The subject of “The Disappearance of Railways, Trolley Parks, and Roundhouses” “is a vast one, and as we will see in this post, has many interconnected elements, like, for example, how closely associated all of this infrastructure was associated with airports, racetracks, breweries and waterfalls, to name just a few things of many.

I believe that all of this infrastructure was part of the original energy grid, which was deliberately destroyed, and that after enough of the original infrastructure was recovered and brought into working order, and replacement energy sources developed, like coal and gasoline, the infrastructure was only used for as long as it was needed by the Controllers for their agenda, and then removed, repurposed, destroyed or abandoned when it was no longer needed.

I have been researching deeply into my hypothesis that all of the original infrastructure we see on Earth was part of a perfectly-tuned scientific and musical instrument that was laid out geometrically as a circuit board, and wanted to share my findings to support this hypothesis in this post.

I have wondered about a connection between athletic fields to the Earth’s original energy grid system ever since finding several years back that there was a ball-field sandwiched between a star fort in called Fort Negley and the railroad yards in Nashville.

I also consistently find ellipses, and the other varied shapes of sporting venues, near railways and airports, and believe them all to have been circuitry on the Earth’s electro-magnetic grid system.

Like the Montreal Hippodrome in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

It was located 8-miles, or 13-kilometers from the Montreal-Pierre Trudeau-International Airport.

The location of the historical Montreal Hippodrome appears to be situated at a similar angle to the major international airports as seen in Shepherd’s Bush neighborhood in West London and the Sulphur Springs neighborhood in Tampa shown, where both places had had elliptical-shaped race-tracks in their vicinities.

Also known as the Blue Bonnets Raceway, a thoroughbred horseracing track and casino, the Montreal Hippodrome was permanently closed in October of 2009 after 137 years of operation, and the abandoned site was demolished starting in 2018.

The Hippodrome was located right next to the Canadian Pacific St. Luc Railyards, and it’s interesting to note this array of elliptical shapes on the race track grounds between the main ellipse and the railyards.

It is also interesting to note that the roundhouse at the St. Luc Railyards was said to have been completed in 1950…

…and by 2003, it was reduced to 4 or 5 stalls.

Why was a beautiful structure like this deconstructed after only a half-century of use?

The appearance of the historical St. Luc Roundhouse reminded me of depictions I have seen of the ancient harbor of Carthage in Tunisia, called a cothon, meaning an artificial, protected harbor.

This is a 2017 photo of the former grand 37-stall roundhouse, considered a shining example of the Canadian Pacific Railway when it was built.

Studies and planning have been done to re-develop the hippodrome site into social housing units.

In Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport on Toronto Island has a track located northeast of it in a line that crosses through the real estate containing the CN Tower, Rogers Center, and Roundhouse Park and downtown Toronto.

The CN, or Canadian National, Tower is 1,815-feet, or 553-meters, high, a communications and observation tower located on what is known as Railway Lands, a large railway switching yard on the Toronto Waterfront, and said to have been completed in 1976.

Toronto’s Union Station is just to the east of the CN Tower in the Railway Lands.

The Union Station in Toronto was said to have been constructed in the Beaux-Arts-style in 1927, and is considered Canada’s largest and most opulent railway station.

The Toronto Union Station reminds me of the original Pennsylvania Station in New York City, which was said to have been built between 1904 and 1910 and demolished between 1963 and 1968.

Roundhouse Park next to the CN Tower was the location of the John Street Roundhouse, said to have been built in 1929 to maintain Canadian Pacific Railway trains during the Golden Age of Railways, where maintenance teams worked on as many as 32 trains at a time.

The Roundhouse is the last such building in Toronto, and survived the demolition of other railway facilities nearby that took place to make room for the new stadium, the Rogers Center, which opened in June of 1989.

The Rogers Center is the home of Major League Baseball’s Toronto Blue Jays, as well as being a large-event venue.

Now I am going to head in the direction of a Toronto neighborhood known as The Beach, or The Beaches, where there were several historical amusement parks.

It is considered part of the old city of Toronto.

I found that the only pictorially documented amusement park here was the Scarboro Beach Park, which was in operation from 1907 until 1925, when apparently the owner of the park, the Toronto Railway Company, locked the gates to the property.

Eventually the Scarboro Beach Park property was sold to a company which removed the rides and buildings, and replaced the land with housing.

The Victoria Park Amusement Park, said to have been in operation from 1878 to 1906, would have been right about where the “x” is, at the intersection of Queen Street and Victoria Park Avenue, right next to the RC Harris Water Treatment Plant.

This megalithic stone wall runs parallel to Queen Street at the front-boundary of the complex…

…with the Neville Street Loop for the Queen Street streetcar line, the eastern terminus of Toronto’s longest streetcar route, just off the northwest corner of the RC Harris complex.

Here is what we are told about the RC Harris Water Treatment Plant.

Its construction started in 1932, and the building became operational on November 1st of 1941 (during World War II, and a little over a month before the bombing of Pearl Harbor).

It was named after the long-time Commissioner of Toronto’s Public Works, RC Harris, overseer of the construction project.

Barrie is 56-miles, or 90-kilometers, north of Toronto, and part of what is called the “Greater Golden Horseshoe,” which is an extended urban area of southern Ontario between Lake Huron’s Georgian Bay; Lake Ontario; and Lake Erie.

This region is the most densely-populated, and most industrialized, in Canada.

A few of the many things from Barrie’s history to mention was the establishment in 1860 of the Anderton Brewery by the Anderton Brothers James and Joseph.

It was the largest employer in Barrie for years.

We are told that a line of the Northern Railway was opened in Barrie in 1853, and it connected Barrie with Toronto, and other municipalities in Simcoe County and Muskoka.

The Hamilton and North-Western Railway also ran through Barrie, and in June of 1879, these two railways organized into the Northern and North Western Railway.

Then the Grand Trunk Railway purchased the original Northern Railway, and the line serving Barrie became a branch of the Canadian National Railway.

We are told that a roundhouse was built to service steam locomotives in Allandale in 1904, an historic neighborhood that was annexed to Barrie in 1896.

The Allandale Roundhouse was demolished and most of the turntable removed by the 1980s.

Today, the location of the former roundhouse is Barrie’s Military Heritage Park.

Nipigon in the Thunder Bay District of Northwestern Ontario is the northernmost community on the Great Lakes.

We are told the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks were completed across the North Shore of Lake Superior in 1885, and that starting around 1910, the Canadian Northern Railway was built through the town, and opened for passenger service in 1915.

By 2005, all railroad traffic on the Canadian Northern Railway through town had ended, and the rails were removed in 2010.

We are told the Nipigon River Bridge for the Trans-Canada Highway was built in 1937.

It is considered the most important bridge in Canada because it is the only crossing for east-west traffic in the region for the flow of goods, people, and trains between eastern and western Canada.

It carries both the Trans-Canada Highway, and both the Canadian Pacific and Canadian National Railways.

Next in the United States, I am going to take a look at St. Louis, Missouri.

There was an electric streetcar system in St. Louis that ran from the mid-1800s through the early 1960s, starting with horse-drawn streetcars in the late 1850s.

This is a map depicting the streetcar lines in St. Louis by 1884…

…with the first cable-driven streetcars in 1886, and the first electrified streetcars came to St. Louis in 1889.

The Forest Park Highlands Amusement Resort opened in St. Louis in 1896…

…and was on a trolley line.

On July 19th of 1963, all of the Forest Park Highlands Amusement Park was destroyed by fire except for the swimming pool and the frame of the roller coaster.

With regards to streetcars, starting in the early 1930s through the 1960s, the St. Louis Public Service ended all streetcar service, as well as other regional streetcar operators.

The last day of St. Louis streetcar operation was May 21st of 1966.

The Anheuser-Busch Brewing Company is headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri.

This is a post card of it from the 1930s.

Today the company employs over 30,000 people, and operates twelve breweries in the United States.

It was founded as the Bavarian Brewery in 1852 by George Schneider, but financial problems forced him to sell the brewery to various owners during the late 1850s, one of which Eberhard Anheuser, a prosperous soap and candle-maker.

The name of the brewery became E. Anheuser & Company in 1860.

A wholesaler who had immigrated from Germany to St. Louis in 1857, Adolphus Busch, became Eberhard Anheuser’s son-in-law in 1861.

Soon he became a partner, and served as company secretary until his father-in-law died in 1880, at which time he became president of the business.

During the 1870s, Adolphus Busch had toured Europe to study changes in brewing methods at the time. In particular he was interested in the pilsner beer of the town of Budweis, located in what is now the Czech Republic.

In 1876, he introduced Budweiser…

…and 1876 was the same year he introduced refrigerated railroad cars to transport beer.

By 1877, the company owned a fleet of 40 refrigerated railroad cars.

Busch implemented pasteurization in 1878 as a way to keep beer fresh for a longer period of time.

He established the St. Louis Refrigerator Car Company in 1878, and by 1888, the company owned 850 cars.

He also founded the Manufacturers Railway Company in 1887, which operated until 2011.

Adolphus Busch died in 1913.

A text-book case of how to accumulate immense wealth, his net worth was $60 million in US dollars at the time of his death.

The Busch Entertainment Corporation, which was founded in 1959, became SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment in 2009 with its sale to the Blackstone Group, an American multinational private equity, asset management, and financial services firm based in New York City.

The St. Louis Union Station was said to have been built between 1892 and 1894, the year it first opened as the largest train station in the world

These days the former St. Louis Union Station is a multi-use complex with restaurants, retail stores, a hotel, and the St. Louis Aquarium.

The only remnants of the former roundhouse in East St. Louis located east of the I-70 Mississippi River Crossing are concrete foundations where you can still see the pits where locomotives were once serviced.

There appears to be a geometric relationship between the Union Stations in St. Louis, Louisville, Kentucky; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Indianapolis, Indiana.

I calculated the distance between them using address-to-address, and the distances between the legs of the triangles between these four major cities with Union Stations are still remarkably close to each other in a geometric configuration, considering what we have been led to believe in our historical narrative was seemingly random settlement and construction.

The Louisville Union Station was said to have first opened in 1891.

Today, the historic Union Station is used for the administration of the Transit Authority of River City.

The building is open to the public on weekdays, and there is a market area with a coffee shop and exhibits on the history of public transit in Louisville.

Cincinnati’s Union Station is a wonder to behold, with the largest half-dome in the western hemisphere, and at one time it was the largest half-dome in the world.

It was said to have been built starting in 1930, and opening in 1933, which would have been during the Great Depression.

Today the Cincinnati Union Station houses three museums; an OMNIMAX Theater; the Cincinnati History Library and Archives; and it still provides reduced passenger rail service for Amtrak’s Cardinal Line.

The Indianapolis Union Station was said to have first opened in 1853, and that today’s Richardsonian Romanesque building was built in the same location between 1886 and its opening in 1888.

Today, the Indianapolis Union Station houses a Crowne Plaza Hotel and Conference Center; the Mexican Consulate; and like the Cincinnati Union Station, still provides reduced passenger rail service for Amtrak’s Cardinal Line.

Here is the Indianapolis Union Station on the left compared with the Louisville Union Station in Kentucky on the right.

Why do they look like cathedrals?

Broad Ripple Village is one of Indianapolis’ seven-designated cultural districts.

Established in 1837, today it is best-known for being a socially, economically, and ethnically-diverse neighborhood, filled with art galleries; specialty shops; restaurants; and night clubs.

I am very interested in Broad Ripple’s location on a U-shaped bend, known as an “oxbow” of what is known as the White River; its connection to the Central Canal; its connection to the railroad; and the trolley line and amusement park in its history.

We are taught these river shapes are natural occurrences…

…but these exact same river shapes are found all over the world…including, but far from being limited to, London on the River Thames.

The Central Canal was said to have been constructed in Indianapolis starting in 1836, and that water was first drawn into the Central Canal by the feeder dam on the White River in Broad Ripple starting in 1839.

So on the one-hand, we are taught that life in America in the 1830s was largely rustic and full of social ills in need of reform…

…and on the other hand, we are told the North American Canal Age of canal-building was dated from 1790 to 1855.

Same thing with the construction of railroads starting in the same period, and simultaneously the railroads were already making the canals they were constructing obsolete according to the historical narrative.

Only eight-miles of the Central Canal within Indianapolis were completed, starting at Broad Ripple.

We are told it was originally intended to connect the Wabash and Erie Canal with the Ohio River…

…but construction was said to have stopped in 1839 because of financial difficulties due to the Panic of 1837, which was said to have touched off a major depression which lasted until the mid-1840s.

This is a view of the Central Canal, with cut-and-shaped large stones, and the Monon railroad bridge crossing over it, on the left, and on the right is a photo for comparison of an ancient megalithic stone wall in Delphi, Greece.

The Monon Trail used to be the Monon rail-line between Indianapolis and Delphi, Indiana, that was abandoned in 1987, and which was part of a larger rail-line that connected Chicago and Indianapolis.

Broad Ripple was a summertime retreat for Indianapolis from 1890 to 1930.

The organizers of the Broad Ripple Transit Company in 1894, what was called the first electric interurban railway to be constructed and put in operation in the United States, created the White City of Indianapolis Company in 1905, with the stated goal of developing an amusement park at the end of the Broad Ripple Transit Company’s College Line.

The White City Amusement Park, said to have been named in honor of Chicago’s 1893 Columbian Exposition, which was also known as the White City, opened officially on May 26th of 1906.

The 4-acre pool was scheduled to open to the public on June 27th of 1908, but on June 26th, 2 years and a month to the day after it opened, nearly the whole amusement park was burned to the ground, allegedly taking less than 10-minutes to engulf the park.

The pool, however, remained unscathed by the fire.

The Union Traction Company purchased the park in 1911, and continued on as the Broad Ripple Amusement park until around 1945…

…and the location was Broad Ripple City Park today.

Next, I am going to take a look at Kansas City, Missouri, which is located almost exactly mid-way between Minneapolis, Minnesota, which is 412-miles, or 662-kilometers northeast of Kansas City, and Dallas, Texas, which is 454-miles, or 731-kilometers, southwest of Kansas City, keeping in mind that Kansas City is split between the states of Kansas and Missouri.

Kansas City in Missouri has an area called West Bottoms, that is always hit harder when it floods in Kansas City than other parts of the city.

And no wonder, considering that West Bottoms is located on land that is situated between the confluence of the Missouri and Kansas Rivers, and was also the original Central Industrial District of Kansas City, and is one of the oldest areas of the city.

The first Hannibal Bridge, the oldest bridge crossing the Missouri River, was said to have been completed in 1869, after its construction started in 1867, just two-years after the end of the American Civil War, and was the first permanent rail crossing of the Missouri River.

It established Kansas City as a major city and rail center.

Soon after the Hannibal Bridge opened, it carried eight railroads shipping freight to major trade centers in the east, like St. Louis, Chicago, and New York.

This is a historical map of what was called the “Natural Port of Kansas City,” with the West Bottoms District highlighted in blue, and the freight houses of 12 different railroads are listed by number in the red square on the left-hand-side, and the locations by number of each freight house in the red square that is contained completely within the West Bottoms District.

The first Kansas City Union Depot opened in 1878, and said to be the largest building west of New York of the time, and located near the stockyards.

The first Union Depot train station was razed to the ground in 1915, after only 32-years of use, after the Kansas City’s second main train station, Union Station opened in 1914, the same year that World War I began.

The New Union Station is still in use by Amtrak as a train station today, in addition to housing museums, theaters, restaurants and shops.

Also in Kansas City, Missouri, Electric Park was the name of two amusement parks said to have been built by the Heim Brothers Ferdinand Jr, Joseph, and Michael.

As brewers, they followed in the footsteps of their father, Ferdinand Sr.

He was said to have come to the United States from Austria in 1854, and he started brewery operations in Manchester, Missouri between 1857 and 1862, and in East St. Louis, Illinois in from 1870 to 1879.

Father and sons jointly purchased the Star Ale Brewery of the East Bottoms in Kansas City in 1884.

The first Electric Park was said to have been built right next to the brewery in the East Bottoms after the Heim Brothers built a streetcar line to it, and they wanted a way to attract visitors to the streetcar line and to the brewery.

Open from 1899 to 1906, the first Electric Park was an immediate success as one of the world’s first full-time amusement parks.

Among other things, Beer was piped directly from the brewery to the beer garden in the park.

Soon the success of Kansas City’s Electric Park, we are told, necessitated a larger location.

So, the second electric park opened in 1907.

Also on a trolley line, it was said to be the largest to be called Electric Park in the United States.

It opened in 1907.

Most of this grand park, which was said to have inspired young Walt Disney to build his own version of it, burned to the ground in 1925.

The Electric Park in Detroit, Michigan, was in operation between 1906 and 1928.

It was located on East Jefferson Drive in Detroit, adjacent to the bridge to Belle Isle.

Originally a trolley park, the Electric Park in Detroit was at the end of three trolley lines, but we are told public transportation shifted to buses by the 1920s as trolleys were already becoming obsolete.

The 1920s saw legal battles not only over the ownership of the park, but also challenging its existence.

In 1927, the city of Detroit condemned many of the park’s structures as a blight, closing the park permanently. Detroit’s Electric Park was levelled the following year, and became a new public park.

I found this list of over 30 more Electric Parks alone all over the United States. They were constructed as trolley parks and were owned primarily by electric companies and streetcar companies. This does not come even close to listing all of the trolley parks in the United States at one time.

Souvenirs from the Kansas City Electric Park, like this one from 1913, touted it as Kansas City’s Coney Island.

There were three historic trolley amusement parks on Coney Island in the New York City Borough of Brooklyn, located right next to each other – Steeplechase Park, Luna Park and Dreamland – and the Brighton Beach Race Course was located to the east of the three trolley parks.

This is what we are told about the historic trolley amusement parks of Brooklyn’s Coney Island.

First, Steeplechase Park.

We are told that Steeplechase Park was created by entrepreneur George Tilyou in 1897.

The park included at one time over 50 attractions on its midway alone.

The main trolley line that served Steeplechase Park was the Prospect Park and Coney Island Line along Gravesend Avenue, which started as a steam railroad in 1875; was converted to an electric trolley car line in 1899; and trolley service ended in Brooklyn in 1956

George Tilyou died in 1914, and Steeplechase Park remained in the Tilyou family until its closure in 1964, and over the years started to go into decline at different times for different reasons, but especially so with the onset of the Great Depression, which started in 1929 and resulted in a significant decline in park attendance.

The land of the former amusement park today is Maimonades Park, the location of a minor league baseball stadium.

Next, Luna Park on Coney Island opened in 1903.

It was said to have replaced Sea Lion Park that was operated by a man named Paul Boyton between 1895 and 1902, the first enclosed and permanent amusement park in North America.

We are told that Luna Park’s architectural style was an oriental theme, with over 1,000 red and white painted spires, minarets, and domes on buildings constructed on a grand scale, though Moorish architecture comes to mind when I see this historic post card!

All the domes, spires, and towers were lit-up at night with several 100,000s of incandescent lights.

Luna Park was accessible from Culver Depot, the terminals of the West End and Sea Beach Streetcar and Railroad lines.

Over the years, Luna Park would continue under different management, with constant changes.

The end of Luna Park came with two fires in 1944, one in August and one in October, which destroyed the park, and in 1946, the whole park was demolished.

There has been a Luna Park operating near the original location since 2010 that has no connection to the 1903 park.

Dreamland was the third and last of the three original parks said to have been built on Coney Island in the early 20th-century.

Dreamland was said to have been founded by successful Brooklyn real estate developer and former State Senator William H. Reynolds as a refined and elegant competitor to the chaotic noise of Luna Park, and opened in May of 1904.

The location of Dreamland was near the West Eighth Street subway station opposite Culver Depot.

Everything at Dreamland was touted to be bigger than Luna Park, including the larger Electric Tower, and four times as many incandescent lights than Luna Park.

Dreamland’s life on Coney Island was ended only 7-years after opening.

On May 27th of 1911, a fire started at the Hell Gate attraction the night before the season’s opening day, and spread quickly, completely destroying the park by morning.

The Brighton Beach Race Course was an American thoroughbred horseracing facility shown here opened on June 28th of 1879.

It was instantly successful and drew wealthy patrons from New York City.

The track prospered in 1908, when the New York State Legislature passed the Hart-Agnew Law, banning gambling.

The Brighton Beach Race Track was eventually torn down, and by the 1920s, replaced by residential housing.

The next places I am going to take a look at are in Ohio.

First, the Willow Beach Trolley Park in Toledo was located in the railyards slightly south of the Toledo Speedway Racetrack, where Cullen Park is today.

The Willow Beach Trolley Park, which opened in 1929, was a haven for food, games, gambling, rides and entertainment at what was known as Point Place at the time, and permanently closed in 1947.

There was an historic trolley amusement park just a short ways up the coast of Lake Erie from Toledo in Ohio, called Toledo Beach.

Trolley amusement parks were typically located at the end of streetcar lines.

It was located where the Toledo Beach Marina is today.

Another place with a trolley park was in Chippewa Lake, a town in Ohio at the end of a trolley-line that came from Cleveland.

It operated for 100-years, from 1878 to 1978, after which time it was abandoned, with many of the original rides left to deteriorate in place.

The Chippewa Park Dance Hall burned-down in June of 2002.

Next, there is an abandoned Interurban Bridge on the Maumee River in Waterville, Ohio.

It was part of the Lake Shore Line that went to Cleveland.

It was an historic, concrete, multi-arch bridge, that was said to have been built in 1908 to connect Lucas and Wood counties across the Maumee river.

We are told that at the time of its construction, and for some time thereafter, it was the world’s largest earth-filled, reinforced concrete bridge.

Interurbans were a type of electric railway with self-propelled rail-cars running between cities or towns in North America and Europe.

They were prevalent in North America starting in 1900, and by 1915, interurban railways in the United States were operating along, 15,500-miles, or 24,900-kilometers of track.

It was seen, however, as far more convenient, and cost-efficient to carry cargo by way of truck and other automobiles.

By 1930, most of the interurbans were gone, with a few surviving into the 1950s.

And by 1937, the Interurban bridge across the Maumee River has sat unused to this day.

We are told when the Federal Highway Act was passed in 1916, it marked the beginning of the end of the Interurban systems.

With the construction of paved highways and the mass production of automobiles, we are told that electric rail service decreased in popularity.

Today’s commuter rail lines pale in comparison to the interurban lines of the past, with electric streetcars going from city-to-city, like the Spokane and Inland Empire Railroad , which extended from Spokane and Colfax in western Washington, into cities in northern and central Idaho.

The Spokane and Inland Empire Railroad Interurban line was folded into the Great Northern Railway in 1929, and as time went on, there was a conversion to bus service ending this interurban, electric rail service for all intents-and-purposes in 1936.

And this fate of these interurban electrified streetcar systems was repeated everywhere.

I even found what was called a “Frequency Changing Station” when I was looking into the Spokane and Inland Empire Railroad. 

It was said to have been built for this railroad in 1908 to house electrical equipment used by the electric railway, and its power was generated at the Nine Mile Falls Dam and transmitted to the “Frequency Changing Station.”  

There were four motor-generator sets at this location, and all together ten transformers – three that were 75-Kilowatt; three 375-kilowatt; and four 1,250-kilowatt – as well as a 550-volt, 275-cell storage battery.

Within the city of Spokane itself, the station provided direct current to the streetcar network.

In the network outside of Spokane, the station provided alternating current to the streetcar network through a series of electrical substations spaced about 15-miles, or 24-kilometers, on the operating line.

The substations converted power back to direct current for the streetcars, and sold power to the communities at 110 AC.

All of this electrical equipment was removed in 1939 when the railroad property was sold by its owner, and since then, the main building was repurposed storage for a boat dealership in the 1970s, and then the building was renovated starting in 1978, and was turned into condominium units, and the meaning and application of its former advanced technology has been forever lost to time.

Today several rails-to trails incorporate the Spokane and Inland Empire’s right-of-way, like the Spokane River Centennial Trail, which runs between Spokane and Coeur d’Alene in Idaho…

…and the Ben Burr Trail in Spokane.

The Northern Pacific Railway first brought settlers to the Spokane area in 1881.

The Northern Pacific Depot in Spokane pictured here was said to have been built in 1890, after the Great Fire of 1889.

The 1889 Great Fire of Spokane was a major fire in August of that year which affected downtown Spokane, destroying the downtown commercial district of the city.

Some of the things that we are told about it was that due to a technical problem with the pump station, there was no water pressure in the city when the fire began, and that firefighters demolished buildings with dynamite in a desparate bid to starve the fire.

Officially opening in 1978, Riverfront Park in Spokane is said to be located on the site of a former railyard.

Attractions include the Great Northern Clocktower.

The Clocktower is all that remains of what was the Great Northern Depot, which was levelled to make room for the Expo ’74 that was held in Spokane.

The Great Northern Depot and Clocktower was said to have been built between 1892 and 1902.

The Clocktower was almost levelled too, but was saved by a successful preservation effort.

The Great Northern Railway was said to have been created in 1889, and was the northernmost transcontinental railroad in the United States

The Great Northern Railway was said to the be the creation of the 19th-Century Canadian-American railroad entrepreneur, James J Hill.

We are told James J. Hill was a railroad executive who came from an impoverished childhood.

In 1898, Hill purchased control of large parts of the Mesabi Iron Range in Minnesota and its rail lines.

The Great Northern Railway began large-scale shipment of iron ore to the Midwest’s steel mills.

The “North Shore Scenic Railroad” operates out of what was formerly the Duluth Union Station, and now the “Lake Superior Railroad Museum.”

The North Shore Scenic Railroad corridor travelled by the excursion train once was a vital link in the transportation system known as the Lakefront Line for over 100-years, and connected Duluth and the Iron Range Railway with America’s expanding rail network.

Interesting to note the slant of the road and sidewalk in front of this building; ground-level windows; and below-ground floors, which are all classic indicators for what is best-known as the mud-flood, and found all over the world.

…like these examples of Kars in Armenia on the left and Prescott in Arizona on the right, for just two of countless examples of what I am talking about.

I found this map, circa 1911, of the Duluth Street Railway Company.

I have circled the place where the Aerial Lift Bridge is marked on the map.

A movable, lift-bridge, it spans the Duluth Ship Canal and Minnesota Point, and said to have been constructed between 1901 and 1905, and modified in 1929.

The Duluth Street Railway Company was said to have been incorporated in 1881, and that the first horse-pulled trolley cars were available for service in 1883…

…and that by 1892, the entire line was electrified.

The Highland Park Tramway Line served Duluth Heights via an Incline-Railway from 1892 to 1939, which was the last piece of the electric streetcar system to be dismantled, as the rest started going away in the early 1930s.

Brainerd in Minnesota is 113-miles, or 182-kilometers, southwest of Duluth.

Brainerd was established by the Northern Pacific Railroad President John Gregory Smith, who named it after his wife’s family, and it was organized as a city in 1873.

Brainerd was an important location for the Northern Pacific Railroad, where it had a machine and car shop, and round house.

Today the Northern Pacific Center is a 47-acre, or 19-hectare, site that has among other things, wedding venues, a convention center, businesses, offices and a restaurant.

Now moving aways along the southern shoreline of Lake Superior, the Keweenaw Peninsula is part of the land mass of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

While the Minnesota/Ontario side of Lake Superior is known for the high-quality iron ore from its Iron Ranges, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is known for its high-quality copper.

Keweenaw is the northernmost county of the State of Michigan, and it shares the Keweenaw Peninsula with Houghton County.

Along with several other adjacent counties in the Upper Peninsula, is collectively called “Copper Country,” and in its hey-day, in the late 19th- and early-20th-century, it was the world’s greatest producer of copper.

There is a lift bridge in Houghton County, like the Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge mentioned earlier in this post.

Known as the “Portage Canal Lift Bridge,” it connects the cities of Houghton and Hancock across Portage Lake, which is part of the waterway which cuts across the Keweenaw Peninsula with a canal linking the five-miles to Lake Superior to the northwest.

The steel swing, or vertical, bridge was said to have first been built in 1895 to replace a damaged wooden swing bridge that was built in that location in 1875, and that the current steel bridge replaced the previous steel bridge in 1959.

The Portage Canal Lift Bridge is on the only land-route across the waterway, which is U. S. Highway 41, that originates in Miami, Florida.

The building of the Portage Canal was said to have started in 1868, after the legislation authorizing the building of it passed in 1861, and completed in 1874…and widened in 1935.

Interesting to note the straight railroad track and canal running parallel to each other.

There used to be a trolley line here between the cities of Calumet and Houghton…

…as well as many train stations, but all the tracks have been pulled up.

According to this map of the Houghton County Traction Company that operated the trolley line, there even was an “Electric Park” way up here!

It was a popular recreation destination between 1902 and 1932, which was when all operations of the Houghton County Traction Company ended, and the park disappeared completely from the scene by World War II, we are told, because of the cost of maintenance upkeep, etc, with the main pavilion sold, scrapped and reassembled as a potato barn.

The Duluth, South Shore, and Atlantic Railway was American railroad that served the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and the Lake Superior shoreline of Wisconsin, providing service from Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and St. Ignace, Michigan, westward through Duluth, Minnesota.

Branchlines of this railroad extended up the Keweenaw Peninsula to the cities of Houghton, Calumet, and Lake Linden.

Parts of the Duluth, South Shore, and Atlantic Railway were converted to rail-trails, like the St. Ignace – Trout Lake Trail, which is 26-miles, or 42-kilometers, of multi-use recreational trail in its former railbed.

The Chief Wawatam Railroad Ferry was a coal-fired steel ship primarily based in St. Ignace, Michigan, that operated year-round in the Straits of Mackinac between St. Ignace and Mackinaw City between 1911 and 1984, serving in its storied career as a train and passenger ferry and as an icebreaker.

The first part of the Chief Wawatam’s history is that its main purpose was as a train service to carry railroad cars, though it also operated as a passenger and car ferry over the years.

It served as an icebreaker during the winter months until that function was replaced by the U. S. Coast Guard Icebreaker Mackinaw in 1944, and that the ship’s passenger service also dropped off after World War II.

Passenger service ended after the Mackinac Bridge opened in 1957, and it was used exclusively as a railroad ferry until 1985.

The Chief Wawatam railroad ferry was the only railroad connection between the two peninsulas of Michigan, and in the 1950s, transported 30,000 railroad cars per year across the Straits of Mackinac.

It started servicing the Mackinac Transportation Company in 1911, a joint-venture of the Duluth, South Shore, and Atlantic Railway; the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railway; and the Michigan Central Railroad since all three railroads crossed back and forth at the Straits of Mackinac.

With regards to railroad lines to Mackinaw City on the other side of the Straits of Mackinac, we are told that the Michigan Central Railroad came to Mackinaw City from Detroit in 1881, and the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad in 1882 connecting Mackinaw City to Traverse City; Grand Rapids; and Fort Wayne in Indiana.

The former rail-lines have been repurposed into Rail-trails, like the North Western State Trail from Petoskey…

…the North Central State Trail from Gaylord…

…and the North Eastern State Trail from Alpena.

There were two historic roundhouses in Mackinaw City, one for each of the railroads serving the area.

They were both demolished after the rail-lines leading to Mackinaw City were scrapped sometime in the 1980s.

The location of the former Michigan Central Roundhouse is now a Burger King, and the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad is a parking lot west of the Mackinac Bridge; and the former railyards a shopping mall.

Mackinaw City is not far from the location of the Tahquamenon Falls State Park, where there are a series of waterfalls on the Tahquamenon River before it empties into Lake Superior in the northeastern part of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and the Tahquamenon Falls.

The Tahquamenon Falls are on Michigan State Highway 123, and are accessible from Michigan Highway 28.

I was able to find an historical rail presence at Tahquamenon Falls when I searched and what came up was the “Tahquamenon Falls Riverboat Tours & Toonerville Trolley.”

It is a 6 1/2-hour wilderness tour that starts at Soo Junction that includes a narrow-gauge train ride and riverboat cruise to the Falls.

Making my way down the west coast of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula, also known as “the Mitten,”on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, I found several historic trolley parks.

I found one in Muskegon, the largest city on Lake Michigan’s eastern shore.

The city of Muskegon is located on the south-side of Muskegon Lake, which is a harbor of Lake Michigan.

We are told that the earliest Europeans who visited the area were French explorers like the Jesuit Father Marquette and French soldiers under the explorer LaSalle in the late 1670s.

As a matter of fact, Pere Marquette Park is a beach-area that is located just to the south of the south breakwater and pier.

The Pere Marquette quartz-sand beach is bordered by large sand-dunes.

When I was looking for information about Pere Marquette Park, I came across the information that Lake Michigan Park occupied the north end of today’s Pere Marquette Park.

