Enforcers III

http://watch.pair.com/dan.html

Samson, a Nazarite of the tribe of Dan, judged Israel during the period of Philistine domination.  At the feast celebrating his marriage to a Philistine woman, Samson proposed a riddle to the Philistines: "Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness." Judges 14:14 On the seventh day of the feast, the importunate bride extracted from Samson the interpretation of the riddle and related its meaning to her people, viz., that the carcass of a young lion which Samson had killed with his bare hands had attracted a swarm of bees who produced honey therein.  Samson paid the wager by slaying thirty Philistines -- after which his wife was taken from him.  Angered by their treachery, Samson avenged himself by slaughtering many more Philistines and eventually the Philistine lords.

Several obscure prophecies in the Bible point to the fact that the tribe of Dan will produce the Antichrist.  In the context of these prophecies, Samson's riddle may be a prophecy that the descendants of the tribe of Dan will one day try to destroy the tribe of Judah in jealous revenge for God's judgment on their idolatry.  From the carcass of the young lion [Judaism] the tribe of Dan [typified by the bees] will attempt to produce a golden age [symbolized by honey].  To suggest that the Antichrist will be a Jew is likely to incur accusations of "anti-Semitism" from those who would like to conceal this fact. However, we believe that the Biblical admonition to bless the descendants of Abraham includes exposing the identity of the man of sin who will lead many Jews to their destruction.

The Merovingians, who plan to rule the world from their future throne at Jerusalem, claim to come from the tribe of Judah through Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene.  However, the weight of evidence indicates that they descended from the tribe of Dan.  Although Scripture states that Samson was “of the family of the Danites” [Judges 13:2], Yair Davidy of Brit-Am Israel claims that his lineage includes the Messianic tribe of Judah: “Samson the superman hero came from the Tribe of Dan but his mother was from Judah. Samson, in some respects, was considered a forerunner of the Messiah who will come from Judah but his mother, according to the Midrash will be of the Tribe of Dan.” [Brit-Am Israel newsletter, 2/9/99]

It is through the agency of the British-Israel movement that the Gentiles are being prepared to submit to the Noahide Laws under a restored Sanhedrin.  Yair Davidy posits, “The name DAN means “judge” in Hebrew. Many lawyers and judges in the USA are of Irish descent of a particular type as is much of the police force . . . Descendants of Dan today appear to be concentrated in Ireland, Britain, the USA, and especially Denmark.” [Ibid.] Merovingians can also be found leading pseudo-Christian organizations as many profiles in the Council for National Policy and Discernment Ministries reveal.  These British-Israel agents actively promote the Hebrew Roots / Messianic Movement as the catalyst for Judaizing Christians.

The following paper is meant to serve as a study guide for understanding the enigmatic design of Satan to use the apostate tribe of Dan as an instrument and cover for a false messiah. The reader will be able to review the many Scriptures which concern the tribe of Dan -- the prophecies, the Danite people, their land, history, idolatry and symbols -- in conjunction with relevant information from other sources. A chapter of Guardians of the Grail by J. R. Church provides further insights on The Roots of the Merovingians.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Introduction

I.    Consider the Prophecies

Different Bible versions allow for different interpretations of prophecy.  Therefore, the traditional view represented by the King James Version is used in this report.  Scripture indicates the following: That the falsechrist is Jewish; He will come from the region of Dan/Mount Hermon [Mount Sion] in the north of Israel as a false fulfillment of Romans 11:26; The tribe of Dan will be rejected by God as part of the 144,000 and will be used by God to bring judgment upon Israel and the unbelieving world.

II.    Consider the People

The Arcadian roots of the Merovingians, Spartans and Celts seem to be connected to the tribe of Dan because of their use of Dan-related place-names, personal names and peculiarities, i.e., Baal/goddess worship and architectural skills.

III.   Consider the Locations

The Tribe of Dan inherited the pre-flood paganism [Baal worship] of the Canaanites [descendants of Ham and his son, Canaan] who occupied the northern area of Palestine at Mt. Hermon/Sion. Located at the 33rd degree, the ancient tribe of Dan influenced the basis of modern Freemasonry.

IV.  Consider the Symbols

The symbols of the tribe of Dan are used by the Merovingians, the House of Stewart [Prince Michael] and the Masonic authors of the Protocols of Sion [Representatives of Sion of the 33rd degree].

V.   Consider the Sin

The Tribe of Dan was involved in a substitute worship system at Mt. Hermon/Sion that was both opposed to and removed from the true worship of God at Mount Zion in Jerusalem.

VI.  Consider the Plan

The Judeo-Masonic conspirators have revealed to their own elect and concealed from the profane the fact that a Danite false messiah will reign from the territory of Mount Sion in Dan rather than Mount Zion in Jerusalem.  Their ultimate objective is to recreate the pre-flood pagan culture which God once judged and will judge again.
 

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of the report will be to consider six major areas concerning the tribe and territory of Dan in order to see if there is any merit, at this point in history, to the following tradition as it was expressed by the early church fathers and the Jewish Encylopedia.

"Irenaeus ('Heresies' Vol. 302), Hippolytus ('De Christo et Antichristo', pp. 14,15), and other Church fathers have a tradition which can not but be of Jewish origin, that the Antichrist comes from the tribe of Dan, and base it upon Jer. VIII.16: 'The snorting of his (the enemies) his horses was heard from Dan'. . . Irenaeus remarks that Dan is, in view of this tradition, not in the Apocalypse (Rev.vii.5-7) among the 144,000 saved ones of the twelve tribes. Nor is the omission of Dan in I Chron. iv. et seq. unintentional. . . Dan became the very type of evildoing. He was placed in the north (Num.ii.25), this being the region of darkness and evil (Jer. i.14) because of his idolatry which wrapped the world in darkness (Num.ii.)."  [Singer, The Jewish Encyclopedia, ("Dan"), p. 423]

"And Jeremiah does not merely point out his [Antichrist] sudden coming, but he even indicates the tribe from which he shall come where he says 'We shall hear the voice of his swift horses from Dan; the whole earth shall be moved by the voice of the neighing of his galloping horses: he shall also come and devour the earth, and the fulness thereof, the city also, and they that dwell therein.' This, too, is the reason that this tribe is not reckoned in the Apocalypse along with those which are saved." [Irenaeus, "Against Heresies," Vol. I of Ante-Nicean Fathers, p. 559]
 

    A.    The Falsechrist

        1.    He is a Jew

Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers . . .nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. Daniel 11:37

We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble! The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein. For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD. Jeremiah 8:15-17

Please note the context of Isaiah 14 is Lucifer's fall to earth in the endtime [Revelation 12].

Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent. . . Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.  Isaiah 14:29,31

        1.    Will come from Sion

And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. . . Romans 11:26

        1.    Dan means "judge"

And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan. Genesis 30:6

And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. . . Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel. Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward. I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD." Genesis 49:1,16-18

For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim. . . I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.  I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.  I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.  I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.  For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end. Jeremiah 4:15, 23-27

And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. Of the tribe[s] of Juda... Reuben... Gad... Aser... Nepthalim... Manasses... Simeon... Levi... Issachar... Zabulon... Joseph... Benjamin were sealed... Revelation 7:4-8

They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again. Amos 8:11-14

II.    CONSIDER THE PEOPLE

    A.    The Tribe of Dan

        1.    Samson

And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not. . .And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him. Judges 13:2, 24

And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee. The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle. Exodus 31:6,7

And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father's, The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord David thy father. II Chronicles 2:13,14

"But neither Athelstan and his son, nor the Comacine Masons, serve to account for one of the most salient aspects of later Freemasonry -- the fact that it contains a major skein of Judaic tradition filtered through Islam. The corpus of legends central to Freemasonry -- including, of course, the building of Solomon's Temple -- derives ultimately from Old Testament material, both canonical and apocryphal, as well as from Judaic and Islamic commentaries upon it. It is worth looking at the most important of these legends -- the murder of Hiram Abiff -- in some detail. The Hiram story is rooted in the context of the Old Testament. It figures in two books, I Kings and II Chronicles." [Baigent, The Temple & The Lodge, p. 124]

