been doing forever, sucking up to the guys with money and power:
Abram Blessed by Melchizedek:
“After his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley). And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was priest of God Most High.) And he blessed him and said, ‘Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!’”
It is painfully clear that everyone was very nervous of the tenuous situation in the land, expecting something major to happen at any minute. There was much activity with gods coming and going all the time, appearing to various people, giving instructions and inflicting harm to potential enemies. And on the ground there must have been much activity among the revolutionaries, which we can tell from the constant references in the Bible to the “evil and vile and sinful” men everywhere. There is a distinct paranoia in the tone with
63
which the accusations keep recurring. The people and the kings of the lands also knew Abraham’s close relationship with the brutal gods, while the manipulation of Abraham continued.
Genesis 15:
“God's Covenant with Abram states: ‘After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.’”
But all this activity was just a build-up for the biggest event of them all, when the gods maliciously planned and executed a full onslaught on Sodom and Gomorra, the safe haven of the revolutionaries under the influence of Marduk, the rebellious god among the Anunnaki. Their slave Abraham had become a devoted and loyal servant who would do anything for his gods. God told Abraham that “the outcry against Sodom and Gomorra was great and the accusations against them were grievous”. Then god said he had decided to “come down and verify” and if it was so, he would destroy them completely. What basically transpired here is: The gods instructed Abraham to go to the cities and spy on the people. Obviously the Bible describes the action very differently, and Abraham is seen to be sent on a mission from god, to identify any virtuous people who may live in those cities, said to be crawling with evil and vile sinners. And as history books are always written by the victors, we know very little about the people of Sodom and Gomorra, besides what the propaganda passages of the Bible declare.
After all, the events were recorded by the victors who were grossly indoctrinated by the manipulative gods. Back with Abraham: Three ‘angels’ appeared to him. He raised his eyes and behold, there were three men with him. Isn't this bloody marvelous! These snoopy ‘angels’ always seem to appear when there is trouble brewing, or just before the shit is about to hit the fan. Abraham obviously recognized them immediately because he bowed his head and pleaded with them. One can clearly see the fearful ‘slave and servant’ mentality in this passage. Two of them were ‘angels’ who must have carried some sort of weapons which they used later to protect themselves, and believe it or not, the third one was 'god' himself in person, telling Abraham what must happen. The Old Testament called the angels ‘malachim’ which literally translates as ‘emissaries who carry divine commands and messages from god’. They made it very clear to Abraham that unless he can produce 50 virtuous men, from the inhabitants of the two cities, the cities will
64
be decimated. This is what really puzzles me and what drives my theory that Abraham was weaned to be a spy for them. Why should they tell Abraham this? Why should he be the one to produce 50 righteous men to save the cities? It could only be because he was asked to snoop around and report back to the gods. They have now come to seek the results of his snooping. At first Abraham showed a hint of a humanity and pleaded with the gods not to kill everyone, for there may be ‘some virtuous or obedient’ people there. God seems to agree with this sentiment and promises not to kill everyone as long as Abraham can find “even one” virtuous person in all of those cities. What is happening here is clearly a setup for failure. The gods have a non-negotiable plan to wipe out these rebels in these ‘sinful’ cities and Abraham is their spy.
The other curious event is that Abraham's nephew Lot, actually moved into Sodom prior to this and it is probably he who was leaking information about the ‘evil sinful people’ of the city, to his uncle. So when the ‘angel warriors’ arrived at the city gate they found Lot waiting for them. This is another little curiosity pointing to premeditation. He took them to his house where they washed and ate, but the word spread like fire through Sodom that the violent angels were at Lot’s house, coming to attack them. Once again it is evident that the residents of Sodom recognized the two ‘angels’ immediately. Could it be because they had been seen doing this before? Just another one of their regular appearances during which they inflicted pain and death on the people? Or was it because they were dressed differently, which included carrying deadly weapons, way beyond the humans’ understanding?
