==Wiki Goal==&lt;br /&gt;
This [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki Wiki] aims to become the definitive resource of all known English-language translations of information originally in German produced by [[Eduard Albert Meier|Billy Meier]] (pictured top-left corner).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another goal is the education of mankind in the truth about our origin, ourselves, our world, our future and the universe, both spiritual (fine-matter) and material (coarse-matter).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Participation By All English Language Readers==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All are encouraged to contribute and collaborate here. Please also read [[Contributing Content]], [[How can I help?]] and most definitely [[The_mission|Billy&#039;s mission]].&lt;br /&gt;

In the last couple of days running the IRC channel I noticed that a lot of people had problems joining the channel, despite the extensive description. I therefore decided to set up an online IRC client which will directly connect you to the chat, only thing you need to do is enter your &#039;Nickname&#039; and click &#039;connect&#039; (Sorry, I really can&#039;t make it easier than that! =P).&lt;br /&gt;
This is not a flash chat room; the goal is to discuss the Meier Case or anything else appropriate. If interested you are very welcome to join.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Go to [http://www.c0mmand.co.uk/FutureOfMankind/chatIRC/irc.html chat]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==17th March 2010==&lt;br /&gt;
Due to unfortunate closing down of the previous chat room (see announcement of 15 March 2010 by James) I have taken the liberty to create a new Channel for us all. You will need to use an IRC client or just connect through a website that supports that function.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You will need the following information to connect to the chatroom:&lt;br /&gt;
Server: irc.freenode.net (port: 6667)&lt;br /&gt;
channel: #FutureOfMankind&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or use this direct [irc://irc.freenode.net:6667/FutureOfMankind link] (irc://irc.freenode.net:6667/FutureOfMankind)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that IRC is totally free and you can download different clients from the internet. The most popular is [http://www.mirc.com/ mIRC], but there are a lot of others which you can see a list and comparison of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_Relay_Chat_clients here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you use Firefox as your browser you are also able to download an add-on called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16 ChatZilla] (also free) and chat through your browser by using the information stated above or by simply clicking [irc://irc.freenode.net:6667/FutureOfMankind here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hopefully I gave enough information and discription on how to join the chat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Ravi&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

The web hosting subscription for this web site has been renewed for another year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our new chat room was against the terms and conditions of the host (hostpapa.co.uk). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are trialling a new one at PalTalk.com which you can log into [http://express.paltalk.com/index.html?gid=1332479424 by clicking here]. You will need to register first but its free.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately it closes when the last person leaves the room and then presumably it won&#039;t reopen until one of the admins re-enters it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

# StubManager&lt;br /&gt;

This means that comments can now be easily added for any page/article using a form that appears at the bottom of every page. Comments appear on the &#039;&#039;Discussion&#039;&#039; tab for each page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Installed the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Collection Collection] extension which allows anyone to create and manage their individual selection of wiki pages. Selected wiki pages can be converted into pdf format for offline reading. Great for those lates nights in a cozy bed, or lunch times with restricted Internet access!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See [[Help:Collections]] for more information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please don&#039;t abuse the extension because it uses a pdf convertor server that is meant for low traffic wiki&#039;s such as this one. &#039;&#039;Low&#039;&#039; is a relative word. More about the pdf server can be read [http://code.pediapress.com/wiki/wiki/ToolServer here]. I hope we do not get blacklisted by the pdf server administrators.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==3rd May 2009==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Edited all contact reports to achieve the following goals:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Inserted one of three templates to signify whether they were official and authorised by FIGU, or unofficial/authorised or unofficial and unauthorised.&lt;br /&gt;
* Inserted a template for all gaiaguys&#039; translations to refer the reader to information about the accuracy of the translations and other related information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ensured that the source section was called Source rather than References or any other word.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ensured that all links led somewhere valid.&lt;br /&gt;
* Categorise the contact report. See [[Special:Categories]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I also unprotected all pages as it is unnecessary to lock / protect pages because changes can be easily rolled back anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==8th April 2009==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Added [[Petition Distribution]] to the left-hand navigation menu. We will use this new topic to record the details of those to whom we send the humane birth stop petition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are reading this and haven&#039;t signed the [[Special:Petition|petition]] then please read the it and sign it if you agree that overpopulation really is the root cause of the world&#039;s ills.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==3rd March 2009==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Added a new way of managing the &#039;&#039;Quote of the Day&#039;&#039; section on the front page. I have installed the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RandomInclude RandomInclude] MediaWiki extension.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now all that needs to be updated is the [[Template:QuotesFromBillyMeier]] page ensuring that each quote is a single paragraph separated from the previous paragraph by four dashes and a new line. A random paragraph or quote is then displayed on the main page. For the main page to actually display a new paragraph or quote, each and every day, the main page needs to be edited with a simple Edit then Save action, every day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This &#039;&#039;random quote&#039;&#039; feature can now be easily inserted into any page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==28th February 2009==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Updated [[Petition For Controlled Birth Stop (In Farsi)|Farsi version]] of Birth Stop Petition with a new version from Zhila. I used Open Office 3.0 to export Zhila&#039;s original Word document of the petition as MediaWiki markup (Open Office can export in MediaWiki markup).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Added [[Petition For Controlled Birth Stop (In Deutsch)|Deutsch version]] provided by Adam.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Added [[Dekalog Dodekalog]] and [[Creation&#039;s Love]].&lt;br /&gt;

Added translations of pages 472 to 478 of [[Contact Report 228]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Happy new year to all of us. Lets hope some real and significant positive progress is made towards achieving global awareness of the overpopulation issue which is the root of all evil (it is not money).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;James&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Migrated database to a new database server so hopefully there will be less &amp;quot;server error 500&amp;quot; messages appearing on screen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== 20th December 2008 ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Added a [[Special:Guestbook|guest book]] for visitors to sign if they like.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve also started work on a petition to support the call for a global controlled birth stop in an attempt to encourage mankind to take the easier path towards living within the natural laws of Creation and reduce the population of the planet to less than 529,000,000 which is the natural predetermined number of humans our planet is designed to support given the amount of arable land available. If we are successful, we will finally be able to make reality &#039;&#039;a world with a population of average proportions, where all ills, problems and misery become relatively small and normal. A world that is not ruled by hunger and misery. A world in which the fear of war, and all evil, are reduced to the point where the likelihood of a world-unifying peace is actually feasible. This condition would bring about an end to the constant fear of the future and would pave the way to a life of love, logic and reason, among others. - Billy&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This petition was an idea that was sent to myself from a man called Adam, alias &#039;&#039;Phenix&#039;&#039; of the FIGU Forum USA.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can see the petition [[Special:Petition|here]], edit it [[Petition For Controlled Birth Stop|here]] and discuss it [[Talk:Petition For Controlled Birth Stop|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All pessimism is not welcome here.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve noticed that almost everytime I try to save a page I receive an &#039;&#039;Internal Server Error 500&#039;&#039; but the page saves correctly. This is annoying and am going to fix this. I just don&#039;t yet know how. I may have to move the website to another server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve also noticed that since enabling the page caching, the website has increased speed with regards to page downloads read errors have reduced but the visit count at the bottom of the pages is no longer working. There is no alternative but to use [[Website Statistics|Google Analytics]] to obtain an accurate report of visitor data.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Added the [[Roadmap]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;James&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Inserted [[Contact_Report_230#Contact_Report_230_Part_2|Contact Report 230 Part 2]] (and shifted the subsequent parts downwards). It&#039;s nice to hear that the Loch Ness monster is alive and has a family. Well at least it was in 1989 and probably still is if its track record of surviving is logical evidence of its survival skills.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
gaiaguys have kindly translated more of [[FIGU Special Bulletin 44]] and so I&#039;ve uploaded the translated passage which is called [[FIGU_Special_Bulletin_44#UFO_Observation|UFO Observation]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Recently, an extract of [[Contact Report 35]] was copied from the book [[Message from the Pleiades, Volume 1]] and added to this Wiki. It concerns an inhabited planet only 5 light years from Earth where the inhabitants are more advanced than us and actually visit Earth for collection of foodstuffs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve also converted gaiaguys&#039; translations of [[FIGU Special Bulletins]] [[FIGU Special Bulletin 30|30]] and [[FIGU Special Bulletin 31|31]] into Wiki format.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And finally I&#039;ve uploaded [[Articles from Magazines|4 old magazine articles]] kindly provided to the [http://forum.figu.org/us/messages/863/8867.html?1209926271#POST32950 FIGU English Forum] by Norm.&lt;br /&gt;

I have started to assign articles or pages to categories. You can see the current list of categories at [[Special:Categories]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The benefit of categories is that they provide automatic indexes that are useful as tables of contents. Together with links and templates they structure a project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside from this I have also added a new philosophical article called [[The Seven Steps of Education]].&lt;br /&gt;

[[Gilgamesh]] is an interesting being don&#039;t you think? Imagine the stories he can tell, just like [[Billy]], he must be a walking encyclopedia.&lt;br /&gt;

I have continued to expand the [[Meier Encyclopedia]] and also added some important questions to the [[Main_Page#Welcome_To_The_Future_Of_Mankind_-_A_Billy_Meier_Wiki|main page]]. Once this main page has been reindexed by Google it will attract more visitors from around the world who are using the Internet to try and find answers to these common questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The answers are of course here to a certain extent but can be found in greater detail within [[FIGU]]&#039;s library if sought.&lt;br /&gt;

Added all of Clemm&#039;s excellent translations from [http://clemmm.googlepages.com his website] and moved some existing articles into a new section entitled [[Philosophy, Spirituality and Meditation]] in order to clean up the [[Main Page|main page]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I realised that I need help expanding the [[Meier Encyclopedia]] which is interesting since it is both creative and informative. I&#039;ve not protected any of these articles yet. If anyone wants to help please just do it, you don&#039;t need my permission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[FIGU Special Bulletins]] from the [http://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/meier/gaiaguys/Meier.htm gaiaguys.net (backup copy)] also need adding too.&lt;br /&gt;

I could enable avi, mpeg and wmv uploads however I recently downgraded the web hosting package due to financial difficulties and recent hosting renewal which means I no longer have unlimited web space any longer. The limit is now 750 MB. I will re-upgrade soon enough. It only costs another GBP15 for the next year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Current usage is about 150MB.&lt;br /&gt;

Subject: Another man who is not afraid to speak the cold harsh truth&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Dear George,&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I am an admirer of your work who would like to inform you about another man like yourself who speaks the obvious truth in many matters of life on this Earth.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
His name is Eduard Albert Meier and he is a 71 year old Swiss farmer who has led a very interesting life indeed to say the least.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The main similarity that strikes me is what he says about the current political leadership of our world which rings the same notes as yourself. You can read what he said in 2003 at: http://www.theyfly.com/PDF/TotheStatesmeninPower.pdf&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For further information you are advised to start with www.theyfly.com and then www.figu.org and my own website www.futureofmankind.co.uk. &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Mr Meier has not been proven to be a liar or deceiver thus far in over 50 years of his work.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You will require an open mind and some time. I have no desire to convince you of anything in particular. I only wanted to give you an opportunity to see this information and possibly use it in some way in your work. I would be interested to hear any opinion you may have of course though.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Yours sincerely&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

You can see how George speaks plain truth at http://www.georgegalloway.com/page.php?page=content/video.html&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He&#039;s a very refreshing MP to say the least and we need more people like him in power.&lt;br /&gt;

Dear James,&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Your request was forwarded to us. I&#039;m sorry for the delay.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last week I&#039;ve shown paperprints of your website to Billy. Even though he did not read the content he is not against your work or, in other words, you can continue with your work in favour of the Billy Meier case.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However, English translations from Billy&#039;s and FIGU&#039;s texts done by FIGU members will be published via  http://us.figu.org.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you and best regards,&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yesterday the website went down because my ISP decided to upgrade the version of PHP to version 5.2.3. I have now upgraded the version of MediaWiki from 1.6.10 to 1.11.2. This seems to have fixed it. Release notes are [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Important_Release_Notes here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve decided to use this [[Current events]] section for keeping track of the changes made to this website from now on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tonight I inserted the translation of pages 397 to 402 of volume 6 of the [[Contact Reports]] which was [[Contact Report 238]]. It concerned a prediction that Ptaah made of an impending discovery of a mummy of so-called the &#039;&#039;Iceman&#039;&#039;, high in the Austrian Alps in 1991. But even more important than Meier&#039;s having first published the information about the discovery, in May of 1991, months before it occurred, is the irrefutable fact that he published specific information about exactly how the man died ten years before scientists discovered it using modern CT scan equipment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The translation and above description was taken from [http://www.theyfly.com/newsflash91/5100_year_old_man.htm TheyFly.com].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Hi James Moore,&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Your email was forwarded to Christian Frehner of the Core Group.  He is aware of your website but he doesn&#039;t know if Billy is.  He says your website will have to be discussed at the next meeting of the CG49.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
I will let you know as soon as we get a response.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In the last couple of days running the IRC channel I noticed that a lot of people had problems joining the channel, despite the extensive description. I therefore decided to set up an online IRC client which will directly connect you to the chat, only thing you need to do is enter your &#039;Nickname&#039; and click &#039;connect&#039; (Sorry, I really can&#039;t make it easier than that! =P).&lt;br /&gt;
This is not a flash chat room; the goal is to discuss the Meier Case or anything else appropriate. If interested you are very welcome to join.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Go to [http://www.c0mmand.co.uk/FutureOfMankind/chatIRC/irc.html chat]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==17th March 2010==&lt;br /&gt;
Due to unfortunate closing down of the previous chat room (see announcement of 15 March 2010 by James) I have taken the liberty to create a new Channel for us all. You will need to use an IRC client or just connect through a website that supports that function.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You will need the following information to connect to the chatroom:&lt;br /&gt;
Server: irc.freenode.net (port: 6667)&lt;br /&gt;
channel: #FutureOfMankind&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or use this direct [irc://irc.freenode.net:6667/FutureOfMankind link] (irc://irc.freenode.net:6667/FutureOfMankind)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that IRC is totally free and you can download different clients from the internet. The most popular is [http://www.mirc.com/ mIRC], but there are a lot of others which you can see a list and comparison of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_Relay_Chat_clients here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you use Firefox as your browser you are also able to download an add-on called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16 ChatZilla] (also free) and chat through your browser by using the information stated above or by simply clicking [irc://irc.freenode.net:6667/FutureOfMankind here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hopefully I gave enough information and discription on how to join the chat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Ravi&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

The web hosting subscription for this web site has been renewed for another year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our new chat room was against the terms and conditions of the host (hostpapa.co.uk). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are trialling a new one at PalTalk.com which you can log into [http://express.paltalk.com/index.html?gid=1332479424 by clicking here]. You will need to register first but its free.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately it closes when the last person leaves the room and then presumably it won&#039;t reopen until one of the admins re-enters it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

# StubManager&lt;br /&gt;

This means that comments can now be easily added for any page/article using a form that appears at the bottom of every page. Comments appear on the &#039;&#039;Discussion&#039;&#039; tab for each page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Installed the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Collection Collection] extension which allows anyone to create and manage their individual selection of wiki pages. Selected wiki pages can be converted into pdf format for offline reading. Great for those lates nights in a cozy bed, or lunch times with restricted Internet access!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See [[Help:Collections]] for more information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please don&#039;t abuse the extension because it uses a pdf convertor server that is meant for low traffic wiki&#039;s such as this one. &#039;&#039;Low&#039;&#039; is a relative word. More about the pdf server can be read [http://code.pediapress.com/wiki/wiki/ToolServer here]. I hope we do not get blacklisted by the pdf server administrators.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==3rd May 2009==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Edited all contact reports to achieve the following goals:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Inserted one of three templates to signify whether they were official and authorised by FIGU, or unofficial/authorised or unofficial and unauthorised.&lt;br /&gt;
* Inserted a template for all gaiaguys&#039; translations to refer the reader to information about the accuracy of the translations and other related information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ensured that the source section was called Source rather than References or any other word.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ensured that all links led somewhere valid.&lt;br /&gt;
* Categorise the contact report. See [[Special:Categories]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I also unprotected all pages as it is unnecessary to lock / protect pages because changes can be easily rolled back anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==8th April 2009==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Added [[Petition Distribution]] to the left-hand navigation menu. We will use this new topic to record the details of those to whom we send the humane birth stop petition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are reading this and haven&#039;t signed the [[Special:Petition|petition]] then please read the it and sign it if you agree that overpopulation really is the root cause of the world&#039;s ills.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==3rd March 2009==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Added a new way of managing the &#039;&#039;Quote of the Day&#039;&#039; section on the front page. I have installed the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RandomInclude RandomInclude] MediaWiki extension.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now all that needs to be updated is the [[Template:QuotesFromBillyMeier]] page ensuring that each quote is a single paragraph separated from the previous paragraph by four dashes and a new line. A random paragraph or quote is then displayed on the main page. For the main page to actually display a new paragraph or quote, each and every day, the main page needs to be edited with a simple Edit then Save action, every day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This &#039;&#039;random quote&#039;&#039; feature can now be easily inserted into any page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==28th February 2009==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Updated [[Petition For Controlled Birth Stop (In Farsi)|Farsi version]] of Birth Stop Petition with a new version from Zhila. I used Open Office 3.0 to export Zhila&#039;s original Word document of the petition as MediaWiki markup (Open Office can export in MediaWiki markup).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Added [[Petition For Controlled Birth Stop (In Deutsch)|Deutsch version]] provided by Adam.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Added [[Dekalog Dodekalog]] and [[Creation&#039;s Love]].&lt;br /&gt;

Added translations of pages 472 to 478 of [[Contact Report 228]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Happy new year to all of us. Lets hope some real and significant positive progress is made towards achieving global awareness of the overpopulation issue which is the root of all evil (it is not money).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;James&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Migrated database to a new database server so hopefully there will be less &amp;quot;server error 500&amp;quot; messages appearing on screen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== 20th December 2008 ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Added a [[Special:Guestbook|guest book]] for visitors to sign if they like.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve also started work on a petition to support the call for a global controlled birth stop in an attempt to encourage mankind to take the easier path towards living within the natural laws of Creation and reduce the population of the planet to less than 529,000,000 which is the natural predetermined number of humans our planet is designed to support given the amount of arable land available. If we are successful, we will finally be able to make reality &#039;&#039;a world with a population of average proportions, where all ills, problems and misery become relatively small and normal. A world that is not ruled by hunger and misery. A world in which the fear of war, and all evil, are reduced to the point where the likelihood of a world-unifying peace is actually feasible. This condition would bring about an end to the constant fear of the future and would pave the way to a life of love, logic and reason, among others. - Billy&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This petition was an idea that was sent to myself from a man called Adam, alias &#039;&#039;Phenix&#039;&#039; of the FIGU Forum USA.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can see the petition [[Special:Petition|here]], edit it [[Petition For Controlled Birth Stop|here]] and discuss it [[Talk:Petition For Controlled Birth Stop|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All pessimism is not welcome here.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve noticed that almost everytime I try to save a page I receive an &#039;&#039;Internal Server Error 500&#039;&#039; but the page saves correctly. This is annoying and am going to fix this. I just don&#039;t yet know how. I may have to move the website to another server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve also noticed that since enabling the page caching, the website has increased speed with regards to page downloads read errors have reduced but the visit count at the bottom of the pages is no longer working. There is no alternative but to use [[Website Statistics|Google Analytics]] to obtain an accurate report of visitor data.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Added the [[Roadmap]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;James&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Inserted [[Contact_Report_230#Contact_Report_230_Part_2|Contact Report 230 Part 2]] (and shifted the subsequent parts downwards). It&#039;s nice to hear that the Loch Ness monster is alive and has a family. Well at least it was in 1989 and probably still is if its track record of surviving is logical evidence of its survival skills.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
gaiaguys have kindly translated more of [[FIGU Special Bulletin 44]] and so I&#039;ve uploaded the translated passage which is called [[FIGU_Special_Bulletin_44#UFO_Observation|UFO Observation]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Recently, an extract of [[Contact Report 35]] was copied from the book [[Message from the Pleiades, Volume 1]] and added to this Wiki. It concerns an inhabited planet only 5 light years from Earth where the inhabitants are more advanced than us and actually visit Earth for collection of foodstuffs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve also converted gaiaguys&#039; translations of [[FIGU Special Bulletins]] [[FIGU Special Bulletin 30|30]] and [[FIGU Special Bulletin 31|31]] into Wiki format.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And finally I&#039;ve uploaded [[Articles from Magazines|4 old magazine articles]] kindly provided to the [http://forum.figu.org/us/messages/863/8867.html?1209926271#POST32950 FIGU English Forum] by Norm.&lt;br /&gt;

I have started to assign articles or pages to categories. You can see the current list of categories at [[Special:Categories]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The benefit of categories is that they provide automatic indexes that are useful as tables of contents. Together with links and templates they structure a project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside from this I have also added a new philosophical article called [[The Seven Steps of Education]].&lt;br /&gt;

[[Gilgamesh]] is an interesting being don&#039;t you think? Imagine the stories he can tell, just like [[Billy]], he must be a walking encyclopedia.&lt;br /&gt;

I have continued to expand the [[Meier Encyclopedia]] and also added some important questions to the [[Main_Page#Welcome_To_The_Future_Of_Mankind_-_A_Billy_Meier_Wiki|main page]]. Once this main page has been reindexed by Google it will attract more visitors from around the world who are using the Internet to try and find answers to these common questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The answers are of course here to a certain extent but can be found in greater detail within [[FIGU]]&#039;s library if sought.&lt;br /&gt;

Added all of Clemm&#039;s excellent translations from [http://clemmm.googlepages.com his website] and moved some existing articles into a new section entitled [[Philosophy, Spirituality and Meditation]] in order to clean up the [[Main Page|main page]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I realised that I need help expanding the [[Meier Encyclopedia]] which is interesting since it is both creative and informative. I&#039;ve not protected any of these articles yet. If anyone wants to help please just do it, you don&#039;t need my permission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[FIGU Special Bulletins]] from the [http://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/meier/gaiaguys/Meier.htm gaiaguys.net (backup copy)] also need adding too.&lt;br /&gt;

I could enable avi, mpeg and wmv uploads however I recently downgraded the web hosting package due to financial difficulties and recent hosting renewal which means I no longer have unlimited web space any longer. The limit is now 750 MB. I will re-upgrade soon enough. It only costs another GBP15 for the next year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Current usage is about 150MB.&lt;br /&gt;

Subject: Another man who is not afraid to speak the cold harsh truth&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Dear George,&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I am an admirer of your work who would like to inform you about another man like yourself who speaks the obvious truth in many matters of life on this Earth.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
His name is Eduard Albert Meier and he is a 71 year old Swiss farmer who has led a very interesting life indeed to say the least.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The main similarity that strikes me is what he says about the current political leadership of our world which rings the same notes as yourself. You can read what he said in 2003 at: http://www.theyfly.com/PDF/TotheStatesmeninPower.pdf&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For further information you are advised to start with www.theyfly.com and then www.figu.org and my own website www.futureofmankind.co.uk. &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Mr Meier has not been proven to be a liar or deceiver thus far in over 50 years of his work.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You will require an open mind and some time. I have no desire to convince you of anything in particular. I only wanted to give you an opportunity to see this information and possibly use it in some way in your work. I would be interested to hear any opinion you may have of course though.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Yours sincerely&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

You can see how George speaks plain truth at http://www.georgegalloway.com/page.php?page=content/video.html&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He&#039;s a very refreshing MP to say the least and we need more people like him in power.&lt;br /&gt;

Dear James,&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Your request was forwarded to us. I&#039;m sorry for the delay.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last week I&#039;ve shown paperprints of your website to Billy. Even though he did not read the content he is not against your work or, in other words, you can continue with your work in favour of the Billy Meier case.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However, English translations from Billy&#039;s and FIGU&#039;s texts done by FIGU members will be published via  http://us.figu.org.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you and best regards,&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yesterday the website went down because my ISP decided to upgrade the version of PHP to version 5.2.3. I have now upgraded the version of MediaWiki from 1.6.10 to 1.11.2. This seems to have fixed it. Release notes are [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Important_Release_Notes here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve decided to use this [[Current events]] section for keeping track of the changes made to this website from now on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tonight I inserted the translation of pages 397 to 402 of volume 6 of the [[Contact Reports]] which was [[Contact Report 238]]. It concerned a prediction that Ptaah made of an impending discovery of a mummy of so-called the &#039;&#039;Iceman&#039;&#039;, high in the Austrian Alps in 1991. But even more important than Meier&#039;s having first published the information about the discovery, in May of 1991, months before it occurred, is the irrefutable fact that he published specific information about exactly how the man died ten years before scientists discovered it using modern CT scan equipment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The translation and above description was taken from [http://www.theyfly.com/newsflash91/5100_year_old_man.htm TheyFly.com].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Hi James Moore,&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Your email was forwarded to Christian Frehner of the Core Group.  He is aware of your website but he doesn&#039;t know if Billy is.  He says your website will have to be discussed at the next meeting of the CG49.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
I will let you know as soon as we get a response.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In the last couple of days running the IRC channel I noticed that a lot of people had problems joining the channel, despite the extensive description. I therefore decided to set up an online IRC client which will directly connect you to the chat, only thing you need to do is enter your &#039;Nickname&#039; and click &#039;connect&#039; (Sorry, I really can&#039;t make it easier than that! =P).&lt;br /&gt;
This is not a flash chat room; the goal is to discuss the Meier Case or anything else appropriate. If interested you are very welcome to join.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Go to [http://www.c0mmand.co.uk/FutureOfMankind/chatIRC/irc.html chat]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==17th March 2010==&lt;br /&gt;
Due to unfortunate closing down of the previous chat room (see announcement of 15 March 2010 by James) I have taken the liberty to create a new Channel for us all. You will need to use an IRC client or just connect through a website that supports that function.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You will need the following information to connect to the chatroom:&lt;br /&gt;
Server: irc.freenode.net (port: 6667)&lt;br /&gt;
channel: #FutureOfMankind&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or use this direct [irc://irc.freenode.net:6667/FutureOfMankind link] (irc://irc.freenode.net:6667/FutureOfMankind)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that IRC is totally free and you can download different clients from the internet. The most popular is [http://www.mirc.com/ mIRC], but there are a lot of others which you can see a list and comparison of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_Relay_Chat_clients here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you use Firefox as your browser you are also able to download an add-on called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16 ChatZilla] (also free) and chat through your browser by using the information stated above or by simply clicking [irc://irc.freenode.net:6667/FutureOfMankind here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hopefully I gave enough information and discription on how to join the chat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The web hosting subscription for this web site has been renewed for another year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our new chat room was against the terms and conditions of the host (hostpapa.co.uk). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are trialling a new one at PalTalk.com which you can log into [http://express.paltalk.com/index.html?gid=1332479424 by clicking here]. You will need to register first but its free.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately it closes when the last person leaves the room and then presumably it won&#039;t reopen until one of the admins re-enters it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

# StubManager&lt;br /&gt;

This means that comments can now be easily added for any page/article using a form that appears at the bottom of every page. Comments appear on the &#039;&#039;Discussion&#039;&#039; tab for each page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All installed extensions and more information about them can read on the [[Special:Version]] page.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Installed the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Collection Collection] extension which allows anyone to create and manage their individual selection of wiki pages. Selected wiki pages can be converted into pdf format for offline reading. Great for those lates nights in a cozy bed, or lunch times with restricted Internet access!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See [[Help:Collections]] for more information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please don&#039;t abuse the extension because it uses a pdf convertor server that is meant for low traffic wiki&#039;s such as this one. &#039;&#039;Low&#039;&#039; is a relative word. More about the pdf server can be read [http://code.pediapress.com/wiki/wiki/ToolServer here]. I hope we do not get blacklisted by the pdf server administrators.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==3rd May 2009==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Edited all contact reports to achieve the following goals:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Inserted one of three templates to signify whether they were official and authorised by FIGU, or unofficial/authorised or unofficial and unauthorised.&lt;br /&gt;
* Inserted a template for all gaiaguys&#039; translations to refer the reader to information about the accuracy of the translations and other related information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ensured that the source section was called Source rather than References or any other word.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ensured that all links led somewhere valid.&lt;br /&gt;
* Categorise the contact report. See [[Special:Categories]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I also unprotected all pages as it is unnecessary to lock / protect pages because changes can be easily rolled back anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==8th April 2009==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Added [[Petition Distribution]] to the left-hand navigation menu. We will use this new topic to record the details of those to whom we send the humane birth stop petition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are reading this and haven&#039;t signed the [[Special:Petition|petition]] then please read the it and sign it if you agree that overpopulation really is the root cause of the world&#039;s ills.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==3rd March 2009==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Added a new way of managing the &#039;&#039;Quote of the Day&#039;&#039; section on the front page. I have installed the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RandomInclude RandomInclude] MediaWiki extension.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now all that needs to be updated is the [[Template:QuotesFromBillyMeier]] page ensuring that each quote is a single paragraph separated from the previous paragraph by four dashes and a new line. A random paragraph or quote is then displayed on the main page. For the main page to actually display a new paragraph or quote, each and every day, the main page needs to be edited with a simple Edit then Save action, every day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This &#039;&#039;random quote&#039;&#039; feature can now be easily inserted into any page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==28th February 2009==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Updated [[Petition For Controlled Birth Stop (In Farsi)|Farsi version]] of Birth Stop Petition with a new version from Zhila. I used Open Office 3.0 to export Zhila&#039;s original Word document of the petition as MediaWiki markup (Open Office can export in MediaWiki markup).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Added [[Petition For Controlled Birth Stop (In Deutsch)|Deutsch version]] provided by Adam.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Added [[Dekalog Dodekalog]] and [[Creation&#039;s Love]].&lt;br /&gt;

Added translations of pages 472 to 478 of [[Contact Report 228]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Happy new year to all of us. Lets hope some real and significant positive progress is made towards achieving global awareness of the overpopulation issue which is the root of all evil (it is not money).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;James&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Migrated database to a new database server so hopefully there will be less &amp;quot;server error 500&amp;quot; messages appearing on screen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== 20th December 2008 ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Added a [[Special:Guestbook|guest book]] for visitors to sign if they like.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve also started work on a petition to support the call for a global controlled birth stop in an attempt to encourage mankind to take the easier path towards living within the natural laws of Creation and reduce the population of the planet to less than 529,000,000 which is the natural predetermined number of humans our planet is designed to support given the amount of arable land available. If we are successful, we will finally be able to make reality &#039;&#039;a world with a population of average proportions, where all ills, problems and misery become relatively small and normal. A world that is not ruled by hunger and misery. A world in which the fear of war, and all evil, are reduced to the point where the likelihood of a world-unifying peace is actually feasible. This condition would bring about an end to the constant fear of the future and would pave the way to a life of love, logic and reason, among others. - Billy&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This petition was an idea that was sent to myself from a man called Adam, alias &#039;&#039;Phenix&#039;&#039; of the FIGU Forum USA.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can see the petition [[Special:Petition|here]], edit it [[Petition For Controlled Birth Stop|here]] and discuss it [[Talk:Petition For Controlled Birth Stop|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All pessimism is not welcome here.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve noticed that almost everytime I try to save a page I receive an &#039;&#039;Internal Server Error 500&#039;&#039; but the page saves correctly. This is annoying and am going to fix this. I just don&#039;t yet know how. I may have to move the website to another server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve also noticed that since enabling the page caching, the website has increased speed with regards to page downloads read errors have reduced but the visit count at the bottom of the pages is no longer working. There is no alternative but to use [[Website Statistics|Google Analytics]] to obtain an accurate report of visitor data.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Added the [[Roadmap]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;James&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Inserted [[Contact_Report_230#Contact_Report_230_Part_2|Contact Report 230 Part 2]] (and shifted the subsequent parts downwards). It&#039;s nice to hear that the Loch Ness monster is alive and has a family. Well at least it was in 1989 and probably still is if its track record of surviving is logical evidence of its survival skills.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
gaiaguys have kindly translated more of [[FIGU Special Bulletin 44]] and so I&#039;ve uploaded the translated passage which is called [[FIGU_Special_Bulletin_44#UFO_Observation|UFO Observation]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Recently, an extract of [[Contact Report 35]] was copied from the book [[Message from the Pleiades, Volume 1]] and added to this Wiki. It concerns an inhabited planet only 5 light years from Earth where the inhabitants are more advanced than us and actually visit Earth for collection of foodstuffs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve also converted gaiaguys&#039; translations of [[FIGU Special Bulletins]] [[FIGU Special Bulletin 30|30]] and [[FIGU Special Bulletin 31|31]] into Wiki format.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And finally I&#039;ve uploaded [[Articles from Magazines|4 old magazine articles]] kindly provided to the [http://forum.figu.org/us/messages/863/8867.html?1209926271#POST32950 FIGU English Forum] by Norm.&lt;br /&gt;

I have started to assign articles or pages to categories. You can see the current list of categories at [[Special:Categories]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The benefit of categories is that they provide automatic indexes that are useful as tables of contents. Together with links and templates they structure a project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside from this I have also added a new philosophical article called [[The Seven Steps of Education]].&lt;br /&gt;

[[Gilgamesh]] is an interesting being don&#039;t you think? Imagine the stories he can tell, just like [[Billy]], he must be a walking encyclopedia.&lt;br /&gt;

I have continued to expand the [[Meier Encyclopedia]] and also added some important questions to the [[Main_Page#Welcome_To_The_Future_Of_Mankind_-_A_Billy_Meier_Wiki|main page]]. Once this main page has been reindexed by Google it will attract more visitors from around the world who are using the Internet to try and find answers to these common questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The answers are of course here to a certain extent but can be found in greater detail within [[FIGU]]&#039;s library if sought.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Predictions of the Prophet Jeremia]].&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Predictions of the Prophet Elia]].&lt;br /&gt;
* A new section entitled [[Prophecies and Predictions]] and grouped relevant articles there.&lt;br /&gt;

Added all of Clemm&#039;s excellent translations from [http://clemmm.googlepages.com his website] and moved some existing articles into a new section entitled [[Philosophy, Spirituality and Meditation]] in order to clean up the [[Main Page|main page]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I realised that I need help expanding the [[Meier Encyclopedia]] which is interesting since it is both creative and informative. I&#039;ve not protected any of these articles yet. If anyone wants to help please just do it, you don&#039;t need my permission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[FIGU Special Bulletins]] from the [http://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/meier/gaiaguys/Meier.htm gaiaguys.net (backup copy)] also need adding too.&lt;br /&gt;

I could enable avi, mpeg and wmv uploads however I recently downgraded the web hosting package due to financial difficulties and recent hosting renewal which means I no longer have unlimited web space any longer. The limit is now 750 MB. I will re-upgrade soon enough. It only costs another GBP15 for the next year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Current usage is about 150MB.&lt;br /&gt;

Subject: Another man who is not afraid to speak the cold harsh truth&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Dear George,&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I am an admirer of your work who would like to inform you about another man like yourself who speaks the obvious truth in many matters of life on this Earth.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
His name is Eduard Albert Meier and he is a 71 year old Swiss farmer who has led a very interesting life indeed to say the least.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The main similarity that strikes me is what he says about the current political leadership of our world which rings the same notes as yourself. You can read what he said in 2003 at: http://www.theyfly.com/PDF/TotheStatesmeninPower.pdf&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For further information you are advised to start with www.theyfly.com and then www.figu.org and my own website www.futureofmankind.co.uk. &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Mr Meier has not been proven to be a liar or deceiver thus far in over 50 years of his work.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You will require an open mind and some time. I have no desire to convince you of anything in particular. I only wanted to give you an opportunity to see this information and possibly use it in some way in your work. I would be interested to hear any opinion you may have of course though.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Yours sincerely&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

You can see how George speaks plain truth at http://www.georgegalloway.com/page.php?page=content/video.html&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He&#039;s a very refreshing MP to say the least and we need more people like him in power.&lt;br /&gt;

Dear James,&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Your request was forwarded to us. I&#039;m sorry for the delay.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last week I&#039;ve shown paperprints of your website to Billy. Even though he did not read the content he is not against your work or, in other words, you can continue with your work in favour of the Billy Meier case.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However, English translations from Billy&#039;s and FIGU&#039;s texts done by FIGU members will be published via  http://us.figu.org.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you and best regards,&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yesterday the website went down because my ISP decided to upgrade the version of PHP to version 5.2.3. I have now upgraded the version of MediaWiki from 1.6.10 to 1.11.2. This seems to have fixed it. Release notes are [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Important_Release_Notes here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 5th March 2008 ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve decided to use this [[Current events]] section for keeping track of the changes made to this website from now on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tonight I inserted the translation of pages 397 to 402 of volume 6 of the [[Contact Reports]] which was [[Contact Report 238]]. It concerned a prediction that Ptaah made of an impending discovery of a mummy of so-called the &#039;&#039;Iceman&#039;&#039;, high in the Austrian Alps in 1991. But even more important than Meier&#039;s having first published the information about the discovery, in May of 1991, months before it occurred, is the irrefutable fact that he published specific information about exactly how the man died ten years before scientists discovered it using modern CT scan equipment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The translation and above description was taken from [http://www.theyfly.com/newsflash91/5100_year_old_man.htm TheyFly.com].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Hi James Moore,&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Your email was forwarded to Christian Frehner of the Core Group.  He is aware of your website but he doesn&#039;t know if Billy is.  He says your website will have to be discussed at the next meeting of the CG49.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
I will let you know as soon as we get a response.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I have finally uploaded all Meier-related content from a copy of the www.gaiaguys.net website which was recently taken offline on the 13th of December 2007.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to it being the most recent version of the old gaiaguys website, I have also corrected all internal hyperlinks and removed any irrelevant material.&lt;br /&gt;

==Overpopulation Bomb; Destruction of the Earth; Discrimination against Women==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The world&#039;s population will double and triple very rapidly unless the insanely uncontrolled procreation of children is stopped very soon. Undeniably, all social, political, economic, natural, environmental, climatic and ecological problems on the Earth can be traced back to the population explosion, respectively overpopulation.   From the population explosion to the collapse of the ecology, and the immediate future of our planet Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the population growth for the year 1993 is observed, one discovers with alarm that during this single year nearly 100 million additional humans populated the Earth. More closely scrutinized, the result shows that three newly born human beings arrived in this world every second:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| border=&amp;quot;0&amp;quot; cellpadding=&amp;quot;5&amp;quot; cellspacing=&amp;quot;0&amp;quot; align=&amp;quot;center&amp;quot; width=&amp;quot;50%&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 second || 3 humans&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 minute || 180 humans&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 hour || 10,800 humans&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 day || 259,200 humans&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 week || 1,814,400 humans&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 month || 7,884,000 humans&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 year || 94,608,000 humans&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The year 1994, by comparison, was once again a year in which procreation of children far exceeded the norm, and twice as many humans were born, computing the following results:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| border=&amp;quot;0&amp;quot; cellpadding=&amp;quot;5&amp;quot; cellspacing=&amp;quot;0&amp;quot; align=&amp;quot;center&amp;quot; width=&amp;quot;50%&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 second || 6 humans &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 minute || 360 humans &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 hour || 21,600 humans &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 day || 518,400 humans &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 week || 3,628,800 humans &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 month || 15,768,00 humans &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 year || 189,216,00 humans &lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TThis is a fact that was neither discovered nor realized by the &amp;quot;World Watchers&amp;quot;, other organizations or statisticians concerned with these matters, for they stubbornly abide by a pseudo-calculation scheme that establishes results only by rule of thumb. The fact is, however, that some years run contrary to the statisticians&#039; rule on population growth, and it is possible that fewer or more additional inhabitants of Earth are born during a particular year. And 1994 was such a year when twice as many children were born than was anticipated. An additional element that comes into play is the fact that the world&#039;s population is considerably larger than the rule-of-thumb statistics lead others to believe, because many nations are capable of only providing population approximations, whereby many people are overlooked and this amounts to between 200 an 500 million people at any given time who are not counted in the overall population totals. Hence, the &amp;quot;World Watchers  Record&amp;quot; and their statistics are not correct when their figures show that at the beginning of 1995 the Earth&#039;s population consisted of 5.75 or 5.85 billion humans. The truth is, instead, that on February 14, 1995, the total population amounted already to 6.27 billion human beings, a substantially larger figure than the statistics indicated. The &amp;quot;World Population Watchers&amp;quot; apparently do not take this discrepancy too seriously; evidently, several hundred million people are of no great significance to them. But this is where they err immensely. The population on Earth has reached the point where each and every human being is significant since each person contributes to the destruction and annihilation of all life on Earth, indeed the planet itself, in a constantly increasing proportion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the beginning of 1995, the world was populated by more than 6.27 billion humans; from this time onward, four more people per second are being added to this figure. The rate has since decreased marginally but, nevertheless, compared to the 1993 figure it has increased by one person per second, which was the inevitable result when in 1994 many more individuals became sexually mature and are now bringing more children into the world. Nearly three quarters (75%) of th  Earth&#039;s inhabitants live in the developing countries; 2 billion of these people are starving, and every day 40,000 children die of hunger and malnutrition for a total of 14 million a year! Hunger generates every type of human adversity such as social tensions, revolutions and, ultimately, civil and international wars, whereby the battles for goods become increasingly more brutal and inhumane. For the people involved, a human life no longer has any meaning. Entire nations are plunged into terrorism, anarchy and chaos. Hunger, misery, distress, war, persecution and massacres force people to flee their homelands   and immense human migrations occur in proportions never before experienced. In the Spring of 1995 alone approximately 200 million refugees existed. The exodus from the Third World is set into motion like a gigantic human steamroller, which begins initially within their home regions, but will soon increasingly expand in a northern direction – toward the lure of the industrial, economic and welfare nations with their full cooking pots, wealth, luxury and employment opportunities. However, through migration these opportunities become constantly rarer once the immigrants increasingly begin to occupy the jobs and are willing to work for lower salaries than the local residents, who lose their own livelihood and become welfare recipients as a result.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The wealthy 33% of the world&#039;s population reside in the northern industrial and economic nations, and on an average earn over ten times more per capita than the people in the poor Third World&#039;s nations to the South. This wealthy third produces 4/5 of the economic output in the world. In their unrestrained consumption craze, however, the inhabitants of the northern economic nations use 2/3 of the planet&#039;s natural resources, raw materials and energy reserves. The total environmental destruction initiated by the northern industrial nations is by far more devastating, more destructive and annihilative than that produced by all Third World countries put together, even though the industrial nations have on hand more advance  technology, and are more capable of protecting their environment and of preventing damage to their surroundings than the developing nations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Approximately 70% of all motor vehicles in the world are in the northern hemisphere, and they greatly accelerate the industrial nations&#039; share of atmospheric and environmental pollution. Furthermore, people living in the northern industrial nations use nearly 100 times more water per person than inhabitants of the Third World – therefore they generate the largest and most massive share of water pollution, e.g., creeks, rivers, lakes and oceans.  The steady increase in agricultural industrialization and its constant, unrelenting utilization of chemicals completely leach the soil and result in steadily decreasing harvests, increasing erosion and the rapidly escalating death of various species. Likewise, animals of all types are shot and exterminated in the &amp;quot;spirit of the sport&amp;quot; and for other threadbare reasons which, of course, exclude their protection and care by gamekeepers and wardens. Additionally, the world&#039;s oceans, creeks, rivers and lakes are overfished by small but highly mechanized fishing crews and fishing fleets with state-of-the-art technology. They negligently and irresponsibly decimate the supply of aquatic animals. Today, the fish yield by these expeditions is rapidly diminishing and many types of fish and other aquatic dwellers are threatened with extinction, while others have been exterminated altogether. However, the Third World nations to the South irresponsibly and criminally deplete nature as well. People, criminally and systematically, are cutting down the tropical rain forests; and as of the beginning of 1995, the forests have already been reduced, destroyed or annihilated to half of their original size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The irresponsible degree and speed of environmental changes generated by humans can be clearly witnessed through satellite surveillance. Indeed, remote sensing photos prove that the Aral Sea in the lowlands of Turan in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan has shrunk by 50% in just 30 years, whereby 40% of that reduction occurred within a few years. This outlet-free salt lake is fed by the Amudarja and Syrdarja rivers, which can only reach into the lake during wet years, measured 54,400 square kilometers (21,004 square miles) in area. By 1990 the lake had shrunk by 40% over a period of 15 years, due to water depletion for irrigation. This shrinkage has led to the irrecoverable death of fish in this once fourth largest lake on Earth and has brought to an end the fishing industry and utilization of its fish. The blame rests upon agriculturists  technicians, scientists and the government. One group drained water from the lake for intensive irrigation of gardens and agricultural grounds, the other groups provided the means and ways to do this, while the government in charge authorized everything and looked on without intervening. Such actions occur in nearly all nations on Earth, but are simply modified in one way or another depending on the circumstances. In the Mediterranean Sea, enormous destruction results, therefore, when various types of fertilizers and sewage drift into the sea from the Po river plains, and the Adriatic Sea becomes constantly polluted. The result from this pollution is a growing, horrendous annual algae plague that suffocates all lower life in the sea. Likewise, the harbor towns of Naples, Genoa, Brindisi, Catania, Syracusa, Trapani, Palermo, Marseille and many others contribute their share to this pollution as they simply route their poisonous sewage into the sea.&lt;br /&gt;
A further gigantic, global threat is occurring as the Earth&#039;s ozone layer is depleted as a result of Man&#039;s fault and irresponsibility. Not only is the opening in the ozone layer above the South pole growing larger from year to year but elsewhere as well, for Man is destroying this indispensable protective layer against UV rays. These life-threatening UV rays from space now strike the Earth&#039;s surface more powerfully and endanger every terrestrial life form. Above the Northern hemisphere a rapid thinning of the ozone layer is taking place as it, too, becomes dangerously depleted. The hole in the ozone layer is measurably and noticeably expanding and now reaches the temperate zones, resulting in &amp;quot;black cancer&amp;quot;, or skin cancer in humans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Concurrently, an artificially created greenhouse effect, generated by Man, is developing on a global scale that threatens life on Earth with total climatic collapse. Every type of unnatural catastrophe in nature directly results also from the human destruction mania. Meteorologists are today registering an increase in natural disasters, such as tropical hurricanes or cyclones, and abnormal droughts and floods. Even earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are a part of this scenario, although scientists continue to maintain that these events are purely natural, which is not consistent with the truth. Indeed, every one of these events has not been a totally natural occurrence in the customary, natural extent for a long time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ice caps at the Arctic and Antarctic poles, the icy plains of Greenland and the mountain glaciers are melting down rapidly and may raise worldwide ocean water levels. Entire low-lying island nations, as well as coastal regions will b   endangered and could eventually vanish beneath the rising waters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his absurdity and selfishness, Man, who loves to call himself the crowning glory of Creation, has proliferated to such a degree that he has now become a vicious threat to all life throughout the globe. Man is the greatest menace to the Earth. He has by now initiated dangerous changes to countless lives worldwide, while humankind&#039;s population continues to grow incessantly at a furious, constantly increasing pace. For this reason alone Earth continues to turn into a wasteland. Man&#039;s insane desire to procreate is now leading him to the point where every social, ecological and economic woe is climbing immeasurably beyond the point of recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Man is a part of Earth but he fails to understand the way of life. In his view not every human being is identical to the other, and if one belongs to another color, another race or variety, or if that person is simply a stranger, he or she will not be accepted, but is disregarded or hated, debased and persecuted. Power hungry and powerful individuals grab land an  possessions from the helpless – and Man is dealing likewise with his native land, the Earth. He treats the Earth as a complete stranger, lives strictly for his own benefit and not for harmony between Earth and all life on it. He creeps in like a thief in the night, as a stranger, and robs the Earth of whatever he relishes; or, conversely, he destroys and annihilate  everything on the planet as he pleases. He fails to live in harmony with the planet, his own Mother Earth and, instead, he has become her enemy; immediately upon conquering and subduing one part of her, he moves on to effect the same destruction elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Man treats his native land, the Earth, its atmosphere, its bodies of water, its entire environment and its diverse life forms and species as objects, which he may simply utilize, use, destroy, plunder and then discard and destroy when he is through with them. Man&#039;s voracious appetite for everything the Earth has to offer, and his excessive urge to procreate will ultimately devour and destroy the planet and all life on it, where he will leave nothing behind except for a dead, barren wasteland.   How did terrestrial Man fall into this current dreary and destructive situation? To answer the question, the development from Man &#039;s initial beginnings through to his current development must be considered. Over the past several million years, the human species, known as homo sapiens, continually multiplied to such an extent that it inhabited the entire world. In the first year (year 1 AD) of Christian time calculation, a mere 102.4 million human beings lived on Earth. By the year 1000 AD, Earth&#039;s entire population had grown to 300 million. Wars of all types, plagues and epidemics repeatedly killed millions of people, particularly during the Middle Ages. In Europe, especially during the 14th century, the &amp;quot;black death&amp;quot; decimated the population, whereupon the plague raged and prevailed to such a degree that humans died in great numbers, which ultimately amounted to many millions of deaths. Then, with initial major successes in medicine, Man&#039;s deathrate rapidly dropped off again, which resulted in more births than deaths. The population began growing at an accelerated pace, and by 1810 the population reached its first billion mark. Of course, not only did the number of new inhabitants increase on Earth, but the speed at which they multiplied also escalated. A dramatic problem arose that laid the path for the future destruction of all available living space, all life forms and the planet itself. Inevitably, early warnings were expressed in regard to humanity&#039;s rapid growth increases and their destructive consequences. These warnings were disregarded, however, in the same way they are ignored today, at a time when the entire world is speaking of the global destruction caused by overpopulation. Meanwhile Man continues to suppress the overpopulation problem instead of doing something about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 1926, in a world of 2 billion inhabitants, humankind observed a doubling of its population – after only 116 years. By 1960 the human population had already reached 3 billion, and by 1977 it was 4 billion. Therefore, it took just 51 years for the next doubling of the population. Ten years later, in 1987, the Earth&#039;s population totalled 5.1 billion; and by February 1995, after only a mere eight years – believe it or not – the number climbed to 6 billion. This figure is approximately 300 million higher than the incorrect worldwide statistics indicate. Clearly then, homo sapiens took several million years, about 4.5 million years beginning with the first human being, to reach the population mark of 1 billion, and then it took a mere 185 years to reach a number of human beings on Earth six times that large. These statistics should not come as a surprise, however, when overpopulation advocates such as the Catholic Supreme Shepherd, the Pope, vehemently and cunningly entice people; indeed, through their religious faith they practically force their followers to produce unlimited numbers of children in order to establish for themselves unlimited followers who, in turn, can be exploited by the Catholic Church. The Pope often quotes a biblical edict, which is, mildly put, irrational and criminal. The edict promotes the insanity of cultivating an overpopulation and is expressed in Genesis, Chapter 9, Verse 7 with the following words:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;And as for you, be fruitful and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth and multiply in it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is precisely what happened – and it continues even to this day. The edict is still fostered as a criminal deed against humanity, life and the planet not only by the Pope, his cardinals, bishops, priests and others, but also by their faithful believers. Even some governments, communities and other authorities officially pay large procreation and child support funds to the duped followers of these religions. Furthermore, by blindly adhering to the Pope, followers stifle all common sense from the very start. The Pope not only prohibits an often life-saving or otherwise vital abortion, but also all preventive measures and other birth control devices that would avert a pregnancy and procreation. He and his followers look upon abortion or any type of birth control device as blasphemous and inhumane. Yet, the Pope says nothing about the fact that innumerable women fall into need and misery when they become pregnant and give birth to children, or when the children are abused and mistreated by one or both parents – many women are also abused and mistreated – or when the children miserably starve to death because there is no longer any food for them. Is this demeanor not more abominable and inhumane? Apparently, the Pope&#039;s position bothers neither him nor any of his followers. When one of the faithful questions this approach, he or she pays a small offering as vindication to calm the guilty conscience. Certainly, neither this particular approach nor the sectarian phrases and flowery language will advance terrestrial humanity, nor will they resolve any of the many problems facing mankind – in particular, they will not resolve the greatest problem of them all: the planet&#039;s overpopulation from which all other existing evils and problems throughout the world arise.  Humanity&#039;s growth rate is outpacing food production by leaps and bounds. Only a drastic reduction in terrestrial population, such as through plagues  epidemics, starvation and wars, etc., can the equilibrium reestablish itself, that is if Man fails to come to his senses and does not stop the further increase in overpopulation by logical actions and countermeasures. He must initiate and effect strict, radical birth controls; he must encourage deliberate cessation of births, and must enforce these measures without clemency.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few words must be directed toward food production. A mere 12% of the entire Earth&#039;s landmass surface is entirely arable for agricultural and horticultural purposes. The remainder of the planet&#039;s surface consists of areas that cannot be cultivated, such as mountains, rocky terrains, tundras, arid regions, forests and deserts. However, the 12% arable land is not proportional to the mass of humanity, because one single human being requires by nature a living space of 83,333 square meters (99,665 sq. yds.), and 4000 square meters, or 63.245 x 63.245 meters (4784 sq. yds. or 69.166 x 69.166 yards) of fertile ground or garden soil is required to feed him- or herself. Calculated for 6 billion people, this amounts to a total arable landmass requirement of approximately 24 million square kilometers (9.3 million square miles). Such an expanse is not available, however, because the entire planet&#039;s 12% arable land amounts to 18 million square kilometers (7.0 million square miles) – 6 million square kilometers (2.3 million sq. mi.) less than the 6 billion-strong humanity requires for adequate food production.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This discrepancy widens with every newborn child because the 12% arable landmass neither increases nor remains constant. On the contrary, the surface is reduced daily and dwindles through erosion, desertification and the construction of homes, streets, airports, villages, mega-cities and all types of large sport facilities, etc. etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nine kilograms (19.8 lbs.) of grain are required to produce one kilogram (2.2 lbs.) of beef. One kilogram of meat is equivalent to 1 person&#039;s daily food requirement. By comparison, these same 19.8 lbs. of grain would feed 16 people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today three million fishing boats operate on the world&#039;s oceans and are greatly depleting the supply of fish and other aquatic life forms. Over the past 40 years fishing quotas have tripled. In 1950, 20 million tons of fish and water inhabitants ended up in Man&#039;s food chain. By 1990, this amount increased to 100 million tons per year. Fishermen not only unscrupulously plunder the oceans but also lakes, rivers and creeks for the sake of income and profit – as long as their cash registers are ringing up returns. Business in this regard is conducted at a very professional level, albeit with total nearsightedness and irresponsibility in every aspect. The depletion of fish stocks has led to overfishing in all oceans and other bodies of water. Many ocean and lake creatures no longer have the ability to reproduce, or are depleted to such an extent that they are dying out or have already become extinct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Man now faces the unfortunate situation where the fishermen, farmers, gardeners and others cannot keep pace with the demands of population growth. This means that the many tens of millions of people who are born every year, and who add to the current population masses, will only be fed if the people already alive now restrict their own food consumption. A totally new scenario now comes into play for Man, but he will not adjust to it. Consequently, millions of people will continue to starve to death; indeed, they will starve in ever-increasing numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Earth&#039;s atmosphere and climate present problems as well. In comparison with the size of this Earth, the atmosphere is actually only a very thin layer. Over the past 500 million years, a well-excogitated natural and complex cycle of patterns kept the ratio of various breathable gases for terrestrial life forms at constant levels. Likewise, the temperature range of the air was kept within an extremely narrow range. A natural protective shield formed beneath which a moderate, equally natural greenhouse climate developed and, step by step, a multitude of life forms began to flourish. However, over the last 100 years everything has changed because Man, his technology, production of poisons and other things, interfered with this sensitive equilibrium. He even changed the Earth&#039;s climate and is producing a new, dangerous, life-preventive and destructive greenhouse effect that threatens to slowly destroy everything. This is Man&#039;s self-betrayal that will lead to his own destruction and the annihilation of all life forms and of the planet itself.  Every year 23 billion tons of CO2 are released into the atmosphere through fossil fuel burning and motor vehicle engine combustion; 1 million tons of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are released into the atmosphere by the chemical industry and consumers; 380 million tons of methane gas are generated by cattle farming, rice cultivation and garbage dumps in addition to 11 million tons of nitrogen-monoxide from nitrogen fertilizers and biologic mass burning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beyond a doubt, Man alone is responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer, the greenhouse effect and climatic changes on Earth – the larger the human population on Earth, the worse and more irremediable the situation becomes. Unquestionably, the climatic changes now evident will lead to increases in hurricane activity and other destructive natural events with catastrophic consequences.&lt;br /&gt;
The overpopulation blight prevails simply because women are suppressed, disregarded and abused; they are considered inferior to men and are, therefore, condemned. A great many women have no rights. As a consequence, the men, especially through their religious faiths, threaten and strictly prohibit abortion and the utilization of birth control. These forms of discrimination occur not only within Christianity and its sects, but also in other religions and their associated sects, as the following brief excerpts prove:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Islam/Koran – Sure 4&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Men are above the women, because Allah has given the one part a superiority above the other.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Confucius&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;One hundred girls are not worth as much as one boy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Hinduism&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;A woman must never enjoy independence.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Christian Bible: Paul to the Ephesians in the New Testament&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The women shall be vassals to their men who are their masters.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
The above quotes clearly demonstrate the value of women based upon a religious viewpoint and one upheld by many men. Still, these discriminatory words against women, though spoken in the past, nevertheless prevail even today. Such attitudes also guarantee the abuse of women as being mere birthing machines without being provided the necessary means with which to fight back. This, in turn, ensures that overpopulation is able to freely forge ahead, at an accelerated rate and in a more irretrievable manner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Catholic Church has erected an influential and powerful defense against the prevention of having children, respectively birth control. The Church holds a totally irrational attitude against any form of birth regulation and birth control, hence, it is adamantly against all rights of women and their own decision-making aspirations on children or pregnancy termination. Politicians as well curb women&#039;s rights in this manner. They sit in judgement and rob the women of their freedom by way of national laws. The result: unrestricted increases in birthrates are allowed to thrive in Catholic circles (along with those of other religions) and endanger all life on Earth, indeed, the very existence of the planet. The unrestrained procreation of children without the capability to introduce birthrate cessation and birth control is equivalent to fostering a culture of death. The criminal Holy Chair of Rome, respectively the Pope and all his lieges, have a horrendous power, whereby its occupant (as well as other religions and their representatives) leads all humanity and all life on the planet into misery, desolation, devastation and destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Pope and the College of Cardinals at the Vatican constitute the highest authority of the Catholic Church, which has a worldwide following of approximately 1 billion believers of all races. In 1968, Pope Paul VI&#039;s Encyclical Humanae Vitae came into force, whose title reads as follows: &amp;quot;On the correct order of passing on human life.&amp;quot; Item # 14 describes the forbidden means of birth control in great detail, in the exact manner by which the means were concocted by the Pope, his cardinals and others in order to discriminate against women; to curtail their rights and to permit the continuation of the world population&#039;s uncontrolled growth – to the detriment and destruction of mankind, all life and planet Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Encyclical Humanae Vitae, Item # 14&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The direct termination of a procreation that has already begun, particularly by direct abortion – even when undertaken for curative purposes, is not a legitimate method to curb the number of children and is, therefore, an absolute abomination.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Likewise, the direct, permanent or temporary sterilization of the man or the woman must be condemned.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Equally objectionable is any action that intentionally prevents propagation, or is employed as a means to this prevention in anticipation of, during or after the consummation of the matrimonial act&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
 &#039;&#039;One last item must be mentioned here: Anything the Pope says is hostile to humanity and life, and must simply be ignored, therefore, His prattle is irrelevant. What he says is without actual correlation to the issues now confronting the world and humanity.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

