Ahriman Gate Reviews

"Most people hold Christian fiction up against the Left Behind series.  Although I was a fan of the Left Behind books, the Horns have surpassed Jenkins and LaHaye in writing a book that carries Christian themes with a storyline you don't have to be an avid church-goer to enjoy. The Ahriman Gate is a high energy thriller in the vein of Dean Koontz or John Saul... among the most riveting books I've read... [it] will leave you yearning for a sequel."
~1340 Entertainment Magazine, Jim McDonald

"Dr. and Mrs. Horn are obviously conversant with ancient Biblical sources, and make good use of it in their fantastic novel."
~Legendary Ufologist Dr. I.D.E. Thomas

"The Ahriman Gate brings the reader face to face with the return of the Nephilim... and that might be a little too close for some folks!"
~Dr. Lynn Marzulli, Best Selling Author Of "The Nephilim Trilogy"

"My reaction is that the world is right on schedule, winding down. Our redemption is ever closer as the world does what it can always be counted on to do apart from God."
~Cal Thomas, LA Times Syndicate, on the Transgenic Research

"....sets forth a timely and important lesson [and] comes a long way in helping to correct the dangerous drift into a New Age mentality." [On Tom's second book - free with the purchase of The Ahriman Gate]

~Barbara Simpson, The Babe in the Bunker, On Coast to Coast

"...the book itself grabbed me like no book has for a long time. But Dear Almighty! PLEASE let this only be fiction!"
~Jerry Jenkins, Amazon.com Review

"This fast-paced novel is a page-turner because the action never lets up. This one will climb the charts."
~Gail Welborn, The Northwest Book Reviewer 

"Instantly on the ‘A’ list of thrilling Christian fiction!! Makes the Antichrist of those other End Times books about as scary as the Tooth Fairy."
~National Book Review

"It's fascinating fiction and I sincerely hope it is just that -- fiction! Genetically modified creatures, spiritual alien forces, a clandestine government research project and a sinister kidnapping -- somehow, it all sounds too much like today's headlines....I have to commend the Horns for a gripping narrative that will send chills down your spine."
~Randall Murphree, AgapePress and AFA Journal

"Scared the Hades out of me! Then I realized, that's what it's SUPPOSED to do! ...Starts fast, then rockets your emotions into pure adrenaline overload! The authors explore the fascinating science - and conspiratorial possibilities - of an enigmatic World Government involved with transgenic research, Extra Terrestrial Vehicles, crypto-archaeology, and ghastly genetic research, convening in a nightmare scenario that makes you truly appreciate it when God enters the scene."
~Historian of the Year, Egyptologist
Dr. Donald C. Jones

"Wow!... the best...I have read in several years. You really did your homework and then you managed to put it altogether with unforgettable characters and a smart fast paced plot that was hard to put down...!"
~R.C. Thomas, ProphecyUpdate.Com

"Cross Tom Clancy with Frank Peretti and you might get something close to The Ahriman Gate, the new supernatural techno-thriller from husband and wife authors Tom and Nita Horn."
~Derek Gilbert, Watcher Magazine

"...rivets the reader to...thrilling possibilities involving our present time and the very near future!" 
~Terry James, RaptureReady.Com

~David Flynn, Author of "Cydonia: The Secret Chronicles of Mars"

"...a powerful instrument of thought about what awaits mankind in the coming days. You can't turn the pages fast enough..."
~Larry W. Taylor, From the Edge Alerts, The Hyssop Chronicles

"Should be used around the world to begin a serious debate on the ethics of Genetic Modification."
~Bill Carmichael, Founding Publisher of Christian Parenting Today

"By far the most intense piece of Christian fiction in a long time. One can only hope this is the first in an exciting new series"
~Christian News Service

"Forget the Da Vinci Code! The Ahriman Gate shows us that the Genetic Code will soon unleash the mother of all conspiracies!"
~
National Book Review

"The Ahriman Gate... is extremely well written and researched."
~Evangelical Church Library Association

"...really makes a person think about the reality of the phrase 'ignorance is bliss' because you will read it and have your ordinary humdrum perspective on life clearly confronted to face the fact that a battle of cosmic proportions is occurring right under your nose and you didn't even know it!" 
~Mark B. Lundeen, The Josh McDowell Ministry

"The Ahriman Gate races along with all the speed of a runaway train. It reads like an action packed 'Die Hard' movie. If Tom and Nita Horn are right in their calculations, then it begs the question, what the Hell is going on?"
~Patrick Heron, Best Selling Author of The Pyramid of the Apocalypse

"The Ahriman Gate is a novel about a nightmarish scenario of shadow governmental secrets, ghastly genetic manipulation, and the brink of discoveries that could spell the end of the world. A thrilling saga..."
~
Midwest Book Review

"Romance! Intrigue! Thrilling Cat & Mouse Scenes!"
~Donna Anderson, Raiders News Service

  • FIRST CHAPTER!

PROLOGUE

     Darkness enveloped the treetops as the dreadful scent of the predator closed in on the herd of elk. The approaching creature was unidentifiable and menacing, a strange presence unlike the animals had sensed before. A blood rush moved through the bull elk’s limbs as it froze to survey the murky shadows descending through the trees. Its alert brown eyes gradually settled on the pathway where the pursuer’s steps, heavy and temblorous, bent the brush along the edge of the clearing.
     As the stalker drew near, it hissed deeply and stepped from around the back side of a large Douglas fir, its eyes smoldering red, its arms grotesque and contorted, its open jaws stretching torturously around its black and oily fangs. The bull, nearly incapacitated by instinct and by the foul scent of the colossal creature filling the woods on every side, snorted and lowered its head at the entity.
     The nefarious hunter flared its apelike snout and relished the air, as if amused by the eight hundred-pound bull’s defensive posture, the sound of its heartbeat slamming uncontrollably in its chest.
     Then, with a throaty, muffled roar, it attacked.

