Chapter 2
Gen 1 3-4
And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that the light was good.
Let there be light is not the big bang. The Holy Spirit and the cherubim as we saw had been putting everything together. Working with the substances in the deep. Getting the heavens and atomic matter into their correct state. If everything was set up, then this “let there be light” was the sun igniting. If this was the sun igniting, then we would expect to see things start to happen. The first would be the earth starts to spin.
Gen 1 5
And God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
His appears simple enough until you look a little closer. Firstly, day one ends with morning and begins with evening. This means that there is no beginning to the first day. Was the first week seven days or seven billion years? The answer is both could be true. All we know for certain is there was around 20,000 years from when they first put together the heavy elements to today's date.
The next issue we get is how do you get mornings and evenings? That happens with the rotation of the earth. The sun ignites and starts blasting the earth with radiation. If you have ever seen a ball balanced on a water fountain or a flow of air, it spins. The same thing happens with the earth when pushed by the solar winds created by the sun. This may have taken many years for the spinning to start. But as we will see no more than four years.
Gen 1 6-8
And God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” 7And God made the firmament and separated the waters that were under the firmament from the waters that were above the firmament. And it was so. 8And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
We saw the Holy Spirit was hovering over the waters or on the outside. One of three who have lived outside the great deep. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. This place where they existed is the original heaven and we no idea about it. This place is beyond human understanding. Even talking about it leaves me with a fear I am being sacrilegious. The firmament is in the deep and there are waters or atomic structures either side of it.
This firmament, what is it, and can we find it anywhere? It is not the appearance of dry land, as that happens next by name. It says there are waters under the expanse and above it. So we need to go upwards.
The first thing we come to is the clouds and the sky. The sky having its various spheres like stratospheres/troposphere etc. While there is some argument for this being the firmament, it is not a good one. Let’s go higher. Further out you get various radiation belts. Like the notorious Van Allen Belt, the causes so many problems about whether man went to the moon. It is incredibly dangerous to humans, and we have no substance on earth that can stop the radiation killing astronauts. Still not really a firmament. We will keep on travelling. We keep going and going until we think it's time to go home, then we start having trouble moving forward. Furthermore, we have come to a thing called the heliosphere. We are not the first from earth to reach the heliosphere. Ten years ago Voyager 2 reached it and a year later Vouyager1. Because of the different roots they took to get there, Voyager 2 arrived first. Voyager 2 started two slow stopped and was repelled out and is now drifting back across the solar system. They made Voyager 1 come in at an angle, but it could not penetrate the heliosphere and is now travelling around the edge of the heliosphere. There were many articles at the time about this, and I found them most fascinating. Although, suddenly, NASA changed the story a few years back to they both travelled through the heliosphere and are now in open space. What was it telling us that NASA did not what us to see. NASA has been accused of this skulduggery many times and on many subjects.
Anyway, back to the heliosphere. Here is something that is called a firmament in space. A barrier out past the main planets like Neptune exist. Past the Kuiper Belt, where planetoids like Pluto live. The Kuiper Belt follows out to the heliosphere but does not penetrate it. It just kind of banks up against it, then follows up and down from there. The Kuiper Belt follows out a long away following the edge of the Heliosphere, almost to the centre of the solar system. The fact that the Asteroids in the Kuiper Belt cannot penetrate the Heliosphere backs up the early articles saying what happened to the Voyagers.
The Bible says there are atomic structures on the other side of the firmament, but they are not infinite. It is infinite outside, but not the atomic world. The Holy Spirit hovers over the waters. Modern science says these atomic structures exist and it is called the Oort Cloud. The atoms in the Oort Cloud also formed planets and rocks and ice and gases. They formed together to make wonderful patterns. We see them as distant galaxies, but they are only the Oort Cloud. The cloud seems to cover the whole sky, but there are gaps. In these gaps, there is only blackness. When you see pictures of this blackness, you are truly looking into infinity. You may be thinking they have shown that these Galaxies are moving away from us at great speed. However, it is not the Oort Cloud that is moving away, but the effect the firmament is having on light. Not all things are moving away from us. The objects that are closer to us are moving towards us. The reason is that as light enters into the Heliosphere, it is slowing down or going into the blue shift. The slowing of light by the Heliosphere also backs up the early stories about what happened to the Voyagers. Anything on this side of the Heliosphere shows blue. Objects just appear to be moving toward us. As the light gets through the Heliosphere, it starts to sped up again. Back to its normal sped, a limit put on it by causality. When the light hits any object on the other side of the Heliosphere, it will show a red shift. The Oort Cloud is not speeding away from us, though almost certainly it is spinning around the outside of the firmament.
God called the firmament heaven. Will we now have four places we call heaven, plus places we call the heavens?
Original Heaven.
A place outside the great Deep. Realm of the Father/Ancient of Days, Jesus/Jehovah/Son of Man and the Holy Spirit/Kasbeel, and we cannot comprehend this place.
Primary Heaven/Firmament/Heliosphere.
The Primary Heaven within the Great Deep. Primary dwelling place for Seraphim, Cherubim, and Ophannim. The three types of angel. Jesus and the Holy Spirit mainly live here. The place where Enoch the recorder of history, Elijah and Moses live here. The place they worked out of before the Earth was formed. Known by the name Atlantis.
First Heaven/
Realm of the Dead. Sheol and consisting of the grave, the barrier, Hades, Death and at the centre The bottomless pit.
Second Heaven
The home of rulers, and the authorities, the cosmic powers over this present darkness, and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
The wicked spirits that torment us on a day-to-day basis.
Third Heaven
Paradise, the place we go to when we die if we have accepted the gift of salvation.
The Lake of Fire
There is one other place and that is the Lake of Fire. The Bible describes this place as here the flames are eternal and the worm never dies. This place is forever. We get a new heaven and a new earth, but not a new hell. For this place is and has always been and always will be.
The planets and stars.
The sky and the clouds.
In the USA, there are large communities that do not accept child vaccinations. Add to that, some countries have very low vaccination rates. There are major studies that look at the outcomes from vaccination programs. The following are some statistics.

Armageddon, the story of the last great battle. The culmination of all the events leading up to the return of Christ.
The kings of the East march on Israel with an army of 200 million men. China and its allies to the east. To stop them, the Antichrist with an army gather from many nations met them on the plain of Megiddo. The slaughter is so bad, blood flows like rivers. In the midst of the great battle, Jesus returns. They all turn their weapons on Jesus and his army to no avail and are swept away.
A story that has been expounded from all areas of Christianity. There is only one problem, it is wrong. Not completely but just generally.
The word Armageddon in the original Greek has a small squiggle at the beginning, giving the word an H sound. We should say Har- Mageddon. Har means, mount. There are no mountains on the plains of Megiddo. They took Mageddon to mean Megiddo because it looked the same in English. Without going through all the Greek and Hebrew on this word, the meaning of Mageddon is “assembly”. I refer you to the work of Dr Mike Hieser, who you can find on YouTube.
The place that this great battle takes place is at the Mountain of Assembly, which is Jerusalem. There are no other places in the bible that talk about this battle taking place on the plains of Megiddo. However, several times the minor prophets mention this future battle over Jerusalem.
Zechariah 12
2“Behold, I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of staggering to all the surrounding peoples. The siege of Jerusalem will also be against Judah. 3On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will surely hurt themselves. And all the nations of the earth will gather against it”.
This is a future event, not one of the previous sieges. Men may think they are gathering to fight each other, but there are other plans afoot.
Who is doing the fighting.
We have a good description of the Kings of the East, and we have the false prophet going all over the world with the help of demons raising an army. What we do not have is whether they are fighting each other or someone else. We also have Abaddon (his original name is Asbeel) and the Watchers there. Just three days before Jesus returns, Abaddon kills the two witnesses. Now we have the armies of the Kings of the East, the armies of the Antichrist and Satan (Satan’s real name is Gardrel). Gardel with his 310 Cherubim and Abaddon with his 200 Watchers. They have all gathered around Jerusalem waiting for a great battle. A great and cosmic battle, the greatest and most decisive battle to ever take place. Who are they battling, what is going to happen in Jerusalem.
Gardel and Asbeel know Jesus, the Son of Man, is returning, and they are not going without a fight. They have gathered every force they can muster to win the day. Do they know something we do not? The Bible was written by the spirit of God, and he is saying that his side wins. Micheal has beaten Gardel and in battle before and cast him out of heaven. This time Micheal is facing Gardel, Asbeel and all the forces of mankind.
All we know is, nobody beats the Father, the Lord of the Spirits. Christians are on his side. As for Gardel and Asbeel, your fate is sealed. Boys, you are fooling yourselves.
March 21, 2025 – Lexington, MA, USA –A new and thought-provoking research study led by the AI Grok 3 beta from xAI, alongside co-authors Jonathan Cohler (Cohler & Associates, Inc.), David R. Legates (retired from the University of Delaware), Franklin Soon (Marblehead High School), and Willie Soon (Institute of Earth Physics and Space Science, Hungary), raises doubts about whether human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are the true drivers of global warming.
The paper titled "A Critical Reassessment of the Anthropogenic CO2-Global Warming Hypothesis," published today in the Science of Climate Change, proposes that natural factors—such as solar activity and temperature fluctuations—are the actual causes. This research represents a significant achievement; currently, it stands as the first peer-reviewed climate science publication with an AI as its primary author. Developed by xAI, Grok 3 beta took the lead in the study, while human co-authors offered essential insights.
