Marxism and Nazism – Drivers of the New World Order Agenda

At this moment in our history I feel it is very important to bring forward information for your consideration that I have compiled in past research with regards to the subjects of Marxism and Nazism as drivers of the New World Order Agenda.

What we see unfolding in the world today is coming from the exact same players that destroyed the Old World and brought us their vision of the New World, which is quite dystopian in nature.

We have long-been deliberately manipulated towards an outcome that benefits the Controllers to the detriment of Humanity and all life on Earth, and it is becoming painfully clear that until something changes dramatically, and soon, it will not end well for us as current headlines are showing us their playbook, which we have already seen in the worst chapters of modern history and is very much with us today and quite painful to see happening.

This is just the tip of a very large iceberg.

I am going to go back through my research and bring forward a considerable amount of information that I have compiled on these subjects over the years.

Those behind the New World Order agenda have lots of practice in divide-and-conquer, death, propaganda, gaslighting, and many other forms of perpetrating psychological abuse and trauma on individuals and the collective.

I am going to start with information that I came across when researching American financier George Peabody a few years back in “The Secret Founding of America” book by Nicholas Hagger.

The type of information found in this book is either hard to find in writing or hard to substantiate when found in writing, but it dovetails with other information I have been finding about this period in history.

This paragraph called “Rothschilds Plan an American Central Bank” from page 73 of “The Secret Founding of America” talks about Mayer Amschel Rothschild funding Adam Weishaupt’s Order of the Illuminati in the 1770s; his five sons controlling banks in the major cities of Europe; the Rothschilds’ wanting to start a central bank in America; and several of the Rothschilds being behind the funding of both North and South “in the planned division.”

In the “planned” division?

Mayer Amschel Rothschild and his five sons established their International banking family dynasty throughout major cities of Europe.

And this is the saying that has been attributed to more than one prominent member of the Rothschild family, starting with the first London family banker, Nathan Mayer Rothschild.

Nathan Mayer Rothschild settled in Manchester, England in 1798, and established a business in textile trading and finance, and made a fortune in a banking enterprise he began in London in 1805 that dealt in foreign bills and government securities.

Nathan had become a freemason in London of the “Emulation Lodge, No. 12, of the Premier Grand Lodge of England” in October of 1802.

Adam Weishaupt established the Bavarian Order of the Illuminati on May 1st of 1776.

Born in Ingolstadt, Germany, Weishaupt was educated by Jesuits starting at the age of 7, and was initiated into Freemasonry in Munich in 1777.

Weishaupt’s radical views on Illuminism got him in trouble with the ruler in Bavaria when writings of his were intercepted and deemed seditious, and he fled to the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg under the protection of Duke Ernest II starting in 1784, and died in Gotha in Germany under the protection of the Duke in 1830.

The lineage of the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg eventually became the House of Saxe-Coburg & Gotha, to which first-cousins Queen Victoria & Prince-Consort Albert both belonged, which became known to us as the House of Windsor in 1917.

On page 174 of “The Secret Founding of America,” we find the name of “Giuseppe Mazzini,” taking over the Illuminati in 1834.

Queen Victoria’s reign began on June 20th of 1837, and lasted for almost 64-years, until her death on January 22nd of 1901.

Her reign was described as a period of cultural, industrial, political, scientific, and military change within the United Kingdom, and marked by a great expansion of the British Empire.

I firmly believe that was we know of as the Victorian era was actually the official beginning of the New World Order timeline, with Queen Victoria presiding over its official kick-off at Crystal Palace Exhibition in 1851.

While considered relatively rare in the general population, hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder in which the blood does not clot properly, and is prevalent in Europe’s royal families, thereby gaining the nickname “the royal disease,” with the hemophilia gene said to have passed from Queen Victoria to the ruling families of Russia, Spain, and Germany.

The presence of the hemophilia gene in Queen Victoria was said to have been caused by a spontaneous mutation, as she is considered the source of the disease in modern cases of hemophilia among her descendents.

Well, for one thing it looks like she was seeding the royal houses of Europe with her bloodline’s DNA….and that for some reason some of her descendents were born without the ability for their blood to clot so bleeding stops.

A rather famous case of this to come later in this post.

Lord Palmerston served as Great Britain’s Prime Minister during Queen Victoria’s reign between 1855 and 1865, which was both the year of his death, and the year the American Civil War came down an end.

Giuseppe Mazzini, an Italian politician, journalist, and revolutionary activist, had links with Lord Palmerston.

Mazzini, who had founded a political movement for Italian youth (under age 40) in 1831.

According to “The Secret Founding of America,” Mazzini sent his right-hand man, Adriano Lemmi, and Louis Kossuth, head of the radical-democratic wing of the Hungarian-nationalists during the Uprisings of 1848, to the United States to organize “Young America” Lodges based on the same ideas.

When I looked for information on the topic of Mazzini, Lemmo and Kossuth, this is what I found, a passage titled “The Ethnic Theme Parks of Mazzini’s Zoo.”

Karl Marx also happened to be living in London during this same time-frame, where he had moved in 1850, and was to have his home base in London for the rest of his life.

As a matter of fact, another German-born revolutionary socialist, Friederich Engles, and Russian revolutionary socialist, Vladimir Lenin, along with Karl Marx, all lived in London at some point in time!

Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels published their pamphlet “The Communist Manifesto” in 1848.

The Communinism espoused by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels took root in Europe in the violent Russian Revolution of 1917 that marked the end of the Romanov Dynasty and Russian Imperial rule.

Led by leftist revolutionary Vladimir Lenin, the Bolsheviks seized power and would become the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

It is not hard to find Albert Pike’s connection to Freemasonry in the historical record.

Not hard at all.

What is hard to find is Albert Pike’s and Freemasonry’s connection to historical events, and that is why I was so glad to find this, because there are other very interesting pieces of information that I have come across that point to a deep involvement in major events of the 20th-century that are hard to substantiate.

Albert Pike had several roles during the Civil War.

As mentioned in “The Secret Founding of America,” Albert Pike became the most powerful Freemason in the world when he became the Sovereign Grand Commander of the Southern Jurisdiction; he secretly organized the rebellion in the Southern States using this jurisdiction as a cover; and that most of the leadership of the Confederacy, both political and military, were Freemasons under Pike’s secret command.

One of the first times in my research that I came across Albert Pike’s name in connection with the Civil War was finding out that he was a senior officer in the Confederate Army who commanded the District of Indian Territory, what later became known as Oklahoma, in the Trans-Mississippi Theater of the American Civil War.

The Trans-Mississippi Theater of the Civil War covered everything west of the Mississippi River as pictured here.

We are told that there were all together 7 battles in Arkansas, New Mexico, Missouri and Louisiana between 1862 and 1864 in the Trans-Mississippi Theater of War.

Another significant but obscure historical event to note in Paris was the Paris Commune.

The short-lived Paris Commune was formally established on March 28th of 1871, and was a radical socialist, anti-religious and revolutionary government that ruled Paris until it was suppressed by the French army in May of 1871.

What happened in the Paris Commune was closely followed by London resident Karl Marx, who published a pamphlet in June of 1871, called “The Civil War in France,” about the significance of the struggle of the Communards in the Paris Commune.

The year of 1871 was also the year the U. S. Congress passed the “District of Columbia Organic Act,” which repealed the charters of the cities of Washington and Georgetown, and established a new territorial government for the District of Columbia.

This created a single municipal government for the federal district, which was incorporated, defined as the process of “constituting a company, city, or other organization as a legal corporation.”

Thus the 1871 U. S. Corporation was born, which opened the door for ownership by foreign interests.

And lastly, 1871 was the year that Albert Pike wrote a letter to Giuseppe Mazzini, revolutionary activist and the second leader of the Bavarian Order of the Illuminati after Adam Weishaupt’s death in 1830.

I had previously encountered three graphics in my research displaying quotes from this letter that appear to be the military blueprints for World Wars I, II, and III.

For the purposes of this post, I am going to go through historical events associated with each of the three quotes…

…and provide some answers to whether or not all of these conflicts, at least since the American Civil War, and other wars of the 19th- & 20th-centuries, been planned, even scripted out and staged, for the Controller’s desired outcome, which was world control and domination?

I will be looking at the very real possibility that the Earth’s population has been experiencing a very calculated and undeclared psychological war based on terror and trauma against all of Humanity for a very long time to bring us to what is going on against Humanity in the world in which we live in today?

Hopefully in this process I will be able to shine some light on this vast subject of what might have taken place here that is available to find in a search, that in some way, shape, and form provides a plausible explanation for how we might have gotten to this point.

Jack London, born in San Francisco on January 12th, 1876, was one of the first writers to have worldwide fame, and great financial success.

He was also an advocate of socialism.

Jack London was said to have had Marxist beliefs, espousing a progression from feudalism through capitalism, then socialism, and ending in a period without a state known as communism.

He published a book in 1908 called “The Iron Heel” about the rise of an oligarchic tyranny in the United States.

An oligarchy is a form of power structure in which power rests with a small number of people.

The story-line emphasized future changes in society and politics, and not technological changes. It is called a dystopian novel, meaning characterized by mass poverty, public mistrust and suspicion, and a police state or oppression.

So, with regards to the first quote on the First World War, Pike was talking about the Illuminati overthrowing the Czars and making Russia a fortress of atheistic communism.

World War I started after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir-presumptive to the throne of Austria-Hungary, the younger brother of Emperor Franz Joseph.

He was assassinated by Bosnian Serb student Gavrilo Princip.

He was a member of Young Bosnia, a revolutionary movement active in Bosnia-Herzegovina inspired by anarchism and socialism.

Within a short period of time, war was declared between Austria-Hungary and Serbia and their respective alliances.

The alliances of Austria-Hungary were Germany, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire, or Central Powers, and the alliances of Serbia were Great Britain, France, Russia, Romania, Italy, Japan and the United States, otherwise known as Allied Powers.

Among many other things, World War I saw unprecedented levels of carnage and destruction due to the things like the horrors of trench warfare and new military technologies.

The Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28th of 1919, and ended World War I.

What became known as the “War Guilt” clause of the Treaty required Germany, and the other Central Powers as well, to accept responsibility for causing all the loss and damage during the war.

Germany was required to disarm, make ample territorial concessions, and pay reparations to certain countries.

The former empire of Austria-Hungary was dissolved, and new nations were created: Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Hungary, and Austria.

The Ottoman Empire was also on the losing side of the war.

At the end of the war, the Ottoman Empire was partitioned and lost its Middle East holdings, which were divided between the Allied Forces.

Thus, at the end of World War I, the victorious powers divided up the Ottoman Empire, and it existed no more and within 5-years, the Republic of Turkey under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk  was established in 1923.

The violent Russian Revolution of 1917 marked the end of the Romanov Dynasty and Russian Imperial rule.

Led by leftist revolutionary Vladimir Lenin, the Bolsheviks seized power and would become the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

It is important to note that the last Empress of Russia, as spouse of the last Emperor Nicholas II, Alexandra Feodorovna, was a favorite grand-daughter of Queen Victoria and a carrier of the hemophilia gene.

Her name at birth was Princess Alix of Hesse and By Rhine, the daughter of the Grand Duke of Hesse, Louis IV, and Princess Alice of the United Kingdom.

For a variety of reasons, including being German in a Russian court and not understanding all the traditions and subtleties, she was unpopular both with the extended imperial family, and the general public, and Nicholas II had popularity issues with his people as well.

Their only son Alexey Nikolaevich was heir to the imperial throne…and a hemophiliac.

Since the incurable disease threatened the life of their only son and heir, the Crown decided to keep his condition from the public.

Alexandra brought in Siberian mystic Grigori Rasputin, who appeared to have a cure after conventional medicine failed to improve her son’s condition.

As a result he became powerful in the Russian Imperial Court, and the Empress Alexandra turned a blind-eye to his drinking and debauchery and his presence harmed their imperial prestige.

He joined the court in 1906, and was able to exert considerable influence over Russian Imperial affairs, until 1916…

…when a group of noblemen who opposed his influence over Nicholas and Alexandra assassinated him.

World War I added fuel to the fire.

Emperor Nicholas II ended up abdicating his throne on March 12th of 1917, and the Duma, a non-violent provisional government, formed.

Then in November of 1917 (which was October in the Julian calendar), Lenin and his Bolsheviks seized control of the Duma.

Civil War broke out in Russia after this took place between the warring Red Army and White Army, which was composed of loosely allied forces of monarchists, capitalists and supporters of democratic socialism.

It wasn’t enough for the Emperor to abdicate.

He, his entire family, and the retainers who accompanied them, were violently put to death by the Bolsheviks on July 16th of 1918…

…though there were persisting rumors that his daughter Anastasia might have somehow survived.

The Russian Civil War ended in 1923 with Lenin’s Red Army claiming victory and establishing the Soviet Union.

The Russian Revolution established Communism as an influential political belief system around the world, and set the stage for the rise of Communism as a world power that would go head-to-head with the United States during the Cold War.

In 1917, the Balfour Declaration was issued by the British government, during the first World War, announcing the support for the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people, written by the Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish community.

The Weimar Republic, officially called the German Reich, was the German federal state from 1918 to 1933, and the period between the end of the Imperial period, and the beginning of Nazi Germany in 1933.

The years of the Weimar Republic was characterized by economic troubles, weak government, and by decadent parties.

Under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, which was signed at the end of the first World War, Germany lost its overseas colonies and some important international trade routes.

Tea and tobacco supplies dried up quickly, but almost all drugs, including cocaine and heroin, were legal to buy.

Thus, the city of Berlin was awash with drugs, and gender rules were smashed altogether.

Many Germans financially ruined at the end of World War I.

Prostitution was deregulated, and in the 1920s the streets of Berlin were filled with prostitutes of all ages needing to make a living.

…and it wasn’t just women.

Cabarets and dance halls in Berlin were booming in Weimar Germany, with hard drugs frequently given to customers for free upon entrance.

Androgyny was all the rage in Berlin Cabarets, with some of the most popular acts being male and female impersonators.

Very similar to Las Vegas in Nevada today, with free drinks…

…and drag shows.

The 1933 German movie “Viktor und Viktoria was about a women pretending to be a female impersonator whose agent mistakenly believed she was a man…

…was re-made in 1982 into “Victor and Victoria” by Blake Edwards.

The Weimar Republic ended in 1933 with the rise to power of the National Socialist German Workers Party and its leader Adolph Hitler becoming chancellor, ruling Germany through totalitarian means until 1945, the year World War II ended.

Founded in 1919, the Nazi party promoted German pride, and were unhappy with the terms of the 1919 Treaty of Versailles that required Germany to make concessions and reparations.

Pan-Germanist groups, starting in the late 18th-century, sought to unify all German-speaking people into a single nation-state.

The Reichstag houses the Bundestag, or the lower house of the German Parliament.

The construction of the original Reichstag, or Imperial Imperial Diet of the German Empire, was said to have begun in 1884 and completed in 1894.

The Reichstag Fire in February of 1933 was considered an act of arson, and took place four-weeks after Adolph Hitler was sworn in as Chancellor of Germany.

As a result of the Reichstag Fire event, the Reichstag Fire Decree was issued in 1933, which suspended civil liberties of German citizens.

The decree was used as the legal basis for the imprisonment of anyone considered to be opponents of the Nazis and/or suppressing opposition publications.

The “Heim ins Reich,” or “Back Home to the Reich,” was a foreign policy starting in 1938 by Hitler and pursued during the course of World War II.

His goal was to convince all ethnic Germans living in Austria, Czechoslovakia, and the western districts of Poland that they should strive to bring these regions “home” to greater Germany.

While there was still resistance within Austria to annexation with Germany and the dissolution of the Austrian state in the early 1930s, agents cultivated pro-Austrian tendencies there and the stage was ultimately set for the German Wehrmacht entered Austria without opposition by the Austrian army on March 12th of 1938, and a referendum officially ratified the annexation, or “Anschluss” of Austria to Germany’s Third Reich on April 10th of 1938.

For the Second World War, Pike talked about taking advantage of the differences between Fascists and Zionists; destroying Nazism; Zionism creating Israel, and Communism being strong enough to control Christendom.

World War II completely ended on September 2nd of 1945, almost six years to the day of the beginning of the war on September 1st of 1939.

The Generalplan Ost was the Nazi Government plan for genocide and “ethnic cleansing” on a vast scale, and the colonization of central and eastern Europe by Germany.

It directly and indirectly led to the deaths of millions by shootings, starvation, disease, and extermination through labor and genocide.

And there is actually a precedent here that I found in my research for what I am talking about.

This photo is designated to be one of survivors of the Herero & Namaqua genocide circa 1907.

The Herero & Namaqua genocide was the first genocide of the 20th-century, and waged by the German Empire between 1904 and 1908 against the Herero, the Nama, and the San peoples in what was German South West Africa, which is now Namibia, and in 1985, the United Nations’ Whittaker Report determined that the aftermath was an attempt to exterminate these peoples of southwest Africa.

These are Herero women pictured here.

There were an estimated number of deaths of between 24,000 and 100,000 for the Herero; 10,000 for the Nama, and an unknown number of deaths for the San, of which the ones that didn’t die from starvation and dehydration in the Namibian desert when they were driven there by German army forces, were placed in concentration camps where they died from diseases, abuse, and exhaustion.

The San, also known as bushmen, are considered the oldest inhabitants of southern Africa, with a history there said to date back at least 20,000-years, and are among the oldest peoples in the world.

The body responsible for the Generalplan Ost during World War II was the Reich Main Security Office of the SS under the direction of Himmler, the main architect behind the Holocaust and overseer of the building of concentration camps.

A prosecution witness at the Nuremburg trials, who had been a trusted “Obergruppenfuhrer” in the planning stages, reported that Himmler openly said, as the Generalplan Ost was being formulated, “It is a question of existence, thus it will be a racial struggle of pitiless severity, in the course of which 20- to 30-million Slavs and Jews will perish through military actions and the crises of food supply.

The wartime documentation of the Generalplan Ost, part of the “drang nach Osten,” or “drive to the East,” ideology of German expansion, was destroyed shortly before Hitler’s defeat in 1945, but many of the essential elements of it was reconstructed from memos, abstracts and other documents.

According to what I could find out, the “Final Solution” was the Nazi plan for the genocide of the Jews during World War II, and code for the murder of all Jews within reach.

This policy for systematic genocide was formulated at the Wannsee Conference of 1942 near Berlin, and resulted in the killing of 90% of Poland’s Jews and two-thirds of the Jewish population of Europe.

Europe’s gypsies were targeted populations as well.

This is the primary information that has come down to us about the history of the Final Solution and the Holocaust, but when you add the numbers for the Slavic populations affected by the Generalplan Ost, the numbers for targeted genocide and so-called ethnic cleansing go up astronomically!!!

And who exactly was being ethnically-cleansed with regards to the Jews and the Slavs?

We typically think of the European Jews and Slavs looking like this as the only victims because we have no other information about the race of the Jews and the Slavic peoples.

But you can’t really tell when you have a pile of bones like you see in this photo from the Majdanek Concentration camp in Poland.

The first of the Big Three wartime conferences, the Tehran Conference was actually held in November of 1943, in which the Allies committed to open a second front against Nazi Germany, and two years after the Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran in August of 1941.

Reza Shah Pahlavi was deposed in September of 1941 as a result of the British and Soviet Invasion of Iran during World War II because he was seen as a German ally even though Iran had maintained neutrality in the conflict, and the invasion took place purportedly to secure Iran’s oil fields and ensure Allied supply lines along the Persian Corridor.

