It appears that whats over there, is over here.. If Israel and the Middle East go, we all go with it.. One Foot stands here and the other Foot stand in the Middle East. Perhaps the upper hand, or should I say foot.. Then, do you know where Israel is in the USA?

WIkipedia / Temple Lot The Temple Lot, located in Independence, Jackson County, Missouri, is the first site to be dedicated for the construction of a temple in the Latter Day Saint movement. The area was dedicated on Wednesday, August 3, 1831 by the movement's founder, Joseph Smith, Jr.,[1] and purchased on December 19, 1831 by his colleague Edward Partridge to be the center of the New Jerusalem or "City of Zion" after he received a revelation stating that it would be the gathering spot of the Saints during the Last Days.[2] Wikipedia / Albert Pike In 1831, Pike left Massachusetts to travel west, first stopping in St. Louis and later moving on to Independence, Missouri. In Independence, he joined an expedition to Taos, New Mexico |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 1554286 United States 02/13/2012 06:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There are two schools of thought on how this Land Between the Rivers became known as Egypt. The first says the regional name developed because of the existence of Egyptian place names such as Cairo and Thebes. The second argument says the region was named after settlers in the northern part of the state had to travel to Southern Illinois to buy grain after a series of bad winters or droughts. The settlers in their wagon trains were similar to the ancient Israelites traveling unto Egypt to buy grain. The trouble with both of these arguments is that they are both right, and they're both wrong as well, because the Egyptian city names and the bad winters occurred after the region got its moniker. But both stories are true to the extent that they helped spread acceptance of the name. One of the first persons to associate Southern Illinois with Egypt was John Badgley, a Baptist missionary to the French and Indian villages in the American Bottoms. Badgley was a preacher in the newly-settled American towns of New Design and Bellefontaine in what's now Monroe County. They were settled after the Revolutionary War during the 1790s. In 1799, during his travels among the French settlements, he went up on top of the bluffs in the area of what's now Edwardsville and dubbed the fertile highlands and bottoms the "Land of Goshen." Being a preacher, he knew that the Bible referred to Goshen as the best land of ancient Egypt. It was the land the pharaoh gave to Joseph's family after they came to Egypt. That Bagdley is the one is credited with the name "Goshen" is not disputed. Neither is the Biblical reference to Egypt. So why did he give the area the Egyptian name? If the land was so good, why not call it Canaan, the land the Bible describes as a land of milk and honey? Regrettably, Badgley didn't give us the answer, but the answer may be visible even today. As you stand on top of the bluffs above the American Bottoms you see a grand river valley that even in 1799, settlers knew contained the longest river on the continent, if not the world. There are only two rivers longer than the combined Missouri-Mississippi Rivers, and those are the Amazon and the Nile. Baptist preachers on the frontier probably did not know much if anything about the Amazon, but the Nile was well known to European Civilization. Thus the Mississippi itself probably led to the first reference to Egypt. Another reason why Badgley may have chosen Goshen over Canaan, was that Canaan represented home to the Israelites, where Goshen was part of a foreign country. In 1799, Illinois was almost like a foreign country. New Spain was just across the river. The predominant European language in the state was French, not English. The American Bottoms were so named because at that time they were the western border of the United States. But this part of Illinois was not just foreign, it was ancient, like Egypt itself. In the Carolinas, when settlers traveled west they met the Cherokees, an Indian nation that had lived in the southern Appalachians for centuries. Beyond that was Kentucky, a pristine wilderness untouched by permanent settlement, even by the Indians. Even further west was Southern Illinois. Like Kentucky, Southern Illinois was mostly a hunting ground without large permanent Indian villages, at least until the French came and encouraged the Illini to settle among them. But unlike Kentucky, there was a mysterious air to the region. Along the rivers one could see various mounds, in the hills, ancient stone forts, and up the Mississippi itself, the largest mounds of them all near Cahokia. So the Mississippi Valley not only served as a reminder to the Nile, the local mounds gave a faint physical resemblance to the pyramids of Egypt. The mounds and ruins of stone forts gave evidence of an ancient culture that had been more advanced than the Indian cultures that inhabited the state at the end of the 18th Century. |

Because underground. Pine Gap, Australia is the deepest natural made cavern in the world, guess who is the second? Somewhere around St. Louis! Numerous caves are also located between Hannibal and St. Louis, as well as in central Missouri near Columbia. So why do they like to visit these places with huge underground space? I was recently contacted and met a girl who heard about me on a site called underground Ozarks. It's hard to explain why she wanted to meet me but it has to do with a dream she had about some kind of ritual with children taking place underneath Washington University & Forest Park. I live across the street from Foret Park and have lived near it for many years. Also my mom and step dad went to Washington University. Before we met she had no idea that I lived near forest park or that my parents went to Wash - U. I'm not sure what's going on but I do know that Missouri and even St.louis has a ton of caves. There are many houses in the city of st.louis which contain cave entrances in the basements. Wow! Never knew that about the cave entrances, but it makes sense. I visited a huge cavern when we lived there, I think it was somewhere south of St. Louis, but I'm not sure. Forest Park is a beautiful area. Wash U :) only someone from there would call it that. Always cracked me up. It's a beautiful place for sure. Missouri is known for it's lead mines too.. Yes, like in Desloge, Park Hills. The most beautiful place is further south, around Arcadia. I've visited Ironton nearby. A shop owner told me Japanese businessmen are buying up land there. |

This phenomenon is especially prevalent in periods of war, when great efforts are made to stir the public’s emotions so that it unquestioningly supports the government’s policies.

While U.S. air and naval power would prevail, Iranian civilians would die, as some of their nuclear facilities are in populated areas. Moreover, we cannot kill the nuclear knowledge Iran has gained. Thus we would only set back their nuclear program by several years. And a bloodied and beaten Iran would then go all-out for a bomb. The regime, behind which its people would rally, would emerge even more entrenched. U.S. bombing did not cause Germans to remove Hitler or Japanese to depose their emperor. And we lack the ground troops to invade and occupy a country three times the size of Iraq. All U.S. ships, including carriers in that bathtub the Persian Gulf, would be at risk from shore-based anti-ship missiles and the hundreds of missile boats in Iran's navy.

The title to this thread? Do you think it implys I'm seeking answers? It might but I'd have to think about it because that wasn't what I planned on conveying. so I'm not sure if that's what you mean. That is a little crazy to say that considering I don't know any of these people For Real, and from the experiences that I have had with the ones I have gotten to know and the one I am having right now, I think its wise not to even get involved in Whatever This is, see ya I'm not accusing you of being apart of something bad. I think most of us hear believe in things like phycic attacks and things like that. I have thought for over a year now that the two members I'm referring to are apart of that kind of stuff and I happened to see them on your friends list. It felt like my duty to atleast inform you. Let me ask you a question LaPalma, if there is any truth to what I said wouldn't you want want to know ? |
