Secrets of The Black Awakening: Part III – SYNCHRONICITY

  

The Abyss of Hell, S. Botticelli

For thou hast said in thine heart, I WILL ascend into heaven,I WILLexalt my throne above the stars of God;I WILL sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north;I WILL ascend above the heights of the clouds;I WILL be like the most High.     

Yet
THOU SHALT BE BROUGHT DOWN TO HELL, TO THE SIDE OF THE PIT
    – Isaiah 14     

    
 In 1951, Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung presented the concept of synchronicity to the Eranos meeting in Zurich, Switzerland. The suggestion that chance, coincidence and parallel circumstances were driven by underlying causality has been accepted by mystics and theologians for millennia. Carl Jung’s introduction of the concept to mainstream medical thought was, and continues to be met with varying levels of skepticism.     
In 1952, Jung and Nobel laureate, physicist Wolfgang Pauli published, Synchronicity — An Acausal Connecting Principle, a collaborative effort born of a series of Pauli’s “initiatory” dreams which began shortly after his successful formulations of key principles of particle physics, an emerging, invisible and often seemingly contradictory discipline. It is from this strange world that a new breed of scientific giants would emerge, many shattered to the core with the implications: the known laws of science actually account for far less observable reality and that there are phenomena that are beyond the factors and laws of recognized physical science.
    
Theoretical and quantum physics have long been regarded as the high ground of scientific study, and subsequent conclusions were literally turning the world inside out. From microscope to telescope, science was measuring, fusing and splitting elements—at last viewing an invisible netherworld. Wolfgang Pauli’s consideration and acknowledgment of an underlying, governing dynamic provided a strong endorsement and formed the scientific equivalent of composer Richard Wagner’s social concept of metapolitics.
     
Carl Jung gave us his thumbnail description of synchronicity with a quote from Lewis Carroll’s, Through the Looking Glass, where the White Queen says to Alice, “It’s a poor sort of memory that only works backwards.”

Down the Rabbit Hole by VDelrey

    
A MEMORY THAT ONLY WORKS BACKWARDS     
 
In recent years, the corresponding disciplines of historians, geologists, linguists, archaeologists, socialists–virtually every ‘ology’ and ‘ism’ have seen vigorous challenges and calls for re-examination of entrenched theoretical and social paradigms: there was a time when Earth was in balance and evidence for universal cataclysm is substantial. Sacred texts have been saying it all along. So have folklore and legends, mythology and religion, as have the ritualistic practices of different cultures throughout the world.

Uniformity commences at least in part, from the inclusion of astronomical data; cataclysmic events; and a broadening of the definition of “text” to include mythology, archaeology, art, religion, ritual and other historical evidence. Consequently, a remarkably coherent but penetrating theme emerges.
    
MYTHING LINKS     
 
Most ancient civilizations have spoken of a Golden Age, a time of deep mystery, hidden kingdoms, cosmic destiny. A time of abundant life and fertility, Edenic existence, Platonic perfection, the terrestrial in balance with the celestial, before the imbalances and disharmonies, before the “Fall.” The “Once upon a time” era.  Almost universally, the descent from a Golden Age spreads from memory of a “celestial race” of the Hyperborea, the land beyond the aurora, the North Winds, the polar, “ice regions” of the planet, a race of colossal beings engaging in projects of massive scale.
These are the primordial ancestors of Helena Blavatsky’s “root race” philosophy: the four races that inhabited the Earth before our current epoch, the “Ancient High Civilizations” dating back hundreds of thousands of years. It was during the time of the Third Root Race, the Lemurian epoch, according to Blavatsky’s The Secret Doctrine, the Synthesis of Science, Religion and Philosophy (1888), that “gods walked the earth and mixed freely with the mortals” before being destroyed by a cataclysm that made it uninhabitable.
   
Jean-Claude Frère in Nazisme et Sociétés Secrètes (1974), proposes that the pristine survivors migrated to a region now covered by the Gobi Desert and founded a new seat, Agartha, the “center of the world.” It was from these ancient survivors that the Fourth Race was birthed, the “brilliant” Atlantean civilization which, according to Frère, prospered for 2,000 years before succumbing to another catastrophe. The subterranean Agartha however, the center of the earth, survived and the “Masters of the World” continue to dwell in multiple levels of chambers, dispatching orders to selected “initiates” such as Solomon, Pythagoras, Apollonius of Tyana, and Jesus.


The entrance to Agartha
 
From Agartha, the Fifth Root Race emerged as the Aryan people, migrating in two directions. One ventured north and west, conquering the lands of the sub-races in hope of rediscovering and occupying the Hyperborean “homeland.” The second group traveled south into the Himalayas, Tibet and India, finding dwelling places in caves and sub-surface caverns. The ruler of this underground kingdom is “Rigden Iyepo”, the “king of the heart of the world”, the “Lord of the Flame”. With his legions of Aryan Ascended Masters, this king is described as the possessor of an astonishing occult power known as Vril. The keeper of this gate and Rigden Iyepo’s representative on the surface is, the Dalai Lama. 
Jean-Claude Frère describes the migrations:  
“…the sons of the Outer Intelligences are said to have split into two groups, one following the “Right-hand Path” under the “Wheel of the Golden Sun,” the other the “Left-hand Path,” under the “Wheel of the Black Sun.” The first group preserved the center of Agartha, that undefined place of contemplation, the Good, and of the Vril force. The second supposedly created a new place of initiation at Shambhala, the city of violence in command of the elements and human masses, hastening the arrival of the “charnel-house of time.”       

Michael S. Heiser, author of The Divine Council, and editor for Logos Bible Software is a researcher into ancient and Biblical language and studies. Here, he discusses the concepts of territorial rulers, ancient fallen entities, and legal rights to specific geographic areas:

“The Bible describes a world where cosmic-geographical lines have been drawn. Israel was holy ground because it was Yahweh’s inheritance. The territory of other nations belonged to other elohim because Yahweh had decreed it as such. The lands of the other nations were populated by those who worshipped the corrupt elohim, and by the remnant of those who had been fathered by other elohim.* 

Published in 1879, Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s novel, Vril: The Power of the Coming Race, describes Vril as a form of earth-energy possessed by an extremely powerful subterranean race associated with “life-giving elixirs”, “force ray cannons”, electro-magnetic transmission rods, and Atlantean “spiritual exercises.”
   
At the heart of Vril lies the “Enochian” knowledge of sonic equations with mirrored waveforms of light and electro-magnetism, capable of interacting with and affecting the human nervous system and consciousness (as well as ‘other life forms’), geophysical structures, planets and other stellar systems. It has been suggested that the frequencies of this language of light can be so precise that the center elements of the Great Pyramid at Giza are tuned to the frequency of a human heartbeat.

