Chiar dacă nu există în dicţionare, mineriada a devenit termenul generic care desemnează raidurile şi violenţele exercitate de către grupuri organizate de mineri împotriva concetăţenilor, în România postdecembristă.

În conştiinţa oamenilor, mineriada este similară cu actele de teroare. Hoardele de mineri constituite în grupări de tip paramilitar înarmate cu bâte, târnăcoape, lopeţi, lanţuri, sfredele, cuţite au acţionat repetat, începând cu primele luni ale anului 1990, împotriva populaţiei civile, susţinute fiind de diverse grupări politice şi exponenţi ai puterii.

În perioada postdecembrista, au existat 6 mineriade în anii 1990, 1991 şi 1999. În anul 1990, au existat trei astfel de acţiuni ale minerilor care au venit să sprijine contestatul regimul condus de Ion Iliescu. Cea mai cunoscută rămâne intervenţia violentă a minerilor chemaţi de autorităţi, în zilele de 14 şi 15 iunie 1990, pentru împrăştierea manifestanţilor paşnici din Piaţa Universităţii.

Perioada care a urmat zilei de 25 decembrie 1989 (executarea lui Nicolae şi Elena Ceauşescu, la Târgovişte) şi până la declanşarea manifestaţiei-maraton din Piaţa Universităţii, din ziua de 22 aprilie 1990, a fost una plină de evenimente şi de frământări sociale. Aproape că nu a existat zi în care să nu existe adunări publice, mitinguri, marşuri sau proteste individuale.

Dacă în primele zile se solicita insistent adevărul despre evenimentele din primele zile ale revoluţiei şi ajutorarea familiilor celor ucişi şi răniţi, în scurt timp a urmat un şir lung de proteste la adresa noii conduceri a ţării (anunţate ca “provizorie”) şi al cărui exponent era Ion Iliescu, un fost demnitar comunist cu o activitate controversată.

O mână de oameni au blocat pe 22 aprilie 1990 Piaţa Universităţii, declanşând un fenomen considerat ca fiind cea mai amplă şi spectaculoasă mişcare socială din perioada de tranziţie postdecembristă a României.

Cea mai mare manifestaţie -maraton, anticomunistă, a început la data de 22 aprilie 1990 şi a încetat în acelaşi an, în ziua de 13 iunie ca urmare a intervenţiei violente a autorităţilor. În noaptea de 13-14 iunie, în Capitală, a a vut loc un veritabil război urban soldat cu morţi şi răniţi prin împuşcare. Au fost incendiate sediile Ministerului de Interne, Poliţiei Capitalei, Televiziunii Române şi SRI. Zeci de autovehicule au fost distruse. Din mulţime erau lansate sticle incendiare de către persoane rămase până în prezent neidentificate. Pe străzi au fost scose tancurile şi unităţile de intervenţie ale Ministerului Apărării şi Ministerului de Interne. Armata a ripostat cu muniţie de război iar din elicoptere se aruncau mii de fiole lacrimogene. Un fum gros acoperea centrul Capitalei.

Represiunea a continuat până în 15 iunie ’90, folosiţi fiind şi minerii din Valea Jiului care au răspuns apelului preşedintelui Ion Iliescu de a “curăţa Capitala de huligani”. În dimineaţa zilei de 14 iunie 1990, au ajuns în Bucureşti peste 10.000 de mineri, continuând să sosească alte şi alte garnituri. În total, s-au adus aproape 20.000 de mineri, ca o demonstraţie de forţă fără precedent adresată bucureştenilor ce trebuiau cuminţiţi. Ortacii au fost aduşi cu 11 garnituri de tren şi zeci de autobuze. Au fost reţinute 1030 persoane şi au fost emise 165 mandate de arestare. Cei reţinuti au fost duşi la două unităţi militare, la Măgurele şi Băneasa. Unii au fost eliberati dupa 2-9 zile, alţii după detenţii care au durat luni de zile. Au fost rănite 746 persoane şi oficial au fost înregistraţi 6 morţi, din care 4 prin împuşcare. Reprezentanţii unor asociaţii neguvernamentale susţin că numărul morţilor din acele zile depăşeşte 100.

Apelativul “golani” folosit de ex-preşedintele Iliescu, la adresa protestatrilor din centrul Capitalei a făcut ca demonstraţia maraton să mai fie supranumită şi “Golaniada”. Timp de 52 de zile, manifestanţii din Piaţa Universităţii au protestat paşnic, în zona proclamată “Liberă de neocomunism” şi “Centrul libertăţii şi democraţiei României.

ISTANBUL, October 2 (Compass Direct News) – Following the Appeal Court of Alexandria on Sept. 24 granting custody of 13-year-old Christian twins to their Muslim father, their mother lives with the fear that police will take away her children at any moment.

Kamilia Gaballah has fought with her ex-husband Medhat Ramses Labib over alimony support and custody of sons Andrew and Mario in 40 different cases since he left her and converted to Islam so that he could remarry in 1999.

The court ruled in favor of Labib in spite of Egyptian law’s Article 20, which grants custody of children to their mothers until the age of 15, and a fatwa (religious ruling) from Egypt’s most respected Islamic scholar, Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa, giving her custody.

“This decision was dangerous because it was not taken in accordance with Egyptian law but according to sharia [Islamic] law,” said Naguib Gobraiel, Gaballah’s lawyer and president of the Egyptian Union of Human Rights Organizations.

