2012, Climate Change and Permaculture

2012, is it really the end of the world? Are the tectonic plates going to tilt, like in the movie, and dump us off? Will the earth crack open and the seas split?
Unlikely. You can breathe a qualified sigh of relief. Mayan shamans and scholars tell us that the close of this great cycle of the Mayan calendar is not the cue for apocalypse but rather a new beginning, another turn of the wheel.
And yet...and yet. We've seen the skyline of New York go dark. We've had a year of record droughts, heat waves, floods, crowning a streak of disastrous years, quakes, tsunamis, leaking reactors. Perhaps we are facing a different kind of end, brought about by our own actions as the earth heats up from climate change. Hurricane Sandy may have cracked through our collective denial, but as new climate talks begin in Doha, no one holds out much hope for their success. The Kyoto accords are set to expire. Scientists are now predicting a disastrous 4 degree temperature rise, which will indeed mean the end of civilization as we know it, if not of human life on earth.
The world won't end on December 21, but nonetheless this time we live in is a crucial turning point. What can we do?
The underlying imagery of the Popol Vuh, the great Mayan creation story, points us in a direction. For my understanding of this story, I'm indebted to my husband, David Miller.
We spent our honeymoon twenty years ago at Tikal, and he became fascinated with the Mayans, their mythology and particularly their sacred ball games. For the last two decades he's been reading, researching and writing, and telling me tales! You can read his account for yourself in his book, The Cosmic Ballgame, What 2012 and Mayan Creation Mean for Us.
To make a complex story simple, the Popol Vuh recounts an earlier deep shift, from a society rooted in the female mysteries of menstrual blood and birth to a warrior society rooted in sacrificial blood and male control. This plays out in the supplanting of the primal twins, the singing garden boys, by the ballgame warrior twins, Humahpuh and Xbalanque,
"The ‘boys' usurped the magic of Blood Moon, built their sacrificial blood ball game around that magic, and framed the blood rituals around Grandmother's sacred count of days. All this was done to support kingship...Our competitive ballgame culture is a spiritual child of the Mayan warrior ballgame culture." (David Miller. The Cosmic Ballgame, p. 72)
The ending of this cycle calls us to change. Or as David puts it, " In ballgame parlance, we need to make several half-time adjustments. The present strategy, with its roots in a past almost too distant to comprehend, is not working for us. We need to huddle up...Let us dance a ballgame dance where the singing garden boys and the ballgame warrior boys accommodate rather than confront. Where the song is sung and the war is sidestepped." (Miller, P 79)
What would Grandmother tell us about climate change? She'd send us out to the garden. For if we are to find a way out of our dilemma, we'll have to get down and dirty and intimate with the earth.
There are no lack of solutions to climate change, from conservation and renewables to alternative forms of energy. Some are obvious, like solar and wind power. Others are dubious and dangerous, like vast geo-engineering schemes that are unproven and might have disastrous consequences. Yet it's not that we lack the technology or the knowledge we need. We lack the will. To muster the energy to counter the entrenched interests that want to preserve the status quo, we need a deeper change, a shift in our way of thinking and perceiving the world.
The dominant culture sees the world as a bunch of stuff, separate, isolated objects. Advertisers tell us that happiness lies in acquiring more and more of this stuff, and a capitalist economics demands constant growth. We are constantly embroiled in that great, competitive ballgame, and the goal is winning.
The shift we need to make is to see the world not as a bunch of separate things but as a web of relationships. We are part of an interwoven whole, and our goal is not to win, but to connect, to nurture, to play, to dance.
Science has been coming to this worldview since the physicists of the twentieth century probed so the heart of the atom and stuff dissolved into probabilities, relativity, strings vibrating in cosmic harmonies. Systems theory, ecology, family constellations therapies and a dozen other disciplines embody this shift. And indigenous cultures have always taught this wisdom. We are not alone. We are parts of whole, interdependent, interconnected. True abundance, true happiness, is found in relationship.
When we seek to apply this understanding, one set of guidelines can be found in the system of ecological design called ‘permaculture'. Designer and writer Patrick Whitefield defines permaculture as "The art of designing beneficial relationships." Permaculture is not a single solution nor even a set of techniques, but rather an approach that shows us how the solutions work together to create a synergy that is more than its parts. It's rooted in ethics, principles and patterns derived from observation of how nature works.
Australians Bill Mollison and David Holmgren coined the term and developed the curriculum back in the ‘70s; Permaculture is now a global movement, with thousands of teachers, practitioners and designers and more on-the-ground projects than the UN. Permaculturalists helped Cuba transition to organic food production when the Soviet Union collapsed and it lost the bulk of its fuel supplies. They have greened the desert in Jordan and reforested thousands of acres of the Sahel, restored the desiccated loess plateau in China and pioneered rooftop gardens in the Bronx. Permiculture offers us the key to regeneration.
I came to permaculture after many years of practicing, teaching and writing about the ancient, pre-Christian Goddess religions of Europe and the Middle East, for whom nature is sacred. I first heard about permaculture from a friend back in the ‘80s, and it seemed to me to be the practical application of earth reverence.
In the mid-90s, I met Penny Livingston-Stark, a skilled permacultture designer and teacher from Pt. Reyes, California. I took a course with her, and we became good friends.
In 1999, both of us participated in the Seattle blockade against the World Trade Organization. Suddenly I was immersed in a community of mostly young activists who were on fire with the desire to change the world-but often, a bit unclear on what they wanted to change it into. I also knew dozens of amazing permaculturalists, natural builders, organic gardeners and inventors with fantastic, creative, beautiful solutions to our environmental problems. But the current systems of power were barriers to putting those solutions in place.
Penny and I got together and talked about how we could bring the activists and the permies together. We created Earth Activist Trainings, to teach permaculture design with a focus on organizing and a grounding in spirit. We taught our first course in 2000, and thirteen years later we have now graduated close to a students who've done amazing projects, from planting fruit trees in inner city schools to transforming intersections into gathering places to training women farmers in the West Bank. (And our next course is coming right up in northern California January 6-20. http://www.earthactivisttraining.org/).
Permaculture's approach to climate change let's us avoid short-sighted errors and find true solutions, because it is rooted in three core ethics: care for the earth, care for the people, and care for the future. The three ethics work together. We cannot truly care for the earth unless we take into account the people and the long term impact of our interventions. Ecological solutions that ignore issues of justice are doomed to fail. And we cannot care for the people if we don't take into account the life-support systems of the earth that sustain us all. Social and economic justice movements that ignore the environmental constraints and ecological realities cannot truly improve peoples' lives. To care for the future, we must share the surplus we create and limit our consumption.
When we bring people care and earth care together with an eye to future generations, we create a synergy that has immense power for healing and regeneration
Climate change can be seen as a symptom of myriad dysfunctional relationships. Our technology, our energy systems, economic systems and food growing systems, our whole way of life are in warped relationship to the greater realities around us.
To avoid ultimate climate catastrophe, we must heal some core relationships, with place, with food and soil, with community. When we do, we can wean ourselves off stuff as a filler for the emptiness within, step out of the competitive ballpark and into the singing garden.
The 21st century world is an uprooted one, in which we are encouraged to jet around and keep in motion. And our stuff moves around, too -- our clothing is made in Pakistan, our electronics in China, our other goods wherever corporations can find the cheapest labor and the most lax safety and environmental restrictions. All this motion takes energy. It also undermines workers, unions, fair wage laws and environmental responsibility.
To heal, we need to sink roots, go local, learn our flora and fauna and history. We can bring our businesses and our enterprises home and demand that they become accountable again to real communities. Our food systems also need roots. Today, the average piece of food travels 1500 miles before it gets to your mouth, using fossil fuel energy to transport it. To heal our bodies, we need healthy food grown in living soil, eaten fresh with all its vitality intact. To heal our world, we need healthy, living food systems, local food security, local markets and local farmers and ranchers committed to regenerative practices.
We can all play a part in creating these systems. Maybe few of us will take up farming, but we all make choices about what food to buy, how to support our local farms, what policies to advocate for and what legislation to demand.

