These pictures will dispel all the myths about the dangers of being around sharks brought on by scary movies with man eating sharks. Their normal diet includes dolphins, fish, seals, squid, turtles and even birds. and hence the chances of them looking at a human as prey are quite low. The freedivers William Winram and Pierre Frolla are lucky to have come so close to these sharks and live to tell us about it.

Made in white and black it has the look of an Wacky electronic gadget. The video gives an operational demo which shows that both the door for the cockpit can be opened by pulling small red levers provided just above the doors. The door for the passenger seats can be opened by pressing a button below the door.

The modle is battery operated. There are two fans on either side of the chopper, that start rotating once the modle is switched on. There’s a red lever provided on top of the helicopter which can be used for tilting or changing the face of one or both the fans. As the pictures suggest, the avatar LEGO is indeed an interesting tech toy. However, it would have been fantastic if this chopper could actually take-off!!

The World’s 5 most Bizarre Secret Societies

The religious beliefs and dogmatic society traditions often drive people into ideological groups, causing them to isolate from the mainstream society and become defensive of secret beliefs. They believe themselves to be a part of some sacred mission set out to change the world and spend their lives following the teachings of their leaders. These have often given rise to many societies that work under the cover but have their roots spread across the nations. They have their secret laws and activities that are often concealed from the non-members. These organizations boast an esoteric doctrine known only to their members, and carefully concealed from the profane. So let us take a look at some of the secret societies of the world formed since ages and most still living on till date carrying out their movements secretly.

The Order of Nine Angles

Order Nine Angles

link

The Order of Nine Angles (ONA) is an ostensible secretive Satanist organization that surfaced amongst the people of United Kingdom is 1980s and 1990s. The society professes to be the followers of Satanism and regard it as highly individualized pursuit to create self-excellence and wisdom, by facing challenges and overcoming the physical and mental limits. At present, ONA is organized around secret cells known as traditional nexions and around in its words the sinister tribes. The ONA’s writings strangely consider human sacrifice as a means of eliminating the weak and claim that its sinister tribes are an important part of its sinister strategy to fabricate a new, tribal-based, more ominous way of life, and to disturb and eventually conquer the ordinary societies of what it calls the mundanes.

Thule Society

Graphite Thule

link

Thule Society is the German Brotherhood of Death Society that centered on achieving New World Order that quite bizarrely in simple terms meant killing people to reduce the population. The members of Theul society were in real Satanists who practiced Black Magic and Sexual Magic. Thule Society regularly held supernatural séances, during which time they communicated with demons who were either dead person or who were just appearing as their guiding spirits. Also Adolf Hitler had joined this society in 1919 under the leadership of Dietrich Eckhart. Eckhart involved Hitler in to a vicious magic ritual that at the end left him sexually impotent that is regarded as why Hitler had become such a sadistic murderer.While I just got lucky with the source, that’s not how most of the world knows Thule Society as. Swarming a web of polite words, the society is described in some other way here.

Freemasonry

Freemasonry

link

Going by the Wikipedia definition Freemasonry is a public spirited fraternal organization that has existed since the 17th century. Freemasonry’s central preoccupations remain charitable work within a local or wider community but the society has had a plethora of controversies and actual secrets buried deep in its long history. It has been said that Masons claim that Masonry is open to any one of any faith and that it is a brotherhood to help other Masons. But that is only to attract more people to the society. The symbol G used in their signs actually translates to Masonic gnosis or generation with their God as Lucifer and main enemy Christianity. Masons take a deadly oath rather blood oaths for each degree up to the 33rd degree. They swear allegiance to Masonry above God and country and under pain of death, swear never to reveal the secrets of Freemasonry – not even to their wives.

Skull and Bones

Bones logo

link

The Order of Skull and Bones, a Yale University society, was originally known as the Brotherhood of Death and was founded in 1832 by the students. The society is surrounded by conspiracy theories; the most popular of which is probably the idea that the CIA was built on members from the group. But another more shocking truth is that like the rest, the society hides the dark secrets of evil practices too. They incorporated sexual activities into their practices in which they lay naked in coffins telling their deepest and darkest sexual secrets as part of their initiation. Like the ONA their prime goal is New World Order. Ron Rosenbaum in his writings has also pointed out that Bones and the Bavarian Illuminists are closely linked to each other, giving evidence like ‘haunting photograph of the altar room at one of the Masonic lodges at Nuremberg that is closely associated with Illuminism.’ Shockingly President Bush is an adept in an American Brotherhood of the Yale Skull and Bones Society.
Apart from these some of the very famous secret societies of all times are Rosicrucianism, Ordo Templis Orientis, Hermetic Order of The Golden Dawn, The Knights Templar, The Illuminati, Opus Dei and the The Priory of Sion.

Assassins

Assassins were regarded as the most fearful of all secret societies that murdered every victim despite of his guards and security personnels. They carried out ruthless murders of eminent people and were feared by kings, princes, sheikhs, and sultans. Most of the initial members of the secret society were followers of the Nizari branch of the Isma Iliyya sect of Shiite Muslims and were located primarily in Syria and Persia. The society was headed by Hasan ibn Sabbah (1034-1124) who created an group composed of devotees, known as fedayeen, who did whatever he commanded with blind obedience. They appeared as simple peasants during the light of the day but turned to ferocious and highly capable warriors in the darkness of night springing on their victims from the shadows.
