Aliens on every timeline?
PLS
people who completely disagree to that there might be an alien life on this planets are dumb enough to have that kind of thought and DON’t answer this question if your one of them.
To anyone who doesn’t believe the ancient astronaut theory pls don’t answer this question.
UFOs and Aliens
For some reason the Pyramid of Giza has a very precise angle on the world, if you look to the world map it complete center to the middle of the earth. the giza also point to the sirius constellation and orion. The 3 pyramid also show the structure size interpretation of orion.
http://www.thehiddenrecords.com/egypt.htm
Ancient Egypt also show a bird LIKE airplane model, the precolombian has also a very similar model (note the precolombian model was recreated with a much more big design and it actually FLIES, there are some youtube video links on the net SEARCH them!!)
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/esp_aviones_precolom02.htm
QUESTION
There is obviously some weird alien sightings on ancient time even on the Bible but the weird thing is that THERE is an UFO evidence or leftover BUT the ancient airplane has a similarity to our modern one, Do you think it really is an alien technology or a TIME TRAVELER from the future which would actually explain on how the ancient people created the precise and centered pyramid on the earth because they have help to an alien or to our future ancestor and how come there are similarities on the mayan pyramid.
The Mahabharata is one of the weird sighting on the world not only its deserted and abandoned the bones of the people for some reason are preserved and they also show some high levels of radiation now I know some people will say so what, well on ancient indian scrolls there is a story saying that 3 big cities on the sky have a fight on flying chariots and stuff (hey what the f!ck thats not even alien its just a myth a f!king made up story OR its a misunderstand hi-technology THAT also involved an ancient nuclear bomb?)
The question again is that IS it really an alien or another future time traveler or is just a f!king made up story!!!!!.
The Bermuda triangle one of the weirdest things of this crazy world actually for some reason is actually on the same position of the Pyramid of Giza it actually connects (WHAT! its a coincidence), now they say airplane and ship dissapear even in World War II on which we’re starting to have a modern technology. In 1960s or something, some guy actually survive the bermuda he says that the sky creates a spiral like tornado and that the airplane started to malfuntion.
QUESTION
I know some of you would say “You watched too much Stargate shows” (hey i didn’t even watch that show except for the 1994 movie and I’m 3 when the Stargate show started). Do you think it a wormhole, a hyperspace bypass or just a typical who cares thing?
On September 1939 World War 2 started and for some reasons there are numerous UFO sighting all over the world and for some reason the Nazi has a very high technology that so advance our world accelerate 2 centuries. Some say hitler got steal the airplane ideas from India on an old ancient blueprints.
QUESTION
Do you think Nazi just had does ideas and created it OR they actually get it from ancient aliens or something?
After World War II UFO sightings increase tremendously that people say alien will conquer our world, Today each year there are UFO sightings and some alien abduction thing and our world but why do I think there are not really aliens? On 1957 Antonio Villas Boas was abducted and he also have sex to the hot alien (Its what he said).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Villas_Boas
QUESTION
Did any of you thought that how when our world is now starting to develop high technology on which everything is starting to be portable thats alien mysteriously look at our 20th and 21st century. And for some reason they started abducting or are THEY?, what if the alien are actually time traveler from the future people who said encounter alien that they are humanoid form. Could it be that there trying to find Megan Fox? What if our future is on deserted or there having a homework assignment from the future to look to the past and what the technology look like from the past before it become so great.

Happy Confederate History Month! (Long article, not for the faint-hearted)?
Isn’t it about time people find out what “Confederate History” actually means?
I’ll save you the trouble:
1) The South was no more racist than the North in the war. Slavery existed in the North and in the South. We were taught in school that there were “slave states” and “free states”, but that is nothing but a lie. Generals Grant and Sherman were slave owners in the North. Grant refused to release his slaves until he was legally forced to, saying that “good help is so hard to come by these days”.
2) Northern slaves endured much more horrific and life-threatening work conditions than Southern slaves. Northern slaves worked for less money than they owed to the factories in which they worked, trapping them in economic slavery, where the slaves are forced to house and feed themselves. At least slave owners in the South looked after the physical well-being of their slaves as they were considered expensive property. In the North, workers lives were expendable.