Clearly this was a perfect opportunity for the people of Sodom to lynch the angels and have some level of revenge, even though it would have been on a small scale. Pandemonium broke out as the activists were joined by young and old, demanding that the angels come out. There must have been a lot of heated commotion and adrenalin flowing because this type of situation did not present itself often. This was the perfect trigger for the violent gods to react. It was all the proof they needed to confirm that all the people of Sodom were indeed evil sinners who needed to be destroyed. The angels came out and “smote the people with blindness, so they could not see”. Then they told Lot to gather all his family members and get out of the city as they were about to destroy it. Lot did his best to round them up but he was met with disbelief and ridicule. In the end it was only his wife and two daughters who fled the city with him, under cover of darkness. The following is the most amazing revelation of awesome weaponry and deadly force that the ‘angels’ possessed. The ‘angels’ told Lot, “Escape for thy life, look not behind thee,
65
neither stop thou anywhere in the plain... unto the mountains escape lest thou perish.” Basically meaning, get the hell out of here... get to the mountains and hide in the caves... well out of sight! Then the most remarkable thing happened. Lot pleaded with them to delay the destruction of Sodom long enough for him to reach the town of Zoar, which seemed to be far enough from Sodom. The ‘angels of death’ urged Lot to hurry for they could not unleash their deadly weapons until he arrived there safely. The description which follows in the Bible can only be compared to a nuclear holocaust. And so it must have been. The cities, the people, the vegetation; everything was ‘upheavaled’ by the power of the angels’ awesome weapons. The heat and fire scorched everything in its path. Its radiation and pressure wave affected people some distance away. Why was Lot told not to look back and to hide out of sight?
An explosion of such magnitude would certainly blind one as quickly as a million welding torches would, while the radiation with the pressure wave and the heat would incinerate life for miles away. This is exactly what happened to the disobedient and inquisitive wife of Lot. The explosions behind them must have been the most spectacular and frightening thing they had ever heard. She must have turned back from sheer inquisitiveness to see the destruction... this was not a wise move. The biblical Hebrew version relays that she was turned into “a pillar of salt”. But as Zecharia Sitchin points out, it was incorrectly translated – the proper translation should be ‘a pillar of vapor’. That is pretty much what one would expect from a nuclear blast.
The destruction by the violent angels did not stop there. Once again we find evidence that Lot may have been spying on other people in other cities, as he made his way from one to the other, but for some reason he was not allowed to stay. Could this be because the citizens were familiar with Lot and his close links to the gods? Could it be that they simply did not want Lot around? Were they scared of a similar fate to that of Sodom? The angels of death followed Lot from town to town, destroying them one by one in the same fashion as Sodom. I ask you to evaluate the situation again. What on Earth were the people of those cities accused of to deserve such severe punishment from our ‘ever-loving’ god? I will not settle for the schizophrenic story portrayed in the Bible, even if you do threaten me with nuclear weapons! This is not my God behaving in such a distinctly barbaric way. The anger of the innocent people throughout the lands must have boiled over, which only fuelled the revolutionaries, causing thousands more to join the loud protests
66
against the violent gods everywhere. The angels had no need to look for troublemakers, the cities must have risen up in rebellion against them one by one. The gods simply responded with what they knew best – violence, death and destruction of their disobedient slaves. What all this activity points to is my underlying theory that much of this violent global activity has everything to do with our human DNA, which we inherited from our godly makers, and the evolution thereof. As this human drama unfolds, I am changing my opinion rapidly about the state of evolution of the Anunnaki. The evidence is mounting rapidly that they were probably not much more evolved than we are today. If you look at some of the human rights hurdles we have crossed in the past few decades on Earth, it certainly seems that we may have already surpassed their level of evolution on human rights issues.
I make this statement in the light that we have successfully passed a United Nations law against slavery, while the Anunnaki created an entirely new slave species some 200,000 years ago. What has bothered me about this whole chain of events is their lack of vision and their seeming ignorance of the repercussions. At first, I believed the Anunnaki to have had perfect genomes which allowed them to perform superhuman activities, live forever and perform amazing genetic manipulations. But then I look at how we have advanced in genetic engineering and cloning, and I realize that we have the same capability today, as they had when they arrived on Earth some 450,000 years ago. In many ways, we humans, the miserable ‘slave species’ of the gods, are at a similar level in space travel as the Anunnaki were all those years ago, and before long we WILL be colonizing Mars.
