Mysteries of Stonehenge Revealed

Stonehenge, which is located at Wiltshire, United Kingdom, is a pre historic monument. It is composed of earth works that surround large standing stones in circular setting.

The monument is believed to be built back in 2500 B.C by the Archeologists. According to many theories, the date of the erection is still unknown where some consider it to be in 2200 B.C. and other saying it to be around 3000 B.C. But till date no such strong evidence shows the exact date of the monument being built. Since a long time there have been many questions regarding the reasons behind building of such a monument as well as location of the quarry of the stones.

But today archaeologists have been successful in finding the spot of the quarry of the huge stones. The location has been told to be as in Wales and it has been said that the extraction of the stones was done back in 2500 B.C. The enclosure which is about 1 acre in size is found on the Carn Menyn Mountain in the Preseli Hills. The discovery of the place is considered to have answered one of the mysteries of the world that attracted so many archeologists. The discovery was made after it was made sure that the origin of the blue stones can only be from one place only. Moreover the reason behind using such stones is considered to be the stones to be holy. Now with the help of chemical reactions as well as more tests, the exact spot of each stone would be found. The great discovery is made a year after the remains of band of brother was found. It is believed that they were responsible for the transportation of the blue stones. The discovery was carried by Prof Darvill who was researching on the mystery for the past 10 years.

Egyptian Doctor Severely Punished for treatment of Saudi Princess

Egyptian Doctor Raouf Amin languishes in a Saudi jail and is punished with 70 lashes once a week. Cut off from his family in Egypt, the 52-year-old doctor was convicted for prescribing painkillers to a Saudi princess that led to her addiction.

An appeal court judge ruled that Amin will be beaten weekly until he has received 1,500 lashes - and then he’ll spend another 14 years behind bars.

The judge doubled the original punishment meted out to him a little over one year ago in the lower court where Amin was sentenced to a seven-year jail term with 750 lashes.

Not surprisingly, human rights groups and the Egyptian doctor’s syndicate are outraged.

The Middle East Times was told by a human rights lawyer that Amin was given his first 70 lashes last week and will get 70 more this week.

Meanwhile, the Egyptian Organization for Human Rights (EOHR) and the foreign ministry are taking an earnest look into finding a way to have Amin quickly returned to Egypt.

The doctor, who has lived and worked in the Gulf state for more than 20 years, had been treating the princess for several months for back pains after she visited the hospital in which he worked.

Ahmed Amin, the doctor’s son, who himself was born in Saudi Arabia, claims the woman went into the hospital and specified the medication she wanted.

The woman had been receiving similar treatment in the United States after she had fallen from a horse while riding.

Hafez Abu Saeda, the director of EOHR concurred that the medication Amin had prescribed was the same as the woman had been receiving in the United States, “so it is obvious that the doctor was not at fault for her addiction,” Abu Saeda concluded.

“It is a harsh sentence that really must be looked at,” he said at his Cairo office, flipping through reports on Amin’s case.

Abu Saeda was astounded that the appeal judge gave a stiffer penalty than in the original case. It is tantamount, he said, to penalizing Amin for asserting his right of appeal.

“When you appeal against a sentencing it is the rule that it cannot go higher, but in Saudi Arabia it appears anything is possible.”

Abu Saeda said he has been in contact with Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch to publicize the jailing.

Also, the Doctor’s Syndicate in Cairo has threatened demonstrations in support of Amin.

On Monday, a small sit-in led by human rights activists and Amin’s son was held in front of the Saudi Embassy in Cairo, as a means of publicizing the sentence.

Their threats have driven the Egyptian foreign ministry to seek a solution, partly out of concern that negative repercussions in Egypt may damage relations between Cairo and Riyadh.

“We have been in contact with the foreign ministry, which has asked us for information and help to end this crisis,” Abu Saeda said, half-laughing at how quickly the government is willing to call on human rights organizations when the case is outside Egypt’s borders.