==Overpopulation Bomb; Destruction of the Earth; Discrimination against Women==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The world&#039;s population will double and triple very rapidly unless the insanely uncontrolled procreation of children is stopped very soon. Undeniably, all social, political, economic, natural, environmental, climatic and ecological problems on the Earth can be traced back to the population explosion, respectively overpopulation.   From the population explosion to the collapse of the ecology, and the immediate future of our planet Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the population growth for the year 1993 is observed, one discovers with alarm that during this single year nearly 100 million additional humans populated the Earth. More closely scrutinized, the result shows that three newly born human beings arrived in this world every second:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| border=&amp;quot;0&amp;quot; cellpadding=&amp;quot;5&amp;quot; cellspacing=&amp;quot;0&amp;quot; align=&amp;quot;center&amp;quot; width=&amp;quot;50%&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 second || 3 humans&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 minute || 180 humans&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 hour || 10,800 humans&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 day || 259,200 humans&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 week || 1,814,400 humans&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 month || 7,884,000 humans&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 year || 94,608,000 humans&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The year 1994, by comparison, was once again a year in which procreation of children far exceeded the norm, and twice as many humans were born, computing the following results:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 minute || 360 humans &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 hour || 21,600 humans &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 day || 518,400 humans &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 week || 3,628,800 humans &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 month || 15,768,00 humans &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 year || 189,216,00 humans &lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TThis is a fact that was neither discovered nor realized by the &amp;quot;World Watchers&amp;quot;, other organizations or statisticians concerned with these matters, for they stubbornly abide by a pseudo-calculation scheme that establishes results only by rule of thumb. The fact is, however, that some years run contrary to the statisticians&#039; rule on population growth, and it is possible that fewer or more additional inhabitants of Earth are born during a particular year. And 1994 was such a year when twice as many children were born than was anticipated. An additional element that comes into play is the fact that the world&#039;s population is considerably larger than the rule-of-thumb statistics lead others to believe, because many nations are capable of only providing population approximations, whereby many people are overlooked and this amounts to between 200 an 500 million people at any given time who are not counted in the overall population totals. Hence, the &amp;quot;World Watchers  Record&amp;quot; and their statistics are not correct when their figures show that at the beginning of 1995 the Earth&#039;s population consisted of 5.75 or 5.85 billion humans. The truth is, instead, that on February 14, 1995, the total population amounted already to 6.27 billion human beings, a substantially larger figure than the statistics indicated. The &amp;quot;World Population Watchers&amp;quot; apparently do not take this discrepancy too seriously; evidently, several hundred million people are of no great significance to them. But this is where they err immensely. The population on Earth has reached the point where each and every human being is significant since each person contributes to the destruction and annihilation of all life on Earth, indeed the planet itself, in a constantly increasing proportion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the beginning of 1995, the world was populated by more than 6.27 billion humans; from this time onward, four more people per second are being added to this figure. The rate has since decreased marginally but, nevertheless, compared to the 1993 figure it has increased by one person per second, which was the inevitable result when in 1994 many more individuals became sexually mature and are now bringing more children into the world. Nearly three quarters (75%) of th  Earth&#039;s inhabitants live in the developing countries; 2 billion of these people are starving, and every day 40,000 children die of hunger and malnutrition for a total of 14 million a year! Hunger generates every type of human adversity such as social tensions, revolutions and, ultimately, civil and international wars, whereby the battles for goods become increasingly more brutal and inhumane. For the people involved, a human life no longer has any meaning. Entire nations are plunged into terrorism, anarchy and chaos. Hunger, misery, distress, war, persecution and massacres force people to flee their homelands   and immense human migrations occur in proportions never before experienced. In the Spring of 1995 alone approximately 200 million refugees existed. The exodus from the Third World is set into motion like a gigantic human steamroller, which begins initially within their home regions, but will soon increasingly expand in a northern direction – toward the lure of the industrial, economic and welfare nations with their full cooking pots, wealth, luxury and employment opportunities. However, through migration these opportunities become constantly rarer once the immigrants increasingly begin to occupy the jobs and are willing to work for lower salaries than the local residents, who lose their own livelihood and become welfare recipients as a result.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The wealthy 33% of the world&#039;s population reside in the northern industrial and economic nations, and on an average earn over ten times more per capita than the people in the poor Third World&#039;s nations to the South. This wealthy third produces 4/5 of the economic output in the world. In their unrestrained consumption craze, however, the inhabitants of the northern economic nations use 2/3 of the planet&#039;s natural resources, raw materials and energy reserves. The total environmental destruction initiated by the northern industrial nations is by far more devastating, more destructive and annihilative than that produced by all Third World countries put together, even though the industrial nations have on hand more advance  technology, and are more capable of protecting their environment and of preventing damage to their surroundings than the developing nations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Approximately 70% of all motor vehicles in the world are in the northern hemisphere, and they greatly accelerate the industrial nations&#039; share of atmospheric and environmental pollution. Furthermore, people living in the northern industrial nations use nearly 100 times more water per person than inhabitants of the Third World – therefore they generate the largest and most massive share of water pollution, e.g., creeks, rivers, lakes and oceans.  The steady increase in agricultural industrialization and its constant, unrelenting utilization of chemicals completely leach the soil and result in steadily decreasing harvests, increasing erosion and the rapidly escalating death of various species. Likewise, animals of all types are shot and exterminated in the &amp;quot;spirit of the sport&amp;quot; and for other threadbare reasons which, of course, exclude their protection and care by gamekeepers and wardens. Additionally, the world&#039;s oceans, creeks, rivers and lakes are overfished by small but highly mechanized fishing crews and fishing fleets with state-of-the-art technology. They negligently and irresponsibly decimate the supply of aquatic animals. Today, the fish yield by these expeditions is rapidly diminishing and many types of fish and other aquatic dwellers are threatened with extinction, while others have been exterminated altogether. However, the Third World nations to the South irresponsibly and criminally deplete nature as well. People, criminally and systematically, are cutting down the tropical rain forests; and as of the beginning of 1995, the forests have already been reduced, destroyed or annihilated to half of their original size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The irresponsible degree and speed of environmental changes generated by humans can be clearly witnessed through satellite surveillance. Indeed, remote sensing photos prove that the Aral Sea in the lowlands of Turan in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan has shrunk by 50% in just 30 years, whereby 40% of that reduction occurred within a few years. This outlet-free salt lake is fed by the Amudarja and Syrdarja rivers, which can only reach into the lake during wet years, measured 54,400 square kilometers (21,004 square miles) in area. By 1990 the lake had shrunk by 40% over a period of 15 years, due to water depletion for irrigation. This shrinkage has led to the irrecoverable death of fish in this once fourth largest lake on Earth and has brought to an end the fishing industry and utilization of its fish. The blame rests upon agriculturists  technicians, scientists and the government. One group drained water from the lake for intensive irrigation of gardens and agricultural grounds, the other groups provided the means and ways to do this, while the government in charge authorized everything and looked on without intervening. Such actions occur in nearly all nations on Earth, but are simply modified in one way or another depending on the circumstances. In the Mediterranean Sea, enormous destruction results, therefore, when various types of fertilizers and sewage drift into the sea from the Po river plains, and the Adriatic Sea becomes constantly polluted. The result from this pollution is a growing, horrendous annual algae plague that suffocates all lower life in the sea. Likewise, the harbor towns of Naples, Genoa, Brindisi, Catania, Syracusa, Trapani, Palermo, Marseille and many others contribute their share to this pollution as they simply route their poisonous sewage into the sea.&lt;br /&gt;
A further gigantic, global threat is occurring as the Earth&#039;s ozone layer is depleted as a result of Man&#039;s fault and irresponsibility. Not only is the opening in the ozone layer above the South pole growing larger from year to year but elsewhere as well, for Man is destroying this indispensable protective layer against UV rays. These life-threatening UV rays from space now strike the Earth&#039;s surface more powerfully and endanger every terrestrial life form. Above the Northern hemisphere a rapid thinning of the ozone layer is taking place as it, too, becomes dangerously depleted. The hole in the ozone layer is measurably and noticeably expanding and now reaches the temperate zones, resulting in &amp;quot;black cancer&amp;quot;, or skin cancer in humans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Concurrently, an artificially created greenhouse effect, generated by Man, is developing on a global scale that threatens life on Earth with total climatic collapse. Every type of unnatural catastrophe in nature directly results also from the human destruction mania. Meteorologists are today registering an increase in natural disasters, such as tropical hurricanes or cyclones, and abnormal droughts and floods. Even earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are a part of this scenario, although scientists continue to maintain that these events are purely natural, which is not consistent with the truth. Indeed, every one of these events has not been a totally natural occurrence in the customary, natural extent for a long time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ice caps at the Arctic and Antarctic poles, the icy plains of Greenland and the mountain glaciers are melting down rapidly and may raise worldwide ocean water levels. Entire low-lying island nations, as well as coastal regions will b   endangered and could eventually vanish beneath the rising waters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his absurdity and selfishness, Man, who loves to call himself the crowning glory of Creation, has proliferated to such a degree that he has now become a vicious threat to all life throughout the globe. Man is the greatest menace to the Earth. He has by now initiated dangerous changes to countless lives worldwide, while humankind&#039;s population continues to grow incessantly at a furious, constantly increasing pace. For this reason alone Earth continues to turn into a wasteland. Man&#039;s insane desire to procreate is now leading him to the point where every social, ecological and economic woe is climbing immeasurably beyond the point of recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Man is a part of Earth but he fails to understand the way of life. In his view not every human being is identical to the other, and if one belongs to another color, another race or variety, or if that person is simply a stranger, he or she will not be accepted, but is disregarded or hated, debased and persecuted. Power hungry and powerful individuals grab land an  possessions from the helpless – and Man is dealing likewise with his native land, the Earth. He treats the Earth as a complete stranger, lives strictly for his own benefit and not for harmony between Earth and all life on it. He creeps in like a thief in the night, as a stranger, and robs the Earth of whatever he relishes; or, conversely, he destroys and annihilate  everything on the planet as he pleases. He fails to live in harmony with the planet, his own Mother Earth and, instead, he has become her enemy; immediately upon conquering and subduing one part of her, he moves on to effect the same destruction elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Man treats his native land, the Earth, its atmosphere, its bodies of water, its entire environment and its diverse life forms and species as objects, which he may simply utilize, use, destroy, plunder and then discard and destroy when he is through with them. Man&#039;s voracious appetite for everything the Earth has to offer, and his excessive urge to procreate will ultimately devour and destroy the planet and all life on it, where he will leave nothing behind except for a dead, barren wasteland.   How did terrestrial Man fall into this current dreary and destructive situation? To answer the question, the development from Man &#039;s initial beginnings through to his current development must be considered. Over the past several million years, the human species, known as homo sapiens, continually multiplied to such an extent that it inhabited the entire world. In the first year (year 1 AD) of Christian time calculation, a mere 102.4 million human beings lived on Earth. By the year 1000 AD, Earth&#039;s entire population had grown to 300 million. Wars of all types, plagues and epidemics repeatedly killed millions of people, particularly during the Middle Ages. In Europe, especially during the 14th century, the &amp;quot;black death&amp;quot; decimated the population, whereupon the plague raged and prevailed to such a degree that humans died in great numbers, which ultimately amounted to many millions of deaths. Then, with initial major successes in medicine, Man&#039;s deathrate rapidly dropped off again, which resulted in more births than deaths. The population began growing at an accelerated pace, and by 1810 the population reached its first billion mark. Of course, not only did the number of new inhabitants increase on Earth, but the speed at which they multiplied also escalated. A dramatic problem arose that laid the path for the future destruction of all available living space, all life forms and the planet itself. Inevitably, early warnings were expressed in regard to humanity&#039;s rapid growth increases and their destructive consequences. These warnings were disregarded, however, in the same way they are ignored today, at a time when the entire world is speaking of the global destruction caused by overpopulation. Meanwhile Man continues to suppress the overpopulation problem instead of doing something about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 1926, in a world of 2 billion inhabitants, humankind observed a doubling of its population – after only 116 years. By 1960 the human population had already reached 3 billion, and by 1977 it was 4 billion. Therefore, it took just 51 years for the next doubling of the population. Ten years later, in 1987, the Earth&#039;s population totalled 5.1 billion; and by February 1995, after only a mere eight years – believe it or not – the number climbed to 6 billion. This figure is approximately 300 million higher than the incorrect worldwide statistics indicate. Clearly then, homo sapiens took several million years, about 4.5 million years beginning with the first human being, to reach the population mark of 1 billion, and then it took a mere 185 years to reach a number of human beings on Earth six times that large. These statistics should not come as a surprise, however, when overpopulation advocates such as the Catholic Supreme Shepherd, the Pope, vehemently and cunningly entice people; indeed, through their religious faith they practically force their followers to produce unlimited numbers of children in order to establish for themselves unlimited followers who, in turn, can be exploited by the Catholic Church. The Pope often quotes a biblical edict, which is, mildly put, irrational and criminal. The edict promotes the insanity of cultivating an overpopulation and is expressed in Genesis, Chapter 9, Verse 7 with the following words:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;And as for you, be fruitful and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth and multiply in it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is precisely what happened – and it continues even to this day. The edict is still fostered as a criminal deed against humanity, life and the planet not only by the Pope, his cardinals, bishops, priests and others, but also by their faithful believers. Even some governments, communities and other authorities officially pay large procreation and child support funds to the duped followers of these religions. Furthermore, by blindly adhering to the Pope, followers stifle all common sense from the very start. The Pope not only prohibits an often life-saving or otherwise vital abortion, but also all preventive measures and other birth control devices that would avert a pregnancy and procreation. He and his followers look upon abortion or any type of birth control device as blasphemous and inhumane. Yet, the Pope says nothing about the fact that innumerable women fall into need and misery when they become pregnant and give birth to children, or when the children are abused and mistreated by one or both parents – many women are also abused and mistreated – or when the children miserably starve to death because there is no longer any food for them. Is this demeanor not more abominable and inhumane? Apparently, the Pope&#039;s position bothers neither him nor any of his followers. When one of the faithful questions this approach, he or she pays a small offering as vindication to calm the guilty conscience. Certainly, neither this particular approach nor the sectarian phrases and flowery language will advance terrestrial humanity, nor will they resolve any of the many problems facing mankind – in particular, they will not resolve the greatest problem of them all: the planet&#039;s overpopulation from which all other existing evils and problems throughout the world arise.  Humanity&#039;s growth rate is outpacing food production by leaps and bounds. Only a drastic reduction in terrestrial population, such as through plagues  epidemics, starvation and wars, etc., can the equilibrium reestablish itself, that is if Man fails to come to his senses and does not stop the further increase in overpopulation by logical actions and countermeasures. He must initiate and effect strict, radical birth controls; he must encourage deliberate cessation of births, and must enforce these measures without clemency.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few words must be directed toward food production. A mere 12% of the entire Earth&#039;s landmass surface is entirely arable for agricultural and horticultural purposes. The remainder of the planet&#039;s surface consists of areas that cannot be cultivated, such as mountains, rocky terrains, tundras, arid regions, forests and deserts. However, the 12% arable land is not proportional to the mass of humanity, because one single human being requires by nature a living space of 83,333 square meters (99,665 sq. yds.), and 4000 square meters, or 63.245 x 63.245 meters (4784 sq. yds. or 69.166 x 69.166 yards) of fertile ground or garden soil is required to feed him- or herself. Calculated for 6 billion people, this amounts to a total arable landmass requirement of approximately 24 million square kilometers (9.3 million square miles). Such an expanse is not available, however, because the entire planet&#039;s 12% arable land amounts to 18 million square kilometers (7.0 million square miles) – 6 million square kilometers (2.3 million sq. mi.) less than the 6 billion-strong humanity requires for adequate food production.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This discrepancy widens with every newborn child because the 12% arable landmass neither increases nor remains constant. On the contrary, the surface is reduced daily and dwindles through erosion, desertification and the construction of homes, streets, airports, villages, mega-cities and all types of large sport facilities, etc. etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nine kilograms (19.8 lbs.) of grain are required to produce one kilogram (2.2 lbs.) of beef. One kilogram of meat is equivalent to 1 person&#039;s daily food requirement. By comparison, these same 19.8 lbs. of grain would feed 16 people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today three million fishing boats operate on the world&#039;s oceans and are greatly depleting the supply of fish and other aquatic life forms. Over the past 40 years fishing quotas have tripled. In 1950, 20 million tons of fish and water inhabitants ended up in Man&#039;s food chain. By 1990, this amount increased to 100 million tons per year. Fishermen not only unscrupulously plunder the oceans but also lakes, rivers and creeks for the sake of income and profit – as long as their cash registers are ringing up returns. Business in this regard is conducted at a very professional level, albeit with total nearsightedness and irresponsibility in every aspect. The depletion of fish stocks has led to overfishing in all oceans and other bodies of water. Many ocean and lake creatures no longer have the ability to reproduce, or are depleted to such an extent that they are dying out or have already become extinct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Man now faces the unfortunate situation where the fishermen, farmers, gardeners and others cannot keep pace with the demands of population growth. This means that the many tens of millions of people who are born every year, and who add to the current population masses, will only be fed if the people already alive now restrict their own food consumption. A totally new scenario now comes into play for Man, but he will not adjust to it. Consequently, millions of people will continue to starve to death; indeed, they will starve in ever-increasing numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Earth&#039;s atmosphere and climate present problems as well. In comparison with the size of this Earth, the atmosphere is actually only a very thin layer. Over the past 500 million years, a well-excogitated natural and complex cycle of patterns kept the ratio of various breathable gases for terrestrial life forms at constant levels. Likewise, the temperature range of the air was kept within an extremely narrow range. A natural protective shield formed beneath which a moderate, equally natural greenhouse climate developed and, step by step, a multitude of life forms began to flourish. However, over the last 100 years everything has changed because Man, his technology, production of poisons and other things, interfered with this sensitive equilibrium. He even changed the Earth&#039;s climate and is producing a new, dangerous, life-preventive and destructive greenhouse effect that threatens to slowly destroy everything. This is Man&#039;s self-betrayal that will lead to his own destruction and the annihilation of all life forms and of the planet itself.  Every year 23 billion tons of CO2 are released into the atmosphere through fossil fuel burning and motor vehicle engine combustion; 1 million tons of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are released into the atmosphere by the chemical industry and consumers; 380 million tons of methane gas are generated by cattle farming, rice cultivation and garbage dumps in addition to 11 million tons of nitrogen-monoxide from nitrogen fertilizers and biologic mass burning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beyond a doubt, Man alone is responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer, the greenhouse effect and climatic changes on Earth – the larger the human population on Earth, the worse and more irremediable the situation becomes. Unquestionably, the climatic changes now evident will lead to increases in hurricane activity and other destructive natural events with catastrophic consequences.&lt;br /&gt;
The overpopulation blight prevails simply because women are suppressed, disregarded and abused; they are considered inferior to men and are, therefore, condemned. A great many women have no rights. As a consequence, the men, especially through their religious faiths, threaten and strictly prohibit abortion and the utilization of birth control. These forms of discrimination occur not only within Christianity and its sects, but also in other religions and their associated sects, as the following brief excerpts prove:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Islam/Koran – Sure 4&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Men are above the women, because Allah has given the one part a superiority above the other.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Confucius&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;One hundred girls are not worth as much as one boy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Hinduism&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;A woman must never enjoy independence.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Christian Bible: Paul to the Ephesians in the New Testament&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The women shall be vassals to their men who are their masters.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
The above quotes clearly demonstrate the value of women based upon a religious viewpoint and one upheld by many men. Still, these discriminatory words against women, though spoken in the past, nevertheless prevail even today. Such attitudes also guarantee the abuse of women as being mere birthing machines without being provided the necessary means with which to fight back. This, in turn, ensures that overpopulation is able to freely forge ahead, at an accelerated rate and in a more irretrievable manner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Catholic Church has erected an influential and powerful defense against the prevention of having children, respectively birth control. The Church holds a totally irrational attitude against any form of birth regulation and birth control, hence, it is adamantly against all rights of women and their own decision-making aspirations on children or pregnancy termination. Politicians as well curb women&#039;s rights in this manner. They sit in judgement and rob the women of their freedom by way of national laws. The result: unrestricted increases in birthrates are allowed to thrive in Catholic circles (along with those of other religions) and endanger all life on Earth, indeed, the very existence of the planet. The unrestrained procreation of children without the capability to introduce birthrate cessation and birth control is equivalent to fostering a culture of death. The criminal Holy Chair of Rome, respectively the Pope and all his lieges, have a horrendous power, whereby its occupant (as well as other religions and their representatives) leads all humanity and all life on the planet into misery, desolation, devastation and destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Pope and the College of Cardinals at the Vatican constitute the highest authority of the Catholic Church, which has a worldwide following of approximately 1 billion believers of all races. In 1968, Pope Paul VI&#039;s Encyclical Humanae Vitae came into force, whose title reads as follows: &amp;quot;On the correct order of passing on human life.&amp;quot; Item # 14 describes the forbidden means of birth control in great detail, in the exact manner by which the means were concocted by the Pope, his cardinals and others in order to discriminate against women; to curtail their rights and to permit the continuation of the world population&#039;s uncontrolled growth – to the detriment and destruction of mankind, all life and planet Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Encyclical Humanae Vitae, Item # 14&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The direct termination of a procreation that has already begun, particularly by direct abortion – even when undertaken for curative purposes, is not a legitimate method to curb the number of children and is, therefore, an absolute abomination.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Likewise, the direct, permanent or temporary sterilization of the man or the woman must be condemned.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Equally objectionable is any action that intentionally prevents propagation, or is employed as a means to this prevention in anticipation of, during or after the consummation of the matrimonial act.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 One last item must be mentioned here: Anything the Pope says is hostile to humanity and life, and must simply be ignored, therefore, His prattle is irrelevant. What he says is without actual correlation to the issues now confronting the world and humanity.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

==Overpopulation Bomb; Destruction of the Earth; Discrimination against Women==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The world&#039;s population will double and triple very rapidly unless the insanely uncontrolled procreation of children is stopped very soon. Undeniably, all social, political, economic, natural, environmental, climatic and ecological problems on the Earth can be traced back to the population explosion, respectively overpopulation.   From the population explosion to the collapse of the ecology, and the immediate future of our planet Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the population growth for the year 1993 is observed, one discovers with alarm that during this single year nearly 100 million additional humans populated the Earth. More closely scrutinized, the result shows that three newly born human beings arrived in this world every second:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

| 1 day || 259,200 humans&lt;br /&gt;

| 1 week || 1,814,400 humans&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 month || 7,884,000 humans&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 year || 94,608,000 humans&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The year 1994, by comparison, was once again a year in which procreation of children far exceeded the norm, and twice as many humans were born, computing the following results:&lt;br /&gt;

| 1 week || 3,628,800 humans &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 month || 15,768,00 humans &lt;br /&gt;

TThis is a fact that was neither discovered nor realized by the &amp;quot;World Watchers&amp;quot;, other organizations or statisticians concerned with these matters, for they stubbornly abide by a pseudo-calculation scheme that establishes results only by rule of thumb. The fact is, however, that some years run contrary to the statisticians&#039; rule on population growth, and it is possible that fewer or more additional inhabitants of Earth are born during a particular year. And 1994 was such a year when twice as many children were born than was anticipated. An additional element that comes into play is the fact that the world&#039;s population is considerably larger than the rule-of-thumb statistics lead others to believe, because many nations are capable of only providing population approximations, whereby many people are overlooked and this amounts to between 200 an 500 million people at any given time who are not counted in the overall population totals. Hence, the &amp;quot;World Watchers  Record&amp;quot; and their statistics are not correct when their figures show that at the beginning of 1995 the Earth&#039;s population consisted of 5.75 or 5.85 billion humans. The truth is, instead, that on February 14, 1995, the total population amounted already to 6.27 billion human beings, a substantially larger figure than the statistics indicated. The &amp;quot;World Population Watchers&amp;quot; apparently do not take this discrepancy too seriously; evidently, several hundred million people are of no great significance to them. But this is where they err immensely. The population on Earth has reached the point where each and every human being is significant since each person contributes to the destruction and annihilation of all life on Earth, indeed the planet itself, in a constantly increasing proportion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the beginning of 1995, the world was populated by more than 6.27 billion humans; from this time onward, four more people per second are being added to this figure. The rate has since decreased marginally but, nevertheless, compared to the 1993 figure it has increased by one person per second, which was the inevitable result when in 1994 many more individuals became sexually mature and are now bringing more children into the world. Nearly three quarters (75%) of th  Earth&#039;s inhabitants live in the developing countries; 2 billion of these people are starving, and every day 40,000 children die of hunger and malnutrition for a total of 14 million a year! Hunger generates every type of human adversity such as social tensions, revolutions and, ultimately, civil and international wars, whereby the battles for goods become increasingly more brutal and inhumane. For the people involved, a human life no longer has any meaning. Entire nations are plunged into terrorism, anarchy and chaos. Hunger, misery, distress, war, persecution and massacres force people to flee their homelands   and immense human migrations occur in proportions never before experienced. In the Spring of 1995 alone approximately 200 million refugees existed. The exodus from the Third World is set into motion like a gigantic human steamroller, which begins initially within their home regions, but will soon increasingly expand in a northern direction – toward the lure of the industrial, economic and welfare nations with their full cooking pots, wealth, luxury and employment opportunities. However, through migration these opportunities become constantly rarer once the immigrants increasingly begin to occupy the jobs and are willing to work for lower salaries than the local residents, who lose their own livelihood and become welfare recipients as a result.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The wealthy 33% of the world&#039;s population reside in the northern industrial and economic nations, and on an average earn over ten times more per capita than the people in the poor Third World&#039;s nations to the South. This wealthy third produces 4/5 of the economic output in the world. In their unrestrained consumption craze, however, the inhabitants of the northern economic nations use 2/3 of the planet&#039;s natural resources, raw materials and energy reserves. The total environmental destruction initiated by the northern industrial nations is by far more devastating, more destructive and annihilative than that produced by all Third World countries put together, even though the industrial nations have on hand more advance  technology, and are more capable of protecting their environment and of preventing damage to their surroundings than the developing nations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Approximately 70% of all motor vehicles in the world are in the northern hemisphere, and they greatly accelerate the industrial nations&#039; share of atmospheric and environmental pollution. Furthermore, people living in the northern industrial nations use nearly 100 times more water per person than inhabitants of the Third World – therefore they generate the largest and most massive share of water pollution, e.g., creeks, rivers, lakes and oceans.  The steady increase in agricultural industrialization and its constant, unrelenting utilization of chemicals completely leach the soil and result in steadily decreasing harvests, increasing erosion and the rapidly escalating death of various species. Likewise, animals of all types are shot and exterminated in the &amp;quot;spirit of the sport&amp;quot; and for other threadbare reasons which, of course, exclude their protection and care by gamekeepers and wardens. Additionally, the world&#039;s oceans, creeks, rivers and lakes are overfished by small but highly mechanized fishing crews and fishing fleets with state-of-the-art technology. They negligently and irresponsibly decimate the supply of aquatic animals. Today, the fish yield by these expeditions is rapidly diminishing and many types of fish and other aquatic dwellers are threatened with extinction, while others have been exterminated altogether. However, the Third World nations to the South irresponsibly and criminally deplete nature as well. People, criminally and systematically, are cutting down the tropical rain forests; and as of the beginning of 1995, the forests have already been reduced, destroyed or annihilated to half of their original size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The irresponsible degree and speed of environmental changes generated by humans can be clearly witnessed through satellite surveillance. Indeed, remote sensing photos prove that the Aral Sea in the lowlands of Turan in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan has shrunk by 50% in just 30 years, whereby 40% of that reduction occurred within a few years. This outlet-free salt lake is fed by the Amudarja and Syrdarja rivers, which can only reach into the lake during wet years, measured 54,400 square kilometers (21,004 square miles) in area. By 1990 the lake had shrunk by 40% over a period of 15 years, due to water depletion for irrigation. This shrinkage has led to the irrecoverable death of fish in this once fourth largest lake on Earth and has brought to an end the fishing industry and utilization of its fish. The blame rests upon agriculturists  technicians, scientists and the government. One group drained water from the lake for intensive irrigation of gardens and agricultural grounds, the other groups provided the means and ways to do this, while the government in charge authorized everything and looked on without intervening. Such actions occur in nearly all nations on Earth, but are simply modified in one way or another depending on the circumstances. In the Mediterranean Sea, enormous destruction results, therefore, when various types of fertilizers and sewage drift into the sea from the Po river plains, and the Adriatic Sea becomes constantly polluted. The result from this pollution is a growing, horrendous annual algae plague that suffocates all lower life in the sea. Likewise, the harbor towns of Naples, Genoa, Brindisi, Catania, Syracusa, Trapani, Palermo, Marseille and many others contribute their share to this pollution as they simply route their poisonous sewage into the sea.&lt;br /&gt;
A further gigantic, global threat is occurring as the Earth&#039;s ozone layer is depleted as a result of Man&#039;s fault and irresponsibility. Not only is the opening in the ozone layer above the South pole growing larger from year to year but elsewhere as well, for Man is destroying this indispensable protective layer against UV rays. These life-threatening UV rays from space now strike the Earth&#039;s surface more powerfully and endanger every terrestrial life form. Above the Northern hemisphere a rapid thinning of the ozone layer is taking place as it, too, becomes dangerously depleted. The hole in the ozone layer is measurably and noticeably expanding and now reaches the temperate zones, resulting in &amp;quot;black cancer&amp;quot;, or skin cancer in humans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Concurrently, an artificially created greenhouse effect, generated by Man, is developing on a global scale that threatens life on Earth with total climatic collapse. Every type of unnatural catastrophe in nature directly results also from the human destruction mania. Meteorologists are today registering an increase in natural disasters, such as tropical hurricanes or cyclones, and abnormal droughts and floods. Even earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are a part of this scenario, although scientists continue to maintain that these events are purely natural, which is not consistent with the truth. Indeed, every one of these events has not been a totally natural occurrence in the customary, natural extent for a long time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ice caps at the Arctic and Antarctic poles, the icy plains of Greenland and the mountain glaciers are melting down rapidly and may raise worldwide ocean water levels. Entire low-lying island nations, as well as coastal regions will b   endangered and could eventually vanish beneath the rising waters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his absurdity and selfishness, Man, who loves to call himself the crowning glory of Creation, has proliferated to such a degree that he has now become a vicious threat to all life throughout the globe. Man is the greatest menace to the Earth. He has by now initiated dangerous changes to countless lives worldwide, while humankind&#039;s population continues to grow incessantly at a furious, constantly increasing pace. For this reason alone Earth continues to turn into a wasteland. Man&#039;s insane desire to procreate is now leading him to the point where every social, ecological and economic woe is climbing immeasurably beyond the point of recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Man is a part of Earth but he fails to understand the way of life. In his view not every human being is identical to the other, and if one belongs to another color, another race or variety, or if that person is simply a stranger, he or she will not be accepted, but is disregarded or hated, debased and persecuted. Power hungry and powerful individuals grab land an  possessions from the helpless – and Man is dealing likewise with his native land, the Earth. He treats the Earth as a complete stranger, lives strictly for his own benefit and not for harmony between Earth and all life on it. He creeps in like a thief in the night, as a stranger, and robs the Earth of whatever he relishes; or, conversely, he destroys and annihilate  everything on the planet as he pleases. He fails to live in harmony with the planet, his own Mother Earth and, instead, he has become her enemy; immediately upon conquering and subduing one part of her, he moves on to effect the same destruction elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Man treats his native land, the Earth, its atmosphere, its bodies of water, its entire environment and its diverse life forms and species as objects, which he may simply utilize, use, destroy, plunder and then discard and destroy when he is through with them. Man&#039;s voracious appetite for everything the Earth has to offer, and his excessive urge to procreate will ultimately devour and destroy the planet and all life on it, where he will leave nothing behind except for a dead, barren wasteland.   How did terrestrial Man fall into this current dreary and destructive situation? To answer the question, the development from Man &#039;s initial beginnings through to his current development must be considered. Over the past several million years, the human species, known as homo sapiens, continually multiplied to such an extent that it inhabited the entire world. In the first year (year 1 AD) of Christian time calculation, a mere 102.4 million human beings lived on Earth. By the year 1000 AD, Earth&#039;s entire population had grown to 300 million. Wars of all types, plagues and epidemics repeatedly killed millions of people, particularly during the Middle Ages. In Europe, especially during the 14th century, the &amp;quot;black death&amp;quot; decimated the population, whereupon the plague raged and prevailed to such a degree that humans died in great numbers, which ultimately amounted to many millions of deaths. Then, with initial major successes in medicine, Man&#039;s deathrate rapidly dropped off again, which resulted in more births than deaths. The population began growing at an accelerated pace, and by 1810 the population reached its first billion mark. Of course, not only did the number of new inhabitants increase on Earth, but the speed at which they multiplied also escalated. A dramatic problem arose that laid the path for the future destruction of all available living space, all life forms and the planet itself. Inevitably, early warnings were expressed in regard to humanity&#039;s rapid growth increases and their destructive consequences. These warnings were disregarded, however, in the same way they are ignored today, at a time when the entire world is speaking of the global destruction caused by overpopulation. Meanwhile Man continues to suppress the overpopulation problem instead of doing something about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 1926, in a world of 2 billion inhabitants, humankind observed a doubling of its population – after only 116 years. By 1960 the human population had already reached 3 billion, and by 1977 it was 4 billion. Therefore, it took just 51 years for the next doubling of the population. Ten years later, in 1987, the Earth&#039;s population totalled 5.1 billion; and by February 1995, after only a mere eight years – believe it or not – the number climbed to 6 billion. This figure is approximately 300 million higher than the incorrect worldwide statistics indicate. Clearly then, homo sapiens took several million years, about 4.5 million years beginning with the first human being, to reach the population mark of 1 billion, and then it took a mere 185 years to reach a number of human beings on Earth six times that large. These statistics should not come as a surprise, however, when overpopulation advocates such as the Catholic Supreme Shepherd, the Pope, vehemently and cunningly entice people; indeed, through their religious faith they practically force their followers to produce unlimited numbers of children in order to establish for themselves unlimited followers who, in turn, can be exploited by the Catholic Church. The Pope often quotes a biblical edict, which is, mildly put, irrational and criminal. The edict promotes the insanity of cultivating an overpopulation and is expressed in Genesis, Chapter 9, Verse 7 with the following words:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;And as for you, be fruitful and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth and multiply in it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is precisely what happened – and it continues even to this day. The edict is still fostered as a criminal deed against humanity, life and the planet not only by the Pope, his cardinals, bishops, priests and others, but also by their faithful believers. Even some governments, communities and other authorities officially pay large procreation and child support funds to the duped followers of these religions. Furthermore, by blindly adhering to the Pope, followers stifle all common sense from the very start. The Pope not only prohibits an often life-saving or otherwise vital abortion, but also all preventive measures and other birth control devices that would avert a pregnancy and procreation. He and his followers look upon abortion or any type of birth control device as blasphemous and inhumane. Yet, the Pope says nothing about the fact that innumerable women fall into need and misery when they become pregnant and give birth to children, or when the children are abused and mistreated by one or both parents – many women are also abused and mistreated – or when the children miserably starve to death because there is no longer any food for them. Is this demeanor not more abominable and inhumane? Apparently, the Pope&#039;s position bothers neither him nor any of his followers. When one of the faithful questions this approach, he or she pays a small offering as vindication to calm the guilty conscience. Certainly, neither this particular approach nor the sectarian phrases and flowery language will advance terrestrial humanity, nor will they resolve any of the many problems facing mankind – in particular, they will not resolve the greatest problem of them all: the planet&#039;s overpopulation from which all other existing evils and problems throughout the world arise.  Humanity&#039;s growth rate is outpacing food production by leaps and bounds. Only a drastic reduction in terrestrial population, such as through plagues  epidemics, starvation and wars, etc., can the equilibrium reestablish itself, that is if Man fails to come to his senses and does not stop the further increase in overpopulation by logical actions and countermeasures. He must initiate and effect strict, radical birth controls; he must encourage deliberate cessation of births, and must enforce these measures without clemency.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few words must be directed toward food production. A mere 12% of the entire Earth&#039;s landmass surface is entirely arable for agricultural and horticultural purposes. The remainder of the planet&#039;s surface consists of areas that cannot be cultivated, such as mountains, rocky terrains, tundras, arid regions, forests and deserts. However, the 12% arable land is not proportional to the mass of humanity, because one single human being requires by nature a living space of 83,333 square meters (99,665 sq. yds.), and 4000 square meters, or 63.245 x 63.245 meters (4784 sq. yds. or 69.166 x 69.166 yards) of fertile ground or garden soil is required to feed him- or herself. Calculated for 6 billion people, this amounts to a total arable landmass requirement of approximately 24 million square kilometers (9.3 million square miles). Such an expanse is not available, however, because the entire planet&#039;s 12% arable land amounts to 18 million square kilometers (7.0 million square miles) – 6 million square kilometers (2.3 million sq. mi.) less than the 6 billion-strong humanity requires for adequate food production.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This discrepancy widens with every newborn child because the 12% arable landmass neither increases nor remains constant. On the contrary, the surface is reduced daily and dwindles through erosion, desertification and the construction of homes, streets, airports, villages, mega-cities and all types of large sport facilities, etc. etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nine kilograms (19.8 lbs.) of grain are required to produce one kilogram (2.2 lbs.) of beef. One kilogram of meat is equivalent to 1 person&#039;s daily food requirement. By comparison, these same 19.8 lbs. of grain would feed 16 people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today three million fishing boats operate on the world&#039;s oceans and are greatly depleting the supply of fish and other aquatic life forms. Over the past 40 years fishing quotas have tripled. In 1950, 20 million tons of fish and water inhabitants ended up in Man&#039;s food chain. By 1990, this amount increased to 100 million tons per year. Fishermen not only unscrupulously plunder the oceans but also lakes, rivers and creeks for the sake of income and profit – as long as their cash registers are ringing up returns. Business in this regard is conducted at a very professional level, albeit with total nearsightedness and irresponsibility in every aspect. The depletion of fish stocks has led to overfishing in all oceans and other bodies of water. Many ocean and lake creatures no longer have the ability to reproduce, or are depleted to such an extent that they are dying out or have already become extinct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Man now faces the unfortunate situation where the fishermen, farmers, gardeners and others cannot keep pace with the demands of population growth. This means that the many tens of millions of people who are born every year, and who add to the current population masses, will only be fed if the people already alive now restrict their own food consumption. A totally new scenario now comes into play for Man, but he will not adjust to it. Consequently, millions of people will continue to starve to death; indeed, they will starve in ever-increasing numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Earth&#039;s atmosphere and climate present problems as well. In comparison with the size of this Earth, the atmosphere is actually only a very thin layer. Over the past 500 million years, a well-excogitated natural and complex cycle of patterns kept the ratio of various breathable gases for terrestrial life forms at constant levels. Likewise, the temperature range of the air was kept within an extremely narrow range. A natural protective shield formed beneath which a moderate, equally natural greenhouse climate developed and, step by step, a multitude of life forms began to flourish. However, over the last 100 years everything has changed because Man, his technology, production of poisons and other things, interfered with this sensitive equilibrium. He even changed the Earth&#039;s climate and is producing a new, dangerous, life-preventive and destructive greenhouse effect that threatens to slowly destroy everything. This is Man&#039;s self-betrayal that will lead to his own destruction and the annihilation of all life forms and of the planet itself.  Every year 23 billion tons of CO2 are released into the atmosphere through fossil fuel burning and motor vehicle engine combustion; 1 million tons of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are released into the atmosphere by the chemical industry and consumers; 380 million tons of methane gas are generated by cattle farming, rice cultivation and garbage dumps in addition to 11 million tons of nitrogen-monoxide from nitrogen fertilizers and biologic mass burning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beyond a doubt, Man alone is responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer, the greenhouse effect and climatic changes on Earth – the larger the human population on Earth, the worse and more irremediable the situation becomes. Unquestionably, the climatic changes now evident will lead to increases in hurricane activity and other destructive natural events with catastrophic consequences.&lt;br /&gt;
The overpopulation blight prevails simply because women are suppressed, disregarded and abused; they are considered inferior to men and are, therefore, condemned. A great many women have no rights. As a consequence, the men, especially through their religious faiths, threaten and strictly prohibit abortion and the utilization of birth control. These forms of discrimination occur not only within Christianity and its sects, but also in other religions and their associated sects, as the following brief excerpts prove:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Islam/Koran – Sure 4&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Men are above the women, because Allah has given the one part a superiority above the other.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Confucius&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;One hundred girls are not worth as much as one boy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Hinduism&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;A woman must never enjoy independence.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Christian Bible: Paul to the Ephesians in the New Testament&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The women shall be vassals to their men who are their masters.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
The above quotes clearly demonstrate the value of women based upon a religious viewpoint and one upheld by many men. Still, these discriminatory words against women, though spoken in the past, nevertheless prevail even today. Such attitudes also guarantee the abuse of women as being mere birthing machines without being provided the necessary means with which to fight back. This, in turn, ensures that overpopulation is able to freely forge ahead, at an accelerated rate and in a more irretrievable manner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Catholic Church has erected an influential and powerful defense against the prevention of having children, respectively birth control. The Church holds a totally irrational attitude against any form of birth regulation and birth control, hence, it is adamantly against all rights of women and their own decision-making aspirations on children or pregnancy termination. Politicians as well curb women&#039;s rights in this manner. They sit in judgement and rob the women of their freedom by way of national laws. The result: unrestricted increases in birthrates are allowed to thrive in Catholic circles (along with those of other religions) and endanger all life on Earth, indeed, the very existence of the planet. The unrestrained procreation of children without the capability to introduce birthrate cessation and birth control is equivalent to fostering a culture of death. The criminal Holy Chair of Rome, respectively the Pope and all his lieges, have a horrendous power, whereby its occupant (as well as other religions and their representatives) leads all humanity and all life on the planet into misery, desolation, devastation and destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Pope and the College of Cardinals at the Vatican constitute the highest authority of the Catholic Church, which has a worldwide following of approximately 1 billion believers of all races. In 1968, Pope Paul VI&#039;s Encyclical Humanae Vitae came into force, whose title reads as follows: &amp;quot;On the correct order of passing on human life.&amp;quot; Item # 14 describes the forbidden means of birth control in great detail, in the exact manner by which the means were concocted by the Pope, his cardinals and others in order to discriminate against women; to curtail their rights and to permit the continuation of the world population&#039;s uncontrolled growth – to the detriment and destruction of mankind, all life and planet Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Encyclical Humanae Vitae, Item # 14&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The direct termination of a procreation that has already begun, particularly by direct abortion – even when undertaken for curative purposes, is not a legitimate method to curb the number of children and is, therefore, an absolute abomination.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Likewise, the direct, permanent or temporary sterilization of the man or the woman must be condemned.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Equally objectionable is any action that intentionally prevents propagation, or is employed as a means to this prevention in anticipation of, during or after the consummation of the matrimonial act.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 One last item must be mentioned here: Anything the Pope says is hostile to humanity and life, and must simply be ignored, therefore, His prattle is irrelevant. What he says is without actual correlation to the issues now confronting the world and humanity.&lt;br /&gt;

==Overpopulation Bomb; Destruction of the Earth; Discrimination against Women==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The world&#039;s population will double and triple very rapidly unless the insanely uncontrolled procreation of children is stopped very soon. Undeniably, all social, political, economic, natural, environmental, climatic and ecological problems on the Earth can be traced back to the population explosion, respectively overpopulation.   From the population explosion to the collapse of the ecology, and the immediate future of our planet Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the population growth for the year 1993 is observed, one discovers with alarm that during this single year nearly 100 million additional humans populated the Earth. More closely scrutinized, the result shows that three newly born human beings arrived in this world every second:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

| 1 week || 1,814,400 humans&lt;br /&gt;

| 1 month || 7,884,000 humans&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1 year || 94,608,000 humans&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The year 1994, by comparison, was once again a year in which procreation of children far exceeded the norm, and twice as many humans were born, computing the following results:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
TThis is a fact that was neither discovered nor realized by the &amp;quot;World Watchers&amp;quot;, other organizations or statisticians concerned with these matters, for they stubbornly abide by a pseudo-calculation scheme that establishes results only by rule of thumb. The fact is, however, that some years run contrary to the statisticians&#039; rule on population growth, and it is possible that fewer or more additional inhabitants of Earth are born during a particular year. And 1994 was such a year when twice as many children were born than was anticipated. An additional element that comes into play is the fact that the world&#039;s population is considerably larger than the rule-of-thumb statistics lead others to believe, because many nations are capable of only providing population approximations, whereby many people are overlooked and this amounts to between 200 an 500 million people at any given time who are not counted in the overall population totals. Hence, the &amp;quot;World Watchers  Record&amp;quot; and their statistics are not correct when their figures show that at the beginning of 1995 the Earth&#039;s population consisted of 5.75 or 5.85 billion humans. The truth is, instead, that on February 14, 1995, the total population amounted already to 6.27 billion human beings, a substantially larger figure than the statistics indicated. The &amp;quot;World Population Watchers&amp;quot; apparently do not take this discrepancy too seriously; evidently, several hundred million people are of no great significance to them. But this is where they err immensely. The population on Earth has reached the point where each and every human being is significant since each person contributes to the destruction and annihilation of all life on Earth, indeed the planet itself, in a constantly increasing proportion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the beginning of 1995, the world was populated by more than 6.27 billion humans; from this time onward, four more people per second are being added to this figure. The rate has since decreased marginally but, nevertheless, compared to the 1993 figure it has increased by one person per second, which was the inevitable result when in 1994 many more individuals became sexually mature and are now bringing more children into the world. Nearly three quarters (75%) of th  Earth&#039;s inhabitants live in the developing countries; 2 billion of these people are starving, and every day 40,000 children die of hunger and malnutrition for a total of 14 million a year! Hunger generates every type of human adversity such as social tensions, revolutions and, ultimately, civil and international wars, whereby the battles for goods become increasingly more brutal and inhumane. For the people involved, a human life no longer has any meaning. Entire nations are plunged into terrorism, anarchy and chaos. Hunger, misery, distress, war, persecution and massacres force people to flee their homelands   and immense human migrations occur in proportions never before experienced. In the Spring of 1995 alone approximately 200 million refugees existed. The exodus from the Third World is set into motion like a gigantic human steamroller, which begins initially within their home regions, but will soon increasingly expand in a northern direction – toward the lure of the industrial, economic and welfare nations with their full cooking pots, wealth, luxury and employment opportunities. However, through migration these opportunities become constantly rarer once the immigrants increasingly begin to occupy the jobs and are willing to work for lower salaries than the local residents, who lose their own livelihood and become welfare recipients as a result.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The wealthy 33% of the world&#039;s population reside in the northern industrial and economic nations, and on an average earn over ten times more per capita than the people in the poor Third World&#039;s nations to the South. This wealthy third produces 4/5 of the economic output in the world. In their unrestrained consumption craze, however, the inhabitants of the northern economic nations use 2/3 of the planet&#039;s natural resources, raw materials and energy reserves. The total environmental destruction initiated by the northern industrial nations is by far more devastating, more destructive and annihilative than that produced by all Third World countries put together, even though the industrial nations have on hand more advance  technology, and are more capable of protecting their environment and of preventing damage to their surroundings than the developing nations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Approximately 70% of all motor vehicles in the world are in the northern hemisphere, and they greatly accelerate the industrial nations&#039; share of atmospheric and environmental pollution. Furthermore, people living in the northern industrial nations use nearly 100 times more water per person than inhabitants of the Third World – therefore they generate the largest and most massive share of water pollution, e.g., creeks, rivers, lakes and oceans.  The steady increase in agricultural industrialization and its constant, unrelenting utilization of chemicals completely leach the soil and result in steadily decreasing harvests, increasing erosion and the rapidly escalating death of various species. Likewise, animals of all types are shot and exterminated in the &amp;quot;spirit of the sport&amp;quot; and for other threadbare reasons which, of course, exclude their protection and care by gamekeepers and wardens. Additionally, the world&#039;s oceans, creeks, rivers and lakes are overfished by small but highly mechanized fishing crews and fishing fleets with state-of-the-art technology. They negligently and irresponsibly decimate the supply of aquatic animals. Today, the fish yield by these expeditions is rapidly diminishing and many types of fish and other aquatic dwellers are threatened with extinction, while others have been exterminated altogether. However, the Third World nations to the South irresponsibly and criminally deplete nature as well. People, criminally and systematically, are cutting down the tropical rain forests; and as of the beginning of 1995, the forests have already been reduced, destroyed or annihilated to half of their original size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The irresponsible degree and speed of environmental changes generated by humans can be clearly witnessed through satellite surveillance. Indeed, remote sensing photos prove that the Aral Sea in the lowlands of Turan in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan has shrunk by 50% in just 30 years, whereby 40% of that reduction occurred within a few years. This outlet-free salt lake is fed by the Amudarja and Syrdarja rivers, which can only reach into the lake during wet years, measured 54,400 square kilometers (21,004 square miles) in area. By 1990 the lake had shrunk by 40% over a period of 15 years, due to water depletion for irrigation. This shrinkage has led to the irrecoverable death of fish in this once fourth largest lake on Earth and has brought to an end the fishing industry and utilization of its fish. The blame rests upon agriculturists  technicians, scientists and the government. One group drained water from the lake for intensive irrigation of gardens and agricultural grounds, the other groups provided the means and ways to do this, while the government in charge authorized everything and looked on without intervening. Such actions occur in nearly all nations on Earth, but are simply modified in one way or another depending on the circumstances. In the Mediterranean Sea, enormous destruction results, therefore, when various types of fertilizers and sewage drift into the sea from the Po river plains, and the Adriatic Sea becomes constantly polluted. The result from this pollution is a growing, horrendous annual algae plague that suffocates all lower life in the sea. Likewise, the harbor towns of Naples, Genoa, Brindisi, Catania, Syracusa, Trapani, Palermo, Marseille and many others contribute their share to this pollution as they simply route their poisonous sewage into the sea.&lt;br /&gt;
A further gigantic, global threat is occurring as the Earth&#039;s ozone layer is depleted as a result of Man&#039;s fault and irresponsibility. Not only is the opening in the ozone layer above the South pole growing larger from year to year but elsewhere as well, for Man is destroying this indispensable protective layer against UV rays. These life-threatening UV rays from space now strike the Earth&#039;s surface more powerfully and endanger every terrestrial life form. Above the Northern hemisphere a rapid thinning of the ozone layer is taking place as it, too, becomes dangerously depleted. The hole in the ozone layer is measurably and noticeably expanding and now reaches the temperate zones, resulting in &amp;quot;black cancer&amp;quot;, or skin cancer in humans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Concurrently, an artificially created greenhouse effect, generated by Man, is developing on a global scale that threatens life on Earth with total climatic collapse. Every type of unnatural catastrophe in nature directly results also from the human destruction mania. Meteorologists are today registering an increase in natural disasters, such as tropical hurricanes or cyclones, and abnormal droughts and floods. Even earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are a part of this scenario, although scientists continue to maintain that these events are purely natural, which is not consistent with the truth. Indeed, every one of these events has not been a totally natural occurrence in the customary, natural extent for a long time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ice caps at the Arctic and Antarctic poles, the icy plains of Greenland and the mountain glaciers are melting down rapidly and may raise worldwide ocean water levels. Entire low-lying island nations, as well as coastal regions will b   endangered and could eventually vanish beneath the rising waters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his absurdity and selfishness, Man, who loves to call himself the crowning glory of Creation, has proliferated to such a degree that he has now become a vicious threat to all life throughout the globe. Man is the greatest menace to the Earth. He has by now initiated dangerous changes to countless lives worldwide, while humankind&#039;s population continues to grow incessantly at a furious, constantly increasing pace. For this reason alone Earth continues to turn into a wasteland. Man&#039;s insane desire to procreate is now leading him to the point where every social, ecological and economic woe is climbing immeasurably beyond the point of recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Man is a part of Earth but he fails to understand the way of life. In his view not every human being is identical to the other, and if one belongs to another color, another race or variety, or if that person is simply a stranger, he or she will not be accepted, but is disregarded or hated, debased and persecuted. Power hungry and powerful individuals grab land an  possessions from the helpless – and Man is dealing likewise with his native land, the Earth. He treats the Earth as a complete stranger, lives strictly for his own benefit and not for harmony between Earth and all life on it. He creeps in like a thief in the night, as a stranger, and robs the Earth of whatever he relishes; or, conversely, he destroys and annihilate  everything on the planet as he pleases. He fails to live in harmony with the planet, his own Mother Earth and, instead, he has become her enemy; immediately upon conquering and subduing one part of her, he moves on to effect the same destruction elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Man treats his native land, the Earth, its atmosphere, its bodies of water, its entire environment and its diverse life forms and species as objects, which he may simply utilize, use, destroy, plunder and then discard and destroy when he is through with them. Man&#039;s voracious appetite for everything the Earth has to offer, and his excessive urge to procreate will ultimately devour and destroy the planet and all life on it, where he will leave nothing behind except for a dead, barren wasteland.   How did terrestrial Man fall into this current dreary and destructive situation? To answer the question, the development from Man &#039;s initial beginnings through to his current development must be considered. Over the past several million years, the human species, known as homo sapiens, continually multiplied to such an extent that it inhabited the entire world. In the first year (year 1 AD) of Christian time calculation, a mere 102.4 million human beings lived on Earth. By the year 1000 AD, Earth&#039;s entire population had grown to 300 million. Wars of all types, plagues and epidemics repeatedly killed millions of people, particularly during the Middle Ages. In Europe, especially during the 14th century, the &amp;quot;black death&amp;quot; decimated the population, whereupon the plague raged and prevailed to such a degree that humans died in great numbers, which ultimately amounted to many millions of deaths. Then, with initial major successes in medicine, Man&#039;s deathrate rapidly dropped off again, which resulted in more births than deaths. The population began growing at an accelerated pace, and by 1810 the population reached its first billion mark. Of course, not only did the number of new inhabitants increase on Earth, but the speed at which they multiplied also escalated. A dramatic problem arose that laid the path for the future destruction of all available living space, all life forms and the planet itself. Inevitably, early warnings were expressed in regard to humanity&#039;s rapid growth increases and their destructive consequences. These warnings were disregarded, however, in the same way they are ignored today, at a time when the entire world is speaking of the global destruction caused by overpopulation. Meanwhile Man continues to suppress the overpopulation problem instead of doing something about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 1926, in a world of 2 billion inhabitants, humankind observed a doubling of its population – after only 116 years. By 1960 the human population had already reached 3 billion, and by 1977 it was 4 billion. Therefore, it took just 51 years for the next doubling of the population. Ten years later, in 1987, the Earth&#039;s population totalled 5.1 billion; and by February 1995, after only a mere eight years – believe it or not – the number climbed to 6 billion. This figure is approximately 300 million higher than the incorrect worldwide statistics indicate. Clearly then, homo sapiens took several million years, about 4.5 million years beginning with the first human being, to reach the population mark of 1 billion, and then it took a mere 185 years to reach a number of human beings on Earth six times that large. These statistics should not come as a surprise, however, when overpopulation advocates such as the Catholic Supreme Shepherd, the Pope, vehemently and cunningly entice people; indeed, through their religious faith they practically force their followers to produce unlimited numbers of children in order to establish for themselves unlimited followers who, in turn, can be exploited by the Catholic Church. The Pope often quotes a biblical edict, which is, mildly put, irrational and criminal. The edict promotes the insanity of cultivating an overpopulation and is expressed in Genesis, Chapter 9, Verse 7 with the following words:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;And as for you, be fruitful and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth and multiply in it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is precisely what happened – and it continues even to this day. The edict is still fostered as a criminal deed against humanity, life and the planet not only by the Pope, his cardinals, bishops, priests and others, but also by their faithful believers. Even some governments, communities and other authorities officially pay large procreation and child support funds to the duped followers of these religions. Furthermore, by blindly adhering to the Pope, followers stifle all common sense from the very start. The Pope not only prohibits an often life-saving or otherwise vital abortion, but also all preventive measures and other birth control devices that would avert a pregnancy and procreation. He and his followers look upon abortion or any type of birth control device as blasphemous and inhumane. Yet, the Pope says nothing about the fact that innumerable women fall into need and misery when they become pregnant and give birth to children, or when the children are abused and mistreated by one or both parents – many women are also abused and mistreated – or when the children miserably starve to death because there is no longer any food for them. Is this demeanor not more abominable and inhumane? Apparently, the Pope&#039;s position bothers neither him nor any of his followers. When one of the faithful questions this approach, he or she pays a small offering as vindication to calm the guilty conscience. Certainly, neither this particular approach nor the sectarian phrases and flowery language will advance terrestrial humanity, nor will they resolve any of the many problems facing mankind – in particular, they will not resolve the greatest problem of them all: the planet&#039;s overpopulation from which all other existing evils and problems throughout the world arise.  Humanity&#039;s growth rate is outpacing food production by leaps and bounds. Only a drastic reduction in terrestrial population, such as through plagues  epidemics, starvation and wars, etc., can the equilibrium reestablish itself, that is if Man fails to come to his senses and does not stop the further increase in overpopulation by logical actions and countermeasures. He must initiate and effect strict, radical birth controls; he must encourage deliberate cessation of births, and must enforce these measures without clemency.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few words must be directed toward food production. A mere 12% of the entire Earth&#039;s landmass surface is entirely arable for agricultural and horticultural purposes. The remainder of the planet&#039;s surface consists of areas that cannot be cultivated, such as mountains, rocky terrains, tundras, arid regions, forests and deserts. However, the 12% arable land is not proportional to the mass of humanity, because one single human being requires by nature a living space of 83,333 square meters (99,665 sq. yds.), and 4000 square meters, or 63.245 x 63.245 meters (4784 sq. yds. or 69.166 x 69.166 yards) of fertile ground or garden soil is required to feed him- or herself. Calculated for 6 billion people, this amounts to a total arable landmass requirement of approximately 24 million square kilometers (9.3 million square miles). Such an expanse is not available, however, because the entire planet&#039;s 12% arable land amounts to 18 million square kilometers (7.0 million square miles) – 6 million square kilometers (2.3 million sq. mi.) less than the 6 billion-strong humanity requires for adequate food production.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This discrepancy widens with every newborn child because the 12% arable landmass neither increases nor remains constant. On the contrary, the surface is reduced daily and dwindles through erosion, desertification and the construction of homes, streets, airports, villages, mega-cities and all types of large sport facilities, etc. etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nine kilograms (19.8 lbs.) of grain are required to produce one kilogram (2.2 lbs.) of beef. One kilogram of meat is equivalent to 1 person&#039;s daily food requirement. By comparison, these same 19.8 lbs. of grain would feed 16 people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today three million fishing boats operate on the world&#039;s oceans and are greatly depleting the supply of fish and other aquatic life forms. Over the past 40 years fishing quotas have tripled. In 1950, 20 million tons of fish and water inhabitants ended up in Man&#039;s food chain. By 1990, this amount increased to 100 million tons per year. Fishermen not only unscrupulously plunder the oceans but also lakes, rivers and creeks for the sake of income and profit – as long as their cash registers are ringing up returns. Business in this regard is conducted at a very professional level, albeit with total nearsightedness and irresponsibility in every aspect. The depletion of fish stocks has led to overfishing in all oceans and other bodies of water. Many ocean and lake creatures no longer have the ability to reproduce, or are depleted to such an extent that they are dying out or have already become extinct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Man now faces the unfortunate situation where the fishermen, farmers, gardeners and others cannot keep pace with the demands of population growth. This means that the many tens of millions of people who are born every year, and who add to the current population masses, will only be fed if the people already alive now restrict their own food consumption. A totally new scenario now comes into play for Man, but he will not adjust to it. Consequently, millions of people will continue to starve to death; indeed, they will starve in ever-increasing numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Earth&#039;s atmosphere and climate present problems as well. In comparison with the size of this Earth, the atmosphere is actually only a very thin layer. Over the past 500 million years, a well-excogitated natural and complex cycle of patterns kept the ratio of various breathable gases for terrestrial life forms at constant levels. Likewise, the temperature range of the air was kept within an extremely narrow range. A natural protective shield formed beneath which a moderate, equally natural greenhouse climate developed and, step by step, a multitude of life forms began to flourish. However, over the last 100 years everything has changed because Man, his technology, production of poisons and other things, interfered with this sensitive equilibrium. He even changed the Earth&#039;s climate and is producing a new, dangerous, life-preventive and destructive greenhouse effect that threatens to slowly destroy everything. This is Man&#039;s self-betrayal that will lead to his own destruction and the annihilation of all life forms and of the planet itself.  Every year 23 billion tons of CO2 are released into the atmosphere through fossil fuel burning and motor vehicle engine combustion; 1 million tons of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are released into the atmosphere by the chemical industry and consumers; 380 million tons of methane gas are generated by cattle farming, rice cultivation and garbage dumps in addition to 11 million tons of nitrogen-monoxide from nitrogen fertilizers and biologic mass burning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beyond a doubt, Man alone is responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer, the greenhouse effect and climatic changes on Earth – the larger the human population on Earth, the worse and more irremediable the situation becomes. Unquestionably, the climatic changes now evident will lead to increases in hurricane activity and other destructive natural events with catastrophic consequences.&lt;br /&gt;
The overpopulation blight prevails simply because women are suppressed, disregarded and abused; they are considered inferior to men and are, therefore, condemned. A great many women have no rights. As a consequence, the men, especially through their religious faiths, threaten and strictly prohibit abortion and the utilization of birth control. These forms of discrimination occur not only within Christianity and its sects, but also in other religions and their associated sects, as the following brief excerpts prove:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Islam/Koran – Sure 4&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Men are above the women, because Allah has given the one part a superiority above the other.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Confucius&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;One hundred girls are not worth as much as one boy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Hinduism&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;A woman must never enjoy independence.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Christian Bible: Paul to the Ephesians in the New Testament&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The women shall be vassals to their men who are their masters.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
The above quotes clearly demonstrate the value of women based upon a religious viewpoint and one upheld by many men. Still, these discriminatory words against women, though spoken in the past, nevertheless prevail even today. Such attitudes also guarantee the abuse of women as being mere birthing machines without being provided the necessary means with which to fight back. This, in turn, ensures that overpopulation is able to freely forge ahead, at an accelerated rate and in a more irretrievable manner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Catholic Church has erected an influential and powerful defense against the prevention of having children, respectively birth control. The Church holds a totally irrational attitude against any form of birth regulation and birth control, hence, it is adamantly against all rights of women and their own decision-making aspirations on children or pregnancy termination. Politicians as well curb women&#039;s rights in this manner. They sit in judgement and rob the women of their freedom by way of national laws. The result: unrestricted increases in birthrates are allowed to thrive in Catholic circles (along with those of other religions) and endanger all life on Earth, indeed, the very existence of the planet. The unrestrained procreation of children without the capability to introduce birthrate cessation and birth control is equivalent to fostering a culture of death. The criminal Holy Chair of Rome, respectively the Pope and all his lieges, have a horrendous power, whereby its occupant (as well as other religions and their representatives) leads all humanity and all life on the planet into misery, desolation, devastation and destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Pope and the College of Cardinals at the Vatican constitute the highest authority of the Catholic Church, which has a worldwide following of approximately 1 billion believers of all races. In 1968, Pope Paul VI&#039;s Encyclical Humanae Vitae came into force, whose title reads as follows: &amp;quot;On the correct order of passing on human life.&amp;quot; Item # 14 describes the forbidden means of birth control in great detail, in the exact manner by which the means were concocted by the Pope, his cardinals and others in order to discriminate against women; to curtail their rights and to permit the continuation of the world population&#039;s uncontrolled growth – to the detriment and destruction of mankind, all life and planet Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Encyclical Humanae Vitae, Item # 14&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The direct termination of a procreation that has already begun, particularly by direct abortion – even when undertaken for curative purposes, is not a legitimate method to curb the number of children and is, therefore, an absolute abomination.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Likewise, the direct, permanent or temporary sterilization of the man or the woman must be condemned.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Equally objectionable is any action that intentionally prevents propagation, or is employed as a means to this prevention in anticipation of, during or after the consummation of the matrimonial act.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 One last item must be mentioned here: Anything the Pope says is hostile to humanity and life, and must simply be ignored, therefore, His prattle is irrelevant. What he says is without actual correlation to the issues now confronting the world and humanity.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Synopsis ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Billy and Ptaah discuss the futility of providing predictions and the futility of the efforts of those in power who attended the recent Copenhagen conference and the pathetically insufficient agreements they managed to produce. The correct solution is again reiterated: population reduction through worldwide birth control. &#039;&#039;James Moore&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

