INSECTS CAN SAVE OUR WORLD

insectsAre humans the “center of the universe”?  Do you believe that the species “homo sapiens” is the dominant life form on Earth?  Are humans created “in the image of god”?  Factually, if god looked like the most numerous species on Earth, god would be an insect!

There are more than 200 million insects for each human on the planet. The world holds 300 pounds of insects for every pound of humans.  At any time, it is estimated that there are some 10 quintillion (10,000,000,000,000,000,000) individual insects alive.

It has long been recognized and documented that insects are the most diverse group of organisms (on Earth), meaning that the numbers of species of insects are more than any other group.  In the world, some 900 thousand different kinds of living insects are known. This representation approximates 80 percent of the world’s species. Most authorities agree that there are more insect species that have not been described (named by science) than there are insect species that have been previously named. Conservative estimates suggest that this figure is 2 million, but estimates extend to 30 million.”

However, as far as human survival is concerned, all of humanity could easily be fed using insects as food.  Insects have more nutritional value for humans and livestock than most foods and are abundant and inexpensive to produce!

HOW THE INTERNATIONAL BANKING SYSTEM CONTROLS PRISON PLANET EARTH

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Alien Interview - Way Back Home“1307 AD — The Knights Templar was disbanded by King Philip IV of France, who was deeply in debt to the Order. He pressured Pope Clement V to condemn the Order’s members, have them arrested, tortured them into giving false confessions, and burned them at the stake in an effort to erase his debt by seizing all of their wealth.  A majority of the Templars fled to Switzerland where they established an international banking system which secretly controls the economy of Earth.  “Old Empire” operatives act as an unseen influence on international bankers. The banks are operated covertly as a non-combatant provocateur to covertly promote and finance weapons and warfare between the nations of Earth. Warfare is an internal mechanism of control over the inmate population. The purpose of the senseless genocide and carnage of wars financed by these international banks is to prevent the IS-BEs of Earth from sharing open communication, cooperate together in activities that might enable IS-BEs to prosper, become enlightened, and escape their imprisonment.” — excerpted from the book  ALIEN INTERVIEW

The following “BEST DOCUMENTARY OF 2010” describes the factual details of how BANKERS control and enslave the human population of Earth.  This film may save your life and the lives of billions of people who will be murdered INTENTIONALLY by the covert, secret, hidden activities of PRIVATE BANKS (like the Federal Reserve Bank in the US and the International Monetary Fund, etc..)

100 (OR SO) BOOKS I HEARD IN 2016

Author Image  100 (OR SO) BOOKS I HEARD IN 2016

I have written 8 books personally.  (See my author profile (https://www.lulu.com/spotlight/pan)   I also edited and published the international best selling book Alien Interview. (Get this audiobook FREE)

As a writer I am a reader.  I usually read (or re-read) at least 100 books a year.  I am 70 years old now and have developed severe arthritis is my neck which prevents me from reading printed books.  So, I download and listen to audiobooks from AUDIBLE.COM. I have discovered the experience of audiobooks to be much more satisfying than reading printed books.  What can be better than a well written story read to you by a professional voice talent?!  Anyway, I want to share with you a list of audobooks I listened to during 2016.  As you can see from the list my preferences lean heavily toward Fantasy, Science Fiction, Metaphysics and History.  Each book is a universe created by the “author gods” of Earth: universes of infinite imagination and fascination.