“This is strange, because if this had happened in Egypt they would be against us; but because it happened in Saudi then it is okay to work with us,” he smiled, cynically.

The Egyptian government and human rights groups have often been at odds over cases in Egypt. And especially in recent months over alleged police torture and brutality that rights groups say is endemic to the country. The state denies these incidents as mainstream, arguing that they are not the rule.

In advising ministry officials, Abu Saeda said his organization is trying to push forward points that are essential to Amin’s defense.

First, he said, Amin was not given a fair trial and this must be stated up front.

And second, the “continuous use of physical punishment is prohibited under international law in these situations and must be discontinued.”

He believes that with pressure, the Saudi government will release Amin and let him return to Egypt, “but pressure must continue. We will not stop our campaign until he is released.”

Both the Egyptian foreign ministry and the Saudi Embassy in Cairo refused to comment on the case, saying the matter is still under investigation.

The foreign ministry would only tell the Middle East Times that they “are working hard to have an Egyptian citizen returned to Egypt in the face of such harsh conditions.”

Amin’s family are grateful for any help they can get and welcome the Egyptian government’s actions as a chance to move forward.

“The last time I saw my father was over a year ago,” Hafez, his son said. “We can’t visit and we can’t get a visa since his residency was dropped. We can’t even talk to him over the phone; there is no connection between us right now.”

How Close is “Official” Full Disclosure

I always wonder about the timing of things and rarely believe that things “just happen”, especially when viewed in the national spotlight. I gave up believing in coincidences a long time ago and realize under the guise of happenstance, many gears are turning. So it was with curiosity and a desire to see beneath the fabric that I tuned into ABC last night to watch UFOs: Seeing Is Believing (Part 2) hosted by David Muir. Part 1 of this series aired in February of 2005 and was hosted by the late Peter Jennings and Part 2 mainly rehashed the Jennings episode, but this time more respected witnesses were brought forward and less debunking occurred.

I realize across the world people are anxiously awaiting disclosure and many believe that these visiting aliens may be our salvation from a doomed and dying world, but I can’t get past the idea that we are being led, not towards disclosure, but a grand deceit. While viewing television of late, both the programming and the advertisements, I’ve kept one question in mind and that question is, “What do they want me to believe?” Those in the know understand that television is absolute propaganda, changing the thinking and foundation of our country. And when we can approach our viewing from that mindset, a lot of truths become clear - not the packaged and approved “truth” being sold with expensive airtime, but the motivations behind them. We know our media is owned by a select group of men, no longer does free press reign in our world, so we must always keep that fact in the back of our minds and question their goals.

I’ve noticed in recent years that stories of UFOs and strange lights have gotten more and more mainstream attention and although I know it thrills many in the UFO community, it puts a twinge in my gut. The only reason UFOs are getting attention is that someone, with a lot of money and power, has decided to allow it. We must remember that as tightly controlled as the media is, we will not view what we are not supposed to see. So why are we seeing it now? Where are we being led?

If the belief in UFOs and extraterrestrials had remained on the fringe, I could have looked upon it with the eyes of a child, alight with curiosity and mystery, but seeing it fall into the hands of the mainstream, it becomes suspect. With countries beginning to release their previously top-secret UFO files, the Vatican stating that the belief in aliens is not inconsistent with the belief in God and cable and networks releasing programming supporting such beliefs, I think it is time to step back and reevaluate the situation.

The media created this storm of UFO belief in the 40s and 50s and although it appeared on the surface that the government did not believe, the seed was planted and over the years, nourished by movies, books and television. And now that seed, a sturdy and strong tree, is about to bear fruit. We must remember that the sowing of this seed was not natural, it was created in a lab of ratings and radio advertisements, book sales and television, so we must truly be cautious when embracing the change we see sweep through the mainstream opinion base.

