On the Trail of Giants, in Appalachia and Beyond – Theme 4: The Cataclysm

I have brought forward the main themes that unfolded from my original post “On the Trail of Giants in Appalachia and Beyond” separately for your consideration in this four-part series.

This is last-themed segment of this series, with the featured theme of “The Cataclysm.”

I will be presenting many research findings for why I believe there was a deliberately-caused, and relatively recent, cataclysm, which wiped the “Old World Order” off the face of the Earth, to be replaced by the “New World Order,” and its nefarious agenda for total world control and domination of the Earth, its people, and its resources, and I covered major players behind this agenda and its implementation in the first part of this series called “Robber Barons and Resetters.”

The other two themed-segments in this series are on “Giants” and “The Energy Grid.”

Besides evidence for a recent cataclysmic event that I found in researching “On the Trail of Giants in Appalachia and Beyond,” I am going to bring forward other evidence that I have found in the course of my research and experience to support my belief that the sinking of Atlantis happened relatively recently in Earth’s history, and not thousands of ago, and that the Atlantean civilization was the same as the worldwide ancient advanced Moorish civilization that first originated in the time of ancient Mu, or Lemuria, and existed until relatively recently.

I believe the beings behind this 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, the Controllers 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, abandoned, or repurposed, typically in a very short time after it was said to have been constructed in our historical narrative.

There is plenty of underground infrastructure worldwide for not only the those that desired a global takeover, but for surviving original people to live in as well, where many places on the Earth’s surface would otherwise have been uninhabitable.

The Controllers were people like John D. Rockefeller, a co-founder of the Standard Oil Company in 1870 along with Henry Flagler, roughly a decade after the birth of the oil Industry at Titusville in Pennsylvania in 1859.

Standard Oil Co-founder John D. Rockefeller, Sr, was born in the United States in 1839, and was the progenitor of the wealthy and powerful Rockefeller family.

He was considered to be the wealthiest American of all time, as seen in this ranking by CNN Business.

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.

My starting point for this post on “The Cataclysm” is taking a 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.

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.

Some other things Black Moshannon and Cranberry Glades have in common are as follows:

Both locations have s-shaped river bends and airports nearby, with the name of the parks notated by an oval; the airports by a box; and the river bends are pointed at by arrows.

Both are near Rails-to-Trails locations.

The Snowshoe Rail-to-Trails near Moshannon Creek has 19-miles, or 31-kilometers, of abandoned railroad bed along 37-miles, or 60-kilometers, of legalized Snowshoe Township Roads for ATVS/UTVs.

One of the rails-to-trails near Cranberry Glades is the “North Bend Rail Trail,” a 72-mile, or 116-kilometer, – long hiking corridor running between the North Bend State Park in Cairo, West Virginia, and Ellenboro, West Virginia.

What is now the North Bend Trail was at one time one of the most distinguished railroad lines in United States History.

Said to have been constructed between Grafton, West Virginia, and Parkersburg, West Virginia, by the Northwestern Virginia Railroad between 1851 and 1857, at which time it was sold to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and became known as the “B & O Parkersburg Branch.”

During its prime, it hosted the B & O Railroad’s premiere passenger train, the National Limited, between New York City and St. Louis, Missouri.

Eventually the rail-line that was part of the North Bend Rail Trail became freight-only, and the line was abandoned and dismantled in 1988. 

The trail was completed between 1991 and 1996, and has beautiful, red-brick tunnels along the way.

The North Bend Rail Trail is part of the “American Discovery Trail,” that runs from coast-to-coast through 15-states and the District of Columbia, and is the only non-motorized trail that crosses the country.

Interestingly, I found out that the “American Discovery Trail” includes the Indiana Dunes Discovery Trail on the Southern Shore of Lake Michigan, which is called one of the most biodiverse areas in the United States, and includes sand dunes and wetlands, including bogs, existing right next to each other in the same location, and both are beside railroad tracks, circled on the bottom right.