Ask yourself this question. Will our ‘human rights charter’ allow the pioneers on Mars to clone a new sub-species of humans as a lowly worker, with fewer rights than the astronaut settlers? Or will the Mars settlers be allowed to clone a slave species to do all the dirty work, and to be treated as lesser humans? I don't think so. But while we display high levels of sensitivity towards human rights today, our violent genes are still causing havoc among humanity. On that front we have a long way to evolve or to possibly treat this violent imperfection with genetic manipulation in the future. This brings me back to the issue of how evolved the Anunnaki genome might have been when they created us. It is now very clear that their intentions were to create a less intelligent humanoid; one who is smart enough to take instructions, but at the same time ignorant and subservient enough not to challenge his maker.
To achieve this they realized that cloning their own species was not going to do the trick, as it would give the offspring an equal genetic capacity to
67
themselves. The obvious answer to the problem was to cross their own more evolved DNA with that of the Homo erectus, a resident species here on Earth. Although the Anunnaki did possess enough knowledge of genetics to clone a number of possible beings, it's much clearer now, that they probably also had to switch off or disconnect some of the important genes in the proposed slave species, in order to prevent certain advanced characteristics. Sitchin's translations of Sumerian tablets tell us in great detail about how they tried and tried again to get the egg to fertilize in the surrogate females and allow the clone to grow into a healthy baby. They describe the Homo erectus as “Among the animals on the steppe they live, they know not dressing in garments... Shaggy with hair is their whole body... No creature like that has ever in Edin been seen.”
Then they tell us exactly what the purpose of the new creature will be: “A primitive worker shall be created... Our commands will he understand... Our tools he will handle... The toil in the excavations he shall perform.” There are a number of lamentations about their despair as they failed on several attempts to create the ‘primitive worker’. “We must try once more... The admixture needs adjusting... In the crystal bowl the oval of an earth female she inseminated... There was conception... This one more in the likeness of the Anunnaki was.” But their attempts failed on many occasions before they created the perfect species. “Again and again Ninmah rearranged the admixtures” and finally, the result was ‘almost’ perfect. The birth of ‘Adamu’ was met with great excitement by the Anunnaki, but soon they would face many new unexpected problems.
The main hurdle they needed to cross then, was to tame the wild animal behavior of the new slave species, which naturally caused them to rebel against any kind of confinement or oppression. The other hurdle was to instil a sense of loyalty, subservience, obedience and especially fear, into the new slave species. And so we meet the vengeful, bloodthirsty, strict ‘creator-god’ of humanity. He dishes out a code of strict instructions, and he rewards obedience with gifts and leniency, while dispensing harsh pain and suffering to those who disobey his word. While it may sound unbelievable, it was virtually a foolproof plan. Just look at how fearful we still are of the god of vengeance. Now we return to the concept of slavery and how free we think we really are in the 21st century.

THE CREATION OF ADAM
A representation of a Mesopotamian cylinder seal showing the creation of Adam, the first test-tube baby. We see a goddess holding Adam while the others in the laboratory are preparing the DNA mixture and holding up a test-tube of sorts. Notice the Tree-of-Life prominently displayed behind the goddess.
As always, just when you think you know it all, a new door opens to reveal just how little you really know. When I started researching the global history of slavery, I uncovered spine-chilling tales of hardship and misery of such proportion, and stories so unbelievable, that it could make one lose complete faith in humanity. But then I reminded myself of the very simple idea that I am trying to share with you in this book. So let me remind you once again, before I share some of the horrors of modern day slavery with you...
we were created as a slave species... we are still a slave species... displaying all the behavioral characteristics of a slave species.
There is simply no getting away from the overwhelming evidence surrounding us and filling the pages of our pre-history. It is interesting to compare the ‘slave rules’ in the code of law by King Hammurabi from Babylon, some 4,100 years ago, to the plight of sweatshop workers in Chinese factories today. To get the real effect of these modern sweatshops, let me remind you that many of the world’s largest consumer brands are now
69
manufactured in China under despicable, inhumane conditions. These are the new slave markets of the modern civilized world. Even though these factories have received loads of publicity exposing them for violating human rights in ways that we cannot even imagine, all the flag-waving, banner-bearing and chanting liberals in the West keep buying the products that come from these eastern slave markets. What they cannot see, does not affect them, so the gluttonous consumers of the West will continue to consume in ever-growing numbers, propagating the growth of the invisible slave trade of the East. The USA and Europe are clearly the main culprits by virtue of the sheer numbers in the so-called First World countries, while the Asian market just carries on consuming the brands which enslave their relatives. So now that I got that off my chest, let's take a look at a Chinese sweatshop worker's lament, together with a few more nasty revelations about our humanity:
SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONES, often called ‘FINE ZONES’.
