At one point in the conversation, Mr. Ahmadinejad suggested that the repression of dissent in his country was similar to that in the United States and Britain during protests against meetings of the G-20 in Pittsburghand London. When asked about the “awful scenes of violence on the streets” of Iran during the crackdown on demonstrators who claimed that his election victory was a fraud, Mr. Ahmadinejad said, “the American police beat people in Pittsburgh, they arrest people and use batons and tear gas against people.”
Some historians expressed doubt that the Führer had shot himself, speculating that accounts of Hitler’s death had been embellished to present his suicide in a suitably heroic light. But a fragment of skull, complete with bullet hole, which was taken from the bunker by the Russians and displayed in Moscow in 2000, appeared to settle the argument.
Until now. In the wake of new revelations, the histories of Hitler’s death may need to be rewritten – and left open-ended. American researchers claim to have demonstrated that the skull fragment, secretly preserved for decades by Soviet intelligence, belonged to a woman under 40, whose identity is unknown. DNA analyses performed on the bone, now held by the Russian State Archive in Moscow, have been processed at the genetics lab of the University of Connecticut. The results, broadcast in the US by a History Channel documentary, Hitler’s Escape, astonished scientists.
According to Connecticut archaeologist and bone specialist Nick Bellantoni, it was clear from the outset that something was amiss. “The bone seemed very thin; male bone tends to be more robust,” he said. “And the sutures where the skull plates come together seemed to correspond to someone under 40.” In April 1945 Hitler turned 56.
Bellantoni had flown to Moscow to inspect the gruesome Hitler trophies at the State Archive, which included the skull fragment as well as bloodstains from the bunker sofa on which Hitler and Braun were believed to have committed suicide. He was allowed only one hour with the Hitler trove, during which time he applied cotton swabs and took DNA samples. “I had the reference photos the Soviets took of the sofa in 1945 and I was seeing the exact same stains on the fragments of wood and fabric in front of me, so I knew I was working with the real thing.”
Since those titanic events in 1947 there has remained an “uneasy” truce between “New Berlin” and the current powers of the World but which Russian leaders, including Putin and Medvedev, know all to well are about to break into open warfare as the “new” Third Reich gains Global supremacy, once again, this time through its present vassal state, the United States of America.
The last American leader who set out to destroy this diabolical cabal between Nazi Germany and the United States was their first Secretary of Defense, James Vincent Forrestal, who upon his learning of the whole truth, and threatening to divulge it his fellow Americans, was summarily dismissed from his office by Truman on March 28, 1949, forced into Bethesda Naval Hospital, and then “suicided” as a “warning” to any others seeking to follow him on May 22nd.
To the current actions of “New Berlin” against our World we can see from Iranian reports where this past week one of their “saucer craft” were downed by Iranian forces, and as we can read as reported by Iran’s official news service:
“Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has targeted and downed an unidentified shining object after sighting it over Persian Gulf waters.
“Glowing objects were sighted over the Persian Gulf. IRGC air defense targeted one of the objects successfully, forcing it to plummet and sink in the seas off Boushehr (Province),” said top regional commander, Brigadier Ali Razmjou.
“The three bright objects were detected by our radars when flying over the Persian Gulf Islands of Khark and Khargou,” he added, according to a Monday report posted on IRNA.”
For their downing of one of these Nazi “saucer crafts”, Iran, of course, drew the immediate ire of the Americans whose President Obama then announced the “discovery” of a secret Iranian nuclear facility that, in fact, Iran had reported exactly as the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty there are signatories to over18-months ago to the United Nations.
Important also to note about the Iranian downing of one of these Nazi “saucer crafts” is that their destination was Afghanistan, which besides the two poles of our Planet has the only other “entrance” to the “Inner Earth” and which is revered by the Nazis and their followers as the birth place of their Aryan (The word Aryan comes from the Sanskrit ārya meaning dignified person or of noble birth) “master race” who they believe by right should rule our World and all of its peoples.
The source of the IRGC UFO thing appears to be this Press TV article, allegedly via IRNA, which currently doesn’t feel like loading in English, also quoted in Tehran Times.
Anyway,
State Archaeologist Nick Bellantoni is in the middle of an international dispute over whether a bullet-pierced skull fragment found by the Russians in a German bunker in Berlin in the final days of World War II belongs to Adolf Hitler.
Bellantoni, who was flown to Germany and Moscow in April as part of a new History Channel series, says that the skull fragment actually belongs to a woman between 20 and 40 years old, not to a 56-year-old man, as Hitler was in 1945.
The archaeologist’s conclusion has provoked a strong reaction overseas.
