Straight Talk About the Annunaki
As the oldest civilization on record, the ancient Sumerians gave us models for future civilizations on this planet. The Earth we know came to be from a collision with the planet Niburu, and the planet Tiamat over 450,000 years ago, which caused Tiamat to break in half, also causing a moon of Niburu to hit another half of the new planet now called Earth. Ancient legends also speak of a race of giants that walked the earth, Goliath being one such giant referred to in the Bible. Sumerian deities included Anu and Ki, which is where the name Annunaki came from. The giants were also called Nephilim who slept with the women of earth, creating a hybrid race.

What Psychic Talent Is and What It Isn’t
The term “psychic” — is given to people gifted with extra sensory perception. Some may prefer the term, “gifted.” There is a comprehensive list of abilities on Wikipedia. Extrasensory perception may be present in all human beings since we are a psychic species by nature, but in some, the abilities are shut off. These days the knowledge of what real psychic ability can appear as, is being researched more often and is gaining some ground with regard for credibility by scientists. In terms of what real ESP is, it can manifest in a variety of ways. Real psychics do not cold read people. They see deeper than a mere cold reading on the surface, such as “Do I see a wedding ring on this person or not?” Rings are not the most obvious sign a person is married. They are put on the index finger to signify somebody is taken, but at the same time, a person may or may not be actually married. They might be wearing that ring to keep men away from them.

Does Time Exist?
Before we start I'd like you to know that I don't question the amazing power of math or the amazing genius of people like Einstein and Hawking. However, I do argue that life — or the universe as a whole — cannot be defined or conquered by math. It may be comforting to believe that the laws of the universe could be captured in a few simple or even complex mathematical equations, but I don't believe that they can or ever will be. Yes — math has done amazing things for our species! It's amazing that through the wonder of math we were able to discover things like black holes — or that black holes eventually evaporate... Math has and will continue to take us ever further into the realm of understanding. But taking math alone into account leads to things like a world with 10 dimensions (string theory) or 26 dimensions (bosonic string theory). We get blinded by the math. We can't see the forest for the trees. And this is where I think some of our smartest minds have missed the mark by getting so wrapped up in their math that they miss the subtle beauty of the truth.

UFO: Understanding Flying Objects
The reason Earthlings can't find a solution to the UFO phenomenon is that they think UFOs fly. Immediately you will have people respond that there are objects flying in the sky that are unidentified so UFOs do fly. What I am referring to here is that since

Where Did America Get Her Name?
Where America got her name: In researching where America got her name, I came upon some interesting facts. One site with some interesting reading was the University of Huston. It even showed an interesting picture of the two routes Amerigo Vespucci made in 1499. Vespucci, who was an Italian merchant employed by the Medici’s of Italy (who helped Columbus prepare for his third voyage), sailed and explored South America, after Columbus had sailed his second voyage. During his explorations, as he was also a Navigator like Columbus, he had measured the Earth’s circumference to within just 50 miles and had also made improvements to navigational techniques. Amerigo Vespucci’s second voyage was the exploration that was historical. He followed the coast of South America down and realized it was NOT India, but a new continent entirely.
