Good story from the past reprinted in Nevada Magazine.

Quote:In 1924, a group of scientists and reporters announced that Yerington was the cradle of civilization!
This story first appeared in our August 1993 issue.

BY HARRY A. CHALEKIAN

On August 17,1924, readers of the “San Francisco Examiner” received the shocking news with their Sunday morning coffee: The cradle of civilization had been discovered on a rocky hilltop near Yerington, Nevada.

WAS THE GARDEN OF EDEN LOCATED IN NEVADA?” blared a front-page headline. An editor’s note declared:

“We have found what appears to be the evidence of the oldest civilization in the world-the oldest writing, the oldest art, the oldest sacrifice, the oldest worship, and the oldest burial.”

For the next week the [i]“Examiner”[/i], flagship of the Hearst newspaper empire, presented a spectacular series of articles and photos to support the theory that the Nevada site was “the actual scene of the creation of mankind.” The reports were the result of an expedition to the Yerington area led by Alan Le Baron, a self-proclaimed archaeologist. The key discovery, according to the paper’s breathless reports, was that the area’s petroglyphs appeared to be related to—and even predate—the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt. Thus, the Nevada site could be the cradle of mankind, the true Garden of Eden.

Stories called the hill near Yerington the “Site of a Thousand Tombs.” Photos showed petroglyphs of birds, snakes, and bighorn sheep. Scientists from around the world offered authoritative comments. The headlines focused often on the petroglyphs:

NEVADA CARVINGS ARE LIKE EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPHS.

INSCRIPTIONS GIVE CLEW TO ANCIENT MAN.

Other so-called discoveries were announced in the series of archaeological exposes:

TREMENDOUS ROCKS COVER ANCIENT DEAD.

CHEMIST SAYS DUST IN TOMBS IS MADE OF BONE.

While California readers were being bombarded with this startling news, the Reno and Carson City newspapers did not mention the series. The “Yerington Times” made a rare reference to the investigation when it noted that “it seems that Lyon County is about to become the Mecca of numerous expeditions.”

Around Yerington, residents had always believed the ancient petroglyphs were created by the forebears of the Paiute people. The late Sherman Lewis, a former ranch foreman, once recalled, “The local ranchers were too busy with their own lives and activities to pay much attention to the people from San Francisco. We thought Le Baron and his theories were cuckoo.”

The locals’ skepticism was well founded. For all its high-minded scientific pontifications, the Garden of Eden series turned out simply to be an entertaining hoax.



THE RINGLEADER

The tale began in the fall of 1923, when, the “Examiner” said, a rancher and mining man named Frank Bovard found a group of petroglyphs near the East Walker River. He described his discovery to Le Baron, a mining engineer and geologist who was working in the area. Le Baron took photographs of the petroglyphs and sent them to “Arabian scholars in Egypt,” according to the paper. The “scholars” then confirmed his theory that the inscriptions were Egyptian and Babylonian characters.

On May 8, 1924, Le Baron led an “Examiner” team to investigate the site. On June 10, Edward Clarke, the paper’s Sunday editor, joined them. Two months later the news exploded on the “Examiner’s” front page.

Alan Le Baron’s credentials were impeccable, said the “Examiner.” Le Baron had spent much of his youth in Egypt and had studied the records of ancient Arabian tribes. As a result, the paper said, “hieroglyphics to Le Baron are like the English alphabet to our readers.”

Editor Clarke admitted in print that the work “was rapid—possibly superficial from the viewpoint of cold, careful positive Science.” At the same time, he clearly was not about to let Science stand in the way of a good story.

LOCAL IMPRESSIONS

Today a number of Lyon County residents, now in their 80s, remember the so-called Garden of Eden and its promoter, Alan Le Baron. Eileen Vedder, a retired schoolteacher who lives in Yerington, recalls the Garden of Eden site well—her grandparents owned it. She says her parents, Charles and Violet McCloud, would take the family to the area for picnics in 1916, seven years before Le Baron’s “discovery.” The children would amuse themselves by playing among the rocks.

