In his 12/24/01 Guestbook posting, NorthwestGuy writes: "Been reading all the posts for the last several days, and I even made some of me own. Well if the Naki saw what we do for X-Mas, they might think we're nuts. But oh well, I wonder if they had any holidays on Nibiru. It seems to me, if they did, they never imparted on mankind to celebrate them with us. Either they figured we are too dumb, or not good enough to do so. "

An Utumas Gift for You An Utumas Gift for You As we celebrate the dual holidays of Utumas and Utukah, when the Sumerian Lord of the Sun Utu's chariot changes direction and heads north again, we bring you this special holiday issue featuring the happy holidays epigraphy (below) and writings of the wise scribe Tripp, whose art and words often grace our 12th Planet Cafe guestbook.Could he be a reincarnation ('gilgal' in the Kabbalah) of Bezalel the Hebrew who helped build the Ark and thus facilitated in ancient times communication between mankind and the divine? Long may he prosper! Artwork by Tripp And thanks to a lucky confluence of circumstances we are now able to repost in modified form his previous submission to the Cafe messageboard on the significance of the $1 bills that many of us receive as Utukah gelt. For those who are not Sumerish, Utukah is like Chanukah except we celebrate Utu's revolt against Tiamat in the Cosmic Battle instead of Judas Maccabeus revolt against the Syrian Greeks who prayed to Zeus instead of Elohim. It is customary for children on Utukah to receive these highly symbolic $1 bills with pictures of pyramids on them as "gelt" in order to celebrate this blessed event.

"Sometimes, not all the time, but more lately, it seemed to Major Withycombe as he trudged uphill in the hot sun that the way they were going about claiming Kruseos as the sole property of earth, to be used for man's exclusive designs, was sacrilege. Here, finally, was another planet to explore, one the space program and other visionaries had dreamed of for centuries, where a man could walk about unhindered by breathing apparatus and heavily insulated suits without restricting gravity slowing and tiring, or worse and most frustrating, having to learn the art of bouncing from place to place as on the moon, and some asteroids."

Sitchin's Theory in a Nutshell
"Over the years, startling evidence has been unearthed, challenging established notions of the origins of Earth and life on it, and suggests the existence of a superior race of beings who once inhabited our world. The product of thirty years of intensive research, THE 12TH PLANET is the first book in Zecharia Sitchin's prophetic Earth Chronicles series -- a revolutionary body of work that offers indisputable documentary proof of humanity's extraterrestrial forefathers. Travelers from the stars, they arrived eons ago, and planted the genetic seed that would ultimately blossom into a remarkable species...called Man."

