(Melchizedek Communique, MC062809) Black Hawk (image shown), the chief of a band of Sacs, refused to recognize a treaty between the U.S. and the united tribes of Sacs and Foxes. Early in the spring of 1832, Black Hawk, influenced by his counsels and the invitations of "the Prophet," a Winnebago chief who had a village on Rock river, some thirty miles above its mouth, came across the Mississippi into Illinois. [1]

But unfortunately for Black Hawk, a group of Illinoisans, including Abey Lincoln, hunted him down.

In his whimsical A History Of New York, Washington Irving (1783 - 1859) pinpoints the origin of the term "Yankee." Irving describes the "Yankee" as a group who left Europe and "embarked for the wilderness of America, where they might enjoy unmolested, the inestimable luxury of talking."

The native aborigines "contemplated these strange folk (the Yankee) in utter astonishment." Seeing how these Yankee were incessant talkers, the Indians "gave them the name of Yanokies, which in the Mais-Tchusaeg (or Massachusett) language signifies silent men -- a waggish appellation, since shortened into the familiar epithet of Yankees, which they retain unto the present day." [2]

Ms. Ida Tarbell chronicles, in 1830s Illinois, "a strong prejudice in the state against Yankees." The Yankee/Yanokie were characterized by "close bargains" (trickery). In Illinois, "a pioneer's prospects were blasted at the start if he acted like a Yankee." [3]

One Illinois preacher of the 1830s expressed the anti-Yankee attitude using the colorful Illinois slang: As to God's grace and mercy, "It tuks [takes] in the isles of the sea and the uttermost part of the yeth. It embraces the Esquimaux and the Hottentots, and some, my dear brethering [bretheren], go so far as to suppose that it tuks [takes] in the poor benighted Yankees, but I don't go that fur [far]." [3] (This also is an early example of the famous Illinois humor.)

In those 1830s times (as still today), Illinois spent more money than it had. A canal-building frenzy, the "dot.com bubble" of the time, was supposed to be funded by state bonds which "would go like hot cakes and be sought for by the Rothschilds, and Baring Brothers, and others of that stump." Even Abey Lincoln, a mere state legislator at the time, along with other Illinoisans, "fell into the delusion of the day and sought to found a state on credit." [3]

But Old Abey "loved fair play." Once, during a heated political meeting, Lincoln listened in from above, through a trap door. Then, a speaker, one E.D. Baker, angered the crowd. They attempted to "pull him down." But then next was seen "a pair of long legs dangled from the trapdoor, and in an instant Lincoln dropped down beside Baker, crying out, 'Hold on, gentlemen, this is a land of free speech.'" [3]

If you can picture the sudden appearance of long legs from the sky, you can understand why the angry crowd was surprised into calm. One Illinois old-timer was heard to say, "Ha ha ha. Mark my words. That Abey Lincoln, he will go far."

(Many more funny Abey Lincoln stories can be found at your local library.)

(Melchizedek Communique, MC062509) It is "the Night of the Long Knives". It is "the Night of the Governors".

In January 2009, Melchizedek Communique noticed how "Several governors have run into trouble lately: New York's Eliot Spitzer; Illinois' Rod Blagojevich; and lately New Mexico's Bill Richardson." [1]

Also tied into the "coincidental mix" by Wayne Madsen was former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman. [1]

Lázaro Cárdenas, President of Mexico between 1934 and 1940 (image shown), between 1935 and 1936 proceeded to purge the governors of the various Mexican states. [2] With the latest seeming "governor purge" underway, that of South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, a federal plot against state's rights is intuited.

Or, alternately, the ongoing purge of governors may be merely symptomatic of various states now in financial crisis. In California, their controller stated yesterday (June 24, 2009) that he would have to issue IOUs in a week if lawmakers can't quickly solve a $24 billion budget deficit. In Illinois, a tussle between the legislators and Governor Pat Quinn is underway: Quinn wants to raise the state income tax but many legislators are vehemently opposed; meanwhile, the clock keeps ticking. Throughout the nation, several governors have rejected federal funds for fear of dependency on Washington, DC.

As Cárdenas purged state governors during the 1930s financial crisis, is President Barack Obama now part of a general movement to weaken state's rights? Obama may be inadvertantly involved, or in a more sinister interpretation the charismatic Illinois politician may be a witting part of a federal power grab.

Cárdenas, be it noted, welcomed the exiled Leon Trotsky to Mexico and also "throughout most of his Presidency Cardenas was described as having Jesus-like abilities." [3] Controversial radio host Rush Limbaugh routinely (sarcastically) refers to Barack Obama as "the Messiah."

