An official announcement by the Obama administration disclosing the reality of extraterrestrial life is imminent. For several months, senior administration officials have been quietly deliberating behind closed doors how much to disclose to the world about extraterrestrial life. Dissatisfaction among powerful institutions such as the U.S. Navy over the decades-long secrecy policy has given a boost to efforts to disclose the reality of extraterrestrial life and technology.

2016 not 2012 (David Icke)
http://youtu.be/Zr11rzS76x4
A total solar eclipse will take place on March 9, 2016. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partially obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across the surface of the Earth, while a partial solar eclipse will be visible over a region thousands of kilometres wide.
It will have a magnitude of 1.0450 that will be visible across an area of Pacific Ocean, beginning at Indonesia, and ending at northern Pacific Ocean.[1]

Unfortunately, most Americans don’t understand the significance of these warning signs.
Each warning sign by itself doesn’t appear to have a lot of meaning, but together these warning signs present a very detailed picture of the current state of the U.S. economy and where this country is soon headed.
The documentary is over an hour long and features Gerald Celente, the most accurate trends forecaster in U.S. history.

RBS - THE BANK THAT RAN OUT OF MONEY
The Royal Bank of Scotland was once a famous Scottish institution; a bank with a reputation for prudence.
But in October 2008, less than a decade after Fred Goodwin took over as chief executive, it came within hours of collapsing.
RBS later posted the biggest loss in UK corporate history – 24 billion pounds – which damaged the bank’s reputation for financial prudence and Scotland’s image as a global financial center.
Using previously unbroadcast footage of the bank’s top executives and interviews with bank insiders, this documentary tells the compelling story of a national catastrophe.

n the tradition of his first Internet blockbuster, Loose Change, which has had over 100 million visits, Jason Bermas has created yet another outstanding documentary film, Invisible Empire: A New World Order Defined.
This film documents very clearly that some of America’s most powerful elected officials, including all recent presidents, have been part of an international cabal to establish a socialist New World Order that would eradicate national sovereignty and many of the God-given freedoms vouchsafed in the Constitution of the United States, making all citizens mere slaves of the state.
It has an amazing collection of video footage of these leaders stating their unabashed ambitions to establishing this New World Order. It also shows just who is behind this international cabal and their nefarious intentions and true sinister nature. It is deeply troubling and very important.
Again, its relevance to Free Energy technology is two-fold. First, these same forces are behind many of the instances of suppression of breakthrough free energy, which would empower the individual, contrary to the NWO agenda to enslave. Second, the emergence of breakthrough free energy technologies will help unseat these criminals. It is a powerful antidote to the poison being administered.
Another point of relevance is that the film touches on the fact that Al Gore is one of the New World Order insiders helping to accomplish their objectives by politicizing climate change and using it as a reason to impose global carbon taxes; all while personally becoming super wealthy from his various involvements that include serious conflicts of interest. He should not be seen as a hero figure in the free energy movement.

THE BIG PICTURE (CONSPIRACY REMIX)
http://youtu.be/c2gdeKqHtl8
For every question regarding our world, there is a conspiracy theory offered from some quarter claiming to address it. These conspiracy theories number into the hundreds and they are nearly always dead ends, or at best, lead to another conspiracy and so on, ad infinitum. Even though it’s become obvious to most that something is not quite right, and that some sort of global conspiracy does indeed exist, it is still hard to see exactly what it is, and where the truth really lies.

It is time the people of the world stood up and paid heed to the urgency and importance. Yet, you say, even if one were to do so, then how do we the ordinary individual, ever get to the bottom of this? And if we do ever get to the bottom of it, then what are we to do then? And those are both very good questions.
Well, the best way to start is to get all fluoride out of your diet and gain an understanding of history. Then learn to look at each news story from a global perspective. Disregard most of what the announcer tells you to believe, and place the event where it belongs, on the Global stage. Then ask yourself that old Greek adage – Cu Bono.

AJANTA
http://youtu.be/vmQP69exo1o
The Ajanta Caves (Ajiṇṭhā leni; Marathi: अजिंठा लेणी) in Aurangabad district of Maharashtra, India are 29 rock-cut cave monuments which date from the 2nd century BCE. The caves include paintings and sculptures considered to be masterpieces of both Buddhist religious art (which depict the Jataka tales)[1] as well as frescos which are reminiscent of the Sigiriya paintings in Sri Lanka.[2] The caves were built in two phases starting around 200 BCE, with the second group of caves built around 600 CE.[3]
Since 1983, the Ajanta Caves have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The caves are located in the Indian state of Maharashtra, near Jalgaon, just outside the village of Ajinṭhā(20°31′56″N 75°44′44″E / 20.53222°N 75.74556°E / 20.53222; 75.74556). Caves are only about 59 kilometers from Jalgaon Railway station (on Delhi - Mumbai, Rail line of the Central railways, India); and 104 kilometers from Aurangabad (from Ellora Caves 100 Kilometers).
Located near Aurangabad in Maharashtra, the 29 caves at Ajanta are situated in a horseshoe-shaped ravine. The cave walls are covered with painted narratives of the Jataka tales. The 34 caves at Ellora are excavated out of the vertical face of the Charanandri hills.
VIMANAS
http://youtu.be/7BedM1WA8fM
Many Sanskrit epics, which were written in India more than two millennia ago, contain references to mythical flying machines called vimanas. Pointing to similarities between descriptions of vimanas and reports by people who claim to have seen UFOs, ancient alien theorists have suggested that astronauts from other planets visited India during ancient times.
Vimanas of Ancient India
In the Vedic literature of India, there are many descriptions of flying machines that are generally called vimanas. These fall into two cate- gories: (l) manmade craft that resemble airplanes and fly with the aid of birdlike wings, and (2) unstreamlined structures that fly in a mysterious manner and are generally not made by human beings. The machines in category (l) are described mainly in medieval, secular Sanskrit works dealing with architecture, automata, military siege engines, and other mechanical contrivances. Those in category (2) are described in ancient works such as the Rg Veda, the Maha-bha-rata, the Rama-yana, and the Pura-nas, and they have many features reminis- cent of UFOs.

