Today I found another interesting source for esoteric information that I accept more for it's interesting idea content than as a source for absolute truth, "YAHOO Answers." The answer about the Illuminati whom I have spent considerable time investigating captured alot of information succinctly and provided links for more in-depth information.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061121213921AA1hQmu

"Who or What Exactly is the Illuminatti? ... ," question by Enigma

Answer by Joe Pardy:

"Some of the organizational and political elements of the Illuminati include: Majesty Twelve, Order of the Quest, The Bilderberg Group, The Trilateral Commission, The Executive Committee of The Council on Foreign Relations, The PI-40 Committee, The Jason Group, The Club of Rome, The Group, The Royal Institute of International Affairs, The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations, The Round Table, The Committee of 300, The Anti Defamation League (ADL), The Aspen Institute, The American Civil Liberties Union, The British Royal Society, The Fabian Society, The Thule Society, The Union of Concerned Scientists, The International Red Cross, Kissinger Associates, The Brookings Institute, The Hudson Institute, The Ford Foundation, The Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundations, Order of St John of Jerusalem, The Russell Sage Foundation, The Milner Group, British Petroleum, The Open Friendly Secret Society, The Rosicrucians, The Brotherhood of the Dragon (or Snake), The Russell Trust, The Black Nobility families of Europe, Order of Skull & Bones, The Scroll & Key Society, The Knights of Malta, the Illuminati arm of The Freemasons, The Scottish Rites of Freemasons, and many, many other groups. In general, only the upper elites at the top of these pyramid structures are the NWO decision makers and not the lower echelon functionaries and managers who are usually in the dark about the true aims of their organizations."

"Recent revelations from deprogrammed Illuminati mind controlled individuals such as Arizona Wilder (The Biggest Secret), Cisco Wheeler (The Top 13 Bloodlines of the Illuminati), Cathy O'Brien (Trance Formation in America), and Bryce Taylor (Thanks for the Memories) leave NO DOUBT that the upper levels of the Illuminati are all practicing Satanists who regularly participate in satanic rituals which include the killing of young children, the drinking of human blood and the eating of human flesh and organs."

http://100777.com/node/20

"The Illuminati is a group that practices a form of faith known as 'enlightenment'. It is Luciferian, and they teach their followers that their roots go back to the ancient mystery religions of Babylon, Egypt, and Celtic druidism. They have taken what they consider the 'best' of each, the foundational practices, and joined them together into a strong occult discipline."

"At the national level, they are extremely wealthy people who finance goals and interact with the leaders of other countries. The Illuminati are international. Secret? By all means."

http://www.savethemales.ca/141002.html...

What Are Their Objectives?

"The ILLUMINATI GOALS include:

1. To establish a One World Government / New World Order

2. Destroy national identity and national pride

3. Destroy other religions

4. Control people through mind control

5. Bring an end to industrialization

6. Depopulate large cities through genocide

7. Suppress scientific development

8. Kill 3 billion people by 2050 using war

9. Demoralize workers by creating mass unemployment

10. Manage crises after creating them

11. Collapse the world's governments

12. Cause political chaos

13. Control foreign and domestic polices

14. Phase out governments while empowering the U.N.

15. Penetrate and subvert all governments to destroy their integrity

16. Organize world wide terrorist

17. Control and destroy the education system

I heard on the radio a report about a NeoCon conservative insider supporter who in a personal conversation with the talk show host said, "We all want clean water, clean air and a good standard of living. Where we disagree is on how to go about it."

DIPLOMACY
Queen Confirms State Visit in May
Virginia, Kentucky Downs and White House on Agenda

By Fredrick Kunkle
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, March 22, 2007; Page B03

The Running of the Roses, a fancy dinner at the White House and a nod to Virginia as the home of the first permanent English colony in the New World are all on the ticket for Queen Elizabeth II's first state visit to the United States in 16years, Buckingham Palace said yesterday.

But her royal highness will not be sticking around for the grand, three-day party that Virginia is throwing in May to mark the 400th anniversary of Jamestown's founding.

Queen Elizabeth II will visit former colonies for first time in 16 years.

In its long-awaited announcement, the palace said yesterday that the queen and her husband -- Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh -- will visit Virginia May 3-4 and make a trip to Churchill Downs to see the 133rd Kentucky Derby on May 5. Then the royal couple will head back to the nation's capital on May 6-8 for a visit and state dinner hosted by President Bush and the first lady.

Government officials in both countries were keeping further details about the monarch's visit under wraps, citing security precautions.

