<p>Its rather disappointing to see that after all the hype about Taxing Sugary drinks, [a move that QUEST.TV supported], that announced today, with alot of publicity, the city has granted a permit for cupcakes to be sold ouside the Metropolitan Museum of ART.</p>
<p>Sugary Drinks Bad &#8230;.. cup cakes GOOD!!! lol</p>
<p>How about an amazing Fruit stand&#8230; exotic fruits from around the world&#8230;..or a mobile chopped saled bar&#8230;. but Cup Cakes &#8230;&#8230;??</p>
<p>from the Daily News<br />
&#8220;The Big Apple is not only the city that never sleeps &#8211; it&#8217;s also the city that always eats,&#8221; said Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe, who praised Cake &amp; Shake &#8220;as part of our efforts to diversify outdoor noshing options.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cake &amp; Shake will pay the city $108,000 a year for the museum spot, going up 10% each year. The Washington Square Park spot will net the city $27,000 in the first year with a 5% annual increase.</p>
<p>The museum was once the most expensive vending spot in the city, before veterans who are allowed to sell without a permit began undercutting the licensed hot dog vendors.</p>
<p>Ojile said she and Hunt believe they&#8217;ll do well because their products are unique &#8211; and will show tourists there&#8217;s more to eat on the street than hot dogs and pretzels.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><em><a href="null"><img class="aligncenter" title="prevent infection" src="http://www.equidblog.com/uploads/image/getimage_aspx_ArticleID=103.jpeg" alt="" width="170" height="207" /></a></em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;A new study has shown that nearly 50,000 U.S. medical patients die every year of blood poisoning or pneumonia picked up in hospitals, AFP reported.</em></p>
<p><em>The study, led by researchers from the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics and Policy at Washington-based Resources for the Future, showed that hospital-acquired sepsis and pneumonia in 2006 claimed 48,000 lives, led to 2.3 million extra patient-days in hospital and cost 8.1 billion dollars.</em></p>
<p><em>The study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine on Monday, said the two hospital-acquired infections &#8212; also called nosocomial infections &#8212; accounted for about one-third of the 1.7 million infections U.S. patients pick up every year while in the hospital.</em></p>
<p><em>Nearly half of the 99,000 deaths a year from hospital-acquired infections reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are also likely caused by the two infections.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em><a href="http://www.redorbit.com/news/health/1827159/infection_deaths_from_us_hospitals/index.html">http://www.redorbit.com/news/health/1827159/infection_deaths_from_us_hospitals/index.html</a></em></p>
<p><strong>COMMENT :</strong> 48,000 is 131 per day , or 5 per hour, or one person every 12 minutes dying from a preventable infection. The link below is a great resource for infor mation you will need if you find yourself in hospital. But the responsibility is not just with the hospital.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hospitalinfection.org/protectyourself.shtml">http://www.hospitalinfection.org/protectyourself.shtml</a></p>
<p>1. If you feel ill do not visit the hospital.</p>
<p>2. Make sure your clothes are clean and that you are not bringing contamination into the hospital.</p>
<p>3. Make sure your doctor and hospital staff have on clean white coats / jacets/scrubs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also i would like to mention the resposibility of family in providing &#8220;snacks&#8221; for their loved ones.</p>
<p>There was a time when visisting the hospital, at the bedside we would see fresh fruits on the table. Now we see potato chips, cookies and candy. All of these food products help create a state of acidity within the body.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Exactly the environment that microbes look for to thrive. </em></p>
<p>We all know that hospital food is not the most healthy nor nutrtious. The dietitions use a calculater more than a nutrient guide, to &#8220;calculate&#8221; meals. And the salad is usually insipid &#8220;iceberg&#8221; with a slice or two of tomato.</p>
<p>Bring in your loved ones some organic greens, mix up a home dressing and bingo , they will love you for it.</p>
<p>When people are ill they need for that will heal them. Food that is easy to digest, fresh fruits and vegetables, salads, soups.</p>
<p>Bring them in a few lemons , so they can squeeze in in their water. Lemons are alkalizing in the body. Microbes don&#8217;t like alkaline. Aviod the very sugary fruits like banana, go more for grapes , plums, blueberries, and make sure they are organic , the commercial grade stuff is loaded with chemicals.</p>
<p>Its difficult to get raw food or vegan food ordered in the hospital, but they will provide it if you ask. Don&#8217;t know if a totally raw diet would be acceptable  , but don&#8217;t see raw foodists ill in the hospital anyhow !!!</p>
<p> But please don&#8217;t bring sweet or sugary beverages and &#8220;treats&#8221;. Its challenging enough for the Doctors to maintain patients sugar levels under the stress of hospital. So don&#8217;t make things worse with chips, soft drinks, and all that sugar, for a person who for most of the day, is  sleeping or motionless in bed.  This is not creating the right healing environment.</p>
<p>If we all do something to help this &#8220;infection crisis&#8221; then things will get much better.</p>

<p>QUEST.TV supports The Alliance for a Healthier New York, <a href="http://www.healthiernynow.org">http://www.healthiernynow.org</a>, all measures that will decrease soda consumption. Sugary drinks should be shown for what they are and the devestating effect they are having on our children.</p>
<p>Learn the old Favorite, fresh squeezed lemonade, with some Stevia, or Agave Cactus nectar as a sweetener.</p>
<p>The lemonade will be delicious and have the added benifit of alkalizing the body.</p>