On January 5, 2009, Wayne Madsen had alleged that the removal of the federal security clearances of New York Governor Eliot Spitzer and Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich based on scandals not backed up by indictments is "yet another indication of a runaway administration abusing unconstitutional eavesdropping authorities imposed under the National Security Agency's illegal STELLAR WIND program." Madsen perceived a Bush administration plot, but the true situation may be an overall federal encroachment on state's rights.

"The latest victim of STELLAR WIND appears to be New Mexico Democratic Governor Bill Richardson, who withdrew yesterday as Barack Obama's nominee for Secretary of Commerce," added Madsen.

But now it may be "tit for tat", with South Carolina Republican Governor Mark Sanford having been embarrassed by snooping Puritans. Or, a more ominous Night of the Governors could be unfolding.

(Melchizedek Communique, MC062409) It was about a year ago this week...

...that an Israeli police officer allegedly fatally shot himself at an airport departure ceremony for French President Nicolas Sarkozy. The French president and his wife were quickly rushed up the stairs and into their plane. Sarkozy's wife, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, rushed up the stairs ahead of her husband. [1] Within 24 hours, the family of Raid Asaad Raid Ghanan denied the Israeli guard had committed suicide. [2] The "suicide" stories were just "sanitized Western propaganda," reported Sorcha Faal. Courtesy of "secret sources", Faal revealed that "France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy ‘narrowly escaped’ an assassination attempt during his departure from Israel's Ben-Gurion airport in an attack which left one French Security Officer and one Israeli policeman dead." [3]

...that national security concerns emerged due to the food and fuel crisis. Corn, soyabean and meat prices had jumped to all-time highs, while oil prices hit a record of almost $140 a barrel. [4] The spiralling cost of living was reportedly hitting middle-class wallets harder than all other sectors of society, because of skyrocketing "nanny fees", etc. [5] In India, inflation jumped into double figures, and in China, also experiencing high inflation, demonstrators took to the streets in protest. [6]

...that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned the so-called "Federal" Reserve that it might have to raise interest rates quickly to contain inflation. The "Fed" was pondering whether to leave the prime rate at 2 per cent or to increase it. [7]

...that Associated Press Writers Alan Fram and Eileen Putman sighed about how everything seemingly is spinning out of control. "Midwestern levees are bursting. Polar bears are adrift. Gas prices are skyrocketing. Home values are abysmal. Air fares, college tuition and health care border on unaffordable. Wars without end rage in Iraq, Afghanistan and against terrorism," bemoaned Fram and Putman. [8]

...that the mayor of Gloucester, Mass., said there is no evidence a group of young girls made a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together. Gloucester High School Principal Joseph Sullivan had been quoted in Time magazine as saying several girls planned to get pregnant together. [9]

...that "global warming" voice of doom James Hansen was "warmly" welcomed in Washington, DC. Hansen reportedly foresaw that the Earth is nearing a tipping point, called for a national carbon tax, and said that CEOs of energy companies may be guilty of crimes against humanity and nature. [10]

...that an employee shot and killed four people at a plastics plant in Henderson, KY, before killing himself. [11]

...that one Gordon Wheeler Sr. reportedly walked into a county board meeting in Minnesota carrying a gun and held about 10 people hostage before law-enforcement officers fatally shot him. [12]

...that suspected "drug hitmen" killed six people in Ciudad Juarez. A "killing spree" in that Mexican city had left 41 people dead since the start of the weekend, police said. [13]

...that the Justice Department agreed to pay $5.8 million to settle a lawsuit with former Army scientist Steven Hatfill, who had been named as a person of interest in the 2001 anthrax attacks. [14]

...that fears of a Salmonella outbreak intensified and the government was checking to see whether tainted tomatoes, or a warehouse that is contaminating newly harvested tomatoes, or some other factor, was responsible for rising reports of Salmonella. [15]

(Melchizedek Communique, MC062209) The genie is out of the bottle as to the Iran situation, it appears.

Otherwise known as the Djinn, the genies are said to lead humans astray. This is quite obviously the case with much of the so-called "news" reports these days.

In the previous Communique, information was provided on the evil spirits of the giants. The Nephilim, as of the 18th century anyway, were found to be "enclosed by their phantasies by what seems like a misty rock, out of which they are continually striving, but in vain, to rise up." [1]

The Nephilim, in other words, are the "genie trapped in a bottle."

But have the Djinn "escaped from the bottle" lately? An acceleration of lies has been noticed.

Various "genie smokes" have been seen surrounding the Iranian election upheaval. It is a hall of mirrors: Which is the true image, and which are the fakes?

