The English word ‘dragon’ is derived from the Old English ‘draco.’ A name that means “a large serpent.
Draco (Apaicwv, a dragon), the large serpent was the first true lawgiver of Greece who ruled over one of the world’s oldest and most powerful cities, the city of Athens (Αθήνα, Athína, Ancient Greek: Ἀθῆναι, Athēnai). Athens is the largest city and capital of Greece.
It was here, where Draco who was also “Archon Eponymus” had changed the old system of oral law and blood feud, to what can now be considered the Rule of Law which were the first written laws to be enforced only by a court, and that became the first written constitution of Athens. Up to his time the laws of Athens were unwritten.
The Laws of Draco would later become known as “Draconian Laws.” They were draconian because these laws were harsh. For example, the result of being found guilty of breaking these newly written laws would end in either perpetual slavery for unlucky debtors, or often death for other legal offenders.
Plutarch states: “It was a lot for himself, when asked why he had fixed the punishment of death for most offences, answered that he considered these lesser crimes to deserve it, and he had no greater punishment for more important ones.”
Crimes that today, that you would get a simple prison sentence of 1-5 years. These ancient law breakers of Greece would think that our current US justice system is akin to a legal Disneyland, and I would tend to agree with them.
This was a rather dark time for Greece and the City of Athens. A time of blood shed, and feudal battles amongst rival royal families. Athens only truly became a great city and democracy after the reforms to these draconian laws, approximately 100 years later when a famous mythological lawgiver named Solon (638 BC – 558 BC) had helped change the law codes with the help of a friend from Crete. Solon was a man of noble birth who was a lover of learning and a poet. He is credited with having laid the foundations for the Athenian democracy and had ruled Athens according to most chronologists in the year B.c. 594.
This would be 18 years after the insurrection of Cylon, and 30 years from the attempt of the first legislator of Athens, Draco had crushed the rising spirit of democracy.

In this video below, taken by a group of hikers in the Tantalus Range near Squamish, British Columbia, there appears to be a human like figure moving several thousand feet below them on the snow.
The hikers are amazed that there is someone else out there in the middle of nowhere with them and that it is able to move so swiftly.
Could this be a true life encounter with real Sasquatch, or is this video trickery?
The videographer, MLam had posted this on his Youtube channel:
This video was only uploaded for the benefit of a couple of friends, we had no intention for it to gather the interest it has. We are not claiming this to be anything other than a strange encounter based on some of the reasons below:
1) We were able to view the subject much better than what the video portrays as it was just a simple point and shoot camera. Contrast was excellent due to the snow behind the subject.
2) The subject was clearly bipedal and was without snowshoes or a backpack and wearing all one coloured clothing. Movement over this kind of terrain in soft snow without snowshoes would have been very difficult and the distance traveled over the given time period would have been very fast for a human without proper snow travel gear.
3) There was a very steep drop off below where the video was shot, easily a 300m sheer face. We were not equipped with climbing gear and a descent around would have been impossible before nightfall.
4) We have encountered bears on the approach to this summit in the past, this video is most definitely not showing a bear or any other wild animal.
5) Perhaps the most reasonable explanation for this video is a very ill prepared hiker, hiking up a difficult section of snowline as opposed to a much easier route, one who is very physically fit and able to cover ground in unusually quick fashion and must have had very large feet as we were breaking through snow crust in just our boots.

I have sad news for the truth movement. Michael Ruppert, a 63-year-old American author, and former Los Angeles Police Department officer, shot himself in the head after his radio show this past Sunday evening. He was best known for his theories such as C.I.A. drug running, and that the U.S. government and Wall Street were behind the 9/11 attacks that brought down the Twin Towers.
This news was from a close friend of Mr. Rupperts named Carolyn Baker who had posted the news on her Facebook page:
This was not a ”fake” suicide. It was very well planned by Mike who gave us few clues but elaborate instructions for how to proceed without him. It was my privilege to have known Mike for 14 years, to have worked with him, to have been mentored by him, and to have supported him in some of his darkest hours, including the more recent ones…. Thank you Mike for all of the truth you courageously exposed and for the legacy of truth-telling you left us. Goodbye my friend. Your memory will live in hour hearts forever.
In this recent video below from Vice called “Apocalypse, Man: Michael C. Ruppert on World’s End,” Ruppert actually states he is going to commit suicide.
Attempts to contact author Carolyn Baker were so far unsuccessful. Phone numbers connected to Mr Ruppert’s businesses were disconnected.
Max Mogren, who worked with Mr Ruppert for 15 months between 2011 and 2012, could not confirm his death today but said that a lot of his former colleagues’ close friends had posted messages of condolence online. Mr Mogren told MailOnline today that Mr Ruppert was very passionate and very committed to his work. Mr Mogren said: ‘He believed what he believed. All of his work was motivated by his love of humanity.’
Mike resigned from the LAPD in late 1978 after receiving death threats for refusing to participate in operations involving CIA drug smuggling into the U.S. As a whistleblower, Mike spent years in his own wilderness before revelations and government documents confirmed his allegations. He came into the public spotlight after a 1996 confrontation with then CIA Director John Deutch. Many credited Mike’s fearless performance on live TV with costing Deutch what was considered to be a guaranteed appointment as Secretary of Defense.
More about Michael Ruppert:
On November 15, 1996, then Director of Central IntelligenceJohn Deutch visited Los Angeles’ Locke High School for a town hall meeting. At the meeting, Ruppert publicly confronted Deutch, saying that in his experience as an LAPD narcotics officer he had seen evidence of CIA complicity in drug dealing.[11] The confrontation was handled by Deutch poorly,resulting in his termination from the CIA.
Ruppert went on to become an investigator and journalist and established the publication From The Wilderness, a watchdog publication that exposed governmental corruption, including his experience with CIA drug dealing activities.