<p><em>Having read the book &#8220;The Secret of the Crystal Skulls&#8221;,and,there being,13 origional skulls. It is a subject that has intrigued me for more than a decade.A Few years back we were fortunate to have a visit with &#8220;Max&#8221; one of the infamous <strong>13 crystal skulls, </strong>and an interview with Joanne Parks. She is a keeper of the skull, sharing its personal history. Having been alone with the skull for 15 minutes and being able to touch it, hold it, and look into is deep eyes. I would say it is something special that we as yet do not fully understand.</em></p>
<p><em>Also in our &#8220;HealthVOX&#8221;  show on &#8220;Living Crystals&#8221;,  the dynamic &#8220;living&#8221; qualities of crystal are facinating. Did you know that a crystal can &#8220;heal&#8221; a crack in its structure.!!! All our computer memory is crystal, so, how, and what, could these ancient crystal skulls be?</em><em> </em><br />

<div id="ygrp-text"><strong>The Alien History of the Crystal Skull</strong></div>
<p>The only place you can find the full true history of the crystal skull<br />
and its &#8216;alien connections&#8217; is in the first 5 volumes of Where Were You<br />
Before The Tree of Life? excerpted here:</p>
<p>The Skull<br />
The next, and perhaps by now fairly obvious interpretation of the Grail<br />
as the `physical,&#8217; or better yet `non-physical&#8217; reality,<br />
is that of the original Crystal Skull we have already spoken of. It is<br />
in fact the Holy Grail, though not the highest interpretation of same.</p>
<p>When, Wolfram, seemingly the most knowledgeable writer in Grail matters<br />
says, &#8220;there was a thing called the Grail .. . . A host of angels<br />
left it on the earth,&#8221; it takes us right back to the original story<br />
we were told by Barbara Clow of how the Annunaki left their third<br />
present here on Earth at the time of their departure. To translate<br />
&#8220;lapsit exillis&#8221; as `stone from the heavens,&#8217; `it<br />
fell from the heavens,&#8217; `a stone fallen from the heavens,&#8221;<br />
only adds to the burden of evidence for this identification of the Grail<br />
with the original Crystal Skull.</p>
<p>When Sir Robert tells us in the Perlesvaus of the changing sequence of<br />
images or visions seen in the Grail by Perceval `attended by a great<br />
light&#8217; after ingesting shem-an-na, it is consistent with other<br />
portrayals of seeing visions in an altered state of mind within a<br />
crystal ball. We shall say more about this later on, but first to fully<br />
explain the Crystal Skull and its position as the Grail, we must briefly<br />
go over again the history of the Skull, and update it to this point.</p>
<p>The History of the Skull</p>
<p>Again, it is from the works of Barbara Clow that we learned how the<br />
skull was brought to Earth &#8220;as a gift&#8221; by the Annunaki in 10,800<br />
BC. It had been carved on their planet by Spica (or Spicans)—&#8221;the<br />
divine architect of Atlantis.&#8221; The biggest problem with the crystal<br />
skull being left here was that it was still a 4th dimensional object<br />
with 4th dimensional powers—&#8221;the crystal is star matter, it would<br />
shatter in the atmosphere, but its vibration can be shifted from the<br />
fourth dimension into the third.&#8221;</p>
<p>The difficulty with transferring something as `solid&#8217; as the<br />
crystal skull from the 4th dimension into the 3rd dimension is the<br />
greater density of the vibrations here, hence the idea of it<br />
`shattering.&#8217; A second problem was the time warp that would<br />
surround the object, since time itself is a variable which runs at a<br />
differing speed in the 4th dimension as opposed to the 3rd dimension.<br />
This explains the need in Grail lore for the bearer to keep their<br />
vibrations high, like the virgins of the temple going into the 4th<br />
dimensional place at the top of the temple to meet with the Gods for the<br />
hierogamous. This would also explain the need to &#8220;train&#8221; and<br />
attune the people brought to serve it, to stay attuned with it to<br />
prevent the crystal from being `polluted&#8217; as was the central<br />
crystal in Atlantis.</p>
<p>The skull&#8217;s ability to manifest all earthly desires is constantly<br />
mentioned—the manifestation of our thoughts, feelings, and desires<br />
occurring instantaneously in the 4th dimension. The ancient Sumerian<br />
texts talk about the Annunaki using this ability after first<br />
`purifying&#8217; themselves, to do exactly that: &#8220;Enki and Ensile<br />
go to the DU.KU, the &#8220;purification place&#8221; &#8220;the creation<br />
chamber of the gods,&#8221; and brought forth Lahore (woolly cattle) and<br />
Anshan (grains),&#8221; any thing that is already manifested at the 4th<br />
dimensional level could be reproduced. To create man as a slave worker,<br />
however, they needed to do the hard footwork of the genetic manipulation<br />
first.</p>
<p>The Grail Skull&#8217;s 4th dimensionality explains its association with<br />
the Kabbala, and the idea that the Grail is timeless, since it truly<br />
exists in a `timeless&#8217; 4th dimensional state. It also explains<br />
its association with the &#8220;stage&#8221; of Kabbalistic initiation known<br />
as Tiferet, the equivalent to an initiation into the fourth dimension.<br />
In the Tiferet experience the individual is said to pass beyond the<br />
world of form into the formless—to reach the fourth dimension as it<br />
were. This consists of &#8220;sacrificial death,&#8221; the death of the ego<br />
or one&#8217;s sense of individuality and the isolation such individuality<br />
entails–and a rebirth or resurrection into another dimension of all<br />
encompassing unity and harmony. For medieval Kabbalists the initiation<br />
into Tiferet was associated with certain specific symbols which included<br />
a hermit, guide or wise old man; a majestic king, and a sacrificed god,<br />
to which other symbols were later added—a truncated pyramid, a cube,<br />
and a rose cross—many of which are listed as the visions seen in Sir<br />
Robert&#8217;s version of the Grail legend.</p>
<p>Since 1993 alone, the Society of Crystal Skulls has investigated more<br />