3) The Southern army was a desegregated force. Surprise surprise. They Southern army had blacks serving side-by-side with whites since day one, even at First Mananas. The Union only allowed blacks to serve MANY YEARS after the war started, and they were only allowed to be SERVANTS and PORTERS. It took an entire year for the Union army to allow the blacks to wield rifles into battle, and ancient (1st Revolution era) weapons at that. The Union black soldier was equipped with inferior weaponry and paid less than the Confederate black or indian soldier, who got EQUAL PAY.
4) While in office, Lincoln never gave a rat’s ass about the slaves. He said in his campaign that he would allow slavery to continue if the Southern states did not secede. They seceded anyway. Then, the ONLY TIME that slavery was an issue during the war was THREE YEARS into the war. The Emancipation Proclamation freed NOBODY as it was a dictation to states NO LONGER IN THE UNION. It was written to provide a moral issue so that the war could CONTINUE and the northern military industrial complex could continue making money.
5) As high as 95% of Southerners did not own slaves…so, what were they fighting for? One speech is cited by many hateful people, the speech by the Vice President of the CSA which stated that slavery was a “cornerstone” of the South. That was merely pandering to the crowd, THE RICH SUPPORTERS OF THE VP. 95% of Southerners, the common people who died for their country, had no affiliation with slavery and, thus…had to have been fighting for SOMETHING ELSE, the same thing we have been talking about for a very long time, and the argument that is rising again, STATES RIGHTS. The Fed was becoming more and more powerful and oppressive. The division in the country was not “slave” and “free” states, it was Northern and Southern states. Look at the election map! The country is cut in half, according to the regional allegiance. The country was formed out of two different countries, and secession was the ONLY way to ensure the South got representation, as the North was using force to make the South obey instead of allowing the South equal representation. A key event that confirms this is the South Carolina nullification crisis of 1832. See the link for further details. The states were protesting for states rights LONG before the war, which happened because all avenues of reconciliation were spent.
6) Many years earlier, slavery was ended in England. Exactly 0 people died, 0 people were injured, 0 lives were destroyed, 0 homes burned, and 0 cities pillaged and plundered. The cost of the legislation was a fraction a fraction of the cost of the War of Northern Aggression and Reconstruction combined.
http://www.victorianweb.org/history/antislavery.html
7) Secession is not treason. It is legal as the States are not barred that power specifically in the Constitution, a power clarified by the 10th Amendment and declared in the Declaration of Independence: “That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
Defense of your country is not treason. Once the Southern states seceded, they were their own country. The Southern people defended their country very bravely to the last man against an overpowering enemy. That, my friends, is called patriotism, dare I say heroism.
In the end, YOU HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF THIS, what would cause the Southern people to stand and fight like they did. The South had a smaller army, a puny navy, poorer weaponry
@ Andy: and what exactly do you know about this? It is not humanly possible to read that in 2 minutes. If there is a falsehood either you point it out and substantiate that claim, or you are just another troll.
Ok, andy, sorry for my outburst. About (3), I will say this for any region as black soldiers were commonplace in the Army as early as First Manassas, one of my sources discusses that.
In addition, Confederate Brigadier General Edward L. Thomas should be quoted for his successful efforts to pressure the Congress to enact legislation enabling blacks to enlist in his Georgian army. They, as cited above, were enlisted anyway by the Generals who had free reign in that respect.
I do not deny that some slaves entered battle with their masters, but many tens of thousands were free men:
http://www.forrestsescort.org/blacks.htm
“The Official History of Laurens County, Georgia, 1807-1941 by Betha Sheppart Hart, reports that: “No man has ever exhibited a finer loyalty nor a greater capacity for friendship than Bill Yopp, a negro man born and raised in Laurens County, belonging to Thomas McCall Yopp. When his master left to join the Army in Virginia, in the early months of the Confederate War, Bill went with him. He went through the War at his master’s side. When freedom came, poverty overtook Captain Thomas Yopp, and Bill went out into the world on his own responsibility. A varied career led him here and there over the United States….In time Captain Yopp, an old man, went to live at the Soldiers Home in Atlanta; here Bill found him and devoted the remainder of his life to his former master.”
Yahoo Answers, screw you too. negr0 is not a curse words, it was, in the 1960′s, the formal term for a black man (“black” was less acceptable) and it is the Spanish word for black.