San Francisco, as an example, recently revised its ordinances to make urban farming easier and to open up the possibility of selling and marketing city-grown food. We can demand a farm bill that ends subsidies for destructive practices and helps support farmers to make the transition to organic, low-till, soil-building practices.
To grow healthy food, we must repair our relationship to soil. Industrial agriculture sees soil as a dead medium through which chemicals can circulate to produce food -- but that food is often devoid of vitality and low in nutrients. Organic gardeners and farmers know that soil is alive, an ecosystem full of complex relationships between bacteria, fungi, protists, nematodes, worms, beetles, and thousand of other critters. When we compost, a liability becomes an asset. One of the key permaculture principles is to close loops -- to look for places where a waste stream can become a resource.
And, here's what you need to know when they start talking carbon sequestration and geo-engineering: There is one safe, proven, tried and true way to sequester carbon, with no potential down side. That's by building rich, healthy soil, for healthy soil is full of humus, and humus is a big, fat molecule high in carbon that helps hold minerals, water and nutrients in soil and makes them available to plants. The more we compost, or employ other soil-building techniques -- mulching, rotational grazing, keyline plowing, reforestation, and many more--the more we take carbon out of the atmosphere and deposit it in the soil, where it can remain stable for decades.
Fungi are also powerful soil-builders, and the work of mycologist Paul Stamets has shown us that fungi can break down toxins, remediate damaged ground, and store immense amounts of carbon while aiding plant growth. Trees, especially, depend on their fungal relationships to acquire water and nutrients. Trees in a forest are linked by networks of fungal mycelium, and can feed their own young or share nutrients with trees growing in the shade.
If we can employ soil-building and reforestation strategies on a mass scale, we can potentially pull some of the excess carbon out of the atmosphere. Indeed, the world's soils have a huge carbon debt, as centuries of plow agriculture have exposed millions of acres to erosion and oxidation. Dr. Rattan Lol of the University of Ohio's Soil Carbon Institute maintains that there is as much excess carbon in the atmosphere from the dust bowl of the 1930s as from every automobile ever invented.
If we pay that debt, we can help restore the balance. And by building healthy soil, we also repair many other relationships. We establish a more effective water cycle, reducing droughts and floods. We reverse desertification and provide more nutrition for humans and animals.
Healthy soil can be the basis of healthy community. The key relationships we must repair our often our most personal ones. We cannot see other people, or groups of people, as expendable. We must come to understand that we are interdependent, and that to be human is to take responsibility not just for ourselves, but for one another.
Community can be challenging! It is far easier to love humanity in the abstract than to get along with the contrary, irritating folks who happen to be your friends, neighbors and family. But the more skilled we become at our interpersonal relationships, the more effective we'll be at all our other work. My own deep interest is in the newly developing area we've come to call ‘social permaculture'. What are the principles and the patterns we can apply to our organizations and relationships that can help us thrive? The Empowerment Manual, A Guide for Collaborative Groups, my most recent book, explores the principles and patterns that can help our groups and relationships thrive.
Repairing our relationships to place, to food, to soil and to community will give us solid ground to stand upon as we address the technological and larger political changes we so desperately need to make. We are gifted with enormous creativity, and the earth contains great reserves of resilience. If we make the commitment to healing and regeneration, 2012 may mark, not the end of the world, but the moment when we step out of a loser's ballgame into the garden of a new era of balance, abundance and vibrant life.

Ancient Visions of a 2012 Eclipse

Aaron Woolrich

[Note: Tropical dates given in this article are Gregorian unless otherwise noted.]

Get ready for a full solar eclipse coming to your planet on November 13, 2012. This will be the final full eclipse of the current 13-baktun cycle of the Mayan Long Count, and that is just the beginning. The significance of this event transcends even Mayan cosmology, in which, as we will see, it is deeply integrated, speaking to a unified planetary vision of natural cycles, harmonic mathemagics, and the opportunity for a radical cultural renewal.
Evidence for human interest in recording natural cycles goes back 35,000 years or more. The earliest known artifact to express a substantial mathematical awareness, with the potential to be used in a properly "calendrical" fashion, is The Ishango Bone. This baboon fibula was incised with 168 tally marks, and inset with a crystal, around 25,000 years ago in equatorial Africa, near the headwaters of the Nile river. The exact purpose of the Ishango Bone is debated among scholars, but the inscribed intervals suggest its usefulness in integrating a number of factors. The level of sophistication may be very advanced; its set of four consecutive prime numbers (11, 13, 17, 19) in particular, has generated a great deal of speculation. The notches are arranged into three columns, two of 60 marks, and one of 48. It has been suggested that the intervals of 60 each record a cycle of two lunar months, and the notch-lengths and spacing of all three columns may indicate the changing phases. Also, the number 168 is a perfect multiple of 28, a number sacred to the moon in many traditions around the world, including the indigenous Igbo of Africa.
It may also be significant that in addition to the 168 incisions, the bone's inset crystal is believed to have been used to make incisions itself. The creative potential of the crystal is then, in a sense, the bone's 169th element, introducing the sacred moon number thirteen (13 x 13 = 169). The numbers 168 and 169 are the only consecutive multiples of 28 and 13 smaller than their common product 364 (= 28 x 13). This "plus one" relationship of 168 to 169 also relates the product of 13 and 28 with the solar year:

28 x 6 + 1 = 13 x 13

13 x 28 + 1 = 365

These same mathematical phenomena are evident in advanced calendrical computations, many thousands of years later, and on the other side of the planet, in the few surviving hieroglyphic books of the Maya. The book known as the Paris Codex contains an almanac of years composed of thirteen 28-day intervals. Conspicuous in this almanac is the repeated presence of the number 168. These supposed "distance numbers" have been discussed at length by scholars, but remain an enigma, with no clear consensus emerging as to their purpose. Less remarked upon, but also significant, is the almanac's base day, which is 12 Lamat, the 168th day of the Mayan ritual calendar.