"Merovingian geographical place-names and personal names were sometimes Jewish. In the 6th Century a brother of King Clothair was named Samson while Miron "Le Levite" was a count. 'Sion' and 'Le Levite' were Merovingian towns in France. Scholars have even traced Merovingian 'Salic Law' back to Judaic law." [Bradley, p. 179]

"The Merovingian's. . .tradition of long hair and the name Samson among the Royal House would indicate the descent from Samson and thus the Tribe of Dan." [Bloomer]

"The Merovingian kings. . .were called the long-haired Monarchs because they placed great value on their long hair and believed that it gave them strength. One wonders whether Samson was a Merovingian ancestor!" [Van Buren, p. 30]

        1.    Arcadians/Spartans are possibly from the Tribe of Dan

"Now, the question remains, how do we know the Spartans were the offspring of the tribe of Dan? . . . Aside from the fact that the Spartans wore long hair as a symbol of their power (like Samson) there is a legend written about the son of Belus, king of the Spartans -- in which is given the story of one named 'Danaus,' who arrived in Greece with his daughters by ship. According to the legend, his daughters called themselves Danades. They introduced the cult of the mother goddess, which became the established religion of the Arcadians and developed over the years into the worship of Diana. . .The Spartans so loved their king that they called themselves Danaans -- long before they adopted the name of Spartans.  Also in the legend is a record of the arrival of 'colonists from Palestine.' Please note, the man who headed the expedition was named Danaus. He may well have been of the tribe of Dan, and thus would have been the progenitor of the ancient Spartans." [Church, p. 120-21]

"In Greek myth. . .[is] the legend of King Belaus, one Danaus, who arrives in Greece with his daughters, by ship. His daughters are said to have introduced the cult of the mother goddess, which became the established cult of the Arcadians. According to Robert Graves the Danaus myth records the arrival in the Peleponnesus of 'colonists from Palestine.' Graves states that King Belus is in fact Baal, or Bel -- or perhaps Belial from the Old Testament." [Baigent, Holy Blood, p. 275]

"At that particular time Arcadia was ruled by Spartans. . . The Spartans placed a special magical significance on their long hair . . .associated with their great strength. There appears to have been a relationship between the Spartans and the Jews. In the Apocryphal we read: 'It has been found in writing concerning the Spartans and the Jews that they are brethren and are of the family of Abraham.'  (Maccabees I 12:21)" [Van Buren, p. 45]

"There are certain facts that suggest that the Celts might have derived from a Jewish tradition from the East. The Celtic body of ecclesiastical and civil knowledge was Druidism. Their system can be traced to about 1800 B.C. . . . It is recorded in 'Welsh Triads' that Hugh Gadarn synthesized the wisdom of the ancients for those whom he led west from. . .Sumer and Mesopotamia. . . In 'The Psalter of Cashel' it states that: 'The Tuatha de Danaan' ruled in Ireland for about two centuries, and were highly skilled in architecture and other arts from their long residence in Greece.' The Tuatha de Danaan were the descendants of Danaus, the son of Belus, who went with his fifty daughters to Argos, the home of his ancestrous Io. In Irish legends the Tuatha de Danaan, who were considered to be demi-gods, . . .were said to have possessed a . . .Grail-like vessel. . . These teachers of wisdom . . . were the founders of the Druidic priesthood." [Van Buren, p. 141-142]

III.    CONSIDER THE LOCATIONS

    A.    The Land of Canaan/Palestine

        1.    Canaan

And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness. And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. Genesis 9:22-25

"Canaan. . .is the older name of Palestine." [Unger, p. 202]

"Canaan is the listed as the fourth son of Ham." [Unger, p. 953]

             a.    The root words of Palestine are Peles and Heth

#6429 Pelesheth, a region of Syria:--Palestina, Palestine, Philistia, Philistine." [Strong's Concordance, "The Hebrew & Chaldee Dictionary"]

    1)    Heth is the son of Canaan

And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth. Genesis 10:15

    2)    Pelles

"In the Grail tradition of Botticellis' time, the Arcadian sea-lord, Pallas, was manifest in King Pelles . . . the Fisher King is sometimes Pelles (from Pallas, the ancient Bistea Neptunis of the Merovingian ancestry."  [Gardner, pp. 176, 238]

    b.    Pales[tine] = of Phales/phallos

". . .-ine, a suffix of adjectives of Greek or Latin origin, meaning 'of or pertaining to,' 'of the nature of,' 'made of,' 'like'. . . [Random House College Dictionary]

". . .at Rome. . .[a] male Pales was sometimes spoken of corresponding in some respects to Pan." [The New Encyclopedia Britannica, "Pales," p. 600]

"The fire. . . was looked upon as the purifier, and in April every year, at the. . .feast of Pales, both men and cattle, for this purpose, were made to pass through the fire." [Hislop, quoting Ovid, p. 236]

"At Cyllene, Hermes was worshipped by the name of Phales - derived from Phallos - and in the image of a phallic stone. More usually. . .his phallic image was a herm. Originally a stone heap. . ." [Eliade, Encyclopedia of Religion, Phallus, p. 264]

Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake. . .The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina. . .all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away. Exodus 15:1,14,15

The standard of the camp of Dan shall be on the north side by their armies: and the captain of the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. Numbers 2:25a

". . .Dan became the very type of evildoing. He was placed in the north (Num. ii.25), this being the region of darkness and evil (Jer. i.14). . ." [Singer, Jewish Encyclopedia ("Dan"), p. 423]

    1.    By the sea

. . .Why did Dan remain in ships? Judges 5:17

"Dan was the last of the tribes to receive his portion, which was the smallest of the twelve. It had. . .a line of seacoast which seems to have led the tribes to engage in fishing in commerce. . ." [Unger, p. 273]

"Part of the tribe of Dan, unable to secure its inheritance, migrated north and captured Laish, renaming it Dan." [Atlas of the Bible Lands, p. 8]

    a.    Located at the 33rd degree [both latitude and longitude according to the Paris Zero Meridian]

"Prior to the adoption in 1884 of Greenwich as the international Zero Meridian, each country made use of its own. The French Zero Meridian. . . is still used on the official maps produced by the Institut Geographique National. . .[Giovanni Domenico] Cassini's meridian arc is still marked upon French maps as the Paris Zero." [Lincoln, pp. 75, 141]

Note: Using the Greenwich Zero Meridian, the northern territory of Dan lies at 35.5 degrees longitude. However, if the Paris Zero Meridian is used, having a 2.5 difference from Greenwich, Dan is found to lie at the 33rd degree longitude and latitude.

   b.    Located at Keter, the first sephirot on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life

"The paradisical theme park. . .will be marked upon a special map of 'The Spiritual Geography of the Holy Land', with sacred sites and the alignments between them and upon which a diagram of the [Kabbalistic] 'Tree of Life' is traced marking ten such sites. . .over the whole land of Israel. . ." [Genesis of Eden]

Note: Planetary positions set out upon the Tree of Life reveal the first sephirot [Keter] as the "One". [Fiedler, p. 236-37]

"Ancient myths and rites present Saturn as the god "One," the first king, and the all-encompassing  Heaven man." [Talbot, p. 30]

In Chevalier, p. 734, Pan/Saturn is revealed as the All. This would place the Panias/Dan area in the Keter position. [Section III.D.3]

        1.    Laish/Leshem [Lion]

And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan. Deuteronomy 33:22

And the coast of the children of Dan went out too little for them: therefore the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages. Joshua 19:47-48

And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name of the city was Laish at the first. Judges 18:29

"It was first a Canaanite sanctuary for the worship of Baal; perhaps Baal-Hermon (Judg.3:3; I Chron. 5:23].  It was called by the Greeks Paneas because of its cavern. . .dedicated to the worship of the god Pan." [Unger, p. 191]

And the coast of the children of Dan went out too little for them: therefore the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages. Joshua 19:47-48

