Of the Sons of God and the Daughters of Men

I have been considering this post for some time and have spent a considerable amount of time researching and considering it.  Much of my information comes from what you might call Alternative Sources.  I have read a lot of the Sumerian and Accadian texts and compared specific texts with those parallel passages in the Bible.  Unfortunately, the usual canon Bible is actually a pretty poor Historical Source document.  The relevant subject matter is covered very briefly.  Noah's flood for instance is found in Genesis, chapter 6 through 8.  The same flood is discussed in much more detail in the Accadian Epic of Gilgamesh, (although you will find different names for the key players), which is comprised of eleven tablets.  If you have ever had an interest in this subject, I urge you to read or watch on video, all eleven tablets. 

Now I think at this point, you should read those three chapters of Genesis, to refresh your mind a little on the subject matter.  The story begins with this passage, and that is the foundation for this Blog.   "And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose."

There has been a huge amount of discussion on this brief passage over the years, and the general consensus is that it should not be taken literally.  The argument goes back at least to 325 AD at the Council of Nicaea, where it was determined the Book of Enoch should not be included in the Canon of the Bible.  That is interesting, considering it was qupted quite a few times by the early writers, including James and Jude.  It was obviously being used in the 1st Century AD, and several copies were found in the Dead Sea Scrolls along with everything else they were using at that time.

Now I think would be a good time for you to pull up a reading of the Book of Noah, which is a part of the Book of Enoch, and read it for yourself.  I think it will quickly become obvious to you that these words SHOULD be taken VERY literally.  These Fallen Ones, as they were called, who "left their  original estate. inHeaven"to profane themselves with the daughters of man, were discussed in some detail, including naming their Leader and at least eight individuals.  It does not say so, in the Book of Enoch, but I think these "Fallen Angels" were the ones called the Igigi in the Sumerian texts.  (Notice I do not call them the Sumerian Myths" like so many mainline scholars do.  They discuss this subjet in great detail, and they also name quite a few, although once again the names do not agree with what we read in the Book of Noah.  One of the few names you will recognize in the Sumerian texts, is Marduk, who is mentioned many times in the Bible.  He was the Ruler of the Igigi, though he was not one of them.  My personal belief is that the "Sons of God" were broken into two primary classes.  Maybe these higher level Sons of God were all Arch Angels, including Marduk, though the Bible mentions him usually as a False God.  Most certainly, one of them became the man we know as Jesus.  In this pre-creation form, He was known as the Logos.  I believe he was the "God" the Sumerians called Enki.  He vertainly was involved in the Creation, and especially the creation of man, which was a lengthy process. not the few verses we read in Genesis.

Once again, the Book of Noah lists at least eight Arch Angels, including the four we hear about today; Michael, Gabrial, Uriel and Raphael.  A fifth coming from Islam would be Asrael or Israfil,  As I said, the Book of Enoch mentions a few more, including Metatron, who is called "The Greatest of the Angels".  The Fallen Angels numbered 200 and in Enoch, they are called specifically, Angels from Heaven.  This is a listing of the names of the leaders:  Semyaza, who was their leader, Urakiba, Ramiel, Kokabiel, Tamiel, Ramiel, Daniel, Ezeqiel, Baraqiel, Asael, Armaros, Batriel, Ananel, Zaqiel, Samsiel, Sartael, Turiel, Yomiel, Araziel.

Taking the discussion in a different direction,  It has always been about White Supremacy, or White Privelege, if you prefer that term.  All three of Noah's sons were white, just as he was.  The idea that the blacks came from Ham's line is sheer nonsense.  To get a clear understanding, you need to go to the Sumerian texts, of which there are thousands to pick from.  They called themselves, "The Black Headed People".  They were the product of Enki and his half sister mixing DNA with a primate race.  In some accounts, they used the blood of a fellow "God" for the DNA.  There were many failures along the way.  It was not all done nice and neat like it tells it in the Bible.  Before they really had success creating a Modern man, Enki had to have actual intercourse with one of those creatures they had previously made.  That became the first Adamu, as he was called, and his brother, Enlil was not happy when he brought that first couple into the Edin.  But the story really gets interesting when we go to the Book of Enochand read about the birth of Noah.  His Father Lamech was terrified when he was first born and hs eyes shone like beams of light and snow white was his hair, whiter than wool.  He figured one of the Gods had been messing with his wife and he went to His Father, Methusalah to get some advice.  Now Enoch had already been translated, but  The story goes Methuselah "went to the ends of the Earth" and called out for him.  Enoch, hearing his calls, came to him and asked what was the problem.  Methuselah described the situation in great detail.  Long tory short, Enoch told him not to worry.  Noah wasa going to be the salvation of Man after the great deluge that was yet to come.