| EXCERPT FROM FIGU SPECIAL BULLETIN No. 51, January, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
| AUSZUG VON FIGU SONDER-BULLETIN Nr. 51, Januar. 2010&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Extract from the 482nd official contact conversation of November 22nd, 2009&lt;br /&gt;
| Auszug aus dem offiziellen 482. Kontaktgespräch vom 22. November 2009&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039; On the 14th of October, in our most recent private conversation, you mentioned, in regard to the predictions, that you would deliberate about whether such predictions should continue to be made or not. So what is the corresponding conclusion?&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039; Am 14. Oktober, bei unserem letzten privaten Gespräch, hast du bezüglich der Voraussagen erwähnt, dass ihr darüber beratschlagen werdet, ob weiterhin noch solche gemacht werden sollen oder nicht. Was ist nun das entsprechende Resultat?&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039; We have found that all the predictions that have been made since 1975 up to the current time have in no way borne any fruit with the Earth human beings. This has been just as much the case with your predictions and prophetic warnings, which were given no heed, consequently many things from your warnings have, in the meantime, come true, and also continue to come true. Therefore, we have come to agree that predictions do not cause Earth humanity to become reasonable. Therefore, we no longer want to draw their attention, by means of predictions, to what the future brings them in terms of evil. For three decades we have made the effort to warn the Earth humans through you and your mission, as you have already done again and again from your side for almost 60 years, which has in no way led to success. So, now we no longer want to prepare clarifications for predictions and we want to end our activity regarding that, which has always taken a great deal of time.&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039; Wir haben befunden, dass alle seit 1975 bis in die heutige Zeit gemachten Voraussagen bei den Erdenmenschen in keiner Weise etwas gefruchtet haben. Dies ebensowenig wie auch deine Voraussagen und prophetischen Warnungen nicht, denen keine Beachtung geschenkt wurde, folglich sich viele Dinge deiner Warnungen inzwischen bewahrheitet haben und auch weiter bewahrheiten. Also sind wir übereingekommen, dass Voraussagen die Erdenmenschheit nicht zur Vernunft finden lassen. Also wollen wir sie nicht mehr mit Voraussagen darauf aufmerksam machen, was die Zukunft an Übeln für sie bringt. Drei Jahrzehnte haben wir uns darum bemüht, die Erdenmenschen durch dich und deine Mission zu warnen, wie du das von deiner Seite aus auch schon seit nahezu 60 Jahren immer wieder getan hast, was jedoch in keiner Weise zu einem Erfolg führte. So wollen wir uns nun nicht mehr um Abklärungen für Voraussagen bemühen und unsere diesbezügliche Tätigkeit beenden, die immer sehr viel Zeit in Anspruch genommen hat.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039; So, no more predictions. That is good and lessens my burdens, which have not seldom weighed heavily on me.&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039; Also keine Voraussagen mehr. Das ist auch gut und schafft mir weniger Belastungen, die mich nicht selten schwer bedrückten.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039; I know that. Many things have also weighed very heavily on me.&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039; Das ist mir bekannt. Auch mich bedrückten viele Dinge sehr.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039; All that can certainly not simply pass over one without a trace. With the whole matter I simply find the stupid and stubborn behaviour of the human beings of the Earth extremely regrettable. Under no circumstances do they want to perceive, recognise or understand the actual truth, namely, that all evil, and the climate change with its natural catastrophes, is only their very own fault, which is founded in the rampant overpopulation. Admittedly, worldwide, there is talk about climate change; also at the climate conferences, as will also be the case again in December in Copenhagen. But nothing intelligent ever comes out of it. That will also be the case in Copenhagen where great and senseless words will be spoken and decisions, which are even more senseless, will be made by all those in positions of responsibility who shut their eyes and senses to the truth. There, stupid and silly speeches will be the order of the day, along with the fact that, as a result of this entire Copenhagen senselessness, enormous amounts of CO2 will be created through which the stock of oxygen on Earth will be even more impaired than it already, catastrophically, has been up until now. And, also, naturally, with the whole idiotic and dim-witted climate protection conference palaver, great masses of crazies from all over the world will organise demonstrations, and the required travel to Copenhagen will blow further enormous amounts of poison gas into the atmosphere, as is the case with the actual conference participants. Just in this regard alone both groups are equally stupid and daft and do not think at all about what they do just with their travel to make the climate catastrophe even worse. But, just as the conference participants will make dim-witted speeches and will decide on completely idiotic and ineffective measures, so are the demands of the demonstrators also dim-witted and idiotic, because they scream just as much for senseless and daft measures which are supposed to be decided by the conference participants and carried out by the countries. The demonstrators are just as stupid and daft as are the conference attendees themselves, in that they only scream for senseless measures, however they utter not a word relating to what the reason for the climate catastrophe is and what must be done about it.&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039; Es kann ja nicht alles einfach spurlos an einem vorübergehen. Beim Ganzen finde ich einfach das dumme und sture Verhalten der Menschen der Erde äusserst bedauerlich. Unter keinen Umständen wollen sie die wirkliche Wahrheit wahrnehmen, sie nicht erkennen und nicht verstehen, nämlich dass alle Übel und die Klimaveränderung mit ihren Naturkatastrophen nur ihre ureigene Schuld ist, die in der grassierenden Überbevölkerung fundiert. Zwar wird weltweit über die Klimaveränderung geredet, auch bei den Klimakonferenzen, wie das auch im Dezember in Kopenhagen wieder der Fall sein wird, dabei kommt jedoch nie etwas Intelligentes heraus. Das wird auch in Kopenhagen der Fall sein, wo grosse und sinnlose Worte geführt und noch sinnlosere Entschlüsse gefasst werden durch all die Verantwortlichen, die ihre Augen und Sinne vor der Wahrheit verschliessen. Dummes und blödes Gerede gehört dabei zur Tagesordnung, nebst dem, dass durch diese ganze Kopenhagener Sinnlosigkeit Unmengen CO2 geschaffen werden, durch die der Sauerstoffbestand der Erde noch mehr geschädigt wird, als dies bisher schon katastrophal der Fall ist. Und natürlich werden beim ganzen idiotischen und schwachsinnigen Klimaschutzkonferenztheater auch wieder aus aller Welt grosse Massen Verrückte für Demonstrationen sorgen, durch deren Anreise nach Kopenhagen abermals Unmengen Giftgase in die Atmosphäre geblasen werden, wie im Fall der eigentlichen Konferenzteilnehmer. Allein schon in dieser Beziehung sind beide Gruppierungen gleich blöd und dämlich und machen sich keine Gedanken darüber, was sie allein mit ihrer Anreise tun, um die Klimakatastrophe noch zu verschlimmern. Wie aber die Konferenzteilnehmer schwachsinnige Reden führen und völlig idiotische und unwirksame Massnahmen beschliessen werden, so sind auch die Forderungen der Demonstrierenden schwachsinnig und idiotisch, weil sie gleichermassen nach unsinnigen und dämlichen Massnahmen schreien, die von den Konferenzteilnehmern beschlossen und durch die Staaten durchgeführt werden sollen. Wie die Konferenzler selbst, sind auch die Demonstranten derart dumm und dämlich, dass sie nur nach sinnlosen Massnahmen schreien, jedoch kein Wort in bezug darauf verlieren, was der Grund der Klimakatastrophe ist und was dagegen getan werden muss.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| None of these brain-amputated demonstrators who go around bellowing, and, likewise, none of the brainless conference participants, have sufficient intelligence to recognise that the true reason for the stark climate change, and the resulting and incessantly increasing natural catastrophes, is the rampant overpopulation. They are all too stupid and daft to get to the bottom of the actual truth and also to understand it, and to understand that finally something must be done about the overpopulation, because only such measures can be effective. The fact is that, namely, only a very quick, regulated, worldwide control of births can be useful, as a result of which, very many more human beings die a natural death than are born. But that is something that not only the conference attendees and the respective demonstrators have to finally comprehend, rather it is something that the entire terrestrial humanity must finally understand and convert into action. Neither private desires for children nor the supposed private right concerning descendents can play any role in this at all. As a result of the overpopulation, created by the Earth human beings, and the climatic catastrophe which is thereby evoked, the human beings of the Earth must - as a result of their responsibility for the planet, its nature, the fauna and flora, as well as for the further existence of terrestrial humanity - rationally forgo their supposed right to simply be permitted to beget descendents according to their free will. The mass must be regulated and correspond to the responsibility regarding what is supportable and indeed without ifs and buts and without selfish affectations. The time, reason and the stark climate change demand that a worldwide, and radically effective, control of births is carried out very quickly so that the rabbit-like proliferation of humanity ceases and nature can again, in the course of time, normalise and regulate itself. Certainly that is a very, very long process which will be calculated in centuries, but it is actually the only way in which a solution will be approached and the need to be saved from the worst can be prevented. And furthermore to say about that is that everything catastrophic with which the planet Earth, its fauna and flora, the human beings, the atmosphere and, with that, also the climate, is afflicted, is criminal and is based on all the things that the human being of the Earth has created. To that also belongs the production of nourishment for all the human beings, through which monstrous quantities of poisons of all kinds enter the soil and the atmosphere, pollute everything and powerfully advance climate change. When one considers just the many millions of animals and all the other creatures that are bred as nourishment and, through whose breathing and colonic gasses, monstrous amounts of poison gas enter the air, then one can see that that is already a catastrophe. If then, in regard to this, however, one considers how much fodder this livestock needs, and how this could nourish innumerable human beings, because it is fodder that the human beings could also use as nourishment, then naked horror arises in the rationally thinking human being. And if, regarding this, one further considers that, of the 7,600,000,000 human beings who exist on the Earth today, 1,346,000,000 human beings are starving and innumerable die of hunger, then it must be asked; how long will it actually continue until the majority of human beings of the Earth finally are pregnant with intelligence and reason and begin to think and to act. There is unfortunately only a small handful of human beings of the Earth who are capable of using intelligence and reason and, furthermore, they are not mighty ones of the state, academics or others with big names: consequently, the simple humans, without great office and title, are not listened to when they have something significant and important to say. That has already been the case since time immemorial.&lt;br /&gt;
| Keinem dieser gehirn amputierten herumbrüllenden Demonstrierenden, wie auch nicht den gehirnlosen Konferenzteilnehmern, reicht die Intelligenz derart weit, dass sie den wahren Grund der krassen Klimaveränderung und den daraus resultierenden und unaufhaltsam weiter zunehmenden Naturkatastrophen in der grassierenden Überbevölkerung erkennen. Sie alle sind zu dumm und dämlich, um der wirklichen Wahrheit auf den Grund zu gehen und sie auch zu verstehen, und dass endlich etwas gegen die Überbevölkerung getan werden muss, weil nur solche Massnahmen etwas bewirken können. Tatsächlich kann nämlich nur eine sehr schnell geregelte weltweite Geburtenkontrolle einen Nutzen bringen, durch die sehr viel mehr Menschen eines natürlichen Todes sterben, als neue Geburten stattfinden. Das ist aber etwas, das nicht nur die Konferenzler und die jeweiligen Demonstranten endlich begreifen müssen, sondern etwas, das die ganze irdische Menschheit endlich verstehen und in die Tat umsetzen muss. Dabei dürfen die privaten Wünsche nach Kindern und das vermeintliche private Recht in bezug auf Nachkommenschaft keinerlei Rolle spielen. Durch die von den Erdenmenschen geschaffene Überbevölkerung und die dadurch hervorgerufene Klimakatastrophe müssen die Menschen der Erde infolge ihrer Verantwortung für den Planeten, dessen Natur, die Fauna und Flora sowie für das Weiterbestehen der irdischen Menschheit vernünftigerweise auf ihr vermeintliches Recht verzichten, einfach nach freiem Willen Nachkommen zeugen zu dürfen. Das Mass muss geregelt sein und der tragbaren Verantwortung entsprechen, und zwar ohne Wenn und Aber und ohne selbstsüchtige Allüren. Die Zeit, die Vernunft und der krasse Klimawandel fordern, dass sehr schnell eine weltumfassende und radikal greifende Geburtenkontrolle durchgeführt wird, damit die karnickelhafte Vermehrung der Menschheit aufhört und sich die Natur im Laufe der Zeit wieder normalisieren und regulieren kann. Zwar ist das dann ein sehr, sehr langer Prozess, der mit Jahrhunderten zu berechnen ist, doch ist es tatsächlich der einzige Weg, auf dem einer Lösung entgegengeschritten werden und noch eine Rettung vor dem Schlimmsten verhindert werden kann. Und zu sagen ist dazu noch, dass all das Katastrophale, das dem Planeten Erde, dessen Fauna und Flora, den Menschen, der Atmosphäre und damit auch dem Klima angetan wird, verbrecherisch ist und in allen Dingen beruht, die der Mensch der Erde erschaffen hat. Dazu gehört auch die Nahrungsbeschaffung für all die Menschen, durch die ungeheure Mengen Giftstoffe aller Art ins Erdreich und in die Atmosphäre gelangen, alles verpesten und den Klimawandel mächtig fördern. Wenn allein an die vielen Millionen Tiere und all das sonstige Getier gedacht wird, die zur Nahrung gezüchtet und durch deren Atmung und Winde ungeheure Giftgasmengen in die Luft gelangen, dann ist schon das eine Katastrophe. Wird dabei aber noch dessen bedacht, wieviel Futter diese Viecher brauchen, und wobei dieses unzählige Menschen ernähren könnte, weil es Futter ist, das auch die Menschen als Nahrung nutzen könnten, dann steigt im vernünftigdenkenden Menschen das blanke Grauen hoch. Und wird dabei weiter bedacht, dass von den heute auf der Erde existierenden 7,6 Milliarden Menschen deren 1,346 Milliarden Menschen hungern und Unzählige des Hungers sterben, dann muss gefragt werden, wie lange es eigentlich noch dauert, bis das Gros der Menschen der Erde endlich des Verstandes und der Vernunft trächtig wird und zu denken und zu handeln beginnt. Die Menschen der Erde, die des Gebrauchs von Verstand und Vernunft fähig sind, die sind leider nur eine kleine Handvoll und zudem nicht Staatsmächtige, Akademiker oder sonstige mit grossen Namen, folglich nicht auf sie gehört wird, wenn einfache Menschen ohne grosse Ämter und Titel etwas Bedeutendes und Wichtiges zu sagen haben. Das ist schon seit alters her der Fall.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039; You have already taught all of that since your childhood, but, unfortunately, there are only a few Earth human beings who pay attention to your words, your warnings and your teaching.&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039; Das alles lehrst du schon seit deiner Kindheit, doch leider sind es nur wenige Erdenmenschen,die deinen Worten, deinen Mahnungen und deiner Lehre Beachtung schenken.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039; Unfortunately that is true, at least in regard to the majority of all human beings, because it is indeed done here and there, however only sparsely, if one considers the great mass of humanity. And it is also these isolated human beings who are very grateful that I raise my words and teach the truth even if that does not please many adversaries, know-it-alls, stirrers and critics.&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039; Leider ist das so, zumindest in bezug auf das Gros aller Menschen, denn vereinzelt wird es doch getan, zwar nur in spärlichem Rahmen, wenn man der grossen Masse Menschheit bedenkt. Und diese vereinzelten Menschen sind es auch, die sehr dankbar dafür sind, dass ich mein Wort erhebe und die Wahrheit lehre, auch wenn das vielen Widersachern, Besserwissern, Stänkerern und Kritikern nicht gefällt.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039; That will unfortunately also not change greatly in the present time. Consequently it will continue to only be isolated Earth humans who will turn to what you teach.&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039; Das wird sich zur gegenwärtigen Zeit leider auch nicht gross ändern. Folglich werden sich weiterhin nur vereinzelt Erdenmenschen dem zuwenden, was du lehrst.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039; I know that. It takes time for everything, especially the truth, to penetrate and stimulate the human being’s intelligence and reason.&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039; Das weiss ich. Alles braucht seine Zeit, dass es durchdringt und den Verstand und die Vernunft der Menschen anregt, insbesondere die Wahrheit.&lt;br /&gt;

|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Mr. Meier, I do not belong to any religion or any sect and I am just not sure what I should think about the minaret initiative [referendum]. What is you attitude, and that of FIGU, in regard to religions and to their sects? And what is it, in regard to faith and the believers? And what is your opinion in regard to the passing of the minaret referendum and the spreading of Islam in Switzerland, and outside of the Islamic countries in general? And what, fundamentally, have you to say regarding religions and sects?&lt;br /&gt;
| Herr Meier, ich gehöre keiner Religion und keiner Sekte an und bin mir nun nicht sicher, was ich wegen der Minarettinitiative denken soll. Was ist Ihre und des Vereins FIGU Einstellung zu den Religionen und zu deren Sekten? Und wie zum Glauben und zu den Gläubigen? Und was ist Ihre Meinung zur Annahme der Minarettinitiative und der Islamausbreitung in der Schweiz und ausserhalb der islamischen Länder überhaupt? Und was haben Sie grundsätzlich bezüglich Religionen und Sekten zu sagen?&lt;br /&gt;

| &#039;&#039;&#039;Antwort&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Your question cannot be answered with a few words, consequently I must range a little further afield. The FIGU society is independent, apolitical, free, mediatory and supra-denominational, which naturally also applies to my person. For the society, as well as for me, religions and sects are institutions and groups which are far from our everyday life and beyond the result of our logical thoughts and feelings. Religions and sects correspond to organisations and groups which stultify the truth and the consciousness and through which the human being is led away from actual reality and its truth, and, through which, by means of false teachings, he is beaten into serfdom and his consciousness is kept enslaved. This occurs along with this: that with nonsensical, false teachings, the believers are financially exploited, and not few of them are sexually abused, and so forth. For this, and other reasons, the FIGU society, and I, distance ourselves from all religions and their sects, which are atrocious, mighty enterprises and have, since time immemorial, brought misery and want, as well as terror, murder, manslaughter, hate, jealously, destruction and war over the Earth and its humanity - and also still do so today. Religions and sects are consciousness-stupefying spreaders of fallacious teachings, through which uncountable believers are led into error, are exploited and are kept far from reality and its truth. That, briefly, is what I have to say in regard to religions, sects and faiths. If further answers in this direction are important for you then I recommend to you my book, &amp;quot;God-delusion and God-delusion Disease&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
| Ihre Frage kann nicht mit wenigen Worten beantwortet werden, folglich ich etwas weiter ausholen muss: Der Verein FIGU ist unabhängig, unpolitisch, frei, vermittelnd und überkonfessionell, was natürlich auch auf meine Person zutrifft. Religionen und Sekten sind sowohl für den Verein wie auch für mich Institutionen und Gruppierungen, die fern unseres Alltags und ausserhalb unseres logischen Gedanken- und Gefühlsgutes sind. Religionen und Sekten entsprechen wahrheits- und bewusstseinsverdummenden Organisationen und Gruppierungen, durch die die Menschen von der effectiven Wirklichkeit und deren Wahrheit weggeführt, mit Irrlehren in Knechtschaft geschlagen und in bewusstseinsmässiger Sklaverei gehalten werden. Dies nebst dem, dass mit unsinnigen Irrlehren eine finanzielle Ausbeutung der Gläubigen betrieben wird und nicht deren wenige sexuell missbraucht werden usw. Aus diesen und anderen Gründen distanzieren sich der Verein FIGU und auch ich von allen Religionen und deren Sekten, die greuelhafte Machtunternehmen sind und seit alters her Elend und Not sowie Terror, Mord, Totschlag, Hass, Eifersucht, Zerstörung und Krieg über die Erde und deren Menschheit brachten – und es auch noch heute tun. Religionen und Sekten sind bewusstseinsverblödende Irrlehrenverbreiter, durch die unzählige Gläubige in die Irre geführt, ausgebeutet und von der Wirklichkeit und deren Wahrheit ferngehalten werden. Das in kurzer Weise, was ich in bezug auf Religionen, Sekten und Glauben zu sagen habe. Wenn für Sie weitere Antworten in dieser Richtung wichtig sind, dann empfehle ich Ihnen mein Buch ‹Gotteswahn und Gotteswahnkrankheit›.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| There is something to say, from my point of view and that of the FIGU society, as well as regarding our attitude concerning faiths, religion and sects, as well as in regard to our opinion about the minaret initiative and the spreading of Islam. We are, in every regard, absolutely antireligious. We belong to no religion and no sect and are also no such religion or sect. We also do not count ourselves as atheists, although, like them, we acknowledge no divinity because God only corresponds to a highly-imaginative and illusory fantasy of the human brain. Our teaching starts with a Creation Universal Consciousness that has a natural origin and evolutive form, from which everything came about in a natural way by means of evolution, and further evolves. The whole thing is based on a natural intelligence through which everything exists and develops, and which, however, does not interfere in any of the matters, of any form at all, of the creatures, respectively, creations which came forth from it by means of evolution. This is the reality and its truth, consequently we can assume from this to be knowing in regard to this, whereby this knowledge and this knowing is not compatible with any belief.&lt;br /&gt;
| Aus Sicht des Vereins FIGU und mir sowie hinsichtlich unserer Einstellung zu Glauben, Religion und Sekten sowie in bezug auf unsere Meinung zur Minarettinitiative und der Ausbreitung des Islam ist einiges zu sagen. Wir sind in jeder Beziehung absolut antireligiös, gehören keiner Religion und keiner Sekte an und sind auch keine solche. Wir rechnen uns auch nicht zu den Atheisten, obwohl wir wie diese keine Gottheit anerkennen, weil Gott nur einem menschlichen phantasievollen und illusorischen Gehirngespinst entspricht. Unsere Lehre geht von einer Schöpfung Universalbewusstsein aus, die natürlichen Ursprungs und evolutiver Form ist, aus der heraus evolutionsmässig auch alles in natürlicher Weise entstand und weiter evolutioniert. Das Ganze beruht in einer natürlichen Intelligenz, durch die alles existiert und sich entwickelt, die sich jedoch in keinerlei Belange irgendwelcher Form der aus ihr evolutionsmässig hervorgegangenen Kreaturen resp. Schöpfungen einmischt. Dies ist die Wirklichkeit und deren Wahrheit, folglich wir davon ausgehen können, diesbezüglich Wissende zu sein, wobei dieses Wissen und Wissendsein mit keinem Glauben vereinbar ist.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Our attitude in regard to belief and to the believers in religions and sects is very simple. Fundamentally we tolerate them all and do not interfere in their machinations. The religious and sect believers are, for us, no more and no less than simple human beings who maintain their own belief which is, for us, taboo and therefore incontestable. If a human being is a member of a religious or sectarian faith then that is his matter alone and is none of our business. Each human being can think and believe what he wants according to his conscience, as has been recorded, as follows, by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:&lt;br /&gt;
| Unsere Einstellung zum Glauben und zu den Gläubigen der Religionen und Sekten ist sehr einfach. Grundsätzlich tolerieren wir sie alle und mischen uns nicht ein in deren Machenschaften. Die religiösen und sektiererischen Gläubigen sind für uns nicht mehr und nicht weniger als einfach Menschen, die ihren eigenen Glauben pflegen, der für uns tabu und also unanfechtbar ist. Ist ein Mensch einem religiösen oder sektiererischen Glauben anhängig, dann ist das seine alleinige Angelegenheit und geht uns nichts an. Jeder Mensch kann gemäss seinem Gewissen denken und glauben, was er will, wie das durch die Allgemeine Erklärung der Menschenrechte folgendermassen festgehalten ist:&lt;br /&gt;

| Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.&lt;br /&gt;
| Jeder Mensch hat Anspruch auf Gedanken-, Gewissens- und Religionsfreiheit; dieses Recht umfasst die Freiheit, seine Religion oder seine Überzeugung zu wechseln, sowie die Freiheit, seine Religion oder seine Überzeugung allein oder in Gemeinschaft mit anderen, in der Öffentlichkeit oder privat, durch Lehre, Ausübung, Gottesdienst und Vollziehung von Riten zu bekunden.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| The FIGU society holds to that and therefore so do I, consequently we do not discriminate against any believers, and indeed it makes no difference which religion or sect they belong to. However, that which we do attack are the religions and their sects with their unbelievably consciousness-stultifying, fallacious teachings of the God-delusion and the God-delusion disease. These are schizophrenic products of delusion, which are, by means of false teachings, hammered into the believers through dishonest machinations and which impair the intelligence as well as reason and only allow them to make delusional decisions. Angst about a hammered-in, divine punishment does not allow the believer to be himself anymore, rather only to be humble before an imaginary god who screams for blood and revenge and who lacks any real humanity. With indoctrination, the religious representatives, such as priests, ministers, preachers and the pope, and so forth, as well as sect gurus, compel the clueless human beings with violence, false teachings and lies towards erroneous, delusional belief, and belief in God. This delusion establishes itself in them and is further inherited from generation to generation, consequently the human beings continue to become further removed from the effective reality and its truth. And what is thereby obtained is the fact that the faithful no longer have any of their own freedom and opinions, because, through the religious and sectarian indoctrination, they become completely lost and only orientate themselves towards that which the false teachings of the religions and sects wrongly teach and hammer into them, to become opinion. But exactly this indoctrination of opinion contradicts the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which quite clearly and unambiguously demands that every human being has the right to a free opinion:&lt;br /&gt;
| Daran halten sich der Verein FIGU und also auch ich, folglich wir keine Gläubigen diskriminieren, und zwar ganz gleich, welcher Religion oder Sekte sie angehören. Was wir allerdings angreifen, das sind die Religionen und ihre Sekten mit den unglaublich bewusstseinsverdummenden Irrlehren, dem Gotteswahn und der Gotteswahnkrankheit. Schizophrene Wahngebilde, die den Gläubigen durch unlautere Machenschaften irrlehremässig eingehämmert werden, die den Verstand sowie die Vernunft beeinträchtigen und sie nur noch wahngläubige Entscheidungen treffen lassen. Angst vor einer eingehämmerten göttlichen Strafe lässt die Gläubigen nicht mehr sich selbst, sondern nur noch demütig sein – vor einem imaginären nach Blut und Rache schreienden Gott, dem jede wirkliche Menschlichkeit fehlt. Indoktrinierend zwingen die Religionsvertreter, wie Priester, Pfaffen, Prediger und der Papst usw. sowie Sektengurus, die unbedarften Menschen mit Gewalt, Irrlehren und Lügen zum irren Wahn- und Gottesglauben. Dieser Wahn setzt sich in ihnen fest und wird weitervererbt, von Generation zu Generation, folglich die Menschen immer weiter von der effectiven Wirklichkeit und deren Wahrheit abkommen. Und was damit erwirkt wird, ist die Tatsache, dass die Gläubigen keine eigene Freiheit und Meinung mehr haben, denn durch die religiöse und sektiererische Indoktrinierung gehen diese völlig verloren und richten sich nur noch darauf aus, was die religiösen und sektiererischen Irrlehren als Meinung misslehren und ihnen einhämmern. Genau diese Meinungs- indoktrinierung widerspricht aber der Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte, die ganz klar und eindeutig fordert, dass jeder Mensch das Recht auf eine freie Meinung hat:&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Article 19&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Artikel 19&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Freedom of Opinion and Information&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Meinungs- und Informationsfreiheit&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.&lt;br /&gt;
| Jeder Mensch hat das Recht auf freie Meinungsäusserung; dieses Recht umfasst die Freiheit, Meinungen unangefochten anzuhängen und Informationen und Ideen mit allen Verständigungsmitteln ohne Rücksicht auf Grenzen zu suchen, zu empfangen und zu verbreiten.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| As a result of the religious and sectarian indoctrination, however, the believer no longer has his own free opinion, rather only the belief-delusion opinion which was hammered into him by religions and sects, consequently he, at least in this relationship, can no longer form his own opinion and also can no longer hold such an opinion. Therefore, only a hammered-in, terribly religious, and sectarian, opinion is held, through which religious hate also comes about. Fundamentally, in Switzerland we have freedom of thought and religious freedom as it is clearly and distinctly recorded in the quoted Human Rights article. Nevertheless religious freedom is disregarded, as is also the case with the ban on minarets. The threadbare excuse that the Islamic religion is not targeted with the ban holds no water because, for the faithful, a minaret with a half moon on the top is - like a church steeple - no more and no less a symbol of their cult&#039;s building and of their religious cult. The whole thing has nothing to do with extremism and terrorism, rather, singly and alone with a symbol of a religious cult. If now, insanely, a ban is decreed for the Islamic cult&#039;s minaret, as a result of religious hatred and race hatred, as well as as a result of disinformation and overflowing cowardice in regard to Islam - which in no manner is to equate with the terror of the extreme and radical Islamists - then it would only be fair if the towers and the ringing of bells of the Christian soul-launching-pads, with their rooster or cross of Christ on the top, were also forbidden. Church towers are also a sign and symbol of a religious cult, specifically the Christian cult, therefore also these need to be eliminated if the minarets of Islamic mosques are to be forbidden. The same would also have to apply for synagogues and temples if these had towers, minarets and the like as the cult buildings&#039; marks of identification. But such a deed would actually be just as crazy as the ban on minarets, about which it can only be said that the Islamic believers and their dignity and equality and equal worth, as well as the sisterhood and brotherhood, are thereby also defamed and thrown in the filth. There is also an article about that in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which was likewise disregarded by the minaret proscribers, and which says:&lt;br /&gt;
| Durch die religiöse und sektiererische Indoktrination hat der Gläubige jedoch keine eigene freie Meinung mehr, sondern nur noch die ihm durch Religionen und Sekten eingehämmerte Glaubenswahnmeinung, folglich er zumindest in dieser Beziehung sich keine eigene Meinung mehr bilden und auch eine solche nicht mehr vertreten kann. Also wird nur noch eine stinkreligiöse und sektiererische sowie eingehämmerte Meinung vertreten, durch die auch Religionshass entsteht. Grundsätzlich haben wir in der Schweiz Gedanken- und Religionsfreiheit, wie im aufgeführten Artikel der Menschenrechte klar und deutlich festgehalten ist. Nichtsdestotrotz wird die Religionsfreiheit missachtet, wie das auch mit dem Minarettverbot der Fall ist. Die fadenscheinige Ausrede, dass mit dem Verbot nicht die islamische Religion gemeint sei, die zieht nicht, denn ein Minarett mit einem Halbmond auf der Spitze ist, wie ein Kirchturm, nicht mehr und nicht weniger für die Gläubigen als nur ein Symbol ihres Kultgebäudes und ihres Religionskultes. Mit Extremismus und Terrorismus hat das Ganze nichts zu tun, sondern einzig und allein mit einem Religionskultsymbol. Wenn nun verrückterweise durch Religionshass und Rassenhass sowie durch Desinformation und triefende Feigheit in bezug auf den Islam, der in keiner Art und Weise mit dem Terror der extremen und radikalen Islamisten gleichzusetzen ist, für die Minarette des Islamkultes ein Verbot erlassen wird, dann wäre es nur des Rechtens, wenn auch die Türme und das Glockengeläute der christlichen Seelenabschussrampen mit ihrem Gockel oder Christuskreuz auf der Spitze verboten würden. Auch Kirchtürme sind ein Zeichen und Symbol eines Religionskultes, eben des Christenkultes, also gehören auch diese eliminiert, wenn für die Moscheen des Islam die Minarette verboten werden. Gleiches müsste dann auch zutreffen für Synagogen und Tempel, wenn diese Türme, Minarette und dergleichen als Kennzeichen der Kultgebäude hätten. Aber tatsächlich wäre ein solches Tun ebenso hirnrissig wie das Minarettverbot, zu dem nur gesagt werden kann, dass damit auch die Islamgläubigen und ihre Würde und Gleichheit, die Gleichberechtigung sowie die Schwesterlichkeit und Brüderlichkeit diffamiert und in den Dreck gestossen werden. Auch dazu gibt es einen Artikel in der Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte, der von den Minarettverbietern ebenfalls missachtet wurde und der besagt:&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Article 1&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Artikel 1&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.&lt;br /&gt;
| Alle Menschen sind frei und gleich an Würde und Rechten geboren. Sie sind mit Vernunft und Gewissen begabt und sollen einander im Geiste der Brüderlichkeit begegnen.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| And in regard to this - that all human beings are equal before the law - article 7 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is also violated as a result of the ban on minarets. This is namely because, the Islamic believers, who are also human beings, as are Christians and other believers of other religions, are, with the ban on minarets, refused the right, which they were promised, concerning their equality before the law in regard to their right in the matter of religion, and cult buildings in accordance with their religiously defined building tradition. This description is not farfetched because with some intelligence and reason these facts can be derived from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:&lt;br /&gt;
| Und bezüglich dessen, dass vor dem Gesetz alle Menschen gleich sind, wird durch das Minarettverbot auch der Artikel 7 der Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte verletzt. Dies, weil nämlich den Islamgläubigen, die auch Menschen sind, wie die Christen und sonstigen Gläubigen anderer Religionen, in bezug auf ihre Gleichheit vor dem Gesetz hinsichtlich ihres Rechtes in Sachen Religion und Kultgebäuden gemäss ihrer religiös geprägten gebäulichen Tradition mit dem Minarettverbot das ihnen zugesicherte Recht verwehrt wird. Diese Darlegung ist nicht weit hergeholt, denn mit etwas Verstand und Vernunft lässt sich aus der Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte diese Tatsache ableiten:&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Article 7&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Artikel 7&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Equality Before the Law&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Gleichheit vor dem Gesetz&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination.&lt;br /&gt;
| Alle Menschen sind vor dem Gesetz gleich und haben ohne Unterschied Anspruch auf gleichen Schutz durch das Gesetz. Alle haben Anspruch auf den gleichen Schutz gegen jede unterschiedliche Behandlung, welche die vorliegende Erklärung verletzen würde, und gegen jede Aufreizung zu einer derartigen unterschiedlichen Behandlung.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| In its further meaning, equality before the law therefore means that, also in regard to their religious acquisitions, just as with religious cult buildings, human beings are permitted to erect such according to their tradition, and that it is nobody&#039;s business to forbid this, and it certainly makes no difference which religion or other cult it concerns. That is therefore also equality before the law, consequently the protection of the law also relates to human beings&#039; religious and cultic buildings, which have, for them, a great ideological and psychic significance. To willingly offend against that, as for example, with the ban on minarets, amounts not only to a breach in regard to human rights, rather it is also a groundless impertinence and a catastrophic interference in the realm of the legally-guaranteed freedom of belief, and the associated cult buildings. When, legally, there is a freedom of belief and religious freedom, then that alone already also stipulates that every religious community of the faithful, and other kinds of religious communities of faith, must be entitled to their own cult buildings and, that is to say, in the normal, traditional context and extent. If this is not dealt with in this way then the law is disregarded and broken. And that is also true in regard to the Islamic cult buildings, respectively, the mosques, for which the minarets are the public symbols.&lt;br /&gt;
| Gleichheit vor dem Gesetz bedeutet also in weiterem Sinn, dass die Menschen auch in bezug auf ihre religiösen Errungenschaften, wie eben religiöse Kultgebäude, ihrer Tradition gemäss solche erstellen dürfen und dass es niemandem ansteht, dies zu verbieten, und zwar ganz gleich, um welche Religion oder sonstigen Kult es sich handelt. Auch das ist also Gleichheit vor dem Gesetz, folglich sich der Schutz des Gesetzes auch auf des Menschen religiöse und kultische Gebäulichkeiten bezieht, die für ihn eine grosse ideologische und psychische Bedeutung haben. Willentlich dagegen zu verstossen, wie z.B. durch das Minarettverbot, kommt nicht nur einem Bruch in bezug auf die Menschenrechte gleich, sondern es ist auch eine bodenlose Frechheit und eine katastrophale Einmischung in den Bereich der durch die Gesetze garantierte Glaubensfreiheit und die damit verbundenen Kultbauten. Allein schon wenn gesetzmässig eine Glaubens- und Religionsfreiheit gegeben ist, dann bedingt das auch, dass jeder Religions- und sonstigen religiösen Glaubensgemeinschaft ihre eigenen Kultgebäude zugestanden werden müssen, und zwar im normalen traditionellen Rahmen und Umfang. Wird dem nicht so gehandelt, dann wird das Gesetz missachtet und gebrochen. Und das gilt auch in bezug auf die islamischen Kultgebäude resp. die Moscheen, deren offenes Zeichen die Minarette sind.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| With the ban on minarets, not only is the dignity and freedom and the equality of Muslims put into question, radically curtailed and trampled under foot, they are also, in evil and gross measure, discriminated against and criminalised. This is a fact which, again, also offends against the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and is indeed clearly recorded and explained in the following:&lt;br /&gt;
| Mit dem Minarettverbot wird nicht nur die Würde und Freiheit und die Gleichheit der Muslima und Muslime in Frage gestellt, radikal beschnitten und mit Füssen getreten, sondern sie werden auch in bösem und grobem Masse diskriminiert und kriminalisiert. Eine Tatsache, die auch wieder wider die Allgemeine Erklärung der Menschenrechte verstösst, wird doch da folgendes festgehalten und erklärt:&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Article 2&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Artikel 2&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ban on Discrimination&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Verbot der Diskriminierung&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1. Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.&lt;br /&gt;
| 1. Jeder Mensch hat Anspruch auf die in dieser Erklärung verkündeten Rechte und Freiheiten, ohne irgendeine Unterscheidung, wie etwa nach Rasse, Farbe, Geschlecht, Sprache, Religion, politischer und sonstiger Überzeugung, nationaler oder sozialer Herkunft, nach Eigentum, Geburt oder sonstigen Umständen.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 2. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.&lt;br /&gt;
| 2. Weiter darf keine Unterscheidung gemacht werden auf Grund der politischen, rechtlichen oder internationalen Stellung des Landes oder Gebietes, dem eine Person angehört, ohne Rücksicht darauf, ob es unabhängig ist, unter Treuhandschaft steht, keine Selbstregierung besitzt oder irgendeiner anderen Beschränkung seiner Souveränität unterworfen ist.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| If the ban on minarets is now considered, then it is clear that this offends, in its entire extent, against several articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. That is not only very regrettable, rather also shameful for Switzerland, which up until now, had a good reputation worldwide as a state founded on the rule of law - a reputation which is now enormously tarnished with the ban on minarets. Besides that, I must say, as a Swiss citizen, that I am very deeply ashamed for all those who are responsible - to which not only the initiators belong, rather also all the voters who supported the ban with their votes - for this monstrous lack of tolerance in regard to the ban on minarets, and the associated hatred against Islam.&lt;br /&gt;
| Wenn nun das Minarettverbot betrachtet wird, dann wird klar, dass dieses im gesamten Umfang gegen mehrere Artikel der Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte verstösst. Das ist nicht nur sehr bedauerlich, sondern auch beschämend für die Schweiz, die bis anhin einen guten weltweiten Ruf als Rechtsstaat hatte, der nunmehr mit dem Minarettverbot gewaltig angekratzt ist. Ausserdem muss ich sagen, dass ich mich als Schweizer für alle jene in Grund und Boden schäme, welche für diese ungeheure Toleranzlosigkeit in bezug auf das Minarettverbot und den damit verbundenen Islamhass verantwortlich sind, wozu nicht nur die Initianten gehören, sondern auch all die Wählenden, die mit ihrer Stimme für das Verbot eingetreten sind.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Population Time Bomb&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unless rigorous and responsible efforts are taken by individuals in all governments and leadership positions to limit population growth by mandatory birth restrictions, overpopulation and its inevitable consequences will spiral out of control leaving humanity to torment in its own self-created misery. In a nutshell, the unchecked population explosion will ever increasingly multiply our global problems because it is the root cause of our problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here is a partial list of the effects of overpopulation:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depletion of all resources.&lt;br /&gt;
Depletion of forests for farmland and wood.&lt;br /&gt;
Diminishing quality of atmosphere, increasing air pollution and lowering of oxygen levels.&lt;br /&gt;
Extinction of flora and fauna due to destruction of natural habitats.&lt;br /&gt;
Soil degradation as a result of over-cultivation.&lt;br /&gt;
Increasing food shortages leading to malnourishment, starvation, diminishing health and disease.&lt;br /&gt;
Decreasing quality and increasing cost of food.&lt;br /&gt;
Depletion of fish stocks in our rivers, lakes, seas and oceans.&lt;br /&gt;
Poisoning of fresh water supplies due to industry.&lt;br /&gt;
Overrunning of fertile land as a result of urban sprawl.&lt;br /&gt;
Ever expanding garbage and dump sites leading to further pollution of land and water.&lt;br /&gt;
Melting of the glacial polar caps due to global warming resulting in the flooding of low lying populated areas.&lt;br /&gt;
Intensification of storm patterns which include typhoons, hurricanes and tornadoes.&lt;br /&gt;
Flooding and droughts.&lt;br /&gt;
Desertification.&lt;br /&gt;
Immense rolling fire storms due to the lack of moisture in conjunction with high winds.&lt;br /&gt;
Tectonic displacements due to the immense concentrated weights of cities.&lt;br /&gt;
Further destruction of the ozone layer leading to an increase in cases of skin cancer.&lt;br /&gt;
Exhaustion of oil supplies, transportation as we know it will come to a standstill.&lt;br /&gt;
Global tensions, vying for resources, water wars.&lt;br /&gt;
Increasing criminality as a means of survival.&lt;br /&gt;
Increasing flow of refugees from war torn nations into neighbouring countries leading to difficult economic pressures placed on the hosting countries and subsequently, breeding hatred towards foreigners.&lt;br /&gt;
Further exploitation of the weak and vulnerable for financial gain.&lt;br /&gt;
Increasing disease and epidemics due to the lack of sanitation, nourishment, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
Sexual exploitation of women and children.&lt;br /&gt;
Diminishing water supplies as a result of irrigation and consumption.&lt;br /&gt;
Continued suffering of billions of animals inhumanely bred for human consumption.&lt;br /&gt;
Cheapening of human life – murder and the trafficking of humans.&lt;br /&gt;
Diminishing quality of life.&lt;br /&gt;
Increasing disparity between the rich and poor.&lt;br /&gt;
Deterioration of infrastructures such as roads, bridges, sewage systems, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
Exponential population growth compounding all of the above problems with no comprehensive solutions available.&lt;br /&gt;
The forecast is bleak. The clock is ticking and the window of opportunity to avert the most unimaginable catastrophes and disasters is rapidly closing. Act now to educate and inform your fellow human and all those who have the might to positively influence change towards mandatory birth restrictions or else we as a species will inevitably have to face the calamities brought on by our own inaction and lack of foresight.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Synopsis ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Billy and Ptaah discuss the futility of providing predictions and the futility of the efforts of those in power who attended the recent Copenhagen conference and the pathetically insufficient agreements they managed to produce. The correct solution is again reiterated: population reduction through worldwide birth control. &#039;&#039;James Moore&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

| EXCERPT FROM FIGU SPECIAL BULLETIN No. 51, January, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
| AUSZUG VON FIGU SONDER-BULLETIN Nr. 51, Januar. 2010&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Extract from the 482nd official contact conversation of November 22nd, 2009&lt;br /&gt;
| Auszug aus dem offiziellen 482. Kontaktgespräch vom 22. November 2009&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039; On the 14th of October, in our most recent private conversation, you mentioned, in regard to the predictions, that you would deliberate about whether such predictions should continue to be made or not. So what is the corresponding conclusion?&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039; Am 14. Oktober, bei unserem letzten privaten Gespräch, hast du bezüglich der Voraussagen erwähnt, dass ihr darüber beratschlagen werdet, ob weiterhin noch solche gemacht werden sollen oder nicht. Was ist nun das entsprechende Resultat?&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039; We have found that all the predictions that have been made since 1975 up to the current time have in no way borne any fruit with the Earth human beings. This has been just as much the case with your predictions and prophetic warnings, which were given no heed, consequently many things from your warnings have, in the meantime, come true, and also continue to come true. Therefore, we have come to agree that predictions do not cause Earth humanity to become reasonable. Therefore, we no longer want to draw their attention, by means of predictions, to what the future brings them in terms of evil. For three decades we have made the effort to warn the Earth humans through you and your mission, as you have already done again and again from your side for almost 60 years, which has in no way led to success. So, now we no longer want to prepare clarifications for predictions and we want to end our activity regarding that, which has always taken a great deal of time.&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039; Wir haben befunden, dass alle seit 1975 bis in die heutige Zeit gemachten Voraussagen bei den Erdenmenschen in keiner Weise etwas gefruchtet haben. Dies ebensowenig wie auch deine Voraussagen und prophetischen Warnungen nicht, denen keine Beachtung geschenkt wurde, folglich sich viele Dinge deiner Warnungen inzwischen bewahrheitet haben und auch weiter bewahrheiten. Also sind wir übereingekommen, dass Voraussagen die Erdenmenschheit nicht zur Vernunft finden lassen. Also wollen wir sie nicht mehr mit Voraussagen darauf aufmerksam machen, was die Zukunft an Übeln für sie bringt. Drei Jahrzehnte haben wir uns darum bemüht, die Erdenmenschen durch dich und deine Mission zu warnen, wie du das von deiner Seite aus auch schon seit nahezu 60 Jahren immer wieder getan hast, was jedoch in keiner Weise zu einem Erfolg führte. So wollen wir uns nun nicht mehr um Abklärungen für Voraussagen bemühen und unsere diesbezügliche Tätigkeit beenden, die immer sehr viel Zeit in Anspruch genommen hat.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039; So, no more predictions. That is good and lessens my burdens, which have not seldom weighed heavily on me.&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039; Also keine Voraussagen mehr. Das ist auch gut und schafft mir weniger Belastungen, die mich nicht selten schwer bedrückten.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039; I know that. Many things have also weighed very heavily on me.&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039; Das ist mir bekannt. Auch mich bedrückten viele Dinge sehr.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039; All that can certainly not simply pass over one without a trace. With the whole matter I simply find the stupid and stubborn behaviour of the human beings of the Earth extremely regrettable. Under no circumstances do they want to perceive, recognise or understand the actual truth, namely, that all evil, and the climate change with its natural catastrophes, is only their very own fault, which is founded in the rampant overpopulation. Admittedly, worldwide, there is talk about climate change; also at the climate conferences, as will also be the case again in December in Copenhagen. But nothing intelligent ever comes out of it. That will also be the case in Copenhagen where great and senseless words will be spoken and decisions, which are even more senseless, will be made by all those in positions of responsibility who shut their eyes and senses to the truth. There, stupid and silly speeches will be the order of the day, along with the fact that, as a result of this entire Copenhagen senselessness, enormous amounts of CO2 will be created through which the stock of oxygen on Earth will be even more impaired than it already, catastrophically, has been up until now. And, also, naturally, with the whole idiotic and dim-witted climate protection conference palaver, great masses of crazies from all over the world will organise demonstrations, and the required travel to Copenhagen will blow further enormous amounts of poison gas into the atmosphere, as is the case with the actual conference participants. Just in this regard alone both groups are equally stupid and daft and do not think at all about what they do just with their travel to make the climate catastrophe even worse. But, just as the conference participants will make dim-witted speeches and will decide on completely idiotic and ineffective measures, so are the demands of the demonstrators also dim-witted and idiotic, because they scream just as much for senseless and daft measures which are supposed to be decided by the conference participants and carried out by the countries. The demonstrators are just as stupid and daft as are the conference attendees themselves, in that they only scream for senseless measures, however they utter not a word relating to what the reason for the climate catastrophe is and what must be done about it.&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039; Es kann ja nicht alles einfach spurlos an einem vorübergehen. Beim Ganzen finde ich einfach das dumme und sture Verhalten der Menschen der Erde äusserst bedauerlich. Unter keinen Umständen wollen sie die wirkliche Wahrheit wahrnehmen, sie nicht erkennen und nicht verstehen, nämlich dass alle Übel und die Klimaveränderung mit ihren Naturkatastrophen nur ihre ureigene Schuld ist, die in der grassierenden Überbevölkerung fundiert. Zwar wird weltweit über die Klimaveränderung geredet, auch bei den Klimakonferenzen, wie das auch im Dezember in Kopenhagen wieder der Fall sein wird, dabei kommt jedoch nie etwas Intelligentes heraus. Das wird auch in Kopenhagen der Fall sein, wo grosse und sinnlose Worte geführt und noch sinnlosere Entschlüsse gefasst werden durch all die Verantwortlichen, die ihre Augen und Sinne vor der Wahrheit verschliessen. Dummes und blödes Gerede gehört dabei zur Tagesordnung, nebst dem, dass durch diese ganze Kopenhagener Sinnlosigkeit Unmengen CO2 geschaffen werden, durch die der Sauerstoffbestand der Erde noch mehr geschädigt wird, als dies bisher schon katastrophal der Fall ist. Und natürlich werden beim ganzen idiotischen und schwachsinnigen Klimaschutzkonferenztheater auch wieder aus aller Welt grosse Massen Verrückte für Demonstrationen sorgen, durch deren Anreise nach Kopenhagen abermals Unmengen Giftgase in die Atmosphäre geblasen werden, wie im Fall der eigentlichen Konferenzteilnehmer. Allein schon in dieser Beziehung sind beide Gruppierungen gleich blöd und dämlich und machen sich keine Gedanken darüber, was sie allein mit ihrer Anreise tun, um die Klimakatastrophe noch zu verschlimmern. Wie aber die Konferenzteilnehmer schwachsinnige Reden führen und völlig idiotische und unwirksame Massnahmen beschliessen werden, so sind auch die Forderungen der Demonstrierenden schwachsinnig und idiotisch, weil sie gleichermassen nach unsinnigen und dämlichen Massnahmen schreien, die von den Konferenzteilnehmern beschlossen und durch die Staaten durchgeführt werden sollen. Wie die Konferenzler selbst, sind auch die Demonstranten derart dumm und dämlich, dass sie nur nach sinnlosen Massnahmen schreien, jedoch kein Wort in bezug darauf verlieren, was der Grund der Klimakatastrophe ist und was dagegen getan werden muss.&lt;br /&gt;

