1 WHY IS ASSYRIA SO IMPORTANT TO THE POWER ELITE? It is no secret that the Power Elite consists of the European Royals, the American Oligarchs, and the Vatican, whose role in world politics is clearly emerging as they decide the destiny of humanity, in the globalization process of creating a New World Order. Why is Assyria so important to the Power Elite? FACT-There is no place on earth richer in oil than Assyria. FACT-There is no place on earth richer in natural resources than Assyria. FACT-There is no place on earth richer in history, ancient artifacts and excavation sites than Assyria. FACT-There is no place on earth more strategically situated than Assyria. The Power Elite's most important mission is to control the world. How does one go about controlling the world? History has shown that the only way to control the world is by controlling the world's human and natural resources. OIL-There are untapped oil wells in Assyria, which the Power Elite has set its designs on, as the oil resources of the world diminish more and more each day. No nation on earth can say it does not rely on oil to function. Therefore, oil is and will be the most important resource to fight to the death for and seek to control. Natural Resources-Assyria is rich in natural resources, precious minerals, (iron, ore, copper, nickel, etc.) and precious metals, (silver and gold, etc.) not to mention diamonds. Everything the Power Elite needs to sustain its development, expansion, and hegemony. Artifacts-Assyria is the richest nation on earth in history, to the extent that it was the first to forge human history. All the civilizations of the world emerged from Assyria, which is why it is called the Cradle of Civilization. There are thousands of yet to be excavated sites in Assyria. These excavations will reveal the TRUE story of humanity, by way of its cultural and religious development. To control these sites is to control humanity's true heritage, to be able to rewrite history, changing historical realities to determine the advantageous outcomes of political policy. To control humanity's destiny, is to shape future events, in order to maintain the power of the Power Elite. The priceless artifacts that have already been stolen and taken to Europe have made the European Royals untold trillions in revenue, and have enabled them to maintain their wealth beyond the imagination of any ordinary human being. Moreover, by owning our artifacts, the Power Elite has controlled humanity s history and heritage, and has sealed the truth about Assyria and Assyrian history, culture, language and religion from the world. Art documents the

2 history of human civilization, as well as promotes the power and influence of those who own it and control it, which in turn validates and sustains their power, as well as enable to control the price structure of everything being produced for consumption as well as personal inheritance. To control art and artifacts means to control history, which enables the Power Elite to decide who will live and who will die, who will have a country of their own, and who will be wiped out, and more importantly, how to control human expression by way of developing a certain cultural and religious ideology, to promote and sustain that power. Strategically-Assyria is the most important place on earth for the Power Elite. They can control not only the political processes of the entire Middle East from Assyria, as it borders some of the most strategically important nations in Asia, (Jordan, Syria, Turkey, Iran, Kuwait, and the Gulf states) but enabling them to control the world s geopolitics by making a colonial post out of Assyria for the following purposes: 1-Giving the Power Elite a permanent GATEWAY into the Middle East, enabling them to divide and rule as they please. 2-Installing permanent Power Elite military basis, enabling them to control the flow of resources, and military weapons. 3-Strategically placing themselves closer to China and Russia, the two Red giants whom the Power elite fears. 4-Enabling them to Install a NEW country on top of Assyria, permanently creating a satellite state such as Kurdistan, in the same manner they installed the Colonial satellite state of Israel on top of Palestine, gaining a permanent foothold into Middle Eastern affairs. WHO are the ONLY people standing in the way of the Power Elite to achieve their goals? THE ASSYRIANS, that's who. To rid Assyria of ALL Assyrians is to accomplish ALL of the Power Elite's missions. HOW does the Power Elite intend to rid Assyria of Assyrians? 1-To MARTYR the Assyrians by creating ethnic and religious divides in Assyria, causing their slaughter. 2-To create Assyrian refugees, and scatter them abroad, making it easier for them to forget Assyria, cutting them off from their ancestral land, national identity, and their language and culture. 3-To silence the Assyrians permanently, they carve the Kurdish enclave, using their Kurdish slaves to achieve their colonial objectives. No Kurd will stand in their way, after the Power Elite has transformed our homeland into Kurdistan, sealing the deal that exchanged Assyria for Geopolitical access for the Power Elite. No Kurd will object to the looting of Assyria, as they are not the indigenous people of that land to begin with, therefore losing no skin off their nose. Only the Assyrians would object to the transformation of Assyria from Ashurland to an Imperialist outpost, and to the looting of their national identity, treasures and resources. 4-To make the Assyrians "Christians", so they can engage them for the rest of their lives as pilgrims the way the Pope suggested, and CRUSADERS, defending the Christians of the world, martyring themselves for the spiritual salvation of humanity, instead of the salvation of