Panias was called by the Jews "Dan" or "Mizvar Dan" (Fort of Dan). [Encyclopedia Judaica, "Banias", p. 162]

Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtimhodshi; and they came to Danjaan, and about to Zidon. . . II Samuel 24:6

"Hebrew dan ya'an, 'Dan played a pipe', indicates that it was a suburb of Dan." [Tenney, Zondervan Pictorial Bible Dictionary, p. 199]

". . . later the Greeks built a shrine to Pan, the god of nature, and called the place Paneas (the city of Pan)." [Thompson, p. 1734]

"The place had been named Panias, for it served as the favorite seat of Pan, a Greek fertility god." [Pfeiffer, p. 197]

"The gods gave him the name of Pan, meaning 'All Things'. . .because he is a universal tendency incarnate. He was the god of All Things, doubtless indicative of the procreative current charging All Things, All Gods or All Life." [Chevalier, p. 734]

"One of the main sources of the Jordan rises in the grotto of Pan. . ." [Herberman, Catholic Encyclopedia, "Caesarea Philippi," p. 135]

". . .the Jordan river that weaves like a snake along the eastern border of the land of Israel is named after the ancient tribe of Dan. Jordan means 'the going down of the Dan.'" [Church, p. 124]

"In 4 B.C. this area became tetrarchy of Herod's son Philippus who refounded Paneas as Caesarea Philippi." [Freedman, "Ituraea", p. 583]

"A remarkable monument, which has seen all the periods of the history of Caesarea Philippi, is the vast castle above the site of the city, built in the Syro-Greek or even Phoenician times and, after receiving additions from the Saracens and Franks, is still the most remarkable fortress in the Holy Land." [Hackett, p. 341]

From the second century the city was called "Caesarea Panias." [Singer, Jewish Encyclopedia, "Caesarea Philippi," p. 488]

In 61 A.D. Caesarea Philippi was renamed Neronias. [Encyclopedia Judaica, "Banias", p. 162]

"Agrippa II called the city Neronias. . .as is proved from the city's coins. . ." [Hastings, "Caesarea Philippi," p. 338]

From the 2nd century the city is called Caesarea Panias. [Singer, Jewish Encyclopedia, "Caesarea Philippi", p. 488]

"Paneas then again asserts itself with Caesarea, and finally Caesarea disappears, and Paneas takes permanent possession in the Arabic form of Banias, for the Arabs have no 'p'." [Hastings, "Caesarea Philippi, p. 388]

"Under the simple name of Paneas it was the seat of a Greek bishopric in the period of the great councils, and of a Latin bishopric during the crusades." [Hackett, "Caesarea Philippi", p. 340]

"During the crusades it was called Belinas" [Encyclopedia Judaica, "Banias," p. 162]

And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley. Judges 1:34

"Hermon means (Forbidden [Place])." [Encyclopedia Britannica, 15th Ed., 1987, "Hermon, Mount" p. 876]

"The interpretation of Hermon is 'anathema'. . ." [Jerome, "Homily 66," p. 70]

". . .Hermes[']. . .name is Greek. The later Greek-speaking peoples did not know the name that the pre-Hellenic inhabitants had given to the god of these stone heaps; and the name. . .was doubtless withheld from them. Therefore, they could only refer to him as 'Hermes' from their word for 'stone heap'. In the Laconian dialect. . .he was known as 'Herman', He of the stone heap. . ." [Cavendish, p. 1289]

"On one of its three secondary peaks, there are ruins of a circular wall within which lies a heap of hewn stone, said to be remnants of a Syrian altar, possibly in honor of Baal." (cf. Jgs.3.3; I Chr.5.23)" [New Catholic Encyclopedia, "Hermon, Mount", p. 1078]

". . .Thoth-Hermes. . .was the biblical Ham. . .deriving from the word Herma which relates to the 'pile of stones'." [Gardiner, Genesis of the Grail Kings, p. 219]

"The Greeks called him [Mercury] Hermes. . .Pan, the god of shepherds was the son of Mercury." [Burns, pp. 146-7]

And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. Genesis 6:1,2

". . .legends anterior to Gnosticism. . .attributed a sacred character to Mount Hermon, the supposed residence of the children of Seth at the beginning of human existence." [Doresse, p. 255]

"The Valentinians . . .regarded Seth['s]. . .sons. . .to be the 'Sons of God,' who, upon Mount Hermon, led a pious and secluded life cherishing the nostalgia for paradise." [Doresse, p. 39, note 97]

"Hittite and biblical records support the use of Hermon as a dwelling place of gods. . Ritual centers were located at the foot of Hermon: Baal-gad. . .in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon (Josh.11:17) and Baal-hermon (I Chr. 5:23)." [Freedman, "Hermon, Mount, p. 158]

"We have read in a certain apocryphal book [Enoch 6:5-8] that when the sons of God were coming down to the daughters of men, they descended upon Mount Hermon. . ." [Jerome, Homilly 45, p. 338]

"And the angels, the children of heaven, saw them and desired them [handsome and beautiful daughters]. . . and they descended into Ardos which is the summit of Hermon." [I Enoch 6:1-5, Charlesworth, Vol. I, p. 15]

"From ancient times the mountain was a place of worship, where the god H.[ermon] (perhaps called Baal-Hermon) was venerated." [Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Bible, "Hermon," p. 987]

"More than twenty temples have been surveyed on Mount Hermon and its environs. This is an unprecedented number in comparison with other regions of the Phoenician coast." [Freedman, "Hermon, Mount," p.159]
 

    A.    The Bee

        1.    Samson

And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion. And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion. Judges 14:8-9 [Judges 14:14]

"Be Wise As Serpents revealed. . .how all the heads (presidents) of the LDS and RLDS [Mormons] have been descendants of the Merovingian dynasty, and they and the Masons have both used the Merovingian symbol the bee." [Springmeier, p. 80]

        1.    Mount Hermon/Sirion [Deut. 3:8-9]

The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.  He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn. Psalm 29:5,6

Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion...Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns. Psalm 22:12,13,21

"Scotland's Royal House of Stewart arose from a marital union of the hereditary lines of Jesus and his brother James -- springing from the Merovingians' own source on the one hand, and from the Celtic Kings of Britain on the other. The Stewarts emerged, therefore, as a truly unique Grail dynasty and have long been known as the 'House of Unicorns'. . .Along with the David Lion of Judah and the Franco-Judaic fleur-de-lys, the Desposynic Unicorn was incorporated in the Royal Arms of Scotland." [Gardiner, Bloodline, p. 315]

        1.    The Tribe of Dan

And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan. Deuteronomy 33:22

And after a time [Samson] returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion. And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion. Judges 14:8-9 [Judges 14:14]

Many  bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion...Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns. Psalm 22:12, 13, 21

Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards. Song of Solomon 4:8

"Scotland's Royal House of Stewart arose from a marital union of the hereditary lines of Jesus and his brother James -- springing from the Merovingians' own source on the one hand, and from the Celtic Kings of Britain on the other. The Stewarts emerged, therefore, as a truly unique Grail dynasty and have long been known as the 'House of Unicorns'. . .Along with the David Lion of Judah and the Franco-Judaic fleur-de-lys, the Desposynic Unicorn was incorporated in the Royal Arms of Scotland." [Gardiner, Bloodline, p. 315]

        1.    Tribe of Dan

"Dan's position in the journey was on the North of the Tabernacle, with Asher and Naphtali. The standard of the tribe was of white and red and the crest upon it an eagle. . .Jacob had compared Dan to a serpent. Ahiezer substituted the eagle, the destroyer of serpents, as he shrank from carrying an adder upon his flag." [Unger, p. 273]

". . . [priests] after the Order of Melchizedek . . .were the immortals to whom the term 'phoenix' was applied and their symbol was the mysterious two-headed bird now called an eagle, a familiar and little understood Masonic emblem." [Hall, p. 108]

". . .the two-headed eagle. . .is usually depicted in two colors of great mystical significance: red and white."  [Cirlot, p. 93]

        1.    May be a symbol of the portion of Tribe of Dan which continued to live in the Mediterranean coastal territory.
            [See Section III.C.1].