He explained that Egypt’s civic code calls for children under the age of 15 to stay with their mother regardless of their religion. Gobraiel said that sharia tends to favor the Muslim parent in such cases.

“They want to stay with their mother,” said Gobraiel. “They don’t know anything about Islam and sharia. They are Christians and go to church on Sundays.”

The twins have publicly stated their faith, and during a test in a mandatory religious class two years ago they scribbled only, “I am a Christian” on their answer sheets and otherwise turned them in blank. The twins intend to go on a hunger strike if they are forced to live with their Muslim father, whom they hardly know, sources said.

“We only want one thing,” said Gobraiel. “We want the law to be applied in our cases like this one, not the sharia, because the government owes us citizenship. This is a civilized, secular country, not a religious country.”

The decision of the presiding judge, El Sayed El Sherbini, to give the father full custody is not even based on sharia but is purely arbitrary, Gaballah and her eldest son George Medhat Ramses claimed, since the country’s State Mufti had granted custody to the mother in April 2006.

“We don’t want to give them to anyone or comply with the sentence,” Ramses told Compass. “All the legal ways have been wrong to us. We’ve been trying to make it as legal as we can, but the court has not been fair.”

Ramses, 21, who is also a Christian and lives with his mother and two little brothers, said the judged showed bias in favor of his father because he converted to Islam shortly after he left Gaballah.

“The decision was unfair and oppressive,” Gaballah told Compass. “I am treated differently than other Egyptians, as if this is not my own country.”

Gaballah, who has been fighting to keep her sons since the court decided in 2006 that custody of her sons should be given to her ex-husband, fears that her children will grow up without hope and a sense of justice.

“I am so sad and afraid about their psychology,” she said, “because they are facing something that is fundamentally against all the principles I have taught them.”

Gaballah said she is ready to keep fighting with the few means left in her power to keep her sons, even if it means tarnishing her with a criminal record by not handing them over to their father.

“And I’m determined to get justice in my own country, because it is my natural right and my sons’ right,” she said. “I cannot see how I can comply with the people who are taking my rights away from me and taking my children from me to give them to an unworthy father and another woman.”

Labib is now married to his third wife, with whom he has a 4-year-old son. He is a businessman working in exports and travels between Alexandria and Cairo.

Gobraiel said that he intends to send a clear message to Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarak and the international human rights community that judgments like this one are hypocritical on the part of a government that claims to be “civilized.”

“How can they think we live in a civilized and secular country when they are applying sharia law on us?” he asked. “We will send a message to human rights organizations in Egypt and around the world to help us. We are angry and we want to declare it!”

Problematic Birth Certificates

Even under their father’s custody, the twins have the legal right to live with whomever they choose in two years, when they turn 15. But Ramses said he doubts the court would let them return to their mother.

“The same law that states that they should stay with mother until the age of 15 is the one that says they can decide where to live after the age of 15,” he explained. “If the court didn’t apply the first part of the law, they won’t apply the second.”

At the age of 16, when Mario and Andrew apply for their identification cards, they will face yet another hurdle, said Ramses. In 2005, Labib went to the population register and changed the twins’ birth certificates from Christian to Muslim, to reflect his own religion.

Now Ramses fears that a Sept. 23 court ruling in the case of Bahia Nagy El-Sisi, sentencing her to prison for three years for “forgery of an official document,” could be what awaits him and his little brothers. Nagy El-Sisi’s father had converted to Islam briefly in 1962, when she was 3 years old, and her documents were never altered to reflect the change as she remained a Christian. She and her sister discovered that their father had temporarily converted to Islam when the sister, Shadia Nagy, tried to issue marriage papers for her son.

Shadia Nagy was sentenced to three years in prison in 2007, also for “forgery.”

“These women are us in the future,” said Ramses.

Over the past few years, as Christians have found out about the twin boys’ case, Ramses said many have called them to give support. Many also have pledged to go on a hunger strike with the boys if they are handed over to their father.

“Christians see them as Coptic heroes and martyrs who stood up in front of all and said they were Christians and held on to it,” said Ramses. “All of them say they see the greatness of their ancestors and Christian heroes of long ago in them … and they carry a lot of respect and love for what they have done.”

Report from Compass Direct News

Naturally this puts me in a dilemma. Whom do I take? Well fortunately for me, my uncle told me in front of Casey (the annoying Red Sox fan), so I was pretty much obligated to take him at that point. I'm just kidding, he was fun to watch the game with because I can quiz him to see if indeed he is an educated fan. With him being a Boston fan, my money is on that he is in fact "dumber than a rock."

Right after I watch my Rays beat the White Sox, I hop in the car with Paul Finelli, Miller Townsend and Sean Ford to go on a 12 hour road trip to Alabama. We are going to visit Paul's brother and see the Alabama vs. Kentucky football game on Saturday.

I am a little nervous for this trip. This group of guys bring out the best and worst of me. I have a feeling I am either getting arrested, beat up or damage my liver beyond repair.

I say this because Sean is one of those wild and crazy guys. He is my best chance of getting arrested because he will try and convince all of us that streaking through Alabama is a good decision because nobody knows us here and theres no way we can get caught. He is good at talking us into things when we aren't in the right state of mind.

Miller, well he is just Miller. He is going to fit right in with Alabama. I bet he brings his cowboy hat and boots and will make so many random friends that we will end up in some cornfield at 4 a.m. drinking moonshine.