“There were two particular rock formations that towered above the other rocks on the hill. They were called ‘Adam and Eve,'”Vedder recalls. “Some time after the exploration team left, the two formations were pushed over by mischievous children—not me.” Could the Adam and Eve rock formations have inspired the notion of a “Garden of Eden?”

Vedder’s cousins, George and Leland Churchyard of Yerington, also remember the picnics and the hill. The two brothers say their aunt and mother named the two highest formations “Adam and Eve.” Leland recalls a local woman’s claim to have found some ossified plant bulbs in the area, and Egypt was said to be the only other place in the world where such bulbs were known to exist. Perhaps the plant-bulb fossils led to the Egyptian connection.

Howard Rogers clearly remembers the Garden of Eden area. A Paiute who lives near Yerington, Rogers was born at Desert Creek in Smith Valley 90 years ago. Sitting on his front porch and looking at the hills, Rogers recalls, “As a young man, I worked as a cowboy at all the ranches along the East Walker River. The ranchers would ask for me because I was a good man on a horse.”



Rogers says, “I remember often riding my horse to the hill of carved rocks. I know the carvings were done by earlier Paiute tribes living and hunting in the area.”

A few locals also remember Alan Le Baron. Walter Cox, retired publisher of the “Mason Valley News,” says Le Baron was a chivalrous man “who always made sure the ladies he escorted were seated first, always near the fire, and well attended to.” These social graces, combined with his credentials as a mining engineer, made Le Baron attractive to the wealthy families of the area.

Another man who knew Le Baron was the late Sherman Lewis, a former cowboy and ranch foreman. Le Baron would occasionally dine with the Lewis family at their ranch, which was located near the petroglyph site. Between Lewis’ mother, a schoolteacher, and his father, a mineralogist, Le Baron learned a lot about the area and its history at those dinners. Lewis said he believed it was his father, Harry Lewis, who first showed the inscribed rocks to Le Baron.

Lewis remembered the Paiutes spending winters near the rock hill. The hill was used as a lookout for hunting antelope, bighorn sheep, and deer that would come to the river for water. As a young boy, Lewis explored the hill and its inscriptions. With a glint in his eye, he also admitted that as a young man he took girlfriends to the hilltop for picnics and “scientific research.”

Donald Tuohy, curator of anthropology at the Nevada State Museum in Carson City, first learned of Le Baron while working in eastern Nevada 25 years ago. Tuohy never met the Garden of Eden promoter, but he recalls hearing about Le Baron during his professional travels. Tuohy says Le Baron was likely “a charlatan who used any pretext to draw attention, and funding, to his exploits as a self-proclaimed archaeologist.”

Another Eden skeptic is Doris Folsum, a retired teacher and amateur archaeologist who now lives in Reno. Folsum was in fifth grade at Yerington Elementary School at the time of the “Examiner” series.

“I remember when the story hit Yerington, but I don’t remember anyone being duly impressed. The only thing that impressed me was that my teacher, the former Georganne Kaufman, married Alan Le Baron.” Folsum, an active woman who has traveled the world, recalls that her teacher’s marriage to Le Baron created more excitement in Yerington than the “Eden” discovery.

THE FACTS

Over the years, other archaeologists have made authentic efforts to document the “Garden of Eden” site. An early description was provided by Garrick Mallery in his 1889 work, “Picture Writing of the American Indian.” Julian Steward described the site in his 1929 monograph, “Petroglyphs of California and Adjoining States.” In 1962, Robert Heiser and Martin Baumhoff used the data they recorded at the site to provide support for their idea that the petroglyphs were created at spots where game could be ambushed.

A more recent study of the area was performed in 1973 and 1974 by Karen Nissen of the University of California at Berkele. Her team catalogued and documented the rock inscriptions to test the hypothesis that the carvings were correlated with the hunting habits of local Indians. Additionally, the stone cairns or “soldiers” erected on a hill to the east of the site reflected John Muir’s 1890 description of a mountain sheep hunt conducted nearby. Nissen’s study barely mentioned the “Examiner” team’s exploration, stating that it was never scientifically reported.