"The relevant sea-lord was King Pallas. . .whose symbol was a fish. . .the fish was an emblem of the Merovingian along with the Lion of Judah." [Gardiner, Bloodline, p. 175]

V.    CONSIDER THE SIN

    A.    False gods

        1.    Micah's idols

And these went into Micah's house, and fetched the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. Then said the priest unto them, What do ye?. . .And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land. And they set them up Micah's graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh. Judges 18:18,30-31

Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan. And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan. I Kings 12:28-30

And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land: they increased from Bashan unto Baalhermon and Senir, and unto mount Hermon. I Chronicles 5:23

"The Canaanites worshiped Baal as the god of rain and thunder, and sexual orgies were enacted to provoke his presence in the land." [Butler, p. 1164]

"Astarte was worshipped conventionally 'on the high places'; hills and mountains -- Mount Hermon, for example -- abounded with her shrines." [Baigent, Temple & the Lodge, p. 126]

"Fortunately, a stone image of Asherah has survived. . .found in ruins of Dan, where the golden calf was worshipped in what is now northern Israel, [which] dates from the eighth century B.C.E. The Goddess strongly resembles her neighboring deities Anet, Astarte, Ashtaroth." [Johnson, p. 315]

And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel? Judges 18:19,30

And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi. I Kings 12:31

    Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel. And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:
    If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.
    Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.
    And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan. And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi. I Kings 12:25-32

    And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.
    So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense. I Kings 12:25-33

According to Parker's Astrology, the Eighth Astrological House is October 24- November 22. Scorpio is the eighth astrological sign.

"To Dan was given the symbol of Scorpio, which, in the ancient Egyptian zodiac was a snake." [J.R. Church, Guardians of the Grail, p. 117]

"And perhaps there is significance in the fact that the Eighth House of astrology rules the mysteries of sex, death and rebirth -- and the occult." [Picknett and Prince, p. 204]
 

    A.    Change Scripture

        1.    Confuse Mt. Sion/Mt. Hermon with Mount Zion at Jerusalem

In the KJV, the Old Testament contains only 2 renderings of Mt. Sion, which is Mt. Hermon. [Deut. 4:48, Psalm 65:1] However, the Septuagint changes all of the Hebrew spellings of "Zion" to the Greek "Sion". The lack of distinction between Mount Hermon and Mount Zion creates confusion. Mount Sion, the true Sion is the Lords Holy Mountain in heaven.

In the Strong's Concordance, Zion and Sion are different words:

Deuteronomy 4:48 - . . . even unto mount Sion, which is Hermon. . . [KJV]

#7865 Siy'on {see-ohn'} from 7863; n pr mont AV - Sion 1; 1 Sion = "lofty" 1) another name for Mount Hermon

Isaiah 33:20 - Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem. . . [KJV]

#6726 Tsiyown {tsee-yone'} the same (regularly) as 6725; TWOT - 1910; n pr loc AV - Zion 153, Sion 1; 154 Zion = "parched place" 1) another name for Jerusalem especially in the prophetic books

"The Prieure de Sion by its very name appears to be associated with Mount Zion. However, the Rock of Sion is spoken of in Masonic rites of the eighteenth century. It seems that the Masons gave another significance to the Rock of Sion, other than that which indicates the sacred mount situated south of Jerusalem." [Van Buren, p. 136] Substituting the mountain of Baal with the Holy mountain of the Lord located in Heaven.

"In Celtic, Zion means Mount of Stone or Fortress. Huge monoliths and piles of stones were positioned to form circles. The latter were called Si'un or Caers and were placed on top of hills or mounds. . . On May-eve and November 1st the Druids built great fires on the Zions, so that for miles around the flames on the top of the mound could be seen by the people. . . The Chief Druid stood in the centre of the circle during the service that approached a large central stone which was called. . .the Stone of the Covenant. . . In Ireland it was called Bethel, the house of God." [Van Buren, pp. 142-43]

Psalm 68:15,16 The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan. 16 Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in forever. [KJV]

A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; a mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan. [NASB]

Psalm 48:2 - Beautiful for situation. . .is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. [KJV]

Beautiful in elevation. . .is Mount Zion in the far north, The city of the great King. [NASB, RSV, NRSV]

". . .my eyes can scarcely withdraw themselves from [Mount] Hermon soaring on my right hand. The expression in Isaiah v.26 occurs to me with added meaning. The Great Illumer describes Jehovah seated yonder on that lookout, from which all Palestine is clearly spread before the eye." [Robert Morris (founder of the Eastern Star), Freemasonry in the Holy Land: A Narrative of Masonic Explorations Made in 1868, in the Land of King Solomon and the Two Hirams, p.537]

When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?. . .And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. Matthew 16:13; 17:1

"According to an old tradition, the scene of the Transfiguration was Mount Tabor." [Eidersheim, p. 92, note 1]

"There can be no doubt that one of the southern peaks of Hermon was the scene of the Transfiguration."  [McClintock, p. 209]

"It has been widely held that the Hermon region was the scene of our Lord's transfiguration." [Unger, p. 555]

"Aleister Crowley. . .taught that the Great Work [is] the 'transformation of humanity'. . .we are told that the Great Work 'may only be begun in the spring, under the signs of Aries, Taurus, and Gemini. . .it was May 1st when the ancient druids honored their great Sun God and Goddess with an uninhibited festival complete with initiations, sex orgies, drunken revelry, and human sacrifice." [Marrs, p. 230] [See Section VI.A.1]

When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?. . .And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:13,18

But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect. . . Hebrews 12:22-23

"We ought also. . .to mention the. . .Druses -- so-called worshipers of the devil, established in the mountains where numbers of Judeo-Christians took refuge in the first centuries of our era. The image of a serpent appears, sculptured upon the portals of their sanctuaries; and their doctrine contained a good deal of Gnosticism." [Doresse, p. 316]

"The earliest writings about this society, which was known as the Brotherhood or the Order of the Rosy Cross, began to circulate in Europe around the year 1605. They were contained in a manuscript called The Restoration of the Decayed Temple of Pallas and provide the earliest known constitution of the Order." [Howard, p. 44]

Daniel 11:37 - Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers. . . [KJV]

And he will show no regard for the gods of his fathers. . .[ASV, NASB, NIV]

He shall give no heed to the gods of his fathers. . .[RSV]

And he shall not regard any gods of his fathers . . .[Septuagint]

And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. Revelation 5:5

"Samson in some respects was considered a forerunner of the Messiah who will come from Judah but his mother, according to the Midrash will be of the tribe of Dan." [Yair Davidy, "Dan"]

"There was a very great 'Jewish' component among the Sicambrian Franks/Merovingians and, because they practiced polygamy (another Merovingian peculiarity) they left a great number of offspring. These aristocratic Merovingian children married into almost all of the noble families of Europe during the 5th, 6th, and 7th Centuries. This has prompted more than one historian to suggest that the foundation of European nobility is Jewish!" [Bradley, p. 180]

FBI gets more domestic spy power

Removing 'unnecessary bureaucratic obstacles'

Ashcroft: 'War against terrorism is the highest mission.'

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- In a move raising concern among some civil libertarians and lawmakers, the Justice Department said Thursday it is easing restrictions on domestic surveillance for FBI counterterrorism operations.

"The war against terrorism is the central mission and the highest priority of the Federal Bureau of Investigation," said U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft.

Because of that priority, he said the department is granting FBI field offices more authority to launch terrorism and undercover investigations, shifting such responsibility away from the agency's headquarters in Washington.

Speaking at a news conference Thursday, FBI Director Robert Mueller said the changes remove "unnecessary bureaucratic obstacles."

Such as: The Constitution of the United States of America

The changes follow widespread criticism that the nation's premier law enforcement agency failed to follow up on clues that could have, collectively, pointed to a pending terrorist attack before September 11, and that FBI headquarters had stymied the efforts of field offices to pursue such clues.