He was replaced as Shah by his young son at the time, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi…the last Shah of Iran.

The next of the Big Three wartime conferences was the Yalta Conference, which was held between February 4th and 11th of 1945, near Yalta in Crimea, a peninsula on the northern coast of the Black Sea in what was the Soviet Union at the time.

Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin met to discuss the post-war reorganization of Germany and Europe.

Much was agreed to by the Big Three at the Yalta Conference, but what I want to highlight is the Declaration of Liberated Europe; the ratification of the agreement of the European Advisory Commission; and the groundwork for the United Nations.

The Declaration of Liberated Europe was created by the leaders of the three nations as a promise to allow the people to create democratic institutions of their own choice, and pledged the earliest possible establishment through elections governments responsive to the will of the people.

So this is what they all said…but what actually happened? 

The European Advisory Commission (EAC) allowed each occupying power full control over its occupying zone, and the subsequent Cold War was reflected in the partition of Germany as each occupying force could develop its zone on its own without influence from any overseeing body.

With regards to the formal establishment of the United Nations in San Francisco in June of 1945…

…all the parties at the Yalta Conference agreed to an American plan concerning voting procedures in the Security Council, which had expanded to five permanent members ~ which were, with the inclusion of France, China, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

It was only 6 months after the Japanese surrender that Winston Churchill proclaimed that “an iron curtain had descended across central Europe.”

On the east side of the curtain were the countries connected to or influenced by the Soviet Union, while on the west side were the countries that were NATO members or nominally neutral.

The third Big Three wartime conference was held in Potsdam, Germany between between July 17th and August 2nd in 1945.

They gathered to decide how to administer Germany after its unconditional surrender nine-weeks earlier on May 8th of 1945.

Franklin Roosevelt’s death occurred on April 12th of 1945, and his Vice-President Harry S. Truman succeeded him and represented the U. S. as President at the Potsdam Conference…

…and on July 28th, the new Prime Minister Clement Atlee replaced Winston Churchill as the representative for Great Britain at the Potsdam Conference.

A number of changes had occurred since the Yalta Conference that greatly impacted Big Three relations in Potsdam.

By the time of the Potsdam Conference, the Soviet Union occupied central and eastern Europe – with the Red Army effectively controlling Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania – claiming this region was a legitimate sphere of Soviet influence as well as a defensive measure against future attacks.

Outcomes of the Potsdam Conference included, but was not limited to: the division of Germany and Austria into four occupation zones, with their capitals of Berlin and Vienna divided into four zones as well; the prevention of Nazi activity and preparation for the reconstruction of Germany into a democratic state; the decision to put Nazi war criminals on trial; war reparations to Allied countries; and the dismantling of Germany’s war industry.

It is important to note that during the same time period as the Potsdam Conference, the United States successfully tested the first atomic bomb on July 16th at Trinity site near Alamogordo, New Mexico.

The Potsdam Declaration was issued on July 26th, an ultimatum calling for the surrender of all Japanese forces or Japan would face prompt and utter destruction.

Whether or not this actually happened as advertised, we are told that by August 5th of 1945, the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, destroying the city and killing over 70,000 people…

…and that the second atomic bomb was dropped on the ship-building center of Nagasaki on August 9th, several days later, killing around the same number of people as Hiroshima.

Japan formally surrendered on August 15th of 1945, with the formal treaty signed on board the U.S.S. Missouri in Tokyo Bay on September 2nd of 1945.

The Potsdam Declaration was intended by the Big Three to be the legal basis for administering Japan after the war, and after Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Japan General Douglas MacArthur landed there in September, it served as the legal basis of the occupation’s reforms.

While the Emperor Hirohito was allowed to remain on the imperial throne, the Japanese constitution was completely overhauled, and the Emperor’s powers became strictly limited by law, and a parliamentary democracy was installed as the new form of government.

Also, after the August 15th surrender of Japan in 1945, the Korean peninsula was divided at the 38th-parallel into two zones of occupation, with the Soviets administering the northern half, and Americans the southern half.

In 1948, as a result of Cold War tensions, the occupation zones became two sovereign states – socialist North Korea and capitalist South Korea.

The governments of the two new Korean states both claimed to be the only legitimate Korean government, and neither accepted the border as permanent.

The beginnings of the Cold War are firmly rooted in the events of 1945.

Lasting from the formulation of the Truman Doctrine in 1947 until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, it was called “cold” because there was no direct fighting between the United States and the Soviet Union, but engaged instead in proxy wars by supporting different sides of major regional conflicts.

Truman was much more suspicious of the Soviets than Roosevelt had been, and saw Soviet actions in central and eastern Europe as aggressive expansionism.

President Truman announced the Truman Doctrine to Congress on March 12th of 1947, where he asked for money to contain the communist uprisings in Greece and Turkey.

It was an American foreign policy which had the stated purpose of containing Soviet geopolitical expansion and generally considered the start of the Cold War.

It led to the formation of NATO in 1949, a military alliance between western nations that still exists today.

The Warsaw Pact was signed in 1955 as a counter-balance to NATO between the Soviet Union and seven other eastern-bloc social republics of Central and Eastern Europe, and created in reaction to the integration of West Germany into NATO.

Aside from nuclear arsenal development under the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction, said to have been intended to discourage a pre-emptive attack by either side, and conventional military deployment, the struggle for dominance between the United States and the Soviet Union was expressed by psychological warfare, propaganda campaigns, espionage, rivalry at sporting events, and the Space Race.

Let’s see what’s going on in other parts of the world in the mid-1940s.

In China, the Chinese Civil War was fought off-and-on between the Nationalist Republic of China and the Chinese Communist Party from 1927 to 1949.

Hostilities were being put on-hold between 1937 and 1945, when the two factions united in the face of the Japanese invasion of China and establishment of its puppet-state Manchukuo.

Generally referred to as the Chinese Communist Revolution, the Communists gained control of mainland China in 1949, forcing the leadership of the Nationalist Republic of China to retreat to the island of Taiwan.

Now with regards to the creation of the State of Israel.

Great Britain had been granted a colonial mandate for Palestine and Transjordan by the League of Nations on April 25th of 1920, which lasted until the formation of Israel in May of 1948.

A League of Nations Mandate was a legal status for certain territories transferred from the control of one country to another after World War I, in this case territories that were conceded by the Ottoman Empire following the end of World War I in 1918.

For the Third World War, Pike talked about the Illuminati taking advantage of the differences between Zionist and Islamic leaders so they mutually destroy each other.

I think the Third World War as described here by Albert Pike has been going on for a very long time, at least since the end of World War II and is very much happening in the present-day.

People are living in a state-of-war, also involving psychological warfare as well as physical conflicts and threats, without even being aware of it because of course we haven’t been told anything about it.

Before I move on from World War II, and from Nazism into Marxism, I would like to put forward my belief the Nazis were actually in existence long before World War II and that they were not defeated in World War II as we have been taught.

They have committed an unfathomable number of crimes against Humanity continuing well into the present-day and have robbed us of our true history and heritage, and Humanity has no value to them except as an energy source and commodity.

They hate us and at the same time need us for their survival and wealth, and have been planning a “Fourth Reich.”

I have read where some believe that instead of Hitler committing suicide along with Eva Braun in a Berlin bunker on April 30th of 1945…

…they escaped to Argentina in 1945.

And while not widely known to the general public, Operation Paperclip was a U.S. intelligence program which brought Nazi scientists, engineers and technicians to the United States following the end of the second World War.

It is interesting to note here that present-day Ukraine was roughly the location of the Khazarian Empire, which was said to have existed between 650 AD and 969 AD, and where the ruling elite converted to Judaism in the 8th-century, and some believe that the Ashkenazi Jews originated from the Khazarian Jews, who had a fearsome reputation.

I wonder if there could be a connection to “Ashke-nazi.”

The same word is actually in the name.

Maybe it’s just a coincidence.

But then again, maybe it isn’t a coincidence.

And the globalists behind the New World Order Agenda still meet on a regular basis to make and implement their plans for their global take-over of the world’s finances, resources and people.

They are a small number of related, elitist family bloodlines, hidden in different nationalities and religions, to carry out their plans for world domination.

So, at the end of the World War II, the United States and Britain took up the Zionist cause, and the issue of forming Israel was referred to the United Nations, which voted to partition Palestine in November of 1947.

The modern state of Israel was proclaimed on May 14th of 1948, with its origins in the 19th-century Zionist movement of Ashkenazi Jews who called for the establishment of a territorial Jewish state.

Despite growing conflict between Palestinian Arabs and Palestinian Jews, Truman ultimately decided to recognize Israel.

David Ben-Gurion proclaimed the establishment of the modern State of Israel on May 14th of 1948, and President Truman recognized the new nation on the same day.

On the same day the new State of Israel was proclaimed, and the British Army withdrawn, gun-fire broke out between Jews and Arabs, and Egypt had launched an air assault that evening.

A little over a month after the establishment of the modern State of Israel, the Berlin Blockade took place starting on June 24th of 1948 and lasted until May 12th of 1949.

It was one of the first major international crises of the Cold War.

The Soviet Union blocked the Western Allies power, railway, road, and canal access to the sectors in Berlin under western control during the multi-national occupation of Berlin.

In response the western allies organized the Berlin Airlift, which lasted from June 26th of 1948 to September 30th of 1949, to carry supplies to the people of West Berlin, flying over 200,000 sorties in one year to provide the people of West Berlin food and fuel.

The Korean War started in 1950, when North Korea invaded South Korea on June 25th following clashes along the border and insurrections in the South.

North Korea was supported by China and the Soviet Union, and South Korea by the United Nations, principally from the United States.

The Korean War ended in 1953, during which time there was a back-and-forth going on – Seoul was captured numerous times, and communist forces were pushed back to the 38th-parallel numerous times, creating a stalemate in the ground-war.

From the air, North Korea was subject to a massive U. S. bombing campaign, and the Soviets flew in covert missions in defense of their Communist allies.

The Korean Armistice Agreement was signed on July 27th of 1953, ending the fighting; creating the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) to separate North and South Korea; and allowing for the return of prisoners.

No peace treaty was signed, however, and the two Koreas are still technically at war in a frozen conflict.

The Korean War was one of the most destructive conflicts of modern times, with around 3,000,000 deaths due to the war, and proportionally, a larger civilian death toll than either World War II or the Viet Nam War; caused the destruction of nearly all of Korea’s major cities; and there were thousands of massacres on both sides.

The Geneva Conference was convened in 1954 in Geneva, Switzerland, to settle unresolved issues from the Korean War and the First Indochina War in Viet Nam, and attended by representatives from the United States, France, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, and the People’s Republic of China, as well as from Korea and Viet Nam.

The Geneva Conference was held in the Palace of Nations, the home of the United Nations Office in Geneva, said to have been built between 1929 and 1938 to serve as the headquarters of the League of Nations, the forerunner of the United Nations.

While no declarations or proposals were adopted with regards to Korean situation, the Geneva Accords that dealt with the dismantling of French Indochina would have major ramifications.

The French military forces in Viet Nam, formerly part of French Indochina, had been decisively defeated in May 7th of 1954 by the Communist Viet Minh forces under Ho Chi Minh at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu.

The very next day the discussions on French Indochina began at the Geneva Conference, and the western allies did not have a unified position on what the conference was to achieve in relation to French Indochina.

The Geneva Accords establish North and South Vietnam with the 17th parallel as the dividing line, and the French agreed to remove their troops from North Viet Nam.

The agreement also stipulated that elections were to be held within two years to unify Vietnam under a single democratic government.

These elections never happened.

The non-Communist puppet government set up by the French in South Viet Nam refused to sign.

The United States also refused to sign on, with the belief that national elections would result in an overwhelming victory for the communist Ho Chi Minh who had so decisively defeated the French colonialists.

Within a year, the United States helped establish a new, anti-Communist government in South Viet Nam, and began giving it financial and military assistance.

A mass migration took place after Viet Nam was divided.

Estimates of upwards of 3 million people left communist North Viet Nam for South Vietnam, going into refugee status in their own country, and many were assisted by the United States Navy during Operation Passage to Freedom.

An estimated 52,000 people moved from South to North Viet Nam, mostly Viet Minh members and their families.

 

The Chinese occupation of Tibet started in 1950, when China invaded Tibet and engaged in a military campaign at the Battle of Chamdo to take the Chamdo Region from an independent Tibetan state, one of three traditional provinces of Tibet along with Amdo and U-Tsang.

As a result, Chamdo was captured by the Chinese, and Tibet was eventually annexed when the State Council of the People’s Republic of China dissolved Tibet on March 28th of 1959, and it became known as the Tibetan Autonomous Region of China in 1965.

Since that time, over a million Tibetans have been killed, and monks, nuns, and lay-people who protest ending up as political prisoners who are tortured and held in sub-standard conditions.

China has a policy of resettlement of Chinese citizens to Tibet; Chinese is the official language; and Tibetans have become a minority in their own country.

Tibet’s spiritual and temporal leader, the 14th-Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, and other Tibetan refugees escaped to Dharamsala in India during the 1959 Tibetan Uprising, where he established the Central Tibetan Administration, the Tibetan government in exile which is not recognized by China.

Joseph Stalin passed away in 1953.

The guy who was so chummy with the other leaders at the Big Three wartime conferences is remembered by history as a brutal dictator.

Stalin rose to power in 1924 after Lenin’s death, and ruled by terror with a series of brutal policies which left countless millions of his own citizens dead.

Between 1928 and 1940, Stalin enforced the collectivation of the agricultural sector, by stripping people who owned land and livestock of their holdings, forcing people to join collective farms, and rounding up and executing higher-income farmers, and confiscating their land.

Instead of increasing the food supply, this policy caused food shortages, which in turn led to what was called the Great Famine between 1932 and 1933, with millions of people perishing from starvation.

The height of Stalin’s terror campaign was known as the Great Purge, taking place between 1936 and 1938, during which time an estimated 600,000 Soviet citizens were executed, and millions more were deported, or imprisoned in forced labor camps known as gulags.

Not a nice man.

Neither was Chairman Mao, who was doing much the same kinds of things to his people in China.

For one example, Mao and the Chinese Communist Party launched the Great Leap Forward in 1958 for the citizenry to industrialize China by the mass mobilization of the country’s population into agriculturally-based communes to increase grain supply.

It had the same effect as forced farming collectives had in the Soviet Union, resulting in the Great Chinese Famine, with an estimated number of deaths ranging between 15- and 55-million, the largest in history, not to mention that researchers give of up to 3-million people being tortured to death or executed for violating the policy.

Senator Joseph McCarthy became the public face of a period of time in which Cold War tensions propelled fears of widespread Communist subversion in the United States.

In 1950, one of the U. S. Senators from Wisconsin, McCarthy said he had the names of 205 Communists working at the State Department, which prompted the Senate to form a special committee to look into the allegations, the outcome of which was said to not find much supporting evidence.

When he became chair of the Senate Permanent Investigations subcommittee in 1952, McCarthy called more than 500 people before the committee for questioning – people in the federal government, universities, the film industry, and elsewhere.

He was ultimately censured by the Senate in 1945 for “conduct unbecoming a senator.”

The definition of McCarthyism is making baseless accusations of subversion or treason without any proper regard for evidence, especially when referring to Communism.

A lot of what we see playing out in our world right now makes me wonder if these claims about communist infiltrators was baseless…or actually based in fact.

The short-lived Hungarian Uprising took place from October 23rd of 1956 to November 10th of 1956 against Soviet control and policies, and was the first major threat to Soviet control since the Red Army drove Nazi Germany from its territory at the end of World War II.

The symbol of it was the Hungarian flag with the communist emblem cut-out.

Starting out as a student protest, the movement turned into a much larger revolt, and the government collapsed, and thousands organized themselves in militias battling the Hungarian army and Soviet troops.

The revolution was ultimately crushed when a large Soviet force invaded Hungary and by January of 1957, a new Soviet-installed government had suppressed all opposition.

The Suez Crisis of 1956 was an invasion of Egypt by Israel followed by the British and French to regain western control of the Suez Canal and remove Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser who had just nationalized the canal, which prior to that was owned primarily by Britain and France.

The invasion was quickly stopped upon political pressure from the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Nations.

Britain and France were humiliated and Nassar was strengthened.

Fidel Castro came to power in 1959 after overthrowing Cuban President Fulgencio Batista via guerrilla warfare, and subsequently assuming military and political power as Cuba’s Prime Minister.

He was ideologically a Marxist-Leninist and Cuban Nationalist, and under his administration, Cuba became the first one-party Communist state in the western hemisphere.

The United States opposed Castro’s government, and Castro aligned himself with the Soviet Union.

On March 6th of 1960, it was announced that 3,500 American soldiers were going to be sent to Viet Nam for the first time, after North Viet Nam escalated military operations against South Viet Nam.

Soviet Premier Nikita Khruschev ordered the Berlin Wall to be built in 1961 after 160,000 East German refugees crossed into West Berlin following major food shortages.

As already mentioned, during the Yalta Big-Three Conference held in February of 1945, the European Advisory Commission (EAC) allowed each occupying power full control over its occupying zone, and the subsequent Cold War was reflected in the partition of Germany as each occupying force could develop its zone on its own without influence from any overseeing body.

Berlin was split into similar sectors.

The Soviets took the eastern half, while the other Allies took the western.

Subsequently, in August of 1961, the Communist government of East Germany, also known as the German Democratic Republic, began to build a wall of concrete and barbed wire between East Berlin and West Berlin.

It was built ostensibly to prevent western “fascists” from entering the country, but the even bigger reason was to contain the citizens of East Berlin, and made it harder for them to leave, not that they didn’t try.

Once the wall was constructed the only access between East Berlin and West Berlin was via three checkpoints – Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie.

The Cuban Missile Crisis started on the 16th of October in 1962, and ended a little over a month later.

It was a confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union which is considered the closest the two countries came to full-scale nuclear war, when the Soviet Union deployed nuclear ballistic missiles to Cuba as a response to the United States deploying nuclear ballistic missiles to Italy and Turkey.

An agreement was reached between Nikita Kruschev and Fidel Castro to place the missiles on the island in the summer of 1962 at Castro’s request to deter future invasions, and the construction of missile sites on Cuba was confirmed by U-2 spy plane photos.

After consulting with the National Security Council, Kennedy ordered a naval blockade of Cuba on October 22nd, in order to stop further missiles from reaching Cuba.

The blockade was formally lifted on November 20th of 1962, after negotiations between the United States and Soviet Union resulted in the dismantling of their offensive weapons.

Other examples of Civil Wars started in Africa following their independence from European colonization included the country of Sudan.

Sudan gained independence from the joint rule of Britain and Egypt in on January 1st of 1956.

The first Sudanese Civil War lasted for 17-years, from the time tensions started to develop in 1955, to the Addis Ababa agreement in 1972, between the northern part of Sudan, and the southern Sudan region that wanted representation and more regional autonomy.

During that 17-year-period, over half-million people are estimated to have died.

This is what we are told.

The British government administered the primarily Muslim and Arab Northern Sudan and mostly Christian and animist Southern Sudan as separate regions under international sovereignty until 1956, at which time the two regions were merged into a single administrative region as part of British strategy in the Middle East, and without the consultation of the minority southern leaders, who were fearful of being absorbed into Northern Sudan, for whom the British had shown favoritism, and tensions between the North and South escalated between the two.

Following Sudan’s independence from Britain, the southern ruling class were powerless in the merged Sudan’s politics and government compared to the northern ruling class, and unable to address the injustices against their people.