The last few years have been ripe with war, fear, financial doom and natural disasters and at the same time, UFOs have flourished in the media and again I wonder, why now? I’ve written a couple articles on the Blue Beam theory of a faked alien invasion and a couple on the idea of mass depopulation and it seems to me these ideas fit together perfectly. Or perhaps since God has been replaced by science, we need to be given a new savior. Or maybe we aren’t responding to the terrorist agenda as was expected and a new fear must be instituted to keep us in line. Whatever the motivation behind the swing towards disclosure, we must remember it is a manipulation provided by the ones with the most power and influence and the only reason those doors are opening is because there is a plan and I would wager, it is not in our best interests.

With banks failing at a record rates, gas and food prices escalating daily, parts of the Gulf coast decimated by Hurricane Ike and the elections dividing us more and more I think it grows important to analyze why our leaders want us to look to the skies. There’s a lot going on, mixed messages confusing and exhausting us, police state mentalities appearing across the map and now our leaders want us to trust them as they inform us that there may be UFOs and extraterrestrial life out there and maybe, soon to be here.

As I explore the Internet, I see more and more posts from those dreaming of craft in the skies, of a war playing out in the heavens and from what I can gather those dreams are tinged with fear and the desire to escape. And frankly as one who shares the same dream, I found it fascinating that others were also experiencing it and I take it as a warning that if these dreams bloom into reality, it is not a good scenario for the average citizen. If there are UFOs and extraterrestrials, I do not believe that they will ride in like the White Knight in some fairy tale to rescue us. And if the aliens are already here, as some surmise, then they’ve been rubbing elbows with the very elite that we know we cannot trust and again, that doesn’t work out well for us.

Last night I watched as ABC programmed millions of viewers to believe that UFOs are real, not just the die-hard ufologists who already believe, but the masses and if we don’t question the motivation behind their actions, I fear many will be deceived.

Secret CIA Prison in Poland

The Polish prosecutor’s office is investigating claims there was a CIA prison in Poland for al Qaeda suspects where guards might have used methods close to torture, the prime minister’s top adviser said on Friday.

Polish media reported earlier on Friday that a classified note written by the Polish secret service had proved the existence of a U.S. Central Intelligence Agency base in Poland.

“I am not familiar with such a note and I don’t think Prime Minister Donald Tusk is either,” Slawomir Nowak, who heads Tusk’s political office, said in an interview with Tok FM radio.

“But the premier asked the justice minister to clarify this matter and the country’s prosecutor’s office is investigating the potential existence of the CIA prison.”

The Washington Post reported for the first time in 2005, quoting unnamed CIA sources, that CIA prisons existed in Europe. A U.S. human rights group, Human Rights Watch, later said Poland and Romania hosted the prisons.

“There definitely was cooperation between Polish and American secret services,” a source close to the secret service told Reuters. “But whether there was torture at the base, hopefully we will learn about that soon.”

Foreign and local media speculated that the base was operational between 2002 and 2005, while Aleksander Kwasniewski was president and Poland was run by the leftist governments of Leszek Miller and Marek Belka and then a rightist administration under Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz.

DENIALS

All three former prime ministers have denied any knowledge of such a prison or base, as have many other senior officials including top secret service personnel. Tusk’s centre-right cabinet has also played down the speculation.

“I hope this will not be confirmed,” Nowak said. “It would not only have serious consequences inside the country but would also take a very serious toll on the international scene.”

“This has to be investigated very carefully, without emotions.”

Asked about the case during a visit to France, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski urged discretion.

“I think this is all speculation about things that should be kept secret among all countries which take part in such cooperation. Let’s leave it alone. The less we talk about it the better,” Sikorski told reporters in Avignon.

Since 2005, separate reports by the Council of Europe, the European Parliament and the European Commission have concluded that CIA prisons did exist in Poland and Romania.

Under Polish law, a Pole who was party to an agreement allowing the CIA to torture suspects could be sued in the regular courts or even in the State Tribunal, a special court for government officials.

“We demanded official information from the prime minister about the prisons in June, but we never got it,” said Dawid Szescilo of the Polish unit of the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights.

“This is the third government that has banned (the release of) any information about the case, and public opinion should be given knowledge of all of this.”