1—ESCAPE

"Human skulls with horns have been found in a burial mound at Sayre, Bradford County, Pennsylvania.… Except for the horny projections two inches above the eyebrows, the men to whom the skeletons belonged were anatomically normal, though seven feet tall…"
Pursuit
, 6:69–70, July 1973

     July 7

     On this damp early-evening in July, Joe’s heart was pounding like a hammer. He was not sure he could make it through the overgrown flora, tearing his arms on berry vines, trying not to curse as he jumped fallen trees and dangerously random hollows, running for his life.
     For a moment, a vague malaise told him it couldn’t get any worse, then a new ambush concealed beneath the vines tripped him, and he fell headlong into a dump. Round, black objects, wet from an early rain, glistened in the starlight beneath the leafy growth: Michelins, Firestones, entombed inside the prickly Oregon blackberry.
     The smell of rotting flesh was heavy around the tires. The source of the odor stared at him forebodingly from on top the rubber heap. A bull elk’s decapitated head, putrefied and bloated, appealing for him to hurry. Get up! the dead beast’s eyes screamed. Keep running! Brutal creatures roam these woods!
     He measured his breathing and glared over the animal carcass, behind him through the drapes of forested earth, where weak scalpels of twilight and a reflective reddish moon softly illuminated the angry men and their excited dogs uphill. Sliding quietly on his belly against the foul-smelling garbage, he found a good location and looked deeper into the grove. A security truck’s spotlight pierced the foggy shelf like a single strand of aurora borealis, while a cool breeze, chilled by nearby water, carried the unguarded voices and muffled barking down the slope toward him. The light cast eerie illuminations on the bloodhound pack as they continued their relentless pursuit. The canines sniffed the ground, pulling against the guard’s ropes as they struggled down the hill. Nearby, he thought he saw something else, lumbering off to one side, tall and indefinable.
     Joe lowered his head and wondered how it had come to this.
     He was only twenty-six, chestnut brown hair to his shoulders, hazel green eyes, and, thanks to his Lieutenant Colonel father, in excellent physical condition, not that poor dexterity was ever an option in the Ryback household.
     Enrolled in the Yuma Young Marines at only nine years of age, he had stayed in the program through high school. Later, at the behest of his father, he attended Parris Island where he concluded his marine training at the top of his recruit battalion. After eighteen months in Fox Company’s Second Platoon, Third Marine Regiment, Hawaii and six months at Twentynine Palms in California, he received an honorable discharge when his esteemed father, Clarence Ryback, was mysteriously and famously murdered. This was the trigger that brought him back to Yuma, to his own nightmare and to that of his mother alone.
     Ten months later, when he felt he could, he’d moved to Portland, Oregon, to work on the docks with Garth, his old high school buddy. He’d told himself that the Northwest was calling him to watch over his adopted younger sister, but he knew better. It was a ploy to get away from home. There were simply too many ghosts in Yuma…although looking back, they didn’t seem as threatening as the ones in this grove.
     Now something warm oozed along his midsection through his ragged blue jeans. He pushed into a crouch. At once the stench of rotting flesh blossomed even stronger. A maggot cluster, like squirming rice, clung to his belly. He scraped the wiggling larvae off with the palm of his hand and quietly shook it clean.
     Inching forward to ease out of the rot, he cracked a branch beneath his foot.
     He froze.
     The snap of the twig had been so loud it seemed to be amplified over a speaker.
     Somebody shouted, "Point the light over there, and release the beast!"
     Had he heard that right? A beast?
     He clutched the fanny pack containing the graven image, the one his dad had hidden a few years back, and charged over the rubbish into a small opening in the trees, black and cavernous, possibly a deer trail leading deeper into the woods.
     Moving as fast as he could beneath the desultory light, he ducked and jumped like a crazed gazelle over decaying trees that had fallen years before.
     Though the unfamiliar course was dangerous and challenging, marine training enhanced his natural athleticism. His breathing synchronized perfectly with the liquid motions of his feet. He slipped, slid, palmed mossy limbs, avoided stone projections, and prayed for protection against a broken arm or leg.
     Except for the howling of the dogs behind him, the woods were ghostly quiet, making stealth nearly impossible at the speed he was travelling. He kept the pace anyway, sensing the trail would continue due north toward the Columbia River, and when he finally arrived at an area where low hanging limbs encased the crooked pathway, the vague light faded beneath them.
     Thirty feet further the thicket boxed him in.
     He considered turning back, decided against it, and dropped beneath the brambles onto his belly. Crawling forward, he struggled to find space until soon he came into what felt like an oversized briar hole. Now his shoulders became guides, probing both sides of the burrow’s claustrophobic walls, testing the area for concealed branches and thorny vines. He explored the darkness with his hands to block the hidden dangers. No matter how he wanted to hurry, he couldn’t afford a jagged branch in the eye.
     He slid around a rough curve in the passage and smelled what he thought to be an animal nest. He studied the musky void as far as he could reach, feeling with his fingers, searching the swarthy space where he thought he needed to go, inspecting it for hazards.
     That’s when something inspected him.
     Wet fur brushed against his hand, bit him, and scrambled onto his arm.
     He shouted, shook the bristly creature into the briars, and clambered desperately forward, telling himself not to panic. He would be okay if he only remained calm.
     Well, you finally got what you wanted, his alter ego complained as he shuffled along the ground. You just couldn’t leave well enough alone, could you?
     An equal part of him silently argued: Oh yes I could have, if that big shot hadn’t pushed me.
     Uh-huh. Ever since Dad’s death you’ve been looking for a fight, and you know it.
     Bull. I was trying to return the item.
     And to kick butt, he rebutted himself as he pushed feverishly ahead.
     But I ran, didn’t I?
     Not until you analyzed the situation and determined you were outnumbered, only then.
     What was I supposed to do, stick around to see what would happen? They knew about Dad’s death, for Pete’s sake. Something was wrong.
