For the sake of anonymity, I go by BigKilla (an old internet gaming handle). I’ve always been interested in the occult and the paranormal. This is the appendix to my guide to the same, named after the fictional book from the movie Ghostbusters. Here I’ll collect news and information about the unexplainable and forgotten.If you would like to contact me, to trade links or send me leads, I’d be happy to hear from you.I can be reached at: bigkilla@analogmedium.com




If I have posted something that belongs to you and you would like me to take it down, I will be happy to do so.

He was an abbot, lexicographer, historian, cryptographer, polymath and occultist who had an influence on later occultism. The name by which he is more commonly known is derived from his native town of &lt;a title="Trittenheim" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trittenheim" target="_blank"&gt;Trittenheim&lt;/a&gt; on the &lt;a title="Mosel" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosel" target="_blank"&gt;Mosel&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a title="Germany" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany" target="_blank"&gt;Germany&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline" id="Life"&gt;Life&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He studied at the &lt;a title="University of Heidelberg" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Heidelberg" target="_blank"&gt;University of Heidelberg&lt;/a&gt;. Travelling from university to his home town in 1482, he was surprised by a &lt;a title="Snowstorm" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowstorm" target="_blank"&gt;snowstorm&lt;/a&gt; and took refuge in the &lt;a title="Benedictine" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benedictine" target="_blank"&gt;Benedictine&lt;/a&gt; abbey of &lt;a title="Sponheim" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sponheim" target="_blank"&gt;Sponheim&lt;/a&gt; near the &lt;a title="Bad Kreuznach" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Kreuznach" target="_blank"&gt;Bad Kreuznach&lt;/a&gt;. He decided to stay and was elected &lt;a title="Abbot" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbot" target="_blank"&gt;abbot&lt;/a&gt; in 1483, at the age of twenty-one. He set out to transform the abbey from a neglected and undisciplined place into a centre of learning. In his time, the abbey &lt;a title="Library" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library" target="_blank"&gt;library&lt;/a&gt; increased from around fifty items to more than two thousand. However, his efforts did not meet with praise, and his reputation as a &lt;a title="Magic and religion" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_and_religion" target="_blank"&gt;magician&lt;/a&gt; did not further his acceptance. Increasing differences with the &lt;a title="Convent" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convent" target="_blank"&gt;convent&lt;/a&gt; led to his &lt;a title="Resignation" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resignation" target="_blank"&gt;resignation&lt;/a&gt; in 1506, when he decided to take up the offer of the &lt;a title="Bishop of Würzburg" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bishop_of_W%C3%BCrzburg" target="_blank"&gt;Bishop of Würzburg&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a title="Lorenz von Bibra" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenz_von_Bibra" target="_blank"&gt;Lorenz von Bibra&lt;/a&gt; (bishop from 1495 to 1519), to become the abbot of &lt;a title="St. James's Abbey, Würzburg" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._James%27s_Abbey,_W%C3%BCrzburg" target="_blank"&gt;St. James’s Abbey, Würzburg&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;i&gt;&lt;a title="Hiberno-Scottish mission" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiberno-Scottish_mission" target="_blank"&gt;Schottenklöster&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; in Würzburg. He remained there until the end of his life. Trithemius was buried at the Schottenkirche St. Jakob with a tombstone by the famous &lt;a title="Tilman Riemenschneider" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilman_Riemenschneider" target="_blank"&gt;Tilman Riemenschneider&lt;/a&gt;. In 1825 the tombstone was moved to the Neumünster church, next to the cathedral. In 1945 it was damaged in the firebombing and subsequently restored by the workshop of Theodor Spiegel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Among his pupils were &lt;a title="Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Cornelius_Agrippa" target="_blank"&gt;Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa&lt;/a&gt; (1486-1535) and &lt;a title="Paracelsus" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracelsus" target="_blank"&gt;Paracelsus&lt;/a&gt; (1493-1541).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline" id="Steganographia"&gt;Steganographia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trithemius’ most famous work is &lt;i&gt;Steganographia&lt;/i&gt; (written &lt;i&gt;c.&lt;/i&gt;1499; published &lt;a title="Frankfurt" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt" target="_blank"&gt;Frankfurt&lt;/a&gt;, 1606, placed on the &lt;i&gt;&lt;a title="Index Librorum Prohibitorum" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_Librorum_Prohibitorum" target="_blank"&gt;Index Librorum Prohibitorum&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; in 1609&lt;sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Trithemius#cite_note-0" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;1&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;, removed in 1900&lt;sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Trithemius#cite_note-1" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;2&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;). This book is in three volumes, and appears to be about &lt;a title="Magic (paranormal)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_%28paranormal%29" target="_blank"&gt;magic&lt;/a&gt; - specifically, about using &lt;a title="Spiritual being" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiritual_being" target="_blank"&gt;spirits&lt;/a&gt; to communicate over long distances. Since the publication of the decryption &lt;a title="Key (cryptography)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_%28cryptography%29" target="_blank"&gt;key&lt;/a&gt; to the first two volumes in 1606, they have been known to be actually concerned with &lt;a title="Cryptography" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptography" target="_blank"&gt;cryptography&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a title="Steganography" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography" target="_blank"&gt;steganography&lt;/a&gt;. Until recently, the third volume was widely still believed to be about magic, but the “magical” formulae have now been shown to be &lt;a title="Stegotext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stegotext" target="_blank"&gt;covertexts&lt;/a&gt; for yet more cryptography content.&lt;sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Trithemius#cite_note-2" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;3&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; The work has lent its name to the modern field of steganography.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline" id="Other_works"&gt;Other works&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Other works include &lt;i&gt;De Laude Scriptorum&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;i&gt;In Praise of Scribes&lt;/i&gt;) (written 1492, printed 1494), &lt;i&gt;De septum secundeis&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;i&gt;The Seven Secondary Intelligences&lt;/i&gt;, 1508), a history of the world based on &lt;a title="Astrology" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrology" target="_blank"&gt;astrology&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;i&gt;Annales Hirsaugiensis&lt;/i&gt; (1514); and &lt;i&gt;Polygraphia&lt;/i&gt; (1518).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Annales Hirsaugiensis&lt;/i&gt;. The full title is &lt;i&gt;Annales hirsaugiensis…complectens historiam Franciae et Germaniae, gesta imperatorum, regum, principum, episcoporum, abbatum, et illustrium virorum&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;a title="Latin" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin" target="_blank"&gt;Latin&lt;/a&gt; for “The Annals of Hirsau…including the history of France and Germany, the exploits of the emperors, kings, princes, bishops, abbots, and illustrious men”. Hirsau was a monastery near &lt;a title="Württemberg" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%C3%BCrttemberg" target="_blank"&gt;Württemberg&lt;/a&gt;, whose abbot commissioned the work in 1495, but it took Trithemius until 1514 to finish the two volume, 1400 page work. It was first printed in 1690. Some consider this work to be one of the first &lt;a title="Humanism in Germany" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanism_in_Germany" target="_blank"&gt;humanist&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a title="History" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History" target="_blank"&gt;history&lt;/a&gt; books.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a title="Cipher Manuscripts" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cipher_Manuscripts" target="_blank"&gt;Cipher Manuscripts&lt;/a&gt; were encrypted using the &lt;a title="Trithemius cipher" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trithemius_cipher" target="_blank"&gt;Trithemius cipher&lt;/a&gt;, a simple substitution crypto which Trithemius describes in his book Polygraphia. &lt;i&gt;The Cipher Manuscripts&lt;/i&gt; was used to found the &lt;a title="Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermetic_Order_of_the_Golden_Dawn" target="_blank"&gt;Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn&lt;/a&gt;, an &lt;a title="Initiation" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initiation" target="_blank"&gt;initiatory&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a title="Secret society" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_society" target="_blank"&gt;secret society&lt;/a&gt; that heavily influenced &lt;a title="Victorian era" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_era" target="_blank"&gt;Victorian&lt;/a&gt; and modern European occultism.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://tobinsguide.analogmedium.org/post/410774841</link><guid>http://tobinsguide.analogmedium.org/post/410774841</guid><pubDate>Wed, 24 Feb 2010 23:39:18 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Pseudomonarchia Daemonum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</title><description>Pseudomonarchia Daemonum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, or Hierarchy...</description><link>http://tobinsguide.analogmedium.org/post/410765297</link><guid>http://tobinsguide.analogmedium.org/post/410765297</guid><pubDate>Wed, 24 Feb 2010 23:31:46 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Buer (demon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</title><description>&lt;img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kydzk6UOvN1qzpfi7o1_400.gif"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buer_(demon)" target="_blank"&gt;Buer (demon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://tobinsguide.analogmedium.org/post/410764787</link><guid>http://tobinsguide.analogmedium.org/post/410764787</guid><pubDate>Wed, 24 Feb 2010 23:31:18 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>The Lesser Key of Solomon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</title><description>The Lesser Key of Solomon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Editions