than 100 crystal skulls. Out of these, only 14 were categorized as<br />
possibly &#8216;ancient&#8217; and needing further investigation. There are<br />
certain characteristics of those specified as ancient—reactions to<br />
color, light and sound. The ancient crystal skulls are said to be at a<br />
premium among New Age collectors. Some seek fame through ownership, to<br />
be known as the &#8220;Guardian&#8221; of a god. Recently accepted legend<br />
tells of ancient skulls even seeking their owners. A skull is capable of<br />
giving you its entire history if you know the techniques for accessing<br />
the information.</p>
<p>The Crystal Skull is not just a way of seeing the future as suggested by<br />
the idea of a crystal ball, although the Skull is in fact the origin of<br />
that understanding. The Crystal Skull is a way of manifesting the<br />
future. The copies cannot do this, although they have many<br />
`magical&#8217; powers to boast of. The copies were obviously made by<br />
someone who had access to extraordinary skills, someone who had<br />
obviously had contact with the real one, and someone who traveled<br />
frequently enough to the Yucatan and Mesoamerica where most of the<br />
copies have been found. As a Merovingian sorcerer-king in possession of<br />
both Atlantean and Druidic knowledge, and having been exposed to the<br />
real Grail-Skull, as we shall soon see, Sigesbert/Wotan is the obvious<br />
choice for the origin of these copies. Descriptions of him using a<br />
flame-thrower to carve out stone temples would relate directly to his<br />
Merovingian and Druidic roots, although the flame-thrower was more a<br />
representation of his ability to concentrate and use `the dragon<br />
energies&#8217; in the ley lines of the planet to do exactly<br />
that—carve crystal skulls. The diamond symbol that Sitchin is unable<br />
to explain represents the use of the crystal to enhance the energies he<br />
was using.</p>
<p>The holes drilled in the jaw of the Mitchell Hedges crystal skull to<br />
make it appear to speak, show how Sigesbert was able to make himself<br />
more of a god to the primitive people he encountered, and who<br />
subsequently worshipped him and the Crystal Skull. (One other thing he<br />
also took to Mesoamerica was the bloodline of Jesus, and with it the<br />
Luciferian gene).</p>
<p>As psychic, Lorraine Darr, said of the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull:<br />
&#8220;At times the Skull was a projected form that appeared and felt<br />
physical and was not physical at all. And sometimes the Skull was in its<br />
physical form. The difference lay in what the intentions of the priests<br />
and the teachers were.&#8221; This would account for the shifting visions<br />
of it had by Sir Gawain in the Perlesvaus being `real&#8217; and yet<br />
not being `real&#8217;.</p>
<p>Darr also says that the skull was used as a form of teacher, and as a<br />
form of God:</p>
<p>&#8220;Magic, yes, because the force-field literally filled the area for<br />
hundreds of miles when it was in its physical state that it abides in<br />
now, and when it was triggered and the receiver of the thoughts sent on<br />
laser beams for the rapid growth of the humans at that time to bring<br />
into the human consciousness the culture, the understandings, the<br />
capabilities, and the wisdoms of many times.&#8221;</p>
<p>To rebuild the planet and the consciousness of the people so quickly<br />
after the various global catastrophes, something was needed that could<br />
upgrade the survivors on a more rapid basis, like the ME&#8217;s of the<br />
Annunaki which stored knowledge of everything they possessed so to, as<br />
we have heard, are crystals and the crystal skulls able to house the<br />
histories of the planet, of Atlantean technology and so on and so forth.<br />
Thus the Crystal Skull would have stored the records of Jesus as well,<br />
accounting for the visions of babies and crucified persons not<br />
specifically listed as Jesus.</p>
<p>Like the Spican crystal that was the interface between earth and sky in<br />
the Atlantean temple form and kept the land bountiful, so too does the<br />
Grail in Grail lore bring about bounty to the lands of those who possess<br />
it—&#8221;will the wound of the Fisher King be healed , and the Wasteland<br />
returned to fertility.&#8221; In Arthurian legends such as that used in<br />
the movie, Excalibur, the expression &#8220;you and the land are one,&#8221;<br />
and &#8220;you and the Grail are one,&#8221; are common references to this<br />
effect had by the King and the Grail upon the land.</p>
<p>Darr also says that the skull appeared and communicated with<br />
Quetzalcoatl &#8220;for a period of time. It brought him into<br />
communication with his brothers in the far reaches.&#8221; The various<br />
incarnations of Lucifer such as Moses and Ra and Jesus himself all had<br />
access to this power source, and used it with great skill and great<br />
knowledge to manifest what they needed to complete the assigned mission<br />
of each of their various lifetimes.</p>
<p>One version of the much-sought-after mysterious painting by Poussin<br />
called `Les Bergers d&#8217;Arcadie&#8217; shows the mystical tomb in<br />
the forest topped by a skull. Hamlet&#8217;s soliloquy of `to be or<br />
not to be&#8217; with a skull held in his hand has a far deeper meaning<br />
when looked at in the light of Shakespeare&#8217;s mystical knowledge<br />
gained from friends in the secret societies of the age.</p>
<p>The channeled entity Adamis, referring to the crystal skulls, says:<br />
&#8220;They were created as keepers of records. They contain energy<br />
patterns that record the history of the construction of your universe,<br />
and of descending hierarchical figures that faced the Universe in Divine<br />
Order.&#8221; (The different channelings on this subject provided many<br />
varied interpretations of the skulls and their origins.)</p>
<p>Upon their departure, the Annunaki left the Crystal Skull as an oracle<br />
in the Temple at Ur.. It was in Ur that Abraham&#8217;s father Terach, the<br />