Paul gives me the best chance at destroying my liver. He will get into his "lets buy everyone a drink" mood and feeds me shots at the bar. The worst part about this is that a dollar is expensive for a beer in Alabama, so he won't hurt his pocket too bad, but will hurt my liver.

We are meeting our friend Hillary "Hilla Killa" Young at Alabama on Friday. She was a right hand man to Paul and me freshman year before she transfered to Auburn. She will be the reason I get beat up at Alabama. Once she get a little liquid confidence in her she will begin to tell every person in Alabama that they are inbred and toothless. Then when they get mad at her, tell them that they can't yell at a girl and will sick her friends on them. Sometimes it sucks being her best friend.

Then there is me. I can be anyone of these people which scares the hell out of me. I can see myself running naked though the quad, meeting random hoosiers, destroying my liver, and telling someone from Alabama to go find his sister. All in all, it should be a great weekend, and the Minaret was nice enough to give me a camera to document it.

For many modern skeptics the world’s oldest writings, on clay, stone and papyrus, is simply myth. However, if we dismiss all of the ancient literature and inscriptions - the Bible, the Koran, the Mahabharata, and the thousands of clay tablets from Mesopotamia - as too incredible to believe, we would still have to deal with the question of the physical evidence. Who built the ancient megalithic structures?  How were they built?  Why the practice of building pyramids at ancient sites all over Earth for a period or time, and then suddenly abandon them?  Who marked the Earth’s surface with gigantic lines and figures?  Who created the astonishing artwork on Mars?  Why and how were these things done? In this space age, with it’s remarkable technological advances, it is becoming apparent that the "miracles", and other seemingly supernatural events reported in ancient texts, the megalithic constructions, and the enigmatic lines and artwork over the Earth, resulted from an advanced technology which was incomprehensible and indescribable by the ancient human observers. On these pages we take the position that there is a reasonable explanation, within natural law, for these mysteries.

In this  articles we will review the evidence that these mysteries are attributable to ancient astronauts; extraterrestrials who have visited Earth in prehistoric and historical times, and have interacted with humans or their evolutionary predecessors, i.e. what authors throughout history have referred to as "the gods". 
Most authors, with the exception of Zecharia Sitchin (1976), who write about ancient astronauts, take us to familiar sites around the world where we get a "how-could-they-have-done-that?" feeling, but do not get into details concerning the god’s technology, motivation, or their whereabouts. 
By contrast,here I attempt to touch on the following questions: 

• What was the nature of the gods? 
• How did they accomplish their seemingly miraculous feats? 
• What did they value? 
• What was their connection to humans? 
• Where did they come from and where did they go?

Who first came to Earth many milleniam years ago. They were beings whose biology was similar to modern humans. They created modern mankind by mixing their genetic makeup with that of sub-humans. The purpose of mankind was to serve the  principally by providing food and mining and construction labor. They did not allow humans to view them – only their symbols (idols), suggesting that their appearance was frightening; however humans were occasionally permitted to see their emissaries, e.g. "geniuses" and "angels". They also would not allow humans near them, except priests who had cleansed and covered themselves and spread a germicide, suggesting their susceptibility to earthly diseases. They apparently moved about the Earth in spacecraft using chemical fuel, and only landed on mountaintops or other rocky outcroppings; this reduced the dust and provided physical protection from humans, and disease control. The earliest sites had a cave under the rock that protected the priests during the coming and going of the spacecraft. Later they built, or provided humans with tools to build, cyclopean structures – huge earthen, baked brick, or stone ceremonial platforms and pyramids, which served as landmarks and as landing and feeding sites. Since they had little defense against earthly bacteria, they developed methods to nourish themselves with the vapors emanating from food and drink which humans provided and burned for them. The food and drink was provided through the custom of sacrifice, the burning of the meat and blood of animals, and sometimes humans, which they demanded. These ceremonial and feeding sites were located all over the world, most on or near the current equator or near earlier pole-shifted equators. They taught humans agriculture, astronomy, engineering, and provided the first laws. They then departed from the face of Mankind.

"The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number of hypothesis or axioms"

– Albert Einstein

The following twenty clues in support of the Gyandotcom theory :

1. The lines and figures which occur over the Earth, e.g. the Peruvian Nazca lines and "roads", the Bolivian "ceques", the radial lines emanating from ancient ceremonial sites, and the British "ley" lines, precisely straight lines which connect ancient sacred sites.
     
2. The ubiquitous pyramids of various styles scattered over the Earth, in Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, the Far East, and in North and South America. They apparently had several functions, serving as burial sites, landmarks, landing sites, bomb shelters, feeding stations, and ceremonial sites.
     
3. The megalithic constructions arrayed essentially all over the Earth; built of enormous stones weighing up to two million pounds. Why and how this was accomplished has not been adequately explained.
     
4. A unique and puzzling characteristic of the megalithic sites of both hemispheres is the complex polygonal stones which were used in their construction. Kiloton stones stacked, molded and sometimes fused together. Why and how?
     
5. The Polar Rounds, the concentration of ancient sites on or near the path of the current and shifted equators, suggesting that the ancient astronauts approached the Earth thru the solar plane , probably to use the planets for braking, and built very close to the equator. Chatelain (1988) says, "The polar rounds and the shift of the equator also explain why we have found traces of civilizations in regions of the Earth that today seem unfit for human habitation…". Remarkably many of the most mysterious sites lie on one of these ancient equators.
     