| None of these brain-amputated demonstrators who go around bellowing, and, likewise, none of the brainless conference participants, have sufficient intelligence to recognise that the true reason for the stark climate change, and the resulting and incessantly increasing natural catastrophes, is the rampant overpopulation. They are all too stupid and daft to get to the bottom of the actual truth and also to understand it, and to understand that finally something must be done about the overpopulation, because only such measures can be effective. The fact is that, namely, only a very quick, regulated, worldwide control of births can be useful, as a result of which, very many more human beings die a natural death than are born. But that is something that not only the conference attendees and the respective demonstrators have to finally comprehend, rather it is something that the entire terrestrial humanity must finally understand and convert into action. Neither private desires for children nor the supposed private right concerning descendents can play any role in this at all. As a result of the overpopulation, created by the Earth human beings, and the climatic catastrophe which is thereby evoked, the human beings of the Earth must - as a result of their responsibility for the planet, its nature, the fauna and flora, as well as for the further existence of terrestrial humanity - rationally forgo their supposed right to simply be permitted to beget descendents according to their free will. The mass must be regulated and correspond to the responsibility regarding what is supportable and indeed without ifs and buts and without selfish affectations. The time, reason and the stark climate change demand that a worldwide, and radically effective, control of births is carried out very quickly so that the rabbit-like proliferation of humanity ceases and nature can again, in the course of time, normalise and regulate itself. Certainly that is a very, very long process which will be calculated in centuries, but it is actually the only way in which a solution will be approached and the need to be saved from the worst can be prevented. And furthermore to say about that is that everything catastrophic with which the planet Earth, its fauna and flora, the human beings, the atmosphere and, with that, also the climate, is afflicted, is criminal and is based on all the things that the human being of the Earth has created. To that also belongs the production of nourishment for all the human beings, through which monstrous quantities of poisons of all kinds enter the soil and the atmosphere, pollute everything and powerfully advance climate change. When one considers just the many millions of animals and all the other creatures that are bred as nourishment and, through whose breathing and colonic gasses, monstrous amounts of poison gas enter the air, then one can see that that is already a catastrophe. If then, in regard to this, however, one considers how much fodder this livestock needs, and how this could nourish innumerable human beings, because it is fodder that the human beings could also use as nourishment, then naked horror arises in the rationally thinking human being. And if, regarding this, one further considers that, of the 7,600,000,000 human beings who exist on the Earth today, 1,346,000,000 human beings are starving and innumerable die of hunger, then it must be asked; how long will it actually continue until the majority of human beings of the Earth finally are pregnant with intelligence and reason and begin to think and to act. There is unfortunately only a small handful of human beings of the Earth who are capable of using intelligence and reason and, furthermore, they are not mighty ones of the state, academics or others with big names: consequently, the simple humans, without great office and title, are not listened to when they have something significant and important to say. That has already been the case since time immemorial.&lt;br /&gt;
| Keinem dieser gehirn amputierten herumbrüllenden Demonstrierenden, wie auch nicht den gehirnlosen Konferenzteilnehmern, reicht die Intelligenz derart weit, dass sie den wahren Grund der krassen Klimaveränderung und den daraus resultierenden und unaufhaltsam weiter zunehmenden Naturkatastrophen in der grassierenden Überbevölkerung erkennen. Sie alle sind zu dumm und dämlich, um der wirklichen Wahrheit auf den Grund zu gehen und sie auch zu verstehen, und dass endlich etwas gegen die Überbevölkerung getan werden muss, weil nur solche Massnahmen etwas bewirken können. Tatsächlich kann nämlich nur eine sehr schnell geregelte weltweite Geburtenkontrolle einen Nutzen bringen, durch die sehr viel mehr Menschen eines natürlichen Todes sterben, als neue Geburten stattfinden. Das ist aber etwas, das nicht nur die Konferenzler und die jeweiligen Demonstranten endlich begreifen müssen, sondern etwas, das die ganze irdische Menschheit endlich verstehen und in die Tat umsetzen muss. Dabei dürfen die privaten Wünsche nach Kindern und das vermeintliche private Recht in bezug auf Nachkommenschaft keinerlei Rolle spielen. Durch die von den Erdenmenschen geschaffene Überbevölkerung und die dadurch hervorgerufene Klimakatastrophe müssen die Menschen der Erde infolge ihrer Verantwortung für den Planeten, dessen Natur, die Fauna und Flora sowie für das Weiterbestehen der irdischen Menschheit vernünftigerweise auf ihr vermeintliches Recht verzichten, einfach nach freiem Willen Nachkommen zeugen zu dürfen. Das Mass muss geregelt sein und der tragbaren Verantwortung entsprechen, und zwar ohne Wenn und Aber und ohne selbstsüchtige Allüren. Die Zeit, die Vernunft und der krasse Klimawandel fordern, dass sehr schnell eine weltumfassende und radikal greifende Geburtenkontrolle durchgeführt wird, damit die karnickelhafte Vermehrung der Menschheit aufhört und sich die Natur im Laufe der Zeit wieder normalisieren und regulieren kann. Zwar ist das dann ein sehr, sehr langer Prozess, der mit Jahrhunderten zu berechnen ist, doch ist es tatsächlich der einzige Weg, auf dem einer Lösung entgegengeschritten werden und noch eine Rettung vor dem Schlimmsten verhindert werden kann. Und zu sagen ist dazu noch, dass all das Katastrophale, das dem Planeten Erde, dessen Fauna und Flora, den Menschen, der Atmosphäre und damit auch dem Klima angetan wird, verbrecherisch ist und in allen Dingen beruht, die der Mensch der Erde erschaffen hat. Dazu gehört auch die Nahrungsbeschaffung für all die Menschen, durch die ungeheure Mengen Giftstoffe aller Art ins Erdreich und in die Atmosphäre gelangen, alles verpesten und den Klimawandel mächtig fördern. Wenn allein an die vielen Millionen Tiere und all das sonstige Getier gedacht wird, die zur Nahrung gezüchtet und durch deren Atmung und Winde ungeheure Giftgasmengen in die Luft gelangen, dann ist schon das eine Katastrophe. Wird dabei aber noch dessen bedacht, wieviel Futter diese Viecher brauchen, und wobei dieses unzählige Menschen ernähren könnte, weil es Futter ist, das auch die Menschen als Nahrung nutzen könnten, dann steigt im vernünftigdenkenden Menschen das blanke Grauen hoch. Und wird dabei weiter bedacht, dass von den heute auf der Erde existierenden 7,6 Milliarden Menschen deren 1,346 Milliarden Menschen hungern und Unzählige des Hungers sterben, dann muss gefragt werden, wie lange es eigentlich noch dauert, bis das Gros der Menschen der Erde endlich des Verstandes und der Vernunft trächtig wird und zu denken und zu handeln beginnt. Die Menschen der Erde, die des Gebrauchs von Verstand und Vernunft fähig sind, die sind leider nur eine kleine Handvoll und zudem nicht Staatsmächtige, Akademiker oder sonstige mit grossen Namen, folglich nicht auf sie gehört wird, wenn einfache Menschen ohne grosse Ämter und Titel etwas Bedeutendes und Wichtiges zu sagen haben. Das ist schon seit alters her der Fall.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039; You have already taught all of that since your childhood, but, unfortunately, there are only a few Earth human beings who pay attention to your words, your warnings and your teaching.&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039; Das alles lehrst du schon seit deiner Kindheit, doch leider sind es nur wenige Erdenmenschen,die deinen Worten, deinen Mahnungen und deiner Lehre Beachtung schenken.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039; Unfortunately that is true, at least in regard to the majority of all human beings, because it is indeed done here and there, however only sparsely, if one considers the great mass of humanity. And it is also these isolated human beings who are very grateful that I raise my words and teach the truth even if that does not please many adversaries, know-it-alls, stirrers and critics.&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039; Leider ist das so, zumindest in bezug auf das Gros aller Menschen, denn vereinzelt wird es doch getan, zwar nur in spärlichem Rahmen, wenn man der grossen Masse Menschheit bedenkt. Und diese vereinzelten Menschen sind es auch, die sehr dankbar dafür sind, dass ich mein Wort erhebe und die Wahrheit lehre, auch wenn das vielen Widersachern, Besserwissern, Stänkerern und Kritikern nicht gefällt.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039; That will unfortunately also not change greatly in the present time. Consequently it will continue to only be isolated Earth humans who will turn to what you teach.&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039; Das wird sich zur gegenwärtigen Zeit leider auch nicht gross ändern. Folglich werden sich weiterhin nur vereinzelt Erdenmenschen dem zuwenden, was du lehrst.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039; I know that. It takes time for everything, especially the truth, to penetrate and stimulate the human being’s intelligence and reason.&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039; Das weiss ich. Alles braucht seine Zeit, dass es durchdringt und den Verstand und die Vernunft der Menschen anregt, insbesondere die Wahrheit.&lt;br /&gt;

| Mr. Meier, I do not belong to any religion or any sect and I am just not sure what I should think about the minaret initiative [referendum]. What is you attitude, and that of FIGU, in regard to religions and to their sects? And what is it, in regard to faith and the believers? And what is your opinion in regard to the passing of the minaret referendum and the spreading of Islam in Switzerland, and outside of the Islamic countries in general? And what, fundamentally, have you to say regarding religions and sects?&lt;br /&gt;
| Herr Meier, ich gehöre keiner Religion und keiner Sekte an und bin mir nun nicht sicher, was ich wegen der Minarettinitiative denken soll. Was ist Ihre und des Vereins FIGU Einstellung zu den Religionen und zu deren Sekten? Und wie zum Glauben und zu den Gläubigen? Und was ist Ihre Meinung zur Annahme der Minarettinitiative und der Islamausbreitung in der Schweiz und ausserhalb der islamischen Länder überhaupt? Und was haben Sie grundsätzlich bezüglich Religionen und Sekten zu sagen?&lt;br /&gt;

| &#039;&#039;&#039;Antwort&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Your question cannot be answered with a few words, consequently I must range a little further afield. The FIGU society is independent, apolitical, free, mediatory and supra-denominational, which naturally also applies to my person. For the society, as well as for me, religions and sects are institutions and groups which are far from our everyday life and beyond the result of our logical thoughts and feelings. Religions and sects correspond to organisations and groups which stultify the truth and the consciousness and through which the human being is led away from actual reality and its truth, and, through which, by means of false teachings, he is beaten into serfdom and his consciousness is kept enslaved. This occurs along with this: that with nonsensical, false teachings, the believers are financially exploited, and not few of them are sexually abused, and so forth. For this, and other reasons, the FIGU society, and I, distance ourselves from all religions and their sects, which are atrocious, mighty enterprises and have, since time immemorial, brought misery and want, as well as terror, murder, manslaughter, hate, jealously, destruction and war over the Earth and its humanity - and also still do so today. Religions and sects are consciousness-stupefying spreaders of fallacious teachings, through which uncountable believers are led into error, are exploited and are kept far from reality and its truth. That, briefly, is what I have to say in regard to religions, sects and faiths. If further answers in this direction are important for you then I recommend to you my book, &amp;quot;God-delusion and God-delusion Disease&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
| Ihre Frage kann nicht mit wenigen Worten beantwortet werden, folglich ich etwas weiter ausholen muss: Der Verein FIGU ist unabhängig, unpolitisch, frei, vermittelnd und überkonfessionell, was natürlich auch auf meine Person zutrifft. Religionen und Sekten sind sowohl für den Verein wie auch für mich Institutionen und Gruppierungen, die fern unseres Alltags und ausserhalb unseres logischen Gedanken- und Gefühlsgutes sind. Religionen und Sekten entsprechen wahrheits- und bewusstseinsverdummenden Organisationen und Gruppierungen, durch die die Menschen von der effectiven Wirklichkeit und deren Wahrheit weggeführt, mit Irrlehren in Knechtschaft geschlagen und in bewusstseinsmässiger Sklaverei gehalten werden. Dies nebst dem, dass mit unsinnigen Irrlehren eine finanzielle Ausbeutung der Gläubigen betrieben wird und nicht deren wenige sexuell missbraucht werden usw. Aus diesen und anderen Gründen distanzieren sich der Verein FIGU und auch ich von allen Religionen und deren Sekten, die greuelhafte Machtunternehmen sind und seit alters her Elend und Not sowie Terror, Mord, Totschlag, Hass, Eifersucht, Zerstörung und Krieg über die Erde und deren Menschheit brachten – und es auch noch heute tun. Religionen und Sekten sind bewusstseinsverblödende Irrlehrenverbreiter, durch die unzählige Gläubige in die Irre geführt, ausgebeutet und von der Wirklichkeit und deren Wahrheit ferngehalten werden. Das in kurzer Weise, was ich in bezug auf Religionen, Sekten und Glauben zu sagen habe. Wenn für Sie weitere Antworten in dieser Richtung wichtig sind, dann empfehle ich Ihnen mein Buch ‹Gotteswahn und Gotteswahnkrankheit›.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| There is something to say, from my point of view and that of the FIGU society, as well as regarding our attitude concerning faiths, religion and sects, as well as in regard to our opinion about the minaret initiative and the spreading of Islam. We are, in every regard, absolutely antireligious. We belong to no religion and no sect and are also no such religion or sect. We also do not count ourselves as atheists, although, like them, we acknowledge no divinity because God only corresponds to a highly-imaginative and illusory fantasy of the human brain. Our teaching starts with a Creation Universal Consciousness that has a natural origin and evolutive form, from which everything came about in a natural way by means of evolution, and further evolves. The whole thing is based on a natural intelligence through which everything exists and develops, and which, however, does not interfere in any of the matters, of any form at all, of the creatures, respectively, creations which came forth from it by means of evolution. This is the reality and its truth, consequently we can assume from this to be knowing in regard to this, whereby this knowledge and this knowing is not compatible with any belief.&lt;br /&gt;
| Aus Sicht des Vereins FIGU und mir sowie hinsichtlich unserer Einstellung zu Glauben, Religion und Sekten sowie in bezug auf unsere Meinung zur Minarettinitiative und der Ausbreitung des Islam ist einiges zu sagen. Wir sind in jeder Beziehung absolut antireligiös, gehören keiner Religion und keiner Sekte an und sind auch keine solche. Wir rechnen uns auch nicht zu den Atheisten, obwohl wir wie diese keine Gottheit anerkennen, weil Gott nur einem menschlichen phantasievollen und illusorischen Gehirngespinst entspricht. Unsere Lehre geht von einer Schöpfung Universalbewusstsein aus, die natürlichen Ursprungs und evolutiver Form ist, aus der heraus evolutionsmässig auch alles in natürlicher Weise entstand und weiter evolutioniert. Das Ganze beruht in einer natürlichen Intelligenz, durch die alles existiert und sich entwickelt, die sich jedoch in keinerlei Belange irgendwelcher Form der aus ihr evolutionsmässig hervorgegangenen Kreaturen resp. Schöpfungen einmischt. Dies ist die Wirklichkeit und deren Wahrheit, folglich wir davon ausgehen können, diesbezüglich Wissende zu sein, wobei dieses Wissen und Wissendsein mit keinem Glauben vereinbar ist.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Our attitude in regard to belief and to the believers in religions and sects is very simple. Fundamentally we tolerate them all and do not interfere in their machinations. The religious and sect believers are, for us, no more and no less than simple human beings who maintain their own belief which is, for us, taboo and therefore incontestable. If a human being is a member of a religious or sectarian faith then that is his matter alone and is none of our business. Each human being can think and believe what he wants according to his conscience, as has been recorded, as follows, by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:&lt;br /&gt;
| Unsere Einstellung zum Glauben und zu den Gläubigen der Religionen und Sekten ist sehr einfach. Grundsätzlich tolerieren wir sie alle und mischen uns nicht ein in deren Machenschaften. Die religiösen und sektiererischen Gläubigen sind für uns nicht mehr und nicht weniger als einfach Menschen, die ihren eigenen Glauben pflegen, der für uns tabu und also unanfechtbar ist. Ist ein Mensch einem religiösen oder sektiererischen Glauben anhängig, dann ist das seine alleinige Angelegenheit und geht uns nichts an. Jeder Mensch kann gemäss seinem Gewissen denken und glauben, was er will, wie das durch die Allgemeine Erklärung der Menschenrechte folgendermassen festgehalten ist:&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Article 18&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

| &#039;&#039;&#039;Freedom of Conscience and Religion&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Gewissens- und Religionsfreiheit&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.&lt;br /&gt;
| Jeder Mensch hat Anspruch auf Gedanken-, Gewissens- und Religionsfreiheit; dieses Recht umfasst die Freiheit, seine Religion oder seine Überzeugung zu wechseln, sowie die Freiheit, seine Religion oder seine Überzeugung allein oder in Gemeinschaft mit anderen, in der Öffentlichkeit oder privat, durch Lehre, Ausübung, Gottesdienst und Vollziehung von Riten zu bekunden.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| The FIGU society holds to that and therefore so do I, consequently we do not discriminate against any believers, and indeed it makes no difference which religion or sect they belong to. However, that which we do attack are the religions and their sects with their unbelievably consciousness-stultifying, fallacious teachings of the God-delusion and the God-delusion disease. These are schizophrenic products of delusion, which are, by means of false teachings, hammered into the believers through dishonest machinations and which impair the intelligence as well as reason and only allow them to make delusional decisions. Angst about a hammered-in, divine punishment does not allow the believer to be himself anymore, rather only to be humble before an imaginary god who screams for blood and revenge and who lacks any real humanity. With indoctrination, the religious representatives, such as priests, ministers, preachers and the pope, and so forth, as well as sect gurus, compel the clueless human beings with violence, false teachings and lies towards erroneous, delusional belief, and belief in God. This delusion establishes itself in them and is further inherited from generation to generation, consequently the human beings continue to become further removed from the effective reality and its truth. And what is thereby obtained is the fact that the faithful no longer have any of their own freedom and opinions, because, through the religious and sectarian indoctrination, they become completely lost and only orientate themselves towards that which the false teachings of the religions and sects wrongly teach and hammer into them, to become opinion. But exactly this indoctrination of opinion contradicts the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which quite clearly and unambiguously demands that every human being has the right to a free opinion:&lt;br /&gt;
| Daran halten sich der Verein FIGU und also auch ich, folglich wir keine Gläubigen diskriminieren, und zwar ganz gleich, welcher Religion oder Sekte sie angehören. Was wir allerdings angreifen, das sind die Religionen und ihre Sekten mit den unglaublich bewusstseinsverdummenden Irrlehren, dem Gotteswahn und der Gotteswahnkrankheit. Schizophrene Wahngebilde, die den Gläubigen durch unlautere Machenschaften irrlehremässig eingehämmert werden, die den Verstand sowie die Vernunft beeinträchtigen und sie nur noch wahngläubige Entscheidungen treffen lassen. Angst vor einer eingehämmerten göttlichen Strafe lässt die Gläubigen nicht mehr sich selbst, sondern nur noch demütig sein – vor einem imaginären nach Blut und Rache schreienden Gott, dem jede wirkliche Menschlichkeit fehlt. Indoktrinierend zwingen die Religionsvertreter, wie Priester, Pfaffen, Prediger und der Papst usw. sowie Sektengurus, die unbedarften Menschen mit Gewalt, Irrlehren und Lügen zum irren Wahn- und Gottesglauben. Dieser Wahn setzt sich in ihnen fest und wird weitervererbt, von Generation zu Generation, folglich die Menschen immer weiter von der effectiven Wirklichkeit und deren Wahrheit abkommen. Und was damit erwirkt wird, ist die Tatsache, dass die Gläubigen keine eigene Freiheit und Meinung mehr haben, denn durch die religiöse und sektiererische Indoktrinierung gehen diese völlig verloren und richten sich nur noch darauf aus, was die religiösen und sektiererischen Irrlehren als Meinung misslehren und ihnen einhämmern. Genau diese Meinungs- indoktrinierung widerspricht aber der Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte, die ganz klar und eindeutig fordert, dass jeder Mensch das Recht auf eine freie Meinung hat:&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Article 19&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Artikel 19&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Freedom of Opinion and Information&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Meinungs- und Informationsfreiheit&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.&lt;br /&gt;
| Jeder Mensch hat das Recht auf freie Meinungsäusserung; dieses Recht umfasst die Freiheit, Meinungen unangefochten anzuhängen und Informationen und Ideen mit allen Verständigungsmitteln ohne Rücksicht auf Grenzen zu suchen, zu empfangen und zu verbreiten.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| As a result of the religious and sectarian indoctrination, however, the believer no longer has his own free opinion, rather only the belief-delusion opinion which was hammered into him by religions and sects, consequently he, at least in this relationship, can no longer form his own opinion and also can no longer hold such an opinion. Therefore, only a hammered-in, terribly religious, and sectarian, opinion is held, through which religious hate also comes about. Fundamentally, in Switzerland we have freedom of thought and religious freedom as it is clearly and distinctly recorded in the quoted Human Rights article. Nevertheless religious freedom is disregarded, as is also the case with the ban on minarets. The threadbare excuse that the Islamic religion is not targeted with the ban holds no water because, for the faithful, a minaret with a half moon on the top is - like a church steeple - no more and no less a symbol of their cult&#039;s building and of their religious cult. The whole thing has nothing to do with extremism and terrorism, rather, singly and alone with a symbol of a religious cult. If now, insanely, a ban is decreed for the Islamic cult&#039;s minaret, as a result of religious hatred and race hatred, as well as as a result of disinformation and overflowing cowardice in regard to Islam - which in no manner is to equate with the terror of the extreme and radical Islamists - then it would only be fair if the towers and the ringing of bells of the Christian soul-launching-pads, with their rooster or cross of Christ on the top, were also forbidden. Church towers are also a sign and symbol of a religious cult, specifically the Christian cult, therefore also these need to be eliminated if the minarets of Islamic mosques are to be forbidden. The same would also have to apply for synagogues and temples if these had towers, minarets and the like as the cult buildings&#039; marks of identification. But such a deed would actually be just as crazy as the ban on minarets, about which it can only be said that the Islamic believers and their dignity and equality and equal worth, as well as the sisterhood and brotherhood, are thereby also defamed and thrown in the filth. There is also an article about that in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which was likewise disregarded by the minaret proscribers, and which says:&lt;br /&gt;
| Durch die religiöse und sektiererische Indoktrination hat der Gläubige jedoch keine eigene freie Meinung mehr, sondern nur noch die ihm durch Religionen und Sekten eingehämmerte Glaubenswahnmeinung, folglich er zumindest in dieser Beziehung sich keine eigene Meinung mehr bilden und auch eine solche nicht mehr vertreten kann. Also wird nur noch eine stinkreligiöse und sektiererische sowie eingehämmerte Meinung vertreten, durch die auch Religionshass entsteht. Grundsätzlich haben wir in der Schweiz Gedanken- und Religionsfreiheit, wie im aufgeführten Artikel der Menschenrechte klar und deutlich festgehalten ist. Nichtsdestotrotz wird die Religionsfreiheit missachtet, wie das auch mit dem Minarettverbot der Fall ist. Die fadenscheinige Ausrede, dass mit dem Verbot nicht die islamische Religion gemeint sei, die zieht nicht, denn ein Minarett mit einem Halbmond auf der Spitze ist, wie ein Kirchturm, nicht mehr und nicht weniger für die Gläubigen als nur ein Symbol ihres Kultgebäudes und ihres Religionskultes. Mit Extremismus und Terrorismus hat das Ganze nichts zu tun, sondern einzig und allein mit einem Religionskultsymbol. Wenn nun verrückterweise durch Religionshass und Rassenhass sowie durch Desinformation und triefende Feigheit in bezug auf den Islam, der in keiner Art und Weise mit dem Terror der extremen und radikalen Islamisten gleichzusetzen ist, für die Minarette des Islamkultes ein Verbot erlassen wird, dann wäre es nur des Rechtens, wenn auch die Türme und das Glockengeläute der christlichen Seelenabschussrampen mit ihrem Gockel oder Christuskreuz auf der Spitze verboten würden. Auch Kirchtürme sind ein Zeichen und Symbol eines Religionskultes, eben des Christenkultes, also gehören auch diese eliminiert, wenn für die Moscheen des Islam die Minarette verboten werden. Gleiches müsste dann auch zutreffen für Synagogen und Tempel, wenn diese Türme, Minarette und dergleichen als Kennzeichen der Kultgebäude hätten. Aber tatsächlich wäre ein solches Tun ebenso hirnrissig wie das Minarettverbot, zu dem nur gesagt werden kann, dass damit auch die Islamgläubigen und ihre Würde und Gleichheit, die Gleichberechtigung sowie die Schwesterlichkeit und Brüderlichkeit diffamiert und in den Dreck gestossen werden. Auch dazu gibt es einen Artikel in der Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte, der von den Minarettverbietern ebenfalls missachtet wurde und der besagt:&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Article 1&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Artikel 1&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.&lt;br /&gt;
| Alle Menschen sind frei und gleich an Würde und Rechten geboren. Sie sind mit Vernunft und Gewissen begabt und sollen einander im Geiste der Brüderlichkeit begegnen.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| And in regard to this - that all human beings are equal before the law - article 7 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is also violated as a result of the ban on minarets. This is namely because, the Islamic believers, who are also human beings, as are Christians and other believers of other religions, are, with the ban on minarets, refused the right, which they were promised, concerning their equality before the law in regard to their right in the matter of religion, and cult buildings in accordance with their religiously defined building tradition. This description is not farfetched because with some intelligence and reason these facts can be derived from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:&lt;br /&gt;
| Und bezüglich dessen, dass vor dem Gesetz alle Menschen gleich sind, wird durch das Minarettverbot auch der Artikel 7 der Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte verletzt. Dies, weil nämlich den Islamgläubigen, die auch Menschen sind, wie die Christen und sonstigen Gläubigen anderer Religionen, in bezug auf ihre Gleichheit vor dem Gesetz hinsichtlich ihres Rechtes in Sachen Religion und Kultgebäuden gemäss ihrer religiös geprägten gebäulichen Tradition mit dem Minarettverbot das ihnen zugesicherte Recht verwehrt wird. Diese Darlegung ist nicht weit hergeholt, denn mit etwas Verstand und Vernunft lässt sich aus der Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte diese Tatsache ableiten:&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Article 7&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Artikel 7&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Equality Before the Law&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Gleichheit vor dem Gesetz&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination.&lt;br /&gt;
| Alle Menschen sind vor dem Gesetz gleich und haben ohne Unterschied Anspruch auf gleichen Schutz durch das Gesetz. Alle haben Anspruch auf den gleichen Schutz gegen jede unterschiedliche Behandlung, welche die vorliegende Erklärung verletzen würde, und gegen jede Aufreizung zu einer derartigen unterschiedlichen Behandlung.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| In its further meaning, equality before the law therefore means that, also in regard to their religious acquisitions, just as with religious cult buildings, human beings are permitted to erect such according to their tradition, and that it is nobody&#039;s business to forbid this, and it certainly makes no difference which religion or other cult it concerns. That is therefore also equality before the law, consequently the protection of the law also relates to human beings&#039; religious and cultic buildings, which have, for them, a great ideological and psychic significance. To willingly offend against that, as for example, with the ban on minarets, amounts not only to a breach in regard to human rights, rather it is also a groundless impertinence and a catastrophic interference in the realm of the legally-guaranteed freedom of belief, and the associated cult buildings. When, legally, there is a freedom of belief and religious freedom, then that alone already also stipulates that every religious community of the faithful, and other kinds of religious communities of faith, must be entitled to their own cult buildings and, that is to say, in the normal, traditional context and extent. If this is not dealt with in this way then the law is disregarded and broken. And that is also true in regard to the Islamic cult buildings, respectively, the mosques, for which the minarets are the public symbols.&lt;br /&gt;
| Gleichheit vor dem Gesetz bedeutet also in weiterem Sinn, dass die Menschen auch in bezug auf ihre religiösen Errungenschaften, wie eben religiöse Kultgebäude, ihrer Tradition gemäss solche erstellen dürfen und dass es niemandem ansteht, dies zu verbieten, und zwar ganz gleich, um welche Religion oder sonstigen Kult es sich handelt. Auch das ist also Gleichheit vor dem Gesetz, folglich sich der Schutz des Gesetzes auch auf des Menschen religiöse und kultische Gebäulichkeiten bezieht, die für ihn eine grosse ideologische und psychische Bedeutung haben. Willentlich dagegen zu verstossen, wie z.B. durch das Minarettverbot, kommt nicht nur einem Bruch in bezug auf die Menschenrechte gleich, sondern es ist auch eine bodenlose Frechheit und eine katastrophale Einmischung in den Bereich der durch die Gesetze garantierte Glaubensfreiheit und die damit verbundenen Kultbauten. Allein schon wenn gesetzmässig eine Glaubens- und Religionsfreiheit gegeben ist, dann bedingt das auch, dass jeder Religions- und sonstigen religiösen Glaubensgemeinschaft ihre eigenen Kultgebäude zugestanden werden müssen, und zwar im normalen traditionellen Rahmen und Umfang. Wird dem nicht so gehandelt, dann wird das Gesetz missachtet und gebrochen. Und das gilt auch in bezug auf die islamischen Kultgebäude resp. die Moscheen, deren offenes Zeichen die Minarette sind.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| With the ban on minarets, not only is the dignity and freedom and the equality of Muslims put into question, radically curtailed and trampled under foot, they are also, in evil and gross measure, discriminated against and criminalised. This is a fact which, again, also offends against the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and is indeed clearly recorded and explained in the following:&lt;br /&gt;
| Mit dem Minarettverbot wird nicht nur die Würde und Freiheit und die Gleichheit der Muslima und Muslime in Frage gestellt, radikal beschnitten und mit Füssen getreten, sondern sie werden auch in bösem und grobem Masse diskriminiert und kriminalisiert. Eine Tatsache, die auch wieder wider die Allgemeine Erklärung der Menschenrechte verstösst, wird doch da folgendes festgehalten und erklärt:&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Article 2&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Artikel 2&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ban on Discrimination&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Verbot der Diskriminierung&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1. Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.&lt;br /&gt;
| 1. Jeder Mensch hat Anspruch auf die in dieser Erklärung verkündeten Rechte und Freiheiten, ohne irgendeine Unterscheidung, wie etwa nach Rasse, Farbe, Geschlecht, Sprache, Religion, politischer und sonstiger Überzeugung, nationaler oder sozialer Herkunft, nach Eigentum, Geburt oder sonstigen Umständen.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 2. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.&lt;br /&gt;
| 2. Weiter darf keine Unterscheidung gemacht werden auf Grund der politischen, rechtlichen oder internationalen Stellung des Landes oder Gebietes, dem eine Person angehört, ohne Rücksicht darauf, ob es unabhängig ist, unter Treuhandschaft steht, keine Selbstregierung besitzt oder irgendeiner anderen Beschränkung seiner Souveränität unterworfen ist.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| If the ban on minarets is now considered, then it is clear that this offends, in its entire extent, against several articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. That is not only very regrettable, rather also shameful for Switzerland, which up until now, had a good reputation worldwide as a state founded on the rule of law - a reputation which is now enormously tarnished with the ban on minarets. Besides that, I must say, as a Swiss citizen, that I am very deeply ashamed for all those who are responsible - to which not only the initiators belong, rather also all the voters who supported the ban with their votes - for this monstrous lack of tolerance in regard to the ban on minarets, and the associated hatred against Islam.&lt;br /&gt;
| Wenn nun das Minarettverbot betrachtet wird, dann wird klar, dass dieses im gesamten Umfang gegen mehrere Artikel der Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte verstösst. Das ist nicht nur sehr bedauerlich, sondern auch beschämend für die Schweiz, die bis anhin einen guten weltweiten Ruf als Rechtsstaat hatte, der nunmehr mit dem Minarettverbot gewaltig angekratzt ist. Ausserdem muss ich sagen, dass ich mich als Schweizer für alle jene in Grund und Boden schäme, welche für diese ungeheure Toleranzlosigkeit in bezug auf das Minarettverbot und den damit verbundenen Islamhass verantwortlich sind, wozu nicht nur die Initianten gehören, sondern auch all die Wählenden, die mit ihrer Stimme für das Verbot eingetreten sind.&lt;br /&gt;

== &#039;&#039;&#039;Population Time Bomb&#039;&#039;&#039;==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unless rigorous and responsible efforts are taken by individuals in all governments and leadership positions to limit population growth by mandatory birth restrictions, overpopulation and its inevitable consequences will spiral out of control leaving humanity to torment in its own self-created misery. In a nutshell, the unchecked population explosion will ever increasingly multiply our global problems because it is the root cause of our problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here is a partial list of the effects of overpopulation:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depletion of all resources.&lt;br /&gt;
Depletion of forests for farmland and wood.&lt;br /&gt;
Diminishing quality of atmosphere, increasing air pollution and lowering of oxygen levels.&lt;br /&gt;
Extinction of flora and fauna due to destruction of natural habitats.&lt;br /&gt;
Soil degradation as a result of over-cultivation.&lt;br /&gt;
Increasing food shortages leading to malnourishment, starvation, diminishing health and disease.&lt;br /&gt;
Decreasing quality and increasing cost of food.&lt;br /&gt;
Depletion of fish stocks in our rivers, lakes, seas and oceans.&lt;br /&gt;
Poisoning of fresh water supplies due to industry.&lt;br /&gt;
Overrunning of fertile land as a result of urban sprawl.&lt;br /&gt;
Ever expanding garbage and dump sites leading to further pollution of land and water.&lt;br /&gt;
Melting of the glacial polar caps due to global warming resulting in the flooding of low lying populated areas.&lt;br /&gt;
Intensification of storm patterns which include typhoons, hurricanes and tornadoes.&lt;br /&gt;
Flooding and droughts.&lt;br /&gt;
Desertification.&lt;br /&gt;
Immense rolling fire storms due to the lack of moisture in conjunction with high winds.&lt;br /&gt;
Tectonic displacements due to the immense concentrated weights of cities.&lt;br /&gt;
Further destruction of the ozone layer leading to an increase in cases of skin cancer.&lt;br /&gt;
Exhaustion of oil supplies, transportation as we know it will come to a standstill.&lt;br /&gt;
Global tensions, vying for resources, water wars.&lt;br /&gt;
Increasing criminality as a means of survival.&lt;br /&gt;
Increasing flow of refugees from war torn nations into neighbouring countries leading to difficult economic pressures placed on the hosting countries and subsequently, breeding hatred towards foreigners.&lt;br /&gt;
Further exploitation of the weak and vulnerable for financial gain.&lt;br /&gt;
Increasing disease and epidemics due to the lack of sanitation, nourishment, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
Sexual exploitation of women and children.&lt;br /&gt;
Diminishing water supplies as a result of irrigation and consumption.&lt;br /&gt;
Continued suffering of billions of animals inhumanely bred for human consumption.&lt;br /&gt;
Cheapening of human life – murder and the trafficking of humans.&lt;br /&gt;
Diminishing quality of life.&lt;br /&gt;
Increasing disparity between the rich and poor.&lt;br /&gt;
Deterioration of infrastructures such as roads, bridges, sewage systems, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
Exponential population growth compounding all of the above problems with no comprehensive solutions available.&lt;br /&gt;
The forecast is bleak. The clock is ticking and the window of opportunity to avert the most unimaginable catastrophes and disasters is rapidly closing. Act now to educate and inform your fellow human and all those who have the might to positively influence change towards mandatory birth restrictions or else we as a species will inevitably have to face the calamities brought on by our own inaction and lack of foresight.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Cardiff-by the-Sea, California, A MESSAGE OF HOPE FROM AVILA BOOKS/PUBLISHING&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
February 2005&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The poem ‹No Eye Equal to Wisdom› is a well-meaning message to humanity at this epoch of worldwide turbulence. It is critical at this time of spiritual awakening by a growing section of society that the irrationality and destruction of war be recognized as a failure of human culture. The core values of wisdom and human consciousness need to be acknowledged, so that spirituality can replace ritual religious doctrine, and so that all-inclusiveness and cooperation can replace divisive competition and national arrogance. A transcendence in the level of human consciousness must take place for the natural viability of life on this planet to be saved, and for civilization to be spared a deadly cultural regression into a new dark age. Ignorance must be banished and human consciousness enriched for human minds and spirits to be healed, so that peace, joy and freedom can reign and so that Friedrich Schiller&#039;s vision in his ‹Ode to Joy,› of ‹all humans becoming brothers/sisters,› can become a reality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No Eye Equal to Wisdom&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A noble quest wins he who&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
wields the lightning bolt of&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
truth, the sword of knowledge&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
tried and true, to tear apart&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the inky veils of feeble-minded&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and unmitigated ignorance&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- the primal sin that makes&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the untaught err and stumble.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yet it is nobler still by far&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
to let the flame of wisdom softly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
spread its light of cognizance,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
to gently guide the common fools,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the lost, the fearful, righteous,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
arrogant and know-it-all&#039;s,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
so as to broaden and enrich&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
their needy, yearning souls.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blessed are they whose spirit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
richly thrives with cosmic wisdom,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
moral logic and capacity for love.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For they will know the truth,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
be brimming full with life; not&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
like the poor-in-spirit who subsist&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
in dread and can&#039;t find light,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
nor strength to wholly live.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No terror - anywhere on Earth&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
or in the heavens - comes close&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
to icy, loveless fear that permeates&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the poor-in-consciousness. There&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
is no higher bliss than wisdom,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
no better friend than knowing&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
truth, no savior other than&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the living Spirit&#039;s might.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The greatest human victory yet&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
unshackles those whose spirit is&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
enslaved by flawed, self-serving&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and unnatural beliefs; is petrified&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
with fear of vengeful gods. Once&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
freed, a people&#039;s spirit molds a will&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
to banish from their minds all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
vengeance, envy, fear and greed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With mind and spirit healed,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
true justice can be won for all;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
a chance for peace that will endure,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
once humans cast out vicious hate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then freedom reigns, unspoiled&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
by haughty flags and national&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
intrigues, unchained from all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
beguiling dogmas that enslave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(c) Dietmar Rothe, 2004/5&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This poem, ‹No Eye Equal to Wisdom,› was inspired by the wise teachings of Jmmanuel (Jesus) as retold in the Talmud of Jmmanuel (TJ26:27,28):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
«There is no eye equal to wisdom, no darkness equal to ignorance, no power equal to the power of the spirit, and no terror equal to the poverty of consciousness. There is no higher happiness than wisdom, no better friend than knowledge, and no other savior than the power of the spirit.»&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See http://www.tjresearch.info and http://www.avilabooks.com/Jmmanuel.htm&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The poem was further influenced by quotes from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
«Noble let a person be, compassionate and good.»&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and from Friedrich Schiller&#039;s (1759-1805) verse:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
«A higher conquest&#039;s won by him&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
who swings the lightning bolt of truth&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
to free the human spirit-mind…»&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

You are encouraged to copy it and distribute it freely. Commercial reproduction requires written permission from the author, care of&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===A reader&#039;s question===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We would like to have the following question answered in English in a Bulletin by way of&lt;br /&gt;
the Free Community of Interest&#039;s (FIGU) web-site: Why is Sheik Muhammed Abdullah&lt;br /&gt;
alias &amp;quot;Phantom&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Billy&amp;quot; constantly attacked by so-called UFO experts as well as by&lt;br /&gt;
people who fight against sects? Sheik Muhammed Abdullah, whom we had already got&lt;br /&gt;
to know 37 years ago in Baghdad and with whom we had a very close UFO observation,&lt;br /&gt;
is a sincere human being and certainly no sectarian. Therefore we don&#039;t understand why&lt;br /&gt;
he is constantly attacked and accused of fraud and sectarianism, as we can gather from&lt;br /&gt;
the Internet. Could perhaps Sheik Muhammed Abdullah himself give an answer on this?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Ibrahim Nasrallah and Suleiman Habasch, Iraq&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First of all I want to say that it appears strange to me that again and again old&lt;br /&gt;
acquaintances and friends from all over the world find me through the Internet, visit me,&lt;br /&gt;
telephone me or write to me by fax etc. For quite some time my past somehow gets&lt;br /&gt;
actual again. Of course I am pleased about it, and also it is a special honor to me that I&lt;br /&gt;
was not forgotten and one remembers me, although decades have passed since that&lt;br /&gt;
early acquaintance and the events etc. that we experienced together. For this, dear&lt;br /&gt;
friends Ibrahim and Suleiman, I would like to express my deep thanks and present to you&lt;br /&gt;
my dear regards and wishes, and also to all other acquaintances, male and female&lt;br /&gt;
friends from the diverse countries of Europe, the Orient, North Africa, Middle and Near&lt;br /&gt;
East, America and Canada, etc. Unfortunately, for reasons of health I am denied to&lt;br /&gt;
undertake great travels to far-away countries again. That&#039;s why we will not meet again&lt;br /&gt;
except if you could find your way to me here. Nevertheless I will have pleasant&lt;br /&gt;
memories of you, as well as of all other acquaintances, male and female friends,&lt;br /&gt;
because you, as well as all the other ones, have been, and still are, a part of my life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But now to the answer to your question:&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It is simply this principle: &amp;quot;What may not be, may not exist&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;What may not be, may&lt;br /&gt;
not be true and must be fought with all means, made looking ridiculous, and (must be)&lt;br /&gt;
disputed,&amp;quot; respectively. The same holds true regarding my contacts with the Plejarans&lt;br /&gt;
and with regard to the spiritual teachings and all writings and books that I disseminate.&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore people who fight against sects interfere in my work and affairs, in order to&lt;br /&gt;
abuse me of sectarianism, whereby those abusing persons neither know me nor my&lt;br /&gt;
work. As it is usual with persons who fight against sects, they have their ingrained way&lt;br /&gt;
of thinking and opinion which permits them to obstinately go into one direction of view&lt;br /&gt;
only, and which does not allow any space for a real investigation of the matter or facts.&lt;br /&gt;
Because of this their reason reaches only as far as to lump everything together and to&lt;br /&gt;
disregard the effective truth. Thus, not the truth is sought-after, but only one&#039;s own&lt;br /&gt;
ingrained, one-sided, high-handed, uncompromising and false opinion which has become&lt;br /&gt;
an uncontrollable habit and which criticizes everything. The same holds true for the socalled&lt;br /&gt;
ufology &amp;quot;experts&amp;quot; who want to know everything better, who call all that what is&lt;br /&gt;
false, faked, fraudulent, swindling, made up and hallucinating as genuine and the truth,&lt;br /&gt;
but who dismiss that which is real, truthful and genuine as lie, swindle and fraud, and&lt;br /&gt;
who even deceive and belie all those with slandering claims and descriptions who&lt;br /&gt;
naively believe in them. Unfortunately one cannot defend oneself against those rotten&lt;br /&gt;
machinations. Since the effective truth is scorned - because it hurts and could bring&lt;br /&gt;
one&#039;s conception of the world to totter - it is not truth that receives the right of its&lt;br /&gt;
dissemination, but falseness, lies, fraud, slandering and attacks as well as legal and&lt;br /&gt;
punishing actions against those sincere human beings who, without any profit, trouble&lt;br /&gt;
themselves to proclaim the true truth.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC&amp;quot; validates Billy Meier Claim&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, proof has emerged that validates Eduard (Billy) Meier&#039;s claim that he was contacted by extraterrestrials from the Pleiades in the 1970s!&lt;br /&gt;
The January 2002 issue of National Geographic magazine printed an interesting confirmation of the validity of Meier&#039;s claims. In that issue, I found a newsbrief which acknowledges that, just as Meier claimed back in the 1970s, Mt Everest is not the highest mountain on Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meier, in his writings, stated the Pleiadians told him that Mt Chimborazo in Ecuador was higher than Mt Everest by 2,150 metres because the Earth is not perfectly round but, rather, bulges in the middle-thus, measuring mountains from sea level is not an accurate way of assessing the true height of a mountain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
National Geographic states that scientists have now determined that the Earth bulges around the middle because of the spinning action of the Earth&#039;s rotation, and thus, when measured from the center of the planet, Mt Chimborazo is actually higher than Mt Everest by 2,200 metres. Measured from sea level, Mt Everest is 2,540 metres higher than Mt Chimborazo. The newsbrief states that when measured from the centre of the Earth, Mt Chimborazo is 6,384,450 metres high and Mt Everest is 6,382,250 metres high.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a poor Swiss farmer who never graduated from high school to pick that particular mountain and declare it to be the highest mountain on Earth, higher than Mt Everest-and to come within 50 metres of its height, measured from the centre of the planet, years before scientists recognized this fact-is quite an extraordinary feat, I think anyone would have to agree.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1997 I wrote Star Wisdom, a book about the essential spiritual message of the Pleiadians (based on Billy Meier&#039;s Semjase contact notes), which mentioned the Mt Chimborazo claim.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the February 2002 issue of the UK-based UFO Magazine (vol. 21, no. 3), my book was reviewed by Kate Miller, who stated:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;the question that became uppermost in my mind on reading Star Wisdom was whether a supposedly poor Swiss farmer (who never graduated from high school) could conjure up the kind of beautiful and inspiring words that are manifest in the book. Could he have possibly invented the seven basic principles of the Pleiadians that cover Oneness, Eternal Spiritual Evolution, Self-Responsibility, Love, Balance, Truth and Equality?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I can&#039;t explain it [the accurate naming of Mt Chimborazo as the highest mountain on this planet] and I seriously doubt whether sceptics would even venture to try, but please, be my guest! The same is true for anyone who feels it would be a worthwhile exercise to revisit Billy Meier and the teachings of the Pleiadians. You just may find it a truly rewarding experience.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today there is a great public interest in the UFO phenomenon as well as in spirituality. Star Wisdom offers a rational, logical and eminently effective way of practising spirituality in one&#039;s daily life.&lt;br /&gt;
The Pleiadians presented to Meier a clear and liberating message which, to me, is not only welcome but necessary in the chaotic realm of modern spirituality where the hardened dogmas of fundamentalism are competing with the allure of New Age &amp;quot;pop&amp;quot; philosophies. In light of the current events on our planet, I believe it is time for us to take seriously their wise directives in this regard.&lt;br /&gt;
If you want to read Star Wisdom, please write to me, Gene Andrade, at PO Box 223743, Carmel, CA 93922, USA, for information on how to order a copy of the book directly from me; alternatively, you can order it from Amazon.com.&lt;br /&gt;

A note regarding the following article:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regarding the hight numbers given in the article below we&#039;d like to add the following information: The average equator radius is 6,378,388 meters, the average polar radius 6,356,912 meters (according to dtv-Lexikon). This is a difference of nearly 43 kilometers, in relation to the diameter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If an imagianry circle is drawn around the center of the Earth that just touches the peak of Mount Chimborazo, the difference to Mount Everest is 2,143 meters, as is shown in a list of several mountanis on the following Web-Site:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Punishment must be ...&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, human beings, which are criminal or which have committed a minor or a major crime, are put in a jail, prison, or detention camp and thus are excluded from society. The same applies for single or organised terrorists if the jurisdiction seizes them. But there are also the powerful of the states, the presidents of states and dictators, which are not less degenerated, but which are killers legitimated by the state, criminals, humanity killers, terrorists and destroyers. And they are the ones, who escape unmolested from every punishment, because they are protected by dubious laws and by the stupid-idiotic people. Like this, they are able to impose capital punishment on other criminal offenders in a high-handed godlike manner and legally let human beings being killed, as well as to unscrupulously and irresponsibly start wars and attack other countries without being held responsible for it. Hence, they are in fact bad persons, which have to be rid of their freedom and be excluded from society for punishment. If this doesn&#039;t happen, they will go on acting asocial, violent, and murderous and they abuse their degenerations and their power towards the honest and the weaker. Simple criminals and delinquents have the possibility to change for the better by means of appropriate punitive measures and become worthy members of society; but in general, this is not possible with notorious violent criminals, which also include all notorious terrorists. They often are the powerful of the states, presidents of the state, commanders in chief and dictators etc. and they spread infinite suffering and misery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When talking of violent criminals, one shouldn&#039;t only think of simple criminals and murderers but especially of the powerful of the world, because it is them, who bring the biggest evils over human beings and let them to be slaughtered by the thousands and millions through capital punishment, wars, massacres, and secret service operations etc. And it is the top of the mockery that these terrorists and humanity delinquents are cheered and raised to the standing of heroism by the idiots within the people. Like this, many a criminal military leader and murderous president of the state or dictator is celebrated as great fighter, conqueror and hero, although he is only a coward and loudmouth and totally fails, if he has to execute his order by himself. And such dread cans, shirkers, frightables, miserables, softies, and whiners are quickly wetting their pants, if their own skin is threatened. Their loudmouthism only exists as long as they hold and mercilessly exercise power. But, they use this power to harass and kill their fellow human beings. Like this, they let others, who have done less severe crimes, murders, and criminal offences, being executed, while they themselves are protected through the cheering madness of the people. And often, it is them, who are appropriating massive sums of money without ever being prosecuted or punished. And very often they use their finagled money to lead unlawful and betraying election campaigns and to take the helm of a government. But, (handkehrum) a human being, which steals some money or food out of mere need and despair in order to feed oneself and the family, is publicly taken into custody in handcuffs and reviled while the real criminals are lavishly praised.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can look at it however you want, but, the truth is that every human being, which approves such things and machinations, is a criminal, thus everybody, who gives one&#039;s blessing to it, had to be punished. Without question, one cannot speak of a potential crime, because an approval is an actual crime towards love, freedom, peace, and harmony of human beings. And the truth is, that those who are thrown into prison are not worse in their inner self as everybody else. Indeed they are human beings as everybody else, if they are not notorious and violent humanity criminals. They are human beings, which are just the victims of some blindness or desires, their anger and jealousy, their urge for luxury or the carrying out of their wish, an addiction or a vice etc., all of which at the end is suffered by all human beings, who are not able to control their personality down to the last detail. Like this, one suffers more another suffers less from these things, but everybody is in need of help. Therefore it is the duty of human beings to help each other and to treat everybody in a manner as one is due to. This means, that neither a single person nor the society is allowed to unjustly judge those, who have made a mistake and need to be punished. The punishment must always be humane and appropriate and must never be founded on hatred, revenge, and retaliation. Each human being, no matter what it has committed, is nevertheless a (vollwertig) human being, which is a part of society and well able to change itself. And this possibility also exists if the fallible human being is totally degenerated and has to be excluded from society in a way that a jail, a prison, a detention camp, or a remote measures executive place is the only way to protect society from it. This though means, that it remains a part of society and that it has the possibility of learning, of remaining a human being, and the security for body and life is guarantied, as well as the possibility to gain true (Menschsein).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is so easy to swear about the criminals, the terrorists, the fanatics of sects, and the violent criminals, the murderers, and irresponisbles as well as the criminal and terroristic powerful of the state, to damn them to hell and to wish death and devil to their neck, to execute them and probably to torture them physically and psychologically. But they too are human beings, which have a right to life, even if they themselves have murdered one or several human beings or even have let thousands and millions being murdered through war and terror. Human beings must never be judged according to the same standard as they themselves applied. Hatred, revenge and retaliation are never a standard for punishment for any crimes no matter how sever and inhumane they may be because hatred, revenge, and retaliation are as bad degenerations as the violent crimes of the fallible persons. Of course violent criminals, criminals, murderers, terrorists, and humanity criminals of all kind mustn&#039;t get off scot-free and thus have to be punished. But, the punishment, the sentence, and the execution of the penalty must always be humane and remain humane and must never put in danger or harm the body and life of the fallible persons. With the sentence and penalty too, it has to be acted according to brotherly love and humanity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A humanitarian execution of the penalty has to be in a way that the fallible persons get a useful instruction in all matters concerning a honest and just as well as reverent and dignified conduct of life and concerning the value of all life, where too, the practice of meditation has to be considered. Also, one condition has to be, to show the way to reach inner peace as well as inner freedom and harmony and the way that fallible persons can free themselves from any feeling of guilt in case it appears. But, the execution of the penalty also necessitates that no hatred and no unkindness is shown for the fallible persons but love and confidence, so they are able to have a good look at these things and are also able to learn from it. If punishments are designed in a way, that the fallible persons are not being excluded from society for a lifetime, but are set free, then it has to be worked towards them turning into a honest, affable, social and content, as well as industrious human being before they are released.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This change must be of a kind that the trust in the changed human being is right again and it is again able to live human values and thus can live in the community of society again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If one looks at the affable persons today, it is sadly noticed, that especially teenagers get caught in the wheels of law and get punished. They are male and female teenagers, whose lives have actually just begun, but these lives are already ruined due to various circumstances. It may be alcohol, a certain inhibition from work, the tendency towards luxury and pleasure, the use of drugs, bad company, a lack of experience, prostitution, or a socially difficult milieu, by which they are tempted to do wrongs and to get into conflict with the law. But often it is also the fault of the parental upbringing, which often leaves a lot more to be desired than it is good for the teenagers. And all this, both the wrong and insufficient upbringing and the conduct of wrongs, occurs in at a point, when children and teenagers haven&#039;t had the time yet to gain experiences, to educate themselves in the right way and to get clarity in their minds, what the meaning of life after all is and what to do with their life. But, one has to ask, how the parents shall pass on the right education and the right guidance for life to the children and teenagers, if they themselves have not a clue of these matters?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For each fallible human being, young or already older, the advice shall be given, never to give up hope for being able to improve oneself and to integrate oneself into society with all its duties and responsibilities. But the motivation and the insight as well as the will for it has to be created, because only by doing this, it can be thought, felt and acted positively and everything can be lead into suitable ways. Every human being is able to change itself, to improve, and to make the best out of itself. Every human being has a brain, which normally is the same as the neighbour&#039;s and also has the same potential, which only has to be used. Thus it is given that even if the human being is unknowing and consciously confused, there is hope that everything turns to the better and positive progresses are achieved. Thus only the one will fail, who loses courage, the will to progress, to the better, and to the valuable. Thus every human being, the fallible too, is only as poor in all things of existence, in its thoughts and feelings, in its love, and the inner freedom as in its joy and harmony, as well as in its happiness and the inner peace, as it sees everything and as it makes everything within itself.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Knowing Kal&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By Garret Moore, Producer/Director UFOEARTH.NET&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was asked about my experience with knowing Kal Korff. I had mentioned him when at a conference talking to someone about Billy Meier. I had had an experience that involved Kal many years ago that proved to be the beginning of a trail of unfortunate and sad stories I would hear over the next almost 30 years. I might have been one of the first to know his tree’s fruit. Bitter as it was and proved to me to be. Early in my career as an illustrator and graphic designer, I was 23 at the time, a best friend of mine who was at that time a writer for Astrology Magazine among other publications, told me of someone he knew who was publishing a book and needed illustrations. I had already been published doing illustrations for a magazine article for Bill, but was, as a young artist and graphic designer, looking for as much valid paying work as I could to build my portfolio. My friend, a talented writer himself, introduced me to a younger man, Kal Korff, around 18–19 years old I thought, that told me with a convincing air of authority that he was a UFO investigator and was publishing a book exposing a hoax with then noted author Bill Moore (no relation) who, he said, was also a well known authority on UFOs. He said that they needed several illustrations for this book based on photos that where allegedly taken of an alien craft by a certain Billy Meier in Switzerland. I was shown glossy photographs of photos, and additional images that looked like the photos that were subjected to darkroom effects. Until then I had only seen a few of these images in magazines and articles. His opinion seemed to be pretty clear about Billy Meier person and was convinced he was a charlatan who needed to be exposed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was told that Billy’s photos had been taken to NASA in the south San Francisco Bay Area, Ames Research Center, and where subjected to photographic study by the NASA photographic study lab. I was, back then, of course intrigued by Kal’s book, as yet unfamiliar with the Meier information and wanted to know more as I had already decided to do the work internally for the excitement of the subject alone, if not the perfect portfolio subject matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was very motivated in the areas of science subjects then. Always infatuated with space science, physics, astronautics and UFOs since a small boy, I absorbed anything and everything to do with the subjects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That this guy, Kal, who was a bit younger than me, and a bit pompous and over certain, did not bother me, as these facts where obscured in the blind spot of my enthusiasm for the subject, and the possibility of also being published for the work. It was a life lesson ripe for the picking. The photos, while he said “they” (I assumed Bill Moore and NASA people) could not find any overt attempts at fakery, did, according to Kal, show signs of suspension, or supporting strings, through the then early “edge enhancement” and “color enhancement” photos. I could not actually see the evidence, and do not remember the reason he gave for the discrepancy, other than he did not have the evidenced images or that the images he had only showed slight indications I was not seeing. Kal then gave me the images to copy, he said were from this Billy Meier’s original negatives and said that due to copyrights he could not use in his book, and so came to me, knowing through my friend that I was an photographic illustrator. We discussed the need for using the images to demonstrate Kal’s theories and the need also for some concepts of how this was done for the camera, assuming these images where faked. I remember being very impressed by the pure clarity of Meier’s photos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Film and photographic print work I was already very familiar with, and even a bit of film study in college was part of my wide interests in graphics and illustration.&lt;br /&gt;
Kal wanted direct copies of these photos he loaned me, and in black and white airbrushed illustrations, having thought, in his and my own ignorance, that this was somehow legal. At that time, I was only partially aware of the details of copyright law, having only studied enough to protect my own work. As I was not interested in copying others works, had not yet gone deeper into the law, and doing such was then, 20 years before the internet, dependent on a trip to the library or a letter to the Government Copyright Office. And, while I did frequent the library often for research and reading, as well as send away for forms to the Copyright Office in Washington DC, I did not at the time of Kal’s request fully understand or have the legal knowledge to know this. He was at least as ignorant as I was, but knowing his character better now might have believed otherwise. I did become sort of an expert later in such matters, after a few events of being plagiarized myself, unfortunately. Kal also seemed very interested in my ideas of how such fakery could be done. Having a good mechanical reasoning ability, and being the creative person I was, I entertained a few ideas and told him I would think about this. I do not remember being told by Kal how I would be paid other than I would get credit and copies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was never paid a dime.&lt;br /&gt;
I began the process of illustrating the photos. I remember loving the process, having the photos next to me while I worked, thinking all the time on how such images where even possible. At that time, while I believed in such things as aliens and ships that could transit deep space where likely, I was an ethical person, and the idea that faked contact and or photos and such hoaxed accounts I understood even then, could only dissipate and cloud the UFO issue, and this had me concerned. Blinded somewhat by the fun of the project, and somewhat convinced by Kal’s convincing contentions on Meier, I came up with some rough ideas I thought could work for suspending a large object well away of any tall poll or structure. I don’t think though it was really possible. The concepts where just thoughts on paper however, and, never intended to be included in any final conclusions. I thought about it, as I told Kal I would, and it was the first idea I had. I drew them out, but did not do finished illustrations for them, thinking Kal would only consider them. After a few weeks I had eventually finished several airbrush illustrations based on the actual photos Kal had given me, and with the balloon suspension sketched concepts, gave them all to Kal, thinking the next time I saw him he would be returning the illustrations, and, a couple copies of the book with my credits published beside each illustration. This, however, I found was not to be the case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As time passed, I did not hear from Kal. I do not remember much from him in the way of communication, but eventually I did meet with him where he gave me one copy of a spiral bound, well,… book, that indeed had Bill Moore’s as well as Kal Korff’s authorship printed on the cover, was largely typewritten copy with my illustrations and credits, but not the “commercial bound book” I had expected. He told me that Omni Magazine had written a review and stated that as far as the Meier case was concerned, this book was like shooting an ant with an elephant gun. In other words, overkill for what the magazine considered nothing at all important in subject or scope. Typical for a pop science magazine.&lt;br /&gt;
That it was actually printed was all fine and good, but I wanted another copy, and, my original art back, of which several airbrushed images of considerable hours of work should have all been returned. Also, later upon glancing through the book I saw that without permission he had used my simple diagrams for how the photos could be faked with the balloon system. The book was out, already reviewed and he did not have another copy for me. Close to four weeks of work and nothing in return, except what looked to the entire world more like a book transcript than an actual book. I think I was stunned, and do not remember the reasons Kal did not have the artwork, as he might have blamed it on the other guy, Bill Moore, or the printer but was assured that he would get the art for me and another copy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I did not hear from Kal again. I did not have any contact information for him as he had moved, and my friend who was my original contact for him had written Kal off himself and lost contact. I didn’t blame him in the least. So, I eventually cut my losses, and wrote Kal off as an ass, a user and a cad, myself. I did see Kal many years later at a conference I was attending. I did approach him very nicely, more as an old friend, and asked if he had found the art, or had an additional copy of the book for me, but was told he was in a hurry and I could contact him. He treated me like an unimportant fan, and I sensed more than a bit of concern on his part, seeing me at such an inopportune moment. He handed me his card and was off and out the door to another room where he no doubt was pawning his theories on other unsuspecting conference people. That was it. He now had no credibility as a person for me. His character seemed plain, and when I offered a friendly reconnect, my own business card and very nonconfrontative request for my work for a promised copy of the book, was dismissed with less than a friendly apology. He seemed to be building on what I already knew of him. I did sense it was catching up with him however eventually. I did not follow his works, as I don’t like watching tragedy or negative news much, just enough to know the weather, so to speak. More recently I found his works had done much damage to people I might soon be working with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It seemed the trail of destruction had some more recent history as well. He was gone from the country, in a completely new world in Eastern Europe. I could easily formulate the reasons.&lt;br /&gt;
You know a tree by its fruit, it is said. I have over the years caught wind of Kal’s exploits as a writer, UFO debunker and a media personality. I have seen the very real emotional and life damage Kal has done to ruin several good people’s lives by his seemingly destructive and plainly mean tactics with seemingly no empathetic or compassionate sense whatsoever. His sole purpose it seemed was to destroy the lives of people whom he himself judged as wrong. Even if just questionably wrong or just innocently misinformed, no one deserves such caustic and unrelenting poison as Kal continually delivered publicly in books, lectures, media and articles. I sense that Kal has nothing of value for anyone, unfortunately, mostly himself.&lt;br /&gt;
For Billy Meier, I would apologize for any harm done in my younger ignorance. And, also thank him for his and his celestial friends, hopeful and positive materials, while if either true or imagined, is still worthy of deep consideration at the very least. It is also, the material we are given, to imagine as true, so we can make it real, even if we are told it is not. For until those who would attempt to squelch such beauty can show us something more, filled with more hope and such good for this life’s dimension, I will continue to face to the warmth and the light. Following and believing my heart, and never another’s angry words.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the “OM” and in an excerpt from the “OM“ in the booklet “49 Questions” it is written that only the Creation is worthy of worship (verehrungswürdig) and adoration (anbetungswürdig), but in contrast to this, it states in “FIGU in a Nutshell” point 4, that the Creation should not be worshipped or venerated. A person tried to explain to me that this results in a contradiction.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Schantz Scott, USA&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This does not deal with a contradiction but rather an obvious lack of understanding of the facts of the true meaning of the words by a person who has not worked with the Spirit-Teaching (Geisteslehre) and its old style of writing; consequently this person is not familiar with this field and judges only according to popular and religious meanings without understanding the fundamental meaning of the terms. The old meaning of the German words as used in the “OM”, as for example “Verehrung” and “Anbetung”, are not the same as what is found today in the common incorrect assessment and interpretation of terms. The content of the “OM” does not date back several millenniums but rather millions of years, and consequently various terms had at that time a completely different meaning as what those same terms have today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Old terms, that are newly presented in the Spirit-Teaching and have a meaning and interpretation that is more accurate than what is generally the case with the common meaning in the present day language, show precisely for the first time what meaning is to be truly understood by them. What becomes evident especially in regards to the German language is that it is it not possible for it to be translated exactly and completely into another language to the extent that the exact meaning is conveyed. Truthfully, a translation capturing the general meaning from German into another language can occur only partially and through rephrasing, however, never in a complete and precise manner. The reason for this is the great many words and terms in the German language which specifically describe and convey very accurately definite values which are not found in other languages due to their poor vocabulary; whereby these languages are to be referred to as meagre languages in comparison to the German language. From this alone, that the German language has for many things very clear, appropriate and precise terms which are lacking in all the other known earthly languages, misunderstandings arise, which is also one of the most important reasons why in regards to the translation of every FIGU-writing that deals with Spirit-Teaching themes or with every book with Spirit-Teaching content, the original German text must be given along with the translation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And because the necessary extensive understanding of the Spirit-Teaching text can only be realised when someone has a good command of the German language, every human being who is interested in the Teaching of Truth, Teaching of Spirit, Teaching of Life is urged to learn the German language comprehensively. In the old languages, as given in the “OM”, the various terms have often completely different meanings as with those meanings in the recently given Spirit-Teaching and in the present day general usage. Since time immemorial languages have continuously changed and improved as well as the meanings and their interpretations which is particularly the case in regards to the words, terms and interpretations found in the Spirit-Teaching, and above all regarding the great many terms given in the &amp;quot;OM&amp;quot;. So, in the present day usage of the German language, the word “Verehrung” has in meaning and interpretation the following negative qualities:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
deutsch - English&lt;br /&gt;
Vergötterung - idolisation&lt;br /&gt;
Huldigung - homage&lt;br /&gt;
Bevorzugung	preference - given to someone or something&lt;br /&gt;
Kniefall - prostration&lt;br /&gt;
Gläubigkeit - unquestioning faith/devoutness&lt;br /&gt;
Verzückung - ecstasy/rapture&lt;br /&gt;
Verherrlichung - glorification&lt;br /&gt;
Vergötzung - making someone/something a god&lt;br /&gt;
Verklärung - apotheosis&lt;br /&gt;
Fanatismus - fanaticism&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and in regards to “Anbetung” (worship) the present day meaning and interpretation have the following negative qualities:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
deutsch - English&lt;br /&gt;
Anflehung - supplication, the act of pleading/imploring to someone&lt;br /&gt;
Erbettelung - begging&lt;br /&gt;
Erflehung - craving&lt;br /&gt;
Erheischung - demanding&lt;br /&gt;
Beschwörung - incantation/invocation&lt;br /&gt;
Begehrung - the desire for something/someone&lt;br /&gt;
Demütigkeit - humbleness/submissiveness&lt;br /&gt;
Selbstaufgabe - the surrendering of one&#039;s self/personality&lt;br /&gt;
Selbsterniedrigung - self-abasement&lt;br /&gt;
Ansuchung - request&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Long ago the term “Verehrung” as it is used in the “OM”, had a completely different meaning, namely in the sense of:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
deutsch - English&lt;br /&gt;
Ehrerweisung - honour&lt;br /&gt;
Anerkennung - acknowledgement,recognition,honouring, praising&lt;br /&gt;
Hochachtung - great respect/high esteem&lt;br /&gt;
Hochschätzung - high regard&lt;br /&gt;
Würdeerweisung - to show dignity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and concerning the term “Anbetung” as mentioned in the “OM” its meaning in the old days was:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
deutsch - English&lt;br /&gt;
Billigung(Anerkennung) - approval&lt;br /&gt;
Würdigung - appraisal/appreciation&lt;br /&gt;
Achtungserweisung - show respect&lt;br /&gt;
Wertschätzung - esteem/appreciation&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The old terms, words and their interpretations in regards to “Verehrung” and “Anbetung” as they are presented in the ”OM” represent a very high value in regards to the significance, greatness and respect for the Creation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to these high values are the negative qualities of the present day, namely viewed according to the understanding of the language, the values of the words as well as their interpretation by the Teaching of Truth, the Teaching of Spirit, the Teaching of Life presented anew and for the last time.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Knowing Kal&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By Garret Moore, Producer/Director UFOEARTH.NET&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was asked about my experience with knowing Kal Korff. I had mentioned him when at a conference talking to someone about Billy Meier. I had had an experience that involved Kal many years ago that proved to be the beginning of a trail of unfortunate and sad stories I would hear over the next almost 30 years. I might have been one of the first to know his tree’s fruit. Bitter as it was and proved to me to be. Early in my career as an illustrator and graphic designer, I was 23 at the time, a best friend of mine who was at that time a writer for Astrology Magazine among other publications, told me of someone he knew who was publishing a book and needed illustrations. I had already been published doing illustrations for a magazine article for Bill, but was, as a young artist and graphic designer, looking for as much valid paying work as I could to build my portfolio. My friend, a talented writer himself, introduced me to a younger man, Kal Korff, around 18–19 years old I thought, that told me with a convincing air of authority that he was a UFO investigator and was publishing a book exposing a hoax with then noted author Bill Moore (no relation) who, he said, was also a well known authority on UFOs. He said that they needed several illustrations for this book based on photos that where allegedly taken of an alien craft by a certain Billy Meier in Switzerland. I was shown glossy photographs of photos, and additional images that looked like the photos that were subjected to darkroom effects. Until then I had only seen a few of these images in magazines and articles. His opinion seemed to be pretty clear about Billy Meier person and was convinced he was a charlatan who needed to be exposed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was told that Billy’s photos had been taken to NASA in the south San Francisco Bay Area, Ames Research Center, and where subjected to photographic study by the NASA photographic study lab. I was, back then, of course intrigued by Kal’s book, as yet unfamiliar with the Meier information and wanted to know more as I had already decided to do the work internally for the excitement of the subject alone, if not the perfect portfolio subject matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was very motivated in the areas of science subjects then. Always infatuated with space science, physics, astronautics and UFOs since a small boy, I absorbed anything and everything to do with the subjects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That this guy, Kal, who was a bit younger than me, and a bit pompous and over certain, did not bother me, as these facts where obscured in the blind spot of my enthusiasm for the subject, and the possibility of also being published for the work. It was a life lesson ripe for the picking. The photos, while he said “they” (I assumed Bill Moore and NASA people) could not find any overt attempts at fakery, did, according to Kal, show signs of suspension, or supporting strings, through the then early “edge enhancement” and “color enhancement” photos. I could not actually see the evidence, and do not remember the reason he gave for the discrepancy, other than he did not have the evidenced images or that the images he had only showed slight indications I was not seeing. Kal then gave me the images to copy, he said were from this Billy Meier’s original negatives and said that due to copyrights he could not use in his book, and so came to me, knowing through my friend that I was an photographic illustrator. We discussed the need for using the images to demonstrate Kal’s theories and the need also for some concepts of how this was done for the camera, assuming these images where faked. I remember being very impressed by the pure clarity of Meier’s photos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Film and photographic print work I was already very familiar with, and even a bit of film study in college was part of my wide interests in graphics and illustration.&lt;br /&gt;
Kal wanted direct copies of these photos he loaned me, and in black and white airbrushed illustrations, having thought, in his and my own ignorance, that this was somehow legal. At that time, I was only partially aware of the details of copyright law, having only studied enough to protect my own work. As I was not interested in copying others works, had not yet gone deeper into the law, and doing such was then, 20 years before the internet, dependent on a trip to the library or a letter to the Government Copyright Office. And, while I did frequent the library often for research and reading, as well as send away for forms to the Copyright Office in Washington DC, I did not at the time of Kal’s request fully understand or have the legal knowledge to know this. He was at least as ignorant as I was, but knowing his character better now might have believed otherwise. I did become sort of an expert later in such matters, after a few events of being plagiarized myself, unfortunately. Kal also seemed very interested in my ideas of how such fakery could be done. Having a good mechanical reasoning ability, and being the creative person I was, I entertained a few ideas and told him I would think about this. I do not remember being told by Kal how I would be paid other than I would get credit and copies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was never paid a dime.&lt;br /&gt;
I began the process of illustrating the photos. I remember loving the process, having the photos next to me while I worked, thinking all the time on how such images where even possible. At that time, while I believed in such things as aliens and ships that could transit deep space where likely, I was an ethical person, and the idea that faked contact and or photos and such hoaxed accounts I understood even then, could only dissipate and cloud the UFO issue, and this had me concerned. Blinded somewhat by the fun of the project, and somewhat convinced by Kal’s convincing contentions on Meier, I came up with some rough ideas I thought could work for suspending a large object well away of any tall poll or structure. I don’t think though it was really possible. The concepts where just thoughts on paper however, and, never intended to be included in any final conclusions. I thought about it, as I told Kal I would, and it was the first idea I had. I drew them out, but did not do finished illustrations for them, thinking Kal would only consider them. After a few weeks I had eventually finished several airbrush illustrations based on the actual photos Kal had given me, and with the balloon suspension sketched concepts, gave them all to Kal, thinking the next time I saw him he would be returning the illustrations, and, a couple copies of the book with my credits published beside each illustration. This, however, I found was not to be the case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As time passed, I did not hear from Kal. I do not remember much from him in the way of communication, but eventually I did meet with him where he gave me one copy of a spiral bound, well,… book, that indeed had Bill Moore’s as well as Kal Korff’s authorship printed on the cover, was largely typewritten copy with my illustrations and credits, but not the “commercial bound book” I had expected. He told me that Omni Magazine had written a review and stated that as far as the Meier case was concerned, this book was like shooting an ant with an elephant gun. In other words, overkill for what the magazine considered nothing at all important in subject or scope. Typical for a pop science magazine.&lt;br /&gt;
That it was actually printed was all fine and good, but I wanted another copy, and, my original art back, of which several airbrushed images of considerable hours of work should have all been returned. Also, later upon glancing through the book I saw that without permission he had used my simple diagrams for how the photos could be faked with the balloon system. The book was out, already reviewed and he did not have another copy for me. Close to four weeks of work and nothing in return, except what looked to the entire world more like a book transcript than an actual book. I think I was stunned, and do not remember the reasons Kal did not have the artwork, as he might have blamed it on the other guy, Bill Moore, or the printer but was assured that he would get the art for me and another copy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I did not hear from Kal again. I did not have any contact information for him as he had moved, and my friend who was my original contact for him had written Kal off himself and lost contact. I didn’t blame him in the least. So, I eventually cut my losses, and wrote Kal off as an ass, a user and a cad, myself. I did see Kal many years later at a conference I was attending. I did approach him very nicely, more as an old friend, and asked if he had found the art, or had an additional copy of the book for me, but was told he was in a hurry and I could contact him. He treated me like an unimportant fan, and I sensed more than a bit of concern on his part, seeing me at such an inopportune moment. He handed me his card and was off and out the door to another room where he no doubt was pawning his theories on other unsuspecting conference people. That was it. He now had no credibility as a person for me. His character seemed plain, and when I offered a friendly reconnect, my own business card and very nonconfrontative request for my work for a promised copy of the book, was dismissed with less than a friendly apology. He seemed to be building on what I already knew of him. I did sense it was catching up with him however eventually. I did not follow his works, as I don’t like watching tragedy or negative news much, just enough to know the weather, so to speak. More recently I found his works had done much damage to people I might soon be working with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It seemed the trail of destruction had some more recent history as well. He was gone from the country, in a completely new world in Eastern Europe. I could easily formulate the reasons.&lt;br /&gt;
You know a tree by its fruit, it is said. I have over the years caught wind of Kal’s exploits as a writer, UFO debunker and a media personality. I have seen the very real emotional and life damage Kal has done to ruin several good people’s lives by his seemingly destructive and plainly mean tactics with seemingly no empathetic or compassionate sense whatsoever. His sole purpose it seemed was to destroy the lives of people whom he himself judged as wrong. Even if just questionably wrong or just innocently misinformed, no one deserves such caustic and unrelenting poison as Kal continually delivered publicly in books, lectures, media and articles. I sense that Kal has nothing of value for anyone, unfortunately, mostly himself.&lt;br /&gt;
For Billy Meier, I would apologize for any harm done in my younger ignorance. And, also thank him for his and his celestial friends, hopeful and positive materials, while if either true or imagined, is still worthy of deep consideration at the very least. It is also, the material we are given, to imagine as true, so we can make it real, even if we are told it is not. For until those who would attempt to squelch such beauty can show us something more, filled with more hope and such good for this life’s dimension, I will continue to face to the warmth and the light. Following and believing my heart, and never another’s angry words.&lt;br /&gt;

