Sometimes, the Monkey can be a little too curious for his or her own good, as well as careless, restless, immature and arrogant."

“All 7 and we'll watch them fall. They stand in the way of love, and we will smoke them all with an intellect and a savoir-faire…”
7: Prince, Symbol
I don’t know how to describe what it is that I like so much about this song… perhaps simply it is that it is so very unlike his other works. I have great memories of listening to this with my roommate in college. I wouldn’t take a stab at the true story behind the lyrics or the meanings intended. This song just always spoke to me on a subconscious level.
*** Artist Notes ***
The fallen seven…
Lyrics:
All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare
I am yours now and u are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die
All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare
I am yours now and u are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die
And I saw an angel come down unto me
In her hand she holds the very key
Words of compassion, words of peace
And in the distance an army's marching feet (1,2,3,4 - 1,2,3,4)
But behold, we will watch them fall
And we lay down on the sand of the sea
And before us animosity will stand and decree
That we speak not of love only blasphemy
And in the distance, 6 others will curse me
But that's alright, (that's alright)
4 I will watch them fall(1,2,3,4,5,6,7)
All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare
I am yours now and u are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die
[(Just how old)]
And we will see a plague and a river of blood
And every evil soul will surely die in spite of
Their 7 tears, but do not fear
4 in the distance, 12 souls from now
U and me will still be here - we will still be here
There will be a new city with streets of gold
The young so educated they never grow old
And a, there will be no death 4 with every breath
The voice of many colors sings a song
That's so bold
Sing it while we watch them fall
All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare
I am yours now and u are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die
Steve and Dan Case embrace after Dan, investment banker and chairman of JP Morgan H&Q, introduced his brother Steve,CEO of AOL Time Warner, as final keynote speaker at a technology conference. BY ERIC LUSE/THE CHRONICLE
Daniel H. Case III, who presided over technology banking boutique Hambrecht & Quist during the explosion of new-economy financing, died early Wednesday morning (June 27, 2002) after a 15-month battle with brain cancer. He was 44.
A Princeton University graduate and Rhodes scholar at Oxford University, Case was reputed to be a towering intellect who loved financial complexity and new ideas. Friends said he embraced the entrepreneurial spirit of Silicon Valley and enjoyed combining the business strategies of young startups with financing concepts that would help them grow and succeed.
Under Case's guidance, H&Q was either an investor in, or underwriter of, Genentech, Adobe, Netscape and about 600 other companies. H&Q was one of the original San Francisco investment banks that financed that explosion of new West Coast growth companies.
His achievements drew accolades from the financial press. Business Week named Case one of Silicon Valley's 25 Power Brokers, and Time listed him as one of the Top 50 Innovators in Technology.
Case started with H&Q as an intern in 1979 and returned after his Rhodes scholarship. "From the day he arrived, he was in a class by himself," said William R. Hambrecht, the founder of H&Q . "He was so bright and so fascinated by the subject. I never saw anybody learn quicker. He was a natural."
"Dan was a hero and inspiration to us all," Stephen Case, his brother and the chairman of AOL Time Warner, said in a statement.
H&Q was sold to Chase Manhattan in 1999 for $1.35 billion in cash, the last and largest in a wave of local firms sold to outside commercial banks. What remains of the firm is now part of JPMorgan Chase, the result of the 2000 merger between those two financial companies, both based in New York.
Case was diagnosed with brain cancer in March 2001 and underwent surgery within a week. Though he retained the title of chairman and was still available to H&Q staff, he turned over the reins of the operation to his successors while he focused his efforts to finding a cure for brain cancer. Case founded a nonprofit organization, ABC2 (Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure), that is dedicated to speeding up discoveries in brain cancer therapy.
He died at home at about 12:25 a.m. Wednesday June 27th, 2002 according to a spokeswoman for JPMorgan.
Among the companies Case embraced early was Quantum Computer Services, a predecessor to America Online, and he brought in his brother Steve Case to run it. Under Dan Case's leadership, H&Q was an early-stage investor in Quantum, but H&Q did not handle any of AOL's public offerings out of a concern for an appearance of a conflict of interest.
Hambrecht brought Case into H&Q as an intern at the recommendation of a friend at Princeton. During dinner at the former Jack's restaurant in San Francisco's Financial District one night, Case offered a detailed, often critical critique of the firm. Afterward, Hambrecht said, he called his wife told her, "I think I just had dinner with a kid who should run H&Q."
The firm hired Case after his return from Oxford, where he had studied management, and he never left. He rose through the ranks, becoming a partner in charge of venture capital investments, the co-head of mergers and acquisitions, and the head of investment banking.
He was named co-chief executive in 1992 and CEO in 1994. At the time of his death, he was the chairman and chief executive of JPMorgan H&Q.
Despite his accomplishments, he remained humble, friends say. "It must've been difficult for him, because he was always the smartest guy in the room, to have such intellect and marry it with such humility," said David Golden, JPMorgan's head of West Coast investment banking. "He was best at seeing around corners, seeing the implications of a particular move. It was like a chess player who could see five or six moves ahead."
Case was born in Hawaii. In addition to his professional and cancer activities, he served on the boards of directors of AMB Property Corp., the Bay Area Council, Electronic Arts, and the National Science and Technology Medal Foundation.
He was on the executive committee of the Technology Network board and the nominating committee for the New York Stock Exchange. He was also a benefactor to the San Francisco Exploratorium, San Francisco Ballet and United Way.
He is survived by his wife, Stacey Black Case, and their two children,
John Daniel and Charlotte; sons Alexander and Winston, from his previous marriage to Marian Hudson; his parents, Dan and Carol Case;
his brothers, Steve and Jeff; and his sister, Carin.
The funeral will be held at Grace Cathedral on Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. The family has asked that memorials be made to his foundation, ABC2, at www.abc2.org.

History
The John Rogers who bought Riverhill in 1840 was an only child, with a modest fortune, and a fine intellect. He became a classics scholar, a scientist and a friend of Charles Darwin. He was one of the first members of the Royal Horticultural Society and a patron of the plant collectors of the day.