6. The many ancient writings about "gods" who could move through the air - the Enuma Elish, the Koran, the Popol Vuh, the Mahabharata, the Bible, and the voyages of the gods as depicted on cylinder seals and stellae from ancient Near Eastern civilizations.
     
7. The Heavenly Gateways - getting to and from the Earth. Before construction of the large pyramids and platforms the landing sites were simply a natural rock outcropping. A cave was excavated underneath which protected the priests during the coming and going of the Gods, or were some of them bomb shelters?, e.g.

• Israel: Es-Sakhra, the sacred rock on the Temple Mount, Jerusalem. There is a cave under the rock about 24 x 18 ft, and a hole in the ceiling about 2.5 ft in diameter which permitted access to the surface (Ritmeyer, 1996).
    
• Egypt: The Great Pyramid. The Great Pyramid was built on a huge bedrock bubble. About 115 ft under the surface, accessed via a 300 ft passageway, is an underground chamber measuring about 46 x 27 ft.
    
• Egypt: The Step Pyramid, with an elaborate multi-chambered cave underneath, allegedly built by Imhotep.
    
• Egypt: The pyramids of Mycerinus, Khafre, Unas, Teti and most other all had underground chambers. In fact the pyramids of Mycerinus and some others did not even have chambers in the pyramids - all chambers were underground!
    
• Mexico: Teotihuacan. There is a cave under the Sun Pyramid with several side chambers (Tompkins, 1976).
    
• Peru: The Torreon, Machu Picchu. A rock outcrop with a cave and altar underneath.
    
• Peru: K’enko. A huge, rock outcrop with an altar underneath. A hole above the altar allowed food to be passed to the surface (Fig 2-1).

1. There are many other constructions on the Earth which seem to have served
   as ancient navigation aids from the air, e.g. the Nazca lines next to the huge ceremonial site of Cahuachi, the Carnac stones and "Fairy Stone" in Brittany, the Sphinx at Giza, the Great Serpent Mound in Ohio, and the "Giant" and other huge drawings in the Chilean and Peruvian deserts.

• The spiral motif was a favorite design of the ancient astronauts, appearing at sites all over the world, e.g. Brittany; Cahuachi, Peru; Chaco Canyon; Nazca, Peru; Kawhia, New Zealand; Mu’a, Tonga; New Grange, Scotland; Tarxien, Malta.
    
• Consider this: In 1969 at New Grange, Britain, a Prof. O’Kelly proved that on the winter solstice, December 21, the morning sun would enter the passage and illuminate the spiral motif. Across the Atlantic, at Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, light falling on the spiral also was used to mark the equinoxes.
    
• One legend has it that when we are awakening but still lightly sleeping, we might "see" one or more spirals. When this happens we are able to hear or see through the ears and eyes of someone nearby or share their thoughts (please let me know if this works!) But to be serious the spiral motif, occurring at ancient megalithic sites all over Earth, obviously had some special significance; and we now know that our galaxy has the shape of a beautiful spiral. Is that it? Is the spiral motif the signature of those who built or provided the tools to build these enigmatic sites?

1. They constructed on Earth reflections of their celestial abode:

• Maurice Chatelain (1988) says that the pattern of the most famous cathedrals in 10 French cites "have the same configuration as the stars in the constellation of Virgo."
    
• Bauval and Gilbert (1994) demonstrate that the Giza pyramids exactly mirror the stars in Orion’s belt on 10,540 bc.
    
• Leviton and Coons (1987) believe that they have demonstrated the coincidence of a pattern of prehistoric sites in central Somerset with the constellation Canis Major.
    
• Zecharia Sitchin (1990) finds a pattern in the Coricancha in Cuzco which he feels closely resembles the constellation Cygnus.

1. Characteristics of site selection: Identification and access from the air, security and disease control.

• The important ancient sites seem to have been selected for easy identification and access from the air; on mountain peaks (Mt. Sinai, Machu Picchu, Mt. Olympus), on islands in lakes (Malta, Lake Titicaca), or on large artificial platforms (Baalbek, The Temple Mount).
    
• In addition various sites where the gods came and went were inaccessible by most of the people of that time, on the tops of mountains or pyramids. They would not allow humans near them, except priests who had cleansed and covered themselves and spread a germicide, suggesting their susceptibility to human diseases.
    
• Black and Green (1992) state that a sick person was considered to have sinned, that is, committed an offense against moral or divine law. The illness could be expelled or undone by a god whom the “patient” would appeal to through prayer. They write, “The use of the word 'patient' emphasizes the Babylonian view of sin as synonymous with disease. Sin could be transmitted by relatives or inherited from parents…Babylonians did not have a concept of original sin, but they believed that they were all very prone to sin.” (i.e. disease). This apparently is also the meaning of sin as used in the Old Testament.
    
• And Jehovah said to Moses, "Go to the people and sanctify them today and tomorrow. And let them wash their clothes." (Exo 19:10). 
  If you read the old testament substituting “disease” or “germs” for “sin” and “sterilize” for “sanctify” you will be surprised.
    
• And Jehovah said to Moses, "Go down, warn the people lest they break through to gaze at Jehovah, and many of them fall." (Exo 19:21).
    
• "And also the priests, those approaching Jehovah, let them sanctify (cleanse) themselves, that Jehovah not burst forth among them." (Exo 19:22).
    