Russian and Ukrainian free-lance videographers plan to interview Bellantoni and his colleagues Thursday at the University of Connecticut, where he is an associate professor, to learn about the techniques Bellantoni and two UConn colleagues used during their analysis of the fragment, which is housed in the Russian State Archive in Moscow.
The archaeologist said he was permitted one hour to examine the skull fragment, some records, and a blood-stained couch where Hitler reportedly shot himself after taking a cyanide pill.
But now, according to several British news reports, the Russian government is disputing that Bellantoni even visited their archive.
According to a story published in the online Telegraph Tuesday, Vladimir Kozlov — deputy director of the Russian State Archive — told RIA Novosti, a state news agency, that there is no record that Bellantoni visited the facility this spring.
“None of the directors or people who grant permission for this kind of thing know this name,” Kozlov was quoted as saying.
On Tuesday, a representative from the History Channel said in an e-mail that the outlet received permission for the visit from the department head of the State Archive of the Russian Federation.
“We have documentation of this access including a historian who accompanied our forensic expert; a contract which allowed us free access to Russian documents pertaining to the death of Adolf Hitler and the subsequent investigations, including a receipt for the location fee (for shooting within the archive),” the e-mail states.
Bellantoni appeared on “Hitler’s Escape,” the first episode of the History Channel’s new series “MysteryQuest.”
The show, which aired Sept. 16., also featured UConn representatives Linda Strausbaugh — a molecular and cell biology professor and director of the Center for Applied Genetics and Technology — and Dawn Pettinelli, manager of the Home and Garden Education Center and Soil Nutrient Analysis Laboratory. Strausbaugh and Pettinelli did not travel to Europe, but analyzed some of the samples Bellantoni collected.
In an interview Tuesday, Bellantoni said his visit — part of a six-day trip — is indisputable.
“I was definitely there. I’m on camera there,” he said.
Bellantoni said he collected small bone chips that had previously fallen off the skull fragment. He also dug in an area in Germany where the Soviets were said to have buried Hitler, searching for evidence such as cremated bones. The Soviets, who reportedly buried and dug up Hitler’s body eight or nine times, fully cremated him in 1970 and scattered his ashes in a brook, Bellantoni said.
The general belief is that Hitler took a cyanide pill and then shot himself, dying with his 33-year-old wife, Eva Braun, on April 30, 1945, to escape being captured by the Russians as they closed in on Berlin.
Bellantoni said he found several inconsistencies between that claim and the skull fragment.
According to one account, Hitler supposedly shot himself in the right temple. But the recovered skull fragment had an exit wound in the back, which means that the person was shot in the face, mouth or under the chin, Bellantoni said.
Also, Bellantoni said the skull fragment was too small for a man Hitler’s size, about 5 feet 8 and 180 pounds. The skull was also very smooth, which is typically seen in women.
And as people age, jigsaw puzzle-like lines across their skulls grow closer and closer together until they’re barely detectable. The lines on the recovered skull fragment were “wide open,” he said.
Bellantoni said DNA evidence conclusively showed that the skull belonged to a woman. He said he doesn’t believe it was Braun’s because there are no reports that she shot herself or was shot.
“Many people died in that area in 1945,” he said.
Bellantoni said his conclusion — which he hopes to document in a scientific paper — only proves that the skull was not Hitler’s, not that the Nazi leader did not commit suicide in the bunker.
“He had a definite fear of being captured,” Bellantoni said. “He did not even want his body found because he was afraid they were going to mutilate him like they did Mussolini.”
The History Channel’s show has renewed interest in the events leading up to Hitler’s death.
“Now I’m getting e-mails from all over the world — people telling me they have artifacts from Hitler … they think Hitler’s in a nursing home in upstate New York,” he said. “We have to look at the legitimacy of some of these leads and see where it takes us.”
This morning I attended the Mass Meditation for Peace on Flagstaff Hill in Oakland. If you haven’t participated in an outdoor mass meditation before, I highly recommend it.
The attendees meditated to the chanting song of two Mayan elders. Later, 15 Burmese monks walked around the people meditating, encircling them and saying prayers.
Sarah Bauer, a therapist from the Pittsburgh Center for Complementary Health and Healing, organized the event with the aid of others associated with the Thomas Merton Center, which helps coordinate the efforts of various activists in Pittsburgh.
She said the message came from a Vietnamese Zen master whose philosophy was “peace in oneself, peace in the world.”
Meditation, she said, allows for people to feel silence and peace within themselves, to pray for change they want to see and then “have it emanate out.”