And they were announced one day after Mueller and Ashcroft outlined an overhaul of the FBI with the prevention of terrorist attacks now the agency's top priority.

Will 'Big Brother' be everywhere? Is Big Brother intending to be omnipresent?

The changes announced Thursday to what are known as the Attorney General Guidelines also allow field agents to seek warrants without having to go through headquarters.

The changes allow the FBI to gather information on individuals even if they are not under criminal investigation. The techniques would include monitoring Internet sites, as well as libraries and religious institutions.

Some of the changes were greeted warily by civil libertarian groups. (False front groups only yapping dogs of sedition mongerers)

"People who go to places of worship, people who go to libraries, people who are in chat rooms, are going to have 'Big Brother' listening in even though there's no evidence that they are involved in anything illegal whatsoever," said Laura Murphy, a spokeswoman for the American Civil Liberties Union.

And you were told Ashcroft's predecessor Reno's comments regarding the greates threat was Christians and patriots and defenders of the constitution.....Ha!

But Justice Department officials said the changes only give the FBI the same powers that private citizens have.

"Under the old rules, the FBI could not go into public places to seek information unless it was tied to a crime that had already been committed," said one official. "We are turning the focus of the FBI 180 degrees from prosecution to prevention of future terrorist acts. All these guidelines do is free those agents to use every means possible under the Constitution and the law to keep us safe."

Critics can't have it both ways

"What it means is that the FBI will be able to do what any private citizen or any cop on the beat can do, which is go anywhere the public can go for information," the official added.

So who needs cops, we are now a federalized police state.

Oliver "Buck" Revell, ex-associate director of the FBI, said critics can't have it both ways -- faulting the agency for not doing enough to thwart terrorist attacks, but complaining when the agency turns to more aggressive information-gathering techniques.

The whole reason for the reports released regarding the cover-ups was only to get us to a centralized Police State. But when will we have the normal return of freedom?....just a little longer they will say. All the while freely tightening the noose.

"Some of these activities will be chilling, there's no question of it," Revell said. "But if the public expects and if the Congress expects there to be prevention of terror activities, there's going to have to be the collection of information, and that collection at times will certainly be problematic to people's concerns."

That issue of coordination with the field offices has become critical in light of a memo from an FBI whistle-blower (coordinated setup) in Minneapolis who said headquarters stymied efforts last summer to learn about one terrorist suspect, Zacarias Moussaoui, who was later charged as a conspirator in the September 11 hijackings.

Had the new guidelines been in place last summer, the FBI field agents in Minneapolis would not have had to get headquarters approval for seeking a search warrant in the Moussaoui case. Approval could now come from the "special agent in charge" at a field office.

In the summer of 1936, the still-distant threat of Nazism cast an unexpected shadow across the hinterlands of Long Island.

That spring, Adolf Hitler had been preparing for war. His newly mobilized troops rolled into the Rhineland, unopposed by the Allies. It was the first of a series of Nazi military adventures setting the stage for World War II.

An undated photo at Camp Siegfried shows the swastika and the salute, familiar Nazi symbols, on display. When the Nazis invaded Poland in 1939, the campground was out of business.

On Long Island, Nazism invaded Yaphank in the form of a summer retreat called Camp Siegfreid.

Located on a wooded lakefront near the mid-Suffolk village, the camp was ostensibly a summer place for youngsters and a weekend campground for adults. In reality it was more dangerous -- a project sponsored by the German-American Bund, which had been established to promote Hitlerism in this country.

The ``Camp Siegfried Special'' is welcomed as it pulls into
Yaphank station. The train would pull out of Penn Station
at 8 a.m. every Sunday, carrying thousands of bundists
from the greater New York area and other cities.

At the time, supporters of Hitler and Italian dictator Benito Mussolini boasted that under fascism, the trains ran on time. That summer, the bund's ``Camp Siegfried Special'' would also roll on time, pulling out of Penn Station at 8 a.m. every Sunday, bringing thousands of bundists from the greater New York area and other cities to the Yaphank depot.

At first, Long Island merchants reacted happily to the influx of potential customers, and many businesses took out ads in the bund's national newspaper. One farmer turned his fields into a parking lot for 500 cars, at 25 cents a car. Visitors were even invited to march through the village on the way from the Yaphank station to the camp.

The scene, at first, was more bucolic than bullying. When the lakefront campsite opened in mid-1935, it was known, innocuously enough, as the ``Friends of New Germany Picnic Grounds,'' sponsored by the so-called German-American Settlement League.

But the following summer, the name was changed to Camp Siegfried, after the legend of the medieval Germanic warrior, one of the heroic myths adopted by the Nazis.

In the camp brochures, images of sylvan riverbanks and shaded woods were shown. Just another summer resort for adults and children, said Ernest Mueller, president of the German-American Settlement League. No barracks or weaponry here, he said, denying rumors. But one brochure promised: ``You will meet people who think as you do.'' And on weekends, like-minded adult campers arrived in the martial uniform of the German-American Bund: black breeches and boots, gray shirts and black ties.

The bund, organized in 1936, had evolved from a series of nationwide German-American groups formed after World War I. The Free Society of Teutonia was organized in 1924, followed by the Friends of the Hitler Movement and the Friends of the New Germany.

Carrying flags emblazoned with swastikas, the emblem of the Nazi movement, older bundists and young campers paraded in uniform -- showing off stiff-armed salutes and singing the ``Horst Wessel Song,'' a Nazi anthem. Later, it was discovered that plans to commit espionage and sabotage in the future were also discussed covertly.

Bundists at Camp Siegfried pose beside a fake cannon, figuratively aimed at Rep. Samuel Dickstein, a Democrat from Manhattan who headed a committee investigating the bund.

``We remain oblivious to the Nazi prototype that existed in our own backyard,'' Marvin Miller wrote in ``Wunderlich's Salute,'' the first history of the bundist movement on Long Island, published in 1983. Now 63, Miller was a Long Island high school teacher. He decided to begin the project in the 1970s, he said, when he discovered that no history of the camp existed in book form.

Miller recounted the experience of Murray Cohen, a Brooklyn high school student who rode the ``Camp Siegfried Special'' to Yaphank in 1937. Photographs Cohen secretly took at the camp were later published by PM, New York's liberal afternoon daily in the 1940s. On the train, Cohen chatted with Mueller while, in the background, uniformed bundists sang Nazi anthems. One of the stanzas from the ``Horst Wessel Song'' includes the chilling lines:

When Jewish blood drips from the knife

Then will the German people prosper.

Henry Hauck, a Yaphank volunteer firefighter, ran the inn and restaurant at the camp. Around the inn flowers were planted in the shape of a giant swastika while a large photo of Hitler decorated a wall of the restaurant. There were free dances on Friday nights and Linden beer sold for 10 cents a glass. But every weekend, bundists were asked to contribute money to the Nazi cause. At least $123,000 in German bonds were sold at the camp, Miller reported.

Another $3,000 was raised to support the German Winter Relief Fund. About 70 contributors signed a ``Golden Book'' that Karl Weiler, a camp official, later presented to Hitler at the 1936 Olympics in Germany. Hitler reportedly urged Siegfrieders to keep up the kampf -- the struggle -- in the United States. While weapons were not on display, on one weekend, a group of bundists posed happily beside a fake cannon, figuratively ``aimed'' at Rep. Samuel Dickstein, a Democrat from Manhattan who headed a committee investigating the bund.

At the camp, Fritz Kuhn, a U.S. citizen who headed the bund, predicted that someday he would be ``America's Fuhrer,'' Miller wrote. Activities included more than sports and sunbathing. There were recorded operas by Richard Wagner, Hitler's favorite composer, and anti-Semitic lectures by Walter Kappe, the camp's propaganda chief. Kappe argued that Jews were the founders of international communism. The Friends of the New Germany in America would become ``what the Storm Troopers were in Germany,'' he promised.

