Biafra in Crisis

A Crisis in Biafra

The following is a Chat conversation I had with a Journalist at Biafra Television International. This was not a formal discussion, but very informal in style and using some social media shorthand and the usual mistakes made trying to type on a telephone. Please read it for the information it provides with understanding about the conditions under which the chat was made.

(Me)-Would like to more more about the conditions - political, and who is the good guys and bad guys. Hope you have the time to help a person to understand the problems being described in your posts. Thanks, Robert Gross

1:01PM

(Journalist)-Yes.I'll Be Glad To Answer All Your Questions.But I Will Want To Understand More On What You Want To Know From Me.Are You Talking About #Biafra And Nigeria.Please Specify

(Me)-I want to hear more about the different adversaries that that are at odds in Biafra and Nigeria. I spent several months in Nigeria, mostly around Lagos and Port-Harcourt. Would also like to know the names of the different clans and tribes. I appreciate your help. Africa is beginning to blossom albeit with growing pains - but it seems to be doing a lot better than when I was there in the 1980's.

(Journalist)-#Biafra has been in existence for more than five thousand Years.Biafra Consists Of The Old Eastern Region Nigeria.They Are Decendants Of Israel (Jews) Residing Here In The Eastern Region Of Nigeria.The Are Happy,strong And Very Blessed Nation.With Many Human,solid And Mineral Resources.They Survived As On Great Nation,until 1914 When The British Came To This Place And Decided To Join #Biafra To Other Two Tribes Living In The Modern Day Nigeria.For The Purpose Of Satisfying Their Own Selfish Interest.But The Biafrans Refused To Be Amalgamated With The Other Two Tribes "Hausa" And "Yoruba" Who Are Muslims And Believe In Killing Anybody Who Do Not Believe In What They Believe In As Muslims.Besides They All Have Different Culture And Human Value System With The Biafrans.But They Were Forced Into That Unholy Marriage By The British.But When The British Saw That The Trio Are Like Oil And Water Which Can Never Mix,they Decided To Make An Agreement.

(Journalist)-The Agreement Was That After 100yrs,if Any Of These People Feels They Are Been Marginalized And Decides To Leave,they Will Be Allowed To Do So.But The Hausa's And Yoruba's Out Of Envy And Jelousy Against Biafrans Which As Hitherto Said Were Richly Blessed By G-d.Began To Marginalise The #Biafrans.With Various Series Of Genocides Against The Biafran People By The Hausa's (From The Northern Nigeria) And The Yoruba's (From Southern Nigeria).

(Journalist)-The First Recorded Genocide Against Biafrans Was In Jos,Plateau State (Northern Nigeria) In The Year 1945.To Make Matters Worst,the British Who Actually Created Nigeria For There Own Personal Interest Supported The Hausa's And Yoruba's (Nigeria) Against The Biafrans.The Killings Of Biafrans Continue Till 1966 When The Nigeria Government Came To Biafra Land And Massacred Over Five Thousand Biafrans.For No Just Course.Just Because The Don't Like The Biafrans.That Forced The Biafran People To Declare Themselves Independent From The Nigerian State.To Stop Further Killings

(Journalist)-The British Seen That Biafran Independence Spells Doom For Them.Because They Will No Longer Have Access To Biafra Oil Which Is Their Target For Keeping Nigeria One.

(Journalist)-They Declared War Against The Nation Of Biafra.Britian Lied To The World And The Believed Them And Joined Them To Wage War Against Biafrans.So Britain,Germany,Russia And Many Arab Nations Joined Hands Together To Fight Biafrans.To Them,they Believed It Will Take Less Than 3weeks To Wipe Away Every Living Thing In Biafraland.Because Biafrans Had No Weapon To Fight Them.But To Their Gratest Suprise,the Biafrans Resisted All Of Them And The War Lasted For 3yrs And Some Months.The Biafrans Fought With Anything They Can Lay Hands On Just To Avoid Going Extint Which Is What The British Wants Till Date.When The British And Nigeria Government Saw That Things Were Not Going The Way They Planned It,the Decided To Use Hunger As A Weapon Of Warfare Against The Biafra People.So They Blocked Both Land,Sea And Air So Relief Materials Couldn't Enter Biafraland

(Me)-I had no idea! It is a familiar story with the British though. India had the same problems with their overlords (The British). It wasn't until the Indians found a leader who was able to stand up to the British tyranny that they became independent.