     Drudging forward…fussing with himself…controlling his breathing…searching for an escape, he thought, Even so, you should have given them the image. You need to back off and let it go!
     You heard what the man said.
     What? That enough people had died already? So what. Whatever this thing is…it isn’t worth getting killed over.
     Dad must have thought it was. So did those who tortured and murdered him.
     If you die, it won’t bring him back, you know. Let it go.
     It’s too late for that. First blood has been drawn.
     Suddenly what sounded like the trickling of a stream caught his attention. He knew from the area that the water would be moving toward the Columbia River. He spotted the moon peering through an opening in the brush, headed for it, and heard something else. Uncertain at first, he recognized the baying sound of the well-trained hounds. Montero’s thugs were closing.
     For a split second it grew quiet, as if the dogs were afraid of something, then a loud crunch echoed behind him. He propelled himself toward the opening with frantic abandonment, no longer concerned with protecting his face.
     Reaching the end of the lair and dragging himself outside, he heard the frenzied sound of the canines closing on the stretch where he’d first entered the crawl space. Something was with them, bigger, much bigger.
     He stood and gazed ahead. The area looked odd, dark blue, expansive. When he realized what it was, it was too late. The ground gave way, plummeting him on his heels, arms flailing wildly, until finally he caught a tree limb and jerked to a painful stop.
     He was sixty feet above the Columbia, standing on a steep and slippery embankment. A few feet ahead of him was a sheer canyon wall.
     It wasn’t the trickling of a stream he’d heard, but the weak echo of the river far below.
     Of all the luck.
     Now a huge presence was plowing through the thicket toward him, the thud of heavy footsteps on dry leaf mold and the hard crack of breaking branches snapping terrifyingly loud. He remembered the top-secret project his father told him about. Biometric chips implanted in soldiers…secret military experiments on unconsenting guinea pigs…"Rambo Chips" he called them…. Somehow the technology increased adrenaline flow and made experimental soldiers temporarily stronger.
     With split-second reasoning, he decided to jump into the river. Looping the fanny pack tightly behind his belt, he whispered a quick prayer, drew his breath in, and thrust his body toward the rim.
     Just then a creature bolted from the brush, low to the soil, unnerving and rabid, growling as his feet left the ground, its hot breath snapping ferociously for his legs.
     And then it was gone.
     If the animal had been some kind of dog, it seemed much bigger and unlike any he had seen before. And that smell!
     His stomach was in his throat now, his eyes bulging widely, plunging down, down, until a tree limb protruding from the crag came out of the mist and smacked him across the brow, twisting him violently into a reverse somersault.
     He hit the deafening river like a solid block wall, crushing his tongue and filling his mouth with blood. The bitter substance gagged him as the Columbia’s swirls clutched his arms and legs. His forehead was on fire. His thoughts were spinning too, yet he had the presence of mind to listen for the splash of the huge creature.
     Nothing.
     Whatever it was hadn’t followed him over the ledge.
     Dazed and descending into the water’s ominous throat, his last breath had been shallow; it wouldn’t sustain him long.
     He knew the augmented muscular movements would likewise diminish as he vanished beneath the waves.
     He, like other Marines, had been trained in escape and evasion, jungle survival, water aircraft ditching, and sea survival techniques. Although he didn’t have an EPIRB emergency radio beacon and he wasn’t wearing an immersion suit, he did have the initiative and determination to survive. He focused his energy and fought the would-be grave, scissor-kicking the liquid enemy down in powerful desperate strokes.
     With his heart pounding like a hammer for several fear-inspiring moments, his head finally bolted from the water, coughing and sucking in a lungful of the river’s misty air. His ribcage felt like a mule had kicked him, his vision was blurred, and he was spitting out drool and blood. The icy current would be impossible to withstand very long; he knew that. He only had minutes until hypothermia overcame him. Delirium and death would quickly follow. This was no ordinary river. It was frigid, powerful, and carrying him out to sea.
     "Y-y-you…can…b-beat…this…" he chattered in the freezing water, "and…Montero’s…d-devils…"
     With the feeble attempt at self-encouragement in play, he noted the soft expanse of the heavens—God’s eternal night-light—illuminating random blotches of glittery waterscape in each direction. As the swells lifted him, he pushed up and peered at the images passing by. A canyon was thirty yards south and fading. The water was churning there anyway; it might have pulled him under. The faint silhouette of what looked like a beach flashed to the right. He could try for that. Then something closer caught his attention. It bobbed on the current, matching his drift. What was it? A large log, or was the growing numbness in his arms and neck causing delirium?
     He was fainting away, wasn’t he…getting dizzy…losing consciousness…hallucinating…dying.
     The commanding voice of Gunnery Sergeant Hubert Franklin screamed from out of the past.
     "A MARINE DOES NOT KNOW THE MEANING OF THE WORD QUIT, DOES HE, MAGGOT!?"
     Joe heard himself, slightly younger, reply, "NO, SIR!"
     "A MARINE DOES NOT KNOW THE MEANING OF THE WORD FEAR, DOES HE, MAGGOT!?"
     "NO, SIR!"
     "A MARINE WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL HE CONQUERED THIS OBSTACLE, WOULD HE, MAGGOT!?"
     "NO, GUNNERY SERGEANT, SIR!"
     "THEN OFF YOUR SISSY BUTT, BOY, AND SHOW ME WHAT YOU’RE MADE OF!"
     "YES, SIR, GUNNERY SERGEANT, SIR!"
     He shook his head and snapped from the memory, focusing on the log. He started toward it, swimming as strong and as fast as he could, fighting back the blackness that clawed at his vision. The pain was in his chest now, worsening, constricting his upper body strength. He could feel his legs slowing too, and his arms, like a mouse that consumes poison and gradually dies away.
     Drawing on inner strength, he thought of his father.
     Others might die the death of a dirty rat, Dad, but not me, not today.
     Fighting desperately, his heart pounding like a hammer, his chest heaving forcefully for another needed breath, he reached the mammoth log and with some effort pulled himself onto its crumbling bark. He rolled onto his back, feeling the movement of the tree as it lilted to and fro, while from above, the moonlit sky became a swirling, churning fog, quickly filling the vortex of his unconsciousness.