Now an archaeologist with the California Department of Transportation, Nissen says, “I have heard of the Examiner articles, but I’ve never seen them. We studied the site quite thoroughly and classified 783 boulders with more than 3,800 art forms.”

She adds, “I’ve also made recent visits to the site escorting world-renowned archaeologists. From my extensive re- search at the site, I can only scoff at or heavily discount Alan Le Baron’s claims.”

The Garden of Eden is a 30-mile drive south of Yerington. On a recent visit, the quiet and beautiful landscape described in the newspaper articles was marred by a rough road that had been cleared around the base of the hill near the East Walker River.

The hilltop revealed a series of rock-walled enclosures that provided a protected and commanding view of the river valley. Inside the enclosures and on the top of the hill were the many petroglyphs that, combined with the scenic river and valley below, created the “Eden” excitement. The carvings portrayed bighorn sheep, deer, skeletons, snakes, birds, and round and star-like forms.

Below were more rock protected enclosures. Some of the rocks were inscribed with animal forms and other symbols. One could imagine sighting the herds from the hilltop and signaling the hunters waiting below.

A BEAUTIFUL VALLEY

After the visitors spent almost five hours climbing among the rocks, watching for rattlesnakes, admiring the carvings, and enjoying the view, the “Examiner’s” ‘Thousand Tombs’ and ‘Ancient Dead’ were nowhere to be found. Except for a hole blasted in the rock, there were no signs of major excavations.

The hill and its carvings did not point to Egypt or the origins of civilization. Obviously, the Examiner stories were simply a wonderful combination of scientific exaggeration and sensationalism designed to sell newspapers.

One Nevada authority who agrees with that assessment is archaeologist David Johnson of Carson City. Johnson has been interested in the East Walker River site for a number of years. He calls the “Examiner” articles” outrageously funny” and typical of the “Hearstian” journalism and attitudes of the era. Johnson adds, “There is no question in my mind that the East Walker River petroglyphs are of Native American origin.”

The man who promoted the Garden of Eden site so skillfully, Alan Le Baron, in time faded from the scene. Yerington folks remember that within a few years he and Georganne Kaufman, the local schoolteacher, were divorced. He was last seen working with a road crew on a highway project between Fernley and Yerington.

While Le Baron’s reputation and the “Examiner’s” sensational reports proved to be wildly exaggerated, the Garden of Eden site remains pristine and beautiful. Taking in the view of the river and valley below, one can understand the feelings inspired by the petroglyphs. The ancient symbols remind us that a rocky Nevada hilltop, in its own way, is a perfect place to find paradise.

Political Correctness Be Damned — Palestinians and Hamas Are One in the Same

https://thelibertydaily.com/political-co...s-are-one/

Quote:Some people, in an attempt to appear politically correct and accepting, end up on the point of a bayonet, the reality of the error of their ways dawning on them too late. It comes as no surprise that U.S. college students and elements of the Democrat party are once again siding with the perpetrator (Palestine) instead of the victim. Both groups consistently side with bad actors. (Note the “LGBTQ+ for Palestine” signs – doesn’t that underscore their ignorance of Palestinian intolerance for alphabet people?) Much like the Confucius Centers sponsored by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) promote Communist ideas and recruit new Communists on numerous college campuses, so too do the Middle Eastern Cultural Centers (MECCs) on college campuses spread Islam and support anti-Semitic ideas. College students are now our most brainwashed population, infected with ideas antithetical to freedom. And given the tell-tale tactics of Antifa being deployed at these protests, I would not be surprised if Antifa is behind some protests. (They have their historic roots in 1932 Weimar Germany. Antifaschistische Aktion was founded by the Stalinist-backed Marxist Communist Party of Germany called the KPD).