(Me)-Just east of Port-Harcourt, I witnessed the special forces of Nigeria execute a village because they objected to the oil interest encroaching on their way of life. It was sad, But I understood from that day why we had to sleep in "safe houses". A government that isn't supported by the people is very unstable. When I was in Nigeria, there were the very rich and the very poor - no 'in-between's'. I wish you the best and want very much to learn more, and about the progress the Biafran's are making. Thank you very much, the national news doesn't give any background about the struggles of people just wanting to be free, or maybe they are just corrupted.

(Journalist)-And Over 3 million Biafrans Including Children And Pregnant Women Were Massacred During That Genocide "Nigeria Civil War" Between 1967-1970.When Biafrans Had Nothing More To Lay Hand On,they Surrendered.Then The Nigeria Government Siezed Every Property And Money Owned By Biafrans.No Matter How Rich Any Biafran Was Before The War,they Were All Given Only 20pounds.Yet Britain Lied To The World That There Were "No Victor,No Vanquished".Many Biafrans Who Resigned From The Nigerian Military To Fight For Their Fatherland (Biafra) Were Massacred,While Many Were Sent To Prison.And Nobody Seemed To Be Talking About Biafra Anymore And The Genocide Against Biafrans Continued Till Date.But Few Years Ago A Young Man By Name NNAMDI KANU,Who Happens To Be A Prince As Predicted By Nostrademus "The Man Who Saw Tommorow". NOTE: Search Google For More Details.

(Journalist)-Those People You Witnessed Their Death While In Nigeria Were Biafrans From The River-line Are Of Biafra.That Place Is Called Odi,a Town In "Bayelsa State",as It Is Called By Nigeria Government.

(Journalist)-When The Young Man Came Up And Decided To Fight For The Freedom Of His People,he Opened A Radio/ T.V Station Called Radio Biafra And Biafra Television Respectively.The Radio Station Is Based In London

(Journalist)-Visit www.Radiobiafra.co Or www.Biafratv.co .Now The Young Man (Nnamdi Kanu) Was Arrest By The Nigeria Government Since 14th October 2015 And He Has Been In Detention Under Heavy Torture And Hard Labour Since Then.Different Court Orders Has Been Given For Him To Be Released Unconditionaly,but The Nigeria Government Lead By Muhammed Buhari A Peadophile And Terrorist Who Raped A 9year Old Girl As A 45year Old Man.He Is The Founder Of The Deadly Terrorist Organisation Boko Haram And He Is Also Their Chief Sponsor.

(Me)-Thanks, do you mind if I post your remarks? I only have 155 FB friends, but chances are good that some of them will share those remarks. Popular opinion can help! As far as I know, the Biafran side of the story has never been publicized. The English speaking press dutifully omits those things that you speak about. Are there others that need to be heard?

(Journalist)-Now We The Biafran People Came Out On The Street To Have Peaceful Protest Against The Arrest And Illegal Detention Of Our Leader.Then The Murderous Nigeria Government Ordered The Police,Army And Navy To Shoot At Us.This Has Happened On Various Occassions.Between August 2015 Till Date Nigerian Government Has Commited Various Degrees Of Pogrom Against The Biafrans Some Of The Include:

• (1) 30th August 2015 At Onitsha
• (2)1st-2nd December 2015 At Onitsha
• (3)17th December 2015 At Onitsha(Which Am On Of The Victims)
• (4)14th January 2016 At Portharcourt
• (5)9th February 2016 At Aba
• (6)Our Mothers Were Also Shot At Awka,Anambra State Capital In February,date Unspecified And Many Of Those Who Went For One Of The Court Cases Of Our Leader In Abuja Were Also Arrested.
• (7)Asaba,Delta State April 2016
• (8)The Most Recent Is On 30th May 2016 At Nkpor.Where More The 500 Biafrans Were Shot.Almost 200 Died At The Spot While More Than 300 Sustained Bullet Wounds.