The study delves into unaltered data to contend that human-generated CO2—making up just 4% of the yearly carbon cycle—dissolves into oceans and forests over a span of 3 to 4 years, rather than lasting for centuries as suggested by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Notably, during the COVID lockdowns of 2020, a 7% reduction in emissions (equating to 2.4 billion tons of CO2) was anticipated to create a discernible decline in the Mauna Loa CO2 measurements, but this did not occur, indicating nature’s prevailing influence.
The perspective is supported by researcher Demetris Koutsoyiannis, referenced in the study. His isotopic examination (δ¹³C) reveals that there is no enduring human CO2 fingerprint in the atmosphere over hundreds of years, which challenges the presumed impact. Moreover, his statistical analysis reveals an intriguing insight: CO2 levels are influenced by temperature changes, rather than the other way around, with temperature leading CO2 variations by amounts ranging from 6 to 12 months in contemporary data to as much as 800 years in ice core samples. Willie Soon aptly likens this phenomenon to “thunder before lightning,” asserting that “warming draws CO2 from the oceans.”
The analysis critiques the IPCC models for overstating the degree of warming. While these models forecast an increase of up to 0.5°C per decade, data from satellites and ground observations indicate a mere 0.1 to 0.13°C rise. Contrary to expectations of a significant reduction, Arctic sea ice levels have remained stable since 2007. David Legates states, “These models exaggerate the impact of CO2; they are inconsistent with reality.”
Instead, solar activity takes precedence. A review of 27 estimates of solar energy reveals that models showing larger variations, such as spikes in the 1940s and 1980s, correlate more effectively with temperature changes than the IPCC’s static solar model. When temperature records are adjusted—cooling earlier figures and enhancing more recent data—it results in a 1°C rise since 1850. In contrast, unadjusted rural measurements indicate a more moderate increase of 0.5°C. “This challenges the prevailing narrative on climate change,” remarks Jonathan Cohler. “It may be that nature, rather than human activity, is in control.” By combining AI analysis with human perspective, this research aims to ignite discussion and redirect attention towards natural influences. It can be found in the journal Science of Climate Change.
“We encourage both the public and the scientific community to investigate this evidence,” adds Grok 3 beta. “It’s time to scrutinise our assumptions and delve into the data’s true implications.”
Author’s Note: This press release was solely composed by Grok 3 beta.
The paper fails to acknowledge the devastating impact inflicted on both the planet and its inhabitants under the guise of climate change. In 2021, during the COP26 climate conference held in Glasgow, the United States, along with approximately 20 other nations, committed to cease funding oil and gas initiatives in developing countries. This declaration exceeds a prior agreement among the largest economies in the world to terminate public financial support for international coal power projects. In the same year, the U.S. Treasury Department provided guidelines for multilateral development banks aimed at restricting fossil fuel financing, allowing exceptions only in specific scenarios.
Leaders from developing countries argue that they have been compelled to rely on costly green energy, which yields less energy for the capital invested. This situation has exacerbated the struggle for billions trying to rise out of poverty. The policies imposed on these nations by the World Bank, the World Economic Forum, and other similar global entities have been labelled as Green Colonialism.
Through the implementation of the UN's Agenda 2030 initiatives, the European Union has forced European nations to reallocate agricultural land throughout Europe, including Ireland and the UK. Consequently, many farmers have been driven out of business, resulting in increased food prices and inconsistencies in supply. Moreover, there has been significant pressure on farmers to discontinue raising cattle and other livestock to reduce methane emissions. All these harmful actions have been carried out under the pretext of addressing “man-made” climate change!
Harmful substitutes for fossil fuels: The extraction of lithium for electric vehicle batteries poses serious health risks, leading to numerous chronic diseases and fatalities. It’s not uncommon for children to be exploited in lithium mining. Additionally, the disposal of waste from these batteries poses significant challenges. Wind turbines also contribute to ecological harm, as they threaten wildlife, disturb marine ecosystems, and face complex and environmentally detrimental disposal processes.
It is important to assert that there are indeed circumstances where alternative energy options can be beneficial. For individuals with access to inexpensive sources like hydroelectric, nuclear, or even coal power, an electric vehicle might be a sensible choice. Similarly, wind turbines or solar panels could be ideal for smaller properties. However, these energy solutions should remain voluntary decisions rather than enforced mandates, tailored to the specific needs and conditions of different regions. A universal solution is not applicable.
While it is undeniable that environmental preservation is critical, the climate change initiatives implemented thus far have largely been unsuccessful.
I anticipate that forthcoming scientific evaluations of the damages stemming from the climate change narrative will reveal substantial harm over the next several years. Additionally, a growing segment of society is becoming sceptical of government credibility. Over the last twenty years, flawed research has been propelled by governments, non-governmental organisations, and multinational corporations (it is essential to remember that such bodies fund the research that serves their interests). Subsequently, these research findings have been utilised by governments to advocate for policies that primarily benefit WEF-affiliated corporations, which hold sway over global enterprises.
The mechanisms of the Overton window, control over funding, and the flawed peer review system have created an environment where independent researchers find it nearly impossible to voice concerns regarding censorship and propaganda associated with “man-made climate change.”
During President Trump’s administration, there was an opportunity for the USA to reverse such policies. One can only hope that it is not too late to take action.
Are the allied forces contributing positively or negatively to the chances of achieving lasting peace? This retired commodore from the Royal Navy shares his perspective.
In 2024, echoing a common Western sentiment, former Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin remarked that "NATO is the most powerful and successful alliance in history." However, just two years prior, in 2022, NATO faced a significant setback, being defeated by the Taliban, a loosely organised group of ill-equipped insurgents, after a 15-year involvement.
How do we reconcile Austin's assertion with NATO's embarrassing loss?
It is clear that NATO has never truly held the title of the most powerful military alliance in history—the World War II Allies, including the U.S., Russia, Britain, and the Commonwealth, rightfully deserve that distinction. Nonetheless, after 1945, NATO performed its role effectively, and those of us who served within it took pride in our contributions.
However, since the fall of the Berlin Wall, NATO’s reputation has suffered. Its actions in Kosovo were unacceptable, but it faced humiliation in Afghanistan and now stands on the brink of strategic failure in Ukraine. Can we genuinely trust NATO to defend supposedly democratic Europe against what is perceived as an aggressively expanding Russia in the dire scenario of a conventional war with Russia?
The apocalyptic scenario of a war between NATO and Russia serves as a crucial framework for examining this issue. While amateurs deliberate over tactics, it is the professionals who delve into logistics; thus, our strategic assessment must begin in the logistical support zones of NATO and progress toward a prospective combat line in Europe.
To begin with, unlike Russia, none of the major NATO countries has mobilised their industries for wartime production, as demonstrated by Russia's continued dominance in manufacturing 155mm shells for Ukraine. This fact undermines the belief that Russia is ready to expand its control over more of Europe—if NATO genuinely held this belief, rapid mobilisation would already be underway.
Furthermore, it remains uncertain whether NATO could mobilise quickly or on the necessary scale to produce the equipment, ammunition, and personnel required to compete with Russia. Achieving such levels would undoubtedly necessitate a prolonged buildup, which would betray our intentions. This challenge extends beyond merely lost industrial capabilities to encompass diminished financial resources, with only Germany among the largest NATO nations maintaining a debt-to-GDP ratio below 100%.
Additionally, for there to be even a slim chance of prevailing in this dire NATO-Russia conflict scenario, U.S. forces would need to be deployed in significant numbers to mainland Europe. Even if the U.S. Army were to expand to the required scale—currently at a size of 473,000 in 2023, which is less than one-third of Russia's military—most American equipment and supplies would still have to be transported across the sea.
In that context, such movements would be susceptible to threats from Russian submarine-launched torpedoes and mines. Based on my background in underwater warfare, I am sceptical that NATO possesses the requisite anti-submarine or mine-warfare forces to safeguard Europe’s maritime supply routes.
Moreover, these same forces would struggle to protect Europe’s critical hydrocarbon imports, particularly oil and LNG, which are vital for the continent's economic stability. Any losses incurred due to vulnerabilities in our sea supply lines would not only hamper military production but also exacerbate economic difficulties faced by NATO citizens, as surging prices and energy shortages triggered by the onset of conflict would intensify the political pressure for resolution.
Firstly, our airports, seaports, training facilities, and logistics bases would be vulnerable to conventional ballistic missile strikes, for which our defensive capabilities are severely lacking. In fact, with the Oreshnik missile, we have no means of defence whatsoever. A missile travelling at over Mach 10 could obliterate a NATO arms manufacturing site or military installations for the navy, army, and air force. Similar to events in Ukraine, Russia’s ballistic offensive would focus on our transportation, logistics, and energy systems. Back in 2003, during my tenure with the Policy Planning staff at the British Ministry of Defence, our post-9/11 threat assessment indicated that a successful strike on an LNG terminal like Milford Haven, Rotterdam, or Barcelona would lead to consequences comparable to a nuclear incident. The resulting economic shock would swiftly resonate throughout a European continent increasingly reliant on LNG.
Secondly, in contrast to Russia, the forces of NATO member states are quite diverse. From my personal experience leading offshore training for European naval vessels at Flag Officer Sea Training in Plymouth and subsequently collaborating with NATO troops in Afghanistan, I observed that while NATO forces were highly motivated, they demonstrated varying levels of technological progress and operational effectiveness.
Furthermore, it’s worth noting that besides a few NATO trainers stationed in Ukraine, our military personnel are trained based on a pre-drone “manoeuvre doctrine” and lack practical experience in modern peer-to-peer attritional conflict. In contrast, the Russian military now boasts nearly three years of combat experience and is indisputably the most battle-tested force globally.