The South Shore Line runs in ths part of Indiana starting in South Bend, and goes between Michigan City just to the east of the Indiana Dunes, to Gary, Indiana, located just to the west of the Indiana Dunes, on its way to Chicago, Illinois.

In June of 1906, the location of what became the city of Gary, about 26-miles, or 42-kilometers, east of Chicago, Illinois, was a wasteland of drifting sand and patches of scrub oak.

No one lived there, and there was no agricultural value to the land.

Yet, three or four railroads passed through the area where the S-shaped Grand Calumet River wound its way around sand dunes to get to Lake Michigan.

It was in June of 1906 that the first shovelful of sand was turned for the creation of the new steel town of Gary.

Laborers were housed in tents and shacks, and were digging trenches as very little work was being done above-ground.

By 1908, lo-and-behold, the city of Gary had taken on its shape and form!

Gary was heralded as a “Magic City,” having been transformed from sand dunes in record time!

It was established to be the “company town” for U. S. Steel, and became home to the largest steel mill complex in the world, with its operation starting in June of 1908, only two-years after the first shovelful of sand was turned at this location.

U. S. Steel is still the largest employer in Gary, and is still a major steel producer, but with a significantly reduced workforce due to the increase in overseas competitiveness in the steel industry over the years.

Actually, after the “magic” of its beginnings, Gary has been in decline for years, with population loss leading to abandonment of much of the city, unemployment and decaying infrastructure.

I originally encountered this information about the Indiana Dunes and Gary on the southern shore of Lake Michigan when I was “Trekking the Serpent Ley” between the Bermuda Triangle in the Atlantic Ocean and Lake Itasca in Minnesota last fall, a leyline identified by Peter Champoux.

Peter’s work can be seen on his website http://www.geometryofplace.com.

Another rails-to-trails near Cranberry Glades is the Greenbrier River Trail.

What is now the Greenbrier River Trail was gifted to the State of West Virginia in the late 1970s and opened as a recreational, multi-use trail in 1980.

It is 78-miles, or 126-kilometers, – long and runs between US 219 and the Greenbrier River from North Caldwell to Cass in Eastern West Virginia.

White Sulphur Springs in West Virginia, is roughly 24-miles, or 39-kilometers, to the southeast of the bogs at Cranberry Glades.

White Sulphur Springs is a luxury resort frequented by the rich and powerful in this country, including members of the United States Congress for retreats to this day.

Similarly, Black Moshannon State park is 22-miles, or 35-kilometers, from State College, Pennsylvania, which is only a difference of 2-miles, or 4-kilometers, of the distance between the bogs at Cranberry Glades and the community of White Sulphur Springs.

State College, Pennsylvania, is the home of Penn State University.

Penn State was founded in 1855 as the Farmers’ High School of Pennsylvania, and in 1863, it became the state’s first land-grant university.

Penn State University near Black Moshannon State Park is the location of the Garfield Thomas Water Tunnel, the world’s largest water tunnel at the time it was built in cooperation with the Navy in 1949, and for a long time it was the largest circulating water tunnel in the world.

It is still one of the Navy’s principal experimental hydrodynamic research faciilities, and has been declared a historic mechanical engineering landmark.

There is a National Radio Astronomy Observatory at Green Bank, not far from Cranberry Glades in West Virginia,

The Green Bank Telescope is the world’s largest, fully-steerable radio telescope.

Used for the purposes of radio astronomy, it is situated near the S-shaped bends of the Greenbrier River near Cass, and is part of the United States National Science Foundation.

Interesting to note that I found this bit of information in reference to the location of the Green Bank Observatory.

National Radio Astronomy Observatory at Green Bank,

The area around the Observatory was at one time planted with pines with needles of a certain length to block electromagnetic interference at the wavelengths used there, which is a very intriguing find.