(Journalist)-To Make Matters Worst,the Nigeria Military Took Away The Body Of The 200 Unarmed Biafrans That They Killed,poured Them Raw Acid And Buried Them In A Mass Grave Inside The 302 Arttilary Division (Army Barrack) Onitsha.The Video Is Been Televised Everyday On Biafra Television

END of CHAT

Britain's "Nation Building" created chaos throughout the Middle East, India, and Africa. Everywhere they redrew borders and divided people using their military might is a lesson that I hope doesn't go unnoticed. What's done is done and hopefully will not happen again. The human misery from such actions is something that every peace loving person should pay attention to.

Bravo Donald Trump!

A Comment by Wayne Allyn Root: A former Libertarian Vice Presidential nominee, is one of the most popular political and media stars in America. His columns and commentaries are read at the biggest political & news web sites in America.

Bravo, Donald Trump.

Donald Trump just conducted a hostile takeover of the GOP from within. Trump just proved "The truth will set you free." The good voters of the GOP have been set free by the raw politically-incorrect truth of Donald Trump.

Trump has exposed the GOP establishment from Romney to Bush to Paul Ryan to Mitch McConnell. He's brought them out of their dark hiding places. It turns out the establishment GOP is really no different or better than the socialists, Marxists and America-haters on the other side- the Obama, Hillary, Bernie side. They are on the same team- just using different slogans.

As one of my best friends put it just yesterday, "If any of them were real Republicans they'd be using their shock, outrage and vitriol to attack Obama and Hillary and Bernie every second of every day. They'd be condemning the Democrats over this horrible economy. We're all drowning. Instead Republican leaders are in panic over Trump? Are you kidding me?"

Folks the U.S. economy is in free-fall. It's on the verge of total collapse. The middle class has been gutted like a fish. Obamacare has bankrupted the nation. Health insurance costs are wiping out the budgets of every middle class and working class household in America. That's why record low gas prices have done nothing for the U.S. economy.

There are no middle class jobs. We are being told unemployment is low at the same time food stamp use is near record highs. Do you think we're that stupid? Obama has created an entire economy for illegal aliens- the only jobs created are for cleaning toilets, mowing lawns, washing dishes, or serving drinks at a bar. Manufacturing has been destroyed- down for 15 months in a row- decent high-paying jobs have left the country. The border is wide open and illegals and terrorists are coming across in record numbers. We have $19 trillion in debt- the most in world history.

In response to this decay and decline of America under Obama, GOP establishment leaders like Paul Ryan have chosen to help Obama pass the Trans Pacific Partnership . . . refuse to put up a fight against Obama's executive order legalizing millions of illegal aliens . . . pass bloated trillion dollar spending bills that add dramatically to the deficit and national debt...and pass funding to bring 300,000 new Muslim immigrants into the USA.

And . . .

Donald Trump has them in desperation and panic mode, not Obama or Hillary or Bernie? Are you starting to sense something wrong here? "The fix" has been in. The GOP has never been on our side. Trump exposed the lies and fraud. He brought all the bad guys out of hiding.

The GOP's leadership isn't in panic over what's happened to the economy . . . or the border . . . or American jobs . . . or the middle class . . . or their last two losing presidential elections led by establishment candidates who stood for nothing . . .

Instead they are in panic over Donald Trump . . . a common sense Republican businessman who has brought millions of new voters to the GOP . . . who has incited passion, intensity, enthusiasm and record turnouts into the GOP race . . . who has brought working class Americans to the GOP for the first time . . . who has brought people who quit voting, or voted Democrat in the past two elections, back to the GOP. Trump has brought union members to the GOP, people who felt abandoned and hopeless are for the first time in their lives excited about voting for a GOP candidate. Polling indicates Trump could be the first Republican since Reagan to win New York state.

