Resurrection

He was ready to live again
Even if living just meant running
To keep ahead of the ghosts.

The women a/k/a Amazonian Guards charged with keeping Muammar Qaddafi in one piece
By Jack Brummet, Social Mores Editor
I have always thought that Muammar Qaddafi is one of the most interesting world leaders. Not the sanest, friendliest, or most stable, but most interesting. His choice of bodyguards is just another fascinating aspect of his strange and kaleidoscopic personality. This is not news--it's been written about before, but with Libya in the front of the news these days, why not take another look and dig up some photos?
In some ways, this cadre of female bodyguards reminds me a little of Kill Bill.
The guards are trained in martial arts, trained to kill, and to die for Qaddafi if it comes to that. As I mentioned, it has come to that. And it could come to that very soon again if things disintegrate at the pace they've been in Libya. Some reports say that many of these women are of Cuban decent (due to Castro's friendship with Qaddafi) as well as Libyans.

Gaddafi/Khaddafi/Qaddafi's "Amazonian Guard" is a 40-300 member bodyguard (depending on your sources) charged with keeping the strange dictator in one piece. The Guard, is composed entirely of women. Most reports say that to qualify as a member of the guard, the women must be virgins. They are each hand picked by Qaddafi. They've done their job, including laying down their lives when he was attacked in the late 1990's.

Alien Lore No. 195 - The Krill Papers & the tenth planet, or some other armada
By Jack Brummet
Paranormal Editor
The Krill Papers are either a fascinating collection of confabulations, pretzel logic, and pure conspiracy hokum, or a shocking expose of a government that sold us down the tubes to invaders. The Krill Papers were purportedly dictated by an alien hostage left with our government when his spacecraft landed at Holloman Air Force Base in the 1960's. The Krill Papers were released by William Cooper and have been the subject of much heated debate in the UFO community. You can read them here.

- Craft from other worlds have crashed on Earth.
- Alien craft are from both ultra-dimensional sources and sources within this dimension.
- Early U.S. government efforts at acquiring alien technology were successful.
- The U.S. government has had live alien hostages at some point in time.
- The government has conducted autopsies on alien cadavers.
- U.S. intelligence agencies, security agencies, and public agencies are involved in the cover up of facts pertaining to the situation.
- People have been and are currently abducted, mutilated, murdered and kidnapped as a result of the UFO situation.
- There is a current active alien presence on this planet among us that controls difference elements of our society.
- Alien forces maintain bases on Earth and on the Moon.
- The U.S. government has had a working relationship with alien forces for some time, with the express purpose of gaining technology in gravitational propulsion, beam weaponry and mind control.
- Millions of cattle have been killed in the process of acquiring biological materials.
- Both aliens and the U.S. government are responsible for mutilations, but for different reasons.
- We live in a multi-dimensional world that is overlapped and visited by entities from other dimensions. Many of these entities are hostile. Many are not hostile.
- The basis of our genetic development and religions lies in intervention by non-terrestrial and terrestrial forces.
- Actual technology far exceeds that perceived by the public.
- The United States space program is a cover operation that exists for public relations purposes. - People are being actively killed in order to suppress the facts about the situation. The CIA and the NSA are involved so deeply that exposure would cause collapse of their overt structure.
- Facts indicate alien overt presence within five to ten years.
- Our civilization is one of many that have existed in the last billion years.

Alien Lore No. 194 - The first UFO visit, and the first UFO crash 114 years ago?
By Jack Brummet, Paranormal and Alien Lore Editor
This incident is often considered to be the first documented sighting of a UFO, although generally UFOlogists skip ahead to the Kenneth Arnold UFO sighting near Mount Rainier half a century later. . .
In 1897 a cigar shaped object--they weren't known as "flying saucers" until 1947--was reported by numerous Americans as it traveled from San Francisco to Chicago. Hundreds of people lined Lake Michigan in wait for it's appearance. Earlier that same year, newspapers reported that a spacecraft crashed into a Judge J.F. Proctor's windmill and then exploded. They found the body of a tiny pilot, described as "not of this world." A journal found in the space vehicle contained writing in an unknown language. Sweetly, the townspeople arranged for the burial of the tiny pilot.
In 1973, a Dallas Times Herald reporter, Bill Case, digging around the crash site found a number of metal fragments. He brought the shards to Dr. Tom Gray, a North Texas University physicist, who said at least some of the strange pieces of metal could not be identified.
The reporter compared metal detector readings from the crash site to those at the grave of the space pilot. The unusual signals were identical. This first "documented" UFO crash is still a mystery.
Curiously, around the same time, Marie Harris, in Garland, Texas, found a strange thing growing in her backyard that was "as big as a platter, foamy and creamy, and pale yellow" and "pulsated like a beating heart." When Mrs. Harris chopped on it, its "blood" was a red and purple goo. A biologist from the University of Texas called it a fungus. Finally, sunlight seemed to kill it.