Virginians, from the governor on down, were not even saying whether they were a little disappointed that she will miss the anniversary party marking the date that settlers landed on the shore of the James River in 1607.

Several said that, if anything, the queen's visit will help whip up excitement for "America's Anniversary Weekend" in Jamestown May 11-13.

Gov. Timothy M. Kaine called the monarch's planned howdy-do "extraordinary."

"This Royal visit speaks to the importance of Jamestown to both of our countries, reaffirms the strong, historic ties between our nations and demonstrates a mutual commitment to reinforce these connections as we go forward together," Kaine said in a statement. He promised her majesty a helping of "true southern hospitality" and said the visit will shower the state with international attention.

The queen had announced the trip in a speech to Parliament in November, saying only that she would visit in May, and rumors had been flying for weeks that she would not time her visit for the three-day festival.

"What I think it will do is expand the anniversary weekend," said Sandy Rives, Virginia director of the National Park Service and Jamestown 400 project director. "I'm certainly not disappointed."

Elizabeth S. Kostelny, executive director of the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, which manages Historic Jamestowne, the actual site where colonists settled, noted that the queen's last visit to Jamestown, during the 350th anniversary, occurred in October 1957.

"I think it's very exciting," she said. "From the point of view of Historic Jamestowne, this is all great."

Prince Charles' visit to San Francisco November 8, 2005 included a visit to a homeless shelter under a new homeless shelter concept being tried in San Francisco, an organic farming project at a public school in Berkeley, organic farms in Marin, a dinner at the De Young Museum of Art in San Francisco and talk of the global need to address global warming.

Visit fit for a Prince
Prince Charles, Camilla to stop at Marin farms on upcoming U.S. tour
By GEORGE LAUER
THE PRESS DEMOCRAT

The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall will visit Marin County on Saturday to shop at the Point Reyes Farmers Market and have lunch at an organic farm in West Marin.

Part of a larger tour of the United States that includes stops in Washington, New York and San Francisco, the royal visit of Prince Charles and his new bride, Camilla, focuses a world spotlight on efforts in Marin to sustain organic farming.

After touring the market in Point Reyes Station, Prince Charles and Camilla plan to stop for lunch at Warren Weber's Star Route Farm in Bolinas and then visit other organic farms.

How the royal itinerary came to include the tiny town of Point Reyes Station and farms off the beaten path in Marin has its roots in a new calendar, a conference in Italy a year ago and Prince Charles' long-abiding interest in small-scale agriculture and organic farming.

A photo of Weber, the dean of West Marin vegetable farmers, is on the cover of a 2006 calendar published by Marin Organic, an association of organic producers working to make Marin the country's first all-organic county.

"The calendar isn't the reason Prince Charles and Camilla are coming here,'' said Helge Hellberg, executive director of Marin Organic.

"But the answer to why they're coming here is in the calendar.''

Hellberg thinks the idea for Prince Charles' visit may have been spawned a year ago at the Terra Madre conference in Turin, Italy.

"It was the first international meeting of food producers devoted to sustainable, organic methods and Prince Charles gave the keynote address,'' Hellberg said.

He and other Marin Organic representatives were there, promoting the idea of Marin becoming an all-organic county.

Embassies contacted embassies and lots of phone calls back and forth in the ensuing months lead to this week's visit, Hellberg said.

"When the royals come, the world pays attention,'' he said Saturday. "It's just amazing. I've been on the phone to media representatives from all over the world the past two days. Our Web site normally gets maybe 600 hits a day. Today, so far, we have more than 16,000.''

Other Bay Area stops on the royal tour include dinner at the de Young Museum, a visit to Alice Waters' Edible Schoolyard in Berkeley and a performance of "Beach Blanket Babylon.''

They're also scheduled to meet with people being helped by the homelessness project at the Empress Hotel in San Francisco.

Before heading west, Charles and Camilla will visit New York City to decide where they will dedicate a memorial garden for the British victims of Sept. 11, 2001. They also will visit with United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan and tour the Museum of Modern Art.

In Washington, they'll have lunch and dinner at the White House. Charles will also receive an award for contributing to the public understanding of architecture and community planning, and Camilla will visit the National Institutes of Health to discuss osteoporosis, one of her personal causes.

