This is a brief introduction to the shamanic world of Siberia, especially from the perspective of the Mongols. In spite of the linguistic differences there are overarching themes and images which appear among all forms of shamanism in Siberia. Indeed, the classic studies of shamanism have given special attention to the shamanism of Altaic peoples such as the Buryat, Mongols, and Tungus, creating an image of a "classic" Siberian shamanism. Some of you may find that certain of the features ...
Mistaken Foreign Myths about Shambhala Many foreign myths have grown around the legend of Shambhala found in the Kalachakra literature. Some were spread to win military or political support, such as the identification of Russia, Mongolia, or Japan as Shambhala. Others appeared within occult movements and mixed Buddhist ideas with concepts from other systems of belief. Several even spawned expeditions to find the fabled land. Two camps arose among the occult versions. One side regarde...
Originally written January 2002 Like unconscious ants swarming around a sand hill with abundant food, we pack ourselves into theaters screening movies that best express and resonate with archetypal themes that flavor and suffuse a particular zeitgeist. Our current time is exemplary of this action. Lord of the Rings , with its heroic quest; its epic and intensely dramatic battle between light and dark; its exploration of the right use of and attraction to power; and the compelling seriousne...
Hollywood has produced many blockbusters, but few as exciting yet also thought-provoking as The Matrix, starring Keanu Reeves. I have noticed some rather interesting parallels between its major concepts and how Muslims perceive life and reality, based on their scriptures. I find that people often find it difficult to grasp such matters when explained in everyday terms, let alone religious terms, but how about Hollywood terms? The ideas of the movie were believable enough for countless custom...
The Zionist Connection: an Unholy Tripartite Ted Lang / May 24, 2004 Henry Makow , a PhD. who writes for several Internet news and opinion websites, has provided invaluable insight focusing on political alliances that control the United States as well as the entire world. An unholy tripartite threatens the individual freedom of all people, as well as the peace of the entire world, desiring the establishment of a New World Order controlled by one global government. It consists of these t...
SARTRE - January 22, 2003 At the core of self delusion is the inability and/or the unwillingness of facing reality. While psychological disorders can often explain abnormal behavior in individuals, the exegesis for deviant social attitudes and accompanying conduct is reserved for society. Or so we are told! But does this make sense to you? As long as you accept that reality does exist and that it can be understood, it follows that we have the right, the ability and the obligation to compreh...
The End of Islamist Zionism Is At Hand Maria Hussain, 5/8/04 At the recent Anti-Semitism Conference in Berlin, Yehuda Bauer, an Israeli official raised the spectre of a "totalitarian, radical Islamist ideology" based on the widespread Zionist belief that Muslim fundamentalists are ready for a second genocide of the Jewish people. It is rather ironic that the Israelis are appealing to the Germans for help, the very nation that got them into this mess. Transfer of funds from Nazi Germany ...
The Matrix Reloaded: Revelation of the Method Alex Jones May 23 2003 The first "Matrix" was obviously new age in its overall presentation: that you've got to believe in yourself and then you can change the parameters of reality from within. And it had the overall message that there is another reality, that we are in a false reality. It covered and explained denial, how some people want to remain inside the lie and don't want to know the truth, don't want to remember the truth, want to be...
The wonderfully bizarre and philosophically fertile novel Insatiability, written in 1927 by Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz, describes a society in rancid decay faced with the external threat of a “Sino-Mongolian” army with some very distinct Soviet and Nazi characteristics. The armies of conformity are on the border waiting to attack. Meanwhile in Witkiewicz’s society, religion, philosophy, politics, art, literature and sex have become devoid of transcendent qualities. They serve only to fur...
September 12, 2001 Dear Friend, Most of us are now processing shock and dismay over the September 11, 2001 "Attack on America." In the business of collecting and disseminating intelligence regarding various forms of terrorism, we have been predicting such horrific realities for months, even years. To have these prophesies manifest, leaves remorse beyond description. My colleagues and I are additionally pained by our collective inability to stop the generally unrecognized forces of evil ...
Therapy 1. Open a new file in your PC; 2. Name it "George W. Bush"; 3. Send it to the trash; 4. Empty the trash; 5. Your PC will ask you: "Do you really want to get rid of George W.Bush?" 6. Answer calmly "Yes" and press the mouse button firmly. BUSH AND HITLER: Is History Repeating Itself? "Your enemy is not surrounding your country. Your enemy is ruling your country." -- George W. Bush No one expected Hitler to rise to power. He had failed at just about everything he had...
Report by Sergey Ptichkin and Aleksey Chichkin CDI Russia Weekly #190 January 25, 2002 It seems that Moscow has decided to delay its departure from the Cuban signals intelligence station at Lourdes. In any event, the West European and Latin American media are literally overflowing with reports on the subject. Furthermore, in their opinion the main reason for this decision is a decision of the Pentagon and NATO to set up base almost indefinitely in Central Asia including Kazakhstan. O...

My fellow countrymen: At the opening of the Social Workers Training School in Santiago de Cuba on October 24, I said that in the coming days I would speak about the international economic situation and how it could affect our country, which was carrying out an unprecedented social development program as it gradually recovered from the special period. I do not want to put that discussion off any longer. To characterize the current situation, one could say, by way of a very brief summary,...
By Gerald S. Rellick George W. Bush’s dreadful performance at last month’s press conference should have put to rest any doubts of his lack of fitness to be president. Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen summed it up this way: “Bush was so inarticulate in his recent news conference that you could say he violated the standards of his own ‘No Child Left Behind’ policy.” William Kristol, editor of the conservative Weekly Standard and a Bush supporter, also voiced dismay. Kristol said he w...