Lake Michigan Park was a trolley park that had a large roller coaster, dance hall, and pavilions where rail service said to have been developed in the late 18th- and early-19th-centuries to encourage local and regional demand.

We are told the trolley park’s closure was linked to the decline of the trolley service, and the amusement park was torn down in 1930, and at some point became Pere Marquette Park.

The population and economic growth of Muskegon was due to the lumber industry, which began there in 1837, and the city became known as the “Lumber Queen of the World.”

Muskegon also became a manufacturing hub, including but not limited to bowling pins, Raggedy Ann dolls, boats, beer, engines, pianos, and paper to name a few.

This is an historic photograph of Muskegon, circa 1900.

I found the Silver Beach County Park in St. Joseph, Michigan.

St. Joseph was incorporated as a village in 1834 and as a city in 1891.

At one time, Silver Beach was a trolley park and developed as a vacation resort, which first opened in 1891.

The amusement park had a roller coaster, roller skating rink, pipe organ, boxing ring, dance hall and carousel.

The carousel was restored to its former glory and can be found in the building to the right-side of this photo of the park facing Lake Michigan.

There is a fountain on the left called the Whirlpool Compass Fountain.

The Whirlpool Compass Fountain is described as a large splash pad with water jets that can be enjoyed in the spring and summer months.

I have no doubt there is more to this story as well.

We are told that in January of 1870, the Chicago and Michigan Lake Shore Railroad extended a rail-line from New Buffalo to St. Joseph, connecting it to Grand Rapids, Muskegon, Detroit, and Chicago.

It was reorganized as the Chicago and West Michigan Railway and then incorporated into the Pere Marquette Railroad.

Today it is part of the CSX Grand Rapids Subdivision which runs from Chicago to Grand Rapids, which includes Amtrak’s “Pere Marquette” passenger rail service once per day between the two cities, mostly along the southern shore of Lake Michigan.

I also found Orchard Beach State Park in Manistee, Michigan.

Today, it is a public recreation area situated on a bluff just a short-distance north of Manistee.

Apparently there was an apple orchard here that was planted by George Hart some time around 1887, and that by 1892, Hart had built a boardwalk and theater here to attract more tourists.

The same year of 1892, trolley service began with the Manistee, Filer, and Eastlake Railway Company and Orchard Beach became a popular beach destination, and that when trolley service was stopped here, the site was purchased by the Manistee Board of Commerce and deeded to the state to become a park in 1921.

Then, we are told the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was here in the 1930s, and built several limestone structures, including a shelter building.

The 850-ton shelter building pictured here…

…was moved 1,200-feet, or 366-meters, in December of 2020 because the bluff it sat on top of was eroding and unstable.

Next I am going to take a look at some places on the West Coast of the United States.

The city of Vancouver in Washington State is located on the north bank of the Columbia River, directly across from Portland, Oregon on the south bank.

Fort Vancouver was established as a fur trading outpost and headquarters for the Hudson Bay Company in the Columbia Department of the Pacific Northwest in 1825, and was a major center for fur-trading in the region.

I am first going to take a look at was in situated around the old Hudson’s Bay Company Fort Vancouver and Fort Vancouver National Historic Site.

The Hudson’s Bay Company Fort Vancouver is located right next to I-5 and the Pacific Highway Interstate Bridge, a pair of steel, vertical-lift truss bridges that carries the Interstate over the Columbia River between Vancouver and Portland.

The vertical lift spans of the bridge rise vertically while remaining parallel with the deck in order to accommodate shipping lane traffic.

Construction was said to have started in 1915 and opened in 1917 as a single bridge carrying two-way traffic.

I would like to point out that would have been in the middle of World War I, which started in 1914 and ended in 1918.

Plausible?

We are told the second bridge opened in 1958.

I am extremely interested in the extensive rail-trackage, the dark ribbons on this Google Earth screenshot, that I am seeing on both sides of the Columbia River at this location.

On the Vancouver-side of the Columbia River, there is a lot of rail activity paralleling the I-5 Interstate and the Columbia River.

The historic Vancouver Station was said to have been constructed between 1907 and 1908, and is still in use by Amtrak today by three different lines for passenger service.

The Vancouver Station is situated in a triangular junction arrangement of the three rail lines with a railroad switch at each corner, along with BNSF Railway offices, which provides freight services and has major railyards in Vancouver.

At one time in Vancouver’s history, the neighborhood of Sifton was the terminus of an early electric trolley operated by the North Coast Power Company that also served Orchards from 1910 to 1926, as part of the Orchards-Sifton Route that in part ran along Vancouver’s Main Street.

Like the historical orchard and trolley located together in Manistee, Michigan I definitely think there was a connection between the original energy grid and agriculture.

The Burlington Northern Railroad Bridge 9.6 crosses the Columbia River into Portland just below the triangular junction in Vancouver.

The 2,807-foot, or 856-meter, -long Railroad Bridge 9.6, which was said to have been built between 1906 and 1908, has a swing-span which pivots on its base to let taller ships pass through.

The “9.6” in the bridge’s name refers to the distance between the bridge, and Portland’s Union Station, which was said to have been built between 1890 and 1896 in the Romanesque Revival architectural style.

While Portland still has a streetcar system, it is not nearly as extensive as the streetcar system that existed in 1904, the year before Portland hosted the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition.

To put this in perspective, this was a view of Portland’s 3rd Avenue in 1904.

Lots of people walking; electric streetcars and electrical lines…and horse-drawn carriages, but no cars yet.

Mass production of cars didn’t come along until 1908, four-years after this photo was taken.

Oh yes, and the massive and ornate heavy-masonry buildings with columns and archways, and much more.

The Council Crest Amusement Park in Portland operated as a trolley park from 1907 to 1929, was said to have closed due to financial insolvency with the beginning of the Great Depression.

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, 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, and were only 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.

On the Portland-side of the Columbia River, there is also a lot of railway activity showing-up in the western part of North Portland, all around the edges of what is called the Smith and Bybee Wetlands Natural Area.

Along with the rail-lines, the Smith and Bybee Wetlands Natural Area is surrounded by warehouses, port terminals, and commercial areas.

It is one the largest urban freshwater wetlands in the United States.

Wetlands, estuaries, marsh-lands, and the like are all on my radar of things to look for when I do research because I have come to believe they are not as advertised as a natural occurrence.

For example, when I took a look around the Smith & Bybee Wetlands Natural Area, I noticed a star fort-point-shape in the landscape.

The Bybee Lakes Hope Center is located on top of it, a homeless shelter since October of 2020.

Next, I am going to head down to Dunsmuir in California.

The Railroad Park Resort in Dunsmuir is located at the foot of Castle Crags near Mount Shasta.

The lodging accommodations consist of 23-renovated cabooses, four cabins, 24 tent campsites…

…and the restaurant is built inside authentic vintage railroad cars.

Dunsmuir is a popular tourist destination and important railroad town located on the Upper Sacramento River.

Interstate 5 runs along the Sacramento River Canyon along with the railroad and Upper Sacramento River.

There was an historic roundhouse and turntable here, said to have been built by the Central Pacific Railroad in the 1880s, along with a depot, railyards and machine shops.

By the 1950s, so after only 70-years of existence in the historical narrative, the roundhouse and some of the other rail-related infrastructure was for all intents and purposes torn down.

Dunsmuir also had a fire problem, with big fires there in both 1903 and 1924.

The trip going north from Dunsmuir through the Sacremento River Canyon goes past several waterfalls, and the first one being the Hedge Creek Falls.

The Hedge Creek Falls are a short-walk from I-5 and Dunsmuir Avenue…and the only waterfalls open to the public.

The Mossbrae Falls are next, and not open to the public for the given reasons of 1) They are on Union Pacific Railroad-owned property; and 2) public safety concerns due to the active rail-line that runs alongside the falls.

The Mossbrae Falls are just south of the former Shasta Springs Resort, a popular summer resort in the late 19th- and early 20th-centuries, and the springs on the property were the original source of the water and beverages that became known as the Shasta brand of soft-drinks.

The Shasta Springs Resort was sold in the 1950s to the St. Germain Foundation, the current owners of the property and is still in use as use as a major facility by the organization.

Now I am going to add more data about the correlations of waterfalls, railroads, and race tracks to this configuration, with the idea that these were all connected to the original energy-generating grid system of the Earth.

To study this possibility more in-depth, I am going to turn my attention to Iowa, focusing on the upper grouping of correlations between railroads, waterfalls, and racetracks in this screenshot, with the yellow pins being railroad-related infrastructure; the green pins are race tracks; and the blue pins are waterfalls.

There’s obviously more to find here, but this section will give you the idea.

First, I am going to look at the upper section of the previous Google Earth screenshot.

In the top middle is Black Falls and Dunning’s Spring Park.

Black Falls is near Kendallville, Iowa.

For all of the following waterfalls, I am going to point out with red arrows what looks like an old wall, or old masonry, to me.

There are three waterfalls at Dunning’s Spring just southeast of Black Falls, near Decorah, Iowa…

…one of which is located near the Decorah Ice Cave, a limestone and dolomite cave that has ice on the inside even during the summer…

…as well as the falls at Siewer’s Springs near Decorah, described as “technically a spillway, but a gorgeous staircase formation….”

…and the Malanaphy Spring Falls, northwest of Decorah.

I looked for rail-related infrastructure near Decorah, which now only has Railroad Street and Railroad Avenue, with the Mediacom Communications facility sandwiched between the two…

…and what was the Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway Combination Depot in Decorah is now commercial space, and all the railroad tracks through here were removed in 1971.

From where Black Falls and Dunning’s Spring are at the top of the Google Earth screenshot, next I am going to go southeast of there to “Pike’s Peak State Park,” near the Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad in Marquette, Iowa.

Pike’s Peak State Park in McGregor, Iowa, is situated on a 500-foot, or 150-meter, bluff overlooking the confluence of the Mississippi and Wisconsin Rivers.

It is a recreational area that is considered one of Iowa’s premier nature destinations…

…where one of the places you can hike to is called Bridal Veil Falls.

Bridal Veil Falls is described as “a small natural waterfall that flows gracefully out of a horizontal limestone outcropping.”

Pike’s Peak State Park and McGregor, Iowa, are right next to Marquette, Iowa, on the Mississippi River.

Marquette earlier in history was known as North McGregor, and served as a railroad terminus, becoming a major railroad hub for the region in its hey-day.

Passenger service ended in 1960, and the Marquette Depot Museum and Information Service in Marquette celebrates the town’s railroad history with exhibits of historic railroad artifacts…

…though the Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern Railroad, a subsidiary of Canadian Pacific Railway, still runs freight on the rail-lines through here.

Next, I am going to go due west from Marquette and McGregor over to Mason City, which is connected by the same Canadian Pacific Rail-line to Marquette.

Mason City is located on the Winnebago River, and was originally a settlement that was established here in 1853 called “Shibboleth.”

It was also known as Mason Grove and Masonville, until, we are told, Mason City was adopted in 1855, in honor of a founder’s son, Mason Long.

Interesting to note that the original name for the settlement, Shibboleth, is also a Freemasonic password.

The “Iowa Traction Railroad Company,” headquartered in Emery, west of Mason City, operates a short-line rail-line, that is around 10-miles, or 17-kilometers, -long freight railroad between Mason City and Clear Lake, Iowa, that interchanges in Mason City with the Canadian Pacific Railway and Union Pacific Railway.

It is electrified, which means that an electrification system supplies electric power to the railway, as opposed to an on-board power source or local fuel supply…

…and at one time was part of the electric trolley and interurban system of the region, with the charter for the trolley system expiring in August of 1936, and replaced by passenger bus service the following January.

I did find a waterfall in Mason City, though it is on private property and not in a state park.

Called the “Willow Creek Waterfall,” it can be viewed from the State Street Bridge between 1st Street NE and S. Carolina Avenue in Mason City.

The next places I am going to take a look at are the Highway 3 Raceway southeast of Mason City, and Backbone State Park southwest of Pike’s Peak State Park at McGregor.

The Highway 3 Raceway is a half-mile,or almost 1-kilometer, semi-banked clay oval in Allison, Iowa at the Butler County Fairgrounds.

Seeing a Railroad Avenue here too.

Not a whole lot of information available except that it hosts stock-car races and the like.

I think these racetracks are re-purposed elliptical circuitry on the Earth’s grid system.

Backbone State Park, 45-miles, or 72-kilometers, west of Dubuque, Iowa, is the state’s oldest park, having been dedicated in 1919…

…and named after the limestone ridges found in the park.

A Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) work-site for otherwise unemployed young men during the Great Depression, were given the credit for building the park’s recreational infrastructure in the 1930s…

…and the spillway dam at the park’s lake.

This is just a small sample of countless examples of the same infrastructure and same stories.

I have focused on examples in Canada and the United States in this post on the “Disappearance of Railways, Trolley Parks and Roundhouses,” but the same infrastructure seen in North America was found in the same configuration worldwide.

Here is just one example from Denmark.

The Kastrup International Airport in Copenhagen Airport is in a linear alignment with several race tracks, incluidng the Klampenborg Racecourse, which is right next to the Bakken Amusement Park.

The Klampenborg Racecourse is a flat horse-racing track that first opened in 1910 in this affluent Klampenborg suburb of Copenhagen.

Major races held at the Klampenborg Racecourse include the Scandinavian Open Championship, in which 3-year-old and over thoroughbred horse racing takes place annually in August.

The Bakken Amusement Park right next to the Klampenborg Racecourse was said to have opened in the year of 1583, making it the world’s oldest operating amusement park.

Its origins are related in this way:

In 1583, a natural spring was found in a large forest park here.

Residents of Copenhagen to the south of it were attracted to the spring because of the poor water quality in Copenhagen, and the belief that it had curative powers.

The spring drew large crowds in the warmer months, and the large crowds attracted the entertainers and hawkers which was said to be the origin of the amusement park today.

We are told Bakken continued to grow even throughout the Napoleonic Wars, and became even more popular as time went on, with easy accessibility via steamships, starting in 1820, and railroads starting in 1864.

Today the park is filled with rides and amenities, including 5 roller coasters.

The park’s most famous roller coaster is the “Rutschebanen,” a wooden roller coaster that has been open since 1932.

The Tivoli Gardens Amusement Park in Copenhagen opened in 1843, making it the third-oldest operating amusement park in the world, after Bakken in Klampenborg, and the Wurstelprater in Vienna, Austria, which opened to the public in 1766.

The Tivoli Gardens Amusement Park is located in downtown Copenhagen next to the Central Rail Station…

…and the railyards there.

In summary, generally-speaking I think the Controllers’ removed most of original the rail-lines that were a functional part of the energy grid when they were no longer needed for mining and/or their agenda, and only kept what was needed for freight, with keeping some for public transportation where it was critical infrastructure and scaled passenger service way-back from what it once was.

This is an historic photograph of an electric streetcar in a Charlotte, North Carolina neighborhood.

Electric streetcar systems at one time were in existence everywhere, and not just limited to a few places here and there, like what we see today in some of the larger cities around the world.

But mostly, the removal of the electric streetcar lines all over the world left us with the chaotic traffice patterns of today, like what we see in Hanoi in Viet Nam in our day and age…

…which at one time in its history had a state-of-the-art electric streetcar system.

Former rail-lines were instead turned into interstates, highways, roadways, and recreational rail-trails. used for harvesting our energy for the benefit of a few from what was the original free-energy grid system for the benefit of all.

They have also been harvesting the original energy grid of its components with the mining industry, as well as all available natural resources, including, but not limited to, the lumber industry.

The free-energy grid was destroyed, and the robber barons behind the creation of the New World Order, like John D. Rockefeller, J. P. Morgan, and other big players in our historical narrative, actively sought to bring on-line replacement sources for energy-generation and industry as quickly as possible, and in the process became incredibly wealthy and powerful!

They claimed the very best of everything for themselves.

While the new elite class lived in the lap of luxury, and helped themselves to the best of everything, they had little care for anyone or anything else – not at all.

Those that heretofore have been in control of the world in which we live deviously figured out a way to keep us asleep by this new culture they created, and they have been getting filthy rich at our expense because we have been paying for our own poisoning with our addictions; paying for our own mind control programming with distractions; and keeping us in consumerism mode to enrich corporate interests; and ultimately financing our own destruction.

They have actively facilitated the demise of all the rest of us, who they call “useless eaters,” into the present-day.

The negative beings behind what has taken place here wanted to set up a new god as lord of this world and wanted a proxy vote for their hostile takeover.

A hostile takeover bid occurs when an acquiring company seeks to acquire another company – the target company – but the board of directors from the target company has no desire to be acquired by, or merged with, another company.

The two most common strategies used by acquirers in a hostile takeover are a tender offer or a proxy vote.

The tender offer is an offer to purchase shares at a premium to the market price.

The proxy offer is persuading shareholders of the target company to vote out the existing management.

The only way they can accomplish this acceptance, however, is by outright lies, deception and duplicity because if people knew the true agenda of these controllers, the majority of Humanity would never, ever accept this.

But the problem is in a Free Will Zone like Earth, the Human Beings who live here have to give their consent to choose whether the follow the Light or the Dark.

I bring all this up is because it is important to know this is what has been going on here.

Humans are inherently sovereign beings.

They have gone to all of this trouble because, by Universal Law, they can’t lay a finger on us.

They have tricked us into accepting their sovereignty over our own, and fooled us into enabling their diabolical agenda.

The Controllers have always feared the Great Awakening of Humanity, and thus threw everything they could at us to prevent it from happening and keep us asleep so we would never know what hit us.

But no matter what they do, they can’t keep it from happening.

They have lost control of the narrative, and no matter how hard they try to get it back, they are more exposed than they have ever been for those with eyes to see and ears to hear.

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.”

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.

Circuit Board Earth

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.

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.”

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.

I have encountered quite a bit of information in past research about how cultural programming like wild west shows and western movies directly covered up the evidence of an already existing advanced civilization, and its destruction, not only in North Americabut worldwide.

Other venues serving the same purpose in promoting the same desired outcome for cultural programming, included dime museums, billed as cheap entertainment for working-class people.and travelling circuses.

Buffalo Bill Cody was a major figure in the world of Wild West Shows, as was Phineas T. Barnum in the world of Dime Museums and the circus world, and I am going to be highlighting their illustrious careers as showmen for the purposes of this post, and demonstrating how they both acted as agents of mass programming in the historical reset of the New World from the Old World.

I am going to start with Buffalo Bill Cody.

The early Wild West Shows which pre-dated the movie genre, had a powerful impact in imprinting in all our minds the picture of the “Old West” of the United States as empty land free for the taking by whoever could subdue the wild indians that lived there, of which the “Buffalo Bill Wild West Show” was the most famous.

I am going to first delve into what I call the John Wayne version of history, that false historical narrative that we have been indoctrinated in from cradle-to-grave, by highlighting ole Buffalo Bill himself.

The Old Wild West Shows were described as travelling vaudeville shows in the United States and Europe that took place between 1870 and 1920.

Vaudeville was a type of entertainment popular in the United States early in the 20th-century, featuring a mix of speciality acts such as burlesque comedy, song, and dance.

Burlesque is a style in literature and drama that mocks or imitates a subject by representing it in an ironic or ludicrous way.

Human degradation was going on here, as opposed to learning ways to expand into self-awareness and Higher Consciousness.

Vaudeville originated in France in the 19th-century, we are told, as a theatrical genre of variety entertainment, and became one of the most popular forms of entertainment in North America for several decades.

While not in every case, it was typically characterized by travelling companies touring through cities and towns.

Enter U. S. Army scout and guide William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody.

Frontiersman “Buffalo Bill” Cody at the age of 23 met writer Ned Buntline, who published a story called “Buffalo Bill, King of the Bordermen” about Cody’s adventures that was serialized on the front page of the “Chicago Tribune” newspaper on December 15th of 1869, and which was apparently admitted to be largely invented by the writer.

Other stories about Buffalo Bill by Buntline and other western writers followed from the 1870s through the early-part of the 20th-century.

Then, Buffalo Bill went on stage as an actor starting in 1872 in Chicago in a play written by Ned Buntline called “The Scouts of the Prairie.”

He founded his international touring show in 1883, which travelled across the United States, Great Britain, and Continental Europe.

In the years following the formation of his travelling Wild West show, Buffalo Bill Cody had earned enough from its performances by 1886 to purchase an 18-room mansion named the “Scout’s Rest Ranch,” now part of the Buffalo Bill State Historical Park, near North Platte, Nebraska…

…and had taken his Wild West show to London for the celebration of Queen Victoria’s Jubilee year in 1887, and they subsequently stayed on for another 5-months touring several big cities in England.

In 1889, Buffalo Bill’s Wild West returned to Europe to be part of the 1889 Paris World’s Fair, which was said to commemorate the 100th-Anniversary of the Storming of the Bastille during the French Revolution, and was also known to history as when the Eiffel Tower made its debut…

…and during the tour of Europe they did afterwards, Buffalo Bill and some of his performers apparently put on a show during an audience with Pope Leo XIII in 1890 when they were travelling through Italy.

All together, Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show toured Europe eight times between 1887 and 1906.

In 1893, the name was changed to “Buffalo Bill’s Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World” from horse-cultures the world over.

Apparently Buffalo Bill set-up his Wild West show independently at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893 after they refused his request to participate, and this increased his popularity in the United States.

Headliners in the Buffalo Bill Wild West show included sharpshooter Annie Oakley…

…and storyteller and sharpshooter Calamity Jane…

…who also made an appearance in Buffalo, New York, at the 1901 Pan-American Exposition.

Performances at Buffalo Bill’s Wild West shows, among others included: re-enactments of the riding of the Pony Express; indian attacks on wagon trains; and stagecoach robberies.

Interesting to note the Pony Express in our historical narrative was short-lived.

Its parent company was the Central Overland and Pike’s Peak Express Company, which was a stagecoach company that operated in the American West starting in 1859.

The owners of the parent stagecoach company were said to have spared no expense in obtaining and equipping new stations for the Pony Express.

The Pony Express Home Station in Marysville, Kansas, was the first station the riders came to after leaving St. Joseph, said to have been leased by its 1859 builder, Joseph Cottrell, to the Pony Express in 1860, which had its first letter delivered to it by railroad on April 3rd of 1860.

The mail service utilized relays of horse-mounted riders.

I came across this ad seeking Pony Express riders…interestingly worded!!

Wanted: Young, skinny, wiry fellows not over eighteen. Must be expert riders, willing to risk death daily. Orphans preferred!

Orphans preferred?

In spite of all the money and effort spent on the Pony Express, between its operating expense, and the new transcontinental telegraph service, it ended after only a year-and-a-half, on October 26th of 1861.

I even saw a book about Buffalo Bill called “Presenting Buffalo Bill – the Man who Invented the Wild West.”

And I looked to see if William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody was a freemason.

I didn’t have to look far at all to find Buffalo Bill’s connection to freemasonry – it was right out there in the open!

There were a number of Wild West Shows during that era, besides that of Buffalo Bill.

Another one that I would like to mention was the Miller Brothers 101 Ranch Wild West Show, from northeastern Oklahoma near Ponca City.

The Miller Brothers 101 Ranch Wild West Show went national in 1907 at the Ter-Centennial Jamestown Exposition at Hampton Roads in Norfolk, Virginia, which commemorated the 300th-anniversary of the founding of the Jamestown Colony, the first permanent English settlement in the Americas.

Here’s what the historical narrative tells us about Jamestown.

We are told that Jamestown became the first permanent English settlement in the Americas when it was established on the northeast banks of the James River by the Virginia Company of London as “James Fort” on May 4th of 1607.

The official narrative promotes this appearance for Jamestown when it began…

…and yes, star forts are known to be in triangular shapes, and have rounded-bastions as well…

…and that the obelisk and the ruins of old red brick buildings and stone foundations at the Jamestown settlement came after the colony was established.

The Jamestown Obelisk was said to have been erected by the United States government in 1907 to commemorate the settlement, which is the same reason given for the Ter-Centennial Jamestown Exposition at Hampton Roads in Norfolk, Virginia.

The story goes that the Jamestown Exposition Committee purchased 340-acres at rural Sewell’s Point in Norfolk county that was equally distant from all of its member cities, and then the committee began making plans for developing an exposition that would draw national and international attention to America’s growing naval might and the economic potential of the region…

…and that work began on the exposition grounds starting in 1904, and by the end of 1905, the exposition grounds had miles of graded streets; a water and sewer system fed by a reservoir; and great basins…

…and that by the time it opened in 1907, it had all kinds of exciting sights to see!

After the 1907 Exposition, we are told, many of the buildings which had been built especially for it were used as part of the infrastructure of the new Naval Station Norfolk.

The Miller Brothers 101 Ranch Wild West Show received its first national exposure at the 1907 Jamestown Exposition.

Some of the biggest crowds of the exposition were lured by the Miller Brothers 101 Ranch Wild West Show on their way to the “War Path,” the name given to the Midway fairgrounds of the Exposition, where there were panoramic moving screen productions of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, and the Civil War battles of Hampton Roads, Manassas, and Gettysburg…

…among other sideshow attractions of the day, like an infantorium, in which premature babies were displayed to the public in incubators.

Later that same year, the show began the tour circuit in Brighton Beach, a neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York, with equestrian displays; trick-roping; indian dancers; and shooting; an in the history of the show, included famous people of the day like western actor Tom Mix and the Apache prisoner Geronimo.

The Miller Brothers 101 Ranch was a 100,000 acre, or 45,000 hectare, cattle ranch founded in 1893 by Colonel George Washington Miller, a Confederate Army veteran.

The Miller Brothers 101 Ranch Western Show started in 1905.

Brother Joe, a rancher who was an expert in grains and plants, started the show; brother George was a “cowman;” and brother Zack was a financial wizard.

Coincidentally…or not…the Miller 101 Ranch was also the birthplace of Marland Oil Company, which later merged with Continental Oil, better known as Conoco, in a successful take-over bid by J. P. Morgan in 1929.

E. W. Marland was a lawyer and oil-man who moved to Ponca City in 1908 from Pennsylvania…

…at which time he founded the “101 Ranch Oil Company” when he entered into a leasing arrangement with the Miller Brothers 101 Ranch in Ponca City.

Then in 1917, E. W. Marland founded the Marland Oil Company, which by 1920 controlled 10% of the world’s oil reserves.

Before moving on to Phineas T. Barnum, this is a good place to bring up the meaning of the word “exposition.”

There are two definitions of the word exposition.

One is a device used to give background information to the audience about the setting and characters of the story.

Exposition is used in television programs, movies, literature, plays and even music.

What better way to tell your audience the story you want them to believe than the other definition of exposition, a large exhibition of art or trade goods.

These wild west shows were expositions themselves, and in many cases they were showcased as we have seen as part of much larger international expositions, where the audience was given the background, setting, and characters of the new narrative, or new “story.”

Now I am going to turn my attention to Phineas T. Barnum, who was pursuing a different line of cultural programming for the masses

Known more commonly as P. T. Barnum, he was a showman, businessman, and politician.

P. T. Barnum purchased Scudder’s Dime Museum in 1841, and turned it into Barnum’s American Museum.

Dime museums were most popular in the United States at the end of the 19th-century and beginning of the 20th-century as institutions which provided cheap entertainment for working-class people, and reached their peak in popularity in the time-period between 1890 and 1920, declining in popularity with the rise of Vaudeville and the film industry.

From its opening at a location in what is now the Financial District of Manhattan in 1841, Barnum’s American Museum was known for its strange attractions and performances.

The attractions were a combination of zoo, museum, lecture hall, wax museum, theater, and freak show.

Apparently it became a central location in the development of American popular culture.

Barnum’s American Museum was filled with things like dioramas; scientific instruments; modern appliances; a flea circus; the “feejee” mermaid; Siamese twins, and other human curiosities…

…which included Charles Sherwood Stratton, better known as “General Tom Thumb,” who was 2-feet, 11-inches, or 89-cm-tall at his full-grown height as an adult.

Stratton was taken under Barnum’s wing as a child, and he started performing for him as an entertainer starting at the age of 5, and this continued throughout his life.

His considerable talent as a performer changed the public perception of “human curiosities” that were part of the freak shows of the era, into something more positive that was previously deemed dishonorable.

On July 13th of 1865, the building which housed Barnum’s American Museum caught fire and burned to the ground.

Apparently there were not any human deaths, but a number of the live animal exhibits, including two whales imported from the coast of Labrador, were burned alive.

This was the second of five major fires connected to P. T. Barnum.

The first major fire associated with P. T. Barnum was the mansion he was said to have had built as his residence in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in 1848, and named “Iranistan.”

It was said to have been set on fire by workmen in 1857 when Barnum had been away for several months.

We are told Barnum had hired architect Leopold Eidlitz to design Iranistan as his own version of the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, said to have been constructed in England between 1787 and 1815.

The architecture of these places looks distinctly like Moorish architecture, though instead of the Brighton Pavilion being called Moorish, it is called Indo-Saracenic Revival-style instead.

The third fire involved the second Barnum’s American Museum that he started after the first one burned down, this time in 1868, at which time a faulty chimney flue was said to have burned down this building as well.

The fourth fire associated with P. T. Barnum was what was called the “Hippotheatron” in New York, which was said to have taken place in 1872 shortly after Barnum purchased it for winter quarters for his travelling show; and a combined circus building and a smaller version, including a menagerie, of his American Museum.

And the last fire that was associated with P. T. Barnum took place in 1887 at his winter quarters in Bridgeport, Connecticut, which caused the mass destruction of property and of many animals.

And was P. T. Barnum a Freemason?

I could find no reference to Barnum himself being a Freemason.

I did find two interesting freemasonic connections to him though.

One was a reference to his magnificent “Iranistan” residence and the masonic presence in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in an article in an 1851 issue of “The Freemason’s Monthly Magazine…”

…and the other was General Tom Thumb.

Charles Sherwood Stratton became a Master Mason in the same lodge in Bridgeport mentioned in the referenced 1851 Freemasonry Magazine article, St. John’s Lodge No. 3, and he received the Commandery degrees of Masonic Knight Templar in the Hamilton Commandery No. 5 in Bridgeport in 1863.

General Tom Thumb was buried with masonic honors in Bridgeport’s Mountain Grove Cemetery when he died of a stroke at the age of 45 in 1883.

Dime Museums were not only established in large cities, but were even found in smaller communities, like Harper’s Ferry in West Virginia…

…and Harper’s Ferry has a wax museum that opened in 1963 to tell the story of John Brown and his infamous 1859 raid on the federal armory in Harper’s Ferry.

Harry Houdini even got his start in Dime Museums in the 1890s, where he performed your typical magician- and card-tricks, something which he was good at but not great.

So he began experimenting with escape acts.

Harry Houdini was the most famous death-defying daredevil of his era.

A Hungarian-born immigrant by the name of Eric Weisz, Harry Houdini who was a magician particularly well-known for his escape acts.

He became known as Handcuff Harry Houdini for his expertise in escaping from handcuffs…lots of handcuffs…and he was soon booked on the Orpheum Vaudeville circuit.

Within months of this happening, he was performing at the top Vaudeville houses in the country.

In 1900, he went to Europe for a tour, and stayed in London for six-months performing his act at the Alhambra Theater after he was said to successfully escape from Scotland Yard’s handcuffs in a demonstration with them.

The Alhambra Theater opened in London in 1854…

…and was demolished in 1936.

Houdini’s reputation and fame continued to grow, as he toured Europe and the United States, as in particular, he challenged local police to restrain him with handcuffs and shackles, and lock him in their jails.

He eventually graduated, if you will, to escaping from strait-jackets while hanging upside-down from a great height in sight of street audiences…

…to escaping from locked, water-filled milk cans.

In the end, it wasn’t Harry Houdini’s proclivity for escaping from the most restrictive circumstances that could be devised for him that killed him.

What we are told is that his legendary life was cut short by peritonitis secondary to a ruptured appendix, when he was punched in the gut by an inquisitive student.

Our modern-day history was packed with dozens of death-defying daredevils like Harry Houdini, out-doing themselves with ever more outlandish stunts, and keeping the eyes on the ground glued upwards.

Distraction, distraction, distraction?!

So this brings me to the subject of circuses, with which the name of P. T. Barnum is inextricably-linked, along with dime museums.

P. T. Barnum did not enter the circus business until later in life.

He was 60 when he established “P. T. Barnum’s Grand Travelling Museum, Menagerie, Caravan and Hippodrome” in Delavan, Wisconsin, in 1870.

It was a travelling circus, menagerie and freak show.

Barnum’s circus went under various names, and then in 1881, he merged with James Bailey’s circus to become “Barnum & Bailey’s” and the first three-ringed circus.

The Golden Age of the American Circus began in 1870, and ended around 1950.