 The ancient wisdom of electrical conductivity, hydro purification processes, and geomantic energy fields was orally communicated and eventually recorded textually within the tablets with astounding scientific and technical accuracy and through the traditions of indigenous cultures to describe the Earth’s emanations and the corresponding alignment of the emanations of humans.
     
This tuning of frequencies would in fact align with the very real phenomenon of so-called Ley Lines, lines of electromagnetic energy crossing the grids of the Earth and forming nodal points, which frequently reveal archaeological evidence of layering of cultures and time periods over specific areas. Often these pathways are used for ceremonial purposes with remarkably similar rituals, which included human sacrifice, being performed by an entirely different culture.
     
The Prince of Persia, discussed in Daniel 10, apparently had similar sacrificial preferences (Dan. 3) and that theosophic teachings specifically cite a common Aryan lineage. The ancient, dark rulers have yet to be quenched, and there is strong evidence that their realms expand and overlap, quite possibly in a cumulative manner but unquestionably when entreated and unchecked.
   
1 Enoch 8 speaks of a fallen one, Azazel, who “taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them….” In eons past, dark personalities have clashed with the righteous as well as among themselves.     

The power of VRIL

Adolf Hitler envisioned this coming time:
“It is from there that the final stage in human mutation will emerge – the MAN-GOD!
   
This splendid Being will become the object of universal worshipIn what may prove to be the most exquisite paradox in history, a generation of academicians, at long last theoretically sanctioned via Jung/Pauli, allowed the blending of the ‘meta with the measured.’  However, these same, enlightened scientists appeared to disregard the concept that, while the physical appears to be bound within a lineal history, the specific ‘world’ being examined by the very same scientific discipline, was not.


The Vril - Psychics and Saucers
  
The events we see now, the wars, the hunger, the blackness. You can feel it in the air, you know that something is coming. But that is nothing by comparison to the shock and awe that the abyss will release.  These destructive powerful beings will be unbound, and they only have one nature, they only know one thing: destruction, harm, torture, pain…creating agony and a psychological wish for suicide. - Russ Dizdar    


And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name APOLLYON.   Rev. 9:11

The problem is not the abyss. 
The problem is what comes out of the abyss. 
The abyss is a place, it is a horrible place. 
It is without question that it exists, and it is, without question, dimensional.
It is from that side, what has been invisible to our eyes,
that will be unleashed a dimensional impact which will be catastrophic.   

Failure and Success: Our God is Too Small



Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together. 
--Psalm 34:3

I am positively sure after many years of observation and prayer that
the basis of all of our trouble today, in religious circles, is that
our God is too small.

When he says magnify the Lord, he doesn't mean that you are to make
God big, but you are to see Him big. When we take a telescope and
look at a star, we don't make the star bigger, we only see it big.
Likewise you cannot make God bigger, but you are only to see Him
bigger....

My brethren, God calls us to magnify Him, to see Him big. A meeting
is not big because a lot of people are present. A meeting is big
because a number of people see a big God in the meeting. And the
bigger God is seen, the greater the meeting. A friend of mine has a
little saying, 'I would rather have a big, little meeting than a
little, big meeting.' There are a lot of big meetings that are little
because the God in them is a small God. And there are a lot of little
meetings that are big because God is big in the midst of them....

That is the first thing--magnify God. Your ministry will be little,
and you will live and die little unless you have a bigger God. 
Success and the Christian, 36-37,40

Secrets of The Black Awakening: Part II – WHAT LIES BENEATH?


Mount Untersberg, Austria
“The Mountain of the people carried away”
 _____________________
Mount Untersberg, Austria. Most in American and western cultures have unknowingly been captivated by the pristine majesty of this Austrian summit, though few realize it.
The sweeping panorama of the spectacular Untersberg was the location of the opening and closing scenes of Rogers and Hammerstein’s spectacular musical, The Sound of Music. We too gathered ‘round as Julie Andrews sang of the songs sung for a thousand years and experienced the jubilation as the Von Trapp family struggled over the cragged rocks of Untersberg to escape the Nazi dominion.

We were delighted with Mount Untersberg. So was Adolf Hitler.
A favored destination for outdoor enthusiasts, Mount. Untersberg has long drawn climbers, hikers, skiers and canyoners, and paragliders. The Saltzburg, Austria tourism guide describes Untersberg as “Nature on the doorstep” and as the “heart of many Salzburg traditions.” But exactly what is at the “heart of” so many Salzburg traditions is to many both captivating and terrifying: an older rendering of “Untersberg” is “Berg der Unteren” – “the mountain of the people carried away.”

THE HILLS ARE ALIVE

 Often noted by spiritual aspirants as an “energy spot” or “magnetic geo-node,” many seekers come to Untersberg to be refreshed by the water, drawn to over 400 caves and tunnels by what is described as a “strong magnetic anomaly.” Mount Untersberg has been characterized by the Dalai-Lama as the “sleeping dragon,” the “heart-chakra of the world.” The legends of time portals, missing expeditions, tunnel systems leading to fountains, temples, forests and marble rooms go back hundreds of years.
 One of the most persistent rumors involves the legend of Karl the Great (of the Holy Roman Empire of German Nation), known in the west as Charles the Great or Charlemagne. Though physically buried in the German village of Aachen, it is believed that the “astral form” of this emperor sleeps in the mysterious depths of a subterranean throne room, surrounded by his strongest knights, gnomes, frost giants and fire giants, Valkyries and other “Volk,” awaiting the final liberation of his country and kinsmen; that he will rule over a thousand year kingdom of Aryan dominion. Other accounts maintain this entity is the spirit of the emperor Frederich Barbarossa.


Ice Caves of Untersberg

Within the ancient “mythologies” of the “Ice People,” are the prophecies that at a future point in time, though time itself is a variable, the “Watcher-god” Heimdall will sound his trumpet to summon the children of Loki. This semi-divine/human Sixth Race will break their bonds and unite with the forces of chaos to sail from the land of the Niflheim, located in an astral plane beyond the auroras, waging the final battle with the current “usurpers” of the planet to culminate in the enthronement of their vaticinated king.
 It is this anticipated kingdom and its preparation that has been the goal of the ancient spirits. This is the heart of The Black Awakening. And it is the understanding of the “Volk” that clarifies this motivation and interprets the history of the human race.

Mount Untersberg  © Photographers Direction
The Untersberg is known to be inhabited by certain kinds of elemental spirits of Nature, some of which are good and benevolent, others of a wicked and malicious nature, and inimical to mankind; and there are innumerable tales circulating among the people in the neighborhood, telling about the doings of the gnomes, fairies, wild women, and giants, dwelling within caves and in gorgeous marble halls and grottoes filled with gold and precious stones that will turn into dead leaves and stones when seen in the light of day.