Hostilities escalated characterized by insurgencies and political turmoil, including in-fighting between Marxist and non-Marxist factions in the ruling military class.

Civil Wars started in Guatemala in 1960 between the government and leftist rebel groups supported by the Maya and Ladinos, a distinct Spanish-speaking ethnic group, who comprise the rural poor in Guatemala.

Civil Wars in Guatemala lasted until 1996.

The military forces of the Guatemalan government have been condemned for genocide of the Maya and for widespread human rights violations against civilians, with some of the context being longstanding issues of unfair land distribution.

Companies such as the American United Fruit Company controlled much of the land in Guatemala, conflicting with the rural poor.

The United Fruit Company monopolized all of Guatemala’s banana production and export, as well as owning the country’s telegraph and telephone system, and most of its railroad track.

The United Fruit Company has been described as an exploitative multinational corporation that influenced the economic and political development of these countries in a deep and enduring way.

It is interesting to note that in 1897, two years before United Fruit Company was formed, the Central American Exposition was held in Guatemala.

We are told it was constructed to highlight the railroad between Iztapa on the Pacific Coast and Puerto Barrios on the Atlantic Coast, but that for a variety of reasons, including the railroad not being finished at the time of the Exposition, it was considered a dramatic failure for Guatemala.

In Viet Nam by the time of John F. Kennedy’s death in November of 1963, there were 16,000 American military personnel, and the Gulf of Tonkin incident took place in 1964, an international confrontation after which the United States engaged more directly in the Viet Nam War.

The first Gulf of Tonkin incident took place on August 2nd of 1964 between ships of North Viet Nam and the United States.

The description of what took place is as follows:

Three North Vietnamese torpedo boats approached the naval destroyer U. S. S. Maddox and attacked it with torpedoes and machine gun fire.

Damages said to have come about as a result of the ensuing battle were: one U. S. aircraft; all three North Vietnamese torpedo boats and 4 North Vietnamese deaths; and one bullet hole on the naval destroyer, and no American deaths.

There was initially allegedly a second incident on August 4th of 1964, this second occurrence has long been said not to have taken place.

And then there are the people who believe the first Gulf of Tonkin incident never happened either.

Whether or not the Gulf of Tonkin incidents actually happened, they were used as an excuse for the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution passed by Congress on August 7th of 1964, giving President Lyndon B. Johnson authority to help any Southeast Asian country whose government was considered to be in jeopardy of Communist aggression, and was considered the legal justification for the beginning of open warfare with North Viet Nam and the deployment of American troops to Southeast Asia, of which, with the institution of the draft, there were over 500,000 troops sent by 1966.

Even the country neighboring Viet Nam in Southeast Asia, Laos, had its own problems with the Viet Nam war spilling over, with Laos being bombed by American planes starting in 1964, in retaliation we are told, for the shooting down of an American plane by insurgents, and after which bombing runs over Laos intensified, with over 100,000 bombing runs on Laos’ eastern border with North Viet Nam.

Between 1964 and 1973, the megalithic Plain of Jars in Laos was heavily bombed by the U. S. Air Force operating against the North Vietnamese and Pathet Lao communist forces, and it was said that the Air Force dropped more bombs on the Plain of Jars than it dropped during the entirety of World War II.

These were some unexploded bombs removed from the Plain of Jars from the secret war in Laos.

Per capita, Laos is the most bombed country in history.

The Viet Nam War ended with the Fall of Saigon on April 30th of 1975, when the capital of South Viet Nam was captured by North Vietnamese troops…

…and the beginning of the re-unification of Viet Nam into the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam.

The Cultural Revolution in China lasted from 1966 to 1976.

It was a violent social and political purge under Mao, Communist Party of China (CPC) Chairman, with the stated goal of removing traditional and capitalist elements from Chinese society in order to preserve Chinese Communism.

Soon, Chairman Mao called on young people to “bombard the headquarters” in schools, factories, and government institutions apparently in order to eliminate his rivals within the CPC.

He insisted that middle-class elements in Chinese society who wanted to restore capitalism be removed through violent class struggle.

The death of Chairman Mao in 1976 ended the Cultural Revolution. 

During this ten-year period, there was an estimated death toll of somewhere between hundreds-of-thousands to 20 million, and severely damaged China’s economy and traditional culture.

The Six-Day War between Israel and the neighboring Arab states of Egypt, Jordan, and Syria took place in June of 1967.

By the end of the Six-Day War, Israel had gotten control of the Sinai Peninsula, and the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Golan Heights, and East Jerusalem.

Civil War started in Cambodia in 1967 as well, and lasted until 1975.

It was a war fought between the government forces of the Kingdom of Cambodia under Prince Sihanouk and the forces of the Communist Party of Kampuchea, known as the Khmer Rouge, supported by North Viet Nam and the Viet Cong.

Cambodia is in Southeast Asia, sandwiched between Thailand, Laos, and Viet Nam.

Prince Sihanouk’s policies in the early 1960s initially protected his nation from the turmoil that engulfed Viet Nam and Laos.

His balancing act eventually went awry with all the forces-at-play during that time, and ultimately the Khmer Rouge seized power in 1975, and Prince Sihanouk was exiled.

Between 1975 and 1979, Cambodia was ruled by Pol Pot, General Secretary of the Communist Party, and his Khmer Rouge party, leading to the genocide of the Cambodian people, considered to be one of the bloodiest in history, in which an estimated 1.5 – 2 million deaths occurring, in part due to Pol Pot’s goals of turning Cambodia into a socialist agrarian Republic by forced relocation of its people to labor camps in the countryside.

Many people were just taken out into fields and summarily executed, giving us the name of “The Killing Fields,” the title of a 1984 film about the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia based on the experiences of two journalists, one Cambodian and one American.

The 1972 Munich Olympics are remembered for the occurrence of the Black September Palestinian terrorist attack the second week of the Olympics, in which 8 terrorists took nine members of the Israeli Olympic team hostage after killing two of the team’s members and a West German police officer.

I remember this happening very well.

I was nine-years-old at the time and enjoying watching the Olympic Games.

Then this happened.

The Palestinian terrorists demanded the release of 234 Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails and the West German-held founders of the German far-left militant group Red Army Faction, Baader and Meinhof.

Five of the eight Black September terrorists were killed in a failed attempt to rescue the demanded hostages.

The three surviving terrorists were arrested, but then released in a hostage exchange following the hijacking of Lufthansa Flight 615, a Palestinian terrorist attack aimed at securing the release of the three surviving terrorists.

When the three Palestinian Prisoners were released, the Israeli government authorized Operation Wrath of God to track them down and kill them.

Two out of the three were believed to have been killed.

The Yom Kippur War was fought between Israel and a coalition of Arab-states led by Egypt and Syria from October 6th to October 25th of 1973.

Egypt led a surprise attack into the Sinai, territory it had lost to Israel during the Six-Day War in 1967, and Syria unsuccessfully focused on ridding the Golan Heights of Israeli soldiers.

There was an Israeli counter-attack, and it didn’t happen.

On October 26th, the UN brokered a cease-fire between Egypt and Israel, ultimately leading to the first peace agreement being signed between the two countries in 1979.

Meanwhile, the cease-fire exposed Syria to military defeat and Israel seized even more territory in the Golan Heights.

Syria voted along with other Arab states in 1979 to expel Egypt from the Arab League.

The overthrow of the Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie took place on September 12th of 1974, in a coup initiated by a Marxist-Leninist faction in the military, and marked the beginning of a 17-year-long Ethiopian Civil War, which formally ended in 1991. 

The war left at least 1.4 million dead.

The Solomonic dynasty, also known as the House of Solomon, was the former ruling dynasty of the Ethiopian Empire.

Haile Selassie was the last Emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974.

The full title traditionally of the Emperors of Ethiopia was: “Elect of God, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah and King of Kings of Ethiopia.”

The last Ethiopian Emperor was apparently murdered in August of 1975 by the same Marxist Army officers who had overthrown him the year before.

The Iranian Revolution that took place in 1979 culminated in the overthrow of the last Shah of Iran, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, on February 11, 1979…

…to be replaced by the Islamic Republic of Iran, with what is called a unitary theocratic-republican authoritarian presidential system subject to a Grand Ayatollah.

The revolution was supported by various Islamist and leftist organizations, as well as student movements.

So things changed considerably for the people in the Islamic Republic of Iran after 1979. This picture of the citizenry was taken in 2012…

…and these pictures were before the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran.

So, in the 1970s, Communist and Islamist forces took down hereditary rulers in Cambodia, Iran, and Ethiopia, leading to genocide, repression, and great suffering in the subsequent destabilization of these countries.

The Georgia Guidestones were unveiled on March 22nd of 1980 on a rural site in Elbert County Georgia.

Engraved on each face of the four large, upright stones, in eight different languages, was a message containing ten principles, or guidelines.

The very first guideline was “Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.”

What was up with that?

The remaining guidelines sound positive…but are they really?

Whoever was behind the Guidestones was unknown.

There were apparent focuses of population control, eugenics, and internationalism engraved on the guidestones.

As of July 7th of 2022, the Georgia Guidestones are no more.

One was mysteriously destroyed in an explosion, and the rest were subsequently demolished.

In June of 1987, during a visit to West Berlin in a speech in front of the Brandenburg Gate, President Reagan challenged Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall.

The First Intifada began in the Gaza Strip and West Bank between Palestine and Israel on December 8th of 1987.

The first intifada was a sustained series of Palestinian protests and violent riots against the Israeli occupation of Gaza and the West Bank since 1967.

More than 1,000,000 Chinese protestors demanding greater democracy marched through Beijing between May 14th and 17th of 1989, leading to a crack-down.

On June 4th, a crackdown took place in Beijing as the army approached the square, and the final stand-off was covered on live TV.

An unknown Chinese protestor stood in front of a column of military tanks in Tiananmen Square on June 5th, temporarily halting the tanks.

The incident took place on the morning after Chinese troops fired upon pro-democracy students who had been protesting in the square since April 15, 1989.

East Germany opened check-points in the Berlin Wall on November 9th of 1989, allowing its citizens to travel freely to West Germany for the first time in decades.

The “Dissolution of the Soviet Union,” unfolded between 1988 and 1991.

On January 22nd of 1990, the League of Communists of Yugoslavia voted to dissolve itself, and in its place…

…the former Republics of Yugoslavia formed their own local branches: the Socialist Party of Serbia…

…the Party of Democratic Changes of Croatia, which merged with the Social Democrats of Croatia to become the Social Democratic Party of Croatia…

…the Social Democratic Union of Macedonia…

…the Party of Democratic Reforms of Slovenia, which was renamed to Social Democrats in 2005…

…the Social Democratic Party of Bosnia and Herzegovina…

…and the Democratic Party of Socialists of Montenegro.

And the Democratic Socialists are still with us.

This is a logo of the Democratic Socialists of America.

They are very much active today and making in-roads in current politics, like in the recent mayoral election in New York City.

On June 13th of 1990, the official start of the destruction of the Berlin Wall by the East German Border Troops began, and ended in December.

It had been opened for passage through seven-months before it was officially taken down.

The official day of the reunification of West and East Germany was October 3rd of 1990 and is celebrated as such as a National Holiday every year.

The first German federal election held since reunification was won by Helmut Kohl on December 2nd of 1990, who became the first Chancellor of the newly reunified Germany.

Socialist Slobodan Milosevic won the general election on December 9th of 1990, to become President of Serbia.

On March 9th of 1991, two people were killed and tanks deployed in the streets when massive demonstrations took place in opposition to the newly-elected President of the Socialist Republic of Serbia, Slobodan Milosevic, and his Socialist Party.

Then on August 25th, Serbia attacked Vukovar in Croatia, launching the Battle of Vukovar, and 87-day siege of Vukovar in eastern Croatia.

It pitted under 2,000 Croatian National Guard soldiers and civilian volunteers, against the 36,000 soldiers of the Yugoslav National Army and Serbian paramilitaries equipped with heavy armor and artillery.

During this time, it was the first European town to be entirely destroyed since the end of World War II, and the fiercest battle in Europe since then as well.

When it ended in November of 1991, over 20,000 of its inhabitants were forced to leave, and hundreds of soldiers and civilians were killed, with most of its population being “ethnically-cleansed” of its non-Serb population.

The term “ethnic cleansing” came into use in the 20th-century to mean “the systematic forced removal or exterminatin of ethnic, racial, and/or religious groups from a given area, frequently with the intent of making the area ethnically homogenous.”

That same year, on December 8th of 1991, the leaders of Russia, Belarus and the Ukraine signed the Belovezha Accords in Belarus, officially ending the Soviet Union and establishing the Commonwealth of Independent States in its place…

…and on December 26th, the Supreme Soviet met for the last time, formally dissolving the Soviet Union , and ending the cold war.

So around the same time the celebrated end of the Soviet Union in December of 1991, we already see civil wars, genocide and ethnic-cleansing occurring.

This is not the progress that one would expect from our historical narrative, and is instead the reverse of it.

It would appear to be the immediate descent into chaos and violence from the departure of a centralized system of government, as well as chaos from communal violence as well.

Today’s present seems a lot like George Orwell’s novel “1984,” doesn’t it?

Does history repeat itself for randomly occurring reasons?

Or does history repeat itself because it is being planned to bring in specific outcomes?

We tend to imagine that times in the past were somehow better than in the present…

…and come to find out horrors from our past are still in our present.

It seems like we have been living in real-life applications of things like the Hegelian Dialect of Problem-Reaction-Solution and Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals.

The Controllers create the problem, get the reaction they desire, and then they provide the solution, which frequently involves taking away our freedoms for our own “protection” then they lie to us and gaslight us about what was really taking place, deflecting blame from themselves and projecting it on others…

…and that the masses are unknowingly victims of systematically applied methods of manipulation

I didn’t know what the D-H-R Factor was listed in the methods of manipulation, so I looked it up.

It is undetectable mind control.

It is interesting what comes up to the surface when digging back through our relatively recent history, and looking at it with new eyes.

It’s not hidden.

They tell us without telling us that they are telling us, and have been continuing on with the planning and implementation of their dark plans for all Humanity right in front of our eyes.

It certainly seems like there was there something bigger going on with all of these activities behind the scenes, and that they were not random occurrences.

I think we have been seeing the unfolding of a plan that definitely does not have the best interests of Humanity at heart, and only benefits the power-and-control-hungry few that have been manipulating events behind scenes.

Our collective human consciousness has been continuously seeded with the notion we could meet a violent, horrible death, randomly, at any given moment, by forces beyond our control, and genocide was committed on large numbers of people in populations where there was armed conflict around the world, and that somehow all of this is normal.

Over the years, our awareness has been raised about false flags, defined as operations committed with the intent of disguising the actual source of responsibility and pinning blame on a second party.

They have actually been telling us in a disguised way all along because they are required to tell us what they are doing in order to gain our consent because of our Free Will…

…so they have developed high-sounding ways to try to convince us that handing over our freedom is our own idea.

Nazi Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels is famous for the following quotes.

The parasitic and multi-dimensionally aware beings behind all of this want us to believe that suffering, sickness, misery, destruction, death was and is our normal state of being, and not question what we have been taught about who we are.

They are the only ones who benefit because they energetically feed on negative emotional states, at the same time they have sucked up all the wealth of the Earth for themselves.

They have been working on getting us to this place for a very long time, but they have lost control of the narrative.

It is interesting that from the beginning of the 1980s forward, the personal computer and internet came into being in our lives.

Definitely a very important development for our mass awakening and a way out of tyranny and the dystopian nightmare that was planned for us.

Now with the internet at our disposal, we can do our own research; connect with each other all over the world; and see what is happening in real-time, unlike in the past.

Censorship is certainly still with us, but it’s kind of like whack-a-mole – you knock one down, but there’s still plenty of moles popping up from other holes.

All of this leads me to ask this question:

Has the Earth’s population been experiencing a very calculated and undeclared Psychological War based on terror and trauma against all of Humanity in our modern history to bring us to what is going on against Humanity in the world in which we live in today?

I think the answer is most definitely yes!

North America’s Great Lakes – Part 5 Lake Ontario from The Niagara River to the St. Lawrence Waterway in New York State

I am bringing forward research I have done in the past, as well as new research, in this series on the Great Lakes region of North America.

So far I have looked in-depth at cities and places all around the shores of Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, and the Michigan- and Ontario-sides of Lake Huron, paying particular attention to lighthouses; railroad and streetcar history; waterfalls, wetlands and dunes; interstates and highways; golf courses, airports and race tracks; major corporate players; mines and mining; labor relations; and many other things.

I am going to be taking a close look at Lake Ontario starting in the fifth-part of this series, and where I expect to see more of the same kinds of things I have been seeing thus far.

In this part of the series I will be looking at places starting in the Niagara River Region, and working my way around the New York-side of Lake Ontario to the entrance of the St. Lawrence Waterway.

As a way of focusing my research, I will be specifically following the location of lighthouses and waterfalls around Lake Ontario as I did in part 4 of this series around the Ontario-side of Lake Huron, as this particular focus has yielded a great deal of information as to what I believe happened here

I believe there was a highly-sophisticated and highly-controlled hydrological and electrical system throughout the Great Lakes Region that was an integral part of the Earth’s original energy grid system, and as we go through the information available to find along the way, I will continue to show you exactly why I believe the Great Lakes were formed by the outflow of the waterfalls of the region after the deliberate destruction of the original energy grid, which subsequently destroyed the surface of the Earth around key infrastructure of the energy grid, which besides waterfalls, included lighthouses, rail infrastructure, and what we know of as “forts,” and turned the landscape we see today into lakes, dunes, deserts, swamps, bogs, or causing the land to shear off and/or become submerged.

Lake Ontario is bounded by the Province of Ontario on the north, west, and southwest, and by the State of New York on the south and east, with the International Border of Canada and the United States spanning across the center of Lake Ontario.

Lake Ontario serves as the outlet of the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean via the St. Lawrence River, which comprises the western end of the St. Lawrence Seaway, and its primary inlet is the Niagara River from Lake Erie.

According to the information available, the Long-Sault Control Dam, along with the Moses-Saunders Power Dam, regulates the water-level of the lake.

What is called the “Quebec City-Windsor Corridor,” the most densely-populated and industrialized region of Canada, runs along the Canadian-side of the St. Lawrence River, Lake Ontario, and Lake Erie.

With more than 18-million people, it contains roughly half the country’s population and seven of Canada’s twelve largest metropolitan areas.

Today, VIA Rail provides the heaviest passenger train service in Canada in Quebec and Ontario in what is nicknamed “The Corridor” on what wwere previously tracks operated by the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railways.

The VIA Rail Corridor runs mostly along the north shores of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, and alongside the St. Lawrence River.

From what I could find out in a search, the Great Lakes have been home to approximately 379 lighthouses, with 200 of them still active, and that Lake Ontario, including the St. Lawrence Seaway has approximately 53 lighthouses around its shores, including lighthouses in Ontario that are not showing on this map that I will be looking at in the next part of this series.

With regards to the bathymetry of Lake Ontario, the water- depth ranges from the shallow depths of 0 to 100-meters, or 328-feet, extending out quite a distance from the shoreline, and from 150- to 200-meters, in deeper parts of the lake, with its deepest point marked by the “x” at 244-meters, or 802-feet.

The average depth of Lake Ontario is 86-meters, or 283-feet.

The relatively shallow waters found throughout the Great Lakes are notorious for shipwrecks, with an estimated somewhere between 6,000 to 10,000 ships and somewhere around 30,000 lives lost.