Bobby Kennedy's shining speech the night Martin Luther King was assassinated: video and transcript
By Jack Brummet,
(research by Pablo Fanque, National Affairs Editor)
One of the great moments in American political history (see video, below) occurred the night Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated.
Bobby Kennedy arrived in Indianapolis to speak at an RFK for President campaign rally, three weeks after jumping into the race (and only a few days after President Johnson saw which way the wind was blowing and dropped out). When RFK stepped off the airplane, he was told about King's death.
Instead of giving his usual inspiring stemwinder speech, he had to break the news of MLK's death to a large and potentially angry African-American audience. The Indianapolis cops pressured Kennedy to ditch an appearance in what they considered to be a dangerous ghetto about to erupt. But Kennedy, God bless him, insisted on going on. The crowd was pumped to see the rising firebrand political star, and a brother of a President they all loved. They were enthusiastically waving RFK campaign signs. Just before Kennedy stepped up on stage, he asked his hosts if the crowd knew of the assassination. They did not.
RFK made what has to be one of the greatest extemporaneous/impromptu speeches in American history. Below is a good video clip of the speech (with Italian subtitles... of course) and a transcript. According to a Wikipedia article on RFK's campaign: "Riots broke out in 60 cities in the wake of King's death, but not in Indianapolis, a fact many attribute to the effect of this speech."
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I'm only going to talk to you just for a minute or so this evening, because I have some -- some very sad news for all of you -- Could you lower those signs, please? -- I have some very sad news for all of you, and, I think, sad news for all of our fellow citizens, and people who love peace all over the world; and that is that Martin Luther King was shot and was killed tonight in Memphis, Tennessee.
Martin Luther King dedicated his life to love and to justice between fellow human beings. He died in the cause of that effort. In this difficult day, in this difficult time for the United States, it's perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in. For those of you who are black -- considering the evidence evidently is that there were white people who were responsible -- you can be filled with bitterness, and with hatred, and a desire for revenge.
We can move in that direction as a country, in greater polarization -- black people amongst blacks, and white amongst whites, filled with hatred toward one another. Or we can make an effort, as Martin Luther King did, to understand, and to comprehend, and replace that violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land, with an effort to understand, compassion, and love.
For those of you who are black and are tempted to fill with -- be filled with hatred and mistrust of the injustice of such an act, against all white people, I would only say that I can also feel in my own heart the same kind of feeling. I had a member of my family killed, but he was killed by a white man.
But we have to make an effort in the United States. We have to make an effort to understand, to get beyond, or go beyond these rather difficult times.
My favorite poem, my -- my favorite poet was Aeschylus. And he once wrote:
Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget
falls drop by drop upon the heart,
until, in our own despair,
against our will,
comes wisdom
through the awful grace of God.
What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness, but is love, and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or whether they be black.
So I ask you tonight to return home, to say a prayer for the family of Martin Luther King -- yeah, it's true -- but more importantly to say a prayer for our own country, which all of us love -- a prayer for understanding and that compassion of which I spoke.
We can do well in this country. We will have difficult times. We've had difficult times in the past, but we -- and we will have difficult times in the future. It is not the end of violence; it is not the end of lawlessness; and it's not the end of disorder.
But the vast majority of white people and the vast majority of black people in this country want to live together, want to improve the quality of our life, and want justice for all human beings that abide in our land.
And let's dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world. Let us dedicate ourselves to that, and say a prayer for our country and for our people.
Thank you very much.