----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the “OM” and in an excerpt from the “OM“ in the booklet “49 Questions” it is written that only the Creation is worthy of worship (verehrungswürdig) and adoration (anbetungswürdig), but in contrast to this, it states in “FIGU in a Nutshell” point 4, that the Creation should not be worshipped or venerated. A person tried to explain to me that this results in a contradiction.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Schantz Scott, USA&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This does not deal with a contradiction but rather an obvious lack of understanding of the facts of the true meaning of the words by a person who has not worked with the Spirit-Teaching (Geisteslehre) and its old style of writing; consequently this person is not familiar with this field and judges only according to popular and religious meanings without understanding the fundamental meaning of the terms. The old meaning of the German words as used in the “OM”, as for example “Verehrung” and “Anbetung”, are not the same as what is found today in the common incorrect assessment and interpretation of terms. The content of the “OM” does not date back several millenniums but rather millions of years, and consequently various terms had at that time a completely different meaning as what those same terms have today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Old terms, that are newly presented in the Spirit-Teaching and have a meaning and interpretation that is more accurate than what is generally the case with the common meaning in the present day language, show precisely for the first time what meaning is to be truly understood by them. What becomes evident especially in regards to the German language is that it is it not possible for it to be translated exactly and completely into another language to the extent that the exact meaning is conveyed. Truthfully, a translation capturing the general meaning from German into another language can occur only partially and through rephrasing, however, never in a complete and precise manner. The reason for this is the great many words and terms in the German language which specifically describe and convey very accurately definite values which are not found in other languages due to their poor vocabulary; whereby these languages are to be referred to as meagre languages in comparison to the German language. From this alone, that the German language has for many things very clear, appropriate and precise terms which are lacking in all the other known earthly languages, misunderstandings arise, which is also one of the most important reasons why in regards to the translation of every FIGU-writing that deals with Spirit-Teaching themes or with every book with Spirit-Teaching content, the original German text must be given along with the translation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And because the necessary extensive understanding of the Spirit-Teaching text can only be realised when someone has a good command of the German language, every human being who is interested in the Teaching of Truth, Teaching of Spirit, Teaching of Life is urged to learn the German language comprehensively. In the old languages, as given in the “OM”, the various terms have often completely different meanings as with those meanings in the recently given Spirit-Teaching and in the present day general usage. Since time immemorial languages have continuously changed and improved as well as the meanings and their interpretations which is particularly the case in regards to the words, terms and interpretations found in the Spirit-Teaching, and above all regarding the great many terms given in the &amp;quot;OM&amp;quot;. So, in the present day usage of the German language, the word “Verehrung” has in meaning and interpretation the following negative qualities:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
deutsch - English&lt;br /&gt;
Vergötterung - idolisation&lt;br /&gt;
Huldigung - homage&lt;br /&gt;
Bevorzugung	preference - given to someone or something&lt;br /&gt;
Kniefall - prostration&lt;br /&gt;
Gläubigkeit - unquestioning faith/devoutness&lt;br /&gt;
Verzückung - ecstasy/rapture&lt;br /&gt;
Verherrlichung - glorification&lt;br /&gt;
Vergötzung - making someone/something a god&lt;br /&gt;
Verklärung - apotheosis&lt;br /&gt;
Fanatismus - fanaticism&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and in regards to “Anbetung” (worship) the present day meaning and interpretation have the following negative qualities:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
deutsch - English&lt;br /&gt;
Anflehung - supplication, the act of pleading/imploring to someone&lt;br /&gt;
Erbettelung - begging&lt;br /&gt;
Erflehung - craving&lt;br /&gt;
Erheischung - demanding&lt;br /&gt;
Beschwörung - incantation/invocation&lt;br /&gt;
Begehrung - the desire for something/someone&lt;br /&gt;
Demütigkeit - humbleness/submissiveness&lt;br /&gt;
Selbstaufgabe - the surrendering of one&#039;s self/personality&lt;br /&gt;
Selbsterniedrigung - self-abasement&lt;br /&gt;
Ansuchung - request&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Long ago the term “Verehrung” as it is used in the “OM”, had a completely different meaning, namely in the sense of:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
deutsch - English&lt;br /&gt;
Ehrerweisung - honour&lt;br /&gt;
Anerkennung - acknowledgement,recognition,honouring, praising&lt;br /&gt;
Hochachtung - great respect/high esteem&lt;br /&gt;
Hochschätzung - high regard&lt;br /&gt;
Würdeerweisung - to show dignity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and concerning the term “Anbetung” as mentioned in the “OM” its meaning in the old days was:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
deutsch - English&lt;br /&gt;
Billigung(Anerkennung) - approval&lt;br /&gt;
Würdigung - appraisal/appreciation&lt;br /&gt;
Achtungserweisung - show respect&lt;br /&gt;
Wertschätzung - esteem/appreciation&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The old terms, words and their interpretations in regards to “Verehrung” and “Anbetung” as they are presented in the ”OM” represent a very high value in regards to the significance, greatness and respect for the Creation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to these high values are the negative qualities of the present day, namely viewed according to the understanding of the language, the values of the words as well as their interpretation by the Teaching of Truth, the Teaching of Spirit, the Teaching of Life presented anew and for the last time.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Knowing Kal&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By Garret Moore, Producer/Director UFOEARTH.NET&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was asked about my experience with knowing Kal Korff. I had mentioned him when at a conference talking to someone about Billy Meier. I had had an experience that involved Kal many years ago that proved to be the beginning of a trail of unfortunate and sad stories I would hear over the next almost 30 years. I might have been one of the first to know his tree’s fruit. Bitter as it was and proved to me to be.

Blinded somewhat by the fun of the project, and somewhat convinced by Kal’s convincing contentions on Meier, I came up with some rough ideas I thought could work for suspending a large object well away of any tall poll or structure. I don’t think though it was really possible. The concepts where just thoughts on paper however, and, never intended to be included in any final conclusions. I thought about it, as I told Kal I would, and it was the first idea I had. I drew them out, but did not do finished illustrations for them, thinking Kal would only consider them. After a few weeks I had eventually finished several airbrush illustrations based on the actual photos Kal had given me, and with the balloon suspension sketched concepts, gave them all to Kal, thinking the next time I saw him he would be returning the illustrations, and, a couple copies of the book with my credits published beside each illustration. This, however, I found was not to be the case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As time passed, I did not hear from Kal. I do not remember much from him in the way of communication, but eventually I did meet with him where he gave me one copy of a spiral bound, well,… book, that indeed had Bill Moore’s as well as Kal Korff’s authorship printed on the cover, was largely typewritten copy with my illustrations and credits, but not the “commercial bound book” I had expected. He told me that Omni Magazine had written a review and stated that as far as the Meier case was concerned, this book was like shooting an ant with an elephant gun. In other words, overkill for what the magazine considered nothing at all important in subject or scope. Typical for a pop science magazine.&lt;br /&gt;
That it was actually printed was all fine and good, but I wanted another copy, and, my original art back, of which several airbrushed images of considerable hours of work should have all been returned. Also, later upon glancing through the book I saw that without permission he had used my simple diagrams for how the photos could be faked with the balloon system. The book was out, already reviewed and he did not have another copy for me. Close to four weeks of work and nothing in return, except what looked to the entire world more like a book transcript than an actual book. I think I was stunned, and do not remember the reasons Kal did not have the artwork, as he might have blamed it on the other guy, Bill Moore, or the printer but was assured that he would get the art for me and another copy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I did not hear from Kal again. I did not have any contact information for him as he had moved, and my friend who was my original contact for him had written Kal off himself and lost contact. I didn’t blame him in the least. So, I eventually cut my losses, and wrote Kal off as an ass, a user and a cad, myself. I did see Kal many years later at a conference I was attending. I did approach him very nicely, more as an old friend, and asked if he had found the art, or had an additional copy of the book for me, but was told he was in a hurry and I could contact him. He treated me like an unimportant fan, and I sensed more than a bit of concern on his part, seeing me at such an inopportune moment. He handed me his card and was off and out the door to another room where he no doubt was pawning his theories on other unsuspecting conference people. That was it. He now had no credibility as a person for me. His character seemed plain, and when I offered a friendly reconnect, my own business card and very nonconfrontative request for my work for a promised copy of the book, was dismissed with less than a friendly apology. He seemed to be building on what I already knew of him. I did sense it was catching up with him however eventually. I did not follow his works, as I don’t like watching tragedy or negative news much, just enough to know the weather, so to speak. More recently I found his works had done much damage to people I might soon be working with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It seemed the trail of destruction had some more recent history as well. He was gone from the country, in a completely new world in Eastern Europe. I could easily formulate the reasons.&lt;br /&gt;
You know a tree by its fruit, it is said. I have over the years caught wind of Kal’s exploits as a writer, UFO debunker and a media personality. I have seen the very real emotional and life damage Kal has done to ruin several good people’s lives by his seemingly destructive and plainly mean tactics with seemingly no empathetic or compassionate sense whatsoever. His sole purpose it seemed was to destroy the lives of people whom he himself judged as wrong. Even if just questionably wrong or just innocently misinformed, no one deserves such caustic and unrelenting poison as Kal continually delivered publicly in books, lectures, media and articles. I sense that Kal has nothing of value for anyone, unfortunately, mostly himself.&lt;br /&gt;
For Billy Meier, I would apologize for any harm done in my younger ignorance. And, also thank him for his and his celestial friends, hopeful and positive materials, while if either true or imagined, is still worthy of deep consideration at the very least. It is also, the material we are given, to imagine as true, so we can make it real, even if we are told it is not. For until those who would attempt to squelch such beauty can show us something more, filled with more hope and such good for this life’s dimension, I will continue to face to the warmth and the light. Following and believing my heart, and never another’s angry words.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In the “OM” and in an excerpt from the “OM“ in the booklet “49 Questions” it is written that only the Creation is worthy of worship (verehrungswürdig) and adoration (anbetungswürdig), but in contrast to this, it states in “FIGU in a Nutshell” point 4, that the Creation should not be worshipped or venerated. A person tried to explain to me that this results in a contradiction.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Schantz Scott, USA&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
This does not deal with a contradiction but rather an obvious lack of understanding of the facts of the true meaning of the words by a person who has not worked with the Spirit-Teaching (Geisteslehre) and its old style of writing; consequently this person is not familiar with this field and judges only according to popular and religious meanings without understanding the fundamental meaning of the terms. The old meaning of the German words as used in the “OM”, as for example “Verehrung” and “Anbetung”, are not the same as what is found today in the common incorrect assessment and interpretation of terms. The content of the “OM” does not date back several millenniums but rather millions of years, and consequently various terms had at that time a completely different meaning as what those same terms have today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Old terms, that are newly presented in the Spirit-Teaching and have a meaning and interpretation that is more accurate than what is generally the case with the common meaning in the present day language, show precisely for the first time what meaning is to be truly understood by them. What becomes evident especially in regards to the German language is that it is it not possible for it to be translated exactly and completely into another language to the extent that the exact meaning is conveyed. Truthfully, a translation capturing the general meaning from German into another language can occur only partially and through rephrasing, however, never in a complete and precise manner. The reason for this is the great many words and terms in the German language which specifically describe and convey very accurately definite values which are not found in other languages due to their poor vocabulary; whereby these languages are to be referred to as meagre languages in comparison to the German language. From this alone, that the German language has for many things very clear, appropriate and precise terms which are lacking in all the other known earthly languages, misunderstandings arise, which is also one of the most important reasons why in regards to the translation of every FIGU-writing that deals with Spirit-Teaching themes or with every book with Spirit-Teaching content, the original German text must be given along with the translation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And because the necessary extensive understanding of the Spirit-Teaching text can only be realised when someone has a good command of the German language, every human being who is interested in the Teaching of Truth, Teaching of Spirit, Teaching of Life is urged to learn the German language comprehensively. In the old languages, as given in the “OM”, the various terms have often completely different meanings as with those meanings in the recently given Spirit-Teaching and in the present day general usage. Since time immemorial languages have continuously changed and improved as well as the meanings and their interpretations which is particularly the case in regards to the words, terms and interpretations found in the Spirit-Teaching, and above all regarding the great many terms given in the &amp;quot;OM&amp;quot;. So, in the present day usage of the German language, the word “Verehrung” has in meaning and interpretation the following negative qualities:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
deutsch - English&lt;br /&gt;
Vergötterung - idolisation&lt;br /&gt;
Huldigung - homage&lt;br /&gt;
Bevorzugung	preference - given to someone or something&lt;br /&gt;
Kniefall - prostration&lt;br /&gt;
Gläubigkeit - unquestioning faith/devoutness&lt;br /&gt;
Verzückung - ecstasy/rapture&lt;br /&gt;
Verherrlichung - glorification&lt;br /&gt;
Vergötzung - making someone/something a god&lt;br /&gt;
Verklärung - apotheosis&lt;br /&gt;
Fanatismus - fanaticism&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and in regards to “Anbetung” (worship) the present day meaning and interpretation have the following negative qualities:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
deutsch - English&lt;br /&gt;
Anflehung - supplication, the act of pleading/imploring to someone&lt;br /&gt;
Erbettelung - begging&lt;br /&gt;
Erflehung - craving&lt;br /&gt;
Erheischung - demanding&lt;br /&gt;
Beschwörung - incantation/invocation&lt;br /&gt;
Begehrung - the desire for something/someone&lt;br /&gt;
Demütigkeit - humbleness/submissiveness&lt;br /&gt;
Selbstaufgabe - the surrendering of one&#039;s self/personality&lt;br /&gt;
Selbsterniedrigung - self-abasement&lt;br /&gt;
Ansuchung - request&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Long ago the term “Verehrung” as it is used in the “OM”, had a completely different meaning, namely in the sense of:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
deutsch - English&lt;br /&gt;
Ehrerweisung - honour&lt;br /&gt;
Anerkennung - acknowledgement,recognition,honouring, praising&lt;br /&gt;
Hochachtung - great respect/high esteem&lt;br /&gt;
Hochschätzung - high regard&lt;br /&gt;
Würdeerweisung - to show dignity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and concerning the term “Anbetung” as mentioned in the “OM” its meaning in the old days was:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
deutsch - English&lt;br /&gt;
Billigung(Anerkennung) - approval&lt;br /&gt;
Würdigung - appraisal/appreciation&lt;br /&gt;
Achtungserweisung - show respect&lt;br /&gt;
Wertschätzung - esteem/appreciation&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The old terms, words and their interpretations in regards to “Verehrung” and “Anbetung” as they are presented in the ”OM” represent a very high value in regards to the significance, greatness and respect for the Creation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to these high values are the negative qualities of the present day, namely viewed according to the understanding of the language, the values of the words as well as their interpretation by the Teaching of Truth, the Teaching of Spirit, the Teaching of Life presented anew and for the last time.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Knowing Kal&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By Garret Moore, Producer/Director UFOEARTH.NET&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was asked about my experience with knowing Kal Korff. I had mentioned him when at a conference talking to someone about Billy Meier. I had had an experience that involved Kal many years ago that proved to be the beginning of a trail of unfortunate and sad stories I would hear over the next almost 30 years. I might have been one of the first to know his tree’s fruit. Bitter as it was and proved to me to be. Early in my career as an illustrator and graphic designer, I was 23 at the time, a best friend of mine who was at that time a writer for Astrology Magazine among other publications, told me of someone he knew who was publishing a book and needed illustrations. I had already been published doing illustrations for a magazine article for Bill, but was, as a young artist and graphic designer, looking for as much valid paying work as I could to build my portfolio. My friend, a talented writer himself, introduced me to a younger man, Kal Korff, around 18–19 years old I thought, that told me with a convincing air of authority that he was a UFO investigator and was publishing a book exposing a hoax with then noted author Bill Moore (no relation) who, he said, was also a well known authority on UFOs. He said that they needed several illustrations for this book based on photos that where allegedly taken of an alien craft by a certain Billy Meier in Switzerland. I was shown glossy photographs of photos, and additional images that looked like the photos that were subjected to darkroom effects. Until then I had only seen a few of these images in magazines and articles. His opinion seemed to be pretty clear about Billy Meier person and was convinced he was a charlatan who needed to be exposed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was told that Billy’s photos had been taken to NASA in the south San Francisco Bay Area, Ames Research Center, and where subjected to photographic study by the NASA photographic study lab. I was, back then, of course intrigued by Kal’s book, as yet unfamiliar with the Meier information and wanted to know more as I had already decided to do the work internally for the excitement of the subject alone, if not the perfect portfolio subject matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was very motivated in the areas of science subjects then. Always infatuated with space science, physics, astronautics and UFOs since a small boy, I absorbed anything and everything to do with the subjects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That this guy, Kal, who was a bit younger than me, and a bit pompous and over certain, did not bother me, as these facts where obscured in the blind spot of my enthusiasm for the subject, and the possibility of also being published for the work. It was a life lesson ripe for the picking. The photos, while he said “they” (I assumed Bill Moore and NASA people) could not find any overt attempts at fakery, did, according to Kal, show signs of suspension, or supporting strings, through the then early “edge enhancement” and “color enhancement” photos. I could not actually see the evidence, and do not remember the reason he gave for the discrepancy, other than he did not have the evidenced images or that the images he had only showed slight indications I was not seeing. Kal then gave me the images to copy, he said were from this Billy Meier’s original negatives and said that due to copyrights he could not use in his book, and so came to me, knowing through my friend that I was an photographic illustrator. We discussed the need for using the images to demonstrate Kal’s theories and the need also for some concepts of how this was done for the camera, assuming these images where faked. I remember being very impressed by the pure clarity of Meier’s photos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Film and photographic print work I was already very familiar with, and even a bit of film study in college was part of my wide interests in graphics and illustration.&lt;br /&gt;
Kal wanted direct copies of these photos he loaned me, and in black and white airbrushed illustrations, having thought, in his and my own ignorance, that this was somehow legal. At that time, I was only partially aware of the details of copyright law, having only studied enough to protect my own work. As I was not interested in copying others works, had not yet gone deeper into the law, and doing such was then, 20 years before the internet, dependent on a trip to the library or a letter to the Government Copyright Office. And, while I did frequent the library often for research and reading, as well as send away for forms to the Copyright Office in Washington DC, I did not at the time of Kal’s request fully understand or have the legal knowledge to know this. He was at least as ignorant as I was, but knowing his character better now might have believed otherwise. I did become sort of an expert later in such matters, after a few events of being plagiarized myself, unfortunately. Kal also seemed very interested in my ideas of how such fakery could be done. Having a good mechanical reasoning ability, and being the creative person I was, I entertained a few ideas and told him I would think about this. I do not remember being told by Kal how I would be paid other than I would get credit and copies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was never paid a dime.&lt;br /&gt;
I began the process of illustrating the photos. I remember loving the process, having the photos next to me while I worked, thinking all the time on how such images where even possible. At that time, while I believed in such things as aliens and ships that could transit deep space where likely, I was an ethical person, and the idea that faked contact and or photos and such hoaxed accounts I understood even then, could only dissipate and cloud the UFO issue, and this had me concerned. Blinded somewhat by the fun of the project, and somewhat convinced by Kal’s convincing contentions on Meier, I came up with some rough ideas I thought could work for suspending a large object well away of any tall poll or structure. I don’t think though it was really possible. The concepts where just thoughts on paper however, and, never intended to be included in any final conclusions. I thought about it, as I told Kal I would, and it was the first idea I had. I drew them out, but did not do finished illustrations for them, thinking Kal would only consider them. After a few weeks I had eventually finished several airbrush illustrations based on the actual photos Kal had given me, and with the balloon suspension sketched concepts, gave them all to Kal, thinking the next time I saw him he would be returning the illustrations, and, a couple copies of the book with my credits published beside each illustration. This, however, I found was not to be the case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As time passed, I did not hear from Kal. I do not remember much from him in the way of communication, but eventually I did meet with him where he gave me one copy of a spiral bound, well,… book, that indeed had Bill Moore’s as well as Kal Korff’s authorship printed on the cover, was largely typewritten copy with my illustrations and credits, but not the “commercial bound book” I had expected.