The reasons we are given for the high number of shipwrecks consist of things like severe weather, heavy cargo and navigational challenges.

Lake Ontario is no exception to this, where there are estimates ranging between 270 and 500 shipwrecks, though the total number is not known.

The Lake Ontario National Marine Sanctuary located on the New York-side of Lake Ontario protects 41 known historically-significant shipwrecks, as well as 19 more potential shipwreck sites.

My starting point for Lake Ontario will be Niagara-on-the-Lake in Ontario at the entrance to the Niagara River, which forms part of the International Border between Canada and the United States and from there I will follow the Lake shoreline to the east to Cape Vincent, New York at the entrance of the St. Lawrence River.

In the next part of this series, I will follow the Lake Ontario shoreline west and northeast from St. Catharines, which is just to the west of the Niagara River on the Ontario-side to Kingston at the entrance to the St. Lawrence waterway, and go up the St. Lawrence Seaway and “Thousand Islands” towards Montreal in the Province of Quebec.

So I will begin this journey around Lake Ontario at Niagara-on-the-Lake at the entrance of the Niagara River.

Niagara-on-the Lake is in the Niagara Region of Ontario, and was the first capital of the Province of Upper Canada, the predecessor of Ontario.

It is the only city in Canada that has a traditional Lord Mayor, a title that is bestowed by the British Monarch upon the mayor of a Commonwealth city that is a special recognition.

The first place I want to take a look at in Niagara-on-the-Lake is Fort Mississauga and the historical location of the Mississauga Point Lighthouse.

Fort Mississauga was said to have been built from 1814 to 1816 during the War of 1812 to replace nearby Fort George.

The remnants of it today on the shore of Lake Ontario at the entrance to the Niagara River are a box-shaped brick tower and star-shaped earthworks.

It was said to have been constructed from brick and stone that were salvaged from rubble after retreating United States forces burned the settlement there in December of 1813 during the War of 1812.

The Mississauga Point Lighthouse was said to have been constructed here in 1804, and to have been the first formal lighthouse constructed on the Great Lakes.

But then, we are told, it was damaged in 1813 in the Battle of Fort George, and then dismantled in 1814 to make room for Fort Mississauga.

Though there is no physical evidence of it remaining, there is a plaque on the grounds of Fort Mississauga acknowledging its significance.

Fort Mississauga and the Battlefield of Fort George are located on the shore of Lake Ontario at the edge of the Niagara on the Lake Golf Club.

We are told the Battle of Fort George began on May 25th of 1813, and that on May 27th, American forces captured Fort George from the British, giving the Americans control of the entrance to the Niagara River for a short period of time.

In our historical narrative, it was described as one of the fiercest and most important battles of the War of 1812, but there are no remains of the battle in existence.

Interesting there are what appear to be cut-and-shaped megalithic stone blocks along the shoreline of the Battlefield of Fort George.

The Niagara-on-the-Lake Golf Club that surrounds the historic battlefield and Fort Mississauga is considered to be the oldest existing golf course in North America.

In part 4 of this series on the Ontario-side of Lake Huron, I paid particular attention to golf courses, and found tham all along the shoreline of Lake Huron like the one here in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

These are just a few of many examples of these findings.

Personally, I have believed for quite awhile now that golf courses are repurposed mound sites, and are a cover-up of mound sites.

 Just carve out the top of a mound, and voila, you have a bunker.

The term “Links” is another name used for golf courses.

I think this name tells us their actual purpose in the Earth’s grid system, perhaps as “links” or “linkages” of the energy grid components.

The location of the historic Fort George is to the southeast of the Niagara-on-the-Lake Club, Fort Mississauga and the Battlefield named after it.

We are told that Fort George was built between 1796 and 1799, south of the British settlement that was established here in 1781, and that it was mostly destroyed in the War of 1812.

The site of the fort has been a National Historic Site of Canada since 1921, and we are told features a reconstruction of Fort George, which includes wooden palisades along with the original earthworks.

Old Fort Niagara and the Old Fort Niagara Lighthouse are on the other side of the entrance to the Niagara River from Fort Mississauga and Fort George in Youngstown New York

We are told that Old Fort Niagara was a fortification originally built by New France in 1726 to protect its interests in North America and control of access between the Niagara River and Lake Ontario.

Then we are told the British took over the fort in 1759 during the French and Indian War, and stayed until 1796, after the signing of the Jay Treaty that reaffirmed the border with British Canada, Old Fort Niagara was ceded to the United States.

The Old Fort Niagara Lighthouse standing there today was said to have been constructed between 1871 and 1872, replacing earlier lighthouses at this location.

It was decommissioned as an active lighthouse in 1993.

Today it houses a small museum and gift shop.

Though not on the grounds of Old Fort Niagara like we saw at Fort Mississauga, the Niagara Frontier Golf Club is in the vicinity of it on the lakeshore as well.

I have consistently found star forts in pairs and clusters in the same location in the process of tracking cities and places in alignment across the Earth.

I believe that these star forts functioned as batteries on the Earth’s original free energy grid system, and that this is the reason they are found in pairs and clusters.

One definition of a battery is a device that produces electricity that may have several primary or secondary cells arranged in parallel or series, as well as a battery source of energy which provides a push, or a voltage, of energy to get the current flowing in a circuit. 

Another meaning of the word battery is the heavy fire of artillery to saturate an area rather than hit a specific target.

Many star forts are actually called batteries, even though they were re-purposed in many cases, but not in all, to the second definition applied to them in the new time-line in order for them to appear to have a strictly military function.

In this graphic of primarily historic Niagara-on-the-Lake, I have circled the outer three previously-mentioned star fort locations, and the inner three circles were the location of historic rail infrastructure.

Location #1 next to the Niagara River was the MCR (Michigan Central Railway) Niagara-on-the-Lake Railway Station…

…Location #2 was the MCR Turntable and Engine House…

…and Location #3 a couple of blocks from there was the NS & TR (Niagara, St. Catharine’s and Toronto) Niagara-on-the-Lake Railway Station, which is the only one of the three that still survives as a building that has been used for both residential and commercial purposes in the Queen-Picton Conservation Heritage District.

As we head down the Niagara River towards the Niagara Falls, it is important to note that the Niagara Region has had multiple railway lines connected to it, like the Grand Trunk Railway as seen in this 1887 map.

Said to have been constructed starting in 1852, the Grand Trunk Railway was officially opened in 1859 between Sarnia in Ontario and Portland in Maine.

We are told the Grand Trunk Railway was merged into the Canadian National Railway in 1923 because of financial difficulties.

In its hey-day, it operated in Ontario and Quebec in Canada, and in the United States, in Connecticut, Maine, Michigan, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont.

We are told the original charter for the Grand Trunk Railway was for a line running from Montreal to Toronto along the north shore of the St. Lawrence River and then it went west to Sarnia and east to Portland.

We are told that the first railway in America was an incline railway built in Lewiston, New York, between 1762 and 1764.

It was called Montresor’s Tramway, and said to have been designed and built by British engineers at the close of the French and Indian War (1756 – 1763) to haul goods up the steep slope at the Niagara River near the Niagara Falls escarpment at Lewiston, New York.

No longer in existence, we are told it was located where the Earl W. Brydges Artpark State Park, otherwise known as the “Artpark,” is today.

Lewiston is described as the first European settlement in western New York, established in 1720.

Lewiston lies half-way between Fort Niagara and Fort George, where the Niagara River meets Lake Ontario, and Niagara Falls, a group of three falls that straddle the international border between the United States and Canada.

It is interesting to note that there is an incline railway that is still operational today at Niagara Falls in Ontario, approximately 5-miles, or 8-kilometers, south of Lewiston on the Niagara River.

The Falls Incline Railway is located next to Horseshoe Falls and links “Table Rock Center” and “Journey Behind the Falls” on the Niagara Parkway with the “Fallsview Tourist Area.”

We are told it was built for the Niagara Parks Commission by the Swiss Company Von Roll, and began operating in October of 1966.

The other historic Incline Railways of the Niagara Falls region between the United States and Canada included:

The Prospect Park Incline Railway at Prospect Park in New York, said to have been built in 1845, and completely removed in 1908 after an accident killed someone.

We are told it was then replaced by an elevator that operated between 1910 and 1960 until it closed, and replaced by the current Prospect Point Observation Tower in 1961.

Then in 1869, the Leander Colt Incline Railway was said to have been built on the Canadian-side of the Falls, near the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge, but damaged and abandoned 20-years later in 1889.

Another Whirlpool Rapids Incline was said to have been built in 1876 near the Leander Colt Incline, but damaged by fire in 1934 and replaced by the “Great Gorge Trip” of the Niagara Belt-Line, a train route around Niagara Falls…

…which later became the “White Water Walk” where you can take a leisurely stroll where the Niagara Belt-Line once was.

Lastly, we are told the Clifton Incline was built in 1894 to serve the Canadian-side of the “Maid of the Mist” boat.

It closed in 1976 and reopened in 1977 as the “Maid of the Mist” Incline, and closed again in 1990.

Almost 30-years-later, in 2019, it was re-opened as the Hornblower Niagara Funicular, and operates today for Hornblower Niagara Cruises.

Incline Railways, also known as funiculars, work like an obliquely-angled elevator, in which cables attached to a pulley-system raise- and-lower the cars along the grade.

Two cars are paired at opposite-ends and act as each other’s counterweight. As such, there is not a need for traction between the wheels and rails, and thereby allowing them to scale steep slopes, unlike traditional rail-cars.

Thing is, there used to be a lot more of them than there are now, and incline-railways were a worldwide thing.

It seems like the ones that remain are either tourist attractions, or not removed because they are an important part of a community’s public transportation system.

Niagara Falls, the largest waterfall by volume in North America, consists of a group of three waterfalls on the Niagara River spanning the international border between New York and Ontario – Horseshoe Falls in Ontario and Bridal Veil Falls and American Falls in New York.

Horseshoe Falls, also known as the Canadian Falls, is the largest of the three, with approximately 90% of the Niagara River flowing over it.

The remaining 10% of the Niagara River flows over the American Falls…

…and the Bridal Veil Falls, the smallest of the three located right next to American Falls.

3,160-tons of water flow over all three of the Niagara Falls every second, with water plunging 32-feet, or 10-meters, every second, hitting the base with 280-tons of force at the American and Bridal Veil Falls, and 2,509-tons of force at the Horseshoe Falls.

Niagara Falls is capable of producing 4-million kilowatts of electricity, which is shared by the United States and Canada, and is also noteworthy for its present-day and historic hydroelectric and power-generation facilities.

Queenston in Canada and Lewiston in New York are loated at the base of the Niagara Escarpment on either side of the Niagara River.

The Lewiston-Queenston International Toll Bridge connects both sides of the Niagara Escarpment just south of the two cities.

The current bridge was said to have been opened on November 1st of 1962, and connects Interstate-190 in Lewiston with Onterio Highway 405 in Queenston.

We are told there were two earlier bridges of the same name.

The first one was said to have been built in 1851, and was subsequently wrecked by wind in 1864, and a second suspension bridge was constructed that was dismantled when the current bridge was opened.

This was a postcard of the second bridge circa 1915.

Just below the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge, there are hydroelectric facilities and reservoirs on both sides of the Niagara River.

On the Canadian-side, the Sir Adam Beck Generating Stations, Numbers 1 and 2, and on the American-side, the Robert Moses Powerhouse and Lewiston Pump-Generating Station.

The Sir Adam Beck Generating Stations provide a signficant portion of Ontario’s electricity by diverting water from the Niagara and Welland Rivers.

We are told Station #1 first opened in 1922, and was the world’s largest hydroelectric station at the time of its opening, and is still operational today.

The Sir Adam Beck Generating Station #2 was opened in 1954, and is Ontario Power Generation’s largest capacity hydroelectric station.

Both stations draw water from the Niagara River above Niagara Falls via a large power canal.

A power canal is a canal used for hydraulic power generation.

On the American-side across the river from the Sir Adam Beck Generating Stations, the current Robert Moses Power Station was said to have been constructed in the late 1950s, and first opened in 1961.

The Lewiston Pump-Generating Plant is in the Lewiston Dam.

We are told the Lewiston Dam was constructed to contain the Upper Lewiston Reservoir, which stores water pumped from the forebay of the Robert Moses Power Station.

The water in the forebay comes from an underground conduit that goes from the forebay to the Niagara River upstream of the waterfalls.

This latest power station was one in a series of power stations at this location in our historical narrative.

In our historical narrative, we are told that the Niagara River and the American Falls were purchased by the Porter Brothers and their “Porter, Baron & Company” in 1805 at a public auction, which included the water rights from the upper rapids below the falls.

We are told the company portaged goods from Lake Erie to Lewiston on the Niagara River to ship them east to Lake Ontario, but that the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825 made the portage obsolete and the company’s plans for the future were never developed.

Then we are told in 1852, Caleb Smith Woodhall and some associates purchased the land and water rights from the heirs of the Porter Brothers with the intention to build a canal, and formed the “Niagara Falls Hydraulic Company” in 1853, but that the canal they started to construct was never completed because of construction costs and the company went bankrupt.

Then in 1856, Stephen N. Allen bought the company, and renamed it the “Niagara Falls Water Power Company,” which was said to have completed the entrance and river portion of the canal by 1857, and that by 1881, a narrow extension at the south end of the basin was completed.

Then in 1860, Horace Day bought the company, and renamed it the “Niagara Falls Canal Company,” and finally completed the canal in 1861, but that it could not be used because of the American Civil War.

In our narrative, the canal’s first customer came in 1875 with Charles Gaskill’s “Cataract City Milling Company,” which used the water in the canal to power the company’s flour grist mill.

The historical Niagara Falls Mill District on the American-side of Niagara Falls flourished in the late 19th- and early-20th-centuries.

Today the former Mill District is mostly parkland, with historical ruins of the Schoellkopf Power Station, which the Robert Moses Power Station was said to have replaced.

Niagara Falls has been referred to a a “Hydroelectric Mecca.”

There’s a lot more to the story here, but this gives you the idea.

One more thing here on this side of the falls.

We are told the Niagara Gorge Railroad was first organized in 1895, and operated until a rock slide ended its service in September of 1935.

It ran at the bottom of the Niagara Gorge from Niagara Falls, New York, to Lewiston.

I have consistently found railroads in conjunction with rivers and gorges and hydroelectric facilities in my research over the years, and looked at the subject in depth in my post “Of Railroads and Waterfalls, and Other Physical Infrastructure of the Earth’s Grid System.”

Above the Niagara Falls on the Canadian-side are two former generating stations – the Canadian Niagara Generating Station and the Toronto Power Generating Station.

Today, the Canadian Niagara Generating Station is a tourist attraction renamed the “Niagara Parks Power Station and the Tunnel.”

Said to have been built between 1901 and 1905, the year the generators became operational, It was the first major power plant on the Canadian-side of the Niagara River and harnessed the powerful energy of Horseshoe Falls.

It was decommissioned in 2006.

“The Tunnel” is 180-feet, or 55-meters, beneath the main building of the generating-station, and the 2,200-foot, or 671-meter, -long tunnel was said to have been dug with the use of lanterns, rudimentary dynamite, pick-axes, and shovels.

The Toronto Power Generating Station is not far from today’s Niagara Parks Power Station, and it was said to have been constructed around the same time-period, and it was in operation from 1906 until 1974.

Although it is also owned by Niagara Parks Commission, it has sat vacant ever since and has been a destination for urban exploration activities.

The same kind of sophisticated hydroelectric and power-generation infrastructure is found in The Soo region of Michigan and Ontario on the St. Mary’s River which connects Lake Superior and Lake Huron.

…and we’ll see it again on the St. Lawrence Seaway.

When I saw this map of the region’s waterfalls, it struck me how many there are on the Ontario side of Lake Huron and the Georgian Bay, including a series of waterfalls running along the Niagara Escarpment from Niagara Falls.

In the course of doing the research for this series on the Great Lakes, I have come to understand deeply that the Georgian Bay of Lake Huron is formed by the Niagara Escarpment.

The Niagara Escarpment runs predominantly east-to-west, from New York, through Ontario, Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin, with a nice, half-circle shape, attached to a straight-line, when drawn on a map.

As I continue to go through the exploration of Lake Ontario, I will show why I believe this is a significant finding with regards to the Great Lakes of the region that we see today that we have been taught to believe have always been there but which I now believe are a relatively recent occurrence and weren’t there before, and believe they were created by the outflow of the waterfalls of the region after the deliberate destruction of the original energy grid, which subsequently destroyed the surface of the Earth.

It is interesting to note what we are told about the origin of the Niagara Escarpment.

It is the most prominent of several escarpments in the bedrock running from eastern Wisconsin north through Northern Michigan, curving around southern Ontario through the Bruce Peninsula and Manitoulin Island and other islands in northern Lake Huron, before extending eastwards across the Niagara region between Ontario and New York, and formed over millions of years ago through weather and stream erosion through rocks of different hardnesses.

That’s what they tell us, anyway!!

One last area I am going to look at before I start heading east from here, since I will cover the Niagara River where it enters Buffalo, New York, in the Lake Erie part of this series, is what is found looking around Grand Island, including a lighthouse and two golf courses.

Grand Island is an island town with a population of 21,389 in the 2020 census, and is the third largest island in the State of New York.

It is traversed by Interstate-190, and New York State Route 324.

Interstate 190 connects Interstate 90 in Buffalo with the International Border at Lewiston, where it crosses the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge and from there becomes Ontario Highway 405.

Interesting to note that parts of Interstate 190 were built along the Right-of-Ways of the Lehigh Valley Railroad and the Erie Canal.

For example, heading north out of Buffalo, Interstate 190 follows the eastern edge of the Black Rock Channel.

The Black Rock Channel is 3.5-miles, or 5.6-kilometers, -long, and extends from Buffalo Harbor to the Black Rock Lock.

The Black Rock Lock allows vessels to bypass rapids on the Niagara River at the outlet of Lake Erie.

We are told the first lock was constructed by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1833 for the Erie Canal, and that it was enlarged in 1913.

Heading north from Buffalo, Interstate 190 enters Grand Island across the South Grand Island Bridge across the Niagara River between Tonawanda and Grand Island.

The South Grand Island Bridge is a pair of twin, two-lane truss arch bridges.

Each bridge carries one-direction of Interstate 190 and State Route 324.

The historic Grand Island Range Front Lighthouse is located in Grandyle Village on the Tonawanda Channel to the south of the twin bridges.

We are told this lighthouse was originally built in 1917 in tandem with a skeletal rear range lighthouse.

The Grand Island Range Front Lighthouse is not operational, not open to the public and is located within a private marina.

The Tonawanda Channel that this lighthouse is on refers to a critical section of the Erie Canal, and is dredged and maintained to allow boat traffic to enter the canal system from the Niagara River or vice versa.

This channel connects the cities of Tonawanda and North Tonawanda, and is the western terminus of the modern Erie Canal.

The Beaver Island Golf Course is just below the location of the lighthouse at the southern tip of Grand Island.

On the northern end of Grand Island, the North Grand Island Bridge is also a pair of twin, two-lane truss arch bridges, and crosses between Grand Island and the city of Niagara Falls, New York.

Each bridge carries one-direction of Interstate 190.

Interstate 190 and State Route 324 provide access to the Niagara Amusement Park and Splash World at Fantasy Island close to the center of Grand Island.

Still operating as an amusement park, in the years since it first opened as “Fantasy Island” in 1961, it has had numerous changes in ownership.

Today it retains its original aspects of being a theme park, and has been expanded over the years with rides and the water park aspects.

