period of time during which the sun cycles through all of the zodiacal
constellations, lasting about 25,000 years. Every 2,000 years (more or

unconsciously, adopts symbolism that relates to that zodiacal sign. For
nearly the past 2,000 years the sun was in the constellation of Pisces

Oddly enough, Christianity has always been represented by the symbol of a

previous sign of the zodiac, which means that the world is set to enter

that the terrorists and the Taliban are doing these things to threaten
girls and stop them going to school," Aseer said last week. "That's
something we and the people believe. Now we are implementing democracy in
Afghanistan and we want girls to be educated, but the government's
enemies don't want this. Taliban denied responsibility, instead blaming
the U.S. and NATO forces for the poisonings in an attempt to "defame" the
insurgent group., more than 170 women and girls were hospitalized after
drinking apparently poisoned well water at a school. Local health
officials blamed the acts on extremists opposed to women's education.

Marriage, Obama and the Me Value Culture, Debating the virtues and
morality of accepting gay marriage unions is like discussing the merits
of pedophiles catering head start parties for children. How one comes
down on the comparison, usually depends upon your own personal value
system and culture of acceptable conduct. committing a "Hate Crime" for
even having the cojones to raise the issue, exemplifies just how far
society has sunk to abandon valid intellectual scrutiny. Audacity in the
defense of Western Civilization traditions, ethics and, much less
religious principles, is rapidly becoming a ubiquitous bias-motivated
offense. Celebrating diversity has become accepting depravity/Sandusky,
even admitted to two university detectives that he hugged the boy while
both were naked.... Although this recorded admission of Sandusky’s is
an incriminating if not out-right confession of indecent contact with a
boy, no charges or additional actions were taken. The inability, even
failure of criminal justice authorities to take meaningful action to
protect a child is also not an isolated anecdote.

(NaturalNews)/Esoteric schools teach that a “Great Solar Year†is the
period of time during which the sun cycles through all of the zodiacal
constellations, lasting about 25,000 years. Every 2,000 years (more or
less) the sun enters a new zodiacal constellation and humanity, somewhat
unconsciously, adopts symbolism that relates to that zodiacal sign. For
nearly the past 2,000 years the sun was in the constellation of Pisces
(represented by Two Fishes), meaning that we are in the Piscean Age.
Oddly enough, Christianity has always been represented by the symbol of a
fish (i.e. the Jesus Fish). Every 2,000 years, the sun migrates to the
previous sign of the zodiac, which means that the world is set to enter
to Age of Aquarius. By showing the fall of Christian symbols and the

“religion”, rather than on the grounds of actual relationships between
human beings.In the words of Thomas Jefferson: “It matters not to me

expressed, insofar as it concerns the whole idea of “control of others”.