He chose Riverhill because its sheltered situation offered an ideal lime free hillside where he could hope to establish newly introduced trees and shrubs. From his garden notebook, it can be seen that planting started in 1842. Subsequent generations, continued the planting and in 1910 Colonel John Middleton Rogers created what is now known as ‘The Wood Garden’ a fine collection of Japanese Maples, Rhododendrons and Azaleas. His wife, the infamous Muriel, created many additions including the now hidden Rock Gardens.
Until the beginning of the 2nd World War, eight full time gardeners kept Riverhill looking immaculate. Since the war years, however, a shortage of manpower and a lack of money has meant that the garden was allowed to deteriorate, with many parts of the original planting lost to everyday use and visitors.
Today, four generations of the Rogers family live at Riverhill,
The estate is managed by Edward Rogers (Great-great-great-grandson of the John Rogers who bought Riverhill in 1840) and his wife, Sarah.

This was taken at Kripalu Yoga Center in Lenox, MA in the Western Mass Berkshires.
Although he is known by many other attributes, Ganesha's elephant head makes him easy to identify. Ganesha is widely revered as the Remover of Obstacles and more generally as Lord of Beginnings and Lord of Obstacles (Vighnesha, Vighneshvara), patron of arts and sciences, and the deva of intellect and wisdom. He is honored at the start of rituals and ceremonies and invoked as Patron of Letters during writing sessions.
I am invoking Ganesh as I get back into my (abandoned) yoga practice.

Yesterday I saw a very faint shadow of the lampshade on the wall in the study. It was cast by diffuse sunlight coming through the north facing window. Paradoxical thoughts about perception and representation haunted my mind for the rest of the day.
What was I looking at? A lampshade ... a shadow ... the wall with all its scratches and smudge marks ... the join in the paper ... or a representation of a lampshade?
Representation
In order to 're-present' something there has to be an intention, in a human mind, to make a representation. For example, a painter would decide to take a brush, oils and a canvas to make the physical, palpable representation that would be referred to as 'the painting'. However, what I saw on the wall was not created through any human intention ... it just occurred by chance. There was no palpable, tangible object on the wall that I could detect with the sense of touch. So no intention had made it and I couldn't touch it ... so what I saw on the wall can't then be a representation.
Palpability test
But there was something there ... I could see it ... I photographed it. I had an intention to make a representation of what I saw so that I could share with you my dilemma of paradoxes. I used a device called a digital camera ... it reduced what I had seen to an invisible string of codes stored electronically inside the device. I used another device called a computer to tweak those codes so that what I had originally seen would be somewhat exaggerated and more likely to appeal to the aesthetic sensibilities of other humans living in this generation. As I looked at my digital representation on the computer screen I was underwhelmed ... it had none of the presence of the thing I saw. It was a representation of the thing I saw and displayed remotely on a computer it lacked palpability ... it was 'in my face' but it wasn't really 'there'. So I made a print on exhibition paper and it started to come to life and had some presence. I even put on it pencil marks to represent the label, ‘Graham’, that my late parents had given me all those years ago.
Print becomes code
Having made the print and stroked my hands on it and held it I considered its impact under different intensities and qualities of daylight. But now I have diminished its impact again by using a scanner to re-present that palpable thing as a digital image to be shared on Flickr and Facebook.
Why do I do this?
I'm still none the wiser about whether to define it as "a lampshade ... a shadow ... the wall with all its scratches and smudge marks ... the join in the paper ... or a representation of a lampshade" but I do now think I know why I went through that rigmarole. One of the intrinsic rewards I get from my photography is the satisfaction of curiosity and the enjoyment of playing of an intellectualised aesthetic game. I also realise now that I'm quite a show-off and so one of the extrinsic rewards for me would be the approbation of others.
An alternative hypothesis emerges
Which leaves me thinking what would others be seeing, my representations or "the thing itself"?
Is "the thing itself" a lampshade / shadow, a digital image of a lampshade / shadow or a print of a digital image of a lampshade / shadow?
Or is "the thing itself" not the thing photographed nor its representation but actually the spectator sport of someone playing an intellectualised aesthetic game?

“In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagavad gita, since whose composition years of the gods have elapsed, and in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seem puny and trivial; and I doubt if that philosophy is not to be referred to a previous state of existence, so remote is its sublimity from our conceptions.
I lay down the book and go to my well for water, and lo! there I meet the servant of the Bramin, priest of Brahma and Vishnu and Indra, who still sits in his temple on the Ganges reading the Vedas, or dwells at the root of a tree with his crust and water jug. I meet his servant come to draw water for his master, and our buckets as it were grate together in the same well. The pure Walden water is mingled with the sacred water of the Ganges.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden: Or, Life in the Woods
"Ipes/ Ayperos is a prince and count of hell, who commands 36 legions. He appears as an angel or lion with the head and feet of a goose and a short hair’s tail. Ipes knows of the past and future, gives men intellect and courage, and can tell of hidden treasures" -Collin de Plancy (translated, paraphrased)
THE DUCK OF DOOM
Sorry, had to.
ANYWAY... Ipos is kind of run-of-the-mill as far as Goetic demons go, at least in terms of what he does. I think there are like five who specifically tell the future and find treasure - but he ALSO makes people witty and valiant! And there's the problem - too much wit and too much blind courage will get you killed.
Though I still have a hard time being intimidated by Loosey Goosey's evil cousin. Really. I mean, look at him! Imagine him quacking at you! Eh, Geese are kind of vicious, anyway. Aren't they?

Anything is Possible..author Unknown
If there was ever a time to dare,
to make a difference,
to embark on something worth doing,
IT IS NOW.
Not for any grand cause, necessarily…
but for something that tugs at your heart,
something that’s your inspiration,
something that’s your dream.
You owe it to yourself to make your days here count.
HAVE FUN.
DIG DEEP.
STRETCH.
DREAM BIG.
Know, though, that things worth doing seldom come easy.
There will be good days.
And there will be bad days.