[Jane of Arc]

Hi Jennifer~

I must be dense! DOH! :eek: I don't follow what you're trying to say here about the Illuminati. Could you explain further, please? Thanks! :)

[Jennifer_SFBA]

Hi, Jane. No, you were not being at all dumb. The following substantive, substantial and documented information is what you were missing. I'm collecting pieces of a puzzle's so, it's slow, and your very good mind was ahead of my posting, knowing there is more to the story, but what?

A major point is that politicos KNOW the electorate is irrelevant because most of the electorate has not the least clue what is really going on. Therefore, how can We, the people possibly participate? in their view. How can We, the people participate when We, the people are not informed by the press and told the truth by our politicians?

The information about the visits to the United States, first by the royal Prince, now by the royal Queen and royal Duke of England to the reining royal bloodline "king" of the US, Bush, comes at a time when popular political will in the US is turning against ALL war in the Middle East. Details of those ME war preparations were finalized by Bush, Blair and then conservative party president of Spain, Jose Maria Aznar held at their Azores summit. The Azores are a chain of islands located off the coast of Portugal. But wait, there were other high level politicians at that meeting. The relatively unknown Prime Minister of Portugal, Durao Barrossa was there and was the host of the Summit. Barrossa's policies have seriously undermined Portugal's economy. So, who is Barrossa? A Bilderberg invitee and attendee. Friend of the Carlyle Group. President of the European Commission. The Bilderbergers held a formal meeting in Sintra, Portugal in 1999. Barrossa was conspicuously not at that meeting, though he did attend the Bilderberg meetings held in 1994 where he is listed as being "Minister of Foreign Affairs" attending with George Soros, Henry Kissinger and Paul Wolfowitz; May 30 - June 2, 2002 in Chantilly, Virginia near Washington DC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_the_European_Commission and 2003 http://www.bilderberg.org/2003.htm http://www.prisonplanet.com/archive_bilderberg.html . (Remember, the Iraq War began March 20, 2003) . Barrossa was working to broker a deal for the Carlyle Group to acquire a large interest in Portugal's Galp Energia, http://www.gasandoil.com/goc/company/cne42236.htm .

A side note is that the Mayor of Lisbon, Pedro Santana Lopez was given the nod to replace Barrossa by Barrossa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedro_Santana_Lopes .

Circumstantial evidence suggests Bilderberg really do have a magic wand. Take a look at the list of important career moves for the following democratic appointments:

1. Bill Clinton - Head of State - USA
Attends Bilderberg meeting, Germany, 1991 - gets Presidential Nomination Aug 1992
2. Tony Blair - effective Head of State - UK
Attends Bilderberg meeting, Greece, 1993 - becomes party leader Jul 1994 - becomes Prime Minister May 1997
3. Jack Santer - previous Head of State (sacked for corruption) - Europe
Attends Bilderberg, Germany, 1991 - becomes European President Jan 1995
4. Romano Prodi - present Head of State - Europe
On Bilderberg Steering Committee mid 1980's, attends Bilderberg meeting, Portugal, Jun 1999 - sworn in as President of Europe Sep 1999 (term lasts until Jan 2005)
5. George Robertson - CEO - NATO
Attends Bilderberg meeting, Scotland, 1998 - sworn in as Secretary General of NATO Aug 1999

There are the reptillian bloodlines, there is ritual that the illuminati practice that includes celestial alignments and above we see that politics in America is way more involved than most Americans are aware and has been for a very long time. We're just beginning to wake up to where we are, where we're headed and how things work.

Jane and everyone, getting all this down is a huge job. Please help by adding to this thread.

Today I found the articles below of the "Queen's" Whitehouse reception and comments by Bush suggesting the "Queen" is over 230 years old - reptillian (David Icke's work and the Christian Bible, Genesis Chapter 6):

The President Learns It's Good to Be the King

By Dana Milbank
Tuesday, May 8, 2007; Page A02

With etiquette handbooks at the ready, the White House was in a high state of faux pas alert for Queen Elizabeth II's visit yesterday. Still, President Bush lasted only about 14 minutes into the state arrival ceremony before implying that the British monarch is 300 years old.

"You've dined with 10 U.S. presidents," Bush said on the South Lawn with the 81-year-old sovereign at his side. "You helped our nation celebrate its bicentennial in seventeen s --" -- here the president caught himself -- "in nineteen seventy-six."

What's a couple of centuries between friends? (By Linda Davidson -- The Washington Post)

From members of Congress to diplomats to quarterbacks, the White House welcomed guests for President Bush's first-ever white-tie state dinner to honor Britain's Queen Elizabeth II.