----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the “OM” and in an excerpt from the “OM“ in the booklet “49 Questions” it is written that only the Creation is worthy of worship (verehrungswürdig) and adoration (anbetungswürdig), but in contrast to this, it states in “FIGU in a Nutshell” point 4, that the Creation should not be worshipped or venerated. A person tried to explain to me that this results in a contradiction.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Schantz Scott, USA&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Answer&lt;br /&gt;
This does not deal with a contradiction but rather an obvious lack of understanding of the facts of the true meaning of the words by a person who has not worked with the Spirit-Teaching (Geisteslehre) and its old style of writing; consequently this person is not familiar with this field and judges only according to popular and religious meanings without understanding the fundamental meaning of the terms. The old meaning of the German words as used in the “OM”, as for example “Verehrung” and “Anbetung”, are not the same as what is found today in the common incorrect assessment and interpretation of terms. The content of the “OM” does not date back several millenniums but rather millions of years, and consequently various terms had at that time a completely different meaning as what those same terms have today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Old terms, that are newly presented in the Spirit-Teaching and have a meaning and interpretation that is more accurate than what is generally the case with the common meaning in the present day language, show precisely for the first time what meaning is to be truly understood by them. What becomes evident especially in regards to the German language is that it is it not possible for it to be translated exactly and completely into another language to the extent that the exact meaning is conveyed. Truthfully, a translation capturing the general meaning from German into another language can occur only partially and through rephrasing, however, never in a complete and precise manner. The reason for this is the great many words and terms in the German language which specifically describe and convey very accurately definite values which are not found in other languages due to their poor vocabulary; whereby these languages are to be referred to as meagre languages in comparison to the German language. From this alone, that the German language has for many things very clear, appropriate and precise terms which are lacking in all the other known earthly languages, misunderstandings arise, which is also one of the most important reasons why in regards to the translation of every FIGU-writing that deals with Spirit-Teaching themes or with every book with Spirit-Teaching content, the original German text must be given along with the translation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And because the necessary extensive understanding of the Spirit-Teaching text can only be realised when someone has a good command of the German language, every human being who is interested in the Teaching of Truth, Teaching of Spirit, Teaching of Life is urged to learn the German language comprehensively. In the old languages, as given in the “OM”, the various terms have often completely different meanings as with those meanings in the recently given Spirit-Teaching and in the present day general usage. Since time immemorial languages have continuously changed and improved as well as the meanings and their interpretations which is particularly the case in regards to the words, terms and interpretations found in the Spirit-Teaching, and above all regarding the great many terms given in the &amp;quot;OM&amp;quot;. So, in the present day usage of the German language, the word “Verehrung” has in meaning and interpretation the following negative qualities:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
deutsch - English&lt;br /&gt;
Vergötterung - idolisation&lt;br /&gt;
Huldigung - homage&lt;br /&gt;
Bevorzugung	preference - given to someone or something&lt;br /&gt;
Kniefall - prostration&lt;br /&gt;
Gläubigkeit - unquestioning faith/devoutness&lt;br /&gt;
Verzückung - ecstasy/rapture&lt;br /&gt;
Verherrlichung - glorification&lt;br /&gt;
Vergötzung - making someone/something a god&lt;br /&gt;
Verklärung - apotheosis&lt;br /&gt;
Fanatismus - fanaticism&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and in regards to “Anbetung” (worship) the present day meaning and interpretation have the following negative qualities:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
deutsch - English&lt;br /&gt;
Anflehung - supplication, the act of pleading/imploring to someone&lt;br /&gt;
Erbettelung - begging&lt;br /&gt;
Erflehung - craving&lt;br /&gt;
Erheischung - demanding&lt;br /&gt;
Beschwörung - incantation/invocation&lt;br /&gt;
Begehrung - the desire for something/someone&lt;br /&gt;
Demütigkeit - humbleness/submissiveness&lt;br /&gt;
Selbstaufgabe - the surrendering of one&#039;s self/personality&lt;br /&gt;
Selbsterniedrigung - self-abasement&lt;br /&gt;
Ansuchung - request&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Long ago the term “Verehrung” as it is used in the “OM”, had a completely different meaning, namely in the sense of:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
deutsch - English&lt;br /&gt;
Ehrerweisung - honour&lt;br /&gt;
Anerkennung - acknowledgement,recognition,honouring, praising&lt;br /&gt;
Hochachtung - great respect/high esteem&lt;br /&gt;
Hochschätzung - high regard&lt;br /&gt;
Würdeerweisung - to show dignity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and concerning the term “Anbetung” as mentioned in the “OM” its meaning in the old days was:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
deutsch - English&lt;br /&gt;
Billigung(Anerkennung) - approval&lt;br /&gt;
Würdigung - appraisal/appreciation&lt;br /&gt;
Achtungserweisung - show respect&lt;br /&gt;
Wertschätzung - esteem/appreciation&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The old terms, words and their interpretations in regards to “Verehrung” and “Anbetung” as they are presented in the ”OM” represent a very high value in regards to the significance, greatness and respect for the Creation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to these high values are the negative qualities of the present day, namely viewed according to the understanding of the language, the values of the words as well as their interpretation by the Teaching of Truth, the Teaching of Spirit, the Teaching of Life presented anew and for the last time.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Knowing Kal&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By Garret Moore, Producer/Director UFOEARTH.NET&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was asked about my experience with knowing Kal Korff. I had mentioned him when at a conference talking to someone about Billy Meier. I had had an experience that involved Kal many years ago that proved to be the beginning of a trail of unfortunate and sad stories I would hear over the next almost 30 years. I might have been one of the first to know his tree’s fruit. Bitter as it was and proved to me to be. Early in my career as an illustrator and graphic designer, I was 23 at the time, a best friend of mine who was at that time a writer for Astrology Magazine among other publications, told me of someone he knew who was publishing a book and needed illustrations. I had already been published doing illustrations for a magazine article for Bill, but was, as a young artist and graphic designer, looking for as much valid paying work as I could to build my portfolio. My friend, a talented writer himself, introduced me to a younger man, Kal Korff, around 18–19 years old I thought, that told me with a convincing air of authority that he was a UFO investigator and was publishing a book exposing a hoax with then noted author Bill Moore (no relation) who, he said, was also a well known authority on UFOs. He said that they needed several illustrations for this book based on photos that where allegedly taken of an alien craft by a certain Billy Meier in Switzerland. I was shown glossy photographs of photos, and additional images that looked like the photos that were subjected to darkroom effects. Until then I had only seen a few of these images in magazines and articles. His opinion seemed to be pretty clear about Billy Meier person and was convinced he was a charlatan who needed to be exposed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was told that Billy’s photos had been taken to NASA in the south San Francisco Bay Area, Ames Research Center, and where subjected to photographic study by the NASA photographic study lab. I was, back then, of course intrigued by Kal’s book, as yet unfamiliar with the Meier information and wanted to know more as I had already decided to do the work internally for the excitement of the subject alone, if not the perfect portfolio subject matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was very motivated in the areas of science subjects then. Always infatuated with space science, physics, astronautics and UFOs since a small boy, I absorbed anything and everything to do with the subjects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That this guy, Kal, who was a bit younger than me, and a bit pompous and over certain, did not bother me, as these facts where obscured in the blind spot of my enthusiasm for the subject, and the possibility of also being published for the work. It was a life lesson ripe for the picking. The photos, while he said “they” (I assumed Bill Moore and NASA people) could not find any overt attempts at fakery, did, according to Kal, show signs of suspension, or supporting strings, through the then early “edge enhancement” and “color enhancement” photos. I could not actually see the evidence, and do not remember the reason he gave for the discrepancy, other than he did not have the evidenced images or that the images he had only showed slight indications I was not seeing. Kal then gave me the images to copy, he said were from this Billy Meier’s original negatives and said that due to copyrights he could not use in his book, and so came to me, knowing through my friend that I was an photographic illustrator. We discussed the need for using the images to demonstrate Kal’s theories and the need also for some concepts of how this was done for the camera, assuming these images where faked. I remember being very impressed by the pure clarity of Meier’s photos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Film and photographic print work I was already very familiar with, and even a bit of film study in college was part of my wide interests in graphics and illustration.&lt;br /&gt;
Kal wanted direct copies of these photos he loaned me, and in black and white airbrushed illustrations, having thought, in his and my own ignorance, that this was somehow legal. At that time, I was only partially aware of the details of copyright law, having only studied enough to protect my own work. As I was not interested in copying others works, had not yet gone deeper into the law, and doing such was then, 20 years before the internet, dependent on a trip to the library or a letter to the Government Copyright Office. And, while I did frequent the library often for research and reading, as well as send away for forms to the Copyright Office in Washington DC, I did not at the time of Kal’s request fully understand or have the legal knowledge to know this. He was at least as ignorant as I was, but knowing his character better now might have believed otherwise. I did become sort of an expert later in such matters, after a few events of being plagiarized myself, unfortunately. Kal also seemed very interested in my ideas of how such fakery could be done. Having a good mechanical reasoning ability, and being the creative person I was, I entertained a few ideas and told him I would think about this. I do not remember being told by Kal how I would be paid other than I would get credit and copies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was never paid a dime.&lt;br /&gt;
I began the process of illustrating the photos. I remember loving the process, having the photos next to me while I worked, thinking all the time on how such images where even possible. At that time, while I believed in such things as aliens and ships that could transit deep space where likely, I was an ethical person, and the idea that faked contact and or photos and such hoaxed accounts I understood even then, could only dissipate and cloud the UFO issue, and this had me concerned. Blinded somewhat by the fun of the project, and somewhat convinced by Kal’s convincing contentions on Meier, I came up with some rough ideas I thought could work for suspending a large object well away of any tall poll or structure. I don’t think though it was really possible. The concepts where just thoughts on paper however, and, never intended to be included in any final conclusions. I thought about it, as I told Kal I would, and it was the first idea I had. I drew them out, but did not do finished illustrations for them, thinking Kal would only consider them. After a few weeks I had eventually finished several airbrush illustrations based on the actual photos Kal had given me, and with the balloon suspension sketched concepts, gave them all to Kal, thinking the next time I saw him he would be returning the illustrations, and, a couple copies of the book with my credits published beside each illustration. This, however, I found was not to be the case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As time passed, I did not hear from Kal. I do not remember much from him in the way of communication, but eventually I did meet with him where he gave me one copy of a spiral bound, well,… book, that indeed had Bill Moore’s as well as Kal Korff’s authorship printed on the cover, was largely typewritten copy with my illustrations and credits, but not the “commercial bound book” I had expected. He told me that Omni Magazine had written a review and stated that as far as the Meier case was concerned, this book was like shooting an ant with an elephant gun. In other words, overkill for what the magazine considered nothing at all important in subject or scope. Typical for a pop science magazine.&lt;br /&gt;
That it was actually printed was all fine and good, but I wanted another copy, and, my original art back, of which several airbrushed images of considerable hours of work should have all been returned. Also, later upon glancing through the book I saw that without permission he had used my simple diagrams for how the photos could be faked with the balloon system. The book was out, already reviewed and he did not have another copy for me. Close to four weeks of work and nothing in return, except what looked to the entire world more like a book transcript than an actual book. I think I was stunned, and do not remember the reasons Kal did not have the artwork, as he might have blamed it on the other guy, Bill Moore, or the printer but was assured that he would get the art for me and another copy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I did not hear from Kal again. I did not have any contact information for him as he had moved, and my friend who was my original contact for him had written Kal off himself and lost contact. I didn’t blame him in the least. So, I eventually cut my losses, and wrote Kal off as an ass, a user and a cad, myself. I did see Kal many years later at a conference I was attending. I did approach him very nicely, more as an old friend, and asked if he had found the art, or had an additional copy of the book for me, but was told he was in a hurry and I could contact him. He treated me like an unimportant fan, and I sensed more than a bit of concern on his part, seeing me at such an inopportune moment. He handed me his card and was off and out the door to another room where he no doubt was pawning his theories on other unsuspecting conference people. That was it. He now had no credibility as a person for me. His character seemed plain, and when I offered a friendly reconnect, my own business card and very nonconfrontative request for my work for a promised copy of the book, was dismissed with less than a friendly apology. He seemed to be building on what I already knew of him. I did sense it was catching up with him however eventually. I did not follow his works, as I don’t like watching tragedy or negative news much, just enough to know the weather, so to speak. More recently I found his works had done much damage to people I might soon be working with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It seemed the trail of destruction had some more recent history as well. He was gone from the country, in a completely new world in Eastern Europe. I could easily formulate the reasons.&lt;br /&gt;
You know a tree by its fruit, it is said. I have over the years caught wind of Kal’s exploits as a writer, UFO debunker and a media personality. I have seen the very real emotional and life damage Kal has done to ruin several good people’s lives by his seemingly destructive and plainly mean tactics with seemingly no empathetic or compassionate sense whatsoever. His sole purpose it seemed was to destroy the lives of people whom he himself judged as wrong. Even if just questionably wrong or just innocently misinformed, no one deserves such caustic and unrelenting poison as Kal continually delivered publicly in books, lectures, media and articles. I sense that Kal has nothing of value for anyone, unfortunately, mostly himself.&lt;br /&gt;
For Billy Meier, I would apologize for any harm done in my younger ignorance. And, also thank him for his and his celestial friends, hopeful and positive materials, while if either true or imagined, is still worthy of deep consideration at the very least. It is also, the material we are given, to imagine as true, so we can make it real, even if we are told it is not. For until those who would attempt to squelch such beauty can show us something more, filled with more hope and such good for this life’s dimension, I will continue to face to the warmth and the light. Following and believing my heart, and never another’s angry words.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Question&lt;br /&gt;
In the “OM” and in an excerpt from the “OM“ in the booklet “49 Questions” it is written that only the Creation is worthy of worship (verehrungswürdig) and adoration (anbetungswürdig), but in contrast to this, it states in “FIGU in a Nutshell” point 4, that the Creation should not be worshipped or venerated. A person tried to explain to me that this results in a contradiction.&lt;br /&gt;
Schantz Scott, USA&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Answer&lt;br /&gt;
This does not deal with a contradiction but rather an obvious lack of understanding of the facts of the true meaning of the words by a person who has not worked with the Spirit-Teaching (Geisteslehre) and its old style of writing; consequently this person is not familiar with this field and judges only according to popular and religious meanings without understanding the fundamental meaning of the terms. The old meaning of the German words as used in the “OM”, as for example “Verehrung” and “Anbetung”, are not the same as what is found today in the common incorrect assessment and interpretation of terms. The content of the “OM” does not date back several millenniums but rather millions of years, and consequently various terms had at that time a completely different meaning as what those same terms have today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Old terms, that are newly presented in the Spirit-Teaching and have a meaning and interpretation that is more accurate than what is generally the case with the common meaning in the present day language, show precisely for the first time what meaning is to be truly understood by them. What becomes evident especially in regards to the German language is that it is it not possible for it to be translated exactly and completely into another language to the extent that the exact meaning is conveyed. Truthfully, a translation capturing the general meaning from German into another language can occur only partially and through rephrasing, however, never in a complete and precise manner. The reason for this is the great many words and terms in the German language which specifically describe and convey very accurately definite values which are not found in other languages due to their poor vocabulary; whereby these languages are to be referred to as meagre languages in comparison to the German language. From this alone, that the German language has for many things very clear, appropriate and precise terms which are lacking in all the other known earthly languages, misunderstandings arise, which is also one of the most important reasons why in regards to the translation of every FIGU-writing that deals with Spirit-Teaching themes or with every book with Spirit-Teaching content, the original German text must be given along with the translation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And because the necessary extensive understanding of the Spirit-Teaching text can only be realised when someone has a good command of the German language, every human being who is interested in the Teaching of Truth, Teaching of Spirit, Teaching of Life is urged to learn the German language comprehensively. In the old languages, as given in the “OM”, the various terms have often completely different meanings as with those meanings in the recently given Spirit-Teaching and in the present day general usage. Since time immemorial languages have continuously changed and improved as well as the meanings and their interpretations which is particularly the case in regards to the words, terms and interpretations found in the Spirit-Teaching, and above all regarding the great many terms given in the &amp;quot;OM&amp;quot;. So, in the present day usage of the German language, the word “Verehrung” has in meaning and interpretation the following negative qualities:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
deutsch - English&lt;br /&gt;
Vergötterung - idolisation&lt;br /&gt;
Huldigung - homage&lt;br /&gt;
Bevorzugung	preference - given to someone or something&lt;br /&gt;
Kniefall - prostration&lt;br /&gt;
Gläubigkeit - unquestioning faith/devoutness&lt;br /&gt;
Verzückung - ecstasy/rapture&lt;br /&gt;
Verherrlichung - glorification&lt;br /&gt;
Vergötzung - making someone/something a god&lt;br /&gt;
Verklärung - apotheosis&lt;br /&gt;
Fanatismus - fanaticism&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and in regards to “Anbetung” (worship) the present day meaning and interpretation have the following negative qualities:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
deutsch - English&lt;br /&gt;
Anflehung - supplication, the act of pleading/imploring to someone&lt;br /&gt;
Erbettelung - begging&lt;br /&gt;
Erflehung - craving&lt;br /&gt;
Erheischung - demanding&lt;br /&gt;
Beschwörung - incantation/invocation&lt;br /&gt;
Begehrung - the desire for something/someone&lt;br /&gt;
Demütigkeit - humbleness/submissiveness&lt;br /&gt;
Selbstaufgabe - the surrendering of one&#039;s self/personality&lt;br /&gt;
Selbsterniedrigung - self-abasement&lt;br /&gt;
Ansuchung - request&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Long ago the term “Verehrung” as it is used in the “OM”, had a completely different meaning, namely in the sense of:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
deutsch - English&lt;br /&gt;
Ehrerweisung - honour&lt;br /&gt;
Anerkennung - acknowledgement,recognition,honouring, praising&lt;br /&gt;
Hochachtung - great respect/high esteem&lt;br /&gt;
Hochschätzung - high regard&lt;br /&gt;
Würdeerweisung - to show dignity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and concerning the term “Anbetung” as mentioned in the “OM” its meaning in the old days was:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
deutsch - English&lt;br /&gt;
Billigung(Anerkennung) - approval&lt;br /&gt;
Würdigung - appraisal/appreciation&lt;br /&gt;
Achtungserweisung - show respect&lt;br /&gt;
Wertschätzung - esteem/appreciation&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The old terms, words and their interpretations in regards to “Verehrung” and “Anbetung” as they are presented in the ”OM” represent a very high value in regards to the significance, greatness and respect for the Creation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to these high values are the negative qualities of the present day, namely viewed according to the understanding of the language, the values of the words as well as their interpretation by the Teaching of Truth, the Teaching of Spirit, the Teaching of Life presented anew and for the last time.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Thoughts about the Sentence: I Always Remain Relaxed ...&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I Always Remain Relaxed and Thereby Gain Might over Myself”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some time ago, I studied in Billy’s book, ”Meditation aus klarer Sicht“ (free translation ”Meditation from Clear Visibility”, in German only), the 77 sentences in the chapter ”Meditative Grundlage zur positiven Bewusstseinshaltung” (Meditative Basis for a Positive Attitude of Consciousness), in order to jot down a few that would be quite appropriate for my short meditations. I read them through, point by point, and noted the ones most appropriate for me at the time – each on a small slip of paper. Even if my genes are still far from being inseminated with this valuable ability, the meaning of the sentences is in principle clear to me. Once I finished jotting them down and checked them over again, my thoughts got stuck at point 73. That sentence reads as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stets bleibe ich entspannt und gewinne dadurch Macht über mich selbst.&lt;br /&gt;
I always remain relaxed and thereby gain might over myself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When first reading this, it is naturally clear what it means – at least we think so. But is that really true? All sentences deserve to be thought over intensively, but this one most certainly does. To begin with, every single one of the 77 sentences – or the ones you have chosen – should be adopted exactly as Billy recorded it (in German), in order for you to assimilate the code. This code takes effect, as soon as the sentences are read or heard. It affects everything in the human being that functions impulsively – therefore all cells and consequently the genes as well. All cells and in fact everything in the universe is built on impulses or impulsations (= something goes in and something develops). Once we have assimilated the sentences, as they are written in “Meditation aus klarer Sicht”, we of course must intensively think about what has been said and heard, since that is the only way for us to activate our thoughts and feelings, which in turn send out impulses or impulsations, which have an effect on our entire body and impulsively influence all genes, thus altering them accordingly. Whatever and however we think, feel and act determines impulsively the function of our genes – which is also passed on to our eventual offspring.&lt;br /&gt;
For the consciousness to benefit, it is therefore necessary to think about it, over and over again, because a single string of thought is definitely not enough. Depending on our evolutionary level or evolutionary plane, this is a life-long process of learning and changing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sentence no. 73 contains two parts – in principle even three, if we separate &#039;my&#039; and &#039;self&#039;, which we do not want to do though – namely:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I always remain relaxed&lt;br /&gt;
and thereby gain might over myself,&lt;br /&gt;
and nevertheless they still belong together, since the second part is the effective result of the first part.&lt;br /&gt;
Let’s take a look at both parts in somewhat greater detail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First part reads: “I always remain relaxed”&lt;br /&gt;
That we should be relaxed, is instinctively clear to us, because all of us notice how the body aches and/or how thoughts and feelings are blocked, when we are not relaxed, but I began to wonder why we gain might over ourselves in this way. What exactly does that mean? Does it also mean that whenever we are not relaxed, but are tense, we have no might over ourselves? It must, right?&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes, it is helpful to find synonyms for certain terms and note their possible effects on the body and mental-block or consciousness, thoughts, feelings and psyche (psyche = mental state of being), in order to get an even better picture. Let’s begin with the adjectives &#039;tense&#039; and &#039;relaxed&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
﻿Adjective: tense	&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Possible Synonyms: emphatic, insistent, intensive, strained, exhausting, burdened, pressing, inflexible, stressed, unrested greedy, impatient, prejudiced, constrained, absorbed, gripping, restless, unbalanced, disharmonious …	&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Possible Effects:&lt;br /&gt;
– Perception of intuition and inspirations of the subconsciousness and the unconscious-forms is not possible.&lt;br /&gt;
– Indignant reactions, irritability&lt;br /&gt;
– Blocked thoughts and feelings&lt;br /&gt;
– Psychic strain, stress symptoms&lt;br /&gt;
– Physical diseases&lt;br /&gt;
– No appropriate thinking performance regarding unknown questions/statements of another person&lt;br /&gt;
– Excitement&lt;br /&gt;
– Intolerance, partiality&lt;br /&gt;
– etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Adjective: relaxed	&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Possible Synonyms: relieved, free, slack, unattached, unburdened, pleasant, flexible, unrestrained, rested, unprejudiced unconstrained, patient, perceptive, calm, balanced, harmonious ...	&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Possible Effects:&lt;br /&gt;
– Perception of intuition and inspirations of the subconsciousness and the unconscious-forms&lt;br /&gt;
– Thoughts and feelings under one’s own control&lt;br /&gt;
– Physical and psychic health&lt;br /&gt;
– Composure&lt;br /&gt;
– Able to react and think at any time&lt;br /&gt;
– Tolerance, impartiality&lt;br /&gt;
– etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps you are now thinking that a few synonyms are a bit far-fetched, but it is always good to think everything through and to also choose words which sound less pleasant than &#039;strained&#039;. To point out our weaknesses creates at best the motivation to want to weed them out and change them to the contrary. Create a mental picture of situations, in which you were tense and how this manifested itself. In doing this, it is also important to know, who effectively wielded the might over you – the situation or you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here are a few negative examples:&lt;br /&gt;
You are seething with anger for some reason or another. Through the anger, your thoughts and feelings are in a state of turmoil and are &#039;dancing&#039; in a consciousness-form, which has more to do with vengeance, offensiveness and retaliation than with harmony, equanimity and love. Everything that comes out of your mouth or that you put down on paper in such a moment reflects your state. The anger has you under control. If you were to read or hear it later, shame would probably arise – or most certainly should.&lt;br /&gt;
Or you are in a hurry to get to work, however you cannot manage to do one thing after another in a composed manner, but rush about and even drop something while doing so, pack all your bits and pieces together – and off you go. Once you arrive at work, you notice that you have forgotten your entry-badge. Now you remember that the jacket you wore the day before had flashed across your mind, but you paid it no heed and even pressed yourself on to get away. The whole point is, your badge was namely in that jacket. An inspiration was about to arise to draw your attention to this, since your unconscious-forms continue to work, even if you are inattentive. In general, inspirations of the subconsciousness are not perceived consciously, even not in a rudimentary form. They get &#039;stuck&#039; in the unconscious of the consciousness or the unconscious of the memory – or wherever the information is hidden – because we are constantly absorbed in thought with something (unnecessary). There are still dozens of examples that could be listed here, but I’ll leave that up to you and your own fantasy and powers of recollection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to balance things out though, here are two positive examples:&lt;br /&gt;
You have to go to a meeting (conference) that you were unable to prepare for. Instead of becoming tense with anxiety, because you do not want to expose yourself, you go there and completely relaxed you listen to what the others have to say and ask. Because of your relaxed state, you have the situation fully under control and things occur to you that you otherwise would never have thought of. Due to your composure and relaxed nature, you were sensitive to non-physical fine-structured substance, which is absolutely necessary to perceive inspirations of the subconsciousness or values from the unconscious-forms in the consciousness – and it is also helpful when accessing the memory. You are certainly very familiar with this, because the strongest notions often come to mind while musing in the bathtub or while taking a leisurely stroll. Also &#039;forgotten&#039; names occur to us again, when we let go and discontinue our active search for them. When I was about 10 years old, we had to be vaccinated against polio (infantile paralysis) in primary school. That meant getting a shot in the back. All the ones, who came before me, were terribly frightened and those who were already vaccinated were complaining about the pain. I thought if I make myself completely loose and think about something altogether different, I won’t feel a thing. And that’s exactly how it was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We know instinctively that to be tense or under stress or in a rush has negative effects on us and for us and that because of this we cannot react the way we should or actually want to – which is namely with composure and in a creational sense for the respective situation. Only when we remain in the “calm centre” and are not constantly engaged in thought somewhere, are we balanced, open and perceptive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second part reads: “… and thereby gain might over myself (= me self)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What does it actually mean to gain &#039;might over oneself&#039;? What or who is the &#039;me&#039; and what is the &#039;self&#039;? What (factors) of the human being belongs to the self? What do we mean, when we say: “It was I myself (= me self)?” Is &#039;me&#039; and self the same as the self or the ego? Or is it the personality? Or is it both? Is it a good definition of yourself, when you draw up a curriculum vitae (CV), in which you write, what your name is, when and where you were born, what marital status you have, whether or not you have children, how good you were at work and what type of education and occupational experience you have and what extra-professional activities and sport activities you enjoy? I have searched in many books for the term, &#039;self&#039;, such as e.g. in John C. Eccles’ book, “How the Self Controls Its Brain”. The expression, &#039;self&#039;, can be found there loads of times, but he is unable to really say what is meant by this. It’s just the same with other scientists who dare to attempt a description of the human brain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before we consult the Spiritual Teaching for advice, I will tell you, in brief, what the lexicon has to say about the self. Since I personally do not own an English psychological lexicon, I will quote a passage from the Spiritual Teaching, namely from Spirit-Lesson no. 144, chapter, “Source of Dreams, Consciousness-Conscious/Subconsciousness-Unconscious/Subconscious-Forms”. Billy inserted a lexicon-definition there about the self. I won’t copy it all—it would be far too long—only the first few lines:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Self, a hypothetical construct used in modern psychology in different meanings; the self in this sense does not describe a psychological authority but is an expression of the fact, that the subject itself becomes conscious of itself and at the same time the object of itself, and hence it is also an expression for the continuity of the personality. The term is 1) a name for the system of the conscious and unconscious knowledge of a person about who he believes he is, with respect to the areas of his own body (body-self), or his own actions (action-self), relations (relation-self) and value systems (…) – 2) a name for the coordinated control of these knowledge-processes, also often called &#039;ego&#039; (as by Sigmund FREUD), etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You notice here again, this is but &#039;beating around the bush&#039; without really explaining anything. The self is obviously a hypothetical construct. Translated into normal language, this means: the self is a constructive idea used to help describe things or characteristics, which are not concretely observable, but merely inferable from what is observed.&lt;br /&gt;
The self is certainly not an organ, just as the &#039;I&#039;/Ego is not; instead, certain impulses/impulsations in a specific frequency range define the self and the &#039;I&#039;/Ego as well as the other consciousness-block-programs/-processes, otherwise it would be impossible for the overall-consciousness-block to build these in the death-life for the consciousness-block. Furthermore, organs are also &#039;only&#039; made of impulses, simply in a more compact form.&lt;br /&gt;
In the book, “Wiedergeburt, Leben, Sterben, Tod und Trauer” (“Reincarnation, Life, Dying, Death and Mourning”, in German only, FIGU Wassermannzeit-Verlag, CH-8495 Schmidrüti), from page 146 to 148, under the title, “Beschaffenheit des Bewusstseins, der Persönlichkeit und des Ich resp. Ego” (“Structure of the Consciousness, the Personality and the &#039;I&#039; or Ego”), – or in the corresponding Spirit-Lesson – there is a lengthier discourse from which I intend to quote only a few sentences. I recommend though that you read the entire chapter or – better yet – the entire book again. Billy writes there:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
”The consciousness is equivalent to the personality in which the &#039;I&#039; or Ego is equally imbedded. Consciousness and personality are one, whereby a separating however is to be made in a way that the consciousness in itself and as the first part must be regarded as the factor that builds the block comprising the overall content, in which all idea-related, thought- related, psychic, emotional, spiritual- and feeling-related effects are lived through (= experienced)…&lt;br /&gt;
If a unity of consciousness is given, whose content is considered by the consciousness-carrier as its own, it then being conscious of itself and according to its particular nature and its value becomes self-consciousness. ...&lt;br /&gt;
As the second part of the consciousness, the personality-factor comes into play, which emerges from the self-conscious-state of the consciousness. In other words, this term means the quality of being a person in the sense that the human being himself or herself is conscious, that he or she is precisely the one who he or she in fact is and who lived shortly before the present or in past times in this or that state, etc. and is now living into the future which he or she consciously forms according to his or her will. …&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;I&#039; or Ego, which is imbedded in the personality and therefore also in the consciousness, means &#039;my-being-here&#039; or &#039;my existence&#039; or the &#039;I am&#039;. …&lt;br /&gt;
The nature of the &#039;I&#039; or Ego is to receive and assimilate the &#039;influences&#039; that infiltrate it through the unconscious preceding it, which is also called the pre-conscious. …&lt;br /&gt;
The consciousness itself provides the &#039;I&#039;/Ego with guidelines, whereby it is practically only an executor of the consciousness or a fulfiller of the consciousness. …&lt;br /&gt;
Effectively, the consciousness centre (= central processor of the consciousness) is the actual basis and cause of the &#039;I&#039;/Ego-consciousness or the central &#039;I&#039;/Ego, that’s why it is also called the &#039;higher-&#039;I&#039;/Ego&#039; or the &#039;higher-self&#039;.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We cannot read this often enough in order to understand and grasp as far as we can what has been said. It is often forgotten that the consciousness is the pivotal factor of power for growth and evolution, even when the kick/impetus for this comes from the unconsciousness as an inspiration. The material consciousness, thoughts, feelings, psyche, self/ego, personality, character, memory of the consciousness, subconsciousness and memory of the subconsciousness are indeed individual programmes/processes, but they are imbedded in the consciousness-block, which is why everything in principle is a unity and cannot really be separated from each other. Everything is methodically arranged in an interactive system – just like a computer with its operating system and the diverse programmes/processes and connected devices. For example, without the operating system Windows, the Microsoft Office products do not really function; they are interdependent. The operating system is the software of a computer which is what enables, operates, controls and monitors the work with the data processor in the first place through the definition of logical devices, data structures (files) and programmes/processes. So there must definitely be an operating system available, so the hardware can be used for any applications/programmes. It’s also that way in our brain and our body. The mental-block, which together with the consciousness harbours and nurtures our thoughts and feelings and thereby forms the psyche, has an influence on action (= become active, affect, operate, behave, etc.) as well as on the individuality-block, to which the ego/&#039;I&#039;, the personality, the character and the memory belong, while on the other hand all these factors are form-giving in turn to the actions, thoughts and feelings, and the psyche. And all of this naturally influences each and every cell of the body as well as the cells of the organs, and these eventually affect the psyche again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everything rotates helically (in the form of a spiral); one thing gives rise to another and they continue to form each other reciprocally, and everything is made possible, directed, controlled and watched by the consciousness – and the cosmic-electromagnetic life-energy is the life-substance that animates the body via the spirit-form and the spirit-web. (A programme is comparable to a process, meaning a concrete series of single steps, which function according to specific rules. To become active, a process/programme needs a processor. The operating system manages – among many other functions – the execution of processes, and in the CPU [= Central Processing Unit; for the PC e.g. Pentium], the central processor of a computer, the processes are executed in multi-tasking mode. More information in the Internet.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Destination of the human-consciousness-evolution is to harmonize the external and internal self with the human’s relatively highest possible level of the innermost, creative self (spirit-form).&lt;br /&gt;
Our individual evolutionary level is of course decisive, depending on whether or not our predecessor-personalities – and now we for the ones who come after us – recognised their responsibility and evolutionised in consciousness as far as possible in a creational sense. If not, our inner self is not congeneric (like-natured) with the innermost self or in other words with the knowledge, love and wisdom impulses of Creation, which flow via our spirit-form into our subconsciousness and on into our consciousness, where we – upon seizing them after they have passed through the censor – continue to work with them in our thoughts and feelings and to direct our inner according to them – at best.&lt;br /&gt;
Everywhere, there is talk about self-realisation. It then – out of the blue – no longer seems to be a hypothetical construct. For the vast majority of humanity, this undoubtedly means having the right to think and behave as one pleases and without having to care for others or for the creational laws. A few examples of this include loud-hearing of disharmonic music, feet on the seat in the train and tram, consuming drugs, having wild parties, displaying anger, picking fights, obscene language, venting emotions like jealousy and hate, etc., and so on and so forth. In doing so, these human beings are even supported by a number of psychologists, since it apparently is supposed to be healthy to scream out the anger and rage. For these human beings, the only options are to scream it out or to swallow it. To pull themselves together, be equanimous and not get angry at all, is apparently not up for discussion. We know of course that the above-mentioned behavioural patterns at most have something to do with indecency and a lack of self-control, but there is no trace of self-realisation. If we want to find self-realization/self-fulfilment, we must first get to know ourselves and therefore practice self-knowledge. Prize question: Where, in your opinion, can self-knowledge be found?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after the beginning of the second part “…and thereby gain might over myself”, I mentioned a &#039;curriculum vitae&#039;. I don’t know at this moment, whether you have ever wondered if what we have done or do in general also appropriately defines us, regardless of how elaborately we describe our achievements and favourite pastimes. This is certainly not the case. First of all, we never tell everything – especially not the bad things – and besides, it is only a description of our material-intellectual achievements and at best of our physical fitness. There are still so many unknown sides in us – which make themselves felt occasionally – that we are often taken by surprise.From the Teaching of Spirit, the Teaching of Life and the Teaching of Truth we know that the essence of all the relative knowledge and ability of our predecessor-personalities is stored in the memory of our subconsciousness. Do you think that to know this essence or at least to grasp an inkling of it would advance us in consciousness and contribute something to our self-knowledge – hence to the knowledge about ourselves and who we are? If that’s how you think, then you’re right. In the Spiritual Teaching, Spirit-Lesson no. 144, on page 1777, Billy writes the following:&lt;br /&gt;
“…The powers of the unconscious-forms are connected with the powers of the subconsciousness, and the subconsciousness releases its stored knowledge to the consciousness, which then through its own powers translates the received impulses, information, data, ideas, explanations and so forth and so on into action, life and activity. This also applies to self-knowledge, which is stored in the subconsciousness and is released to the consciousness, when the comprehensive block composed of the consciousness, subconsciousness and unconscious forms is fully functional. However, as long as the human being knows nothing of the content of his subconsciousness, he will continue to lack self-knowledge, because the requisite facts for this are only contained therein and must be released from there by the consciousness. If that does not happen, then no self-knowledge can arise and with it no self-realisation, albeit this very factor is among the fundamental needs for each and every human being. …&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In truth this ’mirror of the soul’ refers to the subconsciousness (= unconscious of the subconsciousness and the subconsciousness-forms in the memory of the subconsciousness; annotation) in which the subconscious contents of all senses, norms and value-definitions are stored, as well as the values of the conscience, the facts of inclinations and feelings, of emotions, intentions, wishes, expectations and attitudes as well as of the individual characteristics and so on and so forth, which after all are the personality or the consciousness itself. When these factors are brought out consciously or unconsciously or through dreams, then they help to acquire a deeper self-knowledge and self-realisation in harmony with the real self. Here real self means that the human being is conscious/aware of himself or herself and his or her personality, particularly in all things pertaining to the individual (= mental-block, individuality-block and subconsciousness-block; annotation) and to all other values, through which the essential core or the inner original source of the person is expressed, hence the real nature of the personality in all of its hidden and open individualities, significances, characters, relations, forms and so forth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next step is therefore: “How do I use my subconsciousness to become better acquainted with myself and to evolutionise my inner self and feelings in a creational sense through conscious reflection and bring the external in line with the internal?” To achieve this, Billy’s Spiritual Teaching (e.g. in Spirit-Lesson no. 159) and the book “Meditation aus klarer Sicht” is the most comprehensive source of help. Meditation is absolutely essential. You now only have to build up the motivation and the will to also carry it through. Because as Billy repeatedly says: “Vo nüüt chunt nüüt.” (From nothing comes nothing.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When you now reread the sentence “I always remain relaxed and thereby gain might over myself”, it has a completely different meaning, doesn’t it? The self is something fully comprehensive. Not only the entire mental-block (material-consciousness, thoughts, feelings and psyche), the individuality-block (ego/&#039;I&#039;, personality, character and memory), the subconsciousness-block (material subconsciousness including the memory) and the respective unconscious-forms belong to it, but the self extends into our very cells. It is therefore not just a theoretical construct, but a &#039;human-being-energy-impulsation-power&#039;, set up by Creation.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Thoughts about the Sentence: I Always Remain Relaxed ...&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I Always Remain Relaxed and Thereby Gain Might over Myself”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some time ago, I studied in Billy’s book, ”Meditation aus klarer Sicht“ (free translation ”Meditation from Clear Visibility”, in German only), the 77 sentences in the chapter ”Meditative Grundlage zur positiven Bewusstseinshaltung” (Meditative Basis for a Positive Attitude of Consciousness), in order to jot down a few that would be quite appropriate for my short meditations. I read them through, point by point, and noted the ones most appropriate for me at the time – each on a small slip of paper. Even if my genes are still far from being inseminated with this valuable ability, the meaning of the sentences is in principle clear to me. Once I finished jotting them down and checked them over again, my thoughts got stuck at point 73. That sentence reads as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stets bleibe ich entspannt und gewinne dadurch Macht über mich selbst.&lt;br /&gt;
I always remain relaxed and thereby gain might over myself.&lt;br /&gt;
When first reading this, it is naturally clear what it means – at least we think so. But is that really true? All sentences deserve to be thought over intensively, but this one most certainly does. To begin with, every single one of the 77 sentences – or the ones you have chosen – should be adopted exactly as Billy recorded it (in German), in order for you to assimilate the code. This code takes effect, as soon as the sentences are read or heard. It affects everything in the human being that functions impulsively – therefore all cells and consequently the genes as well. All cells and in fact everything in the universe is built on impulses or impulsations (= something goes in and something develops). Once we have assimilated the sentences, as they are written in “Meditation aus klarer Sicht”, we of course must intensively think about what has been said and heard, since that is the only way for us to activate our thoughts and feelings, which in turn send out impulses or impulsations, which have an effect on our entire body and impulsively influence all genes, thus altering them accordingly. Whatever and however we think, feel and act determines impulsively the function of our genes – which is also passed on to our eventual offspring.&lt;br /&gt;
For the consciousness to benefit, it is therefore necessary to think about it, over and over again, because a single string of thought is definitely not enough. Depending on our evolutionary level or evolutionary plane, this is a life-long process of learning and changing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sentence no. 73 contains two parts – in principle even three, if we separate &#039;my&#039; and &#039;self&#039;, which we do not want to do though – namely:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I always remain relaxed&lt;br /&gt;
and thereby gain might over myself,&lt;br /&gt;
and nevertheless they still belong together, since the second part is the effective result of the first part.&lt;br /&gt;
Let’s take a look at both parts in somewhat greater detail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First part reads: “I always remain relaxed”&lt;br /&gt;
That we should be relaxed, is instinctively clear to us, because all of us notice how the body aches and/or how thoughts and feelings are blocked, when we are not relaxed, but I began to wonder why we gain might over ourselves in this way. What exactly does that mean? Does it also mean that whenever we are not relaxed, but are tense, we have no might over ourselves? It must, right?&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes, it is helpful to find synonyms for certain terms and note their possible effects on the body and mental-block or consciousness, thoughts, feelings and psyche (psyche = mental state of being), in order to get an even better picture. Let’s begin with the adjectives &#039;tense&#039; and &#039;relaxed&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
﻿Adjective: tense	&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Possible Synonyms: emphatic, insistent, intensive, strained, exhausting, burdened, pressing, inflexible, stressed, unrested greedy, impatient, prejudiced, constrained, absorbed, gripping, restless, unbalanced, disharmonious …	&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Possible Effects:&lt;br /&gt;
– Perception of intuition and inspirations of the subconsciousness and the unconscious-forms is not possible.&lt;br /&gt;
– Indignant reactions, irritability&lt;br /&gt;
– Blocked thoughts and feelings&lt;br /&gt;
– Psychic strain, stress symptoms&lt;br /&gt;
– Physical diseases&lt;br /&gt;
– No appropriate thinking performance regarding unknown questions/statements of another person&lt;br /&gt;
– Excitement&lt;br /&gt;
– Intolerance, partiality&lt;br /&gt;
– etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Adjective: relaxed	&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Possible Synonyms: relieved, free, slack, unattached, unburdened, pleasant, flexible, unrestrained, rested, unprejudiced unconstrained, patient, perceptive, calm, balanced, harmonious ...	&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Possible Effects:&lt;br /&gt;
– Perception of intuition and inspirations of the subconsciousness and the unconscious-forms&lt;br /&gt;
– Thoughts and feelings under one’s own control&lt;br /&gt;
– Physical and psychic health&lt;br /&gt;
– Composure&lt;br /&gt;
– Able to react and think at any time&lt;br /&gt;
– Tolerance, impartiality&lt;br /&gt;
– etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps you are now thinking that a few synonyms are a bit far-fetched, but it is always good to think everything through and to also choose words which sound less pleasant than &#039;strained&#039;. To point out our weaknesses creates at best the motivation to want to weed them out and change them to the contrary. Create a mental picture of situations, in which you were tense and how this manifested itself. In doing this, it is also important to know, who effectively wielded the might over you – the situation or you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here are a few negative examples:&lt;br /&gt;
You are seething with anger for some reason or another. Through the anger, your thoughts and feelings are in a state of turmoil and are &#039;dancing&#039; in a consciousness-form, which has more to do with vengeance, offensiveness and retaliation than with harmony, equanimity and love. Everything that comes out of your mouth or that you put down on paper in such a moment reflects your state. The anger has you under control. If you were to read or hear it later, shame would probably arise – or most certainly should.&lt;br /&gt;
Or you are in a hurry to get to work, however you cannot manage to do one thing after another in a composed manner, but rush about and even drop something while doing so, pack all your bits and pieces together – and off you go. Once you arrive at work, you notice that you have forgotten your entry-badge. Now you remember that the jacket you wore the day before had flashed across your mind, but you paid it no heed and even pressed yourself on to get away. The whole point is, your badge was namely in that jacket. An inspiration was about to arise to draw your attention to this, since your unconscious-forms continue to work, even if you are inattentive. In general, inspirations of the subconsciousness are not perceived consciously, even not in a rudimentary form. They get &#039;stuck&#039; in the unconscious of the consciousness or the unconscious of the memory – or wherever the information is hidden – because we are constantly absorbed in thought with something (unnecessary). There are still dozens of examples that could be listed here, but I’ll leave that up to you and your own fantasy and powers of recollection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to balance things out though, here are two positive examples:&lt;br /&gt;
You have to go to a meeting (conference) that you were unable to prepare for. Instead of becoming tense with anxiety, because you do not want to expose yourself, you go there and completely relaxed you listen to what the others have to say and ask. Because of your relaxed state, you have the situation fully under control and things occur to you that you otherwise would never have thought of. Due to your composure and relaxed nature, you were sensitive to non-physical fine-structured substance, which is absolutely necessary to perceive inspirations of the subconsciousness or values from the unconscious-forms in the consciousness – and it is also helpful when accessing the memory. You are certainly very familiar with this, because the strongest notions often come to mind while musing in the bathtub or while taking a leisurely stroll. Also &#039;forgotten&#039; names occur to us again, when we let go and discontinue our active search for them. When I was about 10 years old, we had to be vaccinated against polio (infantile paralysis) in primary school. That meant getting a shot in the back. All the ones, who came before me, were terribly frightened and those who were already vaccinated were complaining about the pain. I thought if I make myself completely loose and think about something altogether different, I won’t feel a thing. And that’s exactly how it was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We know instinctively that to be tense or under stress or in a rush has negative effects on us and for us and that because of this we cannot react the way we should or actually want to – which is namely with composure and in a creational sense for the respective situation. Only when we remain in the “calm centre” and are not constantly engaged in thought somewhere, are we balanced, open and perceptive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second part reads: “… and thereby gain might over myself (= me self)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What does it actually mean to gain &#039;might over oneself&#039;? What or who is the &#039;me&#039; and what is the &#039;self&#039;? What (factors) of the human being belongs to the self? What do we mean, when we say: “It was I myself (= me self)?” Is &#039;me&#039; and self the same as the self or the ego? Or is it the personality? Or is it both? Is it a good definition of yourself, when you draw up a curriculum vitae (CV), in which you write, what your name is, when and where you were born, what marital status you have, whether or not you have children, how good you were at work and what type of education and occupational experience you have and what extra-professional activities and sport activities you enjoy? I have searched in many books for the term, &#039;self&#039;, such as e.g. in John C. Eccles’ book, “How the Self Controls Its Brain”. The expression, &#039;self&#039;, can be found there loads of times, but he is unable to really say what is meant by this. It’s just the same with other scientists who dare to attempt a description of the human brain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before we consult the Spiritual Teaching for advice, I will tell you, in brief, what the lexicon has to say about the self. Since I personally do not own an English psychological lexicon, I will quote a passage from the Spiritual Teaching, namely from Spirit-Lesson no. 144, chapter, “Source of Dreams, Consciousness-Conscious/Subconsciousness-Unconscious/Subconscious-Forms”. Billy inserted a lexicon-definition there about the self. I won’t copy it all—it would be far too long—only the first few lines:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Self, a hypothetical construct used in modern psychology in different meanings; the self in this sense does not describe a psychological authority but is an expression of the fact, that the subject itself becomes conscious of itself and at the same time the object of itself, and hence it is also an expression for the continuity of the personality. The term is 1) a name for the system of the conscious and unconscious knowledge of a person about who he believes he is, with respect to the areas of his own body (body-self), or his own actions (action-self), relations (relation-self) and value systems (…) – 2) a name for the coordinated control of these knowledge-processes, also often called &#039;ego&#039; (as by Sigmund FREUD), etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You notice here again, this is but &#039;beating around the bush&#039; without really explaining anything. The self is obviously a hypothetical construct. Translated into normal language, this means: the self is a constructive idea used to help describe things or characteristics, which are not concretely observable, but merely inferable from what is observed.&lt;br /&gt;
The self is certainly not an organ, just as the &#039;I&#039;/Ego is not; instead, certain impulses/impulsations in a specific frequency range define the self and the &#039;I&#039;/Ego as well as the other consciousness-block-programs/-processes, otherwise it would be impossible for the overall-consciousness-block to build these in the death-life for the consciousness-block. Furthermore, organs are also &#039;only&#039; made of impulses, simply in a more compact form.&lt;br /&gt;
In the book, “Wiedergeburt, Leben, Sterben, Tod und Trauer” (“Reincarnation, Life, Dying, Death and Mourning”, in German only, FIGU Wassermannzeit-Verlag, CH-8495 Schmidrüti), from page 146 to 148, under the title, “Beschaffenheit des Bewusstseins, der Persönlichkeit und des Ich resp. Ego” (“Structure of the Consciousness, the Personality and the &#039;I&#039; or Ego”), – or in the corresponding Spirit-Lesson – there is a lengthier discourse from which I intend to quote only a few sentences. I recommend though that you read the entire chapter or – better yet – the entire book again. Billy writes there:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
”The consciousness is equivalent to the personality in which the &#039;I&#039; or Ego is equally imbedded. Consciousness and personality are one, whereby a separating however is to be made in a way that the consciousness in itself and as the first part must be regarded as the factor that builds the block comprising the overall content, in which all idea-related, thought- related, psychic, emotional, spiritual- and feeling-related effects are lived through (= experienced)…&lt;br /&gt;
If a unity of consciousness is given, whose content is considered by the consciousness-carrier as its own, it then being conscious of itself and according to its particular nature and its value becomes self-consciousness. ...&lt;br /&gt;
As the second part of the consciousness, the personality-factor comes into play, which emerges from the self-conscious-state of the consciousness. In other words, this term means the quality of being a person in the sense that the human being himself or herself is conscious, that he or she is precisely the one who he or she in fact is and who lived shortly before the present or in past times in this or that state, etc. and is now living into the future which he or she consciously forms according to his or her will. …&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;I&#039; or Ego, which is imbedded in the personality and therefore also in the consciousness, means &#039;my-being-here&#039; or &#039;my existence&#039; or the &#039;I am&#039;. …&lt;br /&gt;
The nature of the &#039;I&#039; or Ego is to receive and assimilate the &#039;influences&#039; that infiltrate it through the unconscious preceding it, which is also called the pre-conscious. …&lt;br /&gt;
The consciousness itself provides the &#039;I&#039;/Ego with guidelines, whereby it is practically only an executor of the consciousness or a fulfiller of the consciousness. …&lt;br /&gt;
Effectively, the consciousness centre (= central processor of the consciousness) is the actual basis and cause of the &#039;I&#039;/Ego-consciousness or the central &#039;I&#039;/Ego, that’s why it is also called the &#039;higher-&#039;I&#039;/Ego&#039; or the &#039;higher-self&#039;.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We cannot read this often enough in order to understand and grasp as far as we can what has been said. It is often forgotten that the consciousness is the pivotal factor of power for growth and evolution, even when the kick/impetus for this comes from the unconsciousness as an inspiration. The material consciousness, thoughts, feelings, psyche, self/ego, personality, character, memory of the consciousness, subconsciousness and memory of the subconsciousness are indeed individual programmes/processes, but they are imbedded in the consciousness-block, which is why everything in principle is a unity and cannot really be separated from each other. Everything is methodically arranged in an interactive system – just like a computer with its operating system and the diverse programmes/processes and connected devices. For example, without the operating system Windows, the Microsoft Office products do not really function; they are interdependent. The operating system is the software of a computer which is what enables, operates, controls and monitors the work with the data processor in the first place through the definition of logical devices, data structures (files) and programmes/processes. So there must definitely be an operating system available, so the hardware can be used for any applications/programmes. It’s also that way in our brain and our body. The mental-block, which together with the consciousness harbours and nurtures our thoughts and feelings and thereby forms the psyche, has an influence on action (= become active, affect, operate, behave, etc.) as well as on the individuality-block, to which the ego/&#039;I&#039;, the personality, the character and the memory belong, while on the other hand all these factors are form-giving in turn to the actions, thoughts and feelings, and the psyche. And all of this naturally influences each and every cell of the body as well as the cells of the organs, and these eventually affect the psyche again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everything rotates helically (in the form of a spiral); one thing gives rise to another and they continue to form each other reciprocally, and everything is made possible, directed, controlled and watched by the consciousness – and the cosmic-electromagnetic life-energy is the life-substance that animates the body via the spirit-form and the spirit-web. (A programme is comparable to a process, meaning a concrete series of single steps, which function according to specific rules. To become active, a process/programme needs a processor. The operating system manages – among many other functions – the execution of processes, and in the CPU [= Central Processing Unit; for the PC e.g. Pentium], the central processor of a computer, the processes are executed in multi-tasking mode. More information in the Internet.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Destination of the human-consciousness-evolution is to harmonize the external and internal self with the human’s relatively highest possible level of the innermost, creative self (spirit-form).&lt;br /&gt;
Our individual evolutionary level is of course decisive, depending on whether or not our predecessor-personalities – and now we for the ones who come after us – recognised their responsibility and evolutionised in consciousness as far as possible in a creational sense. If not, our inner self is not congeneric (like-natured) with the innermost self or in other words with the knowledge, love and wisdom impulses of Creation, which flow via our spirit-form into our subconsciousness and on into our consciousness, where we – upon seizing them after they have passed through the censor – continue to work with them in our thoughts and feelings and to direct our inner according to them – at best.&lt;br /&gt;
Everywhere, there is talk about self-realisation. It then – out of the blue – no longer seems to be a hypothetical construct. For the vast majority of humanity, this undoubtedly means having the right to think and behave as one pleases and without having to care for others or for the creational laws. A few examples of this include loud-hearing of disharmonic music, feet on the seat in the train and tram, consuming drugs, having wild parties, displaying anger, picking fights, obscene language, venting emotions like jealousy and hate, etc., and so on and so forth. In doing so, these human beings are even supported by a number of psychologists, since it apparently is supposed to be healthy to scream out the anger and rage. For these human beings, the only options are to scream it out or to swallow it. To pull themselves together, be equanimous and not get angry at all, is apparently not up for discussion. We know of course that the above-mentioned behavioural patterns at most have something to do with indecency and a lack of self-control, but there is no trace of self-realisation. If we want to find self-realization/self-fulfilment, we must first get to know ourselves and therefore practice self-knowledge. Prize question: Where, in your opinion, can self-knowledge be found?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after the beginning of the second part “…and thereby gain might over myself”, I mentioned a &#039;curriculum vitae&#039;. I don’t know at this moment, whether you have ever wondered if what we have done or do in general also appropriately defines us, regardless of how elaborately we describe our achievements and favourite pastimes. This is certainly not the case. First of all, we never tell everything – especially not the bad things – and besides, it is only a description of our material-intellectual achievements and at best of our physical fitness. There are still so many unknown sides in us – which make themselves felt occasionally – that we are often taken by surprise.From the Teaching of Spirit, the Teaching of Life and the Teaching of Truth we know that the essence of all the relative knowledge and ability of our predecessor-personalities is stored in the memory of our subconsciousness. Do you think that to know this essence or at least to grasp an inkling of it would advance us in consciousness and contribute something to our self-knowledge – hence to the knowledge about ourselves and who we are? If that’s how you think, then you’re right. In the Spiritual Teaching, Spirit-Lesson no. 144, on page 1777, Billy writes the following:&lt;br /&gt;
“…The powers of the unconscious-forms are connected with the powers of the subconsciousness, and the subconsciousness releases its stored knowledge to the consciousness, which then through its own powers translates the received impulses, information, data, ideas, explanations and so forth and so on into action, life and activity. This also applies to self-knowledge, which is stored in the subconsciousness and is released to the consciousness, when the comprehensive block composed of the consciousness, subconsciousness and unconscious forms is fully functional. However, as long as the human being knows nothing of the content of his subconsciousness, he will continue to lack self-knowledge, because the requisite facts for this are only contained therein and must be released from there by the consciousness. If that does not happen, then no self-knowledge can arise and with it no self-realisation, albeit this very factor is among the fundamental needs for each and every human being. …&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In truth this ’mirror of the soul’ refers to the subconsciousness (= unconscious of the subconsciousness and the subconsciousness-forms in the memory of the subconsciousness; annotation) in which the subconscious contents of all senses, norms and value-definitions are stored, as well as the values of the conscience, the facts of inclinations and feelings, of emotions, intentions, wishes, expectations and attitudes as well as of the individual characteristics and so on and so forth, which after all are the personality or the consciousness itself. When these factors are brought out consciously or unconsciously or through dreams, then they help to acquire a deeper self-knowledge and self-realisation in harmony with the real self. Here real self means that the human being is conscious/aware of himself or herself and his or her personality, particularly in all things pertaining to the individual (= mental-block, individuality-block and subconsciousness-block; annotation) and to all other values, through which the essential core or the inner original source of the person is expressed, hence the real nature of the personality in all of its hidden and open individualities, significances, characters, relations, forms and so forth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next step is therefore: “How do I use my subconsciousness to become better acquainted with myself and to evolutionise my inner self and feelings in a creational sense through conscious reflection and bring the external in line with the internal?” To achieve this, Billy’s Spiritual Teaching (e.g. in Spirit-Lesson no. 159) and the book “Meditation aus klarer Sicht” is the most comprehensive source of help. Meditation is absolutely essential. You now only have to build up the motivation and the will to also carry it through. Because as Billy repeatedly says: “Vo nüüt chunt nüüt.” (From nothing comes nothing.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When you now reread the sentence “I always remain relaxed and thereby gain might over myself”, it has a completely different meaning, doesn’t it? The self is something fully comprehensive. Not only the entire mental-block (material-consciousness, thoughts, feelings and psyche), the individuality-block (ego/&#039;I&#039;, personality, character and memory), the subconsciousness-block (material subconsciousness including the memory) and the respective unconscious-forms belong to it, but the self extends into our very cells. It is therefore not just a theoretical construct, but a &#039;human-being-energy-impulsation-power&#039;, set up by Creation.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Thoughts about the Sentence: I Always Remain Relaxed ...&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I Always Remain Relaxed and Thereby Gain Might over Myself”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some time ago, I studied in Billy’s book, ”Meditation aus klarer Sicht“ (free translation ”Meditation from Clear Visibility”, in German only), the 77 sentences in the chapter ”Meditative Grundlage zur positiven Bewusstseinshaltung” (Meditative Basis for a Positive Attitude of Consciousness), in order to jot down a few that would be quite appropriate for my short meditations. I read them through, point by point, and noted the ones most appropriate for me at the time – each on a small slip of paper. Even if my genes are still far from being inseminated with this valuable ability, the meaning of the sentences is in principle clear to me. Once I finished jotting them down and checked them over again, my thoughts got stuck at point 73. That sentence reads as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stets bleibe ich entspannt und gewinne dadurch Macht über mich selbst.&lt;br /&gt;
I always remain relaxed and thereby gain might over myself.&lt;br /&gt;
When first reading this, it is naturally clear what it means – at least we think so. But is that really true? All sentences deserve to be thought over intensively, but this one most certainly does. To begin with, every single one of the 77 sentences – or the ones you have chosen – should be adopted exactly as Billy recorded it (in German), in order for you to assimilate the code. This code takes effect, as soon as the sentences are read or heard. It affects everything in the human being that functions impulsively – therefore all cells and consequently the genes as well. All cells and in fact everything in the universe is built on impulses or impulsations (= something goes in and something develops). Once we have assimilated the sentences, as they are written in “Meditation aus klarer Sicht”, we of course must intensively think about what has been said and heard, since that is the only way for us to activate our thoughts and feelings, which in turn send out impulses or impulsations, which have an effect on our entire body and impulsively influence all genes, thus altering them accordingly. Whatever and however we think, feel and act determines impulsively the function of our genes – which is also passed on to our eventual offspring.&lt;br /&gt;
For the consciousness to benefit, it is therefore necessary to think about it, over and over again, because a single string of thought is definitely not enough. Depending on our evolutionary level or evolutionary plane, this is a life-long process of learning and changing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sentence no. 73 contains two parts – in principle even three, if we separate &#039;my&#039; and &#039;self&#039;, which we do not want to do though – namely:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I always remain relaxed&lt;br /&gt;
and thereby gain might over myself,&lt;br /&gt;
and nevertheless they still belong together, since the second part is the effective result of the first part.&lt;br /&gt;
Let’s take a look at both parts in somewhat greater detail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First part reads: “I always remain relaxed”&lt;br /&gt;
That we should be relaxed, is instinctively clear to us, because all of us notice how the body aches and/or how thoughts and feelings are blocked, when we are not relaxed, but I began to wonder why we gain might over ourselves in this way. What exactly does that mean? Does it also mean that whenever we are not relaxed, but are tense, we have no might over ourselves? It must, right?&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes, it is helpful to find synonyms for certain terms and note their possible effects on the body and mental-block or consciousness, thoughts, feelings and psyche (psyche = mental state of being), in order to get an even better picture. Let’s begin with the adjectives &#039;tense&#039; and &#039;relaxed&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
﻿Adjective&lt;br /&gt;
tense	&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Possible Synonyms&lt;br /&gt;
emphatic, insistent, intensive, strained, exhausting, burdened, pressing, inflexible, stressed, unrested greedy, impatient, prejudiced, constrained, absorbed, gripping, restless, unbalanced, disharmonious …	&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Possible Effects&lt;br /&gt;
– Perception of intuition and inspirations of the subconsciousness and the unconscious-forms is not possible.&lt;br /&gt;
– Indignant reactions, irritability&lt;br /&gt;
– Blocked thoughts and feelings&lt;br /&gt;
– Psychic strain, stress symptoms&lt;br /&gt;
– Physical diseases&lt;br /&gt;
– No appropriate thinking performance regarding unknown questions/statements of another person&lt;br /&gt;
– Excitement&lt;br /&gt;
– Intolerance, partiality&lt;br /&gt;
– etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Adjective&lt;br /&gt;
relaxed	&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Possible Synonyms&lt;br /&gt;
relieved, free, slack, unattached, unburdened, pleasant, flexible, unrestrained, rested, unprejudiced unconstrained, patient, perceptive, calm, balanced, harmonious ...	&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Possible Effects&lt;br /&gt;
– Perception of intuition and inspirations of the subconsciousness and the unconscious-forms&lt;br /&gt;
– Thoughts and feelings under one’s own control&lt;br /&gt;
– Physical and psychic health&lt;br /&gt;
– Composure&lt;br /&gt;
– Able to react and think at any time&lt;br /&gt;
– Tolerance, impartiality&lt;br /&gt;
– etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps you are now thinking that a few synonyms are a bit far-fetched, but it is always good to think everything through and to also choose words which sound less pleasant than &#039;strained&#039;. To point out our weaknesses creates at best the motivation to want to weed them out and change them to the contrary. Create a mental picture of situations, in which you were tense and how this manifested itself. In doing this, it is also important to know, who effectively wielded the might over you – the situation or you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here are a few negative examples:&lt;br /&gt;
You are seething with anger for some reason or another. Through the anger, your thoughts and feelings are in a state of turmoil and are &#039;dancing&#039; in a consciousness-form, which has more to do with vengeance, offensiveness and retaliation than with harmony, equanimity and love. Everything that comes out of your mouth or that you put down on paper in such a moment reflects your state. The anger has you under control. If you were to read or hear it later, shame would probably arise – or most certainly should.&lt;br /&gt;
Or you are in a hurry to get to work, however you cannot manage to do one thing after another in a composed manner, but rush about and even drop something while doing so, pack all your bits and pieces together – and off you go. Once you arrive at work, you notice that you have forgotten your entry-badge. Now you remember that the jacket you wore the day before had flashed across your mind, but you paid it no heed and even pressed yourself on to get away. The whole point is, your badge was namely in that jacket. An inspiration was about to arise to draw your attention to this, since your unconscious-forms continue to work, even if you are inattentive. In general, inspirations of the subconsciousness are not perceived consciously, even not in a rudimentary form. They get &#039;stuck&#039; in the unconscious of the consciousness or the unconscious of the memory – or wherever the information is hidden – because we are constantly absorbed in thought with something (unnecessary). There are still dozens of examples that could be listed here, but I’ll leave that up to you and your own fantasy and powers of recollection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to balance things out though, here are two positive examples:&lt;br /&gt;
You have to go to a meeting (conference) that you were unable to prepare for. Instead of becoming tense with anxiety, because you do not want to expose yourself, you go there and completely relaxed you listen to what the others have to say and ask. Because of your relaxed state, you have the situation fully under control and things occur to you that you otherwise would never have thought of. Due to your composure and relaxed nature, you were sensitive to non-physical fine-structured substance, which is absolutely necessary to perceive inspirations of the subconsciousness or values from the unconscious-forms in the consciousness – and it is also helpful when accessing the memory. You are certainly very familiar with this, because the strongest notions often come to mind while musing in the bathtub or while taking a leisurely stroll. Also &#039;forgotten&#039; names occur to us again, when we let go and discontinue our active search for them. When I was about 10 years old, we had to be vaccinated against polio (infantile paralysis) in primary school. That meant getting a shot in the back. All the ones, who came before me, were terribly frightened and those who were already vaccinated were complaining about the pain. I thought if I make myself completely loose and think about something altogether different, I won’t feel a thing. And that’s exactly how it was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We know instinctively that to be tense or under stress or in a rush has negative effects on us and for us and that because of this we cannot react the way we should or actually want to – which is namely with composure and in a creational sense for the respective situation. Only when we remain in the “calm centre” and are not constantly engaged in thought somewhere, are we balanced, open and perceptive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second part reads: “… and thereby gain might over myself (= me self)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What does it actually mean to gain &#039;might over oneself&#039;? What or who is the &#039;me&#039; and what is the &#039;self&#039;? What (factors) of the human being belongs to the self? What do we mean, when we say: “It was I myself (= me self)?” Is &#039;me&#039; and self the same as the self or the ego? Or is it the personality? Or is it both? Is it a good definition of yourself, when you draw up a curriculum vitae (CV), in which you write, what your name is, when and where you were born, what marital status you have, whether or not you have children, how good you were at work and what type of education and occupational experience you have and what extra-professional activities and sport activities you enjoy? I have searched in many books for the term, &#039;self&#039;, such as e.g. in John C. Eccles’ book, “How the Self Controls Its Brain”. The expression, &#039;self&#039;, can be found there loads of times, but he is unable to really say what is meant by this. It’s just the same with other scientists who dare to attempt a description of the human brain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before we consult the Spiritual Teaching for advice, I will tell you, in brief, what the lexicon has to say about the self. Since I personally do not own an English psychological lexicon, I will quote a passage from the Spiritual Teaching, namely from Spirit-Lesson no. 144, chapter, “Source of Dreams, Consciousness-Conscious/Subconsciousness-Unconscious/Subconscious-Forms”. Billy inserted a lexicon-definition there about the self. I won’t copy it all—it would be far too long—only the first few lines:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Self, a hypothetical construct used in modern psychology in different meanings; the self in this sense does not describe a psychological authority but is an expression of the fact, that the subject itself becomes conscious of itself and at the same time the object of itself, and hence it is also an expression for the continuity of the personality. The term is 1) a name for the system of the conscious and unconscious knowledge of a person about who he believes he is, with respect to the areas of his own body (body-self), or his own actions (action-self), relations (relation-self) and value systems (…) – 2) a name for the coordinated control of these knowledge-processes, also often called &#039;ego&#039; (as by Sigmund FREUD), etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You notice here again, this is but &#039;beating around the bush&#039; without really explaining anything. The self is obviously a hypothetical construct. Translated into normal language, this means: the self is a constructive idea used to help describe things or characteristics, which are not concretely observable, but merely inferable from what is observed.&lt;br /&gt;
The self is certainly not an organ, just as the &#039;I&#039;/Ego is not; instead, certain impulses/impulsations in a specific frequency range define the self and the &#039;I&#039;/Ego as well as the other consciousness-block-programs/-processes, otherwise it would be impossible for the overall-consciousness-block to build these in the death-life for the consciousness-block. Furthermore, organs are also &#039;only&#039; made of impulses, simply in a more compact form.&lt;br /&gt;
In the book, “Wiedergeburt, Leben, Sterben, Tod und Trauer” (“Reincarnation, Life, Dying, Death and Mourning”, in German only, FIGU Wassermannzeit-Verlag, CH-8495 Schmidrüti), from page 146 to 148, under the title, “Beschaffenheit des Bewusstseins, der Persönlichkeit und des Ich resp. Ego” (“Structure of the Consciousness, the Personality and the &#039;I&#039; or Ego”), – or in the corresponding Spirit-Lesson – there is a lengthier discourse from which I intend to quote only a few sentences. I recommend though that you read the entire chapter or – better yet – the entire book again. Billy writes there:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
”The consciousness is equivalent to the personality in which the &#039;I&#039; or Ego is equally imbedded. Consciousness and personality are one, whereby a separating however is to be made in a way that the consciousness in itself and as the first part must be regarded as the factor that builds the block comprising the overall content, in which all idea-related, thought- related, psychic, emotional, spiritual- and feeling-related effects are lived through (= experienced)…&lt;br /&gt;
If a unity of consciousness is given, whose content is considered by the consciousness-carrier as its own, it then being conscious of itself and according to its particular nature and its value becomes self-consciousness. ...&lt;br /&gt;
As the second part of the consciousness, the personality-factor comes into play, which emerges from the self-conscious-state of the consciousness. In other words, this term means the quality of being a person in the sense that the human being himself or herself is conscious, that he or she is precisely the one who he or she in fact is and who lived shortly before the present or in past times in this or that state, etc. and is now living into the future which he or she consciously forms according to his or her will. …&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;I&#039; or Ego, which is imbedded in the personality and therefore also in the consciousness, means &#039;my-being-here&#039; or &#039;my existence&#039; or the &#039;I am&#039;. …&lt;br /&gt;
The nature of the &#039;I&#039; or Ego is to receive and assimilate the &#039;influences&#039; that infiltrate it through the unconscious preceding it, which is also called the pre-conscious. …&lt;br /&gt;
The consciousness itself provides the &#039;I&#039;/Ego with guidelines, whereby it is practically only an executor of the consciousness or a fulfiller of the consciousness. …&lt;br /&gt;
Effectively, the consciousness centre (= central processor of the consciousness) is the actual basis and cause of the &#039;I&#039;/Ego-consciousness or the central &#039;I&#039;/Ego, that’s why it is also called the &#039;higher-&#039;I&#039;/Ego&#039; or the &#039;higher-self&#039;.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We cannot read this often enough in order to understand and grasp as far as we can what has been said. It is often forgotten that the consciousness is the pivotal factor of power for growth and evolution, even when the kick/impetus for this comes from the unconsciousness as an inspiration. The material consciousness, thoughts, feelings, psyche, self/ego, personality, character, memory of the consciousness, subconsciousness and memory of the subconsciousness are indeed individual programmes/processes, but they are imbedded in the consciousness-block, which is why everything in principle is a unity and cannot really be separated from each other. Everything is methodically arranged in an interactive system – just like a computer with its operating system and the diverse programmes/processes and connected devices. For example, without the operating system Windows, the Microsoft Office products do not really function; they are interdependent. The operating system is the software of a computer which is what enables, operates, controls and monitors the work with the data processor in the first place through the definition of logical devices, data structures (files) and programmes/processes. So there must definitely be an operating system available, so the hardware can be used for any applications/programmes. It’s also that way in our brain and our body. The mental-block, which together with the consciousness harbours and nurtures our thoughts and feelings and thereby forms the psyche, has an influence on action (= become active, affect, operate, behave, etc.) as well as on the individuality-block, to which the ego/&#039;I&#039;, the personality, the character and the memory belong, while on the other hand all these factors are form-giving in turn to the actions, thoughts and feelings, and the psyche. And all of this naturally influences each and every cell of the body as well as the cells of the organs, and these eventually affect the psyche again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everything rotates helically (in the form of a spiral); one thing gives rise to another and they continue to form each other reciprocally, and everything is made possible, directed, controlled and watched by the consciousness – and the cosmic-electromagnetic life-energy is the life-substance that animates the body via the spirit-form and the spirit-web. (A programme is comparable to a process, meaning a concrete series of single steps, which function according to specific rules. To become active, a process/programme needs a processor. The operating system manages – among many other functions – the execution of processes, and in the CPU [= Central Processing Unit; for the PC e.g. Pentium], the central processor of a computer, the processes are executed in multi-tasking mode. More information in the Internet.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

For the vast majority of humanity, this undoubtedly means having the right to think and behave as one pleases and without having to care for others or for the creational laws. A few examples of this include loud-hearing of disharmonic music, feet on the seat in the train and tram, consuming drugs, having wild parties, displaying anger, picking fights, obscene language, venting emotions like jealousy and hate, etc., and so on and so forth. In doing so, these human beings are even supported by a number of psychologists, since it apparently is supposed to be healthy to scream out the anger and rage. For these human beings, the only options are to scream it out or to swallow it. To pull themselves together, be equanimous and not get angry at all, is apparently not up for discussion.

