ARK OF THE COVENANT
http://youtu.be/qW_6CwB35rA
The Ark of the Covenant is described in the Bible as a sacred container, wherein rested the Tablets of stone containing the Ten Commandments as well as Aaron's rod and manna. According to the Biblical account, the Ark was built at the command of God, in accord with Moses' prophetic vision on Mount Sinai (Exodus 25:10-16). God communicated with Moses "from between the two cherubim" on the Ark's cover (Exodus 25:22). The Ark and its sanctuary were "the beauty of Israel" (Lamentations 2:1). Rashi and some Midrashim suggest that there were two arks - a temporary one made by Moses, and a later one made by Bezalel.
The Biblical account relates that during the exodus of the Israelites, the Ark was carried by the priests ~2,000 cubits (Numbers 35:5; Joshua 4:5) in advance of the people and their army or host (Num. 4:5-6; 10:33-36; Psalms 68:1; 132:8). When the Ark was borne by priests into the bed of the Jordan, the river was separated, opening a pathway for the whole of the host to pass over (Josh. 3:15-16; 4:7-18). The Ark was borne in a seven-day procession around the wall of Jericho accompanied by seven priests sounding seven trumpets of rams' horns, the city was taken with a shout (Josh. 6:4-20). When carried, the Ark was always wrapped in a veil, in tachash skins (the identity of this animal is uncertain), and a blue cloth, and was carefully concealed, even from the eyes of the Levites who carried it.

DARWIN'S NIGHTMARE
Everything
is interconnected. Connections consisting of several layers,
dimensions and levels of existence. Every root in a forest is
connected. They protect and maintain each other, even on an
emotional level. Plants that are worshipped during growth,
talked to and treated well (like ganja f.i.), perform
excellent. Even the water, the plants we use, reflect emotions
and even react to music. You can imagine, what happens in a
forest (emotionally, spiritual and physical), when the
chainsaw-gang arrives. Trees are connected, by means of their
height and canopy. Watching life in the treetops, opened up a
completely new worlds to botanists and biologists. Completely
unknown plants and species of butterflies, frogs and even
monkeys, were seen for the first time. Seen from above, by
satellite, scientists discovered the diversity and harmony of
the trees and plant life. This world is destroyed too, because
of our insatiable hunger for wood. This ends up in our houses
as souvenirs and decoration.
In
Africa certain trees warned each other. When an elephant
arrived, that started eating, all the trees changed the
chemicals in the leaves. They became less edible. The number
of birds do not show you, how “natural” an area is. It's
the diversity that counts. All the insects, birds and mammals
interact with each other. Is there enough to eat, the number
of owls grow, because many mice survive. But butterflies
harvest on different flowers and mammals eat different plants.
When diversity disappears, decline begins.
That's
what happened in “Lake Victoria”. This African lake was
famous for its divers and colorful fishes. They were liked by
fans of tropical fish, all over the world. This type of fish
is completely gone and because this eco-system was unique,
probably forever. This eco-disaster is completely man-made. To
boost the local fishing-industry, the “nile-perch” was
introduced. This alien took completely over. Being a predator,
unknown to the “locals”, this was heaven. The perches grew
bigger and bigger. Now they are eating each other. But the
lake has changed too. All the fish had a well defined place in
the eco-system. Some ate plankton, some ate plants, some ate
insects. This is Darwin's nightmare. The perches don't do
things like that. “Lake Victoria” is a place of death.
WIST U DIT?
De
namen van de dagen van de week, zoals wij die gebruiken, verwijzen
naar Germaanse en Romeinse goden en oerkrachten.
De
zon en de maan hebben hun oorsprong in de Romeinse aanbidding van de
zon en de maan. Dinsdag verwijst naar de Germaanse oorlogsgod Tyr
(Tiu). Woensdag is vernoemd naar de Germaanse oppergod Wodan, net
als donderdag, waarin de naam van Donar (de dondergod) doorklinkt.
Vrijdag is de dag van Freya, de Germaanse godin van liefde en
wellust. Zaterdag tenslotte was de dag van Saturnus, de Romeinse god
van de landbouw en de vruchtbaarheid.