And this is bad? This is cause for panic? Desperation? Threats? This is worse than what Obama has done to the USA? This is more important than an economy in collapse? This is more important than the wholesale murder of the middle class and the death of mobility and the American Dream?

Thank God for Trump. He has exposed the GOP establishment as the frauds they are. They care nothing about America . . . or American jobs . . . or small business . . . or the middle class...or the working class. They care only about their own power . . . their billionaire donors . . . their own corruption and greed...their consultants, strategists, lobbyists and lawyers.

Trump is brilliant. He is a third party candidate from within the GOP. He is carrying out an internal hostile takeover of the rat-infested, corrupt, greedy, soul-less GOP. The establishment dynasty families that claim to be "Republican"- the Bushs, Romneys, Bloombergs (and many more not-so-famous billionaire donors)- are out. "Business as usual" is out. The gravy train is over.

This is why they are hysterical. This is why they are more panicked over Trump than what Obama has done to our economy and country. Trump has exposed their true colors. Trump has exposed their conflicts of interest. Trump has exposed their deception and fraud and corruption. Trump has exposed their lies. They were never on our side. They were never on our team. They were double agents all along.

This is why they are screaming hysterically like little children realizing the jig is up. They have lost their power. They have lost their piggy bank. And the way it happened is humiliating. Trump not only destroyed the old guard in a matter of months . . . with the media arrayed against him . . . with hundreds of millions of dollars of Super PAC money against him . . . with the powerful party apparatus against him . . . with the Republican National Committee against him . . . he did it by spending almost NOTHING.

Trump accomplished a GOP takeover from within. He finished what the Tea Party started. And he conducted this hostile takeover of the GOP without spending any money. The establishment is embarrassed and angry and in shock. Trump routed them, destroyed them, left them standing in a torrential rainstorm without shelter . . . without a rowboat . . . without even an umbrella. They are homeless.

It's OUR party now. Trump has given the GOP back to the people.

Reconsidering a Free Press

Commentary for Sunday 12/03/2006 Have the Press Abused Their Privileges

Democracy, and the 'free press': An idea whose time has come to be reconsidered. What a wonderful concept; that people, free and independent choose their leaders. But this is only image. Oh, to be sure, the voting public is voting for the people they want. The question is: How can a voter be assured that the image he voted for is real, or just hype? Candidates can say anything to get a vote, whether they mean it or not.

An open and free press should be the winnower producing factual information about the different candidates. Editorially, a newspaper or TV station can back any candidate of their choosing, but news items and campaign coverage should be neutral. Ideally, campaigns should be a contest over ideas, not a contest to see who is willing to strip the most from national treasury to win voters.

An ideologically monolithic press hurts everyone: The nature of political enthusiasm is such that the press has to be especially vigilant to not let the fervor of politics intrude on factual reporting. The use of phony documents to bolster a story on CBS comes to mind. Bear in mind that I completely exclude the opinion pages. That is where opinion belongs. When the news is slanted to favor a particular candidate, everyone loses. Bad images can be cast on anyone, and that skews the voter's decision when casting his vote.

And that reminds me of an old example of 'news skewing': The Republican and Democrats had a race, the Republicans won. The liberal Democrat paper headline read, "Democrats take second place, the Republicans came in next to last!" Truthful, but misleading. The point is, that our main sources of information need accuracy without the skewing of information. Leave the skewing and political fervor to the punditry, and opinion pages.

Again I ask: Do you feel comfortable in your democracy knowing that you are being manipulated by those entrusted with constitutional protection? How can the instituion of the 'free press' be strengthened so that you are not having to endure partizan politics in the news that you get? Is it even possible to prevent those in the press from spewing out venomous political rot that is masquerading as news?

Robert welcomes your comment to this or any other of my commentaries.