Out of the several hundred almanacs in the 3 principal Mayan codices, only one other utilizes 12 Lamat as its base [1]. This is the Eclipse Table of the Dresden Codex. This Eclipse Table demonstrates such accuracy and sophistication in its ability to predict eclipses that it is one of the most widely appreciated examples of intellectual achievement by the Maya, or any of the world's ancient cultures. According to the evidence of Michael Grofe's insightful, detailed analysis, as incredible as it may seem, the Maya who constructed this document were capable of predicting eclipses with an accuracy that stretches modern computer programs to their limits [2].

In addition to beginning with day 168 of the ritual calendar, the Eclipse Table also incorporates the "plus one" day 169. This is conceptualized in a simple fashion, by equating the base of the table, 12 Lamat, with zero, and thereby equating 13 Muluc -- kin 169 -- with day one. The significance of this kin is then emphasized on the page following the table, which associates 13 Muluc with a series of large astro-numerically significant intervals. The number 169 also plays a role in the introductory section of the Eclipse Table, in the form of a column of 13 consecutive 13s. This column relates to the 364-day almanac of the Paris Codex, probably as a method for integrating eclipses with a number of other celestial cycles over a period of 130 years [3].

Although the Maya offer us the most definitive, precise examples, these same patterns are found throughout the ancient world. One of history's most mathematically sophisticated calendrical traditions existed among the Essene Jewish community at Qumran during the final centuries of the BC era. The principal calendar of this community was of 364 days, which incorporated, to at least some degree, cycles of 13 and 28. Of paramount importance to this calendrical tradition was the cycle of priestly courses, which determined the rotation of responsibility for the administration of temple activities among the 24 priestly divisions of Israel. Each division succeeded in turn for a period of one week, defining a full 24-week cycle of precisely 168 days (= 24 x 7).

The ritual importance of the number 168 is also evident in 14th century England's chivalric Order of the Garter. Like King Arthur's legendary Knights of the Round Table, this order was organized by the number 13. Furthermore, the order's founder, King Edward III, is said to have worn a mantle embroidered with 168 garters, with one additional garter -- the 169th -- worn around his leg.

Thousands of years earlier, the neolithic culture of England had constructed megalithic monuments demonstrating an impressive astronomical awareness. The earliest stage of construction at Stonehenge included a circle of 56 stations (= 28 x 2), known today as the Aubrey holes. This circle is believed to have functioned as an eclipse calculator through integrating cycles of 13 and 28 days [4]. During this same period, another megalithic site known as Woodhenge was built just two miles to the west, composed of 168 distinct post holes.

More intriguing connections to these matters are found in the Egyptian legend of the death of Osiris. According to Plutarch's account of this legend, after an important interval of 28 years (being either his age or reign) Osiris met his destiny at the hands of his adversary Set (Typhon) on the 17th day of the month Athyr. As Plutarch further relates, Set is associated with eclipses and a polygon of 56 sides [5], suggestive of the Aubrey holes just mentioned. According to the calendars of Plutarch's time, the date of Set's "eclipse" of Osiris -- 17 Athyr -- corresponds to November 13. (This concerns the Alexandrian/Coptic calendar of Egypt and the Julian calendar of Rome. The correlation is within one day of November 13 by tropical Gregorian reckoning for 100 AD, approximate date of Plutarch's Moralia.)

Incredibly, November 13 also corresponds to both the first day of the Mayan Eclipse Table (in 755 AD), and to the full solar eclipse of 2012, the last such event of the Mayan calendar's famous 13th baktun. Just let that sink in for a moment.

Before going further, it is important to acknowledge some of the complex subtlety inherent in Mayan astronomy, as exemplified by the Eclipse Table. The Mayan Long Count date at the base of the Eclipse Table is 9.16.4.10.8. In the traditional correlation (which I fully accept), this actually corresponds to November 10, 755 AD, meaning day one of the table -- 13 Muluc -- would correspond to November 11. According to astronomical models, however, November 12-13 would more accurately synchronize to the new moon at this time. The main body of the table appears to address this discrepancy with the inclusion of "warning stations". The recorded intervals of the table identify individual days, but each interval is accompanied by three consecutive day-signs, which define a three-day range in which an eclipse might be expected. This three-day leeway, and the associated astronomy, has played a significant role in debates over the calendar correlation, with many scholars proposing a shift of two days (familiar through various references to either December 21 or 23 as the end of the 13th baktun), such that November 13, rather than November 11 would be day one of the Eclipse Table.

In my studies of Mayan timekeeping, I have come to realize that such discrepancies are typically deliberate (note that "warning stations" are exceedingly rare in Mayan almanacs), and, far from indicating any sort of imprecision, often act as windows into insights even more profound than the literal reading would suggest. Therefore, one might view the November 11 correlation as particularly relevant to the traditional count, and the November 13 discrepancy as a sort of initiatory mystery.

With this in mind, it is worth taking a look back at the year 2010. At this time the traditional Mayan day-count demonstrated the exact same relation to the tropical year as it did in 755 AD, the year of the Eclipse Table's base date. That is, November 11, 755 AD (Gregorian) and November 11, 2010, were both 13 Muluc in the traditional count. This type of synchronization with the tropical year has a probability of occurring once in 260 years. (A similar synchronization with the strictly 365-day haab occurs every 52 years.) Although an eclipse did not occur on either of these two dates, the year 2010 was notable for a full lunar eclipse that took place on the day of its southern solstice, exactly two years before the end of the 13th baktun.

This two-year interval highlights another famous discrepancy known as the Dreamspell. The Dreamspell is a modern interpretation of the Mesoamerican ritual calendar, which, while popular, has not been taken seriously by many scholars. Interestingly, however, during the final years of the 13th batkun, the discrepancy between the two counts is such that a day in the traditional count will be followed 2 years and 2 days later by its Dreamspell equivalent. Therefore, November 11, 2010 -- the traditional day 13 Muluc -- is followed 2 years and 2 days later by November 13, 2012, when the Dreamspell day 13 Muluc and the final full eclipse of the 13th baktun coincide.

The formulation of the Dreamspell did not arise out of a conscious effort to manifest this particularly remarkable synchronicity; it is based on a reading of patterns and discrepancies in the monuments of ancient Palenque and the colonial era books of Chilam Balam. To simplify, the main criteria places the baktun shift of 2012 in a year named 7 Cauac, signifying 'the time between incarnations', in conjunction with a discrepancy of 47 days. The canonical Solar New Year of the ancient Maya (as distinct from their 365-day haab) corresponds to July 26, which was observed throughout the Yucatan and the Chilam Balam tradition. The final such Solar New Year of the 13th baktun occurred on the traditional day 12 Eb, 47 days before 7 Cauac.