Washington Sketch

A national political reporter for the Post, Milbank writes Washington Sketch, an observational column about political theater in the White House, Congress and elsewhere in the capital. He covered the 2000 and 2004 presidential campaigns and President Bush's first term. Before coming to the Post as a Style political writer in 2000, he covered the Clinton White House for the New Republic and Congress for the Wall Street Journal.

Capitol Hill Blue | Because nobody's life, liberty or property are safe while Congress is in session

The crowd laughed. Bush looked at Her Majesty -- and winked. Elizabeth smiled politely and said something that sounded like "some year," or "you're near" or even "oh, dear."

"She gave me a look that only a mother could give a child," a quick-thinking Bush reported back to the assembly.

At least he didn't credit her with signing the Magna Carta.

In the days before yesterday's state visit, the talk was all about how the regular-guy president disliked all the pomp that comes with a royal function. Don't believe it. As they say in Texas: Balderdash and poppycock.

True, the state dinner last night forced Bush to stay up beyond his bedtime, and wearing tails is a hassle for pretty much every man who doesn't sing with the Whiffenpoofs. Also, such events bring bad memories: At a similar pageant last year, the Chinese president was heckled by a Falun Gong protester and the White House announcer confused China and Taiwan.

But the president seemed to be enjoying himself mightily yesterday. After Bush and the first lady took an impromptu walk with the queen and Prince Philip across Pennsylvania Avenue to Blair House, White House pool reporter Tara Copp of the Austin American-Statesman reported that "the president was in as sunny a mood as the sky above."

And why shouldn't he be sunny? The queen would not bicker with him about the Baghdad security plan, and there would be no prickly news conference in which he would be asked about the Newsweek poll putting his support at 28 percent, equal to Jimmy Carter's in 1979. Yesterday gave Bush a chance to put aside the messiness of being head of government and enjoy the trappings of being head of state: cannons on the Ellipse, an Army fife-and-drum corps, a troop review and red geraniums on the South Portico.

The profusion of pageantry evidently overwhelmed "Good Morning America" anchor Robin Roberts, who, having secured an invitation to the state dinner, began the day with a breathless interview from the White House with Laura Bush.

"The excitement continues to build," Roberts reported. "The White House is taking on an air of royalty this morning. . . . And I'm telling you, what a delight."

"A very happy occasion," the first lady agreed.

The President Learns It's Good to Be the King

Roberts followed up aggressively: "I mean, truly, everyone is buzzing around here."

"That's right, they are," the first lady confessed.

Washington Sketch

A national political reporter for the Post, Milbank writes Washington Sketch, an observational column about political theater in the White House, Congress and elsewhere in the capital. He covered the 2000 and 2004 presidential campaigns and President Bush's first term. Before coming to the Post as a Style political writer in 2000, he covered the Clinton White House for the New Republic and Congress for the Wall Street Journal.

The two briefly discussed Bush's 28 percent standing and the Virginia Tech shootings, before turning back to the president's consent to a white-tie dress code ("He was a very good sport") and the pea soup for dinner ("You'll really like it, Robin").

"Oh, I can't wait," the questioner responded. "And the lamb, always a favorite."

"We're doing a fish course, too."

The president couldn't help injecting a bit of his political agenda into the royal visit. "We're resisting those who murder the innocent to advance a hateful ideology, whether they kill in New York or London, or Kabul or Baghdad," he read with the queen at his side.

That met with a dissonant answer from Queen Elizabeth, who read: "A state visit provides us with a brief opportunity to step back from our current preoccupations to reflect on the very essence of our relationship."

But enough with the heavy stuff. Tony Snow, the president's press secretary, announced at his briefing that he would take no questions about the queen's conversation with Bush. "We're going to allow them to go ahead and have very pleasant conversations," he said. "It's a pretty cool day, you know?"

In lieu of news, the White House sent out a flurry of press releases about the state dinner: a guest list (Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning!) at 4:03 p.m.; a dinner menu (Dover sole amandine!) at 4:07 p.m.; and the East Room entertainment (Itzhak Perlman!) at 4:08 p.m.

Some of the royal visit's pleasures were inaccessible to the president; he would not, for example, taste the dinner red wine, the $200-per-bottle Peter Michael 2003 Les Pavots, with its "notes of melted licorice." But there was much to raise the president's spirits, including the silver dish the queen gave him with the royal cypher, the presidential seal and a Texas lone star. The magnanimous president even brought out the Clinton china for dinner.