[b]Many will say, “Well, supporting Palestine is not supporting Hamas.” [/b]Palestinians elected Hamas to rule them. On October 7th, the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, [b]Palestinians everywhere cheered the attack on Israeli civilians that included rapes, decapitations, burning of babies, and hostage-taking. [/b]Palestinians have done nothing to condemn or remove Hamas from power; they’ve celebrated their actions. Not everyone in Nazi Germany was in the military, and not everyone in Palestine is a Hamas soldier, but they support Hamas’s actions, and that makes them culpable in this atrocity against an unarmed civilian population.
They’ve not once called for the halting of the thousands of rockets launched toward Israeli civilians for years. Every member of Hamas is Palestinian and Palestinians see them as their army that supports their ideology of wiping Israel from the map. Slogans such as “From the River to the Sea” refer to the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, all Israeli territory. What is taught in Palestinian schools is no different than what Nazis taught German schoolchildren to raise a generation fueled with hatred of Jews. Germans knew they were doing something wrong and tried to hide it. Hamas and Palestinians don’t even attempt to hide their atrocities but celebrate them instead.

[b]Don’t buy the “two-state” lie.[/b] Palestinians don’t want a two-state solution. They were offered land by Israel when Arafat was negotiating peace with Israel. Arafat refused the offer, saying Palestinians would only be happy when Israel and its Jews were wiped from the map. If you listen, you will hear that echoed by Palestinians today.

[b]Protesters claim Palestine is occupied.[/b] Gaza is not occupied, and Israel provides the region with many basic resources (electricity, water). What protesters are referring to is the existence of Israel. Israel as a modern country was founded in 1948 and settled largely by Jewish survivors of the holocaust on land that historically had been the Jewish homeland. Rome had changed the name of the area to Palestina in 115 AD to remove the name Judea in an attempt to suppress a Jewish uprising against Roman rule. In 1948, the Muslim nations in the area (which had become Muslim as a result of the Ottoman Empire’s control of the region until it was dissolved after World War I in 1922.), under United Nations pressure, decided if they had to give land back to the Jews, they’d give them the most inarable land in the region so they would starve. Israelis used new technology and irrigation to make the land flourish. Muslim nations attacked the new nation on its second day of its existence. Through a series of wars that followed, Muslim nations lost territory to Israel. Israel has given back land as a means of securing peace, and retained some land as the spoils of war to maintain a security buffer. To their credit, Israelis have given material support to the Gaza Strip, only to have that material support, such as pipe for sewer systems, converted to rockets to be launched back at Israeli civilians. Despite that, Israel welcomes Palestinians to work in Israel every day.

[b]Palestinian Squatting and Agitation. [/b]You might ask why Muslim nations in the region are not offering shelter to Palestinians. Here’s the answer. All the nations have seen the agitation and unrest that came when Jordan allowed Palestinians to squat in the West Bank. They never left. Recently, Lebanon’s Palestinian “refugee” population created so much unrest in the city of Sidon, Lebanon’s third largest city, that the city was off-limits to visitors. Palestinians were displaced in 1948 and never assimilated into other Muslim nations. The Muslim nations know this and are not anxious to welcome the Palestinians. Many view the Palestinians as the Nazis of the Arab world. By their indoctrination, they are. But to be clear, in the Middle East, Iran was the best friend of Nazi Germany, changing the name of its country from Persia to Iran, which in Farsi means Aryan, after Hitler’s visit to Persia.

[b]Democrats fuel Hamas. [/b]Biden sent $100 Million to Palestine before offering any assistance to Israel. Had the U.K.’s Clement Attlee sent money to Nazi Germany in 1939 following the Nazi invasion of Poland, people would have said he was insane. Biden has essentially done something very similar. Biden is an idiot if he thinks that will not provide aid and comfort to Israel’s enemy. And he made this pledge of support while Hamas holds U.S. hostages. (That’s his America Last Policy, again.) He also unfroze $6 Billion in assets for Iran, which funds Hamas and their cousins Hezbollah in Lebanon. Hamas fighters carried abandoned U.S. M-4 rifles that Biden left behind in Afghanistan with his disastrous exit from that war. Rashida Tlaib, a Socialist member of Congress, continues to fly the Palestinian flag in her Congressional office. She’s representing the interest of Palestinians more than she is the Americans who live in her district in Detroit. Ihan Omar, supported by America when escaping Somalia as a child, now spits on America every chance she gets. The people of Minnesota’s 5th District and Michigan’s 12th District should investigate the recall of these members of Congress. Omar and Tlaib define what the Founder’s would call an enemy in our midst. With Democrats as your ally, who needs enemies?