The Green Bank National Radio Astronomy Observatory is in the National Radio Quiet Zone, in which radio transmissions are restricted by law.

Besides the nearby Green Bank Telescope, there’s also the Sugar Creek Naval Radio Station in the National Radio Quiet Zone, as well as White Sulphur Springs.

Researchers like Karl Jansky, credited with the discovery of radio waves coming from the Galactic Center, at the Bell Labs complex in Holmdel, New Jersey, were credited with the development of radio astronomy, among other things.

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 worked here, including the Father of Radio Astronomy, Karl Jansky.

The Holmdel Horn Antenna was at Bell Labs facility on Crawford Hill, the highest point in New Jersey’s Coastal Plain, and used as a radio telescope and satellite communication antenna in the 1960s.

In 1965, radio astronomers Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson working here were credited with the discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation that permeates the Universe, a discovery for which they won the Nobel Prize in 1978.

This is a microwave radiation that fills all space in the observable universe, and their finding was said to provide evidence for the “Big Bang Theory,” a theory which described how the Universe expanded from an initial state of high density and temperature which was first proposed in 1927 by Roman Catholic priest and physicist, Georges Lemaitre.

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 to both men being heavily involved with the founding of National Geographic Society in January of 1888, which we are told begun by an elite club for academics and wealthy patrons for the purpose of “the increase and diffusion of geographical knowledge.”

Similarly, the Smithsonian Institution was established in August of 1846, and was created by the United States government for the 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 like museums, libraries, and research centers, 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.

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.

Another gate-keeper type organization that originated in the 19th-century was the American Antiquarian Society, which was founded in 1812, and said to be a national research library of pre-20th-century American history and culture,

The oldest historical society with a national focus, it’s mission is collecting, preserving, and making available for study all printed records of what is known as the United States of America.

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. 

I believe this image is quite relevant to our current situation.

The view of the Philadelphia Museum of Art from the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia is pictured on the right.

Back to Alexander Graham Bell.

He was famous for his work not only with sound but also on training instructors of deaf-mute students.

He travelled to Boston in 1871 to teach instructors at the Boston School for Deaf-Mutes his “Visible Speech System.”

The oldest public day school for deaf and hard-of-hearing students, it later became known as the Horace Mann School for the Deaf.

Shortly afterward, he provided the same training for the instructors at the American Asylum for the Deaf in Hartford, Connecticut, the oldest permanent school for the deaf in the United States, having been established in 1817.

Known later as the “American School for the Deaf,” the original building was replaced with a new, “state-of-the-art” facility called the “Galludet-Clerc Education Center,” which was completed in 2013…

…and we are told that a replica of the cupola of the original building is now a cell tower on the school’s grounds.

It’s also important to note the Kirkbride Plan was implemented in the United States, starting in 1848 with the New Jersey State Lunatic Asylum in Trenton, New Jersey.

Named after the Psychiatrist Thomas Kirkbride, psychiatric hospitals were designed and constructed according to the Kirkbride Plan across the U. S. and while numerous Kirkbride structures still exist, many have been demolished, partially-demolished, or repurposed.

What was the deal with all the deaf people and deaf mutes, and insane asylums for that matter, in the 19th-century?

With regards to those who were deaf-mute, they tell us it resulted primarily from medical reasons, from things like neonatal septicemia, premature birth and low birth weight, to meningitis and mumps.

But were those reasons given to seed our consciousness with the susceptibility of humans to medical conditions causing all illness and dis-ease…or could there have been another reason entirely?

Now, I am going to bring up the first of multiple candidates for you consideration of the origins for what I believe was the deliberately-caused cataclysmic destruction of the Earth’s surface along the Earth’s Grid System in order to bring about the “New World Order,” 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.

I believe that the circuit board of the Earth’s grid system was deliberately blown 0ut, and thinking likely one or more forms of directed frequency or energy of some kind into different places on the Earth’s grid, either at the same time, or different times within a finite period, because there’s just so much devastation on the surface of the Earth.

