"It ain't what you don't know that will hurt you;
it's what you know that ain't so."
-- Ambrose Bierce.
We all think we know a great many things about the world.
Many -- perhaps most --
of the things we think we know are not true.
Many of those false things we think we know are true we find
very,
very hard to question.
Here are some assertions made by researchers during the past 15 years or so.
I have read all of these. There appears to be much evidence to support all of these allegations.They may be shocking to you. They will all shock someone -- including other "experts. " Many people will feel strongly that these assertions must be wrong, since they contradict long- and strongly-held convictions. Many people will feel so strongly on these
subjects, that they wi ll be unable to look at the evidence fairly
and decide the truth or falsehood of the statements upon the strength of the evidence alone.
Thinking seriously about these assertions will help you recognized that your view
of the world is based upon many preconceived ideas" and convictions which may,
in fact, be seriously wrong. It will show you how hard it is to seriously question one's own preconceived ideas. Therefore, it should show you how important it
is to question your own ideas.
1. The Jesus Christ of history was a communist, a revolutionary, and a rebel against
the Jewish upper classes and against the Romans. His brother James succeeded him and actually led the great Jewish uprising of 66 - 73 A.D. in its early stages. Jesus had no interest in non-Jews, and certainly never thought he was God. (S.G.F. Brandon, The Trial
of Jesus of Nazareth.)
2. Joan of Are was not a poor peasant girl, but a royal princess. She was not burnt at the stake in 1431, but survived for about 10 years after that. A member of the French royal family set up the whole deception to rally support behind the French ki ng in the war
against the English. (Florence Maquart, Jehanne la Pucelle).
3. Benjamin Franklin was a double agent who passed secrets of the American revolutionary government to the British while he was ambassador to France during the American revolution.
(Richard Deacon, "Famous British Historian Claims Benjamin Franklin Was A British Spy,"
Argosy, July 1970)
4. Nathan Hale was a war criminal who was hanged by the British in September, 1776, for engaging in a plot to burn down the city of New-York. (Thomas Fleming, "The True
Story of Nathan Hale," New York Magazine, July 1976.)
5. British and U.S. government officials deliberately set up the U.S. passenger ship "Lusitania" to be sunk by the Germans in 1915, in order to prepare U.S. public opinion for entering the war
on the side of Great Britain.
(Colin Simpson, The Lusitania)
6. In 1933 the head of the American Legion and a representative of the banking firm of J.P. Morgan and Sons approached a retired Marine Corp General, General S. P. Butler, to ask him to lead a fascist coup, or military seizure of power, against Presi dent Franklin Roosevelt.
(Jules Archer, The Plot to Seize the White House)
7. President Franklin Roosevelt deliberately set out to force Japan to declare war on the U.S. in 1941, and left Pearl Harbor undefended even though his Administration, and probably Roosevelt himself, knew of the attack days before it took place. (John Toland, Infamy, and many
other books.)
8. The Tsar of Russia and his family were not executed in 1918 by the Communists during the Civil War that took place after the Russian Revolution. The story that they had done so was spread by anti-Communist "white" Russian forgeries in an attempt to try to make their enemies look bad. (Somers and Mangold, The File on the Tsar)
9. The United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, in August, 1945 to intimidate the U.S.S.R. and to insure that the Soviets took no part in the occupation
of Japan. James Byrnes, Pres. Truman's Secretary of War, revealed this in his memoirs, and he is only one of many who did. The U.S. population was told the bombs were dropped to "save hundreds of thousands of U.S. casualties" which an invasion of Japan would cost. But Japan
was negotiating for peace as early as June, 1945, and, many experts believe, would have surrendered shortly without the A-bomb. Thus, there was no military necessity at all for the A-bomb attack against civilians. (Gar Alperowitz, Atomic Diplomacy, revised edition)
10. It was the pro-U.S. South Koreans that invaded Communist North: Korea in June, 1950, not the North that invaded the South.
(K. Gupta, in China Quarterly, 1972.)
11. The United States Central Intelligence Agency (C.I.A.) and anti-communist Cuban exiles were involved in the assassination of President Kennedy in November, 1963. Lee Harvey Oswald worked with them, rather than with the Russians.
(Anthony Summers, Conspiracy)
12. Most of the 5000 or more civilian non-combatants killed in the Vietnamese city of Hue during the 'Tot' offensive in February, 1968, were killed by U.S. bombs and artillery,
rather than by the "Viet Cong as reported in the 1984 PBS television series and in many books. (D.Gareth Porter, "The Myth of the Hue Massacre," Indochina Studies, 1974; reprinted
in Congressional Record, 1976.)
13. According to a U.S. army colonel and military historian, the U.S. withdrew from Vietnam in the early 1970's because the American soldiers simply wouldn't obey orders; rebelled; shot their officers; and generally refused to fight the Viet Cong. (Col. Robert Debs Heinl, "The Collapse of the Armed Forces," Armed Forces Journal, June, 1971.)
14. There is much evidence that Korean Air Lines (KAL) flight 007, shot down in September, 1983 over the eastern Soviet Union by Soviet fighters with a loss of 269 lives, was in fact being used by either the U.S. or South Korea (or both)
for spying. (David Pearson, in August 1984 and August 1985 issues of The Nation)