This era was driven by railroad expansion, allowing circuses to be moved by train, and intense rivalries between circuses developed which transformed them into a major cultural and entertainment industry that toured the nation at its peak, before it faded as a thing by the mid-20th-century.

Interesting to note a few more things about the freemasonic connections to modern circuses.

The Medinah Temple on the north-side of Chicago was the annual location for the performance of the Shrine Circus in Chicago for many years.

The Medinah Temple was said to have been designed by the Shriners’ architects Huehl and Schmidt, and completed in 1912, and described as “…a colorful Islamic-looking building replete with pointed domes and an example of Moorish Revival architecture.”

Currently the building is not being used for anything, but it originally housed an ornate auditorium with a seating-capacity of 4,200 on three-levels, and several organs.

WGN-TV used the Medinah Temple for the live telecast of “The Bozo 25th Anniversary Special” on September 7th of 1986, which really reinforces the masonic connections between circuses and clowns that I am finding in my research.

I mean it’s not hard to find out things like comedian and clown Red Skelton was a Shriner when you look for it.

Also, the Scottish Rite Cathedral Headquarters Association is in Bloomingdale, Illinois, which is a suburb of Chicago.

The Scottish Rite Cathedral Headquarters Association tells us it is “telling the story of Free Masons and the Scottish Rite origins in symbolic interior and exterior spaces.”

We are told in our historical narrative that the first-century Roman poet Juvenal, who said in one of his poems a phrase that is commonly interpreted as: “Two things only the people anxiously desire: bread and circuses.”

The phrase “bread and circuses” has come down to us as meaning the cultural and political practice of providing “superficial appeasement” to people in the form of cheap food and entertainment to keep them happy, and diverting their emotional energy into the absurd and the trivial and the spectacle in order to keep them distracted for the purpose of maintaining power and control over the masses.

I think this continues to be a very effective control mechanism in our world still being consciously practiced on us to this day, and that these showmen pioneered the development of their venues to disseminate the programming of the masses before the founding of the movie industry in the early 20th-century. and the ability to reach the masses without travelling to do so.

I am going to take a deeper look at the Ancient Holy Lands around the Gulf of Aden in this post that you wouldn’t know from today’s headlines.

The Gulf of Aden, also known as the Gulf of Berbera, is bounded on the North by Yemen, the Arabian Sea and Guardafui Channel in the east, and the Horn of Africa, a peninsula comprised of Somalia, Somaliand, Ethiopia, and Djibouti to the south and west.

• 

First, Yemen.

Following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in 1918, at the end of World War I, when the former Ottoman Empire was divided between the countries on the “winning” side of the war…

…northern Yemen became an independent state known as the Kingdom of Yemen.

Then, less than 50-years later, on September 27th of 1962, revolutionaries deposed the newly-installed, last King of Yemen, Muhammad al-Badr, and formed the Yemen Arab Republic, which was said to have been inspired by the Arab Nationalist Ideology of Nasser’s Egyptian United Arab Republic.

This action started the North Yemen Civil War from 1962 to 1970 between supporters of the Kingdom, which included Saudi Arabia and Jordan, and supporters of the Yemen Arab Republic, which included Egypt.

By the end of the North Yemen Civil War, the supporters of the Kingdom were defeated, and the Yemen Arab Republic was recognized by Saudi Arabia in 1970.

The People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen in the South was known as the Aden Protectorate in 1918, which it had been known as since 1874 with the creation of the British Colony of Aden and the Aden Protectorate, which consisted of 2/3rds of present-day Yemen.

The Aden Protectorate existed until 1963, when it was merged with the new Federation of South Arabia.

By 1967, the Federation of South Arabia had merged with the Protectorate of South Arabia, and later changed its named to the People’s Republic of Southern Yemen, becoming a Marxist-Leninist state in 1969, the only Communist state to be established in the Arab World.

The same thing happened in Somalia and Ethiopia.

The Ogaden War took place between Ethiopia and Somalia between July of 1977 and March of 1978.

The administration of the British Protectorate of Somaliland had given Ethiopia this land in 1948 as the result of an 1897 Treaty.

The Soviet Union supported Ethiopia after Somalia invaded the region.

Ethiopia won the war with the support of Cuban armed forces, Soviet advisors, and over $1-billion worth of military supplies airlifted by the Soviet Union.

The origins of the Somali Civil War resulted from the demoralization in the Somali Armed Forces and the people of Somalia caused by the loss, eventually leading to the overthrow of President Siad Barre in 1991, who had been a Marxist-Leninist Military Dictator of Somalia since 1969 after the assassination of the President of the Somali Republic, the name given to the Newly independent state of Somalia after its independence from Great Britain.

It is important to note that the overthrow of the Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie took place three-years earlier on September 12th of 1974, in a coup also initiated by a Marxist-Leninist faction in the Ethiopian military, and marked the beginning of a 17-year-long Ethiopian Civil War, leaving 1.4 million dead.

The Ethiopian Civil War formally ended in 1991, the same year Siad Barre was overthrown and the Somali Civil War started.

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

Its members were lineal descendants of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba through their son Menelik I, the first Emperor of Ethiopia.

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.

There seems to be a pattern emerging in this part of the world.

Either upon Independence from a European Colonial power, a Marxist-Leninist faction within the military seized power from the Republican form of government that replaced the colonial government; or a dynastic ruler was replaced by a Marxist-Leninist Faction in the military.

The result was the same: dividing countries and people; civil war; territorial war; and some form of Marxist government implemented.

In Yemen, on March 22nd of 1990, the leaders of the Yemen Arab Republic (North) and People’s Democratic Republic (South) of Yemen announced unification as the Republic of Yemen.

With the 1990 reunification of Yemen into the Republic of Yemen, the new government was comprised of officials from both sides, with a de facto form of collaborative governance, until the country went into Civil War in 1994.

The current Yemeni Civil War started in 2014, with multiple entities vying for governance, including the Presidential Leadership Council; the Islamist Houthi Movement’s Supreme Political Council; and the Southern Movement’s Southern Transitional Council.

Today Yemen is one of the least developed countries in the world, and in 2019, the UN reported that Yemen had the highest number of people in need of Humanitarian Aid.

Yemen is another one of those places in this region with a missing glorious ancient past.

The historical Yemen occupied more land than what it does currently, and stretched into what is now southwestern Saudi Arabia and southern Oman today.

The Kingdom of Saba was believed to have been the biblical Sheba, and the oldest and most important of the historic South Arabian kingdoms.

This was the historical land of the biblical Queen of Sheba, who brought a caravan of gifts to King Solomon.

This was the Awwam Temple in Marib, Yemen, the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Saba.

The Awwam Temple is also known as the Mahram Bilquis, or the Sanctuary of the Queen of Sheba.

Arash Bilqis, or the Throne of Bilqis, at the Barran Temple, also in ancient Marib, has monolithic stone pillars (meaning single block of stone) more than 26-feet, or 8-meters, high, featuring writing and advanced masonry.

It is interesting to note the desertification through this region, something we will be seeing a lot of in this part of the world.

We’ve always been taught desertification was the result of natural processes over long periods of geologic time, and not only that, it is an explanation we are not allowed to question.

I definitely believe there is a reason to question the only explanation we are given to explain what we see in our world.

It is interesting to note that the old South Arabian inscriptions seen here on the top left, have a Norse rune look to them on the top right.

I think these runes were actually the runes of Vril, or “Life Force,” that was connected to the Ancient Humans and their mastery of how to harness natural energy to create amazing things.

This whole region is part of the East African Rift, where the African Plate is splitting into two plates – the Somali Plate and the Nubian Plate.

The red triangles are showing the location of historically active volcanoes.

What’s interesting to me about this fact is the example of the tree-trunk looking appearance of some of the volcanoes in Yemen, like the one in the middle of the town of Hammam Damt, and speculation that what were once giant trees became volcanoes.

Another thing found all over Yemen is quaint and unique architecture built on high.

Yemen has many examples of this.

Why build like this?

What are we actually looking at?

Was there a relationship between the ancients and giant tree stumps that were used in building their communities?

The port city of Aden in Yemen is located on the Gulf of Aden near the eastern approach to the Red Sea, almost directly across from Berbera in Somaliland.

Aden is one of the largest cities in Yemen, with a population of over 1,000,000 people.

It is a crucial maritime hub that connects Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.

There is a legend in Yemen that Aden is as old as human history itself, and that Cain and Abel are buried somewhere in the city.

More on the possible Aden – Eden connection in a bit.

A couple of things to point out about Aden.

One is the Crater District.

Its official name in Arabic is “Seera,” and it is situated in the crater of an ancient volcano which forms the Shamsan Mountains.

Aden was first visited by the British East India Company ship “The Ascension” in 1609, before it sailed to Mocha, another port in Yemen on the Red Sea known for things like its coffee trade.

Starting with Napoleon’s invasion of Egypt in 1796, the British Government and East India Company were interested in this area for naval fleets and other bases.

In 1839, the East India Company landed royal marines here to “secure the territory,” and stop attacks by pirates against British shipping to India, but what they actually meant by “securing,” was capturing for British interests.

By 1850, Aden was declared a “free trade” port by the East India Company, with liquor, salt, arms and opium trades, and all the coffee trade it had won from Mocha.

The other thing I would like to mention in Aden are the “Cisterns of Tawila.”

It is surmised that the “Cisterns of Tawila” were designed to collect rainwater for the city’s drinking water that flowed down from the Shamsan Massif.

Interesting there is signage at the Cisterns saying that nothing was known about the original construction after they were “accidently” discovered by a British Officer in 1854.

Next, we come to the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, located between southwestern Yemen near Aden, and northeastern Djibouti, and connects the Gulf of Aden to the Red Sea.  

This strait is of great strategic and economic importance. 

For one thing, millions of barrels of crude oil are shipped through it every day. 

As I was looking for images of the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, I noticed this Google Earth Image on the right showing Perim Island, and the old map on the left showing it as a British possession at one time.

It was part of the British Aden Protectorate between 1857 and 1967,and is considered part of Yemen.

Perim is described as a volcanic island, and was said to have been called the “Island of Diodorus” in ancient times.

Diodorus was a historian was said to have lived in the 1st-century BC,best-known for writing the “Bibliotheca Historica,” about the history and culture of Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, Scythia, Arabia, North Africa, Greece and Europe.

The image of Diodorus on the top right we are told is from a 19th-century fresco…

…and this work of Diodorus we are told was translated into English between 1933 and 1954 by an American named Charles Henry Oldfather, a Professor of Greek and Ancient History at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

As a result of my research, I have come to believe that what we are taught as true history was back-filled history, and with the details provided in the 19th and 20th-centuries, just like in these examples here of a painting of Diodorus in a 19th-century fresco and his works translated into English in the 20th-century.

I give more examples of my research findings like this in my recent post here – “The Backfill of History and the Shaping of Our New Historical Narrative.”

The Backfill of History and the Shaping of Our New Historical Narrative

Perim was occupied by the British starting in 1856 under the direction of the Prime Minister, Lord Palmerston, with the purpose of countering French ambitions in Egypt and the Red Sea with the Suez Canal project sponsored by the French.

The island had already been taken possession of the by the British East India Company in 1799, and the British claimed credit for building a lighthouse in 1861 due to the treacherous waters around the island.

Interesting to note that during the same time-period, the 1850s, the so-called Palmerston Forts on the Isle of Wight, and other places in and around the English Channel, were said to have been built during the Victorian Era in response to a perceived threat of French invasion.

They are called the Palmerston Forts due to their association with the same Lord Palmerston who authorized the occupation of Perim for the same reason of the perception of a threat from the French by the British.

It certainly appears like the conflicts and wars between nations of the modern-era provided the cover story needed to explain the existence of the infrastructure of the original civilization, like light houses and star forts, which were found all over the world and functioned as part of the Earth’s original free-energy grid-system, and they were repurposed as necessary navigational aids and military fortifications in the reset narrative.

I have also come to the conclusion after much research that land broke off or submerged when the energy grid was deliberately destroyed where the lighthouses, star forts, and railroads once were, creating the surface of the Earth we see today, which is very different from what it was before this took place.

The volcanic Sawabi Islands are southwest of Perim Island in the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, and they are part of the country of Djibouti.

They are known as a popular diving site.

I want to bring your attention again to the desertification of this region.

Here is a Google Earth screenshot of the Sahara Desert today from the western coast of North Africa, across to the eastern coast.

When I saw the downward flow of the Sahara Desert on either side of the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait at the entrance to the Red Sea off the coast of East Africa on the top left, it immediately brought to mind the downward flow of the desert off the coast of West Africa in Mauretania and Western Sahara on the bottom right.

What we are told is that the Sahara was green until about 5,000-years ago, when it started turning into inhospitable desert after the end of glaciation 10,000-years ago created a climate change that affected the ability of yearly monsoon rains to reach this part of the continent.

But I think that is just another cover story to hide a deliberately-caused cataclysmic event that happened much more recently in time that resulted in world-wide devastation and destruction along the Earth’s grid-lines, causing landscapes to simultaneously turn into deserts, swamps, or to submerge completely.

And where have we heard “climate change” before?

Let’s see what else we find looking around the Gulf of Aden.

The Republic of Djibouti situated in the horn of Africa, and located between Somalia, Ethiopia and Eritrea.

Djibouti is the primary location of the Afar Triple Junction, or Afar Triangle, a tectonic triple junction of three tectonic plates – the Nubian, Somalian, and Arabian – at the northern end of the Great Rift Valley and Djibouti is the southernmost country on the Arabian Plate.

The Afar Triangle is thought to be the cradle of the evolution of Humans, and here is where the possible Aden – Eden connection comes back in to this region.

The Afar people live in the Afar Triangle region today and traditionally are described is Cushitic nomadic livestock herders.

But were they always nomadic livestock herders?

Or did the Afar people have a much more glorious past than present?

The ancient Kingdom of Kush, also known as Nubia, was at one time a powerful civilization in this part of Africa.

I remembered from something I read a long time ago that the Great Rift Valley in this part of the world was where the remains of “Lucy” were discovered in 1974, and as it turns out, they were discovered at Hadar, which is in Ethiopia in the Awash River Valley on the edge of the Afar Triangle.

“Lucy” was classifed as the 3.2-million-year-old skeletal remains of a female “Australopithecus,” or the earliest known hominids considered to be a close relative of modern humans, and postulated by some to be the “missing link” between apes and humans.

When I typed “Aden Eden” into the search bar, this is one of the images that came up.

It is titled “Garden of Eden (Aden) on Google Earth by Bradly Couch on Pinterest.”

As the Book of Genesis relates our creation story, Eve was our earliest female ancestor, created by God from Adam’s rib, and they were the first man and woman.

So what’s interesting to me is that the Hadar Site is where one of Bradly’s arrows is pointing with the caption: “Act of procreation and branching,” and what I am wondering about this is whether or not we have been given a replacement story about our origins linking us to evolution from apes instead of our creation coming directly from God.

And that this replacement story occurred in a region connected with the name “Aden,” which is one letter different from the name “Eden.”

I don’t know.

I just wanted to point out these intriguing connections I found in this location.

I want to mention Lake Abbe, described as a salt lake on Djibouti’s border with Ethiopia in the Afar Triangle, where the three tectonic plates are pulling away.

Lake Abbe is a truly surreal-looking place, and is considered one of the most inaccessible areas on Earth.

I am just left wondering what we are really looking at here like we are told – the result of natural geologic processes…or a sudden cataclysmic event wreaking havoc on the Earth!

Ethiopia’s Awash River runs from near Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, to Lake Abbe.

And is the Awash River actually a canal?

We are taught to believe that rivers are of natural origin, and that any infrastructure related to canals or hydrology were of modern origin.

There’s also a railway history along the Awash River, more infrastructure that is attributed to having been built in our more recent modern history.

Yet, I find railroads all over the world co-located with rivers/canals/gorges, and connected with hydroelectric facilities.

Finding the same thing here.

Railway along the Awash River, which has a gorge and three functional dams.

One of the worst railroad accidents in history took place in 1985, when an express train derailed on a curved bridge over the gorge of the Awash River in Awash, Ethiopia, killing 428, and injuring 500.

I am having a hard time finding information about the crash, but this was what we are told about it.

I go into depth about this finding railroads in very different places that are co-located with rivers/canals/gorges, and connected with hydro in my post “Of Railroads and Waterfalls and Other Physical Infrastructure of the Earth’s Grid System.”

Of Railroads and Waterfalls and Other Physical Infrastructure of the Earth’s Grid System

In this same region In Ethiopia, north of Addis Ababa , we find Lalibela, Lake Tana, Gondar, the Simien Mountains and Aksum.

Lalibela is the second holiest of Ethiopia’s cities, after Aksum. 

It is famous for its complex of all together eleven monolithic churches, meaning cut out of one rock.

It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978.

The population of Lalibela is almost completely Ethiopian Orthodox Christian.

The ancient Ethiopian language of Ge’ez is the oldest African script still in use to this day, and is the liturgical language of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and the Jewish Community in Ethiopia.

The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church dates back to the acceptance of Christianity by the Kingdom of Axum in 330 AD.

The Jewish community in Ethiopia is dated back to at least 15-centuries.

Lake Tana is the source of the Blue Nile, and the largest lake in Ethiopia, and is a sacred lake.

It has been a registered UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Site since 2015, along with its seven ancient monasteries, like the main monastery of Narga Selassie on Lake Tana’s Dek Island.

Among other things, the heart-shaped Lake Tana has living traditions about being a place where Joseph, Mary, and Jesus stayed on their way back to Israel after fleeing Herod, and also as a place where the Ark of the Covenant was kept for 800 years before going to Axum, where it is said to currently be located.

This photo is a comparison for similarity of appearance of an old bridge near Lake Tana  on the top left, with the River Nith Old Bridge, one of the oldest standing bridges in Scotland, in Dumfries, on the bottom right.

Next, Gondar.

Gondar was the royal city of Ethiopia.

Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It was the capital of the historic Ethiopian Empire and we are told the Imperial Seat from the 1200s to the 1900s. 

The Fasil Ghebbi, nicknamed the “Camelot of Ethiopia,” was the home of Ethiopia’s Emperors in our historical narrative from the 17th-century to the 20th-century.

The Simien Mountains, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, since 1978, are located between the royal city of Gondar and Aksum.

Designated as a National Park in 1966, it is Ethiopia’s largest national park.

The Simien Mountains are described as plateaus separated by valleys and rising to pinnacles.

Said to be of volcanic origin and formed from basaltic lava outpourings between 40- to 25-million years ago, prior to the creation of the Great Rift Valley.

Again, just wondering what we are really looking at here.

They look like more candidates for giant tree stumps!

Next, we come to Aksum, the holiest city in Ethiopia, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1980.

It is in the Tigray National Regional State.

Between 2020 and 2022, the Tigray War took place between the Ethiopian Federal Government and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, during the course of which infrastructure was destroyed, and many war crimes were commited, including mass extrajudicial killings of civilians took place throughout the region, including Aksum.

The conflict in Tigray led to major humanitarian crises, widespread famine, and severe economic damage to the tune of an estimated $20-billion.

Aksum was the capital of the historic Kingdom of Aksum, a naval and trading power that ruled the whole region as well as parts of what is now Saudi Arabia, and Yemen

There are a couple of noteworthy things to mentioned about the ancient city of Aksum.

The first is that it is believed to be the home of the Ark of the Covenant at the Saint Mary of Zion Church, and that the Tablets of Stone upon which the Ten Commandments were inscribed lay inside the Ark.

The Ark is closely guarded by one custodian known as the “Keeper of the Ark,” who is the only person allowed to enter the resting chamber of the Ark.

The keeper is appointed for life and can’t leave the sacred grounds until death.

The next thing that I want to point out is the Northern Stelae Field, or Park, in Aksum.

There are 120 stelae here, each made from a single piece of granite, and standing as high as 82-feet, or 25-meters.

Each stela looks like a building, with intricately carved windows, marked stories, and false doors at the bottom.

These stelae are attributed to having been made as funeral monuments for Aksum’s ancient rulers…

…who were believed to have been buried in tombs beneath the Stelae.

The Great Stela was 108-feet, or 33-meters, -tall, and weighed 573 tons, or 520 metric tons.

This was an explanation I found for what happened to the Great Stela, pictured here.

It was likely the largest monolith humans ever attempted to erect, and that it probably fell down when the attempt was made to erect it.

There’s more than one fallen stela here, like this one that was 29-feet, 9-meters, tall.

What are we actually seeing here with multi-ton monolithic, intricately-carved stelae made from single pieces of granite, with some having fallen, and even broken into pieces, and an partially-above-ground and mostly underground building beneath them?

This is a good place to mention that Aksum was one of the twelve primary nodal points of the Earth’s Grid system.

A nodal point is a place where numerous leylines connect.

Other nodal points include Rapa Nui, best known as Easter Island, where the famous heads were discovered to have bodies…

And Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, said to have the world’s oldest stone megaliths dating back to at least 9500 BC, and the excavation of which started in 1995.

It was first noted in a survey in 1963, and the site was said to have been intentionally backfilled with earth when it was mysteriously abandoned in 8000 BC.

Another example of being covered by earth was the Sphinx on the Giza Plateau in Egypt, just to the northwest of today’s Ethiopia.

It was covered up to its shoulders, as seen in this famous painting of Napoleon Bonaparte before the Sphinx.

The rise of Napoleon starting in 1796, and the Napoleonic Wars between 1799 and 1815, seem to mark a major beginning in the new, reset timeline.

So even the Sphinx needed to be dug out from the sand that surrounded it.

And according this map of the historical Kingdom of Aksum, Mecca on the Red Sea in today’s Saudi Arabia was once part of it.

And historical photos of Mecca show the same situation of being surrounded by desert, “low-rise” buildings, no floors, just soil underneath everything.

I believe there was deliberately-caused, sudden cataclysmic event of directed energy that went through the Earth’s entire grid system, causing the entire surface of the Earth to undulate and rip, creating deserts, swamps, and causing land-masses to shear off and submerge based on what I am finding and seeing., and accounts for how a highly advanced worldwide civilization of giants could be wiped from the face of the Earth and erased from our collective memory.

Historical photos that are available to find on the internet provide evidence that buildingsand rail-lines, among other things, had to be dug out so they could be used once again…

…so the Controllers could usher in their New World Order on the ruins of the Old World, one based on power over Humanity and the Earth’s resources, and they imposed their control matrix over the world through the Earth’s energy grid system that they had removed from collective awareness.

There is clearly something of great historical importance to this region surrounding the Gulf of Aden that has been lost to us and it has been destroyed in every way possible, with great suffering and misery happening to this day.

Knowledge of great value has been taken from Humanity that is exemplified through this region, with it’s biblical and historical importance.

Even old maps of Africa tell a different story than what we have been told!

What’s going on here?!

On the other side of the Gulf of Aden from where we have been looking in South Arabia and east Africa is the Guardafui Channel. 

It is between the Socotra Archipelago and Cape Guardafui.

It connects the Gulf of Aden with the Indian Ocean.

It was named for Cape Guardafui, also known as Ras Asir, which is a headland in the Guardafui Administrative Province of Puntland in Somalia.

The Cape Guardafui lighthouse was said to have been inaugurated in 1930 by Italian Fascist authorities when it was part of Italian Somaliland.

By 1930, the authorities were part of Fascist Italy, which existed under Mussolini’s totalitarian rule as Prime Minister and Dictator between 1922 and 1943.

Ras Hafun juts out into the Guardafui Channel, and is considered the easternmost point in Africa.

Ras Hafun has numerous ruins and structures, and it was believed to be the location of Opone, an old trading emporium serving seemingly the whole world – Africa, Asia, Greece, Rome, and Indonesia, among other places.

It was also known as the center of the world’s spice trade.

Ras Filuk, also known as “Cape Elephant,” is a headland next to the Guardafui Channel.

It has steep cliff walls that jut into the Gulf of Aden.

Ras Filuk is near Alula, the capital of the Bari Region of Puntland.

Alula is situated next a shallow lagoon lined by mangroves, a type of tree that grows in brackish water.

Here is a picture of mangroves covering the coast of this area by Alula on Google Earth.

Mangrove swamps are coastal wetlands characterized by these salt loving trees and shrubs that are typically found in estuaries, where salt water meets freshwater.

So Estuaries have water that is salty, dirty & unpleasant, and there are one or more rivers flowing into it, and a connection to the open sea.

I have been speculating for awhile now from my research that the Earth’s estuaries are actually ruined and sunken land that once had the infrastructure of civilization in it.

One example of this research is found in this blog post.

Recovering Lost History from the Estuaries, Pine Barrens & Elite Enclaves off the Atlantic Northeast Coast of the United States

These are photos from the 1920s of Alula with the same sand-covered appearance as the other places we have been looking at.

But was it always like this?

Our historical narrative sure wants us to believe it was!

Just as an interesting side-note, this region even today produces 33,069,346-pounds, or 1.5-million kilograms per year of different types of frankincense, an aromatic resin used in incense, perfumes, and essential oils, obtained from Boswellia trees.

Medicinal properties of frankincense include anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor properties.

Cape Guardafui was known as “Aromata,” or the cape of spice, due to the abundance of spices it produced, including frankincense, cinnamon, and indian spices.

A word about the spice trade.

Since ancient times, the spice trade has been worth great amounts of money.

The growing of the rarest spices was exactly in this region where we have been looking in southern Arabia and Africa.

In First Kings, Chapter 10, verse 10, we find the Queen of Sheba giving King Solomon gold talents and an abundance of spices.

On the other side of the Guardafui Channel, we find the Socotra Archipelago, which is officially part of Yemen, with Socotra being the largest island.

I first learned about Socotra several years ago when I watched a travel video about it that popped up as a YouTube recommendation for me. 

I looked more into it at the time. 

Otherwise I would never have heard of it before.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008, it is considered of universal importance because of its rich and distinct flora and fauna, most of which are found nowhere else. 

It has also been called the most alien place on earth.

These are the Dragon’s Blood Trees of Socotra, the only place in the world they are found.

It has a dark-red resin, giving this evergreen type of tree its name.

Considered a vulnerable species, they can grow to 30-feet, or 9-meters, in height, and live for 600-years.

Dragon’s blood resin is used for things like dyes, incense, and medicine.

Its medicinal properties include wound healing and digestion, among many others.

There are more anomalous things to find about the Gulf of Aden, but I think I will move along, and leave you with this picture and caption concerning the Gulf of Aden if you wish to research its validity for yourself. 

Just saying this is out there. 

Personally, it wouldn’t surprise me if this is truth. 

As we are seeing, there is so much we haven’t been told about the world we live in, and that is actively kept from our awareness on an on-going basis.

The next place I am going to look at is Mukalla, a port city on the Gulf of Aden in Yemen.

Also called Al-Mukalla and Mukalia, it is the capital of Yemen’s Hadhramaut Governate. 

This is a view of the Mukalla waterfront, with block-shaped rocks in the foreground compared with the block-shaped rocks seen at Lake Chapala near Colima, Mexico.

Interesting to find out that a cyclone named “Chapala” destroyed Mukalla’s waterfront in 2015.

I found this photo of what is called one of the oldest houses in Mukalla. 

Quite an interesting place to build a house.

Mukalla was connected to the historical port of Qana, which was the main Hadhrami trading post between India and Africa.

Incense fields were to the north of here in an area, which were also harvested for trade.

The historic capital of Hadhramaut was Shabwa along the Nabataean “Incense Trade Route,” an ancient network of major land and sea trading routes linking the world with eastern and southern sources of incense, spices and other luxury Goods.

The Hadhrami people had in their culture a tradition of sea-faring and trading. 

The Nabataeans were an ancient people who inhabited the Arabian Peninsula, who were characterized as being nomadic Bedouins who moved from place to place but also were skilled in trade as well.

Interestingly, rock-cut Petra in today’s Jordan was the capital of their nomadic kingdom, and was said to be a regional trading hub for them.

Shibam is located slightly northeast from Mukalla.

The Old Walled City of Shibam, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on the cliff-edge of Wadi Hadhramaut near Mukalla built from mud bricks has been described as the “‘Chicago’ or ‘Manhattan’ of the Desert.”

It is said to be the oldest city in the world using vertical construction techniques, and, like Shabwa, was also a stop on the ancient incense trading route.

This is a photograph of the massive canyon at Wadi Leysar also in the Hadhramaut Province of Yemen, on the left, and it reminded me in appearance of Courthouse Butte in Sedona, Arizona, on the right.

Hadharem, or Hadhrami. is the name of the historic people of the Hadhramaut region.

They are also in diaspora, living in scattered places around the world. 

At one time their presence and influence throughout the Horn of Africa region was significant. 

The Rub Al Khali, otherwise known as the Empty Quarter, is the largest desert in the world. 

It encompasses most of the southern third of the Arabian peninsula.

A recent Saudi Arabian Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, Ali Al-Naimi, reported that the dunes don’t drift – that while sand blows off the surfaces, their essential shape remains intact.

I would not be surprised at all to learn that there is enduring infrastructure underneath all that sand!

The Empty Quarter has been determined to have what would have been the third-largest lake in the world and one of the longest rivers in the world, whose flow would have rivalled the Nile River in Egypt or the Amazon River in South America.

The Shaybah Oil field was discovered in 1968, 25-miles, or 40-kilometers, from the northern edge of the Empty Quarter.

As of May of 2014, it was projected to be able to pump 750,000 barrels/day for the next 70-years.

The Shaybah Oil Field is considered to be one of the most prominent landmarks in the Empty Quarter, and is surrounded by a series of giant, semicircular sand dunes, some of which are 984-feet, or 300-meters, high.

The Incense Trade made its way through this region, and it has been suggested that the lost city of “Iram of the Pillars” depended on such trade.

Its location has been searched for over the years and no place has never been conclusively identified as such.

It intriguingly has the nickname of “Atlantis of the Sands.”

Also, in the process of oil and gas exploration in the Empty Quarter, giant skeletons apparently have turned up from time to time, though you find things like this fact-checked and flagged as hoaxes.

Like for some reason they really don’t want us to know giants existed upon the Earth once upon a time.

The Moreeb Dune is in the Empty Quarter in the United Arab Emirates, not far from the Shaybah Oil Field

It is the tallest dune in the United Arab Emirates, and one of the highest sand hills in the world at 984-feet, or 300-meters, high, with a 50-degree angle from the ground to the top.

Among other things, it is popular for organized car-racing, and other vehicular activities.

Like I was saying, I think there is enduring infrastructure underneath all that sand!

They do the same thing on the dunes at the Little Sahara State Park, near Waynoka, Oklahoma.

Oklahoma was where I first awakened to all of the things I am sharing with you now, about a worldwide, advanced civilization that has been erased from our memory.

Back in the United Arab Emirates, you can even mark a romantic dinner surrounded by sand and dunes off your bucket list when you come on your dream vacation to the Empty Quarter.

There’s always a lot more to find and share anywhere one looks in the world, but I am going to end this post here on the subject of the Gulf of Aden and the modern destruction of ancient Holy Lands here about which we know very little about their glorious past.

The headlines we see today about these ancient Holy Lands are most commonly headlines, for example, like these about the Houthis in Yemen.

This definitely brings to my mind the military blueprint for three world wars that were said to have been contained a letter written by Albert Pike, Sovereign Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite for the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States, to the leader of the Bavarian Illuminati, Giuseppe Mazzini, in 1871.

With regards to the blueprint for World War III, in this letter Albert Pike talked about the Illuminati taking advantage of the differences between Zionist and Islamic leaders so they mutually destroy each other.

Any of this sound familiar to what we know in the present-day?

It sure does to me.

Could all of the conflicts of the 19th- and 20th-centuries been planned, even scripted out, for the Controllers’ desired outcome, which was world control and domination?

I think so.

I decided this would be a good time to pull together research I have done on the past on “Gatekeepers of History,” particularly with regards to institutions in our world that have played a huge role in controlling the flow of information, not only by shaping the narrative, but also in hiding, suppressing or destroying evidence for who and what was here previously, and what happened to everything.

I am bringing this information about the “Gatekeepers of History” forward for your consideration now in light of the very recent developments in Washington and the singling out of the Smithsonian Institution for review, and it will be interesting to see where this goes.

So I am going to start this post with the Smithsonian Institution.

The Smithsonian Institution was established in August of 1846, and was created by the United States government for the stated purpose of the “increase and diffusion of knowledge.”

Nicknamed the “Nation’s Attic,” it has an estimated 154-million items in its holdings, across numerous facilities, and is the largest such complex in the world.

The Smithsonian Castle was the first building of the Smithsonian Institution, and said to have been built on the National Mall in Washington, DC, between 1849 and 1855.