Bill Weinberg summarizes the current conspiracy thinking. [2]

The Iranian protesters are the "dupes or pawns of US imperialism", according to one school of thought. Reportedly, Paul Craig Roberts wonders if a CIA covert "black op" has been launched. [2]

Paul Joseph Watson has seemed to uncover BBC image manipulation. "The BBC has again been caught engaging in mass public deception by using photographs of pro-Ahmadinejad rallies in Iran and claiming they represent anti-government protests in favor of Hossein Mousavi," Watson reports. [3]

BBC has been under suspicion for decades. Writer Evelyn Waugh discerned sinister BBC tactics in his paranoid novel, The Ordeal of Gilbert Pinfold. [4]

Forget the Ahmadinejad/Mousavi sideshow, argues "psburton". The real battle occurring behind-the-scenes is a struggle between powerful Iranian clerics. The clerics (aka clerks), are the real supreme leaders in Iran. No candidate -- not Ahmadinejad nor Mousavi, nor anyone else -- is allowed to seek office without Ayatollah approval. [5]

And besides the Djinn, possibly escaped from the bottle (i.e., Nephilim escaped from confinement in one of the hells), there is the consideration that the mysterious President Barack Obama may be a Golem. [6]

But comfort may be found, as to fears of Djinn (Nephilim) escape from confinement. The Exodus prophecy promises, "...before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such." [1]

(Melchizedek Communique, MC062109) It is not certain why so-called science looks askance on the historicity of giants. There were once giant reptiles, called dinosaurs. Why could there not have once been giant humans? In Genesis 6 Giants author Stephen Quayle offers an excellent comprehensive overview of this subject. (For further info, visit Quayle's web site, http://www.stevequayle.com/)

"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that..." (Genesis 6: 4)

In the now recovered Book of Enoch, elaboration of provocative hints in Genesis 6:2 and 6:4 is furnished. The "Watchers" saw the daughters of men and mated with them. The Watchers disclosed "secret things" to their sons. (Enoch 10:7). Enoch has the giant offspring of the Watchers consuming "all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against them and devoured mankind. And they began to sin against birds, and beast, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood." (Enoch 7: 3-5) Eventually, Enoch has a vision ("walks with God," see Genesis 5:22), and is told by the Lord that "now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called evil spirits upon the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling. Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies; because they are born from men, and from the holy watchers is their beginning and primal origin; they shall be evil spirits upon the earth..." (Enoch 15: 8-9) There is "slaughter and destruction and death of the giants" but then from the souls of the giants' flesh the spirits go forth and apparently remain on earth as demons. (Enoch 16:1)

Mystic and theologian Emmanuel Swedenborg (1688 - 1772) offers further information on the giants, also known as the Nephilim. At the time of Enoch's writings, the demonic spirits of the giants had still remained. In that ancient time "they who were called 'Nephilim,' also 'Anakim' and 'Rephaim,' and were of the last posterity of the Most Ancient Church, were not yet shut up in hell, but wandered about and infused dire and deadly persuasions wherever they could, thus also into the evil in the church. This was the source of such falsity." (AC 7686)

What is called "the Lord" by Swedenborg seems to signify not only Jesus but also other presences of the deity -- in general, a Divine Presence on earth. This is apparent in the context of the passage in Exodus 10: 14, "...before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such." Swedenborg explains the deeper meaning of the passage as "They who before the Lord's coming had been of the church and had been evil as to life, were in such falsity as had not been before, and shall not be afterward." (AC 7686)

"...before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such." This plague of "locusts" is in the time frame of Moses and the "Pharaoh who knew not Joseph." The "locusts" signify the deadly, direful persuasions inflicted by the spirits of the giants.

Other hints on what became of "the locusts none such seen as they" (evil spirits of the giants) subsequent to the time of Enoch are elsewhere provided by Swedenborg:

The Nephilim had "conceived dreadful persuasions of their own greatness in comparison with others..." (AC 557) The "Nephilim are called 'mighty men' from the love of self..." (AC 583)

The baleful infestations of the giants, "which lived before the flood, is such that they so kill and suffocate all spirits by their most direful phantasies (which are poured forth by them as a poisonous and suffocating sphere) that the [other] spirits are entirely deprived of the power of thinking, and feel half dead..." (AC 581)

The "locusts" which "neither after them shall be such" signifies the evil spirits of the giants which no more can "rise up and infest the sphere of the world of spirits with the very direful poison of their persuasions." For, "it has been provided by the Lord that mankind should no longer become imbued with such dreadful phantasies and persuasions." (AC 581)

"These same Nephilim are at this day [circa 18th century] enclosed by their phantasies by what seems like a misty rock, out of which they are continually striving, but in vain, to rise up." (AC 1673)

But long ago, after the Flood, "they who were called 'Nephilim,' also 'Anakim' and 'Rephaim,' and were of the last posterity of the Most Ancient Church, were not yet shut up in hell, but wandered about and infused dire and deadly persuasions wherever they could..." (AC 7686) This was until the prophecy of "...before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such."

