Mardukites "BANNED" from "Ancient Aliens" Television Series by Giorgio Tsoukalos

[nabu]

When the modern Mardukite movement was founded on the 2008 Summer Solstice, there was little ‘mainstream’ attention being given toward an actual paradigm-shift in human consciousness; the way in which humans view their past, the establishment of their present beliefs and systems and the way in which this will carry life on the planet to the future.

Although folks might have been familiar with the more academic renderings concerning the Anunnaki from the works of Zecharia Sitchin, or the Ancient Astronaut Theories of Erich von Daniken, the work most widely available certainly is in not lacking in facts, but there were few actual ‘movements’ seeking to implement this methodology of living in modern times.

The Mardukites were first introduced to the public in 2008 as Mardukite Ministries, not for the intentions of “religions” semantics but for other more personal reasons by its founder, Joshua Free – who has recently made himself known as NABU in the work Nabu Speaks! But, even prior to this recent ‘disclosure’, the movement has seen controversy and challenges in reaching the mainstream for even the most basic of reasons, many of which are fallacies of logic or semantic barriers.

While some folks think this is some kind of “new fad” or that we have ourselves jumped on “their bandwagon, it was nearly two years after the public launch of the Mardukites, during the time of our own completion of Liber 50 (our fifth libros in the Anunnaki legacy), originally released as “Gates of the Necronomicon“, but more widely known as “Sumerian Religion: Secrets of the Anunnaki,” and its companion, The Book of Marduk by Nabu -- Swiss-born gen-X producer, Giorgio Tsoukalos, released Ancient Aliens the television series on the History Channel on April 20, 2010.

Though presented as an ‘objective documentary’, the work has ties to a specific organization and group of researchers in a similar manner that previous A/V modes of boosting human consciousness have — such as “What the Bleep Do We Know?!” being connected to the Ramtha School of Enlightenment — and in addition to this, it is subjected to the same type of ‘covert censorship’ that appears common in supposedly ‘enlightening’ demonstrations of knowledge that we should expect on something that is so “mainstream” as the History Channel.

Although the Ancient Aliens television series does much to promote, as it states, the theories and evidence for visitations of extraterrestrial beings in ancient times — it spends surprisingly little time on the originating faction of it all: the Anunnaki. In fact, for all of the critical bestselling publicity that his work achieved, Zecharia Sitchin receives equally little mention. There is, of course, a reason for this. The show is produced by Tsoukalos, who is the director of Erich von Daniken’s “Center for Ancient Astronaut Research“, a group mainly focused on the author’s own efforts and works. Now it makes sense.

Since there was little mention of the Anunnaki, and even less application to how if any of this is true it is at all relevant to our modern world and traditions on the Ancient Aliens series, various members of our own fray, the Mardukite Chamberlains, members of Council (of Nabu) and friends of our author-founder, Joshua Free, prompted him to proposition Giorgio Tsoukalos about appearing on the Ancient Aliens series, or being involved or included whatsoever, and the response was publicly negative. Of course, we were unsure what he might already know of our work, but it seemed the word “Ministry” fumbled him into thinking we were simply some “Raelian alien cult” as I believe he called it on his facebook page…

Quote:Joshua Free: Girogio, sir, any chance on seeing “mardukites” covered as contemporary ancient alien movements in your future projects?

Giorgio Tsoukalos: Never. The perpetuation of MINISTRIES in connection with the Ancient Astronaut Theory is EXACTLY the OPPOSITE of what I’ve fought for in the past 14 years of my life… Any type of faith-related groups who claim themselves to be “connected” with the Ancient Astronaut Theory (such as Raelism and, apparantly, what you proffer) is, in my humble opinion, a huge disservice to the genuine validity of this research topic. Science and faith do not necessarily go hand in hand, in case you haven’t noticed. In fact, to pull the AAT into a religious and faith-based context is the exact opposite of what the AAT actually proposes. You, dear sir, are one of the reasons why the mainstream thinks we’re off our rocker… And I mean this in the most endearing and respectful manner. I simply and completely disagree with what you’re doing in reference to the AAT.

Joshua Free: We are simply emphasizing a reconstruction of the Anunnaki based system and re-examining it as the basis for dogmatic religions that came later. While I understand your reservations, the term “ministry” was meant as more of “administration” and anything remotely religious in our actual practices would be likened to the performance of the Akiti spring festival or something similar. Its far from Raelism. It is about emphasizing that if anything in AAT is to be the case than we need to start re-examining all culture, religion and human existence on the planet in ways not already being explored. Without this ‘practical movement’ the theories do nothing in themselves to better humanity or progress our evolution, they simply contribute more data in an otherwise already overloaded relay of information in modern times. You maintain a degree of respect among our fray regardless of how you wish to approach this – though I urge you to consider what current contemporary impact this data will have and feed it or else this movement risks becoming another fad without use.In spite of the name adopted (“Mardukite”) the work we do reflects that ‘ancient aliens’ and their encounters with historic humanity is THE basis for later developing religious and spiritual beliefs, and even later evolving superstitions that are equally reflective on these encounters. We make no illusion about their ‘divinity’ within our organization – but we still accept the contribution they had towards the development of human systems which seem occupied on ‘national religions’ toward ‘sky gods’. That this later developed into Judeo-Christian, Zoroastrian and other far expanding ‘interpretations’ of ‘ancient alien’ phenomenon is explored by our organization in a scholarly sense and not to propagate a ‘faith-related’ system, but to illustrate that these figures sparked such systems in our past – and these systems continue to affect our experience of reality in our present. What the ‘future will bring’ is entirely dependent on the ‘paradigm’, ‘worldview’ or ‘glasses’ used going into it.

