"And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him."
Revelations 6:8
"...While this conversation was going on we stood by his south wicket gate in a triangle. Turning to me, [Joseph Smith] said, “I want to tell you something of the future. I will speak in a parable like unto John the Revelator. You will go to the Rocky Mountains and you will be a great and mighty people established there, which I will call the White Horse of peace and safety.”
When the Prophet said, “You will see it,” I said, “Where will you be at that time?” He said, “I shall never go there. Your enemies will continue to follow you with persecutions and they will make obnoxious laws against you in Congress to destroy the White Horse, but you will have a friend or two to defend you and throw out the worst parts of the law so they will not hurt you so much. You must continue to petition Congress all the time, but they will treat you like strangers and aliens and they will not give you your rights, but will govern you with strangers and commissioners.
You will see the Constitution of the United States almost destroyed. It will hang like a thread as fine as a silk fiber.”
At that time the Prophet’s countenance became sad, because as he said, “I love the Constitution; it was made by the inspiration of God; and it will be preserved and saved by the efforts of the White Horse, and by the Red Horse who will combine in its defense.
The White Horse will find the mountains full of minerals and they will become rich (at this time, it must be remembered, the precious metals were not known to exist in either the Rocky Mountains or California). You will see silver piled up in the streets. You will see the gold shoveled up like sand. Gold will be of little value then, even in a mercantile capacity; for the people of the world will have something else to do in seeking for salvation.
The time will come when the banks of every nation will fall and only two places will be safe where people can deposit their gold and treasure.
This place will be the White Horse and England’s vaults.
A terrible revolution will take place in the land of America, such as has never been seen before; for the land will be left without a Supreme Government, and every specie of wickedness will be practiced rampantly in the land.
Father will be against son and son against father; mother against daughter and daughter against mother. The most terrible scenes of bloodshed, murder and rape that have ever been imagined or looked upon will take place. People will be taken from the earth and there will be peace and love only in the Rocky Mountains.
This will cause many hundreds of thousands of the honest in heart of the world to gather there, not because they would be Saints, but for safety and because they will be so numerous that you will be in danger of famine, but not for want of seed, time and harvest, but because of so many to be fed.
Many will come with bundles under their arms to escape the calamities for there will be no escape except only by escaping and fleeing to Zion... "

"Will the Constitution be destroyed? No: it will be held inviolate by this people; and, as Joseph Smith said,
"The time will come when the destiny of the nation will hang upon a single thread. At that critical juncture, this people will step forth and save it from the threatened destruction."
It will be so.
With regard to the doings of our fathers and the Constitution of the United States, I have to say, they present to us a glorious prospect in the future, but one we cannot attain to until the present abuses in the Government are corrected."

"And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee."

"Ezekiel tells us that Gog, the nation that will lead all of the other powers of darkness against Israel, will come out of the north.
Biblical scholars have been saying for generations that Gog must be Russia. What other powerful nation is to the north of Israel? None.
But it didn’t seem to make sense before the Russian revolution, when Russia was a Christian country.
Now it does, now that Russia has become Communistic and atheistic, now that Russia has set itself against God.
Now it fits the description of Gog perfectly."

"But I sat down because I knew authorities were wrong before, authorities could be wrong again.
And I went through the book.
And I went through the book.
The first thing I did was try to tackle that demographic study. And it was very dense. The prose was nearly impenetrable. And ... it was, it was three chapters and at the end there were these charts, these appendices where all the calculations were done. And I sat down with a paper, pencil and every night I would just work at it, after I came home from my job.
And maybe around 4 or 5 days into it, it's around 1:30 AM, I'm looking, I'm looking, I get that chill down my spine, my eyes begin to water, I realize the key number in those charts is a fake.
It wasn't a mistake, it wasn't an error, it was quite clear from how the material was organized, that the number was a fake.
And it was a kind of exhilarating feeling and as my good friend, the late economist, Paul later said to me, discovering a fraud is every scholars eureka. And this was my eureka moment.
I got up from my bed and I started to pace my little studio apartment type-setting for those of you who've been a graduate student and I said, ``I did it, I did it, I did it!!''
And of course, to use that new-age language, I wanted to find somebody to share the news with - it was 1:30 in the morning , but I am Jewish - and so I called my mother.
And, I said, `
`Ma, you wont believe it, I did it, I did it, I did it!''
and she said,
"I'm very happy for you.
I'm very proud of you.
What did you do?''