"But there are other persuasions of falsity which take possession of the intellectual part only, and which arise from the principles of falsity that are confirmed in one's self." (AC 1673) The "locusts" none such seen as they, the "mighty men", are gone, yet relatively less extreme falsities remain. An "acceleration of lies" has been noticed recently. However, such a "plague of locusts" cannot ever be as bad as were those which "neither after them shall be such."

"AC" signifies Arcana Coelestia by Emmanuel Swedenborg. The various numbers paired with "AC", (e.g. "AC 1673") are the notation numbers given in the text.

(Melchizedek Communique, MC061909) Tuesday, June 16th: Fly buzzes around head of President Barack Obama. When it landed on his left hand, the president smacked it hard with his right, and the fly fell dead to the floor.

Wednesday, June 17th: Hillary Clinton walks to car, falls, and breaks elbow.

In an earlier Communique, this publication had mentioned an encounter between Obama and the grievous, noisome fly. "Barack Obama, a.k.a. 'The Pharaoh', was reported by the New York Times on Sunday, June 7, 2009, to have been visited by one such noisome fly right in the Pharaoh's house (i.e., the White House) recently. 'President Obama was getting his daily economic briefing one recent morning when a fly distracted him. The president swatted and missed...'" [1]

June 7, 2009: Obama swats at fly, but misses. June 8, 2009: U.S. Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor fractured her right ankle after a stumble at New York’s LaGuardia airport.

(Acknowledgement to comment attached to "Clinton's elbow: 'Conspiracy theories'", at web site "The Swamp": To whit, "Sotomayor breaks her ankle. Hillary her elbow. God, do you have anything for Pelosi?" [2])

The origin of the grievous, noisome fly has been traced to the planet Venus. "In 1950, Macmillan Company published Immanuel Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision, a book which asserts, among many other things, that the planet Venus did not exist until recently. Some 3500 years ago in the guise of a gigantic comet, it grazed Earth a couple of times, after having been ejected from the planet Jupiter some indefinite time earlier, before settling into its current orbit." [3]

Specifically, as to the grievous, noisome fly, "the comet Venus infested the earth with vermin which it may have carried in its trailing atmosphere in the form of larvae together with stones and gases." It is "significant that all around the world people have associated the planet Venus with flies." [3]

Beelzebub (בעל זבוב, Ba'al-zvuv, "god of the fly", "host of the fly" or literally "Lord of Flies") is a name sometimes used as a synonym for Satan. [4]

The source for the name Ba‘al Zebûb / Beelzebub is in 2 Kings 1.2–3,6,16 where King Ahaziah of Israel, after seriously injuring himself in a fall, sends messengers to inquire of Ba‘al Zebûb, the god of the Philistine city of Ekron, to learn if he will recover. [5]

Source of name "Beelzebub" traced to King Ahaziah who injured himself in a fall. June 7th: Obama swats fly and misses; June 8th: Sonia Sotomayor stumbles and breaks ankle. June 16th: Obama swats fly and slaughters creature; June 17th: Hillary Clinton walks to car, falls, and breaks elbow.

But does Obama rule the flies, as suggested, or is he a deadly enemy to flies? Is Obama enemy of flies or "Lord of Flies"?

Other interpretations: (1) "The deliveries" have been stopped by Obama (The "Deliveries" are said always to be occurring "tomorrow." The "deliveries" apparently are connected with the Leo Wanta case and immense sums of cash, perhaps owed to the American people); (2) Jupiter, which once emitted the comet Venus, source of flies, went retrograde a few days ago. Coupled with Timewave Zero which accelerates between now and July 7th [1], negative aspect of the accelerations is denoted? Obama wishes to "kill the fly" (stop the accelerations)?

And, what connection does the strange case of two Japanese men who were allegedly trying to smuggle $134 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds into Switzerland last week have with "The Deliveries", the swatting (SWAT) of "flies", and ankle and elbow breakatures? Are the alleged bond smugglers "agents of Kim Jong Il stashing North Korea’s cash in a Swiss vault? Bagmen for Nigerian Internet scammers? Was the money meant for terrorists looking to buy nuclear warheads? Is Japan dumping its dollars secretly? Are the bonds real or counterfeit?" [6]
