Very few equivalences in ancient times are so certain as the equivalence of Ramses II with King Solomon. There is in fact substantial evidence – acknowledged but ignored by the mainstreamers – that the early years of rule of Ramses II were a coregency with Sethos (King David), whose daughter he married (as Solomon also married the daughter of the pharaoh). Is it not remarkable that a Jewish king is marrying into the royal “Egyptian” Pharaonic family, which allegedly was not Jewish – come on, what nonsense is that? The scholars are clueless.

CIA then encouraged Ethiopia to invade Somalia in support of weak TFG forces (Transitional Federal Government) against UIC fighters (Union of Islamic Courts) and promised to provide intelligence and air cover. Ethiopian troops backed by USA invaded Somalia on 28 December 2006.