• "And Jehovah said to him (Moses), ‘Come, go down. And you come up and Aaron with you. And let not the priests and the people break through to come up to Jehovah, lest He burst forth among them.’" (Exo 19:23).
    
• "And if you make an altar of stone for Me, you shall not build them of cut stones. When you swing your tool on it you defile it." (Exo 20:25).

1. Apparently some of the gods were frightful to look at, and took great care to not be seen by humans, except possibly by the highest priests.
     
2. The feeding of large numbers of the "sacrifice" of animals, and sometimes humans.
     
3. Genetic engineering. From various ancient texts we read of the creation of mankind and "virgins" giving birth to god-kings and prophets. As our own biotechnology evolves what were unfathomable mysteries for our forefathers are now beginning to make sense.
     
4. Astronomy and mathematics. The ancient civilizations, which arose in both hemispheres near the equator, possessed an extensive knowledge of astronomy and mathematics.
     
5. The sudden appearance of a technologically advanced human civilization. John Cohane (1977) writes, "Until one arrives at Cro-Magnon man, about 30,000 bc, it is impossible to hold up a single piece of fossil evidence and say with assurance: ‘This came from an ancestor of man’." He discusses other evidence and concludes, "…and this evidence indicating that only 10,000 years ago there was a sudden and unaccountable emergence of a full-blown intelligent civilization…".
     
6. The several references to the use of nuclear or other advanced weapons during the god’s struggles with each other.
     
7. They must overcome the restraints of time, and there are several hints of gravitational time dilation when comparing the lives of the ancient astronauts with that of humans.
     
8. All of the ancient ceremonial sites, in both hemispheres, have been abandoned. In the Americas the centers came to an abrupt and unexplained end, with the exception of the Aztec centers, before the arrival of the Spaniards. Tiahuanaco in Bolivia and the entire region were abandoned by 1050 ad. The AAs had all left the Earth.
     
9. Communication with the Gods. There is the suggestion that Yahweh could only communicate with the Israelites via the Ark of the Covenant: "And the Israelites inquired of the LORD, for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days, and Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, ministered before it in those days, saying..."

• The Israelites were instructed to blow a trumpet to signal Jehovah (probably also other ) to come to the sacrifice or to call God to an assembly of the tribe, or to signal for God’s assistance during battle (Numbers 10:2-10). This suggests that Yahweh could not receive the prayers of the Israelites; however other passages suggest that Yahweh could indeed receive the prayers of the Israelites if they were within earshot of the Ark. But he apparently could not reply to them via the Ark, only through the prophets within whom he had placed his ‘spirit’, e.g. when Hezekiah prayed the Lord’s answer came through Isaiah who said to Hezekiah, "So says Jehovah, the God of Israel. I have heard that which you have prayed to Me…" ( 2 Kings 19:20).
    
• Also when David prayed to God, the answer came to David through his "seer", Gad: "And Jehovah spoke to Gad, the seer of David, saying ‘Go; and you shall speak to David, saying…’" \
• Last and most important, the space colonization argument of the SETI community. The argument is that the use of nuclear propulsion at, say, 1/10th the speed of light could easily be accomplished, and that if only one advanced civilization existed in the galaxy it could colonize the galaxy in a mere 1-10 million years. They then conclude that “we don’t see them here; therefore they do not exist”. The following section examines this clue in greater depth.

1. Physicist Enrico Fermi once asked: "If there are extraterrestrials, where are they?"
   "If they existed," he said, "they would be here." It was a casual question over lunch, and I suspect that if he had thought further about it he might have further speculated, “or have they been here and have left?” We’ll never know, but his question, which became known as the “Fermi Paradox” or “Space Travel Argument”, raised a great deal of discussion in the SETI community.

   The paradox lead a few scientists - Freeman Dyson, Michael Hart, David Viewing and Frank Tipler among others - to speculate that any older technologically advanced civilization would have colonized the galaxy by now, and since they are not here, they don’t exist; therefore “SETI is a waist of time and money”.

   The “space colonization” proponents argue that the use of nuclear propulsion at, say, 1/10th the speed of light could easily be accomplished, and that if only one advanced civilization existed in the galaxy it could colonize the galaxy in a mere 1-10 million years. They then conclude that “we don’t see them here; therefore they do not exist”. The argument apparently assumed that the alien’s would physically occupy all the habitable planets rather than just develop them. I think this was where they got off track.

   Others have countered. Kuiper and Morris (1977) stated, “The search for extraterrestrial intelligence should begin by assuming that the galaxy has been colonized”. The paper was more wild speculation but the positions and titles of the authors, and a few equations, were apparently enough to get it into the journal Science.

   But there is another reason we should assume that it has already been "colonized". In a recent paper astronomer Dr Charles Lineweaver (2001), studying the tricky business of terrestrial planet formation, argues that "...this gives us an age distribution for life on such planets and a rare clue about how we compare with other life that might inhabit the Universe." From the age distribution he then concludes, "most of the life forms in the universe have had two billion years longer to evolve than we have." Apparently we're the new kid on the block.

   As used here "Colonization" is probably a misnomer, since in our case the ancient astronauts goal seemed to be the extension of their biology, knowledge, laws, and technology, by example or by physical manipulation of the biological blueprint of the most promising animal they found here; sort of a galactic migration of intelligence, survival traits and culture, rather then physical beings. It appears that when we attained a certain technological level they got out of the way.