This New Year was determined by observing solar zenith (no shadow) at the latitude of Edzna, a pioneering Mayan astronomical center, where the courtyard of the main acropolis contains a gnomon for the purpose. Edzna shares this latitude, and a number of other characteristics, with the great city of Teotihuacan in central Mexico. Both cities are laid-out in a virtually identical manner with respect to horizonal astronomy, and both experienced early stages of construction at virtually the same time. This early stage corresponds roughly to the Long Count's transition from the 8th to 9th baktun, a date memorialized in the books of Chilam Balam as the beginning of the pyramid-building phase of Mayan civilization. This baktun shift of 41 AD occurred in a year in which the July 26 zenith at Edzna also coincided with the beginning of the 365-day haab of the Classic Maya, on the traditional day 7 Cauac -- an astoundingly uncommon convergence of factors. [6]

The coincidence of 7 Cauac with July 26 in the first year of this important era of Mayan history also entails the occurrence of 13 Muluc on November 13. Furthermore, the phases of the moon during this year also correspond to the Eclipse Table and 2012, placing the new moon within one day of Nov 12. In 41 AD, however, the eclipse did not occur with 12 Lamat / 13 Muluc, but one month earlier. This indicates a whole other level of synchronization, having to do with the 26,000-year cycle of stellar precession. In the 1971 years between 41 AD and 2012 the the fixed stars have shifted with respect to the tropical year by approximately 28 days, describing the arc of Earth's orbit over one lunar month. The stellar configuration of Earth's November skies today, corresponds to the configuration of October 2000 years ago. Therefore, according to a galactic frame of reference, the solar eclipses of the 41 AD and 2012 baktun shifts are nearly identical.

This phenomenon is intrinsically related to the human understanding of precession. The measurement of eclipses in relation to the fixed stars is one of the chief means by which Hipparchus was able to introduce the concept to Old World astronomy, and it has been suggested that a similar approach was taken by the Maya, with the Pleiades star cluster -- important throughout Mesoamerican cosmology -- as their point of reference [7]. The luni-stellar alignments of 41 AD and 2012 are such that both years witnessed eclipses with the sun, moon, and Pleiades all in alignment. (The eclipse of May 20, 2012 had its own set of remarkable circumstances, which I have explored elsewhere.) To appreciate this, on the evening of November 13, whether you are in a position to view the eclipse or not, notice that the Pleiades (that unmistakable glittering jewel) will be rising in the east just after the sun sets in the west. Reflect that you are witness to the same celestial patterns as the great moon sages, 5 baktuns past.

(Note that all 4 of these solar eclipses -- April 19, 41 AD, October 14, 41 AD, May 20, 2012, and November 13, 2012 -- are either total, annular, or hybrid, meaning, as opposed to partial eclipses, they all exhibit a perfect alignment between sun, moon, and Earth.)

This 5-baktun cycle is approximately equivalent to one thirteenth of a full precessional cycle of 26,000 years, which takes us back to the Ishango Bone origins. Recalling that this artifact was discovered at the headwaters of the Nile, it is interesting to consider that according to Egyptian cosmology "an intricate logic links the moon with the Nile through the number 28." [8]

We have seen one aspect of this "intricate logic" in the eclipse of Osiris by Set, and, through profound synchronicity, its connection to 2012 and the reckoning of the Maya. There is yet more. The Egyptian calendar of Plutarch's time -- the Alexandrian, or Coptic calendar -- is still maintained by traditional groups in Egypt to this day, as is a structurally identical calendar in Ethiopia. These calendars usually observe New Year's Day on September 11, as they did in 2012. Recalling that the Dreamspell discrepancies highlight an interval of 47 days related to July 26 and 7 Cauac, notice that the Coptic New Year of September 11 occurs exactly 47 days after July 26, and September 11, 2012 was 7 Cauac in the traditional Mayan calendar.

What is the agency behind these incredible synchronizations? Is it all just a case of apophenia, or does there exist some common thread of intention or attunement? I will leave it to the reader to decide, but can't suppress my amazement at the outlandish degree of correspondence. The numbers, the cycles, the timing; I hope I have done them some justice. There is currently a popular strain of scholarly backlash against myths of "peaceful stargazers" and the "noble savage", such that promoting the wisdom of indigenous traditions, or suggesting that ancient people attained levels of achievement that we cannot appreciate today, is liable to elicit accusations of naivety, prejudice, or even racism. It is not my intention to romanticize ancient or indigenous people, but there exists a potential for harm in this backlash; it can be invoked by those who really are prejudiced, who do have ulterior motives, who, for whatever reason, are threatened by the idea of ancient wisdom.

For 5 baktuns indigenous cultures have been under threat. For 5 centuries they have faced extinction. The shift of the 13-baktun cycle is not just another date on just another calendar. It marks a singular opportunity for people of good faith to recognize, and reflect on our collective connection to the ancient world and the cycles of nature. Far more than a simple tally of days, the Long Count represents a truly remarkable intellectual and spiritual legacy. And it's not over yet.

One cycle gives way to the next. The thirteenth baktun ends, Baktun Thirteen begins; and we ride the wave of a new 13-moon cycle. The November 13 eclipse occurs on the Dreamspell equivalent of 13 Muluc, interpreted "13 Moon". As anyone remotely familiar with the Dreamspell knows, the "13 Moon" calendar is its principal touchstone. This 13 Moon calendar is essentially the same as the 13 x 28 almanac of the Paris Codex, the chief difference being the day of the New Year.

The base of the Paris almanac is believed to correspond to that of the Eclipse Table, and marks the beginning of five 364-day years (364 x 5 = 260 x 7). Over these 5 years the 364-day cycle shifts with respect to the tropical year by 6 or 7 days, a discrepancy addressed by the almanac's green correction numbers. Within this 6 or 7-day interval is November 8, which is 260 days -- one cycle of the ritual calendar -- before July 26.

From the "13 Moon" full solar eclipse of November 13, 2012, if we add the 260-day discrepancy, and then apply the 5-year Paris almanac to the Dreamspell, we arrive at the first day of a 13 Moon year, beginning on the day "13 Moon". A full lunar eclipse occurs on the following day. Welcome to the New Time!

[4] Sir Fred Hoyle suggested a method of calculation involving 4 markers around the circle. Two of these markers, corresponding to the lunar nodes, would be moved on a yearly basis. Of the other two, one would be moved two holes every day, completing a full circuit in 28 days, while the other would be moved every 13 days. (Gregg, DP, The Stonehenge Codes: A New Light on Ancient Knowledge?, 2010: 212-213.)