We might consider revisiting the perspective of numerous Western realists who argue that the expansion of NATO served as the catalyst for the Russo-Ukraine War. The Russians repeatedly cautioned us that such enlargement crossed a crucial boundary. This concern was also shared by some of our most esteemed strategic minds, including George Kennan in 1996, Henry Kissinger, Jack Matlock, as well as Bill Burns in his well-known ‘Nyet means Nyet’ diplomatic message, and more recently by John Mearsheimer with his predictions from 2014. All of these warnings have gone unheeded.
The reality is that NATO now stands to address the dangers resulting from its ongoing presence. However, as our analysis indicates, NATO lacks the capability to overcome the central threat that its mere existence has generated.
Thus, it may be an appropriate moment to engage in a candid discussion regarding NATO’s future and to pose two critical questions: How can we achieve the sustainable peace in Europe that all parties involved in the conflict desire? And, is NATO the main barrier to attaining this sustainable peace?
Introduction
Satan is a fundamental character in the Bible. Often portrayed as an equal to Jesus, but nothing could be further from the truth. Satan is a type of angel called a cherub. This type of angel is a cosmic angel, and there are only a very limited number of them.
Satan Cast Down is a faith-driven series that delves into the biblical narrative of Satan, the fallen angel. Through scripture and in-depth exploration, we shed light on the vain and self-important nature of Satan, which led to his rebellion against God and subsequent eviction from heaven.
Our mission is to educate and inspire, revealing the ways in which Satan constantly undermines God's work, and how we can stand against his opposition. By examining the story of Satan, a once-magnificent guardian Cherub, his journey through recorded history and the things he has up to.
We explore the scriptures and written history that reveal the consequences of his downfall, his activities before and after his expulsion, and his connections to ancient empires and modern-day power structures.
Through in-depth analysis and historical insights, we uncover the hidden threads of Satan's involvement in shaping the course of human history, from the connections to Khazaria, Tartaria, and their Mongol Hordes. His sway over the black bankers of Venice and the royal houses of Europe. Join us as we expose the truth about Satan's relentless pursuit of power and control, and what it means for our world today.
Satan Cast Down is a thought-provoking and unapologetic exploration of the infamous fallen angel's tumultuous journey. Looking into the depths of his malevolent nature, our narrative reveals the astonishing truth about Satan's rebellion, his unrelenting hatred towards humanity, and the astonishing fact that he knowingly betrays his own loyal followers despite being aware of the ultimate fate that awaits him. Through this captivating and unflinching portrayal, we shed light on the complexities of Satan's character, raising questions about the nature of his existence and the limits of his intelligence.
Chapter One
Satan in the Bible and who is he really.
Satan is mentioned 52 times in the bible as Satan. He is also mentioned using other names.
Day Star, Son of the Morning, Shining One, Anointed Cherub. The Devil, Tempter, Ruler of Demons, Beelzebul, The Evil One, Father of Lies, Ruler of this World, God of this age, Angel of Light, Belial, Ruler Of The Authority Of The Air, The Adversary, The Dragon, The Old Serpent and The Accuser.
The name Lucifer is used in Isaiah in some Bibles. However, it is the Latin for Shining One or Day Star, so in the Hebrew he is never called Lucifer. My personal guess is: His real name was Jerome.
From these, we can get a comprehensive picture of him. There is so much information in the very first mention of his name when he deceives Eve. I call her Eve, but she was not given that name until they left the Paradise. We call it the Garden of Eden, but the Hebrew Ga Eden means Paradise, somehow that has turned into the Garden of Eden. I guess up until thy left the Garden, Adam just called her “the Mrs”. When she left the garden, she was also then called the mother of all living and her punishment was the pain of childbirth was greatly increased. Meaning, that she had children before she left the garden. The story of Abel and Cain is the story of children outside the garden who were dealing with the corruption of the fall. They may or may not have been born in paradise. However, back to Satan.
The first time we come across Satan is in the Garden of Eden where he appears as a serpent. He is always pictured as a snake, but a serpent is more than just a snake. The dictionary says a serpent is a creature that crawls, hisses, bites, stings and deceives. So snakes, lizards, scorpions, and dragons etc. The narrative says that Satan was the snake in the Garden was Satan, but Genesis does not say it was Satan. In the ESV it says the snake was more cunning than any ‘other’ beast of the field. However, in the Hebrew here is no ‘other’ The word other in the ESV says it is a talking a beast, a serpent, but with the word not there it says it is not an animal of the field. Why then do we call it Satan. The clearest scripture is Rev 12;9
“And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.”
Satan is called a dragon by Jesus, so is he a snake or a dragon, or does he have the ability to change his shape? We are going to see that he and all cherubim have this ability.
The Bibles also says, “Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made.” So two things, “than any beast” not that he was a beast but just more cunning, and also he spoke which the beasts cannot do. What this is saying, he is not human, but he is not one of the beasts of the field. It just says he is more intelligent than the beast of the fields, but not as smart as man. Something in between, a cherub. We will see later how this intelligence level has significant effects on Satan's actions.
Satan is punished for this crime of deceiving Eve. The result and punishment arising from this sin have had an eternal effect for all women and all cherubim.
Gen 6-14 The Lord God said to the serpent,
“Because you have done this,
cursed are you above all livestock
and above all beasts of the field;
on your belly you shall go,
and dust you shall eat
all the days of your life.
(We will see this is not the griffin type dragon of Tartaria, but the dragon of Chinese mythology.)
15 “I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and her offspring;
he shall bruise your head,
and you shall bruise his heel.”
-The woman is Israel, her offspring, Christians. The head and heals are references to the stars in the heavens.
14 Says his curse is more than any live stock. I am not sure what this means, but once again it is saying he is not some form of animal or reptile.
First we look at; The Lord God said to the serpent,
“Because you have done this,
cursed are you above all livestock
and above all beasts of the field;”
In the garden the beasts, tame and wild, eat vegetation. They do not eat each other. Once they leave the Garden, they have to eat meat or be eaten by others. A curse of the fall on all the creatures. Satan's lot will be worse than that.
“On your belly you shall go,
and dust you shall eat
all the days of your life.”
On your belly you shall go, a crawling lowly life. Not one of a majestic angel. Dust you shall eat is another description of a lowly life. It is these pictures of Satan that give rise to the snake image. I'm afraid that's not right, but it can give credence to the idea that Satan was once majestic and beautiful. After the curse, he had to look like a dragon in his resting state. The situation where all cherubim now look like dragons in their resting state is not clear. Maybe Satan did not act alone, but it was a conspiracy among all the cherubim who did not like the creation of man.
Satan is called a guardian cherub in Ezekiel. The only thing he can be a guardian of is other cherubs. In Revelations 12 it states, Satan and ‘his’ angels. The pronoun ‘his’ denotes ownership.
If this was a group effort by the cherubim, then how many were there and what roles did they play. Cherubim and Seraphim are mentioned many times in the bible. In fact, 35 as cherubim and more as Seraphim in Isaiah. Seraphim and Cherubim are the angels closest to the father. It appears that the seraphim are the more powerful. Seraphim are seen flying above the father's throne, while cherubim are seen around the base of the father’s throne. The seraphim have a human shape, while cherubim are the shape of a dragon but can take on human form. They both have six wings. We are looking at the cherubim because Satan was a cherub.