We are told the “brownstone” for Smithsonian castle, also known as “Seneca Red Sandstone,” and numerous buildings and canal locks in the area, came from a big stone quarry at the C&O Canal and Seneca Creek that started operating somewhere around 1781.

This was notated as an 1898 photograph of the quarry.

The Seneca Creek Stone-Cutting Mill at this location was said to have been built in 1868, and used to cut stone for Baltimore and Washington until 1901.

Nowadays, the location designated as the former quarry is overgrown with sycamore trees, poplars, and dense brush, and is impenetrable most of the year.

The Seneca Creek Aqueduct is near the location of the quarry and mill, and was said to have been built between 1829 and 1832 out of the Seneca Red Sandstone of the quarry–almost 40-years before the Stone Cutting Mill was said to have opened.

In West Virginia, US-219 is 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.

It is interesting to note that researchers have long suspected the Smithsonian to have played a role in the cover-up of giants.

Back in the day, giant skeletons were displayed in public places and mentioned in newspaper articles, but all that went away.

On the one-hand, there are reports that the Smithsonian admitted to the destruction of thousands of giant human skeletons in the early 1900s as the result of a U. S. Supreme Court ruling, and on the other hand, there are fact-checkers vigorously debunking this as a satirical claim and false.

The finding of giant human remains was well-documented in the 19th-century, and yet these days, the very existence of giants seems to be vigorously denied, and/or fact-checked as a hoax, when their remains turn-up somewhere.

This topic of where giant remains were found also ties into the location of  infrastructure, like s-shaped river bends, rail and canal among other things, and there are also intriguing correlations between the locations of where some of these these giant remains were found and Civil War battles and events.

Yes, they were reported to be found at mounds, but they were also randomly uncovered when people were digging.

There are also conflicting beliefs expressed in existing documentation about whether or not these giants were advanced or primitive brutes.

Either way, the existence of giants are pushed way back in time, with what happened to them being a mystery, though frequently with the conclusion that they were warring with each other and killed each other off.

This newspaper clip about an almost 7-foot-, or 2-meter-, long skeleton, of massive proportions, was found 12-feet, or almost 4-meters, above a prehistoric mound that was ordered to be removed, in a town just four-miles, or 6-kilometers, west of Huntington.

The article states at the end that “the Smithsonian Institution will be notified of the discovery.”

Here is another publication’s clipping on the subject of giants.

Talking about the Great Lakes Region, it says “Long Before the Indians…it is believed to have been inhabited by a superior people – of whom not even a tradition remans – whose only monuments are earthworks and tumuli, scattered here and there, in some places containing bones from men of gigantic size.”

It goes on to say further “Mounds and relics from these “Mound Builders” were formerly abundant throughout the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys, especially in this section. If a separate race from the Indians, when and by what agency they were destroyed will probably remain a mystery as deep as that of the lost island “Atlantis.”

So this acknowledges the presence of giants here who were Mound Builders, but shrouds what happened to them in mystery, just like the lost Atlantis, saying we don’t know who they were, or really anything about them, except that they were a superior people.

Criel Mound in South Charleston West Virginia, a short distance as the crow flies of of 41-miles, or 66-kilometers, from Huntington.

It was said to have been levelled in 1840 to create a judge’s stand for horse-races that were run around the base of the mound at the time.

We are told it was excavated between 1883 and 1884, and that thirteen-skeletons were found all together, with one of them being documented as having had a height of almost 7-feet, or 2-meters.

The Criel Mound is one of the few surviving mounds of the Kanawha Valley Mounds.

The area extended along the upper terraces of the Kanawha River floodplain for 8-miles, or 13-kilometers, and consisted of 50 mounds and 8 – 10 circular earthworks, as reported by Cyrus Thomas, a prominent ethnologist of the late 19th-century employed by the Smithsonian Institution’s “Bureau of Ethnology,” best known for his work on American mounds.

Along with the tallest skeleton by far being 18-feet, or 5.5 meters, -tall at West Hickory in Pennsylvania which I will talk about shortly, of the ten featured on this graphic, three are generally-located in the vicinity of Huntington, West, Virginia.

Number 10 on the list was found at the Great Serpent Mound, at 7-feet, or a little over 2-meters, -tall; #9 at Cresap Mound in West Virginia at 7-feet, 2-inches, still a little over 2 -meters, – tall; and #6 at Miamisburg, Ohio at a little over 8-feet, or 2.5-meters, -tall.

The Great Serpent Mound is only a distance of 63-miles, or 102-kilometers, northwest of Huntington.

Numerous historical giants’ skeletons have been found in the area around Serpent Mound.

Number 6 of the “Top Ten Giant Discoveries in North America” was found in Miamisburg, Ohio, near the Miamisburg Mound, which is 70-miles, or 113-kilometers, from the Great Serpent Mound in Peebles, Ohio.

The Miamisburg Mound is located next to the S-shaped Great Miami River.

The Miamisburg Mound is the largest conical-shaped earthwork of its kind in the United States.

Silbury Hill, located near the Avebury megalithic complex in Wiltshire in England, is similar in appearance to the Miamisburg Mound, and is the largest mound of its kind in Europe

Number 9 on the Top 10 list in North America was documented to have been found in 1959 by Dr. Donald Dragoo, the Curator for the Section of Man at the Carnegie Museum of Pittsburgh, at Cresap Mound in West Virginia at 7-feet, 2-inches, still a little over 2 -meters, – tall.

Yet Academia still persists in the debunking of the presence of giant humans here!

The Grave Creek Mound is considered to be one of the largest conical mounds in the United States, and first excavated by amateurs in 1838, at which time giant skeletons reported to be as long as 8-feet, or almost 2 and 1/2-meters, -tall were uncovered, but not listed on the top ten giant discovered in North America for some reason.

The Grave Creek Mound just so happens to be smack dab across the street from the West Virginia Penitentiary!

If you are interested in going for a visit, the West Virginia Penitentiary was said to have been built in 1866, one year after the end of the American Civil War, and was decommissioned in 1995.

The location offers prison tours from April to November every year, and paranormal investigations take place here because of its haunted reputation.

The Grave Creek Stone is called West Virginia’s most controversial archeological relic.

It was discovered when the Grave Creek Mound was first excavated in 1838.

Initially it was believed to be some kind of “Indian Hieroglyphs,” but different scholars of the day concluded the characters on the stone resembled a variety of ancient alphabets, including but not limited to that of Celtic, Tunisian, Egyptian and Etruscan.

Other scholars dismissed the Grave Creek Stone as a fraud.

The Smithsonian is said to have four casts of the stone, but the location of the original is said to be unknown.

The characters of the Grave Creek Stone bring to mind those on the Heavener Runestone in east-central Oklahoma, which have been mostly attributed to being the Norse Runes of Vikings that found their way there long ago.

Same thing for the appearance of Old South Arabian, like the inscription found in southern Yemen on the left, compared with Norse Runes on the right.

What if these runes were actually the runes of Vril, or “Life Force,” pictured on the bottom middle, that was connected to the Ancient Humans and their mastery of how to harness natural energy to create amazing things.

Giant skeletons have also been uncovered in the desert sands of southern Arabia in the process of looking for gas and oil, but like everywhere else these days, discoveries like this have been labelled as hoaxes.

Back in West Virginia, in 1857, the almost 11-foot skeleton of a giant was found in the vineyard of the sheriff in East Wheeling, and was on-display there for an unknown period of time.

Looks like the giant skeleton was parked outside of a store in Wheeling displaying an array of skulls and bones!

Now I am going to turn my attention to West Hickory in Pennsylvania, where the tallest recorded skeleton in North America was found, at 18-feet, 5.5-meters.

This article was from the “Oil City Times” from the “Marysville Tribune” of Marysville, Ohio, dated January 26th of 1870.

At the top of the article, it referenced the “Cardiff Giant Outdone” and the alleged discovery of the skeleton of a giant in the oil regions.

So, I looked up the “Cardiff Giant” to find out more about it.

What has come down to us in our historical narrative about the “Cardiff Giant” was that it was one of the most famous archaeological “hoaxes” of all time.

In October of 1869 in Cardiff, New York, workers digging a well behind the barn of William “Stub” Newell, uncovered a 10-foot, or almost 3-meter, -tall, 3,000-pound, or 1,371-kilogram, petrified giant man.

Subsequently, Newell covered the giant with a tent and turned it into a local attraction, drawing a lot of attention from visitors.

This is the story we have been told to explain the Cardiff Giant’s existence.

The hoax was said to have been perpetrated by a New York tobacconist named George Hull, who wanted to fool people as to how easy it would be to create a giant.

The narrative says that in 1868, only three-years after the end of the American Civil War, Hull hired men to quarry a ginormous block of gypsum from Fort Dodge, Iowa, and had it shipped to Chicago to have it sculpted into a giant.

Then Hull had it shipped to the farm of his cousin William Newell in New York in November of 1868, where it was buried in a hole. Then, after almost a year had passed, Newell hired the men to dig the “well” where they found the giant.

The “Cardiff Giant” in short-time was sold to a syndicate, who moved it to Syracuse, New York, for exhibition.

The “Cardiff Giant” garnered a lot of attention, including that of “experts” as well as of P. T. Barnum, who was said to have hired a man covertly to model the giant’s shape in wax in order to make a plaster replica of it after his offer to buy the giant was refused.

P. T. Barnum was a showman, businessman, and politician, who got his start in the “Dime Museum” business in 1841.

Dime museums were most popular in the United States at the end of the 19th-century and beginning of the 20th-century as institutions which provided cheap entertainment for working-class people, and reached their peak in popularity in the time-period between 1890 and 1920, declining in popularity with the rise of Vaudeville and the film industry.

Barnum’s American Museum in Manhattan’s Financial District was known for its strange attractions and performances.

The attractions were a combination of zoo, museum, lecture hall, wax museum, theater, and freak show.

Barnum’s American Museum became a central location in the development of American popular culture, and was filled with things like dioramas; scientific instruments; modern appliances; a flea circus; the “feejee” mermaid; Siamese twins, and other human curiosities.

At any rate, P. T. Barnum was said to have exhibited his plaster giant as the real giant and the Cardiff giant as the fake.

Then, by December of 1869, the “Cardiff Giant” was said to have been exposed as a fraud, and Hull confessed everything to the press, and that by February of 1870, both the Cardiff Giant and Barnum’s giant had been revealed as fakes in court.

The Cardiff Giant, and what we are told was the unauthorized copy of it made by P. T. Barnum, are on display at “Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum” in Farmington Hills, Michigan.

But what if both the Cardiff giant and Barnum’s giant were actually real giants, and not hoaxes as we are told, after all?

The tobacconist George Hull as a hoaxer story gets even stranger!

The “Solid Muldoon” was another petrified giant human body that was unearthed in Beulah, Colorado, and later called a hoax perpetrated by the same guy, George Hull. 

The “Solid Muldoon,” at over 7-feet, or 2-meters, -long was said to have been discovered near Mace’s Hole in Beulah, Colorado, in 1877, 3-months after Hull “created” it, this time from “mortar, rock dust, clay, plaster, ground bones, blood and meat” and kiln-fired before it was buried in the location it was “discovered” three-months later.

The “Solid Muldoon” went on display in Colorado and New York before revealed as a hoax to the New York Times.

So, now let’s see what the 1870 newspaper article has to say with regards to the giant that was found at West Hickory.

Two men excavating near West Hickory in preparation for erecting a derrick first exhumed an enormous rusty helmet of iron…

…and then they unearthed a 9-foot, or almost 3-meter, – long sword.

So they made the hole bigger, and soon came upon the bones of two enormous feet.

After a few hours, they unearthed the well-preserved skeleton of an enormous human.

The bones of the skeleton were described as “remarkably white;” the double- teeth all in place, of extraordinary-size; and that when the giant was alive, he must have stood 18-feet, or 5.5-meters, in stockings.

And lastly, the bones were found about 12-feet, or 3.5-meters, below the surface of a mound, and the mound was not more than 3-feet, or less than a meter, above the level of the ground around it, and the article ended with “Here is another nut for antiquarians to crack.”

Firstly, to put that into perspective, this garage has 12-foot walls, so the giant’s bones were found that far below the surface of a mound, which was another 3-feet higher than the ground.

Secondly, antiquarians are those who study history with a particular attention to artifacts, archaeological and historic sites, and historic archives and manuscripts.

The American Antiquarian Society was established in 1815, said to be a national research library of pre-20th-century American history and culture, and the oldest historical society with a national focus, having been founded in 1812.

Its stated mission is to collect, preserve, and make available for study all printed records of what is known as the United States of America.

Seems like the American Antiquarian Society was established to be a gate-keeper for the new official history, like the aforementioned “Smithsonian Institution” was to become.

Somehow I don’t think the self-described Antiquarians had any intention of “cracking the nut.”

The seal of the American Antiquarian Society translates from the Latin of Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Book 15, Line 872: “Now I have completed my work, which neither sword nor devouring Time will be able to destroy” complete with an illustration of what we have come to consider Greco-Roman architecture and a broken Corinthian pillar at the feet of what appears to be an angel. 

The view of the Philadelphia Museum of Art from the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia is pictured on the right.

West Hickory just happens to be located geographically only 14-miles, or 23-kilometers southeast of Titusville.

Titusville is noteworthy because it was where 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.

Today,the Oil Creek State Park Trail runs on the bed of the first railroad line to reach Titusville, the Oil Creek Railroad.

Then, there is Giant City State Park in Makanda, Illinois.

Giant City State Park in the Shawnee National Forest is located just south of Carbondale in Southern Illinois.

Carbondale was the crossing point of the “Paths of Totality” for both the 2017 & 2024 solar eclipses, locations where the moon’s shadow completely covers the sun, and this part of southern Illinois was and is the “point of greatest eclipse duration,” where the shadow of the moon from the eclipse of the sun lasts the longest.

So it looks like whoever built this ancient advanced civilization new exactly where they were in time and place, both astronomically and terrestrially.

During the American Civil War, the Confederate Army was said to have constructed a fort in Columbus, Kentucky,at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, very close to Cairo, Illinois, and Carbondale, in a part of Illinois nicknamed “Little Egypt.”

Today, Cairo in Illinois is empty and deserted, and considered a ghost town.

In its heyday, Cairo, located right at the confluence of these two great rivers, was an important city along the steamboat routes and railway lines. 

Back in 1861, the Confederacy lost the State of Kentucky, which had wanted to remain neutral until a Confederate Army occupied Columbus, Kentucky, which was supported by President Davis, and Kentucky requested aid from the Union.

A primary attraction at the Columbus-Belmont State Park, the historical location of that fort, are the remains of a mile-long giant chain, and its anchor estimated to weigh between 4- to- 6-tons.

The giant chain was said to have been constructed under the direction of Confederate General Leonidas Polk, who in 1861 had it stretched across the Mississippi River between the fortification in Columbus, and Camp Johnson in Belmont, Missouri.

But apparently this defensive strategy didn’t work too well, as Union troops under then Brigadier-General Ulysses S. Grant occupied the area and took down most of the chain.

So, exactly how do you go about hiding giants and their advanced civilization?

Based on the information I have provided throughout this post and past research, I think the American Civil War was another one of the many ways this was done, and was not what we are told it was about.

In this example of finding correlations between giants and civil war battles, this article on the bones of giant indians near Antietam Creek is on the Library of Congress website.

Titled “Bones Of Giant Indians,” about giant skeletons found in Antietam, Maryland, it was originally published on February 9th of 1898 in the “Juniata Sentinal and Republican” newspaper in Mifflintown in Juniata County, Pennsylvania.

This article implies that the skeletons were found of seven-feet in height, were those of Indians that roamed over the State of Maryland in their wildness, armed with instruments that either nature gave them, or in their limited skill to make.

It further goes on to say that the locality from where these skeletons came near Antietam Creek in Frederick County was supposed to have been the battleground of two tribes of Indians, the Catawabas and the Delawares.

According to this claim, some Catawbas overtook a band of Delawares living at the mouth of the Antietam and annihilated them, but the President of the Maryland Academy of Sciences and Provost of the Peabody Institute, after a careful review of the locality, found that there was no evidence to support this claim of a battle other than some spears and arrowheads found there.

This location of Antietam Creek and the alleged battleground between the two Indian tribes would not have been far in distance from the location of the Battle of Antietam the deadliest one-day battle in American Military History, on September 17th of 1862, with 22,727 dead, wounded, or missing.

We are told that after a long bloody day of fighting and death, the Union Army succeeded in turning back the Confederate invasion of Maryland, and was considered a major turning point in the war in the Union’s favor.

So exactly how was the President of the Maryland Academy of Sciences supposed to find evidence of an historical battle between giant Indians in a place with an even more recent battle, and of this magnitude?

The Peabody Institute mentioned in this article immediately caught my attention.

In 1857, banker, and also called the “Father of Modern Philanthropy,” George Peabody established the Peabody Institute in Baltimore with a bequest of at least $800,000, and it is the oldest conservatory in the United States.

By the time it was completed and opened in 1866, one year after the official end of the American Civil War, it was dedicated by George Peabody himself, and included a music academy, library and art gallery.

That entrance at the east wing of the George Peabody Library sure looks proportionally like its made for much bigger people than we are today!

Next, Bell Systems got its start in 1877 when the first telephone exchange opened in New Haven, Connecticut, and we are told named after Alexander Graham Bell, who was credited with patenting the first telephone, and was one of the co-founders of AT & T in 1885, along with his father-in-law, Gardiner Green Hubbard.

In addition, both men of these men were heavily involved with the founding of the National Geographic Society in January of 1888, which we are told began as an elite club for academics and wealthy patrons for the purpose of “the increase and diffusion of geographical knowledge.”

The Bell Labs complex in Holmdel, New Jersey, was where researchers like Karl Jansky were credited with the discovery of radio waves coming from the Galactic Center and the development of radio astronomy.

The Holmdel Complex, in use by Bell Labs for approximately 44-years starting from around 1962 was called “The Biggest Mirror Ever,” and located near the entrance to lower New York Bay.

Today it is a mixed-use office for high-tech start-up companies, but it started out as a research and development facility for Bell Systems, which became Bell Labs, and the work-place for 6,000 engineers and researchers.

I believe that those behind the reset of Earth’s history and the New World Order deliberately caused a cataclysm via directed energy into the grid system relatively recently, which devastated the surface of the Earth, simultaneously causing the land to undulate and buckle, causing among other things, swamps, bogs, deserts, dunes, and whole land masses to shear-off and submerge under seas and oceans, and that the European colonizers we learn about in our history were exploring and claiming the land of a post-cataclysmic world.

A sudden cataclysmic event, creating swamps, deserts, and even submerging entire landmasses around the Earth, would account for how a highly advanced worldwide civilization of giant could be wiped from the face of the Earth and erased from our collective memory…

Secondly, I believe the beings behind the cataclysm were shovel-ready to dig enough of the original infrastructure out of the ruined Earth so they could be used and civilization restarted, which I think started in earnest in the mid-to-late 1700s and early 1800s.

Then they only used the pre-existing infrastructure until they found replacement fuel sources that could be monetized and controlled by them for what had originally been a free-energy power grid and transportation system worldwide, 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.

I think there was a hostile take-over of the Earth and it’s grid system, which was reverse-engineered as a mind-control and energy-harvesting system.

We’ve been indoctrinated into our present belief systems through our educational systems and cultural offerings…

…which has reinforced the indoctrination through programming in things like movies, television, art, literature and music.

I believe that these beings with a negative agenda devised a complicated plan to knock Humanity off the positive ancient, advanced Moorish timeline of Higher Consciousness in an interdimensional war in order to control Humanity, using Humans as their tools against the Creator and Creation. 

I bring all this up is because it is important to know this is what has been going on here.

Humans are inherently sovereign beings.

They have gone to all of this trouble because, by Universal Law, they can’t lay a finger on us.

They have tricked us into accepting their sovereignty over our own.

But they have to tell us what they are doing so they have our consent.

So they choose avenues like movies, literature, art, and music to tell us without telling us they are telling us, and if we don’t get it and object collectively, then they technicially have our tacit consent even if we don’t know we are being told something, and that is what they are counting on.

So let’s look at some examples from public art.

Firstly, there are two identical sculptures entitled “The Awakening.”

They are of a 72-foot, or 22-meter, statue that depicts a giant embedded in the Earth, struggling to free himself.

One is at National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland.

They consist of 5 aluminum pieces buried in the ground in such a way that it gives the impression of a distressed giant attempting to free himself from the ground…

…with mouth in mid-scream as the giant struggles to emerge from the Earth.

There is an identical sculpture in Chesterfield, Missouri.

I find it interesting to note that the head of the giant in these “Awakening” Sculptures, with the mouth in mid-scream, on the left, looks very much like the mouth in the head of this giant skeleton that was uncovered in Adam’s County, Ohio, near the Great Serpent Mound, on the right.

Secondly, here are some examples of sculptures around London, also very reminiscent of the two “Awakening” sculptures, of buried giants, or giants attempting to free themselves from the ground.

They are putting these sculptures in public places where people can interact with them and accept the as “Art,” without realizing that they might be communicating to us something that has been very well-hidden about the world we are living in.

I don’t believe the giants were hoaxes.

I believe the hoax is on us to hide their very existence from us, especially from not that long ago.

The Controllers have always feared the Great Awakening of Humanity, and thus threw everything they could at us to prevent it from happening and keep us asleep so we would never know what hit us.

But no matter what they do, they can’t keep it from happening. Among many other things, they lost control of the narrative no matter how hard they try to get it back.

What if something very different has been going on here on Earth from what we have always been taught to believe , and that what has been happening is only for the benefit of a very few, and not for the benefit of all, but ?

I have come to the conclusion after years of research that there is much to question in the official history and science that has come down to us as unquestionable truths, and I have pulled many of those research findings together for this post.

Napoleon is famously attributed as saying, “History is a set of lies agreed upon.”

I wholeheartedly agree with that statement, and in this post I will be sharing information and evidence I have found over the years that shed light on what the “set of lies” are in our historical narrative, and who “agreed upon” them.

The original civilization of the Earth was nothing at all like what we have been taught, and though the clues and evidence for the original ancient advanced civilization are everywhere, we just don’t recognize them as such because we have no points of reference for them.

I think it is important to begin this post with some information about how concepts of space and time are viewed in the present-day versus how they were viewed in the past.

The study of geodesy is the science of accurately measuring and understanding the Earth’s shape, orientation in space, and gravitational field.

A geographic coordinate system enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters and symbols, where one of the numbers represents a vertical position from the North-South lines of longitude, and the horizontal position, from the East-West lines of latitude.

What we are told is that in cartography, the science of map-making, a map projection is the way of flattening the globe’s surface into a plane in order to make it into a map, which requires a systematic transformation of the latitudes and longitudes of locations from the surface of the globe into locations on a plane.

But what if the same process is actually happening in reverse for the tools we have available to us in our world, and that the Earth’s surface has been projected from a plane in order to make it into a globe shape by the use of the very same geographic coordinate system, and that it’s exactly the same information in a different projection?

After all, one definition of the word “coordinate” is “to bring different elements into a relationship that will ensure efficiency or harmony;” and another definition of the same word is “a group of numbers used to indicate the position of a point, line, or plane.”

This is a 1482 engraving by Johannes Schnitzer of the “Ecumene,” an ancient Greek word for the inhabited world, and used in cartography to describe a type of world map used in late antiquity and the Middle Ages.

Schnitzer was said to have constructed it from the coordinates in Claudius Ptolemy’s “Geography,” an atlas, and treatise of geography, from 150 AD said to compile the geographical knowledge of the 2nd-century Roman Empire, and a revision of the now-lost atlas of Marinus of Tyre, a Phoenician cartographer and mathematician who was said to have founded mathematical geography, and who introduced improvements to the construction of maps as well as developing a system of nautical charts.

Ptolemy was a second-century mathematician, astronomer and geographer from Alexandria in Egypt who was credited with the only mathematically-sound geocentric model of the solar system, in which everything in the Cosmos orbits around the Earth and not the Sun.

Longitude fixes the location of a place on Earth east or west of a North-South line of longitude called the Prime Meridian, given as an angular measurement that ranges from 0-degrees at the Prime Meridian to +180-degrees westward and -180-degrees eastward.

The Great Pyramid of Giza, which is located at the center of the Earth’s landmass, was the Prime Meridian, until the Prime Meridian was moved in 1851 to the Royal Observatory of Greenwich in London by the British Astronomer Royal at the time, Sir George Biddell Airy.

Carl Munck deciphers a shared mathematical code in his book and YouTube video series called “The Code,” related to the Great Pyramid, in the dimensions of the architecture of sacred sites all over the Earth, one which encodes longitude & latitude of each that cross-reference other sites. 

He shows that this pyramid code is clearly sophisticated and intentional, and perfectly aligned over long-distances.

In October of 1884, the United States hosted the International Meridian Conference, attended by twenty-five countries, in order to determine the Prime Meridian for international use.

Twenty-two of the twenty-five countries in attendance voted to adopt the longitude of the Royal Observatory in Greenwich as the zero-reference line.

The International Meridian Conference was held right before the Otto von Bismarck-organized Berlin Conference, which was convened in November of 1884 and lasted until February of 1885, during which time the entire continent of Africa was carved up between the European powers.

Interestingly, ley-lines were depicted in earlier maps.

The Catalan Atlas of the Majorcan Cartographic School is considered the most important map of the Medieval period in the Catalan language, dated to 1375.

I encountered another old map depicting ley-lines when I was researching for information on Fernando de Noronha, an island group just off the coast of Brazil.

The Cantino Planisphere was said to have been completed by an anonymous Portuguese cartographer some time before 1502.

A planisphere is defined as a map formed by the projection of a sphere, or part of a sphere, on a plane.

In May of 1543, the work “On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres,” of Nicolaus Copernicus was published, offering mathematical arguments for the heliocentric, or sun-centered universe, with the planets of our solar system orbiting around the sun, and denying the geocentric model of the Earth-centered universe of Ptolemy, which the heliocentric model superseded, meaning that while once widely-accepted, current science considered the geocentric model inadequate.

History has it recorded that Copernicus had been seized with “apoplexy and paralysis” at the end of 1542, and that he died on the day he saw the final printed pages of his work, allowing him to say farewell to his life’s work.

It would also seem that the Earth’s ley-lines started to disappear from maps in the 1500s, as Gerardus Mercator, a Flemish geographer, cartographer and cosmographer, published a world map in 1569 that is considered to be the first where sailing courses on the sphere were mapped to the plane map, allowing for a “correction of the chart to be more useful for sailors.”

Here is a close-up section of the 1569 map showing the depiction of straight ley-lines in the seas, but not on land and sea as were present on the flat projections of the Cantino Planisphere and the Catalan Atlas.

Not only that, Gerardus Mercator was also a globe-maker, like this one from 1541, just two-years before Nicolas Copernicus published “On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres” in 1543, with his arguments for the heliocentric universe.

The Erdapfel, which translates from the German as “potato,” was said to be a terrestrial globe produced by Martin Behaim, a German textile merchant and cartographer, between 1490 and 1492, around the time of the Fall of Grenada in Spain, and the first voyage of Christopher Columbus to the New World.

This engraving of him was said to have been done in 1886.

We are told the Erdapfel is the oldest surviving terrestrial globe.

It is a laminated linen ball, constructed in two-halves, reinforced with wood and overlaid by a map painted by Georg Glockendon, pasted on a layer of parchment around the globe.

The German-English geographer and cartographer, Ernst Georg Ravenstein, who was born in Germany in 1834, but spent most of his adult life in England, wrote a book about Martin Behaim and his Erdapfel in 1908, and, as we shall see, Mr. Ravenstein’s name will come up again in more than one reference in this post.

This is Australia showing as “New Holland” on what is known to history as the Coronelli Globe, which was commissioned in 1681.

We are told in our historical narrative that mainland Australia first received the name “New Holland” because the first European who sighted it was a Dutch navigator for the Dutch East India Company in 1606 named Willem Janszoon, who was also a colonial Governor in the Dutch East Indies during the years between 1603 and 1616.

Interestingly, the name “Southern Land” or “Terra Australis” was also used on early European maps of the region.

We are told that “Terra Australis” was a legendary hypothetical continent mentioned since antiquity and appearing on maps between the 15th and 18th centuries.

This information was downplayed and obfuscated in our narrative, but I find this very interesting because I believe we are looking at a substantial amount of sunken landmasses not only here, but all around the world.

We are told that Vincenzo Coronelli became a Franciscan novice in 1665, around the same time as the red-letter year of 1666 in our historical narrative that I talked about previously, and he went on to become an esteemed cosmographer, cartographer and publisher, known in particular for his atlases and globes, and that in 1678 he was commissioned to make a set of terrestrial and celestial globes for the Duke of Parma.

In 1699, he was made Father General of the Franciscan Order. He lived most of his life in Venice and died there in 1718.

We are told in our historical narrative that the Franciscans were members of related-religious orders that were founded by St. Francis of Assisi in 1209, and that Franciscans were at the vanguard of missionary activity in the New World, aimed primarily at bringing the indigenous people of the Americas to Catholicism.

At this point, I think the Franciscans were, like the Jesuits, actually playing a role in advancing the agenda of those behind the New World Order, and probably all Catholic religious orders were for that matter, and that they were actually doing something very different from the pious and holy lifestyle in dedication to God and in service to Humanity that we are taught about them.

The same year that Vincenzo Coronelli became a Franciscan novice in 1665 was also the year given to us in which Sir Isaac Newton had been developing his theory of gravity, and that in 1666, Newton famously observed the falling apple upon which he developed his foundational law that gravity is universal, incorporating the idea that Kepler’s Laws must also apply to the orbit of the moon around the Earth and then to all objects on Earth.

Kepler’s work was said to have improved the 1543 model of Copernicus by introducing more defined terminology for the orbits of the planets around the sun instead of just saying that’s what they do.

Next, I will begin a more in-depth overview of what our narrative tells about our history with the early explorers of the Age of Discovery, which we are told emerged as a powerful factor in European culture and was the beginning of globalization.

It was when I was researching this topic in “Creating the New World from the Old World – Part 3 The Centuries of Exploration” in June of 2020 that I first came to believe that the history about early explorers in school and in our culture is back-filled information and did not really happen as we have been taught.

The primary initiator of the earliest time period of maritime exploration in our historical narrative, known as “The Age of Discovery, was Prince Henry the Navigator, who was said to have been born in 1394.

The fourth child of the Portuguese King John I, he was a central figure in the early days of the Portuguese Empire, and in the 15th-century European maritime discoveries and maritime expansion.

The Portuguese Empire was composed of the overseas colonies and territories governed by Portugal, existing from 1415 with the capture of the port of Ceuta, on the Moroccan-side of the Strait of Gibraltar…

…to the handover of Portuguese Macau to China in 1999, the last remaining dependent state in China and the final vestige of European colonialism in the region, we are told, after 442-years of Portuguese rule.

Macau is designated as an autonomous region on the south coast of China, across the Pearl River Delta from Hong Kong…

…where there is Moorish-looking architecture in Macau on the left that looks like what is found in Madrid, Spain, on the right…

…as well as Venice, Italy, in Macau.

The Venetian Resort in Macau on the left is owned by the American Las Vegas Sands Company, which was said to have opened in 2007 after the main hotel tower was completed.

For comparison, the Bell Tower of St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, said to have been built starting in the early 10th-century, is in the middle, and the Giralda Bell Tower, acknowledged Moorish architecture said to have been first completed in 1198 AD, is on the right.

Interesting to note, the location of Venice in Italy is in coastal wetlands that include salt marshes, mud flats, reed beds and seagrass meadows.

The famous city is situated on 100 small islands in the Venetian lagoon on the Adriatic Sea, with no roads – just canals, and it is well-known that Venice is sinking.

At any rate, Prince Henry the Navigator, who was involved in the capture of Ceuta, took the lead role in promoting and financing Portuguese maritime exploration until his death in 1460.

One last thing about Prince Henry.

Apparently no one used the nickname “the Navigator” during his lifetime, or in the following three centuries.

We are told the term was coined by two 19th-century German historians – Heinrich Schaefer and Gustave de Veer – and that the nickname was popularized by two British authors in the titles of their biographies of Prince Henry.

One was by Richard Henry Major in 1868…

…and the other was by Raymond Beazley in 1895.

I found the nationalities of the authors of Prince Henry’s biographies to be noteworthy, as well as the time-frame within which they were published, in the period of time after which, I have come believe from my research, the New World Order timeline was officially kicked off by Queen Victoria at the Crystal Palace Exposition, which opened on May 1st of 1851.

The next Portuguese explorer to come on the scene was Bartolomeu Dias, a nobleman of the Portuguese royal household.

We are told he sailed around the southernmost tip of Africa, the Cape of Good Hope, in 1488, setting up the route from Europe to Asia later on.