[6] Although July 26, 41 AD was 7 Cauac, the first day of the Classic haab occurred 2 days earlier on July 24. This reflects different traditions of "year bearer" observation, which shifted over time. Edzna played a crucial role in recording these shifts, and according to the Chilam Balam tradition, the first day of the haab in 41 AD would indeed have fallen with 7 Cauac on July 26. Note the relation of the 2-day year-bearer shift to the 2-day "warning station" discrepancy of the Eclipse Table. My discussion of Edzna is based on the work of Vincent Malmstrom, and it should be noted that while invaluable, Malmstrom's chronological analysis is based exclusively on the non-traditional (GMT+2) correlation, and is not 100% consistent.

Mayans protest government sponsored apocalypse party and slam “doomsday myth”

The world will not end. It will be transformed. -- Mayan elders.

JG Vibes
Activist Post

For years the Mayans have been fighting against the doomsday myth surrounding the incorrect reading of their ancient calendar. As the date of December 21, 2012 approaches the hype has caused an increasing amount of distress for the indigenous Mayan people, especially with their homeland in Guatemala being turned into a cheap tourist attraction for the coming “apocalypse”.

Just this week, Guatemala’s Mayan people accused the government and state sponsored tour groups of perpetuating the myth that their calendar predicts the end of the world, so they can benefit financially from tourist revenue.

The Culture Ministry of Guatemala is hosting a massive event in Guatemala City, which as many as 90,000 people are expected to attend, all being promoted under the pretext of a “doomsday” celebration.

Felipe Gomez, leader of the Maya alliance Oxlaljuj Ajpop protested this week with other Mayans, urging the Tourism Institute to rethink the doomsday celebration, which he criticized as a “show” that was disrespectful to Mayan culture.

“We are speaking out against deceit, lies and twisting of the truth, and turning us into folklore-for-profit. They are not telling the truth about time cycles” Gomez told the AFP news agency.

In a statement released by Oxlaljuj Ajpop, the end of the mayan calendar simply means that “there will be big changes on the personal, family and community level, so that there is harmony and balance between mankind and nature.”

Last year, a Mayan elder named Carlos Barrios interviewed over 600 other senior Mayan elders to get the clearest possible understanding of the situation. In an online interview representing the Organization for Mayan and Indigenous Spiritual Studies, Carlos made the following statement:

“Anthropologists visit the temple sites and read the inscriptions and make up stories about the Maya, but they do not read the signs correctly. It’s just their imagination. Other people write about prophecy in the name of the Maya. They say that the world will end in December 2012. The Mayan elders are angry with this. The world will not end. It will be transformed. We are no longer in the World of the Fourth Sun, but we are not yet in the World of the Fifth Sun. This is the time in-between, the time of transition. As we pass through transition there is a colossal, global convergence of environmental destruction, social chaos, war, and ongoing Earth Changes. Humanity will continue, but in a different way. Material structures will change. From this we will have the opportunity to be more human.”

As the Mayans believe, and as many modern researchers also believe, the human species has already went through many different changes during their history on the planet earth. Those changes have many times been difficult, but have also been followed by rapid leaps in understanding, compassion and social advancement.

As I discussed in my book Alchemy of the Modern Renaissance “The doomsday theory is unlikely and overused by power hungry governments that wish to keep their populations in fear. As we have seen quite recently in the past decade in the United States, the establishment constantly uses fear to manipulate the minds of US citizens. This technique is not new either, it has been used for centuries whether it be the fear of economic collapse, natural disaster, the enemy, or the fear of god, fear has been used by the few to dominate the many for ages.

When the Spaniards were conquering the Mayan empire they learned through missionaries that 1698 was the end of the Mayan time cycle. So the Spanish waited until 1698 to invade and the Mayans took it as a sign and fled without resistance. One of the most celebrated of all doomsday predictions was made by astrologers who predicted a great flood that would end the world on February 20 1524 based on the conjunction of all the planets in the heavens mercury, Venus, Mars Jupiter and Saturn. We have also seen quite recently with the media hoax Y2K, which threatened us with a “cyber Armageddon” at the turn of the millennium. In both cases obviously, the world continued to turn. “

The end of the world has been predicted many times and has yet to come, the last time that this kind of hysteria swept the world was just over a decade ago, around the change of the millennium with the y2k scare. The world didn’t end last time, and it is not going to end next time. However, there may be some truth that we are on the verge of some sort of societal transition, looking around the world all of the signs are certainly there.

Oxlajuj Ajpop is holding events it considers sacred in five cities to mark the event and Gomez said the Culture Ministry would be wise to throw its support behind their real celebrations. However, there it is not likely that the government tourist agency and the ministry will change their course.

11 o'clock on the 3rd August 2012 .

Hi Tap, many thanks for Gordon's e-Mail , please thank him if you will. Numerology is a very DEEP SUBJECT, there are many who don't believe in it, but obviously Gordon thinks differently, about it, at 20.35 I would suggest it was synchronistic. don't you think? He might even come around to my views on Jesuits, many of whom are Crypto Jews. Whilst they are Physically Jews they must only be considered as Jesuits. The higher Strata will also be SMOMS, & ARE VERY POWERFUL PEOPLE.

I have been looking at the numbers relative to The 'ZION' Olympics, & have come up with the following, w/r/t Team Picture.

As G_L states there is a very powerful Illuminati Signature on this EVENT, There will be a lot of very Influential & Powerful People all gathered together in one place, analogous in many ways to The Titanic!

LOOK AT THE PICTURE CLOSELY & YOU WILL SEE IT IS COMPOSED OF INTERSECTING, overlapping triangles TRIANGLES, & THERE ARE 541 OF THEM.

5+4+1 = 10, THE GODS HEAD NUMBER. HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THIS. The Illuminati always place a High significance on Numerology, 3, 11, & 13, being their most important number August 03, gives 8+3 = 11, weather you believe it or not is insignificant, THEY DO & THEY ARE IN CONTROL.

THE MASTER NUMBERS ARE 11, 22, & 33 so consider :-

The All Seeing Eye looks in both directions it is, therefore, permissible to use a number more than once.

Hence 03/08/12 will give 3+8 = 11, 1+2 = 3, Then 3+8 = 11 THUS 11, 11.

so if EVENT OCURED at 11,00 ' O CLOCK :- THEN WE HAVE 11 - 11 - 11. or 3x11 = 33

MAJOR FINANCIAL CENTRES NORTH of 33° Parallel are LONDON, NEW YORK, CHICAGO.

"If a life is taken close to the northern 33rd Parallel, this fits with the Masons’ demonic mythology

in which they demonstrate their worldly power by spilling human blood at a predetermined locale."

ON OR NEAR THE 33 DEGREE NORTHERN PARALLEL

Chronology of Significant Events At The Northern 33rd Degree of Latitude -- Day Williams (Ibid.)

