6 Real World Da Vinci Codes That Aren't Full of Crap. Thanks to Dan Brown, everyone has one of two responses to the idea that there are hidden codes in ancient works: Either you immediately believe them, because of that mind-blowing Da Vinci Code book, or you immediately mock them, because of that bullshit Da Vinci Code book. The truth is somewhere in the middle. There are, after all, some fairly weird encoded messages that actual academic types have identified. And some of them are even about Freemasons. The Michelangelo Code Encoded Messages About: Jewish mysticism. Cracked has mentioned before that Michelangelo appears to have cleverly painted God to look like a giant brain in his Sistine Chapel fresco... ... but according to a prominent professor at Yeshiva University, the rabbit hole goes much, much deeper than that: Michelangelo's work is packed full of symbols of Jewish mysticism.
T-shirt evangelism is famously effective. So, in kabbalah, the Hebrew letter gimel symbolizes g'vurah, or justice and punishment. Above: Sarcasm. See? Forbidden Messages in Famous Frescoes? For centuries, people have traveled to Rome to visit the Sistine Chapel to stare up at Michelangelo's stunning ceiling. To most, the frescoes represent familiar stories from the Old Testament -- "the Creation of Adam," "the Temptation of Eve" -- and define the way many imagine these characters, even if they've never set foot in the chapel. But there are those who look at the 500-year-old frescoes and see something different. "[The ceiling] has so many layers of meaning upon meaning, and most of it, if not all of it, is from the Jewish tradition," said Roy Doliner, a Vatican tour guide. He and Rabbi Benjamin Blech, associate professor of the Talmud, Yeshiva University, have written a book, "The Sistine Secrets: Michelangelo's Forbidden Messages in the Heart of the Vatican.

"After all, God is all-knowing," he said. FBI intercepts its own terrorist plot against US Capitol, Pentagon. (NaturalNews) Truth be told, the biggest terrorist threat that Americans currently face does not originate from al-Qaeda. In a shocking revelation that essentially confirms the US government's involvement in funding, promoting, and even initiating terrorism, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was recently exposed for intercepting what can only be considered its own terrorist plot to send drone bombs into the US Capitol and the Pentagon.
Prison Planet cites a BBC News report about Rezwan Ferdaus, the 26-year-old US citizen that had apparently told undercover FBI agents at one point that he was interested in organizing terrorist attacks against the US. However, Ferdaus did not have the means to actually carry out any sort of attack -- it was, by all accounts, simply an idea without much possibility of ever becoming a reality. In their dealings with Ferdaus, undercover FBI agents essentially posed as fellow terrorists, and encouraged Ferdaus to commit acts of terrorism. FBI 'entrapment' tactics questioned in web of phony terror plots and paid informants. (NaturalNews) Dave Williams might have made some bad choices in his life that ultimately led to some jail time. But his greatest "crime," seems to have been manufactured by an overzealous federal agency looking to make some sort of "progress" in the war on terror.
Williams, who grew up poor in the small, gritty New York town of Newburgh, had already served time on a drug rap when he and three other local men were arrested in May 2009 on charges they plotted to blow up Jewish synagogues and purchase anti-aircraft missiles to shoot down military planes. Oddly enough, however, the weapons didn't come from some deep, dark terrorist organization. No, they were provided by none other than the F.B.I. who, through a paid informant, set up a so-called "terror" plot they themselves were then able to take down - and take credit for busting up. "We have as close to a legal entrapment case as I have ever seen," adds Susanne Brody, who is representing another Newburgh defendant, Onta Williams.

This ammunition is purchased for the sole purpose of being used in active fighting. At the same time, it is a violation of the Geneva Convention to use hollow point ammunition on the battle field. This is crucial to understand. How big of a war? How much ammunition is 450 million rounds, exactly? This testimony reveals that: That's 66 million rounds in a year. Those steps are: 1. 2. 3.
