COMMENT: Now the United Nations will have to take control, for everyone’s protection…
UN News Centre
July 9, 2009
The ancient site of Babylon – home to the Hanging Gardens, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World – has been significantly damaged due to its use as a military base by coalition forces in Iraq from 2003-2004, according to a report released by the United Nations Educations, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) today.
Digging, cutting scraping and leveling resulted in considerable damage to the archaeological city, with the Ishtar Gate, the Processional Way and other key structures also being harmed, the Final Report by UNESCO’s International Coordination Committee for the Safeguarding of the Cultural Heritage of Iraq (ICC Iraq) said.The report, launched at a press conference in Paris, “provides the starting-point for the major challenge of restoration and conservation,” he added.
Babylon was the capital city for two famous kings of antiquity: Hammurabi (1792-1750 BC), who introduced one of the world’s first law codes, and Nebuchadnezzar (604-562 BC).

Wormwood is a flower which used to grow abundant at wormwood scrubs London NW
That is why after reading the bible the brits built a prison there so the star would kill only
prisoners. The soviets however built a nuclear power station on Chernobyl (Russian for
Wornwood) which in 1986 had a meltdown.
Any who plenty more ship coming so don`t hurry toward that which you seek to avoid.

Fair enough kevin, but what does this disrespect shown say about culture of american troops? read Chomsky & Tariq Ali who say that ziggurats in Iraq that have been on earth from the 3rd millenium BC have been vandalised by american spray cans and damaged by helicopters landing nearby. In terms of respecting history this is ludicrous. Not to mention damage caused by ommision to the national museum of iraq in 2003, where some of the oldest treasures in human history dating back 5000+ years used to reside.

In Greek the word “evil” is Kakas which means worthless. Evil doesnt have to be an ax murderer. A Pastor can be evil if he isn’t preaching truth because he is worthless to God.

I cannot say I agree with my story here being censored, since I was on topic and although very Biblically correct; If Babylon of old were warned like ancient Nineva, as by Jonah, don’t you editors at Infowars think my comments warning the wicked from their ways, is revelant to this story?
My thoughts are, out of love as Bradshaw calls it; Sahreing one’s spirituality, strength and hope, is indeed loving their fellow people.
Wjat was that long and wonderful opening comment by Alex Jones just now, if not the love of Christ?
Was I censored because I struck a chord or nerve with the censors? Did your healthy shame come up???Then look at it, feel it,…find it’s roots…How else can you become free of it, if not by feeling it and allowing it teach you???

Did-not the son of man also fall into the corruption and take all those prior resting in earth home as well bring the sacrifice upon Himself? No longer any curse of Adam remaineth. Now the time of the wedding, the Great Light Will remove the dross,…
Some shall know there was a prophet among them too late…

the “end times” are seven years long, according to scripture. The first 3.5 years the antichrist will be praised as a savior, and will turn on mankind in the “middle of the week” by desecrating the temple in Jerusalem…. how close are we to the last seven years…??? Who knows… but we are still far away from the “end”. The Temple MUST be built before any of these events take place.

Prepare!
Scientists have discovered “mysterious” tremors occurring deep in the San Andreas fault line and they say something may be changing down there! It may be a precursor for a large quake. These deep sounds are being picked up by monitoring equipment at various points in California.
In addition, a large quake has struck this morning off the coast of Oregon. In the last few days, a series of moderate quakes has shaken the ocean floor. Something is moving there and may trigger the 9+ we have been expecting.
Furthermore, smaller quakes are now hitting in the eastern Bahamas. This is unheard of. Perhaps Edgar Cayce’s predictions of Atlantis rising here is now happening. If so, goodbye to Florida.

IRAQ happens to be the birthplace of civilization,,Sumaria, Babylon etc, the most sacred ancient relics and mythical treasures were kept in Museums there, until raided by the US Military, evidence of Ancient astronauts and Kuniform tablets depicting serpent gods and ET intervention amongst ancient mankind all stolen to be used as Occult and NWO artifacts placed in private Illuminati collections. The same way The Nazi’s rounded up biblical artifacts and treasures such as the Spear of Destiny and Other priceless religious Items to “aid” in the take over of the world.