[b]The enemy’s tactics in the public relations war. [/b]Bullies like to hit someone and cry foul if they get hit back harder. In the coming days, people will whine that Israel’s response should be proportional. No, it shouldn’t be, it should be massive and overwhelming. Bad actors gain ground and leverage over peaceful nations when nations are weak in response to attacks. In the Middle East, only strength is respected. Israel must fight to win. The enemy does not get input on Israel’s response. Nor should U.S. politicians criticize Israel’s response. Hamas will use mosques, schools, hospitals, and civilians as their shields because when they are hit, the world will criticize Israel for bombing mosques, schools, hospitals, and civilians. Instead, Hamas should be criticized for its cowardly tactics.

[b]Our blind spot. [/b]The U.S.’s Southern and Northern borders are porous. Cartels are partnered with Middle East terrorists and they are already inside the U.S. as assuredly as Biden is a weak leader. September saw record number of illegal encounters and that does not account for the number who slipped through. We should consider moving a carrier strike group into the Gulf Of Mexico. We’re very likely to see an attack here that makes 9/11 look like a cakewalk. Sealing both borders is not optional. It is overdue. Look at Armenia right now. Look at Somalia. There are Iranian-sponsored hot spots all over the world. We’re foolish if we think they’d attack what they call the Little Satan and not attack the Big Satan (their term for the U.S.)

Iran would have far fewer resources if the U.S. was pumping its own oil and Biden was not sending the Iranians U.S. taxpayer money. It’s time to wake up to what Palestinians really are and the very real threats we as Americans face.

I have not watched this yet as I am late out the door for a match.. Let me know if this is a decent story...?

Quote:Today, I bring you the true story of what the Martin family experienced years back. They described being attacked by a group of what they describe as large wolf like creatures. You want want to miss this!

Quote:The purpose of this annual report is to provide the most accurate statistics possible about serial killers and their victims. The source of this information is the Radford/FGCU Serial Killer Database which is described in detail in the next section of the report.

For many years, the report consisted of a series of tables with little commentary. In this version (2023) of the report, we have included a description of the Database as well as commentary for most of the tables.  In each subsequent year, we will continue to add commentary to selected topics until the report contains results and commentary for all topics.  In subsequent years we also plan on including infographics that will help “spice up” the information in the tables as well as including tests of statistical significance for all relevant comparisons.

It is not the purpose of this report to delve into the mind of the serial killer. There are already excellent text books (e.g., Fox, Levin, & Fridel, 2023; Hickey, 2016) and other books that do a thorough job of doing this.

One of our goals is to increase collaboration among serial homicide researchers. Toward that end, if any researchers are interested in adopting” a current topic or proposing a new topic to provide annual updates and commentary, we would love to partner with you.

Although information has been collected on such topics as the presence of triad behaviors and head injuries, we will not publish summaries of fields such as these until we have collected enough information that will lead to reliable interpretations.

Has the Racial Composition of Serial Killers Changed Over Time?

As shown in Tables 6.01 through 6.03,

- The percentage of Black serial killers in the United States has steadily increased across the decades from a low of 17% in the 1920s to over 57% in the 2010s.

The percentage of Hispanic serial killers has also increased in the past few decades but has remained at or below the Hispanic representation in the U.S. population.

Data Notes and Interpretation Cautions

• The analyses in this section only cover the United States
  
• The race of the serial killer came from a variety of sources such as on-line prison records, ancestry.com (e.g., birth records, Census records, death records), and media/Internet reports.
  

Interpretation Cautions

The information on offender behaviors (Table 6.07) is still in a very preliminary stage.

What is the Racial Composition of Serial Killers in the United States?

As shown in Tables 6.01 through 6.03,

• Across all time periods, approximately half of serial killers have been White, 41% Black, 7% Hispanic, 1% Asian, and 1% Native American.
  
• Since 1990, the majority of serial killers were Black (50.9%) followed by White (36.3%), Hispanic (10.6%), Asian (1.9%), and Native American (.4%). 
  