   My thought here is that their argument is forceful but their conclusion is incorrect. It is in fact a powerful statement in support of the hypothesis - that the Earth, probably along with most habitable bodies in the galaxy, has indeed been colonized by ancient astronauts and, at least in part, we are them! Curiously, to my knowledge, none of the authors have appreciated the compelling logic of this argument and the strong corroboration it gives to the theory.

During most of the last century the scientific community has considered the possibility that the Earth’s axis (and the poles), or the Earth’s crust has shifted during the last 200,000 years or so, perhaps several times.In 1958 (updated 1970) Charles Hapgood presented his theory (along with 458 references!) that both the poles and the Earth’s crust have shifted several times in the last 120,000 years. He maintained that the last four rounds of the poles started 120,000 years ago when the North Pole installed itself in the territory of Yukon in Canada at 63 N and 135 W; then it went to the Greenland Sea at 72 N and 10 E about 84,000 years ago, moved from 54,000 until 48,000 years ago and settle in the middle of Hudson Bay at 60 N and 83 W; it rested there for 30,000 years, then wandered again from about 18,000 to about 12,000 years ago when it came to its present location. He uses evidence from geomagnetism, continental drift, the failure to explain the ice ages, the failure to explain climatic changes, the sudden melting of the ice sheets, the shaping of earth’s surface features, the evidence for violent and rapid extinctions.

 F. Barbierio (1999) addressed the pole shift hypothesis by arguing, using mind-numbing mathematics, that the Earth’s poles could be rapidly shifted due to the impact of objects from space as small as a half-kilometer diameter asteroid.

And so the argument continues in the scientific community.

Former NASA engineer Maurice Chatelain (1988) discussed some very interesting consequences of the polar rounds. During the Hudson Bay period (48,000 to 18,000 years ago) the equator was 30 degrees further south in South America, passing through central Chile and Argentina, resulting in a much warmer climate over Antarctica. The Antarctic peninsula and Little America were on only 40 and 60 degrees south respectively. Chatelain states, “At least half of Antarctica towards South America and the south Atlantic were free of ice for 100,000 years…”. (does this support the business about the Peri Reis map?)

He demonstrates that most of the important ancient megalithic sites lay on the equators during the last 100,000 years, and that it was because “It is preferable to land a spaceship near the equator than in a polar region, just as it was with our landings on the moon.” (the speed at the surface of the earth at the equator gives an added eastward push of about 500 meters/sec). He says, "The polar rounds and the shift of the equator also explain why we have found traces of civilizations in regions of the Earth that today seem unfit for human habitation…". He goes on to demonstrate that many of the ancient megalithic sites lie on of close to one of these prehistoric equators.

Reading this it occurred to me that the remarkable concentration of ancient sites on or near the path of the prehistoric equators suggested that the AAs approached the Earth through the solar plane, probably to use the planets for braking, lined up on the Earth's equator to land, and built their sites very close to the equator. Seemed reasonable - at the time.

In a superb up-to-date discussion of this observation Alison (2001), using a bit of reverse engineering, lists nine sites which would lie on the equator 120,000-84,000 years ago, another six which would lie on the equator 84,000-48,000 years ago, and nine sites which would lie on the equator 48,000-12,000 years ago (The site lists are from Alison but the estimates of the time periods are from Hapgood (1958)). Now if we assume that these sites were located during the current pole position (12,000 - present) the resulting pattern of the locations on the Earth is a precise harmonic wave, as Alison nicely demonstrates.

Alison lists sites which are within 70 miles of the equator of the time; however, when we consider that the poles wandered for about 5 thousand years before settling, I think we should allow a little slack here. Using Alison’s coordinates for the poles the following is Alison’s list with my additions of the sites which are within 5 degrees of the last four equators (* indicates those from Alison’s list). These are just a few of the better known locations; I suspect if one were to search a good archeological atlas along the equators many more would be found.

Here's what we have suggesting that the AAs lined up on the ancient equators to land:

1. There is an undeniable coincidence between many of the most important ancient sites and the prehistoric equators.
2. Oops - we have a problem: None of the equators pass close to the Mesoamerican sites (Teotihuacan, etc). Possible solution: archeologists think they were built much later.
3. Oops - we have a BIG problem: None of the equators pass anywhere near the important European sites (Stonehenge, Brittany, Bogazkoy, Malta, etc), and these are very old.

Then let's make another assumption - that they approached and landed along the solar plane (the Earth's axis of rotation is tilted 23.5 deg from the solar plane, the ecliptic). Within 5 degree of the equators here's what we have:

1. The pattern of the landings on the Earth would indeed be a harmonic wave.
2. England, Brittany, Yonagoni, Columbia Arch. Zone, Lhasa, Indus Valley, Mexico and Yucatan Peninsula, Ethiopia, Nazca, Delphi would now fall on an ancient equator.
3. Oops - we still have a BIG problem: Most of the sites in Alison's list above would not be anywhere near one of the equators.

So about all we can conclude is that -

1. Sometimes their landing/departure was parallel to the solar plane, as if they used the planets for breaking (landing) or accelerating (departure), and
2. Sometimes their landing/departure was parallel to the Earth's equatorial plane, as if they used the planets for breaking or accelerating, then lined up on the equator to realize the benefits of the Earth's rotation.