`oracle priest&#8217; knew of the Skull, and the influence it had on<br />
keeping the land productive by its ability to forecast and draw in<br />
higher dimensional star energies. When Terach and his family were told<br />
to leave Ur, by the predictions of the Crystal Skull, it went with them,<br />
and the power of Sumer crumbled.</p>
<p>&#8220;When they overthrew, when order they destroyed. Then like a deluge<br />
all things together consumed. Whereunto, Oh Sumer! did they change thee?<br />
The Sacred Dynasty from the Temple they exiled.&#8221;</p>
<p>Upon his father&#8217;s death, Abraham took control of the Skull, and<br />
allowed it to lead he and his family to where they were wanted. It is on<br />
the `advice&#8217; of the Skull that Abraham went into Egypt and<br />
returned as an even wealthier person.</p>
<p>Abraham knew how to use and be used by the Skull. And he passed this<br />
knowledge along with it. His use of these powers, as he was directed,<br />
resulted in the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah—an incident we<br />
earlier described briefly as being caused by `a nuclear weapon&#8217;,<br />
which in fact the Crystal Skull can be when used in this way.</p>
<p>Along the way Joseph inherited it from Jacob, the idea of Joseph being<br />
sold into slavery by his brothers being untrue. Joseph became Vizier to<br />
Thuthmosis IV, pharaoh of Egypt, and he was able to translate the<br />
pharaoh&#8217;s dreams and forecast the times of feast and famine using<br />
the powers of the Skull. From Joseph, Vizier to the Pharaoh Thuthmosis<br />
IV, it went to Amenhotep IV, better known as Akhenaton, whom we now know<br />
as Moses. And when Moses left Egypt, the Crystal Skull went with him to<br />
provide guidance and food each day for all the tribes of Israel, much as<br />
the Grail is described to provide food for all its guards and servants.<br />
The third incarnation of Lucifer was in possession of the Crystal Skull.</p>
<p>Moses and the children of Israel arrived at Mt. Sinai, and the<br />
`burning bush&#8217; that awaited Moses there was not really a burning<br />
bush, but a very brilliant and active Crystal Skull, providing sapphire<br />
tablets etched by the laser-like &#8220;finger of God.&#8221;</p>
<p>David was a later inheritor of the Crystal Skull, and eventually it<br />
passed on to Solomon, becoming housed in the Holy of Holies in the<br />
Temple of Solomon as the source of guidance from the temple, and the<br />
source of Solomon&#8217;s wisdom.</p>
<p>&#8220;I flash into the center of the Temple of Solomon to stand in front<br />
of the central throne of the judge. There. I see a great being who holds<br />
a gigantic crystal ball . . . Suddenly I realize that this crystal&#8211;the<br />
key to the psychic realms&#8211;was made by ourselves, the Nibiruans. It is a<br />
highly polished asteroid that we picked out of the Sirius star system<br />
long ago. We removed layers of burned incrustation and polished it,<br />
brought it to Earth, and placed it in the center of the Temple of<br />
Solomon.&#8221;</p>
<p>The crystal skull is as such, an all-seeing eye, just as has been<br />
mentioned was used in the Temple of Solomon. The skull remained in the<br />
temple until the exile in Babylonia when it was moved from `hand to<br />
hand&#8217; down through the line of prophets providing them with much of<br />
their powers. When the temple was rebuilt under the aegis of Cyris, the<br />
skull came back to the temple and was later transferred into the new<br />
temple built by Herod upon the exact sight of the original.</p>
<p>The real Grail became associated with Jesus when it was removed from the<br />
temple by Jesus&#8217; brother, James, and was then indeed brought to<br />
France, as legend describes, by Mary Magdalene. Note here how the power<br />
moves with the Grail, Sumeria falling into ruin after it is removed by<br />
Terach, Egypt falling into ruin after it is taken by Moses, Palestine<br />
falling into chaos after it is removed by Joseph and Jesus. Its effect<br />
on the land is potent.</p>
<p>Jesus, Mary, and their children are sustained by the Grail in their new<br />
home, although Jesus still travels. When he eventually leaves for good,<br />
and Mary passes on, the skull is hidden in a tomb for everyone&#8217;s<br />
safety. This is the tomb depicted in Poussin&#8217;s painting, `Les<br />
Bergers d&#8217;Arcadie,&#8217; which we shall see seems to hold a shrine<br />
status to many of the secret societies, as well as kings and the other<br />
powerful men of history.</p>
<p>The inscription on the tomb in the painting reads, ET IN ARCADIA<br />
EGO—&#8221;And in Arcadia I . . .&#8221;—which translated is an anagram of<br />
I TEGO ARCANA DEI—&#8221;Begone! I conceal the secrets of God.&#8221;</p>
<p>The next time the Grail-Skull comes out is for Dagobert II because he<br />
marries the Visigoths niece, has the bloodline of Jesus, and needs to<br />
regain his throne, which he does very quickly.</p>
<p>One of history&#8217;s best known Grail fairies was Princess Melusine,<br />
daughter of the Pictish King, Elinas of Alba &#8211; a descendant of the<br />
2nd-century King Vere of Caledonia, Lord of the Dragon. In the year<br />
733AD, Melusine (maintaining the family heritage) married Rainfroi de<br />
Vere, Prince of Anjou—the mysterious son of Dagobert II, also known<br />
as Sigebert (III), and among their offspring was Count Maelo, the<br />
commander of Emperor Charlemagne&#8217;s army. From Maelo&#8217;s own marriage to<br />
Charlemagne&#8217;s sister sprang the Vere Counts of Guisnes who were the<br />
reputed Elf-kings and became England&#8217;s Great Chamberlains and Earls of<br />
Oxford.</p>
<p>Melusine, as always with the female line, had many associations with<br />
fountains, springs and water in general. In later times these queens<br />
were commonly represented as mermaids (mere maids), and were often<br />
called Ladies of the Lake. This was a style granted to Mary Magdalene<br />
when she had settled in Provence from AD 44. Thus the marriage between<br />
Melusine and Rainfroi or Sigebert was also dually<br />
desposynic—bringing together two of those in whose veins ran the<br />