Tsoukalos denied any further comment.

This blog posting has been based on the following excerpt from the newly released disclosure: NABU SPEAKS! The Autobiography of an Alien Messenger.

Quote: With the overall success of the literary work combined
with the growing number of people discovering it and
the planned expansion of the ‘greater legacy’ – including
this very volume – the “Mardukite Chamberlains” were
encouraging me to make contact with Giorgio
Tsoukalos to see if I could bring our Anunnaki revival
movement to closer examination on his show, “Ancient
Aliens,” which is primarily featured on the History
Channel. Few people are actually aware that the show is
the product of Tsoukalos’s efforts as the executor of an
ancient astronaut association dedicated specifically to
the legacy of Erich von Daniken. I did make contact –
the results were discouraging. In a public social
networking forum, Tsoukalos essentially explained
that people like me were deteriorating the credibility of
the ‘more serious’ experts like him. Great… I forgot –
we live in a world where there is more money in the
research and theories than cures and conclusions.
Apparently ‘disclosure’ was ‘all on me’ to figure, just
like everything else.

-update-

One week after the public release of the amazing disclosure work, Nabu Speaks! – The Autobiography of an Alien Messenger, and its corresponding Mardukite Documentary effort, Joshua Free and other Mardukites begin to ponder the real nature of the discrimination at large from folks like Giorgio Tsoukalos, who had recently – even prior to the now controversial disclosure – BANNED the Mardukite presence from his television series, Ancient Aliens, which appears on the History Channel.

In a related facebook post, Joshua Free was found querying today:

Quote:“I’m confused… I was ousted by the Ancient Aliens people for supporting the idea that aliens are the basis for religion and all ‘sky god’ beliefs. I was told that anything involving “religion” would be taboo… and yet, I just spent 45 minutes watching this week’s episode on… religion… …am I impaired in some way? Am I seeing something that is not there? My respect still remains with David Hatcher Childress and so I have a hard time trying to start a fad-war with AA. David is brilliant.

“But, it should be stressed now if not apparent before that I DO NOT advocate the worship of ANY deity, christian, pagan or otherwise. NONE. Mortal worship is one of the dumbest pastimes possible. There MAY BE a “GOD” supreme outside this existence of fragmented material reality but it is NOTHING that mortals have ever EXPERIENCED in this world – only AA. On that part, me and Giorgio Tsoukalos are in agreement.

“No one in the Mardukite Chamberlains “worship” the Anunnaki. We ‘work’ with them like friends, parents, relatives and advisors. Ask anyone. Well anyone that actually knows what we do… That the Anunnaki WERE worshiped in ancient times is a matter of historical fact. That people carried these beliefs into religions for thousands of years is also unavoidable truth. If people don’t like this idea, so what. I don’t like people. Whoop-dee-do. In revealing what the ancient Mardukites did in installing artificial systems and raising a self-made god to supreme in the pantheon should be a clue that we’re debunking the whole mess, lol. All of the information is now there, but people are resilient to change. They would rather go back to the life they know because it shows illussively to support them. One good solar flare would solve that…”

While it is very true that the Mardukites does not worship the Anunaki, I understand it can be quite confusing for a newcommer, since the core book is a "Bible" and we are selling a devotional booklet, plus the "high rank members" (lol) are named bishops... furthermore it may be hard for cowans to distinguish between "relationship" and "worship".
It is obvious that the purpose of Liber N is still quite misunderstood.
That all ancient aliens "experts" think Joshua is crazy is quite sad, for it demonstrate that none of them have ever read or understood the Legacy, for the whole issue of "crazyness" is already dealt with in the books...

...indeed.

And if they didn't catch it there, my whole spiel on realty vs. sanity is going to appear (hopefully) in Douglas Monroe's third and final "Merlyn" book.

This is the first time I've posted so obviously I'm quite new to it. I'm hoping to make posts more frequently as the days progress and I read more of the threads. To me, Giorgio Tsoukalos' whole reason for not including Mardukites in his program makes no sense. He obviously has no REAL idea of what the Mardukite movement is about. To me it upholds their theory and adds something to it. The FACT that the ancient religions were formed from these "Ancient Aliens." And then when he goes on to say that "You, dear sir, are one of the reasons why the mainstream thinks we’re off our rocker…" I found this totally absurd.

All Tsoukalos really did was make himself look ridicules (and to me, destroyed the purpose behind the show) and made Josh look like he should be making the damn sow, which he should

[nabu]

They don't want conclusions -- they want the perpetual question. Is how there will be a season 4. LMAO!