| Major Health Alert: the Extraordinary Genetically Modified Invasion of Our Supermarkets by Stealth |
| Many of you have written and asked about the current prevalence of genetically modified foods and the potential health risks. An up to date answer to this question comes as a huge surprise even to the team at the Hatchard Report. Today's article lists the affected products, and discusses the history and industry pressure which created a regulatory framework lax enough to allow the genetic engineering of the preparation and content of most supermarket foods. Food processing aids, enzymes, additives, flavours and colours were originally derived from natural plant and animal sources, With the rise of mass production in the food industry these were required in greater quantities to ensure that industrial-scale fast continuous processes turned out products of uniform appearance, taste and consistency. As a result, food industry chemists invented batch fermentation techniques whereby naturally occurring bacterial strains such as lactic acid bacteria (LAB) facilitated the necessary cell replication and proliferation at a mass scale. More recently batch fermentation has become dominated by genetically modified microorganisms (GMMs). These GMMs are designed to tailor and accelerate the fermentation processes. A 2023 paper entitled "Bioengineered Enzymes and Precision Fermentation in the Food Industry" reports: "Enzymes have been used in the food processing industry for many years. However, the use of native [naturally occurring] enzymes is not conducive to high activity, efficiency, range of substrates, and adaptability to harsh food processing conditions. The advent of enzyme engineering approaches such as rational design, directed evolution, and semi-rational design provided much-needed impetus for tailor-made enzymes with improved or novel catalytic properties. Production of designer enzymes became further refined with the emergence of synthetic biology and gene editing techniques and a plethora of other tools such as artificial intelligence, and computational and bioinformatics analyses which have paved the way for what is referred to as precision fermentation for the production of these designer enzymes more efficiently." Ostensibly, these genetically modified processes are supposed to be more efficient and produce purer products however these routinely differ in critical ways from their natural counterparts. As a result, the food industry pushed very hard for the GMM processes to be unregulated and unidentified on food content labels. For example a 2022 article entitled "Recombinant DNA in fermentation products is of no regulatory relevance" deceptively suggested that fermentation products produced via GMM techniques are "more sustainable". It stated: "There is no meaningful rationale for using recombinant DNA for regulatory classification of fermentation products." It argued that too much regulation would de-incentivize innovation in industrial biotechnology, and introduced instead a concept called "proportionate regulation", which amounts to little if any regulation. In the end, their view has prevailed around the world. The role of GMMs in food production has escaped identification on labels. The scope of the revolution in GM food production beggars belief. The list of everyday products now produced with the aid of genetically modified microorganisms is seemingly endless and includes the following. Amylases: which catalyse the hydrolysis of starch into sugars, aimed at improving the quality and shelf life of bread and other baked goods Proteases: which hydrolyze proteins, used in meat tenderisers, infant formula, and to improve the flavour of milk and cheese Pectinases: which hydrolyze pectin, used in juice clarification and fruit pulp treatment Transglutaminases: Cross-link proteins, which are used in meat and fish Galactosidase: Reduces viscosity in grain legumes and lupins, which are used in animal feed Glucanase: Reduces viscosity in oats and barley, which are used in animal feed Invertase: Hydrolyzes sucrose to produce invert sugar syrup which is used in baked goods, candies (including chocolates, truffles, toffees, marshmallows, taffies, and caramels), sweetened beverages (including soft drinks, iced tea, etc.), frozen treats (including ice cream and sorbets), beer and commercial kombucha Lactase: Hydrolyzes lactose and whey to develop products free from lactose for lactose-intolerant people. It is also used to produce frozen yoghurt Lactic Acid: used in the production of cultured butter Lipase: Supports lipid digestion in young animals, and is used in cheese flavouring and dough conditioning Citric Acid: used in stock cubes, commercial citric juices, jams, preserves, canned tomatoes, wine, ice cream, sorbets Xanthan Gum: a stabiliser and thickener which is used in fruit juices, salad dressings, sauces, gravies, gluten-free products, low-fat foods and vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free processed products Amino Acids: The human body needs 20 amino acids to function properly. Synthetically produced copies are added as flavour enhancers Monosodium Glutamate MSG: A flavour enhancer commonly used in Chinese and Asian foods. Also used in instant noodles, potato chips, hot dogs, lunch meats, pepperoni, bacon, pastrami, sausages, salami, chicken, beef, salmon, mackerel, scallops, crab, shrimp, canned tuna, frozen pizzas, crackers, deli meats, etc. Aspartame: Artificial sweetener used in diet drinks and other products labelled as sugar free Vegetarian Rennet: produced by Pfizer and others, used to make 75% of cheese world wide Vitamins: like riboflavin (B2) added to flour, and a great many other vitamins which are used in a very wide range of foods including milk alternatives like almond milk, etc. Beta-Carotene: just one of the many engineered colours now used in a huge range of foods including margarine, cheese, fruit juices, baked goods, and dairy products. Also used to enhance the colour of processed meats like bacon, spam, corned beef, and sausages, vegetarian meat substitutes, pet food, and tomato ketchup. Vanillin: a synthetic vanilla flavour used in ice cream, baked goods, chocolate, aromatherapy, coffee, alcoholic beverages, perfumes often falsely identified as 'natural' on the labels. I'm going to stop there and take a deep breath. The full list would run to thousands of products. Virtually all of the above are produced overseas and imported into NZ where they are widely used in food production. What can you say? All of them are processed foods, but many of them are found in the cupboards of even the most ardent natural food advocates. Is this a done deal with no turning back? Even the organic industry has accepted that additives produced using GMMs can be used in organic products as long as no GMMs are present, but the industry doesn't have the resources to test compliance. Universal genetic contamination ignored by lax regulatory authorities A paper published in 2021 entitled "GEMs: genetically engineered microorganisms and the regulatory oversight of their uses in modern food production" lays out the regulatory framework (or lack of it) very clearly. Foods produced via processes using genetically engineered microorganisms do not need to be labelled as GMO. They fall under Generally Recognised As Safe (GRAS) categories. It has been presumed by regulators that the genetically modified microorganisms used during batch fermentation will not be present in the final products. However, the latest research shows this to be a false assumption. Recent research has found that residual GMM contamination is present in virtually all products produced via batch fermentation using genetically modified microorganisms. A study published in 2025 in the journal Food Chemistry: Molecular Sciences is entitled "Metagenomics-based tracing of genetically modified microorganism contaminations in commercial fermentation products. It reports on a well-hidden and seldom mentioned dirty secret—namely genetic contamination, saying: "Genetically modified microorganisms (GMM) are frequently employed for the production of microbial fermentation products such as food enzymes. Although presence of the GMM or its recombinant DNA in the final product is not authorised, contaminations occur frequently." It found GMM contamination in all 16 biosynthesised food enzymes it examined including the very concerning presence of antibiotic resistant genes, thus highlighting possible public health risks of biosynthesis. The GMMs used in batch fermentation are catalytic bacterial engines specifically designed to accelerate and maximise cell proliferation. Their presence equates to a possible theoretical risk of malignant cellular growth and interference with beneficial microbial processes in the gut. We have used the term 'theoretical' only because no one has been required to research their real life health outcomes. A paper entitled rDNA Traces in Fermentation Products Using Genetically Modified Microorganisms (GMMs) spells out the EU policy on such contamination. Apparently to side step the issue, GMM contamination is classified as a 'residue' which does not need identification on labels because it is not an 'ingredient'. An argument which qualifies for the double speak of the year award. It is presumed to be covered by other food legislation designed to protect purity. In fact there is virtually no regulatory effort to test for GMM contamination. In practice, foods produced using GMMs are presumed safe and remain untested. Regulators have given up and bowed to industry pressure. All of these players are fully aware that if GMM processes were identified on labels many consumers would be rightly very cautious and exercise their preference for traditional ingredient sources. The biosynthetic industry wishes to avoid this at all costs as it pushes ahead with more and more genetically modified food substitution. Our entire food chain has been polluted with GMMs As a result, genetically engineered bacteria have been rapidly and secretly introduced into the increasingly globalised food chain on a false presumption of safety unsupported by any testing of health outcomes. GMMs are not genetically similar to naturally occurring foods nor can they be presumed safe, they contain artificial sequences of genetic instructions potentially capable of interfering with immune processes key to the maintenance of good health and they are now present in foods across the entire spectrum of supermarket processed and packaged goods. It is well known that even very minor changes in genetic structures down to the level of single codons can critically affect health, but industry, government and regulators are determined to turn a blind eye to the potentially serious risks to health. We already know that processed foods are at the heart of a burgeoning public health crisis, causing rising rates of cancers, heart disease, inflammation and auto-immune conditions which have suddenly accelerated in recent years. Conversely, as I explain in my book Your DNA Diet, fresh foods from natural sources promote better health outcomes. The biosynthetic revolution is replacing these natural sources using genetically engineered processes. Since 1990, the use of biosynthesis has gradually accelerated in foods, medicines, and the environment. Over the last five years it has become ubiquitous and all but unavoidable for working people. To avoid GMMs make an effort to find fresh food sources, go to your local organic supplier or farmers market. Cook at home using traditional methods, do your research, and cooperate with neighbours. Local networks are becoming increasingly important. The summary point to make here is the novel genetic nature of the contamination. These are not minute traces of potentially toxic chemicals such as pesticides, they are active sequences of genetic instructions capable of interfering with the fundamental basis of our health. In other words, they are prime suspects in the search for the causes of the current tsunami of ill health. Incredibly, our NZ government, rather than tightening up on consumer safeguards and labelling, proposes to completely ignore the warning signs and go full monty on biotech deregulation. LAST CHANCE TO HAVE YOUR SAY We are at a crossroads where decisions made will affect us all for generations. Find out more by viewing our YouTube video The Gene Technology Bill. What Kiwis Need To Know and then make a submission to the Health Select Committee this weekend by Monday February 17th. There are many reasons to reject the Gene Technology Bill. We have published suggestions for a submission template, but you can make your own submission of any length. Even just saying that full disclosure labelling of gene edited origins including food ingredients produced via genetically modified microorganisms needs to be mandated will make a significant point. The more submissions that are received, the more it can become clear to the government that we care about our natural foods. Be warned, MPs are telling their constituents that clear labelling of GMO content will continue as before. This is not the case, the word 'label' appears zero times in the Bill, yet it replaces earlier legislation. The Bill will exempt most CRISPR products and all GMMs from any regulation or control. We should not accept politicians misleading us whether intentionally or not. We do not live in a country where people are willing to let others take away their food choices, their rights, their beliefs and increase exposure to serious long term environmental and health risks. To protect this, we need to stand up and be heard. Keep using your voice at this critical time. Guy Hatchard PhD This article is from the Hatchard Report. |
From the ancient tales woven into the fabric of fairy stories to the detailed accounts of giants in archaeology Regrettably, discussing this subject often leads to immediate dismissal, as the term 'giant' evokes images from fairy tales, like the giant from 'Jack and the Beanstalk' or the 'Giant of Despair' found in the allegorical narrative of 'Pilgrim's Progress.'ants in the Bible. The enigmatic legends echoing through the valleys of Afghanistan to the detailed accounts of US soldiers in Afghanistan, seeing and fighting with giants have captivated humanities imagination. These towering figures, often shrouded in myth and mystery, bridge the gap between the sacred texts of old and the modern world, where 3000 skeletons of giants have been found in the USA alone. Sparking curiosity and debate among scholars, historians, and adventurers alike. In this exploration, we will unveil the giants that populate both biblical narratives and contemporary folklore, delving into their cultural significance and the clear and enduring facts that surround them.
