Ted Walther's Private Diary

Revelation 12:9: And the great dragon was cast out, that old and glorious one, called the accuser, and opposer, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the land, and his agents were cast out with him.

Reading Rushdoony tonight, I found that Shalmaneser III, king of Assyria, titled himself as the "Great Dragon", the usum-gal. A quick web search confirmed that this was a common title for the kings of Assyria. Ashurnasirpal titled himself the "fierce dragon". Assyria is more commonly known in the Bible by the name of its capital city, Babylon. The Great Dragon referred to in Revelation, the Apocalypse of John, is likely the king of Babylon.

Dragons in Chinese religion seem very similar to the type of dragons known to the Mesopotamians. Dragons were god-like beings, powerful rulers, either spirit beings, or divine humans like the Egyptian Pharaoh or Sumerian god-king. Chinese and Babylonian religion was identical a few thousand years ago, and I believe many traces of that link still exist today. Their use of step-pyramids was identical in form and reason. A study of Chinese religion may yield many insights into the cuneiform clay tablets that were uncovered in Iraq, Iran, and Syria.

The Dravidians of India also have many close links to the ancient Sumerian religion, even clearer and closer than those of the Chinese. You can read a good comparison and analysis in this article Siva and Sakti in Sumeria.

A couple years ago I met Jacob, the author of the Unknown Nation website. He was quietly holding up a sign outside the public library that exhorted passerby to "Know the Real Almighty!" His faith was deep and sincere, his eyes were deep, blue, and clear. He was very patient and tolerant, firm and insistent. But his style of speaking was incomprehensible. If you look at his website you will see what I mean. Uncharitable souls might call him insane. He sleeps on a park bench. He rides an ancient bicycle everywhere.Someone who wanted to stay anonymous sat him down in front of a computer and turned his writings into a website on February 18, 2004. When talking to Jacob he mentioned that he had been in three car accidents, suffering severe concussions each time. Keep this in mind when you see his style of writing; it is the writing of a person who has suffered multiple traumatic brain injuries.

Shortly after that I met Bishop Gordon Pearce, of the Assembly of Yahowah the Eternal. Like Jacob, Gordon also had the name of God on his baseball cap, had similar age and stature, and used his body, his clothing, and his transportation as a living billboard of his religious beliefs. Like Jacob, Gordon has clear blue eyes and unshakable certainty in his message. Gordon Pearce is mostly coherent in his speaking and writing. You notice the oddities only when you attend his Sabbath service, where he becomes dogmatic that Hitler is being cloned by the anti-Christ and that Vancouver is the city of prophecy and only the eight people in his congregation will be saved.

Today, I was shown the website of Ted David More, aka Ted R. Kurts, aka Ted Jesus Christ God. He is more functional than Jacob, but just as incoherent in his speech and writing style. Ted went through a lot in his life, including being raped by the judicial system, robbed by his wife, losing some advanced Department of Defense contracts, and so on. On his website he doesn't mention any type of brain injury, but his style of writing is very similar to that of Jacob, except his is much more functional. Ted does talk of extensive physical abuse he experienced at the hands of his father as a little child. Later in life he drifted alone on a sailboat for 40 days. Possibly the voices he says he hears started at that time. Ted claims to be the Jesus and the Creator, but criticizes the doctrine of the Trinity.

All these men, at some point, were highly intelligent and deeply read. Even now, they know many pieces of esoteric information that regular people are unaware of. They aren't stupid, although they seem crazy to people who don't have the proper background to know where their ideas come from and what it is they are actually trying to express. Gordon Pearce continues to gain knowledge and develop his doctrines. But they've all gone off the rails in various ways. Are their current problems with communication a punishment for teaching falsehoods? Are they the result of horrific traumas, leaving them not responsible for their words? Or are they actually putting out a message tuned to a special wavelength which only those who are of God can pick up on and understand in its full glory? Gordon Pearce claims the last possibility to be the truth in his own particular case, and he wrote an entire book about it. If he is right, then I am among the damned. May God be praised; he saves whoever he wishes, and blinds the minds of the unbelievers.

It snowed this morning, unusual for a Vancouver March. My two cats finally started using the straw bale shelter I built for them. Nothing else had such good insulation, you see. Despite the snow, spring has arrived. My children brought me three large, well-developed crocuses. I put them in a cup of water; they should unfold their petals soon.

My last post about explorer Wade Davis wasn't a hundred percent accurate. The friend who first told me about Wade Davis emailed some corrections, which I now share with you.

Ted

I doubt if I said that Wade Davis is a Freemason, Because I do not know that for sure. In his book the Serpent and the Rainbow he explains that he was received into a spirit lodge with a certain Indian group up in Northern British Columbia, long before he went to Haiti. He says in the book that the Voodounists received him and confided in him because they discerned he'd been initiated in to their world.

On the phone in conversation, Wade Davis told me that he went to Brentwood College in Mill Bay British Columbia. A year or so after the book came out, then the movie based on it, he attended the annual homecoming.

Brentwood is one of the elite university prep schools in the world for children of upper middle class British Commonwealth establishment. Brentwood is thoroughly Masonic from its inception. An amusing sidelight is that immediately adjacent to the main rugby pitch at Brentwood is a cute little local Masonic hall. Just a co-incidence ? Thus, it is more likely than not that he is a Mason.

I think I told you that one summer when I was in Mill Bay and the homecoming was on, I saw the three members of ZZ Top the rock band walking into the supermarket. Amusing to me how ordinary that moment was. When I thought about it later, it dawned on me that they were there for the initiation in to the Masonic Order of some young man, or several, who had been a Brentwood student and was now 21 years old himself, returned for the homecomeing. Part of the power of Freemasonry is awing a member with who he's involved with. When a new initiate has the blindfold removed, and looks around the lodge to see world famous men there, it's convincing of the power of this group … and of his access to that power.