I’d hate to see the Spanish section, every time the color black is mentioned, it will be censored.

Why have the Christians been so passionate, about destroying cultural histories?
For example, in Europe, alone, Christians destroyed great stockpiles, of maps, and navigational aids, which seafarers had used, in all seven oceans, for generations.
When Christian invaders found the advancement, of the South American cities, of the indian tribes, and found temples, where priests had spent generations charting the heavens, and planetary positions, the Christians burned as much as they could, to prevent the world from, possibly, knowing that others had crossed the oceans, or pondered the skies, centuries before Christ was born
We may never know what the true use, of Stonehenge, or Easter island, were, since the Christians went to these places, and others, tortured the local populations into accepting Christ, while destroying all evidence, of trade, which preceeded the invasion.
Is it, indeed, the Christians, who may have even destroyed evidence, for the existance of Atlantis?
Why has Christianity, even as it is, today, either torturing, or starving out, anyone who does not agree with Christianities goals?
Why have missionaries been so determined to desecrate sacred land, by intentionally, building “missions” on lands previously held for worship?
What are the Christians so afraid of?

A belief that Jesus survived the crucifixion and spent his remaining years in Kashmir ?
A belief that Jesus survived the crucifixion and spent his remaining years in Kashmir has led to a run-down shrine in Srinagar making it firmly onto the must-visit-in India tourist trail.
Rozabal shrine, Srinagar
Jesus is reputed to be buried in this run-down shrine in the Kashmir capital
In the backstreets of downtown Srinagar is an old building known as the Rozabal shrine.
It’s in a part of the city where the Indian security forces are on regular patrol, or peering out from behind check-posts made of sandbags.
There are still occasional clashes with militants or stone-throwing children, but the security situation has improved in recent times and the tourists are returning.
When I first searched for Rozabal two years ago, the taxi circled around a minor Muslim tomb in a city of many mosques and mausoleums, the driver asking directions several times before we found it.
The shrine, on a street corner, is a modest stone building with a traditional Kashmiri multi-tiered sloping roof.
A watchman led me in and encouraged me to inspect the smaller wooden chamber within, with its trellis-like, perforated screen.
Through the gaps I could see a gravestone covered with a green cloth.
When I returned to the shrine recently though, it was shut – its gate padlocked because it had attracted too many visitors.
The reason? Well, according to an eclectic combination of New Age Christians, unorthodox Muslims and fans of the Da Vinci Code, the grave contains the mortal remains of a candidate for the most important visitor of all time to India.
‘Crazy professor’
Officially, the tomb is the burial site of Youza Asaph, a medieval Muslim preacher – but a growing number of people believe that it is in fact the tomb of Jesus of Nazareth.
Map showing location of Srinagar
They believe that Jesus survived the crucifixion almost 2,000 Easters ago, and went to live out his days in Kashmir.
“What else could they do? They had to close it,” Riaz told me.
His family home almost overlooks the shrine, and he is witheringly dismissive of the notion that Jesus was buried there.
“It’s a story spread by local shopkeepers, just because some crazy professor said it was Jesus’s tomb. They thought it would be good for business. Tourists would come, after all these years of violence.
“And then it got into the Lonely Planet, and too many people started coming.
“And one foreigner…” he gave me an apologetic look, “broke off a bit from the tomb to take home with him. So that’s why it’s closed now.”
On cue, a couple of unwashed and exhausted Australians appeared, carrying the latest edition of the Lonely Planet travel guide to India, which, sure enough, carried the tale of Jesus’s tomb, with some caveats about crackpots and blasphemy.
They asked me to take a photo of them outside the shrine – but were not desperately disappointed that it was closed.
The tomb of Jesus was just another place to tick off on their tourist-in-India must-visit list.
Famous meeting
Buddhist monastery, Srinagar
The remains of a Buddhist monastery which some believe Jesus visited
The ruins of a Buddhist monastery in a spectacular location halfway up a mountainside north of Srinagar are not, yet, mentioned in the Lonely Planet.
It’s a spot that I had previously been unable to visit, because as a senior police officer told me, it was “infested with terrorists”.
But the watchman now seemed prepared for the arrival of mass tourism, with his 50 words of English, and his hidden stock of ancient terracotta tiles for sale.