By 1937, up to 40,000 bundists would arrive on Sundays to celebrate Nazism in America, while young Siegfrieders lined up to greet them as the train pulled into Yaphank. A large contingent of Nazis also marched through the village of Lindenhurst that year. Some threats of violence came from members of American Legion posts, who threatened to break up the camp but were dissuaded by Suffolk District Attorney Robert Vunk.

Soon after, Miller wrote, Kappe was ordered to return to Germany to work on plans to land spies on the coast of Long Island. In the early days of the war, four would-be saboteurs were captured after landing near Amagansett -- three turned out to be former Siegfrieders.

Two years later, the pastoral scene at Camp Siegfried began to fade. That summer, Mueller and five others were indicted in Riverhead on charges that the German-American Settlement League and Camp Siegfried were part of the bund, which required members to swear an oath of allegiance to Hitler. The state contended, therefore, that the German-American Settlement League had violated state law by failing to file its list of members, who had sworn loyalty to a foreign power.

Years later, Mueller told Newsday that the bund had ``stolen'' the camp from the German-American Settlement League, requiring its members to join the Nazi organization. Mueller, who died in 1966, is buried in Yaphank. In his book, Marvin Miller suggests the camp was probably a Nazi agency from the start, using the names of Nazi leaders for map designations, such as Himmler Street and Hitler Street.

Mueller and the others went on trial in Riverhead, where a witness named Willie Brandt testified that he had sworn his ``loyalty and obedience'' to Hitler. Then, a 45-year-old shipping clerk named Martin Wunderlich took the stand and demonstrated the stiff-armed Nazi salute used at the camp.

``That is an American salute?'' asked Assistant District Attorney Lindsey Henry.

``It will be,'' Wunderlich said, in a warning that sent chills through the jurors, who returned a guilty verdict. The outcome was a victory for the prosecution, headed by Henry, who was the father of future Suffolk District Attorney Patrick Henry. The decision, however, was later set aside and never taken to the State Court of Appeals. But by then, the issue was moot. In the summer of 1939, the camp had lost its liquor license and many of its followers -- and when the Nazis invaded Poland in September, the woodland campground was deserted and out of business.

In Camp Siegfried's heyday, bundists paraded with their swastika banners, and Kuhn spoke of the camp as part of ``Germany in America.''

But in the end, Kuhn was disgraced as a thief. Just before the war, he was convicted of grand larceny for pocketing money earmarked for the Riverhead trial. Stripped of his citizenship, he spent the war in a detention camp with about 40 Siegfrieders.

Then, in 1945, he was deported to West Germany and sentenced to 10 years in prison for his prewar Nazi activites. Kuhn died in 1951 in Munich. ``Who would have known it would end like this?'' he said to one of his jailers just before he died.

An Open letter sent from a Babylonist to Robert Mueller, FBI

More Chaos?

An Open Letter and Question for FBI Director, Robert Mueller, from Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz, Prepared for Broadcast on "Inside Out," Hosted by Michael Levine on KRLA radio in Los Angeles December 17, 2001.

Dear FBI Director Robert Mueller,

I don't know whether you have seen Sunday's Washington Post (Dec. 16, 2001) article by authors Rick Weiss and Susan Schmidt entitled "Capitol Hill Anthrax Matches Army's Stocks: 5 Labs Can Trace Spores to Ft. Detrick," in which a short list of your chief suspects is provided? I am pleased to read these revelations, and wish to further facilitate your investigation toward a successful conclusion. As a Harvard-trained public health authority and independent investigator published in the field of using the FBI's motivational model for investigating serial homicides involving infectious agents, I want you to know that on Monday December 10, I released a 20-page detailed report to the press, to members of Congress, and to your bureau chiefs, which has largely propelled these recent mainstream media identifications of the Battelle Memorial Institute (BMI) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) as your principle suspects in the anthrax mailings mystery. (Download report at: http://www.tetrahedron.org/articles/anthrax/anthrax_espionage.html)

Given this opportunity on Los Angeles radio, I would like to have you respond to the following facts, and question, "Why should the people of the United States trust you and the FBI to fulfill your expressed mission to solve this case when:

1) On October 1, 2001, approximately two weeks prior to the first publicized anthrax mailing, I personally delivered information to the FBI that should have prompted an immediate investigation of affiliated military-industrial and pharmaceutical contractors that maintain intimate ties to BMI and the CIA-information and an investigation that might have prevented the mailings sent more than a week later from Trenton, NJ. In fact, as evidenced by Sunday's report in the Washington Post, this information still appears to be actively suppressed, namely, the most obvious motives behind the mailed anthrax was to fan fears, dramatically expand pharmaceutical industry profits, and meet military-industrialists' and political objectives grossly jeopardizing American freedoms and civil rights.

2) Here are the incriminating facts Mr. Mueller: The Battelle Memorial Institute administers and supplies the Dugway anthrax proving facility in Utah where the only virtually identical Ames strain of silica-impregnated hyper-weaponized anthrax was found. According to Sunday's Washington Post, "Dugway is the only facility known in recent years to have processed anthrax spores into the powdery form that is most easily inhaled. Dugway's military supply is allegedly well protected by "multiple security measures," (according to Scott Shane reporting in the Baltimore Sun, Dec. 12, 2001). BMI's security is apparently not as strict.

3) The Battelle Memorial Institute, (according to William Broad and Judith Miller in the New York Times, Thursday, Dec. 13) provides services as "a military contractor in [West Jefferson] Ohio," and "has experience making powdered germs. . . . [T]he contractor participated in a secret Central Intelligence Agency program, code-named Clear Vision [that] began in 1997, that used [allegedly] benign substances similar to anthrax.

4) BMI directs the Defense Department's "Joint Vaccine Acquisition Program" worth more than $1 billion in vaccine contracts; an acquisition program in which Battelle, as a CIA contractor, partnered with Bioport for America's sole anthrax vaccine production. Bioport-largely owned by Britain's top secret biowarfare consortium Porton Down, bin Laden family associate Faud El Hibri, Admiral William J. Crowe, Jr., a former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and others (including, according to some investigators, the multinational investment firm and defense contractor, the Carlyle Management Group, that managed bin Laden family millions prior to 9-11, directed by past CIA director Frank Carlucci, James Baker, III, and Past President George H.W. Bush); a vaccine maker that has negotiated a steady stream of controversy and illegalities since 1996, the year before the CIA contracted with Battelle to conduct a special study of aerosolized hyper-weaponized anthrax.

5) Based on a September 7, 2001 Associated Press report, a "new strain" of extremely lethal anthrax had been under development before September 2001, by a U.S. biological weapons contractor, apparently Battelle Memorial Instititue in West Jefferson, Ohio, as this fit the intelligence published by the New York Times (wherein America's top anthrax expert, William C. Patrick III, "said the American program had achieved [an unprecedented] concentration of one trillion spores per gram." According to the Associated Press, a Russian munitions expert, Alexander Gorbovsky, voiced his government's concerns regarding the increased threat posed by this obviously active U.S. biological weapons program-a program that an anonymous Pentagon official referred to as "Project Jefferson," implicating Battelle's West Jefferson labs once again.

6) "Project Jefferson" was ongoing around the same time American anthrax ace William C. Patrick III, was apparently contracted by Battelle Memorial Institute to develop a report on the ramifications of mailing powdered anthrax, much the same as what occurred in the wake of the October anthrax mailings.

7) According to a 1998 New Yorker article written by admitted CIA consultant and exposed CIA propagandist Richard Preston, William C. Patrick III and Russian defector Kanatjan Alibekov (alias, "Ken Alibek")-the world's two leading anthrax experts-were very "close friends!" Both men held classified consulting contracts with the CIA and Battelle, Alibekov was on the CIA's payroll at that time, according to Preston, and he was fully employed by the Battelle Memorial Institute (BMI).

