Why astronomers can't find Nibiru/Planet X

Part of the 2012 apocalyptic predictions revolve around the work of Zecharia Sitchin and his authorship of several books proposing that the late stone age/ early bronze age civilisation of Sumeria, one of the first human agrarian societies was created and influenced by an extra-terrestrial race called the Annunaki who came to Earth from a planet called Nibiru to mine the Earth for Gold which they needed to modify their atmosphere. Sitchin based his work on a self-taught ability to translate clay tablets in the Sumerian language and his interpretation of the Sumerian religious stories and art and revealed that the planet Nibiru, whilst being a solar system planet is on a highly elliptical orbit that brings it close to Earth ever 3600 years. There have been many refutations of the work Sitchin did, in terms of his translations, his understanding of science, particularly biology, and his literal interpretation of myths. However, as with many conspiracy theories there are elements that bear closer attention.

There is a school of astrophysics, and particularly the area of space exploration that suggests that one of the ways of overcoming the difficulties of deep space travel for biological entities is to utilise a modified planet or planetoid. One of the biggest difficulties faced by astronauts is overcoming the engineering challenges of the environment of space, the vacuum, the high levels of radiation, the heat differentials and the lack of gravity. By creating a space going vessel by hollowing out a rocky solar system body several of these problems are overcome. By leaving a thick crust, protection is naturally afforded to travellers from the effects of temperature and radiation. A rocky spherical body is ideally for generating artificial gravity by centrifugal force, imparting a spin to the body. The hollowed out core will provide ample space, not only for a large crew, but also for significant payload. The physics of trajectory are also made more easily calculable given that the movement of spheres within the solar system have been understood since Gallileo and Copernicus.

So, the idea of a civilisation travelling through space using a planet is a viable theory, but modern astronomical studies have shown no evidence of a planetary body on any orbit, elliptical or otherwise that we don't already know, but does this preclude the Nibiru story? Possibly not, if we look at the research into black holes and wormholes as a means of crossing vast interstellar distances we see some of the big issues being overcoming the forces found at the event horizon. There is a possibility that by utilising a natural body it may be the case that the occupants would be protected on a journey of this nature. So, if an alien civilization was to have visited Earth in the past, and was planning on returning, why not by utilising wormhole technology, and a spaceship created by hollowing out a planet? If it comes to that, there is a theory that suggests that the moon is hollow. Where better to install a teleportation system than within a hollowed out rocky body? We could very well be in for an interesting end to 2012. Only time will tell.

The suppression of archaeological finds

There is growing evidence that the history that we are taught is not just an incomplete story, but is so radically incorrect that finds are having to be suppressed around the world. The story as it is presented is that humanity spent several hundred thousand years existing in small family groups as hunter gatherers, before beginning to settle down and begin farming approximately 10000 years ago in the regions of modern day Iraq, Iran and India, these proto-societies then spreading out around the world along trade and communication routes as populations grew and technology developed. The transition from hunter gatherer to farmer was linked to the development of metal tools, first copper and bronze then later iron. This seems at first glance to be a reasonable assessment, but that assumes that we have access to the bulk of the available evidence, and also fails to explain many anomalous discoveries, particularly in architecture and stratigraphy, or the dating of finds through their position within the soil.

Lets start with the archaeological evidence. In Egypt we find the development of monumental structures which appear to follow a sequence, the bent pyramid coming before the red pyramid, itself coming before the pyramids at Giza the pyramids themselves being a development of earlier mastaba or stepped structures, the origin for which was in the eariler civilisations of Mesopotamia particularly around the cities of Babylon an Ur. The problem with this is that there are vast missing pieces of the puzzle. The pyramids at Giza were smooth sided, covered in polished limestone and capped with gold, a tremendous development from the earlier mastaba monuments. Further, the Mesopotamian building methods are radically different to the Egyptian, utilising mud brick and coloured ceramics rather than monumental masonry. If there was a continuous evolution of building techniques one would expect to see crossover techniques. If we look at the transition between wooden construction and metal construction in bridge building in the UK there is strong evidence of this. The Iron Bridge in Telford utilises jointing techniques that exactly match previous woodworking joints, despite the fact that these are unnecessary and indeed detrimental to the overall structure. None the less they are there. In a similar vein, study of Islamic Mosques in Egypt and across the Middle East show significant crossover between the traditional wood and brick construction to building with masonry. This is particularly the case with door lintels and roof structures.

This is simply not seen in the construction of the pyramids. They are unique structures in terms of type, fabrication, size and configuration, which makes them anomalous, and therefore interesting. The story is similar with stratigraphy. Most early societies, both hunter gatherers and settled agriculturalist had a high demand for water, and tended to live near to water course. Most unmanaged water course, or rivers tend to flood on a regular basis, often seasonally, and each flood event deposits a new layer of silt across the floodplain. This presents an opportunity for archaeologists in that the sequence of inundations can be measured in much the same way that tree rings are. The problem arises when the evidence from stratigraphy is radically at odds with current thinking, as it is across much of the Middle East. At Abydos in Egypt the temple that has been uncovered was covered by over 50 metres of aluvial deposit from the flooding of the River Nile. Historically the Nile flooded twice each year, occasionally three times and the layers of deposit indicate that there were at least 42000 inundations required to cover the temple to this depth. Given that during its use the temple would be maintained and protected against inundation this suggests a date for the temple going out of use of 20000 years ago plus. To lend further credence we have the stories of the rediscovery of the Giza monuments and particularly the Sphinx in antiquity by Egyptian Pharaohs. The “Dream” inscription between the paws of the Sphinx tell how the statue had to be uncovered having been completely covered by sand and silt, again suggesting a much early construction date than history suggests.