“Some of the friendly tribes come out of the Untersberg on certain occasions, and they are said to have sometimes associated with the inhabitants of our plane of existence, partaking in the dances and amusements of the peasants, and even taking stray children with them into the Untersberg; and, incredible as it may appear, it is even asserted by, “those who know” that marriages have taken place between citizens of our world and the inhabitants of the kingdom of gnomes, and that these spirits of Nature, being themselves not immortal, seek to obtain immortality by their union with immortal man….

 “…Of course it is known to everybody that within the mysterious depths of the Untersberg there dwells the soul of a great emperor in his astral form. There, together with his retinue, he sleeps an enchanted sleep, waiting for the liberation of his country. Sometimes very suddenly, even on a clear summer day, clouds are seen to issue from the sides of the mountain; grotesquely-formed ghost-like mists arise from the caverns and precipices, crawling and gliding slowly upwards toward the top, and form on the neighboring peaks also, clouds of monstrous shapes and sometimes of gigantic proportions floating on, until the head of the Untersberg is surrounded by a surging sea of vapours growing dense and dark….

“…This of course is fable, and the ‘emperor in the Untersberg’ is well known to the wise; but as to the dark birds referred to, they are typified by certain black-robed and stiff-necked gentlemen, whom you may frequently meet. The liberation for which the emperor waits also seems to me not that from any foreign yoke, but the redemption from selfishness with its consequent evils…”
“Look at The Untersberg over there.  It is not by chance that I have my seat across from it.” – A. Hitler
For some, sites such as Untersberg, Mt. Shasta, Chitzen Itza, Serpent Mounds and Apollonian Temples inspire an earthy yet universal connectivity with the expectation of a quantum evolutionary spiritual leap, the dawning of Aquarius, the cosmic moment which will rally a collective pantheistic spirit into an age of resonant peace.
But for others, it is from within such venues and ruins that sinister presences emerge, smoldering for centuries and summoned by the siren’s song of a long awaited destiny. They have indeed been patient: a final rest before their “finest hour.”

FROM OBLIVIOUS TO OBLIVION
 As both a watchman and a hands on intercessor, Russ Dizdar sees the coming onslaught:
 Like the prophecy of the flood, spoken of in the Old Testament, a catastrophic event, similar seekers, led by the same ancient spirits, mocked, laughed, sat and watched as the days moved forward. What God had spoken about for the catastrophic event of the flood eventually occurred.
Ancient war gods, separated by time, geography, language and culture are mustering through hedonistic arrogance. Now battling among themselves for dominance, taking hostage the human race while using it as foot soldiers before being discarded as pawns, these dark spirits know of a coming date. It is revealed in Revelation 19:19. Eventually, they will unite to “wage war” with the ‘common’ enemy.
But God has unveiled massive communication about why we sense evil in the air. Believe it or not, it doesn’t change. What God has spoken will come to pass. It has been revealed that a devastating impact, a Black Awakening so massive, so striking, that some, even those who are searching through all the minute tributaries of spiritual streams, those grabbing hold of every eclectic spiritual experience, looking under every spiritual rock and seeking to break through the dimensions and get to the other side, will be slaughtered as ritual.




Iconic view of Berchtesgarden

What can be expected of the Volkeschaos? Russ continues:
Every type of killing spree will be happening in every city, at the same time along with many other things, bombings, crippling of the water supply, crippling of the electrical grid, sabotage in the military, government and law enforcement; the elimination of resisters. As bad as some things we have seen, this will be on a global level, and they are only sparks before the fire.
The question is whether we are ready. What can we do to weaken the Black Awakening?  The Black Awakening is the busting of the dam, but it is not water that will gush out; it’s the millions of dark spirits who are massed at the border of the veil that is between us and them. It is a satanic ritual, and those open doors to the dark spirits.
The Black Awakening will have such a presence and manifestation of the demonic that it will be like a soot you can feel but not see. The coming new spiritual order will come out of bloody chaos and havoc will be accomplished by these hideous overlords.

Failure and Success: Just a Small Church Upcountry



How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum
of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the
sand; when I awake, I am still with You. 
--Psalm 139:17-18

No matter how insignificant he may have been before, a man becomes
significant the moment he has had an encounter with the Son of God.
When the Lord lays His hand upon a man, that man ceases at once to be
ordinary. He immediately becomes extraordinary, and his life takes on
cosmic significance. The angels in heaven take notice of him and go
forth to become his ministers (Hebrews 1:14). Though the man had
before been only one of the faceless multitude, a mere cipher in the
universe, an invisible dust grain blown across endless wastes-now he
gets a face and a name and a place in the scheme of meaningful things.
Christ knows His own sheep "by name."

A young preacher introduced himself to the pastor of a great
metropolitan church with the words, 'I am just the pastor of a small
church upcountry.' 'Son,' replied the wise minister, "there are no
small churches." And there are no unknown Christians, no
insignificant sons of God. Each one signifies, each is a "sign"
drawing the attention of the Triune God day and night upon him. The
faceless man has a face, the nameless man a name, when Jesus picks
him out of the multitude and calls him to Himself.  We Travel an
Appointed Way, 19.

Secrets of the Black Awakening - Part 1


There is a bit of speculation in this series, but it's informed speculation that should be of interest to Christians in these last days.  The Lord predicted a conspiracy would take place in the last days in an attempt by kings, rulers and the nations to overthrow Him.  While that sounds wild to us, it is written in Psalm 2, and we do see evidence of it occurring today, much of that shared in this series.
 



WE ARE THE LOST ONES
From a Time before Time
From a Land beyond the Stars
From the Age when Anu walked the earth
In company of Bright Angels.
We have survived the first War
Between the Powers of the Gods
And have seen the wrath of the Ancient Ones
Dark Angels
Vent upon the Earth

WE ARE FROM A RACE BEYOND THE WANDERERS OF NIGHT.
We have survived the Age when Absu ruled the Earth
And the Power destroyed our generations.
We have survived on tops of mountains
And beneath the feet of mountains
And have spoked with the Scorpions
In allegiance and were betrayed.

OF THE GENERATIONS OF THE ANCIENT ONES
The accounts of the generations
Of the Ancient Ones here rendered
Of the generations of the Ancient Ones
Here remembered.
Cold and Rain that erode all things
They are the Evil Spirits
In the creation of Anu spawned
Plague gods

From the Magian Text of the Babylonian Necronomicon
(Avon Books, 1980, xx.)
Part One of an exclusive PID series from the pen of symbologist and researcher into all that ‘lies beneath’, Sue Bradley.

By SUE BRADLEY
August 11, 2008
The Black Awakening has nothing to do with a specific human race.
The Black Awakening does however have everything to do with another race.
But what race?



