Judaism
Note: The Hebrew Bible or Tanakh is roughly equivalent to the Christian Old Testament, and has
three parts, Torah, Nevi'im & Ketuvim. The Torah, in the narrow sense (the Written Torah) is the
Pentateuch, the first five books of the Bible. The Nevi'im are the Prophets - Samuel, Kings,
Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and the Twelve Minor Prophets. The Ketuvim is the Writings, including
Psalms and Proverbs, Esther and Ecclesiastes, Daniel, Chronicles, Ruth, and the love poetry of
Song of Songs. If you take the T (from Torah), the N (from Nevi'im) and the K (from Ketuvim),
and put them together in one word, you have TNK. Add some vowels and it becomes the
Tanakh.Text versions of the Torah, Nevi'im & Ketuvim are available in English with some useful
further information at:

Great site. Check out the popular maps, shows how the corporate world is heavily interconnected
into one another. Combine this with info from the revolving door site on how corp executives get
into government positions, and you've got yourself one hell of a conspiracy theory.

Updated a few other things on the list as well.
