Who could have predicted a win by Hamas? Not even they themselves predicted for this to happen! The exit poles gave Hamas only a third of the potential vote, so how did it differ so drastically? Where in the world has this also happened where exit poles shows someone else will win and the final “count” resulted in the opposite effect? In United States of America of course! In the presidential election where Bush won with fewer votes over Gore.
So I wonder how this new “upset” in the world of “democracy” has happened. Is it possible that the result was again fabricated? Who would benefit from a militant group like Hamas taking control through an “open and free” election? Does this not maybe play into the hands of people looking to create an enemy for the world? Does this not maybe suit the “war lords”; United States of America’s fight against “terrorism”? Does this not play into the hands of Israel to justify putting up the wall of “apartheid” faster, further dividing the region?
So many questions, I know…I don’t have the answers for them! Or I should rather say, I think I know a portion of them but they are to depressing and scary to write about on this blog. Hamas winning this election is almost as scary as Bush winning a second term in the office!

Who writes our history?
I have thought about this subject many times. Who is responsible to write history books? I use the country I reside in (South Africa) as an example. Here we only have around 350 years of recorded history since the Europeans arrived. Those days it was mostly Dutch settlers but soon they were joined by French, English and other nationalities. After the Boer war this country became part of the British government and history books were written how the English defeated the Boers in their stand to try and establish their own country. Later the land was handed back to “the people” of South Africa and history books and school training manuals were changed to show awful that Boer war was and how the English were only able to win it by burning farms and placing thousands and thousands of women and kids in concentration camps, causing many fatalities. Now South Africa’s “ownership” belongs to the people who were here originally before the Europeans arrived. So history books are being changed again to reflect the evils of the previous Apartheid system and how the current regime has defeated the previous.
This is a short example of how in a short space of time, with three regime changes, writing different history books, highlighting their causes and victory over the other. A person being born today in South Africa will be told the evils of Apartheid and the fall of the Afrikaner regime, if you were born 50 years ago, you would be taught about the Afrikaner regime overcoming the British despite suffering huge losses and destruction and if you were born another 100 years before that, you would be told how your fellow Europeans overcome and killed the local “savages” of the time residing in this land. So it all depends in what period you were born and what the current “story” is that will form inside you an idea of what the world is about.
So who wrote religious books like the Bible? What were their agenda when it was decided in this format the book should be written. What pieces of history were left out or added to suit their view of the world? People are very quick to question a new piece of scientific discovery when it is slightly controversial, but the same somehow doesn’t apply with religion. It is as if we belief that the people that lived 2000 years ago were not deceitful, that somehow everything that was written by various people and changed and translated over and over again, that the truth remained. It is quite interesting that books like the Da Vinci Code (Dan Brown) had been so popular because that book questions so many things about our history of Christianity. I’ve also read an interesting article on the Internet by Laura Knight-Jadczyk titled: The Ark of the Covenant and the Temple of Solomon about ideas around who actually wrote the Bible. The link to the first page is here: http://cassiopaea.org/cass/biblewho1.htm
Who is busy writing the history books on 911? There are so many conflicting reports on what really happened that day, but I can bet you the US government will write the history books, ignoring all the questions asked and blaming the Arab, extremist terrorists for that fateful day. Will they also confuse the issues by saying on one page it was Bin Laden and on the next, link him to Sadam Hussein to justify “their” war on Iraq? The United States of America wrote history books for a long time and it goes back to Christopher Columbus. It is sad that the local Indian population never had a chance to write their own history books after almost being wiped out by the settlers. There are now reports of a Chinese map dating back to 1418 showing the world not yet discovered then:
(http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/01/0118_060118_chinese_map.html)
I am sure this map will be explained as some kind of fake. Surely our history books tells us that we crawled out of the ocean as a fish after developing lungs, to eventually become a “modern” human after developing through millions of years. We must now be at the peak of human development. Surely those stories of previous advanced civilizations like Atlantis are all myths…surely we develop in a straight line, always improving? I wonder what historical “facts” will be written in our new history books by our future governments.

Did a Boeing REALLY crash into the Pentagon?
I have written about the question around the truth of what happened on 911 before. There seems to be now lots of counter websites to mislead and re-direct any person searching for the truth. I have come across two sites that explain firstly the details of the Boeing 757 and how it was not possible for a plane that size to leave such a small hole in the wall, not to mention being able to maneuver a few inches from the ground not touching the lawn before impact!
The excellent self explanatory article can be found under the title: Evidence That a Frozen Fish Didn't Impact the Pentagon on 9/11 and Neither Did a Boeing 757 and the link is: http://signs-of-the-times.org/signs/Above_Top_Secret_article.htm
The next article I found was posted on a blog and was a very nice article about how and to what measures are being taken to counter the exposing of truth. The article titled: COINTELPRO Updates: Above Top Secret Forum and the link is: http://laura-knight-jadczyk.blogspot.com/
I wish more and more people can start to ask questions and look more objectively into matters. Maybe if we continue to write articles and question things as the average world citizen, then mainstream media might become compelled to actually start doing real investigative reporting. If a crime like 911 was committed by a government or individuals within the government using its own citizen’s lives to justify a war against Afghanistan and Iraq, then these crimes needs to be exposed. If we don’t and allow for more lies to be covered up, then we are destined to experience more of them!