He was also said to be the first European during the “Age of Discovery” to anchor at what is present-day South Africa.

Bartolomeu Dias was the sailing master of the caravel “Sao Cristovao” or “Saint Christopher.”

In 1487, he led a Portuguese exploration expedition down the west coast of Africa of present-day Ghana, known for its gold, petroleum, sweet crude oil, and natural gas.

The Portuguese Gold Coast was the first claim.

The Dutch arrived in 1598 and in 1642, incorporated the Portuguese Territory into the Dutch Gold Coast.

The Dutch East India Company was chartered on March 20th of 1602, when the Dutch government granted it a 21-year monopoly for the Dutch spice trade. 

It was a megacorporation, which is defined as a massive conglomerate (usually private) holding near-monopolistic, if not monopolistic, control over multiple markets.

It has often been labelled a trading or shipping company, but was in fact a proto-conglomerate, diversifying into multiple commercial and industrial activities.

The first formally listed public company by widely issuing shares of stock and bonds to the general public in the early 1600s, it was the world’s most valuable company of all-time, with a worth of $7.9-trillion, and considered by many to be to have been the forerunner of modern corporations.

This was said to be a 1675 map of the Dutch Gold Coast, depicting ley-lines.

Then the Prussians established the Brandenburger Gold Coast in the area in 1682, for less than 50-years, when they sold it to the Dutch in 1742.

The Swedes established settlements on the Swedish Gold Coast starting in 1650, but this state-of-affairs, was said to have only lasted 13-years…

…because in 1663, Denmark seized the Swedish territory, and incorporated it into the Danish Gold Coast.

Then in 1850, all of the settlements became part of the British Gold Coast…

…which remained in British hands in 1885 after the Berlin Conference.

Now back to Bartolomeu Dias.

In the 1487 expedition of Bartolomeu Dias, after the caravel left the Portuguese Gold Coast, the crew sailed to Walvis Bay, the name of the location in modern Namibia, the name of the location in modern Namibia with its decidedly geometric- and man-made-looking shape.

After encountering violent storms along the way, the ship eventually rounded the Cape of Good Hope, the name it received from King John II of Portugal because it represented an opening of a route to the East.

The expedition ended up not going any further, and set sail back for Portugal, returning to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, in 1488.

Not only did I find the German-English geographer and cartographer, Ernst Georg Ravenstein, come up  in association with a biography of Bartolomeu Dias…

… he also published “A Journal of the First Voyage of Vasco Da Gama” in 1898, the next Portuguese explorer of note, who made it to India in a journey between 1497 and 1499.

Ravenstein was said to have translated what was called the only known copy of a journal believed to have been written on-board ship during Vasco da Gama’s voyage to India.

We are told that Vasco da Gama’s first voyage to India was the first link to Europe and Asia by an ocean route.

He was said to have landed in Calicut on May 20th of 1498.

This was said to be a steel engraving from the 1850s of the meeting between the King of Calicut and Vasco da Gama, which apparently didn’t yield the favorable results the Portuguese explorer desired, as it failed to yield the commercial treaty with Calicut that was da Gama’s principal mission.

Regardless of the failure to secure a commercial treaty with the King of Calicut, we are taught that Vasco da Gama’s voyage to and from India led to the yearly Portuguese India Armadas, fleets of ships organized by the King of Portugal dispatched on an annual basis from Portugal to India…

…and 6-years after da Gama’s initial arrival in 1498, the Portuguese State of India was founded.

Portugal’s unopposed access to the Indian spice trade routes boosted the economy of its empire, and maintained a commercial monopoly on spice commodities for several decades.

We are taught that Vasco da Gama’s discovery of the sea route to India was what enabled the Portuguese to establish a long-lasting colonial empire in Asia.

It was considered a milestone in world history and the beginning of a sea-based phase of global multiculturalism.

In our historical narrative, the Treaty of Tordesillas of 1494 divided the newly discovered lands outside Europe between the Portuguese Empire and the Spanish Empire (Crown of Castile), along a meridian 370 leagues west of the Cape Verde Islands, with Spain claiming lands to the west of it and Portugal lands to the east of it.

This was a year after Pope Alexander VI issued the Inter Cetera Papal Bull, which authorized the land grab of the Americas.

This papal bull became a major document in the development of subsequent legal doctrines regarding claims of empire in the “New World” and assigned to Castile in Spain the exclusive right to acquire territory, to trade in, or even approach the lands laying west of the meridian situated one-hundred leagues west of the Azores and Cape Verde Islands, except for any lands actually possessed by any other Christian prince beyond this meridian prior to Christmas, 1492.

The year of 1492 was the year Christopher Columbus first set-sail and also the same year as the Fall of Grenada, which took place on January 2nd of 1492, and which effectively ended Moorish rule in Spain when Muhammad XII surrendered the Emirate of Grenada to King Ferdinand of Aragon and Queen Isabella of Castile.

A papal bull is an official papal letter or document, named after the leaden seal, or bulla, used to authenticate it.

They figure prominently in the effort to authenticate what has taken place on earth in the historical narrative we have been taught.

Then, 35-years later, the Treaty of Zaragoza was signed, which specified the Antimeridian to the line of demarcation specified by the Treaty of Tordesillas, defining the areas of Spanish and Portuguese influence in Asia.

St. Francis Xavier, a co-founder of the Jesuits, along with St. Ignatius of Loyola, was a representative of the Portuguese Empire in Asia, and noteworthy for his so-called “evangelization” work in Portuguese India.

In our historical narrative, it was St. Francis Xavier who called for the establishment of the “Goan Inquisition” in India to enforce Catholic Orthodoxy and allegiance to the Pope.

It was particularly known for imprisonment, torture, death penalties, and intimidating people into exile.

We are taught that Pope Paul III issued a papal bull forming the Jesuit Order in 1540, under the leadership of Ignatius of Loyola, a Basque nobleman from the Pyrenees in Northern Spain, about the same time that Nicolas Copernicus was publishing “On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres” in 1543, with his arguments for the heliocentric universe, Gerardus Mercator was making a globe in 1541.

The Jesuit Order included a special vow of obedience to the Pope in matters of mission direction and assignment.

Whoever the Jesuits and the Freemasons were are at the top of my list of suspects for who was primarily responsible for giving us our new, fabricated historical narrative.

We shall see more examples in support of this belief throughout this post.

Two years after the Jesuits were established, in the year of 1542, we are told Pope Paul III established the Holy Office, also known as the Inquisition and the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

Pedro Alvares Cabral, a Portuguese nobleman, military commander, navigator and explorer, was a contemporary of Vasco da Gama in our historical narrative.

Cabral was said to have led a fleet of thirteen ships into the western Atlantic Ocean, and made landfall in what we know as Brazil in 1500.

As the new land was in the Portuguese sphere according to the 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas, Cabral claimed it for the Portuguese Crown.

He explored the coast, and realized, we are told, that the large land-mass was most likely a continent, and dispatched a ship to notify the Portuguese King, Manuel I of the new territory.

The land Cabral had claimed for Portugal later became known as Brazil on the continent of South America.

Then from Brazil, Cabral turned his fleet eastward to sail to India.

He was said to have lost seven of his thirteen ships in a storm in the southern Atlantic Ocean.

The remains of Cabral’s fleet regrouped in the Mozambique Channel, located between the East African country of Mozambique and the island of Madagascar.

Mozambique had become a Portuguese colony in 1498 as a result of Vasco da Gama’s first voyage, and is known for what is described as its Portuguese colonial architecture.

Here are some examples from Maputo, the capital of Mozambique.

We accept the idea that the colonial Portuguese built infrastructure like this because it is what we have been taught.

At the same time we are taught that the indigenous people of Mozambique were the San, who were hunter-gatherers, and we can’t even imagine that they were the builders of this magnificent architecture because of the vastness of the deception that has been perpetrated on Humanity.

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

From the Mozambique Channel, Cabral’s fleet sailed to Calicut in India, at which time Cabral was said to have been attacked by Muslims stirred up by Arab traders who saw the Portuguese venture as a threat to their monopoly.

Cabral was said to have retaliated, with his men looting and burning the Arab fleet at Calicut, and he sailed onto the Kingdom of Cochin, befriended its ruler, founded the first European settlement in India at Kochi, and loaded his ships with coveted spices before returning to Portugal.

After his return, Cabral’s voyage was deemed a success, in spite of the loss of ships and lives, and we are told the extraordinary profits resulting from the sale of the spices he brought back with him helped lay the foundation of the Portuguese Empire.

Interestingly, apparently after that, Cabral slipped into obscurity for 300 years, until the 1840s that is, when the Brazilian Emperor Dom Pedro II sponsored research and publications dealing with Cabral’s life and expeditions.

Dom Pedro II did this through the Brazilian Historical and Geographic Institute, which was founded in 1838, and part of the emperor’s plan to foster and strengthen a sense of nationalism among Brazil’s diverse citizenry.

Petropolis is the name of a German-colonized mountain town 42-miles, or 68-kilometers, north of Rio de Janeiro.

Called the “Imperial City,” the Emperor Pedro II was said to issue an imperial decree ordering the construction of a settlement to be formed, with the arrival of German immigrants, as well as for the construction of his summer palace there, with the cornerstone said to have been laid in 1845, and that it was built by 1847.

Interesting edifice, and intriguing blue glow of its steeple, in Petropolis.

The first cinema was said to have opened in Petropolis in 1897, showing the Lumiere Brothers first films.

The Lumiere Brothers premiered ten short films in Paris on December 28th of 1895, considered the breakthrough of projected cinematography, meaning pertaining to the art or technique of motion picture photography.

Marcus Loew was a pioneer of the motion picture industry.

He founded Loew’s Theaters in 1904, the oldest theater chain operating in the United States until it merged with AMC Theaters in 2006, and he was a founder Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios in 1924.

A poor young man made good, he was born into a poor Jewish family in New York City. His parents were immigrants from Austria and Germany.

He had to work from a young age and had little formal education.

We are told he was able to save enough money from menial jobs to buy into the penny arcade business as his first business investment.

Important to note that the birth of the viable interactive entertainment industry in 1972 resulted from the coin-operated entertainment business, which had well-developed manufacturing and distribution channels around the world, and computer technology that had become cheap enough to incorporate into mass market entertainment products.

The year of 1972 was the year that Magnavox released the world’s first home video game console, the Magnavox Odyssey.

While there were other less well-known video arcade games released around 1972, the first block-buster video arcade game was “Space Invaders,” responsible in 1978 for starting what is called the “Golden Age of Video Arcade Games.”

So there is a direct connection through time between penny arcade games and video arcade games.

Not long after buying into the penny arcade business, Loew purchased a nickelodeon in partnership with Adolph Zukor.

A Nickelodeon was a type of indoor exhibition space dedicated to showing projected motion pictures.

His first nickelodeon partner, Adolph Zukor, who along with Marcus Loew, was one of the founders of Paramount Pictures, which was formed in 1912.

Next of the early explorers, Ferdinand Magellen was a Portuguese explorer who organized the Spanish expedition, which started in 1519 and ended in 1522, to the Spanish East Indies, a fleet known as the “Armada de Molucca” to reach the Spice Islands, and said to have resulted in the first circumnavigation of the earth.

Magellan was said to have been killed in the Philippines in the Battle of Mactan on April 27th of 1521, and a Basque-Spanish explorer by the name of Juan Sebastian de Elcano was said to have completed the expedition after Magellan’s death, from the Moluccas and back to Spain.

I found a biography about Magellan written by an Austrian novelist, playwright, journalist and biographer named Stefan Zweig, who was born in Vienna in 1881, and died, along with his wife, of all places in Petropolis, Brazil in 1942, we are told from barbituate overdoses.

Back to the Moluccas.

The Moluccas that Juan Sebastian de Elcano reached and sailed back to Spain from are also known as the Spice Islands, because of the nutmeg, spice, and cloves that were exclusively found there, the presence of which sparked extreme colonial interest from Europe in the 16th-century.

So much so, that the Dutch-Portuguese War between 1601 and 1663 was also known as the Spice War, the commodity at the center of the conflict.

Beginning in 1602, the conflict was said to have primarily involved the Dutch companies invading Portuguese colonies in the Americas, Africa, India, and the Far East.

The Dutch-Portuguese War was said to have served as a way for the Dutch to gain an overseas empire and control trade at the cost of the Portuguese.

Other notable explorers from the first “Age of Discovery” included:

Giovanni da Verrazzano was said to be a Florentine explorer, in the service of the French King Francis I, and credited with being the first European to explore the Atlantic Coast of North America between Florida and New Brunswick between 1523 and 1524.

This included New York Bay, where the Verrazzano Narrows and Bridge forever enshrine his memory, with Fort Hamilton on the Brooklyn-side and Fort Wadsworth on the Staten Island-side.

Verrazano also explored Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay in 1524, and he even gave Rhode Island its name, we are told, when he was said to have likened an island near the mouth of Narragansett Bay to the Island of Rhodes.

The island of Rhodes is the largest of the Dodecanese Islands in the Mediterranean Sea pictured here.

The City Gate of the Island of Rhodes is on the right.

What kinds of things do we find in Rhode Island in the United States.

Well, for one, the Narragansett Twin Towers, what is said to be the remnant of the Narraganset Pier Casino said to have been built in the 1880’s.

…and for another at Waterplace Park in downtown Providence, where there is the presence of megalithic masonry.

The park was said to have been finished in 1994.

The meaning of megalith is a large stone used in construction, typically associated with Peru and Egypt, but actually found everywhere around the world. Here is another megalithic wall at Waterplace Park.

The Narragansetts are an Algonquin people whose land is now Rhode Island. Here is an historic photo of the Narragansett.

We are told that the book “Verrazano’s Voyage Along the Atlantic Coast of North America, 1524,” was reproduced from an original artifact that was written by Giovanni da Verrazzano himself.

It was published in 1916, with an introduction by Edward Hagaman Hall, a New York State historian who was born in 1858 and died in 1936.

Edward Hagaman Hall also published a book about Jamestown, Virginia in 1902.

What I remember about Jamestown, which I visited with my parents when I was 6-years-old on a trip to Williamsburg in 1969, is that it was supposed to have looked something like this, and that when the colonial capital was moved to Williamsburg in 1699, Jamestown was said to have ceased to exist as a settlement.

These brick masonry ruins are in Jamestown…

…even though the attention of tourists is drawn to the living history museum there.

It is interesting to note that when I was doing research on Expositions and World Fairs awhile back, I came across the 1907 Jamestown Exposition, said to have commemorated the 300th-anniversary of the founding of Jamestown in the Virginia Colony.

It was held on Sewell’s Point at Hampton Roads in Norfolk, Virginia.

Sewell’s Point is the location of Norfolk Naval Base in today’s world.

Next, Henry Hudson was said to have been an English navigator and explorer during the early 17th-century, best known for his explorations of parts of the northeastern United States and Canada.

Between 1607 and 1611, he was engaged by various trading companies to sail to the Far North to find another way to Asia, via either the Northeast Passage or Northwest Passage.

We are told that in 1609, Henry Hudson was chosen by Dutch East India Company merchants to find an easterly passage to Asia.

His attempts to go in an eastward direction were said to have been blocked by ice in northern Norway, so he decided to go west and find a northerly passage through North America.

His ship, the Half Moon, travelled down the coast, from LaHave in Nova Scotia; to Cape Cod; to the Chesapeake Bay; to Delaware Bay; then New York Bay…

…and the river which bears his name, New York’s Hudson River.

Then Henry Hudson received backing from the Virginia Company and British East India Company in 1610, and sailed north to Iceland and Greenland in his new ship, the “Discovery,” and then across the Labrador Sea to what is now the Hudson Strait at the northern tip of Labrador, and through when he entered the Hudson Bay.

Hudson met his death in the James Bay region of the Hudson Bay, when his crew mutinied, and sent him, his son, and 7 crew members adrift in a small boat with limited supplies.

Did Henry Hudson happen to have anything thing published about him in the late 19th-century, early 20th-century?

I found this 1909 publication about Henry Hudson by Thomas Allibone Janvier, described as an American story-writer and historian, who was born in 1849 and died in 1913.

What was called a replica of Henry Hudson’s ship the “Half Moon” was said to have been built in 1912 and moored at the dock of the Bear Mountain State Park on the Hudson River.

With regards to the history of this park, this is what we are told.

In January of 1909, the State of New York purchased a 740-acre tract of land at Bear Mountain, with plans to build Sing-Sing Prison there, but conservationists stopped the prison from being built.

Later that year, the newly-widowed Mary Averell Harriman, wife of Union Pacific Railroad President and American Financier Edward Henry Harriman who died in September of 1909, offered the state another 10,000 acres – and $1,000,000 – towards the creation of a state park.

American Progressive politician and businessman George W. Perkins, a partner in the J. P. Morgan Company and President of the Palisades Interstate Commission since 1900, with whom Mary Harriman had been working, managed to raise another $1.5-million from a dozen wealthy contributors, including John D. Rockefeller and J. P. Morgan.

The state matched the contributions with a $2.5-million appropriation, and Bear Mountain-Harriman State Park came into being in 1910, and managed by the Palisades Interstate Commission, which was formed in 1900 by New York Governor Theodore Roosevelt and New Jersey Governor Foster Vorhees, for the stated reason of stopping the quarrying activities along the Palisades Cliffs of New Jersey.

In 1931, the Brown Brothers, originating from the first investment banking firm in the United States in 1800, merged with the Harriman Brothers & Company, a private bank started with railway money, to become known as the “Brown Brothers Harriman & Company,” one of the oldest and largest private investment banks in the United States.

Founding partners of the “Brown Brothers Harriman & Company” included W. Averill Harriman, the son of railroad baron E. H. Harriman and Mary Harriman, and Secretary of Commerce under President Harry S. Truman…

…and Prescott Bush, American banker and politician, and the father of President George H. W. Bush.

Another Harriman, E. Roland Harriman AKA “Bunny,” was the Chairperson of the Board of Governors of the American Red Cross from 1950 to 1973.

Prescott Bush and Roland Harriman attended Yale University at the same time, where they were both members of the “Skull and Bones” Society.

Also, thus far in the series I have been recently doing on the Great Lakes Region of North America, I have found that there was a pervasive Jesuit and Franciscan presence all over Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, and Lake Huron in our historical narrative.

When I was looking for information on the Huron people, I found out that they were mentioned in the chronicles of Jesuit Missions in New France from 1632 to 1673 called “The Jesuit Relations,” which were said to be reports from missionaries in the field to update their superiors on their progress in converting them.

This report was said to be from Gabriel Sagard in 1632 with regards to the country of the Hurons.

Sagard was a French Franciscan lay brother known for being one of the earliest missionaries to New France.

This passage from 1639 in the “Jesuit Relations” describes the Hurons as robust and tall, and wearing beaver skins, necklaces and bracelets of porcelain, and grease their hair and paint their faces.

We are told the European history of St. Ignace in Michigan on the Straits of Mackinac on the southern end of the Upper Peninula across from Mackinaw City on the Upper end of the Lower Peninsula began when the French Jesuit explorer Father Jacques Marquette founded the St. Ignace Mission here in 1671, and named it after St. Ignatius of Loyola, a founder of the Jesuit Order like the previously-mentioned St. Francis Xavier, infamous for the Goan Inquisition in India.

Father Jacques Marquette was said to have been buried in St. Ignace after his death in 1675.

This is the marker for his gravesite.

It is also the location of the Father Marquette National Memorial, which was established in December of 1975 to pay tribute to his life and work.

Father Marquette’s presence can be found in many places throughout the Great Lakes Region, particularly on Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, and where the St. Mary’s River and the Straits of Mackinac connect to Lake Huron.

We are told the city of Charlevoix in Michigan was named for the Jesuit explorer Pierre Francois Xavier de Charlevoix, who stayed the night during a storm near his namesake city some time in the 1720s.

The Ottawa and Ojibwe peoples lived throughout northern Michigan prior to the arrival of the Jesuits and the European colonizers.

The Jesuit explorer Charlevoix was known for the journal record he kept of his exploration of New France in present-day Canada and the United States first published in 1744 as the “History and General Description of New France.”

Also for another example in our historical narrative, the Kewaunee area of Wisconsin was visited by the French Jesuit explorer Father Jacques Marquette in 1674, where he was said to have celebrated “All Saints Day” at the Potawatomi village there at the time, though this is in the traditional lands of the Menimonee people.

Later in 1679, the French explorer LaSalle visited there, and in 1698, the Canadian Jesuit Jean-Francois Buisson de Saint-Cosme stopped by.

We are told the United States acquired this land from the Menominee Nation in the 1831 Treaty of Washington, in which the Menominee ceded 2,500,000-acres, or 1,011,714-hectares, of their land in Wisconsin primarily adjacent to Lake Michigan.

We are taught from cradle-to-grave that the indigenous people of this land were uncivilized tribes of hunter-gatherers.

This is a painting by an artist named Paul Kane, who died in 1871, called “Fishing by Torchlight,” of the Menominee spearfishing at night by torchlight and canoe on the Fox River.

Yet we find architecture of heavy masonry like the Mabel Tainter Memorial Theater here in the city of Menomonie, Wisconsin, 237-miles, or 381-kilometers, to the northwest of Milwaukee, said to have been built in 1889…

…that looks like the acknowledged Moorish architecture of the Alhambra in Grenada, Spain, on the inside.

It is my conclusion that publications like these and many others I have come across in my research were setting the stage in seeding the new historical narrative into our collective consciousness by those responsible for the hijack of the original positive civilization that built all of Earth’s infrastructure, and that it is fabricated and backfilled history.

They want us to believe that they built everything and that the indigenous people around the world were primitive hunter-gatherers instead of being the actual builders of a highly advanced, ancient worldwide civilization that was wiped off the face of the Earth by the deliberately-caused destruction of the original free-energy grid system of this civilization.

Since this is not in our historical narrative, we don’t even question what we are told about it being built by other cultures or civilizations, and believe that the indigenous people were in fact primitive hunter-gatherers without hesitation.

At some point, possibly the mid-to-late 1700s, I believe history became real with the world’s new controllers written into it, and along these lines, I think the explorers of the Age of Exploration in the 1800s actually existed, when we are told a new era of scientific maritime exploration commenced in the 1800s, but not for the reasons we have been given.

I believe these explorations and others that took place primarily from the beginning of the 1800s to around 1850 or so were of a post-cataclysmic world, in which different European countries were engaged in exploring and claiming landmasses for their respective countries, and also remote islands and island groups all over the Earth that were actually the remnants of giant trees and sunken landmasses, and annexing them as “Overseas Countries, Territories and Outermost Regions.”

As a result of this process of colonization of the entire surface of the Earth, seemingly insignificant islands and island groups were the subjects of territorial disputes between countries, most of which are still on-going in the present day.

All of these places and islands are viewed as highly-coveted prizes, and as a critical part to nation-building plans.

Why?

I definitely think there is much more to the story that we are not being told, especially with regards to the once-existence of giant trees on Earth that were integral to the Earth’s original energy grid system, and the reason has been deliberately hidden from our view.

I have come to believe as a result of my research that the giant trees were generating the Earth’s magnetic field.

Our current scientific paradigm tells us that the Earth’s magnetic field is generated through a process known as “geodynamo” by electric currents due to the motion of convection currents of a mixture of Earth’s molten iron and nickel in Earth’s outer core and connected to the Earth’s rotational axis, and for which we are given no other explanation and that we have seen enshrined in the work of Copernicus, Kepler and Newton.

Explorers like Alexander von Humboldt, a Prussian naturalist, who was a pioneer of the fields of biogeography and geomagnetism, and an explorer of the Americas between 1799 and 1804, starting with an exploration of Mount Teide on Tenerife in the Canary Islands.

Alexander von Humboldt was considered one of the founders of the science of geomagnetism, having studied in great detail the systematic change of magnetic field strength with distance from the equator and initiated synchronized magnetic field observations across the Earth, and he made significant contributions to the charting of the Earth’s geomagnetic field.

In this world map of his, von Humboldt measured “isodynams” between 1790 and 1830.”

The prefix “iso-” means “equal, like, or similar” and the definition of isodynam, or isodynamic, is connecting points on the Earth’s surface that connects points of equal horizontal magnetic intensity

Was Humboldt measuring and mapping ancient giant tree locations?

I think so.

Humboldt University in Berlin was named after Alexander von Humboldt and his brother Wilhelm.

It was first opened in 1810, and was regarded as one of the world’s pre-eminent universities in the study of Natural Sciences in the 1800s and 1900s.

Famous faculty and alumni included such famous names in our current historical narrative as: the theoretical physicist Albert Einstein; Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, c0-collaborators on “The Communist Manifesto;” Otto von Bismarck, first Chancellor of the German Empire; Georg Hegel, whose philosophy gave us the “Hegelian Dialectic” of Problem-Reaction-Solution; and the Brothers Grimm, best-known for their dark fairy tales.

Then between 1801 and 1803, Capt. Matthew Flinders led the first in-shore complete navigations around mainland Australia.

We are told the Louisiana Purchase was the acquisition of the Territory of Louisiana by the United States from France with the signing of the Louisiana Purchase Treaty on April 30th of 1803, which was officially announced on July 4th of 1803.

It was said to have doubled the size of the United States and paved the way for the nation’s westward expansion, and paved the way for the Lewis and Clark Expedition, also known as the Corps of Discovery, which took place between 1803 and 1806.

Meriwether Lewis had returned from the Lewis & Clark Expedition in 1806; was made Governor of Louisiana Territory in 1807 by Thomas Jefferson; and had made arrangements to publish his Corps of Discovery Journals.

For a point of information, he was initiated into freemasonry between 1796 and 1797, from where he was born and raised in Ablemarle County, Virginia Colony, shortly after he joined the United States Army in 1795.

Being Governor of the Louisiana Territory didn’t work too well for Lewis for a variety of reasons, and on September 3rd of 1809, he set out for Washington, DC, to address financial issues that had arisen as a result of denied payments of drafts he had drawn against the War Department when he was governor…and he carried with him his journals for delivery to his publisher.

He decided to go overland to Washington instead of via ship by way of New Orleans, and stayed for the night at a place called Grinder’s Stand, an inn on the historic Natchez Trace, southwest of Nashville, Tennessee.

Gunshots were heard in the early morning hours, and he was said to have been found with multiple gunshot wounds to the head and gut.

His remains were interred here at Grinder’s Stand.

We are told that Thomas Jefferson and some historians generally accepted Lewis’ death as a suicide.

What did he know?

Who would have wanted him silenced?

What happened to his journals?

Did someone nicely get them along to his publisher for him as written?

In August of 1822, Jules Dumont d’Urville set out from France on an expedition to collect scientific and strategic information, on a ship named originally La Coquille, and sailed to the Falkland Islands; the coasts of Peru and Chile in South America; New Guinea; New Zealand and Australia.

The expedition carried out research in the fields of botany and insects, bringing back thousands of specimens to the Natural History Museum in Paris.

Then, 1826, Dumont d’Urville departed on La Coquille, now called L’Astrolabe, or the Astrolabe, named for a navigational device. for a three-year voyage to New Zealand; Fiji; the Loyalty Islands; New Guinea; the Solomon Islands, Caroline Islands, and the Moluccas in eastern Indonesia.

In 1837, Dumont d’Urville set out yet again on the Astrolabe for the South Orkney Islands in the Southern Ocean; the Marquesas Islands; Tasmania; along the coast of Antarctica, at which time he claimed land on January 21st of 1840 for France, and considered it his most significant achievement.

He named it Adelie Land after his wife Adele.

He then sailed onto New Zealand; the Torres Strait; Reunion Island; and St. Helena island, and returning to France later in 1840.

He was promoted to Rear Admiral upon his return, and he wrote a report of the expedition, which was published between 1841 and 1854 in 24 volumes.

Like with Meriwether Lewis, an interesting side-note about Dumont d’Urville’s life was his death – he and his entire family were killed in the first ever rail disaster in France in May of 1842, called the Versailles Rail Accident, in which the train’s locomotive derailed, the wagons rolled, and the coal tender ended up at the front of the train and caught fire.

This was said to be a painting of the incident.

The U. S. Exploring Expedition was another exploring and surveying expedition of the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding lands, conducted by the United States between 1838 and 1842.

The expedition was described as of major importance to the growth of science in the United States, and that during the events of its occurrence, armed conflict between Pacific Islanders and the expedition was common, and dozens of natives were killed, as well as a few Americans.

It involved a squadron of four ships, with specialists on each including naturalists, botanists, a mineralogist, a taxidermist, and a philologist, which is someone who studies written and oral histories.

It is sometimes referred to as the “U. S. Ex. Ex.” or “Wilkes Expedition,” after the commanding officer, Navy Lt. Charles Wilkes.

The ships of the Wilkes Expedition was said to have departed from Hampton Roads in Virginia for the first stop in the Madeira Islands off the coast of Africa on August 18th, 1838.

The routes of the expedition went something like this – all over the place.

The squadron of ships pretty much sailed together, at different rates of speed, from their first stop at Madeira, to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil; Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip of South America; Valparaiso in Chile; Callao in Peru; the islands of Tahiti, and Samoa, in the South Pacific; Sydney in Australia; Antarctica, which they arrived at and “discovered” on January 16th of 1840, just mere days before the completely different expedition of Dumont d’Urville’s claimed land on Antarctica on January 21st of 1840; and then, by way of Fiji, to the Sandwich Islands (otherwise known as the Hawaiian Islands), before returning to the United States. The ships did break-off into pairs on occasion to explore different places in the same general location.

Then there were the voyages of the HMS Beagle, originally a Cherokee class 10-gun boat of the British Royal Navy, said to have set off from the Royal Dockland of Woolwich at the River Thames on May 11th of 1820.

The HMS Beagle’s first voyage was between 1826 and 1830, accompanying the larger ship, HMS Adventure, on a hydrologic survey of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, under the overall command of the Australian Navy Captain, Phillip Parker King.

The second voyage of the HMS Beagle, between 1831 and 1832, was joined by naturalist Charles Darwin, on a second trip to South America, and then around the world.

Charles Darwin kept a diary of his experiences, and rewrote this as a book titled “Journal and Remarks,” becoming published in 1839 as “The Voyage of the Beagle.”

It was in “The Voyage of the Beagle” that Darwin developed his theories of evolution through common descent and natural selection.

The third voyage of the HMS Beagle took place between 1837 and 1843, and was a third surveying voyage to Australia, stopping on the way at Tenerife in the Canary Islands; Salvador on the coast of Brazil in Bahia State; and Cape Town in South Africa. I have found all three of these places on the Earth’s ley-lines.

In Australia, the crew surveyed Western Australia, starting in what is now Perth, to the Fitzroy River; then both shores of the Bass Strait in Australia’s southeast corner; then north to the shores of the Arafura Sea, across from Timor.

In 1845, the HMS Beagle was refitted as a Coast Guard watch vessel in Essex, in the navigable waters beyond the Thames Estuary, moored in the middle of the River Roach, until oyster companies and traders petitioned to have it removed in 1851, citing the vessel was obstructing the river and its oyster beds.

The Navy List shows that on May 25th of 1851, the Beagle was renamed “Southend ‘W.V. No. 7′” at Paglesham, and sold in 1870 to be broken-up.

Next the role of famous authors of classic literature.

Here, I am going to “cross-the-pond” to take a look at some examples from the literature of Charles Dickens in Great Britain and Victor Hugo in France to look for the same human and social conditions there that existed in the United States during the same time period through the lenses of these two literary giants and their classics.

First, Charles Dickens.

We are toldCharles Dickens was born in February of 1812, and died in June of 1870, at the relatively young age of 58.

He created some of the world’s best known fictional characters, and is regarded by many is the greatest novelist of the Victorian-era.

In spite of having no formal education after having left school to work in a factory because his father was in Debtors’ Prison, he edited a weekly journal for 20-years; wrote 15 novels; 5 novellas; and hundreds of short stories and articles.

He’s one of many famous and incredibly accomplished people I have come across in my research said to have little or no training in their respective fields, including art and architecture.

Amongst his earliest efforts, “Sketches by Boz ~ Illustrative of Every Day Life and Every Day People” became a collection of short pieces Dickens published between 1833 and 1836 in different newspapers and periodicals.

The work is divided into four sections: “Our Parish,” “Scenes,” “Characters,” and “Tales.”

So…Charles Dickens’ first published work involved illustrations, of visual imagery forming our perceptions of what life was like at that time.

This concept was further evolved when he agreed to a commission in 1836 to supply the description necessary for the “Cockney sporting plates” of illustrator Robert Seymour for a graphic novel, a book made up of comics content, for serial publication.

This was how the “Pickwick Papers” came about, first published in serial form, and called his first literary success.