There will be times when you want to turn around,
pack it up, and call it quits.
Those times tell you
that you are pushing yourself, that you are not afraid
to learn by trying.
PERSIST.
Because with an idea,
determination, and the right tools,
you can do great things.
Let your instincts, your intellect,
and your heart, guide you.
TRUST.
Believe in the incredible power of the human mind.
Of doing something that makes a difference.
Of working hard.
Of laughing and hoping.
Of lazy afternoons.
Of lasting friends.
Of all the things that will cross your path this year.
The start of something new brings the hope of something great, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
First published in the U.K in 1935, "Odd John" by philosopher and author Olaf Stapledon has been reprinted many times and is a highly regarded science fiction novel. It introduced the concept of “Homo superior,” a term that has since become a staple in science fiction. The story explores themes of evolution, intelligence, and morality, presenting John Wainwright as a superhuman whose advanced intellect and abilities set him apart from ordinary humans.
At the time of its publication in 1935, the idea of a superior human species was not new. However, Stapledon’s approach was unique in its philosophical depth and its exploration of the ethical implications of such a being’s existence.
John Wainwright is a fascinating and complex character. While his intelligence is extraordinary, his personality is far from conventional. He is often described as vain, amoral, and highly manipulative. His advanced intellect makes him feel detached from ordinary humans, and he does not adhere to conventional morality. Instead, he follows a personal code that is beyond human understanding.
John is also skilled in the art of seduction and manipulation, effortlessly influencing those around him. He views Homo sapiens as inferior, which leads him to act in ways that might seem cold or even ruthless. His relationships with others are often transactional—he uses people for his own purposes rather than forming deep emotional bonds.
Despite these traits, John is not entirely unlikable. His charisma and brilliance make him compelling, and his philosophical musings add depth to his character. However, his detachment and superiority complex prevent him from being truly relatable or sympathetic in a traditional sense. He is neither a traditional hero nor a villain. His character challenges readers to reconsider what it means to be "superior" and whether such beings can truly coexist with humanity.
[Sources: Wikipedia, ScienceFictionClassics.com, and WriteUps.org]
[Note: Modern depictions of superhuman intelligence have evolved significantly since “Odd John.” Today, the concept is often explored through artificial intelligence rather than biological evolution. AI surpassing human intelligence raises ethical and existential questions like those in Stapledon’s novel.]
what keeps you up at night, your insecurities and fears. I like people with depth, who speak with emotion from a twisted mind.

For nearly 50 years, biophysicist and inventor Mária Telkes applied her prodigious intellect to
harnessing the sun’s power. She designed and built the first successfully solar-powered house
in 1949 but was perplexed by the knotty scientific challenge of developing a reliable and
economical way to store captured solar energy. She was also beset by rampant sexism and
fought pitched battles with her boss and colleagues — all men — at MIT’s Solar Energy Fund.
Despite these obstacles, Telkes persevered, helping to build another experimental solar-
powered house in 1971. Upon her death in 1995, she held more than 20 patents.

John Hawks is in the middle of explaining his research on human evolution when he drops a bombshell. Running down a list of changes that have occurred in our skeleton and skull since the Stone Age, the University of Wisconsin anthropologist nonchalantly adds, “And it’s also clear the brain has been shrinking.”
“Shrinking?” I ask. “I thought it was getting larger.” The whole ascent-of-man thing.
“That was true for 2 million years of our evolution,” Hawks says. “But there has been a reversal.”
He rattles off some dismaying numbers: Over the past 20,000 years, the average volume of the human male brain has decreased from 1,500 cubic centimeters to 1,350 cc, losing a chunk the size of a tennis ball. The female brain has shrunk by about the same proportion. “I’d call that major downsizing in an evolutionary eyeblink,” he says. “This happened in China, Europe, Africa—everywhere we look.” If our brain keeps dwindling at that rate over the next 20,000 years, it will start to approach the size of that found in Homo erectus, a relative that lived half a million years ago and had a brain volume of only 1,100 cc. Possibly owing to said shrinkage, it takes me a while to catch on. “Are you saying we’re getting dumber?” I ask.
Hawks, a bearish man with rounded features and a jovial disposition, looks at me with an amused expression. “It certainly gives you a different perspective on the advantage of a big brain,” he says.
After meeting with Hawks, I call around to other experts to see if they know about our shrinking brain. Geneticists who study the evolution of the human genome seem as surprised as I am (typical response: “No kidding!”), which makes me wonder if I’m the world’s most gullible person. But no, Hawks is not pulling my leg. As I soon discover, only a tight-knit circle of paleontologists seem to be in on the secret, and even they seem a bit muddled about the matter. Their theories as to why the human brain is shrinking are all over the map.
Some believe the erosion of our gray matter means that modern humans are indeed getting dumber. (Late-night talk show hosts, take note—there’s got to be some good comic material to mine here.) Other authorities argue just the opposite: As the brain shrank, its wiring became more efficient, transforming us into quicker, more agile thinkers. Still others believe that the reduction in brain size is proof that we have tamed ourselves, just as we domesticated sheep, pigs, and cattle, all of which are smaller-brained than their wild ancestors. The more I learn, the more baffled I become that news of our shrinking brain has been so underplayed, not just in the media but among scientists. “It’s strange, I agree,” says Christopher Stringer, a paleoanthropologist and expert on human origins at the Natural History Museum in London. “Scientists haven’t given the matter the attention it deserves. Many ignore it or consider it an insignificant detail.”
But the routine dismissal is not as weird as it seems at first blush, Stringer suggests, due to the issue of scaling. “As a general rule,” he says, “the more meat on your bones, the more brain you need to control massive muscle blocks.” An elephant brain, for instance, can weigh four times as much as a human’s. Scaling is also why nobody seems too surprised by the large brains of the Neanderthals, the burly hominids that died out about 30,000 years ago.