Door
op de onderscheiden dagen extra aandacht aan de naamgever te
schenken, hoopten de Romeinen en de Germanen onheil te voorkomen en
voorspoed aan te roepen. De Christelijke kerk heeft deze heidense
namen, net als veel andere zaken, zonder problemen over genomen.
Freya
In
de beeldende kunst wordt de sleutel gebruikt als symbool van
goddelijke macht. Zowel heidense goden als kerkheiligen beeldde men
af als sleutelhouder.
Op
een mozaïek te Ravenna in het mausoleum van Galla Placida, dat uit
480 dateert, zien we de apostel Petrus als sleutelbewaarder van de
hemel afgebeeld. Petrus had de macht om de poort naar de Hemel te
openen of te sluiten. Openen van de hemelpoort en toegang tot de
Hemel, stonden synoniem voor de vergeving van alle zonden.

Sinds 1932 is het WILHELMUS het Nederlandse volkslied, en de meeste mensen weten niet beter of Filips van Marnix van Sint-Aldegonde schreef de tekst ervan. Maar onderzoek in grote hoeveelheden liedteksten laat zien, dat hij het vrijwel zeker NIET was - en dat Petrus Datheen (1531 - 1588) een veel waarschijnlijker kandidaat is. Het onderzoek is geplubiceerd middels een fraai vormgegeven boekje: Van wie is het Wilhelmus.
WAAR WE VAAK ONGEMERKT AAN VOORBIJ GAAN
Ik wil U vragen om op enig moment het Raadhuis aan de noordzijde eens goed te bekijken. eens goed te bekijken.
Het is een prachtig monumentaal pand, maar het is bleek en vaal. Daardoor heeft dit historische pand, niet de aandacht en uitstraling, die het verdient.
...
De bedoelingen van de oorspronkelijke architect komen volstrekt niet tot hun recht. De ornamentuur en het hoogwaardige houtsnijwerk blijven onzichtbaar. Diverse ramen zijn dichtgemetseld. Dit zou door een grondige restauratie moeten gebeuren; met oog voor detail, maar vooral voor kleur.
Hetzelfde geldt voor het ijzerwerk van de brug over de Noorderhaven. Hiervan worden het vakmanschap en de details met de witkwast weggepoetst.
Goed voorbeeld, doet goed volgen.
Meerdere panden aan de Noorderhaven lijden aan vertroostelozing, verwitting en verschraling. Het opknappen van ons Raadhuis zou stimulerend kunnen werken.
Het leven lijkt vaak vaal en grauw, daarom moeten we kleur aanbrengen waar het mogelijk is. Daar worden mensen vrolijk van.
COSMIC RESCUE
“Everything
is going according to plan, Madam.” The spokesman, obvious a member
of operational services, looked up at the tall, blondhaired woman,
who was overlooking the surroundings from het commandpost in the
cspaceship. She was almost one feet taller, than the engineer. Slim,
blue-eyes and extremely young for the position she held over this
delicate operation from Cosmic Rescue. That was not the official
name, but its goal was to rescue endangered species or lifeforms.
Life
was a priceless and a special commodity in this universe, though the
opposite was mostly true. This planet was full of life. It even
contained intelligent humanoid species, unique to this universe. But
even though there was room enough for everybody and their
adaptability to natural circumstances was formidable, the humanoid
species clashed and the decisive fight over territory, huntinggrounds
and habitable places drove one type of humans almost to extinction.
Nothing could stop this process, becaue the winning side strongly
believed, that, although they looked quite similar, that their fellow
human beings were animals, who should be hunted down, because they
represented a danger for the growth and blossoming of their way of
life. The latter meaning continuous battles over territory or women.
This inherent aggression was now focused on this, shrinking,
population.
“We
did a good job, even though it took a couple of years to convince
them, that leaving the planet was their best option.”
The
engineer nodded. “I was hear from the beginning and worked mainley
on holographic projection and imaging.” The woman laughed. “In
the end they even accepted holographic images of me and my team as
entities and part of their collective spirit. During mass-ceremonies
held in their underground cathedrals we succeeded in getting this
message across. It were their sjamans, that made the difference. They
were mostly curious after our techniques and, on a new, suitable
planet, this would enhance their power manyfold. Even now their
insights, rituals and inprinting techniues completely supported their
way of life. They only took from the land, what they needed and were,
in contrast to their enemies, mostly vegetarian.