****

     "There he is!" a voice on the ridge shouted.
     "Where, sir?"
     "There! In the water! Somebody put a light on him!"
     "Is he dead, sir?"
     "How should I know!? Do you see the item!?"
     The marksman stared through the night vision scope. "It’s tied to his waist!"
     "Good. Secure the body. Have river patrol pick him up and take him back to the lab. And private, be sure I get that package!"
     As the dogs broke free of the brush overhead, blue flame flashed twice from the tip of the soldier’s rifle.
     Behind the canines, a large, menacing shadow drew back into the trees.
     Sixty feet below, the undaunted Columbia seemed to come alive, its ancient waters ascending like Kraken from the sea, gluttonous, slavering, lapping hungrily for the blood.

There are none so blind as those who will not look. If you are one of those who will look, take a look around. You are surrounded -- surrounded by millions who will not look. These are the blue pill people. Who are these blue pill people and why won't they look? “The Matrix” may be only a movie, but it presents some scenarios with much relevance to our current situation. In the movie, Neo meets Morpheus and is offered an opportunity and a choice. Neo can take the red pill and see the truth for himself, or he can take the blue pill and return, comfortably unaware, to the illusion of the Matrix. There he can live out his life undisturbed by the truth. The truth depicted in The Matrix is an extreme version of modern socialism. In the futuristic scenario of the movie, a massive array of human beings are kept in self-contained pods that resemble artificial wombs. These “row-cropped” human entities are maintained in their pods, from their in vitro conception until they are no longer useful to the Artificial Intelligence (AI) entity. The AI entity needs certain things from these “humans” for its own sustenance, so it continuously breeds new human crops and extracts from them what it needs. In return, the AI entity supplies the humans' needs with several permanent intravenous connections and a neural link. The neural link provides the pod-bound humans with a complete illusion -- the Matrix. In the AI-created illusion the humans have a normal life in a real world. In reality, however, the civilized world was destroyed some time ago and humans have been harvested as crops for the benefit of the Al entity ever since. The Matrix is a complete digital holographic type “world” created by the AI entity to mentally contain its human crops while it extracts what it needs from their pod-bound bodies.

CONSPIRACY THEORY: SPECIAL EDITION
Based on Tom and Nita Horn's book The Ahriman Gate, and Tom Horn's new book Nephilim Stargates: The Year 2012 and the Return of the Watchers, this 6 hour / 6 CD investigative interview between reporter and actor Spencer Bennett and Tom Horn discusses in detail the subject of End Times prophecy and its relationship with biotechnology, UFOs, Nephilim, and speculation about the return of the Watchers in the year 2012.

The House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade met to discuss the regulation of “Genetics and other Human Modification Technologies.” Chairman of the Subcommittee, Brad Sherman (D-Calif.), said that growth in genetic and human modifications means that the future will be like a “science fiction movie.” But, he said that international regulation is necessary to prevent new technologies from harmful, unethical use. He said that not all of the technology is in the hands of the moral, and could be used to achieve national security advantages. Also, he expressed concerns about states performing unethical research in mixing animal and human DNA, and implanting chips in humans.

The British government is developing a plan to track current and former prisoners by means of microchips implanted under the skin, drawing intense criticism from probation officers and civil rights groups. As a way to reduce prison crowding, many British prisoners are currently released under electronic monitoring, carried out by means of an ankle bracelet that transmits signals like those used by mobile phones. Now the Ministry of Justice is exploring the possibility of injecting prisoners in the back of the arm with a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip that contains information about their name, address and criminal record. Such chips, which contain a built-in antenna, could be scanned by special readers. The implantation of RFID chips in luggage, pets and livestock has become increasingly popular in recent years.

Scientists at Newcastle University in the UK have already produced almost 300 hybrid embryos, by inserting human DNA into cow eggs, since their controversial research project started in January. Lyle Armstrong, the project leader, told the BIO biotechnology conference in San Diego that the scientists were finding it easier than expected to make embryos for stem cell research, by replacing the nuclei of cow eggs with DNA from human skin cells.

A number of GM microbes are being widely deployed since their first release six years ago. Sinorhizobium meliloti is a bacterium added to soil or inoculated into seeds to enhance nodule formation and nitrogen fixation in the roots of legumes. It was released for commercial production in 1997. The other commercial GM microbes are designated as bio-pesticides. These include GM Agrobacterium radiobacter k1026, used to prevent crown gall disease in fruit and vegetable plants, and Pseudomonas fluorescens modified with a number of different Cry delta-endotoxin genes from different subspecies of Bacillus thruingiensis (Bt). The modified P. fluorescens cultures are killed by heat pasteurization and provides a persistent biopesticide preparation that degrades much slower in sunlight than Bt. Neither the people selling nor those using the preparations are necessarily aware that the microbes are genetically modified, however. Even organic farmers may be using them inadvertently.