At any rate, all the population from that day forth was white men with blonde hair and blue eyes, icluding all the Kings and all the prophets.  This was the only time in history that a white race would be enslaved by a black race in Egypt.  No wonder they were told to not marry into the canaanites, etc.  The white race was not to be deluted in any way.   Of course, in the first generation ouit of Egypt, they already broke that rule, when the very first son of Jacob to get married, chose a Canaanite.  

Blogging my way through the 2020 Pandemic

Well.  I am just trying to see how it would go to get back into BLOGging again after all these years.  Now that I am retired, I have plenty of time, and The Lord knows, there are plenty of controversial subjects out there to discuss.  I recently tested Borderline Diabetic.  I am going for another test on Tuesday to confirm (or deny) the previous results.   After that, I am sure I will be launching an extensive BLOG about the benefits and side effects of using Stevia in your diet.   I have a Diet Coach and her daughter is a Nutritionist, so she has already shared some things with me to get me started.  On the plus side, I have already lost 30 pounds before this came up since August 22nd, when I started the OptaVia diet.  I am sure I will continue with the diet in some form or another, after consulting with my Doctor about my latest Blood-Work.  Probably, I will try to do it without the Stevia, but I will take it a day at a time.  

Well, this is in the category of an addendum.  I won't try to amend what I said earlier, at this point.  My Glucose was 153 after a twelve hour fast, so Doc says, "Diabetes."  It is still borderline, so we will go another four weeks before the next test with no Stevia in the meantime, but I discovered, thanks to sister, Diana, that most of the Fuelings are sweetened with Fructose Sugar, not Stevia, so here all this time, I have been force feeding myself plain old sugar, something I have avoided as much as possible for many years. The Brownies I like better than any of the other sweet stuff has Brown Sugar and Fructose in it.  I am sort of angry about it.  To make matters worse, the last shipment came short the herb biscuit that I had ordered several cartons.  Now I am going to be severely limited for the rest of the month.  I think after that, I am just going to give it up.  I certainly am not going to eat something I don't like, just to pour more sugar into my diet.  I will try to continue losing weight, simply by limiting the size of my meals and concentrating on Lean and Green.  Lots of salad with low fat meat supplementing.  A hamburger patty with cheese and two eggs for breakfast, no more potatoes, and bread, forever, maybe.  Donna fixed a nice Prime Rib, that I can not eat, and I did try a couple small slices, along with a little rice and squash.  This was Christmas dinner, so I did not want to disappoint her too much and not eat anything at all, even though I had already told her I would not.

Now begins the next phase of my journey.  I did get back to my 240 # weight this morning, without any assistance of fuelings from the OptaVia diet.   I concentrated on the Lean and Green with small portions and added in some exercise on the Snow Shovel.  Now I have discovered I can lose the weight without the OptaVia, I am done with that.  No more orders.  