8) BMI, according to its website (http://www.battelle.org/nationsecurity/), is a virtual one-stop-shopping-center for U.S. and foreign militaries, the Department of Energy, the national security industries, affiliated agencies, organizations, and institutions evaluating every major aspect of modern methods of population and environmental control and warfare. With nearly $1 billion of business volume annually, Battelle's 7,500 scientists, engineers, and support specialists, have designed and developed a wide variety of innovations from the uranium used in the top secret "Manhattan Project" of WWII to the Xerox copying process. In addition to their voluminous research, development, and testing activities, this private institute co-manages America's most secret enterprises including the DoE's Brookhaven National Laboratory, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Oak Ridge Laboratory, and fully manages several others including the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and Dugway's "Life Sciences" facility which is intimately tied to their two biological level-3 "Aerosol Engineering & Biological Sciences Facilities" in West Jefferson, Ohio. (These appear in photographs on a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) promotions slide at http://www.nrel.gov/surviving disaster/fema2000/Cbiac/sld016.htm.)

9) Battelle's "Aerosol Engineering and Biological Defense Science" description relays that their "Aerosol Science and Technology (AS&T) group develops lab experimental and field test procedures for . . . point-source emissions and the transport and atmospheric fate of aerosols by means of modeling and field assessments for industrial process." Thus, the government "contractor" for whom anthrax expert William C. Patrick III wrote his mailed anthrax aerosol dispersal assessment could have only been Battelle for whom "Ken Alibek" worked; Robert Myers, Bioport's Chief Operating Officer affiliated; and Jerry Hauer in New York's emergency management helped facilitate tests. All of these suspects (except Alibek), played roles in the Department of Defense's Joint Vaccine Acquisition Program that was accelerated for millions of dollars in biowarfare profiteering due to the anthrax mailings and national fright they caused.

In summary, there are several serious indicators that the source of the anthrax weapon used in the mailings was the Ames, Iowa strain of silica-impregnated and electro-statically charged anthrax produced by the Battelle Memorial Institute under their classified Defense Department "Project Jefferson" and/or CIA project "Clear Vision." This hyper-weaponized germ was likely produced with the help (or under the direction) of Dr. Alibekov and/or Dr. Patrick. The fact that these Battelle agents and CIA-affiliated agencies gained notoriety, if not financially, as a result of the anthrax mailings and fright fits the parameters of organized conspiracy to commit military-industrial sabotage and serial homicide approaching economic genocide.

FBI Director Mueller, this is my third communication to you since early October. "We the People" of the U.S. want to know whether we can depend on you and your bureau officials to pay more than lip service to this critical investigation. We want to know whether your hands have been tied, or will be tied by U.S. National Security officials on behalf of implicated parties in the CIA and Bush administration-parties who have developed lucrative vaccine and drug contracts behind closed doors, illegally according to existing transparency laws, through vaccine representatives and profiteers in the organization known as PhRMA that directs, along with Bush administration officials, the Emergency Preparedness Task Force.

"We the People" are tired of false assurances that "no stone is being left unturned" in the anthrax mailings investigation. Do you really have the courage and clout to pursue this investigation to where it obviously leads-to Battelle, Bioport, the CIA and even the White House? Or will you and your bureau leaders continue to sacrifice your integrity along with the lives, health, safety, and civil liberties of the American people to support this ongoing commercial cover-up and military-industrial conspiracy?

Sincerely yours,

FBI Implicated in Anthrax Mailings Cover-up: Mueller Reports No Intention to Investigate Chief Suspect

Sandpoint, ID —FBI officials may be implicated in a conspiracy to impede justice in the anthrax mailings case, if not treasonous dereliction of duty, according to a growing number of scientists and consumer advocates. After officials cited the likeliest origin of the powdered anthrax was the U.S. Army’s Dugway Proving Grounds in Utah, or its Ohio-based supplier and CIA-contractor, Battelle Memorial Instititue (BMI), FBI Director Robert Mueller announced the bureau has no intention of investigating anyone with, or formerly with, their chief suspect—BMI.

Just weeks ago, major progress in the FBI’s investigation seemed forthcoming. The New York Times and Washington Post revealed that BMI, Dugway’s anthrax facility supplier and chief administrator had contracted with the CIA (in project “Clear Vision”) to produce, albeit illegally, the 1 trillion spore-per-gram strain of anthrax under investigation. BMI, while heading the U.S. military’s “Joint Vaccine Acquisitions Program” worth more than $1 billion in vaccine contracts, commissioned America’s top anthrax expert, William C. Patrick, III, to deliver a report on the powdered anthrax’s prospects for being spread through the mail.

Thus, by mid-December, the public, including health scientists urged to help federal officials identify suspects, realized that someone with high level security clearance, a “black-op budget,” access to the BMI/Dugway anthrax labs, and vaccine sales incentive, most likely took BMI’s powdered anthrax, and prepared it for mailing from Trenton, NJ; St. Petersburg, FL; Atlanta, GA; and Malaysia.

For the first time since the 1975 Frank Church congressional investigation of the CIA for illegally stockpiling anthrax and other biological weapons, the public learned that the CIA had been violating the international Geneva Accord moratorium on biological weapons development—a revelation somewhat embarrassing to American diplomats engaged in the global “War on Terrorism.”

The day before Christmas, an Op Ed piece in the Wall Street Journal additionally implicated BMI, and potentially the FBI, along with rogue elements within the CIA, in an international conspiracy to commit and cover-up the anthrax mailings crime. BMI and Bioport, a Michigan-based offshoot of Britain’s leading biological weapons organization at Porton Down, were previously reported to be collaborating on the manufacture and supply of America’s only anthrax vaccine. Dr. Robert C. Myers, Chief Operating Officer of BioPort, told a Senate Appropriations Committee in 1996 that he “was part of a team of organizations, led by Battelle Memorial Institute . . . ” The Journal writer Edward Jay Epstein cited the testimony of U.S. Army bioweapons official David Franz concerning America’s reliance on British intelligence provided by Porton Down officials regarding the development and use of the powdered Ames strain of anthrax. Thus, the FBI’s disregard of foreign suspects, especially Porton Down, with direct links to Bioport and BMI’s anthrax vaccine, vaccine contracts, and BMI’s and Dugway’s anthrax experiments, was criticized by Epstein as it was days earlier in the Washington Post.

More evidence of the FBI’s intentional ineptitude came from the Columbus Dispatch. Though the Washington Post reported that the FBI was allegedly pursuing the possibility that financial gain was the motive behind the anthrax mailings, and that “two laboratories” were especially implicated, that is, BMI and Dugway, a contradictory announcement was relayed the same day (Dec. 21, 2001) by Ohio Senator Mike DeWine. Based on an ABC News report concerning a BMI employee who had been under FBI investigation for an anthrax threat, FBI Director Robert Mueller had, according to The Dispatch, assured Senator DeWine that the bureau was not investigating, nor intending to investigate, anyone with, or formerly with, BMI.

Currently then, the FBI has no intention of investigating its chief suspect, despite the grave likelihood that the remaining mystery will continue to exact massive economic and socio-political tolls.

These proceedings have bewildered and even outraged many scientists and public health professionals from whom the FBI requested assistance.

“If Senator DeWine’s statements accurately reflect director Mueller’s intention to disregard all of the most damning evidence concerning Battelle and allied vaccine makers,” said Dr. Leonard Horowitz, “then the American people should demand a new FBI director, and Congress should demand the General Accounting Office investigate the bureau’s misconduct.”

Dr. Horowitz, among a handful of infectious disease authorities who openly criticized the CIA’s illegal biological weapons program involving anthrax in his national bestselling book, Emerging Viruses: AIDS & Ebola—Nature, Accident or Intentional?, was the first to develop the theory that BMI and the CIA may be acting on behalf of British profiteers in what he says amounts to “military-industrial sabotage approaching American economic genocide.” His lengthy report on the case, initially submitted to the FBI, is available from his publisher’s website at http://www.tetrahedron.org/articles/anthrax/anthrax_espionage.html.