2589 - 2566 BC. The Great Pyramid was built in Egypt by masons at a location not far south of 30 degrees latitude, and on 31 degrees longitude. How the Great Pyramid was built is unknown. Herodotus estimated that it would have taken 30 years and 100,000 slaves to have built it.

1470 B.C. (?) Atlantis destroyed, according to occult legend. A continent was reputedly the size of Europe. It boasted gorgeous cities, advanced technology, utopian government, and an occult, spiritually enlightened, citizenry, as we discussed, above. It suffered a cataclysm and was reduced to rubble that sank beneath the sea, lost forever. The legend of Atlantis has been around for thousands of years, and whatever its factual validity may be, it does claim a noble heritage, for its earliest known proponent was Plato.

1704-1662 B.C. The Babylonian empire was based in Babylon, very near the 33rd Parallel. The empire stretched from the Persian Gulf to the middle Euphrates River and upper Tigris River regions.

1025 - 945 B.C. Tyre, Lebanon: Home of King Hiram and the mythological Hiram Abiff, the Terrible Twosome of Masonic legend. Tyre is less than 20 miles north of the 33rd Parallel. Hiram was the King of Tyre in the reigns of David and Solomon.

875-848 B.C. The Biblical Mount Carmel is south of the modern city of Haifa and west of the Sea of Galilee in Israel. Mount Carmel is less than 20 miles south of the 33rd Parallel. At Carmel Elijah the Hebrew prophet stood against 850 heathen prophets and defeated them (1 Kings 18).

605-562 B.C. Babylon was the predominant city in the ancient world during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar II. Babylon is very near the 33rd Parallel, as we reveal above; but, the current city of Baghdad is located right on the 33rd Degree Parallel. Keep this fact in mind for later in this article.

1756 Charleston, South Carolina, the original site of Scottish Rite Masonry in the United States, is only 15 miles south of the 33rd Parallel

1861 On April 12, Confederate forces fired on the Union’s Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, igniting the Civil War. Charleston, at the 33rd Parallel, is known officially as “the Mother Lodge of the World.” This Lodge had been founded by Moses Lindo as the King Solomon Lodge. Thus, the Civil War was started at the 33rd Parallel, a very Masonic thing to do!

On April 12, 1945, President Franklin D. Roosevelt met his “sudden death” of a cerebral hemorrhage at the 33rd Parallel at Warm Springs, Georgia. His last words were, “I have a terrific headache.” His medical chart is reportedly missing. Roosevelt was replaced by 33rd Degree Mason, Harry S. Truman. Weeks later, the nuclear bomb was dropped on the 33rd Degree Parallel, at Nagasaki, Japan!

1946 On August 19, 1946, Bill Clinton, the 42nd President, was born in Hope, Arkansas, at the 33rd Parallel. His parentage is disputed. As a young man, Bill Clinton was a Master Counselor of the Masonic-connected Demolay. (“Demolay” derives from the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, James deMolay (1244-1314)).

1947 On July 8, 1947 a UFO and aliens’ bodies were allegedly found in the desert outside Roswell, New Mexico at the 33rd Parallel

1963: The Kennedy Assassination -- President John F. Kennedy Sr. was shot and killed in Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas near the 33rd Parallel on 11/22/63 (11 + 22 = 33). Dealey Plaza is the site of the first Masonic temple in Dallas, and a Masonic obelisk. Thus, we see the following numbers in the JFK assassination:

Number 11 -- November

Number 22 -- The day of the month

Number 33 -- Addition of '11' and '22'

Number 33 -- Dealy Plaza is located on the 33rd Parallel

1968 On June 5, 1968, shortly after winning the California primary election, United States' Senator, Robert F. Kennedy, was killed at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California, close to the 33rd Parallel and near a Masonic Lodge. Like the assassination of JFK, this assassination contains the same occult "Master Numbers" -- 11, 22, 33.

Number 11 -- RFK was shot on June 5. June is the 6th month; when added to the 5th day, you get an '11'

Number 22 -- RFK was shot by a .22 caliber pistol

Number 33 --Addition of '11' and '22'

Number 33 -- Los Angeles is very near the 33rd Parallel

[Note: This information taken from RFK assassination site, http//:homepages.tcp.co.uk/~dlewis/crime.htm]

1990-1991 Gulf Storm I occurred. Both Baghdad and the U.N. "No Fly Zone" is located at the 33rd Degree Parallel. Who chose this parallel to be the exact demarcation line as to be the line which marked the line beyond which Iraqi airmen cannot fly?

1993 Waco, Texas, just south of the 32nd degree of north latitude, is the site of the Masonic Grand Lodge of Texas. On April 19, 1993 the Clinton Administration murdered adults and children in the Branch Davidian group at Mount Carmel, a compound about 10 miles from the city of Waco

Phoenix, Arizona, is on the 33rd Degree Parallel. Tremendous paranormal activity is occurring in Phoenix, and has been since the 1947 Roswell Alien/UFO incident allegedly occurred.

2003 -- Super Bowl was held at San Diego, which is right on the 33rd Degree Parallel.

Nagasaki, Japan is on the 33rd Parallel. Hiroshima is 100 miles away. Historians have always been perplexed as to why the U.S. chose Nagasaki to hit with a nuclear bomb, since no meaningful military or political targets existed in this city. However, you can see how 33rd Degree Mason, President Truman, might have made the decision to attack Nagasaki, located on the 33rd Parallel.

Many years ago had a conversation with someone who had to move from the prosed Olympics Site, I will send information on this later.

REGARDS ............... WASP

TAP - I am sure you can look at numbers retrospectively as they connect to false flag terror, the moment they ended WW1 and so on. But trying to predict events based on numbers alone seems very brave to me. Interesting post, nonetheless.

GORDON -

I try to look at things from the creators perspective and to me there
is no greater mathematician than He and what we have learned is not
new under the sun but known long, long before us. As for the
Crypto-Jews and the Jesuits go, their day is now but will come to an
abrupt end. I also believe that if we don't learn from history we will
be made history!
Gordon.

Hi Tap,

Well it's been quiet today on The Tap. Perhaps everyone is feeling
down that they didn't see what they expected concerning the Olympic
opening ceremony. Big Ben still stands, the underground tube is still
intact and the Olympic Stadium remains standing. No bombs went off, no
nukes and no mass death and destruction. Perhaps they remain overawed
by the performance and the spectacle of the dazzling lights and
fireworks display. Who knows!

In reality what we got was something by far, far worse and more
sinister than any nuke exploding causing mass death and destruction in
London. What we really got was the invocation of Satan the devil, the
deceiver of the whole world to come into attendance and into the world
though this Satanic Mass. For those who don't know, Satan with his
fallen angels and evil spirits must be invited and that is exactly
what the Illuminati Zionists performed, a Satanic Mass! What they have
asked for is the power of darkness and destruction to come into our
mists. A darkness and destruction of unimaginable magnitude that will
destroy this world. Oh you stupid, stupid people! You think you are
saviours of the world but have condemned it!!