The latest Pentagon budget request contains a near record high level of money for classified, or "black" programs, reports the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments. Fiscal year 2009 includes a whopping $34 billion to fund classified weapons purchases and development, though it is not the highest level ever. "The FY 2007 level is higher than the FY 2009 request primarily because it includes war-related funding, while the FY 2009 figure does not," notes the report, which is updated annually by Steven Kosiak. "It is likely that once war-related funding is included, the FY 2009 total will surpass the FY 2007 level—making it the highest total for classified acquisition programs since FY 1987 in real terms."

Gordon Brown is calling on the European Union to relax its rules on importing genetically modified animal feed in a further sign of the Government's willingness to embrace the controversial technology. Mr Brown believes GM crops are vital to the attempt to cut spiralling food prices. His proposal comes the day after The Independent revealed that the Environment minister, Phil Woolas, has held private talks with the biotechnology industry about relaxing Britain's policy on the use of GM crops.

Author, “World Net Daily” columnist and investigative journalist Dr. Jerome Corsi (www.worldnetdaily.com) provides the latest update on secret plans administration officials in the United States, Canada and Mexico have been pushing forward to create a united supra-national, continental government on the June 23rd through 26th daily shows on the newly reformatted “Future Quake” program, now airing on the Christian talk radio station WENO, 760 AM in Nashville, TN (and archived at www.futurequake.com).

Unfortunately, despite the government’s responsibility to protect citizen’s rights, it is blatantly obvious that the government is following an alternative, deliberately destructive agenda including: rural cleansing of the resource-producing population, economic destabilization, runaway inflation, unrestrained immigration, illegal surveillance, the NAU, deteriorating infrastructure, ethnic disparity, de-population through war, disease, toxicity, and chemtrails; selective response to "natural" disasters, destruction of the middle class, seizure of private property and obliteration of God-given liberties – all at the hands of an elite ruling class – crony monopoly capitalists and war profiteers, intent on stealing and controlling the earth’s resources, a contrived diminishing food supply and the surviving useless eaters, still obedient and moderately productive. What happened to that illusive balance of power? At the president’s discretion, along with those covert councils who supervise him, and without congressional or constitutional oversight, fifteen Executive Branch Secretaries control all federal bureaucracies which exert dictatorial power over every aspect of our lives. These agencies and their many sub-agencies facilitate U.N. programs including Agenda 21, developed during the Conference on Environment and Development...

Is everything spinning out of control? Midwestern levees are bursting. Polar bears are adrift. Gas prices are skyrocketing. Home values are abysmal. Air fares, college tuition and health care border on unaffordable. Wars without end rage in Iraq, Afghanistan and against terrorism. The sense of helplessness is even reflected in this year's presidential election. Each contender offers a sense of order — and hope. Republican John McCain promises an experienced hand in a frightening time. Democrat Barack Obama promises bright and shiny change, and his large crowds believe his exhortation, "Yes, we can."

A large Israeli military exercise this month may have been aimed at showing Jerusalem's abilities to attack Iranian nuclear facilities. In a substantial show of force, Israel sent warplanes and other aircraft on a major exercise in the Eastern Mediterranean, Pentagon officials said Friday. Israel's military refused to confirm or deny that the maneuvers were practice for a strike in Iran.

Bush's European tour put other Western players into orientation - England and Germany , especially - to what is ahead. But it will be more than financial shocks, it will be an invasion of the Middle East and subsequent Arab retaliation. The Arabs defeated the British Empire in the last Century and may defeat the American Empire in these decades. The world's people will be poor, starving and helpless to change matters. The Democrats have handed Bush the money for continued war after posturing against it for two years. Obama is the man of the financial and power elite and is wearing the costume necessary to convince...

The UN atomic watchdog chief on Saturday warned that an attack on Iran over its controversial nuclear programme would turn the region into a fireball, as Tehran rejected an Israeli strike as "impossible." Mohamed ElBaradei also warned that he would not be able to continue in his role as International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) director general should the Islamic republic be attacked. "A military strike (against Iran) would in my opinion be worse than anything else... It would transform the Middle East region into a ball of fire," ElBaradei said in an interview with Dubai-based Al-Arabiya television.

Iran on Friday warned Israel it would retaliate to an attack with a "strong blow," after the New York Times reported that the IAF had conducted a drill, apparently for a strike against the Islamic republic. "If enemies, especially Israelis and their supporters in the United States, would want to use a language of force, they should rest assured that they will receive a strong blow in the mouth," senior cleric Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami was quoted by AFP as saying during a Friday prayers sermon, which was also broadcast live on state radio.

On June 18, 2008 the National Biodefense Science Board held their second meeting. The NBSB was created under the 2006 Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act and was established to provide expert advice and guidance to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on scientific, technical, and other matters of special interest to HHS regarding activities to prevent, prepare for, and respond to adverse health effects of public health emergencies resulting from chemical, biological, nuclear, and radiological (CBRN) events, whether naturally occurring, accidental, or deliberate. During the inaugural meeting of the NBSB on Dec 17-18, 2007 members were sworn in and working groups were formed to consider the issues members felt were important.

When it comes to hurricane preparedness, seniors can be impacted more than others so they have special needs to consider in preparing for a disaster. Be it a hurricane, tsunami, or earthquake, it could be days before help arrives so officials encourage seniors to get a plan in place now. "One of the most important things is our seniors should look and work towards, in their own friends and families to develop a support network to help them get through the next disaster," said John Cummings from the Department of Emergency Management.

Hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes might seem like the most dangerous natural hazards you could ever face, but floods and droughts actually kill more Americans over time. Better predictions for hurricanes and other tropical cyclones, as well as tornadoes, have reduced the death tolls from such events in recent decades. But flooding deaths are on the rise. On average, U.S. flooding kills more than 100 people a year — more than any other single weather hazard, including tornadoes and hurricanes, according to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR). Most flood deaths are from flash floods, however, and about half of those are because people try to cross swollen streams or flooded roads. Victims often underestimate the power of water when driving into flooded areas, UCAR scientists note, adding that it takes only 18 inches of water to float a typical vehicle.