HOE ZO “OOG OM OOG”?
Jezus werd in de Jordaan gedoopt. Op dat moment verscheen hem de Heilige Geest en begonnen de drie jaren van zijn regentschap op aarde, totdat de Kruisdood op Golgotha hier een einde aan maakte.
De doop werd verricht door Johannes, een zwervende preker en een zonderling, die in de woestijn leefde. Hij waarschuwde voor de ondergang van de Joden, omdat ze zich van de oude wetten, rituelen en gebruiken hadden afgewend. De toorn van God zou losbarsten. Deze voorspelling kwam uit toen zo'n 40 jaar later Jeruzalem door de Romeinen werd ingenomen, geplunderd en de Tempel, het belangrijkste Joodse heiligdom, in brand werd gestoken.
Johannes, bijgenaamd de Doper, maakte zich, net als Jezus niet geliefd bij de autoriteiten. De Romeinse regent Herodes Antipas nam hem gevangen en Johannes werd daarna in de kerkers van Herodes' paleis opgesloten. Het was niet de bedoeling, dat hij daar voorlopig uit zou komen.
Tijdens een banket met vrienden beloofde Herodes aan Salome, zijn dochter, haar elke wens te vervullen. Opgestookt door haar jaloerse moeder vroeg Salome om het hoofd van Johannes de Doper. Hetgeen geschiedde.
Maar wat gebeurde er met Salome?
Niet lang daarna leed Jeruzalem onder een zeer koude winter. Begeleid door bedienden en soldaten reisde Salome terug naar huis. Ze moest hiervoor de Jordaan oversteken. De geschiedenis vermeldt niet of het nu volgende drama zich op de plek afspeelde waar Johannes Jezus had gedoopt. In ieder geval, tijdens het oversteken van de Jordaan viel Salome in de rivier. Haar zware kleding trok haar naar beneden. Maar voordat zij in de diepte verdween, bevroor het water zo snel, dat de drenkeling werd onthoofd.
UBAR
Ubar wordt voor het eerst genoemd in oude geschriften bij zijn Arabische naam "Iram", en was volgens veel volksverhalen het handelscentrum van de Rub al Khali woestijn. De stad zou ergens van 3000 voor Christus tot de eerste eeuw na Christus hebben bestaan in het zuidelijke gedeelte van het Arabisch Schiereiland. Volgens legendes zou de stad erg rijk zijn geworden door de handel met de kustgebieden en de dichtbevolkte gebieden in het Midden-Oosten en Europa. De Koran noemt de stad als een stad bewoond door een stam van A'ad.
De stad is op een onbepaald punt in de geschiedenis verloren geraakt, maar hoe is niet duidelijk. Volgens folklore zou koning Shaddad een waarschuwing van de profeet Hud hebben genegeerd, waana God de stad liet wegzinken in het zand. Ubar werd bekend in de Westerse wereld door de vertalingen van Duizend-en-één-nacht.
http://youtu.be/ynlvWo-gqbU
Er wordt soms getwijfeld of de stad echt bestaan heeft. T. E. Lawrence noemde de stad daarom ook wel “het Atlantis van het zand”.
Archeologische vondsten uit Iram tonen veelvuldige inscripties aan de godin Allāt gericht die de bescherming van de stam van ‘ād inroepen.[1]
Bewijs voor Ubar/Iram
Recente ontdekkingen hebben het geloof in het bestaan van Ubar weer aangewakkerd.
Begin jaren 80 van de 20e eeuw gebruikte een groep onderzoekers de op afstand bestuurbare satellietlenzen van NASA, Ground Penetrating Radar, data van het Landsatprogramma en foto’s van de Spaceshuttle Challenger in een poging de stad terug te vinden. Hiermee werden oude karavaanroutes onderzocht op plaatsen waar meerdere routes elkaar kruisten.
Een gebied dat vaak wordt aangewezen als mogelijke locatie voor Ubar bevindt zich in de Dhofarprovincie van Oman. Een team van onderzoekers, waaronder de avonturier Ranulph Fiennes, archeoloog Juris Zarins, filmmaker Nicholas Clapp en advocaat George Hedges, bracht meerdere bezoekjes aan dit gebied. Ze stopten uiteindelijk bij een waterput genaamd Ash Shisar.[2] Vlakbij deze oase lagen ruïnes die voorheen werden geïdentificeerd als restanten van een 16e eeuws Shis’r fort. Opgravingen onthulden restanten van een nog oudere nederzetting en voorwerpen die daar werden verhandeld. Dit oudere fort bleek te zijn gebouwd op een grote kalkstenen grot die als waterbron kon hebben gediend voor het fort. Als dat zo was, dan zou dit een belangrijke oase zijn geweest op veel handelsroutes. Het fort is vermoedelijk vernietigd toen de grot instortte doordat men er teveel water uithaalde, ergens tussen 300 en 500 na Christus.