•  1: Geologist Robert Schock (1999) discusses the theory of Kirschvink and others that the "Cambrian explosion" was due to a 90 degree shift of the crust, not the interior of the Earth, which he calls "true polar wander".
• 2: Zecharia Sitchin (1993) concluded that about 11,000 bc (13,000 years ago) the Earth’s surface shifted causing the ice cap to slip off, which in turn caused the deluge. The seems to agree fairly well with Hapgood’s estimate of the last pole shift, between 18,000 and 12,000 years ago).
•  3: Childress (1999) presents diagrams of the four yuga cycles of the 6000 years from 22,000 bc to 2000 a.d., and the great yuga cycle from 46,000 bc to 22,000 bc. Interesting that the great cycle corresponds closely to the period Hapgood gives for the 3rd position of the polar axis (48,000 to 18,000 bc), and that the recent cycle corresponds to the present pole position (18,000 bc to present) (Hapgood, 1958).
• One final word: The Martian equator, like Earth's, has apparently shifted over time, and in writing about the famous Mars "face", astronomer Tom Van Flandern says that it has "...a culturally significant location on the old Martian equator and a culturally significant north-south orientation."

It’s well known that when cultures are replaced their sacred sites are usually adopted and incorporated into the current culture's traditions, apparently in an effort to entice the people to the new culture. This happened throughout the Americas during the Spanish conquest and evidently in England where the ancient “old straight tracks” (ley lines) now trace religious sites erected within recent times.

Of course I am not suggesting that the structures currently at these sites were built during the periods of the prehistoric equators (nor does Alison), but I do suggest that most of the site locations were first visited during these periods, and probably were points of Terrestrial contact between

Cererea pentru verificarea dosarelor de la CNSAS a fost făcută ca urmare a apariţiei Legii recunoştinţei faţă de eroii-martiri şi luptătorii care au contribuit la victoria Revoluţiei române din decembrie 1989 ( nr. 341/2004) care condiţionează eliberarea noilor certificate de revoluţionari de o verificare prealabilă a dosarelor de la CNSAS. Fiecare persoana care a solicitat preschimbarea certificatului a semnat o declaraţie notarială prin care se consemna că respectivul nu a făcut parte din organele de represiune ale fostului regim comunist şi nu a desfăşurat activităţi de poliţie politică. Deşi unii au semnat fără nici un fel de reţinere o astfel de declaraţie, ulterior au fost deconspiraţi că au avut astfel de activităţi. Pînă în prezent, nici unei persoane dovedite ca fost colaborator al poliţiei politice nu i s-a retras certificatul şi nici nu a fost obligat să restituie bunurile căpătate (terenuri, magazine, locuineţe şi indemnizaţii) în virtutea legii privind revoluţionarii.

De menţionat că deşi am depus cererea de verificare la CNSAS de aproape opt ani, abia de cîteva zile am primit un răspuns oficial, între timp, de cel puţin zece ori, trimiţîndu-mi-se adrese oficiale de la CNSAS prin care mi se cereau diverse acte: copie vizată la zi după cartea de muncă şi autobiografie amănunţită. Precizez că în 1989, aveam 21 de ani, eram student la zi, la Universitatea Politehnica, Facultatea de Energetică. Angajat am devenit abia după 1990, relevanţa unei cărţi de muncă nefiind justificată pentru cercetările de la CNSAS. În plus, CV-ul care mi-a fost solicitat de la CNSAS şi pe care l-am trimis conţinea în proporţie foarte mare, bineînţeles doar activităţile şi studiile efectuate începând cu 1989. Consider că aceste solicitări CNSAS au fost cel puţin aberante şi s-au constituit într-o procedură de tergiversare a cercetării.

În prezent, cercetările dosarelor revoluţionarilor de la CNSAS sunt făcute la cererea expresă a Secretariatului de Stat pentru Problemele Revoluţionarilor (SSPR), nu de alta, dar prin preschimabrea certificatelor de revoluţionari, posesorii acestora care au venit sub media pe economie primesc o indemnizaţie care depăşeşte salariul mediu pe economie, iar răniţii şi reţinuţii primesc această indemnizaţie indiferent de venitul realizat. Asta ca să nu punem la socoteală şi posibilitatea obţinerii unor terenuri, case, magazine etc. Poate şi din această cauză, după 18 ani, în sfârşit se face o verificare a dosarelor de la CNSAS.

* O cerere de verificare a dosarului meu de la CNSAS a mai fost făcută şi în anul 2004, în cadrul campaniei Voci curate, privind verificarea jurnalistilor. Bneinteles nicio persoana de pe lista nu a fost verificata.

The Nanda Devi Raj Jat pilgrimage, dating back to the 9th century, is mostly held in intervals of 12 years, when a four-horned Ram is born in one of the villages in the area.

The pilgrimage starts from Nauti village in Chamoli district on Tuesday and takes several days of trekking through the hilly terrain to reach the final destination of Homkund.

The image of the Goddess is taken on a palanquin along with offerings are taken in a procession, accompanied by bare-footed devotees. It is believed that the trek signifies Nanda's (maiden name of Parvati) journey from her maternal village to Shiva's abode in Homkund.