The Homo sapiens with the biggest brains lived 20,000 to 30,000 years ago in Europe. Called the Cro-Magnons, they had barrel chests and huge, jutting jaws with enormous teeth. Consequently, their large brains have often been attributed to brawniness rather than brilliance. In support of that claim, one widely cited study found that the ratio of brain volume to body mass—commonly referred to as the encephalization quotient, or EQ—was the same for Cro-Magnons as it is for us. On that basis, Stringer says, our ancestors were presumed to have the same raw cognitive horsepower.
Now many anthropologists are rethinking the equation. For one thing, it is no longer clear that EQs flatlined back in the Stone Age. Recent studies of human fossils suggest the brain shrank more quickly than the body in near-modern times. More important, analysis of the genome casts doubt on the notion that modern humans are simply daintier but otherwise identical versions of our ancestors, right down to how we think and feel. Over the very period that the brain shrank, our DNA accumulated numerous adaptive mutations related to brain development and neurotransmitter systems—an indication that even as the organ got smaller, its inner workings changed. The impact of these mutations remains uncertain, but many scientists say it is plausible that our temperament or reasoning abilities shifted as a result.
Numerous phone calls later, it dawns on me that the world’s foremost experts do not really know why our organ of intellect has been vanishing. But after long ignoring the issue, some of them have at least decided the matter is of sufficient importance to warrant a formal inquiry. They have even drawn some bold, albeit preliminary, conclusions.
DUMBING DOWN
In search of a global explanation for our cranial downsizing, some scientists have pointed to a warming trend in the earth’s climate that also began 20,000 years ago. Since bulky bodies are better at conserving heat, larger frames may have fared better in the colder climate. As the planet warmed, selection might have favored people of slighter stature. So, the argument goes, skeletons and skulls shrank as the temperature rose—and the brain got smaller in the process. Stringer thinks there is something to that idea, but he doubts it is the whole explanation. As he points out, comparable warming periods occurred many times over the previous 2 million years, yet body and brain size regularly increased.
Another popular theory attributes the decrease to the advent of agriculture, which, paradoxically, had the initial effect of worsening nutrition. Quite simply, the first farmers were not very successful at eking out a living from the land, and their grain-heavy diet was deficient in protein and vitamins—critical for fueling growth of the body and brain. In response to chronic malnutrition, our body and brain might have shrunk. Many anthropologists are skeptical of that explanation, however. The reason: The agricultural revolution did not arrive in Australia or southern Africa until almost contemporary times, yet brain size has declined since the Stone Age in those places, too.
Which brings us to an unpleasant possibility. “You may not want to hear this,” says cognitive scientist David Geary of the University of Missouri, “but I think the best explanation for the decline in our brain size is the idiocracy theory.” Geary is referring to the eponymous 2006 film by Mike Judge about an ordinary guy who becomes involved in a hibernation experiment at the dawn of the 21st century. When he wakes up 500 years later, he is easily the smartest person on the dumbed-down planet. “I think something a little bit like that happened to us,” Geary says. In other words, idiocracy is where we are now.

Males came to power about 5000 years ago.
Before, it was women who ruled the world.
Book, Messengers of the Dawn, Barbara Marciniak, Ed. Ariane}
"It is the woman who was chosen, from the beginning, by the Invisible to act prophetically on the White race, and it is to a prophecy of the woman in a state of ecstasy, of the Volupsa that the Whites last their salvation. On the point of coming to terms with their hands, two great white leaders were warned by the Volupsa that the black warriors, hidden in large numbers in the surrounding area, were only waiting for the end of the struggle between the whites to come and destroy the survivors. This supernatural revelation greatly struck the minds of the two leaders who united and exterminated the blacks. The authority of the Druidesses grew, but they eventually introduced terror and human sacrifice. Around 10,000 BC, some of the Celts left to flee the Druids. These are these wandering Celts or bodhones, part of whom later, after a thousand vicissitudes, constituted the Hebrew people.
A druid named Ram came to save the compatriots from leprosy and druids. A "revelation" taught him to prepare the oak mistletoe in a certain way to cure leprosy and a way for the college of druids to no longer be under the authority of the druids.
To avoid a civil war, Ram had to leave the country with several thousand Celts around 6700 BC. He eventually gave birth to Ram's Empire, which had a great influence on all the traditions of the White race.
He later changed his name from Ram (the Aries) to Lam (the lamb) and founded the Lamic cult in Tibet.
"It is here that secular historians begin history. They see the white or Aryan race coming from India to bring from there, the white tradition all over the Earth; but they do not know that the Whites had come from elsewhere and from the West to India. "

Rama (Hindus), Lama (Thibet), Fô (China), Pa (Japan), Pa-Pa, Pa-di-Shah or Pa-si-pa (North Asia), Giam-Shyd (Persians, Iranians), Dionysus (Arriens).

Irish-Tyre: The Tribe of Dan in Northern Ireland
by Moe | History of the Brotherhood, Irish History, Latest Media
“The native rulers fled abroad in the episode known as the Flight of the Earls but, as with all the major Irish kingships, the line of descent continues into the present day.”
One of the oldest and most important kingdoms of Ancient Europe had originated in the Northern lands of Gaelic Ireland in a place that I would like to call the “New Tyre of the West.” It is from here where we can find the lost Tribe of Dan who is called in the Ancient Irish Annals the “Tuatha-da-Danaans.”
A tribe, people, and place who I believe along with the Tribe of Judah that one day may be credited with helping lay the cornerstone down for the foundation of Ireland and many other countries which spawned shortly thereafter.
The lost history of the Irish Tyranians who I believe is connected to the Biblical “Tribe of Dan” can be found secretly encoded into their long illustrious history, the geography of the region, and the hardships and success they have both endured and earned through countless centuries of fighting for God’s kingdom.
Today, we know of this location of the Irish Tyranians with their tribe the Tuatha-da-Danans in the province of Tyrconnell, also spelled Tirconnell, in the present-day County Donegal. Anciently, I have found that it was also spelled Tyr II, Tyrol, and or Tyrone.
ETYMOLOGY OF TYR-CONN-ELL
Before I delve into this fascinating history, it is important that I first quickly explain the etymology of the name Tyrconnell and also the County Donegal.
