Please go to Part-2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcpFtSahbBw
…for the remaining four (4) minutes of this full length video that shows the first images of the SCEDULED IMPLOSION of WTC7 and an illustration to evidence the manner in which the FIRST ‘original’ Pearl Harbor achieved full occupation and acquisition of the Pacific… and the ‘resistance’ to the German Nazi’s provided an ALLIANCE to accomplish the same in Europe… the primary steps necessary to the supplemental steps that today bring us that much closer to the NEW WORLD ORDER… coming SOON to a Country near you!
As a medically retired Fire Captain, Training Officer, Fire Investigator, Fire Prevention Officer and Hazardous Materials Specialist INSTRUCTOR [To teach firefighters to consider the unthinkable, "Who might I SAVE if I do NOTHING!?!"] …who has had both the lives of those who relied heavily on me for competent, prudent direction as we all risked our lives for the very lives we committed ourselves to SAVE! …the events of 911 affected me in ways few outside the fire service will likely ever understand.
Every First Responder learns in the moments of extreme STRESS, though we may EXPERIENCE every detail of an event, we are only able to fully comprehend and interact with what our minds are PREPARED to deal with and thus able to process. Children are the prime example, but emergency personnel must WORK to break this natural ‘Tunnel-Vision’ reaction AFTER regular and repeat exposure to high levels of STRESS which in turn makes us more effective to OBSERVE ‘more’ details at the next emergency incidents. Only the well seasoned catch ‘most’ of the details as lives are hanging in the midst.
Just ask any attorney who admits he would think twice about stopping to help his own mother as she ‘bleeds-out’ while she hangs upside in a car accident as he drives by on his way home from an afternoon of golf out of PURE FEAR of responsibility of being SUED for exactly what he has does everyday to justify ‘NEGLIGENCE’ against those [of 'US'] for not ‘interacting’ to the level of our ‘training’ when we’re in the middle of total CHAOS and he is in his perfect element (the SAFETY and SECURITY of an UNREALISTIC CONTROLLED courtroom presentation) months later!
The morning of 911 was no different! I EXPERIENCED the SAME FIVE (5) airplane crashes as you… but EXACTLY as you listen to them here… perhaps for the FIRST TIME EVER! …even though it was broadcast on literally EVERY network internationally via the AP [Amateur Propaganda] ‘NET-WORK.’ I was able to hear every word as you listen to this video but only after years of prior experience in which the SAFETY of my crew demanded I LISTEN and COMPREHEND literally every syllable on my two-way radio regardless of how much BLACK SMOKE plumed from the horizon or the depths of screams that were heard in the background of every transmission from the on-scene units ahead of me as victims lie in the wake of absolute PERIL and DANGER.
Perhaps you missed the incredible COINCIDENCE of the DATE (911) and TARGET [Camp David] which was emphasized REPEATEDLY to bring the whole day’s events together as one [SELF-IMPOSED] ‘TERRORIST’ ATTACK to point that all mighty CONVICTING finger once again at the world’s most notorious fugitive - President George H.W. Bush’s own BILLION DOLLAR CARLYLE GROUP BUSINESS ASSOCIATE - Mr. Osama bin Laden himself!

…and the words of the leaseholder of the WTC complex himself at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ9BofDUXv0
I ask anyone, “Why would anyone fabricate anything when first asked to comment on what they experienced first hand… what they saw… or would even think twice upon being INSTRUCTED (media commentators) what to state… especially AFTER the TRUTH was revealed!?!”
For eight (8) hours ‘THEY’ referenced Camp David because they UNKNOWINGLY made such a BIG DEAL about something that unfortunately NEVER OCCURRED that first hour… but was VITAL to maintain the MYTH… until ‘THEY’ had no choice AFTER the TRUTH was exposed! …and then dropped all FALSE ALLEGATIONS as quickly as they were presented as any reference to this ‘INCREDIBLE COINCIDENCE’ by day two (2) was completed eliminated BEFORE your ‘awareness’ to look beyond the immediate needs of your family were just beginning to become restored.
But No, wait a minute! It was four (4)! No, ‘THEY’ said FIVE (5) but MEANT only four (4)! No, ‘THEY’ retracted that an HOUR LATER and said there were only Four (4) PERIOD! Oh! You’re right! ‘THIER’ PRE-WRITTEN SCRIPT…
[Just as the LIVE CNN and BBC PRE-MATURE REPORTS that WTC7 HAD 'mysteriously fallen' BEFORE it had actually been 'PULLED!')
