"Dove" the Destroyer

In the James Bond movie "For Your Eyes Only", the character named KRISTatos 

informs the viewer:

Milos Columbo. His name came up in connection with a smuggling operation last 

year.  That's the least of his offenses. Drugs, white slavery, contract murder.  In 

the Greek underworld, he is known as "the Dove."  A very sick joke.

Leaving behind the murky world of fiction, where everything is "based on a true 

story", we venture into the supposedly liberating world of history, where fact is 

often concealed.  We turn our attention to a man whose name means "Dove", as if 

some kind of "sick joke":  Titus the Destroyer, known officially as Titus Flavius 

Caesar Vespasianus Augustus, well-known to anyone who has read Flavius 

Josephus' "The Wars of the Jews".  This is "the son" of the 

General-turned-Emperor Vespasian.  Commissioned by his father to carry on 

the Roman war in Galilee and Judaean and to lay siege to Jerusalem, "Hawk" 

would have been a far better name for the man.

Where do we learn that Titus means "Dove"?  On page 130 of 

"Our Italian Surnames", by Joseph Guerin Fucilla, we find that "[t]he Romans 

enjoyed conferring bird names upon their fellow men such as Titus, dove, 

Gaius, magpie, Gallus, rooster..." etc.  (There was a Cestius Gallus, a Roman 

General that Vespasian replaced, a contemporary of the resistance leader 

Simon, making us wonder if this is the cock that crowed three times when Simon 

Peter denied "Jesus".)

Given what we now know about the name "Titus", we can make some sense out 

of the scene of the baptism of "Jesus" by "John", where "the Spirit" descends "in 

the form of" or "like" a dove.  The authors of the Christian "Gospels" or "Good 

News" accounts are informing us that "Jesus the Savior" is none other than "Titus 

the Destroyer".  (Inversion is the simplest of methods of hiding the truth.)  The 

Roman Flavian family (consisting of Vespasian, Titus and Domitian), who reigned 

as Roman Emperor until the end of the "First Century" are sharing an inside joke 

with the Roman elites about how they were able to con some of the Jews into 

worshiping the Emperor, a mere man, as Diius ("God").

The connection in the Christian scriptures doesn't end there.  The Hebrew word 

for "dove" is יונה "Jonah".  With this in hand, we can no make better sense out of 

another "Jesus saying" that is typically interpreting in an altogether different 

fashion than what we will arrive at, "There shall be no sign given ... but the sign of 

Jonas the prophet."  Note that while the other 3 Gospel narratives associate this 

answer to a request for a sign from heaven with the "signs of the times", namely 

the impending destruction of Jerusalem, the Gospel of Mark makes no mention 

of Jonas.  This actually supports my theory that the Gospel of Mark is indeed the  

Priority text (i.e., the first of the canonical Gospels), as scholarly consensus goes, 

and that it was probably authored by Vespasian (Marcus Aurelius-style, meaning 

"on the battlefield", as the later Aurelius is supposed to have done with his Stoic 

philosophical work "Meditations") or one of his people, since it makes no mention 

of his son "Jonas".

So what was this sign of Jonas the prophet?  Well, we know that the prophet Jonah 

went to non-Jewish Nineveh to warn it that it would be destroyed if it didn't repent. 

The inversion of this is a non-Jewish Titus going to a Jewish Jerusalem to warn it 

about the destruction which he would carry out if it didn't follow his orders.  Titus 

the Destroyer was the "Second Coming" of "Jesus", the literary gloss of a Dovish 

Messiah that was retrofitted to recent Jewish history.  As with the expectations 

concerning "Jesus" at his "Second Coming" that are often held by fundamentalist 

Christians, Titus played the role of Conqueror, Destroyer and Judge.

Much more can be said on this and related subjects and I hope to do so at a later 

date.  I owe mountains of credit to the work of Robert Eisenman, Joseph Atwill 

and Cliff Carrington (and to a lesser degree, Barbara Thiering), without whom I 

may not have been able to make these and other important connections.