Tyrconnell is a compound word containing the words “Tyr, conn, and ell.”
In a previous article, Tyre-Egypt: God’s Ancient Stone Masons of the Tora, I had went over the etymology of Tyre where I show that it is derived for the old words in many different languages for rock, stone, and or mountain which was anciently called “Tur, Tsur, Tzor, Tor, Tora, Toorah, Tura, Tyr, Tir etc.”
I had also shown that the Phoenician Tyranians were world-traveling Master Masons who were the hereditary descendants of King Hiram in search of the Tyr Limestone. They were also world-famous throughout history to be the best shipbuilders, navigators, and businessmen who had a long tradition of naming their new settlements in a new language that can be proved had spawned from their Phoenician ports and alphabets which they took with them from the East.
After careful analyzation of their history, this proves to me that this was their simple secret formula for not only the birth of successful nation-states but also the legal identification of their landholdings ie: real estate titles.
They seem to follow the same exact Babylonian plan wherever they would venture around the globe as we find in Northern Ireland such as in Donegal County and Ulster where they governed. I would assume that if you are an ancient military and city planner for Tyre that they would both incorporate and honor the necessary ingredients for city planning from their ancestors which included cornerstones brought from their ancestral lands, language, names, laws, religion, and their main method of domination, commerce.
Their main military goal where they traveled was to find and seize all territory along a country’s largest waterways, rivers, and lakes for unlimited freshwater, agriculture and also the safest seaport for travel, commerce, exports, and imports.
In this areal photo of Northern Ireland, we can clearly see that any tribe that ruled from Donegal and Ulster controlled the largest waterways, ports, and from North Coast, they could easily deploy to Scotland and rule these lands with their boats and armies.
Not surprisingly, it was in these precise locations where they would not only find their prized white limestone (AKA – Tyr, Tir, Tur, Tor) for their immortal Masonic endeavors, but they would also be able to gain control of entire countries and sometimes multiple countries. Once they would become established, they would rule these lands through commerce, laws, religion, myths, and education which they created this system of conquering a native people’s mind, body, and soul which all coincide with one another.
Hence, what worked in Tyre, Egypt and even better in Tyre, Crete would also work wherever they would travel such as this new successful colony in what could be called the third Tyre – Tyrconnell, Ireland. They would also use place names to designate their specific domain (dan-ain), a compound word derived from dan-ain for the Tribe of Dan
This same military methodology that endures the test of time to this very day.
The meaning of the next word in Tyr-conn-ell is ‘conn or con’ which means ‘with’ and is related to the Gaelic ‘comh’ – a prefix denoting “with, com or con.”
Not surprisingly and as I have witnessed as a global fact, these Irish Masonic Builders of Solomon’s Temple from ancient Tyre had added the old name for God onto their name which is the Phoenician and Hebrew El also spelled ul,il, or al and can be variously translated as “God, Lord and or Governor”
With that said, the meaning of Tyrconnell is “Stone-Rock of God or “God’s Stone Masons.”
ETYMOLOGY OF DONEGAL COUNTY
As I mentioned above, the men of Tyre had honored their ancestor’s several ways and I have found that the main method by which they did so was the naming of geographic locations that they controlled like the city of Tyrconnell in their county which they named ‘Donegal.’
In this compound word of Donegal which is composed of the words “don or dan” and the word egal”, we can find the name of the lost Tribe of Dan who is called the “Tuatha-da-Danans” officially encoded into North Irelands ancient history.
The meaning of the Gaelic name Don is also Dan in English was applied to their territory Donegal in order to honor their Tribe of Dan. Since ancient times, the name Dan, Don and or Dom was a title of respect given in Ireland, Scotland, and England to learned or clever men.
For example, in the Lowland Scotch language, a Dominie was a “schoolmaster” and in Latin, a Dominus is a lord, a master and where we get the word dominate, to rule, and dominion, lordship, mastery, rule. Likewise, in Spanish, a Don is a title that is equivalent to “Sir or Master.”
This was the same title of Dom for the original Catholic Benedictine Priesthood which was first only applied to monks, but afterward was extended to persons of all respectable professions.
The next word in Donegal is ‘egal’ which simply means “equal or equal to”.
Therefore, we can say that the territory of Danites was the County Donegal which means the “County or Province Equal to Dan.” I believe this could be in reference to the “Western Branch” in which they being now masters of both Ireland and Scotland were equal in the West to their Eastern Brethren of the Tribe of Dan.
GEOGRAPHICAL SCIENCE SETS THEE WAYMARKS OF DAN
We find that the Tribe of Dan has Set thee waymarks in the places which were named after them meaning Dan’s resting place. This geography corresponds to ancient Irish history which says that in approximately 585, B. C, a ship landed at Ulster, Ireland, which was manned by the “Tuatha-da-Danans” (Tribe of Dan).
According to the annals, amongst their cargo on their voyage to Ireland they were in possession of a large oblong stone in which after their vessel had been temporarily disabled on the coast of Spain, during which the King of Spain attempted to obtain possession of the stone, but the king failed and the guardians of the stone, the Tuatha-da-Danans made it out of Spain to land on the beautiful coast of Northern Ireland.
In Ptolemy’s map of Ireland, we find Dan’s- Lough, Dan-Sowar, Dan-Sobairse, Dan’s resting place, and Dan’s habitation, and Dan-gan Castle (the birth-place of the Duke of Wellington).
Irish Historian, Thomas Moore had written that the Tuatha de Danaan (Tribe of Dana), “after sojourning for some time in Greece… proceeded from thence to Denmark and Norway”.
Author Geoffrey Keating (ca.1570 1646)had said that the Danaans were a people of great learning and wealth; they left Greece after a battle with the Assyrians and went to Ireland; and also to Danmark, and called it “DAN-mares”, “Dan’s country.”