Please go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GEAnn3uN30
...to describe the plane [RADIO CONTROLLED DRONE! JUST GET OVER IT FOLKS! We have HAD this TECHNOLOGY for DECADES!!] …that ‘continued’ the same RADAR flight path of Flight 93 back to the East.
[The ACTUAL Flight 93 LANDED SAFELY in Cincinnati and ALL passengers were disembarked under a Bomb-Threat as evidenced by the REQUIRED PUBLIC RECORD of the MUTUAL AID response from the City of Cincinnati to Hopkins Airport for resource support!]
A single engine DRONE that was SHOT DOWN over the skies of Shanksville, thus scattering debris over 4 miles and leaving one (1), single, very, very SMALL HOLE!
[Not anywhere large enough to fit any portion of a Boeing 767 and absolutely NO bodies for the Somerset County Coroner to investigate let alone search and recover! His job was done in less than twenty (20) minutes!]
The alleged Flight 93 simply never reached it’s SCHEDULED and REPORTED ‘SMOKING GUN’ TARGET - Camp David! The PERFECT site as another patch of SACRED GOVERNMENT REAL ESTATE was going to be utilized so no other NON-CONNECTED ‘YES SIR/MAM’ GOVERNMENT officials would be questioned for ELIMINATING the DEBRIS of yet another CRIME SCENE as we witnessed ‘OFFICE EMPLOYEES’ pick-up each PIECE of EVIDENCE in a perfect sweeping Grid-Search of the lawn area in front of the Pentagon!
Just as ‘THEY’ did at Ground-Zero where the PIECES of the bodies of my comrades (protected within their shock resistant Kevlar Turn-Out gear) were thrown into a disposal pile and hauled off on trucks with the rest of the CRIME SCENE DEBRIS to be sold off as SCRAP! …while my fellow firefighters were held back at FEDERAL Gun-Point as they observed this from the HIGH Security fence line and screamed, “THAT’S MY BROTHER!” “HE DESERVES A FORMAL BURIAL!”
But each firefighter was WARNED to remain PEACEFUL or else! No, this did NOT make headlines on our MAINSTREAM media! …but an OUTRAGE in the face of every Commission Report believing indoctrinated ignoramus who refuses to consider let alone accept these FACTS!
Reality is HARD! Don’t even go there with me that I am in left field! If you have something to state that is backed by actual Laws of Physics and disproves any reference I make here, I am all ears!
Otherwise, return to your hole as the rest of us acknowledge many other FIRSTS in HISTORY including three (3) separate steel reinforced structures that EVER collapsed due to fire and an unprecedented ‘Stand-DOWN’ order to NOT intercept the alleged hijacked commercial aircraft…
[No visible passenger windows, a re-fueling pod discharge port at the tail, and an EXTRA 'baggage compartment' [MISSILE POD] CONVENIENTLY attached to the bottom of the fuselage adjacent to the Starboard wing!?!]
…traveling off-course as proven by for the IMPOSSIBLE longest NON-Intercept response time than any other ‘in-flight’ emergency in aviation HISTORY… EVER! Just imagine waiting an hour or so for your ‘local’ fire department to respond to your 911 call! Doesn’t this happen every day!?!
IGNORANCE plays an incredible role in the indoctrinated minds of the masses who only want PEACE of mind in exchange for their hard earned money to make ‘em FEEL SAFE!’
Literally no REAL FDNY personnel questioned entering 1300 feet BELOW the fire floors KNOWING only the TOP building of the three (3) separately stacked buildings were involved! Yes! WTC 1 & 2 [TOWERS... not buildings) were comprised of six (6) completely separate buildings... three (3) in each! Just look at nearly every photo! You can clearly see the separation lines between each separate self-contained stacked BUILDING!
I do NOT like what I now KNOW as TRUTH, I base my position ONLY ON FACTS. ...but what can I expect from my learned abilities as a trained Fire Investigator/Peace Officer and that as a trusted Crew Leader [LIFE MOTTO: No one EVER gets hurt on my shift!] caused me to discover! I can’t refute twenty-two years of service, training, and experience which has now forced me to swallow an extremely revealing, unavoidable ‘RED PILL!’
Just like learning there is NO Santa Clause, there is no unsubstantiated, ignorant, hearsay, third party (Oh please, just believe the majority and be happy sell-out attitude…) evidence or any feeble attempt to indoctrinate me will ever get me to turn back!