He informed me that Jesus was among the religious leaders who attended a famous Buddhist meeting here in AD80, and even pointed to the place where he sat.
The stories of Jesus in India are not just aimed at gullible tourists – they date back to the 19th Century.
They were part of attempts to explain the striking similarities between Christianity and Buddhism, a matter of great concern to 19th Century scholars – and also a desire among some Christians to root the story of Jesus in Indian soil.
Missing years
There is talk of the missing years of Jesus, unmentioned in the gospels, when he was between the ages of 12 and 30.
Woman kisses statuette of Jesus, in Srinagar Cathedral
Christians form a little more than 2% of India’s population
Some say he was in India, picking up Buddhist ideas. These aren’t notions that have entirely died out.
The US-based Christian sect, known as the Church Universal and Triumphant, is the best-known modern supporter of the belief that Jesus lived in Kashmir, though they don’t believe he died there.
And in Islam, in which Jesus is the penultimate prophet, there is also a minority tradition adopted by the controversial Ahmeddiya sect, that Rozabal does contain the grave of Jesus.
Professional historians tend to laugh out loud when you mention the notion that Jesus might have lived in Kashmir – but his tomb is now firmly on the tourist trai

Double checking. Help?
I recently “failed” a test.
I merely accepted I did bad and continued working to try to make up for it.
However looking back at the test now that I’m studying for exams, I’m noticing that I should have got some questions right!
The quick was marked electronically. We just filled in a multiple choice sheet and it was fed into a system that marks how you do. I think my teacher may have put the wrong sheet in (There were four sections of the test, therefore, 4 sheets”
Can you double check I got these right before I take this up with my teacher?
1) Q: Net migration is:
A: immigration rate – emigration rate
2) Q: If the natural increase rate is 6 and the net migration rate is 5 what is the population growth rate
A: 11/1000
3) Q: Demographers identify three important stages in each persons life. They are..
A: Children, Working adult, Older Adult
4) Q: Indian act 1876
A: Stated treaties negotiated must respect land ownership rights of natives and give natives fair payment for land
5) (Correct. Possibly fluke if marked wrong)
6) Q: Population can be described as ______ meaning few people living over a large area (low population density)
A: Sparse
7) Q: Factors affecting land use patterns in a city would be:
A: Lnd values, Zoning, and technology.
Q: Vacant land is land that is used:
A: Unused and awaiting a new use
9) Q: By studying a vertical aerial photograph it is possible to draw a land use map
A: True
10) Q: Studying Canadas population and settlement patterns is useful because:
A: You can discover how Canadas population is changing and what these changes mean for Canadians
I’ll only do that one section but If I got any correct, then I’ll know she messed up and marked it wrong in which case I’ll hand the whole test back to her.
I’ll probably have gotten some wrong, but if any of my answers were correct (which I’m almost 100% certain a ton of them are) TELL ME.
MUCH thanks.
Jakob.

Fahim Ansari is accused of helping to plan the attacks in which 173 people were killed in November.
His lawyer, Ejaz Naqvi, has filed legal papers with Mumbai magistrate’s court, claiming the “white woman” removed all his clothes and showed him pornographic films.
In the papers, he claims that three foreigners, including the woman, sexually abused him, causing him “severe itching and wounds” on his body, including his genitals.
Mr Ansari, a devout Muslim, claims this amounts to torture because it is against his religion, The Sun newspaper has reported.
A court in the Indian city ordered medical checks on “wounds on his private parts and all over his body.”
Mr Ansari was arrested with five other suspects last year.
Police have said that he is a trained member of Lashkar-e-Taiba, the terrorist organisation responsible for the Mumbai attacks.
He was detained in February last year in connection with an attack on a police camp in Rampur that left seven paramilitaries and one civilian dead.
Police have said Mr Ansari had hand-drawn maps of key Mumbai landmarks, some of which were hit in the attacks that started on 26 November.

I find that odd. Red states are backwards yet two of them have Indian governors, blue states are “forward” yet there is clear and extremely heavy hatred towards people of Indian descent there.

Absolut vodka pulls ad showing California in Mexico Mon Apr 7, 9:36 PM ET
The distillers of Sweden’s Absolut vodka have withdrawn an advertisement run in Mexico that angered many U.S. citizens by idealizing an early 19th century map showing chunks of the United States as Mexican.
