Female troubles: Daughters of Fallen Angels


(Eternal Prophecy Films) The untold story of the Daughters of the "Fallen Angels" (the union producing hybrid human Titans/Nephilim goddesses, in the Dharmic religions known as beautiful and seductive Asuras, Devis, Apsaras...)

(Scripture Origins) Female Nephilim: Book of Enoch on Watchers' daughters
POEM: "The Female of the Species"
Rudyard Kipling (1911), a British writer in India
She stoops to conquer: Femme Fatale
When the Himalayan peasant meets the he-bear in his pride,
He shouts to scare the monster, who will often turn aside.
But the she-bear thus accosted rends the peasant tooth and nail.
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.

When Nag the basking cobra hears the careless foot of man,
He will sometimes wriggle sideways and avoid it if he can.
But his mate makes no such motion where she camps beside the trail.
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.

When the early Jesuit fathers preached to Hurons and Choctaws,
They prayed to be delivered from the vengeance of the squaws.
'Twas the women, not the warriors, turned those stark enthusiasts pale.
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.

Man's timid heart is bursting with the things he must not say,
For the Woman that God gave him isn't his to give away;
But when hunter meets with husbands, each confirms the other's tale --
The female of the species is more deadly than the male.

Man, a bear in most relations -- worm and savage otherwise, --
Man propounds negotiations, Man accepts the compromise.
Very rarely will he squarely push the logic of a fact
To its ultimate conclusion in unmitigated act.

Fear, or foolishness, impels him, ere he lay the wicked low,
To concede some form of trial even to his fiercest foe.
Mirth obscene diverts his anger --- Doubt and Pity oft perplex
Him in dealing with an issue -- to the scandal of The Sex!

But the Woman that God gave him, every fiber of her frame
Proves her launched for one sole issue, armed and engined for the same,
And to serve that single issue, lest the generations fail,
The female of the species must be deadlier than the male.

She who faces Death by torture for each life beneath her breast
May not deal in doubt or pity -- must not swerve for fact or jest.
These be purely male diversions -- not in these her honor dwells.
She the Other Law we live by, is that Law and nothing else.

She can bring no more to living than the powers that make her great
As the Mother of the Infant and the Mistress of the Mate.
And when Babe and Man are lacking and she strides unchained to claim
Her right as femme (and baron), her equipment is the same.

She is wedded to convictions -- in default of grosser ties;
Her contentions are her children, Heaven help him who denies! --
He will meet no suave discussion, but the instant, white-hot, wild,
Wakened female of the species warring as for spouse and child.

Unprovoked and awful charges -- even so the she-bear fights,
Speech that drips, corrodes, and poisons -- even so the cobra bites,
Scientific vivisection of one nerve till it is raw
And the victim writhes in anguish -- like the Jesuit with the squaw!

So it comes that Man, the coward, when he gathers to confer
With his fellow-braves in council, dare not leave a place for her
Where, at war with Life and Conscience, he uplifts his erring hands
To some God of Abstract Justice -- which no woman understands.

And Man knows it! Knows, moreover, that the Woman that God gave him
Must command but may not govern -- shall enthrall but not enslave him.
And She knows, because She warns him, and Her instincts never fail,
That the Female of Her Species is more deadly than the Male.

Int'l Day of Women and Girls in Science

.
Beauty-and-brains combine: Latina genius
The International Day of Women and Girls in Science is an annual observance adopted by the United Nations General Assembly to promote equal participation of women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields [1].
  • Did the world forget all the female greats in herstory (his-story)? There was Kwan Yin (Buddhist Goddess of Compassion); Scheherazade; Asherah (the Jews' God's wife); Ven. Khema and Ven. Uppalavanna (the Buddha's chief female disciples); the world's first Buddhist nun (the Buddha's mother Maha Pajapati); Prince Siddhartha's wife -- who became an enlightened Buddhist nun and the top debater in the land -- found hidden all over ancient Buddhist texts by many and varied names: Rahulamata (Rāhula's mother), Bhaddakaccā (Lucky One), Yasodharā (Graceful), Bimbā Devī (Princess Bimba), Bimbā-sundarī (Bimba the Beautiful), Bhadda-kaccānā (Lucky Kaccana), Subhaddakā; though Mahayana Buddhist texts favor the epithet "Yasodharā" the daughter of Dandapānī, she was born Bimbā, and names like Yosadhāri were descriptive epithets applied to her, which later became regarded as names. It is also possible that in Gautama's court there was a Yasodharā, daughter of Dandapānī, and that there later came to be a confusion of names (Dictionary of Pali Proper Names).
Al-Lat in Islam, the pre-Muslim Goddess the Patriarchy buried and nearly forgot.

