And his pardner Ras-Putin about th' same .

Dressed up in thar best knickers
Out ta lasso th' whole durned world and end th' game.

RAS-PUTIN
LAST LETTER: RASPUTIN
I write and leave behind me this letter at St. Petersburg. I feel that
I shall leave life before January 1st. I wish to make known to the Russian
people, to Papa, to the Russian Mother and to the children, to the land of
Russia, what they must understand. If I am killed by common assassins, and
especially by my brothers the Russian peasants, you, Tsar of Russia, have
nothing to fear, remain on your throne and govern, and you, Russian Tsar,
will have nothing to fear for your children, they will reign for hundreds
of years in Russia. But if I am murdered by boyars, nobles, and if they shed
my blood, their hands will remain soiled with my blood, for twenty-five years
they will not wash their hands from my blood. They will leave Russia. Brothers
will kill brothers, and they will kill each other and hate each other, and
for twenty-five years there will be no noblers in the country. Tsar of the
land of Russia, if you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that
Grigory has been killed, you must know this: if it was your relations who
have wrought my death then no one of your family, that is to say, none of
your children or relations will remain alive for more than two years. They
will be killed by the Russian people...I shall be killed. I am no longer
among the living. Pray, pray, be strong, think of your blessed
family.
Words written by Grigory Rasputin in a letter to
the Tsarina Alexandra, 7 Dec 1916. 23 days later, Rasputin was killed,
by two relatives of the Tsar Nicholas II. 19 months after Rasputin's death,
the Tsar and his family lay dead.
Rasputin was led to the cellar and fed poisoned cakes
and wine, but these didn't affect him. Yusupovsky then shot the monk at point
blank range and Rasputin collapsed on the floor. When Yusupov went to tell
his fellow conspirators the good news, they sent him back to make sure he
had done the job. On returning to inspect the body, Rasputin suddenly regained
consciousness and started to throttle poor Yusupov, who needless to say was
completely scared out of his wits. The Prince fled the cellar, screaming
for help; when they returned Rasputin was gone. They found him in the yard
crawling towards the gate and proceeded to shoot and bludgeon him. They then
bound him and tossed him into the river. When Rasputin's body was found,
his bonds were broken and his lungs were filled with water, showing that
he didn't actually die until he was submerged in the frozen waters.
CHASING SMOKERINGS
STAR NAMES:
I've compiled a table of 271 commonly known star names and their definitions
in the Western tradition, grouped by constellation. The Latin constellation
names are given along with their 3-letter abbreviation, genetive form, and
translation. Following each constellation entry are any named stars found
therein (in order from brightest to faintest), listing the Bayer (Greek letter)
or other common designation, the star name, and English translation.
DRACO (Dra, DRACONIS): the dragon
BETA/ Dra /Rastaban/ "head of the snake"
Names: Ras Tafari and Rastas
While it is most often associated with dreadlocks, smoking of marijuana
and reggae music, the Rastafarian religion is much more than simply a religion
of Jamaica. With its beginnings in the Jamaican slums, Rastafarianism has
spread throughout the world and currently has a membership of over 700,000
(The Rastafarians: Sounds of Cultural Dissonance, Leonard E. Barrett, Sr.,
p. viii).
On November 2, 1930, Ras Tafari Makonnen
was crowned king of Ethiopia. Upon his coronation, he claimed for himself
the titles of "Emperor Haile Selassie (Power of the Trinity) I, Conquering
Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Elect of God and King of the Kings of Ethiopia"
(Ethiopia and Haile Selassie, Peter Schwab, editor, p. 11).
Erasmus (a root name) means "loveable"

I do not know who to write ....but maybe someone can pass
it on...TO THE PROPER person. I do not have a scanner as I have WEBTV, but
if a copy of a bust of Nero and a picture of Clinton can be overlaid...you
will see they look like twins....Clinton 's family can be, and has been traced
back to Nero's family....You can get the facts and pictures from