On the same topic, in another direction, my sister, Judy had handed me a paper a couple week ago now with instructions to listen to a You Tube video by a Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn about the underlying causes of Cardio Vascular Disease.  Initially, I had trouble getting in there, but I finally got to listen to it and a bunch of other Interviews he has given to various venues.  I have to say, he convinced me of the validity of his primary premise, that we have in this country effectively locked ourselves into causing our own demise by the diets we all subscribe to.  The number one issue seems to be ALL OILS.  He explained how even Olive Oil, which has long been given a pass by the medical field because it raises the good cholesterol and lowers the bad, is just as bad at being a causative factor in plaque production, and eventual Cardio Vascular Disease.  He also includes in his list of foods we should not be consuming, ALL MEAT.  Not just red meat, as many will insist.  Even Fish is not recommended, along with all other animal foods, like Eggs, Milk, etc.  In other words, you need to be a strict Vegetarian to be completely safe.  He gives a few other helpful suggestions.  He lists the five best foods as being Kale, Swiss Chard, Beet Greens, Arugula and Spinach.  I will for sure immediately add Spinach and next year I will concentrate on growing Beets and Swiss Chard to can up for next year.  These greens, he advises to add a little Balsamic Vinegar.  I will be buying a quart of that next time I am in town.  I have already begun down that road, but it will take me a while to get off all meat, because I do not want to waste what I have already bought.   I will immediately quit buying any meat and will gradually use up what I already have on hand.  This will allow me to work my way into that total diet over a period of weeks.  He includes in his list of Good Foods, pretty much all grains.  I am not going there, ever again.  I have already decided that I have once and forever conquered GERD by my not eating any bread at all on the OptaVia Diet, and I am never again allowing myself to suffer with GERD.  I will concentrate on the "Good Grains"  Rice and Oats.  Oatmeal with fruit, especially Strawberries, will go back into the OK to eat list.  I will finish up the dairy and eggs I have on hand and will not buy more.  Sugar will still be not tolerated in any form, including Stevia.  As long as I am eating fresh, and not prepared foods, this should not be an issue.

Creationism Vs Evolutionism

Ron and I were talking about various aspects of Glaciation. It struck me that his ideas are very radical and quite different from my own. I got to thinking about it and decided to write a BLOG about how much alike we are, rather than concentrating on our differences. It is said that 99.9% of our genetic material is identical. In other words, genetically speaking, we are 99.9% identical and .01% different. Why is it that when we get on certain subjects, we are so diametrically opposed?? Seems like if you get six people together to discuss a particular subject, you will get six different opinions. Why is it we can not find some common ground and agree to disagree on the rest?? Since the discussion began with Glaciation, I decided the entire topic should concentrate on the area of, How was the Earth formed; in six days by a Creator, God in the Judeo/Christian Arabic view or the extreme opposite, that it developed over many billions of years, or is the Truth somewhere in the middle of these two diametrically opposed views??

(Sorry, I have been distracted and did not get this post finished.  Maybe it will whet your appetite to see where I am going with it.)

Hi BlogName https://goo.gl/e1ZGDP Rick Northup

Figuring Stuff out on my Own

Well, I am 72 years old, and I have got a lot of stuff figured out.  Some of this stuff I have been thinking about for a very long time, and I don't just say stuff off the top of my head.  I have done my research.  Like most everybody else, most of my research is done through Google.  Since I am sort of hard of hearing and a lot of these websites it is hard for these old eyes to read what they have written there, I usually like to click on videos and start scanning down until I see something I have not seen before that seems to be along the lines of what I am looking for.  I wear my headsets all the time, and I listen to these videos pretty much all the way through.  Some of them are as much as nine hours long.  Sometimes I view full screen and sometimes I am off and about doing other things and just listening to the video in the background; Clicking back now and again to see if there is something I should be seeing.   I sort of prefer the ones where the guy is standing at a lectern with maybe a laser pointer and a screen with his graphics on it.   Most of the time you get the gist of what he is talking about just listening, and then I will go back over certain spots, especially if he has something on the screen that needs to be read.  Sometimes I Share this stuff with other people I think might be interested, but mostly they think I am a Kook and very seldom do any of them listen to it all the way through like I do.   Over the years, I have made some startling discoveries, and verified it many times through various sources.  Pretty much all of this stuff has to be categorized as Alternative Information.  I learned a long time ago you can not trust Mainstream Media.  One of the best examples I can give you is when the BBC Reporter is announcing that the third WTC building has collapsed, Building Seven, and in the video, you can clearly see Building Seven in the background still standing strong for some twenty minutes after she has made her announcement.  You just know when you see this stuff, they have been fed the stories they want you to cover and the Media has no idea where this information comes from, and certainly do not verify the facts.  Mainstream Media is the puppets of the Government, and the Government is the puppets of the Ruling Elite.  But I am getting ahead of myself.  The main thing I want you to understand at this time, is that pretty much all of the stuff I have figured out is definitely not what the majority of the people believe.  They just all consider me to be a nut case and a conspiracy theorist.