bloodline of Jesus and the Magdalen.</p>
<p>It is for the Skull that Dagobert II is killed, not to end the<br />
bloodline, but for the Grail. His assassins do not get it, however. It<br />
is rescued along with Sigesbert (variously titled III or IV) and taken<br />
at first to his mother&#8217;s home at Rennes-le-Chateau in the Languedoc<br />
in 679 AD. Although it does not go to the Yucatan with him, the original<br />
remaining hidden in Ireland among relations from Dagobert&#8217;s first<br />
marriage, Sigesbert does however have the copies created, some of which<br />
have now been found in Mesoamerica. Upon his final return to Europe the<br />
Grail-Skull winds up in the hands of his protectors, the founders of the<br />
organization that would later become the Prieure De Sion and the<br />
Templars—the protectors of the bloodline.</p>
<p>The dispute between the two organizations in Giscors in 1188 that<br />
eventually split them, and which no one can seem to justify, was over<br />
possession and guardianship of the Grail-Skull.</p>
<p>Under the auspices of Bernard de Blanchefort, fourth grand master of the<br />
Order of the Temple, something was later concealed in the vicinity of<br />
Rennes-le-Chateau—something for which a contingent of German miners<br />
were imported under the most stringent security to excavate and<br />
construct a hiding place. Some have suggested that this work was done to<br />
house the Holy Grail (housing of the Skull would demand a special<br />
environment to preserve it from being shattered in the 3rd dimensional<br />
world).</p>
<p>In Holy Blood, Holy Grail, recent high officials of the Prieure de Sion<br />
have made statements that seem to confirm some world-shaking secret kept<br />
by them that obviously seems to go beyond just the revelation of<br />
Jesus&#8217; continuing lineage. In 1960, when he was interviewed, M.<br />
Plantard spoke of an &#8220;international secret&#8221; concealed at<br />
Giscors. M. Chaumeil emphasized the antiquity of the Prieure de Sion and<br />
that its objectives were not exclusively confined to restoring the<br />
Merovingian bloodline. He declared that the Prieure did in fact hold the<br />
lost treasure of the Temple of Jerusalem—the booty plundered by<br />
Titus&#8217;s Roman legions in AD 70, and it would be returned to Israel<br />
&#8220;when the time is right.&#8221; He also implied that this<br />
&#8220;spiritual treasure&#8221; consisted, at least in part, of a secret<br />
that would facilitate a major social change.</p>
<p>It is around the discovery made by Berenger Sauniere in<br />
Rennes-le-Chateau in 1891 that books such as Holy Blood, Holy Grail are<br />
centered in there quest for the meaning of the Holy Grail.<br />
Rennes-le-Chateau, once known as Rhedae, was the official residence of<br />
Giselle de Razes, Dagobert II&#8217;s second wife and niece of the king of<br />
the Visigoths, one time caretakers of the treasures of Solomon&#8217;s<br />
Temple plundered from Rome. It was in the church, the foundations of<br />
which later became the foundations for Berenger Sauniere&#8217;s church,<br />
that Dagobert and Giselle are said to have been married. They then<br />
resided in the area for more than three years.</p>
<p>During Sauniere&#8217;s redecoration of this church four parchments were<br />
found under the altar stones which rested on two hollow Visigoth<br />
columns, a place where the Templars are known to have stored their<br />
important artifacts and documents and a well-publicized purpose for the<br />
pillars of various temples.</p>
<p>Two of the parchments are said to have comprised genealogies, one dating<br />
from 1244, the other from 1644. The two remaining documents had<br />
apparently been composed in the 1780s by one of Sauniere&#8217;s<br />
predecessors—the Abbe&#8217; Antoine Bigou (personal chaplain to the<br />
noble Blanchefort family, who on the eve of the French Revolution, were<br />
still among the most prominent local landowners).</p>
<p>One message said, &#8220;To Dagobert II King and to Sion belongs this<br />
treasure and he is there dead.&#8221; Other messages in the parchments<br />
seemed to suggest that Poussin&#8217;s painting &#8220;Les Bergier des<br />
Arcadie&#8221; held &#8220;the key.&#8221; The key to what it does not say,<br />
although some of the code in the messages has not been able to be<br />
translated. Without a doubt though it has to do with the Grail and to<br />
the secret of the Crystal Skull, for in the subsequent renovations,<br />
Sauniere exhumed a curiously carved flagstone dating from the seventh or<br />
eighth century—the time of Dagobert and Sigesbert. Beneath this<br />
flagstone there may have been a crypt, a burial chamber in which<br />
skeletons were said to have been found. What was, in truth, found as<br />
well as the skeletons were specific references to the Grail—the<br />
Crystal Skull, by then in the hands of the Prieure de Sion.</p>
<p>Many have seen the Grail as evil, and as one can imagine, to poorly<br />
educated Christian country folk, the powers it invests in people could<br />
easily be seen to be `of the devil&#8217;. In his discoveries at<br />
Rennes-le Chateau, it seems evident that the Grail&#8217;s power was also<br />
perceived this way by Sauniere, and he reflected this view in his<br />
subsequent redecoration of the church.</p>
<p>Over the next few months, Sauniere became very wealthy and did business<br />
with important figures from all over Europe. The redecoration was then<br />
able to be done in a much more lavish and most bizarre style. A Latin<br />
inscription incised in the porch lintel above the entrance reads:<br />
Terribilis est locus iste (&#8221;This place is terrible&#8221;); a gaudy<br />
representation of the demon Asmodeus—custodian of secrets, guardian<br />
of hidden treasures&#8211;and according to ancient Judaic legend, builder of<br />
Solomon&#8217;s temple—was erected inside the entrance.</p>
<p>Visitors came to Sauniere from far and wide, among them the Archduke<br />
Johann von Habsburg, a cousin of Franz Josef, emperor of Austria. Bank<br />
statements subsequently revealed that Sauniere and the Archduke had<br />
