Too good (bad) for tv



A really cheesy tv show pilot with Jack Black and a talking bike! An astronaut with super powers... aliens... b-movie aesthetics... produced by Ben Stiller... Too bad it was never aired.

Peace and prosperity


Did you know that the famous Spock salute is actually a Kohanim dinasty priestly blessing gesture? A Kohen is a direct male descendant of the Biblical Aaron, brother of Moses. During the existence of the Temple in Jerusalem, Kohanim performed specific duties vis-à-vis the daily and festival sacrificial offerings. Kohen descendants (Hebrew כּהן, "priest") have a special status at Synagogues. However, the honours given to the kohen during the Torah reading are not observed in Reform Jewish communities.

This is also the salute a heretical Jewish sect used to perform in the XVIII-century. The Sabbatians and the Frankists were followers of Jacob Frank and Rabbi Sabbatai Tzvi. Both self-proclaimed messiahs. However, the father of the Sabbatian movement became an Ishmaelite in 1666, to his followers' dismay! According to current affairs lecturer Barry Chamish, Sabbatians later joined the Bavarian Illuminati.

Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek was a 33rd Degree Freemason.