…and that ever since then we have been at the mercy of a parasitic consciousness that has the rigged the system to provide the non-stop flow of wealth for them and keeping us in the negative energy of our lowest states of consciousness of fear and suffering that they need to survive.

But the problem for them is that 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, and they have to tell us what they are doing.

One way they gain our consent is through literature, art, music, and things like predictive programming in movies and television programs, and accomplish this by not telling us they are telling us.

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.

Predictive programming is defined as:  Storylines, or even subtle images, that in retrospect seem to hint at events that actually end up happening in the real world.

The other way 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 what they are doing to us.

We 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.

The first potential cause I would like to mention are Extremely Low Frequency, or ELF, bells, which was one of several subjects brought forward by Stephanie McPeak Petersen in her latest video, “The Golden Fleece of Tartaria (& Operation Merino).”

I highly recommend this thought-provoking and interesting video in which Stephanie decodes the clues left in the 1974 movie “The Conversation” about survelliance; Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” and “The Tempest;” Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland,” and “Jason and the Argonauts,” with the trail leading her to Australia, merino sheep, monoatomic gold and Pine Gap, an American satellite and signal- intelligence surveillance base in Australia….and ELF bells.

Stephanie covers a lot of ground in her video, but the two topics I want to unpack here from this information are bells and pines.

First bells.

Stephanie speculates that the low-frequency sound waves of the largest bells in existence, which produce lower frequencies, could have been intended to vibrate for some reason, as opposed to being heard.

She found references in the dialogue of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” and “The Tempest,” in which characters are speaking about the downward movements of sound.

She also gave the example of the Berkeley Digital Seismic Network, in which a bore-hole was drilled into the ground right below the bell-tower of the Berkeley Campanile, a bell tower near San Francisco.

Stephanie noted that the acronym for the Berkeley Seismology Lab’s Bay Area Regional Deformation Network is BARD, which was also one of the names by which Shakespeare is referred to, as the “Bard of Avon,” and she wondered about why there is such a fascination with Shakespeare among these groups that are busy wiretapping frequencies in the skies, the air, and the earth?

She also wondered about the possibility that a downward movement of low frequency sound produce could a liquefaction event.

Then to add another bell component, studies have shown that the terrestrial Earth, and it’s atmosphere, rings like a bell, with this reference saying that there is a constant low-frequency humming regardless of seismic activity at frequencies that are inaudible to the human ear, and that the Earth is “ringing like a bell all the time.”

It says there’s speculation on this being the result of the movement of ocean or waves in the atmosphere, but concludes with “We just don’t know what causes the resonance.”

One thing before I move over to pine trees.

I looked into the subject of extremely-low-frequency (ELF), and electromagnetic frequency (EMF), radiation.

The dominant sources of ELFs and EMFs are the generation, distribution, and use of electricity at 50 – 60 hz worldwide.

Exposure to both have demonstrable negative health effects, including, but not limited to, hearing loss, cancer and Alzheimer’s Disease.

The other thing I want to unpack from Stephanie’s latest video is the subject of pine trees and surveillance.

I had an interesting synchronicity with Stephanie, because when she was doing the research on Pine Gap and bells for her video, I was working on the research in my last post on third part of this series on the “Energy Grid,” and was the first time I had encountered the following: 1) the National Radio Astronomy Observatory at Green Bank, where I found a reference to the area around the Observatory at one time being planted with pines with needles of a certain length to block electromagnetic interference at the wavelengths used there; 2) the Bell Lab at Holmdel in New Jersey; and 3) the National Radio Quiet zone, which includes the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, as well as the Sugar Creek Naval Radio Station and White Sulphur Springs.

Pine Gap is 11-miles, or 18-kilometers southwest of Alice Springs.

It is operated jointly by Australia and the United States, and plays a crucial role in supporting the U. S. intelligence worldwide, including American satellite and signal- intelligence surveillance as mentioned previously.