Outside
a long row of humans, man, woman and children, were climbing towards
an entrance of the ship. They were dressed in furs and were carrying
pottery, jars and all kind of tools. They seemed in a kind of trance,
hardly making a sound.
“Madam,
does this place have a name?” She nodded. “In the future this
will be called “das Neanderthal”.
PLEASE
ALLOW ME, TO INTRODUCE MYSELF
I
believe in the existence of unicorns, (and in many more entities and
“tendencies to exist”). But most of all, I believe in unicorns.
Why?
I never saw a real one, but a long, long time ago, I was about 12
years old, I had gotten permission to visit and use the “Big
Library”, for adults only, when I first was confronted by this
mystery animal. The building is gone now and so are the many books
that were kept there, too.
In
the dusty and narrow alleyways one could wander for hours. And this
is what I did. History, Geography, exotic locations and the wonders
of nature, were my favorite subjects.
One
Wednesday afternoon I layed my hands on a big book, richly
illustrated , which told the story of the unicorn, who was still
alive and kicking. Where? In Kenya!
The
book, with a picture of a unicorn on the cover, told the story of an
old book, that was recently discovered, which described a strategy to
find the mysterious white horse. Or better, the animal would find
YOU, if you were worthy.
As
a novice, the daring had to undergo a kind of initiation-rite. Quite
dangerous, because it meant a close confrontation with lions and
elephant. The book described the journey of a German antropologist,
who had made it all the way. The book was full of pictures of
elephants and a lion-pack. The author got realy close to these wild
animals. He was helped by a anoyting oil, the recipee was in the
book.
But
the last part of the book was the most impressive. Lots of pictures
of unicorns in their natural habitat, wearing small blue flowers on
their head. There even was a picture of a unicorn charging a lion.
The
book was gone, when I searched for it, a couple of years later. But I
still am convinced, that the pictures were authentic. No way, that it
was faked and manipulated .
Do
unicorns exist? Yes!

MESSAGE TO 100 MONKEYS
– 25 -
CONSPIRACIES GO MAINSTREAM?
LIBYA WAR: what they don't want you to know
America's Planned War on Britain: Revealed
Hidden deep inside the American National Archives there's a highly classified document once considered as the most sensitive on Earth. In 1930 America crafted an elaborate plan for war with the "Red Empire" - the most deadly enemy. But America's enemy in this conflict was not the Soviet Union, or Japan... it was not even Nazi Germany. Plan "Red" was a code word for a massive war with Britain and all her colonies.
The plan came up during the great depression, amid expansion of evil regimes around the world, and at turbulent times when even some in America have been deluded by dark forces. This documentary will reveal how such an astonishing document came to be written and who would have won if it had been put into practice. It will show how America's greatest ally almost became their deadliest enemy.
Best Ghost Cases Ever Caught on Tape
Ghosts - are they real or not? From the invention of the earliest photographic devices to the latest home video cameras, believers have pointed to images like these as proof. Could they be haunting spirits, phantoms, the dead reaching out to the living, or are some simply the result of camera tricks by clever hoaxers eager to convince millions hoping for evidence of life after death.
In this documentary you will see the most compelling cases ever presented of what many say are ghosts caught on video. You will hear from scientists, computer imaging experts, and the eyewitnesses who shot this chilling footage. Are we seeing spirits from beyond the grave, psychic projections, or something much more explainable? You decide for yourself as we examine the best ghost cases ever caught on tape.
Bad Borders
North Korea is one of the most totalitarian countries on Earth. Its people suffer from political despotism, severe underdevelopment and starvation so it's not surprising that every year thousands of people try to defect the country. Now, escaping is difficult enough, but arriving to a secure place, as the documentary shows, is even more arduous.
To desert North Korea, you can't just jump over the fence into South Korea. That is, except if you're eager to cross fields of landmines, predators, and North Korean military with pretty loose rules of engagement. So most of the renegades head for China, but they're not quite welcoming. The Chinese authorities deny giving North Koreans exile status, partly because they see North Korea as a safeguard between them and the "capitalist" South Korea.
