Martian Soil May Contain Toxic Compounds Harmful To Life

The soil on mars may be toxic to life.

Moscow (RIA Novosti) Aug 06, 2008
Data gathered by NASA's Phoenix lander on Mars have revealed the red planet's soil could contain a toxic substance that would make it less likely that life formed there.
Earlier NASA said Phoenix analyzers detected water in the soil, which suggested that Mars could have the conditions for life. However, if the presence of perchlorate were confirmed, the probability of detecting living organisms there would be reduced.

"The Phoenix team has been waiting for complementary results from the Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer, or TEGA, which also is capable of detecting perchlorate. TEGA is a series of ovens and analyzers that "sniff" vapors released from substances in a sample," NASA said on its website.

NASA scheduled a media teleconference for later Tuesday to discuss the research team's findings.

NASA said it was important to confirm the presence of perchlorate, particularly as analysis of a sample directly above the ice layer "found no evidence of this compound."

"This is surprising since an earlier TEGA measurement of surface materials was consistent with but not conclusive of the presence of perchlorate," said Peter Smith, Phoenix's principal investigator at the University of Arizona, Tucson.

TEGA and the Microscopy, Electrochemistry, and Conductivity Analyzer (MECA) are specifically designed to gather data on the composition of Martian soil.

"We are committed to following a rigorous scientific process. While we have not completed our process on these soil samples, we have very interesting intermediate results," Smith said.

"Initial MECA analyses suggested Earth-like soil. Further analysis has revealed un-Earthlike aspects of the soil chemistry," he said.

NASA said the researchers were working to exclude any chance that the perchlorate detected came from a terrestrial source and migrated from the spacecraft to contaminate either the soil samples or the instrument.

Perchlorates are used to produce explosives, including solid rocket fuel.

The Phoenix probe, built by the Lockheed Martin Corporation at a cost of $420 million, was launched in August 2007 and made a textbook landing in May after its 680 million km (423 million mile) journey from Earth before opening its solar arrays and sending data back to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

PERCHOLATE ON MARS FROM NIBIRAN ROCKETS
by Sasha Lessin, Ph.D.
www.enkispeaks.com

AP's Alicia Chang reports NASA's Phoenix spacecraft detected
the chemically reactive salt, percholate in the Martian soil.
Percholate is the main ingredient in solid rocket fuel but
percholate is not the fuel used by the Phoenix craft; Phoenix used
hydradine, another fuel on Mars.

Rocket fuel residues are exactly what students of Ancient
Mesopotamia would expect. The miners from Nibiru, the far-orbiting
tenth planet in our solar system, began landing their rockets on Mars
450,000 years ago. They build monuments, gold refineries, and
airports on the red planet. Here's their story as related in the
works of Sumerian expert Zacheria Sitchin:

Ea, also known as Enki, Ptah and Aquarius Blasted to Earth
with water. He hid nuclear weapons the deposed Nibiran king Alalu
had brought to Earth. Ea rocketed from Nibiru toward Earth. He shot,
with water from his ship, Asteroid-Belt rocks in his path. Pilot
Anzu warned that they'd depleted their water. If they didn't
replenish it, their propulsion system would fail. Water from Mars
could save them.

So EA AND ANZU LANDED ON MARS. Not only did it have water,
but it had an atmosphere too. "The water was good for drinking but
the air was insufficient for breathing, which means they needed
their "Eagle's helmets to breathe" [Tellinger, M., Slave Species of
god, page 432] On Mars, they drew water from a lake. [Sumerian
records on clay tablets unambiguously indicate water on Mars (long
before Twenty-First Century scientists documented water's presence
there)].

Rocket's water replenished, Ea blasted for Earth, "its gold
Nibiru's fate for salvation or doom containing." [Sitchin, Z., The
Lost Book of Enki page 71]

Back on Nibiru, King Anu and Enlil received Ea's news of vast
veins of gold. Enlil, angry still that brother Ea leads the Earth
Mission, demanded proof, not just of gold, but of lots of gold.
False hope Ea gave already that gold enough could from Earth's waters
could Nibiru's atmosphere save, said Enlil. The King, unhappy with
Enlil's complaints about Ea, gave in. Enlil, To Earth I order you.
Take charge there and the scope of Ea's gold find assess, said Anu.
[Info from Sitchin, Z., The Lost Book of Enki, page 86; Lessin
invented italicized dialogue].

Enlil made landfall on Earth and examined Ea's find. Enlil
beamed back to Nibiru that, despite his initial doubts, Earth
probably had gold enough to save Nibiru's atmosphere.

But the basic rivalry between Ea and Enlil (that plagues
Earth to this day) surfaced again.

ANU, ENLIL & EA DRAW FOR NIBIRU, EARTH, SEAS & MINING

Father Anu, Enlil beamed from Earth to Nibiru, affirm, by the
law of succession, that I, your son by your own half-sister Antu,
precede and have authority over Ea, though, he, your eldest son, be.
Come, Enlil implored, to Earth in person and deal with Alalu, too,
who claims rule here over Nibiru too. So, 416, 000 years ago, Anu
flew to Earth and drew lots with Ea and Enlil.