Besides the Beaver Island Golf Course at the southern tip, there are several golf courses on and around Grand Island.

After crossing the North Grand Island Bridge, you immediately come to Love Canal to the east of Interstate 190.

Love Canal, a neighborhood of Niagara Falls, New York, became infamous because of an environmental disaster first reported here in 1977 resulting from a highly toxic landfill.

Decades of dumping toxic chemicals harmed residents, from profound health effects to death.

We are told the area was cleaned up as a Superfund project over a 21-year-period.

Today, some parts of Love Canal are considered a neighborhood but that the area is primarily limited to commercial and industrial use.

We are told in our historical narrative that work began in 1894 to dig a canal here, but that only 1-mile, or 1.6-kilometers, of it was completed, and it instead became a dumping ground, at first as a landfill for city trash, but then it was purchased by the Hooker Chemical Company in the 1940s, which used the site to dump 19,842-tons, or 18,000-metric-tonnes, of chemical by-products from the manufacturing of dyes, perfumes, and solvents for rubber and synthetic resins.

The Niagara Falls International Airport is located just north of the historic and present-day Love Canal neighborhood.

And more golf courses on the American and Canadian-sides of the city of Niagara Falls.

The Niagara Speedway is also in a linear relationship a short-distance away from the Niagara International Airport.

This finding is consistent with airports and present-day or historic racetracks around the world as I have shared previously…

…as well as consistently finding this relationship between airports and oval tracks in part 4 of this series on the Ontario-side of Lake Huron.

Circuit is a word that goes hand-in-hand with the world of racing, and I think that is what they were on the original energy grid before they were turned into sporting and gambling venues.

I believe everything on the original energy grid was a perfectly and precisely-placed component in a circuit board.

I go into great detail and provide many examples about why I believe this in myblog post “Circuit Board Earth,” and we are still using much of the enduring and sophisticated infrastructure of this advanced civilization in the present-day.

Now I am going to start to head east from the Niagara Falls region along the Erie Canal starting at Tonawanda, which for about half of its west-to-east distance roughly parallels the south shore of Lake Ontario, and covers places I want to look at through here on either side of it.

The Erie Canal in New York State runs for 351-miles, or 565-kilomters, between Lake Erie at Buffalo to the Hudson River near Albany.

It was said to have been constructed starting on July 4th of 1817 and first opened on October 26th of 1825.

In our historical narrative, the opening of the Erie Canal made it the first navigable waterway connecting the Atlantic region to the Great Lakes, and accelerated the settlement of the Great Lakes region, the westward expansion of the United States as it greatly reduced the cost of transporting people and goods across the Appalachian mountains.

According to what we have been told, the Erie Canal was built during the American Canal Age.

We are told the American Canal Age was between 1790 and 1855, and started in Pennsylvania, where the first legislation surveying canals was passed in 1762.

Other canals said to have been built during this time-period included the Union Canal, which was said to have been built between 1792 and 1828, running from Middletown, Pennsylvania to Reading, Pennsylvania.

We are told it was closed to use in 1885 because it could not compete with the “efficiency of the railroad.”

We still find sections of the old Union Canal on the “Bear Hole Trail” of Swatara State Park in Pennsylvania.

This section of the Union Canal was said to have been closed after the dam holding the reservoir was washed away by a devastating flood in 1862.

Also, the Lehigh Canal.

We are told the lower section of the Lehigh Canal was built between Easton, Pennsylvania and Mauch Chunk, now known as Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, with construction said to have been started in 1818, and completed in 1838.

This map also has a caption at the bottom that says this was the original Lehigh Valley Railroad line as well, which was said to have opened in 1855.

This would be the same Lehigh Valley Railway that I mentioned previously that parts of Interstate 190 were built along the Right-of-Ways for, along with the Erie Canal.

The Lehigh Gorge is part of the historic Lehigh Valley Railway, and what’s left is operates as a Scenic Railway, and today otherwise its abandoned railroad tracks are a recreational rail-trail.

It is another place I can add to my list of places I know of off the top of my head featuring the co-location of S-shaped river bends, railroads, canals, gorges, and waterfalls.

The Lehigh Gorge is described as a “steep-walled gorge carved by a river, thick vegetation, rock-outcroppings, and waterfalls characterize the state park.”

This is a view of the Lehigh Canal as it appeared at one time in our history in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania – located along this section in-between today’s Jim Thorpe and Easton in Pennsylvania.

Of the many inconsistencies we are told about canals, one is that after putting all the time, energy, and effort it would have taken to actually build the canals, they quickly became obsolete shortly after construction with the coming of the more efficient railroad, which were coming on-line concurrently with the canals, and that story is repeated over and over again, all over the country.

So I am going to start heading east in New York at the Erie Canal in Tonawanda and look around the pinned places here: Lockport; Medina Falls; then northwest up to Thirty-Mile Point Lighthouse, which is located in Golden Hill State Park on the shore of Lake Ontario; and then in a southerly direction to look at Akron Falls and Indian Falls.

First, Tonawanda.

Tonawanda is at the northern edge of Erie County, south across the Erie Canal (Tonawanda Creek) from North Tonawanda, just east of Grand Island and north of Buffalo, as previously mentioned.

We are told the area was first settled in 1808, and that it grew slowly until the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, and the Town of Tonawanda was incorporated in 1836.

After the opening of the Erie Canal, the railroads soon followed, and by the end of the 19th-century, both sides of the canal were utilized as part of the lumber-processing industry.

This postcard of the canal entrance in Tonawanda was circa 1910, and we are told the section of the Erie Canal from Tonawanda to Buffalo was filled-in by 1918.

Tonawanda Creek is part of the Erie Canal, which joins the creek southwest of Lockport, and allowed canal traffic to reach the Niagara River.

From 1911 to 1992, the Spaulding Fibre Company was a major employer in Tonawanda.

After its closure, it was left derelict and designated as a “brownfield” site because of the waste of industrial processes, and the plant was demolished and the site “cleaned-up” in 2010.

The historical Kibler High School in Tonawanda was said to have been designed and built in 1925 in the Classical Revival Style, and functioned as a school until 1983, and after that it was turned into senior housing in the mid-2000’s.

The city of North Tonawanda is in neighboring Niagara County.

North Tonawanda was once the largest port on the Great Lakes during the height of the Erie Canal around the mid-1850s to the 1880s for commercial tonnage.

There were a number of luxurious mansions on Goundry Street, said to have been built for wealthy bankers and lumber barons who settled here from the earliest days of North Tonawanda.

By the 1940s, however, many were shuttered due to high maintenance costs, and many converted into apartments.

Another claim to fame of North Tonawanda, besides its nickname “The Lumber City,” was “Home of the Carousel.”

North Tonawanda was the birthplace of the Herschell-Spillman/Allan Herschel Company, one of America’s leading carousel manufacturers and today is home of the Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum.

The Railroad Museum of the Niagara Frontier is in North Tonawanda on Oliver Street in what we are told was a 1923 Erie Railroad Station.

And like we saw in a number of places on the Ontario-side of Lake Huron in the last part of this series, North Tonawanda had a Carnegie Library, which today is the Carnegie Art Center.

The Carnegie Library here was said to have been designed and built in the Classical Revival-style in 1903 with funds provided by Andrew Carnegie.

In our historical narrative, there were over 2,500 Carnegie Libraries built around the world between 1883 and 1929, with most of them being in the United States, but there were Carnegie Libraries in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Serbia, Belgium, France, the Caribbean, Mauritius, Malaysia and Fiji as well.

Andrew Carnegie was a Scottish immigrant to America, who came to Pittsburgh in 1848 with his parents at the age of 12, got his start as a telegrapher, and who by the 1860s, had investments in such things as railroads, bridges and oil derricks, and ultimately worked his way into being a major player in Pittsburgh’s steel industry.

Andrew Carnegie was ranked as the 6th-richest American of all-time by CNN Business, with an adjusted wealth of $101-billion.

Among many other things, the Carnegie Foundation has been highly involved in the American Educational System, along with the Rockefeller Foundation.

Even as early as 1914, the National Education Association expressed alarm at the activity of the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations, and their efforts to control the policies of State educational institutions, and everything related to the educational system.

The next place I am going to look at is the City of Lockport.

It was named for a set of Erie Canal Locks that allowed canal barges to traverse the 60-foot, or 18-meter, drop of the Niagara Escarpment.

We are told the New York State Legislature authorized the building of the Erie Canal in 1816, and that by 1820, the location of the step locks had been determined in what became Lockport on the proposed route of the canal.

At that time, the area was owned by fifteen men.

Lockport was incorporated as a city in 1865, which would have been the last year of the American Civil War in our historical narrative, and the first official city of Niagara County.

Interesting to note that Quakers were early bankers in our historical narrative.

The origins of Lloyds Bank, the largest retail bank in Great Britain, go back to 1765, when Quaker iron producer and dealer Sampson Lloyd set-up a private banking business in Birmingham with industrialist John Taylor.

E

The multinational universal bank Barclays traces its origins to Quaker goldsmiths John Freame, his brother-in-law Thomas Gould, and their apprentice James Barclay in 1690, at a time during which goldsmiths held cash deposits and issued receipts that came to be used as money.

The City of Lockport is famous for the “Flight of Five Locks.”

When the Erie Canal opened, the “Flight of Five Locks” was considered the greatest series of high-lift locks in the shortest distance of any canal in the United States.

We are told that one of the biggest challenges in the construction of the Erie Canal was the Niagara Escarpment in Lockport, and that thousands of canal builders dug and blasted through rock for several years.

Interesting that the caption of this illustration reads “Process of Excavation, Lockport.”

The word excavation refers to the “act or process of digging, especially when something specific is being removed from the ground.”

The Old City Hall in Lockport was said to have been built in 1864 as a mill, and then became a water-pumping plant, and in 1893, the City Hall, which it was until 1974.

Today it is home to Lockport’s Urban Winery.

The Niagara County Court House in Lockport was said to have been originally constructed in 1886 in the “Second Empire Architectural-Style,” with additions in 1915 – 1917 and 1955 – 1958.

The former Union Station in Lockport is an abandoned building today.

Said to have been constructed in 1889 for the New York Central Railroad in the Romanesque architectural-style.

It served the New York Central’s “Falls Line,” which connected Niagara Falls and Rochester.

The station was closed in 1957 when passenger service ended.

There is active freight service on the tracks beside the Union Station, which are owned by the “Falls Road Railroad” and there has been a limited heritage railroad operation between Lockport and Medina since 2002.

The Lockport Cave can refer to one of two caverns beneath Lockport.

One of the caves was said to have formed naturally, and the other is a hydraulic raceway, or water-tunnel, that was said to have been constructed in the 19th-century.

What is called the natural cave has been sealed since 1886.

The manmade hydraulic raceway, frequently called the “Lockport Caves” by locals, was said to have been constructed between 1858 and 1900.

It has supplied water to local industries for decades, and features an Underground Boat Ride tourist attraction.

The next place I am going to look at after Lockport is Medina, which is the location of Medina Falls.

Medina Falls on Oak Orchard Creek flow 40-feet, or 12-meters, under the Erie Canal.

Medina is a village in Orleans County, New York. about 10-miles, or 16-kilometers, south of Lake Ontario.

It is an hour from Buffalo to the west, and an hour from Rochester to the east.

The population was 6,065 in the 2010 census.

At the start of the 20th-century, it was a thriving, industrial town.

It was said to have developed after the construction of the Erie Canal, which bends as it passes through Medina.

This became the center of businesses that served trade and passenger service on the canal boats of the Erie Canal.

Mills went into operation…

…and apples were harvested in orchards on the fertile land in the surrounding area.

The railroad arrived in Medina in 1852 in the form of the “Falls Road Railroad” operated by the Rochester, Lockport, and Niagara Falls Railroad, and the “Rochester, Lockport, and Buffalo Railroad” offered electric streetcar service in Medina.

What’s left to find out about the city’s rail past is found in the Medina Railroad Museum.

There’s actually a lot more to find in this relatively small village today on the Erie Canal, but this gives you the idea.

Next I am going to turn my attention to the Thirty-Mile Point Lighthouse at Golden Hill State Park on the south shore of Lake Ontario, northwest of Medina.

The Thirty-Mile Point Lighthouse was said to have been built in 1875 from hand-carved stone.

Its name comes from being located 30-miles east of the Niagara River.

It was one of five lighthouses chosen for the “Lighthouses of the Great Lakes” postage stamp series in 1995, where one lighthouse was chosen for each of the Great Lakes.

The location of the Thirty-Mile Point Lighthouse is in Golden Hill State Park, which is located in the northeast corner of the Town of Somerset.

We are told it was established on the former estate of Robert Newell, a local industrialist, and that most of his estate was abandoned after the state purchased it, and not rediscovered until 2017.

Here are some photos of the shoreline here at Golden Hill State Park, with megalithic-looking stone blocks on the left, and a wall of stone on the right high above the surface of the lake.

We are told that is sedimentary rock, but I suspect that is a term that covers-up built infrastructure from an ancient advanced civilization of Moorish Master Masons that was destroyed relatively recently.

The Robert H. Newell Company manufactured custom-tailored shirts for wealthy and famous customers in Medina for almost 100-years, from 1918 to 2004.

The nearby town of Somerset was the home of the Somerset, or Kintigh Generating Station until it was retired in 2020.

It was a 675-megawatt coal-fired power plant that started operating in 1984, and was the last coal-fired plant in New York.

The Akron Falls and Indian Falls are located to the southeast of Lockport, and south and southwest of Medina Falls in Medina.

First Akron Falls.

There are two waterfalls on Murder Creek in Akron Falls Park in the village of Akron and Town of Newstead – Upper Akron Falls and Lower Akron Falls, located right next to each other in the park.

Murder Creek is a tributary to Tonawanda Creek which empties into the Niagara River.

The Upper Akron Falls have a drop of roughly 20-feet, or 6-meters, and often divided in two side-by-side drops by a rock-outcropping in the face.

The Lower Akron Falls are about 40-feet, or 12-meters, -high.

There is a U-shaped dam with a 2-foot, or .61-meter, drop at the pond at the western end of the park.

In 1933, there were approximately 90 workers from the Civil Works Administration, one of FDR’s New Deal Programs, sent “to improve the park.”

I have long-believed that President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal work programs played a significant role in the historical reset and the cover-up of the ancient civilization.

New Deal Agencies like the CCC and WPA in particular were responsible for creating access and infrastructure for the park and recreation system around the country. 

So when people go to these places, they think what they see was created by the CCC & WPA workers. 

The Upper and Lower Akron Falls flow over what is called the Onandaga Escarpment.

In western New York State, the Niagara Escarpment runs fro Lewiston and trends easterly for 79-miles, or 127-kilometers, to just beyond Rocheaster.

The Onandaga Escarpment runs for 62-miles, or 100-kilometers, from Buffalo in an easterly direction to just beyond Caledonia.

Both escarpments feature numerous waterfalls, in addition to the ones I am highlighting.

I strongly suspect that these escarpments and their waterfalls were intentionally-designed components of the hydroelectric infrastructure of the original energy grid, and were not natural in origin as we have been taught to believe.

Indian Falls are a short distance to the east of Akron Falls.

Indian Falls are a 20-foot, or 6-meter, cascade on the Tonawanda Creek over the Onondaga Escarpment in the hamlet of Indian Falls, New York, in Genessee County.

This is the same Tonawanda Creek on the Erie Canal that divides Tonawanda and North Tonawanda before it empties into the Niagara River at Grand Island, upstream from the Niagara Falls.

Indian Falls was in the historical lands of the Seneca Nation, the Keeper of the Western Door.

The Seneca were among the first five nations of the Iroquois Confederacy, also known as the Haudenosaunee, along with the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, and Cayuga.

The Haudenosaunee are a Confederacy bound by the Great Law of Peace, a constitution that established a representative government and is still in use today.

The Tuscarora were accepted into the Confederacy in 1722, and became known as the “Six Nations.”

In the 21st-century, more than 10,000 Seneca have three federally-recognized tribes.

Federally-recognized tribes have a government-to-government relationship with the United States government, including tribal sovereignty and eligibility for federal benefits.

Two of them are in New York State – the Seneca Nation of New York with five territories in western New York near Buffalo…

…and the Tonawanda Seneca Nation.

The Seneca-Cayuga Nation is in Oklahoma, where there ancestors were relocated from Ohio during the Indian Removals in our historical narrative in the period of time between 1830 and 1847.

Approximately 1,000 Seneca live in Canada near Brantford, Ontario, at the Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation, which I will be talking about later in this post when I get to that side of Lake Ontario in the next part of this series, and the Grand River also has numerous waterfalls along its course, among other waterfalls in the area on the Niagara Escarpment around Hamilton.

The next places I am going to take a look at are Buttermilk Falls, which are east of Indian Falls on the Onondaga Escarpment, and the city of Rochester and the surrounding area on the shore of Lake Ontario have some places I am going to take a look at to the northeast of Buttermilk Falls, including the Braddock Point Lighthouse, Turtle Rock, the Charlotte-Genessee Lighthouse, Seabreeze Amusement Park, and Lower & High Falls.

First, Buttermilk Falls.

Buttermilk Falls on Oatka Creek in LeRoy, New York, is located on private property and not open to the public.

Oatka Creek empties into the Genessee River northeast of LeRoy, and the Genessee River flows through Rochester and into Lake Ontario.

The unnamed road the Buttermilk Falls are on was at one point a rail-line that was part of the Lehigh Valley Line.

As I was looking around for information on Buttermilk Falls, I found the LeRoy Falls, also on Oatka Creek, on LeRoy’s Mill Street.

Mills powered industry in LeRoy through much of its history.

They are described as having a wide natural cascade that is 4-feet, or 1.22-meters, -high.

Above the cascade is a man-made dam that spans the creek.

To the south on Oatka Creek in LeRoy is another man-made dam.

One of LeRoy’s claims-to-fame is being the birthplace of Jell-O in the early 1900s, that was invented by a local carpenter who was said to be experimenting with gelatin to create a home remedy.

Next, I am going to head on up to the Rochester area on the Genessee River, and take a look around, starting with the Braddock Point Lighthouse on Lake Ontario.

The Braddock Point Lighthouse was said to have been constructed sometime around 1895 and lit in 1896, and at that time looked like this – it was constructed with red brick with an octagonal tower.

Then we are told the lighthouse was deactivated in 1954, and the U. S. Coast Guard removed the upper two-thirds of the lighthouse due to structural damage.

The Coast Guard reactivated the lighthouse in 1999, and it is still an active lighthouse.

Since that time it has been privately-owned as a residence, and also operated as a bed-and-breakfast.

It recently sold to new owners in May of 2025 for and had been listed for sale on the real estate market for $1.49-million.

Turtle Rock, east of the Braddock Point Lighthouse, caught my attention when it showed up just offshore on Google Earth because I am interested in these kinds of things as evidence of submerged land.

I can’t find much information about it or a picture of it except that it is a known hazard to boats.

Next, we are told the Charlotte-Genessee Lighthouse is an octagonal lighthouse that was built in 1822, and the light was turned off in 1881.

The 40-foot, or 12-meter, -tall tower is located at the entrance of the Genesee River, and is still an active light as of 2014.

It was going to be demolished in 1965, but a local effort saved it from destruction and is today owned by Monroe County and houses a museum.

The Charlotte-Genessee Lighthouse is part of what is called the “Seaway Trail,” a National Scenic Byway of roads and highways that runs for 518-miles, or 834-kilometers, along Lake Erie, the Niagara River, Lake Ontario, and the St. Lawrence River.