The Clash of Kingdoms and
The Battle for the Ascendancy of the Satanic Presence

WHERE DID THE REBELLION BEGIN?
Author Tom Horn supplies an uncomfortable answer:
“Something alarming has been happening since the dawn of time, which has been recorded in the history, holy books, and mythos of every great civilization. Ancient rabbinical authorities including Septuagint translators and early church fathers understood it. Sumerians, Assyrians, Egyptians, Greeks, the Hindus, the American Indians, and virtually all other civilizations wrote about it. Beings of super intelligence sometimes referred to as “gods” descend through openings of sky, earth, and sea to interact with this planet’s creatures.”
A pattern began ago and is chronicled by the ancients of the great civilizations of Lemuria, Mu and Atlantis when the gods ruled our Solar System. Mighty in size and savage in deed whose memory seemed to be imbedded within the very blood of history. These gods with an insatiable appetite for blood, destruction and horror can be heard by ancient echoes with vague remnants still calling. And patterns, by nature, repeat.
These hybrid Nephilim, curiously known by etymologic tracing as “sons of outrageous behavior,” have experienced an unprecedented resurgence of interest, and not simply as a topic of theological speculation. They have spawned an entire genre of books, movies, television and innumerable podcast and radio shows. “Experts” seemingly appear out of nowhere, impressively but suspiciously savvy.

Is it possible that the embers of ancient confusion, contest, and conquest — smoldering through the millennia of recent recorded history and kept alive with sacrificial rituals — will soon reignite a spark to light the torch of the ancient Black Flame?
What is going on? The chaos is increasing.

Pastor Russ Dizdar
“Chaos,” says Russ Dizdar, “is a big word…We see hostility in so many ways, in the school shootings, fires, some of the biggest of those fires have been purposely set. But this is the kind of world that we are living in right now and we’re seeing the entire shaking of all kinds of levels the fabric. I think people are afraid of it, I think people are really worried now.
“People are hearing voices, there’s a dark impulse and people are pushed over the edge.” Evil is creeping in all around us and our culture is feeling the effects of it. Almost everyone is saying it, ‘What’s next?’”
Although the climate is dark worldwide, it is nowhere more evident than in the (presumably) most technologically advanced nation in the world, the United States. Preoccupation with self, events, ‘circumstances,’ have resulted in a harried society, spiritually anemic, Laodicean in character: neither hot nor cold, perhaps numb would be appropriate.


The Last Judgment - Raphael

Yet within the great borders of our national “melting pot,” political factions spar, ethnic divisions scuffle, philosophic concepts collide, and society’s moral composition degrades. A closer examination of far greater significance goes unrecognized to most: the reality of spiritual warfare and specifically territorial influences. Culture is comfortable, and familiar possessions and customs accompany the “huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” But what has this promise of freedom brought along? And what was already here? And what is this generation bringing again?

SPIRITUAL DYNAMICS BEHIND THE SCENES

With the onset of the “War on Terror” staged in ancient Babylon, students of Scripture recognize the significance and strength of the Prince of Persia. So strong was this “prince,’ that Daniel’s petition was delayed for twenty-one days while a struggle between the Prince of Persia and Gabriel took place, which was subsequently resolved by the direct intervention of Michael the Archangel.
We are subsequently told of other hostile princes, principalities, and rulers who battle with mankind and among themselves. From the text, it is clear that Daniel’s petition was challenged by unseen resistance, a presence that had influence over the region, and continues today. Why is it then that we have become fascinated and so intricately linked with this region?

CONNECTIONS

Author and researcher Joseph P. Farrell provides historical clarity.
“The doctrine of the Black Sun, reaching back to ancient Sumer and Akkadia, is that there are two suns, the “white” sun, the sun that we see at the center of our physical solar system, and the “black” sun, a “hidden sun of (spiritual) illumination…In Babylonian mythology it was also associated with the coming of the “King of kings” and the establishment of a New Babylon.”
Farrell also explains the application to twentieth century Germany, specifically the elite SS:
“Central to the secret initiation that these senior SS generals received was the real significance of the anagram “SS” itself. For the “rank and file elite” of the SS, the initials stood for the German word Schutzstaffel, a term meaning loosely, a special staff or military unit. But to the initiates, there was another meaning of “SS” altogether, a meaning with roots deep in the occult and in ancient Sumerian, Babylonian, and to a certain extent, Egyptian belief. For these initiates, the letters “SS referred to die Schwarze Sonne, the Black Sun.”
Pastor Dizdar moves forward with a contemporary example:
“Look at history: the 80,000 SS troops inducted into a cult, Nazi occultism Where did they go? What did they take with them when they went around the world including the United States. A lot of our occultic depth here in the US, a lot of the Left Hand Path really flowed in the 1950’s and the second greatest proliferation of occult literature flowed in the 60s.
“So if we look, we see doorways that have been opened, even among churches. When morality is undercut and the door to the other side is opened, it is opened for deception – and that deception always brings destruction. The largest cultic movement in the history of Christianity, the New Age Movement is here.”
The ease of access to historical documents has been greatly facilitated by 21st Century electronic technology. Pre-World War II evidence is revealing multiple, disturbing insights into the origins of an esoteric and occultic Third Reich. The reunification of the German State took place on October 3rd 1990, when the German Democratic Republic (GDR / East Germany) established five states, which joined the Federal Republic of Germany while the GDR abolished its existence.



Formerly classified documents were released only to confirm long suspected occultic activity: that Heinrich Himmler sought to find pure Ayran blood, which he believed contained latent properties of a superior and supernatural race. This belief led to expeditions to the near and far east under the guise of the “Ancestral Research Bureau.” Nuremburg Trial documents record Himmler’s quest: “The purpose was to research all avenues of ancient mythology, texts, esotericism . . . for the purpose of the potential military application.”

According the Dr. Achille Delmas, the Reich’s real purpose was to perform an act of creation, a divine biological mutation which would overtake the world with the “apparition of a new race of heroes and demigods and god-men,”– a final exaltation of the human race. Interestingly, this is echoed by present day Aryan loyalists by the acronym: ORION, “Our Race Is Our Nation.”

But the strange exploration was not limited to bloodlines. A driving search for ancient technology or information was of equal if not greater importance. Expeditions to Tibet, present day Iraq, Iran and other Middle East venues were undertaken for the purpose of acquiring knowledge or artifacts that might have been of enormous value in the development of sophisticated weapons systems.

Though for some, the technical documentation necessary to dissolve the Nazi Party is incomplete, it is generally accepted that the Third Reich was officially dissolved on May 7th and May 8th, 1945. Top scientific researchers were given asylum throughout the world: to Russia, South America, the United States, Middle East and virtually every continent. Others were given new identities and secreted through Vatican Rat Lines. These same scientists would come to be senior advisors to various advanced projects in their respective ‘shelters.’