Holy War: The militancy of the Muslim religion makes fertile ground for those who are power hungry and use Islam as a tool to further their ambitions. Make no mistake, what is being fought in the Middle East is a holy war. Religion is the only basis for the commitment of the Muslim soldier. The Mullahs have groomed every young school aged child with a fervor for "Jihad".

Total Control: When I was in the Middle East, I was struck by the absolute power held over the populations by the Mullahs. It all starts in their schools, which are ran by the clerics, and they teach the Koran very forcefully to every child. Every child is indoctrinated (brainwashed) from a very early age. Upon completion of their training, they will willingly sacrifice themselves for Islam; they are soldiers for Allah. This training grants greater power to the Mullahs over the population.

Mullahs Wield the Power: So when a Mullah wants to extend his reach, he whips up his faithful ready built army, into a frenzy and away they go. Nothing is off limits to the army of Allah. They have no moral constraints against infidels. This tactic has conquered all of the Middle East, most of Africa and the southern Pacific basin. Presently the movement is making headway in Europe with significant Muslim populations in all European nations. They arrive with the consent of the host for their cheap labor, but through proselytizing and continued immigration, they achieve enough political muscle to usurp the resident government. The French are currently dipping their toes into this well and will eventually reap their reward.

Stopping the Spread of Fanaticism: The only way to stop this onslaught, is a national revival of our heritage. Should we ever lose pride in who we are, or fail to teach our children of their roots, then we as a freedom loving people are doomed to become what we are fighting in Iraq. Secularism helps to remove our national pride and identity. The Muslims have shot a cannon ball across our bow and if we don’t respond, it is only a matter of time before calamity visits this country. Democrats are the unwitting consorts for the destruction of this nation with their support for Secularism. Weaknesses of moral fiber, and a willingness to allow our schools to fall prey to political correctness, are the biggest offenders.

The Cheap labor Takeover: The USA is also guilty of allowing in cheap labor. Not in measured amounts but in large numbers which cannot be assimilated. These large blocks of people have no roots in our system or in our institutions, but are amassing sufficient numbers to recreate the systems, via the democratic process, which they left, to come here.

Asleep at the Switch

Exit Sleep:

Do we assume that less power is a substitute for more power? Manufacturing lighter, smaller fuel-efficient vehicles seems to be the remedy of choice for saving energy. Sounds good, but how much thought has really gone to this pie in the sky solution?

My situation may illustrate what I mean. When my son, their two children, and his wife come over for a visit, going anywhere together usually takes just the one SUV for a family outing. But a world without vans and SUVs would look a lot different. Instead of one vehicle, we now would have to take two. Plus, we would miss the family closeness of the outing. Using two vehicles would mean not only greater pollution, but also would degrade the way we interact with our family. Just a few of the nuisances of using two vehicles, and one of them is parking. More cars mean bigger parking lots (more concrete), and finding parking places close together would be a problem.

Safety is also a concern. Not long ago I bought a Chevy S-10 pick-up. The small four-cylinder engine did not have the power to accelerate fast enough for me to enter a busy street. But I saved a lot on gasoline. Mixed emotions; one part of me wanted to save on fuel, but after several close calls, I gave up on the small engine for one that allowed for a greater margin of safety. Putt putts have their place, but not on todays busy streets.

Then there is the effect on car-pooling. It will take several more vehicles to get the same number of people to work and back.

Electric cars anybody? Try heating and cooling a vehicle that will just barely get you to and from work without needing a recharge. Again, Liberal Elites force us to surrender some of our way of life for their empowerment. In a few short years, we will be wishing for some greenhouse gases as the Earth continues its cooling trend.

I am not opposed to saving energy, but carefully crafting our national energy policies will save us all a lot of grief. And in a lot of instances, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" Our failure to drill for and develop domestic energy resources will come back to bite us should our economy ever recover. There will never be enough wind to fuel our economy, and other so-called "green" sources are woefully short of the energy needed to maintain our way of life. But there is hope! Nuclear, clean coal and developing our oil and gas reserves can lift us out of the looming calamity.

