                 (Tia relates on the
                      wars that happened in Dorondedunn's past such as
                      the where hair color determined the various sides
                      that battled over racial divisions that wiped out
                      much of the male population. Following that the
                      planet became matriarchal and had some major wars
                      that were even more intense.)
 
 
 Tia: now somebody might
                                      accuse you of being an alarmist…..
 
 Tia: yes.
 
 Russ: okay….
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: and well with good reason. I
                                      mean in times past you have
                                      predicted stuff that due to things
                                      that happened in the White House
                                      have not happened….
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: and so therefore some people
                                      worry that possibly we're jumping
                                      the gun and stuff even though I
                                      know we’re not…..
 
 Tia: uh-huh but you have received
                                      emails from people saying that
                                      that’s the impression that they’re
                                      getting.
 
 Russ: no.
 
 Tia: no?
 
 Russ: they’re just a general
                                      impression I would get if I was
                                      reading stuff like that.....
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: and I was wondering how you
                                      would respond to someone like
                                      that.
 
 Tia: well okay my response is it’s
                                      better to be prepared than to be
                                      caught with your panties down.
 
 Russ: correct.
 
 Tia: it’s better to have a plan of
                                      saving money, saving food, being
                                      cautious, being careful, being
                                      prepared for whatever comes. If it
                                      never comes that’s wonderful, that
                                      is great, but if it comes and when
                                      it comes you will be prepared.
                                      There is no set date, people have
                                      often have made the mistake of
                                      setting a date on when things are
                                      going to happen, when the world’s
                                      going end blah blah blah, when
                                      there’s going to be a nuclear war
                                      etc. etc..
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Tia: and are any of those groups
                                      that have predicted the coming
                                      return of Christ, the nuclear war,
                                      are they still around?
 
 Russ: yeah.
 
 Tia: uh-huh but they’re fading
                                      away because they made the simple,
                                      simple mistake of putting a date.
                                      There is no date on the
                                      Apocalypse, there is no
                                      Apocalypse, it just gets worse and
                                      worse and worse until people pull
                                      her fingers out of their tush and
                                      get their act together and realize
                                      that they’ve got to pull together.
                                      Whether they’re in Africa, or
                                      they’re African-Americans and
                                      white Americans, one group’s
                                      members are the Black Panthers,
                                      the other group's a member of the
                                      triple K gang, they’ve all got to
                                      realize that they have to pull
                                      together otherwise none of them
                                      are going to survive as a group.
                                      They have to drop their grudges
                                      and say, “okay, just because the
                                      skin's a different color, we all
                                      bleed red blood, we all have
                                      hearts and livers and lungs and
                                      brains, we have to get on.”
 
 Russ: well and that’s it, pulling
                                      together has never been man’s
                                      strong suit.
 
 Tia: no and it wasn’t on my
                                      planet.
 
 Russ: and it wasn’t on Sirius.
 
 Tia: no.
 
 Russ: for example, on Sirius it
                                      was one group of people….
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: who got together for a
                                      common cause…..
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: 120,000 to be exact.
 
 (Ed. Note: it was actually a
                                      144,000)
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: on Durondedunn, I don’t know
                                      the story there but I’m sure it
                                      was a similar story.
 
 Tia: well actually it was after
                                      the men decimated themselves
                                      because of the redheads and the
                                      blondes and the black hairs and
                                      the brown hairs, they all lived in
                                      different parts of the planet.
                                      Skin color never meant anything to
                                      us. So your skin’s darker or
                                      lighter or whatever, it was hair
                                      color was kind of the racial
                                      difference. All the blonde people
                                      lived in the cold climates, all
                                      the redheads happened to live in
                                      the kind of middle climates where
                                      it would be warm or cold and then
                                      of course the dark-haired ones
                                      lived further South in the more
                                      hot zones.
 
 Russ: hmm, okay. And so that’s
                                      when it became matriarchal?
 
 Tia: pretty much after that that
                                      we realized that we had to get
                                      together and work together and
                                      then it was those that lived in
                                      the cold climates wanted a bigger
                                      area from those that lived in the
                                      temperate zones and so on. And
                                      that’s when we women had our
                                      bloody wars, it wasn't over hair
                                      color or stature, it was over
                                      land, much like you had.
 
 Russ: hmmm.
 
 Tia: and our wars were much more
                                      bloody then the males had, much
                                      more bloody, much more ferocious.
 
 Russ: hmmm. Well you didn’t go
                                      through that though....
 
 Tia: no.
 
 Russ: so all you can do is read
                                      the history books on that.
 
 Tia: uh-huh, yes.
 
 Russ: hmmm. Well someday I'll read
                                      about our history books and how
                                      everything was nice and peaceful
                                      until all hell broke loose.
 
 Tia: name me a day when it’s been
                                      peaceful on your planet.
 
 Russ: locally or worldly?
 
 Tia: worldly.
 
 Russ: yeah, never happen.
 
 Tia: I think it was Christmas Day
                                      1967.
 
 Russ: I don’t think so.
 
 Tia: I’m joking.
 
 Russ: of course, but it's just
                                      something that all planet’s goes
                                      through.
 
