While these particular plates may have been somewhat similar to Chinese Mah-jongg tiles or even the message from fortune cookies fit for an emperor, it does not negate the possibility that ancient Israelites may have used a close proximity for encoding information with Adamic or Reformed Egyptian a...

President Smith must have thought that Obama, the result of a black man and a white woman, looked like a Greek or a Middle Easterner. Understandable, in addition, there was institutionalized racism against blacks and having a black president at the time was unthinkable. That's some amazing propheti...