According to The Essential Teachings of Herbert W. Armstrong, the Tribe of Dan left their serpent waymarks at “Danslaugh,” “Dansower,” “Dundalke,” “Dundrum,” “Donegal Bay,” “Donegal City,” “Dunglow,” “Londonderry,” and ” Dingle,”
THE IRISH OLLAMS SAME AS SONS OF ULAM ALL OVER THE WORLD
It was said in the Irish Annals that among the passengers of the Danans was a princess of remarkable beauty named Tephi who was accompanied by her guardian, afterward known by the name Ollam Fola. In my previous article, I explain that King Ollamh (Ollam) Fodhla was known as the great lawgiver and patron of learning to early Ireland.
To this day in Ireland as it did then, an ollam or ollamh means “a doctor, professor and or scholar of any kind of learning.” In other countries around the world such as in the Islamic nation, these learned me are known as the Ulam of Mulah.
King Ollam is mentioned in the “Annals of the Four Masters,” p. 412, as a sage and law-giver. He was said to have founded a College of Ollams at Tara, or a ‘School of the Prophets.” There was actually a famous college at Tara called the Mur Ollam han, or the House of the Learned. Four Masters, p. 293.
“Besides all these reforms the great legislator founded a University at Tara, which, for rank and dignity, preceded all others of the kingdom, and which he called MurOllam-han, or the College of Doctors (vide O Halloran, Book iv., chap. 1, p. 132), which, since we have discovered the word to mean “Revealers,” would stand for the School of Revealers.
Ollam Fola ordered the sacred records to be kept at Tara. “These form the basis of ancient Irish history.” (Annals of the Four Masters, note p. 297.) Ollam Fola was called the “Chroni. cle’” (vide Moore, i, 114.)
The name we find in Ancient Irish history as Ollamh (Ollam) we can also connect Biblically to the Sons of Ulam who Bedan, meaning Son of Dan can also align to ancient Irish history.
Another passenger on the boat mentioned in the Irish annals that were associated with Tuatha-da-Danans was a man named Simon Baruch who we can identify as part of the global Sons of Ulam or in Gaelic – Ollamh (Ollam) who have been tasked to bring this knowledge to the world.
This man Simon I will discuss in a future article in which I will detail the fascinating history of the Irish Sons of Ulam of whom I believe one of the most famous is Saint Columba or Co-ulum-ba who was once a Supreme Ulam of Ireland.
THE TYRE MASONS OF TARA IRELAND
We learn that from Irish mythology that when the Tuatha-da-Danans landed in Ireland, they were newcomers and there was already a ruling king whose castle in Meath, was changed from Lothair Grofinn to Tara.
It is said that Princess Tephi upon her death was buried here in a sepulcher that is covered by a mound of earth 60 feet square whose remains are intact to this day and is called “Tara or The Hill of Tara.”
The Hill of Tara is an ancient ceremonial and burial site near Skryne in County Meath, Ireland. According to ancient tradition, it was the inauguration place and seat of the High Kings of Ireland.
Here is an ancient depiction of the topography of this area.
It is here in Tara, where you will discover the ancient remnants of the Masons of the Tyranian Irish who left numerous limestone monuments and earthworks — including burial mounds, round enclosures, the “Mound of the Hostages”, and a standing stone that some believe to be the “Stone of Destiny” (Lia Fáil).
There is also a church and graveyard on the hill.
Modern-day Tara is part of a larger ancient landscape and Tara itself is a protected national monument under the care of The Office of Public Works, an agency of the Irish Government.
To reiterate from past research, the name Tara comes from the words “tor, tur, tyr, tir, tora, torah, tura etc.” which all mean “stone or rock and later also to mean “mountain, chief, Lord, God, and or prince for their descendants.”
I believe these precise locations were known well over 2,000 years ago and were shown on Ptolemy’s ancient map of Ireland.
In Isa. 66-19 we read, and I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escaped of them unto the nations, etc., to Tarshish and the Isles afar off. On an Ancient map of Ptolemy’s, England and Scotland are named Javan, and Spain, Portugal, and France are frequently mentioned as Tarshish, the ships of Tarshish, etc.
Ulam’s son, Bedan whose history and name we can bridge with the Tuatha-da-Danans and their Irish High King Baedan which means “Son of Dan” (King Tech- Baoithin, Baithen, Baithin, Baithan, Baetin, Baitan Mor, Báetán mac Muirchertaig, “Baithen the Great”.)
This King Baedan became the father of the senior line of the Hy-Niall kings (King of Ireland and Scotland) because he was the great-grandson of Niall of the Hostages and his grandmother was Scottish Princess of Dalriada named Erca which united the two ancient kingdoms of Scotland and Ireland into one.
The Pictish Chronicles informs us that they were from Ollamhan, whence comes Mur Ollamhan at Tara, to Fiacha, son of Baedan,” who fettered the hostages of Erin and Alba. Also, seven kings of the Alban Cruithnech governed Erin (Ireland and Scotland) at Tara.
For example, Of this king’s descendants, we see the name Olma encoded into their sirnames such as his son Colmán Rímid and Maeluma.
KING MILESIUS OF IRELAND THE SAME AS KING MILESIUS OF CRETE
As I mentioned above, in the tradition of honoring their mariner ancestors, they would rename these new lands they had conquered and even the characters in their myths and also importing the very language, laws, and history in the very boats that carried them.
This is where we meet with more of their ancient mythology encoded into the Irish Annals, which include volumes called the Annals of Ulster, the Annals of the Four Masters, etc.
A major clue to the original homeland of these people comes from the old Irish folklore which states that they arrived in Ireland with an expeditionary force from anywhere between the 17th to the 6th centuries B.C. They are said to have spawned from the fifth son of King Milesius who was the progenitor of the Milesian race and hereditary Father to some of the earliest tribes of Ireland and the noble families of Ulster.
This story of King Milesius in Ireland coincides exactly with the mythology of their homeland which I believe was both in old Tyre (Tora, Tura) Egypt and in new Tyre on the Holy Island of Crete.
The ancient homelands of their ancestors.
In researching the most remote mythology on this King Milesius, we will discover that the oldest reference takes us directly to the ancient mythology of Crete where we find it was King Melissus who first introduced sacrifice to the Gods, and introduced new rights and sacred ceremonies on this island.