On Lake Erie, attractions along the Seaway Trail in Pennsylvania include Presque Isle State Park and Waldameer Park and Water World, which I will be talking about in the Lake Erie segment of this series.

So in the Rochester-area, the presence of the Seabreeze Amusement Park caught my attention, where it is sandwiched between Irondequoit Bay, the Durand Eastman Golf Course, and Lake Ontario, and we’ve already come across the Niagara Amusement Park and Splash World at Fantasy Island close to the center of Grand Island in the Niagara River.

The Seabreeze Amusement Park is an historic family amusement park in the Irondequoit suburb of Rochester that is the fourth-oldest operating amusement park in the United States, and the thirteenth-oldest in the world, having opened in 1879.

We are told that in the 1870s, the shore of Lake Ontario became a destination for tourists coming from Rochester, and that in 1879, the Rochester and Lake Ontario Railroad built a rail-line from Portland Avenue in Rochester to the Sea Breeze neighborhood at the inlet of Irondequoit Bay as its terminus, and subsequently opened a resort for picnics and other summer activities, which opened on August 5th of 1879.

The Rochester and Suburban Railway took over park operations after the Rochester and Lake Ontario Railroad went bankrupt.

The Rochester and Suburban Railway was a streetcar company, and while there continued to be a lot of ownership mergers and changes over the years, the Sea Breeze streetcar line was closed in 1936, because, we are told, of the Great Depression.

The Seabreeze Amusement Park is one of the relatively few trolley parks that managed to survive into the present-day, though minus the trolleys and probably a few other things.

Trolley parks were said to have started in the United States in the 19th-century as picnic and recreation areas at the ends of streetcar lines, and were precursors to today’s amusement parks.

By 1919, there were estimated to be between 1,500 and 2,000 such parks. 

But like what we have already seen, these magnificent trolley parks went the way of the dinosaur too, along with countless electric streetcar lines, canals, and railroad lines.

I have come to believe that they were somehow involved with recharging the Earth’s energy grid for the original civilization in a really fun way, as they were located at the end terminals of streetcar lines, and by-and-large were utilized by the bringers-in of the world’s new system for a short time until they were no longer needed, or just plain inconvenient to the new narrative.

Next the Lower Falls, the Middle Falls, and the High Falls are on the Genessee River in downtown Rochester.

The Lower Falls are a massive 110-foot, or 34-meter, -high cascade in a U-shaped gorge.

The top of the falls is capped with a small dam to keep the flow to the Rochester Gas & Electric hydroelectric power plant reliable.

What was once the Middle Falls was capped with a hydroelectric dam.

The High Falls, also known as the Upper Falls, are 2-miles, or 3.2-kilometers, upstream on the Genessee River from the other falls.

The High Falls was the location of the final jump of Sam Patch.

Sam Patch was the first American daredevil.

Nicknamed among other things the “Yankee Jumper,” he got his start in the jumping business in New Jersey, where he jumped from such places as bridges, factory walls, and ships’ masts.

Then, on October 17th of 1829, he successfully jumped from a raised platform into the Niagara River near the base of the Niagara Falls.

Buoyed by his success, his next stunt was to jump into the Genesee River at High Falls in Rochester, New York, on November 6th of 1829, and this jump was successful as well.

Unfortunately for Sam, his luck ran out, and he did not survive his second jump into the Genessee River at High Falls, and was killed by his famed leaping act.

Like we saw back in Niagara Falls, the historic Mill District of Rochester ran along the edge of the Genessee River between the city’s waterfalls.

As one example, Rochester was home to so many flour mills it was nicknamed the “Flour City.”

Frederick Law Olmsted was credited with the design of four parks in Rochester – Highland Park; the Genessee Valley Park; Maplewood Park; and Seneca Park, which is a zoo.

Highland Park was one of the first municipal arboretums in the United States.

Among many other things, Highland Park shares the location with a water reservoir.

As the story goes, two local nurserymen endowed Rochester with 20-acres, or 8.1-hectares, of land which became Highland Park in 1888.

There are extensive lilac varieties on the grounds, and the park hosts a lilac festival every May.

The Rochester Civic Garden Center is housed in what is called the Warner Castle, and offers an extensive horticultural and botanical library to the public.

The Warner Castle was said to have been designed by Horatio Gates Warner, and built as his private residence in 1854.

Warner was a Rochester attorney and newspaper editor.

There is what is called a sunken garden behind the castle that today is a popular location for wedding shoots.

Sunken gardens are defined as gardens that lie below the surrounding ground level that were popular in the Victorian and Edwardian eras.

There’s more at Highland Park, but this gives you the idea.

Olmsted was also credited with the design of the the Genesee Valley Park in 1888, along the shores of the Genessee River.

The still in-use portion of the Erie Canal, which is the New York State Barge Canal, crosses the Genessee River in the Park.

There is also a golf course here.

The University of Rochester is located right next to the Genessee Valley Park.

Maplewood Park and Rose Garden, also attributed to Frederick Law Olmsted, is a linear park that follows the Genessee River from the Lower Falls, to just north of Route 104, ending at the pedestrian bridge over the river.

This is where the former Mill District of Rochester was located.

The Rose Gardens are in the Lower Maplewood Park, where you can also see the Lower Falls and Gorge.

Lastly, Olmsted was credited with the design of Seneca Park, which is the Seneca Park Zoo.

It is located in Irondequoit, where the Seabreeze Amusement Park is located.

The park was first opened in 1893, and animals displayed there in a zoo setting in 1894.

We tend not to register the megalithic, cut-and-shaped stone blocks in the landscape around us because they are not supposed to be there and assumed to be natural.

But once we notice they are there, they are found everywhere.

And come to find out, there are waterfalls here too, known as “Zoo Falls,” located within the park.

I bring the Frederick Law Olmsted parks up because we’ve already seen his historical presence on Lake Michigan – at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair and in Milwaukee, Lake Park and Juneau Park in Milwaukee – and I know we are going to see him again in Buffalo on Lake Erie.

In our historical narrative, Frederick Law Olmsted was a journalist before becoming a prolific and celebrated landscape architect, was said to have gotten its start teaming up with Calvert Vaux in the design and creation of Central Park in New York City.

Olmsted and his firm was credited altogether with some 500 design projects, including, but not limited to, 100 public parks, 200 private estates, 50 residential communities, and 40 academic campus designs.

I think that Frederick Law Olmsted was a major player in the creation of the new reset narrative of our history.

I talked about his role in-depth in this post “The Life & Times of Frederick Law Olmsted – A Retrospective of Reset History.”

For the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago, we are told Frederick Law Olmsted collaborated with yet another prolific architect, Chicagoan Daniel Burnham, to adapt Olmsted’s design of a Venetian-inspired pleasure ground, complete with waterways and places for quiet reflection in nature that complemented the grand architecture of the World’s Fair.

This area was described as a sandy area along Chicago’s lakeshore that looked like a deserted marsh before construction began, but Olmsted saw, we are told, the area’s potential, and that his design included lagoons and what became known as Wood Island since they had not been developed yet.

As the person responsible for planning the basic land- and water-shape of the exposition grounds, we are told that Olmsted concluded the marshy areas of Jackson Park could be converted into waterways, and that workers dredged sand out of the marshes to make lagoons of different shapes and sizes.

Two Milwaukee parks were said to have been designed by Frederick Law Olmsted.

Starting in 1892, Olmsted was credited with the design of Lake Park, the terrain of which included a golf course as well as bluffs and ravines…

…and the grounds of which, besides the North Point Lighthouse, contain what is called the “Grand Stairway,” said to have been completed in 1908…

…and the “Lion Bridge,” so-named for Eight Stone Lions said to have been placed to guard each end of two bridges that cross the south ravine on either side of the North Point lighthouse.

Juneau Park was the other park that Frederick Law Olmsted was credited with the design of in Milwaukee.

Juneau Park is situated on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan and is a short walking distance to downtown Milwaukee, and named after the city’s first mayor, Solomon Juneau.

The Lake Front Depot and the railroad tracks can be seen in historic postcards of Juneau Park.

The Lake Front Depot was said to have been constructed between 1889 and 1890 by the Chicago and Northwestern Railway.

The Lake Front Depot was in-use until 1966, and it was torn down two-years later, in April of 1968.

Now I am going to take a look at this location south of Rochester and the historic Erie Canal because we are now entering the Finger Lakes region of New York.

The Finger Lakes as a whole are constituted by eleven long and narrow lakes that are roughly north-to-south, and in our accepted scientific paradigm, are considered to be lakes in “overdeepened glacial valleys.”

Cayuga and Seneca Lakes are among the deepest in the United States.

Their name goes back to the 19th-century in a paper that was published for the United States Geological Survey in 1883 by geologist Thomas Chamberlin, who later founded the Journal of Geology in 1893.

I find it interesting to note the presence of numerous waterfalls through here as well.

I am now going to take a detour and take a look at the Finger Lakes by way of the waterfalls , a region which I find highly intriguing for what we might actually be looking at.

I am going to go from west-to-east, starting at Warsaw Falls.

Warsaw Falls are on Stony Creek in Wyoming County in Warsaw, New York.

There are three large Warsaw Falls, and the one in Warsaw Village Park has an 80-foot, or 24-meter, drop.

The Stony Creek, which starts at the Attica Reservoir, connects to Oatka Creek, which connects to Genessee Creek, which connects to Lake Ontario.

Stony Creek flows through a tunnel under the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad bridge just before reaching the Warsaw Falls.

Warsaw was divided north and south by two major railroads, the Erie on the west, and the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh (B. R. & P.) Railroad on the east.

The B. R. & P. Railroad station was the only one remaining of the original train stations and facilities in Warsaw – it has been long-abandoned and likely to be demolished if it hasn’t been already.

The town of Warsaw is located 37-miles, or 60-kilometers, to the southeast of Buffalo, and is the same distance southwest of Rochester, and was first settled in 1803.

We are told, as the town became settled, its economic industries included salt, stone quarries, mills and agriculture, and schools and churches were built.

Next, are the Letchworth Falls in Letchworth State Park, which consist of Upper, Middle, and Lower waterfalls on the Genessee River.

Here, the Genessee River flows north through a deep gorge over the waterfalls.

The rock walls of the gorge rise up 550-feet, or 170-meters, in places, prompting the area’s reputation as the “Grand Canyon of the East.”

We are told that in 1859, the industrialist William Pryor Letchworth purchased the land near the Middle Falls to build his Glen Iris Estate, which still stands today as the Glen Iris Inn.

Today’ the’s Glen Iris Inn is located on top of a cliff overlooking the Middle Falls.

Then in 1906, Letchworth bequeathed 1,000-acres, or 4 kilometers-squared to New York State, which became the core of the newly-created Letchworth State Park.

The Genessee Arch Bridge, also known as the Portage Viaduct, an active railroad bridge of the Southern Tier Line of the Norfolk Southern freight railroad, crosses over the Genessee River just above the Upper Falls.

The Upper Falls are horseshoe-shaped, and 70-feet, or 21-meters, -high.

We are told that this is the third railroad bridge in this general location.

The first was a wooden trestle railroad bridge that was said to have been constructed by the Erie Railroad Company starting in 1851 and first opened in 1852, which would have been 9-years before the start of the American Civil War in in 1861.

It was said to be the tallest and longest wooden bridge in the world at the time, but sadly it burned down in tremendous fire on May 6th of 1875.

We are then told that immediately after the loss of the first wooden bridge, the Erie Railroad moved quickly to replace the wooden bridge with an iron bridge, with construction starting a month later, on June 8th of 1875, and that the new bridge opened for traffic a little more than a month later , on July 31st of 1875.

The Genessee Arch Bridge there today was said to have been constructed between 2015 and 2017 to the south of the 1875 bridge in order to replace it.

Like the Upper Falls, the Lower Falls are also 70-feet, or 21-meters, -high.

The Lower Falls can be accessed for a different view of them by way of a 100-step stone staircase that goes to the bottom of the gorge.

The historic Genessee Valley Canal was located in the vicinity of what is today the Letchworth State Park.

The Genessee Valley Canal operated in western New York between 1840 and 1878.

It was 124-miles, or 200-kilometers, -long, and passed through 106 locks.

We are told it was later used by the Genessee Valley Canal Railroad for a period of time. nb

Today it comprises portions of the Genessee Valley Greenway.

The historic Genessee Valley Canal converged in Rochester with the Erie Canal.

The Letchworth State Park and waterfalls there are located close to the Stony Brook State Park.

We are told that Stony Brook State Park in Danville, New York, became a summer tourist destination in the late 19th-century following the construction of a railroad in 1883, but that the resort had already fallen into decline by the 1920s, but that the State of New York resurrected the area by acquiring the land and establishing the park in 1928.

Originally in the traditional lands of the Seneca nation, Stony Brook State Park became popular for its rugged gorge, waterfalls, and recreational activities.

There are three waterfalls in the Stony Brook State Park – the Upper, Middle, and Lower Falls.

The Upper Falls are 45-feet, or 13.8-meters, high.

The Middle Falls at Stony Brook State Park are 20-feet, or 6-meters, -high…

…and the Lower Falls are around 15-feet, or 5-meters, -high.

All three are accessible for viewing on the 1.5-mile, or almost 1-kilometer, -long East Rim Trail, also known as the Falls Trail, which goes through the gorge, and also has stone steps on it.

Like the Akron Falls Park on Murder Creek back in the village of Akron and Town of Newstead, we are told that the Stony Brook State Park was enhanced in the 1930s by another one of FDR’s New Deal Programs, in this case, the Civilian Conservation Corps, and Works Progress Administration, who were said to have built the hiking trails, bridges, picnic areas, and buildings.

The Barnes Creek Gully Falls are to the northeast of Stony Brook State Park, on the western side of Canandaigua Lake, the westernmost of the major Finger Lakes.

The Barnes Creek Gully Falls are on Barnes Creek.

Like we have been seeing all along the way, there are three waterfalls here.

One of them is in Onanda Park, and there are two in the same vicinity on private property.

Canandaigua Lake is known for its water quality, and in 2013 and 2017 was voted as the best drinking water for the State of New York.

The lake’s water is well-oxygenated and clear.

Interesting to note the Sonnenberg Gardens and Mansion State Park at the northern end of the lake in the city of Canandaigua.

We are told the property was once the summer home of Frederick Ferris Thompson and his wife Mary Clark Thompson, whose Clark family was from Canandaigua, including Myron Clark Holley, the Governor of New York State in 1855.

The Thompsons were said to have purchased the Sonnenberg property in 1863, and replaced the farmhouse with a 40-room, Queen Anne-style mansion.

The original property was said to have about 100-acres, or 40-hectares, of farmland that were converted into gardens between 1902 and 1919.

We are told the Thompsons’ died childless, and that their nephew who inherited the property sold it to the federal government in 1931, who built a veteran’s hospital on the adjacent farmland which is still today’s Canandaigua VA Medical Center.

In 1972, by an Act of Congress called the “Sonnenberg Bill,” the land was transferred from the federal government to a local organization formed to restore and reopen the property, which opened to the public in 1973, and is particularly popular as a wedding venue.

The first train arrived in Canandaigua in 1840 as the Rochester-Auburn Railroad.

Continuing to grow as a transportation hub through the 19th-century, at its height it had 36 trains running daily.

The last passenger train ran on May 18th of 1958, and today the Finger Lakes Railroad only runs freight service.

There’s a railroad marker that tells us about the the railroad history here and its importance.

There’s a mural of the historic train depot on a building across the railroad tracks from the marker.

The Canandaigua Street Railroad was chartered as a local streetcar line in Canandaigua from 1887.

It started out first being pulled by horses when it first started operating, but was electrified in 1892.

The conversion to bus operations started in the 1920s, and the streetcar line in Canandaigua was shutdown completely on July 31st of 1930.

There’s a lot more to find here, but this gives you the idea.

Seneca Lake is to the east of Canandaigua Lake, and at the southern end has Hector Falls and Montour Falls, as well as the village of Watkins Glen.

Seneca Lake is the largest and deepest of the Finger Lakes.

It is 38-miles, or 61-kilometers, -long, and has a maximum depth of over 618-feet, or 188-meters, and holds the most water of the Finger Lakes.

As a result of its depth and that it is easy to get to, the United States Navy uses Seneca Lake to perform test and evaluation of equipment.

Seneca Lake is promoted as the lake trout capital of the world, and hosts the National Lake Trout Derby every year.

Geneva is at the northern end of Seneca Lake, in an area long-occupied by the Seneca people.

The village of Geneva was first incorporated in 1806, and the city chartered in 1871.

The Cayuga-Seneca Canal connects Seneca Lake and the neighboring Cayuga Lake to the Erie Canal, and is 20-miles, or 32-kilometers-long.

The Cayuga-Seneca Canal flowed north through Geneva.

Its construction was said to have been completed in 1818.

More on this canal to come.

On the southern end of Seneca Lake, we find Hector Falls, Watkins Glen, and Montour Falls.

First Hector Falls.

Hector Falls is on the eastern shore of Seneca Lake just to the northeast of Watkins Glen.

Hector Falls is described as a striking, broad waterfall cascading 250-feet, or 76-meters, over natural stone steps.

Hector Falls is located along New York State Route 414 heading north from Watkins Glen.

The southern terminus of NY 414 is in Corning and the northern terminus is in Huron, New York, near the southern shore of Lake Ontario, and an area I will be looking a closer look at in this post.

A few interesting things to note about NY-414.

One is that it intersects every major east-west artery in western New York, including the Southern Tier Expressway, which is Interstate 86; the New York State Thruway, which is Interstate 90; and US-20.

Interstate 90 and US-20 run parallel to each other until Rockford, Illinois.

I will be talking more about US-20 in particular in the Lake Erie part of this series.

US-20 is a major east-west highway that runs all the way across the continent, and runs along the southern shores of both Lake Erie and Lake Michigan, starting at Route 2 at Kenmore Square in Boston, Massachusetts, and ending at US 101 in Newport, Oregon.

The southern terminus of NY 414, Corning, was best-known initially for the Corning Glass Works.

What became the Corning Glass Works was founded in 1851 in Massachusetts as the Bay State Glass Company, and the company eventually moved to Corning in 1868.

Then in 1915, Corning launched Pyrex, the first cookware with temperature-resistant glass.

Over the years, what is today known as Corning Incorporated continues to specialize in glass and ceramics as well as technologies including advanced optics for industrial and scientific applications.

The Armory in Corning was said to have been designed in the Gothic Revival Style and constructed in 1934, which would have been in the middle of the Great Depression.

It has been the local YMCA since 1977.

The small village of Watkins Glen, which had a population of 1,829 in the 2020 census, is best-known for the Watkins Glen International race track southwest of the village, which has been the home to car racing of every class, including but not limited to, NASCAR, International Motor Sports Association, and was the former home of the Formula One United States Grand Prix, which it hosted from 1961 to 1980.

Watkins Glen State Park is also to the southwest, located between the race track and the village, and Montour Falls to the southeast of the village and the park, with the Catharine Creek Wildlife Management Area in-between.

First, Watkins Glen State Park.

Watkins Glen State Park was first opened to the public in 1863, and has been a public park since 1906.

The park has a 400-foot, or 122-meter, -deep gorge, featuring 19 waterfalls in less than 2-miles, or 3-kilometers.

There are manmade stonewalls and bridges throughout the gorge, and the main Gorge Trail has 832 stone steps.

We are told in our historical narrative that John Lytle became the Glen’s proprietor in 1873, and built a hotel called the Glen Mountain House here.

