Dear Friends, Patriots and Warriors of Truth:

Here comes some cold, black radioactive rain on the one-man parade named "tau."

Ladies and Gentlemen, I just don't get it! Whatever does the Biblical story of Joseph have to do with the present day and times? Furthermore, whatever does all this mumbling about Babylon have to do with a modern world where scalar technologies apparently make it possible to use earthquakes instead of long-range artillery -- when it comes to making war? Frankly, I have wasted enough time trying to decipher whatever it is that "tau" is saying, and most of what I have read by "tau" is mush. Forgive me for being blunt but it is either beyond my background -- which includes the study of the history of religions and Chinese philosophy at Yale, and a similar degree in American Studies, and twenty year's experience as a worker in the vineyards of mass media, or "tau" is just spinning gibberish. Perhaps someone more connected to the present day and times can "connect the dots" for me.

The history of the western world since Phoenician times has been the history of great captains of the sea, their pilots and navigators, the men and women willing to sail with them, and the eventual development by them of land-based business fronts. The true history of the United States is intimately connected to the various and sundry developments of the British and Dutch East India Companies, of limited companies approved by royal charters, such as The London Company for Virginia and the Plymouth Company for Massachusetts; and of a continuous hunger for workable lands, navigable rivers, and useful ports for shipping. All of the kings and prince ever known owed their riches and their royal powers to men and women of the sea, the ones who braved the storms and sailed their vessels to and from China, Japan and the Indies. Trade and commerce are what built the royal families, and not the other way around! These are scientific facts.

The Knights Templar seem to have evolved on two tracks: one track contains their true history (which is apparently known only to a very few people, although that number is growing), while a second, inaccurate or dissembling history has been more widely propagated -- either by their enemies, or by them to hide and cover from their enemies. It seems evident that the Knights Templar, as they are now, are fundamentally different in purpose from the Knights of Malta, although they seem to have common points of intersection in history. Those who say that the Catholic Church after John Paul II is going to disintegrate into a chaotic mess, a campground embroiled in civil war which can only lead to the production of the Anti-Christ (either as a secular leader or as an actual Anti-Pope), are plowing ground which was well-broken in the 1830's and 1840's. Yet, I remain unconvinced and skeptical of that development. I want to learn more and to make what I learn useful to me now.

For my money, the Anti-Christ has come and gone, and his name was William Jefferson Clinton, nee' Rockefeller. His reign was like that of a dark prince, he behaved more like royalty than any person ever to hold the office of President, and he apparently never hesitated to tell a lie, even when the truth would do nicely. So many who helped him rise have died that he resembles, more and more, the classical image of a devil -- while it is bad enough to be his enemy, being his friend often proves fatal.

No one knows yet what the policies he embraced, endorsed and enforced are going to cost in human lives: the tally is still rising -- however, to quote the leader of the Militia of Montana (from a speech given in 1995), "Africa is done." There is every reason to believe that the present groupings of plagues in that area of the world are going to work to depopulate it rapidly.

The ancient times are over. We will, perhaps, know the truth about Atlantis and its technology, the fall of that civilization and the rise of the survivors in Egypt, Mexico and Peru; we will surely know the truth about real or supposed contacts with alien species and races, about travel by 'wormhole" or dimensional shifting, and so on -- sooner rather than later, I think. But what any of these important things have to do with "tau" and the real or imagined history of Babylon and Egypt is irrelevant to me and immaterial to my quest.

Thus, Patriotlad is a patriot: friends, I care about our democratic republic and the prosperity and freedoms we have developed here, which means real things to real people. It is here that we have created great farms, great dairies, great hospitals, colleges and great factories; it is here that people can write and think freely, and can pursue their own dreams and visions (at least for a little while longer). It is here that the ship captains and the pilots of the world migrated, here that they chose free speech, liberty, and a free market economy!

What we have is worth fighting for, today, now -- and next week.

Unless you can show me what and how explanations of, and speculation on, "Joseph" and the ancient history of the Jews has anything material to do with the great struggle for liberty we now face -- and what "tau" has to contribute to the immediate problems we now face -- I cannot personally justify expending even one more minute reading his postings. There is too much other good stuff, from Hobie and Newshound and some many others, to consider: I come to the Rumor Mill News to get the connections which make the whirlwind of current events make sense to me, and which make that information useful to me. I have a family to care for and a home to protect, and I am willing to drive a stake in the good turf of my land, to declare that I will defend this republic with all that I have -- including the last full measure of my devotion. Whatever distracts me from those purposes is a fraud on my time and a waste of my life's energies.
I am not interested in being charitable towards monsters or in creating forgiveness for mass murderers. I am fed up with slick liars and confidence men. I will not turn the other cheek ever again. That is my creed, as a patriot and an American. Stand and Deliver, Agents of Rumor Mill News, Stand and Deliver!