At the drawing Anu decreed, one lot would bestow rule over
Nibiru; another lot would give its holder rule of Earth and control
the Persian Gulf headquarters; the last lot would give responsibility
for African mining operations and sea transport.

"By their lots the tasks they divided; Anu to Nibiru to
return, its ruler on the throne to remain. "The Edin [Mesopotamia] to
Enlil was allotted, to be Lord of Command, more settlements to
establish, of the skyships and their heros charge to take. Of all
the lands until they the bar of the seas encounter, the leader to
be.

"To Ea the seas and the oceans as his domain were granted,
lands beyond the bar of the waters by him to be governed, in the Abzu
[southeastern Africa] to be the master, with ingenuity the gold to
procure." [Sitchin, Z., Lost Book of Enki, pages 92 -93]

Enlil's first act was to award Enki his initial settlement,
Eridu, on the Persian Gulf, in perpetuity.

No sooner did Anu and his sons divide rule of Nibiru and
Earth, then..."Forward toward Anu Alalu stepped, shouted, `Mastery of
Earth to me was allotted; that was the promise when the gold finds to
Nibiru I announced! Nor have I the claim to Nibiru's throne
forsaken.'" [Sitchin, Z., The Lost Book of Enki, page 93]

Anu wrestled Alalu. They grappled. [Sitchin, The Wars of
Gods and Men, page 86] "Anu on the chest of Alalu with his foot
pressed down, victory in the wrestling thereby declaring, `I am
King'" But when Anu lifted his foot from Alalu, "swiftly he the
manhood of Anu bit off, the malehood of Anu Alalu did swallow.!"
[Sitchin, The Wars of Gods and Men, page 94]

Enlil tied Alalu up while Ea gave Anu first-aid. "Alalu," Anu
groaned, "will slowly die from my seed." Anu condemned the sickened
and doomed Alalu to spend his last days on Mars. The Nibirans knew
Alalu would die soon from biting Anu's penis. "There was apparently
something in the "flesh" of others that killed anyone who consumed
it." [Tellinger, M. 2006, Slave Species of god, page 438]

So Anu, on his return to Nibiru, dropped Alalu on Mars, with
food and tools. Anu also left Alalu's kinsman, Anzu--the
interplanetary pilot Ea had discharged--to tend Alalu as Alalu died
on Mars.

NINMAH, ENROUTE TO EARTH, SAVED ANZU ON MARS, STARTS MARSBASE

When Anu arrived back on Nibiru, he told the Council his
plans for gold hunting throughout the solar system. He ordered
continuous freight rockets to and from Earth. ROCKETS WILL SHUTTLE
AMONG WAY-STATIONS ON MARS, EARTH'S MOON, other planets and
satellites between Nibiru and the sun.

King Anu sent his daughter Ninmah with female health officers
to Earth. STOP, SAID THE KING, ON THE WAY, AT MARS. IF ANZU LIVES,
GIVE HIM MEN TO START A BASE THERE.

On Mars Ninmah found Alalu and Anzu dead. It was too late
for the condemned Alalu, but Ninmah revived Anzu.

To commemorate Alalu who discovered the gold that can save
Nibiru, Ninmah and Anzu, "The image of Alalu upon the great rock
mountain [CYNDONIA] with beams they carved. They showed him wearing
an eagle's helmet; his face they made uncovered." [Sitchin, Z., The
Lost Book of Enki, page 104].

Before she left Mars for Earth, Ninmah gave Anzu twenty of
the astronauts from her company and ordered him to build the first
way station for the gold freighters.

Enlil bred his lineage on Earth with his wife, Sud/Ninti.
Their sons together-- Nannar/sin and Ishkur/adad/teshub--reinforced
him and his eldest son, Ninurta (Enlil's illicit child with Ninmah)
in their struggles with the Enkiites.

By some 400,000 years ago, Enlil had built seven Mission
Centers in Mesopotamia. The centers: Sippar the Spaceport; Nippur,
Mission Control; Badtibira, Metalurgical Center; Shurrupak, Med
Center.

Anzu, kinsman to the deposed and deceased King Alalu,
commanded 300 NIBIRANS ON MARS BASE and in the shuttle service. His
men, the Igigi, rocketed gold from Mesopotamia, where Enki's sea
vessels brought it from Africa. Anzu's men on Mars transferred the
gold to spaceships bound for Nibiru. On Nibiru, scientists powdered
the gold and seeded it into the air. "Slowly was the breach in the
heavens healing." [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki, page
117]

The Igigi, led by Anzu, demanded Enlil grant them better
working conditions, more elixir from the fruit Ninmah grew and a rest
facility on Earth. King Anu beamed orders from Nibiru for Anzu to go
to Enlil on Earth. Enlil must, the King ordered, show Anzu the
entire mining operation so he'd understand why the Igigi must
persevere.