I KNEW by noon that day it could only be an INSIDE JOB! WTC 7 only further confirmed that for me at 2:00pm PDT. GOD be with us all! Just wait ’til you see what’s coming next to justify IRAN! Ask President Bush why he is boosting our troop strength in Iraq and Afghanistan? Because we can’t hit IRAN with everything we have until our STRENGTH is adequate… we are almost there! Just listen to FAIRY TALE events on the mainstream media as we inch closer everyday!
Know I searched high and low, near and far to find PEACE… only to find what has now forced me to accept a reality I now know as TRUTH. …yet as I will always remain all ears to any TRUE EVIDENCE you have to the contrary! Just don’t try to ’share’ some line of ‘&#$@’ RHETORIC that fits YOUR MOMENT that you know in your heart you can neither fully articulate nor present the FACT(s) there of to verify same!
I will never change as I despise ALL who remain ‘Politically Correct’ just to BE exactly that… to fit in the proper crowd where life can be a SAFE facade. I have and will never respect such individuals! In the meantime, shut the ‘@%$&’ up and plug yourself back into your umbilical cord!
Do us all a favor, melt a metal coat hanger with a Bic Lighter, then we’ll talk!
The MATRIX is a CHOICE! ‘WHO’ are you!?!

This is the biggest island in the Mediterranean, separated from the Italian peninsula by the strait of Messina. It has important mountain groups: Peloritani, Nebrodi, Madonie, Iblei. The coasts offers a landscape of beauty almost everywhere; groups of smaller islands are scattered round the coast (the Eolie or Lipari, Ustica, the Egadi. the isle of Pantelleria and the Pelagie). The Etna, rising in the center of a volcanic area of Sicily, is the highest active volcano in Europe (3,323 mt). The isles of Stromboli and Vulcano also are active volcanoes.

PALERMO
Historical Palermo sits compactly around one central crossroads, the Quattro Canti, which is at the core of four distinct quarters. The Albergheria and the Capo quarter, the latter beyond the cathedral, lie roughly west of Via Maqueda; the Vucciria and old harbour of La Cala and the La Kalsa, lie to the east, closest to the water. In these areas you’ll find virtually all the surviving ancient monuments and buildings of the city: the hybrid Norman-Arab-Baroque Cattedrale Sannta Maria Assunta and nearby Palazzo dei Normanni (Royal Palace), with its superb, mosaic-decorated chapel, the Cappella Palatina; the
glorious Norman churches of La Martorana and San Giovanni degli Eremeti; the Baroque opulence of San Giuseppe dei Teatini.
Located in the center of Palermo, near Via Libertà.and Piazza Croci, Villa Trabia is one of the few aristocratic homes open to the public.
This estate, which is now owned by the City of Palermo, houses civic offices and a public library. The palace is set in a beautiful wooded park open to the public most days. Built for the Prince of Trabia (Lanza family) in the eighteenth century,
Villa Trabia provides a glimpse of the lifestyle of the Palermitan aristocracy of that era. Just outside Palermo you may
visit the La Favorita and La Zisa villas and the Capuchin Convent, with its catacombs. http://www.sensationalsicily.com/palermo.html
Castelbuono: visit the church Matrice Vecchia and the Ventimiglia castle.
Cefalù with its many beaches is an ideal place for a holiday. In town visit the Cathedral, richly decorated with mosaics, the
Museum Mandralisca and the Sanctuary of Gibilmanna.
Monreale: this town overlooks the “Conca d’Oro,” the beautiful valley beyond Palermo and is is world-renowned for its
cathedral - S.Maria la Nuova, a dazzling mixture of Arab, Byzantine and Norman artistic styles framed by traditional
Romanesque architecture. The beautiful mosaics in the cathedral are said to be one of the world’s largest displays of this art and take 6,340 sqm of the duomo’s interior surface, covering practically every inch. The masterpiece and key representation is the domineeringly majestic Christ Pantocrator located on the central apse over the main altar. The entire image is 13 meters across and seven meters high.The splendid cloister of the Benedictine abbey alone would make Monreale famous. Located next to the cathedral, these 228 columns, some with mosaic inlay, each with a meticulously stone carved capital, enclose the gardens of the abbey and are really worth a visit.
Mondello is a most renowned seaside resort, few kilometres from Palermo with crystal clear water and rich underwater vegetation and caves.
Ustica: This is a solitary island (36 miles from Palermo), which has recovered its nature resources thanks to the Marine
Reserve that protects its extraordinary seabeds. The under-water flora and fauna are multiplying their species and they can
all be visited with guided tours.