He had two daughters Amalthea and Melissa, which nursed the child Jupiter, and fed him with goat’s milk and honey. Melisseus was the eldest and leader of the nine Curetes (Kuretes) of Crete. The meaning of the name Melisseus is “bee-man,”and another form of Melissus, in Cretan means, “honey-man.”
CURETES & CABIRI OF CRETE SAME AS CABIRI & DRUIDS OF IRELAND
According to Diodorus Siculus, the Curetes lived in the time of Rhea; The Father of History, Herodotus and Strabo writing later both had said that the Curetes were originally Phoenicians who accompanied Cadmus out of Phoenicia.
The ancient Curetes (Kuretes) of Crete I have written extensively about these various connections in history with the Priesthood of Zeus who were also known by many other names such as the Telchnines (Telknines, Telkhis, Telegonus, or Greek, Τελχῖνες), Corybantes, Dactyls, and Cabiri.
These same Priesthoods with their same history and myths bring us to another connection to Ancient Ireland that would be hard to refute which is through the history of a well-known but mysterious Priesthood called the Druids.
For example, both the Cretans and Egyptians had a priesthood that was called the Cabiri and so did the ancient Irish.
In a previous article, The Irish Druid Cabiri Are the Same As the Phoenician Cabiri, I explained that you will find that the Latin name Cabiri and Old Irish Cabur is derived from the Phoenician Hebrew word Kabir that is sometimes spelled Cabir, Chabir, Chabiru, and Chabireh. Cabur was once of the ancient God of Ireland being that of the ancient Irish pantheon of Gods known as Axire, Axcearas, Coismaol, and Cabur.
The priests of this God were called the Druid Caburi or Cabiri.
According to the ancient Phoenician historian, Sanchoniatho, the mysteries of the Cabiri were first celebrated by the Phoenicians, and introduced into Greece. He had written that first or original Cabiri were the eight Sons of Sydyc, who was a Canaanite.
They lived in the Days of Taaut of Thoth who is the same as the Phoenician Hermes. Pausanias, the Greek historian and geographer who lived in the time of his cousin, the Roman Emperor Hadrian, relates, that the Mother of the Gods was anciently worshiped at Thebes with the Cabiri, whose Names and Mysteries he durst not divulge.
THE FALL OF THE IRISH TYRE
The kingdom of Tyrconnell represented the core homeland of the Tribe of Dan who became known in the Irish Annals as the Tuatha-da-Danans with various families and subunits of families whose the most successful under the banners of the Ulaid, Northern Uí Néill, Niall of the Nine Hostages, and Ulster all vying for power.
The chief seat of the ancient royal Irish families was sacked and ceased several times by English forces in their attempts to reduce the country to obedience to the royal authority. However, the warrior spirit of the Irish branches of the Tuatha-da-Danans proved to be a formidable fight to the invading English until the close of the reign of Elizabeth, when it would become the location of fighting during what was called Tyrone’s Rebellion at the end of the 15th Century.
It was said to be burned by Hugh O’Neill, earl of Tyrone, to prevent its falling into the hands of the queen’s forces in Ireland.
Their power continued to exist until the 17th century when before the English invaded their lands, the ancient native rulers of Ireland fled to the North and abroad in the episode known as the Flight of the Earls. It was then finally incorporated into the English-ruled Kingdom of Ireland.
But, as with all the major Irish kingships, the line of hereditary descent continues into the present day.
LEGAL BANNERS FOR THE WARRIORS OF GOD AND THE KING
In researching the Ancient History of Ireland, you will find that it was here that the first laws and legal system of the Western World was developed in the reign of Ollamh Fodhla who I have mentioned were the learned men who ruled over their people. This legal system was known as the Brehon Law which operated late into the 17th century and was abolished and later became the English common law system. After the English had conquered these lands in the time of Elizabeth I, the Brehon laws were considered to be old, lewd, and unreasonable.
However, one of the most important legal ordinances of Brehon Law was for Tribal Heraldry where their tribal insignias bearing various symbols and colors would identify their rank. It is my understanding that before this time in the West, tribal and royal heraldry was not governed by a legal assembly such as the Ollamh Fodhla.
The various Celtic Tribes who jostled for control of Ireland were distinguished by particular symbols and colors each class of society was to wear in their clothes were specially regulated by Brehon Law.
Servants wore clothes with one color and one step up was a rent-paying farmer who wore two colors. Military officers wore three colors and their chiefs wore five colors. The highest members of society being the ollamhs and poets wore six colors in the clothes and seven colors in the clothes of kings and queens.
This system of royal authority was left to the family and tribe to be in charge of their own heraldry and royal rankings which would leave this legal loophole open to corruption and fraud. In researching the royal families of the world and priesthood over the last 2,500 years, I would say with confidence that this fraud has most likely happened quite often. Especially under the English Common Law System.
The Rev. Geoffrey Keating, in his “General History of Ireland,” explains that in the reign of Ollamh Fodhla, in a “great triennial assembly at Tara, it was ordained by a law that every nobleman and great officer should, by the learned heralds, have a particular coat-of-arms assigned to him according to his merit and his quality, whereby he should be distinguished from others of the same rank, and be known wherever he appeared.”
An ancient historical account of the battle of “Magh Rath,” that was compiled from ancient manuscripts of Finn Mac Gorman, Bishop of Kildare and later transcribed by John O’Donovan from the Book of Leinster shows us exactly the names, symbols, and colors of some of these families.
Finn Mac Gorman was Bishop of Kildare in the first half of the twelfth century and died in the year 1160. Here is Mac Gorman account of the various Tribal Banners which was published in 1842 by the Irish Archaeological Society (p. 227, see also p. 847):—
“Mightily advance the battalions of Congal
To us over the ford of Ornamh;
When they came to the contest of the men
They require not to be harangued.
The token of the great warrior of Macha—
Variegated satin on warlike poles;
The banner of each bright king with prosperity
Over his own head conspicuously displayed.
