The actual origins of the illuminati ; Behavioral manipulation , psychological programming , and mind control , were utterly repugnant to the genuine TELESTAI , ( telestai ) of the ancient Mysteries . In time , initiates took the path of social engineering . Dissident members of the Gnostic movement , were ; are the illuminati . The illuminati movement is far older than we have come to know . The German , 1776 , illuminati movement has nothing to do with the origins of this movement .
OK I had thought that "It is finished" was close to a literal translation of "Telestai" ............................ Please correct/cure my ignorance and inform me about the Telestai you had referenced.
The close connection between Gnostics and the Mystery religions of the classical world, attested by ancient sources and affirmed by some scholars such as G. R. S. Mead, suggests that Gnostics would have called themselves ''telestai'', "those who are aimed
To add ; consistent with their involvement in the Mysteries. By contrast, they would have been called ''gnostikoi'', meaning "know-it-all," as an insult directed to them by their enemies, the Church fathers such as Irenaeus.
A small offshoot about Charles Darwin is the story about the Madagascan orchid and a moth Darwin noted the storage of the nectar in the Madagascan orchid was so deep, 30cm, that it would appear to go against the possibility of it being able to reproduce Darwin put forward the idea of a moth with a long proboscis as being the mechanism No such moth was known at the time, 1862 In 1882 Darwin died 20 years later the Sphinx moth was found with a proboscis long enough to qualify 111 years after Darwin's death, in 1993, photographic evidence proved the link between the moth and its ability to act as the reproductive force for the orchid Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
The real life model for the Count Of Monte Christo - which was significantly biographical - was racially black, from Caribbean Island slavery.
It is not normally much discussed, and seems in some quarters to have been actively suppressed, but the Suffragette movement involved a substantial nationwide campaign of bombing and arson, between 1912 and 1915. The UK Home Secretary is currently under pressure to issue pardons to some of the (long dead) activists. She is apparently having to explain gently to some people that this could be tricky in a number of cases.
Are you in UK? Do you know Wright Layman and Umney? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Yes, but no I don't know them. Having looked them up, it seems the "Wright" is the Wright of the eponymous coal tar soap that I vaguely recall from childhood. Why do you ask?
Working there was my 2nd job. First pumping petrol under Oliver Cutts As the newbie in the lab I was detecting the moisture content of the soap Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
31st January 1968 First American satellite, Explorer 1, launched Sputnik 1, first launched satellite, by Russia, was sent into orbit about 4 months earlier 4th October 1957 Explore 1 one sent back large amounts of information which included data about the Van Allen belts Sputnik 1 and Sputnik 2 (3rd November 1957) did send back coded information which remained unknown Sputnik 2 did detect the increased radiation as it passed through the Van Allen belts but as noted the data was sent back coded so only the Russians knew about the levels of detected radiation James Alfred Van Allen (September 7, 1914 – August 9, 2006) was an American space scientist at the University of Iowa. He was instrumental in establishing the field of magnetospheric research in space https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Van_Allen Van Allen radiation belts were detected by his Geiger–Müller tube instrument on Explorer 1 and because of that the radiation belts were named after him If the Russians had released their data they would have been credited with their discovery and who knows what the belts would have been called Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

Talking of Votes... In the UK before the Representation of the People Act 1918, roughly 40% of men were not entitled to vote. The Military bill of January 1916 was passed and single men and childless windowers between 18 and 41 were conscripted for ''The Great War. '' This meant many men fighting in the mud and slaughter of the trenches had no choice but to be there, even though they had no right to vote in the country they were fighting for. Perhaps it may be fair to say democracy didn't start in Britian until 1928 when propertyless women also got the right to vote.
Interesting points. I suppose there may have been a link - admittedly a loose one - between the extent of the franchise and the general level of education (literacy at least) of the franchised groups. However I think it would be too restrictive to say there was no democracy before that. Ancient Athens is generally taken to be the cradle of democracy and in that society neither women nor the numerous slaves could vote: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athenian_democracy In fact, the gradual extension of the franchise is an interesting phenomenon to contemplate, now that we have extended it so far that really bad decisions can result from it.

In June of 1942, a Japanese sub off the Oregon coast fired 17 shells at Battery Russell of Fort Stevens (which along with Fort Columbia on the other side of the river, was part of the defense for the mouth of the Columbia river). This made it the only continental military installation to take enemy fire during WWII. The commander ordered an immediate black out and refused to allow return fire as to not give away the position of the guns. The only causalities from the bombardment was the backstop for the Fort's baseball field and some telephone wires.