Is it possible, that with this advanced knowledge, these highly trained scientists and industrialists, while providing direction and continued development to their respective ‘adopted’ scientific and intelligence programs, also maintained inner communication? That while ironically and strategically ensconced in every continent on the Earth and beyond, they continued their horrific, ancient quest, generously funded by possibly complicit ‘host’ governors and their unsuspecting dependents?


The Throne of Satan from Pergamos, now in Berlin - Rev. 2:13

At the close of a June, 2006 interview with Peter Levenda, author of Unholy Alliance, A History of Nazi Involvement with the Occult, Derek Gilbert of PID Radio offered an intriguing question:
DG: Do you see any connection between this belief system and a group of European nobility, the Royal Dragon Court for example, I don’t want to single them out but will use them as a “for instance,” who may be attempting to assert a divine right of kings if you will, or a divine bloodline. Do they have any connections or are there similar goals in mind there?
Are there similar connections or similar goals in mind there?

PL: There are similar goals. I think if we look at what’s happening to the world today, going to have to make some petty hard choices in the next twenty, thirty years.
If the environment continues to deteriorate, if conditions domestically in our own country continue to deteriorate, if things continue to go wrong in too many places, you’re going to find the only people showing up with a plan are going to be the last people we want showing up with a plan.
“And I think they are going to be very effective because they’re going to say, “This is what we have to do. These are hard choices. We’re going to have to make these choices now.
“I think you’re going to have people listening to this because right now our leaders are kind of all over the place, no one seems to know what to do or what’s going on, no one’s takings decisive action.
Some people are going to react very well to a leadership that comes on the scene that says, “ We can take the decisive action, we can do what has to be done.
“ ‘Just give us the power’….and I think they’re going to take advantage of a lot of our fears and parnoias. Maybe the environment is not going to deteriorate, but it’s just going to look like that. We’re going to expect more hurricanes and tornadoes and earthquakes. People are going to become frightened about that. People are going to get frightened about immigration. Immigration is a big issue for these people. This is something that they love. Immigration is something tailor made for them. Immigration is a code word for racism.
“All of these things are going to come into play, the environment is being created the political environment is being created that, someone who is an ‘inheritor’ of these Nazi ideals would find very easy to come on the stage and in a very gentle and covert way still take control and still get things done that the Nazis wanted to get done sixty years ago, seventy years ago.”

DG: And offer a way to create Order from Chaos as it were.”

PL: Sure.
Order from Chaos, Ordo ab Chaos. A pre-apocalyptic counterfeit of Genesis 1:2.
Many are coming to believe that this is a very real possibility. Comparisons of US domestic and foreign policies to 1930 Germany increase daily. One cannot even begin to imagine the horrific possibilities that such a scheme would provide with the recognition that dark, spiritual forces do indeed continue to work.
But for Russ Dizdar it is reality:
“The weaponization of the satanic powers is not a bizarre movie idea. Its something that military leaders are convinced they will need. Mil-science has been and is invaded, someone is looking over their shoulders and it is not human. The dark powers have and are supervising the development of a technology that will ensure the control of the mind along with the supernatural enhancement of fierce soldiers.
“There has been and is ongoing, a weaponization of demonic ideology and power for the alteration of the human will and ability. Could this be the power of the blood of Nephilim? The weaponizaton of Nephilim blood. Did they find the Ayran pure blood? The blood with the genetics of the demon gods?”
This fusion of blood has gone from Mesopotamia to Memphis to Munich and Wewelsberg. From ‘The Ahnenerbe’ to Lebensborn to Monarch and beyond. Beyond Blavatsky, Crowley, List, Sebotendorff, Himmler, Smirnov, Dutroux and Aquino. It was before and beyond Theosophy, Thule-Gesellschaft, The Holy Vehm. And it is a current now surging through eugenics, cloning and transhumanism to the very physics of the Black Sun, Sirius, Hyperborea, and Neuschwabenland and submerged in cryptic ciphers of Nordic “Undergrounders.
“We are seeing the preparation for the most advanced, supernatural military system in the history of the world: empowered, enlarged, enlightened, transmuted, with a raging insatiable and demonic agenda. And nothing we are seeing now can prepare us for the next few years.
“The goal? To create massive anarchy and chaos for the purpose of collapsing the current structures to be replaced with the New World Order. They have been “creating” the Chosen Ones for over sixty years for the creation of the Master Race to be used in service for a 1,000 year Fourth Reich.”
“Most don’t know that it is predicted that an army will surface such as the world has never seen. An army whose leaders and soldiers will be the most fierce and evil ever. Many of them shall be birthed in satanic powers, bathed in satanic secrecy and will demonstrate supernatural strength and abilities. Forged in hell,” says Pastor Dizdar.
Others like Tom Horn seem to concur:
“Of course one might argue that this could be a gradual process. This is a tragic assumption. In fact, the process will be rapid, undertaken with surprise attacks employing plagues and hi-tech, microscopic nanomachines designed to bring about the demise of its host. This won’t be a process in which one race replaces another, slowly and peacefully, even if that is the misrepresentation that most people receive. It will be violent, bloody conflict.
“What is planned is a quick change, a coup d’etat where mankind is there one day, and in mass graves the next. The goal is to replace mankind.”
These Satanic Super Soldiers, bred to breed and raised to raze, await the clandestine trigger for “Activation.” Is it possible that the Fourth Reich could be a prelude to the Fourth Beast from the sea? Is the black boot polished and ready to fall? Or has it already?


“We do not want another committee, we have too many already.
What we want is a man of sufficient stature to hold the allegiance of all the people and
lift us up out of the economic morass into which we are sinking.
Send us such a man, and whether he be God or devil, we will receive him.”

NASA Acknowledges What They Said Was Impossible - Cold Fusion Works



The implications of this are quite staggering.  Billions of dollars have been put into the long search for nuclear fusion at incredibly high temperatures.  Now science leaders are admitting what they denied for decades, that simply mixing certain chemicals at room temperature releases more energy than goes into the experiment.  So the world energy problems are all solved now, right?   Probably not.  Only if it pleases those who hold power.

A revolutionary development in Energy production which was discovered years ago is now reality. Cold Fusion, as it was once called, is now believed to be a major source of Energy for the future. The discovery and development of this new technology which is called Low Energy Nuclear Reaction (LENR) is the product of many years of research originally conducted by Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons.
NASA just released on January 12th 2012 a video that describes how LENR works and the practical benefits. The video is now in the process of being seen globally with theintelhub.com being one of the first to bring this information to the public – even NASA has not officially publicized this discovery.