For all my dilettantish enthusiasm for consciousness studies and all things esoteric, my actual meditation chops, never great to begin with, have been pretty rusty lately. The presence of so many others proficient in the art helped me slough some attention-rust this morning, whether or not the consciences of any nation-state puppet heads or central banker puppeteers kicked in as a result. The synergy, alignment, harmonization and oneness the globalists prattle on about, abusing these terms as euphemisms for centralized control, refer to real processes and states (pardon) of being; you just need to turn down the prattle a bit in order to experience them.
Thanks to everyone present this morning for facilitating this.
Now, with regard to the prattle,
But words are still the principal instruments of control. Suggestions are words. Persuasions are words. Orders are words. No control machine so far devised can operate without words, and any control machine which attempts to do so relying entirely on external force or entirely on physical control of the mind will soon encounter the limits of control.
Burroughs, “The Limits of Control” 1978
I showed up at 5:15 at the August Wilson Center for a 5:30 press conference with Michael Froman, courtesy of G20 Voice. Froman was late, so I ended up watching Barakhenaton address his subjects and the world, an activity I can’t recommend to non-fans of gallows humor. As expected, and as I scribbled onto a Three Rivers Community Foundation G-20 Guide, he patted Himself & co. on the collective back, declaring that, “Our coordinated stimulus plans played an indispensable role in averting catastrophe,” and that, “We can’t wait for a crisis to cooperate,” and that, “… we will continue our stimulus efforts until our people are back to work,” as no-frills serfs, and that, “I’ve called for a new era of engagement that yields real results for our people — an era when nations live up to their responsibilities, and act on behalf of our shared security and prosperity,” which apparently includes “a new World Bank Trust Fund” and throwing the IMF $500 billion more with which to wreak its usual usurious havoc. He also announced that we have, like, a Coalition of the Willing Iran-wise, and that, “… with respect to the military, I’ve always said that we do not rule out any options when it comes to U.S. security interests.” I refrained from giggling throughout the news conference, but admit I nearly lost it when he said, “We went into Afghanistan not because we were interested in entering that country or positioning ourselves regionally, but because al Qaeda yada yada,” then bragged about how, “… the minute I came into office we initiated a review, and even before that review was completed, I ordered 21,000 additional troops into Afghanistan.” Still, not a chuckle from any of the journalists assembled in the August Wilson Center, not even when he said of protesters, “They object to free markets. One of the great things about the United States is, is that you can speak your mind and you can protest; that’s part of our tradition. But I fundamentally disagree with their view that the free market is the source of all ills,” then began his next sentence with the adverb “ironically”. He also reassured those with climate concerns that the fossil fuel subsidy reform maybe kinda hashed out over the past two days will “… help us combat the threat posed by climate change,” and that the G-20 is “… acting to address the threat posed by climate change.” Thanks, guys! Though Obama did use the phrase, “global economic cooperation and governance” once and “new framework” three times, he at least showed restraint in not mentioning “9/11,” “anarchy”, “freedom” and “the planet Krypton”.
At 6pm, Obama’s old college chum, former President and CEO of CitiInsurance,
Senior Council on Foreign Relations Fellow and now Deputy Assistant to the President and Deputy National Security Adviser for International Economic Affairs, Michael Froman dropped by to take bloggers’ questions, all of which were climate-related (and answered with the same vague commitments to do something somehow, at some point, moving forward, but cautiously), save mine, which pertained to central bank and G-20 secrecy. Froman basically responded there was no time for the G-20 to discuss trifles like central banks submitting to audits and “coming clean”, as Obama insisted Iran do about their nuke program, and that the G-20 isn’t secret because, look, I’m here talking to you, Obama just said a bunch of stuff, and a lovely Leaders’ Statement was issued summarizing all the stuff the G-20 discussed in secret. There were many cameras in the room, and I was assured the press conference was being recorded, so I decided to save batteries on my mp3 recorder and not take any notes. Of course, now the only media I can find of this thing are some flickr photos and a blog post about his responses to some of the climate questions. Until video or audio corroboration surfaces, you’ll just have to take my word, or not, that Froman conveyed what I said he conveyed, much as we’re asked to take on faith what was and was not discussed in the sanctum sanctorum of the Convention Center. As above, so below, I suppose.
Awful stuff went down in Oakland yesterday after I hightailed it to Fe Gallery,
but, as of 11:11 Friday, far as I know, no one in this city has been directly killed by either the G-20 or their Starship Troopers. Obviously, that’s not saying much.
Just glad I can say it.
Abide in loving awareness, get your story out there and cuídate.
