Il y a soixante ans, le 25 novembre 1959, disparaissait Gérard Philipe. Il avait trente-six ans. Juste avant sa mort, ignorant la gravité de son mal, il annotait encore des tragédies grecques, rêvait d'incarner Hamlet et se préparait à devenir, au cinéma, l'Edmond Dantès du Comte de Monte-Cristo. C'est qu'il croyait avoir la vie devant lui. Du dernier été à Ramatuelle au dernier hiver parisien, semaine après semaine, jour après jour, l'acteur le plus accompli de sa génération se préparait, en vérité, à son plus grand rôle, celui d'un éternel jeune homme.

"Civil Disobedience" is an essay by Henry David Thoreau. Published in 1849 under the title "Resistance to Civil Government", it expressed Thoreau’s belief that people should not allow governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that people have a duty both to avoid doing injustice directly and to avoid allowing their acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War.

In the 1930s an entire nation was brainwashed. It was manipulated by masters of propaganda and the arcane arts. The result was the deaths of millions of people. The men behind this massive scheme were members of the most evil and vile political party ever to have existed. We know them as the Nazis. Their purpose was to bring about the rise of a so-called Aryan race, a race that would rule the world for 1,000 years. This would be their Third Reich.

Yet, being sensible has gained Alice a seat among the wallflowers, and her only likely chance of marriage to a man she finds nigh on repulsive. Something must be done.

On the daily news we see war, disease, poverty, and man pitted against man. We see billions of impoverished people displaced by power brokers. We see the super-rich getting richer. Many simply watch this news without understanding it or even trying to. They don't know the bigger picture, the truth about what is really happening out there. The truth is, what happens out there affects us all - and all of these world events are happening not by chance but by design.

There are many mysteries in our world, from crop circles to Sasquatch, but some run deeper into our collective past than we can imagine.

New discoveries abound and it appears we have barely scratched the surface of what lies ahead in reclaiming our ancient history.

Rasputin claimed to see the future and possess the power to heal. He was a god of hypnosis and mesmerism and a master of trickery and deception that caused fits of spiritual excitement among his followers, but was he a mystic or a con man?

These claims also state that the alien creatures' appearance is bizarre compared to any type of traditional Western point of view, that these visitors use the technologies of consciousness, and that they use "toroids", corotating magnetic disks, for their propulsion systems.

Mankind has witnessed these crashes, communicated with the visitors, and even left our planet with them once they are able to return to their world. But the most shocking revelation of all is the reason why they come.

Explore how the Nazis developed technology decades in advance of the US and Russia and were close to launching new weapons unlike any the world had ever seen.

"The Theogony" (“Birth of the Gods”) is a poem by Hesiod which describes the origin, position and relationships of the gods of the Greek pantheon. Hesiod created a synthesis of the diverse Greek traditions concerning the gods, in the form of a hymn invoking Zeus and the Muses. The Theogony is the first known Greek mythical cosmogony. However, it should not be considered as the authoritative source of Greek mythology, but rather as a portrait of a dynamic tradition that was recorded around 700 BCE.