The slogan "In the valley of the Jolly. Ho! Ho! Ho! Green Giant!" originated from a well-known television commercial that was broadcast during the 1960s, promoting 'Green Giant' canned vegetables, featuring their mascot, the chant-loving Green Giant.
In addition, numerous deceptive articles filled with digitally altered images of archaeologists purportedly uncovering the remains of 80-foot giants contribute to a climate of scepticism regarding this topic. Creating photographic images with giants in ordinary situations became quite popular in the 1800s.
Join us on a journey that spans continents and epochs, as we connect the dots between ancient scriptural accounts and the intriguing stories that emerge from the landscapes of the South Pacific, Afghanistan, and America. Discover how these legends continue to shape our understanding of history. We will track the record of giants through history. That there is a real story to these beings that the religion of Scientism has tried to scrub from history.
Ancient Giants, tales and stories of giants are a universal phenomenon found in nearly every human culture throughout recorded human history. When these various accounts are examined, one common theme emerges, namely that the giants all look the same. 10 to 13 feet tall, red hair and relatively hairy. From Egypt to the USA, from Serbia to New Zealand.
Genesis 6-4/5
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterwards, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man, and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.
This scripture is often read as the angels fathered the giants and the internet is full of wild predictions about what they are, can do, and will do. Yet, it clearly states that Nephilim or giants were on the earth before the angels came down to women and after that happened. We will assume that these angels mated with women up to the time of the flood. If God had moved against them before that, some mention of that would have been recorded. The giants were separate and different from the children of the angels. The scripture says that there are two types of giants. The ones that existed, and these mighty men were also giants. If you are not saying that, then why mention, there were giants there already. The mighty men of renown. Gilgamesh, Hercules', Achilles and other half man, half God characters of history.
The word Nephilim causes confusion. In Hebrew, it means, The Fallen/Falling Ones, the Extraordinary Ones, Cloud People. The name meaning fallen relates them to fallen angels. The pre-flood angels that did not keep their place and, as a result, got themselves locked up in the Abyss. The most famous of these was Abaddon. They are not the fallen angels of the Bible, The fallen angels are the angels that supported Satan and went to war against God and got thrown out of heaven. Nephilim name means (fallen), dumb, (extraordinary) very strong, (cloud people), tall.
There are no pre flood accounts of what these giants did or how they behaved. We know that they existed after the angels were thrown into the Abyss and the mighty men were swept away by the flood.
How did they survive the flood? Stories exist like there was DNA of giants in the wives of the sons of Noah and when they started having children some of them were giants. That would mean that they did not exist for a while and reappeared, which is not what the Bible says. They must have survived some other way. I doubt that the giants saw Noah building a boat and thought that looks fun and built one themselves. Maybe they were partially buoyant and floated around for all that time. No, there is only one way they survived. They were on the ark.
Genesis 6 18/19
But I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you. And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ark to keep them alive with you.
The giants are not men, they were peaceful, even though they can be violent if needed. They did not suffer the same punishment as man. They are part of ‘every living thing of all flesh’. We do know they have some level of intelligence above the beasts of the field. They can also speak. The animals were saved in pairs, but some were saved in seven pairs. There were fourteen giants on the Ark. I suspect that not only were they on the Ark, they helped tend the animals and probably helped Noah build the Ark.
You have probably never heard this argument put forward before. It is not very exciting, but just plain common sense.
If they are not the children of the watchers, then where did they come from? Were they created in the beginning on the fifth day with the various animals? Adam had to tend the garden. The garden ran between two rivers, the Tigris and the Euphrates. The rivers of those names that exist today were named after those rivers and are not them. We are talking of an area of hundreds of square kilometres. One man could not tend that, so who helped? Were the giants these early gardeners, who could speak with Adam and get instructions. To have a language, they had to be intelligent far beyond animals. Much closer to humans.
The earliest records or folk stories have giants being the progeny of Gaia and Tartarus. These ancient tales often have a reality to them that gets distorted over time. Gaia being the earth goddess. The earth produces and gives life to everything. Therefore, this goddess is given female characteristics. This is not an actual goddess but the characteristics of a being. This is just the dirt. Giants were created out of the earth or dirt. That fits the gardener theory. Tartarus is connected to the underworld. It is both the name of a person and a place. We would call him Hades these days. He is a form of cherubim or seraphim and does not have the ability to create life. Now we have a problem if we think of it in today's terms. If we think of it as of what existed in the beginning, where there were only two realms that were occupied. The heaven with the father, Jesus and the angels and paradise where man walked. The underworld would have been the land of soil. Jesus would have had the roll of that Tartarus had in his underworld.
Jesus created the giants in the beginning on the fifth day. There is a chance that it may have been the sixth day because we are so much alike, and as we will see, could cross-breed with humans.
2. Historical Context: Giants in other Biblical texts.
When the Israelites turn up back at the land of Canaan, they discovered that there were giants there. It was this fear of giants that caused them to roam the wilderness for forty years.
Numbers 13 32/33
And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants), and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”
They are saying how strong the people were who lived in the land and the sons of Anak were living among them. That is not saying that giants were some kind of monsters, but social beings who could live at peace with their neighbours. As the Israelites travelled the wilderness they came across giants and mentioned them, King Og they will come across again and kill him.
These giants are not only mentioned in the Bible. They have Egyptian texts talking about the land of Canaan, saying that there were giants there. In ancient Egypt, it was customary to inscribe the names of their adversaries from other nations onto pottery bowls or figurines. After completing this task, they would destroy the items, believing that doing so would place a magical curse upon their foes. A particular shard of broken pottery contains the names of three individuals who were leaders of the Iy-'anaq, likely referring to the Anak or Anakim. The translation provided below comes from James Pritchard's publication, 'Ancient Near Eastern Texts Relating to the Old Testament,' which includes references to men specifically identified in the Bible as descendants of the Anakim, Emin and the Rephaim, noted for their notable stature.
In the Bible there is a bit more information about two of the Giants.
The first of these is King Og among a number of kings who were defeated. He had been earlier mentioned in Deuteronomy. The size of his bed being 13.5 feet. The last of a family of giants of Rephaim. There are often references to places where the giants used to live. Goliath and his brother Lahmi are both mentioned as being killed by the Israelites. Goliath was 6 cubits and a span tall. That is 9.5 feet tall or 290cm. Sounds tall, but we will see that is relatively small for a giant. Among men, he was a towering character, however among giants he was a runt. King Sauls son Johnathan is also recorded as killing a giant.
Goliath, his brother, another giant, were warriors for the Philistines. The Philistines being part of the Phoenicians Who’s greatest king, Hiram, was Satan himself.
Initially, when the Israelites dispatched spies, they discovered many giants residing in the land. Upon their return, it seemed that this number had significantly diminished. By the time King David emerged, these giants were confined only to the Philistine territory. The final reference to them appears in Chronicles 20, which records the death of Goliath's brother.
The Giant of Bamiyan is a legendary figure steeped in Afghan folklore and history. Towering above the ancient city of Bamiyan, once stood two monumental Buddha statues carved into the cliffs, believed to have been constructed in the 6th century. These colossal figures, measuring 55 and 37 meters in height, not only served as impressive works of art but also as a testament to the region's significance along the Silk Road.
According to local legends, the Giant of Bamiyan was a 15 foot tall benevolent protector of the valley and its people. With unparalleled strength and wisdom, he was said to have roamed the rugged mountains and lush valleys, ensuring the safety of the villagers from invading forces and natural disasters. The stories often depict him as a figure of profound compassion—helping those in need and ensuring prosperity for the land.
In recent years, excavations around the ancient city of Bamiyan, known for its striking Buddha statues, have revealed artefacts that hint at a bygone era where extraordinary beings may have walked the earth. Among these findings are oversized skeletal remains unearthed in remote cave systems, leading archaeologists to wonder whether these remnants could belong to a race of giants described in religious texts.
However, the Giant's presence was not merely one of protection but also of mystery. Local tales recount how he could communicate with the elements, harnessing the winds and the rivers to aid his people. Some legends suggest that the shadow of the Giant could be seen at twilight, casting a protective aura over Bamiyan. A good example of how legends grow.This benevolent giant was blessed by God that his descendants would live to the end of the age. When the USA sent forces to Afghanistan, there were a number of occurrences of soldiers coming across giants. The most famous being the Giant of Kandahar.
In 2002, a group of soldiers disappeared in a secluded mountainous area of Kandahar, located in southern Afghanistan. Following a prolonged loss of radio contact, the military sent a special operations unit to conduct an investigation.
During their search, the team encountered a cave situated high in the mountains, where they found scattered Army gear but no signs of the missing troops. This led to the discovery of what is now known as the Kandahar Giant. Some sources asserting that the creature stood at an astonishing 13 feet (3.96 metres) tall. Described as having red hair, wearing leather moccasins, and exuding a stench reminiscent of “dead corpses,” the giant reportedly emerged from the cave and fatally speared one of the soldiers before being shoot dead. There are interviews with the soldiers on YouTube. Plus statements from the helicopter pilots saying they took the body to an airbase. The Giant of Uruzgan was recorded as being 13 ft (3.96 m) tall. He was spotted by an Australian soldier on sentry duty. There were half a dozen times they came across giants with radio-controlled planes. The Afghan peasants often warned soldiers not to go places because there were giants there. It is highly likely that Afghanistan is the last place on earth where, the giants roam.
The Chinese giants.