The informal Bush enjoyed the formality so much that he even took time out to torment an underdressed photographer. After his walk with the queen after lunch, Bush got the photographer, Newsweek's Charles Ommanney, to agree that it was "a special day" at the White House. "Then why," the president asked, "didn't you wear something other than hand-me-down clothes?"

Queen Tours Goddard Space Flight Center

WASHINGTON, May 08, 2007 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- Queen Elizabeth II heard three astronauts describe their work aboard the international space station Tuesday as she neared the end of a whirlwind, six-day U.S. tour.

The crew members - American Suni Williams and two Russians, Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin and Flight Engineer Oleg Kotov - answered questions from British-born NASA astronaut C. Michael Foale, who stood next to the queen. The video link at the Goddard Space Flight Center was one-way, so the crew members could not see the queen standing by silently wearing a large yellow hat.

After hearing from the astronauts, the British royal continued a tour of Goddard, in suburban Greenbelt, Md. She helped plant a tree in a garden outside the flight center commemorating her visit. The flight center is home to the largest organization of scientists and engineers in the United States, according to NASA.

Later in the day, the queen is expected to pay tribute to American soldiers with a trip to the National World War II memorial before capping her visit by hosting a dinner for President Bush and his wife, Laura, at the British Embassy. It was a return favor for the white-tie state dinner Bush put on for the royal couple Monday night at the White House.

The queen, accompanied by her husband Prince Philip, had a full day of sightseeing in the U.S. capital planned for Tuesday, including a stop at the Children's National Medical Center with the first lady

It was to be the British Monarch's first visit to the war memorial, which was dedicated in 2004. The queen, a teenage princess during World War II, won permission in 1945 from her father, King George VI, to join the war effort as a driver in the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service, the women's branch of the British Army. She became known as No. 230873 Second Subaltern Elizabeth Windsor.

The royal couple will fly back to England Tuesday night.

On Monday morning, the Bushes waited on a near-perfect spring day as the queen and Prince Philip arrived by limousine for their official welcome at the White House. The two couples briefly shook hands before moving on to the formal welcome, which included trumpet fanfares and a 21-gun salute.

The day ended with a second visit to the White House for the administration's first white-tie state dinner. It was designed to showcase American culture and cuisine. But the hosts did not forget to include special touches designed to honor its British ally and make the queen feel welcome.

The centuries-old vermeil flatware and candelabras came from a London silversmith. A made-of-sugar replica of the queen's 1953 coronation rose graced the cake.

English farmhouse cheeses accompanied the salad course. And the traditional "special guest" invited only at the last minute was sure to be of interest to a horse enthusiast such as the queen: Calvin Borel, the jockey who rode Street Sense to victory in the Kentucky Derby on Saturday with the royals in attendance.

For the sixth state dinner of Bush's presidency, the State Dining Room was decked out in white and gold. Among the 134 guests were scores of diplomats, business men and women and members of Congress. Other than American football star Peyton Manning and golfer Arnold Palmer, the celebrity quotient was low.

In the leaders' toasts at dinner, they took opposite tacks. Bush praised the queen for a reign that has "deepened our friendship and strengthened our alliance," while the British monarch talked of the threat of terror, problems like climate change and the likelihood of occasional disagreement between allies.

"Ours is a partnership always to be reckoned with in the defense of freedom and the spread of prosperity," she said.

Virtuoso violinist Itzhak Perlman performed what he called "musical bonbons" as an after-dinner treat. The evening was capped with songs from the U.S. Army Chorus.

It was a day of high pomp and pageantry from a president known for his informality. It also was an uplifting event for a White House at a time when Bush's approval rating has dropped near all-time lows and he battles a Democratic Congress over funding for the unpopular Iraq war.

The queen's visit is her fifth to the United States in 50 years and her first since 1991.

Dinner for the Queen Has British Touches

By JENNIFER LOVEN
The Associated Press
Tuesday, May 8, 2007; 2:31 AM

WASHINGTON -- Washington turned out adoring schoolchildren and ladies in hats for Queen Elizabeth II's visit. The White House, too, laid on special touches at President Bush's first-ever white-tie state dinner to honor America's closest ally and make the queen feel welcome.

The centuries-old vermeil flatware and candelabras came from a London silversmith. A made-of-sugar replica of the queen's 1953 coronation rose graced the cake. English farmhouse cheeses accompanied the salad course.

And the traditional "special guest" invited only at the last minute was sure to be of interest to an avid horse enthusiast such as the queen: Calvin Borel, the jockey who rode Street Sense to victory in the Kentucky Derby this weekend with the royals in attendance.