Sunset 27/7/12 is the start of 9th Av ending sunset 28/7/12. Please
follow the link below to get a better understanding of this Satanic
Mass and the 9th Av. The pictures didn't load in the page for me but
by loading them in a new tab they were fine.
http://prophecybeyond.ning.com/profiles/blogs/shocking-bells-to-ring-out-for-satanic-london-2012-olympic-games

Also; http://merovee.wordpress.com/2012/02/03/london-olympic-opening-ceremony-satanic-mass/

Don't expect immediate results from this Satanic Mass but over the
next few months you will notice a change come over the earth and the
world we live in. Pay attention to the US election to be held on
Tuesday, November 6, 2012. The Destroyer coming up behind the sun in
December and those mysterious underground bunkers ordered by Putin to
be up and running by December 2012.

On a better note and words of advice don't anyone fear for it's fear
these evil people play on. Stand firm, be strong.

Kind regards,
Gordon.

TAP - It seems that this numbers game is too easy. Every number could be the one. It's like a game of bingo.

2012 London Olympic Games Message: It Is All about “Zion”, the NWO

Summary: The year of 2012 has long been associated with premonitions of a world-shaking catastrophe. Disaster at the end of the Mayan Calendar is a New Age religious idea. The fear that a Planet X, Nibiru, could collide with Earth as well as other astrophysical events are rejected by NASA. However, there is a potential danger: that those who have this world in their hands are so superstitious as to believe in the New Age religion, which they themselves invented. In fact, they have long been believing to have developed into gods who have the right to shape this Earth to their liking. Mikhail Gorbachev has even declared 2012 to be the year of either world government or WWIII!

Not only that, they have even created the habit of prophecying in discrete ways which are their plans: Exercises identical with later actual events preceded both 11 September and the London bombs on 7 July 2005. Also in other ways, there are signs of a major transformation that has to do with the Mayan Calendar: In the airport of Denver, US, there are two large murals that describe a transition from the old world order in war, hardship and misery to a happy multicultural global future for the children of the world. An Indian child is holding an obvious Mayan symbol - and the boy in the central image is also Indian. Some see this as an indication of the end of the Mayan Calendar - and the suspicion corroborates, because the airport has a Masonic cornerstone, which points to a non-existent global flight services organization. The whole airport has a mighty underground survival space or concentration camp complex set up with sprinklers. In the year 1994, the well-known manufacturer of Illuminati games, Steven Jackson, issued 330 Illuminati playing cards with exact references to future, now arrived terrorist attacks. One of these cards is a powerful explosion that shatters the Big Ben. The people in the picture are dressed in the colours of the Olympic rings.

The Olympic rings were designed by a Freemason - even the founder of the modern Olympic Games, Pierre Coubertin - to symbolize the five continents. However, in the logo of the London Olympics in 2012 and its 2 Mascots there are striking peculiarities. The mascots have one eye - like on the Illuminati pyramide.

The parts of the logo are not only the number 2012: There is a small element that can only be the dot of an “i”. If turned the logo shows the word “Zion,” which is also seen in the symbol of the 2008 Games in Beijing. The Olympic flame symbolizes Masonic Prometheus, who stole fire from the gods to bring it to mankind “for mighty purposes” - as written at the Rockefeller Center. The torch symbolizes the Illuminati . According to its founder, Adam Weishaupt, they are “Lucifer´s light holders“.
Not so strange. Weishaupt´s master was Mayer Amschel Rothschild of Frankfurt. The sponsorship of the OL-Games in Londen is in the hands of Jacob Rothschild’s National Lottery.

Zionism and Israel were founded by Theodor Herzl, and Edmond James de Rothschild financed it. In the Old Testament, Zion is the capital of the world, when God turns the fate of Israel in the End Times. Mankind will then go there to worship God, to revere the Jews and leave their gold and silver there. This is also the goal of the Illuminati, who infiltrated the Freemason lodges in 1781. Zion is Jerusalem. Today, the building of the Supreme Court is a Rothschild-Illuminati temple with many Illuminati symbols. Zion symbolizes Rothschild´s NWO .

Now they are using the olympic games to proclaim openly that “Zion”, the Illuminati, are the lords of the nations of the world - represented by the olympic games participants. Unfortunately, this elite´s inner circle consists of Frankist Satanists, Shabbateans, who are the very enemies of the God of Israel and of Jesus Christ. While the God of Israel will save Israel under his wings these Illuminati not only want to save Israel but the entire world under their own wings by their own power in mockery of God - by means of a military destruction of the Old World Order in favour of their “New World Order”. So the symbols of the olympics in 2012 are deeply Luciferian religious - anti-Christian.

“Weishaupt founded the Ancient Illuminated Seers of Bavaria, which became known as the Order of the Illuminati. Weishaupt said that the name was derived from Luciferian teachings, and means, ‘Holders of the Light.’ In Latin, it means, the ‘enlightened ones.’ In layman’s terms, it means ‘to illuminate,’ or ‘to give light.’ It refers to someone who is enlightened, spiritually and intellectually. Satan, when he was an angel, was known as Lucifer, the ‘Bearer of Light,’ and being that the group’s name evolved from this, we can see the underlying nature of its goals.” (David Allen Rivera The Final Warning).

The year 2012 has long been associated with misgivings – especially after the New York 9/11 2001 and London´s 7/7 2005 – false flag operations. Mikhail Gorbachev has even declared 2012 to be the year of either world government or WWIII! The year 2012 is connected with the beginning of a new era/New Age acc. to the Mayan Calendar – in fact a phantasm of the NWO religion, New Age. It is unknown to me why this calendar of a far away pagan culture could possibly have any influence on us. There are rumours of a planet X, Nibiru, to hit the Earth – but the NASA can calm everybody believing in that: There is no such planet X. However, former Minnesota governour, Jesse Ventura (1. video below) , has revealed 140 underground private and governmental superbunkers all over the US for the elite – ordered to be finished for use on 21 Dec. 2012. What science cannot predict is global, destructive war. And if the powers that be and that rule the world believe in the 21. Dec. 2012 nonsense that date may play an important role for the globe. As we shall see, these forces are not only superstitious - they are so arrogant that they think they have become gods, who can shape the world as their destructive minds please by numerology, rituals and connection with connection with Lucifer and here and here. They love death (of others).
Mayan_calendar1
In The Denver Airport, The Illuminati appear to have detailed their plans for global genocide and a New World Order in two large murals (videos 2 and 3 below). The first depicts a huge Nazi soldier with dead women and children scattered around him, and the second shows Third World populations dying, a few elite species protected from the apocalypse in sealed containers, and a Mayan symbol (see the Mayan Calendar left) presiding over all.
In his petition: “Holocaust NO!” The German historian, Wolfgang Eggert, writes: “The radical American TV pastor Jack “Apocalypse” Van Impe predicts that the world’s final hour will come by 2012 at the latest. Van Impe is not the only doomsday pastor who was awarded the honour of advising the White House concerning world politics” (Pres. Bush Jr.).

