Ben Franklin and Rosicrucian Dragons – Trepanning   by Robert Bruce Baird

Ben Franklin will always appear to be a great man and he was that indeed. But he was not just the founder of America or The Enlightenment Experiment. He was one of the founders of the New World Order along with Pierre Dupont de Nemours who he negotiated the armistice to end the British campaign against their former colony. This in fact lead to a union and alliance that still rules the world but in a far more complete manner than the British Empire ever did. I have dealt with many intrigues he was part of and I have personally enjoyed conversing with his descendants. His drawing of the line to include Isle Royale as part of the United States is very important as any reader of my book on the Old Copper culture will know. He was a man who enjoyed his sex and the rituals of the Rosicrucian Dragons a great deal more than most. In the following quote from an article in The Guardian we see ‘trepanning’ again. Of course the authors might think this is only part of some anatomical research but I suspect it is part of sexual and psycho-spiritual rituals just as I have shown occurred in these nether regions of esoteric behaviour for many millennia. The trepanned head of the Merovingian King Dagobert allowed him greater psychic attunement and despite Franklin having been part of the witch hunt against Anton Mesmer and his use or exposure of these secrets I know Franklin understood what trepanning really was suited to achieve. And I know they are reported to still eat human thalami at some meetings of the Skull and Bones Society. Sir Laurence Gardner makes it clear that store bought desiccated animal sources do not serve their needs as well as human brain parts do.

“Benjamin Franklin’s house: the naked truth

Restoration reveals secrets of American campaigner

Maev Kennedy, arts and heritage correspondent

Monday August 11, 2003
The Guardian

Some time in 2005 visitors will be able to visit the tall narrow Georgian house in the heart of London where Benjamin Franklin once sat stark naked by the large first floor sash windows, “air bathing” and thinking about bifocals, electricity, economics, American politics, British diplomacy, or how to get the fire in his back room to draw better.

It is a fair bet that however passionately interested the visitors are in the political history of American independence, and the intellectual history of the Age of Enlightenment, what will transfix them is the windowless basement room, once part of the garden.

As restoration work by the Friends of Benjamin Franklin House began on 36 Craven Street, a Grade I listed house rescued from the brink of tottering collapse, a small pit was found in the basement room. A human thigh bone was found.

The coroner and the police were notified. Excavation continued. More human bone surfaced. And more. And more, until more than 1,200 pieces of bone were recovered.

Since the bones were too ancient to trouble Scotland Yard, they are now in the care of the Institute of Archaeology, where experts have already determined that they range from an old man to a human baby. Several skulls have been trepanned, and arm and leg bones chopped through.

The most plausible explanation is not mass murder, but an anatomy school run by Benjamin Franklin’s young friend and protégé, William Hewson. He had been a pupil of the most brilliant anatomist of the day, William Hunter, but the two fell out and Hewson started his own anatomy school – at the home of his mother-in-law Margaret Stephenson, just off the Strand, where Benjamin Franklin was also a lodger for 16 years.

He had a rich source of subjects at hand: the resurrection men could deliver bodies stolen from graveyards to the Thames wharf at the bottom of the street, while there was a weekly public execution at the gallows on the other side of the garden wall.

Benjamin Franklin, who was interested in absolutely everything – he was lucky to escape killing himself or his guests at the demonstrations of electricity he was wont to give during dinner parties – must have attended the public dissections. {For Dragons like the later Skull and Bonesmen who like Pierre Dupont de Nemours and Rufus King would be into the same ritual I trace and Gardner admits to.}

Hewson died young of blood poisoning after he cut himself during a dissection.

Franklin eventually returned to the United States, but was estranged from his abandoned family, and separated from the illegitimate son who shared his London years when Franklin declared for American independence and the son was exiled for his loyalty to England.

The house was less than 30 years old when Franklin came to London and rented the best first floor rooms, where he was visited by all the leading figures in radical politics, science and philosophy.” (2)

Franklin was also a member of The Hellfire Club and you should know about John Dee and the Necronomicon as mentioned in this excerpt.

“John Montagu, Lord Sandwich (the face in the halo) and George Selwyn, (a close friend of Horace Walpole who visited in 1763) were among the inner circle of twelve. One of the female members, Lady Betty Germaine, became a particular friend of Walpole’s; through her Walpole acquired one of Dr. Dee’s celebrated scrying stones, the Angelic Stone, now in the British Museum. Mary Wortley Montagu, Lord Sandwich’s grandmother and a member of the earlier Hellfire Club, was also said to have been a member.