When it comes to comet impacts, the denizens of Earth may be living on borrowed time. Of course, comets are only about half the problem — there are plenty of asteroids whizzing around the inner solar system too — so we decided to have a look and see just how close modern society has come to destruction since 1900, and how close we're going to come over the next 100 years. The answers, provided in our nifty infographic, aren't reassuring.

That black hole that was going to eat the Earth? Forget about it, and keep making the mortgage payments — those of you who still have them. A new particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider scheduled to go into operation this fall outside Geneva, is no threat to the Earth or the universe, according to a new safety review approved Friday by the governing council of the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or Cern, which is building the collider.

The existence of ice on Mars was confirmed today by NASA scientists, the first time frozen water has been sampled on another planet. Water in liquid form is an essential ingredient for life. Whitish, dice-sized chunks, which were dug from the rocky red soil and warmed in the sun, vanished four days after the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Phoenix probe dug them up June 15. They confirm what NASA satellites have suggested for years: Frozen water exists several centimeters beneath Mars's surface.

White material was uncovered by the Phoenix Lander remote robot digger arm, the most amazingly ultra-tech bucket and spade ever to exist. It disappeared over time and exposure to sunlight, meaning that it's either frozen liquid or David Copperfield has been teaching salt some of his act. NASA scientists are going for the former, in between high-fiving each other.

Japan's biggest astronomical observatories are teaming up for an unprecedented quest to find out whether there is life in outer space. The project, led by Japanese astronomers, will bring together a dozen or more observatories from all over the country to study one star that researchers see as a potential home to an extraterrestrial civilization. "Everyone wonders at least once in their lifetime whether space is infinite and whether aliens really do exist," said Shinya Narusawa, chief researcher at Nishi-Harima Astronomical Observatory in western Japan.

A police helicopter crew gave chase to a UFO after it almost collided with their aircraft near a military base. The pilot was forced to bank sharply to avoid being hit by the mystery aircraft as the helicopter was returning to the Ministry of Defence base of St Athan, near Cardiff. The three crew, who described the UFO as 'flying saucer-shaped', then gave chase, getting as far as the North Devon coast before they ran low on fuel, it was reported. The police aircraft was hovering at 500ft and waiting clearance to land on June 7, when those onboard spotted the other craft hurtling towards them from below. A source said: “It closed in at great speed, aiming straight at the helicopter. “The chopper had to swerve sharply to avoid being hit. The guys said if they’d stayed where they were, they’d be dead – it would’ve been a direct hit. “They are convinced it was a UFO. It sounds far-fetched, but they know what they saw. “These guys are hardened professionals and know people will take the mickey, but they are certain they saw a UFO.” The source added: “After the near-collision they decided to follow it to find out what the hell it was. They belted across the Bristol Channel in pursuit, but it was too quick. They got to the North Devon coast and had to turn back because they were running low on fuel.”

UFO enthusiasts got a boost Friday when Welsh police confirmed that one of their helicopter crews had spotted an "unusual aircraft" flying over Cardiff earlier this month. An investigation into the sighting had been launched, they said. The police clarification came after The Sun reported a UFO had "attacked" a police helicopter, following it for several miles over the Bristol Channel. "The pilot banked sharply to avoid being hit, then launched into a high-speed pursuit. But he was forced to give up the chase as the helicopter's fuel ran low -- and the UFO escaped," the tabloid reported. The helicopter crew had described the object as "flying saucer-shaped and circled by flashing lights," it added.

A underwater robot will be used to search for the sarcophagus of ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Menkaure of more than 4,500 years ago off the Spanish coasts, the Egyptian MENA news agency reported on Saturday. Egyptian and Spanish archeologists will launch the search in the historical city of Cartagena at the depths of the sea with the help of the hi-tech equipped robot, Egyptian Secretary General of Egyptian Supreme Council for Antiquities, Zahi Hawwas, was quoted by MENA as saying.

The classic Maya were part of a Central American civilization best known for stepped pyramids, beautiful carvings and murals and the widespread abandonment of cities around 900 A.D. in southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize and El Salvador, leaving the Maya only the northern lowlands of the Yucatan peninsula. The conventional wisdom of this upheaval is that many Maya moved north at the time of this collapse, also colonizing the hilly "Puuc" region of the Yucatan for a short while, until those new cities collapsed as well. But that story of the Maya is wrong, suggests archaeologist George Bey of Millsaps College in Jackson, Miss., who is co-leading an investigation of the abandoned city of Kiuic with Mexican archaeologist Tomas Gallareta of Mexico's National Institute of Archaeology and History. "Our work indicates that instead the Puuc region was...

The Sistine Chapel was intended to be decoded, the authors believe. The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, which the renaissance artist worked on for four years in the early 16th century, is actually a “bridge” between the Roman Catholic Church and the Jewish faith, according to The Sistine Secrets: Unlocking the Codes in Michelangelo’s Defiant Masterpiece.

In the windowless front rooms of a former day care center in a tiny Texas community, children as young as 5 were fed powerful painkillers they knew as "silly pills" and forced to perform sex shows for a crowd of adults. Two people have already been convicted in the case. Now a third person with ties to the club, previously known in town only as a swingers group, is set to go on trial Monday not far from Mineola, population 5,100. "This really shook this town," said Shirley Chadwick, a longtime resident of Mineola. "This was horrible."
 