The Bilderberg Meeting 2012 is said to take place at Hotel Rothschild, Haifa, Israel – and/or Hotel Dan Carmel. Odd, because the Bilderbergers were founded as a discussion club for North American and European elitists.

In the Denver Airport there are paintings showing a great transition from tyrannic oppression and wars to a happy new world order in peace. The following apology for this having nothing to do with the Illuminati does, however, not negate that this change has something to do with the Mayan culture and thus the Mayan Calendar and its cycle end 2012– a distinct Mayan symbol being shown. Besides, the apologete seems to beignorant of the fact that the foundation-stone laying with Masonic symbols did lead to Institutions with more masonic symbols for Masonic rulers.

Nor does the above video refute the very odd subterranean cavity with sprinklers (video below). It may be seen as a 1. survival system in a cataclysm of the Earth. Some see it as a gigantic 2. concentration Camp (video below).

The London Olympics 2012

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England’s mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England’s pleasant pastures seen?

And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark Satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold:
Bring me my arrows of desire:
Bring me my spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire.

I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England’s green and pleasant land.

An 18th century writer, artist and esotericist, William Blake, had connections with Freemasonry. He sympathized with the French Revolution. This lay is an alternative English national anthem.

The London Olympics´ Masonic connections explained

Right above: Father of modern Olympic games, Pierre de Coubertin, in Atlanta (Wikipedia). Left below: Freemasonry symbols.

The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) is the private sector company responsible for preparing and staging the 2012 Games. Acc.to Wikipedia it is owned by the Government of the United Kingdom. It has a £2bn budget, with almost all of it to be raised from the private sector – above all from the National Lottery.

Dollar Bill

Jacob Rothschild plays an essential part as adviser to the National Lottery and here. Source Watch: ”Lord Rothschild has been active the field of philanthropy for many years. He was the first chairman of the Heritage Lottery Fund which distributed National Lottery proceeds to the heritage sector.” The Royal commission on gambling, chaired by Lord Rothschild, recommended in 1978 that there should be a single National Lottery with its prodeeds going to arts, sports and other deserving. The possibility of generating new money has maintained interest in a National Lottery since the Rothschild Report (National Lottery Annual Report 1993/94).

Lord Rothschild was chairman of the National Heritage Memorial Fund from 1992 to 1998, and of the British National Heritage Lottery fund from 1995 to 1998. In this position he oversaw the distribution of £1.2billion from the National Lottery to the heritage sector. Just take a look at the logo of the National Lottery – the pyramid with a displaced eye and compare it with Mayer Amschel Rothschild´s gift: Lucifer/Osiris´ all-seeing eye on Great Seal of the USA – seen on every 1 dollar note.Zen Gardner 26 March 2012: What’s interesting is the architect used for this symbol laden Olympic stadium in none other than the architect for Astana in Khazakstan, one of the planned capitols for the new world order.

To militarize a sports event to such a degree…billions of dollars in expense on an already overburdened public, and to sensationalize and terrorize a people with such fear and jackboot police state pomp is trauma-based abusive conditioning to the max.

They really don’t care if we’re catching on. They see us as a soon to be exterminated pests who makes little difference. By Iran the logo has been interpreted as “Zion” – and the 5. little central rhombic figure can in fact only be a dot for an i – has nothing to do with the number of 2012.

OL-Logo-China-2012

Rik Clay, The Whale also sees the name of Zion in the logo of the China Olympices 2008 – judge for yourself.

Astana Architect Designed London Illuminati Olympic Arenas

The Olympic games are a luciferian Illuminati/Freemason ritual – meant to make participants protagonists of Luciferian one world government. Note the NWO pyramids right and left.

The Olympic Flame Olympic-torch carrier
187.N.W.O OLYMPICS: The Olympic burning flame is a representation of the sun a reference to Ra or to Lucifer. Illuminati: In Greek mythology, the original “torch-bearer” was Prometheus, the Titan who stole fire from the gods in order to give it to humanity. Prometheus is particularly revered in secret societies, as his myth is the ultimate representation of the philosophy and the goals of mystery schools: ascension towards divinity and immortality through man’s own means.

Left: Prometheus Fountain at the Rockefeller Center. Behind the fountain is written: “Prometheus, teacher in every art, brought the fire that hath proved to mortals a means to mighty ends.” Right: Another famous light carrier is the Statue of Liberty in New York by Fréderic Bartholi – a French Freemason.

Some people expect the London Olympics 2012 to be a disaster – “terrorist” attacks by the forces behind New York 9/11 2001 and London´s 7/7 2005 -this time with with a dirty nuclear bomb. This is partly based on Steven Jackson’s Illuminati cards from 1994 with so many disasters that have occurred - for example 9/11 2001.
On one card, you see a big explosion in London, where Big Ben is dispersed (video below). The people are waring clothes colours corresponding to the Olympic ring colours.

The video below shows many forebodings of such an inside catastrophe in London.

Comment
Zion is Jerusalem of the old Testament. Zionism was founded by Theodor Herzl (from 1895 of the timeline) and funded by Edmond James de Rothschild of Paris. This movement lead to the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. The Supreme Court building in Jerusalem (right) is a Rothschild temple – full of his NWO symbols.

But why does the word Zion appear on the logo of the Summer Olympics in London 2012? Does this mean that the dynasty behind Israel and the so-called Rothschild Olympics in London, the Rothschilds, see Zion as a symbol for the New World Order ruled by the Jewish elite? This is what Zion ultimately means: Isaiah 60:3 “And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. 10 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee. 14 The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; 16 Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings; 17 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron.”
This is God´s promise to Israel after he has intervened and turned the fate of Israel. However, the Illuminati/Freemasons intend to help and save themselves and rule the world by their unrighteous rules – not by those of the righteous God. They are todays Pharisees, they are making Zion the crippling Jewish NWO dictatorship of the world – and their god is Lucifer.

Henry Makow Sept. 2009 has it: The satanic plague devouring humanity originated with the Sabbatean-Frankist cult, a Satanic Jewish heresy based on the Cabala that absorbed half the Jews in Europe in the 17th/18th Century. By pretending to convert, many Satanists infiltrated and subverted all important religions, organizations and governments. They are the progenitors of the Illuminati, of Zionism, Communism, Fascism and they control Freemasonry. The NWO is their goal. The Rothschilds were Sabbatean-Frankists. It controls the world today. But ironically, while many Illuminati pretend to be Jews, they actually wish to destroy Jews who earlier had excommunicated and vilified them.