One popular method of enslaving workers is the system of imposing fines.
SIDE TRACKING: Yellow lines are marked on the floor; if workers step outside the yellow lines, they are fined.
OVERTIME: Most factories fix a time limit for going to the toilet, usually 3-5 minutes. If they stay longer than the limit, they will be fined.
GOING TO THE TOILET WITHOUT PERMIT:
In some factories, workers have to get a permit tag from the supervisor to go to the toilet. The problem is that there are usually only a few tags for large numbers of workers, mostly women. Over and above these, there are many other ‘creative’ excuses used to impose fines, such as ‘not willing to work overtime’ and ‘not greeting the general manager’. The high wages promised to workers in these ‘fine zone factories’ are mostly eroded to one-third or even less by all the fines imposed. In extreme cases, workers end up in debt to the factory by the end of the month. It is said that the Matsushita (National/Panasonic) Co. Ltd. in Zhuhai City, has the following warning system of yellow cards. First yellow card is a fine of Rmb 20, the second card Rmb 40, the third time, Rmb 80 and the fourth time they receive a yellow card they are fired. Reasons for receiving a yellow card include basic acts such as talking at work, not putting their name tags in the correct position.

I ask you again. How is this possible? How did primitive man suddenly come up with the concept of slavery? And how can modern man try to justify the continued use of forced labour still today? We can now draw a very clear line in human history and find a point when slavery first emerged. As amazing as it may seem, slavery amongst humans emerged at the same time as the sudden ‘civilization’ around 11,000 BC. Soon after the deluge, the Great Flood, Humankind began to enslave each other, doing what they were born into, and what seemed to come quite naturally. Many will argue that we have not evolved at all since then, that we have actually gone backwards. I must agree to a certain extent that dark oppressive cults and religious dogma are of great concern, and are in some ways retarding our spiritual progress.
But there is increasing excitement among the global populace about new discoveries, inventions, space travel and more basic events like the emancipation of various peoples from dictators. Let me remind you that it was only in 1930 that we discovered the planet Pluto, and yet today we have two robots on Mars beaming back visual messages to us. We have certainly evolved, there is no doubt about that. What needs to be established is how much our genome has evolved. If the past 100 years is a form of measure we could use, that would mean the pace of evolution among humans is most likely exponential. The more we evolve, the faster we evolve. And yet it is only the wealthy sectors of world population which seem to be evolving in this way. The very sad thing is that while one fifth of the world's population revels in progress, the majority are trapped by poverty, hunger, disease and even slavery.
As much as economic necessity plays a role in making migrants vulnerable to being trapped as forced laborers, it is mainly the corruption and greed of humans which allows slavery to flourish. The greed gene and the violent gene are as strong as ever in our genome. Why is it that some have developed mechanisms to suppress these characteristics, while others thrive on the effects of these genes? By the end of 1994, there were a total of 260,000 officially-registered FIE (Foreign Invested Entities) enterprises in China, employing around 1.95 million workers, with total investment amounting to US $491 billion. Because they are afforded preferential treatment by the government, FIEs in China are immune to any monitoring. The trend is that government officials and departments turn a blind eye to law-defying FIEs for fear of losing investment. In return, the FIEs have identified this loophole as a psychological advantage and use it as a threat against law-enforcement departments. FIEs comprised at least 40% of all labour dispute cases in 1994.
71
So here we are some 200,000 years after our entry into the universal community of primitive species. Although we arrived as a slave species, we have made remarkable progress against our hostile and vengeful makers, who would stop at nothing to manipulate, control and punish us at every conceivable opportunity. And only some 11,000 years since we adopted civilization, courtesy of some of the more benevolent gods, we are about to colonize Mars. Now that we have the moral high ground on our creator gods, with regard to our view on human rights and equality, we still carry the violent hangover of our slave species character. Although almost invisible, slavery is alive and well on Earth, as it has been for thousands of years. Will we learn from our own experiences when we settle on Mars, or will we do what comes so naturally to us - clone a new slave species and control them with an iron fist. If our slowly evolving DNA has any role in this, we will probably engage in the latter.