Shortly after the beginning of the second part “…and thereby gain might over myself”, I mentioned a &#039;curriculum vitae&#039;. I don’t know at this moment, whether you have ever wondered if what we have done or do in general also appropriately defines us, regardless of how elaborately we describe our achievements and favourite pastimes. This is certainly not the case. First of all, we never tell everything – especially not the bad things – and besides, it is only a description of our material-intellectual achievements and at best of our physical fitness. There are still so many unknown sides in us – which make themselves felt occasionally – that we are often taken by surprise.From the Teaching of Spirit, the Teaching of Life and the Teaching of Truth we know that the essence of all the relative knowledge and ability of our predecessor-personalities is stored in the memory of our subconsciousness. Do you think that to know this essence or at least to grasp an inkling of it would advance us in consciousness and contribute something to our self-knowledge – hence to the knowledge about ourselves and who we are? If that’s how you think, then you’re right. In the Spiritual Teaching, Spirit-Lesson no. 144, on page 1777, Billy writes the following:&lt;br /&gt;
“…The powers of the unconscious-forms are connected with the powers of the subconsciousness, and the subconsciousness releases its stored knowledge to the consciousness, which then through its own powers translates the received impulses, information, data, ideas, explanations and so forth and so on into action, life and activity. This also applies to self-knowledge, which is stored in the subconsciousness and is released to the consciousness, when the comprehensive block composed of the consciousness, subconsciousness and unconscious forms is fully functional. However, as long as the human being knows nothing of the content of his subconsciousness, he will continue to lack self-knowledge, because the requisite facts for this are only contained therein and must be released from there by the consciousness. If that does not happen, then no self-knowledge can arise and with it no self-realisation, albeit this very factor is among the fundamental needs for each and every human being. …&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In truth this ’mirror of the soul’ refers to the subconsciousness (= unconscious of the subconsciousness and the subconsciousness-forms in the memory of the subconsciousness; annotation) in which the subconscious contents of all senses, norms and value-definitions are stored, as well as the values of the conscience, the facts of inclinations and feelings, of emotions, intentions, wishes, expectations and attitudes as well as of the individual characteristics and so on and so forth, which after all are the personality or the consciousness itself. When these factors are brought out consciously or unconsciously or through dreams, then they help to acquire a deeper self-knowledge and self-realisation in harmony with the real self. Here real self means that the human being is conscious/aware of himself or herself and his or her personality, particularly in all things pertaining to the individual (= mental-block, individuality-block and subconsciousness-block; annotation) and to all other values, through which the essential core or the inner original source of the person is expressed, hence the real nature of the personality in all of its hidden and open individualities, significances, characters, relations, forms and so forth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next step is therefore: “How do I use my subconsciousness to become better acquainted with myself and to evolutionise my inner self and feelings in a creational sense through conscious reflection and bring the external in line with the internal?” To achieve this, Billy’s Spiritual Teaching (e.g. in Spirit-Lesson no. 159) and the book “Meditation aus klarer Sicht” is the most comprehensive source of help. Meditation is absolutely essential. You now only have to build up the motivation and the will to also carry it through. Because as Billy repeatedly says: “Vo nüüt chunt nüüt.” (From nothing comes nothing.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When you now reread the sentence “I always remain relaxed and thereby gain might over myself”, it has a completely different meaning, doesn’t it? The self is something fully comprehensive. Not only the entire mental-block (material-consciousness, thoughts, feelings and psyche), the individuality-block (ego/&#039;I&#039;, personality, character and memory), the subconsciousness-block (material subconsciousness including the memory) and the respective unconscious-forms belong to it, but the self extends into our very cells. It is therefore not just a theoretical construct, but a &#039;human-being-energy-impulsation-power&#039;, set up by Creation.&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Schantz: Created page with &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;“Greed devours the brain“&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;  Some weeks ago I bought a book with the title “Der Crash kommt – Die neue Weltwirtschaftskrise und wie Sie sich darauf vorbereiten“ (fr...&amp;#039;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;“Greed devours the brain“&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some weeks ago I bought a book with the title “Der Crash kommt – Die neue Weltwirtschaftskrise und wie Sie sich darauf vorbereiten“ (free translation: “The Crash is coming—the new world economic crisis and how you can prepare yourself”) by Prof. Dr. Max Otte (ISBN 978-3-430-20001-1). His unrolling of the history of the various crashes shows me that our beautiful mother Earth accommodates a lot of “brainless” imitators and repetitive offenders—which can also be said about history in general. The book is very gripping and in a certain way also instructive, but I’m only going to elaborate on a particular point that caught my eye and which I find is absolutely true and worthwhile to examine in more detail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On page 41 in the first paragraph there is the following sentence: “The old broker wisdom ‘Greed devours the brain’ hits the nail on the head.” This saying also struck me immediately. It’s really true: “Greed devours the brain”! Of course Max Otte supports his statements with some scientific studies, as expected from a professor. Among others he describes an experiment where students were asked questions concerning financial investments while having their heads in a MRI scanner. One of the questions was whether they wanted 100 dollars now or rather 110 dollars in 4 months. The MRI scanner then showed which parts of the brain were especially active during the answering of the questions. Every time the test subject was “greedy”, i.e. wanted the 100 dollars immediately, the cerebellum exhibited a high level of activity. In the history of evolution the cerebellum is a very old part of the brain which is also found in reptiles—one could say it contains our primary rudimentary instinct. However, those test subjects who decided for the 110 dollars in 4 months exhibited a high level of activity in the cerebrum that is used for conscious thinking.&lt;br /&gt;
For Max Otte it is quite clear that no profitable stock market transactions can be carried out if only the cerebellum is involved. But how does this function in general? Do we get any positive results if instinctive greed is the motivating force behind our actions instead of intelligent and reasonable thinking?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Greed has several synonyms, i.e. related terms, such as:&lt;br /&gt;
desire&lt;br /&gt;
lasciviousness&lt;br /&gt;
lust&lt;br /&gt;
obsession&lt;br /&gt;
vice&lt;br /&gt;
passion&lt;br /&gt;
addictions (craving for money and power, victory, quarrels;&lt;br /&gt;
compulsive gambling, gluttony, drugs, sensation, etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Greed is therefore not only to be associated with money, but this unreasonable, foolish and depraved behaviour can also be observed in the degenerated forms of eating, sex, gambling, brutality, belligerence, aggressiveness, victory and lust for power, etc.—greed affects a lot of spheres of life.&lt;br /&gt;
Our consciousness consists of uncountable consciousness forms or consciousness levels that embody characteristics, such as love, esthetics, greed, dignity, hatred, eroticism, harmony, freedom, peace, thirst for revenge, justice, retaliation, and a lot more; all of them radiate in a particular colour according to their evolutionary level. If, according to the above study, greed activates the cerebellum—historically one of evolution’s oldest parts of the brain—, then this means for me that the radiated colour also has to be of a low value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Block 2 of the Plejadian-Plejaren Contact Reports on page 225, there is a table of colour values which lists the values of the seven radiated colours through which the human being’s consciousness levels have to progress.&lt;br /&gt;
If one looks for the terms&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inability to reason, unreasonableness.&lt;br /&gt;
Inability to judge and think, form concepts, draw conclusions, lack of judgment&lt;br /&gt;
vice,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
then they can be found in the first radiation value under the colour pink.&lt;br /&gt;
What does this really mean? In my opinion, it means that our pre-, pre- …. pre-ancestors as the first human beings not only had consciousness levels radiating in pink, but also if we are greedy and otherwise are leading an unreasonable way of life without thinking and judging etc., then we have not evolved ourselves much higher than this “Primate-status”. There are a lot of nuances from pink to violet—the second value.&lt;br /&gt;
Coming back to the above expression “Greed devours the brain”, we have to ask ourselves why greed embodies so much destructiveness and a primate-like status. Surely we are embarrassed or even repelled when observing colleagues eating huge quantities of food voraciously in the cafeteria; seeing extremely achievement- and bonus-oriented ones—head downwards—rushing by; watching how megalomaniacs with lust for power decide over the “heads” of their employees; reading about disgusting sex machinations in the worst form of inhumanity—possibly even with children—, so that our hair stands on end—something is just not right. There is some power which obviously is much stronger than the wish and the insight to really be a self-controlled human being. Whatever may be the reason, they are victims of foreign determination that is much stronger than their present evolutionary level of reasoning, thinking and judging.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps some may ask themselves what is wrong with such instinctive acting if it is embedded in our brains and therefore part of us. Besides, they may also claim it would have atrophied if it were no longer of any use to us. (Of course these are not the only excuses of those persons affected, because to defend oneself is always much easier than to seriously improve.)—There are two possible answers which cannot be repeated often enough.&lt;br /&gt;
Firstly: The Creation’s predetermined aim for the human being is such, that his or her spirit form has to evolve by means of the consciousness to such a height that it will be able to melt together with the universal consciousness, the Creation, to evolve the Creation itself, for the perfection of the Creation, the universal consciousness, is always only relative.&lt;br /&gt;
Secondly: In the Creation, the universal consciousness, everything is pervaded or steered by the principle of cause and effect. That means, for every possible cause there exists an effect following the Creation’s pattern. Everything is pre-programmed, like a huge operating system that contains all possibilities and eventualities. The “cause and effect system” receives the frequencies of our absolutely free and self-steered thinking, feeling and acting as cause, and we receive as effect—which is at the same time the new cause for another effect—that which is predefined in the Creation’s pattern—without any emotions nor feelings, but in absolute logic (logos = the power of the Creation).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our thinking and acting is not predefined, as some may perhaps assume—if it were so, we would be complete puppets and not capable of having our own thoughts—; only the laws of cause and effect are predefined. We have an infinite number of possibilities to choose from, everything is open to us, we can choose from the greatest degeneration in the worst form of inhumanity up to the most dignified human life. To find the Creation’s correct path within this openness and myriad of possibilities in order to become a real human being is the greatest challenge, and yet our responsibility. The influence of the many religions, sects, cults, ideologies, philosophies, etc. on us Earth human beings leads us astray and hinders us in decoding the program’s code step-by-step. It is therefore very important to look out for the right help in order to make progress in our consciousness and to work towards our aim. One great help is the “Dekalog/Dodekalog” by “Billy” Eduard Albert Meier (FIGU, Wassermannzeit-Verlag, CH-8495 Schmidrüti). In the “Dekalog/Dodekalog”, the 12 commandments of the highest spiritual level called PETALE are explained. These commandments are very old—that is, in the order of billions of years—, merely formulated in a language the Earth human being is able to understand. Contrary to the known biblical 10 commandments, where each commandment stands on its own and can more or less be fulfilled on its own, the true commandments don’t allow such a thing. If only one commandment of the Creation is violated, all others are violated at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;
All the above mentioned examples of greediness—and also those not mentioned—violate already the 1st commandment, because greed for something, such as money, power, satisfaction, desire, etc., turns the object of desire into a foreign power, an idol. If we idolize e.g. the idol “Mammon“ or worship any gods or saints, we then no longer acknowledge the Creation’s status as being the sole might—we deprive the Creation of its might.&lt;br /&gt;
The 1st commandment is called: “You are to have no other mights and no gods, idols and saints beside the Creation.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two explanations for it:&lt;br /&gt;
128.	Only the human being creates good and evil through his process of thinking, and the powers released thereby, thus generating new mights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
129.	But these human-made mights are neither created in the Creation’s love, nor in enduring form, therefore they are against the laws and commandments of the Creation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also the 2nd commandment will be violated because through the deprivation of the Creation’s might, the love for the Creation is no longer given.&lt;br /&gt;
The 2nd commandment is called: “You are to keep the name of the Creation holy and not abuse this name.“&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two explanations for it:&lt;br /&gt;
173.	Not only outwardly you are to live thereby, but in all of your internal and external activities and deeds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
174.	Because you are a human being who now is informed of this second commandment, you are to realize that every word and every thought and every activity not in harmony with the Creation’s love means a transgression against this commandment, and you thereby consciously violate the all-controlling (holy) name of the Creation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There will also be a violation of the 3rd commandment, as through the deprivation of the Creation’s might, the love for the Creation is no longer given and also the conscious control ceases.&lt;br /&gt;
The 3rd commandment is called: “You are to make every day a day of celebration and keep it holy (control it).“&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two explanations for it:&lt;br /&gt;
230.	The commandment only says that for the duration of your life, you are to refrain from all those activities not in agreement with the Creation’s laws and commandments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
231.	When you are actively engaged outside the realm of the Creation’s love, you will defile the day—you lose control over it—and thereby you transgress against this commandment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the same applies to all the following nine commandments of the “Dekalog/Dodekalog”.&lt;br /&gt;
In this way each commandment shows what happens if the human being no longer controls himself and no longer orients himself or herself towards the Creation—and in this way suffers from the effects of the cause and effect principle, which can be very painful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since we are human beings, we have the responsibility, predetermined by the Creation, to evolve our consciousness levels to such a high level that they one day radiate in the purest blue according to the aforementioned colour scale. Our consciousness-block will then be pure:&lt;br /&gt;
Truth&lt;br /&gt;
Knowledge&lt;br /&gt;
Wisdom&lt;br /&gt;
Strength&lt;br /&gt;
Love&lt;br /&gt;
Respect&lt;br /&gt;
Inner Fulfillment&lt;br /&gt;
Protection&lt;br /&gt;
Might&lt;br /&gt;
Will of Creation&lt;br /&gt;
Creation&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Until then it is still a very, very long way to go. For most of the human beings who live on Earth it means still uncountable reincarnations of the spirit form and incarnations of new personalities over millions of years. But we are not without support because Billy’s many and comprehensive writings and books and his teaching of the spirit help us—provided we make the effort to understand and digest everything, and then to live our life using our ability and power to think, understand and judge according to the given commandments of the Creation and to live as human beings without any greed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Cardiff-by the-Sea, California, A MESSAGE OF HOPE FROM AVILA BOOKS/PUBLISHING&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
February 2005&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The poem ‹No Eye Equal to Wisdom› is a well-meaning message to humanity at this epoch of worldwide turbulence. It is critical at this time of spiritual awakening by a growing section of society that the irrationality and destruction of war be recognized as a failure of human culture. The core values of wisdom and human consciousness need to be acknowledged, so that spirituality can replace ritual religious doctrine, and so that all-inclusiveness and cooperation can replace divisive competition and national arrogance. A transcendence in the level of human consciousness must take place for the natural viability of life on this planet to be saved, and for civilization to be spared a deadly cultural regression into a new dark age. Ignorance must be banished and human consciousness enriched for human minds and spirits to be healed, so that peace, joy and freedom can reign and so that Friedrich Schiller&#039;s vision in his ‹Ode to Joy,› of ‹all humans becoming brothers/sisters,› can become a reality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No Eye Equal to Wisdom&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A noble quest wins he who&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
wields the lightning bolt of&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
truth, the sword of knowledge&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
tried and true, to tear apart&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the inky veils of feeble-minded&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and unmitigated ignorance&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- the primal sin that makes&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the untaught err and stumble.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yet it is nobler still by far&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
to let the flame of wisdom softly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
spread its light of cognizance,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
to gently guide the common fools,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the lost, the fearful, righteous,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
arrogant and know-it-all&#039;s,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
so as to broaden and enrich&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
their needy, yearning souls.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blessed are they whose spirit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
richly thrives with cosmic wisdom,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
moral logic and capacity for love.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For they will know the truth,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
be brimming full with life; not&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
like the poor-in-spirit who subsist&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
in dread and can&#039;t find light,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
nor strength to wholly live.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No terror - anywhere on Earth&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
or in the heavens - comes close&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
to icy, loveless fear that permeates&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the poor-in-consciousness. There&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
is no higher bliss than wisdom,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
no better friend than knowing&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
truth, no savior other than&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the living Spirit&#039;s might.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The greatest human victory yet&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
unshackles those whose spirit is&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
enslaved by flawed, self-serving&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and unnatural beliefs; is petrified&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
with fear of vengeful gods. Once&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
freed, a people&#039;s spirit molds a will&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
to banish from their minds all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
vengeance, envy, fear and greed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With mind and spirit healed,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
true justice can be won for all;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
a chance for peace that will endure,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
once humans cast out vicious hate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then freedom reigns, unspoiled&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
by haughty flags and national&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
intrigues, unchained from all&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
beguiling dogmas that enslave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(c) Dietmar Rothe, 2004/5&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This poem, ‹No Eye Equal to Wisdom,› was inspired by the wise teachings of Jmmanuel (Jesus) as retold in the Talmud of Jmmanuel (TJ26:27,28):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
«There is no eye equal to wisdom, no darkness equal to ignorance, no power equal to the power of the spirit, and no terror equal to the poverty of consciousness. There is no higher happiness than wisdom, no better friend than knowledge, and no other savior than the power of the spirit.»&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See http://www.tjresearch.info and http://www.avilabooks.com/Jmmanuel.htm&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The poem was further influenced by quotes from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
«Noble let a person be, compassionate and good.»&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and from Friedrich Schiller&#039;s (1759-1805) verse:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
«A higher conquest&#039;s won by him&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
who swings the lightning bolt of truth&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
to free the human spirit-mind…»&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Professional Skeptics Group Proves UFOs Real!&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Organization expected to retract defamatory claims, facilitate $1,000,000 award to Swiss man&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LOS ANGELES&lt;br /&gt;
- It was only a matter of time before a breakthrough in authenticating the existence of non-terrestrial UFOs would take place but, surely, nobody thought it would come about this way. Despite mounting evidence over the past half-century the arbiters and manipulators of public opinion in media, governmental and scientific circles, along with professional skeptics and debunkers, have marginalized serious discussion of UFOs and dismissed all evidence as inconclusive and flawed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Defamatory Claims?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A special target, at the top of the hit list for skeptics and debunkers for more than 25 years, are the claimed contacts of a Swiss man, Billy Meier. Meier, who claimed that his contacts with extraterrestrial humans began in 1942, when he was five years old, also says that they continue to this day, more than 60 years later. But the skeptics, in labeling Meier and his evidence as fraudulent, claim that he hoaxed his 35mm photos and 8mm film segments of the UFOs during the mid-1970s using models or some unidentified form of special effects wizardry to accomplish the alleged deception. Professional skeptics, such as the international organization CFI, magician/skeptic The &amp;quot;Amazing&amp;quot; Randi and science writer/skeptic Michael Shermer, have long been in the forefront of those accusing Meier of hoaxing his physical evidence, which also includes video and sound recordings, as well as metal alloy samples.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meier&#039;s supporters state that these claims run counter to the results of scientific examination of Meier&#039;s evidence by experts from JPL, IBM, USGS and Nippon TV, as well as special effects expert Wally Gentleman, known for his work on Stanley Kubrick&#039;s &amp;quot;2001&amp;quot;, among many films. They also claim that all of Meier&#039;s physical evidence remains irreproducible even with today&#039;s technology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Challenge&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to definitively resolve the matter, in early February 2001, a number of Meier&#039;s more than 1200 photos and eight film segments were presented for examination to case investigator Vaughn Rees of CFI West, the Los Angeles branch of CFI. Mr. Rees concluded that, in his expert opinion, they were all &amp;quot;easily duplicated hoaxes&amp;quot; and that the two lights seen flashing alternately from two different parts of the UFO in the film (Hasenbol, March 18, 1976 at: www.figu.org/us/ufology/videos.htm) were accomplished simply by Meier&#039;s scratching the film with a pin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mr. Rees agreed to back up his claims by duplicating one of Meier&#039;s UFO photos along with the film segment, which should be the easiest to duplicate because it was the only one of Meier&#039;s that had no other objects in it to compare to the UFO. Mr. Rees stated that he already had a 35mm photo camera and knew where to acquire an 8mm movie camera. His work wasn&#039;t required to be exact to the last detail, just convincingly comparable in quality to Meier&#039;s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the next two months Mr. Rees failed to submit anything to back up his claims and, in May of 2001, it was suggested that he could try using any high-tech equipment available to him, i.e. computers, special effects, Photoshop, etc., to fulfill his commitment. It was also suggested that, if he wished to be sporting about it, he should use only one hand since Meier is a one-armed man.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Results&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two years later, at a UFO conference in February of 2003, Mr. Rees was confronted about his failure to meet the challenge. He responded that he still didn&#039;t have access to a photo-processing lab, which Meier himself never had access to, having sent all of his films off to a local shop for developing. Mr. Rees was reminded that he could, and perhaps had already tried to, use any high-tech means at his disposal instead. In a comparable two-year period Mr. Meier had, with one hand, produced hundreds of photos, while the able-bodied, technology-savvy Mr. Rees had produced none.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, about three years have passed and Mr. Rees has still failed to provide even one photo or film to back up his claims. In a three-year period of time Meier had taken nearly 1,000 photographs and, in about one year&#039;s time, he took at least one-half dozen of his 8mm films, and he did all of this using only one hand! A comparable number and quality of such types of films for an individual special effects person during the mid-1970s (and maybe any other time period) would be quite respectable, though an Internet search will reveal that no such cinematic accomplishments, professional or otherwise, exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This may be the first, and most important, time in history that skeptics have set out to disprove a presumed hoax and ended up proving its authenticity. And, in this case, what they proved is undoubtedly the factuality of the most important event in human history, the existence of, and contact with, extraterrestrials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What Integrity Demands&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The professional skeptics of the Meier case have concocted all sorts of fanciful notions and theories as to how he hoaxed the evidence. But when challenged to prove their claims they repeatedly replied that it was not their job to attempt to duplicate the evidence, although conducting themselves according to the scientific method would require it. Their time for freely, and irresponsibly, attacking Meier ran out when Mr. Rees and CFI West utterly and completely failed to meet the challenge they had finally accepted. In so doing, they effectively proved Meier&#039;s UFOs real and their own claims unsubstantiated and defamatory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unequivocal public retractions and apologies are now due Meier from CFI West, Vaughn Rees, Randi, Michael Shermer, etc. They have indulged in character assassination, slander and libel, and the sloppiest, least scientific thinking imaginable. It is now absolutely incumbent upon any and all of the skeptics who have offered money for proof of &amp;quot;paranormal&amp;quot; phenomenon, to offer it to Meier and his non-profit organization in Switzerland, FIGU. Specifically, the offer by Randi of $1,000,000 for proof of a paranormal ability has been more than satisfied and must be paid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Integrity demands that they now live up to their word. There can be absolutely no argument, dispute or doubt now, especially considering the abysmal, failed attempts by the skeptical accusers themselves, with any tools at their disposal, to debunk, let alone duplicate, Meier&#039;s stunning proof. Now it&#039;s time to recognize that the most important event in human history has occurred and to discover what meaning it holds for us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Addendum&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the skeptics have offered an unexpected contribution to authenticating what have come to be known as the Meier Contacts, it&#039;s really only the tip of a very deep and solid iceberg of irrefutable proof far beyond a reasonable doubt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Noted Astronomer Corroborates Additional Evidence&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In April of 2003, Dr. Joseph Veverka, Chairman of the Astronomy Department at Cornell University, was presented with documentation of specific information on Jupiter, its rings and its moons, published by Meier in October, 1978, five months before the Voyager probe photographed and relayed the information back to Earth. When shown the evidence that Meier described the moon Io as being the most volcanically active body in the solar system, prior to the first official knowledge of it in March of 1979, Dr. Veverka was direct and candid, &amp;quot;If he said that 3-5 months before, then all that I can say is that he&#039;s right.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meier also documented the fact that Jupiter has rings; described the chemical composition of the planet&#039;s surface, the coloration of it&#039;s moons, Io&#039;s smooth surface and Europa being encrusted in ice. But far more amazingly, Meier accurately described both the composition and the source of Jupiter&#039;s rings 20 years before scientists from Cornell announced their findings, in 1998!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prophetically Accurate Information&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In February of 1995, Meier published a lengthy document of enormous complexity in which he foretold the likelihood of certain specific future events. In September 2001, portions of that information were included in the book &amp;quot;And Yet They Fly!&amp;quot; written by Guido Moosbrugger, an Austrian former schoolteacher and principle acquainted with Meier for about 25 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following seven items, foretold on pages 347 and 348 of &amp;quot;And Yet They Fly!&amp;quot; have recently occurred and virtually in the sequence Meier foretold:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. The strike or attack by the US and its president (Iraq). Meier even used the word &amp;quot;stun&amp;quot; when he said the strike would &amp;quot;...stun the entire world...&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Stun&amp;quot; is a synonym for the term &amp;quot;shock&amp;quot; used by the US as in &amp;quot;shock and awe&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
2. Meier correctly predicted the following upsurge in unrest and violence from Islamic fundamentalists.&lt;br /&gt;
3. Meier foretold the spread of AIDS, which has indeed become very widespread.&lt;br /&gt;
4. Mad Cow Disease has since spread to other animals and humans as Meier also predicted.&lt;br /&gt;
5. Meier said that a new disease and epidemic would then appear and SARS did just that.&lt;br /&gt;
6. His warning regarding a renewed threat of chemical warfare is more in the news than ever.&lt;br /&gt;
7. Meier specifically warned of the possibility of an accident, one that he said could be avoided, however, at the nuclear power plant near Lyon, France. The emergency scenario, and the timely shut down of that exact plant, occurred on August 12, 2003.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, in case the astronomically high odds against any kind of coincidences or lucky guesses aren&#039;t apparent, consider that Meier identified the following eight years in advance:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. The exact country and leader (out of hundreds) that would launch a stunning attack and a synonym for the term actually used by that country&#039;s leader (impossible to calculate).&lt;br /&gt;
2. The exact religious group (out of thousands) that would respond with their own attacks.&lt;br /&gt;
3. The exact disease (out of thousands) that would spread widely among humans.&lt;br /&gt;
4. The exact animal disease (out of thousands) that would spread to other animals and humans.&lt;br /&gt;
5. The sudden appearance of a new disease and epidemic.&lt;br /&gt;
6. The exact kind of weapons and warfare that would cause renewed threats.&lt;br /&gt;
7. The exact location (out of 436) and type of facility (out of several) that would have a near-accident.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If this doesn&#039;t qualify as a genuine demonstration of psychic or paranormal abilities nothing does.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And it far exceeds any reasonable requirements to garner the financial award promised for such a demonstration, though that never has been the purpose of Meier&#039;s mission. It is only fitting, however, that those who have long accused him of being a hoaxer out for non-existent, and unproven, financial gain, should now have the opportunity to reward him, not only for his abilities, but also for suffering the fools and their defamation for so long.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For those who may be unaware, in addition to character assassination, Meier has survived 19 ([note by Billy: 21] documented) actual assassination attempts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Sound Recordings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, the skeptics (and others who&#039;ve actually tried) have also been unable to reproduce the sound recordings Meier made of a UFO, using only a cassette tape recorder, in an open field in front of 15 witnesses. There are 32 simultaneous frequencies occurring, 24 in the audible and eight in the inaudible range. To date, they remain irreproducible even with state-of-the-art synthesizers, let alone with cassette machines outdoors.&lt;br /&gt;
You can hear, and download, a three-minute sample of the sounds at:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
www.figu.org/us/ufology/beamship_sound.htm and experiment with them yourself. You will also find more documentation on the Meier Contacts at this website: www.andyettheyfly.com.&lt;br /&gt;
The Most Important Event In Human History&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now that the authenticity of the Meier Contacts have been firmly established, we can begin to examine the information, and the real purpose, behind the most important event in human history. Hint: It has to do with our future survival.&lt;br /&gt;

In a comparable two-year period Mr. Meier had, with one hand, produced hundreds of photos, while the able-bodied, technology-savvy Mr. Rees had produced none.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, about three years have passed and Mr. Rees has still failed to provide even one photo or film to back up his claims. In a three-year period of time Meier had taken nearly 1,000 photographs and, in about one year&#039;s time, he took at least one-half dozen of his 8mm films, and he did all of this using only one hand! A comparable number and quality of such types of films for an individual special effects person during the mid-1970s (and maybe any other time period) would be quite respectable, though an Internet search will reveal that no such cinematic accomplishments, professional or otherwise, exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This may be the first, and most important, time in history that skeptics have set out to disprove a presumed hoax and ended up proving its authenticity. And, in this case, what they proved is undoubtedly the factuality of the most important event in human history, the existence of, and contact with, extraterrestrials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What Integrity Demands&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The professional skeptics of the Meier case have concocted all sorts of fanciful notions and theories as to how he hoaxed the evidence. But when challenged to prove their claims they repeatedly replied that it was not their job to attempt to duplicate the evidence, although conducting themselves according to the scientific method would require it. Their time for freely, and irresponsibly, attacking Meier ran out when Mr. Rees and CFI West utterly and completely failed to meet the challenge they had finally accepted. In so doing, they effectively proved Meier&#039;s UFOs real and their own claims unsubstantiated and defamatory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unequivocal public retractions and apologies are now due Meier from CFI West, Vaughn Rees, Randi, Michael Shermer, etc. They have indulged in character assassination, slander and libel, and the sloppiest, least scientific thinking imaginable. It is now absolutely incumbent upon any and all of the skeptics who have offered money for proof of &amp;quot;paranormal&amp;quot; phenomenon, to offer it to Meier and his non-profit organization in Switzerland, FIGU. Specifically, the offer by Randi of $1,000,000 for proof of a paranormal ability has been more than satisfied and must be paid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Integrity demands that they now live up to their word. There can be absolutely no argument, dispute or doubt now, especially considering the abysmal, failed attempts by the skeptical accusers themselves, with any tools at their disposal, to debunk, let alone duplicate, Meier&#039;s stunning proof. Now it&#039;s time to recognize that the most important event in human history has occurred and to discover what meaning it holds for us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Addendum&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the skeptics have offered an unexpected contribution to authenticating what have come to be known as the Meier Contacts, it&#039;s really only the tip of a very deep and solid iceberg of irrefutable proof far beyond a reasonable doubt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Noted Astronomer Corroborates Additional Evidence&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In April of 2003, Dr. Joseph Veverka, Chairman of the Astronomy Department at Cornell University, was presented with documentation of specific information on Jupiter, its rings and its moons, published by Meier in October, 1978, five months before the Voyager probe photographed and relayed the information back to Earth. When shown the evidence that Meier described the moon Io as being the most volcanically active body in the solar system, prior to the first official knowledge of it in March of 1979, Dr. Veverka was direct and candid, &amp;quot;If he said that 3-5 months before, then all that I can say is that he&#039;s right.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meier also documented the fact that Jupiter has rings; described the chemical composition of the planet&#039;s surface, the coloration of it&#039;s moons, Io&#039;s smooth surface and Europa being encrusted in ice. But far more amazingly, Meier accurately described both the composition and the source of Jupiter&#039;s rings 20 years before scientists from Cornell announced their findings, in 1998!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prophetically Accurate Information&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In February of 1995, Meier published a lengthy document of enormous complexity in which he foretold the likelihood of certain specific future events. In September 2001, portions of that information were included in the book &amp;quot;And Yet They Fly!&amp;quot; written by Guido Moosbrugger, an Austrian former schoolteacher and principle acquainted with Meier for about 25 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following seven items, foretold on pages 347 and 348 of &amp;quot;And Yet They Fly!&amp;quot; have recently occurred and virtually in the sequence Meier foretold:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. The strike or attack by the US and its president (Iraq). Meier even used the word &amp;quot;stun&amp;quot; when he said the strike would &amp;quot;...stun the entire world...&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Stun&amp;quot; is a synonym for the term &amp;quot;shock&amp;quot; used by the US as in &amp;quot;shock and awe&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
2. Meier correctly predicted the following upsurge in unrest and violence from Islamic fundamentalists.&lt;br /&gt;
3. Meier foretold the spread of AIDS, which has indeed become very widespread.&lt;br /&gt;
4. Mad Cow Disease has since spread to other animals and humans as Meier also predicted.&lt;br /&gt;
5. Meier said that a new disease and epidemic would then appear and SARS did just that.&lt;br /&gt;
6. His warning regarding a renewed threat of chemical warfare is more in the news than ever.&lt;br /&gt;
7. Meier specifically warned of the possibility of an accident, one that he said could be avoided, however, at the nuclear power plant near Lyon, France. The emergency scenario, and the timely shut down of that exact plant, occurred on August 12, 2003.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, in case the astronomically high odds against any kind of coincidences or lucky guesses aren&#039;t apparent, consider that Meier identified the following eight years in advance:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. The exact country and leader (out of hundreds) that would launch a stunning attack and a synonym for the term actually used by that country&#039;s leader (impossible to calculate).&lt;br /&gt;
2. The exact religious group (out of thousands) that would respond with their own attacks.&lt;br /&gt;
3. The exact disease (out of thousands) that would spread widely among humans.&lt;br /&gt;
4. The exact animal disease (out of thousands) that would spread to other animals and humans.&lt;br /&gt;
5. The sudden appearance of a new disease and epidemic.&lt;br /&gt;
6. The exact kind of weapons and warfare that would cause renewed threats.&lt;br /&gt;
7. The exact location (out of 436) and type of facility (out of several) that would have a near-accident.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If this doesn&#039;t qualify as a genuine demonstration of psychic or paranormal abilities nothing does.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And it far exceeds any reasonable requirements to garner the financial award promised for such a demonstration, though that never has been the purpose of Meier&#039;s mission. It is only fitting, however, that those who have long accused him of being a hoaxer out for non-existent, and unproven, financial gain, should now have the opportunity to reward him, not only for his abilities, but also for suffering the fools and their defamation for so long.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For those who may be unaware, in addition to character assassination, Meier has survived 19 ([note by Billy: 21] documented) actual assassination attempts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Sound Recordings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, the skeptics (and others who&#039;ve actually tried) have also been unable to reproduce the sound recordings Meier made of a UFO, using only a cassette tape recorder, in an open field in front of 15 witnesses. There are 32 simultaneous frequencies occurring, 24 in the audible and eight in the inaudible range. To date, they remain irreproducible even with state-of-the-art synthesizers, let alone with cassette machines outdoors.&lt;br /&gt;
You can hear, and download, a three-minute sample of the sounds at:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The Most Important Event In Human History&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now that the authenticity of the Meier Contacts have been firmly established, we can begin to examine the information, and the real purpose, behind the most important event in human history. Hint: It has to do with our future survival.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Professional Skeptics Group Proves UFOs Real!&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Organization expected to retract defamatory claims, facilitate $1,000,000 award to Swiss man ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LOS ANGELES&lt;br /&gt;
- It was only a matter of time before a breakthrough in authenticating the existence of non-terrestrial UFOs would take place but, surely, nobody thought it would come about this way. Despite mounting evidence over the past half-century the arbiters and manipulators of public opinion in media, governmental and scientific circles, along with professional skeptics and debunkers, have marginalized serious discussion of UFOs and dismissed all evidence as inconclusive and flawed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Defamatory Claims?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A special target, at the top of the hit list for skeptics and debunkers for more than 25 years, are the claimed contacts of a Swiss man, Billy Meier. Meier, who claimed that his contacts with extraterrestrial humans began in 1942, when he was five years old, also says that they continue to this day, more than 60 years later. But the skeptics, in labeling Meier and his evidence as fraudulent, claim that he hoaxed his 35mm photos and 8mm film segments of the UFOs during the mid-1970s using models or some unidentified form of special effects wizardry to accomplish the alleged deception. Professional skeptics, such as the international organization CFI, magician/skeptic The &amp;quot;Amazing&amp;quot; Randi and science writer/skeptic Michael Shermer, have long been in the forefront of those accusing Meier of hoaxing his physical evidence, which also includes video and sound recordings, as well as metal alloy samples.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meier&#039;s supporters state that these claims run counter to the results of scientific examination of Meier&#039;s evidence by experts from JPL, IBM, USGS and Nippon TV, as well as special effects expert Wally Gentleman, known for his work on Stanley Kubrick&#039;s &amp;quot;2001&amp;quot;, among many films. They also claim that all of Meier&#039;s physical evidence remains irreproducible even with today&#039;s technology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Challenge&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to definitively resolve the matter, in early February 2001, a number of Meier&#039;s more than 1200 photos and eight film segments were presented for examination to case investigator Vaughn Rees of CFI West, the Los Angeles branch of CFI. Mr. Rees concluded that, in his expert opinion, they were all &amp;quot;easily duplicated hoaxes&amp;quot; and that the two lights seen flashing alternately from two different parts of the UFO in the film (Hasenbol, March 18, 1976 at: www.figu.org/us/ufology/videos.htm) were accomplished simply by Meier&#039;s scratching the film with a pin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mr. Rees agreed to back up his claims by duplicating one of Meier&#039;s UFO photos along with the film segment, which should be the easiest to duplicate because it was the only one of Meier&#039;s that had no other objects in it to compare to the UFO. Mr. Rees stated that he already had a 35mm photo camera and knew where to acquire an 8mm movie camera. His work wasn&#039;t required to be exact to the last detail, just convincingly comparable in quality to Meier&#039;s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the next two months Mr. Rees failed to submit anything to back up his claims and, in May of 2001, it was suggested that he could try using any high-tech equipment available to him, i.e. computers, special effects, Photoshop, etc., to fulfill his commitment. It was also suggested that, if he wished to be sporting about it, he should use only one hand since Meier is a one-armed man.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Results&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two years later, at a UFO conference in February of 2003, Mr. Rees was confronted about his failure to meet the challenge. He responded that he still didn&#039;t have access to a photo-processing lab, which Meier himself never had access to, having sent all of his films off to a local shop for developing. Mr. Rees was reminded that he could, and perhaps had already tried to, use any high-tech means at his disposal instead. In a comparable two-year period Mr. Meier had, with one hand, produced hundreds of photos, while the able-bodied, technology-savvy Mr. Rees had produced none.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, about three years have passed and Mr. Rees has still failed to provide even one photo or film to back up his claims. In a three-year period of time Meier had taken nearly 1,000 photographs and, in about one year&#039;s time, he took at least one-half dozen of his 8mm films, and he did all of this using only one hand! A comparable number and quality of such types of films for an individual special effects person during the mid-1970s (and maybe any other time period) would be quite respectable, though an Internet search will reveal that no such cinematic accomplishments, professional or otherwise, exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This may be the first, and most important, time in history that skeptics have set out to disprove a presumed hoax and ended up proving its authenticity. And, in this case, what they proved is undoubtedly the factuality of the most important event in human history, the existence of, and contact with, extraterrestrials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What Integrity Demands&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The professional skeptics of the Meier case have concocted all sorts of fanciful notions and theories as to how he hoaxed the evidence. But when challenged to prove their claims they repeatedly replied that it was not their job to attempt to duplicate the evidence, although conducting themselves according to the scientific method would require it. Their time for freely, and irresponsibly, attacking Meier ran out when Mr. Rees and CFI West utterly and completely failed to meet the challenge they had finally accepted. In so doing, they effectively proved Meier&#039;s UFOs real and their own claims unsubstantiated and defamatory.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Thoughts and feelings about translations&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The recent constitution of FIGU Society USA - FSUSA - as a branch of FIGU in the USA is of great importance for the progress of the mission, and this is also a reason to reflect about the role of translations.&lt;br /&gt;
Basically it is essential that every person interested in FIGU&#039;s texts should have the possibility to access them directly, read and study them, and, according to her/his own understanding, either to reject them or to learn for her/himself about life, existence and the laws of Creation.&lt;br /&gt;
The conditions necessary for opening this access to English-speaking people have already been set up by persons who realized this necessity of translations, in this case, into English, either translating by themselves or by sponsoring translations, thus laying a solid base for what is now FSUSA.&lt;br /&gt;
On this occasion it is also important to remember that the ufological evidence - photographs, film, sound recordings, and other physical proof - is just an external aspect of a gigantic package of spiritual/consciousness-related contents, in which we would probably all like to participate some day by experiencing a sighting by ourselves.&lt;br /&gt;
However, with all this fascination, we should always keep in mind, too, - even if this may be difficult sometimes - that a beamship is a means of transportation used by the Plejarians for the purpose of delivering their message to Billy, who gives them to us. So, what counts here in the first place, is the message and not so much the vehicle by which it was brought to us here on Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
As for my person, for example, the first contact with FIGU goes back to 1996, but it was already in 1985 that I had heard for the first time about Billy&#039;s contacts. At that time I was already living in a Spanish-speaking country, by now time enough to learn this language to a functionally satisfying level.&lt;br /&gt;
Soon after reading the first texts, I also knew of many Spanish-speaking people who wished to have access to the texts but who did not speak German, so I felt it made sense to start translating into Spanish. At that time I also felt that the ability to speak German was a great advantage, because this circumstance gave me direct access to the original scripts. Because of their contents we may consider these scripts to be a true treasure for all of us, with Billy being a worthy keeper, as his first name says: ?Eduard = keeper of the treasure?. This is also a proper moment to remember that since the beginning Billy has done and keeps still doing a tremendous amount of work, writing down all the messages and giving them to us. For doing so, he deserves all our gratitude, and so here I want to thank him deeply.&lt;br /&gt;
A good way to thank him is probably also to help him with his work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Making translations means trying to understand the text before translating it, so this is also an attempt for learning, and the experience of learning is also evolution, and evolution is a fulfillment of the purpose of life. Another part of this fulfillment lies in the fact that by the existing translations, more people will have access to the texts and will likewise experience this process of learning, so at this moment we are on the way to be aware of sharing something; this means we feel to be aware of the certainty of the fact that we live with and coexist with everybody and everything in the Universe, and this feeling is named love as the supreme principle of life.&lt;br /&gt;
Since the translations are a voluntary activity, it is also necessary to spend quite some free time with this work, and to have good dictionaries, to revise the translated text several times, in best case with the cooperation of other persons who also speak both German and the other language.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other hand, what do you think about learning German yourself? After all, it&#039;s for your own progress, and it&#039;s just a matter of realizing this utility, of making a decision, of constant work and practice, and above all, concentration, don&#039;t you think?&lt;br /&gt;

| &#039;&#039;&#039;Leserfrage&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Do you still maintain contacts with the Plejaren, and are there new statements from them regarding the atom bomb tests in North Korea, and are there any predictions about the US House of Representatives/Senate elections, and, what is the status of the prophecy in regard to the Third World War which is prophesied for the year 2006?&lt;br /&gt;
| Pflegen Sie immer noch Kontakte mit den Plejaren und gibt es von diesen neue Aussagen bezüglich der Atombombentests in Nordkorea, und gibt es irgendwelche Voraussagen auf die US-Abgerordnetenwahlen sowie den Stand der Prophetie in bezug des Dritten Weltkrieges, der für das Jahr 2006 prophezeit ist?&lt;br /&gt;

| &#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Antwort&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Naturally the contacts with the Plejaren still always continue and will also further exist until the point in time when I exit from the scene.&lt;br /&gt;
| Natürlich bestehen die Kontakte zu den Plejaren noch immer und werden auch weiterbestehen bis zu dem Zeitpunkt, da ich von der Bildfläche abtrete.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| The latest visit and the latest contact conversation took place four days ago, therefore I want to quote something in line with your question from the official [[Contact Report 436|contact conversation No. 436]], from October 15th, because it has something to report regarding your several-part question as well as also in regard to other things, however, which were not addressed by you, whereby it is simplest to convey the following extract from the contact conversation:&lt;br /&gt;
| Der letzte Besuch und das letzte Kontaktgespräch fand vor vier Tagen statt, weshalb ich aus dem offiziellen Kontaktgespräch Nr. 436 vom 15. Oktober etwas gemäss Ihrer Frage zitieren will, denn es gibt bezüglich Ihrer mehrteiligen Frage einiges zu berichten, wie aber auch hinsichtlich anderer Dinge, die von Ihnen nicht angesprochen wurden, wobei es am einfachsten ist, folgenden Auszug aus dem Kontaktgespräch widerzugeben:&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| But there is still North Korea in regard to which you say that the atom bomb test had been feigned, however, in spite of that, an uproar arose around the world.&lt;br /&gt;
| Da ist aber noch Nordkorea, wozu du sagtest, dass der Atombombentest ein fingierter gewesen sei, dass aber trotzdem rund um die Welt ein Aufruhr entstehe.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Allegedly, however, atomic particles were indeed confirmed to be in the atmosphere, for which reason I wonder why you say the entire thing is only feigned - have I perhaps wrongly understood something in regard to this, because by feigned I understand that something is simulated?&lt;br /&gt;
| Angeblich wurden aber doch atomare Partikel in der Atmosphäre festgestellt, weshalb ich mich wundere, dass du sagtest, das Ganze sei nur fingiert - verstehe ich diesbezüglich vielleicht etwas Falsches, denn unter fingiert verstehe ich, dass etwas vorgetäuscht wird?&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Your understanding corresponds also to that which I have addressed with feigned, because with the so-called test of atom bombs it did not deal with a large atomic bomb, rather with a small test object which, among other things, must also be labelled a target object and an object of provocation which demonstrates less than a kiloton of explosive material, which is ridiculously little and cannot be designated as an actual atom bomb, rather only as an object of deception, with which, additionally, commercial explosives still played a certain role.&lt;br /&gt;
| Dein Verständnis entspricht auch dem, was ich mit fingiert angesprochen habe, denn bei dem sogenannten Atombombentest handelte es sich nicht um eine grosse atomare Bombe, sondern um ein kleines Testobjekt, das unter anderem auch als Zweckobjekt und als Provokationsobjekt bezeichnet werden muss, das weniger als eine Kilotonne Sprengmasse aufwies, was lächerlich gering ist und nicht als eigentliche Atombombe bezeichnet werden kann, sondern nur als Täuschungsobjekt, bei dem zudem noch kommerzieller Sprengstoff eine gewisse Rolle spielte.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| As a matter of fact the entire thing was only calculatingly arranged in order, on one hand, to provoke the countries who are leading in regard to atomic weapons, and on the other hand, in order to warn the USA that North Korea could hit back atomically should they attack the country.&lt;br /&gt;
| Tatsächlich wurde das Ganze berechnend nur veranstaltet, um einerseits die führenden Staaten in bezug auf Atomwaffen zu provozieren, und andererseits, um die USA zu warnen, dass Nordkorea atomar zurückschlagen könnte, sollten diese das Land angreifen.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| That thereby, however, the world was transferred into uproar, is an effect which was not adequately born in mind and which can bring great damage for North Korea which, firstly, at the least, will be as a result of sanctions, whereby, however, North Korea will again feel justified in announcing further atomic actions and making loud threats.&lt;br /&gt;
| Dass aber damit die Welt in Aufruhr versetzt wurde, ist ein Effekt, der nicht genügend berücksichtigt wurde, und der für Nordkorea grossen Schaden bringen kann, was erstlich zumindest noch durch Sanktionen sein wird, wodurch sich aber Nordkorea wieder bestätigt fühlen wird, um weitere atomare Aktionen anzukünden und Drohungen lautbar werden zu lassen.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| A dangerous matter, for which, however, primarily the USA carries the guilt, I think.&lt;br /&gt;
| Eine gefährliche Sache, woran jedoch hauptsächlich die USA die Schuld tragen, meine ich.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Actually the USA, with its delusion that it plays the role of world police and must snatch world control for itself, is to blame for all that which is evil and bad which it officially brings about in North Korea, in Afghanistan, in Iran and in Iraq, as well as in various other countries of the Earth politically, militarily and seditiously, and will yet further bring about.&lt;br /&gt;
| Tatsächlich sind die USA mit ihrem Wahn, dass sie die Rolle einer Weltpolizei spielen und die Weltherrschaft an sich reissen müssten, schuld an all dem, was sich offiziell an Üblem und Bösem in Nordkorea, in Afghanistan, im Iran und im Irak sowie in verschiedenen anderen Staaten der Erde politisch, militärisch und aufständisch zuträgt und sich noch weiter zutragen wird.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Also to say, in regard to that, is that the irresponsible US President George W. Bush, through a corresponding law, openly supports torture as an interrogation method of prisoners, and indeed especially of political prisoners who are accused of terror.&lt;br /&gt;
| Diesbezüglich ist auch zu sagen, dass der verantwortungslose US-Präsident George W. Bush durch ein entsprechendes Gesetz offen die Folter als Befragungsmethode von Gefangenen befürwortet, und zwar speziell von politischen Gefangenen, die des Terrors verdächtigt werden.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Also, future so-called terror processes are intended to be carried out through military courts.&lt;br /&gt;
| Auch sollen künftighin sogenannte Terror-Prozesse durch Militärgerichte durchgeführt werden können.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| The corresponding law is already worked out and Bush&#039;s signature is as good as given whereby the monstrosity can come into power and the USA can yet further, and more cruelly, ignore all human rights.&lt;br /&gt;
| Das entsprechende Gesetz ist bereits ausgearbeitet, und die Unterschrift Bushs ist so gut wie gegeben, wodurch die Ungeheuerlichkeit in Kraft treten und die USA sich noch weiter und grausamer über alle Menschenrechte hinwegsetzen können.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Further to report is that US President Bush drives his megalomania and delusion of power so far, making it publicly known that space belongs to the USA and, so to say, nobody has the right to use it apart from the USA.&lt;br /&gt;
| Weiter ist zu berichten, dass US-Präsident Bush seinen Grössen- und Machtwahn soweit treibt, öffentlich bekanntzugeben, dass der Weltenraum den USA gehöre und sozusagen niemand das Recht habe, ausser den USA, diesen zu nutzen.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Further, this completely irresponsible sectarian signs a document to the effect that a fence, well over 1000 kilometers long, will be erected on the Mexican border in order to hold back the unwanted Mexican economic refugees from reaching the USA and for which the Israelis&#039; wall against Palestine, as well as the former East Germany&#039;s wall against West Germany, serve as criminal models for the USA.&lt;br /&gt;
| Weiter unterschreibt dieser völlig verantwortungslose Sektierer ein Dokument, demgemäss an der mexikanischen Grenze ein weit über 1000 Kilometer langer Zaun errichtet wird, wozu die Mauer der Israelis gegen Palästina sowie die Mauer der ehemaligen DDR gegen West-Deutschland den USA als verbrecherisches Vorbild dient, um unerwünschte mexikanische Wirtschaftsflüchtlinge davon abzuhalten, in die USA zu gelangen.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| There is, beside all this, however, something good in regard to the USA to nevertheless report, as I have already explained to you in a quite private way in the 428th contact conversation on the 10th of July of this year; namely, that in the beginning of November, with the election in the USA&#039;s House of Representatives/Senate, the irresponsible US president Bush, as well as his vassals and all his Republican followers, will suffer a grave defeat and the Democrats will win the upper hand.&lt;br /&gt;
| Etwas Gutes ist in bezug auf die USA nebenbei jedoch trotzdem einmal zu berichten, wie ich dir bereits beim 428. Kontaktgespräch am 10. Juli dieses Jahres in ganz privater Weise erklärt habe, nämlich dass Anfangs November bei den Wahlen im Abgeordnetenhaus der USA der verantwortungslose US-Präsident Bush sowie seine Vasallen und all seine republikanischen Anhänger eine schwere Niederlage erleiden und die Demokraten die Oberhand gewinnen werden.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Thereby it will be that the Bush government&#039;s secret and crazy plans can no longer be translated into reality, whereby many factors fall away through which a Third World War still threatened before the end of the year 2006.&lt;br /&gt;
| Dadurch ergibt sich, dass geheime und verruchte Pläne der Bush-Regierung nicht mehr in die Wirklichkeit umgesetzt werden können, wodurch viele Faktoren wegfallen, durch die noch vor Ende des Jahres 2006 ein Dritter Weltkrieg drohte.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Therefore the prophecy, that this year this war threatened, will not be fulfilled.&lt;br /&gt;
| Also wird sich die Prophetie nicht erfüllen, die diesen Krieg für dieses Jahr androhte.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| That this extensive war will, however, not come to be, will actually only be thanks to all those who vote for the Democrats in the USA and thereby will show the war-mongering Republicans, together with their President and his vassals, the boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;
| Das jedoch, dass dieser umfassende Krieg nicht stattfinden wird, wird tatsächlich nur all jenen zu verdanken sein, die in den USA die Demokraten wählen und damit die kriegshetzenden Republikaner samt ihrem Präsidenten und seinen Vasallen in die Schranken weisen werden.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Were that not to happen, then the Third World War, which Bush would actually still launch in November, if the Republicans could win the election, would not be avoided.&lt;br /&gt;
| Würde das nicht sein, dann wäre der Dritte Weltkrieg nicht zu vermeiden, den Bush tatsächlich noch im November vom Stapel brechen würde, wenn die Republikaner die Wahlen gewinnen könnten.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| His defeat by the Democrats, however, will bind his hands and restrict him in his murderous and criminal behaviour such that the prophecy will not be fulfilled.&lt;br /&gt;
| Seine Niederlage durch die Demokraten aber wird ihm die Hände binden und ihn in seinem mörderischen und verbrecherischen Handeln derart einschränken, dass sich die Prophetie nicht erfüllen wird.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Nevertheless, however, factors threaten again in later years which could indeed still lead to a Third World War, whereby, however, it is to hope that also then the Earth humans&#039; reason is victorious and the right thing will be done by all who can bring their influence to bear.&lt;br /&gt;
| Nichtsdestoweniger drohen jedoch zu späteren Jahren wieder Faktoren, die doch noch zu einem Dritten Weltkrieg führen könnten, wobei jedoch zu hoffen ist, dass auch dann die Vernunft der Erdenmenschen siegt und von all jenen das Richtige getan wird, die ihren Einfluss geltend machen können.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Nevertheless, however, still other dangers threaten which can have malignant worldwide effects, as, for example, the fact that the irresponsible powers of Israel have worked out secret plans regarding a rocket and air-force attack against the atomic facilities in Iran.&lt;br /&gt;
| Nichtsdestoweniger jedoch drohen noch andere Gefahren, die bösartig weltweite Auswirkungen haben können, wie z.B. die Tatsache, dass die verantwortungslosen Mächte Israels geheime Pläne ausgearbeitet haben hinsichtlich einer Raketen- und Luftwaffenattacke gegen die Atomanlagen im Iran.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| However, what comes of that in the short term is still not apparent.&lt;br /&gt;
| Was sich jedoch daraus ergibt, ist über kurze Zeit hinweg noch nicht ersichtlich.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| At any rate, such an attack will be supported by the USA, that is certain, because it then does not have to directly interfere in this, and the blame can be shifted onto Israel if something goes awry.&lt;br /&gt;
| Jedenfalls wird eine solche Attacke durch die USA befürwortet, das steht fest, weil sich diese dann nicht direkt einmischen müssen und die Schuld auf Israel abwälzen können, wenn etwas schief geht.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Further, in the beginning of November, in Iraq, as a result of pressure from the USA government, Saddam Hussein will be condemned to death, along with all who were his closest co-workers.&lt;br /&gt;
| Weiter wird Anfang November im Irak auf Drängen der USA-Regierung hin Saddam Husain zum Tode verurteilt, nebst jenen, welche seine engsten Mitarbeiter waren.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| The US American pressure on the court in Iraq, and in regard to the death penalty strived for by the USA against Hussein and his allies, consists of a US government criminal intrigue in the form that, as a result of the death penalty, the republicans are supposed to win the planned House of Representatives/Senate elections.&lt;br /&gt;
| Der US-amerikanische Druck auf das Gericht im Irak und in bezug auf das von den USA angestrebte Todesurteil gegen Husain und seine Verbündeten besteht in einer verbrecherischen Intrige der US-Regierung in der Form, dass durch das Todesurteil die Republikaner die anstehenden Wahlen des Abgeordnetenhauses gewinnen sollen.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| While these events come about, a renewed incursion of the Israeli Army into Palestine will occur whereby an evil massacre amongst the civilian population will be carried out in Beit Hanun and great destruction will come about in the city.&lt;br /&gt;
| Während sich diese Ereignisse zutragen, ergibt sich ein erneuter Einbruch der israelischen Armee in Palästina, wobei in Beit Hanun ein böses Massaker unter der Zivilbevölkerung angerichtet wird und in der Stadt grosse Zerstörungen entstehen.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| However, because the criminal acts will be condemned worldwide, these criminal Israeli machinations will be trivialized by Israel through lies to the effect that it concerned an oversight and a targeting failure.&lt;br /&gt;
| Diese verbrecherischen israelitischen Machenschaften jedoch werden, weil weltweit die Verbrechenshandlung verurteilt wird, von Israel durch die Lüge bagatellisiert werden in der Weise, dass es sich um ein Versehen und um einen Zielfehler handle.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| The USA will do the rest in regard to that so that Israel will not be publicly rebuked in the least by the UN for the crimes because the USA will veto such a motion.&lt;br /&gt;
| Den Rest dazu werden die USA tun, damit Israel nicht zumindest durch die UNO öffentlich für das Verbrechen gerügt wird, denn bei einem derartigen Antrag werden die USA ein Veto einlegen.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| The events will, however, lead to the Palestinian Hamas organization likewise breaking the negotiated cease-fire and newly threatening Israel with grave assassinations and also carrying these out.&lt;br /&gt;
| Das Geschehen wird aber dazu führen, dass die palästinesische Hamas-Organisation ebenfalls den ausgehandelten Waffenstillstand bricht und neuerlich mit schweren Attentaten gegen Israel droht und diese auch verübt.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Also the Arabic countries will remove their financial blockade against the Hamas organisation ...&lt;br /&gt;
| Auch werden die arabischen Staaten ihre Finanzblockade gegen die Hamas-Organisation widerrufen …&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Then still this information from a further conversation&lt;br /&gt;
| Dann noch diese Information aus einem weiteren Gespräch&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| That is indeed so.&lt;br /&gt;
| Das ist wohl so.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Yet tell me what you think in regard to Iraq?&lt;br /&gt;
| Doch sag mal, was du hinsichtlich des Irak denkst?&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| In my opinion the civil war down there has already long begun even if the entire thing is officially not yet labelled as such.&lt;br /&gt;
| Meines Erachtens hat der Bürgerkrieg dort unten schon lange begonnen, auch wenn das Ganze offiziell noch nicht so bezeichnet wird.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| That is actually the case, whereby it concerns a religio-political civil war which is led between the believers of the Sunnis and the Shiites, for which the USA alone carries the guilt, because this is the true initiator and through its irresponsible bellicose invasion and, through the occupation and exploitation of Iraq, it has thrown the entire country and the population into chaos.&lt;br /&gt;
| Das ist tatsächlich der Fall, wobei es sich um einen religiös-politischen Bürgerkrieg handelt, der zwischen den Gläubigen der Sunniten und den Schiiten geführt wird, woran die Schuld allein die USA tragen, weil diese die wahren Urheber sind und durch ihren verantwortungslosen kriegerischen Einfall und durch die Besetzung und Ausbeutung des Iraks das ganze Land und die Bevölkerung ins Chaos gestürzt haben.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| On the coming 23rd of November the civil war will take on even worse forms because on this day several murderous assassinations will result of which altogether, in Baghdad alone, 236 humans will fall victim, which, however, will be trivialized with a much lowered number by the USA and the new Iraqi government.&lt;br /&gt;
| Ab dem kommenden 23. November wird der Bürgerkrieg noch schlimmere Formen annehmen, denn an diesem Tag erfolgen mehrere mörderische Attentate, denen gesamthaft allein in Bagdad 236 Menschen zum Opfer fallen werden, was jedoch mit einer viel niedrigeren Zahl durch die USA und die neue Irak-Regierung bagatellisiert werden wird.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| That is, therefore, the extent of the extract from the contact conversation, about which there is indeed nothing further to add.&lt;br /&gt;
| Soweit also der Auszug des Kontaktgespräches, dem wohl weiter nichts hinzuzusetzen ist.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Equality for ALL&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
«All men are created equal» is a principle that we Americans have heard repeatedly throughout our lifetime. It appears in our Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson in 1776, and is considered the foundation of American democracy. This principle was intended to guarantee the basic freedoms and natural rights of all citizens of the United States. Many Americans, however, including women, ethnic minorities and people with lesser abilities, poorer education and little or no material possessions have been denied equality from day one of our national independence. As a matter of fact, the Father of our Constitution, James Madison, did his best to limit this universal principle to white, male property owners by inventing a principle of his own, known as the «unequal faculties of acquiring property», which he explained in ‹The Federalist no. 10›. According to this principle, property owners, who were solely wealthy white men back in 1787, are endowed with unequal faculties, from which their rights to acquire property originate. Furthermore, the first object of government, according to Madison, is the protection of these faculties. In other words, the main job of government is to protect the privileged property owners from the unprivileged populace (see «All Men Are Created Equal?» by Steven Hill).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Has equality in America improved since 1776? Well today, the top 20 percent of American earners take over half of the national income, while the bottom 20 percent only take 3.4 percent. Moreover, the U.S. has 269 billionaires, who live in unimaginable luxury, while 37 million Americans live below the poverty line, many of whom, by the way, work two or three jobs (see «37 Million Poor Hidden In The Land Of Plenty» by Paul Harris). On a global basis, the world&#039;s 356 richest families own 40 percent of humanity&#039;s wealth, while the remaining 7 billion members of our global family have to more or less fight for a slice of the rest of the pie. Nearly half of the human population is losing this fight and now lives in poverty. Inequality is the root cause of all discrimination, intolerance, disrespect, degradation, oppression, exploitation, mismanagement and slavery. Combined with a rapidly growing population, it inevitably leads to mass unemployment, the collapse of traditional social services like health care and old age assistance, a shortage of food, water, housing and energy and ultimately to poverty, hunger and disease. These consequences have already hit many of America&#039;s hard-working lower and middle class citizens, whereas the upper class continues to swim in luxury due to the unequal right of propertied citizens to acquire more wealth, more riches and more property than the rest of humanity, based on their unequal faculties. If we as Americans and as a global humanity do nothing to stop this inequality, it will lead us deeper and deeper into a quagmire of irreversible consequences that include tyranny, dictatorship, violence, greed, hatred, terror, global war, civil war, national dissolution and anarchy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s quite obvious that the problem of inequality hasn&#039;t changed much in America since 1776. Its consequences, however, are far worse today than ever before due to our far greater population. On July 4th, 1776, the population of the first 13 American colonies was about 2.5 million. Today, some 230 years later, the U.S. population has increased 120-fold to nearly 300 million. This extremely high growth rate becomes even more apparent when compared to the current American Indian population which is less than 3 million. As a result of this alarming increase in population, most people in our present-day, profit-oriented society have been reduced in value to mere cost factors. If the jobs we have cost big business owners too much, they&#039;re simply rationalized without regard to the human consequences for millions of families across the country. After all, profit maximization is of greater value today than a human being. Why turn a mere profit of millions or billion of dollars a year, when it&#039;s possible to double or triple that profit by simply out-sourcing local American jobs to countries where labor is cheap. On a global level, the problem of inequality is even worse: 20 percent of the population in developed nations consume 86 percent of the world&#039;s resources. How can we possibly divide our global pie equally among a rapidly growing family of over 7 billion members? It&#039;s downright impossible! And with a current global birthrate of 2.25 percent, by the year 3000, each person on earth will have less than 2 square centimeters of living space (see www.ueberbevoelkerung.at). That&#039;s why the first logical step to solving the problem of inequality is to establish a global commission of experts to draw up a truly humanitarian program of birth control with the aim of significantly reducing and maintaining our global population at a level where all the people of earth have enough to live on, so we can all lead a life that is truly worthy of human dignity. This global birth control program must equally apply to all nations and must be approved by the people, before it is put into practice. One example of such a program is a 7-year cycle birthrate check, which is explained in an article by Christian Frehner at&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
www.figu.org/us/overpopulation/birthrate_check.htm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to Articles 1 and 2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, all human beings are equal in dignity and rights, without distinction of any kind. This means that no human being is more valuable or less valuable than another human being, regardless of all differences, such as sex, age, race, belief, education, intelligence, abilities, skills, etc. All people are equal in dignity and worth and are therefore entitled to equal human rights, such as the right to equal treatment and equal respect as a human being, the right to equal opportunities in life, the right to equal education, equal health care, equal housing, equal wages, equal benefits, etc. According to Article 7 of the human-rights declaration, «all are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law». This means that the human rights of all people must be equally protected by the law.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of the increasing globalization, driven by profit maximization, combined with a rapidly growing world population and the rationalization of ever more jobs due to the advancement of computer and information technology (see interview with Jeremy Rifkin), the value of a human being in our society diminishes with each passing day, and this global trend is going from bad to worse, as our global birthrate continues to boom, while the job market gradually shrinks. In 1995, 800 million people were unemployed or underemployed worldwide, and in 2001, this number rose to over one billion. How can we stop this global trend and its devastating consequences? Certainly not by ignoring it or pretending it doesn&#039;t exist! We have to wake up and face reality. We are dealing with a ticking time bomb called overpopulation that only we can defuse and bring under control, if we start to use the common sense we were born with to develop an effective solution. If we do not reverse this trend and reduce our global population, all other problems we face today, including inequality, will only get worse and eventually become unsolvable. So instead of fighting each other for the last remaining resources on earth, let&#039;s tackle this problem with our ingenuity like rational human beings. We can easily do this by introducing a global birth control program, like the 7-year cycle birthrate check mentioned above. Such a measure would be of great help to us in our fight for equality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Human equality, by the way, also means that no work of any human being is more valuable or less valuable than the work of another human being. All work fulfills an important function in society and is therefore absolutely equal in value. Consequently, the work of every human being is an equally valuable contribution to society, be it the work of a computer specialist at Microsoft or a burger flipper at McDonalds. As a society, we are indebted to specialists like Bill Gates whenever we use a computer and we are equally indebted to our nation&#039;s burger flippers whenever we&#039;re on the go and need a quick meal. However, it&#039;s hard teaching young people that one job is just as valuable as another, when a privileged minority like Bill Gates rakes in billions of dollars a year, while millions of hard-working American families can barely make ends meet. In a truly democratic and humanitarian society, it&#039;s the right and the duty of every responsible citizen to question such inequality. After all, 37 million working Americans live below the poverty line, and that is unworthy of human dignity! If all work is equally valuable and worthy of human dignity, then why aren&#039;t all wages?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The prevailing wage inequality throughout the world stems from a false and arrogant assumption that certain jobs are more valuable than others because they allegedly require greater responsibility or a higher education. All jobs, however, require responsibility and know-how, whether it&#039;s the job of a teacher, a farmer, a musician, a writer, an office cleaner, a scientist, a street sweeper, a politician or whatever. Every human being fulfills an important function in society through his work, and viewed as a whole, no human being is more or less important or more or less valuable than another in the fulfillment of his work. Therefore, no work of any human being is better, higher, nobler, more important, more meaningful or more valuable than that of another. Every job is equally important and should therefore receive equal pay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Decisive in performing any work is the effort put forth. Therefore, all human beings have an equal obligation to perform their work to the best of their ability. In return, they should be paid according to the human effort they invest. This means that whoever performs a job to the best of his ability should be paid more than whoever performs a job far below his ability. A system based on rewarding human effort would be more just than the current system of rewarding performance alone because no two people are alike in their abilities and skills. Why should someone be punished with a lower wage for doing his best, when he is less skilled, or rewarded with a higher wage for performing below his potential, when he is more skilled? Besides, a fair system of payment, based on human effort, would be a great incentive for every human being to do his best at work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All people determine the course of their own life by the decisions and actions they take, and as human beings, we are all obliged to do what we can to fight injustice and to improve our situation in life. Since we alone carry the full responsibility for all of our problems in life, we should also be invested with the full power of self-governance, so we alone can determine the most effective solutions to our problems. After all, a real democracy is a government of the people, by the people and for the people. However, if we as a people choose to ignore our problems or expect other people, like politicians, to solve them for us, we will never overcome them. The people of the United States or any other nation of the world can easily put an end to the inequality they suffer by simply taking control of their own lives and practicing self-governance. The Swiss have been doing this for nearly 150 years now. (See Direct Democracy in Switzerland by Gregory Fossedal at www.adti.net/ddis/DDinSwitzerland_031203.htm and also www.direct-democracy. geschichte-schweiz.ch)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How can we acquire more self-governance? Well, we can start by promoting the organization of people&#039;s referendums at all levels of society, so all people can exercise their right to vote on world, national, state and local matters. That way, we the people no longer have to support the activities of political parties or leaders that no longer represent our interests or succumb to the whims of some big business that decides to rationalize jobs in our towns and communities. With people&#039;s referendums at world, national, state, county and local levels, we the people - not the politicians - decide whether we as a nation go to war, whether we approve of a particular tax or whether we permit big business to rationalize jobs in our communities. On a global level, we alone decide when and where to send our multinational peace-fighting troops to restore peace in the world (see «World Peace and Multinational Peace-Fighting Troops» by Barbara Harnisch and Billy Meier under ‹Friedenskampftruppen›). The power of a nation will therefore rest in the hands of the people and not the politicians or any other leaders. Our leaders, who must be wise and knowledgeable experts from all walks of life, will only serve in an advisory capacity to educate the population on all issues of concern to the people. They will only be permitted to bring ideas before the people and must then put them into action, once they are voted on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the help of people&#039;s referendums, we can even put an end to wage inequality. Fair wages for all can be achieved by organizing a nation-wide referendum to vote on this issue. Just think, if we vote for a maximum wage of 120,000 dollars a year in the United States, millions of new jobs can be created, and the wages of all workers can be raised to 50,000 dollars or more a year. This will not only improve the quality of living in America but it will also be a real incentive for all people, young and old, to find work and do their very best on the job. Similar referendums can be organized in all countries of the world. As a matter of fact, if equal wages are established globally, it will quickly put an end to all cheap labor and with it the outsourcing of our jobs and the exploitation of foreign workers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many people throughout the world have come up with great solutions to common problems that are just begging to be put into practice. As a matter of fact, the ingenuity of the common people is the most valuable asset of any nation. I&#039;ve heard better solutions to many of our world and national problems from secretaries, housewives and cleaning ladies than from most politicians. Walt Whitman described the common people with the following words: Genius, «is not best or most in its executives or legislatures, nor in its ambassadors or authors or colleges or churches or parlors, nor even in its newspapers or inventors … but always most in the common people.»&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All people have the right to practice self-determination and the responsibility to free themselves from all forms of tyranny so they can go on to accomplish all the things that free and sovereign people have ever dreamed of, such as true freedom, lasting peace and equality for all.&lt;br /&gt;