Satirized in the novel Chrysal, or the Story of a Guinea by Charles Johnstone, and referenced in Charles Churchill’s The Candidate, these Medmenhamites were a probable influence on Matthew Lewis’s The Monk.

Benjamin Franklin joined the group on occasion and collaborated with Sir Francis to revise the Book of Common Prayer or Franklin Prayer Book still in use in America. Franklin was also associated with the radical Lunar Society which included Erasmus Darwin, Richard Edgeworth (Maria Edgeworth’s father), and William Godwin’s friend, Joseph Priestley.” (2)

Options From California Flooring Companies   by Robart Paul

If you are planning to build a new house or renovate or remodel an old one, flooring is one of the items on your list that requires planning and a lot considerations. Floors are the part of your home that are often trod-upon. That is why deciding on your flooring should not be done on a spur of the moment. Good California flooring companies can help you in making a smart flooring choice. However, it will never do you any harm if you try to know and understand your flooring choices.

The Importance of Good Flooring:

As stated above, floors are the parts of your house that receive the most traffic. That is why they should be durable so that they can take years of abuse from numerous feet stamping, running around, moving of objects or furniture and other actions that can easily wear or tear a surface.

Good flooring contractors would tell you to choose a floor that will suit the common functions of each room in your home. For example, a hardwood floor is not the right choice for a bathroom for the simple reason that constant moisture and wetness would eventually decay and rot the flooring.

The ideal choice for bathroom flooring would be a ceramic tile since the material is durable and water resistant. Furthermore, porcelain or ceramic tiles are very attractive and pleasing to the eyes. Using them will enhance the aesthetics of your bathroom.

Using solid-color tiles in your bathroom will allow you to create floor borders by using contrasting or different colors to achieve a pleasing effect. You can ask any California flooring companies for advice on flooring colors.

Flooring Options:

If you want to create a more visual flooring interest, you can try alternating the colors. Or you can lay out the ceramic or porcelain tiles diagonally to provide the room a striking look. If you have a theme in your room, you can choose a flooring design that matches it. For example, tiles with bold colors would make your bathroom feel and look contemporary or modern. Just make sure that the wall background is simple.

For a classic Victorian look, floral-graphic tiles in light blue or light pink are highly recommended by flooring contractors. You can create a Mediterranean atmosphere by using handpainted or terracotta tiles.

On the other hand, vinyl wood flooring is ideal for use in bedrooms or hallways. This is because vinyl is easy to clean. All you need is a vacuum to clean the dirt and grit. You also have the option to apply floor cleaners on vinyl and polish it to maintain its shine and brand-new look.

Just remember to wipe off spills immediately to prevent staining the flooring. Also, do not use abrasive materials on your flooring so as to avoid scratches or any damages to the vinyl.

The Secret’s Out About Croatia’s Impressive Dalmatian Shore, But Istriathe Promontory Bordering Slovenia And A Quick Hop From Italy’s Triesteis Beginning To Lure American Travelers To Its Adriatic Beaches And Verdant Interior That’s Been Christened The ‘New Tuscany.’

The secret’s out about Croatia’s impressive Dalmatian coastline, but Istria the peninsula bordering Slovenia and a quick hop from Italy’s Trieste is starting to lure American travelers to its Adriatic beaches and verdant interior that’s been christened the “new Tuscany.” The vibe here is decidedly Italian. You’ll find a lot of prosciutto and regionally grown wines on the menu, and Italian is the second language. Actually the Romans were so besotted with Istria that they called it the “terra magica.” But a big difference from the Italian boot : the holiday maker crowds and costs. Hilltop towns are yours for the strolling, truffles, yours for the searching.

For tours to Croatia, consider booking a check-list with Kompas US. Since the 1980s when Kompas was the official tour operator to the previous Yugoslavia, the company has evolved into a multi-country supplier of escorted tours and group tours to Central and South Europe. Its core business is selling Croatia to U.S. Tour operators and travel agents.

