Subject: More Articles on the Cancellation of the Golden Capstone

Dear Rumor Mill News Readers,

I don't know who put together the following articles... but here is some more
information on the cancellation of the New World Order's Golden Capstone
Celebration.
Ru Mills

Typically, the L.A. organ of obfuscation leaves out the news "not fit to

record for the unwashed masses," from their alleged reportage. BBC
reported about three nights ago, on the 9:00 PM CT shortwave (5975)
news hour, that "serious controversy is ongoing and the cap crowning plan
might be scrapped, because members of Egypt's government are very
concerned/angry that the cap represents Zionist and Masonic philosophy,"
as the article below the LA Times also cites.

Cap crowning the pyramid aside, the great protests are actually quite
interesting, even odd, given the fact that the ancient mystery religions
of Egypt, the Horus/Isis cults, the huge cavorting cabal of ancient gods
and the mysticism that they represented, form the very basis of Scottish
Rite Masonic cultism and Jewish cabalism.

The ancient Egyptian occult dogmas through the ages were adopted by many
secret societies in Western nations, including numerous non-Western
nations. Perhaps the Egyptians believe that present day Masonry has
become overly infected with a particular brand of Zionist and Western
philosophy exclusively--they are right. None of this is at all
important, unless we understand the importance of "inner circle" Masonic
philosophy and its very sinister and wholly subversive intrusion, in all
decision making in every facet of Western governments--Israel not least.

"....that the planned celebration supports Jewish and Masonic ideas.
"The suggestion is groundless," said Hawass. "The celebration has
nothing to do with Masonic beliefs. The design on the US dollar is a
faulty imitation of the pyramids of the Middle Kingdom."

Crowning the pyramid

By Nevine El-Aref

Against a backdrop of allegations of a Zionist link, the Giza
plateau is a hive of activity, with the Ministry of Culture and the
Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) busy preparing for the millennium
celebrations - the highlight of which will be the capping of the pyramid
of Khufu. But, with the event lying just around the corner, some
fundamental matters need addressing, not least of which is how to get
the multitude of expected visitors onto the plateau and how to place the
nine-metre-high, gold-plated capstone atop the lofty monument.

"Preparations are in full swing to meet the deadline; only 51 days
left," said Zahi Hawass, director-general of the Giza plateau.

"Areas on the plateau are being prepared to accommodate the vast
numbers expected to attend and new entrance gates are being opened, as
well as a parking area and other facilities, including a small
bookshop," said Hawass.

Meanwhile, research is being carried out by the SCA in collaboration
with the Remote Sensing and Space Science Authority and the Egyptian
military forces to assess the condition of the great stones on the face
of the pyramid and determine the best method to place the cap.

"Archaeologists are registering the number of blocks on the surface
at the top of the pyramid and documenting graffiti found on the top.
Some were written by visitors during the last century and some are very
amusing," said Hawass. He added that they include love verses, the will
of someone who climbed to the top and committed suicide and the names of
two lovers who kissed and recorded their feelings for all eternity.

Countless suggestions have been made on how best to lift the golden
pyramidion and place it in position.

"The most feasible idea up till now is that the piece be divided
into two parts. First, a five-metre-high square mastaba (layer) will be
placed over a protective base at the top of the pyramid to protect its
surface. Then, the top four metres could be fabricated of any
lightweight material over an iron frame. This upper portion only will be
gold-plated," Hawass added.

"The millennium performance is inspired by celebrations held by the
Pharaohs after the completion of their great funerary complexes," said
Hawass. "The building of a pyramid was a national project in which all
strata of society were brought into requisition and the completion of a
great monument towering on top of the plateau was a symbol of power,
strength and national unity," he said.

This is in sharp contrast to some allusions on the Internet and in
opposition newspapers that the planned celebration supports Jewish and
Masonic ideas. "The suggestion is groundless," said Hawass. "The
celebration has nothing to do with Masonic beliefs. The design on the US
dollar is a faulty imitation of the pyramids of the Middle Kingdom."

Hawass went on to explain that an important relief was found four
years ago in a tomb in Abusir, beside the pyramid of the Middle Kingdom
Pharaoh Amenemhat. "It showed a number of workers pulling a pyramidion
bearing hieroglyphic text which revealed the name as Ben-Bit and showed
that it was covered with gold. Our millennium celebration will show the
world that the idea of the pyramidion is a genuine Pharaonic tradition
and it is as old as the pyramids of Giza themselves."

Conspiracy theories aside though, another point of considerable
concern is how the plateau can be accessed by such a large number of
people. This will be from a new entrance located on the Cairo-Fayoum
road, not the Mena House entrance which will, apparently, be closed for
good. Stables for horses and camels will be relocated near the new
entrance, outside the archaeological area.

New tombs of high-ranking officials and the Valley Temple of the
Sphinx have been officially opened after restoration and are sure to
attract countless visitors in the next millennium.

Egypt Cancels Plans to Cap
Pyramid

CAIRO, Egypt--In an apparent
nod to public opinion, the government on Thursday canceled its plan to
cap the Great Pyramid in gold for the millennium celebrations.

Egypt had planned to usher in the New Year by affixing a gold-encased
capstone on the Great Pyramid, built as a tomb for King Cheops about 4,500
years ago.

The 30 -foot high cap was to be lowered by helicopter at the stroke of
midnight Dec. 31, making the broken pyramid whole again, if only for a night.

Culture Minister Farouk Hosni gave no reason for backing off the plan,
but said the decision was made despite technical advice that it would not have
damaged the monument, Egypt's Middle East News Agency reported. Egypt's
millennium celebrations feature a 12 -hour concert at the foot of the Giza
pyramids with 1,000 performers. Egypt, whose recorded history goes back
6,000 years, is promoting the celebration as the start of its seventh
millennium.