As a matter of fact, I maintain a website I call North Country Alternatives, and it includes all sorts of alternatives to everything from Alternative Building styles to Alternative Healthcare, Food and Nutrition.  NECA, is there for the Electricians.  How they tell you to wire an outlet is the way the big electrical outfits can make the most money in the shortest time, not what is the safest way for you to wire your own house.  And if it says, "UL Approved", that is so some great invention you made is not going to easily make it on the market to compete with their products.  The AMA is there to help the Doctors, they are not going to tell you what is good for you, they want you to know what is good for the doctors, and the doctors get paid by the Pharmaceuticals, and it is Big Pharma that is getting Government Grants to do the research to tell you to use this drug or that drug to fix whatever ails you.    And it is their top executives that sit in all the top spots in the Administration to make sure their drugs get approved.  A great example is Donald Rumsfeld and how he got Aspartame approved by the FDA.  Do your own research on that one, That is a book by itself.

A very long time ago, one of the first things I figured out is that sugar is at the root of all my physical problems.  Mostly it is in my Acid Reflux, or GERD, as it is called.  For some reason or another, hardly anyone will believe that eating sugar gives you acid.  People just naturally assume that eating acid gives you acid, just like eating high cholesterol foods gives you high cholesterol.  I know I certainly was not surprised to find out they are finally reversing all this claptrap and recognize that eating eggs for breakfast every single day of your life does not contribute significantly to your High Cholesterol readings and may even help to lower your blood pressure.  I have known this for years, and I am not going to go down the road so many of my acquaintances have gone to having severe muscular issues including death, from them taking doctor prescribed Staten drugs to lower their cholesterol.  Like I say, I learned about sugar before 1975, but I still have convinced very few people of the dangers of eating refined sugar and especially in the case of High Fructose Corn Syrup.  For some reason or another, people will not believe anything unless some very well paid professional tells them.  And then of course, they are immediately on all the diabetes medications which is obviously the biggest rip-off in the medical industry.  They certainly do not want you to understand your problem and fix it on your own, they want you on these drugs for the rest of your life, which may not be very long.  It was not for some time after that, when I fully appreciated just how extensive this problem is, because they put sugar in everything, and if they advertise, "No Sugar Added", you better believe there is something worse than sugar in there, like Aspartame.  Of course, these days most people are finally catching on to the fact that anything prepared for you is not good for you, but they eat it anyway.  All the advertising is made on this Junk Food and it is especially aimed at the very young, so they get indoctrinated at a very early age.   Why is it we finally banned all that cigarette advertising but it is still OK to advertise Pop and other soft drinks??  It is a much greater problem, especially in America than smoking ever has been.  And that includes  smoking Marijuana, I might add, but they certainly do not want you to find out all the medical uses for marijuana, now, do they??

