MISANTLA CHRONICLES—(The Chronicles) A singular collection of Mesoamerican accounts recorded on bark paper codices, clay tablets, and metal sheets made from brass, rose gold, and nearly 100% gold. They were sealed up by a large stone plug in a stone room hewn out of a limestone cliff-side near Misantla, Mexico in approximately 350 CE. The records on the brass sheets are written in Hebraic and hieratic Egyptian script and contain a Judahite history prior to the Babylonian exile of the Jews, including the earliest copy of the Tanakh extant. Most of the other records are written in an unknown language, but a portion of them have been translated using a unique Rosetta-Stone-like Mayan codex. A set of records written on almost pure gold plates is in a language that has not yet been deciphered. With the records, was a sword that is of mid-eastern origin, circa 800 BCE, and a gold-brass sphere that apparently was used for direction and communication. The technology needed to construct such an instrument is beyond what we have now. As per the records that have been translated to date, the people who kept them, migrated from Jerusalem to Mesoamerica around 580-590 BCE. They formed their own communities among the indigenous people—presumably, the Maya, Olmec and others. The overarching theme of the records translated to-date is their focus on Jesus Christ, his reality and his message. That the Book of Mormon, brought forth by Joseph Smith, the American prophet, and published in 1830, is a literal abridgment of the already translated Misantla Chronicles, is beyond dispute. The discovery of the Misantla Chronicles was made by an INAH team of anthropologist-archeologists, led by Dr. Nathan Hill, UCLA.

The missile, with its man-portable ground launcher, weighs under 500 pounds. The missile-bomb itself, including guidance system and payload, weighs less than 300 pounds. Bombs and launching devices are produced using 3D printers which allow for much lighter, adequately strong casings and parts. The missiles are 6’2” long, 11” diameter, and carry a nuclear warhead that is 11” diameter, 20” long, and is a Fusion (Plutonium), 2-stage nuclear device, with a dial-a-destruction range from 2 kilo tons to 8 kilo tons.

The desired flight level is maintained by its built-in radar that adjusts its height in relation to terrain. The speed of the missile, from 50 to 400 mph, the height over the target when it explodes, and the magnitude of the blast are programmed remotely using three transmitters that are synced to one another and to the specific VINT they accompany. The VINT has an effective range of 20 to 300 miles. The missile’s solid fuel booster engine elevates it 500 feet above ground before falling off and allowing the missile’s state-of-the-art Whisper Quiet turbofan engine to carry the missile to target. The system can be disassembled for shipping in separate small containers, then reassembled within one hour.