"It's just like winning the Kentucky Derby _ it might even be better," Borel said as he arrived for the dinner.

On the other hand, there was the president suggesting Queen Elizabeth was over 230 years old.

The president's slip of the tongue during morning welcoming speeches was inadvertent, of course, and quickly smoothed over with humor. But it wasn't exactly the flawless effort Bush had hoped would erase memories of the "talking hat" episode during the queen's last U.S. visit. (In 1991, during Bush's father's administration, a too-tall lectern left the audience able to see only the queen's hat behind microphones.)

The queen, a sprightly 81, gave an embarrassed Bush a gracious nod after he suggested she had celebrated the United States' founding in 1776. He meant to say she had attended 1976 bicentennial festivities.

"She gave me a look that only a mother could give a child," the president quipped, earning a reserved chuckle from his guest.

Laura Bush made her own minor calendar mistake. She flubbed the year that she and her husband attended the state dinner hosted by President George H.W. Bush in honor of the queen, saying it was in 1993.

The president and the queen took markedly different approaches to their formal remarks during a South Lawn arrival ceremony attended by thousands.

Bush focused on the partnership between the United States and Britain in Iraq and against terrorism. In just four minutes, he mentioned "freedom" and "liberty" seven times. "Your majesty, I appreciate your leadership during these times of danger and decision," he said.

By contrast, the queen said her fifth journey to the United States over 50 years was an occasion to "step back from our current preoccupations."

Dinner for the Queen Has British Touches

In the leaders' toasts at dinner, they took opposite tacks. Bush praised her for a reign that has "deepened our friendship and strengthened our alliance," while the British monarch talked of the threat of terror, problems like climate change and the likelihood of occasional disagreement between allies.

"Ours is a partnership always to be reckoned with in the defense of freedom and the spread of prosperity," she said.

Earlier gaffes aside, the day had the White House at its freshly painted best and inspired excitement inside and outside its gates.

Under lampposts adorned with the two countries' flags, throngs hoping for a rare glimpse of royalty lined Pennsylvania Avenue for much of the day. Hats of all shapes bobbed down downtown streets in unusually high numbers.

Mrs. Bush insisted at midday that the president was enthusiastic about wearing white tie and tails _ though admittedly after being persuaded by his wife and secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, to elevate the dinner to that exalted level in the first place.

"We thought if we ever were going to have a white-tie dinner, this was going to be it," Mrs. Bush said.

Presidential spokesman Tony Snow disputed any notion that the royal visit was a welcome break for a White House burdened by low approval ratings and acrimonious tussles with congressional Democrats over the Iraq war.

"There's a lot of other activity going on," he said tersely.

The queen and her husband, Prince Philip, were treated to a trumpet fanfare, a 21-gun salute and a parade by the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps at a morning arrival ceremony attended by thousands of guests. From there, the Bushes and the royals repaired to a very exclusive lunch, with only the two countries' ambassadors and a few family members.

The leaders and their spouses then mingled briefly on the street with dozens of British and American schoolchildren. Bush, in the unusual position of playing second fiddle, followed while the queen accepted bouquets of flowers and signed autographs.

Surrounded by a full honor cordon, the first couple greeted the royals on the North Portico for the fifth state dinner of the Bush presidency. Mrs. Bush helped the queen from her car, and advance coordination kept the ladies' attire from clashing.

Mrs. Bush wore an aqua creation by Oscar de la Renta with rhinestones, silver beading and a bolero jacket, while the queen had a cream gown with a sparkling bodice, a blue sash, long white gloves and a diamond tiara.

Among the 134 guests in the State Dining Room decked out in white and gold were scores of diplomats, businessmen and members of Congress. Other than Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning and golfer Arnold Palmer, the celebrity quotient was low.

A number of top Bush fundraisers made the cut. Some were so-called Rangers, who raised over $200,000 for Bush's 2004 re-election campaign, including automotive executive James Click, investor Brad Freeman and former Enron president Richard Kinder. Former Commerce Secretary Donald Evans, who ran Bush's campaign fundraising in 2000, was also in attendance.

The menu and entertainment were designed as a showcase of America's best: spring pea soup with U.S. caviar, Dover sole almondine, spring lamb with chanterelle sauce and local vegetables and an arugula, mustard greens and romaine salad, said executive chef Cristeta Comerford.