Should we ever throw petroleum under the bus; the resulting economical disaster will be of such proportions that we could not recover. Can't you picture our industries trying to compete with the third world and their cheap petroleum based economies while we bask in the desert of our expensive "clean" energy? Just look at the industrial base that we have already lost to China. Now imagine things getting a lot worse because our remaining industries cannot compete. Can't you just picture our poor having to chase cows and other animals for their dung? Dung may become the only affordable fuel around!

I ask, why the headlong rush to kill our way of life? The global warming hysterics are just that, hysterics. But the rush to trade in carbon credits is real. Some people will profit heavily from the trading of carbon credits, but the average American will just continue to have to pay through the nose so that these profiteers can line their pockets.

What is really funny is that while the Earth is cooling, the global alarmists are now saying that the Earth is cooling because of global warming! Go figure.

Cheers,

-Robert-

Helping Africa

Commentary for Monday 02/26/2007

Missionary Work

The Good of Missions: I write this from personal experience about the missionary work in Africa.

'Operation Handclasp': During my days in the U.S. Navy, one of our missions was to deliver grain, toys, and books to the Horn of Africa. You would recognize any of the bags of grain, or boxes of the other items; they all had the emblem of the two hands clasping, which designated these items as part of the 'People to People' effort by Americans to the less fortunate in the world. Our part in this project was to deliver these supplies to several missions scattered throughout what was then called French Somaliland. I considered myself fortunate to have been one of the ones to help deliver this bounty to those missions. The experience was an eye opener and changed my opinion about missionary programs.

Feel Good Enterprise: The Missionaries are all sincere about wanting to help the poor. They feel like they are doing the Lord's work, and in most cases they are. These people put up with a lot of pretty sorry and dangerous conditions in order to carry out what they perceive is their life's work. So up front, I want to convey my admiration for this dedication to principle. My problem with these enterprizes is the results. The following is a summary of what happens whenever a group or a church opens up a mission.

Opening a Mission: It doesn't take long for the word to get around in the area that there is a new mission. The poor will congregate around the mission because they know that there is going to be food and some medical assistance. Like I said, feeding the poor is honorable, but making them wards of the mission is wrong. These people become totally dependent on these missions. The missions fully realize that there are a lot of people who won't eat unless they provide it. In U.S. churches there is always a portion of the receipts that go to a fund that helps the missions. It is this help along with goverments help that keep the missions supplied. And, no doubt if the missions were to leave, those who are dependent on the missions would probably starve.

A Different Direction: It doesn't have to be this way. The world has been donating relief supplies for decades and the situation has not improved. Part of the reason for the lack of progress is that the world is basically satisfying the needs of these people to the point that they have become wards of the world. Continuing to go down this path will only continue the same results.

Some Suggestions:

(1) Get these African Governments to institute some form of birth control. The China model is a good example.
(2) Have the scientific community come up with ways to irrigate enough of the dry areas to enable good farming.
(3) Establish a 'Core' of locals from each country to receive special education on food production. (A comprehensive education, not shake and bake).
(4) Starting with the missions, begin paying the locals for any of their harvest that they can sell, and establish markets for their products.

Rewarding: Making these people self sufficient rather than dependents would be a tremendous benefit for the African Citizens. The cycle of being dependent has to be done away with. The missionary's role would still be important but they would eventually get out of the food business. There are local traditions and superstitions that will need to be dealt with. The missionary community has only scratched the surface when it comes to helping with such huge concerns as education and stimulating the personal effort that these people are going to need. It is for certain they need more than soul saving and food hand outs to break the poverty-famine cycle.