Method for Enhancement of Surface Plasmon Polaritons to Initiate & Sustain LENR
The video is from the NASA Langley Research Center video on LENR, (Low Energy Nuclear Reactions) featuring NASA senior research scientist Joseph Zawodny. The original video is titled: Method for Enhancement of Surface Plasmon Polaritons to Initiate & Sustain LENR in MHS and is available at the NASA Technology Gateway site.
Read the NASA Langley 2010 IPP Accomplishments Summary and visit the NASA Technology Gateway as well as check out the NASA Technology Gateway Media Gallery.
A simple explanation of LENR from Wikipedia describes the technology as;
“Cold fusion, also called low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR), is a type of relatively low temperature nuclear reaction reported to have occurred by some experimenters, but which others have not been able to reproduce. Both the experimental results and the hypothesis are disputed. The ideas gained attention after the reports of Martin Fleischmann, then one of the world’s leadingelectrochemists,[1] and Stanley Pons in 1989 that they had produced anomalous heat (“excess heat”) of a magnitude they asserted would defy explanation except in terms of nuclear processes.”
Many articles are online including the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency report on cold fusion: Technology Forecast: Worldwide Research on Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions Increasing and Gaining Acceptance DIA-08-0911-003, 13 November 2009, and the CBS 60 Minutes reports on cold fusion on April 19, 2009.

The 60 Minutes investigator said;
“And we found that the pentagon is saying it too.

SPECIAL ADDENDUM:
 Ahough this current research into LENR – Cold Fusion appears to be conclusive, it should be noted that this information being released by NASA at this time may reveal a covert reason for doing so – namely, to discredit Steven Jones’ integrity and degrade his research into 9/11 – call it a Conspiracy Theory.
Further, it is not our intent to highlight Steven Jones involvement in Cold Fusion other than to make readers of theintelhub.com aware of this historical fact.
Accordingly, the Wikipedia article on Cold Fusion states:
 In 1988, Fleischmann and Pons applied to the United States Department of Energy for funding towards a larger series of experiments. Up to this point they had been funding their experiments using a small device built with $100,000 out-of-pocket.[32]
The grant proposal was turned over for peer review, and one of the reviewers was Steven E. Jones of Brigham Young University.[32] Jones had worked for some time on muon-catalyzed fusion, a known method of inducing nuclear fusion without high temperatures, and had written an article on the topic entitled “Cold nuclear fusion” that had been published in Scientific American in July 1987.
Fleischmann and Pons and co-workers met with Jones and co-workers on occasion in Utah to share research and techniques. During this time, Fleischmann and Pons described their experiments as generating considerable “excess energy”, in the sense that it could not be explained by chemical reactions alone.[31] They felt that such a discovery could bear significant commercial value and would be entitled to patent protection. Jones, however, was measuring neutron flux, which was not of commercial interest.[32] In order to avoid problems in the future, the teams appeared to agree to simultaneously publish their results, although their accounts of their March 6 meeting differ.[33]
  It’s interesting to note the chain of events surrounding the initial reaction to Cold Fusion.
 
On May 1, 1989, the American Physical Society held a session on cold fusion in Baltimore, including many reports of experiments that failed to produce evidence of cold fusion. At the end of the session, eight of the nine leading speakers stated that they considered the initial Fleischmann and Pons claim dead with the ninth, Johann Rafelski, abstaining.[6] Steven E. Koonin of Caltech called the Utah report a result of “the incompetence and delusion of Pons and Fleischmann” which was met with a standing ovation.[55] Douglas R. O. Morrison, a physicist representing CERN, was the first to call the episode an example of pathological science.[6][56]
On May 4, due to all this new criticism, the meetings with various representatives from Washington were cancelled.[57]
From May 8 only the A&M tritium results kept cold fusion afloat.[58]
In July and November 1989, Nature published papers critical of cold fusion claims.[59][60] Negative results were also published in several other scientific journals including Science, Physical Review Letters, and Physical Review C (nuclear physics).[notes 2]
Interestingly enough there is a more recent update to the Wikipedia article:
In April 2011 Dennis M. Bushnell, Chief scientist at NASA Langley Research Center, stated that LENR is a very “interesting and promising” new technology that is likely to advance “fairly rapidly.” [111] In a recent presentation researchers fromNASA Glenn Research Center expressed a great potential for LENR.[112][113][114]

John Hus: Martyred by the Catholic Church for the Gospel

I would share with the reader that Hus story is a personal favorite of mine.  Of all the many Christian saints who have gone before us, something about his gift for seeing the truth past all of the lies that had infiltrated the Catholic Church has always encouraged me.  His perseverance and courage before the rigidly determined Catholic hierarchy has inspired many through the years, including Martin Luther.


The Hus Memorial in Prague

Early Life
 
John Hus was born in 1373 in the southern part of Bohemia (now Czechoslovakia) in the village of Husinec -- hence his surname, Hus. The name Hus means "goose," a word which Hus often used in referring to himself. While he was imprisoned in Constance, he wrote his friends in Bohemia that he hoped the goose might be released from prison and that "if you love the goose," try to secure the king's aid in delivering him from prison.
He was born of poor peasant parents, all of which meant that his early life was one of hardship and cruel poverty under the crushing heel of lords and princes. The difficulties of such a life were, amongst a peasant population, broken only by wild and riotous orgies of drinking and fornication. While it is clear from Hus' later letters that he was as riotous as his fellows, nevertheless, he earnestly insisted that he was never guilty of the immorality of his peers. From this the Lord saved him in preparation for greater work.
While his parents were not noted in any way for their piety, and apparently gave little thought to John's spiritual instruction, they did want him to go to school because they saw education as the only way for John and for them to escape their grinding poverty. In fact, they apparently considered an education for the priesthood to be the surest way to wealth, an irony that spoke volumes concerning the sad state of affairs in the Romish Church.
 
Although John became a highly educated man, his peasant upbringing remained with him all his life, and his enemies repeatedly taunted him for his crude and rough origins.
In 1385, at thirteen years old, John began his formal education in elementary school at Prachatice. Finishing this part of his education in 1390, he went to the University of Prague, acquiring a B.A. degree in 1393 (at the age of 20); a M.A. in 1396; and a B.D. in 1404. Until he earned his M.A., life was financially difficult; and he earned a bit of money by singing and doing manual work. But upon gaining his M.A. degree, he was qualified to teach, which also he did in the university. He was soon the most popular teacher in the university, partly because he broke old traditions by refusing to be the stern and unbending professor, preferring to laugh, joke, and socialize with his students.


John Hus
 
Hus, the Preacher
 
In 1402 John was appointed rector and preacher at the Chapel of the Holy Infants of Bethlehem in Prague. Thus John occupied two of the most strategic positions in all Bohemia -- although he was probably unaware of their importance. The city of Prague had a lengthy tradition of reform and could boast some outstanding preachers, who even preached from the Scriptures. To this tradition Hus fell heir. The University of Prague was in the very center of the reform movement and was a place of ferment as new ideas and programs for the church were constantly being discussed. The chapel to which Hus was appointed was raised in 1391 by a rich merchant as a center for reform preaching.
 