AGRIGENTO - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZr3PHeapSc
Located on a plateau overlooking Sicily’s southern coast, Agrigento was founded as Akragas around 582 BC by a group of
colonists from Gela, who themselves were the immediate descendants of Greeks from Rhodes and Crete. Akragas was renamed
Agrigentum by the Romans, and Girgenti by the Saracens, only to be christened Agrigento in 1927. At the southern limit of the
ancient city, in the so-called “Valley of the Temples”, the city architects erected their sacred buildings during the fifth
century BC. The oldest of Akragas’s temples is the Tempio di Ercole, the other ones are the Tempio della Concordia, dated to
around 430 BC and perfectly preserved, Tempio di Giunone, Tempio di Giove and the so-called Tempio dei Dioscuri. The medieval
city of Agrigento is not without a certain charm. High in the historical center of the city, the Romanesque Gothic cathedral,
built during the fourteenth century, still displays some of its medieval character, as does the thirteenth-century Church of
San Nicola. Also visit the S.Spirito Abbey and the Museo Archeologico Regionale. http://www.sensationalsicily.com/agrigento.html
Canicattì: From Agrigento you may easily reach this town, famous for its grape variety Italia. Visit the church of S. Diego,
the Chiesa del Purgatorio, typical of the 18th century, and the richly decorated Chiesa di S. Francesco. Amongst the many
beautiful monuments in Canicattì, there is the Mother Church of S.Pancrazio, home to precious pieces of art, like a marble
statue representing the Ecce Homo and a painting of the Holy Family with S. Anna and S. Gioacchino. Also the Castello
Bonanno, the Torre dell’Orologio (clock tower), the Palazzo of Baron La Lomia and Palazzo Bartocelli.
Palma di Montechiaro: founded in 1637 by Prince of Lampedusa Carlo Tomasi. One of his descendants, namely Giuseppe Tomasi of
Lampedusa, was the author (1958) of the celebrated novel The Leopard, successively adapted into a film by director Luchino
Visconti, about the decline of an aristocratic family of Palermo between 1860, year of Garibaldi’s Exploit, and 1910. You can
still visit the Castle of Montechiaro at the top of a rocky cliff.
Porto Empedocle: in the Località Caos you may visit the home of Luigi Pirandello.
Naro has many baroque churches and the Chiaromonte castle.
Sciacca: a thermal town where you can visit the Cathedral, S.Margherita and the Steripinto, a particular building of the xv
century.
Caltabellotta: in this old town have a look at the churches of S.Agostino, S.Salvatore and the Chiesa Madre.
Lampedusa: This small (20 km2 ) calcareous island, scorched by the hot sun all year round and characterised by its
African-type landscapes and by the “dammusi” (stone houses), is surrounded by the most transparent Mediterranean waters. The
main attraction of Lampedusa is the great solitude of this island and the strong contrast between the aridity of its land,
covered with Indian figs, agaves, carobs and low bushy scrub on one hand, and the sharp colours of an extremely crystal-clear
sea on the other. Also Linosa, another island, but of vulcanic origin, is worth a visit; its populated area is represented by
a little village dominated by the typically “dammusi”. Lampione - uninhabited crag with a lighthouse, it lies 20 miles from
Lampedusa, can be reached only from there.
CATANIA
A splendid Baroque City at the slopes of the Etna, from the eighteenth century on, Catania has been considered the second
most important city of Sicily. Subjected to the Etna Vulcan, this town has been damaged by lava flows and earthquakes on
several occasions. The city has two Roman amphitheatres, one which was built on a pre-existent Greek one and the other which
is a completely Roman structure.
Visit the Ursino Castle, built on the orders of Emperor Frederick II von Hohenstaufen in the first half of the thirteenth
century, and now a museum open to the public. The oldest part of the Duomo (Cathedral) dates back to 1092; it hosts the tombs
of Frederick III of Aragona, who ruled from 1296-1337, and the one of Constance, wife of Frederick IV of Aragona. Most of
Catania’s wide streets and palazzi were built during the eighteenth century, a characteristic is the gray, volcanic stone
used in the buildings. This was the period in which noble families from across eastern Sicily, used to build palazzo in
Catania, beginning a subtle social and economical rivalry with Palermo. The two most famous citizens are S.Agata, the martyr
patroness of the city and Vincenzo Bellini, the opera composer. Stroll through Via dei Cruciferi and visit the churches of
S.Benedetto, S.Giuliano and S.Niccolò. http://www.sensationalsicily.com/catania.html
Caltagirone: Once the location of a Saracen fortress, this charming mountain town is famous for its hand made, traditional
ceramics. There are many cultural bodies who promote this aspect of the city like the Ceramic School and the Ceramic Museum.