What did we lose by losing our Goddess?
The U.N. General Assembly passed the resolution in 2015 [2], which proclaimed February 11th as the commemoration of the observance [3].

A theme is selected annually as a focus point for gender equality [or parity] in science [4].

The International Day of Women and Girls in Science is implemented annually at the U.N. Headquarters by the Royal Academy of Science International Trust in partnership with UNESCO and UN Women to promote the role of women and girls in scientific fields and celebrate those who have been successful in the field [5].

The smartest woman in (literary) history?

Sultan and Scheherazade (1001 Nights)
She
her
azade (mnemonic "She Her a Sadie," Scheherazade, Shahrazad, Šahrzād) is the legendary narrator and central character framing One Thousand and One Nights (Arabic ألف وواحد ليلة, Romanized Alf wa waħid layla).

This collection of Middle Eastern, South Asian, and North African folktales compiled in Arabic between the 8th-14th centuries is a powerhouse in the West, where its origins are deemphasized.
Princess Yasodhara, Prince Siddhartha's wife
Sheherazade
is the super smart wife of King Shahryar who saves herself, and ultimately all the women in the kingdom, from execution by recounting a continuous sequence of interlinked stories over the course of 1,001 nights.

Sheherazade is not the protagonist in the individual tales she narrates. Rather, she functions as the unifying narrative consciousness of the entire work of brilliance. She's the storyteller.

Through [the use of cliffhangers or] deliberate pacing, narrative suspense, and thematic selection, she gradually transforms King Shahryar from a ruler driven by misogyny and vengeance into a just and stable king. More

Shocking book on Epstein, Trump, Maxwell

Sex trafficked child Virginia Roberts worked at Trump's Mar a Lago.

Silenced for speaking out
Virginia Roberts Giuffre
's bombshell tell-all book is rocking the Epstein/Maxwell world and Donald "John" Trump's role in molesting, raping, and trafficking American girls, while lying about it and hiding the Epstein Files and Client List. Trump has used his personal lawyer, whom he gave a prominent job in government, the role of holding out a carrot to convicted co-conspirator Ghislane Maxwell (Mossad asset or agent and professional blackmailer alongside Jeffrey Epstein) to state that Trump never did anything. She went further than that by stating the same old lies that got her convicted, claiming she never saw anyone doing anything illegal. Meanwhile, Epstein is hiding out on Pedophile Island, Little St. James in the U.S. Virgin Islands, where he was recently spotted and videotaped by a drone as he relaxed, chatted, and drove around on a golf cart as Trump administration, FBI (liars Director Ka$h Patel and disgusting traitor Dan Bongino), and jailhouse officials claim he committed "suicide" despite clear evidence to the contrary. When the CIA and Mossad are on your side, who can be against you? Certainly not a young lady living in Australia and making documented accusations against Epstein's good friends the British [Reptilian] royals Prince Andrew and Sarah Duchess of York.

That's clearly not Jeffrey Epstein. That's just a man who looks exactly like him on his island.

Ghislane who? I'm not familiar with, oh, you mean Maxwell, asking for a pardon? I'dunno.
I was just an innocent girl working at Trump's Mar a Lago as a child. No one cared about me.

I was a child, hired by Trump, taken by Epstein, and forced into sex trafficking by Maxwell.

Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice

I named names; they killed me.
This shocking brand-new exposé by Virginia Roberts Giuffre has 4.0 out of 5 stars with two ratings. It is #14 on the Amazon Charts this week.

This unforgettable memoir is by the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre, the molested and trafficked girl who became the woman who dared to take on [Mossad/CIA assets] Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Israel Prime Minister Ehud Barak raped me
She reports she was raped, beaten, bloodied by child molester Israeli PM Ehud Barak

Prince Andrew swears that's not his left hand.
The world knows Trump's child laborer Virginia Roberts Giuffre as Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s most outspoken victim: the female whose decision to speak out helped send both serial child sex abusers to prison, whose photograph with Prince Andrew catalyzed his fall from grace.

We went through so many girls together. So?
But her story has never been told in full, in her own words—until now. In April 2025, she was [assassinated and that murder made to look as if she] took her own life.

She left behind this memoir written in the years preceding her mysterious death and stated unequivocally that she wanted it published.

Partners-in-crime: We molest and blackmail.
Nobody’s Girl is the riveting and powerful story of an ordinary American girl who would grow up to be exploited by Donald J. Trump at Mar a Lago and then by his best friend and convicted child molester Jeffrey Epstein, the owner of "Pedophile Island" and the "Lolita Express" where she would confront extraordinary adversity.

Here, she offers an unsparing and definitive account of her time being sex trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell, who raped, abused, and sold her and other children to numerous prominent men [such as Pres. Trump].

I love Agent Ghislane, and I will protect her.
She also details the molestation she suffered as a child, as well as her daring escape from Epstein and Maxwell’s grasp at 19.

Maxwells: Jewish Israeli spies
She remade her life from scratch and summoned the courage to not only hold her sexual abusers to account but also advocate for other child sex victims.

The pages of Nobody’s Girl preserve her voice—and her legacy—forever. Nobody’s Girl is an astonishing affirmation of her unshakable will—first, to claw her way out of victimhood then to shine light on wrongdoing and fight for a safer, fairer world.

Equal parts intimate and fierce, it is a remarkable narrative of fortitude in the face of sexual depravity in our patriarchy and the despair it brings. More

*Epstein trafficked children to Jewish Israeli officials

Accused pedo Israeli PM Barak
While scheduling the meeting with Palantir billionaire Peter Thiel, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak also tried to arrange to meet Russian Pres. Vlad Putin's ally Viktor Vekselberg early in June 2014 [36]. An email sent in April 2015 shows that PM Barak asked Jeffrey Epstein for his opinion on Vekselberg-backed Fifth Dimension, a startup which later shut down after being sanctioned in 2018 by the U.S. for election meddling [36].

I love killing for our Israel's IDF (Benny Gantz)
This startup's leadership also included former IDF Chief-of-Staff Benny Gantz and former Deputy Mossad Director Ram Ben-Barak [38]. Epstein child sex victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre claimed that she had been sexually assaulted by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak after being child sex trafficked to him by serial child molester [and Mossad asset] Epstein.

We Zionist Jewish men love kids.
The claim came to light in a 2020 court filing by accused child molester and attorney for Israel Alan Dershowitz (pictured at right).

Both Zionist-Jewish American attorney Alan Dershowitz and Israeli PM Ehud Barak denied the validity of her claims [39]. [She would have been just a child when, I mean if, we molested her! Who's going to believe a child?] More

Serial killer rapist kidnaps the wrong girl

(Unseen) 

I'm white. Why would I do that?
Bobby Joe Long
[a] (Oct. 14, 1953–May 23, 2019) was a white rapist and American serial killer. During an eight-month period in 1984, Long abducted, sexually assaulted, and murdered at least ten females in Tampa Bay, Florida. At trial, Long was sentenced to death for one of the murders and given a life sentence for seven others. He was brought to justice by a girl he raped, 17-year-old Lisa McVey, who got back at him. He was sentenced to death in 1986 by the state of Florida for the murder of Michelle Denise Simms. He was executed by lethal injection on May 23, 2019. More: Bobby Joe Long