What is Direct Democracy?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Twelve Questions and Answers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(The following questions and answers are from the Direct Democracy Campaign)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q What is Direct Democracy?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Direct Democracy is a form of government under which we the people vote directly on many of the issues, unlike the existing Representative Democracy where we basically just vote for a political party to make all the decisions for us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q You mean it&#039;s about referendums?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Yes, that&#039;s the main bit, although it also encourages people to get more generally involved in running their communities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q So what is the Direct Democracy campaign?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A It&#039;s a campaign set up to work for direct democracy. It is not tied to any particular political cause or party, and there are many similar groups working for the same thing in other countries around the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q But why set up a new group when you could just as easily campaign from inside one of the political parties?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Because the leaders of the political parties are deeply opposed to direct democracy. After all, nobody likes having some of their powers taken away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q All right, but what are the advantages of Direct Democracy anyway?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Many! For a start, it means that voters are not just restricted to voting for a party manifesto once every four years or so, even when they disagree with many of the policies contained in it. Under Direct Democracy we will be able to vote for those policies we actually agree with, but against the ones we think are wrong. It means that politicians will not be able to get away with policies that the voters at large don&#039;t want. It means that voters themselves will be able to raise issues that the politicians are avoiding. It means…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q Hold on, are you saying that it won&#039;t just be the government who could call referendums?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Yes! Under Direct Democracy anybody can call a referendum, be they government or just an agreed percentage of the electorate signing a petition detailing the question to be asked. There is no reason why writing the question should always be in the hands of the politicians.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q Doesn&#039;t all this mean an awful lot of voting all the time?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Not really! In Switzerland the government deals with all the legislative details then puts the big questions to the voters to decide on, along with any issues which the voters themselves have raised. Voters vote up to four times a year, and in the future that will probably be done electronically from home, rather than having to traipse to the polling station every time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q So you&#039;re saying that Direct Democracy exists in Switzerland already?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Yes, they&#039;ve had it for nearly a hundred and fifty years now, and it not only works nationally, but they use it at county and local levels as well. The Swiss people really are in control of their government and local councils, not the other way round. The people vote on economic and social issues, on the constitution, foreign affairs, health, the environment, and also all the issues that crop up at the local level right down to planning applications. And the Swiss are not the only ones. Most democracies hold referendums at some time or another, but some hold far more than others. Recently Italy, Australia, Canada, France, Denmark and Ireland have held referendums, and over half of the states of the United States hold them on a regular basis as a way of making decisions on local issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q OK, this all sounds very fine, but surely the politicians know better than we do, what&#039;s right for the country?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A That&#039;s what they&#039;ll tell you of course, but ask yourself: If the politicians are so good at knowing what&#039;s best for the country, then why is it that the two parties are always going at each others throats, each insisting that the other one in government is totally incompetent? The reality is that we the voters would be just as good at making the decisions as they are, if not better. Remember that the Swiss are now the richest country per head of population in Europe. They don&#039;t seem to have done too badly with Direct Democracy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q But it&#039;s different here. We don&#039;t have a tradition of using referendums.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A No, but then we didn&#039;t have a tradition of votes for women either before we gave women the vote. Tradition must never be an excuse to avoid change. Today, we are better educated than ever before, more inclined to argue with our politicians and much more aware, via the media, of what&#039;s going on in the world. We have grown up, and it&#039;s time to start making decisions for ourselves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q All right, but what about all those pressure groups - big business and the like? Wouldn&#039;t they use money to influence the outcome of referendums?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A There are about 220 million voters in the U.S. So there is no way that pressure groups can influence that many people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q OK, so what can I do to help?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Lots of things! Today we have only partial democracy. Internationally, Direct Democracy is the way of the future, but because our government institutions are so deeply entrenched, it will only happen here in the near future if we make it. Direct Democracy itself is about each of us playing our part. So with or without the politicians&#039; agreement, let&#039;s get to work.

| &#039;&#039;&#039;Reader&#039;s question&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Leserfrage&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Do you still maintain contacts with the Plejaren, and are there new statements from them regarding the atom bomb tests in North Korea, and are there any predictions about the US House of Representatives/Senate elections, and, what is the status of the prophecy in regard to the Third World War which is prophesied for the year 2006?&lt;br /&gt;
| Pflegen Sie immer noch Kontakte mit den Plejaren und gibt es von diesen neue Aussagen bezüglich der Atombombentests in Nordkorea, und gibt es irgendwelche Voraussagen auf die US-Abgerordnetenwahlen sowie den Stand der Prophetie in bezug des Dritten Weltkrieges, der für das Jahr 2006 prophezeit ist?&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;

| &#039;&#039;P. Trachsel, Schweiz&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Antwort&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Naturally the contacts with the Plejaren still always continue and will also further exist until the point in time when I exit from the scene.&lt;br /&gt;
| Natürlich bestehen die Kontakte zu den Plejaren noch immer und werden auch weiterbestehen bis zu dem Zeitpunkt, da ich von der Bildfläche abtrete.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| The latest visit and the latest contact conversation took place four days ago, therefore I want to quote something in line with your question from the official [[Contact Report 436|contact conversation No. 436]], from October 15th, because it has something to report regarding your several-part question as well as also in regard to other things, however, which were not addressed by you, whereby it is simplest to convey the following extract from the contact conversation:&lt;br /&gt;
| Der letzte Besuch und das letzte Kontaktgespräch fand vor vier Tagen statt, weshalb ich aus dem offiziellen Kontaktgespräch Nr. 436 vom 15. Oktober etwas gemäss Ihrer Frage zitieren will, denn es gibt bezüglich Ihrer mehrteiligen Frage einiges zu berichten, wie aber auch hinsichtlich anderer Dinge, die von Ihnen nicht angesprochen wurden, wobei es am einfachsten ist, folgenden Auszug aus dem Kontaktgespräch widerzugeben:&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| But there is still North Korea in regard to which you say that the atom bomb test had been feigned, however, in spite of that, an uproar arose around the world.&lt;br /&gt;
| Da ist aber noch Nordkorea, wozu du sagtest, dass der Atombombentest ein fingierter gewesen sei, dass aber trotzdem rund um die Welt ein Aufruhr entstehe.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Allegedly, however, atomic particles were indeed confirmed to be in the atmosphere, for which reason I wonder why you say the entire thing is only feigned - have I perhaps wrongly understood something in regard to this, because by feigned I understand that something is simulated?&lt;br /&gt;
| Angeblich wurden aber doch atomare Partikel in der Atmosphäre festgestellt, weshalb ich mich wundere, dass du sagtest, das Ganze sei nur fingiert - verstehe ich diesbezüglich vielleicht etwas Falsches, denn unter fingiert verstehe ich, dass etwas vorgetäuscht wird?&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Your understanding corresponds also to that which I have addressed with feigned, because with the so-called test of atom bombs it did not deal with a large atomic bomb, rather with a small test object which, among other things, must also be labelled a target object and an object of provocation which demonstrates less than a kiloton of explosive material, which is ridiculously little and cannot be designated as an actual atom bomb, rather only as an object of deception, with which, additionally, commercial explosives still played a certain role.&lt;br /&gt;
| Dein Verständnis entspricht auch dem, was ich mit fingiert angesprochen habe, denn bei dem sogenannten Atombombentest handelte es sich nicht um eine grosse atomare Bombe, sondern um ein kleines Testobjekt, das unter anderem auch als Zweckobjekt und als Provokationsobjekt bezeichnet werden muss, das weniger als eine Kilotonne Sprengmasse aufwies, was lächerlich gering ist und nicht als eigentliche Atombombe bezeichnet werden kann, sondern nur als Täuschungsobjekt, bei dem zudem noch kommerzieller Sprengstoff eine gewisse Rolle spielte.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| As a matter of fact the entire thing was only calculatingly arranged in order, on one hand, to provoke the countries who are leading in regard to atomic weapons, and on the other hand, in order to warn the USA that North Korea could hit back atomically should they attack the country.&lt;br /&gt;
| Tatsächlich wurde das Ganze berechnend nur veranstaltet, um einerseits die führenden Staaten in bezug auf Atomwaffen zu provozieren, und andererseits, um die USA zu warnen, dass Nordkorea atomar zurückschlagen könnte, sollten diese das Land angreifen.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| That thereby, however, the world was transferred into uproar, is an effect which was not adequately born in mind and which can bring great damage for North Korea which, firstly, at the least, will be as a result of sanctions, whereby, however, North Korea will again feel justified in announcing further atomic actions and making loud threats.&lt;br /&gt;
| Dass aber damit die Welt in Aufruhr versetzt wurde, ist ein Effekt, der nicht genügend berücksichtigt wurde, und der für Nordkorea grossen Schaden bringen kann, was erstlich zumindest noch durch Sanktionen sein wird, wodurch sich aber Nordkorea wieder bestätigt fühlen wird, um weitere atomare Aktionen anzukünden und Drohungen lautbar werden zu lassen.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| A dangerous matter, for which, however, primarily the USA carries the guilt, I think.&lt;br /&gt;
| Eine gefährliche Sache, woran jedoch hauptsächlich die USA die Schuld tragen, meine ich.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Actually the USA, with its delusion that it plays the role of world police and must snatch world control for itself, is to blame for all that which is evil and bad which it officially brings about in North Korea, in Afghanistan, in Iran and in Iraq, as well as in various other countries of the Earth politically, militarily and seditiously, and will yet further bring about.&lt;br /&gt;
| Tatsächlich sind die USA mit ihrem Wahn, dass sie die Rolle einer Weltpolizei spielen und die Weltherrschaft an sich reissen müssten, schuld an all dem, was sich offiziell an Üblem und Bösem in Nordkorea, in Afghanistan, im Iran und im Irak sowie in verschiedenen anderen Staaten der Erde politisch, militärisch und aufständisch zuträgt und sich noch weiter zutragen wird.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Also to say, in regard to that, is that the irresponsible US President George W. Bush, through a corresponding law, openly supports torture as an interrogation method of prisoners, and indeed especially of political prisoners who are accused of terror.&lt;br /&gt;
| Diesbezüglich ist auch zu sagen, dass der verantwortungslose US-Präsident George W. Bush durch ein entsprechendes Gesetz offen die Folter als Befragungsmethode von Gefangenen befürwortet, und zwar speziell von politischen Gefangenen, die des Terrors verdächtigt werden.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Also, future so-called terror processes are intended to be carried out through military courts.&lt;br /&gt;
| Auch sollen künftighin sogenannte Terror-Prozesse durch Militärgerichte durchgeführt werden können.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| The corresponding law is already worked out and Bush&#039;s signature is as good as given whereby the monstrosity can come into power and the USA can yet further, and more cruelly, ignore all human rights.&lt;br /&gt;
| Das entsprechende Gesetz ist bereits ausgearbeitet, und die Unterschrift Bushs ist so gut wie gegeben, wodurch die Ungeheuerlichkeit in Kraft treten und die USA sich noch weiter und grausamer über alle Menschenrechte hinwegsetzen können.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Further to report is that US President Bush drives his megalomania and delusion of power so far, making it publicly known that space belongs to the USA and, so to say, nobody has the right to use it apart from the USA.&lt;br /&gt;
| Weiter ist zu berichten, dass US-Präsident Bush seinen Grössen- und Machtwahn soweit treibt, öffentlich bekanntzugeben, dass der Weltenraum den USA gehöre und sozusagen niemand das Recht habe, ausser den USA, diesen zu nutzen.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Further, this completely irresponsible sectarian signs a document to the effect that a fence, well over 1000 kilometers long, will be erected on the Mexican border in order to hold back the unwanted Mexican economic refugees from reaching the USA and for which the Israelis&#039; wall against Palestine, as well as the former East Germany&#039;s wall against West Germany, serve as criminal models for the USA.&lt;br /&gt;
| Weiter unterschreibt dieser völlig verantwortungslose Sektierer ein Dokument, demgemäss an der mexikanischen Grenze ein weit über 1000 Kilometer langer Zaun errichtet wird, wozu die Mauer der Israelis gegen Palästina sowie die Mauer der ehemaligen DDR gegen West-Deutschland den USA als verbrecherisches Vorbild dient, um unerwünschte mexikanische Wirtschaftsflüchtlinge davon abzuhalten, in die USA zu gelangen.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| There is, beside all this, however, something good in regard to the USA to nevertheless report, as I have already explained to you in a quite private way in the 428th contact conversation on the 10th of July of this year; namely, that in the beginning of November, with the election in the USA&#039;s House of Representatives/Senate, the irresponsible US president Bush, as well as his vassals and all his Republican followers, will suffer a grave defeat and the Democrats will win the upper hand.&lt;br /&gt;
| Etwas Gutes ist in bezug auf die USA nebenbei jedoch trotzdem einmal zu berichten, wie ich dir bereits beim 428. Kontaktgespräch am 10. Juli dieses Jahres in ganz privater Weise erklärt habe, nämlich dass Anfangs November bei den Wahlen im Abgeordnetenhaus der USA der verantwortungslose US-Präsident Bush sowie seine Vasallen und all seine republikanischen Anhänger eine schwere Niederlage erleiden und die Demokraten die Oberhand gewinnen werden.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Thereby it will be that the Bush government&#039;s secret and crazy plans can no longer be translated into reality, whereby many factors fall away through which a Third World War still threatened before the end of the year 2006.&lt;br /&gt;
| Dadurch ergibt sich, dass geheime und verruchte Pläne der Bush-Regierung nicht mehr in die Wirklichkeit umgesetzt werden können, wodurch viele Faktoren wegfallen, durch die noch vor Ende des Jahres 2006 ein Dritter Weltkrieg drohte.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Therefore the prophecy, that this year this war threatened, will not be fulfilled.&lt;br /&gt;
| Also wird sich die Prophetie nicht erfüllen, die diesen Krieg für dieses Jahr androhte.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| That this extensive war will, however, not come to be, will actually only be thanks to all those who vote for the Democrats in the USA and thereby will show the war-mongering Republicans, together with their President and his vassals, the boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;
| Das jedoch, dass dieser umfassende Krieg nicht stattfinden wird, wird tatsächlich nur all jenen zu verdanken sein, die in den USA die Demokraten wählen und damit die kriegshetzenden Republikaner samt ihrem Präsidenten und seinen Vasallen in die Schranken weisen werden.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Were that not to happen, then the Third World War, which Bush would actually still launch in November, if the Republicans could win the election, would not be avoided.&lt;br /&gt;
| Würde das nicht sein, dann wäre der Dritte Weltkrieg nicht zu vermeiden, den Bush tatsächlich noch im November vom Stapel brechen würde, wenn die Republikaner die Wahlen gewinnen könnten.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| His defeat by the Democrats, however, will bind his hands and restrict him in his murderous and criminal behaviour such that the prophecy will not be fulfilled.&lt;br /&gt;
| Seine Niederlage durch die Demokraten aber wird ihm die Hände binden und ihn in seinem mörderischen und verbrecherischen Handeln derart einschränken, dass sich die Prophetie nicht erfüllen wird.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Nevertheless, however, factors threaten again in later years which could indeed still lead to a Third World War, whereby, however, it is to hope that also then the Earth humans&#039; reason is victorious and the right thing will be done by all who can bring their influence to bear.&lt;br /&gt;
| Nichtsdestoweniger drohen jedoch zu späteren Jahren wieder Faktoren, die doch noch zu einem Dritten Weltkrieg führen könnten, wobei jedoch zu hoffen ist, dass auch dann die Vernunft der Erdenmenschen siegt und von all jenen das Richtige getan wird, die ihren Einfluss geltend machen können.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Nevertheless, however, still other dangers threaten which can have malignant worldwide effects, as, for example, the fact that the irresponsible powers of Israel have worked out secret plans regarding a rocket and air-force attack against the atomic facilities in Iran.&lt;br /&gt;
| Nichtsdestoweniger jedoch drohen noch andere Gefahren, die bösartig weltweite Auswirkungen haben können, wie z.B. die Tatsache, dass die verantwortungslosen Mächte Israels geheime Pläne ausgearbeitet haben hinsichtlich einer Raketen- und Luftwaffenattacke gegen die Atomanlagen im Iran.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| However, what comes of that in the short term is still not apparent.&lt;br /&gt;
| Was sich jedoch daraus ergibt, ist über kurze Zeit hinweg noch nicht ersichtlich.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| At any rate, such an attack will be supported by the USA, that is certain, because it then does not have to directly interfere in this, and the blame can be shifted onto Israel if something goes awry.&lt;br /&gt;
| Jedenfalls wird eine solche Attacke durch die USA befürwortet, das steht fest, weil sich diese dann nicht direkt einmischen müssen und die Schuld auf Israel abwälzen können, wenn etwas schief geht.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Further, in the beginning of November, in Iraq, as a result of pressure from the USA government, Saddam Hussein will be condemned to death, along with all who were his closest co-workers.&lt;br /&gt;
| Weiter wird Anfang November im Irak auf Drängen der USA-Regierung hin Saddam Husain zum Tode verurteilt, nebst jenen, welche seine engsten Mitarbeiter waren.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| The US American pressure on the court in Iraq, and in regard to the death penalty strived for by the USA against Hussein and his allies, consists of a US government criminal intrigue in the form that, as a result of the death penalty, the republicans are supposed to win the planned House of Representatives/Senate elections.&lt;br /&gt;
| Der US-amerikanische Druck auf das Gericht im Irak und in bezug auf das von den USA angestrebte Todesurteil gegen Husain und seine Verbündeten besteht in einer verbrecherischen Intrige der US-Regierung in der Form, dass durch das Todesurteil die Republikaner die anstehenden Wahlen des Abgeordnetenhauses gewinnen sollen.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| While these events come about, a renewed incursion of the Israeli Army into Palestine will occur whereby an evil massacre amongst the civilian population will be carried out in Beit Hanun and great destruction will come about in the city.&lt;br /&gt;
| Während sich diese Ereignisse zutragen, ergibt sich ein erneuter Einbruch der israelischen Armee in Palästina, wobei in Beit Hanun ein böses Massaker unter der Zivilbevölkerung angerichtet wird und in der Stadt grosse Zerstörungen entstehen.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| However, because the criminal acts will be condemned worldwide, these criminal Israeli machinations will be trivialized by Israel through lies to the effect that it concerned an oversight and a targeting failure.&lt;br /&gt;
| Diese verbrecherischen israelitischen Machenschaften jedoch werden, weil weltweit die Verbrechenshandlung verurteilt wird, von Israel durch die Lüge bagatellisiert werden in der Weise, dass es sich um ein Versehen und um einen Zielfehler handle.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| The USA will do the rest in regard to that so that Israel will not be publicly rebuked in the least by the UN for the crimes because the USA will veto such a motion.&lt;br /&gt;
| Den Rest dazu werden die USA tun, damit Israel nicht zumindest durch die UNO öffentlich für das Verbrechen gerügt wird, denn bei einem derartigen Antrag werden die USA ein Veto einlegen.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| The events will, however, lead to the Palestinian Hamas organization likewise breaking the negotiated cease-fire and newly threatening Israel with grave assassinations and also carrying these out.&lt;br /&gt;
| Das Geschehen wird aber dazu führen, dass die palästinesische Hamas-Organisation ebenfalls den ausgehandelten Waffenstillstand bricht und neuerlich mit schweren Attentaten gegen Israel droht und diese auch verübt.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Also the Arabic countries will remove their financial blockade against the Hamas organisation ...&lt;br /&gt;
| Auch werden die arabischen Staaten ihre Finanzblockade gegen die Hamas-Organisation widerrufen …&lt;br /&gt;

|-&lt;br /&gt;
| That is indeed so.&lt;br /&gt;
| Das ist wohl so.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Yet tell me what you think in regard to Iraq?&lt;br /&gt;
| Doch sag mal, was du hinsichtlich des Irak denkst?&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| In my opinion the civil war down there has already long begun even if the entire thing is officially not yet labelled as such.&lt;br /&gt;
| Meines Erachtens hat der Bürgerkrieg dort unten schon lange begonnen, auch wenn das Ganze offiziell noch nicht so bezeichnet wird.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| That is actually the case, whereby it concerns a religio-political civil war which is led between the believers of the Sunnis and the Shiites, for which the USA alone carries the guilt, because this is the true initiator and through its irresponsible bellicose invasion and, through the occupation and exploitation of Iraq, it has thrown the entire country and the population into chaos.&lt;br /&gt;
| Das ist tatsächlich der Fall, wobei es sich um einen religiös-politischen Bürgerkrieg handelt, der zwischen den Gläubigen der Sunniten und den Schiiten geführt wird, woran die Schuld allein die USA tragen, weil diese die wahren Urheber sind und durch ihren verantwortungslosen kriegerischen Einfall und durch die Besetzung und Ausbeutung des Iraks das ganze Land und die Bevölkerung ins Chaos gestürzt haben.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| On the coming 23rd of November the civil war will take on even worse forms because on this day several murderous assassinations will result of which altogether, in Baghdad alone, 236 humans will fall victim, which, however, will be trivialized with a much lowered number by the USA and the new Iraqi government.&lt;br /&gt;
| Ab dem kommenden 23. November wird der Bürgerkrieg noch schlimmere Formen annehmen, denn an diesem Tag erfolgen mehrere mörderische Attentate, denen gesamthaft allein in Bagdad 236 Menschen zum Opfer fallen werden, was jedoch mit einer viel niedrigeren Zahl durch die USA und die neue Irak-Regierung bagatellisiert werden wird.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| That is, therefore, the extent of the extract from the contact conversation, about which there is indeed nothing further to add.&lt;br /&gt;
| Soweit also der Auszug des Kontaktgespräches, dem wohl weiter nichts hinzuzusetzen ist.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Equality for ALL&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
«All men are created equal» is a principle that we Americans have heard repeatedly throughout our lifetime. It appears in our Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson in 1776, and is considered the foundation of American democracy. This principle was intended to guarantee the basic freedoms and natural rights of all citizens of the United States. Many Americans, however, including women, ethnic minorities and people with lesser abilities, poorer education and little or no material possessions have been denied equality from day one of our national independence. As a matter of fact, the Father of our Constitution, James Madison, did his best to limit this universal principle to white, male property owners by inventing a principle of his own, known as the «unequal faculties of acquiring property», which he explained in ‹The Federalist no. 10›. According to this principle, property owners, who were solely wealthy white men back in 1787, are endowed with unequal faculties, from which their rights to acquire property originate. Furthermore, the first object of government, according to Madison, is the protection of these faculties. In other words, the main job of government is to protect the privileged property owners from the unprivileged populace (see «All Men Are Created Equal?» by Steven Hill).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Has equality in America improved since 1776? Well today, the top 20 percent of American earners take over half of the national income, while the bottom 20 percent only take 3.4 percent. Moreover, the U.S. has 269 billionaires, who live in unimaginable luxury, while 37 million Americans live below the poverty line, many of whom, by the way, work two or three jobs (see «37 Million Poor Hidden In The Land Of Plenty» by Paul Harris). On a global basis, the world&#039;s 356 richest families own 40 percent of humanity&#039;s wealth, while the remaining 7 billion members of our global family have to more or less fight for a slice of the rest of the pie. Nearly half of the human population is losing this fight and now lives in poverty. Inequality is the root cause of all discrimination, intolerance, disrespect, degradation, oppression, exploitation, mismanagement and slavery. Combined with a rapidly growing population, it inevitably leads to mass unemployment, the collapse of traditional social services like health care and old age assistance, a shortage of food, water, housing and energy and ultimately to poverty, hunger and disease. These consequences have already hit many of America&#039;s hard-working lower and middle class citizens, whereas the upper class continues to swim in luxury due to the unequal right of propertied citizens to acquire more wealth, more riches and more property than the rest of humanity, based on their unequal faculties. If we as Americans and as a global humanity do nothing to stop this inequality, it will lead us deeper and deeper into a quagmire of irreversible consequences that include tyranny, dictatorship, violence, greed, hatred, terror, global war, civil war, national dissolution and anarchy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s quite obvious that the problem of inequality hasn&#039;t changed much in America since 1776. Its consequences, however, are far worse today than ever before due to our far greater population. On July 4th, 1776, the population of the first 13 American colonies was about 2.5 million. Today, some 230 years later, the U.S. population has increased 120-fold to nearly 300 million. This extremely high growth rate becomes even more apparent when compared to the current American Indian population which is less than 3 million. As a result of this alarming increase in population, most people in our present-day, profit-oriented society have been reduced in value to mere cost factors. If the jobs we have cost big business owners too much, they&#039;re simply rationalized without regard to the human consequences for millions of families across the country. After all, profit maximization is of greater value today than a human being. Why turn a mere profit of millions or billion of dollars a year, when it&#039;s possible to double or triple that profit by simply out-sourcing local American jobs to countries where labor is cheap. On a global level, the problem of inequality is even worse: 20 percent of the population in developed nations consume 86 percent of the world&#039;s resources. How can we possibly divide our global pie equally among a rapidly growing family of over 7 billion members? It&#039;s downright impossible! And with a current global birthrate of 2.25 percent, by the year 3000, each person on earth will have less than 2 square centimeters of living space (see www.ueberbevoelkerung.at). That&#039;s why the first logical step to solving the problem of inequality is to establish a global commission of experts to draw up a truly humanitarian program of birth control with the aim of significantly reducing and maintaining our global population at a level where all the people of earth have enough to live on, so we can all lead a life that is truly worthy of human dignity. This global birth control program must equally apply to all nations and must be approved by the people, before it is put into practice. One example of such a program is a 7-year cycle birthrate check, which is explained in an article by Christian Frehner at&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
www.figu.org/us/overpopulation/birthrate_check.htm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to Articles 1 and 2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, all human beings are equal in dignity and rights, without distinction of any kind. This means that no human being is more valuable or less valuable than another human being, regardless of all differences, such as sex, age, race, belief, education, intelligence, abilities, skills, etc. All people are equal in dignity and worth and are therefore entitled to equal human rights, such as the right to equal treatment and equal respect as a human being, the right to equal opportunities in life, the right to equal education, equal health care, equal housing, equal wages, equal benefits, etc. According to Article 7 of the human-rights declaration, «all are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law». This means that the human rights of all people must be equally protected by the law.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of the increasing globalization, driven by profit maximization, combined with a rapidly growing world population and the rationalization of ever more jobs due to the advancement of computer and information technology (see interview with Jeremy Rifkin), the value of a human being in our society diminishes with each passing day, and this global trend is going from bad to worse, as our global birthrate continues to boom, while the job market gradually shrinks. In 1995, 800 million people were unemployed or underemployed worldwide, and in 2001, this number rose to over one billion. How can we stop this global trend and its devastating consequences? Certainly not by ignoring it or pretending it doesn&#039;t exist! We have to wake up and face reality. We are dealing with a ticking time bomb called overpopulation that only we can defuse and bring under control, if we start to use the common sense we were born with to develop an effective solution. If we do not reverse this trend and reduce our global population, all other problems we face today, including inequality, will only get worse and eventually become unsolvable. So instead of fighting each other for the last remaining resources on earth, let&#039;s tackle this problem with our ingenuity like rational human beings. We can easily do this by introducing a global birth control program, like the 7-year cycle birthrate check mentioned above. Such a measure would be of great help to us in our fight for equality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Human equality, by the way, also means that no work of any human being is more valuable or less valuable than the work of another human being. All work fulfills an important function in society and is therefore absolutely equal in value. Consequently, the work of every human being is an equally valuable contribution to society, be it the work of a computer specialist at Microsoft or a burger flipper at McDonalds. As a society, we are indebted to specialists like Bill Gates whenever we use a computer and we are equally indebted to our nation&#039;s burger flippers whenever we&#039;re on the go and need a quick meal. However, it&#039;s hard teaching young people that one job is just as valuable as another, when a privileged minority like Bill Gates rakes in billions of dollars a year, while millions of hard-working American families can barely make ends meet. In a truly democratic and humanitarian society, it&#039;s the right and the duty of every responsible citizen to question such inequality. After all, 37 million working Americans live below the poverty line, and that is unworthy of human dignity! If all work is equally valuable and worthy of human dignity, then why aren&#039;t all wages?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The prevailing wage inequality throughout the world stems from a false and arrogant assumption that certain jobs are more valuable than others because they allegedly require greater responsibility or a higher education. All jobs, however, require responsibility and know-how, whether it&#039;s the job of a teacher, a farmer, a musician, a writer, an office cleaner, a scientist, a street sweeper, a politician or whatever. Every human being fulfills an important function in society through his work, and viewed as a whole, no human being is more or less important or more or less valuable than another in the fulfillment of his work. Therefore, no work of any human being is better, higher, nobler, more important, more meaningful or more valuable than that of another. Every job is equally important and should therefore receive equal pay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Decisive in performing any work is the effort put forth. Therefore, all human beings have an equal obligation to perform their work to the best of their ability. In return, they should be paid according to the human effort they invest. This means that whoever performs a job to the best of his ability should be paid more than whoever performs a job far below his ability. A system based on rewarding human effort would be more just than the current system of rewarding performance alone because no two people are alike in their abilities and skills. Why should someone be punished with a lower wage for doing his best, when he is less skilled, or rewarded with a higher wage for performing below his potential, when he is more skilled? Besides, a fair system of payment, based on human effort, would be a great incentive for every human being to do his best at work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All people determine the course of their own life by the decisions and actions they take, and as human beings, we are all obliged to do what we can to fight injustice and to improve our situation in life. Since we alone carry the full responsibility for all of our problems in life, we should also be invested with the full power of self-governance, so we alone can determine the most effective solutions to our problems. After all, a real democracy is a government of the people, by the people and for the people. However, if we as a people choose to ignore our problems or expect other people, like politicians, to solve them for us, we will never overcome them. The people of the United States or any other nation of the world can easily put an end to the inequality they suffer by simply taking control of their own lives and practicing self-governance. The Swiss have been doing this for nearly 150 years now. (See Direct Democracy in Switzerland by Gregory Fossedal at www.adti.net/ddis/DDinSwitzerland_031203.htm and also www.direct-democracy. geschichte-schweiz.ch)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How can we acquire more self-governance? Well, we can start by promoting the organization of people&#039;s referendums at all levels of society, so all people can exercise their right to vote on world, national, state and local matters. That way, we the people no longer have to support the activities of political parties or leaders that no longer represent our interests or succumb to the whims of some big business that decides to rationalize jobs in our towns and communities. With people&#039;s referendums at world, national, state, county and local levels, we the people - not the politicians - decide whether we as a nation go to war, whether we approve of a particular tax or whether we permit big business to rationalize jobs in our communities. On a global level, we alone decide when and where to send our multinational peace-fighting troops to restore peace in the world (see «World Peace and Multinational Peace-Fighting Troops» by Barbara Harnisch and Billy Meier under ‹Friedenskampftruppen›). The power of a nation will therefore rest in the hands of the people and not the politicians or any other leaders. Our leaders, who must be wise and knowledgeable experts from all walks of life, will only serve in an advisory capacity to educate the population on all issues of concern to the people. They will only be permitted to bring ideas before the people and must then put them into action, once they are voted on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the help of people&#039;s referendums, we can even put an end to wage inequality. Fair wages for all can be achieved by organizing a nation-wide referendum to vote on this issue. Just think, if we vote for a maximum wage of 120,000 dollars a year in the United States, millions of new jobs can be created, and the wages of all workers can be raised to 50,000 dollars or more a year. This will not only improve the quality of living in America but it will also be a real incentive for all people, young and old, to find work and do their very best on the job. Similar referendums can be organized in all countries of the world. As a matter of fact, if equal wages are established globally, it will quickly put an end to all cheap labor and with it the outsourcing of our jobs and the exploitation of foreign workers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many people throughout the world have come up with great solutions to common problems that are just begging to be put into practice. As a matter of fact, the ingenuity of the common people is the most valuable asset of any nation. I&#039;ve heard better solutions to many of our world and national problems from secretaries, housewives and cleaning ladies than from most politicians. Walt Whitman described the common people with the following words: Genius, «is not best or most in its executives or legislatures, nor in its ambassadors or authors or colleges or churches or parlors, nor even in its newspapers or inventors … but always most in the common people.»&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All people have the right to practice self-determination and the responsibility to free themselves from all forms of tyranny so they can go on to accomplish all the things that free and sovereign people have ever dreamed of, such as true freedom, lasting peace and equality for all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What is Direct Democracy?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Twelve Questions and Answers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(The following questions and answers are from the Direct Democracy Campaign)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q What is Direct Democracy?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Direct Democracy is a form of government under which we the people vote directly on many of the issues, unlike the existing Representative Democracy where we basically just vote for a political party to make all the decisions for us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q You mean it&#039;s about referendums?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Yes, that&#039;s the main bit, although it also encourages people to get more generally involved in running their communities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q So what is the Direct Democracy campaign?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A It&#039;s a campaign set up to work for direct democracy. It is not tied to any particular political cause or party, and there are many similar groups working for the same thing in other countries around the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q But why set up a new group when you could just as easily campaign from inside one of the political parties?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Because the leaders of the political parties are deeply opposed to direct democracy. After all, nobody likes having some of their powers taken away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q All right, but what are the advantages of Direct Democracy anyway?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Many! For a start, it means that voters are not just restricted to voting for a party manifesto once every four years or so, even when they disagree with many of the policies contained in it. Under Direct Democracy we will be able to vote for those policies we actually agree with, but against the ones we think are wrong. It means that politicians will not be able to get away with policies that the voters at large don&#039;t want. It means that voters themselves will be able to raise issues that the politicians are avoiding. It means…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q Hold on, are you saying that it won&#039;t just be the government who could call referendums?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Yes! Under Direct Democracy anybody can call a referendum, be they government or just an agreed percentage of the electorate signing a petition detailing the question to be asked. There is no reason why writing the question should always be in the hands of the politicians.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q Doesn&#039;t all this mean an awful lot of voting all the time?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Not really! In Switzerland the government deals with all the legislative details then puts the big questions to the voters to decide on, along with any issues which the voters themselves have raised. Voters vote up to four times a year, and in the future that will probably be done electronically from home, rather than having to traipse to the polling station every time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q So you&#039;re saying that Direct Democracy exists in Switzerland already?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Yes, they&#039;ve had it for nearly a hundred and fifty years now, and it not only works nationally, but they use it at county and local levels as well. The Swiss people really are in control of their government and local councils, not the other way round. The people vote on economic and social issues, on the constitution, foreign affairs, health, the environment, and also all the issues that crop up at the local level right down to planning applications. And the Swiss are not the only ones. Most democracies hold referendums at some time or another, but some hold far more than others. Recently Italy, Australia, Canada, France, Denmark and Ireland have held referendums, and over half of the states of the United States hold them on a regular basis as a way of making decisions on local issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q OK, this all sounds very fine, but surely the politicians know better than we do, what&#039;s right for the country?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A That&#039;s what they&#039;ll tell you of course, but ask yourself: If the politicians are so good at knowing what&#039;s best for the country, then why is it that the two parties are always going at each others throats, each insisting that the other one in government is totally incompetent? The reality is that we the voters would be just as good at making the decisions as they are, if not better. Remember that the Swiss are now the richest country per head of population in Europe. They don&#039;t seem to have done too badly with Direct Democracy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q But it&#039;s different here. We don&#039;t have a tradition of using referendums.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A No, but then we didn&#039;t have a tradition of votes for women either before we gave women the vote. Tradition must never be an excuse to avoid change. Today, we are better educated than ever before, more inclined to argue with our politicians and much more aware, via the media, of what&#039;s going on in the world. We have grown up, and it&#039;s time to start making decisions for ourselves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q All right, but what about all those pressure groups - big business and the like? Wouldn&#039;t they use money to influence the outcome of referendums?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A There are about 220 million voters in the U.S. So there is no way that pressure groups can influence that many people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q OK, so what can I do to help?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Lots of things! Today we have only partial democracy. Internationally, Direct Democracy is the way of the future, but because our government institutions are so deeply entrenched, it will only happen here in the near future if we make it. Direct Democracy itself is about each of us playing our part. So with or without the politicians&#039; agreement, let&#039;s get to work.

| Do you still maintain contacts with the Plejaren, and are there new statements from them regarding the atom bomb tests in North Korea, and are there any predictions about the US House of Representatives/Senate elections, and, what is the status of the prophecy in regard to the Third World War which is prophesied for the year 2006?&lt;br /&gt;
| Pflegen Sie immer noch Kontakte mit den Plejaren und gibt es von diesen neue Aussagen bezüglich der Atombombentests in Nordkorea, und gibt es irgendwelche Voraussagen auf die US-Abgerordnetenwahlen sowie den Stand der Prophetie in bezug des Dritten Weltkrieges, der für das Jahr 2006 prophezeit ist?&lt;br /&gt;

| &#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Antwort&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Naturally the contacts with the Plejaren still always continue and will also further exist until the point in time when I exit from the scene.&lt;br /&gt;
| Natürlich bestehen die Kontakte zu den Plejaren noch immer und werden auch weiterbestehen bis zu dem Zeitpunkt, da ich von der Bildfläche abtrete.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| The latest visit and the latest contact conversation took place four days ago, therefore I want to quote something in line with your question from the official [[Contact Report 436|contact conversation No. 436]], from October 15th, because it has something to report regarding your several-part question as well as also in regard to other things, however, which were not addressed by you, whereby it is simplest to convey the following extract from the contact conversation:&lt;br /&gt;
| Der letzte Besuch und das letzte Kontaktgespräch fand vor vier Tagen statt, weshalb ich aus dem offiziellen Kontaktgespräch Nr. 436 vom 15. Oktober etwas gemäss Ihrer Frage zitieren will, denn es gibt bezüglich Ihrer mehrteiligen Frage einiges zu berichten, wie aber auch hinsichtlich anderer Dinge, die von Ihnen nicht angesprochen wurden, wobei es am einfachsten ist, folgenden Auszug aus dem Kontaktgespräch widerzugeben:&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| But there is still North Korea in regard to which you say that the atom bomb test had been feigned, however, in spite of that, an uproar arose around the world.&lt;br /&gt;
| Da ist aber noch Nordkorea, wozu du sagtest, dass der Atombombentest ein fingierter gewesen sei, dass aber trotzdem rund um die Welt ein Aufruhr entstehe.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Allegedly, however, atomic particles were indeed confirmed to be in the atmosphere, for which reason I wonder why you say the entire thing is only feigned - have I perhaps wrongly understood something in regard to this, because by feigned I understand that something is simulated?&lt;br /&gt;
| Angeblich wurden aber doch atomare Partikel in der Atmosphäre festgestellt, weshalb ich mich wundere, dass du sagtest, das Ganze sei nur fingiert - verstehe ich diesbezüglich vielleicht etwas Falsches, denn unter fingiert verstehe ich, dass etwas vorgetäuscht wird?&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Your understanding corresponds also to that which I have addressed with feigned, because with the so-called test of atom bombs it did not deal with a large atomic bomb, rather with a small test object which, among other things, must also be labelled a target object and an object of provocation which demonstrates less than a kiloton of explosive material, which is ridiculously little and cannot be designated as an actual atom bomb, rather only as an object of deception, with which, additionally, commercial explosives still played a certain role.&lt;br /&gt;
| Dein Verständnis entspricht auch dem, was ich mit fingiert angesprochen habe, denn bei dem sogenannten Atombombentest handelte es sich nicht um eine grosse atomare Bombe, sondern um ein kleines Testobjekt, das unter anderem auch als Zweckobjekt und als Provokationsobjekt bezeichnet werden muss, das weniger als eine Kilotonne Sprengmasse aufwies, was lächerlich gering ist und nicht als eigentliche Atombombe bezeichnet werden kann, sondern nur als Täuschungsobjekt, bei dem zudem noch kommerzieller Sprengstoff eine gewisse Rolle spielte.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| As a matter of fact the entire thing was only calculatingly arranged in order, on one hand, to provoke the countries who are leading in regard to atomic weapons, and on the other hand, in order to warn the USA that North Korea could hit back atomically should they attack the country.&lt;br /&gt;
| Tatsächlich wurde das Ganze berechnend nur veranstaltet, um einerseits die führenden Staaten in bezug auf Atomwaffen zu provozieren, und andererseits, um die USA zu warnen, dass Nordkorea atomar zurückschlagen könnte, sollten diese das Land angreifen.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| That thereby, however, the world was transferred into uproar, is an effect which was not adequately born in mind and which can bring great damage for North Korea which, firstly, at the least, will be as a result of sanctions, whereby, however, North Korea will again feel justified in announcing further atomic actions and making loud threats.&lt;br /&gt;
| Dass aber damit die Welt in Aufruhr versetzt wurde, ist ein Effekt, der nicht genügend berücksichtigt wurde, und der für Nordkorea grossen Schaden bringen kann, was erstlich zumindest noch durch Sanktionen sein wird, wodurch sich aber Nordkorea wieder bestätigt fühlen wird, um weitere atomare Aktionen anzukünden und Drohungen lautbar werden zu lassen.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| A dangerous matter, for which, however, primarily the USA carries the guilt, I think.&lt;br /&gt;
| Eine gefährliche Sache, woran jedoch hauptsächlich die USA die Schuld tragen, meine ich.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Actually the USA, with its delusion that it plays the role of world police and must snatch world control for itself, is to blame for all that which is evil and bad which it officially brings about in North Korea, in Afghanistan, in Iran and in Iraq, as well as in various other countries of the Earth politically, militarily and seditiously, and will yet further bring about.&lt;br /&gt;
| Tatsächlich sind die USA mit ihrem Wahn, dass sie die Rolle einer Weltpolizei spielen und die Weltherrschaft an sich reissen müssten, schuld an all dem, was sich offiziell an Üblem und Bösem in Nordkorea, in Afghanistan, im Iran und im Irak sowie in verschiedenen anderen Staaten der Erde politisch, militärisch und aufständisch zuträgt und sich noch weiter zutragen wird.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Also to say, in regard to that, is that the irresponsible US President George W. Bush, through a corresponding law, openly supports torture as an interrogation method of prisoners, and indeed especially of political prisoners who are accused of terror.&lt;br /&gt;
| Diesbezüglich ist auch zu sagen, dass der verantwortungslose US-Präsident George W. Bush durch ein entsprechendes Gesetz offen die Folter als Befragungsmethode von Gefangenen befürwortet, und zwar speziell von politischen Gefangenen, die des Terrors verdächtigt werden.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Also, future so-called terror processes are intended to be carried out through military courts.&lt;br /&gt;
| Auch sollen künftighin sogenannte Terror-Prozesse durch Militärgerichte durchgeführt werden können.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| The corresponding law is already worked out and Bush&#039;s signature is as good as given whereby the monstrosity can come into power and the USA can yet further, and more cruelly, ignore all human rights.&lt;br /&gt;
| Das entsprechende Gesetz ist bereits ausgearbeitet, und die Unterschrift Bushs ist so gut wie gegeben, wodurch die Ungeheuerlichkeit in Kraft treten und die USA sich noch weiter und grausamer über alle Menschenrechte hinwegsetzen können.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Further to report is that US President Bush drives his megalomania and delusion of power so far, making it publicly known that space belongs to the USA and, so to say, nobody has the right to use it apart from the USA.&lt;br /&gt;
| Weiter ist zu berichten, dass US-Präsident Bush seinen Grössen- und Machtwahn soweit treibt, öffentlich bekanntzugeben, dass der Weltenraum den USA gehöre und sozusagen niemand das Recht habe, ausser den USA, diesen zu nutzen.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Further, this completely irresponsible sectarian signs a document to the effect that a fence, well over 1000 kilometers long, will be erected on the Mexican border in order to hold back the unwanted Mexican economic refugees from reaching the USA and for which the Israelis&#039; wall against Palestine, as well as the former East Germany&#039;s wall against West Germany, serve as criminal models for the USA.&lt;br /&gt;
| Weiter unterschreibt dieser völlig verantwortungslose Sektierer ein Dokument, demgemäss an der mexikanischen Grenze ein weit über 1000 Kilometer langer Zaun errichtet wird, wozu die Mauer der Israelis gegen Palästina sowie die Mauer der ehemaligen DDR gegen West-Deutschland den USA als verbrecherisches Vorbild dient, um unerwünschte mexikanische Wirtschaftsflüchtlinge davon abzuhalten, in die USA zu gelangen.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| There is, beside all this, however, something good in regard to the USA to nevertheless report, as I have already explained to you in a quite private way in the 428th contact conversation on the 10th of July of this year; namely, that in the beginning of November, with the election in the USA&#039;s House of Representatives/Senate, the irresponsible US president Bush, as well as his vassals and all his Republican followers, will suffer a grave defeat and the Democrats will win the upper hand.&lt;br /&gt;
| Etwas Gutes ist in bezug auf die USA nebenbei jedoch trotzdem einmal zu berichten, wie ich dir bereits beim 428. Kontaktgespräch am 10. Juli dieses Jahres in ganz privater Weise erklärt habe, nämlich dass Anfangs November bei den Wahlen im Abgeordnetenhaus der USA der verantwortungslose US-Präsident Bush sowie seine Vasallen und all seine republikanischen Anhänger eine schwere Niederlage erleiden und die Demokraten die Oberhand gewinnen werden.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Thereby it will be that the Bush government&#039;s secret and crazy plans can no longer be translated into reality, whereby many factors fall away through which a Third World War still threatened before the end of the year 2006.&lt;br /&gt;
| Dadurch ergibt sich, dass geheime und verruchte Pläne der Bush-Regierung nicht mehr in die Wirklichkeit umgesetzt werden können, wodurch viele Faktoren wegfallen, durch die noch vor Ende des Jahres 2006 ein Dritter Weltkrieg drohte.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Therefore the prophecy, that this year this war threatened, will not be fulfilled.&lt;br /&gt;
| Also wird sich die Prophetie nicht erfüllen, die diesen Krieg für dieses Jahr androhte.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| That this extensive war will, however, not come to be, will actually only be thanks to all those who vote for the Democrats in the USA and thereby will show the war-mongering Republicans, together with their President and his vassals, the boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;
| Das jedoch, dass dieser umfassende Krieg nicht stattfinden wird, wird tatsächlich nur all jenen zu verdanken sein, die in den USA die Demokraten wählen und damit die kriegshetzenden Republikaner samt ihrem Präsidenten und seinen Vasallen in die Schranken weisen werden.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Were that not to happen, then the Third World War, which Bush would actually still launch in November, if the Republicans could win the election, would not be avoided.&lt;br /&gt;
| Würde das nicht sein, dann wäre der Dritte Weltkrieg nicht zu vermeiden, den Bush tatsächlich noch im November vom Stapel brechen würde, wenn die Republikaner die Wahlen gewinnen könnten.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| His defeat by the Democrats, however, will bind his hands and restrict him in his murderous and criminal behaviour such that the prophecy will not be fulfilled.&lt;br /&gt;
| Seine Niederlage durch die Demokraten aber wird ihm die Hände binden und ihn in seinem mörderischen und verbrecherischen Handeln derart einschränken, dass sich die Prophetie nicht erfüllen wird.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Nevertheless, however, factors threaten again in later years which could indeed still lead to a Third World War, whereby, however, it is to hope that also then the Earth humans&#039; reason is victorious and the right thing will be done by all who can bring their influence to bear.&lt;br /&gt;
| Nichtsdestoweniger drohen jedoch zu späteren Jahren wieder Faktoren, die doch noch zu einem Dritten Weltkrieg führen könnten, wobei jedoch zu hoffen ist, dass auch dann die Vernunft der Erdenmenschen siegt und von all jenen das Richtige getan wird, die ihren Einfluss geltend machen können.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Nevertheless, however, still other dangers threaten which can have malignant worldwide effects, as, for example, the fact that the irresponsible powers of Israel have worked out secret plans regarding a rocket and air-force attack against the atomic facilities in Iran.&lt;br /&gt;
| Nichtsdestoweniger jedoch drohen noch andere Gefahren, die bösartig weltweite Auswirkungen haben können, wie z.B. die Tatsache, dass die verantwortungslosen Mächte Israels geheime Pläne ausgearbeitet haben hinsichtlich einer Raketen- und Luftwaffenattacke gegen die Atomanlagen im Iran.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| However, what comes of that in the short term is still not apparent.&lt;br /&gt;
| Was sich jedoch daraus ergibt, ist über kurze Zeit hinweg noch nicht ersichtlich.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| At any rate, such an attack will be supported by the USA, that is certain, because it then does not have to directly interfere in this, and the blame can be shifted onto Israel if something goes awry.&lt;br /&gt;
| Jedenfalls wird eine solche Attacke durch die USA befürwortet, das steht fest, weil sich diese dann nicht direkt einmischen müssen und die Schuld auf Israel abwälzen können, wenn etwas schief geht.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Further, in the beginning of November, in Iraq, as a result of pressure from the USA government, Saddam Hussein will be condemned to death, along with all who were his closest co-workers.&lt;br /&gt;
| Weiter wird Anfang November im Irak auf Drängen der USA-Regierung hin Saddam Husain zum Tode verurteilt, nebst jenen, welche seine engsten Mitarbeiter waren.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| The US American pressure on the court in Iraq, and in regard to the death penalty strived for by the USA against Hussein and his allies, consists of a US government criminal intrigue in the form that, as a result of the death penalty, the republicans are supposed to win the planned House of Representatives/Senate elections.&lt;br /&gt;
| Der US-amerikanische Druck auf das Gericht im Irak und in bezug auf das von den USA angestrebte Todesurteil gegen Husain und seine Verbündeten besteht in einer verbrecherischen Intrige der US-Regierung in der Form, dass durch das Todesurteil die Republikaner die anstehenden Wahlen des Abgeordnetenhauses gewinnen sollen.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| While these events come about, a renewed incursion of the Israeli Army into Palestine will occur whereby an evil massacre amongst the civilian population will be carried out in Beit Hanun and great destruction will come about in the city.&lt;br /&gt;
| Während sich diese Ereignisse zutragen, ergibt sich ein erneuter Einbruch der israelischen Armee in Palästina, wobei in Beit Hanun ein böses Massaker unter der Zivilbevölkerung angerichtet wird und in der Stadt grosse Zerstörungen entstehen.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| However, because the criminal acts will be condemned worldwide, these criminal Israeli machinations will be trivialized by Israel through lies to the effect that it concerned an oversight and a targeting failure.&lt;br /&gt;
| Diese verbrecherischen israelitischen Machenschaften jedoch werden, weil weltweit die Verbrechenshandlung verurteilt wird, von Israel durch die Lüge bagatellisiert werden in der Weise, dass es sich um ein Versehen und um einen Zielfehler handle.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| The USA will do the rest in regard to that so that Israel will not be publicly rebuked in the least by the UN for the crimes because the USA will veto such a motion.&lt;br /&gt;
| Den Rest dazu werden die USA tun, damit Israel nicht zumindest durch die UNO öffentlich für das Verbrechen gerügt wird, denn bei einem derartigen Antrag werden die USA ein Veto einlegen.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| The events will, however, lead to the Palestinian Hamas organization likewise breaking the negotiated cease-fire and newly threatening Israel with grave assassinations and also carrying these out.&lt;br /&gt;
| Das Geschehen wird aber dazu führen, dass die palästinesische Hamas-Organisation ebenfalls den ausgehandelten Waffenstillstand bricht und neuerlich mit schweren Attentaten gegen Israel droht und diese auch verübt.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Also the Arabic countries will remove their financial blockade against the Hamas organisation ...&lt;br /&gt;
| Auch werden die arabischen Staaten ihre Finanzblockade gegen die Hamas-Organisation widerrufen …&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Then still this information from a further conversation&lt;br /&gt;
| Dann noch diese Information aus einem weiteren Gespräch&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| That is indeed so.&lt;br /&gt;
| Das ist wohl so.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Yet tell me what you think in regard to Iraq?&lt;br /&gt;
| Doch sag mal, was du hinsichtlich des Irak denkst?&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| In my opinion the civil war down there has already long begun even if the entire thing is officially not yet labelled as such.&lt;br /&gt;
| Meines Erachtens hat der Bürgerkrieg dort unten schon lange begonnen, auch wenn das Ganze offiziell noch nicht so bezeichnet wird.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;Ptaah&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| That is actually the case, whereby it concerns a religio-political civil war which is led between the believers of the Sunnis and the Shiites, for which the USA alone carries the guilt, because this is the true initiator and through its irresponsible bellicose invasion and, through the occupation and exploitation of Iraq, it has thrown the entire country and the population into chaos.&lt;br /&gt;
| Das ist tatsächlich der Fall, wobei es sich um einen religiös-politischen Bürgerkrieg handelt, der zwischen den Gläubigen der Sunniten und den Schiiten geführt wird, woran die Schuld allein die USA tragen, weil diese die wahren Urheber sind und durch ihren verantwortungslosen kriegerischen Einfall und durch die Besetzung und Ausbeutung des Iraks das ganze Land und die Bevölkerung ins Chaos gestürzt haben.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| On the coming 23rd of November the civil war will take on even worse forms because on this day several murderous assassinations will result of which altogether, in Baghdad alone, 236 humans will fall victim, which, however, will be trivialized with a much lowered number by the USA and the new Iraqi government.&lt;br /&gt;
| Ab dem kommenden 23. November wird der Bürgerkrieg noch schlimmere Formen annehmen, denn an diesem Tag erfolgen mehrere mörderische Attentate, denen gesamthaft allein in Bagdad 236 Menschen zum Opfer fallen werden, was jedoch mit einer viel niedrigeren Zahl durch die USA und die neue Irak-Regierung bagatellisiert werden wird.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| That is, therefore, the extent of the extract from the contact conversation, about which there is indeed nothing further to add.&lt;br /&gt;
| Soweit also der Auszug des Kontaktgespräches, dem wohl weiter nichts hinzuzusetzen ist.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;Billy&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Equality for ALL&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
«All men are created equal» is a principle that we Americans have heard repeatedly throughout our lifetime. It appears in our Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson in 1776, and is considered the foundation of American democracy. This principle was intended to guarantee the basic freedoms and natural rights of all citizens of the United States. Many Americans, however, including women, ethnic minorities and people with lesser abilities, poorer education and little or no material possessions have been denied equality from day one of our national independence. As a matter of fact, the Father of our Constitution, James Madison, did his best to limit this universal principle to white, male property owners by inventing a principle of his own, known as the «unequal faculties of acquiring property», which he explained in ‹The Federalist no. 10›. According to this principle, property owners, who were solely wealthy white men back in 1787, are endowed with unequal faculties, from which their rights to acquire property originate. Furthermore, the first object of government, according to Madison, is the protection of these faculties. In other words, the main job of government is to protect the privileged property owners from the unprivileged populace (see «All Men Are Created Equal?» by Steven Hill).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Has equality in America improved since 1776? Well today, the top 20 percent of American earners take over half of the national income, while the bottom 20 percent only take 3.4 percent. Moreover, the U.S. has 269 billionaires, who live in unimaginable luxury, while 37 million Americans live below the poverty line, many of whom, by the way, work two or three jobs (see «37 Million Poor Hidden In The Land Of Plenty» by Paul Harris). On a global basis, the world&#039;s 356 richest families own 40 percent of humanity&#039;s wealth, while the remaining 7 billion members of our global family have to more or less fight for a slice of the rest of the pie. Nearly half of the human population is losing this fight and now lives in poverty. Inequality is the root cause of all discrimination, intolerance, disrespect, degradation, oppression, exploitation, mismanagement and slavery. Combined with a rapidly growing population, it inevitably leads to mass unemployment, the collapse of traditional social services like health care and old age assistance, a shortage of food, water, housing and energy and ultimately to poverty, hunger and disease. These consequences have already hit many of America&#039;s hard-working lower and middle class citizens, whereas the upper class continues to swim in luxury due to the unequal right of propertied citizens to acquire more wealth, more riches and more property than the rest of humanity, based on their unequal faculties.&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Schantz: Created page with &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Punishment must be ...&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;  In general, human beings, which are criminal or which have committed a minor or a major crime, are put in a jail, prison, or detention camp and thus...&amp;#039;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Punishment must be ...&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, human beings, which are criminal or which have committed a minor or a major crime, are put in a jail, prison, or detention camp and thus are excluded from society. The same applies for single or organised terrorists if the jurisdiction seizes them. But there are also the powerful of the states, the presidents of states and dictators, which are not less degenerated, but which are killers legitimated by the state, criminals, humanity killers, terrorists and destroyers. And they are the ones, who escape unmolested from every punishment, because they are protected by dubious laws and by the stupid-idiotic people. Like this, they are able to impose capital punishment on other criminal offenders in a high-handed godlike manner and legally let human beings being killed, as well as to unscrupulously and irresponsibly start wars and attack other countries without being held responsible for it. Hence, they are in fact bad persons, which have to be rid of their freedom and be excluded from society for punishment. If this doesn&#039;t happen, they will go on acting asocial, violent, and murderous and they abuse their degenerations and their power towards the honest and the weaker. Simple criminals and delinquents have the possibility to change for the better by means of appropriate punitive measures and become worthy members of society; but in general, this is not possible with notorious violent criminals, which also include all notorious terrorists. They often are the powerful of the states, presidents of the state, commanders in chief and dictators etc. and they spread infinite suffering and misery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When talking of violent criminals, one shouldn&#039;t only think of simple criminals and murderers but especially of the powerful of the world, because it is them, who bring the biggest evils over human beings and let them to be slaughtered by the thousands and millions through capital punishment, wars, massacres, and secret service operations etc. And it is the top of the mockery that these terrorists and humanity delinquents are cheered and raised to the standing of heroism by the idiots within the people. Like this, many a criminal military leader and murderous president of the state or dictator is celebrated as great fighter, conqueror and hero, although he is only a coward and loudmouth and totally fails, if he has to execute his order by himself. And such dread cans, shirkers, frightables, miserables, softies, and whiners are quickly wetting their pants, if their own skin is threatened. Their loudmouthism only exists as long as they hold and mercilessly exercise power. But, they use this power to harass and kill their fellow human beings. Like this, they let others, who have done less severe crimes, murders, and criminal offences, being executed, while they themselves are protected through the cheering madness of the people. And often, it is them, who are appropriating massive sums of money without ever being prosecuted or punished. And very often they use their finagled money to lead unlawful and betraying election campaigns and to take the helm of a government. But, (handkehrum) a human being, which steals some money or food out of mere need and despair in order to feed oneself and the family, is publicly taken into custody in handcuffs and reviled while the real criminals are lavishly praised.&lt;br /&gt;