Since the earthquake of 1693 the night dedicated to S.Giacomo(24/25 July) has been celebrated with huge images made up of
colored lights or ‘luminarie’ which have to illuminate a staircase. The ‘Scala’ itself has been used since 1785 and just like
ancient times over 4000 sand weighted papers cartons ‘coppi’ containing terracotta lanterns and the finest of oil are used
for the illumination.
Acireale - The Duomo, S.Sebastiano, walk to S.Maria della Scala - a picturesque fishing village.
Pantelleria: The largest of Sicily’s islands and just thirty miles from the African coast. An ideal spot for your holiday,
with its beautiful beaches, caves and the volcanic Lago di Venere with thermal spring water. The Montagna Grande mountain is
surrounded by 24 “cuddle” (small craters that recall the volcanic origins of this islands), lava flows, residues of
pumice-stone, basalts, fumaroles and thermal sources (Gadir, Nicà, Satana). There are many grottos where it is possible to
take healthy steam baths; one of the most famous ones is the ‘Stufa’ (stove) del Bagno di Arturo near Sibà.
SIRACUSA
Until Roman times, this was the most powerful and magnificent city in all Sicily. Today, it is an impressive and intriguing
sight, with a mixture of late Baroque architecture - vivid yet damaged by the passage of time, and the reconstruction of the
city following the terrible earthquake of 1693 - and ancient classical architecture. It is situated in an exquisite landscape
of sea, rocks and Mediterranean vegetation. Siracusa may be divided in several areas.
The most ancient part of town is the island of Ortigia, linked to the mainland by the Ponte Nuovo. Have a stroll and look at
the Fonte Aretusa, related to the myth of the goddess Diana’s nymph. Don’t miss the beautiful Baroque Duomo with its ornate
chapels, carved Doric columns, frescoes and statues. The other Baroque buildings, on the same square, include the striking
Palazzo Beneventano del Bosco whith a lovely courtyard, the Palazzo del Senato and the Church of Santa Lucia alla Badia
(S.Lucy is the patron saint of this town). Visit the Linear Theatre and the churches of S. Maria delle Colonne, S.Giovanni,
S.Pietro, Palazzo Mergulese-Montalto. Palazzo Bellomo hosts an Art gallery ( Entombment of St. Lucy by Caravaggio,
Annunciation by Antonello da Messina), and the imposing Maniace Castle with its Swabian architecture don’t has to be missed.
Via della Maestranza is one of the oldest and interesting streets of Ortigia, literally stuffed with Baroque buildings: look
out for Palazzo Interland Pizzuti, Palazzo Impellizzeri, Palazzo Bonanno, Palazzo Romeo Bufardeci, S.Francesco
all’Immacolata. We also recommend a walk through Mastrarua, another old street, Via Mirabella and Corso Matteotti, full of
shops. Also interesting: the Church of S.Spirito and the Belvedere S.Giacomo which offers a spectacular view.
In the archaeological area on the mainland part of town, called Parco Archeologico della Neapolis, you may visit the Ear of
Dionysius (situated in the Latomia del Paradiso, a garden with orange and palm trees), the ancient Greek theatre, the Roman
amphitheatre and the Tomb of Archimedes. In the Regional Archaeological Museum Paolo Orsi you may view many interesting finds
dating back to Sicilian prehistory.
In the areas of Tyche and Akradina: visit the Papyrus Museum, the S.Giovanni Catacombs, the Crypt of S.Marciano, the Basilica
of S.Giovanni Evangelista and S.Lucia extra moenia. Also worth: a walk to the Eurialo Castle, on the north side ot town.
A favourite excursion is a boat trip starting at the Fonte Ciane, at about 8 km out of town; it will get you to the spot,
where, according to Ovid, the Rape of Proserpina took place.
Noto: Defined as “Stone garden”, Noto was entirely built with a soft stone that, owing to the effect of sun rays, has
gradually acquired a beautiful honey shade.
Noto: Is the capital of the 18th century Sicilian and European baroque, and its religious and civil monuments are the most
valuable examples of talented artists of the time: Gagliardi, Sinatra, Labisi along with local skilled workers. Have a tour,
starting with the Cathedral, Palazzo Ducezio, the Holy Crucifix, the Monastery of “SS. Salvatore”, “S. Francesco”, S.
Domenico, Santa Chiara. Palazzo Nicolaci di Villadorata has incredible grotesque sculptures; Via Nicolaci”, is called the
street of balconies. But Noto is not only Baroque; its whole territory offers the necropolis of “Noto Antica” and of
“Castelluccio”, the archaeological finds of the Greek town of Eloro, the sanctuaries of “S. Corrado Fuori le Mura” and of “S.