Virtuoso Itzhak Perlman was playing violin after the meal.

But after all the excitement and hundreds of hours of preparation, Mrs. Bush suggested that this white-tie affair could not only be their first _ but last. She called the dinner, somewhat wistfully, "the most elegant and most formal that we'll host."

Queen Elizabeth Arrives at Andrews

By Paul Duggan
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, May 7, 2007; Page B01

Queen Elizabeth II, who spent the weekend in Kentucky, received a low-key welcome to the Washington area last night as she arrived at Andrews Air Force Base on the final leg of her six-day visit to the United States.

Illuminated by the last rays of a setting sun, the 81-year-old British monarch, in aqua-colored outfit and matching hat, stepped through the doorway of a British Airways Boeing 777 and walked down a staircase to be greeted by the base commander, Col. Paul R. Ackerley, and his wife, Diana.

Britain's Queen Elizabeth II is visiting Virginia to mark the 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown. Her Majesty returns to the United States after 16 years.

Crown Jewels
A daily nugget for royal watchers:

Queen Elizabeth II, who inherited the crown in 1952 only because she had no brothers, agreed in 1998 to end the tradition in which a monarch's oldest son was first in line to assume the throne. "There can be no real reason for not giving equal treatment to men and women in this respect," said a House of Lords member, announcing the queen's sentiments. The oldest offspring -- daughter or son -- will now succeed.

The Queen Visits the College of William and Mary

"I just said it was an honor to meet her," Diana Ackerley said later, describing the brief exchange she and her husband had on the tarmac with the monarch.

An official arrival ceremony is scheduled for this morning on the South Lawn of the White House, where President Bush will greet the queen and her husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. They are to attend an afternoon garden party at the British ambassador's residence in Washington, then a state dinner in their honor at the White House.

After being welcomed to Andrews, Diana Ackerley said, the queen asked about the base and how long the Ackerleys had been there. The colonel took over the command in June.

Diana Ackerley, who has twice met President Bush and first lady Laura Bush, said she was not nervous meeting the queen. She said she mentioned to the queen "how it was such a beautiful night" for her ride from Andrews into Washington.

In addition to the Ackerleys, the welcoming party at the foot of the stairs included eight other Air Force officers and enlisted men and women and Raymond P. Martinez, the State Department's acting protocol chief. Behind a fence 50 yards away, about 100 people -- military personnel and Defense Department employees and their families -- cheered and waved British flags.

Within a few minutes, the white-gloved queen got into a Cadillac limousine, and her 85-year-old husband walked around the vehicle to take his seat.

Then, led by a squadron of police on motorcycles, the royal motorcade set out over the roads of Prince George's County and into Washington for the closing days of the queen's first visit to the United States since 1991.

Tomorrow, the queen and duke are scheduled to visit NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Children's Hospital in Washington and the National World War II Memorial on the Mall before departing for Britain late in the day.

The couple, who began their visit in Richmond on Thursday, traveled to Virginia to help commemorate the 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown, the first permanent English colony in the New World.

Churchill Downs Hosts British Royalty

LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 06, 2007 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- For a few exciting moments, Queen Elizabeth II was just like every other racing fan Saturday at Churchill Downs - watching the horses running in the 133rd Kentucky Derby.

The queen, an avid horse enthusiast, got her first look Saturday at Churchill Downs, a racing icon best known for its twin spires and hospitality on Derby Day when mint juleps flow and fancy hats are in fashion.

The queen and her husband, Prince Philip, arrived a little more than two hours before the Derby, the first leg of thoroughbred racing's Triple Crown. They went immediately to a private suite where the queen had a finish-line vantage point on a balcony to watch Street Sense pull away with the win.

The British monarch, on a six-day trip to the United States, was among 156,635 fans on hand, the third-largest crowd in Derby history.

"She took extremely close interest in the horses," but didn't place any bets, a Buckingham Palace spokesman said, on customary condition of anonymity.

The queen wore a fine wool coat of lime green, with a matching silk dress in a small floral print and a lime green hat with a ***hsia trim. She was accompanied by Will Farish, a former ambassador to Britain, as she entered the suite to a round of applause.

"It's unbelievable," said Erica Fencil, a college student from San Diego who found herself in the same suite. "I can't believe I'm in the same room with her."

Several pari-mutuel clerks were standing at their windows as the queen and her entourage arrived in the clubhouse.

One clerk, Lori Mellon, called it a thrilling event to see the queen.