3 their homeland, Assyria. 5-To render the Assyrians helpless and powerless, equipped with only a cross, instead of weapons to defend themselves. Once they have been made helpless and powerless, they become IMPOTENT, no longer able to participate in geopolitical much less historical processes, to create new history for themselves. This is how you CONTROLL a nation, PERMANENTLY, and render them INEFFECTIVE, INSIGNIFICANT, and DOMICILE. 6- By making permanent refugees of the remaining Assyrians in Assyria, the Power Elite ensures the Assyrian language, culture, national identity, and national homeland is fragmented permanently, never again to be able to recover and reclaim what it is rightfully theirs. WHERE is the Power Elite s biggest and most powerful ally and accomplice situated? At the VATICAN, that s where. The Power Elite s permanent member and most natural ally is situated in the heart of the most powerful and wealthiest city on earth: Vatican City. Vatican City s emperor is the Pope, the most powerful religious figure in the universe. He heads the most powerful army of the world, THE SALVATION ARMY. No war, no invasion, no geopolitical expansion can take place without the blessings of the Vatican Emperor. The current Pope is a NAZI to boot! What better way to initiate the Fourth Reich, by which the Power Elite can install its power to control the world than to unleash the Pope s call for CRUSADE against Islam, where the Assyrians can be sacrificed in the process of suppressing the Islamic people, whom they fear will stand in their way of transforming the entire Middle East into a Western Imperialist harlot. HOW will the Power Elite use the Pope to accomplish what it needs to do to the Assyrians? The Power Elite will use the Pope, the most powerful religious figure in the universe, to call for a Christian unity among the Assyrian nation who is divided ecclesiastically. The Pope was recently visited by George Bush who pleaded with him to become an instrument in helping the Power Elite accomplish their objectives in Iraq. The Pope in turn, received His Holiness Mar Dinkha IV, who is the patriarch of the largest Assyrian ecclesiastical denomination, the Assyrian Church of the East, ACOE, to ask him and his synod to resume entering full Communion with Rome, the way they had attempted to do nearly a decade ago. HH Mar Dinkha, in a desperate move to help his suffering Assyrian nation, asked the Pope to use any means at his disposal to help the Christians of Iraq from the horrendous situation they find themselves in. But the Pope, directed by the Power Elite, knows in order to neutralize the Assyrian national identity he must broker the deal with the largest Assyrian congregation, the ACOE. If the Pope can absorb the largest Assyrian congregation into the Roman church, then Assyria s national identity will become history, as Assyria s national cause will be turned into a Christian cause. This is why the Chaldeans are pushing the Assyrians so hard for Christian unity to enable us to survive in Iraq aginst the Islamic Jihad, and to forget about an Assyrian province where we can maintain our ethnic identity, language, have self-rule, and self-determination. On the contrary, the Chaldeans and their Pope have made a target out of EVERY Christian in Iraq, by insisting they call themselves Christians.

4 This attempt by the Vatican had failed once before, when the Vatican used one of ACOE s Vatican-trained Mar Bawai Soro to achieve the absorption and neutralization of the Assyrians. The former Bishop was directed by the Vatican to diligently pave the way for the ACOE to enter full communion with the Vatican. In the midst of this process, Iraq was attacked by the United States, and a new government was installed by England and the United States, and Paul Bremmer was sent to Iraq to install the new Iraqi parliament. Immediately afterwards, the Power Elite dispatched the designated Assyrian representative, Yonadam Kanna, who happened to be the secretary general of Assyria s largest political party, and sent him to the Vatican to meet with the Pope in Rome before his installation in the new Interim Iraqi government. Kanna flew to Rome and met with the Pope, where a deal was struck to install Kanna as the Christian representative in Iraq, in exchange for the Assyrian identity and national homeland. Kanna immediately changed his ecclesiastical affiliation, becoming a Chaldean, (a Catholic Assyrian) and changed the Assyrian national name to Chaldo/Assyrian/ Syrian, transforming the Assyrian nation into three Christian denominations. This was a political move set by the Vatican, which was to form a Christian unity, thus neutralizing the Assyrians and renovating them into religious sects, rather than a legitimate nation, so that it can no longer be able to obtain national rights in the