And who exactly was the target audience for the highly visual and cartoon-like nature of this early work?

Like maybe a younger audience, perhaps?

Dickens certainly wrote a lot of books featuring orphans, like “Oliver Twist,” first published in installments between 1837 and 1839 about a boy who was born and raised in the punitive and abusive workhouse system…

…which was established with the British Parliament’s Poor Law Act of 1834, where there was no cash or material support given, and the only option for those who lived there was hard work and forced labor inside the workhouse in exchange for meager sustenance.

Homes were broken up, belongings sold, and families separated.

Within a few years, Charles Dickens had become an international celebrity, and pioneer of the serial publication of narrative fiction, which became the dominant Victorian mode for novel publication, featuring cliffhanger endings.

Maybe geared for an older, literate and mature, audience?

Dickens travelled a lot as a prominent man of his day in the Victorian Era.

Dickens visited Cairo, Illinois in 1842.

The city of Cairo was located at the southernmost point in Illinois, at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers.

Today, Cairo is empty and deserted, and considered a ghost town.

In its heyday, Cairo was an important city along the steamboat routes and railway lines. 

Southern Illinois where Cairo is located is referred to as “Little Egypt.”

Dickens was said not to have been impressed with Cairo, and that the nightmare city of Eden was based on Cairo in his novel “Martin Chuzzlewit,” which was published in serial form between 1842 and 1844.

Martin Chuzzlewit is the story of the trials and adventures of a young architect of the same name, who ends up in America from England with travelling companion Mark Tapley to seek their fortunes.

In New York, Martin purchased land “sight unseen” on a “major American river,” having been told that the place would need an architect for new building projects.

When they arrived at Eden/Cairo, what they found instead was a swampy, disease-filled settlement, virtually empty of people and buildings as previous settlers had died, and both Martin and Mark got ill from malaria while they were there.

They recover from their illnesses and return to England, where Martin ultimately reconciles with his family.

In the first chapter of Charles Dickens’ novel “Great Expectations,” the marshlands of the Thames Estuary, where the River Thames meets the North Sea, were the setting where a young orphan named Pip was living with his sister, and was grabbed in a graveyard by a convict in leg-irons.

This was a book that was required reading in 9th-Grade English class where I went to high school.

So we had to read it, and then we analyzed it in class for meanings.

Yet perhaps there were hidden meanings being conveyed in this book about marshlands, orphans and convicts that we have not been consciously aware of about the prevalent conditions of the day.

Charles Dickens was buried in Westminster Abbey.

Not bad for a poor kid made good!

Not only that, Dickens and Rudyard Kipling, George Frederic Handel, and Archibald Campbell are hanging out together for eternity!

Next up, Victor Hugo.

He was considered to be one of the greatest and best-known French writers, and was born in 1802 and died in 1885.

“Les Miserables” is one of his most famous works and considered one of the greatest novels of the 19th-century, was first published in 1862.

Translations into English of “Les Miserables” include: “The Miserable Ones;” “The Wretched;” “The Poor Ones;” ” The Wretched Poor;” “The Victims;” and “The Dispossessed.”

I won’t go through the whole novel, which unabridged was one of the longest ever written, but I do want to bring forward relevant information to my findings about it.

The book contains a number of sub-plots, but the main plot of the story is about ex-convict Jean Valjean, who was arrested as a boy for five-years for stealing a loaf of bread for his starving sister and her family, then gets 14 more years as punishment for numerous escape attempts.

After release from prison, he makes some poor choices, but because of kindness shown to him as a result of one of them, he becomes a force for good.

But he is tracked relentlessly throughout the novel by a police inspector who knew him in prison who wants to penalize him for mistakes he made before he changed his life for the better.

Other characters in the novel in include Cosette, a young girl whom Jean Valjean rescued from servitude from a family who were mean and abusive to her.

As the various sub-plots interweave, the backdrop of the story becomes the Paris Uprising of 1832.

“Les Miserables” gave the relatively-unknown 1832 rebellion widespread renown.

We are told the rebellion originated as an anti-monarchist insurrection on June 5th and 6th of 1832 attempt by Parisian Republicans to reverse the establishment in 1830 of the July Monarchy of Louis-Phillipe of the House of Bourbon, who was the last King of France.

The economic and social conditions leading up to the 1832 Paris Uprising were as follows: harvest failures; food shortages; increases in the cost-of-living; and a cholera outbreak which devastated the poor neighborhoods of Paris.

The 1832 Paris Uprising started on June 5th, the day of the funeral of Jean Maximilien Lamarque, a French commander during the Napoleonic War who later became a member of the French Parliament.

Lamarque opposed the restoration of the House of Bourbon and the Ancien Regime of France.

Ancien?

Ancient?

There are many references in our historical narrative to “ancient” that go back only centuries as opposed to millenia, which better fits the definition of ancient as pertaining to the far distant past.

An example of this is St. Augustine, Florida, which has a nickname of the “Ancient City,” which is interesting because the year of its founding was said to be 1565, which is not a year considered to be ancient history studies.

By the way, St. Augustine was the first Catholic parish in what became the United States.

The Jesuits arrived there in 1566, and the Franciscans arrived there in 1573 to establish missions.

Back in Paris, the course of the 1832 Paris Uprising was that after Lamarque’s funeral, the Republican conspirators provoked riots with an army they had organized of Parisian workers and local youth, and refugees from Poland, Germany, and Italy, and they took control of the eastern and central districts of Paris for a short period of time.

They made the Porte Saint-Martin their stronghold, a 60-foot, or 18-meter, high triumphal arch made of limestone and marble, said to have been built in 1674.

They built barricades around the narrow streets in the surrounding area.

In the novel “Les Miserables,” the character of Gavroche was a young street urchin who takes part in the barricades… and was killed while collecting bullets from dead National Guardsmen.

The French Army and National Guard ultimately put down the uprising on June 6th, the day after it started.

I believe the literature of Charles Dickens and Victor Hugo, and other famous authors, were being used both as programming devices with which to shape our collective minds with the new historical narrative, and at the same time telling us what was going on with regards to replacing the Old World Order with the New World Order, and documenting, among other things, the conditions of poverty and the negative societal impacts on children that was rampant across continents during the 19th-century.

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.

By the time the Paris Commune was established in 1871, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels had already 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.

I have encountered the following three graphics displaying quotes of powerful Freemason Albert Pike about World Wars I, II, and III that were said to have been contained a letter written in 1871 by Albert Pike to Giuseppe Mazzini, the second leader of the Bavarian Order of the Illuminati after Adam Weishaupt’s death in 1830.

This letter was written in the same year that Karl Marx published his pamphlet about the Communards in France.

The following three quotes appear to be the military blueprint for three world wars.

For the First World War, Pike was talking about the Illuminati overthrowing the Czars and making Russia a fortress of atheistic communism.

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.

And 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.

All of this sounds very familiar to what we know in the present-day!

Could all of these conflicts, at least since the American Civil War, and other wars of the 19th-century, been planned, even scripted out and staged, for the Controller’s desired outcome, which was world control and domination?

The time-frame of the American Civil War is a good lead-in to bring in the many hats of Frederick Law Olmsted wore in the shaping of our new historical narrative.

He is called the “Father of Landscape Architecture.”

His biography says he created the profession of landscape architecture by working in a dry goods store; taking a year-long voyage in the China trade; and by studying surveying, engineering, chemistry, and scientific farming.

Though I found references saying he did attend Yale College, we are also told he was about to enter Yale College in 1837, but weakened eyes from sumac poisoning prevented him the usual course of study. 

At any rate, he apparently did not graduate from college in any course of study.

We are told he started out with a career in journalism, travelling to England in 1850 to visit public gardens there, including Birkenhead Park, a park said to have been designed by Joseph Paxton which opened in April of 1847 and said to be the first publicly funded civic park in the world.

 Joseph Paxton, a gardener and greenhouse builder by trade…

…was also said to have been commissioned by Baron Mayer de Rothschild in 1850 to design the Mentmore Towers in Buckinghamshire…

…and Joseph Paxton was also given credit in our historical narrative for designing the Crystal Palace to house the 1851 Great Exhibition in London in Hyde Park.

The Crystal Palace was described as a massive glass house that was 1,848-feet, or 563-meters, long, by 454-feet, or 138-meters, wide, and constructed from cast-iron frame components and glass. 

After his trip, Olmsted published “Walks and Talks of an American Farmer” in England in 1852, where he recorded the sights, sounds and mental impressions of rural England from his visit.

Frederick Law Olmsted apparently was also commissioned by the New York Daily Times to start on an extensive research journey in the American South and Texas between 1852 and 1857.

The dispatches he sent to the Times were collected into three books, and considered vivid, first-person accounts of the antebellum South: “A Journey in the Seaboard Slave States,” first published in 1856…

…”A Journey through Texas,” published in 1857…

…and “A Journey in the Back Country in the Winter of 1853 – 1854,” published in 1860.

All three of these books were published in one book, called “Journeys and Explorations in the Cotton Kingdom,” in 1861 during the first six months of the American Civil War at the suggestion of his English publisher.

One more thing, before I move on to some other things Frederick Law Olmsted was known for, is that he provided financial support for, and sometimes wrote for, “The Nation,” a progressive magazine that is the oldest continuously published weekly magazine in the United States, having been founded on July 6th of 1865, three-months after the end of the American Civil War.

The next thing I want to bring up about Frederick Law Olmsted is that he was the first executive secretary of the United States Sanitary Commission.

We are told the United States Sanitary Commission was a private relief agency with the mission of supporting the sick and wounded soldiers of the Union Army, and was created by federal legislation on June 18th of 1861.

We are told the United States Sanitary Commission held what were called “Sanitary Fairs” as fundraising events to support their mission of providing support to sick and wounded Union soldiers.

“Sanitary Fairs” had everything, including majestic “temporary” buildings said to have been built for the fairs, to be torn down after, and while not as elaborate as the big expositions such as in Chicago, they were still something in and of themselves.

The fairs were expositions and bazaars organized and run by civilians to raise funds for the United States Sanitary Commission for food, clothing, bandages, and other supplies for both military hospitals and soldiers in the field.

Sanitary Fairs typically held large-scale exhibitions, and the 1863 Northwestern Soldiers Fair in Chicago featured a “Curiosity Shop” of war souvenirs, with weapons and other artifacts said to have been designed to contrast the barbaric southern enemy with the civilized North.

These were the Civil War Battles said to have taken place during the same period of time as the Northwestern Soldiers Fair:

The Great Central Fair in June of 1864 took place in the entirety of Philadelphia’s Logan Square.

The structures for the Great Central Fair were said to have been built in 40-working days by volunteer craftsmen…all 6 of them?…in this could-be-staged photograph…

…because when it was completed, the 200,000-square-foot, or 18,581-square-meter complex looked like this, featuring Union Avenue, a 540-foot-, or 165-meter-, long Central Hall…

…over flag-festooned, soaring gothic arches.

Come to think of it, both of these photographs look staged, with the few people shown in both photos facing the photographer.

And are the dimensions of the interior the same?

And even if they are photos of the same structure, with the one photo on the right looking wider and higher to me than the photo on the left, could the photo on the left be a “de-construction” photo instead of a “construction” photo as it was said to be?

Said to have raised more than $1,000,000 for the United States Sanitary Commission in its 3-week run from June 7th to June 28th of 1864, in its final form, the fair was said to have around 100 departments, including Arms and Trophies; children’s clothing; homemade fancy articles; Fine Arts; brewers; wax fruit; trimmings and lingerie; umbrellas and canes; curiosities and relics; a steam glass blower; an Art Gallery; and a horticulture exhibit.

These were the Civil War Battles said to have taken place during the same period of time as the Great Central Fair:

The first Metropolitan Fair, planned for March but ended up being held in New York between April 4th and April 23rd of 1864, also raised over $1,000,000 for the cause, and was the largest Sanitary Fair ever.

Metropolitan Fair-goers could purchase souvenirs like “The Book of Bubbles…”

…a book of nonsense verses with illustrations authored by members of the United States Sanitary Commission.

There was a second Sanitary Fair held in Chicago, this one called the Great Northwestern Sanitary Fair, from October 27th to November 7th of 1865.

It was the last Sanitary Fair of the Civil War, and was said to have raised $270,000 for sick and wounded soldiers.

Speakers at this last Sanitary Fair included Generals Ulysses S. Grant, William T. Sherman, and Joseph Hooker.

Exhibits at the fair were said to include: the bell from Jefferson Davis’ plantation (he was the President of the Confederacy); the clothing both men were wearing at the 1858 Abraham Lincoln – Stephen Douglas debates about slavery and the extension of slavery into new territories; and General Grant’s horse was raffled off as a fundraiser.

This Great Northwestern Fair in Chicago took place after the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, which happened on April 15th of 1865.

This medallion commemorating Lincoln and the Great Northwestern Sanitary Fair was minted for the 1865 fair.

By the time of the Great Northwestern Sanitary Fair in late 1865, the American Civil War had already officially ended on April 9th of 1865 with the meeting of of the Union General Ulysses S. Grant and the Confederate General Robert E. Lee at the Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia, which took place a week before President Lincoln’s assassination.

The template for the Sanitary Fairs was the same as that for the World Fairs, Expositions and Exhibitions – infrastructure said to have been built specifically for these events out of “temporary” materials, and then, for the most part, demolished at some point afterwards, like the Trans-Mississippi International Exposition, held in 1898 in Omaha, Nebraska, from June to November of that year, one of countless examples of this story.

The planner of the United States Sanitary Commission, and its only president from 1861 to 1878, was Henry Whitney Bellows, an American Unitarian Clergyman.

Another founder of the United States Sanitary Commission was George Templeton Strong, a New York lawyer and diarist.

His 2,250-page diary was said to have been found in the 1930s, and contained his striking personal account of life in the 19th-century, between 1835 and 1875, including the events of the American Civil War between 1861 and 1865.

Other members for the standing committee of the United States Sanitary Commission, with its main members throughout the Civil War, also consisted of surgeons Dr. William H. Van Buren, Dr. Cornelius R. Agnew, and Dr. Wolcott Gibbs.

Of the men on the standing committee for the United States Sanitary Commission, most were founding members of the Union League Club as well- Henry Whitney Bellows, Frederick Law Olmsted, George Templeton Strong, and Dr. Wolcott Gibbs.

It was a private social club for wealthy men that opened in New York City in 1863 for pro-Union men could come together “to cultivate a profound national devotion” and “strengthen a love and respect for the Union.”

It became the most exclusive mens’ club in Manhattan, and perhaps in the nation.

This location for the Union League Club was said to have been built on the northeast corner of 5th Avenue and 39th Street between 1879 and 1881, and this building burned down in January of 1932.

Henry Whitney Bellows was also involved in the organizing of the Century Association in New York City, founded in 1847 and incorporated in 1857.

The Century Association was a private social, arts and dining club, and named after the first 100 people proposed as members that were important influencers of the day across many fields of endeavor, including but not limited to architecture, art, politics, and members from wealthy elite families.

The Century Association Building at 42 E.15th Street was in-use by the association starting in 1857, and which served as one of the headquarters of the United States Sanitary Commission.

Also from around the same time-frame of the American Civil War, I am seeing the strong presence of Freemasons giving us the “new” history of the “Old West” in our new historical narrative.

I am going to take a quick look first at what I call the John Wayne version of history, that false historical narrative that we have been indoctrinated in from cradle-to-grave, and I am going to start by looking at the history of how we came to know about the “Wild West.”

The first thing that came along were western-themed dime novels that became available starting in 1860, which would have been right before the beginning of the American Civil War in our historical narrative.

The dime novels were written on pulp paper – from which the term “Pulp Fiction was derived – and contained pictures, and were introduced by the publishing house of Beadle and Company, operated primarily by brothers Irwin & Erastus Beadle, which provided a cheaper form of reading material than what existed previously, and were targeted towards young boys with stories about wild west adventures, and which were the largest demographic of dime novel western readers.

Erastus Beadle was listed as a member in this book about the Otsego Lodge No. 138 in Cooperstown, New York.

Next in our new timeline came the Old Wild West Shows, which were described as travelling vaudeville shows in the United States and Europe that took place between 1870 and 1920.

Vaudeville originated in France in the 19th-century, we are told, as a theatrical genre of variety entertainment, and became one of the most popular forms of entertainment in North America for several decades.

While not in every case, it was typically characterized by travelling companies touring through cities and towns.

Enter U. S. Army scout and guide William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody.

He became internationally known for his touring show, called “Buffalo Bill’s Wild West,” which travelled across the United States, Great Britain, and Continental Europe, which he founded in 1883.

All together, Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show toured Europe eight times between 1887 and 1906.

In 1893, the name was changed to “Buffalo Bill’s Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World” from horse-cultures the world over.

I even saw a book about him called “Presenting Buffalo Bill – the Man who Invented the Wild West.”

And was William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody a freemason?

I didn’t have to look far at all to find Buffalo Bill’s connection to freemasonry – it was right out there in the open!

The first commercially-successful western film is considered to be Edwin S. Porter’s silent western “The Great Train Robbery” which was filmed in New York and New Jersey for the “Edison Manufacturing Company, and first released Vaudeville houses in 1903, and it set the pattern for many more westerns to come.

The first silent western film was an unprecedented commercial success, and the close-up of the actor Justus Barnes emptying his gun directly into the camera became iconic in American Culture.

I was able to find out that famous inventor Thomas Edison was also a Freemason.

The first feature-length motion picture to be entirely filmed in Hollywood was Cecil B. DeMille’s 1914 directorial debut, a silent western film called “The Squaw Man.”

Movie director Cecil B. DeMille was a Freemason too…

…as were famous movie actors best- known for their western movies, John Wayne and Roy Rogers, and they were Shriners, an organization comprised of 32nd- and 33rd-degree freemasons, the highest degrees of western Scottish Rite freemasonry.

As a result of all this, and much more, generations of children and adults have long-been programmed to believe that Hollywood westerns represent real history.

I would like to bring forward the following points of information for my ending thoughts on this post.

The bedrock foundations of our modern scientific paradigm, referring to the solid rock foundations that our scientific worldview is founded upon and the only one that has been taught to generations of students in our educational systems and not to be questioned, can be summarized follows.

This academically-approved and-enshrined paradigm is opposite to the growing belief among many people, myself included, that the Earth realm exists on a “plane,” and interestingly only one-letter different from “planet” in English, which is a flat horizontal surface that extends indefinitely.

But mainstream thinking is quick to debunk this belief, citing “science” as proof for why the Earth is a globe, which sounds very much like “circular reasoning.”

Circular reasoning occurs when the evidence offered to support a claim is just a repetition of the claim itself.

We have not been allowed to question the narrative or the science and the application of critical thinking has been severely discouraged throughout our world.

Among many other things, both the Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundations have been highly involved in the American Educational System.

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 Rockefellers and Carnegies of the world sought to create a system that would provide practical training and education for workers in the industrial sector, and did not want to promote critical thinking.

Anyone who questions the narrative gets labelled a conspiracy theorist…

…when those behind the New World Order Agenda are the actual conspirators!

In our historical narrative, the “Royal Society of London” was established by a Royal Charter issued by King Charles II in 1660, and is the oldest continuously existing scientific academy in the world.

The meaning of the Royal Society’s motto “Nullius in Verba” means “Take nobody’s word for it.”

While on one-hand, “take nobody’s word for it” could certainly mean testing through scientific experimentation, on the other hand another meaning would be not to blindly accept what we are told, and to encourage people to do their own research and think for themselves.

With regards to the giants of science like Sir Isaac Newton, while it is not known with absolute certainty if Sir Isaac Newton was an initiated Freemason, Newton was President of the Royal Society when the Premier Grand Lodge of London was established in 1717, when he was 74.

It is known that Elias Ashmole was a Freemason, and he was one of the founding fellows of the Royal Society in November of 1660.

Elias Ashmole, an English antiquary and student of Alchemy, was the first English Speculative Freemason initiated in 1646.

And it is no secret within Modern Freemasonry that it is “speculative,” meaning based on conjecture rather than knowledge, as opposed to “operative,” meaning those who actually worked with stone.

In conclusion, there is no doubt in my mind that these Speculative Freemasons stole the identity and legacy of the original Operative Moorish Masons, and instead used whatever of the original knowledge they possessed for occulting the New World, and, like the Jesuits, the highest degrees of Freemasonry have also been major players behind the creation of the new narrative and paradigm.

I am going to be 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 and Lake Michigan, paying particular attention to lighthouses; railroad and streetcar history; waterfalls, wetlands and dunes; interstates and highways; major corporate players; mines and mining; labor relations; and many other things.

I am going to be taking a close look at the Michigan-side of Lake Huron in the third-part of this series, and where I expect to see more of exactly the same kinds of things seen thus far.

Lake Huron is connected to Lake Michigan by the Straits of Mackinac; to Lake Superior by the St. Mary’s River; and to Lake Erie via the St. Clair River, Lake St. Clair and the Detroit River, where the city of Detroit is located on land situated between Lake Huron and Lake Erie the two lakes.

It is shared on the north and east by the Province of Ontario and to the south and west by the State of Michigan.

We are told that Lake Huron is considered to be hydrologically a single lake with Lake Michigan because the flow of water between the Straits of Mackinac keeps their water levels in overall equilibrium.

Lake Huron has the greatest shoreline length of the Great Lakes, at 3,827-miles, or 6,157-kilometers, including 30,000 islands, and has not experienced heavy industrialization like the other Great Lakes.

Georgian Bay is a large bay of Lake Huron, and sometimes called “the sixth Great Lake” because of it’s size and distinctiveness.

It is 5,792-square-miles, or 15,000-square-kilometers, in size.

The name of the lake is derived from the indigenous Huron people of the region, also known as the Wyandot.

Their traditional lands extended to Lake Huron’s Georgian Bay and Lake Simcoe in Ontario.

We are told a large tract of Huron land in Canada was signed over to the British Crown in 1850, by the local chiefs, as part of the Robinson-Huron Treaty.

In return, the Crown pledged to pay an annuity to these First Nations people, originally set at $1.60 per treaty member, and it was last increased to $4 in 1874, where it is fixed to this day.

Reservations were also established as a result of this Treaty.

This is what we are told about the Huron or Wyandot people.

Their language is Iroquoian, with this map reflecting where Iroquoian was spoken.

Almost all of the surviving Iroquoian languages are severely endangered, with some languages only having a few elderly speakers remaining.

The two languages with the most speakers are Mohawk and Cherokee, though spoken by less than 10% of their respective people.

Thus far in the series, I have found that there was a pervasive Jesuit presence all over Lake Superior and Lake Michigan in our historical narrative.

When I was looking for information on the Huron people, I found out that they were mentioned in the chronicles of Jesuit Missions in New France from 1632 to 1673 called “The Jesuit Relations,” which were said to be reports from missionaries in the field to update their superiors on their progress in converting them.

This report was said to be from Gabriel Sagard in 1632 with regards to the country of the Hurons.

Sagard was a French Franciscan lay brother known for being one of the earliest missionaries to New France.

Along with the Jesuits, the Franciscans were quite active in the Great Lakes region early on in our historical narrative.

This passage from 1639 in the “Jesuit Relations” describes the Hurons as robust and tall, and wearing beaver skins, necklaces and bracelets of porcelain, and grease their hair and paint their faces.

It is my conclusion that publications like these and many others I have come across in my research were setting the stage in seeding the new historical narrative into our consciousness by those responsible for the hijack of the original positive civilization that built all of Earth’s infrastructure that the indigenous people were primitive tribal hunter-gatherers instead of being the actual builders of a highly advanced, ancient worldwide civilization.

Since this is not in our historical narrative, we don’t even question what we are told about it being built by other cultures or civilizations. 

Moorish Masons of the Ancient Ones were the Master Builders of Civilization, and their handiwork is all over the planet, from ancient to modern.

All of their Moorish Science symbolism was taken over by other groups claiming to be them, falsely claiming their works, or piggy-backing on their legacy. 

Or given a darker meaning by association with certain things that were not the original meaning.

For example, this is the Great Seal of the Moors on the left, compared to the symbol on the back of the U. S. Federal Reserve Note, commonly known as the One-dollar-bill.

You can see that their symbols were co-opted from the original, and have come to have certain negative associations, like associating the pyramid with the eye on top of it with Big Brother, the New World Order, and the Illuminati instead of the Pineal Gland, also known as the third-eye, and our direct connection with Our Creator.

Islam in its original form is about applied Sacred Geometry and Universal Laws, and was nothing like the weaponized form of radical Islam we see today that is playing a divisive and destructive role in the world that is not in accordance with Humanity’s best interests.

I also believe that the Moors and the Tribes of Israel were one and the same, and that this identity was also hijacked as well by those responsible for the hijack of the original positive civilization.

Many years ago, before I started doing my own research in 2018, and when I was learning about these kinds of things, I watched a Megalithomania presentation by Christine Rhone on “Twelve Tribe Nations – Sacred Number and the Golden Age.”

She co-authored a book with John Michel of the same name.

Among other things, they followed the Apollo – St. Michael alignment across countries and continents all the way to Jerusalem in Israel.  

They discuss records and traditions of whole nations being divided into twelve tribes and twelve regions, each corresponding to one of the twelve signs of the zodiac and to one of the twelve months of the year.  All formed around a sacred center.

It stands to reason that these people would apply the same concepts of Harmony, Balance, Beauty, Sacred Geometry, and aligning heaven and earth, to building their communities and themselves that they applied to building all of the infrastructure of the Earth.

There is an 8-pointed star visible in this graphic of the twelve Tribes of Israel as they correspond to the twelve constellations of the Zodiac.

I have found this same 8-pointed star symbol all over the Earth.

It can be found in the Mabel Tainter Memorial Theater in Menomonie, Wisconsin on the top left; in the Mughal Garden Complex in Lahore Pakistan, on the top right; on the Moorish Kiosk in Mexico City on the bottom left; and on the cover of this book about the First Anglo-Afghan War on the bottom right, among countless examples I have found all over the Earth.

The Mabel Tainter Memorial Theater here in Menomonie, Wisconsin, said to have been built in 1889 in the Richardsonian Romanesque architectural-style to honor the late daughter of Lumber Baron Captain and Mrs. Andrew Tainter…

…looks on the inside like the acknowledged Moorish architecture of the Alhambra in Grenada, Spain.

Yet, again, we are taught that the indigenous people of this land were uncivilized tribes of hunter-gatherers.

This painting is by an artist named Paul Kane, who died in 1871, called “Fishing by Torchlight,” of the Menominee spearfishing at night by torchlight and canoe on the Fox River.

The traditional land of the Menominee People was on the western shore of the Lake Michigan, particularly around the Green Bay region.

This region was also a location where the Jesuits set up shop early on as well.

What I am also seeing from tracking leylines all over the Earth, looking from place-to-place at cities in alignment over long-distances, are the consistent presence of swamps, marshes, bogs, deserts, dunes, and places where it appears land masses sheared-off and submerged under the bodies of water we see today.

My working hypothesis is that the circuit board of the Earth’s original energy grid system was deliberately blown out by one or more forms of directed frequency or energy of some kind into different places on the Earth’s energy grid, causing the surface of the Earth to undulate and buckle.

I believe the beings behind the cataclysm were shovel-ready to dig enough of the original infrastructure out of the ruined Earth so they could be used and civilization restarted, which I think started in earnest in the mid-to-late 1700s and early 1800s.

Then they only used the pre-existing infrastructure until they found replacement fuel sources that could be monetized and controlled by them for what had originally been a free-energy power grid and transportation system worldwide, 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.

Like everything else we have been told to explain what is in existence in our world, I really don’t believe lighthouses were built to guide ships by whom they were said to have built them when they were said to have been built.

What I am seeing is that they ended up next to the edge of water when the land around them sank, and were repurposed into navigational aids in the New World to guide ships through the now sunken and broken landmasses in the surrounding waters.

I have come to believe “lighthouses” were literally “houses for light” for the purpose of precisely distributing light energy generated by this gigantic integrated system that existed all over the Earth that was in perfect alignment with everything on Earth and in heaven.

So two of the many points of comparison between the Great Lakes in this series will include lighthouses, and the bathymetry of the lakes, which is the measurement of the depth of water in the lakes.

First, the lighthouses of Lake Huron.

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 Huron has seventy lighthouses around its shores.

There are approximately 88 lighthouses along the shore of Lake Michigan, which has more lighthouses than any of the Great Lakes.

There are approximately 78 lighthouses around Lake Superior, with 42 of them being in Michigan.

One of Michigan’s nicknames is “The Lighthouse State,” as it has more lighthouses than any other state.

Next, the bathymetry of the Straits of Mackinac and Lake Huron.

The bathymetry of the Straits of Mackinac and the Mackinac Channel in between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron shows the depth of the water to be quite shallow, ranging in depth from primarily 0- to 50-meters, or 164-feet.

The Straits of Mackinac are described as a submerged valley in the legend in the lower right-hand corner, and the Mackinac channel as a now-submerged, incised river channel that lies below the straits area.

As mentioned in the top paragraph, these features have been ascribed to a significant lowering of the water levels in Lake Michigan and Lake Huron that occurred 10,000-years-ago.

Interesting to note the S-shaped bends of the Mackinac Channel, and particularly the one going around Mackinac Island in Lake Huron.

I found the same thing in the Au Train-Whitefish Channel of the Green Bay region of Lake Michigan.

The Au Train – Whitefish Channel is a large, submerged channel beginning in Little Bay de Noc and extends across the floor of Green Bay and around Washington Island.

Washington Island is one of a string of islands which are an outcropping of the Niagara Escarpment that stretch across the entrance of Green Bay from the Door Peninsula in Wisconsin to the Garden Peninsula in Michigan.

The strait separating Washington Island and the Door Peninsula is a treacherous waterway littered with shipwrecks.

I will be talking a great deal more about the Niagara Escarpment where it enters Lake Huron on the Ontario-side as it is the landform between Lake Huron and Georgian Bay.

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.

Similar to the Mackinac Channel, I found an explanation given for the continuation of the underwater channel that when Lake Michigan was in a low stage, the Au Train Whitefish River cut a deep channel in the basin of Lake Michigan.

But what if these channels are actually submerged man-made waterways, and part of a sophisticated canal and hydrological system?

S-shaped bends are found in what are called rivers all over the surface of the Earth.

These are just a few of countless examples.

As we are seeing here in the bathymetry of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, these same S-shapes are found underwater.

The same can be said for the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic Ocean.

I found on the official USGS.gov website that “The Gulf Stream can be thought of as a “river” in the ocean.”

For example in this slide, there is a graphic showing the Gulf Stream with snaky, S-shaped bends on the top left, and on the bottom right, a photograph of the Gulf Stream, looking like a river in the ocean.

Another examples of this same finding is seen a photo taken in the waters of the Great Barrier Reef, looking very much like a river in shallow water.

As described in Viktor Schauberger’s work on the hydrodynamics of S-shapes, the motions of this water flow energizes water, and I would surmise it is highly likely that is what these S-shaped water courses were doing in the original energy grid system.

Schauberger was a pioneer in the field of water and energy research in the early 20th-century, and was working on developing a device for the production of living water, water with an enhanced structure and necessary minerals.

Conversely, he believed that modern industries destroy healthy water, including the processes of municipal water treatment plants, which decompose healthy water.

With regards to the bathymetry of Lake Huron and its Georgian Bay, the water- depth ranges from 0 to 100-meters, or 328-feet, for the most part throughout both of them, with the deepest part of Lake Huron being in the middle at 229-meters, or 750-feet in depth where the “x” is circled in red.

The average depth of what constitutes Lake Huron is 59-meters, or 195-feet.

The bathymetry of Lake Michigan shows shallows around the edges ranging from 0 to around 100-meters, or 0- to around 328-feet, with an uneven lake-floor towards the middle ranging in depth from 100-meters, to its deepest point at 282-meters, or 925-feet, which is marked by the “x” circled in red.

The average depth of Lake Michigan is 85-meters, or 279-feet.

The bathymetry of Lake Superior also shows its shallows around the edges, which range from 0 to around 100-meters, or 0- to around 328-feet, with an uneven lake-floor ranging in depth from 100-meters, to its deepest point at 406-meters, or 1,333-feet.

Lake Superior’s average depth is 147-meters, or 483-feet.

The Great Lakes Region is notorious for its shipwrecks, with an estimated somewhere between 6,000 to 10,000 ships and somewhere around 30,000 lives lost.

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

There are estimates of over 1,000 shipwrecks in Lake Huron…

…with reasons given of storms, islands, and shallow areas.

The Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary alone, also known as “Shipwreck Alley,” is estimated to have 116 known shipwrecks.