Code of Hammurabi Priest King Who Established Babylonia
There is some disagreement about the date of Hammurabi's rule. Some scholars put him at circa 2300 BC, others as late as 1700 BC. Zecharia Sitchin places him at around 1900 BC, which would make Hammurabi one of the first kings after the destruction of Sodom, Gomorrah and other cities by the Anunnaki gods, in pursuit of Marduk the rebellious god and son of Enki, circa 2024 BC. But as we will show, Marduk survived and Babylon became a powerful city under his ‘godship’. In this translation by L. W. King we read what King Hammurabi had to say about his new kingdom as bestowed upon him by Marduk:
“When Anu the Sublime, King of the Anunnaki, and Bel, the lord of Heaven and earth, who decreed the fate of the land, assigned to Marduk, the over ruling son of Ea, God of righteousness, dominion over earthly man, and made him great among the Igigi, they called Babylon by his illustrious name, made it great on earth, and founded an everlasting kingdom in it, whose foundations are laid so solidly as those of heaven and earth; then Anu and Bel called by name me, Hammurabi, the exalted prince, who feared God, to bring about the rule of righteousness in the land, to destroy the wicked and the evil- doers; so that the strong should not harm the weak; so that I should rule over the black-headed people like Shamash, and enlighten the land, to further the well-being of mankind.”
72
These words are wonderful evidence of how the Anunnaki gods controlled the fates of men and bestowed kingship on their chosen few. We also find corroboration of the close relationship between Marduk and the Igigi, who were his followers, who arrived on Earth from Mars when it lost its atmosphere. They are the most likely candidates, who were the progenitors of the Aryans when they married earthling females in years to come. We also read about the “blackheaded people” who were the ‘primitive workers’ and descendants of ‘Adamu’ who were brought up to Sumer to work for the upper-class Sumerians and gods. We also read about the plight of the ‘blackheaded’ people in other tablets and we find references to them mostly with regard to performing the hard labour for which they were created. This proves irrefutably that black people have had the raw end of the deal on this planet since the very first moment of creation.
It is now clear that Adam was black. Some of his descendants were taken north and mixed with the Igigi and other lesser gods of Sumer, creating the white Aryan upper class of the Sumerian civilization. Those relatives of Adam who remained in Africa, remained ‘behind’ in many other ways. While the technology of the Anunnaki gods was being widely applied in the daily lives of the Sumerians, the African descendants of Adam were living in basic and primitive conditions for thousands of years, worshipping their ‘mythological’ gods. But not all the ‘blackheaded’ people who were taken to Sumer had it easy, because most of them remained slaves to the Anunnaki and experienced hardship. Some 2,000 years BC, an unknown scribe wrote a poem describing the sad events which surrounded the fall of the city of Ur. In this lamentation we read about the plight of the ‘blackheaded’ people.
This poem is an excellent corroboration of the aftermath during which Sodom and Gomorra were destroyed by some kind of nuclear disaster, unleashed by the biblical ‘angels’ who visited Abraham and Lot. The time was around 2024 BC. The dots in the following translation of the tablet indicate the damaged parts of the tablet which are illegible.
That law and order cease to exist...
That cities be destroyed, that houses be destroyed...
That Sumer's rivers flow with bitter water...
That the mother care not for her children...
That kingship be carried off from the land...
That on the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates ... there grow sticky plants... That no one tread the highways, that no one seek out the roads,
73
That its well-founded cities and hamlets be counted as ruins,
That its teeming blackheaded people be put to the mace...
The fate decreed by the gods cannot be changed, who can overturn it!” Codes 15 - 20 of

The Code of the Nesilim (Hittites),
Circa 1650 - 1500 BC Random Excerpts.
• If anyone smite a free man or woman and this one die, he shall bring this one and give two persons, he shall let them go to his home.·If anyone smite a male or female slave, he shall bring this one also and give one person, he shall let him or her go to his home.