will we lose faith just because some person.. talks about this..and refutes this idea? ..really..
we must learn that THESE are only people of our time..
not people who were lived at the past.. we really dont know what happened in Jesus' time unless someone would device a travel machine.. coz who knows..
it might have been all lies.. but who are we to tell...
have we witnessed it.. no!!... so maybe..
thats what really happened..soo what?? as a matter of fact i believe that Jesus was a revolutionist..
but not on the sense of what it stated in that article..
he was a religious revolutionist but we cannot further say that He didnt think that he will become a God ..because its He who is already thinking.. besides during his liftime.. he actually KNEW he wasnt God..
because He believed that He was,still is and forever
will be Son of God // 9/28/2005 04:42:00 PM Title:uncyclopedia and political matters http://uncyclopedia.org

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Saturday, September 24, 2005 // 9/24/2005 04:46:00 PM Title:J Does your name begin with: J -You are blessed with a great deal of physical energy. When used for a good cause there is nothing to stop you, except maybe that they aren't always used for the good. (you could danced all night.) You respond to the thrill of the chase and the challenge of the mating game. You can carry on great romances in your head. At heart you are a roamer and need to set out on your own every so often. You will carry on long-distance relationships with ease. You are idealistic and need to believe in love. You have a need to be nurtured deep within.
romantic?? well maybe i am...
how pity
im a piscean which is a sign for sensitive people needing a lot of care

wasgood..
i have money na kc
im still having problems with starting a life without a cellphone again..
but well yesterday wasnt really boring
no it wasnt at all..
because of everything that happened in congress..
the activists from our school marched from AS to Batasan..
thats wwwwwaaaaaayyyyy long a distance
but anyways i saw atom on that rally..
i was there on the jeepney stop near FC..
and there he was..
haha
but the thing is that scene became funny..
there was this two girls running and they were like
girl1: sama na tayo sa rally!
girl2: ang layo. what if sumakay muna tayo ng philcoa
girl1:oh cge
girl2:yes makikita ko si atom.ang cute cute ni atom
and damn was i like what??
crazy..
i was able to hold my laugh
coz it was nakakatawa naman talaga..
akalain mo you would go to a rally just to be able to see atom araullo
pero kami we see him everytime we go to AS even though he isnt a freshman na..
and from what ive heard hes from CS..
kaya ayon talagang pumunta yung 2 girls sa batasan..
nung papunta pala ako sa fc
Jesus Lord!!!
tamang tama nung dumaan ako ng AS nag-uumpisa na yung rally..
and the thing i hated was there were cameras all around
(i have nothing against student-activists.i respect their opinions and their behaviour.besides i like them because they fight for what they believe in)
naku..
then..
after all that jazz..tsk..tsk..
i watched 'life is beautiful'
i still love this movie..
it still makes me laugh,cringe,smile,cry..uuurrrgghh
it still has the same magic it has done to me the first,second,third,fourth and fifth time i saw it..
but still i was craving for more of it..
enough
haha
anyways after that hindi ako pumasok sa bio1
nakakainis kasi yung reporting eh
wala lng
kaya dumiretso ako sa AS where i crossed path with nestor david..
and damn was he tall..
at first i didnt recognize him..
i was like 'this guy looks familiar' and he had a smile plastered on his face..
he looks more approachable in person than in the TV screen
and nung dumaan na talaga siya..
his perfume was like gosh grabe.. baka nauubos niya ang isang bottle everyday
pero in fairness mabango..
at least
oh well......

nothing to prove
and it's you and me
and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you
there's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
everything she does is beautiful
everything she does is right
you and me and
all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to lose
and it's you and me
and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you
you and me
and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to prove
and it's you and me
and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you