In defending the FBI’s position, the Washington Post reported that the bureau only learned of a BMI-administered CIA “defensive” biowarfare contract involving the Ames-strain of anthrax in recent weeks. “The CIA program was [allegedly] designed to develop defenses to a vaccine-resistant strain of anthrax reportedly created by the former Soviet Union,” officials defended. CIA spokespersons expressed certainty that “the anthrax used in the mailings did not come from their work.”

Taking the agency on its word, the powdered anthrax may not have “come from their work,” but their contractor’s work, that is, BMI.

Critics claim this CIA defense is deceptive for at least two other reasons: 1) the Soviet Union’s most potent anthrax was only half as concentrated as this new CIA/Battelle creation; and 2) it is an American/British—Ames, Iowa—strain prototype, not a Soviet creation, and not resembling anything available to Iraq or other countries favored by terrorists. This spoils the excuse the powdered anthrax was produced for any form of “defense,” including vaccines.

“Vaccines are developed to help guard against pre-existing threats,” said Ingri Cassel, director of the national Vaccination Liberation association—a consumer education and advocacy group. “This anthrax powder was illegally prepared, apparently for offensive military uses, sabotage, and even terrorism. You simply don’t develop a new hyper-weaponized strain of anthrax powder for military defense, which implies preventive vaccinations against old Soviet threats, and then commission the top U.S. anthrax expert [William C. Patrick, III] to report on this new weapon’s capability and lethality from mailed delivery, unless that’s how you foresee it being used,” Ms. Cassel reasoned.

Many people are pondering the suspicious “Machiavellian-like” targeting of the mass media and congressional Democrats (liberals) befitting the phrase “the ends justifies the means.” Multi-million dollar vaccine contracts, fast-tracked drug approvals, and frenzied consumer and legislative demand for costly, risky, and largely ineffective vaccines, antibiotics, and other high-priced preventives are the most obvious results of the anthrax mailings.

Referring to the unprecedented silica-based, electro-statically charged, dry powdered form of hyper-concentrated anthrax sent through the mail to members of the media and Senators Daschle and Leahy, Dr. Horowitz concluded, “It was the only form of anthrax that could be effectively spread, as it was, through the U.S. mail with such far reaching effects. Therefore, the primary suspects have been identified, their dubious histories are well known, and their motives are clear. Any further effort to impede this investigation places FBI director Mueller in the position of an ‘enemy national,’ or a traitor to the American people he is sworn to protect.”

FBI'S

Project Megiddo

I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The year 2000 is being discussed and debated at all levels of society. Most of the discussions regarding this issue revolve around the topic of technology and our society's overwhelming dependence on the multitude of computers and computer chips which make our world run smoothly. However, the upcoming millennium also holds important implications beyond the issue of computer technology. Many extremist individuals and groups place some significance on the next millennium, and as such it will present challenges to law enforcement at many levels. The significance is based primarily upon either religious beliefs relating to the Apocalypse or political beliefs relating to the New World Order (NWO) conspiracy theory. The challenge is how well law enforcement will prepare and respond.

The following report, entitled "Project Megiddo," is intended to analyze the potential for extremist criminal activity in the United States by individuals or domestic extremist groups who profess an apocalyptic view of the millennium or attach special significance to the year 2000. The purpose behind this assessment is to provide law enforcement agencies with a clear picture of potential extremism motivated by the next millennium. The report does not contain information on domestic terrorist groups whose actions are not influenced by the year 2000.

There are numerous difficulties involved in providing a thorough analysis of domestic security threats catalyzed by the new millennium. Quite simply, the very nature of the current domestic terrorism threat places severe limitations on effective intelligence gathering and evaluation. Ideological and philosophical belief systems which attach importance, and possibly violence, to the millennium have been well-articulated. From a law enforcement perspective, the problem therefore is not a lack of understanding of motivating ideologies: The fundamental problem is that the traditional focal point for counterterrorism analysis -- the terrorist group -- is not always well-defined or relevant in the current environment.

The general trend in domestic extremism is the terrorist’s disavowal of traditional, hierarchical, and structured terrorist organizations. Even well-established militias, which tend to organize along military lines with central control, are characterized by factionalism and disunity.

While several “professional” terrorist groups still exist and present a continued threat to domestic security, the overwhelming majority of extremist groups in the United States have adopted a fragmented, leaderless structure where individuals or small groups act with autonomy. Clearly, the worst act of domestic terrorism in United States history was perpetrated by merely two individuals: Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. In many cases, extremists of this sort are extremely difficult to identify until after an incident has occurred. Thus, analysis of domestic extremism in which the group serves as the focal point of evaluation has obvious limitations.

The Project Megiddo intelligence initiative has identified very few indications of specific threats to domestic security. Given the present nature of domestic extremism, this is to be expected. However, this is a function of the limitations of the group-oriented model of counterterrorism analysis and should not be taken necessarily as reflective of a minor or trivial domestic threat. Without question, this initiative has revealed indicators of potential violent activity on the part of extremists in this country. Militias, adherents of racist belief systems such as Christian Identity and Odinism, and other radical domestic extremists are clearly focusing on the millennium as a time of action. Certain individuals from these various perspectives are acquiring weapons, storing food and clothing, raising funds through fraudulent means, procuring safe houses, preparing compounds, surveying potential targets, and recruiting new converts. These and other indicators are not taking place in a vacuum, nor are they random or arbitrary. In the final analysis, while making specific predictions is extremely difficult, acts of violence in commemoration of the millennium are just as likely to occur as not. In the absence of intelligence that the more established and organized terrorist groups are planning millennial violence as an organizational strategy, violence is most likely to be perpetrated by radical fringe members of established groups. For example, while Aryan Nations leader Richard Butler publicly frowns on proactive violence, adherents of his religion or individual members of his organization may commit acts of violence autonomously.

Potential cult-related violence presents additional challenges to law enforcement. The potential for violence on behalf of members of biblically-driven cults is determined almost exclusively by the whims of the cult leader. Therefore, effective intelligence and analysis of such cults requires an extensive understanding of the cult leader. Cult members generally act to serve and please the cult leader rather than accomplish an ideological objective. Almost universally, cult leaders are viewed as messianic in the eyes of their followers. Also, the cult leader’s prophecies, preachings, orders, and objectives are subject to indiscriminate change. Thus, while analysis of publicly stated goals and objectives of cults may provide hints about their behavior and intentions, it is just as likely to be uninformed or, at worst, misleading. Much more valuable is a thorough examination of the cult leader, his position of power over his followers, and an awareness of the responding behavior and activity of the cult. Sudden changes in activity - for example, less time spent on “Bible study” and more time spent on “physical training” - indicate that the cult may be preparing for some type of action.

The millennium holds special significance for many, and as this pivotal point in time approaches, the impetus for the initiation of violence becomes more acute. Several religiously motivated groups envision a quick, fiery ending in an apocalyptic battle. Others may initiate a sustained campaign of terrorism in the United States to prevent the NWO. Armed with the urgency of the millennium as a motivating factor, new clandestine groups may conceivably form to engage in violence toward the U.S. Government or its citizens.

Most importantly, this analysis clearly shows that perceptions matter. The perceptions of the leaders and followers of extremist organizations will contribute much toward the ultimate course of action they choose. For example, in-depth analysis of Y2K compliancy on the part of various key sectors that rely on computers has determined that, despite a generally positive outlook for overall compliance, there will be problem industries and minor difficulties and inconveniences. If they occur, these inconveniences are likely to cause varying responses by the extreme fringes. Members of various militia groups, for example, have identified potentially massive power failures as an indication of a United Nations-directed NWO takeover. While experts have indicated that only minor brownouts will occur, various militias are likely to perceive such minor brownouts as indicative of a larger conspiracy.

The Senate Special Committee on the Year 2000 Technology Problem has stated that some state and local governments could be unprepared, including the inability to provide benefits payments. This could have a significant impact in major urban areas, resulting in the possibility for civil unrest. Violent white supremacists are likely to view such unrest as an affirmation of a racist, hate-filled world view. Likewise, militia members who predict the implementation of martial law in response to a Y2K computer failure would become all the more fearful.