new Iraq created by the Power Elite. Kanna fulfilled his duties by serving Vatican s purpose for the next three years, calling himself the Christian representative, and allying himself with ACOE s then Bishop Soro, to attain the Vatican objective in delivering the last remaining nationalistic Assyrians to the Roman church, thus nullifying their national identity, their national cause and their national rights in their own homeland, and subsequently earning a Christian chair in the Iraqi parliament as his reward for his good service to the Vatican. Kanna not only had to sacrifice the entire Assyrian nation in the process, but was able to single-handedly hijack Assyria s largest and most financially supported national movement and political party, the Assyrian Democratic Movement, to make it the instrument of the Vatican, rather than the Assyrian nation s last remaining political weapon. In this manner, Kanna silenced the Assyrian global political voice, and attempted to decimate the largest Assyrian church, the ACOE, who stood in Kanna s and Vatican s way to achieve their full objectives in Iraq. Surprisingly enough, the Kanna/Soro alliance failed to achieve the Vatican s objective to neutralize the last remaining Assyrians and to make them forget about their indigenous national identity and religion, and to melt them into the Roman Catholic pot that was being cooked up by the Vatican, under the direction and careful guidance of the Power Elite. The faithful Assyrian nationalists were jolted from their deep slumber and began to strongly object this political move designed to deactivate the Assyrians of the world, who were still actively dreaming of an independent Assyria, with full national and political rights, as well as full freedom to maintain their indigenous religious rites. Coming to a full circle, we must reflect on the aftermath of the Power Elites plan to eliminate the Assyrians, whom stand in their way of achieving their objectives in the Assyrian homeland, and maintaining their power and control over human and geopolitical destiny of the Middle East, the last bastion of freedom from globalization by the Power Elite.

5 After spending trillions, and two decades trying to control the Assyrian homeland, the Power Elite s plan back-fired, but no one can say it was due to their lack of trying. On the contrary, they spent exorbitant amounts of money, military might, and weapons of mass-destruction, devising clever schemes, even going so far as to use Assyria s most powerful sons, both in the Assyrian church as well as the Assyrian national movement, knowing most Assyrians are far removed from their national identity and their national cause, having become generals and captains of the Salvation Army, abandoning the ancient Assyrian sword by which to defend themselves and their country, and picking up a cross to bring salvation to the world. The Power Elite did not count on the powerful Assyrian spirit which is guided by God Ashur, hence making it impossible to extinguish by clever political schemes, puppet regimes, multinational corporations, rogue bishops, and sell-out political figures. The Assyrian human spirit was awakened by God Ashur, who saw to it that his Muslim and Christian Assyrian sons and daughters must be urged to fight to rid the land of Ashur of robbers, looters, rapists, and murderers crusading from far-away foreign lands. It was the almighty God Ashur who intervened and devised an army of insurgents, homegrown in Assyria, and suckled by the fertile land of Ashur, equipped only with the crudest home-made weapons, by which to defend Assyria and crush the military might of the Power Elite who planned to prostitute the land of Ashur for an eternal bank account by which to sustain their permanence. With the Power Elite s plans all but failing, the Pope, in his last ditch effort, and commanded by Bush, the Power Elite puppet, is desperately attempting to intervene on their behalf, by once again endeavoring to strike a deal with the Assyrians to forget about their Assyrianism, and to give up Assyria, in exchange for their full initiation into one of the most powerful salvation army in the universe. He has once more invited the Assyrian Patriarch, HH Mar Dinkha for talks on the possibility of reaching full communion with the Vatican, to exchange the Assyrian homeland for Christian protection. Meanwhile, the Vatican has directed Yonadam Kanna, the failed Vatican operative to distance himself from the Assyrian community, their national and ethnic rights, by announcing that it is WRONG for the Assyrians to use their RELIGION to obtain an Assyrian province in their OWN HOMELAND. Which Assyrian has asked to obtain an Assyrian province by using their religion? The only Assyrian who has taken the Assyrian nation and transformed it into three ecclesiastical Christian denominations and through this devise has earned himself a Christian chair in Iraq, thus making us a target for every extremist Muslim, is Yonadam Kanna! No Assyrian wants to be labeled for his religious beliefs, melting them into the Christian kingdom, where national rights are UNATTAINABLE. It is Yonadam Kanna, the faithful Vatican servant who has failed to unify the Assyrian nation by his divisive religious and political schemes, his double talk, babbling in his confused Manchurian state of mind, under the hypnotic influence of the Vatican, denying our rights to fully participate in Iraq s political dichotomy, detouring our national cause for full attainment of his Vatican crowned Christian glory. Many Assyrians criticize Kanna for having failed to unify the Assyrian nation, and to obtain our national rights in our own homeland. They are all wrong!!!! Kanna did not fail his mission. On the contrary, he outsmarted all the Assyrian nationalists, the ACOE, and every single Assyrian