Kabalistic Gematria and the Myth of the Six Million
By Lazlo Toth
When someone is working a magic spell over you, the spell can easily be broken once you understand how the trick works. It is much like this with the Jewish Myth of the Six Million, which has successfully (after a couple of early 20th century false starts in 1919 and the early 1930s) been incorporated as an inviolable article of faith into the actual empirical history of WWII. If you understand the real processes concerning how the number of Jewish victims (or sacrifices) was arrived at, you will very easily be able to separate History from Myth, and there is a very significant difference between the two, no matter what travelling carnies and professional snake-oil salesmen like Elie Wiesel and Simon Wiesenthal may tell you.
THE HEBREW LETTER VAV AND THE NUMBER 6
This now well known six million number is, in fact, not a number from the world of empirical history, but one from the realm of Jewish mysticism and the Human religious imagination. It is a mystic multiple of the Hebrew letter Vav. The letter Vav (or Vau, Waw) = the sounds of the English letters V, W, or U, while numerically Vav (or Vau,Waw = 6 (as in the numeral six). This Kabalistically sacred number 6 is interpreted as representing the concept of cosmic completion, as in the number of days it took G-d to create the complete world. This number also signifies the 6 directions of space (north, south, east, west, up, down), and the 6 points on the Star of David. Within the cosmic completion notion attached to the number six, there is also the idea involving the completion of a circle or cycle, such as from exile to homecoming.
In the literature of the Kabala, such as the books of the Zohar, the number of 6,000,000 is considered to be the number of perfect soul times 10, with the number 10 representing the total number of Sephira, i.e. the divine emanations of G-d. Alef, the first letter of the first word of Creation = 1 or 1,000. (1,000 x 6 = 6,000 x 10 = 60,000 x 10 = 600,000 x 10 = 6,000,000). This mystic sexagesimal (60-based) system was most assuredly adopted by Jewish scribes during their sojourn in Babylonia. The Babylonians, of course, borrowed this mathematical system from the earlier Sumerians. The three separate multiplications by 10 in this calculation can also each represent one of the three points on the sacred triangle? The pre-Judaic fertility symbol represented by the star of David consists of two sacred triangles “the one pointing downwards represents water and the feminine principle, while the one pointing upwards represents fire and the masculine principle. In this fashion, the symbol of the Star of David can be interpreted to represent the Active and Passive principles of Creation united in harmony and equilibrium. In the books of the Zohar, the Hebrew letter Yod and the letter He, which make up the first two letters of the divine Tetragrammaton YHWH, also represent, respectively, the male and female principles of Creation. YH (Yah), of course, is the name of the original Canaanite deity that the idea of YHWH is based upon. The number 6 is represented in the Tetragrammaton name of the Deity by W (the letter Vav). In the Zohars Book of Concealed Mystery it is explained that, by means of utterance, the sound of the letter Y(od) creates the worlds as an idea in the Divine Mind, and then later, with help from the feminine principle of H(e), gives form to these ideas as fabricated material reality after receiving Light from V(av) (or W). This provides the triangular, triliteral, trilateral name of YHW (Yod, He, Vav/Waw). Adding the extra feminine creative principle represented by the letter He, gives the full, ineffable Tetragrammaton of the Deity’s sacred name “YHWH.”
PROCESSES OF KABALISTIC TEXTUAL INTERPRETATION