Telus Communications is a local phone company. It owns the "last mile" of copper wire that goes into everyones home, under a special monopoly granted by the King. Telus has been abusive of its monopoly. Half a year ago they billed me several hundred dollars for phone calls made during a period when I didn't even have a telephone account with them. When I called, they corrected the false billing. Now this month I get my calling card bill, and the phone calls look legitimate, but the total is double what the calls themselves add up to. I made less than $30 worth of calls, but have been charged $60.

I believe dishonesty and theft is institutionalized at Telus, and the CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) needs to step in and strip of them of their monopoly. Bring back the days of BCTel! Although BCTel was a monopoly, it was a government controlled one, subject to all the strictures of democratic transparency, accountability, and citizen review. You will notice, the CRTC has the eye of Horus as its logo. Can one expect justice from Pharoah's servants?

God's Law forbids monopolies of every sort. (Isaiah 5:18) Although I hate the pollution of the radio spectrum, and I'm not sure radio is healthy for human beings, it looks like wireless radio transmitters are the only real option for people in my city who want to communicate with the outside world without having to run through a greedy, dishonest monopoly.

The Torah does not specify an age at which a girl or boy can become married. Betrothals can happen even at infancy; but the age of consumation is not specified.

Fear not though! The principles in the Torah can enlighten any topic.

In Islam, a girls first menstruation is considered to mark her sexual availability. The prophet Mohammed himself consummated his marriage with Aisha when she was nine years old. This does not seem right. The incidence of infant and mother mortality among young mothers (those under the age of 18) is so much higher than that of mature, adult women, that it seems any humane person would outlaw marriages of underage girls.

But what does the Torah say?

Isaiah 65:22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

I ask you this, which is more precious, the fruit of a tree, or the fruit of the womb? Throughout the Word, children are spoken of the fruit of the womb. A good wife is spoken of as a fruitful tree, a fertile vine (Ezekiel 19:10, Psalm 128:3). God's people are told their days will be like those of trees.

Since we are compared to trees, perhaps God's laws about trees will apply. When is a tree considered ready for harvest?

Leviticus 19:23-25 And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of. But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD withal. And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am the LORD your God.

You can see here, the tree was not to be harvested until the fifth year after it started producing fruit. A tree that is not pruned with an eye to immediate harvest during its first three years becomes immensely stronger and healthier. At the end of that time period, it produces such a bounty of fruit as to shame its sibling who was put to work from the very beginning. If a tree, which produces delicious and excellent fruit, merits so much forbearance and care, how much more our sisters and daughters, who will produce the next generation of our race, and keep our ancestors names from dying out?

For a human female, five years after the start of menstruation is universally agreed by developmental physiologists to be sufficient time to physically mature and safely bear children. Science tells us that most women are not able to get pregnant until as much as a year after the start of menstruation. Science also tells us that women's bodies do not finish developing for at least five years after the start of menstruation.

Let any woman reading this reflect; did you feel fully developed the day your menstruation started, as the Muslims insist you were? Or was it five years later, as Moses said?

Not so long ago, the average age of menstruation was 11. Should it seem strange that at that period of time people often spoke of a girl who was "sweet sixteen"? Sweet sixteen was considered to be a "ripe" and marriageable girl. In other times, menstruation started in a womans late teens. In those times and places, the average age of marriage was in a woman's early twenties, five years after the start of menstruation. It seems that Western human beings have instinctively felt for many centuries that which the Torah proclaims in symbols.

When a man goes in unto a virgin, he "pops her cherry". Who likes to eat green cherries? Such a man will break his teeth, and the seed inside the fruit will not sprout and multiply. What should Western countries do about Muslims who prefer such unripe fruit? Are they any different from those who lust after the golden apples of Eris and Iduna?

The God of the Torah is the ultimate fertility God. He doesn't just care about the quantity of life a woman can produce through childbirth; he cares how much of that life will survive into adulthood, to breed more life in its turn. He sees the big picture. Healthy babies that survive their childhood are important to him. Healthy mothers who live long lives and help their children succeed are even more important to him.

Explorer Wade Davis is an interesting character; need to do more research on him. A friend reported the following to me: That, acting as a Freemason, he was iniated into the spirit dance of the West Coast Indians (Kwakuitl, most likely) where he went into a deep trance state and literally felt himself being posessed. Later, in Haiti, he unlocked the mystery of the zombies because of this experience. He was allowed into places no white man is allowed, because the witch doctors sensed that he was "one of them"; he had gone through a particular process that left its mark. That process was the spirit dance, which shared essential traits with African voodoo and with the possession states found in Southeast Asia. During his time among the Amazonian savages, he noted that the child concubines all went through adolescences with weak and permanently dislocated hips. Is this what happened to the prophet Mohammeds nine year old bride, Aisha? Is that any better than the Chinese practice of foot-binding?

Without a father, a young man is at a severe disadvantage. Many people assume a fathers role ends at age 18. I disagree.

At least in the case of elephants, scientists now also disagree. I've posted an article by Rachel Lower, Young Elephants Run Amuck. Young male orphan elephants were put together in a giant park together with female elephants of varying ages, but no male elephants. After a few years, dead rhinos were found all over the park. Noone knew what was killing them until the young male elephants were observed in action. Without older male elephants to form a hierarchy and act as a stabilizing influence, they turned to anti-social behavior.

Once older adult male elephants were introduced to the park, the young elephants started behaving themselves, and their hyper-sexual behavior disappeared.

You will note the female elephants took very good care of themselves; they suffered no harassment. Young males in a female dominated society will almost always turn to extreme anti-social behavior as a way of coping with the urges and desires that females prevent them from expressing.
