I have take the liberty to respond publicly such that my few comments
can be shared with all netters:

William Bramley, a lawyer in San Jose, has written a book called The Gods
of Eden that would tend to uphold many of the claims made in Stichin's work.
There is immense information that can be spun to support these theories.The
thesis of his work is as follows:

Human beings appear to be a slave race breeding on an islolated planet in a 
small galaxy.  As such, the human race was once a source of labor for an extra
terrestrial civilization and still remains a possession today. To keep control
over its possession and to maintain Earth as something of a prison, that other
civilization has bred a never-ending conflict between human beings, has promoted
spiritual decay, and has erected on Earth conditions of unremitting physical 
hardship.
Bramely states: " My intention was to go through history and see where you have
people profiting and benefiting from war who were not directly involved in it.
Just do a socialogical study...and maybe offer a solution to resolvint it - some
why to take the profit out of it."
His research led him away from financial and political profit, to idealology.
His study of religions seems to point to secret societies, and ultimately, to 
snake worshippers didication to the freeing of humanity from the snare of
the brutal "Castodians".

Put these tidbits together with the fact that the Vatican refuses to release
some of the Dead Sea Scrolls, reportedly because they detail man's early 
recorded history dealing with extraterrestrial interaction, and what is 
contained in a book called the Tahlmud Juhmal, and you get some very interesting
views of the origin of the human species on earth.