The 1$ Bill

by Tripp

A Little On the Legend of the "eye" John Daniel, in Scarlet and the Beast writes:
The Serpent promised Adam and Eve that their eyes would "be opened" (Genesis 3:5) if they ate of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The key word in this passage is eyes, which in Hebrew can be translated "knowledge." Opened can be translated "broadened." What the Serpent promised Adam and Eve was that their knowledge would be broadened if they ate of the forbidden fruit. But the most foreboding aspect of this Scripture emerges from the fact that the Hebrew word for "eyes" is not plural, but singular. What the Serpent actually told Adam and Eve was that their "eye" would be broadened by knowledge. The "eye" that Scripture wants us to consider is not the physical organ of sight, but the eye of the mind or soul. This singular "eye" is called the "third eye" of clairvoyance in the Hindu religion, the eye of Osiris in Egypt, and the All-Seeing Eye in Freemasonry. (John Daniel, Scarlet and the Beast, Vol. III, pp. 6-7, (c)1995)
The earliest known history of the All-Seeing Eye dates back to ancient Babylon. It was worshiped as the Solar Eye -- a picture of the sun god. It was also represented as the eye of Jove or Jupiter. It has been called the eye of Phoebus or Apollo. It was also referred to as the eye of Baal, and as the eye of providence. Illuminati and the "EYE" The Illuminati, founded by Weishaupt in 1776, adopted as their Seal "a 13-layered unfinished pyramid with the capstone missing. Hovering above is a sun-rayed triangle, as if waiting to be lowered to complete the structure. In mystery religions the triangle symbolizes power, such as a throne or kingdom, and is sometimes pictured as a horn. The triangle is also a symbol of the dwelling place of the pagan higher power, representing a mountain top in hilly country, a pyramid in Egypt, or a ziggurat in Mesopotamia. The ancients called the ziggurat Hill of Heaven, or Mountain of God." (Daniel, Vol. I, p. 163) Weishaupt also placed in the center of this hovering triangle a man's eye. The eye represents the Illuminati's own spying system. The eye also represents the Priory of Sion, who also adopted the symbol from the Egyptians (the All-Seeing Eye of Horus), with the triangle representing the power of the Merovingian thrones. The unfinished pyramid with 13 steps represents the work assigned to the Knights Templar. According to the author of Scarlet and the Beast, the symbolism suggests that "the Templars have been given the task of building a world government under the watchful eye of the Priory of Sion. When Sion, protector of the Merovingian thrones, lowers the sun-rayed Merovingian capstone in place, the world government will be complete. It is notworthy that as a part of the Year 200 celebration there were originally plans to lower a gold capstone atop the Great Pyramid. Ties Between Illuminati & The USA? Earlier I mentioned that in the mystery religions the triangle represents power such as a throne or kingdom and is sometimes pictured as a horn. This brings to mind the following verse from the book of Daniel:
(Dan 7:8) "I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things."
Are these "three horns plucked up by the roots" specifically Britain, France and perhaps Spain, being originally possesors of the properties of what is now The United States? Is this "little horn" and "mouth speaking great things" and "the eyes like the eyes of man" the United States? Note that the eye above the pyramid on the $1 bill is that of "man", replacing the eye of Horus/Osiris - or - "man playing god" in the seat of power. Is Daniel writing prophecy here of the rise of the United States? Some more facts about the 1$ Bill, where the pyramid, Presidential Symbol and Symbol of the Treasury all have numerous Masonic associations:
  • 13 leaves in the olive branches
  • 13 bars and stripes in the shield
  • 13 arrows in the right claw
  • 13 letters in the "E Pluribus Unum" on the ribbon
  • 13 stars in the green crest above
  • 32 long feathers representing the 32º in Masonry
  • 13 granite stones in the Pyramid. (Author: the 13 layers represent The 13 Top Illuminati Bloodlines)
  • 13 letters in Annuit Coeptis
On the front of the dollar bill is the seal of the United States made up of a key, square, and the Scales of Justice, as well as a compass which, of course, is an important symbol in Masonry. It should also be noted that the Eagle has 32 feathers in its right wing, but 33 in its left wing. The 32 feathers representing the number of ordinary degrees of the Scottish Rite, and the 33 feathers representing the 33º. The tail feathers number 9, the number of degrees in the York Rite. The eagle itself is a prominent icon of Masonry, being used extensively in the Scottish Rite. the total numbers of feathers in both wings is 65. This is the cabalistic number of the Hebrew "Am Echad," meaning "to dwell in unity." The literal meaning of Am Echad is: "one people," or "one community". Demonic Overtones?: Over the Eagle's head is a cloud with 13 pentagrams in the shape of a hexagram - or greater Seal of Solomon. To the sorcerer, the hexagram is a powerful tool to invoke Satan, and is a sign of Antichrist. (6 points, 6 angles, 6 planes - 666) The 5 pointed pentagrams multiplied by the 13 stars equals 65, the same cabalistic number as mentioned above. This makes one wonder with whom or what, we are to dwell in unity! Though there is an obvious rationale for the 13 stars (13 colonies) there is also a more subtle reason - 13 is a key number of Satan.
These are the symbols of the Illuminati's New World Order. The words surrounding the pyramid and eye, "Annuit Coeptis Novus Ordo Seclorum "are Latin for"The Year in which the New World Order was founded." It is striking to find "MCCCLXXVI" -- or "1776" as the date at the bottom of the pyramid, because this was the same year the Jesuit Professor Adam Weishaupt was ordered by his Illuminati bosses to write down their plan for the creation of a New World Order. Is not the foundation stone of this pyramid an appropriate symbol itself for the "Masons"? Reportedly, the goal of that plan was the overthrow of all governments worldwide, the abolishing of all religions and values except their own, and the establishing of a one world government, a one world economy, and a one world religion under one world leader. I won't even mention current history.. Anyone else somewhat unnerved by this? I am.