The banner of Scannlan—an ornament with prosperity,
And of Fiachna Mor, the son of Baedan,
Great symbol of plunder floating from its staff
Is over the head of Congal advancing towards us.
A yellow Lion on green satin,
The insignia of the Craebh Ruadh,
Such as the noble Conchobar bore,
Is now held up by Congal.
The standards of the sons of Eochaidh
In front of the embattled hosts,
Are dun-coloured standards like fire.
Over the well-shaped spear-handles of Crumthann.
The standard of the vigorous king of Britain,
Conan Rod, the royal soldier,
Streaked satin, blue and white,
In folds displayed.”
IRISH TYRE AND THE TRIBE OF DAN FROM IRELAND CONCLUSION
To some people of modernity, this history seems nothing but a mythological fairytale and or legend of days gone by. But to others like me, it is a beautiful homage to the true history of our people and the world in this 6th Age encoded into our Holy Scriptures, nation myths and the laws of our lands of which we are in the year 2019.
The facts of hiostory are well known that the Irish tradition tells us that they are a fighting race, and as it were, “mariners” (Ezek. xxvii. 8) or seafaring men. They have hung their shields on the walls of Tyre (Ezek. xxvii. 10), and being insular, they have been vindicated by true history and their character as the Warriors for God via the Tribe of Dan.
Let it be said that legend informs us that the Tribe of Dan had also brought with them the famous Stone of Destiny, and is also known as the Stone of Scone and The Coronation Stone (Liagh Fail) on which all succeeding kings of that race were crowned. It was used for centuries in the coronation of the monarchs of Scotland, and later the monarchs of England and the Kingdom of Great Britain.
Historically, the artifact was kept at the now-ruined Scone Abbey in Scone, near Perth, Scotland. It is also known as Jacob’s Pillow Stone and the Tanist Stone, and in Scottish Gaelic, clach-na-cinneamhain.
stone of destiny
Fergus the Great borrowed the Liagh Fail to be crowned on, after his invasion of North Britain; and, being deposited in the abbey of Scone, it continued there until the reign of Edward I., who had it conveyed to Westminster Abbey, where it is now placed beneath the inauguration chair, having its name changed for that of ‘Jacob’s stone.’
Its value appears to rest upon the destiny contained in a very ancient Scythian or Irish verse, the purport of which is, ‘that where the Stone of Destiny is preserved, there a prince of the Irish race should govern.’
The hand is the instrument by which we execute our works, the sign of our nobility, the means by which the intellect gives form and shape to its artistic conceptions, by which it gives reality to the mandates of its will, by which it exercises the dominion that God conceded to man over all other creatures.
La mano è lo strumento delle nostre opere, il segno della nostra nobiltà, il mezzo attraverso il quale l'intelligenza riveste con una forma i suoi pensieri artistici, e dà esistenza alle creazioni della volontà, ed esercita l'imperio che Dio concesse all'uomo su tutte le creature.

The universe is built on a plan the profound symmetry of which is somehow present in the inner structure of our intellect.
It is very strange, this domination of our intellect by our digestive organs. We cannot work, we cannot think, unless our stomach wills so. It dictates to us our emotions, our passions. After eggs and bacon it says, "Work!" After beefsteak and porter, it says, "Sleep!" After a cup of tea (two spoonfuls for each cup, and don't let it stand for more than three minutes), it says to the brain, "Now rise, and show your strength. Be eloquent, and deep, and tender; see, with a clear eye, into Nature, and into life: spread your white wings of quivering thought, and soar, a god-like spirit, over the whirling world beneath you, up through long lanes of flaming stars to the gates of eternity!"

The John Rogers who bought Riverhill in 1840 was an only child, with a modest fortune, and a fine intellect. He became a classics scholar, a scientist and a friend of Charles Darwin. He was one of the first members of the Royal Horticultural Society and a patron of the plant collectors of the day.
He chose Riverhill because its sheltered situation offered an ideal lime free hillside where he could hope to establish newly introduced trees and shrubs. From his garden notebook, it can be seen that planting started in 1842. Subsequent generations, continued the planting and in 1910 Colonel John Middleton Rogers created what is now known as ‘The Wood Garden’ a fine collection of Japanese Maples, Rhododendrons and Azaleas. His wife, the infamous Muriel, created many additions including the now hidden Rock Gardens.
Until the beginning of the 2nd World War, eight full time gardeners kept Riverhill looking immaculate. Since the war years, however, a shortage of manpower and a lack of money has meant that the garden was allowed to deteriorate, with many parts of the original planting lost to everyday use and visitors.
Today, four generations of the Rogers family live at Riverhill,
The estate is managed by Edward Rogers (Great-great-great-grandson of the John Rogers who bought Riverhill in 1840) and his wife, Sarah.

Parents are channeling their kids these days…I'm see a lot of bettering of the intellect…but I'm not seeing a lot of bettering of their spirituality.
How many can appreciate the repose of soul, resignation and silence of Jesus that is illustrated by the great Ariel Agemian above.
A ancient mob cries,
"If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar; for everyone who makes himself a king sets himself against Caesar!"
That mob of 2,000 years ago takes many forms today.
Jesus, imprisoned then...and imprisoned now.
Silence, at so many levels, becomes the ultimate revolt against the vast climate of evil that surrounds us...and that Christian act of justified witholding disturbs the "peace" of the pagan.
The residents of the Secular City eventually come seeking affirmation from the City of God.
Of course, none is given.
At times, limited forms of affirmation may be given. For some of the actual good that is being done in that city.
But many times none is given. Just silence.
Ix-nays.
Now it should suprise no one that eventually that sort of milieu leads to reprisals against the City of God, by the secular crowd. Often violent.
Or in Canada...false Human Rights Tribunals that punish a person for publically living out his faith.
Whenever religion is supressed, like it is in North America, especially Christianity, look for the communist. Or the secular humanist. In a free society...they're always behind the scenes pushing their "neutral" atheistic agenda. And persecuting Christians along the way.
See folks, times haven't changed.