"I'd really like to know what her choices are for the Derby," Mellon said. "She's an extremely savvy horsewoman. She's not new to this game."

Race fans said the queen's presence added to the event's glamour. For at least one day, they were on the same footing with royalty.

"She loves her horses, and this is the place to see beautiful horses," said Mary Vandever, a retired truck driver from Torrance, Calif., who was attending her first Derby in the Churchill Downs infield.

For fans with no chance of getting an up-close glimpse of the queen, there was an alternative. A Queen Elizabeth impersonator drew long lines in the track's paddock area.

For a distinctive Kentucky flair, she posed with a look-alike of Colonel Harland Sanders, founder of the Kentucky Fried Chicken chain.

Judith Gindy of Miami, the impersonator who refers to herself as Queen Elizabeth Too, admitted to being a great admirer.

"I'm very excited. It's my dream to meet her," Gindy said.

The Derby was the queen's only public event in Kentucky, and she left the track soon after the finish. On previous visits to the state - the last time in 1991 - she stayed at Lane's End Farm in central Kentucky, owned by Farish.

Saturday's visit wasn't the first by British royalty: Princess Margaret, the queen's sister, attended the race in 1974.

"Queen Elizabeth is certainly the most prestigious guest we've entertained in the modern-day history of the Kentucky Derby," track President Steve Sexton said.

The royal couple's visit to the track is part of a six-day trip to the United States that also includes visits to Virginia and Washington.

In Virginia, the queen addressed the Virginia General Assembly and visited the Jamestown Settlement before traveling to Kentucky. In Washington, she's scheduled to attend a state dinner with President Bush.

To prepare for the royal visit, a number of Churchill Downs workers took etiquette lessons and the lead chef planned a sumptuous meal featuring a variety of Kentucky ingredients.

For those in the infield, where the beer flows and a carefree attitude reigns, any view of the queen would be from a distance. While the Derby draws plenty of nattily attired fans, the infield crowd is more apt to be in jeans or shorts and T-shirts.

"I don't think it would be her cup of tea," race fan Betty Lyons said of the infield.

...So you're saying the queen of England is some kind of reptilian methuselah who is somehow involved with the illuminati, who are out to get us all?

[Jennifer_SFBA]

Yes, and the Bush family goes back to the German Hapsburg royal line. They're having a of head honchos lizard convention. Look at detail in the articles too. Visit to Jamestown, the founding of the New World ... What's the missing word? Goddard "Space" Flight Center ... The year of the wine that is served. Using the "Clinton China." Diplomatic meaning is involved. Eating "saddle of (lamb)." Satanism is big into reversals. World Bank happenings coinciding with "the visit."

[Jennifer_SFBA]

I will now be leaving this site in the hope that the information I have left here will be useful to people facing the travail that is upon those of us who are not of reptillian genetic liniage.

The only information I know that may be useful in any battle for life against reptillian aliens is the information presented in David Icke's interview of Zulu shaman, Credo Matwa. In it, Credo talks about a particular wood in Africa that was used in ancient times by Zulu warriers's against reptilian aliens in actual battles. Naturally occuring chemicals in that wood are said by Credo to be deadly to reptilian aliens. It is also said that amonia, including amonia in urine, is deadly, or at least, VERY unpleasant to reptilian aliens.

There is another way too, connecting psychically with higher vibrational beings/alien beings, the Christ/the Elohim, for help, assistance and protection.

As for me, I will not kill, and I will not capitulate. Rather, I put myself in the hands of the One Spirit of all life, God. That is Elohim aliens' and my true way of being as a matter of choice and as a matter of principle.

Below is a review of David Icke's video, "The Reptilian Agenda" from amazon.com:

"Amazing confirmation that a reptilian extraterrestrial race has controlled the world for thousands of years. David Icke talks with the Zulu Shaman Credo Mutwa.

In this fantastic interview, Credo Mutwa reveals the story of the reptilian takeover of Planet Earth and how a shape-shifting Reptilian race (the "Chitauri" to Africans) has controlled humanity for thousands of years and how their bloodlines are in the positions of royal, political and economic power today.

This program will re-write the UFO/ET story in a way that will blow your mind. Credo Mutwa has endured endless threats and attempts on his life, in an effort to silence him, right up to the recording of this interview. However, as Credo says, "The world must know this – and know it now."

David Icke writes: "This is the most amazing man it has ever been my honor to meet, a genius, and the importance of these videos is simply beyond words."

I, Jennifer, certainly recommend ALL of David Icke's work.