I am going to start at St. Ignace, which is where I ended the Lake Michigan part of this series as it is on Lake Huron on the other end of the Mackinac Bridge from Mackinaw City, where Lakes Michigan and Huron meet.

Mackinaw City is at the tip of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, and St. Ignace is at the bottom of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, with the Straits of Mackinac separating the two places.

There are a few things I am going to bring forward from the last post about St. Ignace, and a few things I am going to add here.

The Straits of Mackinac are crossed by the Mackinac Bridge, which was said to have first opened in 1957.

The Mackinac Bridge carries Interstate 75 across the longest suspension bridge between anchorages in the western hemisphere between Mackinaw City at its southern end, and St. Ignace at the northern end.

The northern terminus of Interstate-75 is Sault Ste. Marie in Michigan north of St. Ignace, and the southern terminus is in Miami, Florida, and it crosses through a whole lot of major cities in-between on its 1,786-mile, or 2,875-kilometer, length, including, but not limited to Saginaw, Bay City, and Detroit adjacent to Lake Huron in Michigan; Toledo, Dayton, and Cincinnati in Ohio, Richmond in Virginia, and Atlanta in Georgia.

The European history of St. Ignace began when Father Jacques Marquette founded the St. Ignace Mission here in 1671, and named it after the founder of the Jesuits, St. Ignatius of Loyola.

In our historical narrative, Pope Paul III issued a papal bull forming the Jesuit Order in 1540, under the leadership of Ignatius of Loyola, a Basque nobleman from the Pyrenees in Northern Spain.

The Jesuit Order included a special vow of obedience to the Pope in matters of mission direction and assignment.

Whoever the Jesuits and the Freemasons were are at the top of my list of suspects for who was primarily responsible for giving us our new, fabricated historical narrative.

Two years later, in the year of 1542, we are told Pope Paul III established the Holy Office, also known as the Inquisition and the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

The Straits State Park on the northern shores of the Straits of Mackinac is a popular camping spot.

It is also the location of the Father Marquette National Memorial, which was established in December of 1975 to pay tribute to his life and work.

The Father Marquette Museum building at the Memorial was destroyed by fire in March of 2000.

The main building today houses exhibits, and there is a fifteen-station interpretative trail.

One of the popular places to visit in St. Ignace is Castle Rock.

It is described as a limestone stack that rises 196-feet, or 59-meters, above Lake Huron, and we are told was created by the erosion of surrounding land from the melting of Ice Age glaciers after the Wisconsinan Glaciation, called the most recent glacial period of the North American ice-sheet complex that peaked more than 20,000-years ago.

It is three-miles north of St. Ignace on I-75.

Just a short-distance further up the road from Castle Rock is another limestone formation called “Rabbit’s Back.”

St. Anthony’s Rock is found in the town of St. Ignace, between the Fort de Buade Museum and the Wawatam Lighthouse.

St. Anthony’s Rock is yet another one of what is called a limestone seastack and tourist attraction in St. Ignace.

Limestone was a common building material in the ancient world, and used in constructions like the Pyramids of Giza…

…and the Western Wall, also known as the “Wailing Wall,” an ancient limestone wall in the old city of Jerusalem.

In other places in the early history of the United States, we are told that a rock ledge became the landing place for riverboats and wagon trains starting in 1833, on the southside of the Missouri River at what became Kansas City, Missouri.

And all of these strata of limestone underneath the surface were identified where this particular rock ledge was located.

Keep all this in mind as we go around the shores of Lake Huron and its Georgian Bay in this post.

Next, the Wawatam Lighthouse on the other side of St. Anthony’s Rock in St. Ignace is located at the far end of the former railroad ferry pier used by the Chief Wawatam railroad and passenger ferry in the marina.

I would like to mention more about the Wawatam Lighthouse and the Chief Wawatam ferry here.

Firstly, what we are told about the Wawatam Lighthouse in our historical narrative is that it was built as an architectural folly for the Michigan Department of Transportation (DOT) in 1998 as a non-functional lighthouse as an element of the tourist heritage of the state for the Welcome Center on I-75 at Monroe, Michigan, but that in 2004, the Michigan DOT slated the lighthouse for demolition when it was deemed obsolete when the Welcome Center was renovated.

The state government agreed to move the structure to another location when concerns were raised about this decision, and when St. Ignace officials learned of this, they applied for it, and got it moved there.

Anyway, that is what they tell us about it, but I have my doubts.

Secondly I would like to mention the Chief Wawatam railroad ferry.

It was a coal-fired steel ship primarily based in St. Ignace that operated year-round in the Straits of Mackinac between St. Ignace and Mackinaw City between 1911 and 1984 serving in its storied career as a train and passenger ferry and as an icebreaker.

The first part of the Chief Wawatam’s history is that it’s main purpose was as a train service to carry railroad cars, though it also operated as a passenger and car ferry over the years.

It served as an icebreaker during the winter months until that function was replaced by the U. S. Coast Guard Icebreaker Mackinaw in 1944, and that the ship’s passenger service also dropped off after World War II.

Passenger service ended after the Mackinac Bridge opened in 1957, and it was used exclusively as a railroad ferry until 1985.

The Chief Wawatam railroad ferry was the only railroad connection between the two peninsulas of Michigan, and in the 1950s, transported 30,000 railroad cars per year across the Straits of Mackinac.

It started servicing the Mackinac Transportation Company in 1911, a joint-venture of the Duluth, South Shore, and Atlantic Railway; the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railway; and the Michigan Central Railroad since all three railroads crossed back and forth at the Straits of Mackinac.

The Duluth, South Shore, and Atlantic Railway was American railroad that served the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and the Lake Superior shoreline of Wisconsin, providing service from Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and St. Ignace, Michigan, westward through Marquette to Superior, Wisconsin, and Duluth, Minnesota.

The first of this railway line started operating in 1855; then came under the control of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1888; and was in operation all together from 1855 to 1960 as an independently-named subsidirary of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

What’s left of it was merged to the Soo Line in 1961.

Parts of the Duluth, South Shore, and Atlantic Railway were converted to rail-trails, like the St. Ignace – Trout Lake Trail, which is 26-miles, or 42-kilometers, of multi-use recreational trail in its former railbed.

With regards to railroad lines to Mackinaw City on the other side of the Straits of Mackinac, we are told that the Michigan Central Railroad came to Mackinaw City from Detroit in 1881, and the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad in 1882 connecting Mackinaw City to Traverse City; Grand Rapids; and Fort Wayne in Indiana.

The former rail-lines have been repurposed into Rail-trails, like the North West State Trail from Petoskey…

…the North Central State Trail from Gaylord…

…and the North Eastern State Trail from Alpena.

There were two historic roundhouses in Mackinaw City, one for each of the railroads serving the area.

They were both demolished after the rail-lines leading to Mackinaw City were scrapped sometime in the 1980s.

The location of the former Michigan Central Roundhouse is now a Burger King, and the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad is a parking lot west of the Mackinac Bridge; and the former railyards a shopping mall.

Like the lighthouses, I believe that all the rail infrastructure was part of the original energy grid, and as I’ve said many times, I believe the energy grid was deliberately destroyed, and that it’s destruction created everything we see in the world today that we are told is natural, including, but not limited to, the Great Lakes, and I will continue to show you evidence for why I believe this is the case throughout this post and this series on the Great Lakes.

I think the Controllers’ removed the rail-lines that were original part of the energy grid when they were no longer needed for mining and/or their agenda, and they only kept what was needed for freight, with keeping some for public transportation where it was critical infrastructure and scaled passenger service way-back from what it once was.

They were instead turned into interstates, highways, roadways, and recreational rail-trails. used for harvesting our energy for the benefit of a few from what was the original free-energy grid system for the benefit of all.

Now I am going to turn my attention to what’s found in the Straits of Mackinac and Lake Huron to the east of the Mackinac Bridge, Starting with Mackinac Island.

This is what we are told about Mackinac Island.

It was long home to an Ottawa settlement and previous indigenous civilizations before European colonization in the 1600s, and became a strategic center of the fur trade in the Great Lakes region.

We are told that the British built a limestone fort known as Fort Mackinac during the American Revolutionary War in 1781 to control the Straits of Mackinac, and by extension, the Great Lakes’ fur trade.

Still for control of the Great Lakes, we are told the 4.35-square-mile or 11.3-kilometer-squared, in size Mackinac Island was the location of two battles during the War of 1812, which took place at the location on the island identified as the “British Landing,” and in which the British took control of the island for a few years.

We are told that Fort Holmes was built on the highest point of Mackinac Island by the British in 1814, and was taken possession of by United States Armed Forces as part of the Treaty of Ghent in 1815, which was the peace treaty that ended the War of 1812.

The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island was said to have been constructed in the late 19th-century.

We are told in our historical narrative that in 1886, the Michigan Central Railroad, the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad, and the Detroit and Cleveland Steamship Navigation Company formed the Mackinac Island Hotel Company.

We are told they purchased the land and construction of the hotel began based on a design by Detroit architects Mason and Rice, and it first opened in 1887, a year later.

Still operating as a resort today, in its history it has been a destination for Presidents and famous people in our narrative.

Sunset Rock is a stone look-out on Mackinac Island with great views of the Straits of Mackinac, the bridge, and the sunset.

Interesting to note the shores of Mackinac Island lined with megalithic stone blocks.

Arch Rock is the most famous of the rock formations and is described as a natural geological formation that is 50-feet, or 15-meters, -wide, and towers above the water.

Here is a photo showing Arch Rock in alignment with the Milky Way.

Round Island is a little island in-between Mackinac Island and Bois Blanc Island.

The most noteworthy thing about the uninhabited Round Island are its lighthouses – the Round Island Passage Light Station and the Old Round Island Lighthouse.

The Round Island Passage Lighthouse was said to have been constructed starting in 1947 and operational in 1948.

The Round Island Channel that it is located in is a navigable waterway in Lake Huron and a key link in the lake freighter route between Lake Michigan and Lake Superior on which millions of tons of taconite iron ore are shipped annually, and has been an essential element in shipping the iron ores from northern Minnesota since the late 1800s.

The Old Round Island Lighthouse is located on the west shore of Round Island in the shipping lanes of the Straits of Mackinac, and was said to have been constructed in 1895.

It was seen in the 1980 movie “Somewhere in Time” which was filmed primarily on Mackinac Island.

Bois Blanc Island is on the other side of Round Island from Mackinac Island.

“Bois Blanc,” or “white wood,” is believed to be a reference either to the paper birch tree or basswood, which is called “bois blanc” in other contexts.

We are told in our historical narrative that Bois Blanc Island was ceded by the Chippewa “as an extra and voluntary gift” to the United States government in the 1795 Treaty of Greenville between the United States and the indigenous nations of the Northwest Territory for their lands for settlement after their defeat in the Battle of Fallen Timbers in August of 1794, ending what we are told was the Northwest Indian War took place in this region between 1786 and 1795 between the United States and the Northwestern Confederacy, consisting of the indigenous people of the Great Lakes area.

The Territory had been granted to the United States by Great Britain as part of the Treaty of Paris at the end of the Revolutionary War.

The area had previously been prohibited to new settlements, and was inhabited by numerous indigenous peoples, even though the British maintained a military presence in the region.

The 1795 Greenville Treaty forced the displacement of the indigenous people from most of Ohio, in return for cash and promises of fair treatment.

The community of Bois Blanc Township is on the island with a population of 100 in the 2020 Census, and has the smallest school district in terms of student enrollment in the nation, with three students in 2024 – 2025.

The Bois Blanc Lighthouse was said to have been constructed in 1867, two years after the end of the American Civil War.

It is on the northern end of the island is not in use and is privately-owned.

In the part of Lake Huron surrounding these three islands, we find Poe Reef Lighthouse; the Fourteen Foot Lighthouse; the Spectacle Reef Lighthouse; the Martin Reef Lighthouse, and more lighthouses in what is called the De Tour Passage – De Tour Reef Lighthouse; Frying Pan Island; the historical location of Fort Drummond; and the Pipe Island Light Beacon Station.

The Poe Reef Lighthouse is between Bois Blanc Island and the mainland of the Lower Peninsula, 6-miles, or 9.7-kilometers, east of Cheboygan.

Poe Reef is a problem for shipping, lying 8-feet, or almost 2.5-meters, below the surface of the water.

The Poe Reef Lighthouse was said to have been built in 1929, and sits on the northern-side of the South Channel, where the water is too shallow for Lake freighters.

Same story with the Fourteen Foot Shoal Lighthouse on the southern-side of the South Channel, and 3 1/2-miles, or 5.6-kilomters, from the Poe Reef Lighthouse.

It was also said to have been built in 1929 where there was a significant navigational hazard, with the water here being only 14-feet, or almost 4 1/2-meters, -deep.

The Spectacle Reef Lighthouse is on the other side of Bois Blanc Island from the Poe Reef and Fourteen Foot Reef Lighthouses.

The Spectacle Reef Lighthouse is 11-miles, or 18-kilometers, east of the Straits of Mackinac.

It was said to have been constructed at great expense between 1870 and 1874, and made of interlocking, hand-cut limestone blocks, and is 86-feet, or 26-kilometers, in height.

The Spectacle Reef Lighthouse is at a location where there are two limestone shoals that resemble a pair of eyeglasses, which constituted the most dreaded navigational hazard on the Great Lakes.

What we are told in our historical narrative is that there was an effort between 1870 and 1910 to build lighthouses where there were isolated reefs, shoals, and islands that were significant navigational hazards.

The Martin Reef Lighthouse is at a location where the water of Lake Huron is only a few inches deep in its shallowest area, and another significant hazard.

This lighthouse was said to have been constructed in the summer of 1927.

We are heading in the direction of the De Tour Passage, where we find things like several more lighthouses – De Tour Reef Lighthouse; Frying Pan Island; ; and the Pipe Island Light Beacon Station.

There are some other noteworthy things here as well, like the historical location of Fort Drummond and the De Tour Passage State Bottomlands.

This is where the St. Mary’s River starting at Lake Superior connects to Lake Huron, and where the International border between the United States and Canada winds its way through here.

The St. Mary’s River goes through the hydrological powerhouse that is the canal and hydroelectric dam system at Sault St. Marie in Michigan on one-side and in Ontario on the other.

The De Tour Reef Lighthouse is at the entrance of the De Tour Passage on the Lake Huron-side of it.

It is a non-profit-operated lighthouse that it is an important aid to navigation for lake freighters on their way back-and-forth between Lake Huron and Lake Superior.

This lighthouse was said to have been built in 1937, which would have been during the Great Depression, at the location of the De Tour Reef, a dangerous shoal, where vessels must thread there way past a shallow area that is no more than 23-feet, or 7-meters, -deep

Besides the lighthouses, the De Tour Passage has some interesting activity going on in the vicinity of historic Fort Drummond, and the De Tour Passage State Bottomland.

There are two big mining areas showing up in the historical location of Fort Drummond.

A close-up on the mine next to the Fort Drummond Historical Marker shows “Drummond Dolomite.”

Come to find out that Drummond Island here is part of a vast formation of dolomite on the Niagara Escarpment called the “Engadine Corona,” originating on the eastern tip of Manitoulin Island and extending to Manistique in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, a place that I talked about towards the end of the first part of the series on Lake Superior.

I will be revisiting Lake Huron and its connection to the Niagara Escarpment later in this post because from the De Tour Passage, I will be making my way down the western shore of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan on Lake Huron and working my way back up to this area when I travel up the eastern side of it in Ontario because the Niagara Escarpment is what separates Lake Huron and Georgian Bay.

The historic Fort Drummond was said to be the only known military and civilian site established by British forces on American soil during the War of 1812.

According to our historical narrative, the United States government demanded that the British abandon the fort in 1828, which they did, and the American forces that took possession of the fort never did anything with it.

This mining of a star fort location got my attention because I have seen it before.

When I was doing the research for “Star Forts, Gone-Bye Trolley Parks and Lighthouses of New York’s Hudson River Valley & New York Bays” back in November of 2022, I encountered several places like this along the way.

Star Forts, Gone-Bye Trolley Parks and Lighthouses of New York’s Hudson River Valley & New York Bays

One was in Moreau, New York, along the S-shaped bends of the Hudson River, near Hudson Falls and Fort Edwards.

I will be talking more in-depth about the waterfalls of the Great Lakes region in this post as I go around the shores of Lake Huron.

The nearby town of Moreau appears to be an interesting place by just glancing at the Google Earth screenshot.

Moreau has a mined structure next to the Hudson River and the Historical Society that looks like was a star fort at one time.

The towns of Moreau and Hudson Falls are connected by the Fenimore Bridge, which was said to have been constructed in 1906 by the Union Paper and Bag Company as the company had plants in both places.

With fifteen arch spans, roadway, sidewalk and a standard gauge railway track, at one time, it was considered the longest, multiple-span, reinforced concrete arch bridge in the world.

It was closed to traffic in 1989 after it was deemed to be structurally-deficient, and a replacement bridge was built next to it.

I found another place that was being mined further down the Hudson River that looked like it was a star fort at Tompkins Cove, which is directly across the river from the former Indian Point Park/Nuclear Power Plant and is directly adjacent to the Stony Point Lighthouse.

This is a close-up view of the mining of what appears to have been a star fort at Tompkins Cove, like what is seen in Moreau and Fort Drummond/Drummond Island

Indian Point is directly across from Tompkins Cove.

Indian Point Amusement Park was said to have been created in 1923 on a former farm by the Hudson Day Line, the premier steamboat line on the Hudson River from the 1860s through the 1940s, as a recreational park for its passengers.

The Indian Point Park had a cafeteria, picnic facilities, baseball diamonds, rides and games, dance hall, beer hall, miniature golf, swimming pool and speedboat rides.

The property backed up to the Croton and Mt. Kisco Reservoirs that provided water to New York City.

It reopened in 1950 under new management and operated for a few more years until it closed in the mid-1950s and the property was purchased by Consolidated Edison Gas and Electric Company for the Nuclear Power Plant which opened in 1962…

…and which was in operation until April 30th of 2021 when Indian Point Energy Center was permanently closed.

Before its closure, the two reactors there provided an estimated 25% of New York City’s electrical power usage.

The Stony Point Lighthouse is on the same side of the Hudson River as Tompkins Cove, and just below it.

Before leaving the town of Stony Point, there is a light house here to show you.

Like we are seeing with places associated with the War of 1812 taking place at several locations on Lake Huron at the Straits of Mackinac, the Stony Point Lighthouse stands on the grounds of the Stony Point State Historic Site, said to be the location of the 1779 Battle of Stony Point during the American Revolutionary War.

We are told the Stony Point Lighthouse is the oldest lighthouse on the Hudson River, having been built in 1826 to warn ships away from the rocks of the Stony Point peninsula.

It was decommissioned in 1925; acquired by the Parks Commission in 1941, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979; restored starting in 1986, and reactivated in 1995.

Doesn’t this lighthouse look rather strange?

Short and squat…and crooked?

Like maybe this is the top of a much larger structure, the rest of which has been encased in earth?

There is one more thing I would like to mention before I return to Lake Huron and the De Tour Passage from the Hudson River.

There was a massive Rockefeller presence in our historical narrative up-and-down the Hudson River, as well as the New York City area.

The John D. Rockefeller Estate known as “Kykuit” is just down the Hudson River in-between Stony Point and New York City, a word which looks like “Circuit.”

Situated on the highest point in the Pocantino Hills, the Rockefeller Estate was said to have been built in 1913.

I know I digress but I believe these are significant findings with regards to how the original energy grid was constructed, and then it was deliberately destroyed, and reverse-engineered into an energy-harvesting system, and who was behind it all.

In the process of the destruction of the energy grid, the surface of the Earth was destroyed.

Then the components of the energy grid were harvested by those responsible for what has taken place here on Earth without our knowledge or consent, and we find the same kinds of being stories told to cover all of this up, and the same kinds of things are found along the Hudson River in New York that are found in the Great Lakes region…

…including finding John D. Rockefeller in Duluth on Lake Superior.

in the 1890s, the Merritt Brothers, also known as the “Seven Iron Brothers” owned the largest iron mine in the world in the 1890s.

We are told that in 1891, the Merritt family incorporated the Duluth, Missabe, and Northern Railway Company to build a 70-mile, or 113-kilometer-long, railroad from the mine to the port at Superior, Wisconsin, which was just to the south of Duluth, raising the money needed in exchange for bonds from the railroad company.

Their success attracted the attention of John D. Rockefeller, who wanted to expand into the iron ore business, and the Merritts put their company stock up as collateral to borrow money from Rockefeller in order to fund the railroad.

Long story short, the Merritts ended up being financially ruined, and Rockefeller came to own both the mine and the railroad.

After Rockefeller assumed ownership in 1894, he leased his iron ore properties and the railroad to the Carnegie Steel Company in 1896.

John D. Rockefeller sold the railway to United States Steel in 1901, after it had been formed by the merger of Andrew Carnegie’s Carnegie Steel Company, Elbert Gary’s Federal Steel Company, and William Henry Moore’s National Steel Company in 1901, which was financed by J. P. Morgan.

 J. P. Morgan was an American financier and banker who dominated corporate finance on Wall Street throughout the period of time called the “Gilded Age,” between the years of 1870 and 1900.

He was a driving force behind the wave of industrial consolidation in the United States in the late 19th- and early 20th-centuries.

Besides his involvement in the formation of the U. S. Steel Corporation, he was also behind the formation of General Electric and International Harvester, among many other mergers.

John D. Rockefeller, the progenitor of the wealthy Rockefeller family, is at the top of the list of the Robber Barons behind the reset of our history.

He was considered to be the wealthiest American of all time, as seen in this ranking by CNN Business, with an adjusted wealth of $253-billion.

Rockefeller’s wealth soared as kerosene and gasoline grew in importance.

At his peak, he controlled 90% of all oil.

It is my belief from all my research that 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.

Now back to the De Tour Passage on the St. Mary’s River where it connects to Lake Huron.

Today’s Pipe Island Light Beacon Station is at the north entrance of the De Tour Passage, and in-between it and the Frying Pan Island Lighthouse is the “De Tour Passage State Bottomland.”

This is what we are told about this location.

The Pipe Island Lighthouse was said to have been established and first lit in 1888 to aid shipping entering into the St. Mary’s River from Lake Huron.

While still an active aid to navigation today, we are told that in 1937, the lantern room was deactivated, and a daymarker added in place of the lantern.

And for comparison of similarity of appearance, here is the same photo of the Pipe Island Lighthouse and a building next to it on the left, and the just shown Stony Point Lighthouse on the Hudson River in New York with both places looking like there is more below the earth’s surface.

The “De Tour Passage State Bottomland” is an underwater preserve located throughout the De Tour Passage.

The shallow waters there contain the remains of lost ships that are accessible to divers.

This is what we are told about the Frying Pan Island Lighthouse.

It was first lit in 1882, and built on Frying Pan Island to warn of the Frying Pan Shoal on the St. Mary’s River.

It was said to be a front range light with the light on Pipe Island.

The Frying Pan Island Lighthouse and Shoal in the De Tour Passage brought to my mind the Frying Pan Lighthouse and Shoals in the Cape Fear region of North Carolina, which I found when I was “Trekking the Serpent Ley” from the Bermuda Triangle to Lake Itasca in Minnesota back in August of 2023.

Trekking the Serpent Ley

Cape Fear is 5- miles, or 8-kilometers, south at Bald Head Island, and Frying Pan Shoals is the location of many historical shipwrecks.

Frying Pan Shoals is described as a labyrinth of sandbars that extend 20-miles, or 32-kilometers, into the Atlantic Ocean, and is known as the “Graveyard of the Atlantic.”

Frying Pan Tower & Light Station is also now a Bed & Breakfast, and also a popular destination for scuba divers to check out the wrecks.

Now I am going to turn my attention to Cheboygan located a short-distance to the southeast of Mackinaw City on US Highway Route 23, and start the journey from the top of the mitten of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula down the western-side of Lake Huron.

Before I look around to see what’s available to find in Cheboygan, upon seeing the presence of US Highway Route 23 here it’s important for me to take a moment to highlight some of the different aspects about US-23, a subject I brought up in the first part of this series on Lake Superior, and its going to lead me to making a bigger picture connection between highways, waterfalls, railroads, and the original energy grid that will continue to be highlighted in this journey around Lake Huron.

Firstly, US -23 runs for a distance of 1,453-miles, or 2,310-kilometers, between Mackinaw City in Michigan at its northern terminus at I-75, and the southern terminus at the Junction of US-1 and US-17 in Jacksonville in Florida.

Mackinaw City is just a short-distance south on I-75 from St. Ignace across the Mackinac Bridge, which is the northern terminus of I-75.

Mackinaw City is not far from the location of the Tahquamenon Falls State Park, where there are a series of waterfalls on the Tahquamenon River before it empties into Lake Superior in the northeastern part of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and the Tahquamenon Falls.

The Tahquamenon Falls are on Michigan State Highway 123, and are accessible from Michigan Highway 28.

I was able to find an historical rail presence at Tahquamenon Falls when I searched and what came up was the “Tahquamenon Falls Riverboat Tours & Toonerville Trolley.”

It is a 6 1/2-hour wilderness tour that starts at Soo Junction that includes a narrow-gauge train ride and riverboat cruise to the Falls.

I found this information from past research about the Tahquamenon Falls and Toonerville Trolley because I was looking at the Tallulah Gorge and Falls in Georgia, which are also on US-23.

This was when I was doing the research for “Of Railroads and Waterfalls, and Other Physical Infrastructure of the Earth’s Grid System” back in June of 2023.

Of Railroads and Waterfalls and Other Physical Infrastructure of the Earth’s Grid System

The Tallulah Gorge and Tallulah Falls in North Georgia are close to the South Carolina State Line.

A State Park since 1993, the major attractions of the park are the 1,000-foot, or 300-meter, deep Tallulah Gorge; the Tallulah River which runs through the gorge; and six major waterfalls known as the Tallulah Falls which cause the river to drop 500-feet, or 152-meters, over one-mile, or 1.6-kilometers.

This is what we are told.

In 1854, The General Assembly of the State of Georgia first enacted legislation for the construction of a railroad linking the towns of Athens and Clayton in North Georgia, and the railroad opened in sections starting in 1870, with construction of the railroad having been delayed with the outbreak of the Civil War between 1861 and 1865.

When the railroad arrived at Tallulah Falls in 1882, tourism to the area intensified, bringing thousands of people a week to the area.

At one time, there were seventeen restaurants and boarding houses here catering to wealthy tourists.

Places like the Tallulah Lodge, said to be the grandest lodge at Tallulah Falls with over 100-rooms and built in the 1890s, and located one-mile, or 1.6-kilometers, south of the depot on the rim of the gorge.

The Tallulah Lodge burned down in 1916.

Then there was an historical fire in Tallulah Falls in 1921 that wiped out almost the entire town.

We are told that starting in 1909, the Georgia Railway and Power Company, had scouted the Tallulah River and Gorge with its drop in elevation as the ideal place to construct a dam and hydroelectric plant in order to provide electrical power to Atlanta, and that it ended up being one of six being constructed along a 26-mile, or 42-kilometer, stretch of the Tallulah and Tugaloo Rivers with a 1,200-foot, or 366-meter, drop in elevation, between 1913 and 1927.

The construction of the dam at Tallulah Falls was said to have started in 1910 with the purchase of land at the rim of the Tallulah Gorge, and completed in 1914 after the company won a legal battle to halt its activities in the Tallulah Gorge.

Here is a postcard with the Tallulah Falls Bridge on U. S. Highway 23/State Road 15 crossing right in front of the dam and the Lake Tallulah Reservoir.

The bridge was said to have been built between 1938 and 1939.

When I was looking at the shores of Lake Superior in the first part of this series, I found the Sable Falls at the northeastern end of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Michigan.

Sable Falls flow 75-feet, or 23-meters, over what is called Munising and Jacobsville sandstone formations, directly into Lake Superior.

As we go through the information available to find along the way, I will show you exactly why I believe the outflow of the waterfalls of the Great Lakes Region, which were components of a highly-sophisticated hydrological and electrical system throughout the region, as pointed out by the example of the hydrological powerhouse that is the canal and hydrolectric dam system at Sault St. Marie on the St. Mary’s River that connects Lake Superior and Lake Huron, formed the Great Lakes after a deliberately caused cataclysm destroyed the original energy grid and subsequently destroyed the surface of the Earth.

Also in the location of Sable Falls, we find the Grand Sable Dunes running along the northeast end of the Pictured Rocks Lakeshore for 6-miles, or 10-kilometers.

This is the view of them from what is called the “Log Slide Overview,” where in the 19th-century, loggers used them to slide logs from the top of the dunes to the shoreline so they could be transported out.

The Au Sable Point Lighthouse is located in the area of the Grand Sable Dunes and Sable Falls, and it is nicknamed the “Beacon of the Shipwreck Coast.”

The lighthouse here was said to have been built between 1873 and 1874.

Munising at the southwestern end of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore Park.

The “Pictured Rocks” are described as dramatic, multicolored cliffs with unusual sandstone formations, but look strangely like melted or ruined infrastructure.

Formations like what are called natural archways all along the lakeshore, like the one called “Lovers Leap” on the left; and unusual formations like the one named “Chapel Rock” in the middle; and Miners Castle Rock” on the right.

This was Grand Portal Rock as seen in this lithograph from 1851,which mysteriously collapsed in the early 1900s, from the believed cause of erosion but, as the story goes, no one really knows what might have caused it.

Besides Sable Falls, the general area around Munising has many waterfalls.

Others waterfalls in the area include: Alger Falls; Horseshoe Falls; Memorial Falls; Munising Falls; Miners Falls; Scott Falls; Tannery Falls; and Wagner Falls.

The Munising area is also where Au Train is located.

This information connects back to the Au Train – Whitefish Channel in the Little Bay de Noc of Green Bay I mentioned previously in this post that appears to be an underwater canal.

I was able to find a map and reference on-line about there being a proposed ship canal on land in Michigan historically between at Au Train Bay near Munising, and Escanaba at Little Bay de Noc, and we are told that even as recently as the 1980s has been looked into as a possible project for excavation but has been rejected because of projected costs.

Now back to Cheboygan.

We are told Cheboygan was originally an Ojibwe settlement, and that in 1844 a barrel-maker from Fort Mackinac named Jacob Sammons chose the old native camping ground as a site for his cabin.

He started a settlement here with others and it was named Duncan, sawmills were established in a region known for its lumber, and by 1853, Duncan was the county seat, and by 1870, Duncan was included in the expanded boundaries of Cheboygan, which became the county seat of Cheboygan County.

The City of Cheboygan was incorporated in 1889.

In our historical narrative, the railroad finally came to Cheboygan in 1881 when the Jackson, Lansing and Saginaw Branch of the Michigan Central Railroad extended a railroad line from Gaylord to Cheboygan, which was extended to Mackinaw City the following year.

Then in 1904, the Detroit and Mackinac Railway extended its line to Cheboygan.

As time went on, the lumber industry no longer dominated the economy, though there was a Proctor and Gamble plant here, but when it closed in the 1990s, we are told the need for rail service was eliminated, and today, the former railroads of northern Michigan are considered one of the finest recreational trail systems in the United States, with Cheboygan at the junction of the previously-mentioned North Central State Trail from Gaylord, and the North Eastern State Trail from Alpena.

There are two lighthouses in Cheboygan – the Cheboygan Crib Rear Lighthouse and the Cheboygan River Front Range Lighthouse.

The Cheboygan Crib Rear Lighthouse marks the west pier head of the mouth of the Cheboygan River

We are told it was originally constructed in 1884 on what was called a “crib,” which was an artificial-island landfill located more than 2,000-feet, or 610-meters, from the Cheboygan shore, but that in 1984 it was moved to the pier after it was deemed “surplus” property by the Coast Guard

With regards to the Cheboygan River Front Range Lighthouse in our historical narrative, we are told that in 1871, an improvement project to improve the Cheboygan Harbor began by dredging the Cheboygan River, and that by 1883, the portion of the river between the steamboat landing and the railroad dock had been dredged to a width of 200-feet, or 61-meters, and a depth of not less than 14-feet, or 4-meters.

Prior to this, the water over the bar at the mouth of the river had a depth of 7-feet, or 2-meters.

We are told that by 1880, two range lighthouses were operational, one of them being Cheboygan River Front Range Lighthouse, which still stands today.

The other range light was said to have been replaced by a 75-foot, or 23-meter, tall iron tower in 1900.

Rogers City is just a little ways down the coast from Cheboygan, where we find in the surrounding area the Forty Mile Point Lighthouse; Presque Isle and its Lighthouses; and the Ocqueoc Falls.

In our historical narrative, Rogers City was established in 1868 when William Rogers and several other people came to survey the area and for logging purposes in 1868, and that in 1870, post office was opened here.