It was about the time that Hus began preaching that he also was converted. It seems as if his conversion was centered in his calling to preach. Prior to 1400 Hus had studied for the priesthood in the firm conviction that this was the way to escape from poverty. But when actually confronted with the task of preaching, his life underwent a fundamental change and he was overcome by the consciousness of the great task of preaching the gospel of Christ. He himself wrote of how important he considered preaching: "By the help of God I have preached, still am preaching, and if his grace will allow, shall continue to preach; if perchance I may be able to lead some poor, tired, or halting soul into the house of Christ to the King's supper."

Hus the Preacher

 
The Reformer
 
The teachings of John Wycliffe had come to Bohemia as early as 1390. A close alliance had been established between England and Bohemia because England's king, Richard II, had married Anne of Bohemia, the sister of Bohemia's king. Scholars had traveled between the countries, and one eminent scholar, Jerome of Prague, had spent some time in Oxford, Wycliffe's school, where he had absorbed the teachings of Wycliffe. On his return, he had spread Wycliffe's writings and teachings throughout Prague and the university.
 
Although reform had been in the air for many years, the spread of Wycliffe's teachings gave it direction and a doctrinal foundation. John Hus had become thoroughly familiar with the teachings of Wycliffe and, convinced of their truth, he had himself begun to teach them in the university and preach them in the pulpit. it is not surprising that the full fury of the Roman Catholic Church was soon turned against him. When general reform, especially of clerical corruption, was preached, even many Roman Catholics supported the reform movement. But when Hus and others began to preach doctrinal reform as well as moral reform, Rome turned in a rage against the reformers, and especially against Hus.
 
It seems as if from the time Hus began preaching, Hus was under suspicion. A curious document turned up near the end of Hus' life which was a collection of quotes from Hus' preaching and teaching, taken secretly and obviously with the intent of using them to charge Hus with heresy. But the more Hus emphasized that at the root of Rome's evils lay doctrinal error, the more Hus lost the support of the church, of the politicians, and of most of those in authority. It was the students Hus taught in school and the common people who loved his preaching, who continued to support him.
 
Opposition
 
As the opposition to Hus grew, pressure of many kinds was put on him. First 45 statements, purported to be Hus' teachings, were condemned. Then preaching was forbidden in all the chapels. Then, when Hus refused to stop preaching, he was excommunicated by the archbishop. Soon he was summoned to Rome for trial; but, knowing that he would never escape Rome alive, he refused to go and was excommunicated by the pope. Even this was not enough; Prague was put under the interdict so that no religious services could be performed in the entire city. Gradually the might of Rome was squeezing Hus into a corner.
 
In pity for the citizens of the city, and so that the interdict could be removed, Hus left and returned to the area of his hometown. But his new residence soon became a center for preaching in all the surrounding countryside and it gave him the quietness that he needed to write. Perhaps this move did not lessen his effectiveness, but was God's means of spreading Hus' teaching beyond the confines of Prague.
 
At any rate, Rome could tolerate Hus no longer. He was summoned to the Council of Constance in 1414, a council meeting called to settle the papal schism. Three popes were all claiming to be the legitimate pope, and the outrageous situation was making a mockery of the claims of the church.


The Martyrdom of John Hus
 
Trial and Martyrdom
 
The Emperor Sigismund promised Hus a safe-conduct both to and from Constance regardless of the outcome of Hus' trial. And it was for this reason that Hus determined to go, although he was not at all certain that he would emerge from the trial alive. He told his friends, however, that a faithful testimony to his Lord and Savior required that he go.
 
Hus would have been safe in his hometown. He testified to this in Constance before his accusers when he told them: "I have stated that I came here of my own free will. If I had been unwilling to come, neither that king (Wenzel) nor this king (Sigismund) would have been able to force me to come, so numerous and so powerful are the Bohemian nobles who love me, and within whose castles I should have been able to lie concealed."
For one month, while in Constance, Hus was permitted to move about freely, even administering the Lord's Supper daily in his lodgings, the home of a widow whom he called his "widow of Zarephath." But Rome's godless and treacherous clerics could not permit Hus to remain free, and so he was imprisoned on the trumped-up charge that he had attempted to escape the city in a wagon.
 
Three months he was in a dungeon in a Dominican convent with a cell alongside the latrines. On March 24, 1414, he was chained and transferred to a castle dungeon at Gottelieven, where he was handcuffed and bound to a wall at night, while free to walk around in chains during the day. After 73 days, he was transferred to a Franciscan friary where he was subjected to cruel and heartless hearings in efforts to make him recant. Through all his imprisonment he was permitted no books, not even his Bible. He was nearly starved to death at times, and throughout he was so cruelly treated that he suffered from hemorrhage, headaches, vomiting, and fainting spells.
 
When finally he was brought before the council, he was permitted to say nothing, although repeatedly he made an effort to give the testimony to his faith he longed to give. God did not will that his testimony would be that of a confession of his mouth; his testimony was to be the far more powerful testimony of martyrdom.
 
The trial was a joke, a violation of every rule of justice, a farce of the worst sort. But during its proceedings, Hus was repeatedly made the object of mockery, derision, humiliating treatment of the worst sort, and a cruel deposition when he was stripped of all his clerical clothing and publicly defrocked.


 
Finally he was sentenced to burning at the stake, and the council, afraid of spilling the blood of a man, turned him over to the secular authorities to carry out the sentence.
One interesting sidelight gives a glimpse into the magnificent wisdom of God. When Hus was sentenced to death, he appealed to the Emperor Sigismund, who was present, to rescue him, reminding Sigismund of his promise of a safe-conduct. While Sigismund did not have the courage to keep his promise, he did have the grace to blush a fiery red at Hus' rebuke. All this would not mean so much in itself. But just over 100 years later, Luther went to Worms under the safe conduct of Charles V, emperor of Germany, and made his courageous stand for Scripture. Then too the Roman Catholic Church wanted Luther killed, but Charles insisted that the safe conduct be enforced. When Charles was later asked why he permitted the dastardly heretic, Luther, to escape, Charles replied that he remembered all too well the blush of shame on the face of Sigismund, when Sigismund treacherously went back on Hus' safe conduct. God used the blush of a shamed king to save Luther's life.
 