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Albert Pike (December 29, 1809–April 2, 1891)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An attorney, soldier, writer, and Freemason. Pike is the only&lt;b&gt; Confederate&lt;/b&gt; military officer or figure to be honored with an outdoor statue in &lt;b&gt;Washington, D.C. &lt;/b&gt;(in&lt;b&gt; Judiciary Square).&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Very few outsiders know about the intimate plans of the architects of the New World Order. One such architect was Albert Pike, who in the 19th Century, established a framework for bringing about the One World Order. Based on a vision revealed to him, Albert Pike wrote out a blueprint of events that would play themselves out in the 20th century, with even more of these events yet to come. It is this blueprint which we believe unseen leaders are following today to engineer the planned Third and Final World War.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pike was born on December 29, 1809, in Boston, studied at Harvard, then later served as a Brigadier-General in the Confederate Army. After the Civil War, Pike was found guilty of treason and jailed, only to be pardoned by fellow Freemason President Andrew Johnson on April 22, 1866, who met with him the next day at the White House. On June 20, 1867, Scottish Rite officials conferred upon Johnson the 4th - 32nd degrees, and he later went to Boston to dedicate a Masonic Temple. The only monument to a Confederate general in Washington, D.C. was erected in Pike’s honor, and it can be found between the Department of Labor building and the Municipal Building, between 3rd and 4th Streets, on D Street, NW.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Pike was a genius, able to read and write in 16 different languages. A 33rd degree Mason, he was one of the founding fathers, and head of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, being the Grand Commander of North American Freemasonry from 1859-1891. In 1869, he was a top leader in the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. In 1871, he wrote the 861 page Masonic handbook known as the &lt;i&gt;Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Rite of Freemasonry.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Pike was said to be a Satanist, who indulged in the occult, and he apparently possessed a bracelet which he used to summon Lucifer, with whom he had constant communication. He was the Grand Master of a Luciferian group known as the Order of the Palladium (or Sovereign Council of Wisdom), which had been founded in Paris in 1737. Palladism had been brought to Greece from Egypt by Pythagoras in the fifth century, and it was this cult of Satan that was introduced to the inner circle of the Masonic lodges. It was aligned with the Palladium of the Templars. In 1801, Issac Long, a Jew, brought a statue of Baphomet (Satan) to Charleston, South Carolina, where he helped to establish the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. Long apparently chose Charleston because it was geographically located on the 33rd parallel of latitude (incidentally, so is Baghdad), and this council is considered to be the Mother Supreme Council of all Masonic Lodges of the World. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Pike was Long’s successor, and he changed the name of the Order to the New and Reformed Palladian Rite (or Reformed Palladium). The Order contained two degrees: 1) Adelph (or Brother), and 2) Companion of Ulysses (or Companion of Penelope). Pike’s right-hand man was Phileas Walder, from Switzerland, who was a former Lutheran minister, a Masonic leader, occultist, and spiritualist. Pike also worked closely with Giusseppe Mazzini of Italy (1805-1872) who was a 33rd degree Mason, who became head of the Illuminati in 1834, and who founded the Mafia in 1860. Together with Mazzini, Lord Henry Palmerston of England (1784-1865, 33rd degree Mason), and Otto von Bismarck from Germany (1815-1898, 33rd degree Mason), Albert Pike intended to use the Palladian Rite to create a Satanic umbrella group that would tie all Masonic groups together. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Because of Mazzini’s revolutionary activities in Europe, the Illuminati had to go underground. In addition to the Supreme Council in Charleston, South Carolina, Pike established Supreme Councils in Rome, Italy (led by Mazzini); London, England (led by Palmerston); and Berlin, Germany (led by Bismarck). He set up 23 subordinate councils in strategic places throughout the world, including five Grand Central Directories in Washington, DC (North America), Montevideo (South America), Naples (Europe), Calcutta (Asia), and Mauritius (Africa), which were used to gather information. All of these branches have been the secret headquarters for the Illuminati’s activities ever since.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Morals and Dogma&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the major sourcebooks of Masonic doctrine is Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Masonry, written in 1871 by Albert Pike, and is considered to be the “Mason’s guide for daily living… In it Masonry is a search after Light…” &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; In Morals and Dogma, Pike wrote: &lt;i&gt;“Every Masonic lodge is a temple of religion; and its teachings are instruction in religion…Masonry, like all religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism and Alchemy, conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect, and uses false explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead…to conceal the Truth, which it calls Light, from them, and to draw them away from it… The truth must be kept secret, and the masses need a teaching proportioned to their imperfect reason… every man’s conception of God must be proportioned to his mental cultivation, and intellectual powers, and moral excellence. God is, as man conceives him, the reflected image of man himself.”