 Tia: uh-huh, it’s a matter of
                                      evolvement, evolving from a
                                      warlike planet such as your planet
                                      or my planet or Sirius and
                                      realizing that warfare does not
                                      solve everything. The bloodshed of
                                      women fighting for land and men
                                      and so on is not right. The ratio
                                      on my planet of women to men is
                                      still about three or four to one.
 
 Russ: uh-huh.
 
 Tia: at one time, men on your
                                      planet would love this, the ratio
                                      was thirty to one.
 
 Russ: women to men?
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: hmm.
 
 Tia: thirty women vying for one
                                      man.
 
 Russ: poor guys would be worn out.
 
 Tia: well that’s when they started
                                      to become docile.
 
 Russ: yeah I would be, I wouldn’t
                                      have any energy to do anything
                                      else but be docile.
 
 Tia: uh-huh pretty much so and
                                      then it became a genetic thing and
                                      finally that’s how they ended up.
 
 Russ: hmm.
 
 Tia: seeing men that are so much a
                                      part of your everyday existence
                                      being the dominant ones, the thing
                                      is that if you’re not careful, you
                                      may go the same way.
 
 Russ: hmmm, it's possible.
 
 Tia: the thing is on my planet is
                                      that lesbians or lesbianism or
                                      being bisexual is not really
                                      frowned upon.
 
 Russ: hmm.
 
 Tia: it’s not frowned upon at all,
                                      it’s something that…..
 
 Russ: it seems it would be a
                                      natural course of events actually.
 
 Tia: yes it is actually. But in my
                                      day and age….
 
 Russ: uh-huh.
 
 Tia: it’s still reasonably common
                                      but it’s not something that you
                                      see every day and it's accepted.
 
 Russ: interesting.
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: well I’m sure someday we'll
                                      find out about peace and love.
 
 Tia: yes hopefully.
 
 Russ: yeah.
 
 Tia: it’s hard coming from, as I
                                      keep on saying, a garden planet
                                      and seeing what you people are
                                      doing to your planet.
 
 Russ: well there is an answer.
 
 Tia: what?
 
 Russ: I don’t know the answer but
                                      I know there's an answer.
 
 Tia: of course there’s an answer.
 
 Russ: I think the answer’s in the
                                      Great Pyramid.
 
 Tia: I don’t know, I don’t know.
 
 Russ: I just think it holds a key.
                                      Should I let her in?
 
 Tia: no.
 
 Russ: why, what's she saying?
 
 Tia: they’ve got to learn
                                      patience, they’ve got to learn
                                      that you can’t have access to
                                      everywhere. You see, the way I see
                                      it is that a matriarchal society
                                      has the advantage over a
                                      patriarchal society because there
                                      are times when we women can’t
                                      fight. Six months out of a year
                                      maybe we’re unable to fight
                                      because we’re busy giving birth so
                                      that we understand in more detail
                                      the rhythmic cycles of the human
                                      body.
 
 Russ: hmmm.
 
 Tia: we have religious
                                      festivals…..
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Tia: where we have religious
                                      battles.
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Tia: one religious order against
                                      another or one province against
                                      another led by the religious order
                                      of that area.
 
 Russ: okay.
 
 Tia: and the religious battles
                                      will be fought until somebody is
                                      either seriously injured or dies
                                      and fortunately they’re not very
                                      often. I think I remember seeing
                                      three of them. One when I was very
                                      little, one when I was not quite a
                                      teenager and then one when I was
                                      15......
 
 Russ: oh.
 
 Tia: I was 14 when I saw that one
                                      and I would’ve been delighted for
                                      it to be my turn to join in. It’s
                                      a big free-for-all, we're dressed,
                                      we’re wearing protective gearing
                                      but we have these huge, huge
                                      battles of….…..well not huge, two,
                                      three thousand people a side……
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Tia: where we pound on each other
                                      until somebody gets seriously
                                      injured or is killed and all the
                                      bloodshed is kind of a gift back
                                      to the soil, back to the mother.
 
 Russ: that's a bit violent.
 
 Tia: yes but it’s a controlled
                                      violence releasing all that
                                      tension and pressure.
 
 Russ: hmm. Well the Romans had
                                      their gladiators, I suppose that’s
                                      good for you guys.
 
 Tia: yes in a way but it’s all the
                                      stress and tension that builds up
                                      is released in the festival and of
                                      course afterwards there’s a whole
                                      load of drunken debauchery.
 
 Russ: yeah of course.
 
 Tia: uh-huh. It’s a rhythmic cycle
                                      of life and death.
 
 Russ: hmm, well like I say, it’s
                                      not the first time I’ve heard of
                                      that happening.
 
 Tia: no and I believe it still
                                      happens on your planet in Sandalwood,
                                      the island of Sandalwood, I
                                      believe they call it the Pisolla.
 
 Russ: hmm, I’m not sure on that
                                      fact but I'll take your word for
                                      it. Hmm, well, we have our
                                      National Football League and
                                      France has got the World Cup and
                                      so on and so forth.
 
 Tia: yes, soccer, apparently a
                                      long protracted war is a lot less
                                      damaging than one World Cup
                                      series.
 
 Russ: that’s what I understand
                                      also.
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