So, what’s the hidden significance of pine trees that we know nothing about?

What we do know about is their popularity as Christmas trees, and for many families, it’s a tradition that you go out and buy a live tree, or go out in the woods and chop one down.

Well, besides finding out things like the folk meanings of the pine tree includes immortality and creativity…

…I did manage to find out a few other things along the lines I was looking for, like studies that show pine cone particles absorb sound…

…and from a forum discussion, that pine needles tend to block 700 to 800 MHz signals.

Otherwise, not easy to find information about this subject.

Now, still on the topic of pines, I am going to pivot to the subject of the Pine Barrens.

Only 15-miles, or 24-kilometers west of the Jersey shore, the Bell Labs location in Holmdel is also located geographically close to the New Jersey Pine Barrens, part of 1.1-million-acres of the Pinelands National Reserve, and occupies 22% of New Jersey’s land area.

In our historical narrative, the Central Railroad of New Jersey was building its rail-lines right through the desolate, swampy and forbidding Pine Barrens between nearby large population centers and the Jersey Shore.

Today there are abandoned trains and railroad lines found throughout the New Jersey Pine Barrens.

I will be expanding on all these findings, and many others, throughout this post.

The Bell Labs Holmdel Complex in New Jersey was also in an alignment with Montauk Point on the eastern end of Long Island; Brookhaven National Laboratory; the JFK International Airport; Coney Island; and Philadelphia southwest of Bell Labs on the alignment.

More on all of this to come.

I became really familiar with what’s in this region as a result of doing a deep dive into it over a year ago in “Recovering Lost History from the Estuaries, Pine Barrens & Elite Enclaves Off the Atlantic Northeast Coast of the United States.”

When I started out doing the research for this post, I was just going to look at a specific place on the Great Egg Harbor River in New Jersey, the Weymouth Furnace, and then move on because I was planning to look at other places that viewers had suggested.

But what I found when I got to looking at the area around the Great Egg Harbor pulled me into looking at the whole region.

Swamps and bogs are not the first thing that come to mind when I think of New Jersey, but those were the first things that jumped out at me when I looked up the place the viewer suggested.

The Great Egg Harbor River is a described as a major river that crosses the largely undisturbed Pinelands, also known as the New Jersey Pine Barrens, so-called because of the nutrient-poor, sandy and acidic soil that supports pine trees, orchids and carnivorous plants.

From that little bit of information, I immediately found two other places in the northeastern United States that have Pine Barrens – Long Island Central and Massachusetts Coastal.

The Great Egg Harbor River flows southeast from near Camden, entering the Great Egg Harbor about 5-miles, or 8-kilometers, southwest of Atlantic City.

We are told that in 1854, the first railroad was built in the area between Camden and Atlantic City.

So let’s take a look at what they tell us about Atlantic City.

Prior to the arrival of European settlers, the location was the summer home of the Lenni Lenape.

Then in 1783, Jeremiah Leeds built the first home here.

But it was not until 1850 that the idea of this becoming a resort location was conceived, and the first hotel here was said to have been built in 1853.

What became known as “Atlantic City” was incorporated in 1854, the same year that train service began on the Camden and Atlantic Railroad mentioned previously, and providing a direct link to Philadelphia in Pennsylvania.

The first Atlantic City Boardwalk was said to have been built in 1870.

By 1874, an estimated 500,000 were coming to Atlantic City each year by the railroad, and we are told that there were so many people coming to Atlantic City by 1878 that the decision was made to build the Philadelphia and Atlantic City Railroad was constructed to accommodate the increased ridership.

Then, in order to accommodate the increasing number of tourists coming to Atlantic City, massive hotels like the United States Hotel sprang up.

Other examples of the original Moorish-style architecture in Atlantic City included the Marlborough-Blenheim Hotel, which was said to have been built between 1902 and 1906, and demolished in October of 1978…

…and the Hotel Windsor, about which I can’t find any information to speak of, but presumably long gone.