The billboard ad has the slogan “In an Absolut World” slapped over a pre-1848 map showing California, Arizona and other U.S. states as Mexican territory. Those states were carved out of what had been Mexican lands until that year.
Although it was not shown in the United States, U.S. media outlets picked up on the ad, and after a barrage of complaints, Absolut’s maker said on Sunday the ad campaign would cease.
Defending the campaign last week, Absolut maker Vin & Spirit said the ad was created “with a Mexican sensibility” and was not meant for the U.S. market.
“In no way was this meant to offend or disparage, nor does it advocate an altering of borders, nor does it lend support to any anti-American sentiment, nor does it reflect immigration issues,” a spokeswoman wrote on Absolut’s Web site.
“Instead, it hearkens to a time which the population of Mexico may feel was more ideal,” she wrote.
Absolut’s blog cite has received more than a thousand comments since the ad campaign was launched a few weeks ago, with many calling for boycotts of the Swedish company.
“I have poured the remainder of my Absolut bottles down the sink,” one blogger wrote.
A war between Mexico and the United States from 1846 to 1848 started with Mexico’s refusal to recognize the U.S. annexation of Texas and ended with the occupation of Mexico City by U.S. troops.
At the end, Mexico ceded nearly half of its territory to the United States, forming the states of California, Nevada, Utah and parts of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Wyoming.
Mexicans remain sensitive about the loss and the location of the border. At the same time, the United States is fortifying barriers to keep out undocumented Mexican migrants.
Some Mexicans use the term “Reconquista” (reconquest) to refer to the growing presence in California of Mexican migrants and their descendants.
France’s Pernod Ricard is taking over Absolut vodka, one of the world’s top-selling spirit brands, after buying Vin & Spirit from the Swedish government at the end of March.
Indian of south asia has us$ 500,000 from 6 trillion oil found?
ACCORDING TO SAUDI ARABIA OIL MINISTER MR. ALI BIN IBRAHIM SAID THAT THERE ARE 7,000,000,000,000 BARREL OF OIL AROUND THE WORLD.
ALI BIN IBRAHIM AL NAIMI BORN IN 1935 IS THE SAUDI ARABIAN MINISTER OF PETROLEUM AND MINERAL?
CURRENTLY, WE ONLY KNOW ABOUT THE 1,000,000,000,000 BARREL OF OIL FOUND AROUND THE WHOLE WORLD.
THE 6,000,000,000,000 BARREL OF OIL HAS NOT BE FOUND OR THE SAUDI KNOW WHERE IT IS LOCATED WHICH IS UNDER A SECRET FILES IN FOUND IN THEIR CABINET.
ANYWAY, AFTER READING THE MINISTER’S STATESMENT, I HAVE DECIDED TO SCAN AROUND THE WORLD AND DISCOVERED THE LOCATION.
THE LOCATION IS IN BOMBAY, MAHARASTHRA, INDIA
WE CAB FIND THE HUMANWAY OR GOD WAY?
THE HUMAN WAY IS ONLY VERY LITTLE.
BUT GOD’S WAY IS 12 VAST OF OIL AT THE WEDDIN IN CANA.
THE BIBLE MENTION ABOUT ASHER WHO WILL DIP HIS FEET IN THE EARTH AND FIND OIL.
The book examines the map of the tribes of Israel, to discover the location of the oil.
While Genesis talks about the “blessings of the deep” for the sons of Joseph or the tribes of Manasseh and Ephraim,
another scripture in Deuteronomy says the tribe of Asher will “… dip his foot in oil.”
NOW THAT WE KNOW WHICH SONS OF JACOB HAS THE OIL THEN WE MUST PROCEED WHERE THEY ARE LIVING NOW.
THERE ARE THE ROMAN JEWS NUMBERING 24,000,000 AROUND THE WORLD.
THERE ARE 6,000,000 AMERICAN JEWS, 2,000,000 EUROPEAN JEWS, 2,000,000 RUSSIAN AND THE REST OF 14,000,000 JEWS SCATTERED AROUND THE WORLD.
THERE ARE ALSO THE ASSYRIAN JEWS OR 10 TRIBES FOUND IN INDIA.