• The percentages for White and Black serial killers change only slightly – about 2% - when serial killers who killed as part of an organization (i.e., gang, organized crime, or a cult) are removed from the analysis.
  
• In all decades, the percentage of Black serial killers exceeds the percentage of Black citizens in the United States population.
  

This entire book is gone over entirely with supporting verses from throughout the Bible.  

It’s very needed in these End Times.

Words are hard for me to find right now but I need to get them out in hopes of feeling at least a little better.

My mom has a somewhat rare but very aggressive cancer stopping her from producing red blood cells.  There are a number of "treatments" but I don't believe they do anything more than prolong her misery until her body gives out.

The thought of losing my mom is hard after all the other family I have lost.  The maddening part of this is the person who claims to be my father.  I'm sure he is my father but I don't recongize him as being a human being.  The problem is that he is and has always been a bully, attempting to boss everyone around.  Part of this is due to medical reasons but it's beside the point in trying to change him.  What he is doing is staying with mom in the hospital, perhaps 24/7 keeping other family away from seeing her.  Even her own sister.  He goes beserk cursing at them to get out.  

I don't want my mom's final days/weeks, or who knows how long to be like this.  There is not much I can do on my own as I live far away from them.  The reason for living far away is that the father has threatened to kill me as he does just about anyone else who tries to show him that he is an idiot.

My sister is of some help in this matter.  At least keeping me up to date on mom's medical status.  However she thinks dad is a saint and can't help what he does.

I am going to lay out a new angle of thought on something else I believe we've been lead down a wrong train of thought on.

I'm not going to quote Bible verses, since that's been done to death, but I will use Biblical references. 

I remember first hearing of this as a little boy in church. It scared the crap out of me back then. My whole life I've heard that this is some mark, or chip, or bar code, or implant that a person will either receive or deny so that they can buy and sell goods. The "mark" will be placed on the forehead or right hand.

A new angle:
I do not believe this will be a physical mark. I believe this is a spiritual mark.

The Bible makes many references to things being written on the forehead and right hand. The Old testament references this many times. God even tells us to write his word on our right hands and on our foreheads. The Bible also talks about a mark that His chosen will have on them. Only that mark will be what distinguishes His elect, verse those who are not His children.

The Bible uses metaphors all throughout. The "right hand" is a metaphor for one's actions.
The "forehead" is a metaphor for one's thoughts.

I believe the "mark of the beast" is actually visible, today, through someone's thoughts and actions. You can pretty well tell how a person thinks by how they act.

This 666 sign is something that even nonbelievers are aware of. If this mark were to play out as it's been described to us, then even a nonbeliever would be able to identify this mark, and deny it. This is too simple in my opinion. This mark is something that calls for wisdom. 
 
A spiritual aspect is something a nonbeliever wouldn't comprehend or believe.  If i were to present this to any nonbelievers it would get dismissed because they're not even considering their own spirits and the spiritual side of any of it. They're eyes are fixed solely on the physical world, as are most who claim to be of God, but aren't. 

People are waiting for some microchip to come out, or some brain implant, or some bar code we'll have to use to buy or sell. Now some people are thinking it's digital currency.  But none are considering a spiritual aspect. 

I believe we have been given a physical narrative to this "mark of the beast" when we should be looking within our own spirits. We are acting and thinking either in the Light or in the dark. Most of what I see from people's actions is in the dark side of the spectrum. I see very little actions that constitute being in the Light. Most of what is going on around is evil with very little of what is truly good, and selfless and humble or meek. This is the difference in what people have "written on their foreheads and right hands." Their thoughts and actions.

The counter balance to the mark of the beast is the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit carries His own mark on us. This mark is what distinguishes God's elect from those who have chosen to go their own way. Of their own freewill. 

I believe the mark of the beast is a spiritual mark, not a physical one. I also believe we may already either have this mark or not.

As with everything else, I believe we've been lied to enough about this that we have only considered one train of thought for it. We should be exploring different possibilities for something that will determine our eternity. 


Feel free to give any thougts or ideas as to what you believe the mark of the beast will actually be.