opened consecutive accounts on the same day and that the latter had paid<br />
over a substantial sum to Sauniere.</p>
<p>The Vatican exonerated Sauniere of any wrong doing, more likely than not<br />
being scared of the power he now wielded through the knowledge he had<br />
acquired of Jesus&#8217; still existent royal lineage.</p>
<p>Rennes-le-Chateau seems to have been central to much of the history of<br />
the Grail since it arrived in Europe. It was also of great interest to<br />
many other parties as well, among them the Nazis who during WWII<br />
commissioned excavations in the area apparently to look for the Grail.<br />
Wagner is also said to have composed his opera Parsifal after visiting<br />
that particular location.</p>
<p>It was through knowledge acquired in the use of the Grail that Godfroi<br />
de Boullion was sent to Jerusalem to acquire the Tablets of Testimony<br />
and the rest of the treasures of the temple.</p>
<p>Grail lore reached its height in mediaeval times around the time of the<br />
Templars. `Baphomet&#8217;, the god whom the Templars were accused of<br />
worshipping, &#8220;on other occasions seems to be associated with an<br />
apparition of a bearded head . . .&#8221; In their worship, The<br />
Templars &#8220;surrounded or touched each head of the aforesaid idols<br />
with small chords, which they wore around themselves next to the shirt<br />
or flesh . . . But most striking in the list is the head&#8217;s<br />
purported capacity to engender riches, make trees flower, and bring<br />
fertility to the land. These properties coincide remarkably with those<br />
ascribed in the romances to the Holy Grail.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Templars rise to international prominence was remarkably swift and<br />
they became advisers to monarchs and parliaments alike, much as Joseph<br />
had once done in ancient Egypt. Certainly they must have literally<br />
wielded some ungodly power to rise to the levels they did so quickly, to<br />
become kingmakers, and to have no one above them but the Pope himself.</p>
<p>It was this power and their knowledge that also led to their downfall.<br />
They learned the lessons of secrecy, much as their descendants, the<br />
Masons, have been so adept at putting into practice.</p>
<p>The cord mentioned is reminiscent too of that worn by the Cathars who<br />
were often said to have been associated with the Grail. The premise that<br />
the Cathars held an unsurpassed treasure more historically meaningful<br />
than the root of Christianity, it is said, led Rome to exterminate the<br />
ascetic Cathari sect in the savage campaign called the Albigensian<br />
Crusade, culminating in the hideous massacre at Montsegur where the<br />
treasure was supposedly hidden.</p>
<p>During research for the war crimes trials at Nuremberg, it was<br />
discovered that Hitler had ordered that the heads of pure young Aryan<br />
Germans be cut off in an attempt to communicate with ascended masters<br />
from the East through these disembodied heads. There is an obvious<br />
connection here to the powers of the Grail, an object for which the<br />
Nazis spent so much energy searching. Rituals such as this, and even the<br />
shrunken heads kept by cannibalistic tribes, all suggest at least some<br />
passing acquaintance with the original Crystal Skull, or at least one of<br />
its fanciful copies.</p>
<p>This connection between the two would also make sense of the skull<br />
portrayed in the paintings by Poussin of the mystical tomb. The<br />
references to Golgotha as `the place of the skull&#8217; in one gospel<br />
would make sense if it was kept for so long in Jerusalem.</p>
<p>In and of itself, the Grail is a portal into the fourth dimension, and<br />
beyond. And it is more than just a one way ticket out—it can also be<br />
used for those coming into the planet to arrive, a dangerous attribute<br />
for our planet&#8217;s future:</p>
<p>&#8220;But this time we have created a new way for Earthlings to become<br />
star people: cellular attunement to the corridor between Earth and sky<br />
through resonation with the galactic diamond.&#8221;</p>
<p>In her discussion of the Mayans and Egyptians as teaching races with<br />
direct links to the Pleiades, Barbara Clow happens to mention further<br />
the ability of the skulls to act as portals:</p>
<p>&#8220;So Maya deposited a crystal skull at Saquarra in a deep pit near<br />
the Pyramid of Unas, during the reign of Merne. That skull was activated<br />
and the portal reopened in AD 1990.&#8221;</p>
<p>It is also therefore a time machine for it allows people to travel<br />
interdimensionally and be able to come out on the other end, as it were,<br />
through the power of the skull. This is the same ability it was<br />
mentioned that the Pyramids once possessed, and will again.</p>
<p>Wolfram and the Original Legend</p>
<p>The original story of how Wolfram first heard the story of the Grail is<br />
worth telling at this time because in it is suggested the true<br />
translation of its symbolism.</p>
<p>Wolfram explains that he first got the information from one Kyot de<br />
Provence—who in turn received it from a man named Flegetanis:</p>
<p>&#8220;Anyone who asked me before about the Grail and took me to task for<br />
not telling him was very much in the wrong. Kyot asked me not to reveal<br />
this, for Adventure commanded him to give it no thought until she<br />
herself, Adventure, should invite the telling, and then one must speak<br />
of it, of course.</p>
<p>&#8220;Kyot, the well-known master, found in Toledo, discarded, set down<br />
in heathen writing, the first source of this adventure.. He first had to<br />
learn the abc&#8217;s, but without the art of black magic . . .</p>
<p>&#8220;A heathen, Flegetanis, had achieved high renown for his learning.<br />
This scholar of nature was descended from Solomon and born of a family<br />
which had long been Israelite until baptism became our shield against<br />
the fire of Hell. He wrote the adventure of the Grail. On his<br />
father&#8217;s side, Flegetanis was a heathen, who worshiped a calf . . .</p>
<p>&#8220;The heathen Flegetanis could tell us how all the stars set and rise<br />