Several times on the way to the place of execution, Hus attempted to speak to the people, but was in every case silenced. Finally, when the crowd arrived at the stake, Hus, with tears in his eyes, kneeled in prayer. It was noon. Hus' hands were tied behind him and his neck bound to the stake with a sooty chain. The straw and wood were piled around him up to the chin and rosin was sprinkled on the wood. When he was asked to recant one last time, his response was: "I shall die with joy to-day in the faith of the Gospel which I have preached." As the flames arose around him, he sang twice: "Christ, thou Son of the living God, have mercy upon me." Praying and singing until the smoke began to choke him, he died a faithful martyr of Jesus Christ. To remove all possible opportunities for his relics to be preserved, his clothing were thrown into the fire and all the ashes were gathered and thrown into the Rhine River.
So died this faithful man of God sealing his testimony with his blood.
 
Importance
 
Hus was a godly man throughout his reformatory career, and he won the grudging praise of his enemies. A Jesuit testified: "John Hus was even more remarkable for his acuteness than his eloquence; but the modesty and severity of his conduct, his austere and irreproachable life, his pale and melancholy features, his gentleness and affability to all, even the most humble, persuaded more than the greatest eloquence." Another Roman Catholic, later a pope, wrote: "He was a powerful speaker, and distinguished for the reputation of a life of remarkable purity."
 
Hus was not the original thinker that Wycliffe was, and indeed borrowed most of this thoughts from Wycliffe -- especially Wycliffe's views of the church as the elect body of Christ and the sole authority of Scripture. But Hus became what Wycliffe never was, a powerful preacher of the gospel. By preaching he moved a nation. And by preaching he established a church in Bohemia which Rome could never destroy, but which joined the Reformation just over 100 years later.
 
Rome has the blood of countless people of God on her hands. She has never expressed one word of sorrow or regret for this. The blood of the martyrs still cries from under the altar against Rome: "How long, O Lord, holy and true, wilt thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?"
 
But to Hus, along with the other martyrs of Christ, was given a white robe and the testimony that they should rest a little while until their brethren should be killed as they were.

Scientists: UN Soldiers Brought Deadly Superbug to Americas



Compelling new scientific evidence suggests United Nations peacekeepers have carried a virulent strain of cholera -- a super bug -- into the Western Hemisphere for the first time.

The vicious form of cholera has already killed 7,000 people in Haiti, where it surfaced in a remote village in October 2010. Leading researchers from Harvard Medical School and elsewhere told ABC News that, despite UN denials, there is now a mountain of evidence suggesting the strain originated in Nepal, and was carried to Haiti by Nepalese soldiers who came to Haiti to serve as UN peacekeepers after the earthquake that ravaged the country on Jan. 12, 2010 -- two years ago today. Haiti had never seen a case of cholera until the arrival of the peacekeepers, who allegedly failed to maintain sanitary conditions at their base.

"What scares me is that the strain from South Asia has been recognized as more virulent, more capable of causing severe disease, and more transmissible," said John Mekalanos, who chairs the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics at Harvard Medical School. "These strains are nasty. So far there has been no secondary outbreak. But Haiti now represents a foothold for a particularly dangerous variety of this deadly disease."

More than 500,000 Haitians have been infected, and Mekalanos said a handful of victims who contracted cholera in Haiti have now turned up in Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, and in Boston, Miami and New York, but only in isolated cases.


How cholera landed in Haiti has been a politically charged topic for more than a year now, with the United Nations repeatedly refusing to acknowledge any role in the outbreak despite mounting evidence that international peacekeepers were the most likely culprits. The UN has already faced hostility from Haitians who believe peacekeeping troops have abused local residents without consequence. They now face legal action from relatives of victims who have petitioned the UN for restitution. And the cholera charge could further hamper the UN's ability to work effectively there, two years after the country was hobbled by the earthquake.

Over the summer, Assistant Secretary General Anthony Banbury told ABC News that the UN sincerely wanted to know if it played a part in the outbreak, but independent efforts to answer that question had not succeeded. He said the disease could have just as easily been carried by a backpacker or civilian aid worker.

Banbury said the UN, through both its peacekeeping mission and its civilian organizations "are working very hard ... to combat the spread of the disease and bring assistance to the people. And that's what's important now."

"The scientists say it can't be determined for certainty where it came from," Banbury said. "So we don't know if it was the U.N. troops or not. That's the bottom line."
A UN spokeswoman repeated the answer when asked again last week: "The [scientists] determined it was not possible to be conclusive about how cholera was introduced into Haiti," said the UN's Anayansi Lopez.


Scientists Trace Cholera Superbug to UN Peacekeepers

But ABC News has interviewed several top scientists involved in researching the origins of the cholera outbreak, and each expressed little doubt that the UN troop was responsible. The reason: A genetic analysis of the strain found in Haiti matches identically the one involved in an outbreak in Nepal in August and September of 2010; The Nepalese peacekeeping troops deployed for Haiti at precisely that time; Two weeks before the outbreak, Haitians had reported sanitary breakdowns at the Nepalese encampment set along a tributary to the Artibonite River, about 60 miles north of the capital Port Au Prince. The next month, the earliest cases of cholera surfaced in the same remote area, from Haitians who had been drinking and bathing in the river.
"The scientific debate on the origin of cholera in Haiti existed, but it has been resolved by the accumulation of evidence that unfortunately leave no doubt about the implication of the Nepalese contingent of the UN peacekeeping mission in Haiti," said French epidemiologist Renaud Piarroux, who conducted research on the outbreak for the Centers for Disease Control.

Mekalanos agreed, saying the single strongest piece of evidence came from the genetic analysis of the strain, which he said was virtually identical to strains that caused cholera in Nepal around the time that the troops shipped out. Taken in concert with sanitation problems at the Nepalese base, which was located near the epicenter of the outbreak, he said "almost any other explanation I can think of is well behind in confidence to the likelihood that that strain was introduced by UN troops," he said.


"It's outrageous for the UN to try to deny responsibility for bringing cholera to Haiti," said Mark Weisbrot, co-director of the Washington-based Center for Economic and Policy Research, whose group has been monitoring relief efforts in Haiti. "Was it gross negligence on their part? This is one of the questions they won't have to answer if they can sweep this whole thing under the rug."

Experts said understanding the origin of the outbreak is important. Louise C. Ivers, an infectious disease specialist and professor of global health and social medicine at Harvard Medical School, published a paper this week that traced spread of cholera back to the first victim, a mentally ill man who ingested contaminated river water. She witnessed firsthand the destruction it caused as hundreds of villagers started dying from an unfamiliar malady.

"It was overwhelming," she said. "There were no reported cases in Haiti before 2010, ever. Really people had no idea what was happening. To hear the fear and the suspicions and the lack of understanding about how this was happening is very, very sad. The outbreak put a huge stress on what was already a very fragile health system. I'm afraid it will be a problem for the foreseeable future."

She said what has made Haiti so vulnerable was a lack of latrines and clean potable water. She said there have been small outbreaks in the Dominican Republic, but nothing on the scale of what hit Haiti because conditions are more modern and sanitary.