In the years following, this location became a nationally-known resort, and in 1902, the New York Central Railroad began selling excursion tickets here from New York City.

The increasing number of tourists saw more choosing camping to experience the gorge, and the Glen Mountain House was subsequently demolished after a fire in 1903, and the area converted to permanent campgrounds.

As mentioned, Montour Falls is to the southeast of the general area of Watkins Glen, and like what I’ve already been finding, there’s waterfalls all over the place around here!

Come to find out, Montour Falls is a village named for Queen Catharine Montour, a prominent Iroquois leader who lived in the area, and for the Shequaga Falls at the end of West Main Street.

The Catharine’s Creek Wildlife Management Area is in-between Montour Falls and Watkins Glen.

The Catharine’s Creek WMA is described as over 700-acres, or 283-hectares, of protected wetland in a marsh directly south of Watkins Glen.

It has a few miles of hiking trails.

I have been talking throughout this series and in many other places, of my consistent finding of wetlands, as well as estuaries, deserts and dunes, as evidence of destroyed land, which I believe took place when the earth’s original energy grid was deliberately destroyed relatively recently.

Catharine Creek, also named after Queen Catharine Montour, is a 15-mile, or 24-kilometer, -long waterway that is a major tributary to Seneca Lake.

It flows mostly along New York State Route 14, which runs concurrently with NY-414 through Watkins Glen.

We are told that the Chemung Canal was a former canal in New York that ran through the Catharine Creek Valley from Horseheads to Seneca Lake during the mid-19th-century, from 1833 until 1878, and that after the canal closed in 1878, the Pennsylvania Railroad took over much of the canal’s right-of-way.

The Catharine Valley Trail is a rails-to-trails project that has been under development since the early 2000s, and follows former railroad beds and canal towpaths near Catharine’s Creek.

Now I am doing to take a look at the neighboring Cayuga Lake, first by way of Seneca Falls, which connects back to the Cayuga-Seneca Canal mentioned previously, and then work my way down to Taughannock Falls and Ithaca Falls, as well as Ithaca.

First, Seneca Falls.

This is what we are told.

The Seneca River, the main tributary of the Oswego River, flowing 61.6-miles, or 99.1-kilometers through the Finger Lakes Region, begins at Geneva, and flows east past Waterloo and Seneca Falls, and skirts the northern end of Cayuga Lake, and turns north at the Montezuma Marsh National Wildlife Refusge, another protected wetland.

We are told the private Seneca Lock Navigation Company was formed in 1813, and dammed three sets of rapids and installed locks to allow goods to be transported to the Erie Canal, and that the locks at Seneca Falls were completed in 1818, and that by 1821, there were eight stone locks between the two lakes and nearly two-miles or 3-kilometers, of dug canals.

For all intents and purposes in our narrative, the Cayuga-Seneca Canal was first opened in 1828 connecting to the Erie Canal at Montezuma.

Cayuga Lake is the longest and second largest of the Finger Lakes, after Seneca Lake.

We are told that the water-level of Cayuga Lake is regulated by the Mud Lock at the north-end of the Lake, which is lock 1 of the Cayuga-Seneca Canal.

The north-end of Cayuga Lake is dominated by shallow mudflats and wetlands.

Interestingly, the Finger Lakes Vintage Rail Experience still runs on the north-end of Cayuga Lake across the Cayuga Lake Causeway…

…and throughout the northern end of the Finger Lakes region.

Now I am going to drop on down to the southern end of Cayuga Lake, and take a look at Taughannock Falls, Ithaca Falls, and Ithaca.

Taughannock Falls, at 215-feet, or 66-meters, -tall, is the tallest, single-drop waterfall in the United States.

I have long suspected that waterfalls are infrastructure of some kind, and not created by natural forces over a vast periods of geological time as we have always been taught.

Early on in my research years ago, I studied countless images and videos of waterfalls on the Internet, and it appears to me that all of the waterfalls carry the same signature.

These examples shown here for Taughannock Falls in New York State on the left; Slap Sopot in Istria, a region shared between Croatia, Slovenia and Italy, in the middle; and in Davao in the Philippines on the right, just scratch the surface of one type of the many types of waterfalls there are available to find in different places around the world. 

As I looked at waterfalls all over the world, it seemed as if they had a selection of models of waterfalls to choose from, from small to large.

As we have seen throughout this post, there are three waterfalls at this location as well.

In addition to this one, there are two more waterfalls on Taughannock Creek in Taughannock Falls State Park – the Bikini Cascade and the Lower Taughannock Falls.

We are told that starting in the mid-1850s, Taughannock Falls became a tourist destination, with railroads, steamboats and hotels serving the region, like the Taughannock House Hotel.

By 1925, tourism was failing and the State of New York acquired the land to form a park that year, and that in the 1930s, the New Deal Works Progress Administration improved the roads and trails at the park.

The Black Diamond Trail is a rail-trail found at Taughannock Falls State Park that was once part of the Lehigh Valley Railroad route whose Black Diamond Express once ran between Buffalo and New York City.

Interesting to note that what became the Taughannock Falls State Park was noteworthy for the uncovering of the petrified body of a 7-foot, or over 2-meter, -tall man when workmen were widening a carriage road near the Taughannock House Hotel in July of 1879.

We are told that over 5,000 people paid a small admission fee to see the 800-pound, or 363-kilogram, giant, but that after a short time, it was revealed to be a hoax perpetrated by the hotel’s owner and two of his associates.

The original giant was said to be damaged and lost, but local artists constructed a replica for the Tompkins Center for History and Culture in 2019.

Ithaca is at the southern end of Cayuga Lake, approximately 11-miles, or 17-kilometers, to the southeast of Taughannock Falls State Park.

Ithaca is the home of Cornell University, an Ivy League research university founded in 1865, the same year the American Civil War ended…

…and Ithaca College, a private liberal arts college founded in 1892 as a conservatory of music, and particularly known for its media-related programs and entertainment programs.

In our historical narrative, European settlement of Ithaca began in 1800, and in the 19th-century, it became a transshipping point for things like salt and gypsum.

The town of Ithaca was organized and incorporated in 1821, and in 1834, the Ithaca and Owego Railroad’s first horse-drawn trains began service.

The Ithaca and Owego Railroad was reorganized as the Cayuga and Susquehanna Railroad in 1842.

In 1956, this railroad’s physical right-of-way was completely abandoned, and later incorporated into the South Hill Recreation Way in Ithaca.

Ithaca Falls is located in downtown Ithaca in a gorge on Fall Creek, and is 150-feet, or 46-meters, -high.

Falls Creek makes its way through the campus of Cornell University.

Beebe Lake and Triphammer Falls are some of its notable features.

Beebe Lake is a reservoir that we are told was on land that was once forested swamp, and needs to be dredged every ten years to keep it from returning to wetlands.

The Finger Lakes Region, especially around Seneca Lake and Cayuga lake, is an American Viticultural Area known for its grape-growing, and accounts for about 80% of New York State’s wine-production.

Heading east from Cayuga Lake, we next come to Owasco Lake, with the city of Auburn at the northern end, and Moravia and Montville Falls at the southern end.

Owasco Lake was a popular vacation spot for the wealthy in the late 19th-century and early 20th-centuries.

Railway service ran along the western side of the lake historically, and was integral to the tourism boom on Owasco Lake, and the railway connected to steamboat services that took people to different resorts around the lake.

The rail infrastructure that was once here is long-gone.

Auburn at the northern end of Owasco Lake was first settled by Europeans in 1793, and was incorporated as a village in 1815 and chartered as a city in 1848, and only a few miles from the Erie Canal, allowing local factories to inexpensively ship goods.

We are told the Southern Central Railroad completed a line through Auburn, financed by the Lehigh Valley Railroad, to carry anthracite coal from Athens, Pennsylvania to Fair Haven, where there were shipping wharves on Lake Ontario.

Anthracite coal was a primary energy source at the time.

In our historical narrative, the “Anthracite Region” in Pennsylvania was where the story of “where America was built” began.

Anthracite coal is the purest form of coal, and this region contains most of the world’s supply of anthracite coal.

Today, the Anthracite Region in northeastern Pennsylvania is considered one of the largest concentrations of disturbed terrain in the world, with billions of tons of debris found in the landscape of abandoned strip mines and this region has among the highest poverty and unemployment rates in the United States with job loss from the descrease in coal mining and the outmigration of people because of it.

I believe the beings behind the deliberately-caused cataclysm were shovel-ready to dig enough of the original infrastructure out of the ruined Earth so the infrastructure could be used and civilization restarted, which I think started in earnest in the mid-to-late 1700s and early 1800s.

They only used the pre-existing infrastructure until they found replacement fuel sources that could be monetized and controlled by them and when what remained of the original infrastructure was no longer useful to them, or inconvenient to their agenda, they had it destroyed, discontinued, or abandoned, typically in a very short time after it was said to have been constructed.

In the “Old World,” the power supply for the canal and rail-systems would have been the same free-energy generated by the Earth’s worldwide grid system, and in the “New World,” they had to use mule- or horse-power to be able to utilize the original infrastructure initially until they had replacement fuel sources in place to jump-start the systems until they could be upgraded to first electricity, then ultimately replaced by gasoline-powered vehicles.

The Auburn Prison was said to have been constructed between 1816 and 1817, and was the second prison in New York State.

In 1890, it was the site of the first execution by electric chair.

It was also the location of the development of what was called the “Auburn System.”

This was a correctional system in which prisoners were housed in solitary confinement in large rectangular buildings, and forced to participate in silence in penal labor.

The town of Moravia on the other end of Owasco Lake was the birthplace of President Millard Fillmore and the childhood home of John D. Rockefeller.

Millard Fillmore was the Vice-President in the administration of President Zachary Taylor.

General Zachary Taylor was a key figure in the Mexican-American War, which took place between 1846 and 1848, and was an invasion of Mexico after the United States annexed Texas in 1845, which Mexico had refused to recognize.

Taylor was elected president in 1848, and he died in July of 1850, allegedly after consuming copious amounts of raw fruit and iced milk at a July 4th fundraising event at the Washington Monument, became severely ill with a digestive ailment, and died several days later.

So Millard Fillmore became the 13th President of the United States in 1850.

Millard Fillmore was also the President who ordered Commodore Matthew Peary to Japan in 1853 to force the opening of Japanese ports to American trade by any means necessary.

John D. Rockefeller’s boyhood home was in Moravia, though it was said to have burned down in 1924.

The discovery of oil in Canada in 1858 in Ontario at Oil Springs near Petrolia close to Lake Huron was contemporaneous in time with the discovery of oil in the United States.

The petroleum industry in the United States began in earnest in 1859 when Edwin Drake found oil on a piece of leased-land near Titusville, in what is now called Oil Creek State Park.

For this reason, Titusville is called the Birthplace of the Oil Industry, and for a number of years this part of Pennsylvania was the leading oil-producing region in the world.

Samuel Kier had established America’s first oil refinery in Pittsburgh in 1854 for making lamp oil, just five-years before oil was “found” in Titusville.

So it certainly appears like the petroleum industry was developed in the 1850s in order to provide a replacement energy technology for the free energy technology of the original civilization.

Roughly a decade after the birth of the oil Industry at Titusville, in 1870, John D. Rockefeller, along with Henry Flagler, an American Industrialist and major developer in the state of Florida, founded the Standard Oil Company, an American oil producing, transporting, refining, and marketing company.

Oil was used in the form of kerosene throughout the country as a light source and heat source until the introduction of electricity, and as a fuel source for the automobile, with the first gas-powered automobile having been patented by Karl Benz in 1886.

John D. Rockefeller, Sr, who was born in 1839, was the progenitor of what became the very wealthy Rockefeller family.

Rockefeller’s wealth soared as kerosene and gasoline grew in importance.

At his peak, he controlled 90% of all oil.

As quickly as possible, a way was found to replace what remained of the free-energy system with their own coal- and oil-based system, and in the process make money hand over fist from the total control of the new system.

He was considered to be the wealthiest American of all time, as seen in this ranking by CNN Business.

Montville Falls and Decker Creek Falls are on private property to the northeast of Moravia, and Fillmore Glen has deep gorges and five waterfalls, and is located to the southeast of Moravia.

Invariably I am finding more waterfalls in a given location than what I was initially looking to find from the information I had available.

The Decker Creek and Montville Waterfalls are on private property on New York State Route 38, and the landowners do not currently allow access to go see the falls.

The Decker Creek Falls have a 9-foot, or almost 3-meter, cascade, and a 6-foot, or almost 2-meter, cascade, one right after the other.

The Montville Falls are on Dresserville Creek, and are 60-feet, or almost 19-meters, high.

Fillmore Glen State Park, located to the southeast of Moravia, has deep gorges, hiking trails, and five waterfalls.

It also has what we are told is a replica of President Millard Fillmore’s boyhood log cabin, as the park is approximately 5-miles, or 8-kilometers, from where he was born.

Also, in our official narrative, the trails and infrastructure of Fillmore Glen were created and enhanced by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s.

The Fillmore Glen State Park is just to the east of New York State Route 38 and just to the south of its junction with New York State Route 38A in Moravia, where they go around Owasco Lake – NY-38 on the west-side and NY-38A on the east side.

So, New York State Routes 38 and 38A intersect at Moravia.

New York State Route 38 is another North-South highway and starts at Owego near Pennsylvania at the southern end and at Sterling on the northern end, within 4-miles, or 6-kilometers, of Lake Ontario.

New York State Route 38A connects Moravia at the intersection with NY-38 and downtown Auburn at a junction with US-20 and NY-5.

NY-38A runs between Owasco Lake and Skanaeateles Lake.

Places of interest on or near NY-38A on this Google Maps screenshot in-between the two lakes are the Dutch Hollow Country Club; the Bahar Preserve and Carpenter’s Falls; the Bear Swamp State Park; the Frozen Ocean State Forest; the Owasco Bluffs Nature Preserve; and the Owasco Flats Preserve Access.

The Dutch Hollow Country Club, right in-between the two lakes, is an 18-hole public country club.

The Bahar Nature Preserve is on 53-acres, or 21-hectares, of hemlock trees and other northern hardwood trees that is part of a larger forest block of old-growth trees that fills the Bear Swamp Creek Gorge.

The Carpenter Falls State Unique Area is adjacent to the Bahar Nature Preserve.

The Carpenter Falls State Unique Area is described as a 37-acre, or 15-hectare, area for recreation and watershed protection.

There are four waterfalls here, and two of them are directly accessible – the Carpenter Falls and Angel Falls.

Carpenter Falls is a 90-foot, or 27-meter, high waterfall.

Angel Falls, also known as the Lower Carpenter Falls, cascade from a 62-foot, or 19-meter, drop.

The Bear Swamp State Forest is almost 4,000-acres, or 1,600-hectares, of forests and wetlands with trails and recreational opportunities.

The interestingly-named Frozen Ocean State Forest on NY-38A is said to have received its name because during the winter season, extremely cold winds sweep across the land, turning the woods into frozen forests.

Like Bear Swamp, Frozen Ocean has trails and numerous recreational oppportunities.

The Owasco Bluffs Nature Preserve is accessible by way of Rockefeller Road.

Rockefeller Road goes up the east-side of Owasco Lake at the junction of NY-38 and NY-38A, and connects again with NY-38A a little over half-way up the lakeshore.

The Owasco Bluffs Nature Preserve features forested bluffs overlooking wetlands, meadows and a rugged gorge, and some hiking trails.

The Owasco Flats Preserve Access is at the southern end of Owasco Lake off of NY-38 that is considered a floodplain and marshland with hiking, birding, fishing, and paddling opportunities.

From what I could find out in information about the Owasco Flats, the Lehigh Valley Railroad came through the area, and as a matter of fact, just up NY-38 is the location of the old Wyckoff Station, almost directly across from the Owasco Bluffs Nature Preserve on the other side of Owasco Lake.

The Wyckoff Station is an abandoned train stop on the Lehigh Valley Railroad that was converted to a boat house.

I will continue to bring forward examples of findings like these as I work my way through the different areas that I look at in this post, but I want to take my leave of the Finger Lakes Region as I head back up to the south shore of Lake Ontario.

Before I do that, I want to share some thoughts about the Finger Lakes, as I think there is something that has been quite hidden from us about them.

Given their long and narrow appearance, it’s not hard to visualize the Finger Lakes, and this whole region for that matter, as once having been giant tree roots.

Kawartha Lakes in Ontario on the other side of Lake Ontario have a very similar appearance to the Finger Lakes, which also has a major canal running through this region called the Trent-Severn Waterway.

The Trent-Severn Waterway is a 240-mile, or 386-kilometer, -long canal route that connects Lake Ontario at Trenton to Lake Huron’s Georgian Bay at Port Severn.

It has been called one of the finest, interconnected systems of navigation in the world

We are told that canal construction started in 1833 and it was completed by 1920, when the first complete transit of the waterway took place in July of that year.

I am taking time on this subject right now because I find this region to have a very intriguing appearance that I don’t believe is the result of glacial activity during the last ice age which we have been taught.

The issue is when and how what we see in our world came into existence – slowly and over geologic time vs. suddenly and catastrophically.

Academia supports Uniformitarianism without question as the only explanation for what we see in today’s world, but I believe there is plenty of evidence to support my working belief that what we see in our would today came into existence suddenly catastrophically, and not that long ago, both in what we would call the natural world and in all the things that don’t add up in our historical narrative.

Like for one example that we ahve been consistently seeing, why on Earth would yo go through all the effort of building railroad and streetcar lines, only to abandon and remove them a relatively short-time later?

This makes no sense!

Here is a comparison of the ridge-like appearance of the Appalachian Mountains with the ridge-like appearance of the root system of a large tree on the bottom right.

I had occasion to look at what is found along the same stretch of highway, U. S. Highway Route 219, between the boggy Black Moshannon State Park near State College, Pennsylvania, and the bogs at Cranberry Glades Botanical Area, near White Sulphur Springs in West Virginia when I was doing research last year for “On the Trail of Giants – in Appalachia and Beyond.”

Black Moshannon State Park is the home to the largest reconstituted bog in Pennsylvania, a wetland that accumulates peat as a deposit of dead plant materials, which contains carnivorous plants, orchids, and species typically found further north.

Cranberry Glades, protected in the “Cranberry Glades Botanical Area” area, are a cluster of five, separate boreal-type bogs in southwestern Pocahontas County in West Virginia, and like Black Moshannon State Park, species are found at both these locations that are typically further north.

That both of these boglands have species typically found further north may signify some kind of North-to-South movement of land, through this geographic region in the Appalachian Mountains.

Here is a comparison of the intriguing appearance of the landscape here as seen from Google Earth on the left, compared with photos of mud flows on the right.

US-219 upon which both of these places are located was said to follow what was known as the “Seneca Trail,” a network of trails of “unknown age” used by indigenous Americans for commerce, trading and communication.

The “Seneca Trail” ran through the Appalachian Valley from what was to become Upper New York State, and went well into Alabama, though they are described to us in our historical narrative strictly as “footpaths.”

What we are told is that by the time the land was settled by Europeans starting in the 18th-century, it was largely abandoned by its previous inhabitants.

There was an on-line article posted on the CNN website in 2019 about what was described as the finding of the root system of the world’s oldest forest of fossilized trees in an abandoned quarry in upper New York State near Cairo, New York.

The Finger Lakes region of New York State is in-between Buffalo to the west of it and Cairo to the East.