Maria della Scala”, the rupestrian and Byzantine oratories, the beautiful sea and the naturalistic reserves of “Vendicari”
and “Cava Grande”.
RAGUSA
Set on a wide limestone hill between two deep valleys it is divided into two distinct areas: Ragusa Ibla the old town with
its lovely baroque architecture, and Ragusa (the upper side). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragusa,_Italy
Ragusa Ibla’s best-known church is the Basilica di San Giorgio, whose entrance is reached by climbing a spacious set of
elegantly decorated curving stairs. The majestic dome of the church towers above the town and dominates the Piazza del Duomo
and its neat rows of palm trees beneath it. The basilica was built in 1738 by the famous architect Rosario Gagliardo and is
considered Gagliardo’s baroque masterpiece. The beautiful piazza before the church is surrounded by striking aristocratic
buildings like Palazzo Arezzi and Palazzo Donnafugata.
The splendid Villa Comunale (public gardens) is situated at the far end of Ragusa Ibla. Very well-mantained, it offers
beautiful sights of the mountain ranges and down over the Irminio valley. The Church of San Giorgio il Vecchio has an amazing
Gothic-Norman doorway. Chiesa di Santa Maria dell’Idria, dated 1639 has a decorated bell-tower with lovely floral panels of
majolica from Caltagirone. Palazzo Cosentini is the most typical of all the 18th century buildings in town, with elegant
balconies supported by ornamented corbels and sculptured animals and masks typical of the Baroque Art.
Castello di Donnafugata: this castle, situated in proximity to Santa Croce Camerina, about 20km from Ragusa is a major
attraction for tourists. Thanks to its scenery, it was the setting of many films.
Comiso - The church of S.Francesco, the Mother Church, Palazzo Iacono-Ciarcià and the Palazzo Occhipinti, one of the most
beautiful buildings in town, with its elegant baroque façade attributed to Gagliardi.
Modica - The stately Cathedral of San Giorgio is one of the most important and impressing religious monuments in all Sicily.
It has an impressive flight of 250 steps, that starts down from Corso Garibaldi. The façade rises through three levels to a
single bell-tower; its aisles richly decorated with stuccoes and paintings. Palazzo Polara stands right of the Cathedral -a
splendid baroque building also with an elegant flight of steps. Don’t miss S.Pietro, the Chiesa del Carmine and Palazzo
Tomasi-Rossi with an impressive stone portal and beautiful balconies at the top floor.
Scicli - known as the Baroque Jewel. It boasts many lovely churches as the Madonna delle Milizie and Sant’Ignazio, both with
precious stuccoes and paintings. The 15th century Chiesa di San Bartolomeo houses a wooden nativity. Palazzo Beneventano, one
of the most impressive baroque monuments in the entire province. Other interesting monuments are the 1386’s Monastery of the
Carmelite Fathers, San Matteo and Santa Croce. The Via Mormino Penna, lined with amazing palazzi, churches and monuments,
provides an unforgettable baroque atmosphere. Here stand the Palazzo Comunale (Town Hall), the Palazzo Spadaro and the
churches of San Giovanni, San Michele and Santa Teresa. The Santuario della Madonna delle Milizie near the coast is also
worth a visit.
TRAPANI
Walking in Corso Vittorio Emanuele, the old Loggia, Via Torrearsa, Via Garibaldi, you’ll notice lots of historical palazzi
and churches of notable artistic worth: Palazzo Cavarretta, the Cathedral, Palazzo Riccio di Morana, Palazzo San Rocco,
Palazzo Riccio di San Gioacchino, Palazzo Lucatelli, the Chiesa del Collegio. In the Chiesa del Purgatorio, the sacred
statues of the Misteri of Trapani are kept. The Chiesa di San Pietro treasures the precious organ built by Francesco La
Grassa from Palermo. The Corso then leads into the so-called Ghetto, Via Della Giudecca and Via degli Ebrei, which was
inhabited by the Jewish community up to the XV century. The Northern part of the town is characterised by the Litoranea
(seafront) with the picturesque Piazza del Mercato del Pesce (Fish Market Square). Villa Margherita, the “lung” or outdoor
space of the town has giant ficus trees and is ideal for a relaxing walk.