According to the folk songs recited during the festival, King Shalipal of Chandpur Garhi laid the foundation of the tradition. He also authorized his younger brother 'Kunwar' of Kansava to represent the royal house in the yatra with the four-horned Ram and ''chhantolis'' (traditional umbrellas) besides helping the priest perform all rites and rituals connected with the pilgrimage.It is not a very large kund (lake) and is rather shallow, having a depth of only about 2 metres. The edges are snow covered for most parts of the year, but when the snow melts, one can see human and equine skeletal remains, sometimes with flesh attached; well preserved in the alpine conditions. It is found that about 300 people died about 500-600 years ago. and it is the location of about three to six hundred skeletons at the edge of a lake. The location is uninhabited and is located at an altitude of about 5,029 metres. The skeletons were discovered in the 1942 when a park ranger stumbled upon on one of it and find a mass grave of skeletons. At that time it was believed that the people died from an epidemic, landslides or a blizzard. The carbon dating from samples collected at that time in the 1960s vaguely indicated that the people were from the 12th century to the 15th century.In 2004 a team of National geography some Indian and European scientists set off to the location to gain more information on the skeletons. The team uncovered vital clues including jewellery, skulls, bones and a preserved body. DNA tests on the bodies revealed that there were two groups of people, a short group (probably local porters) and a taller group who were closely related. Though the numbers were not ascertained, it is believed that three to six hundred people perished. Radiocarbon dating of the bones also accurately pinpointed the time period to be in the 9th century predating the earlier inaccurate tests. After studying fractures in the skulls, the scientists in Hyderabad and London determined that the people died not of disease but of a sudden hailstorm. The hail sizes were as large as cricket balls and with no shelter in the open Himalayas all of them perished. Furthermore with the rarefied air and icy conditions, many bodies were well preserved. With landslides in the area, some of the bodies made their way into the lake. What is not determined was where the group was headed to. There is no historical evidence of any trade routes to Tibet in the area or any places of pilgrimage.Roopkund is the destination of a religious event in Garhwal called the Nanda Jaat yatra which repeats in 12 years. The latest, at the time of writing, was in the year 2000. A ram with four horns is born and is considered as the vehicle of the Goddess which is taken through villages and finally to Roopkund. Thousands of people participate in this event, and many devotees continue their journey with the ram to Roopkund. According to the folklores, a king took part in this yatra with his entourage which had women dancers and Goddess Nanda was displeased with this. A snowstorm or an avalanche could be the reason for the skeletons in the lake.

How to Reach there

Kathgodam - Ranikhet - Garur - Gwaldam - Debal(1220 mts) - Bagargad(1890 mts)- Mandali village - Lohajung pass - Wan village(2590 mts) - Bedini Bugyal( 3660 mts) - Belpa Sulera(4270 mts) - Kelwa Binayak - Roopkund.

Gwaldam to Roopkund is on trek.
Devotees believe that the Ram moves under spiritual influence. It carries the bangles and clothes for Goddess. It is said that a four-horned Ram gets born every 12 years in Chandpurpatti of Karnprayag sub-division.

Gabriel had to get his neck fur, right under his chin, shaved. His shocker collar wasn't working right because his hair was so thick there, that the prongs weren't touching his skin and therefore he didn't feel the shock unless you put it up on about 5. It took both me and Levi to hold him while Mom shaved it off.. he did not like it!

Mom wrote up a document-type pattern thing for how we make our coverings.. Making-a-Headcovering (it also includes pictures!)

Levi, Mom, and I re-raked the dog fence trail this morning to get all the leaves off of it, and also where the chickens had scratched all the leaves back on it. It only took about half an hour, with all three of us doing it! We all picked different spots to start at and worked towards each other.

I've had the little guineas out all day, since this morning. I had to put Puffy Buffy and Light-Bill in the Rooster Pen, so the little guineas had to stay out. Puffy Buffy had been staying in the hen house, on the roost, since Thursday. I put her in there because if she had stayed in the duck pen, she would've been out in the rain and wind the whole time. I had already closed the hen house's windows so the wind couldn't come in.
Well, by this morning, she was completely tired of sitting on the roost all day and getting fed by me, so I had to put her over in the Rooster Pen (which only ever contains guineas and ducks!) with Lighty.

Oh, and here are two Scripture wallpapers that I made as requests but never got around to posting them!

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

And my newest, that I just completed for Rachel..

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Ils rappellent qu'immédiatement après le premier tour, le Parti radical de gauche, par la voix de son président Gérard Charasse, a appelé à voter à gauche au second tour. Chiffres et liste électorale en main, il est clair qu'aucun suffrage radical de gauche n'a manqué au tandem de gauche lors du deuxième tour.

Chiffres en main, il est tout aussi clair que l'Allier aurait pu envoyer au Sénat deux sénateurs de gauche. La cause de ce demi-échec est sans doute à chercher d'abord dans le maintien d'une division à gauche au second tour de l'élection ; ensuite dans une tradition politique départementale qui fait préférer à certains élus d'autres frontières que celles, les seules légitimes à nos yeux, tracées par l'action politique ; enfin dans la réaction de l'UMP face à la menace que faisait peser sur elle les résultats du premier tour.

Les deux premières de ces raisons ne pas sont immuables. C'est à ces enjeux, que passée l'émotion de sa demi-victoire, la gauche tout entière doit s'atteler. Si la volonté de gagner est sincère, avec au cœur le développement de notre département et le bien-être de nos concitoyens, il n'y a pas d'autre voie possible que le travail en commun, dans le respect de toutes les identités d'une famille qui peut, partout, prendre ensemble ses responsabilités.