It is my opinion that the history of civilisation, and of the early development of humanity is radically different and much older than we are told, and that there is a distinct possibility that our current civilisation dating back 10000 years is by no means the first technological civilisation humanity has created. I will come on to the implications of apocalyptic destruction myths in another post, so stay tuned.

A short history of elitist occultism

From a former student of Aleister Crowley :

Within the British establishment elite there has a long been a tradition of seeking increases in power by any means. Historically we can pinpoint they way in which this manifest from a mixture of extant and hidden records. The clearest evidence in the extant form are the journals and writings of members of the court of Queen Elizabeth. Here we see a monarch following in her fathers foodsteps as a religious reformer sought Catholic relics whilst funding protestant theologians and churches, and engaging with Dr John Dee, an alchemist and magician who used angelic and demonic practices to predict the future. In France we have the introduction of Nostradamus to the royal court as an astrologer and magician, and in Spain and Italy, the core regions for Catholicism and the Inquisition we see several key texts on alchemy and witchcraft in the Stregeria tradition.

Coming more up to date one can consider the influence of Rasputin on the Russian court of Czar Nicholas. Rasputin was a mystic, healer, priest and astrologer working from earlier Prussian and Slavic sources. Even closer to the present we find the Thule Gesselschaft in German in the 1920's and '30's exerting an influence over the National Socialist party, and evidence that Adolf Hitler, a devout Catholic was actively engaged in strengthening his position through occult means alongside the collection of holy relics. In response the Churchill government in the UK engaged with occult thinkers and practising witches and druids. In the United States research through the 1950's and '60's into mind control, remote viewing and psychic phenomena was used to strengthen the position of the political elite, and in a similar way Russian and Chinese academies were established to the same end.

It is quite clear that those in power seek to remain in power by any means necessary. Part of this process has been the clandestine funding of occult and esoteric research and in the UK part of this was the funding of leaders in the field. Part of the condition of this funding is a requirement for secrecy. We see evidence of this in perhaps one of the most controversial occultists of recent history, Aleister Crowley. Crowley became known to the ruling elite of the Uk through his work with French masonic lodges and work with American embassy staff in London and France. It is interesting to note that despite Crowleys known links to French lodges he was denied access to UK lodges. Here we begin to see the effect of breaking the bonds of secrecy. Crowley, as well as being an occultist and esotericist also suffered from pathological egotism resulting in a compulsion for attention. This is not uncommon amongst occultists and has been shown to be linked with the fracturing and compartmentalising of the human mind and psyche which is a part of most occult training, particularly through the OTO (Ordo Tempi Orientalis) line.

As a consequence of Crowleys requirement need for public acclaim, and given the concurrent development of a more widespread media availability he was soon shunned by the elite as too much of a liability. This dissociation caused extreme psychological damage to Crowley and let to his emotional and mental collapse. This much is widely documented. What is less well known is that the interest in the occult and psychic phenomena far from disappearing, has increased and been further developed behind closed doors. To my knowledge, fourteen people who were students and peers of Crowley carried on his work with several European governments and have been instrumental in shaping the development of the Western World. We can see their influence in the media, advertising, economics, the decline of the Christian Church and the rise of a reliance of science. This last may seem out of place but it is all part of an overall scheme to exert a level of control and to maintain the status quo.

The core tenet of the use of occultism for political ends is to create control through fear. The role of the occult is to create an impression of invulnerability in the ruling class, essentially converting chosen leads into the Psychpomp figure of Jungian psychoanalysis. It should be noted that many of the leading thingers in psychology and particularly psychoanalysis have been, and still are, highly regarded occultists within their own circles. It should be clear that the rationalisation and understanding of occult practices is furthered by scientific development rather than being diminished as many religions are. The reason for this is that occultism relies not on any divine source but on the rejection of the divine, and engagement with the reptilian hindbrain known as the limbic system. The concept of Satanism is actually as repugnant to a true occultist as the concept of God, demonology having been simply a tool appropriate to the mediaeval era. Modern occultists use principles more common in psychology, cybernetics, genetic engineering, linguistics and physics. The term occult simply means “that which is hidden” rather than having any mystical significance. Essentially anything covered by the official secrets act is “occult” by definition.

What should be taken from this brief introduction is that the principles of occultism are alive and well, they transform over time making maximum use of humanities advancements, they make effortless use of advances in technology for their own ends and through a network of highly placed operatives and hidden cabals they are in charge. Their aim is complete control over the vast majority of the population, extreme population control and population reduction, and preparation of the planet and population for colonisation by a returning race of extra-terrestrials who were instrumental in creating humanity in the first place 25000 years ago.

This article will be expanded over the coming weeks to demonstrate the more controversial points raised.
