Editor's Note:
There's nothing like a burst of news at a time when news generally slows down. Such was the case this past week. The week and the week we're now in is traditionally a slow time for significant news related to geo-politics, but in the wake of Russia's little war with Georgia, things didn't quite settle down as expected last week. Instead, Russia shoved Iran's nuclear program off to the side and stole the international spotlight with increasingly hostile rhetoric and an audacious move to strengthen ties with Syria. Russia's actions triggered a short burst of news, which at the moment suggested to me that perhaps we were entering a very dynamic news period earlier than I'd expected. Not to worry, though - Russia's activities calmed down by the weekend.
As such, my expectations for extra A-O coverage proved unneccesary as the week ended. It remains to be seen if this new week will provide a need for additional coverage or not. If so, A-O news coverage will ramp up again as needed.
I'll go out on a limb again and predict that this new week will be largely uneventful with American presidential politics the dominant subject. By making that prediction, I expect Murphy's Law will apply and once again I'll be knocking myself out with sleep deprivation in order to monitor developments. While I definitely do not mind the excitement, I could use some sleep this week, but I'm such a glutton for punishment that I cannot help but predict a quiet week so that I might be proven wrong and kept extra busy. We shall see.
The A-O Intelligence Digest weekly edition at The A-O Insider Report will post on Monday as I'm awaiting certain key intelligence details that have not yet arrived on the Russia-Syria Summit and I think it important to hold off until I've picked up more details on that critical event later tonight or early on Monday.
This past week, A-O provided several feature articles and news coverage so this weekends News Round Up may seem a little shorter than normal, only because we'd already posted a significant portion of news earlier than normal because of the urgent nature of the news. Still, take a look at the rest of the week's news as shown below.

Israel's Prime Minister Olmert announced that he would fly to Moscow, early next month to try and persuade Moscow to stop any weapons sales. More details, LINK HERE.

Mars, NASA, Babylon & The Illuminati
Noted, science researcher, Richard Hoagland has just begun to publish a multi-part expose on NASA, the Nazis and Babylon-America's space program. It's a publishing project that may well open your eyes to the deceptions of America's space program.
Hoagland presents material indicating that after World War II, key Nazi scientists were brought to America to assist in rocketry and missile development with a goal towards outer space exploration and military development. Hoagland points out the links between Nazi theology and the secret dogmas of inner Freemasonry that can be traced back to antiquity and Sumerian/Babylonian interaction with "extra-terrestrials" whom Hoagland claims were actually humans from another planet or planets.
Hoagland does not grasp the full Biblical aspects of his information, apparently unwilling or unaware to realize that there are still more layers of deception yet to be understood. Still, his writings make for interesting reading as he shows how certain scientific principles such as Newton's law of gravity are incorrect.
The series of reports on this subject matters has already published 2 separate chapters with more to be added in the near future. Here is a link to Part 1. Here is a link to Part 2.