Poem: Death, be not proud; Buddhism


Why Death is NOT the end – The Buddha’s Wisdom on Dying and Beyond
(Buddhism Podcast) Sept. 11, 2025: Buddhism Explained. Discover the historical Buddha’s timeless wisdom on life, death, and what lies beyond [rebirth in endless samsara]. In Buddhism, death is not the end—it is a transition in the endless cycle of rebirth. This video explores key teachings such as
  • mindfulness of death (maraṇasati),
  • the Five Remembrances, and
  • the Path to Nirvana (Nibbana)—the ultimate freedom beyond rebirth and death.
Through the story of the mother Kisagotami, the Buddha’s “Three Knowledges,” and profound insights into impermanence, we learn how to transform fear into understanding and live with clarity, compassion, and purpose. Let Death become a teacher, not something to fear.

Holy Sonnets: Death, be not proud
By John Donne
Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.
Mara's daughters: Craving, Lust, and Surfeit
"Sonnet X" is also known by its opening words as "Death Be Not Proud." It is a 14-line poem, a sonnet, by English poet John Donne (1572–1631), one of the leading figures in the metaphysical poets group of 17th-century English literature.

Written between February and August 1609, it was first published posthumously in 1633. The poem is included as one of the 19 sonnets that comprise Donne's Holy Sonnets or Divine Meditations, among his best-known works.

Most editions number the poem as the tenth in the sonnet sequence, which follows the order of poems in the Westmoreland Manuscript (c. 1620), the most complete arrangement of the cycle, discovered in the late 19th century.

However, two editions published shortly after Donne's death include the sonnets in a different order, where this poem appears as 11th in the Songs and Sonnets (published 1633) and sixth in Divine Meditations (published 1635).

What is it about?
What I meant was... (John Donne)
"Death Be Not Proud" presents an argument against the power of death. Addressing Death as a person, the speaker warns Death against pride in his power.

Such power is merely an illusion, and the end Death thinks it brings to men and women is in fact a rest from world-weariness for its alleged "victims."

The poet criticizes Death as a slave to other forces: fate, chance, kings, and desperate men. Death is not in control, for a variety of other powers exercise their volition in taking lives.

Even in the rest it brings, Death is inferior to drugs. Finally, the speaker predicts the end of Death itself, stating, "Death, thou shalt die." More

"Daughters of the Buddha" (video review)


Daughters of the Buddha: Stories of Ancient Buddhist Women
What's a nun ever done? Plenty!
(Doug's Dharma) April 1, 2024: Western Theravada scholar-monk Bhikkhu Anālayo's book on ancient Buddhist women in proto-India was released a few months ago: Daughters of the Buddha: Teachings by Ancient Indian Women. Doug reviews it then turns to five important and illustrative stories that Ven. Anālayo tells, including one that is of particular relevance today.

Daughters of the Buddha: Teachings by Ancient Indian Women
This book by Ven. Analayo (with a foreword by Ven. Nun Dhammananda) has received 4.8 out of 5 stars with 8 ratings.

It is a testimony to the invaluable contributions made by the women who were direct disciples of the historical Buddha — and a source of inspiration to Buddhist women today.

It’s a common misconception that the earliest textual records do not contain many, if any, teachings by the Buddha’s female disciples. This is not the case.

The fact is the earliest discourses (sutras) record a range of teachings from Buddhist women, lay and monastic. Unfortunately, their important contributions have so far not received the attention they deserve.

Fully ordained Buddhist bhikkhunis ("nuns") in the ancient orthodox Theravada tradition

.
In Daughters of the Buddha, esteemed scholar-monk Bhikkhu Analayo examines the accounts of the first female disciples in the canonical scripture, taking the reader back to the earliest period in the history of Buddhism that can still be accessed today.

Sangha is only complete with females.
He dedicates each of the 21 chapters in the volume to an individual and remarkable woman, sharing her particular insights and teachings with the reader.

Both Buddhist nuns and laywomen are featured in these pages, and their diversity of voices and richness of thought will serve as instruction and encouragement for modern scholars and practitioners alike.