New Computer Model Points To 'Planet X' Lurking Beyond Pluto

An icy, unknown world might lurk in the distant reaches of our solar system beyond the orbit of Pluto, according to a new computer model. The hidden world -- thought to be much bigger than Pluto based on the model -- could explain unusual features of the Kuiper Belt, a region of space beyond Neptune littered with icy and rocky bodies. Its existence would satisfy the long-held hopes and hypotheses for a "Planet X" envisioned by scientists and sci-fi buffs alike. "Although the search for a distant planet in the solar system is old, it is far from over," said study team member Patryk Lykawka of Kobe University in Japan. The model, created by Lykawka and Kobe University colleague Tadashi Mukai, is detailed in a recent issue of Astrophysical Journal... At that distance, any water on the world's surface would be completely frozen. However, it might support a subsurface ocean [home of the Nommo?] like those suspected to exist on the moons Titan and Enceladus, said Mark Sykes, director of the Planetary Science Institute in Arizona. "The interesting thing for me is the suggestion of the kinds of very interesting objects that may yet await discovery in the outer solar system," said Sykes, who was not involved in the study. "We are still scratching the edges of that region of the solar system, and I expect many surprises await us with the future deeper surveys."

Scientists at a Japanese university said Thursday they believed another planet up to two-thirds the size of the Earth was orbiting in the far reaches of the solar system. The researchers at Kobe University in western Japan said calculations using computer simulations led them to conclude it was only a matter of time before the mysterious "Planet X" was found. "Because of the very cold temperature, its surface would be covered with ice, icy ammonia and methane," Kobe University professor Tadashi Mukai, the lead researcher, told AFP. The study by Mukai and researcher Patryk Lykawka will be published in the April issue of the Astronomical Journal. "The possibility is high that a yet unknown, planet-class celestial body, measuring 30 percent to 70 percent of the Earth's mass, exists in the outer edges of the solar system," said a summary of the research released by Kobe University.

In early 1975, a broke and depressed Roddenberry was approached by a British former race car driver named Sir John Whitmore, who was associated with a strange organization called ‘Lab-9.’ Though unknown to the public, Lab-9 were ostensibly a sort of an independent version of the X-Files, dedicated to the research of paranormal phenomena. However, Lab-9 had another, more complex agenda- they later claimed to be in contact with a group of extraterrestrials called the ‘Council of Nine’ or simply ‘The Nine’, who had been communicating through ‘channelers’ or psychic mediums. The Nine claimed to be the creators of mankind, and had informed the channelers that they would be returning to Earth soon. Lab-9 had wanted to hire Roddenberry to write a screenplay based on the Council of Nine’s imminent return. To help Roddenberry in his research, Lab-9 flew him out to their headquarters, located on a large estate in Ossining, NY. There, Roddenberry met and interviewed several psychics, and prepared the groundwork for his script.

A general consensus has emerged among serious, science oriented UFO researchers that a certain small percentage of UFOs are real and are not figments of anyone's imagination. Furthermore, it is well known that many individuals claim to receive messages from alleged extra-terrestials aboard UFOs. The messages received from UFOs are generally occultic and steer people away from belief in Christian doctrine. Extra-terrestials tend to undermine or attack the Christian faith... Leading UFO Researchers Confirm Christian View Astronomer J. Alan Hynek and the late French physicist Jacques Vallee are perhaps the most respected UFO researchers in the world. Both are agnostics. No one can consider them Christians with a theological ax to grind. Both men have made what I consider to be very bold statements that clearly undergird the Christian position that spiritual entities are behind UFO phenomena. For example, Hynek said that UFOs cause physical effects "in the same way that a poltergeist can produce very real physical effects." Vallee said "The UFO phenomenon represents evidence for other dimensions beyond spacetime . . . It is a spiritual system that acts on humans and uses humans."

As we enter the 21st century and a new millennium, Satan has devised the delusion that mankind is entering into an important evolutionary phase - a New Age. The push for "global enlightenment" has now extended to the vast reaches of the universe, into what could be deemed as a "space" religion. However, once this nebulous veil is lifted, a definite correlation emerges between the UFO/Alien phenomenon and occultic/satanic activity.

There, in the Ritz-Carlton ballroom Monday, stood Vernon Jordan -- the political insider, corporate networker and financial rainmaker, tall and impeccably turned out -- presiding over his last meeting as head of the Economic Club of Washington. During his four-year tenure, Jordan had used his incomparable connections to bring the heads of J.P. Morgan Chase, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, American Express, Pfizer and General Electric, along with the secretary of the Treasury, the chairman of the Federal Reserve and the president of the United States, to speak to 400 of the city's top business executives. Now, for his final act, Jordan had reached beyond the Old Economy establishment and snared the chief executive of Google, the hottest company on the planet. Jordan had met Eric Schmidt the year before at Bilderberg, the super-secret gathering that falls between Davos and Bohemian Grove on the calendars of the global elite. By the end of that three-day meeting in Istanbul, Jordan had snared his final speaker.

Eight 'prominent' arrests were made by the police of Trapani and Agrigento last night, the conclusion of an investigation by the Anti-mafia District Department of Palermo into attempts to slow down legal proceedings against members of the mafia with the help of members of the Freemasonry. One of the arrested is Michele Accomando, entrepreneur in Mazara del Vallo (Trapani), already arrested in 2007, charged with mafia membership. The man is member of the loggia "Gran Serenissima" of the Freemasonry of Trapano. An official of the Finance Ministry working in Agrigento, Calogero Licata was also arrested, as well as a businessman from Agrigento, Nicola Sorrentino, and an employee of the Court of Cassation, Guido Peparaio, employee of the registrar's office of the second penal section of the Court of Cassation. But according to the investigators the key figure is another arrested, the Roman wheeler-dealer Rodolfo Grancini.

The Holocaust diminished the popularity of eugenics, but the panic over overpopulation endured. Paul Ehrlich, author of the scaremongering “The Population Bomb,” predicted in 1970 that between 1980 and 1989, roughly 4 billion people, including 65 million Americans, would starve or otherwise meet their doom in the “Great Die-Off.” Inspired by such fears, Alan Guttmacher, the former president of Planned Parenthood, was a champion of coerced birth control — i.e. “compulsory sterilization and compulsory abortion” — throughout much of the world.

