concerned with the attempt to explode an actual hydrogen bomb. If we had set-off such a bomb we would now
be nothing but a bunch of floating cinders . . . we would be as Maldek, an asteroid belt. Space friends vowed
that they would never again allow a planet in this Solar System to destroy itself; therefore, no government on
Earth will explode true hydrogen . . . it will not be allowed.
The element hydrogen is life-giving along with five other elements in the air we breathe, in the water we
drink, and in the composition of our physical self. Explode a true H-bomb and all life on Earth will be
extinguished. Van Tassel told us months and months ago that our scientists were "tinkering" with a formula
they did not understand. The explosion of an atom of inert substance and that of a living substance are two
different things.
Hydrogen "devices" have utilized deuterium and tritium, not hydrogen, as such. The elements exist in simplest
form as atoms, and these atoms are composed of a nucleus about which electrons revolve. Elements are
distinguished from each other by the number of electrons revolving about the central nucleus. Each electron
carries a negative electrical charge which is off-set by a positively charged particle in the nucleus known as a
proton. Elements may contain additional particles in the nucleus, which carry no electrical charge and are
known as neutrons.
All of this basic explanation is to show why no true hydrogen bomb has been detonated. The simplest element
is hydrogen which in its most common form consists of one electron and thus one proton in each atom. Two
other forms of hydrogen are known which, in addition to the one electron and one proton also have
respectively one and two neutrons in their atomic structure. These two rare forms of hydrogen are known as
deuterium and tritium. Deuterium exists in the proportion of one atom of deuterium to every sixty-four
hundred atoms of ordinary hydrogen, in nature. Tritium is an artificial radioactive element. Because their
masses are so greatly different in proportion to ordinary hydrogen, the differences in properties are quite
marked.
Deuterium and tritium then, are isotopes of hydrogen, and because of their extreme rarity it is possible that
they would not have the dangerous "chain-reaction" results that common or ordinary hydrogen would . . . for
hydrogen of the common type is found in all living things on Earth. To create and detonate a true H-bomb
would be to announce to the rest of the Universe that the planet Earth had suddenly come to an end like a
flaming, exploding star in the corner of the Milky Way Galaxy. The history of Maldek would repeat itself:
"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Earth . . ."
In getting back to Marduk, we find that in his battle with Tiamat, mother of the gods, he killed her and when
he became the most powerful of all things he set about to create order in the universe. He then split Tiamat's
body in two. This sounds like Maldek battling the elements of nature and finally subduing the atomic power
(mother of the gods or forces). Maldek became powerful because of this mastery and attempted to rule all
other planets. Maldek split this hydrogen force of nature (Tiamat).
After the Exodus from Egypt, the Wandering in the Desert lasted for forty years according to the Holy Bible.
Then for a number of years the conquest of Palestine went on. Between the time when the Israelites left the
desert and started the difficult task of the conquest, and the time of the battle at Beth-horon, twelve years may
easily have passed. According to rabbinical sources the war of conquest in Palestine lasted fourteen years.
During the fifty-two years between the catastrophe of the Exodus and the time of Joshua commanding the Sun
to stand still at the battle of Beth-horon, the Earth was shrouded in dense clouds and the observation of the
stars was difficult.
The Book of Joshua was compiled from the more ancient Book of Jasher.
Joshua 10:11-13: "And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to
Beth-boron, that the Lord cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they