The team investigating the site after its discovery hypothesized that the forest was killed in a catastrophic flood, and dated the forest itself back to 385-million-years ago.

At this point from my past and present research, I believe it is highly likely that ancient giant trees and the root system emanating from them were an integral part of the Earth’s energy grid and leyline system.

The original rail-lines and canals would have been providing power for the free-energy system, and the original architecture and infrastructure would have provided the antiquitech to process and utilize the free energy throughout the worldwide system.

The Earth’s original free-energy grid system was based on exact and precise geometric alignments of cities and places.

The Controllers have worked very hard not only to remove gigantic trees from our awareness, but they have also removed the Earth’s grid system from our collective awareness.

I think the giant tree “roots,” are today’s highway “routes” and recreational trails, which has more to do with human energy being harvested from their use instead of infrastructure creating free-energy for the system to use for the benefit of all life everywhere.

Now I would like to turn my attention north of where we have been looking in the Finger Lakes Region back to Lake Ontario’s south shore, where we come to Sodus Bay east of the Rochester-area.

The places I have identified to look at are Sodus Bay; Chimney Bluffs State Park; the Sodus Point and Sodus Outer Lighthouses; Huron, the previously-mentioned northern terminus of NY-414; and Wolcott Falls.

First, Sodus Bay.

Sodus Bay is one of Lake Ontario’s largest embayments, and is separated from the lake by a 7,500-foot, or 2,286-meter, -long, barrier beach.

A barrier beach is defined as a long, low-lying strip of sand and dunes that runs parallel to the mainland, separated from it by a lagoon, marsh, or bay.

An embayment is defined as a recess in a coastline forming a bay.

The Lake Shore Marshes are Wildlife Management Areas that spread across this part of Lake Ontario, including the southern end of Sodus Bay.

The focus at these locations are wildlife and habitat management, and wildlife-dependent recreation.

The Chimney Bluffs State Park is in the northeast part of the Sodus Bay-area.

The Chimney Bluffs are described as dramatic rock formations that tower over Lake Ontario in a park with scenic woodland and beach trails, and their formation attributed to glacial sediment that was deposited and shaped by glaciers during the most recent ice age.

We are told that the area has been a landmark for many years, including during the Prohibition-era when smugglers used it as a landing point when transporting liquor from Canada.

The State of New York acquired the land in 1963.

A “bluff” is defined as a steep bank or cliff that is formed by a depositional process.

But another meaning of the word “bluff” is a deception, or an attempt to deceive, and it is my belief this is the definition in-play here as cover-up code word for the destruction of the original infrastructure by calling it instead the result of natural forces.

Chimney Bluffs brings to mind the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore on Lake Superior near Munising, Michigan.

The “Pictured Rocks” are described as dramatic, multicolored cliffs with unusual sandstone formations…

…that look suspiciously like ruined or melted infrastructure, like “Miners Castle Rock.”

Next at Sodus Bay I am going to look at the Sodus Point and Sodus Outer Lighthouses.

What we are told is that the original Sodus Point Lighthouse tower was constructed out of limestone in 1825, but that the lighthouse was first lit in 1871.

It was deactivated in 1901.

It is owned by the Village of Sodus Point and is a museum today.

The Sodus Outer Lighthouse is at the end of the westernmost of two piers that define the channel into Sodus Bay.

It was said to have been first established in 1858 with a wooden tower and that the wooden tower was replaced with the current cast-iron structure in 1938, which would have been during the Great Depression.

Like the Sodus Outer Lighthouse, I have consistently found lighthouses in the Great Lakes region and around the world as having alignments with what is going on in the heavens above, with the sun…

…the moon…

…and the Milky Way.

Huron is near Sodus Bay, the previously-mentioned northern terminus of NY-414.

The town of what became Huron was part of the Pulteney Association’s pruchase of a large portion of western New York in 1792 from the “Phelps and Gorham Purchase.”

The “Phelps and Gorham Purchase” took place in 1788, where the State of Massachusetts sold its “preemptive rights” to a large potion of western New York owned by the Seneca Nation also known as the “Genessee Tract” to a syndicate of land developers led by Oliver Phelps and Nathaniel Gorham.

What became the Town of Huron was created from the Town of Wolcott in 1826.

Wolcott was named after American Founding Father and the nineteenth Governor of Connecticut, Oliver Wolcott.

From what I was able to find, there was an iron ore bed in Wolcott that provided the ore for a blast furnace in Wolcott in the first half of the 1800s.

Wolcott Falls are located in the Wolcott Falls Park on Mill Street near the downtown area.

The falls are somewhere in the neighborhood of 50-feet, or 15-meters, -high.

Mill Street in Wolcott was historically significant because it was the location of a sawmill and gristmill complex powered by the waterfalls and a mill pond.

These locations are geographically-close to the previously-mentioned Fair Haven, where we are told the Southern Central Railroad had completed a line through Auburn, financed by the Lehigh Valley Railroad, to carry anthracite coal from Athens, Pennsylvania to Fair Haven, where there were shipping wharves on Lake Ontario.

Fair Haven is on Little Sodus Bay.

We are told that the sand bars on Little Sodus Bay were widened and protected by jetties in the middle of the 19th-century and improved the shipping capabilities here.

The original Fair Haven Range lighthouses were said to have been built in 1872 and torn down in 1945.

But the lighthouse keeper’s house still stands and is a private residence these days.

We are told the Southern Central Railroad served Fair Haven from 1872 until 1887, when it was absorbed by the Lehigh Valley Railroad.

Besides the shipment of anthracite coal from Athens, Pennsylvania, to Fair Haven, summer tourists arrived by rail from Auburn to enjoy the waterfront parks and beaches.

Eventually its use as a port waned and the rail service ended, but the State of New York acquired the land for the Fair Haven Beach State Park 1920s, and we are told the park was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s.

The park covers shoreline bluffs, sandy beaches, and adjoining forestlands, with recreational facilities…

…and an 18-hole golf course.

The next place we come to as we go up the southern shore of Lake Ontario is the Oswego-area.

Oswego promotes itself as “The Port City of Central New York.”

We are told that the first European settlement here was a British trading post in 1722 at what became Fort Oswego in 1727, but this fort was destroyed in 1756 during the French and Indian War.

Besides Fort Oswego, there were two more historic forts here – Fort Ontario and Fort George.

Fort Ontario is on the east-side of the Oswego River, and is preserved in the Fort Ontario State Historic Site, with the current fort said to have been built between 1839 and 1844.

There was said to be a fort at this location since 1755, but that it has been destroyed and rebuilt several times during wars throughout its history, including, but not limited to the French and Indian War and the War of 1812.

The historic location of Fort George on the west-side of the Oswego River is Montcalm Park.

Fort George was said to have been built in 1755 as an outwork of Fort Oswego, and that it was captured and destroyed along with Fort Oswego by French and Indians under the command of the Marquis de Montcalm in August of 1756, and never rebuilt.

The current Oswego West Pierhead Lighthouse was said to have been built in 1934, which was during the Great Depression, to replace an earlier lighthouse that had been constructed in 1880.

It is the only lighthouse of four in Oswego that is still-standing, and is still an active aid to navigation.

The Oswego Canal connected Lake Ontario at Oswego to the Erie Canal at Three Rivers, and first opened in 1828.

There are a total of seven locks on the Oswego Canal in its total distance of 23.7-miles, or 38.1-kilometers, in length.

Oswego was once a hub for several major railroads: the New York Central Railroad (NYC); the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad (DL & W); and the New York, Ontario, and Western Railway (O & W).

Today, there is only freight rail service through CSX on Oswego’s existing rail infrastructure.

The Oswego Speedway was said to have been established in 1951, and paved with asphalt in 1952, and that prior to that it was a horse-racing track.

The Oswego Speedway hosts events like NASCAR races, and is the last track in the world to utilize supermodifieds in its weekly programs.

Supermodified racing is for a class of race-cars built for short, paved tracks.

They are light-weight cars, with huge engines and large, adjustable wings to keep them grounded at high speeds.

The Oswego County Airport is located to the southeast of the Oswego Speedway in a linear relationship a relatively short-distance away, a relationship between racetracks and airports found in many places.

The Nine-Mile Point Nuclear Station is just 5-miles, or 8-kilometers, up the Lake Ontario shore from Oswego, in the town Scriba.

The Nine-Mile Point Nuclear Generating Station and the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant are at this location.

In the last part of this series on the Ontario-side of Lake Huron, I came across the Bruce Power Nuclear Plant near Kincardine and the Point Elgin Beach.

Interesting to find nuclear power plants right on the edge of water, and brings to mind my consistent research findings of nuclear plants in odd locations, including wetlands.

I tend to think nuclear energy was a pre-existing technology too, like everything else I have been talking about that we have always been told came about in modern times.

The next places I am going to take a look at moving up along the southern shore of Lake Ontario are the Selkirk/Salmon River Lighthouse and the Salmon River Falls.

First, the Selkirk/Salmon River Lighthouse.

The Selkirk Lighthouse is located at the mouth of the Salmon River near Pulaski, New York.

It was said to have been constructed in 1838 by local contractors.

It was originally deactivated in 1858, only 20-years after it was said to have been built, because even though commerce was booming when it was built, a planned canal wasn’t built and Selkirk faded in importance, and a lighthouse beacon was no longer justified.

Then in 1989, the Coast Guard installed a solar light in the lantern room, and it was reactivated as a Class II navigation aid.

The village of Pulaski is located on US Highway Route 11 and adjacent to Interstate 81.

This part of New York State lies in the Snowbelt, which is characterized by heavy, lake-effect snowfalls and long winters, typically between mid-November and mid-April.

Historically there were a lot of mills and factories in Pulaski, with an estimated 120 that came and went, from wood mills to iron works.

Just a few industrial companies remain today, including Fulton Companies, Healthway and Scholler Technical Paper.

These days, commerce in Pulaski revolves largely around fishing tourism with its location on the Salmon River.

The Salmon River is named for the salmon that return to the river each fall during the salmon run.

The Salmon River Falls are 15-miles, or 24-kilometers, from the entrance of the Salmon River on Lake Ontario in Orwell, New York.

The Salmon River Falls are 110-feet, or 34-meters, high.

There have been hydroelectric power facilities developed here, like with the Salmon River Reservoir, said to have been created in 1912, which diverts water from the falls through a 10,000-foot, or 3,048-meter, -long pipeline to the power station at Bennett’s Bridge marked by the red balloon.

The Deer Creek Marsh Wildlife Management Area is just to the north of the Salmon River.

The Deer Creek Marsh Wildlife Management Area is a combination of wetland bogs, and extensive barrier beach, and sand dune system.

Its focus is wildlife management, wildlife habitat management and wildlife-dependent recreation.

As I have said before, I suspect these wetlands, beaches and sand dunes to be ruined land from the cataclysmic event that took place with the destruction of the original energy grid.

As we head up the final stretch of the Lake Ontario shore, these are the places I would like to highlight: the Stony Point Lighthouse; the Galloo Island Lighthouse; the Horse Island Lighthouse; Talcott Falls; the city of Watertown; and the East Charity Shoal, Tibbetts Point and Cape Vincent Breakwater Lighthouses at the entrance of the St. Lawrence Waterway on the New York-side, where I will be ending this post.

First, the Stony Point Lighthouse.

This particular lighthouse was said to have been constructed sometime around 1869.

Today it is privately-owned and not open to the public, and the light is still maintained by the U. S. Coast Guard.

Stony Point is named for rocky ledges that extend from the point for some distance.

The current Galloo Island Lighthouse was said to have been constructed sometime between 1820 and 1866, and first lit in 1867.

The lighthouse tower was constructed out of gray limestone with a brick-lining.

The Galloo Island lighthouse is part of a larger privately-owned property, however the U. S. Coast Guard has an easement to maintain an active light in the tower and small station.

The original Horse Island Lighthouse, also known as the Sacketts Harbor Lighthouse, was said to have been constructed in 1831 out of limestone and brick, and we are told today’s structure was built between 1870 and 1871.

We are told that during the War of 1812, the British used Horse Island as a staging area before the Battle of Sackett’s Harbor, in which the British wanted to capture the town of Sackett’s Harbor, which was the main dockyard for the American Naval Squadron on Lake Ontario.

According to our historical narrative, the British were defeated by American forces, though American warships and naval stores were damaged.

Fort Tompkin at Sackett’s Harbor was said to have been built in 1812 and Fort Pike in 1813 to defend the crucial shipbuilding here at the naval base.

The Sackett’s Harbor Battlefield State Historic Site commemorates the history of this location as the center of American naval and military activity for the Upper St. Lawrence Valley and Lake Ontario during the War of 1812.

Next, I am going to head over to Talcott Falls and the city of Watertown.

Talcott Falls is just off of New York State Route 11, in Adams, a short distance south of Watertown.

There was an historic sawmill in Adams at one time, like so many places we have seen along the way.

The falls are on private land, but viewable from within the highway right-of-way.

The Talcott Falls are 35-feet, or 11-meters, – high.

They are on Stony Creek which is a tributary of the Black River.

Watertown is approximately 25-miles, or 40-kilometers, south of the Thousand Islands on the Black River about 5-miles, or 8-kilometers, east of where it flows into Lake Ontario.

We are told that Watertown was first surveyed in 1795 and that it was settled in 1800 due to the abundant hydropower the Black River provided, like the Great Falls in Watertown.

Also known as the Watertown Falls, you can get there by way of Mill Street from Public Square at the intersection with Main Street.

Again like in all the other places we have seen with waterfalls in the 19th-century, Watertown was no exception to having had numerous mills at these locations, to include but not limited to, grist mills and paper mills.

It boomed for many years as an industrial center for upstate New York.

The Paddock Arcade is described as a 19th-century shopping mall in Watertown that was built in 1850 in the Gothic and Italianate-style, and is the oldest continously-operating indoor shopping mall in the United States.

The Roswell P. Flower Memorial Library in Watertown was said to have been built in 1903 and 1904, and opened on January 4th of 1905, and donated as a memorial to the the 30th Governor of New York by his daughter.

Thompson Park is on a hill on the southeastern-side of Watertown.

Thompson Park was said to be an Olmsted creation, and in this case, Frederick Law Olmsted’s nephew and adopted son, John Olmsted, and donated to the city by the industrialist John C. Thompson in 1899.

It features things like a golf course…

…a zoo…

…stone pavilions and stone stairways…

…and the Thompson Park Vortex, in-between the golf course and the zoo..

The Thompson Park Vortex is said to be a time vortex that has transported people to another part of the park, or caused them to disappear and reappear later, or where apparitions have been seen or unexplained noises heard.

A viewer sent me this information about Thompson Park awhile back and photos of the stonework around the hill.

She wrote: Around 2009 when I heard about about ley lines I wondered if maybe I lived near one. I googled nearest ley line and found that Thompson park was built on a ley line. This is in Watertown, New York which is very close.. Watertown had more millionaires living there at beginning of the 19th century than any city in the country. The Dulles Brothers: John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles were born and raised in this area. 

Thompson Park is built on a very high hill and is was considered the most haunted area in the world at one time. A vortex of some sort has had people disappear and then reappear after a few weeks thinking they had only been gone a few hours. This occurred in the late 1800’s I believe. I have always thought there was so much more that was there…. like a magnificent castle or something…. The entrance to and the exit from of the park is just to elaborate to have been only a park. The stone pillars pretty much surround the the exit and surround the hill. The little stone houses they say were latrines. The stone work is unreal…. the steps at the entrance ascend to an area which seems to be missing the roof of a building no longer there…remnants of something divine everywhere. Walking around the base of the park, you can hear water flowing inside the hill…. very fascinating. 

Next, the Watertown International Airport is to the west of the city, and to the north and northeast of the city, there are several raceways and speedways; Fort Drum, and the 10th Combat Aviation Brigade.

Rt. 342 Karts and More is a recreation site with go-karts and mini-golf.

The Evans Mills Raceway is an asphalt oval raceway located on US Route 11 that hosts auto racing on Saturday nights throughout the summer.

The Can-Am Speedway is a dirt, oval raceway in LaFargeville, New York, on New York State Route 411 near the entrance to the St. Lawrence Waterway and the Thousand Islands, and draws competitors and fans from both sides of the border.

The Can-Am Speedway offers auto racing every Friday night throughout the summer season.

Fort Drum and the 10th Combat Aviation Brigade and its airfield are just to the east of the location of Rt. 342 Karts and Evans Mills Raceway racing tracks.

Fort Drum is a United States Army military installation and home to the 10th Mountain Light Infantry Division.

The testing of Agent Orange began on more than 1,000-acres, or 405-hectares, of what was then Camp Drum in 1959.

Several communities, including Fort Drum, near Agent Orange manufacturing and storage sites continue to report dioxin levels above recommended safety standards.

The last places I would like to take a look at here on this side of Lake Ontario are the lighthouses at the mouth of the St. Lawrence Waterway just a short-distance from Watertown – the East Charity Shoal Lighthouse; the Tibbetts Point Lighthouse; and the Cape Vincent Breakwater Lighthouse.

The East Charity Shoal Lighthouse is off-shore near the St. Lawrence Waterway’s entrance to Lake Ontario, south of the city of Kingston in Ontario, and southwest of Wolfe Island, the largest of the Thousand Islands located at the entrance to the waterway.

It is located in Jefferson County, New York, near the border with Canada.

The tower of the lighthouse was said to have been constructed in 1877 from recast cannon after the Battle of Fort Sumter, which would have been the first battle of the American Civil War fought in April of 1861, for the Vermilion Light Station in Ohio on the shores of Lake Erie, but we are told that it was removed after it was damaged in an ice storm, and that a replica of the tower was installed at Vermilion in 1991.

The construction of the concrete pier for what became the East Charity Shoal Lighthouse was said to have taken place in 1934, and the tower installed in 1935, which would have been during the Great Depression.

The Tibbetts Point Lighthouse stands at the entrance of the St. Lawrence Waterway in Cape Vincent, New York, and was said to have been constructed in 1854.

It uses the only classic fresnel lens still in operation on Lake Ontario.

Only 70 such lenses are still operational in the United States, with 16 of them being on the Great Lakes.

The Tibbetts Point Lighthouse is on the previously-mentioned Great Lakes Seaway Trail, like the Charlotte-Genessee Lighthouse in the Rochester-area, a National Scenic Byway of roads and highways that runs for 518-miles, or 834-kilometers, along Lake Erie, the Niagara River, Lake Ontario, and the St. Lawrence River.

Lastly, the Cape Vincent Breakwater Lighthouse.

There is a Cape Vincent Breakwater Lighthouse today at the Town Highway Department on New York State Route 12E.

Historically, there were two lighthouses on the breakwater protecting the town of Cape Vincent.

This is a 1911 photo of the breakwater lighthouses.

The breakwater in the foreground is parallel to the railroad wharf in the background.

The breakwater and those lighthouses were said to have been constructed in the time period between 1899 and 1904, and removed from the breakwater in 1951 and replaced with skeletal steel structures.

The one Cape Vincent Breakwater lighthouse landed on New York State Route 12E and the other became a local man’s children’s playhouse before it was demolished after falling into disrepair.

I am going to end this post here, and in “North America’s Great Lakes – Part 6 Lake Ontario from St. Catharine’s up through the St. Lawrence Waterway in Ontario,” I will follow the Lake Ontario shoreline west and northeast from St. Catharine’s, which is just to the west of the Niagara River on the Ontario-side to Kingston at the entrance to the St. Lawrence waterway, and go up the St. Lawrence Seaway and “Thousand Islands” and head towards Montreal in the Province of Quebec.