6 political party, hijacking his own party, the ADM, and selling the Assyrian national cause, and breaking-up the ACOE, and decimating all of Assyria, for A FIST FULL OF DOALLRS. What was the promise made to Kanna in return? The PRESIDENCY of the NEW Iraq, which is why he has been campaigning on a new platform of UNIFYING IRAQ, the monumental task that NO ONE has EVER achieved in Iraq, not even before Saddam regime and afterwards, but Kanna, the Qatena Gabbara that he is, will achieve it FOR SURE!!! That s why every time a proposal comes through by an authoritative group of legislation, whereby an Assyrian autonomous region, an Assyrian safe-zone, or province to which all Assyrians can be repatriated, is discussed and nearly funded, Kanna rears his ugly head to announce that Assyrians have no national rights in their own homeland, they do not need a safe-zone, nor an Assyrian province of their own, (similar to what his beloved Kurdish masters have) and stops it dead in its track! His directive, the Vatican has similarly reared its ugly head to extinguish any Assyrian desires to remain one nation, under GOD, indivisible, with liberty and justice for ALL, that is why the Pope has been campaigning very hard since his appointment, and has succeeded to prevent ANY nation, (Christian or otherwise) from advocating for the Assyrians and helping them to resolve their unprecedented crisis, of being sandwiched between the Christian crusade against the Islamic defendants of Assyria. If ACOE resumes their dialogue with the Vatican, and continues to educate their future priests and bishops at the Vatican, it better be prepared to sacrifice the ENTIRE Assyrian nation for a Christian Sea in Arbil and a Christian seat at the Vatican. That is the ONLY deal the Power Elite can make with the ACOE to achieve their objectives. This is not a game of which church can persuade the other to achieve Christian unity. No sir! This is a fight to the finish, of what Assyria will become: A secular nation where all religious and ethnic rights can be fully realized, (the way it used to be) before the Power Elite attacked and demolished Assyria, or the legitimization of a New World order from which all the roads lead out of Assyria to fulfill the Power Elite s will!!! Assyria was the first frontier in human history, and it is the last frontier in human destiny, which is why it is so important to the Power Elite to have it, and to make it whatever they need to serve their purpose, in their attempt to re-write world history, and set the stage for their New World Order, where all of humanity is their subjects and nations work to sustain their eternal power, like the Anunaki whom they claim to descend from. Perhaps that s why the European Royals claim theirs is the ROYAL blood of the Anunaki, which automatically entitles them to crowns of governments. Who has more right in the world to claim their blood is of the royal blood of Anunaki, if not the Assyrians? Yet here are the sons and daughters of the Power Elite claiming their royal birth-right by which to survive and rule the world, while the Assyrians become the most destitute people in the world, refugees in their own homeland, starving and on the brink of extinction. Our royal treasures looted to enrich the Power Elite. Our natural resources robbed to enrich their pockets. If this was a game we would all had the chance to play musical chairs and win a crown or two, but as you can see, history is made by the way in which a people fight to hold on to their country, their national identity, their titles, and deeds, and yes even crowns!

7 Assyria is the land of Ashur, (illumination) who inspired the people to build the earth and civilize it, giving it language, culture, and religion by which to serve and preserve the earthly paradise into which man is born, ensuring the eternal sustenance of the Garden of Eden from which all Mankind is delivered to earth and sustained to its full potential.. Ashur delivered Mankind to earth, but the Power elite wants us to believe that God wants to deliver us to heaven, so it has created dogmas by which to opiate us and keep us in the dark, while stealing the light of Ashur for their own selfish glory. Perhaps that s why they call themselves the Illuminati. It was an Assyrian who wrote the first Torah, an Assyrian who wrote the first Hindu Veda, it was an Assyrian who wrote the New Testament, and an Assyrian who wrote the Koran for Muhammad.. It is therefore, the duty of every human being on earth to fight for Assyria s preservation and deliverance from the Power Elite. Not only must Assyria be saved to preserve humanity s heritage, but to safe-guard it for humanity s future. Mr. Pope, Mr. Bush, Mr. King and Queen, Mr. Barazani, Mr. Kanna, ASSYRIA IS NOT FOR SALE!!!!