Nick Jaksic, vice chairman sales and promoting at Kompas in Fort Lauderdale, says that Kompas “offers a number of provoking four- and five-star hotels for its groups in Istria like the Kempinski Umag, Sole Garden Istria in Umag, Monte Mulini Rovinj, and the Molindrio Laguna Hotel Porec.” Tiana Maretic, an Istria local who works with Kompas France, loves the Valsabbion Hotel in Pula “because of its top quality foodthe best-rated cafe in Croatia according to GaultMillau.” She lists 3 “must-visit” places in central Istria, where wine routes and olive oil factories delight gourmets : “Hum, the tiniest city in the world, Motovun renowned for its film festival, and Roc for its music festival.” In Croatia you should buy a luxury Croatia real estate.

Jetset Montenegro

Montenegro was once a magnet for Hollywood movie celebrities like Sophia Loren and Richard Burton who found a hedonist’s playground on the mountain-backed Riviera. Jammed between Bosnia and Albania on the Balkan Peninsula, the tiny country slid off the tourism map during decades of Commie rule and the Balkan wars. Now Montenegro is moving back into the limelight, thanks largely to Amanresorts, that has pumped millions into the restoration of a personal island resort called Sveti Stefan. This four-year project was the biggest in Amanresorts’ history.

Attached to the mainland by a little isthmus, the fortified island was converted from a fishing town into a luxury hotel complex in the 1960s, but then slipped into decline in the 1990s. The UNESCO heritage listed island is dotted with olive and pomegranate trees, fragrant with oleander. Unlike some of the large-scale property developments on the coast, Amanresorts has carefully preserved the island’s 15th century houses and cobblestone streets. Trapped by crescent shaped beaches, the 50 guest accommodationshoused in previous fishermen’s cottagesare finished with local materials and decked out with custom-designed furnishings to reflect the island’s natural classy.

Across the bay, the Villa Milo269;er offers an extra eight suites. Once the summer residence of Queen Marija Karadjordjevic, the villa debuted in December 2008 as stage one of Aman Sveti Stefan, with the rest of the resort opening early on in the year. Amanjunkies who’ve started to expect top-quality service and comforts at Amanresorts worldwide won’t be disappointed with this pretty Montenegro property.
Eye on Iceland

Back in 2008when Iceland’s economy tanked and the Icelandic krona dropped dramatically against the U.S. Dollar the country once renowned for excessive prices turned into a top bargain destination for travelers. All of a sudden, Iceland’s geyser-pocked wilderness and Reykjavik’s red-hot party scene were within close range. Icelandair promoted inexpensive airfares and packages to go to the Blue Lagoon, effervescent with natural hot springs right next to the airfield. Ultimately , Iceland turned a recession into a tourism boom.

Today, Iceland has made a spot on average traveler’s bucket list, and travel agents are using continued deals with Icelandair. The airline frequently beats rivals on costs to Europe with three-day stopovers included for no additional cost. Though a fast five-hour flight suggests that many East Coasters are just jetting to Iceland and skipping a jaunt to the Continent despite a certain (uncontrolled) volcano. Tip : The light-filled days of June (twenty hours of light) might be the perfect time to go to, when the Reykjavik Arts Holiday takes center stage.

No, not the Peach State. After a trip to the Republic of Georgia, we are saying that Tbilisi, the nation’s atmospheric capital, is the “next Prague.” When the country was part of the USSR, Georgia hosted countless Soviet leaders who were lured by the Black Sea beaches, brick-domed baths fed by underground hot springs, and prized bottles of Borjomi mineral water. (Not to mention the wine. Georgia is the fabled birthplace of viticulture) Today the country is an enjoyable and largely undiscovered destination at the crossroads of west and east.

In Tbilisi’s Old Town, pedestrian streets are covered with stylish bars, speciality shops, and frescoed orthodox churches. Crumbling pastel houses tilt at strange angles, like the lines in a cubist painting, and colorful Kazak rugs are draped across wooden balconies, extravagantly carved in the Georgian custom. With the appearance of international hotel brandsthe Radisson Blu Iveria Hotel opened on famous Rustaveli Avenue in 2009Tbilisi is a destination to look at.

Georgia is legendary for its hospitality and lavish feasts. This land in the Caucasus once charmed antiquity’s Jason (who sailed across the Black Sea to Georgia in search of the Golden Fleece) and will soon begin seducing American travelers in a big style. It will not be too long before the cat’s out of the bag about Georgia’s galvanized cuisine and genuine joie de vivre,writes tagza.com.