Adventure Into the Weird Part 6 Gabriel World Posted on May 6,2014 Chronicles Part 6 If this is your first time here, you should first scroll down until you get to the title “Adventure into the Weird”. It is the start of this series. This series is not so much of an adventure as it is just descriptions of what has been passed on to me through dreams. The visions and revelations come to me from an alien race that I have named the Gabriel because of how I interpreted the pictorials of their description. No vocalization is in these dreams, only mental images that I try to decipher. Some of my interpretations may not be correct but it is all I have to work with. It is only because of the persistence of these nighttime images that I write them down at all. My descriptions are not meant to try and sell you on them, but instead, just record them for any value they may contain. It cannot be stressed enough the importance of a longer lifespan. It was what enabled journeys without relying on generations to make a trip. One of the main benefits of living long enough to make a trip was the maintenance of their known science and retention of knowledge about their culture. All too often, with generational travel, important information was lost or not taught to succeeding generations on their voyage. Many of their landing crafts would become the last homes of the ill prepared settlers. They were physically weak from not having the influence of gravity to help strengthen them for the gravity on the planet’s surface. Oh yes, there were rotating chambers aboard the ships to mimic gravity, but the daily training routines in them was considered bothersome and unnecessary by a lot of the voyagers. When the ships landed, gravity was overwhelming to any who had decided that training in the gravity chambers wasn’t necessary. Not all of them perished, but those who struggled with and eventually won the battle and became accustomed to the impact gravity; there was the ever looming prospect of having to survive. Survival meant having to discover which plants and animals were edible, sources for fresh water, and the thousands of other details concerning survival. Lost were the science, culture, and history of where they were from. As the generations passed, there was scant any memories of their beginnings as so much of their energies was expended on survival. Such were the conditions that the follow-up visits revealed. They found Earth to be a virtual paradise and that the remnants of the settlers had regressed to hunter-gatherer status. Compounding the problem in reacquainting these descendents with their past was the biologic nature of the Earth and those descendents. One of the penalties of the extended life enjoyed by the Gabriel was a loss of immunity to all but a small set of biological agents. They were extremely susceptible to contamination from practically all biologic life forms. They no longer ingested any form of the biologic system leaving their bodies defenseless with the introduction of foreign microscopic spores or bacteria. The diet that gave the Gabriel a longer lifespan was simple and did not require resident organisms in their gut to help break down complex biologic matter. Since those symbiotic relationships were no longer necessary to the Gabriel, their tolerance for biological substances decreased leaving them vulnerable to them. The discovery of what had become of the descendents of the original settlers to Earth was a shock. In a comparison to the Gabriel, one had advanced in a dramatic fashion and the other had regressed backwards to the time before the Stone Age. The human population had replaced logical pragmatism with a spiritually dictated persona. Direct contact with the humans while wearing their biological protective garb made the humans fearful and treated the garb encased Gabriel as gods. Also of note, the Gabriel had long ago forsaken vocal communications. Symbolical representations won acceptance as the preferred method of communication. Visual symbolism eventually replaced their vocal speech. Symbolized speech gave way to mental imaging. Brain research paved the way for DNA changes that made mental imaging possible. Over time, mental imagery became their preferred method for communicating. The most confusing thing to me was and still is how they can address a single individual in a crowd. Does each person have an address? It just seems logical to me that the mental channels would be very noisy – but they seem to communicate just fine. Auditory communications with the humans was not possible. The Gabriel tried but could not articulate the nuances of human speech. Imagery was their best method for communication other than demonstrations with their tools showing what could be done with them. But imagery was tricky and often was misinterpreted by the humans. Making matters worse, they had to find the appropriate time for imagery communication. The only time that the Gabriel could install an image into the humans was while the humans were either under hypnosis or in a deep sleep. The awake and alert human could not distinguish between his visual senses and the attempted communications by the Gabriel. The Gabriel took up the challenge of guiding the humans back to the realization of who they were. The task would be daunting, and recording their many missteps and successes is where I am at the present. I have only scratched the surface. There is so much to write and I have the problems of trying to record all of this faithfully to accuracy while leaving out my own biases. The beginning is next. We will visit the failures as well as the successes in the building of a civilization. Part 7 is just around the corner, we will speak again, soon.