Could some wealthy private party force the U.S. to allow a "Statue of Tyranny" in New York harbor alongside the famed Statue of Liberty? Yes, unless the U.S. Supreme Court reverses a confused free speech decision from a split 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver, according to a law firm advocating for constitutional rights. "The court of appeals' approach would make the government's display of the Statue of Liberty the speech of France, not the United States, entitling others to erect counter-monuments," said a brief filed with the high court by the American Center for Law and Justice, which represents the city of Pleasant Grove, Utah, in the dispute. "Likewise, the Vietnam, Korean, World War II, and upcoming Martin Luther King, Jr., monuments in the nation's capital would likely be deemed private speech, not government speech, entitling Summum and everyone else with a monument to occupy their own corner of the National Mall," the brief said... The ACLJ yesterday filed its opening brief on behalf of the city's rights in the case that could impact local, state and federal government decisions across the continent. The case essentially will decide, the ACLJ said, if cities will be faced with the choice of dismantling all monuments, memorials and other displays, "including long-standing patriotic and historical displays," or let "all comers install privately owned monuments or displays, regardless of content."

An exhibition of the history of those scientific ideas that gave a grimy intellectual veneer to the Nazi genocide opened recently at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. The collection centres on eugenics, the notion that humanity can be improved and perfected by selective breeding and the elimination of individuals and groups considered to be undesirable. Entitled Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race, it reveals how it was not thoughtless right-wing thugs as much as writers and scientists, the intellectual elite, who led the movement. The exhibit is important, accurate but, regrettably, long overdue. It also fails to stress just how much the socialist left initiated and supported the eugenics campaign, not only in Germany but in Britain, the U. S. and the rest of Europe.

The two-star general who led an Army investigation into the horrific detainee abuse at Abu Ghraib has accused the Bush administration of war crimes and is calling for accountability. In his 2004 report on Abu Ghraib, then-Major General Anthony Taguba concluded that "numerous incidents of sadistic, blatant, and wanton criminal abuses were inflicted on several detainees." He called the abuse "systemic and illegal." Now, in a preface to a Physicians for Human Rights report based on medical examinations of former detainees, Taguba adds an epilogue to his own investigation. The new report, he writes, "tells the largely untold human story of what happened to detainees in our custody when the Commander-in-Chief and those under him authorized a systematic regime of torture. This story is not only written in words: It is scrawled for the rest of these individual's lives on their bodies and minds... In order for these individuals to suffer the wanton cruelty to which they were subjected, a government policy was promulgated to the field whereby the Geneva Conventions and the Uniform Code of Military Justice were disregarded.

In truth, the purpose of a two party system is the maintenance of a political cartel. Within such a framework, viable alternatives are overlooked and the same logically bankrupt status quo remains enshrined. To qualify this contention, I will briefly examine one major issue that occupies the mind of the voter: the war. To be sure, this is not the only point of convergence for the Democrats and Republicans, but it is one of the most transparently fraudulent dichotomies on the political landscape. The dominant perception holds that Republicans are "hawks" while Democrats are "doves." However, history does not bear out this dualistic portrait.

The US military cannot locate hundreds of sensitive nuclear missile components, according to several government officials familiar with a Pentagon report on nuclear safeguards. Robert Gates, US defence secretary, recently fired both the US Air Force chief of staff and air force secretary after an investigation blamed the air force for the inadvertent shipment of nuclear missile nose cones to Taiwan.

The scenario: A dirty bomb falls somewhere in the Washington D.C. area. Thousands of people evacuate to West Virginia. The state Homeland Security Department staged a major exercise yesterday to test whether West Virginia can handle such a scenario. In Berkeley County, the local Homeland Security and Emergency Services Department set up a decontamination station on a strip of land between the county’s hospital and Interstate 81. State Military Affairs and Public Safety Deputy Director Christy Morris was on hand to observe. Morris says there are several benefits to conducting this exercise: "We haven't had a complete statewide emergency in several years so this is a great opportunity to test phone numbers, to test names of people, make sure they're still in their same jobs, and reacquaint themselves with each other in emergencies," Morris says.

The Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) preparedness for catastrophic, potentially mass-casualty disasters, continues to lag seven years after 9/11 and three years after Hurricane Katrina, according to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), Congress’ investigative arm. But as HSToday.us readers are aware, federal catastrophic disaster preparedness is problematic across the board, especially in the area of mass-casualty medical care – which by many informed accounts is terribly ill-prepared and federally un-supported to the degree necessary to be adequately prepared. At the recent House Committee on Homeland Security Subcommittee on Management, Investigations, and Oversight hearing, "Ready to Lead? DHS and the Next Major Catastrophe," Congress learned about other crucial DHS catastrophic preparedness efforts that have been floundering. William O. Jenkins, Jr., director of GAO homeland security and justice issues, told lawmakers that while DHS “has taken several actions to define national roles and responsibilities and capabilities for preparedness and response in key policy documents” concerning preparedness for catastrophic disasters, the department’s “efforts to develop operational plans to guide other federal agencies’ response efforts and metrics for assessing federal capabilities are incomplete” and that the department “is still establishing a process to measure the nation’s overall preparedness based on the Target Capabilities List (TCL) and has not yet developed a complete inventory of all federal response capabilities.”

Pakistani nuclear weapons pose a greater threat to the regional security than the Iranian uranium enrichment, a top Russian security expert has claimed, expressing concerns at the volatile political situation in Islamabad. "The main and most serious threat to the region is not Iran or Israel (with their alleged nuclear weapons), but Pakistan," said