• If anyone blind a free man or knock out his teeth, formerly they would give one pound of silver, now he shall give twenty half-shekels of silver.
74
• If anyone blind a male or female slave or knock out their teeth, he shall give ten half- shekels of silver, he shall let it go to his home. If anyone cause a free woman to miscarry, if it be the tenth month, he shall give ten half- shekels of silver, if it be the fifth month, he shall give five half-shekels of silver. If anyone cause a female slave to miscarry, if it be the tenth month, he shall give half-shekels of silver.
• If any man of Hatti steal a Nesian slave and lead him here to the land of Hatti, and his master discover him, he shall give him twelve half-shekels of silver, he shall let it go to his home.
• If anyone steal a slave of a Luwian from the land of Luwia, and lead him here to Hatti, and his master discover him, he shall take his slave only.
• If a male or female slave run away, he at whose hearth his master finds him or her, shall give fifty half-shekels of silver a year.
• If a free man and a female slave be fond of each other and come together and he take her for his wife and they set up house and get children, and afterward they either become hostile or come to close quarters, and they divide the house between them, the man shall take the children, only one child shall the woman take.
• If a slave take a woman as his wife, their case is the same. The majority of the children to the wife and one child to the slave. If a slave take a female slave their case is the same. The majority of children to the female slave and one child to the slave. If a slave convey the bride price to a free son and take him as husband for his daughter, nobody dare surrender him to slavery.

• If a slave say to his master: “You are not my master,” if they convict him his master shall cut off his ear.
No matter how much evidence is presented, many readers will find the truth too terrible to digest. Our human nature has evolved in a way that we simply reject gloomy hypotheses of such magnitude in favour of rosier tales told by historians. In this quest for enlightenment, our biggest enemy is our arrogance. In our inability to face the ‘terrible truth’ about our slave-species ancestry, lies the ironic paradox which may ultimately contribute to our demise. Our misplaced pride may eventually destroy us.
Knowledge is power, no matter how old it may be. I suggest that we begin to embrace the knowledge of our distant ancestors, as difficult as it may be, and find a way to understanding the real facts about our origins as the human race and our place on this planet. Unfortunately, every ounce of our human essence screams with the characteristics of a slave species trapped in a cycle of incomprehensible rituals. Enslaved by everything around us, but stubbornly rejecting such suggestions to our graves. We were created as a slave species, we have lived and behaved like a slave species and we are still behaving as such, uncertain of our origins and purpose.
We are constantly faced by a god who is brutal and selfish, imposes all kinds of hardships on humans; changes his name and then does the same thing elsewhere. Or he enslaves humans on this planet in never-ending cycles of karmic madness, in the weird hope that the ignorant humans will learn from their mistakes. How could they possibly learn from their mistakes if they keep returning to the same place, more stupid than before?
The true face of god has not been revealed; our origins have not been explained; we still don't know who we are, where we come from and why we are here. I am talking about the real facts and not the fairy-tale and horror stories which have kept us humans enslaved for too long. You be the judge. Does the outline of our so-called holy religions give you a feeling of confidence, and that we have it all under control? I am afraid it does the opposite. It graphically exposes the insecurity of Humankind and our constant struggle to find out the real truth about ourselves.

'' Infinite Love is the Only Truth Everything Else is Illusion ''
David Icke
The greatest gift we got is not Life, but Love.
Life without love would be just an existence.
The gift of Love enriches everyone beyond imagination.
Love does nurture, heal and make us to be the reflection of the Divine.
What would our existence without love, kindness, healing or Divinity be?
It would simply be an empty circle, nonsensical and dry.
One could not care to live or die.
Love and kindness will makes us to live in joy and happiness.
With Love in our hearts we cannot hate or lie.
To live this way we will have no hate, no anger, no suffering.
Without love life is loneliness and misery,
but with Love we will definitely change the World.
Love alone lifts our Soul and our Spirit to the Divine.
To love truly and living lovingly, we will live the reflection of kindness.
With love and kindness the Earth will be converted to a beautiful place.
What more could one want or ask?
If we all live in Love truly, all of us will experience life beyond imagination.
Love is the greatest Gift to you and to me.
No wonder that "Infinite Love is the Only Truth, Everything Else is Illusion". / David Icke