Aside from the multiple processes of Notariqon where every letter, or just the initials, medials, and finals, is taken to be a possible initial letter or abbreviation for another completely different word or Temura, where each letter in a word or phrase is substituted for either the letter that precedes or follows it in the Hebrew alphabet, one of the leading principles in the Kabalistic interpretation of sacred Hebrew texts is called Gematria. This involves a mystical analysis of sacred texts that operates according to various numerological principles. Every Hebrew letter has a sound as well as a numerical value, so by adding together all the numerical values of each letter in a word or phrase, different interpretations and analyses of a text can be arrived at. For example, the Hebrew letter Shin, with the sound sh, also has the numerical value of 300, which equals the total numerical value of all the letters in the phrase Ruach Elohim (RVCh ALHIM), the spirit (or breath) of the Elohim, from Genesis 1:2 “R = 200, V = 6, Ch = 8, A = 1, L = 30, H = 5, I = 10, and M = 40; TOTAL = 300. In this way, the letter Shin, with its numerical value of 300, is interpreted by the Kabalists as symbolizing the spirit (or breath) of the Elohim the God(s) It is this Kabalistic numerological process of Gematria which provides the prophetic Holocaust interpretation of a verse from the third book of Torah - Leviticus, Chapter 25: Verse 10. This six million number in the Jewish Holocaust narrative is a sacred numerological figure which was also spoken of by the 12th century Jewish philosopher Moshe ben-Maimon, or Rambam (Maimonides, 1135-1204).
and you shall hallow the fiftieth year. You shall proclaim release (liberty) throughout the land for all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee (Heb: yobel, a rams horn) for you: each of you shall return to his holding and each of you shall return to his family. (TORAH: Leviticus 25:10)
English translation from: TANAKH: The Holy Scriptures (The New JPS Translation According to the Traditional Hebrew Text). Philadelphia/Jerusalem: 1985, p. 196.
This phrase, you shall return, from Leviticus 25:10 is written in Kabbalistic versions of the Torah as TShVU. Grammatically, however, this phrase should have been written TShuVU, but the letter Vav, which should follow the letter Shin, is MISSING! Another part of this prophecy of six million burnt holocaust offerings, followed by a tribal homecoming, is formed by adding up the numerical values of this grammatically incomplete phrase.
Tav = 400
Shin = 300
Vet (or Bet) = 2
Vav (or Vaw, Waw) = 6
TOTAL = 708
When the year of the Hebrew calendar is written, the millennia number is always 5, and is therefore never written (a kind of short-hand), so the 708 in this case can be interpreted by the process of Kabalistic gematria as referring to the year 5708, which just so happens to equal the Christian calendar date of 1948, the year when the modern State of Israel was declared.
The phrase (repeated twice) in Leviticus 25:10 TaShuVU (you shall return) can now be interpreted according to the principles of Kabalistic gematria as “you shall return (lacking, minus, or without the 6[,000,000] in the year [5]708).
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.
Ezekiel 37
King James Version (KJV)
37 The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.
4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
5 Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
13 And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord.
15 The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,
16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions:
17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.
18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?
19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.
26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
28 And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
My own formulation is to use The Holocaust (1978 TV-Mini) to refer to the Public Myth of The Holocaust and Shoah to refer to the historical reality of the Jewish experience under National Socialism.
In this regard, Wikipedia articles such as "The Holocaust in Italian Libya", or "The Holocaust in Demark" are shown prima face to be clearly absurd.
But such an article does exist in both cases - in fact, in both cases, they reveal the extraordinary length that the Danes and Italian Fascist administration went to to preserve not only Jewish lives, but property as well, especially in the Libyan case in Benghazi - a state now dismissed out of hand as being amongst the "Arab Enemies of Israel".
But given the clear prejudicial bias of the titling, the fact of theexistence of the articles serves the falsification of history and the reinforcement of the Public Myth.