Sugar has gotten into everything.  Even McDonalds dips their French Fries in sugar water so they caramel up nicely when they hit the frier.   One of the worst prepared foodsn are the breads and bread products.  At one point I thought I was having some GERD issues when I ate pizza.  "No sugar there", I thought.  WRONG AGAIN, I finally figured out it is the crust for Pete's sake.  Now I eat all the pizza I want, I just scrape all the good stuff off the crust and leave the crust.  I suppose I could start eating the pie filling and leave the pie crust, but the pie is loaded with sugar as well.  I have pretty much given up every kind of dessert.  The first thing to go, was one of my most favorite of all snacks.  A carameled nut roll will put me out of commission for three days.  One of the LAST things to go, is a simple sandwich.  Needless to say, I Love bread.  What are the alternatives??  Sorry little boy, no bread, is the alternative.  I still buy ham and cheese, but I can not eat ham and cheese sandwiches.  But, of course, if I tell anyone else all these things they are absolutely certain I must be Gluten Intolerant.  One of the areas that I have not yet done much research is in the grains, but I do know we are ALL pretty much Gluten Intolerant.  It seems we were introduced to grains somewhat recently,  some say by aliens, who brought it to Earth for us to cultivate after the Great Deluge.  I am not opposed to this view, as they appear somewhat suddenly on the scene in Mesopotamia, along with animal husbandry.  One way or another, our bodies do not seem to handle certain foods very well.  Some foods are toxic, if not well cooked, like lentils.  This is actually a design plan by the plants themselves.  They really have no interest in animals eating them, except in a limited fashion to distribute their seeds.  An excerpt from Loren Cordain, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, "...Cereal grains (wheat, rye, barley, oats, corn, rice, sorghum etc)  and legumes (beans, lentils, peas, garbanzo beans, peanuts etc.) most typically have evolved toxic compounds to prevent predation."  Two major problems caused by consuming these toxins,  1.) Reduced natural insulin production resulting in Diabetes and 2.)  Joint inflammation, resulting in Arthritis.  How many people know this??  Try telling someone he has to stop eating beans and other lentils; all of the above mentioned grains, especially wheat; and add to that the entire Nightshade family, (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  I can almost guarantee you no one will take your advice.

A Country Of the Politicians, By the Politicians and For the Politicians

For some time I have been wanting to do a BLOG on the people who make the rules to fit their personal ambitions and somehow expect the rest of us to blindly follow, like sheep to the slaughter.  This of course, does not limit the scope of this discussion to Politicians, as the title implies.  It includes all those independent companies and individuals, especially those with enough money to buy their influence and thereunto, the laws they wish implemented.

Yes, this is primarily aimed at all the politicians, who are, largely, lawyers themselves.  All  the CEOs of all the large Corporations, all the Bankers and Lawyers, and yes, to a lesser extent, the Doctors and Teachers and Law Enforcement, for, whereas, at least they do provide a certain service that we do need, have largely bought into this system that has been taken over from a country that was designed to be a government of the people, for the people and by the people to one that is there for big money and the average man has very little to say about it.

A really good modern day example of how this system now works, let us take the recently enacted Affordable Health Care Act.  A lot of you are probably under the belief the Republicans fought tooth and nail to get it blocked, while the Democrats jammed it down their throats, however, they are just as complicit as their supposed foes on Capitol Hill.  In fact, most of what is wrong with the law was placed their by the Republican Leaders, before they would sign on to it in a "JOINT" effort to finally do something about the Healthcare system in this country.  It is hard to find any individuals who think they got a good deal here.  Those who still think it is a system worth keeping are in the healthcarre industry itself, and of course the Insurance Companies are eating it up.

Insurance has long been the root of all evil perpetrated against the American public.  They were the first to get laws implemented that said every individual has to have insurance, starting with Car Insurance and now with Health Insurance as well.  Any economics professor would be quick to acknowledge that the Insurance business is the greatest example of Corporate "Skimming" that has ever existed.  ALL people in the Insurance business make their living at the expense of the average guy who thinks he can not live without insurance.  On the contrary, if he simply put every dime into a simple Savings Account, that he now pays for Insurance premiums, he would have no trouble at all paying for the services that insurance supposedly covers.

A better example may be the TARP program, that bailed out the banks a few years ago.  Most people in America are under the mistaken belief that the banks have long since paid off their debt and TARP is history.  The facts reveal that the bankers are still reaping huge profits from that program and the "help" it supposedly gave to homeowners trying to keep their homes has been pretty much missing from the equation.  How many people do you know who have actually had their mortgages rewritten as a result of the TARP program??  Here again, it was George W. Bush who called both major presidential candidates into his office prior to the election in 2008 to "advise" them of the consequenses of either bailing out the banks, or not doing so.  Whichever one was elected, was expected to carry out the policy instigated by George W. Bush, which Barack Obama did, so both Democrats and Republicans perpetrated this evil against the American public.
