Scanned : Mr Blue Sky Proofed : Its Not Raining Version : 2.0 Date : 03/12/2002 INTRODUCTION I was about twelve years old when I came upon a bundle of magazines tied with string in a second- hand bookshop - the original edition of H. G. Wells’s Outline of History, published in 1920. Since some of the parts were missing, I got the whole pile for a few shillings. It was, I must admit, the pictures that attracted me - splendid full-page colour illustrations of plesiosaurs on a Mesozoic beach; Neanderthal men snarling in the entrance to their cave; the giant rock-hewn statues of Rameses II and his consort at Abu Simbel. Far more than Wells’s text, these brought a breathless sensation of the total sweep of world history. Even today I feel a flash of the old magical excitement as I look at them - that peculiar delight that children feel when someone says, ‘Once upon a time ...’ In 1946, Penguin Books republished ten volumes of Wells to celebrate his eightieth birthday, including the condensed version of the Outline, A Short History of the World.

  • Princess Di (E): Illuminati Ritual Sacrifice by Cainite Royals
    ISSN 2664-4002 (Print) & ISSN 2664-6714 (Online) South Asian Research Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Abbreviated Key Title: South Asian Res J Human Soc Sci | Volume-2 | Issue-1| Jan-Feb -2020 | DOI: 10.36346/sarjhss.2020.v02i01.011 Review Article Princess Di (e): Illuminati Ritual Sacrifice by Cainite Royals Timothy Spearman* Toronto International College *Corresponding Author Timothy Spearman Article History Received: 03.02.2020 Accepted: 11.02.2020 Published: 29.02.2020 Abstract: Many people are unaware of the fact that we are ruled over by overarching global elite of interbreeding bloodline families, who have been referred to be various names. World Bank whistleblower Karen Hudes refers to these interbreeding bloodline families as a separate species of human she calls homo capensis. Secret societies like Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism allow these elites to keep their objectives secret, while initiating their bloodlines to the highest degrees within their aristocratic societies, ruling over us with an iron fist. The Royal Family of the United Kingdom is the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha German Royal Family in disguise. Their bloodline is the Cainite bloodline from antiquity. Their blood type as with all of the ascendant aristocracy of the world features the RH-negative blood type. Human mothers often reject the fetuses in the womb if the father is of the homo capensis bloodline. These bloodlines worship the dark forces and conduct Satanic rituals the world over. Fritz Springmeier's Bloodlines of the Illuminati has exposed the 13 bloodline families of the ruling Illuminati elite. This essay exposes the fact that the Satanic British Royals sacrificed Princess Di(e) in a Satanic ritual in a Parisian tunnel beneath a hill, where for centuries children were sacrificed to the moon goddess Diana.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION. The volume open s with a series of Indulgences granted by the Article I. Pope or by individual Bishops. The archives of the Cathedral are very rich in these Indulgences, for no less than seventy-six, ranging from 1201 to 1387, are preserved in the Archive Room." In the Southern Province, Canterbury granted six Indulgences, London seven, Bath and Chichester one each; Exeter, Lincoln, Rochester, and Winchester, two each; Coventry and Lichfield, and "Worcester, three; Ely, Salisbury, and Hereford, five; whilst Norwich, still more liberally, granted seven. Nor was Wales behindhand, S. David's, Bangor, and LlandafT granting two, two, and three respect- ively. In the Northern Province the interest somewhat diminished, for York, Carlisle, and Durham granted but one Indulgence apiece. Ireland, however, did not forget the wants of London, for the Bishops of Caahel, Connor, Down, Elphin, Killaloe, and Leighlin lend their aid. A single Indulgence from the Bishop of Brechin represents the contribution from Scotland. Nor are foreign prelates slow to indicate their sympathy; Cardinal Otho, Cardinal Siran de Sully (Archbishop of Bourges), and the Archbishop of Cologne add their names to the long list. Sometimes the object sought is the repair of the Cathedral generally, and the contribution is to be made adfabricam Ecclesiee; sometimes to particular works in the Cathedral, adpartem australem, veins et novutn opus, ad fabricam veteris operis et Campanilis, ad * In Appendix A. will be found a tabnlated list of these Indulgences, which I have compiled from the originals.