THE ASSYRIAN JEWS IN INDIAN ALL EAT UNLEAVENED BREAD WITHOUT YEAST.
THERE ARE ABOUT 28 STATES WITHIN THE INDIAN NATION.
Administrative divisions:
28 states and 7 union territories*; Andaman and Nicobar Islands*, Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chandigarh*, Chhattisgarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli*, Daman and Diu*, Delhi*, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Lakshadweep*, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Orissa, Puducherry*, Punjab, Rajasthan, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, West Bengal
MAHARASHTRA STATE CONSIST OF BOMBAY.
THE ASHER TRIBE LIVE IN BOMBAY, MAHARASHTRA.
YOU COULD FIND ASHER TRIBE LIVING IN AMERICA, EUROPE, RUSSIA AND AROUND THE WORLD.
BUT ASHER TRIBE IN BOMBAY IS THE LARGEST OF FIT KIND.
MAHARASHTRA POPULATION IS ABOUT 96,752,247 FROM WIKIPEDIA.
ASSYRIAN JEWS 240,000,000 (FROM ISRAELITE)
PERSIAN 240,000,000( FROM PERSIA)
MEDES 240,000,000 (FROM PERSIA)
DRAVIDIAN 240,000,000( ALAMITE FROM SUSA, PERSIA)
UNTOUCHABLE 240,000,000 (CANAANITE SLAVE FROM ISRAEL THEY MUST HAVE FOLLOWED ST. THOMAS SEA TO INDIA)
==============================================
1200,000,000 TOTAL POPULATION OF INDIA
===============================================
NOTE THE POPULATION CAN BE MANUPULATED TO PUT THE ASSRYIAN JEWS AT 360,000,000?
THERE ARE 400,000,000 ARAB HENCE THERE ARE 400,000,000 JEWS.
THAT IS WHY 360,000,000 SPLUS 40,000,000 WILL GIVE YOU THE FIGURE OF 400,000,000 JEW WORLD WIDE.
IF WE DIVIDE 240 BY 12 WE WILL GET ABOUT 20,000,000 ASHER TRIBE.
IF WE DIVIDE 360,000,000 BY 12 WE WILL GET 30,000,000 ASHER TRIBE.
SO MAHARASTHRA POPULATION IS ABOUT 100,000,000 TO 120,000,000.
THIS WILL COME ABOUT 30,000,000 ASHER TRIBE IN BOMBAY AND THE REST OF THE 90,000,000 BELONG O OTHER TRIBES OF PERSIAN, MEDES, DRAVIDIAN AND UNTOUCHABLE.
SO IN SIMPLE ENGLISH THERE ARE ABOUT 30,000,000 JEWS LIVING IN BOMBAY.
THEY HAVE BEEN LIVING HERE SINCE 722 BC WHEN JEWS FROM ISRAEL WHERE TAKEN AWAY BY AYSSRIAN EMPEROR TO ASSYRIA, BABYLON, PERSIA AND INDIA RESPECTIVELY.
SINCE INDIA TOOK GOOD CARE OF THESE ASSRYIAN JEWS, I AM SURE GOD WILL COMPENSATE INDIA WITH 6,000,000,000,000 BARREL OF OIL TO THE FUTURE GENERATIONS OF INDIAN IN INDIA.
IF I AM RIGHT, ALL 360,000,000 ASSYRIAN JEWS WILL BE LEAVING FOR JERUSALEM, ISRAEL.
IN THE BOOK ON EZIKIEL, IT IS STATES THAT GOD WILL BRING THE TRIBE OF JUDAH AND ISRAEL BACK HOME.
IN SIMPLE ENGLISH, AMERICA IS JUDAH AND INDIA IS ISRAEL.
THERE ARE 6,000,000 JEWS IN AMERICA AND 360,000,000 JEWS IN INDIA.
LET ME REMIND YOU THAT THOSE ASSYRIAN JEWS ARE CALLED ISRAEL.
SECONDLY THE SECEPTRE SHALL NOT LEAVE FROM JUDAH UNTIL SHILOH COME.
THE UNITED NATIONS IS THE SECEPTRE.