Anzu landed at Nippur, Enil's Capitol. Though Anu'd ordered
him to show his operations to Anzu, Enlil stalled. Enlil's father,
King Anu, had killed Anzu's kinsman, Alalu. Now Anzu incited the
Igigi. Enlil insisted he--not Anzu--gave orders to the Astronauts.
Enlil believed that he alone bossed the entire Earth operation; Anzu
and the astronauts must obey, not challenge him.

Enki, however, persuaded Enlil to explain the gold mining,
refining and transport system to Anzu. Our father, King Anu, said
Enki, says to convince Anzu to keep his men on the job.* So Enlil
admitted Anzu to his chambers.

But when Enlil undressed and set down the key to his control
room, Anzu purloined the key. Anzu slipped into the control room and
stole the computer crystals that ran the spaceport and the astronaut
cities in Mesopotamia. Anzu forced Ea's pilot Abgal to take him to
the spaceport, Shu.ru.pak. There, Anzu's men declared him King of
Earth and Mars. Anzu shut down vital services at headquarters (Nibru-
ki) and cut communication between Earth and Nibiru.

Ninurta (Enlil and Ninmah's son) shot Anzu down in an
spectacular air battle. Ninurta then freed Abgal, captured Anzu and
retrieved the crystals.

Ninurta, Enlil's Eldest Son, "Foremost Warrior" brought Anzu
before Enlil [copied from Sitchin, Z., 1985, The Wars of Gods and
Men, page124--Drawing of cylinder seal VA/243, Berlin Museum]

The Seven Who Judge--Ea/Enki, Damkina/Ninki, Marduk/Ra,
Nannar/Sin, Enlil/Yawheh, Ninmah/Ninharsag and Ninurta--ordered Anzu
executed "with a killing ray." [Sitchin, Z., 1985, The Wars of Gods
and Men, page 99]

Sitchin, in The 12th Planet [pages 107 -116] wrote that
Nannar, Enlil's Legal Heir ( (Enlil's first son by Sud/Ninti( his
legal spouse) directed Anzu's revolt. Nannar, with Anzu as his
agent, intended the revolt as a challenge to his half-brother Ninurta
(Enlil's Firstborn) for Command of Earth. Enlil therefore exiled
Nannar from Ur. Nonetheless, after Enlil's son Ninurta defeated the
Igigi and executed their leader, Anzu, all the Nibiran leaders--
including Nannar,--pledged to honor Ninurta as Enlil's successor on
Earth. Before, Ninurta was Enlil's successor only on Nibiru; Enlil's
successor on Earth had been Nannar, Enlil's son with Sud. [Sitchin,
Z., 1985, The Wars of Gods and Men, pages 95 -102].

Ninurta, now Enlil's "Foremost Warrior," enforced Enlil's
rule over the entire system of gold extraction, processing, and
transportation to Nibiru.

To make sure Ninurta's obeyed, Enlil gave him the IB
missile, "a weapon with fifty killing heads."

Marduk, however, sympathized with the Igigi complaint that
made them revolt–no R&R facilities on Earth, infrequent rotations
back to Nibiru, little elixir.

Marduk, Enlil ordered, to Mars take Anzu and there bury him
that the Igigi see it is I alone they must obey or die as did Anzu.
Improve conditions and boost morale there but let them see the wages
of rebellion. [Info from Sitchin, Z., 1985, The Wars of Gods and Men,
pages 95 -102; Lessin invented italicized dialogue].

Each 3,600 year revolution of Nibiru to the region of Solaris
created ever more violent disturbances on Nibiru, the sun (huge solar
flares) Mars (Lahmu) and Earth. On Earth, Enki's son Nergal reported
from the south tip of Africa that the Antarctic ice sheet was sliding
to the ocean and would, next approach of Nibiru, slide into the sea
and cause wave reverberations that would engulf most of Earth.

The Adamite and Adapite Hybrid Erectus/Nibiran Earthlings
were both part of a species Enki, Ningishzidda and Ninmah created in
violation of interplanetary law. Commander Enlil planned to let
these Earthlings drown when, next time Nibiru neared Earth and the
Antractic Icesheet would slip into the sea. The icesheet's immersion
in the South Sea would inundate all Earth except great peaks. Then,
Enlil calculated, the Nibiran gold-mining operations on Earth would
end and the Nibirans could return to Nibiru.

King Anu and the Counsel on Nibiru beamed Earth: "'For
evacuating Earth and Lahmu prepare.' In the Abzu [Zimbabwe] the gold
mines shut down; therefrom the Anunnaki [colonists on Earth from
Nibiru] to the Edin came; ... smelting and refining ceased, all gold
to Nibiru was lofted. Empty, for evacuating ready, a fleet of
celestial chariots [interplanetary spaceships] to Earth returned."

Astronauts with Adapite wives and children, Enlil decreed,
must move to the peaks above wave level. When the deluge engulfed
Earth, repatriating colonists would rocket to Nibiru, Enki, Ninmah,
and I--as well as our sons, daughters and their descendants--will
orbit Earth till the Earthlings drown and the waters recede. MARDUK
WAS TO SHELTER ON MARSBASE; Enlil's son Nannar would wait out Earth's
flood on the moon. [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki:230].