&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; The next statement reduces the Masonic philosophy to a single premise. Pike writes: &lt;i&gt;“The true name of Satan, the Kabalists say, is that of Yahveh reversed; for Satan is not a black god… Lucifer, the Light Bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light…Doubt it not!”&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Albert Pike explained in Morals &amp; Dogma how the true nature of Freemasonry is kept a secret from Masons of lower degrees:  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;i&gt;“The Blue Degrees are but the outer court or portico of the Temple. Part of the symbols are displayed there to the Initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It is not intended that he shall understand them; but it is intended that he shall imagine he understands them. Their true explication is reserved for the Adepts, the Princes of Masonry… It is well enough for the mass of those called Masons, to imagine that all is contained in the Blue Degrees; and whoso attempts to undeceive them will labor in vain.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;One World Order&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 1859, Albert Pike, who was fascinated with the idea of a one-world government, was chosen to coordinate Illuminati activities in the United States. He said they needed to create a political party that would keep the world fighting, until they could bring peace. Pike said it would be done &lt;i&gt;“with tongue and pen, with all our open and secret influences, with the purse, and if need be, with the sword…”&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; In a letter dated January 22, 1870, Mazzini wrote to Pike, alluding to Pike’s New and Reformed Palladian Rite:  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;i&gt;“We must allow all of the federations to continue just as they are, with their systems, their central authorities and diverse modes of correspondence between high grades of the same rite, organized as they are at present, but we must create a super rite, which will remain unknown, to which we will call those Masons of high degree whom we shall select. With regard to our brothers in Masonry, these men must be pledged to the strictest secrecy. Through this supreme rite, we will govern all Freemasonry which will become the one International Center, the more powerful because its direction will be unknown.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Three World Wars&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As do most occultists, Albert Pike had a “spirit guide,” who dispensed “Divine Wisdom” and enlightened him regarding how to achieve the New World Order. A “spirit guide” is a “being” who meets someone who has given themselves over to the practice of the occult; however, people who are practitioners of the New Age Religion do not view this as a bad thing. In fact, they would strongly argue that they are filled with happiness and joy by interacting with their “spirit guides”. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; One message that Albert Pike received from his “spirit guide,” and which in reality we know to be a demonic vision, he described in a letter that he wrote to Mazzini, dated August 15, 1871. This letter graphically outlined plans for three world wars that were seen as necessary to bring about the One World Order, and we can marvel at how accurately it has predicted events that have already taken place. This is not because the devil has powers of prophecy, but because his agents have undertaken to manipulate political events to closely follow his designs. For a short time, this letter was on display in the British Museum Library in London, and it was copied by William Guy Carr, former Intelligence Officer in the Royal Canadian Navy. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;i&gt;“The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the Illuminati to overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia and of making that country a fortress of atheistic Communism. The divergences caused by the “agentur” (agents) of the Illuminati between the British and Germanic Empires will be used to foment this war. At the end of the war, Communism will be built and used in order to destroy the other governments and in order to weaken the religions.”&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Students of history will recognize that the political alliances of England on one side and Germany on the other, forged between 1871 and 1898 by Otto von Bismarck, co-conspirator of Albert Pike, were instrumental in bringing about the First World War. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;i&gt;“The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine. During the Second World War, International Communism must become strong enough in order to balance Christendom, which would be then restrained and held in check until the time when we would need it for the final social cataclysm.”&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; After this Second World War, Communism was made strong enough to begin taking over weaker governments. In 1945, at the Potsdam Conference between Truman, Churchill, and Stalin, a large portion of Europe was simply handed over to Russia, and on the other side of the world, the aftermath of the war with Japan helped to sweep the tide of Communism into China. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;i&gt;“The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the “agentur” of the “Illuminati” between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.”&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Since the terrorist attacks of Sept 11, 2001, world events in the Middle East show a growing unrest and instability between Jews and Arabs. This is completely in line with the call for a Third World War to be fought between the two, and their allies on both sides. This Third World War is still to come, and recent events show us that it is not far off.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