THIS MEAN THE UNITED NATIONS WILL REMAIN IN AMERICA UNTIL LORD JESUS CHRIST THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD COME BACK TO JERUSALEM, ISRAEL FOR THE 1,000 YEARS OF PEACE.
FINALLY, JUDAH IS AMERICA AND ISRAEL IS INDIA.
PRESIDENT GEORGE W BUSH HAVE SIGN A NEW FRIENDSHIP PACT WITH INDIA.
INDIA ECONOMY IS NOW US$ 1,000,000,000,000 IN GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT OR GDP.
IT WILL BE A MATTER OF TIME, INDIA WILL BE THE RICHEST NAITON ON THIS EARTH.
WITH US$ 600,000,000,000,000 IN OIL, INDIA WILL DOMINATE THE WORLD ECONOMY.
IF OIL PRICE STAY AT US$ 100 THEN IT WILL BE WORTH US$ 600 TRILLION DOLLARS RESPECTIVELY.
BUT IF OIL PRICE MOVE UP TO US$ 200 PER BARREL THEN ALL INDIAN PEOPLE WILL BE MILLIONAIRES OVERNIGHT.
6,000,000,000,000 BARREL OF OIL

6,000,000,000,000 X 200 = 1,200,000,000,000,000 (1.2 QUADRILLION DOLLARS)
6,000,000,000,000 X 300 = 1,800,000,000,000,000 (1.8 QUADRILLION DOLLARS)
6,000,000,000,000 X 400 = 2,400,000,000,000,000 (2.4 QUADRILLION DOLLARS)
6,000,000,000,000 X 500 = 3,000,000,000,000,000 (3 QUADRILLION DOLLARS)
6,000,000,000,000 X 600 = 3,600,000,000,000,000 ( 3.6 QUADRILLION DOLLARS)
6,000,000,000,000 X 700 = 4,200,000,000,000,000 (4.2 QUADRILLION DOLLARS)
6,000,000,000,000 X 800 = 4,800,000,000,000,000 (4.8 QUADRILLION DOLLARS)
6,000,000,000,000 X 900 = 5,400,000,000,000,000 ( 5.4 QUADRILLION DOLLARS)
6,000,000,000,000 X 1,000 = 6,000,000,000,000,000 (6 QUADRILLION DOLLARS)
HOW MUCH IS EACH INDIAN WORTH?
1,200,000,000 INDIAN TOTAL POPULATION
US$ 4,000,000 IF EACH INDIAN GIVEN US$ 4 MILLION DOLLARS?
=============================================================
US$ 4,800,000,000,000,000 (4.8 QUADRILLION DOLLARS)
=============================================================
WHEN OIL PRICE HIT THE US$ 200 THEN ALL INDIAN PEOPLE WILL BE MILLIONAIRES OVERNIGHT?
MALAYSIAN HINDRAFF OFFICIAL ONCE SAID THAT EACH OF THE 2,000,000 INDIAN PEOPLE IN MALAYSIA IS WORTH US$ 4,000,000?
WHEN OIL PRICE HIT THE US $800 PER BARREL THEN ALL 1,200,000,000 INDIAN PEOPLE WILL BE WORTH 4.8 QUADRILLION DOLLARS WORLD WIDE?
THIS IS CALLED US$ SEXTILLION DOLLARS RESPECTIVELY?
HOW DOES THE NAME “MEGA INDIAN” SOUND TO YOU?
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THIS WORLD ALL INDIAN PEOPLE WILL BE RESPECTED BY ALL MANKIND.
JUST IMAGINE ALL PEOPLE CALLED YOU MASTER OR SIR OR MEGA?
WHAT ABOUR 1,200,000,000 BILLIONAIRES FROM INDIA?
1,200,000,000 INDIAN POPULATION

What do the white spots on this map of the MLB TV blackout zones signify?
Here’s the map:
http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/sp/tools/med/2006/06/ipt/1150742098.jpg
This shows what each MLB team calls their territory when it comes to TV blackouts in the MLB.tv service. But what are the white spots all over?
They’re not lakes because there’s not one in Utah, they’re not place where there is no internet/cable because of the huge areas near Washington, D.C., Las Vegas, and southern Florida, I don’t think they’re indian reservations, they aren’t problems with the scanning of the map because there are city names over some of the spots..What the heck are they?
Batman thanks for reading the question.