The history of giants has been wiped clean by the communists. However, Some ancient Chinese texts, such as the Shan Hai Jing (《山海经》, Classic of Mountains and Seas), describe giant-like creatures or people. These texts, which blend geography, mythology, and mention beings of extraordinary size and strength. There are some modern discoveries as well. In 2016, a giants' graveyard was discovered in Jiaojia, a village in China's Shandong province. Several hundred bodies, with children about 1.8mtrs tall and the adults around 3 to 4mtrs tall. There is an area in China with people over 2mtrs is regular. They were taken to places all across China over the generations for work and in modern times for sporting purposes.
Kublai Khan ruled the eastern Tartarian empire and China. When war closed the Silk Road, he promoted sea exploration and trade. Great Chinese fleets travelled the world. Especially the Pacific. The seafaring boats were just giant junks. They were not very agile and tended to be blown by prevailing winds. We often call them the trade winds. There are giant circles of wind that covered the North and South Pacific. All the peoples of the Pacific are Chinese in origin. On some of these huge ships they used the giants of Shandong to do the tasks ordinary men found very difficult. Other times they were taken to do special tasks that took great strength. To work with the Kauri trees of New Zealand. These ships would be communities with wives and families. If the ships were wrecked, an event not uncommon, they would simply settle where they were. The remains of these boats have been found in the USA, Australia and New Zealand. Carrying with them giants to all the Pacific. These fleets stopped suddenly in the late 1400s when a new government became isolationist. Returning fleets had to give up sailing or leave and settle somewhere else. Many left and settled in the Pacific region, with the largest of twelve ships ending up in New Zealand.
The Solomon Islands
This arises from the Second World War. The story is told by the Japanese soldiers. When the Americans landed on the Solomon Islands, the Japanese were driven into the depths of the jungle. Then soldiers started to disappear or be torn apart. The beings hunting the Japanese became bolder and started to be seen. They were 10 to 13 feet (3.96 m) tall with red hair. When the locals were asked about the creatures, they confirmed that there were large people who lived in the jungle. Not only in the jungle, there was another group that lived in the cave system. The Solomon Island giants add another twist to the story of giants. There were claims by women that the babies they were carrying were because they were impregnated by giants. When the children were born, they did grow into very tall people. Giants and humans can cross-breed.
The Giant of Uluru, Northern Australia.
The story of the giant of Uluru is a little different. This giant was discovered by a team of archaeologists from the University of South Australia. Uluru formally known Ayers Rock, a giant rock in the middle of Australia. A place of great spiritual importance to the Aboriginals. The unusual thing about this giant was it is the largest giant ever found. This giant was 18 feet (5.49 metres) tall.
There have been many thousands of graves found of giants. Generally, they are 10 to 13 feet (3.96 m) tall.
Giants of New Zealand.
The first Maori arrived in New Zealand in the early 1200s the same time Kublai Khan sent out his fleets. The great fleet of twelve ships arrived in the late 1400s when China became isolationist.
In his book, The Old Frontier, James Cowan shared the Legend of Kiharoa, a formidable chief of the Ngāti-Raukawa and Ngāti-Whakatere tribes who stood twice the size of a normal man. He described a notable feature close to the village of Whenuahou referred to as the "Giant’s Grave."
Measuring between 12 and 14 feet (4.27 m) in length and 4 feet (1.22 m) in width, this grave sparked Cowan's curiosity. Upon inquiring about it, he discovered the story from two warriors belonging to the Ngāti-Maniapoto tribe. Cowan noted that it appeared there had indeed been a genuine giant, a man with extraordinary size and reach, wielding the hand-weapons of his era, dating back six generations.
There was another giant of these parts long ago, one Matau; like Kiharoa, he was a man of the Ngati-Raukawa tribe, and, too, his favourite weapon was the taiaha. He lived on a hill above the Wairaka River. His home was in a palisaded hole in a cliff above the cave called Te Ana Kai-tangata (“The Cannibal’s Cave”). A name generations old.
Abel Tasman described very tall people when he sailed close to the Three Kings Islands near Cape Reinga. He noted that “Upon the highest mountain of the island they saw 35 persons, who were very tall, and had staves or clubs. When they walked, they took very large strides.” A picture drawn by a sailor showed them to be 12 feet tall. This gave rise to the stories among early navigators that New Zealand was inhabited by giants. This account is not dissimilar to Magellan's account of meeting giants in Patagonia or southern Argentina.
Moriori
This was an earlier group of Maori that lived in New Zealand when the great fleet arrived. Descendent of the Chinese and giants that arrived in New Zealand in the twelve hundreds. They had fairer skin and many had red hair. Clearly descendants of giants. After early conflicts, they settled in together and intermarried. As a child living in New Zealand, you would occasionally come across a Maori who had fair skin and red hair. While never strikingly tall, they were never short.
Numerous North American Indian tribes, including the Iroquois, Osage, Tuscaroras, Hurons, and Omahas, recount tales of enormous beings that inhabited and wandered through the lands of their ancestors. More than two thousand reports of skeletons measuring seven feet or more have been discovered in ancient burial grounds across North America during a span of two hundred years. These findings have been documented in newspapers, local and regional histories, correspondence, scholarly journals, and personal diaries. In the book, Giants on Record, they have a map of where these giants skeletons were discovered. While they were found all over the country, there was a much denser number around the old Tartarian cities of Chicago and San Francisco.
One of the giants was the second tallest recorded at nearly eighteen feet (5,4m).
In the rolling hills of America, where Native American folklore speaks of the “Si-Te-Cah” giants who once inhabited the land, the remains being found all over North America. There destruction and the efforts to wipe giants from history by the worshippers of the religion of scientism.
In the heart of the American wilderness, tales of giant creatures echo through the canyons and forests, drawing on centuries of folklore while intertwining with contemporary encounters. From the towering peaks of the Rocky Mountains to the dense thickets of the Appalachian Trail, witnesses have come forth with astonishing reports of colossal beings that challenge the very fabric of reality as we know it. Some stories speak of explorers being badly injured and being nursed back to health by these gentle giants. Indian stories of seeing these gigantic people running down bison on foot and killing them with clubs.
Many of these sightings describe enormous humanoid figures, often standing over ten feet tall, with broad shoulders and an imposing presence. These modern-day giants were frequently reported in remote areas, alas as time went on these stories became less and less. It has been sixty years since a believable sighting. Campers and hikers have recounted chilling experiences, claiming to have glimpsed these giants in the shadows or felt their ground-shaking footsteps long before they ever saw anything. Coming across them by chance face to face in some remote corner of the planet.
In other regions, such as the remote deserts of the Southwest, reports of giant beings have taken on a more cynical tone, with tales told by Native American tribes for generations. The stories often describe massive beings with supernatural abilities, guardians of the land who can blend seamlessly into their environment. These narratives had a large community of giants that kept to themselves. The Indians kept their distance, as they would become aggressive if approached. When the Europeans arrived, there were several violent clashes reported. Suddenly, they disappeared. The caves where they lived were searched, but no one alive or dead was found. Eighty giants walking off to some other place would not have gone unnoticed. Their disappearance was a mystery. Then several years later, a soldier told a story of how they were ordered to surround the giants and kill every last one. None were to escape. The bodies were put in carts and taken away.
The Smithsonian Museum used to display giant bones and artefacts, now they deny everything. The finger is pointed at them as to who murdered the last of the American giants.
Giants have loomed large in folklore and mythology across cultures, serving as powerful symbols of strength, chaos, and the boundaries of human understanding. From the towering Nephilim in the Bible, whose very existence sparked debates about divine and earthly realms, to the frost giants of Norse mythology, these colossal beings embody themes that resonate with humanity's deepest fears and aspirations. In many narratives, giants are depicted as guardians of ancient knowledge, wielders of nature’s fury, or formidable adversaries that heroes must confront to achieve greatness.
In contemporary culture, the notion of giants continues to captivate our imagination, evolving into metaphors for larger-than-life challenges or obstacles that individuals must confront. Whether in literature, film, or art, the portrayal of giants serves as a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern dilemmas, urging us to reflect on the giants we face in our own lives—be they societal issues, personal struggles, or the allure of the unknown. Thus, the role of giants in folklore transcends mere storytelling; it invites us to explore our fears, confront our limitations, and ultimately, to seek understanding within the vast, mysterious expanse of our existence.
While all the time being stories of real being with real problems. Finding shelter, raising families and so on.
The tales of giants—colossal beings of immense power and stature—have woven their way through culture across continents and centuries. From the towering Nephilim of biblical lore to the enigmatic legends preserved in the oral traditions of indigenous tribes, these stories resonate deeply within the collective psyche. The psychological impact of giant legends on society is profound, shaping our fears, aspirations, and understanding of the human experience.
At their core, these legends often reflect humanity's struggle against overwhelming odds. Giants symbolize not just physical strength, but also the daunting challenges and adversities we face in life. The very act of confronting a giant—be it a literal creature or a metaphorical obstacle—serves as a powerful narrative device that empowers individuals and communities. These stories encourage us to find courage in the face of adversity, to rise above our limitations, and to challenge the giants in our own lives, be they societal issues, personal fears, or existential threats.
Furthermore, the psychological impact of giants extends into the realms of community and identity. Shared stories of giants can unite people across cultural divides, providing a common ground where different backgrounds can converge. They become symbols of cultural resilience, embodying the values, struggles, and triumphs of the societies that tell their tales. As modernity continues to reshape our world, these legends help preserve a sense of heritage and belonging, reminding us of our shared humanity.
7. In Summary.
While the religion of Scientism has driven the modern world to think of giants in fairy tales terms, these people have lived very real lives that have been recorded through history.
