AstroTheology: The Christmas You Were Never Told About

________________________________

Each holiday around the year, we are made to believe the unquestionable truth of that particular holy day. The church says. The bible says. 

The fact of the matter is that much of the meanings of our world have been cloaked in secrecy by others wishing to hoard power and control, for money and selfishness. 

It is time to unlearn the destructive brainwashing of organized religions and begin learning the personal power we all wield in this universe. The ancients knew that astrology, astrotheology taught lessons and showed us the power of our solar system. 
“Official history has been changed to hide the fact that the world has been controlled by the same interbreeding tribe for thousands of years. This is never more so than with the major religions. They all have inner and outer levels of knowledge. The inner level carries the secrets going back to the ancient Mystery schools of places like Sumer, Babylon and Egypt. These include the secrets of the bloodline and only the chosen few are initiated into this awareness. The outer level is where the secrets are hidden in code and allegory and sold, with a deity, to the masses as the 'truth'. Rosciusianism
If you want to learn about the real facts around holy days and the inner workings of religions, hold on to your hats: there is a lot to learn.


It is time humanity breaks out of its chains of man made religions and into higher spiritual purposes. 
There are actually in total 15 preChristian Gods had traits and stories exactly like Jesus Christ. For example, In 900 BC Krishna was born of a virgin with a star in the East signaling his coming. A tyrant slaughtered thousands of infants trying to kill the new born king. He was a teacher in the temple and a healer who performed miracles, was crucified between two thieves and resurrected from death. Around the same time period in Greece lived the God Attis, born of a virgin on December 25th .

He was martyred on a crucifix, died for 3 days and was resurrected.

Mithra was a Persian God circa 1200 BC who was born of a virgin on December 25th, traveled around with 12 disciples, performed miracles, died for 3 days and was resurrected. He was called the truth, the light, and was worshipped on Sunday.

The very same basic storyline that came out of Constantine’s Council of Nicea in 325 AD already existed for thousands of years.

“Christianity resembled certain elements of Roman belief, particularly the worship of Mithra, or Mithraism. As ‘Protector of the Empire,’ Mithra was closely tied to the sun gods, Helios and Apollo. Mithra's birthday on December 25, close to the winter solstice, became Jesus's birthday. Shepherds were to have witnessed Mithra's birth and were to have partaken in a last supper with Mithra before he returned to heaven. Mithra's ascension, correlating to the sun's return to prominence around the spring equinox, became the Christian holiday of Easter. 
Christians took over a cave-temple dedicated to Mithra in Rome on the Vatican Hill, making it the seat of the Catholic Church. The Mithraic high priest's title, Pater Patrum, soon became the title for the bishop of Rome, Papa or Pope. The fathers of Christianity explained the remarkable similarities of Mithraism as the work of the devil, declaring the much older legends of Mithraism to be an insidious imitation of the one true faith.”
Helen Ellerbe, “The Dark Side of Christian History” (223)
The end to worshiping ancient gods renamed into current incarnations must be halted for humanity's sake. It only benefits the few. The rest of us experience war, famine, and ignorance. That price is too heavy to be paid.

Woe to an Empire of Blood, Nuclear Activists Receive Their Sentences

Staff Writer, DL Mullan
Government / Activism
______________________________

In the VDP Gazette's article, National Security is a Joke Because There Is Nun, we discussed how Sister Megan Rice, an 83-year-old Catholic nun, with a hammer and some bolt cutters as well as two other aged accomplices broke into a secure nuclear facility called: Y-12 National Security Complex, as known as America's "Fort Knox" of weapons-grade uranium to make a point.

This week their sentences were handed down:  
Federal District Judge Amul R. Thapar sentenced both Greg Boertje-Obed, 58, of Duluth, and Michael Walli, 65, of Washington, DC, to five years and two months in prison (“62 months,” in the parlance of the federal court) plus three years of heavily supervised probation. Sr. Megan Rice, 84, of New York, NY, was sentenced to 35 months in prison plus three years of probation.
The three cohorts will also have to pay a combined total of $52,900 for the cost of repairing the damage they did to the fences and to paint over their slogans.

"Woe to an Empire of Blood."
Sister Megan Rice stated that: "They know that they are the human fallout and the victims of the profiteering by the elite and top leaders of the corporations that are contracted to make the nuclear weapons. It's (the money) denied to human services that should be the priority of any government."
Paul Magno, Rice's friend and an anti-nuclear activist said: "Very frustrating was the fact that the prosecution and the judge worked very hard to avoid paying attention to the (nuclear) weapons factor, the cause of their activism," he said. "And unless our legal institutions will face that, peace activists will continue to take issue with it and invite the government to investigate the war industry."
"Any goverment that would lock up Megan, Michael and Greg is desperate to hide the truth. By their actions, they have broken the silence; their sacrifice challenges each of us to speak up for a safer world," a network of supporters led by Magno and Hutchison, [a supporter of Rice], wrote in a statement.
"The Fruit of Justice is Peace."
"They're supposed to be leaders on something like this. There hasn't been any kind of statement from Catholic bishops on what Megan has done," retired Bishop Thomas Gumbleton, a noted peace activist, told Al Jazeera in an interview in December.
Anyone would expect that the Catholic Church would have sent out a press release either supporting or admonishing the nun's actions. Silence is what Sister Megan Rice received. Perhaps part of the problem of the world is that of an indifferent church to the needs of the people. 

How can there be peace if there is no justice? Did District Court Judge Amul Thapar do his job in creating a fair trial for the defendants or did he make another monkey court of suits on parade?
Ignoring each of the defendant’s direct appeals to the government’s binding legal obligations under the NPT and the Constitution (which holds that treaties are the “Supreme law of the land”) Judge Thapar repeatedly accused the three of showing “complete disrespect for law.”

Judge Thapar’s accusation of “lawlessness” was plainly dishonest and likely designed for the press, especially in view of his pre-trial orders forbidding the defendants from presenting legitimate law-based defenses. The defense of necessity —that unlawful government actions may be interfered with by citizens acting in the spirit of crime prevention —was also disallowed by Judge Thapar, who ruled before trial that the question of whether nuclear weapons production is unlawful was not relevant to the case and would confuse the jury. What the judge did not say was that when juries are allowed to consider evidence of the outlaw status of nuclear weapons, they regularly find protesters not guilty by reason of
justification.
This type of outlandish judicial behavior also shows that National Security isn't about securing anything. It's about the illusion that the United States government has the national security interests of Americans in mind. 

So what is the point? Have you ever wondered why America is the way it is these days? Why judges and lawyers protect this State instead of the People?

There are answers to these questions and no American is going to like what they hear, but it's about time we set aside our differences and embrace the fact that the United States, Inc. is not our country. It's our prison.

We all might as we have committed lawlessness because we are paying a price for it anyway.