again . . . To the circling course of the stars man&#8217;s affairs and<br />
destiny are linked. Flegetanis the heathen saw with his own eyes in the<br />
constellations things he was shy to talk about, hidden mysteries. He<br />
said there was a thing called the Grail, whose name he had read clearly<br />
in the constellations (which we shall deal with). A host of angels left<br />
it on the earth. Since then, baptized men have had the task of guarding<br />
it, and with such chaste discipline that those who are called to the<br />
service of the Grail are always noble men. Thus wrote Flegetanis of<br />
these things.</p>
<p>&#8220;Kyot, the wise master, set about to trace this tale in Latin books,<br />
to see where there ever had been a people, dedicated to purity and<br />
worthy of caring for the Grail. He read the chronicles of the lands, in<br />
Britain and elsewhere, in France and in Ireland, and in Anjou he found<br />
the tale. There he read the true story of Mazadan, and the exact record<br />
of all his family was written there.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kyot de Provence has been traced to Guiot de Provins—a troubadour,<br />
monk, and spokesman for the Templars. It is thought most probable that<br />
Wolfram and Guiot may have met in Germany in 1184 at the chivalric<br />
festival of Pentecost at which the Holy Roman Emperor, Frederick<br />
Barbarossa, conferred knighthood upon his sons. Flegetanis is presumed<br />
to be a real person as well, and Toledo was a center of esoteric<br />
studies, both Judaic and Muslim, at the time.</p>
<p>Explanations and the Grail Legend</p>
<p>The symbolism related to the Grail and to Grail lore has many layers of<br />
meaning much like the symbolism of Masonry and other secret societies,<br />
and much like the Ancient Mysteries themselves which have various levels<br />
of interpretation to be known by each initiation level.<br />
While the Grail is in fact the Crystal Skull with all its multitude of<br />
powers and abilities, the Grail legends and Grail lore that have been<br />
built up around it, relate at a higher level to the Ancient Mysteries<br />
themselves, of which the Crystal Skull is but a representative. . .</p>

Research: High Fructose Corn Syrup Contaminated With Toxic Mercury</p>
<p>NaturalNews) New research published in Environmental Health and<br />
conducted in part by a scientist at the Institute for Agriculture and<br />
Trade Policy has revealed that high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is<br />
contaminated with the toxic heavy metal mercury.</p>
<p>That means that many of the products using HFCS may also be<br />
contaminated with mercury. Carbonated sodas are sweetened with HFCS,<br />
as are candy bars, bread, salad dressings, pizza sauce, fruit drinks<br />
and thousands of other grocery items.</p>
<p>Mercury is so highly toxic that it causes severe neurological<br />
disorders. It can also result in the loss of hair, teeth and nails as<br />
well as muscle weakness, loss of kidney function, emotional mood<br />
swings and memory impairment. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercur&#8230;)<br />
(P.S. Somebody please update this Wikipedia page with this latest<br />
research about HFCS being a source for mercury exposure, too.)</p>
<p>The highest level of contamination found in the study<br />
(http://www.ehjournal.net/content/8/1/2) was 0.57 micrograms of<br />
mercury per gram of HFCS. The EPA says that an average-sized woman<br />
should consume no more than 5.5 micrograms per day of mercury, meaning<br />
that the average American consumer may be eating five times the upper<br />
safety limit of mercury every day due to high-fructose corn syrup<br />
consumption if they consume the foods tested in the study.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s because the average American consumes 12 teaspoons of HFCS<br />
every day! So just by eating the standard American diet of processed<br />
foods, consumers are right now potentially exposing themselves to<br />
exceedingly high levels of mercury that far surpass the safety limits<br />
set by the EPA.</p>
<p>Buy groceries, get free mercury!High-fructose corn syrup is used in<br />
almost everything, it seems. A second study conducted by David<br />
Wallinga, M.D., entitled &#8220;Not So Sweet: Missing Mercury and High<br />
Fructose Corn Syrup&#8221; (http://healthobservatory.org/librar&#8230;) reveals<br />
that nearly one-third of all grocery items sweetened with HFCS were<br />
contaminated with mercury.</p>
<p>Eating some sweetened yogurt? Mercury!</p>
<p>How about some salad dressing with HFCS? Mercury!</p>
<p>Want some ketchup on that burger? Mercury!</p>
<p>In fact, mercury is found in thousands of grocery products sold across<br />
the world right now. And it&#8217;s no exaggeration to say that mainstream<br />
consumers of popular food items are likely suffering from widespread<br />
mercury poisoning (especially if you add in the mercury exposure<br />
they&#8217;re getting from dental fillings).</p>
<p>Where does all the mercury come from?Most people don&#8217;t know how<br />
high-fructose corn syrup is really made. One of those processes is a<br />
bizarre chemical brew involving the creation of caustic soda by<br />
exposing raw materials to pools of electrified mercury in a large vat.<br />
Through this process, the caustic soda gets contaminated with mercury,<br />
and when corn kernels are exposed to this caustic soda to break them<br />
down, that contamination is passed through to the HFCS.</p>
<p>Another toxic chemical, glutaraldehyde, is also used in the production<br />
of HFCS. It&#8217;s so toxic that consuming even a small amount of it can<br />
burn a hole in your stomach.</p>
<p>But don&#8217;t worry: The Corn Refiners Association insists that HFCS is a<br />
&#8220;natural&#8221; ingredient, and their Chicago-based PR firm Weber Shandwick<br />
is now also claiming that HFCS has been declared &#8220;natural&#8221; by the U.S.<br />
Food and Drug Administration. It hasn&#8217;t really, of course, but that<br />
doesn&#8217;t stop the press releases from claiming it has. (If you think a<br />