EGADI ISLANDS
Favignana: this island is the largest of the archipelago of the Egadi and a popular tourist destination because of its
wonderful sea characterised by numerous coves. It is an island rich in history, the famous naval battle between the Romans
and the Carthaginians was fought here. Favignana is also famous all over the world for its “mattanza” (slaughter of tuna
fish) tradition. Levanzo - The smallest of the Egadi Islands, is an ideal place for trekking. Marettimo is the furthest from
Trapani and therefore this island still is a real natural paradise, with rugged and enchanting landscape and crystal clear
water.
Mozia - One of the largest Phoenician centres in Sicily. The archaeological excavations have revealed precious finds such as
the necropolis, a house of mosaics, and a paved road. One should not miss a visit to the Whitaker Museum that conserves
archaeological finds of great importance such as the Giovane (a young man) dressed in a tunic, a statue of Greek origin from
the second half of the V century BC.
San Vito Lo Capo - An ideal holiday destination thanks to its deep blue sea and its fine white sandy beach. Close to the
Natural Reserve Lo Zingaro.

Selinunte and Segesta, two famous ancient greek towns where you can still walk through the temples and old theatre.
MESSINA
Two great earthquakes hit this city, in 1783 and 1908, and during WWII it was heavily bombed.
Visit the Museo Regionale with Byzantine and Norman works as well as works by Messina’s famous artists, Antonello da Messina
and Girolamo Aliprandi. Also interesting the Mannerist building - Monte di Pietà and the church Santissima Annunziata dei
Catalani. A short way from the Duomo, this church was built in the 12th century during the Norman rule and remodelled later
on by the Catalans. The apse is a fine specimen of the Norman composite style, that combines Roman, Moorish and Byzantine
features. The Duomo has been rebuilt in Norman style, after the earthquake of 1908. From the inside you may access the
Treasury, which displays a fine collection of religious objects and vestments, reliquaries, candlesticks, chalices and a fine
1600’s monstrance, containing a host.
The astronomical clock on the bell-tower to the left of the cathedral has a mechanism dating from 1933.Don’t miss a look at
it on midday! It consists of several layers, each with a different display endowed with a separate movement. At the bottom, a
two-horse chariot sets the day of the week; above, the central figure of Death looks at the four ages of man that pass before
him. At the third stage, the Sanctuary of Montalto sets the scene for a group of figures which, according to the time of
year, represent the Nativity, Epiphany, Resurrection and Pentecost. At the top, the tableau enacts a scene relating to a
local legend whereby the Madonna delivers a letter to the ambassodors of Messina in which she thanks and agrees to protect
the inhabitants of the town who were converted to Christianity by St. Paul the Apostle.
The female bell-strikers are the local heroines Dina and Clarenza, during the period of resistance against the Angevins
(1282).. The southern side of the bell-tower shows a perpetual calendar, the astronomical cycle marked by the signs of the
zodiac, and the different phases of the moon. When the clock strikes midday, all the mechanical figures come to life. On the
Piazza del Duomo you may admire the Fontana di Orione with allegoric statues of four rivers.
For excursions in the area:
Ganzirri and Torre Faro, two characteristic, pictoresque fishing villages full of life. Or the medieval hill village of
Savoca which boasts interesting churches like the Convento dei Capuccini, the 15th century Chiesa di San Michele with fine
Gothic-Renaissance portals, and the Chiesa Madre. From Casalvecchio you’ll have a panoramic view over the Ionian coastline
and may visit the Chiesa Madre, decorated with Taormina marble.
Tindari: Piazzale Belvedere, Greek theatre and Basilica at the archaeological site.
AEOLIAN ISLANDS
A volcanic archipelago on Sicily’s North-Eastern Tyrrhenian coast with the islands of Lipari ( the largest one), Salina (a
green island with many wineyards), Filicudi, Alicudi, Stromboli (with an active volcano), Panarea (a jet-set island) and
Vulcano (famous for its fango baths). The Greeks who colonized the islands around 580BC named them after the god of the winds
Aeolus. These beautiful spots offer an enchanting landscape, great beaches with white sand, castles, thermal resorts and
medieval structures and are a main tourist resort in Summer.
On Lipari the volcanic phenomenon can be observed in the island’s thermal springs (up to 600), in its solfataras and in its
12 volcanic systems converging towards the 602 metres of Monte Chirica. This elevated and craggy island has spectacular
beaches and breathtaking ragged coasts.
Panarea - The main village, Contrada San Pietro, consists of a group of white houses clustered along the eastern side of the
island. The built-up area is crowned with olive trees and protected by huge walls. The other two villages north and south of
San Pietro are Dittella and Drauto.We recommend a boat tour to the nearby small islands of Basiluzzo, Dattilo and Lisca
Bianca, to the Scoglio Bottaro (with its underwater “fumaroles”).
