Strange Effects of Pyramid

Monday, April 26th, 2010

Water is not “purified” under a pyramid, as the claims say, however it is chemically altered. Water is a polar molecule. The hydrogen bond is what allows this change to occur.

The orgone energy produced by the pyramid polarizes, lines up, or somehow alters the hydrogen bond. This alters not only the taste of the water but some of it’s chemical properties as well. Water that is “charged” with pyramid/orgone energy can pass on the energy to other things.

Watering plants with pyramid water will help them grow better. Some people drink pyramid water too. If you would like to made lots of pyramid water to drink, put a gallon or less of water under a large frame pyramid (6ft base) and leave it for an hour. Treating small amounts of water under a small or large pyramid, takes only 10 to 15 minutes.

Sharpen razor blades:

This sounds really strange, but it’s true.

A dull razor blade is impregnated with water molecules. Now a pyramid creates a condition of microwave-dehydration (on non-living things), and removes the water from the steel. The moon cycles can affect results, as the moon cycles affect earth’s magnetic field, and pyramid energy is related to magnetism (that’s why (more…)

Why we should study history

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

History is an excellent thing to study. I’m going to tell you why right now. Think about all of the things that you enjoy. Movies, sports, weapons, food, music, books, household items, mankind, even the clothes you’re wearing. All of those things have a great History behind them. If you study the history of something that you really enjoy then you will without a doubt find history to be a very fascinating topic to study and learn about. It’s also been said time and again, by many teachers, and historians that History is like an echo because it repeats itself again and again. It’s also a known fact that it can be very difficult to navigate the future if you know nothing about the past. The more you know about what happened in the past the more likely you will be prepared for what’s bound to happen in the future. I myself am a big History Buff and I watch the History Channel whenever I can, and I study wars, foods, sports, inventions, and any other History topic that I can find. Another thing is that there are so many different kinds of history, US History, World History, Middle Age (more…)

Commentary: Changing the course of history

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

In Brian Fagan’s The Long Summer: How Climate Changed Civilisation (2004), he made a statement referring to El Ninos: Some of these rapid shifts were brief: others lasted centuries and changed history.’ (p.130). Now something about that sentence niggled me and I realised that he had made a statement, that though commonly used by people, especially among historians and archaeologists cannot happen: changed history’? Surely not! History or its course cannot be changed.

This may seem an innocuous phrase and a pedantic response as such, but history flows in a linear manner and cannot be subject to change, because you cannot change the past. If Fagan meant that history was changed from the point of view of present-day academics in regards to changing their theories, notions and books about history accordingly to new data, then that is acceptable. But thinking one knows how history would have run had an event occurred or not occurred, thus supposedly changing history is something else entirely.

The Ice Ages, Thermopylae, the Aztec conquest, the Battle of Hastings, and the Fall of Constantinople happened as they were meant to happen. Even if they did not happen, we would not know about it as being different and (more…)

The causes of World War II

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

World War II remains to date one of the most complicated conflicts in the history of the world. There were many factors that contributed to the cause of World War II, all of which seem to generate from the singing of the Treaty of Versailles and the end of World War I.

The immediate causes for World War II can be attributed to the invasion of Poland by German powers and the attacks of the United States and China by the Japanese. World War Ii ultimately began after an official declaration of war was made in the result of the aggressive actions made by the ruling parties of Germany and Japan. However, the events that culminated into World War II began shortly after the signing of the Treaty of Versailles.

Germany was bitter due to the outlines of the Treaty of Versailles, which assigned most of the blame on it for the events that led to World War I. The Treaty of Versailles was severe in punishment to Germany and those that allied with its power. The treaty outlined for heavy reparations to be paid as well as the loss of lands and a vast majority (more…)

The value of oral history in local communities

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Oral history is the priceless, “voice of the people” window on official “text book” history. Oral history connects generations intimately. The little people, the local community find their identity and place in world events via oral history.

Oral history is the verbal response to moments in past or present time. It may take the form of a memoir, a reflection or a comment on significant individual experiences. Oral history is localized storytelling of political and social, cultural and business, family and personal histories; it offers insights into humanity’s response to natural or man-made events and disasters. Oral history provides answers to “Where was I?” and “What was I doing when?” Interviewing a select group of people, with prepared questions, and taping their responses, is a means of capturing oral history.

Family, oral responses to significant disasters are a wonderful way to bring history close to the local family community!

* “Granma! What was it like in the Great Depression? What was it like to queue up with coupons for bread and milk? Was our family really poor? What did you do for fun?”

* “Dad! Tell me about Cyclone Tracy on Christmas Day 1974! You got the family out of (more…)

The relationship between World War I and World War II

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

In many respects, World War II was a much different war than its predecessor, World War I. When broken down to the simple elements of technology, strategy and politics, the difference are very clear. Furthermore, it becomes quite obvious how World War I became so long-winded and predictable, leading to the four years of stalemate between the two sides.

The Generals of World War I were not prepared for the coming of modern warfare. Used to “traditional” warfare, and having never used some 19th inventions in wide scale conflicts, it comes as no surprise that the military leadership failed to adjust its strategy to accommodate new technologies.

Take the machine gun, for example. In the beginning of the war, the Kaiser (ruler of Germany) had a preference for the Cavalry. As such, he sent countless men on horseback charging straight into machine gun fire on several occasions. A perfect mistake due to the lack of co-operation between the military, the government, and the technology at their disposal and (in this case) at the disposal of their enemies.

Few such errors were seen in World War II. Even before it entered the war, the United States (more…)

Writing about history

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

History is a record or report of events that happened in the past. The knowledge of the past helps a person to understand what is happening in the present and what might happen in the future. People are interested in reading the history of their own country, for the reason that events of the past make them proud of their country and those that helped build it. The past is classified in two divisions, namely, history and prehistory. Prehistory is the time before records were written down. It also includes the period when there was some written history but not as much as we would like to know about the period, though archaeologists are gradually discovering facts that were not known previously.

The Bible is considered to be one of the earliest written histories. It goes as far back as a thousand years before the birth of Jesus. Herodotus, who lived in Greece, about 2,400 years ago, is called “the father of history.” He was the first to write down the history of other nations. He wrote nine books of history, mostly about the wars between Greece and Persia. Roman historians also wrote the history (more…)