liquid sugar processed with glutaraldehyde and contaminated with<br />
mercury is &#8220;natural,&#8221; then you&#8217;ve been duped. There&#8217;s nothing natural<br />
about a processed food ingredient made with toxic chemicals.)</p>
<p>A Weber Shandwick representative calls me every time I post an article<br />
about HFCS, by the way, usually with demands that I remove the entire<br />
article. I&#8217;ve invited the Corn Refiners Association to a phone<br />
interview to defend their position that HFCS doesn&#8217;t cause diabetes or<br />
obesity, and to answer questions about whether HFCS is really<br />
&#8220;natural.&#8221; So far, they have declined to be interviewed. It seems they<br />
don&#8217;t want to face real questions from an honest journalist who<br />
refuses to be censored by powerful corporations.</p>
<p>One thing I&#8217;ve got to say about the Corn Refiners Association is that<br />
they have a well-funded PR machine running around the internet trying<br />
to make everybody remove stories that say anything negative about<br />
HFCS.</p>

<p>Know where your food is coming from?</p>
<p>Here is a useful list of contry codes that can be found on all labeling.</p>
<p>Beware food from Thailand, Hong Kong, Vietnam and China as there are no food inspections. And with the recent outrage with tainted dairy products, lean painted toys, and poisened pet food, the orgin might be important .</p>
<p> Most common examples are:</p>
<p>00 ~ 13 USA &amp; CANADA</p>
<p>30 ~ 37 FRANCE</p>
<p>40 ~ 44 GERMANY</p>
<p>49 ~ JAPAN</p>
<p>50 ~ UK</p>
<p>57 ~ Denmark</p>
<p>64 ~ Finland</p>
<p>76 ~ Switzerland and Lienchtenstein</p>
<p>628 ~ Saudi-Arabien</p>
<p>629 ~ United Arab Emirates </p>
<p>690 &#8211; 695 Made in China.<br />
740 ~ 745 &#8211; Central America</p>
<p>All 480 Codes are Made in the Philippines.</p>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter" title="Bar codes" src="http://www.titasraha.com/images/EAN-13-explanation.gif" alt="" width="247" height="105" /></strong></p>
<p>(A) The first 2 (sometimes 3) digits, which are called the “flag”, indicate in what country the bar code was issued. This “flag” does NOT tell you, however, in what country the product was produced. In this case, the bar code was issued in the UK. <a href="http://quest.tv/blog/wp-admin/#prefixes">Click here for an authoritative list of country prefixes.</a></p>
<p>(B) The next 5 digits indicate the supplier of the product.</p>
<p>(C) Another 5 digits indicate the product.</p>
<p>(D) The last digit is a check digit, which is used to make sure that the bar code reader at the checkout has read the product code correctly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.brooklynbrewery.com/news2?id=30"><img class="aligncenter" title="beer and bones" src="http://www.brooklynbrewery.com/media/bones.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="245" /></a></p>
<p>New York Beer drinkers now have a good excuse to order another round the brew may help keep bones strong, a study has found.</p>
<p>Researchers from the Department of Food Science &amp; Technology at the University of California have found beer is a rich source of silicon and may help prevent osteoporosis, as dietary silicon is a key ingredient for increasing bone mineral density.</p>
<p>These were the findings after researchers tested 100 commercial beers for silicon content and categorized the data according to beer style and source.</p>
<p>Previous research has suggested beer contained silicon but little was known about how silicon levels varied with the different types of beer and malting processes.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have examined a wide range of beer styles for their silicon content and have also studied the impact of raw materials and the brewing process on the quantities of silicon that enter wort and beer,&#8221; researcher Charles Bamforth said in a statement.</p>
<p>High silicon content</p>
<p>The study, published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, found the beers&#8217; silicon content ranged from 6.4mg per litre to<br />
56.5mg per litre. The average person&#8217;s silicon intake each day is between 20 and 50mgs.</p>
<p>The researchers found there was little change in the silicon content of barley during the malting process as most of the silicon in barley is in the husk, which is not affected greatly during malting.</p>
<p>They found pale ales showed the highest silicon content while non-alcoholic beers, light lagers and wheat beers had the least silicon.</p>
<p>&#8220;Beers containing high levels of malted barley and hops are richest in silicon,&#8221; said Bamforth.</p>
<p>&#8220;Wheat contains less silicon than barley because it is the husk of the barley that is rich in this element.&#8221;</p>
<p>But Bamforth told reporters that the results shouldn&#8217;t be taken too serious. The study examined the beers but it did not look at bone mineral density or analyse patients&#8217; data.</p>
<p>&#8220;I would first consider flavour and whether you like it or not,&#8221; he told science and technology magazine Discover. &#8220;Choose the beer you enjoy, for goodness sake.&#8221;</p>
<p>- Reuters</p>
<p><em>COMMENT: Its not the beer its the silicon.<br />
Calcium is usually prescribed for calcium loss . But calcium is a soft mineral, like chalk or gypsum. Silicon is hard like a diamond. Silicon has the amazing ability to transmute into calcium;</em></p>
<p>&#8220;In bones, silicon is found in areas of active growth, due to its amazing ability to transform into calcium. Silicon-rich foods and herbs have been shown to increase bone-mineral density, leading to a healthy skeleton, beautiful teeth and jaw formation, and reduced tooth and gum decay.&#8221; David Wolfe</p>
<p><em>COMMENT: Drinking beer has other other effects on organs, raising sugar levels, increasing Acidity, depositing inorganic debris in joinnts and stressing the liver.<br />
Silicon can be found in foods.</em></p>
<p>Silicon-rich foods to add to your diet include:<br />
Bell pepper (with skin)<br />
Burdock root<br />
Cucumber (with skin)<br />
Hemp leaves<br />
Horsetail (the herb)<br />
Marjoram<br />
New Zealand Spinach<br />
Radish<br />
Romaine lettuce<br />
Tomato (with skin)</p>