It changed names and status several times over the years, but was eventually incorporated as a city in 1944.

Rogers City, the largest city in Presque Isle County, only had a population of 2,850 in the 2020 census.

Yet, the world’s largest open-pit limestone Quarry happens to be within the Rogers City limits at the Port of Calcite, which is one of the largest shipping ports on the Great Lakes.

The Forty Mile Point Lighthouse Park is located just to the north of Rogers City.

This is what we are told about it.

It received its name from being a distance of 40-miles, or 64-kilometers, from the Old Mackinaw Point Lighthouse in Mackinaw City.

It was constructed with the intent that as one sailed from Mackinaw Point to the St. Clair River, one would never be without viewing range of a light house.

It’s construction was said to have been completed by 1896, and it was first lit in 1897.

The appearance of the Forty Mile Point Lighthouse on the top left brings the architectural style and building orientation I have seen in many places all over the Earth, including but not limited to, what is seen in Atchison, Kansas, on the top right; Santa Cruz de Tenerife on the bottom left; and the ancient city of Ouarzazate in Morocco, on the bottom right.

What we find in the area of the Presque Isle Harbor on the other side of Rogers City from the Forty Mile Point Lighthouse is the New Presque Isle lighthouse, the Front and Rear Range Lights, and the Presque Isle Quarry.

The New Presque Isle lighthouse was said to have been built in 1870, and is still an active aid to navigation.

It was said to have been built to replace the Old Presque Isle Lighthouse, which is not operational and a museum today.

Like the New Presque Isle lighthouse, the Presque Isle Front and Rear Range Lights were also said to have been built in 1870.

They were said to have been built in the channel leading into the harbor to help mariners avoid the shallows on either side, and they are still active today.

They are right next to the Presque Island Quarry, one of the largest limestone quarries in the nation with two adjacent pits that extend for 5-miles, or 8-kilometers, along the shore of Lake Huron.

The Ocqueoc Falls are directly to the west of the Forty Mile Point Lighthouse; Rogers City; and Presque Isle.

The Ocqueoc Falls on the Ocqueoc River are one of the many waterfalls surrounding Lake Huron.

It is a popular recreational destination in the Lower Peninsula with hiking, biking, and camping opportunities.

It is the largest and only-named waterfall in the region, and the only universally-accessible one.

Similar to the previously-mentioned Tallulah Gorge and Falls in Georgia, at the falls, the Ocqueoc River drops 5-feet, or 1.5-meters, before entering a small gorge with rocky walls, and below the gorge flows into Lake Huron’s Hammond Bay.

The next place we come to going down along the coast is Alpena.

Besides being the location of Thunder Bay and the previously-mentioned Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary where approximately 100 shipwrecks are protected, there are three lighthouses here – Middle Island; Thunder Bay Island; and Alpena Harbor.

European settlement started in 1835, and Alpena was officially incorporated by the Michigan State Legislature on March 29th of 1871, which is interesting because on October 8th of 1871, we are told most of the city was lost in the Manistee Fire, one of three fires in Michigan on that same day known collectively as the Great Michigan Fire, which also took place on the same day as the Great Chicago Fire and the Peshtigo Fire in Wisconsin on Lake Michigan.

Then there was another fire less than a year later, on July 12th of 1872, which destroyed an additional 65-or-so homes and businesses, and then we are told yet another disastrous fire for Alpena happened again in 1888.

The Middle Island Lighthouse is 10-miles, or 16-kilometers, north of Alpena, Michigan.

We are told that it was a midway point between Presque Isle Harbor to the north and Thunder Bay to the south, and that one side of the island offered safe harbor, and the other side guarded by shoals and considered a particularly dangerous spot for ships.

We are told the construction of the brick lighthouse there today started in June of 1904 and was completed and operational by June of 1905.

The Thunder Bay Island Lighthouse is said to be one of the oldest operating lighthouses in Michigan.

Our historical narrative tells us the one standing today was said to have been built in 1857, with two others having been built there, one in 1831 that disintegrated almost immediately, and another in 1832 out of local limestone.

The Alpena Harbor Lighthouse stands on the north breakwater of the Alpena, which marks the entrance to the Thunder Bay River from the Thunder Bay.

The current lighthouse was said to have been there since 1914, replacing earlier wooden structures in use between 1877 and 1888.

The history of the city of Alpena is closely connected with the lumber industry.

Founded during the 19th-century lumber boom, it became a major lumber harvesting and processing center.

Leaving the Alpena area and heading down the coast we come next to the Sturgeon Point Lighthouse and unincorporated community of Oscoda.

The Sturgeon Point Lighthouse in today’s Sturgeon Point State Park was said to have been built in the “Cape Cod Style Great Lakes Lighthouse” in 1869 in order to ward ships off a reef that extends 1.5-miles, or 2.4-kilometers, lakeward from Sturgeon Point which was responsible for a large number of lost ships and men.

Oscoda is located at the mouth of the Au Sable River where it enters Lake Huron.

We are told the area was first settled in 1867 when a law firm purchased land and platted a community, with the Oscoda Post Office established on July 1st of 1875.

There’s a Lumberman’s Monument in the area that was dedicated in 1932 to the lumbermen that first settled here.

Noteworthy places include the former Wurtsmith Air Force Base, Largo Springs, and the Tuttle Marsh Wildlife Area.

Wurtsmith Air Force Base was commissioned here in 1923, and was one of three Strategic Air Command bases that housed B-52 bombers.

The base was decommissioned in 1993, and the area is now an on-going Superfund site due to extensive groundwater contamination.

A part of the former airbase is still used as a public-use airport.

Largo Springs in Oscoda has several viewing docks and a boardwalk through natural springs.

Largo Springs was a CCC site in 1934, like other places we have seen so far in this series.

There is no doubt in my mind that the CCC, and the other alphabet programs of FDR’s New Deal during the Great Depression, like the WPA and TVA, were being used to cover-up the ancient advanced civilization.

The entrance to the Tuttle Marsh Wildlife Area is approximately 5-miles, or 8-kilometers, west of Oscoda on Old US Highway 23, the same US-23 I mentioned earlier in this post that goes from Jacksonville in Florida to Mackinaw City in Michigan, and has connections both to the Tallulah Falls and Gorge in Georgia, and the Tahquemenon Falls in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan by way of Michigan State Highway 123, and are accessible from Michigan Highway 28, and both these places have historic railroad connections.

As I have been saying in this series and in other work I have done, I consistently find the presence of swamps, marshes, deserts and dunes along the leylines I have been tracking over a long-distances for a long time, from place-to-place-to-place.

The next places I would like to bring your attention to down the coast is what is found in the vicinity of the Tawas Point Lighthouse, which also includes Tawas City and Alabaster Junction.

The Tawas Point Lighthouse is contained within the Tawas Point State Park, a public recreation area.

This is the second lighthouse said to have been built at this location between 1876 and 1877, with the first one said to have been constructed between 1852 and 1853, with Tawas point itself being a serious hazard to navigation with shifting sands.

We are told it was originally named “Ottawa Point,” and the name changed to “Tawas Point” in 1902.

Here is the Tawas Point Lighthouse with a full moon known as a “Supermoon” rising directly behind it back in November of 2016.

The Tawas Point State Park is located on 183-acres, or 74-hectares, at the end of a sand-spit that forms Tawas Bay.

This location in Michigan has been referred to as the “Cape Cod of the Midwest.”

This is an interesting reference to make because not only does Tawas Point have the same curving appearance as Cape Cod, the location of Cape Cod in Massachusetts has the same features that we have seen in the Great Lakes, like extreme weather, shipwrecks, and shallow bathymetry…

…as well as lighthouses and historic railroad beside the coastal areas.

Here is the map showing fourteen lighthouses on Cape Cod alone, as well as other lighthouses of this part of New England, on the left, as well as the historic Old Colony Railroad that traversed the length of the narrow Cape Cod.

Again, it is my working premise the lighthouses and railroad, and star forts for that matter, were once working components of the Earth’s original energy grid, and that land masses sank around them when the energy grid was deliberately targeted for destruction by the Dark Forces directly responsible for the world we live in today, and the destruction of the energy grid is what brought us the bodies of water we see today that weren’t there prior to this event.

Like the Great Lakes and Cape Cod in Massachusetts, the treacherous waters of the Outer Banks in North Carolina have also given it the nickname of “Graveyard of the Atlantic” because of the numerous shipwrecks that have occurred here because of its treacherous waters consisting of things like shallows, shifting sands, and strong currents.

We are told the nearby Tawas City was founded in 1854, and was the first city located on the shores of Saginaw Bay and Lake Huron north of Bay City.

The forest lands of the area supported a lumber and sawmill industry early in its history like so many of the other places we have seen along the way.

It is interesting to note that this photo was notated as the Main Street of East Tawas City in 1910.

Tawas City is on US-23.

US-23 has been designated the “Sunrise Side Coastal Highway” as it runs along the Lake Huron Shoreline.

Alabaster Junction is a short-distance south of Tawas City on US-23.

It was formerly a location on the Detroit, Bay City & Alpena Railroad, later known as the D & M, Lake States Railroad.

A branch known as the  Erie & Michigan Railway & Navigation company left the mainline here, and served the Alabaster gypsum quarry along the Lake Huron shoreline.

It held the world’s record for equipment per mile of track, from Alabaster on the shore of Tawas Bay to East Tawas, which is a distance of 11-miles, or 18-kilometers.

These days, Alabaster is an abandoned mining complex that consists of an open-pit gypsum mine, and the remains of processing buildings, shops, and offices, an abandoned railroad and what we are told was an elevated marine tramway that that spanned 1.5-miles, or 2.4-kilometers, into Saginaw Bay.

The next community we come to with a lighthouse nearby is Au Gres, and the Gravelly Shoal and Charity Island Lighthouses southeast of Point Lookout on the western-side of Saginaw Bay.

Like we saw towards the beginning of this post, the Saginaw Bay is quite shallow, ranging in depth from 0 – 100-meters or 328-feet.

The Gravelly Shoal Lighthouse is an active aid to navigation on the shallow shoals extending to the southeast from Point Lookout.

It was said to have been constructed in 1939 as part of FDRs New Deal and its program to “Put America Back to Work.”

The Charity Island Lighthouse was said to have been constructed in 1857 and abandoned in 1939 when the Gravelly Shoal Lighthouse became operational.

Today the former Lighthouse Keepers quarters have been renovated and it is an active VRBO accommodation.

Point Lookout State Park is approximately half-way between Tawas City and the mouth of the Saginaw River in Bay City.

The nearby Au Gres was first settled in 1862 by construction workers on the Saginaw – Au Sable State Road, and Au Gres incorporated as a city in 1905.

Its population was 945 in the 2020 census.

It is also located on US-23.

Next I am going to head on down to Bay City area at the mouth of the Saginaw River where it enters Saginaw Bay.

Saginaw Bay forms the space between Michigan’s Thumb Region and the rest of the Lower Peninsula.

Bay City is the principal city of the Bay City metropolitan area, and the county seat of Bay County.

Here are some photos I found of historical buildings in Bay City, like the Bay County Courthouse circa 1896…

…the Bay County Jail that we are told existed from 1870 to 1940…

…the historic Bay City Hall…

…and the Federal Building in Bay City circa 1910.

The Saginaw River Rear Range Light is in Bay City at the entrance of the Saginaw River into Saginaw Bay.

We are told in our historical narrative that the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers dredged the Saginaw River to allow larger ships to travel upriver, and that this change required the placement of lighthouses, and that in 1876 a pair of range lights had been erected.

The first lighthouse, the “front range light,” was completely removed by the 1960s.

The Saginaw River Rear Range Light is still there but deactivated in 1960.

Interestingly, the Dow Chemical Company, which already owned the land surrounding the Rear Range Light, purchased the lighthouse in 1986, and then proceeded to board it up until 1999, when the Saginaw River Marine Historical Society approached Dow about renovating it and opening to the public, though all these years later it is not permanently open to the public, seemingly just for special occasions like the Tall Ship Celebration in Bay City in 2019, which was the last time it was open to the public.

Now we are offically heading into the region known as “The Thumb,” travelling along what is known as “The Thumb Coast.”

It is noteworthy that the Huron Fire took place on October 8th of 1871, which burned a total of 1.2-million-acres, of Michigan’s Thumb region.

This was the exact same day as the Great Chicago Fire and the Peshtigo Fire in Wisconsin, as well as two other fires in Michigan – in Manistee and Holland.

Then, almost ten-years later to the day, on on September 5th of 1881, the Michigan Thumb Fire started, with hurricane-force winds and hot and dry conditions.

Interesting to note the following descriptions that accompanied the 1881 Michigan Thumb Fire.

Soot and ash from the fire caused sunlight to be obscured in places on the U. S. East Coast and in New England, the sky had a yellow appearance, and which caused a strange luminosity in and on buildings and vegetation, and Tuesday, September 6th of 1881, became known as “Yellow Tuesday” because of this unsettling event.

The first official disaster relief operation of the American Red Cross was responding to the Thumb Fire less than four months after the establishment of the American Red Cross.

The American Red Cross was founded in 1881 by Clara Barton as a non-profit humanitarian organization that provides emergency assistance, as well as disaster relief and disaster preparedness education.

Clara Barton had been a hospital nurse during the American Civil War.

She had connections in upstate New York, and the American Red Cross was established on May 21st of 1881 in Dansville, New York, and the first local chapter was at the English Evangelical Lutheran Church of Dansville.

Other names involved in the establishment of the American Red Cross included Senator Omar D. Conger, who had a home in Dansville where its founders met…

….even though he was one of the Senator’s for Michigan and had lived and worked in Port Huron, in Michigan’s region known as “The Thumb.”

An early example of Problem – Reaction – Solution?

Did they actually create the disasters, and then provide the response to the disasters?

John D. Rockefeller was amongst several that donated to create a national headquarters near the White House in Washington, DC, said to have been built between 1915 and 1917.

So as we make our way up the Thumb Coast from Bay City, we come to places like Sebewaing and Bay Port, along what appears to be a continuing ruined shore-line.

I have documented similar findings along shore-lines in multiple places, including, but not limited to, when I was doing the research for “Recovering Lost History from the Estuaries, Pine Barrens & Elite Enclaves off the Atlantic Northeast Coast of the United States,” in January of 2023.

Recovering Lost History from the Estuaries, Pine Barrens & Elite Enclaves off the Atlantic Northeast Coast of the United States

My research findings of many included the ruined-looking appearance of the shoreline from the South Jersey Shore on up through the Southshore of Long Island.

Here’s a closer a look at the South Jersey shoreline up to the New York-New Jersey Estuary System, so you can get a better view of what I am referring to on the left, and then what the shoreline looks like going from the New York – New Jersey Estuary System across Long Island to Montauk Point on the right.

And in spite of the marshy and wetland quality of the landscape hereabouts, this whole area is prime and valuable real estate that is, among other things, coveted by the very wealthy in our society.

This part of the world is highly prized by those of wealth and prestige.

So Sebewaing in Michigan for example, is notable for being the “Sugar Beet Capital,” in a region and state known for being major sugar beet producers.

The next place we come to up the Thumb Coast that I would like to mention is Bay Port.

While today Bay Port had a population of a little under 600 people in the 2020 Census, in 1886. the railroad came through here, and commercial fishing became a viable economic industry in the area.

The Bay Port Fish Company was established by investors in 1895, and Lake Herring, Walleye, and Whitefish were shipped via ice-filled rail cars to customers throughout the eastern United States.

Bay Port was considered the largest freshwater fishing port in the world by the 1920s and 1930s.

Then in 1945, a fire destroyed much of the Fish Company’s buildings and eventually over a period of decades, the large-scale commercial fishing industry went away.

Further up the Thumb Coast at the top of the mitten we come to Port Austin; the Port Austin Reef Lighthouse; Grind Stone City; and the Pointe au Barques Lighthouse.

Port Austin was a village of 664 people in the 2010 census.

It is on the western end of the larger Port Austin Township in Huron County, with a population of 1,384 in the 2020 census.

Port Austin is the northern terminus of Michigan Highway 53, of which Detroit is the southern terminus.

Port Austin is the location of “Turnip Rock,” described as a geological formation classified as a stack in shallow water a very short distance offshore, we will continue to see these as we make our way around the shores of Lake Huron.

I think “formations” like these are remnants of sunken infrastructure and land.

Port Crescent State Park is a public recreation area near Port Austin that occupeis the site of the former Port Crescent, ghost town which stood at the mouth of the Pinnebog River.

In 1961, the Pack & Woods Sawmill Chimney, one of the last visible remnants of Port Crescent, was demolished in spite of the objections of local residents.

Also, like the state parks we saw all around the shores of Lake Michigan, there are dunes here, and no, I don’t think these are natural either, as I believe a deliberate attack on the original free-energy grid system destroyed the surface of the Earth.

There are two lighthouses in close proximity to each other at the top of “The Thumb” – the Port Austin Reef Lighthouse and the Pointe au Barques Lighthouse.

The Port Austin Reef Lighthouse is located 2.5-miles, or 4-kilometers, north of Port Austin.

It is on a rocky shoal and considered a significant hazard to navigation.

The Port Austin Reef Lighthouse was said to have been constructed in 1878.

While there is an automated light in the lighthouse that is still operational, the lighthouse itself ihas been undergoing restoration for quite some time and is not open to the public.

Here is an historic photo of the Port Austin Reef Lighthouse on the left in comparison with the previously seen Forty Mile Point Lighthouse near Rogers City, and with which I also showed photos of other locations with the same architectural style, building orientation, and placement of the windows in Kansas; Tenerife in the Canary Islands; and Morocco.

The Pointe au Barques Lighthouse today is an active lighthouse and maritime museum along the shores of Lake Huron on the northeastern tip of the Thumb.

The current structure was said to have been built in 1857.

The last place I went to mention here before I move on down the Lake Huron coast is the interestingly-named Grind Stone City southeast of the Point aux Barques Lighthouse.

Grind Stone City is an unincorporated community in the eastern end of the Port Austin Township that was established in 1834.

It is the location of the Grind Stone City Historic District, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.

In our historical narrative, we are told Grind Stone City was notable for a grindstone quarry that was established here sometime around 1833 by Captain Aaron G. Peer, who along with his brother, built a schooner for the Lake Transport business at the tip of Michigan’s “Thumb,” and by 1850, was selling $3,000 worth of grindstones a year.

The Lake Huron Stone Company and Cleveland Stone Company took over all operations in the area after a second quarry was opened.

The Grind Stone City Historic District is located on Michigan State Trunkline Highway 25, which follows the arc-like shape closely along the Lake Huron shore of the Thumb between Port Huron and Bay City.

Michigan State Highway 25 was once part of the longer US Highway Route 25, when it was first established with the United States Numbered Highway System in 1926.

The original US-25 began at US Highway 17 in Brunswick, Georgia, and ended at Port Huron in Michigan, and was extended to Port Austin in 1933.

Today the northern terminus of US-25 is Covington in Kentucky at the Ohio State Line directly across from Cincinnati, as all of US-25 was deleted north of Cincinnati, Ohio, in the 1970s.

Interesting to note that the southern terminus of US-25 in Brunswick, Georgia, was the location of the train station on the Southern and Atlantic Coast Railroad that serviced Jekyll Island where the creators of the Federal Reserve met in 1910 at Munsey’s Magazine described in 1904 as the “richest, most exclusive, and the most inaccessible” club in the world.

Arriving on a private train car, the group of men who attended the 10-day secret meeting on Jekyll Island in November of 1910 adopted the cover story of a “duck hunt” to explain their activities and hide the true purpose of their meeting, and addressed each other by their first names only – hence they adopted the name of the “First Name Club.”

The Oglethorpe Hotel pictured here in Brunswick was said to have opened in January of 1888, after having been built on top of the previous Oglethorpe House which was said to have burned down during the Civil War.

It remained in operation until 1958, at which time it was torn down and replaced by a Holiday Inn.

The Holiday Inn was eventually torn down too, leaving an empty lot in downtown Brunswick called the “Oglethorpe Block.”

Now a word about the United States Numbered Highway System, also known as the Federal Highway System, that we have already seen examples of come up in this post, including US-23, the “Sunrise Side Coastal Highway” that runs along the Lake Huron Shoreline all the way up to Mackinaw City.

It was actually called an “integrated network of roads and highways numbered within a nationwide grid across the contiguous United States.”

Drawn up in 1913, by the National Highway Association, this map was said to be the first proposed U. S. Highway Network map.

The red roads were delineated “Main” National Highways; the blue roads “Trunk” National Highways; and the yellow roads were “Link” National Highways to connect all the “Mains” and “Trunks.”

The Nation’s first Federal Highways would not be adopted until 1926, when the American Association of State Highway officials approved the first plans for the numbered highway system, with this section showing Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi.

I have blue arrows pointing to major cities that are the central point of at least five highways – Dallas, Texas; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Little Rock, Arkansas; Memphis, Tennessee; Nashville, Tennessee; and Birmingham, Alabama.

What we see happening with the highway system of certain cities being the central point of multiple highways, were frequently seen also seen as being the central point of multiple rail-lines.

This Civil War era-example shows that Petersburg in Virginia, just south of Richmond, was a central point of multiple rail-lines emanating from it in all directions.

Petersburg was the focal point of the railroads that supplied Richmond during the Civil War, and was the primary target for the Union Army in Virginia from the last half of 1864 until April of 1865, and Richmond was burned down on April 2nd of 1865 by Confederate forces after Confederate President Jefferson Davis was said to have ordered the burning of warehouses and bridges after Union General Ulysses S. Grant had taken Petersburg.

There’s a very similar configuration between Petersburg Rail-lines of the Civil War-era, and the highways around Richmond and Petersburg today.

Like Petersburg/Richmond, Atlanta was an important rail and commercial center at the time of the Civil War, and is a highway hub today.

The Burning of Atlanta took place in November of 1864 during the Civil War after General Sherman and his Union Forces captured the city of Atlanta in September 2nd of 1864, and occupied it from then until November of 1864.

He gave orders to destroy Atlanta as a transportation hub and as a war material manufacturing center, and in particular the railroad system and everything connected to it.

His orders were carried out destroying physical infrastructure, and on November 15th, everything that had been destroyed was set on-fire.

Like Petersburg/Richmond and Atlanta, Columbia in South Carolina was a transportation hub with regards to rail infrastructure, and a highway hub today.

After Atlanta was burned down by General Sherman and his troops in November, the following February, Columbia, the capital of South Carolina and an important political and supply center for the Confederacy, was said to have surrendered to General Sherman on February 17th, 1865, after the Battle of Rivers’ Bridge.

On the same day, the fires started, burning much of Columbia, though there is disagreement between historian regarding whether or not the fires on that day were accidental or intentional, but on the following day, General Sherman’s forces destroyed anything of military value, including railroad depots, warehouses, arsenals, and machine shops.

Were these places specifically targeted for destruction because of their importance as transportation and infrastructure hubs on the energy grid during the historical event known to us as the American Civil War, and not destroyed for the reasons we have always been told?

The Harbor Beach Lighthouse is the next lighthouse we come to going down the Thumb Coast.

The Harbor Beach Lighthouse is called a “sparkplug” lighthouse located on the northern breakwater of the Harbor of Refuge of Harbor Beach on Lake Huron.

In our historical narrative, we are told the breakwater and lighthouse were built by the United States Army Corps of Engineers to protect the harbor here, which is the largest man-made freshwater harbor in the world.

Prior to the 20th-century, this port was the home of one of the most active, life-saving crews on Lake Huron, with dozens of shipwrecks around the area.

Further on down the Thumb Coast from here, we come to the entrance to the St. Clair River and the lighthouses immediately in the greater Port Huron area – the Fort Gratiot Lighthouse, and the historic location of the Peche Island Front Lighthouse, which was destroyed by a fire in 1927.

This is what we are told about Fort Gratiot and the Fort Gratiot Lighthouse in our historical narrative.

Fort Gratiot was said to have been built in 1814 during the War of 1812 to guard the entrance of the St. Clair River at Lake Huron, and named after the engineer in the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers who supervised the construction, Charles Gratiot.

The current Fort Gratiot Lighthouse was said to have been built in 1829, and called the second-oldest lighthouse on the Great Lakes.

The historical figure credited with its construction was Lucius Lyon, one of Michigan’s first senators.

The Fort Gratiot Lighthouse is just to the north of the Blue Water International Bridges which connect Port Huron in Michigan with Point Edward in Ontario, and are jointly-owned and maintained by both countries.

In our historical narrative, the location of the city of Port Huron burned not only in the previously-mentioned September 5th of 1881 Thumb Fire that was the first official disaster relief operation of the American Red Cross less than four months after it was founded on May 21st of 1881, the Huron Fire took place on October 8th of 1871, which burned a total of 1.2-million-acres, of Michigan’s Thumb region.

This was the exact same day as the Great Chicago Fire and the Peshtigo Fire in Wisconsin, as well as two other fires in Michigan – the Manistee Fire and the Holland Fire.

The Huron Fire burned a number of cities including Port Huron and White Rock, as well as much of the countryside of the “Thumb” Region in Michigan.

This is an historic picture of the Port Huron City Hall…

…what we are told started out as a library and is now a museum in Port Huron…

…and the Federal Building and U. S. Courthouse in Port Huron.

Further on downstream from here, we come to a number of lighthouses in the Greater Detroit area, starting with the Peche Island Rear Range Lighthouse, and as we go down the line, the Lake St. Clair Front and Rear Lighthouses; the Lake St. Clair Lighthouse; the Windmill Point Lighthouse; the William Livingstone Memorial Lighthouse; the Grosse Ile Lighthouse; and the Detroit River Lighthouse in Lake Erie at the mouth of the Detroit River.

As we make our way into the major metropolitan area of Detroit, we first come to the Peche Island Rear Range Lighthouse.

We are told that it was originally built in 1908 to work in conjunction with the Peche Island Front Range Lighthouse, and that it was moved in sections to Waterworks Park on the St. Clair River in Marine City, Michigan.

The next lighthouses we come to are the St. Clair Flats South Channel Front and Rear Range Lighthouses.

This is what we are told about them.

It was recognized in the 1830 that a canal through the delta at base of the St. Clair River would be an aid to shipping, and that initially by 1859, the South Channel canal dredging was completed and two lighthouses were built.

Then we are told at the recommendation of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, another channel was opened through here between then and 1870, called the St. Clair Flats channel

Then we are told in 1875, the front light began to lean, and there’s a whole lot of stories we are told about these lighthouses ever since then, but that front lighthouse still leans to this day.

The location of the historic Lake St. Clair Lighthouse was in the middle of the lake adjacent to the city of Detroit.

We are told Lake St. Clair was named after St. Clare of Assisi by the French explorer Rene-Robert Cavalier, Sieur de la Salle, on August 12th of 1679, since he discovered it on the same day as her feast day.

The foundation of the current Lake St. Clair lighthouse structure was said to have been constructed as one of FDRs New Deal Public Works Administration projects in 1938.

This was a photo of this particular lighthouse in 1941.

Lake St. Clair has a total surface-area of 430-square-miles, or 1,100-kilometers-squared, and an average-depth of 11-feet, or 4.3-meters, sprawling across the International border with Canada, and through which for more than 100-years, both countries have maintained a 30-foot, or 9.1-meter, deep shipping channel.

Detroit is the largest city in Michigan and the largest U. S. city on the United States – Canada border.

Detroit is the seat of Wayne County. 

This is the old Wayne County Courthouse, which was said to have been constructed between 1897 and 1902.

It is called one of the few survivors of Detroit before it became “Motor City,” and a masterpiece of marble, mahogany, mosaics, sculptures and columns.

The Guardian Building is in downtown Detroit’s Financial District.

It is a landmark skyscraper that was said to have been built between 1928 and 1929 as the Union Trust building, and today serves primarily as the office building for Michigan’s Wayne County.

It was said to have been referred to as the “Cathedral of Finance” due to the building’s resemblance to a cathedral.

The Fisher Building with its distinctively Moorish-looking interior is in what is called the New Center, a commercial and residential historic district in Detroit.

The Fisher Building was said to have been completed in 1928 in the Art Deco Style as a major work of the German-born American architect Albert Kahn…

…and financed by Fisher family by the sale of Fisher Body to General Motors.

The Fisher Building houses the 2,089-seat Fisher Theater…

…the headquarters of the Detroit Public Schools, and the studios of radio stations WJR, WDVD, and WDRQ.

As always, there’s a lot more to find here, but this gives you the idea.

I am going to finish out this post on the Michigan-side of Lake Huron by looking at the other Detroit-area lighthouses – the Windmill Point Lighthouse; the William Livingstone Memorial Lighthouse; the Grosse Ile Lighthouse; and the Detroit River Lighthouse.

The Windmill Point Lighthouse was said have been originally built in 1838 where the Detroit River and Lake St. Clair meet, at the location of marshy and flooded land called Windmill Point after an old stone windmill that was located there.

The current Windmill Point lighthouse was said to have been built in 1933.

The William Livingstone Memorial Lighthouse is described as an Art Deco Lighthouse, said to have been designed by the Hungarian architect Geza Maroti and built by the previously-seen German-born American architect Albert Kahn who was credited with the design of the Fisher Building.

It is the only marble lighthouse in the United States.

It is located on the northeast end of Belle Isle facing Lake St. Clair.

It was named after a Detroit banker, newspaper owner and long-time President of the Lake Carriers Association.

I am going to say a few words about Belle Isle here before I move on to the the Grosse Ile Lighthouse and the Detroit River Lighthouse.

Belle Isle was the location of a historic trolley park known as Electric Park at the end of three streetcar lines – the Myrtle, Fort East, and Crosstown – and was in operation from 1906 to 1928.

The popular amusement and recreational park was located at the foot of the Belle Isle Bridge.

It featured attractions like rides; the Grand Canal; a large windmill; dancing and band pavilions; and a model of the Johnstown Flood.

The Johnstown Flood in Pennsylvania that took place on May 31st of 1889 was the second major disaster the American Red Cross responded to, after the previously-mentioned Great Thumb Fire of 1881.

The Johnstown Flood was caused by the catastrophic failure of the South Fork Dam.

The South Fork Dam was said to have been an earthwork built between 1838 and 1853 as part of a canal system as a reservoir for a canal basin in Johnstown by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

But then after spending 15-years building the dam, it was abandoned by the Commonwealth, and sold to the Pennsylvania Railroad, who turned around and sold it to private interests.

In 1881, speculators had bought the abandoned reservoir and built a clubhouse called the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club and cottages, turning it into an exclusive retreat for 61 steel and coal financiers from Pittsburgh, including Andrew Carnegie, Andrew Mellon, Philander Knox, John Leishman, Henry Clay Frick and Daniel Johnson Morrell.

The South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club was a Pennsylvania Corporation and owned the South Fork Dam.

Henry Clay Frick was a founding member of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club, and was actually said to have been largely responsible for the alterations to the South Fork Dam that led to its failure.

What we are told was that the dam failed after after days of unusually heavy rain, and 14.3-million-tons of water from Lake Conemaugh, which devastated the South Fork Valley, including Johnstown which was 12-miles, or 19-kilometers, downstream from the dam, killing an estimated 2,209 people and causing $17-million in damages in 1889, which be $490-million in 2020.

Though there were years of claims and litigation, the elite and wealthy members of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club were never found liable for damages.

In 1904, the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club corporation was disbanded and assets sold at a public auction by the sheriff, and there were permanent exhibits in many places, like Atlantic City and Belle Isle, depicting the horrors of the Johnstown Flood experience for public consumption.

Along with exhibits depicting the Johnstown Flood, exhibits about the Galveston Flood were also to be found, like this one at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, said to have resulted from a Hurricane on September 8th of 1900 in our historical narrative, and which has been described as the deadliest natural disaster in United States history.

The Grosse Ile North Channel Front Range Lighthouse is the only historic structure remaining of what were said to have been two sets of range lights on the North Channel and South Channel constructed in the 1890s because of a dangerous obstruction on the east side of Grosse Ile, the largest island in the Detroit River.

Lastly, the Detroit River Lighthouse, which sits in Lake Erie, south of the entrance to the Detroit River.

The Detroit River Lighthouse, also known as the “Bar Point Shoal Lighthouse,” is described as a sparkplug lighthouse that was built in 1885 under problematic circumstances due to its particular location, and its isolation has caused problems ever since in its storied past, including being a rendezvous point for rum-runners in the Prohibition years with the proximity of Canadian whiskey and being struck by a lake freighter directly in 1997, in which the lighthouse suffered minimal damage and the freighter was described as having its “steel bow pushed-in like a tin-can.”

In my next post, I will pick up the Ontario-side of Lake Huron in Windsor, directly across the Detroit River from Detroit.
