"APRIL 11, 2005 -- A FEW WORDS FROM CONSTANCE CUMBEY

April 11, 2005: Most curiously (on Wikipedia, not here!) I tried to begin a column on my personal user page

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cumbey

and found myself 'logged out' without having 'logged out' after visiting another Wikipedia page to obtain a link. The user pages of my two main tormentors on Wikipedia are internally linked as on Wikipedia as "SqueakBox" and "One Salient Oversight" and are externally linked as follows:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:SqueakBox
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:One_Salient_Oversight

These two, particularly SqueakBox (well named, isn't he?) have mercilessly worked to vandalize and delete my work even on other boards such as Wiki Global Alert. Then they added links to those going beyond my work to create a cartoon caricature effect of my work. Anytime I tried to defend myself on the board, Squeakbox and his numerous allies (dare I call them 'sockpuppets'?) came back whining about 'personal attacks' and erased my work while posting the curiously defective worded SqueakBox versions. I say curious because his true writing name has fully written articles with rich detail and properly spelled paragraphs and worded sentences, unlike his claimed 'machete blow to the head' handicap excuse here. http://www.marrder.com/htw/nov2000/cultural.htm

As a scholar on Solana, at this point, I may be without peer. I have read virtually everything written by him and much of it about him. I have read speeches by his brother, Luis Solana; his mother Nieves Matthews' book on the life and career of Sir Francis Bacon, several books by his grandfather, Salvador de Madariaga de Rojo, and a book by his Aunt Isabel de Madariaga on the life of Catherine the Great. I have followed his activities on nearly a daily basis via the internet since November 22, 1995, the night of an insomniac attack when I happened to discover his beginning Barcelona Process and a little more than a week later, the beginning of his NATO tenure.
Although Squeakbox, One Salient Oversight and the rest of their comrades have attempted to rewrite or obfuscate history, the following facts remain:
1. Solana's initial power base was the 15 nation European Union AND the TEN NATION WESTERN EUROPEAN UNION. Squeakbox claimed on one of his pages that he deleted the ten nation reference because it was "an evidence" that Christians could take as "the ten horns" of Daniel and Revelation;
2. Solana did conclude and sign a treaty with Israel on November 20, 1995, two days before I made his internet acquaintance.
3. Two days after the treaty was signed, the Red Sea resort area of Israel (Eilat) and surrounding Egyptian country was struck by a massive earthquake -- one like much of the material I have placed on Wikipedia, was evidently the recipient of historical revisionism. Within a week, the 7.2 mw quake was downgraded to one only 6.2 in strength.

By the way, the actual strength of that quake was 7.2 as observed by the United States Geological Service in Golden, Colorado and the University of Michigan and University of Ohio joint seismic research center. The Ontario earthquake research center recorded its intensity as even a much stronger 7.3 mw. Its depth was such that it was considered a true global quake. If you would like to view those plates, email me your 'snail mail' address to cumbey@yahoo.com and I'll send you a PowerPoint Presentation CD Rom with that and many more interesting facts and references on Javier Solana.

Interestingly, the apparently Israeli based time line in addition to downplaying the true strength of the November 22, 1995 earthquake, also omits the November 20th signing of the Treaty of Association between Israel and the European Union, a vital component of the European Union's Barcelona Process and current European Neighborhood Policy. Why it was omitted is a matter of interesting speculation.

You may read all about the treaty and the Barcelona Process by clicking the link immediately below:

n the latter account was the Treaty signing of November 20, 1995.

I have placed these comments here for the benefit of those who believe Wikipedia to be a credible resource. I have noticed these things happening:

1. SqueakBox's personal attacks on me continue to stand.
2. My defenses are usually struck as 'personal attacks' on Squeakbox'
3. SqueakBox has been allowed to erase my work both on the Solana page and user comments with impunity;
4. When I deleted the personal attacks SqueakBox placed upon me, they were restored and my IP address was temporarily banned for 'vandalism' even though deleting personal attacks is allowed under Wikipedia policy (or so SqueakBox says if it is me writing about his considerable attacks upon yours truly).

This reminds me of episodes I had on Prodigy with a coven of on-line self-confessed pagans and witches back in the late 1980's. One of their number wrote me claiming to be a Christian who had read both my books. She urged me to jump to the Art section and post there, which I naively did. Then I was set upon by the community. The discussion centering about my posts grew quickly to one of the largest sections on all of Prodigy. Hours of time were wasted by me nightly in answering their verbiage cum garbage. Then somebody sent me a link to show where they were bragging about dissipating my energies and writing time by their antics. I hopped over there, and cut and pasted their comments to my private BBS. I decided to leave Prodigy and left them bewailing the loss of their fun.

For many of the same reasons, I have started my own column elsewhere on the web. No, it isn't a website. I have neither time nor resources to maintain it. You may find what I do have by clicking the following link http://www.cumbey.blogspot.com

I firmly expect that both the Rastafarians and the Christian false brethren will follow me over there. So be it. If ignorance reigns about Javier Solana, I don't want it to be my fault. If they want it on their eternal shoulders, that's their choice!

Oh, and by the way is Javier Solana either/or the 'anti-Christ' or the 'prophesied destroyer of the Jews of Daniel? Dunno -- your guess is as good as mine. It's just that from where I currently sit, he might be an educated guess. But then again, so was Hitler.

Only time -- and events -- will tell!