Salina - More than 400 different types of plants grow here. It is also the island with the highest peaks such as the three
volcanoes that originated e.g Monte Fossa delle Felci (962 m), which is partially covered by one of the most beautiful
strawberry tree woods of the entire Mediterranean.
Vulcano - famous for the baths in the warm waters of its submarine springs. This 21 km2, 500 metre high (Monte Aria) isle is
the Aeolian island closest to the Sicilian coast. Its name is a clear description of its geography: a land of lava and
fumarole, yellow sulphur rocks and black sands all worth a visit.
Stromboli - This 924 metre high lava mountain (Serra Vancori) which drops abruptly down to 2000 metres below sea-level is
Europe’s biggest active volcano after Etna. During the night, the glittering “sciara” of fire (the red-hot flow descending
towards the sea) can be seen from the boats and from Panarea. During the day, the smoke of the peak joins the steam raising
up from the water that cools down the red-hot lava detritus which have plunged into the water after sliding down the slope of
the coast. The white houses of the little village create a unique contrast with the black lava background dotted with
dark-green bushes. http://www.sensationalsicily.com/aeolianislands.html
TAORMINA
A 19th century haunt of the English aristocracy, it has long been Sicily’s most famous resort town and it was here that D.H.
Lawrence was inspired to write Lady Chatterly’s Lover. Taormina has endlessly winding medieval streets and tiny passages. The
most famous view you can get on your strolls is the one overlooking the Greco-Roman amphitheatre, one of Sicily’s largest,
with Mount Etna and the sea in the background. The Teatro Greco was founded by Greeks in the third century BC but the visible
remains are almost entirely Roman. Between July and August the theatre hosts an international arts festival including film,
theatre and music.
CALTANISSETTA
Located in the very heart of Sicily: It boasts a baroque Cathedral with frescoes by the Flemish artist Guglielmo Borremans,
17th century Palazzo Moncada, the remnants of the Saracen Pietrarossa Castle, the church of S.Sebastiano as well as many
other Baroque churches. A little out of town you’ll reach the Romanesque Abbey of S. Spirito — founded by Roger I in the 11th
century. It hosts a beautiful wooden crucifix of the 15th century.
Gela: Regional Archaeological Museum, the Greek Acropolis and excursion to the Castle of Falconara.
Licata: worth a visit, offering many 18th century buildings, the Church of S.Domenico with a beautiful cloister and the
Carmine Church.
ENNA
Also called “Belvedere della Sicilia”, as it occupies a magnificent position on a plateau 948m above sea level. It’s rather
unknown as a touristic destination, yet it hosts many interesting churches and museums. Duomo: although largely rebuilt in
the Baroque style in the 16th and 17th centuries, the cathedral with its coffered ceilinghas maintained its Gothic apses.
Alessi Museum: houses the collections of Canon Alessi.17th and 18th century sacred vestments embroidered with gold thread and
coral; selection of paintings, Greek, Roman and Byzantine coins; an assortment of archaeological finds ranging from
prehistoric times to the Late Middle Ages. Lombardia Castle which looks out over the valley; S.Michele Arcangelo, S.Marco,
erected on the site of an old synagogue. Don’t miss a stroll in the Quartiere Fundrisi with its typical single-storey houses.

C.S. Lewis: It must be understood that my conversion at that point was only to theism pure and simple. I knew nothing yet about the incarnation. The God to whom I surrendered was sheerly non-human. 
Crows are really smart. A guy taught one to find coins and deposit them into a machine, which would dispense a peanut.
Satan and His Fallen Angels have a seedline or (offsprings children) here on the earth. 
As the title states, i feel these images and short videos are some quite convincing evidence for the existence of some sort of unknown craft/s in our sky. I cant say extraterrestrial with any degree of certainty but the evidence does point to it.
Christianity was born of the myths of sun worship. Horus of Egypt born December 25th, performed miracles called the Lamb of light, performed miracles was resurrected in three days like many other avatars; Mithra, Krishna, Attis, Dionysus, king of kings, alpha omega crucified. All had 12 disciples and the sacred day of worship was sunday. Scientific explanations… The Solar Messiah myth is represented with God’s sun who moves along through the 12 houses. From Pisces to Aquarius. The Apocalypse. End Times misinterpreted. 100 million Americans believe in the end of the world. Holy Ghost immaculate conception virgin birth all relate to sun worship. from http://zeitgeistmovie.com/