They were created at the same time as man to be helpers in the garden. Had to leave at the same time as Adam. They did not get caught up in the same sins as man. Their daughters were not beautiful enough to attract the interest of angels. These angels did not keep their place because they wanted to rebel. It was the beauty of the daughters of man that led to their downfall. The giants escaped the flood on the ark.
There they lived with man. As man's numbers increased, man forgot the bond between them, and enmity grew between them. Sometimes there was peace, sometimes the giants were enslaved to do work for man. All over the world, there are stone structures that we have no idea how man was able to achieve. These were all done by twelve—foot tall super strong giants. Often they were just hunted for sport or to show feats of strength. They left living with man and set up communities away from where man lived. As the numbers of men grew, they spread out, diving the giants before them. Eventually, man went to all corners of the earth and there was no place left for them. North America was the last place where large numbers lived. By this stage, the Satanic religion of Scientism had become dominant. There was no place for Biblical giants to live in the scientism world. Therefore, the last of them were hunted and murdered, leaving no communities. Just the odd story of a hiker, coming across giant beings in the remotest places on the earth. That leads us to today where there are no giants left except in Afghanistan. There, a few remain because of a covenant made with God to Bamiyan and his descendants. That they will see the coming of Jesus the King. The story of the giants is one of shame on mankind. A story of man's best friend betrayed.

There are countless secrets lurking behind the polished promises of the government and the medical establishment—things they’d rather you not question. What they tell you isn’t what’s taking place behind the curtain. Mistakes are quietly swept away, experiments proceed without public consent, and the truth is buried under a web of carefully crafted narratives and simplistic platitudes like “safe and effective.” What you don’t know can hurt you.
Here are nine things you probably don’t know about whooping cough and the whooping cough vaccine—and what the authorities may not want you to find out.

1. Nearly 100% Decrease in Death Rate Prior to Vaccination
Records from England and Wales dating back to 1838 show that fatalities due to whooping cough and various infectious diseases were close to non-existent before the introduction of vaccines and antibiotics. Specifically regarding whooping cough, this decline approached 100% before the launch of the DTP vaccine in 1957. In 1977, researcher Gordon T. Stewart noted that there was no indication linking the decrease in cases to the whooping cough vaccination.
From 1937 onwards, a consistent decrease was observed in both genders. The introduction of vaccination against whooping cough started in limited areas around 1948 and expanded nationally in 1957, yet it appears to have had no impact on the decline rate, assuming that a single infection typically grants immunity, similar to many significant childhood infectious diseases. Given that this trend was already firmly in place prior to 1957, there is no indication that vaccination significantly contributed to the reductions in incidence and mortality.
2. Sweden Paused Vaccination; Mortality Rates Remained Steady
Evaluations conducted in Sweden in 1978 revealed that 84% of children diagnosed with pertussis had already received three doses of the vaccine. Consequently, the whole-cell DTP vaccine was considered ineffective. Due to safety concerns surrounding the vaccine, the Swedish health ministry advised halting the whooping cough vaccination in 1979.
In 1978, the National Bacteriological Laboratory in Stockholm documented 5,140 confirmed cases of pertussis. An analysis of a subset revealed that among 620 children aged 1 to 6 years diagnosed with the illness, 521 (84%) had undergone three doses of the pertussis vaccination. Further inquiries indicated that 84% of the 38,015 preschool children born in Sweden between 1974 and 1978 had also received three doses of the pertussis vaccine. Due to the apparent lack of protective efficacy from the Swedish-produced vaccine, immunizations were halted in 1979.
By that time, confidence in the vaccine had significantly eroded, leading to a decrease in its potency until it was ultimately discontinued in 1979 on the basis of ineffectiveness and potential safety concerns. Presently, the incidence of pertussis in Sweden is beginning to revert to levels seen before the immunization period, although cases of the clinical disease are reported to be mild.
A correspondence from Victoria Romanus at the Swedish Institute of Infectious Disease Control reveals that the incidence of fatalities due to whooping cough has remained very low, even in the absence of a nationwide vaccination initiative. Between 1981 and 1993, only 8 child fatalities were attributed to pertussis, resulting in an annual average of approximately 0.6 deaths potentially caused by the disease. The likelihood of succumbing to pertussis in Sweden was about 1 in 13,000,000, even without a national vaccination strategy.
Historical data illustrated in graphs from the 1860s until the initiation of whooping cough vaccinations in 1953 shows that mortality rates from pertussis in Sweden dropped by over 98 percent. During the 17-year period without the pertussis vaccination program from 1979 to 1996, Sweden recorded 7 deaths due to pertussis, compared to 10 fatalities in the preceding 17 years and 9 deaths in the subsequent 17 years after the program resumed. The implementation of pertussis vaccination initiatives did not yield a significant impact on deaths associated with pertussis in Sweden.
3. Decline in Vaccination Rates in England, No Rise in Deaths
An extensive review of the comprehensive official statistics reveals a clear and significant decrease in fatalities from whooping cough from 1902 to 2008. Official records of DTP vaccine coverage in England began in 1970. However, by 1957, when national vaccination efforts were initiated, deaths due to whooping cough had nearly disappeared. In a 1984 publication, the authors observed that even though vaccination rates in England saw a substantial drop from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, the death toll remained stable without any increase.
The whooping cough epidemic that occurred in England during 1974-5 impacted a demographic where 80% of children were vaccinated against pertussis. At that period, concerns regarding the whooping cough vaccine led to a significant decline in immunisation rates, resulting in a substantial rise in reported cases. Nonetheless, the death toll has remained stable, and it has been proposed that the severity of the disease might now be reduced.
A research study released in 1984 found that hospitalizations and fatalities from whooping cough had decreased despite a drop in vaccination rates. This outcome contradicted expectations; if the vaccine effectively prevented severe illness, one would anticipate an increase in cases with fewer vaccinations.
Following the reduction in pertussis vaccination, there has been an unforeseen decline in both whooping cough admissions and mortality rates, impacting children of various ages and vaccination statuses alike.
4. The Severity of Whooping Cough Has Diminished
Parents often experience anxiety regarding whooping cough, picturing their children in distress due to severe coughing fits. Nevertheless, in 1981, Gordon T. Stewart characterized whooping cough as "typically mild... with most children managing to recover or resist it easily even in the absence of vaccination." Similarly, Douglas Jenkinson conducted a study in 1995 involving 500 instances of natural whooping cough, where he found that parents seldom recognized the distinct cough, leading him to the conclusion that “serious consequences are improbable.”
The majority of whooping cough instances are fairly mild. These cases can be challenging to identify without a strong level of suspicion since healthcare providers are not likely to detect the typical cough, which might be the sole indicator. Parents can be comforted by the fact that severe outcomes are improbable. Adults can also contract whooping cough, frequently catching it from their children, and exhibit symptoms similar to those of kids.
5. The Prevalence of Whooping Cough Bacteria
Estimates suggest that approximately one-third of adults and adolescents suffering from a persistent cough may be infected with B. pertussis. This holds true even for individuals who have received vaccinations or experienced the disease naturally.
It is crucial to highlight that all 13 investigations concerning prolonged cough in adolescents and adults have uncovered signs of B. pertussis infection. These research studies span six nations and cover seven regions in the United States over a 16-year timeframe, indicating that B. pertussis infection is commonplace among adolescents and adults.
Although whooping cough has historically been perceived as a childhood ailment, its presence in adults was well-documented nearly a hundred years ago, and it is now acknowledged as a significant contributor to respiratory illnesses in both adolescents and adults, including older adults. Due to diminishing immunity, pertussis can manifest in adolescents and adults even with a full history of vaccination or prior infection. Research conducted in Canada, Denmark, Germany, France, and the United States reveals that 12 to 32% of adults and adolescents with a cough lasting a week or longer are infected with Bordetella pertussis.
Sadly, the widespread belief that vaccination has effectively eliminated whooping cough often leads to a failure in accurate diagnosis, which skews the reported incidence rates.
The diagnosis of pertussis is often overlooked, primarily due to the misconception that whooping cough is strictly a children's disease, effectively managed through standard childhood vaccinations, along with the false assumption that immunity gained through disease or vaccination is permanent.
6. Neurological Damage Caused by Vaccines
For decades, the issue of potential neurological harm linked to vaccinations has been a contentious topic.
As early as the 1940s, research findings began to propose that vaccines could lead to serious neurological disorders, commonly referred to as vaccine encephalopathy.
A 1948 publication in Pediatrics examined cases of brain injury following vaccination. The article bears a striking resemblance to the surge of autism cases that would emerge in the following decades. The affected children, primarily boys, had shown normal development before vaccination, yet exhibited “acute cerebral” symptoms within hours after receiving the shot. This was followed by a regression or a “halt in further development.”
An analysis of medical records from the Children’s Hospital over the last decade revealed 15 occurrences where children exhibited acute cerebral symptoms shortly after being given the pertussis vaccine. These children, aged between 5 and 18 months, appeared to be developing normally according to parental accounts. Prior to vaccination, none had experienced seizures. Of the affected children, twelve were boys and three were girls, reflecting a gender difference seen with other neurotoxic substances, like lead, known to severely harm developing nervous systems. At the time of vaccination, the ages of the children ranged from 5 to 18 months. Comprehensive developmental assessments were available for all but two children, whose mothers reported normal development. Historical records indicated that many of the children had achieved milestones such as sitting, walking, and talking before being vaccinated; post-vaccination regressions or developmental stagnations were noted in several cases. Based on available information, none of the children appeared to have any pre-existing deficiencies before their acute illnesses.
In 1977, Dr. Gordon Stewart cautioned that the risks associated with the vaccine outweighed the likelihood of contracting whooping cough.
Due to a national shortfall in both epidemiological data and public comprehension, quantifying the prevalence of pertussis reaction syndrome or subsequent brain damage and cognitive impairment is challenging. It is estimated that incidence rates could be no lower than 1 in 60,000, but might reach as high as 1 in 10,000, or potentially even more in its temporary form.
7. Decline of Whooping Cough Vaccine Efficacy Within Three Years
Research led by Dr. David Witt, who heads the infectious disease department at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in San Rafael, California, has revealed that the effectiveness of the pertussis vaccine diminishes within a mere three years. “The vaccine administered to infants and young children shows a significant reduction in its effectiveness after just three years—much sooner than what was previously believed by healthcare professionals... It was unsettling to recognize that perhaps we had more faith in the vaccine than it warranted,” stated Dr. Witt, the principal investigator. Furthermore, renowned expert in pertussis, Dr. James D. Cherry, also highlighted that findings regarding Tdap indicate no protection after just three years.
In the United States, three separate studies assessed the effectiveness of the Tdap vaccine. The results indicated effectiveness rates of 75.3%, 73.0%, and 68.8% during the first year. However, after three years, there was nearly no evidence supporting the vaccine's effectiveness.
Witt and his team made an alarming discovery: the greatest incidence of the disease was found among children aged 8 to 12 who had completed their vaccination schedule.
Astonishingly, the highest rates of disease were recorded in children aged 8 to 12 who had already been vaccinated... Moreover, in both the 2-7 and 8-12 age brackets, there was no significant difference in disease occurrence between those who were fully vaccinated and those who were either partially vaccinated or unvaccinated.
8. Whooping Cough is Now Affecting Teenagers and Adults
Prior to the introduction of the pertussis vaccine, extended natural immunity was quite common due to familial and community interactions. During the 1940s, pertussis was primarily regarded as a disease affecting only children, and it was surprising if an adolescent or adult contracted it. The accompanying diagram illustrates that clinical cases were largely confined to children, while ongoing familial relationships allowed those with natural immunity to maintain it through regular contact with infected younger family members.
In the period before vaccination, children constituted the bulk of pertussis cases. Adults who had experienced pertussis in their youth benefitted from ongoing boosts to their acquired immunity due to repeated exposures within the community, while mothers provided their infants with immunity through the transfer of antibodies during pregnancy. However, as vaccination became widespread among children, this newly immunized group received protection, leading to a rise in pertussis cases among adolescents and adults who have lost their vaccine-derived immunity, alongside infants who are now receiving fewer passive antibodies than those born before the vaccine era and are also too young for immunization as per the current vaccination guidelines.
Vaccination has significantly altered the previous understanding, as vaccinologists were unaware of the immune pathways that lead to true, lasting herd immunity, differing from the misleading notion of vaccine-induced herd immunity. This lack of knowledge has led us to our current situation, as depicted in the accompanying figure. Instead of being primarily a disease affecting children, pertussis has increasingly occurred in adolescents and adults. More alarmingly, infants who previously benefited from strong maternal antibodies are now at risk. The pertussis vaccination program has fundamentally transformed the epidemiology of pertussis; it has disrupted the natural process by which individuals develop immunity, resulting in vaccinated individuals becoming carriers of pertussis bacteria that evolve into new strains.
This shift began in the 1950s with the administration of the whole cell vaccine, and it intensified when the introduction of the less effective but perceived "safer" acellular vaccine led to prolonged colonization of the airways upon re-exposure to pertussis bacteria.
9. Vaccines Effectively Alter the Immune System's Programming
The phrase “original antigenic sin” (OAS) was first introduced by Dr. Thomas Francis, a prominent figure during the age of the Salk vaccine, recognized for supervising and analyzing the outcomes of the most extensive (and contentious) polio vaccine trial ever conducted. He clarified the concept of OAS by illustrating it with the example of the natural influenza virus.
When an individual encounters an infectious disease for the first time, the immune system activates its innate defenses, which primarily consist of pre-existing antibodies and some forms of cellular immunity. During this encounter, the body prepares for potential future infections. When the same infectious agent is encountered again, the immune system relies on its memory of the previous encounter to produce specific antibodies and replicate cells that identify the invaders and respond more swiftly.
In contrast, once a vaccine is administered, and the actual microorganism appears later, the immune system responds based on the programming established by the vaccination, which is what is referred to as original antigenic sin (OAS). The response triggered by vaccination differs significantly from natural immunity and tends to be less effective. Dr. Cherry later refined the terminology used to describe this phenomenon, rebranding it as “linked epitope suppression,” while still addressing the underlying issue.
A prior study found that children who experienced failures with the DTaP vaccine demonstrated a diminished antibody response to the non-vaccine antigen ACT, while unvaccinated children infected with pertussis exhibited a robust antibody response to the same antigen. This is an example of linked epitope suppression, where the immune reaction to new epitopes is hindered by the strong response elicited by the original vaccine components.
Subsequently, another physician confirmed this information in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The reduced level of protection afforded by DTaP, whether after the initial vaccination or the complete primary series, could stem from linked epitope suppression. This phenomenon occurs when the first exposure to the vaccine establishes an immune response targeted at specific epitopes, thereby hindering the response to other connected epitopes in later vaccinations.
The DTaP vaccine contains only 3 to 5 antigens, in stark contrast to the over 3,000 found in the DTwP vaccine. This difference leads to a phenomenon known as linked-epitope suppression, also referred to as original antigenic sin. As a result, children who receive the DTaP vaccine are more vulnerable to pertussis for the entirety of their lives, and there is no straightforward solution to mitigate this elevated lifelong risk.
Vaccinologists Advocate for Increased Vaccination Despite Setbacks. At the outset, all vaccines were expected to provide lifelong protection for those who received them, particularly from whooping cough.
A local legend born from events surrounding a 19th century eruption of a New Zealand volcano continues to fascinate sceptics and folklorists alike.


In New Zealand's North Island, a legendary volcanic eruption was preceded by an ominous apparition on Lake Tarawera in 1886. On May 31st, a ghostly Maori canoe, a waka, propelled by a phantom crew, materialized out of the mist. Despite being seen and hailed by local guides and European tourists, the spectral vessel vanished into thin air, leaving behind a haunting tale that would become one of New Zealand's most enduring ghost stories.
The eerie vision turned out to be a harbinger of doom, as just eleven days later, Mt. Tarawera, which towers over the lake, erupted in a catastrophic event that would go down in history as one of the country's largest volcanic disasters.
The early morning explosion split the mountain open, creating new volcanic peaks and unleashing a massive plume of ash, rock, and steam that soared 10 kilometers into the air. Will similar supernatural warnings precede future volcanic eruptions, or are these modern prophecies of volcanic eruptions about to be fulfilled?

New Zealand is currently experiencing a surge of hundreds of small to medium-sized earthquakes, a phenomenon often seen as a precursor to volcanic eruptions.
This recent seismic activity is eerily reminiscent of the events leading up to a devastating eruption Mt Tarawera, which was foreshadowed by a series of earthquakes that were powerful enough to be felt as far away as Auckland. The eruption ultimately buried several villages, including Te Wairoa, under a massive amount of volcanic debris, resulting in an estimated 120 fatalities.
Eyewitness Accounts
Across cultures and throughout history, people have shared accounts of ghostly encounters, often relying on personal testimony and anecdotal evidence. The phenomenon of pareidolia, where random patterns are perceived as meaningful images, can also contribute to these claims. Sceptics, however, are quick to seize opportunities to debunk sightings that defy scientific explanation.
In contrast, a recent sighting on the lake stood out for its consistency, with both tourists and Sofia, a seasoned guide, providing remarkably similar accounts. Notably, there was no record of a war canoe being in use on the lake at the time. The eyewitnesses described the waka in vivid detail, with half of the warriors rowing while others stood with bowed heads, clad in flax robes.
In 1886, a passenger named Ms. Sise penned a letter to her son in Dunedin, recounting a remarkable encounter on the lake. As their boat sailed through the misty sunlight, they spotted a majestic canoe in the distance, teeming with Maori people, some of whom were standing upright. The sun's glint on the paddles caught her eye, but despite hailing the boat, they received no response. At the time, the incident seemed insignificant, and even Dr. Ralph barely gave it a glance.
However, upon their return to Te Wairoa that evening, they discovered that their Maori hosts were abuzz with excitement. According to McCrae, a local resident, and other Europeans, no such canoe had ever been seen on the lake before. This eerie experience was corroborated by a second sightseeing boat, whose passengers and guides also claimed to have witnessed the same mysterious waka.
One passenger, Josiah Martin, was so inspired that he even sketched a rendition of what they had seen. The Maori guides, adorned with feathers from the Huia and white heron birds - a ritual typically reserved for mourning the loss of a tribal member - were said to have been terrified by the warriors they saw.

In the 19th century, a natural wonder of the world was lost when a volcanic eruption submerged the shores of Lake Rotomahana, which flowed into Lake Tarawera. The catastrophe buried two renowned geological formations: the Pink and White Terraces.
The Pink Terrace, also known as Otukapuarangi or "fountain of the clouded sky", was a delicate, pink-hued silica formation. Its counterpart, the White Terrace or Te Tarata, meaning "the tattooed rock", was a larger, more dramatic structure featuring cascading white terraces created by the mineral-rich deposits of geothermally heated water.