According the history we have been taught, everything changed for the Lenni Lenape who lived here after Henry Hudson sailed up what is now called the Delaware River in 1609, and this painting depicts what we are taught to believe about all the original people of this land – they were hunter-gatherers living off the land, and framing the European colonizers as the builders of infrastructure and civilization in the so-called New World.

I am going to continue to give you examples from here of why that narrative doesn’t hold up under scrutiny, and also about the fascination and interest the wealthy elites of American society have long had with this region.

Atlantic City’s Steel Pier was said to have been built by the Steel Pier Company that first opened in June of 1898 as an amusement park built on a pier.

Called the “Showplace of the Nation,” it was one of the most popular entertainments in the United States for 70 years.

The Steel Pier continues to operate as an amusement park to this day, but it definitely doesn’t look the same as it did over 100-years ago when it first opened!

This is an old postcard showing the Atlantic City and Shore Railroad crossing a two-mile, or 3-kilometer, -long trestle bridge in the Great Egg Harbor Bay, and was part of an interurban trolley system in New Jersey that served Somers Point and several other cities between Atlantic City and Ocean City in the years between 1907 and 1948.

The reason given for the end of its operation was a hurricane damaging the viaduct in 1948, and fixing it was cost prohibitive because of the decline in trolley use.

Interesting that we are told we were able to build these interurban trolley systems, like this one across water, only to use them for only 41-years before ending the service.

When I was looking around Atlantic City, I also found out that the largest organ in the world by number of pipes, officially with 33,113, is in the Main Auditorium of the Boardwalk Hall, formerly known as the Atlantic City Convention Hall.

What we are told is that it is one of the few surviving buildings from Atlantic City’s hey-day as a seaside resort.

Recognized by the Guiness Book of World Records as the largest and loudest musical instrument ever constructed, it is called the “Boardwalk Hall Auditorium Organ,” also known as the “Poseidon,” and the “Midmer-Losh,” after the defunct pipe-organ building business that was said to have built the instrument between 1929 and 1932.

This organ has not been fully functional since 1944, when it was first damaged in the 1944 Great Atlantic Hurricane, during which time the Boardwalk Hall was flooded with seawater.

Further damage to the organ was said to have taken place in 2001 when it was improperly handled by workmen during a renovation of the Boardwalk Hall.

While we are told that testoration efforts have been on-going, as of yet it’s not fully-operational.

Along with large bells, organs can produce extremely low frequencies below the threshold of human hearing below 20 Hz.

This whole area is part of the New York – New Jersey Harbor Estuary System, which we are told forms one of the most intricate natural harbors in the world, as well as being the busiest port in the world as the Ports of New York and New Jersey are contained within it.

An “estuary” is defined as a partially-enclosed, coastal body of brackish water, which is water that is salty, dirty & unpleasant, with one or more rivers flowing into it, and a connection to the open sea.

To the southeast, the Lower New York Bay that is part of the harbor system opens into the New York Bight in the Atlantic Ocean.

The New York Bight is described as a roughly triangular indentation along the Atlantic Coast of the northeastern United States from Cape May, New Jersey, to Montauk Point on the Eastern tip of Long Island.

“Bight” is the term given to a concave bend or curvature in a coastline.

The Hudson Valley Shelf, also known as the Hudson Canyon, is an underwater canyon that begins at the shallow outlet of the estuary at the mouth of the Hudson River, said to begin as a natural channel.

The size of the Hudson Canyon is comparable to the Grand Canyon, the largest known canyon off the East Coast, and one of the largest underwater canyons in the world.

My question is was this canyon always underwater?

Since the Grand Canyon was mentioned in comparison to the Hudson Canyon, it is important to mention that the Grand Canyon has a few notable points of information to bring up here.

One is that the Grand Canyon has formations with Egyptian names, like the Isis Temple, the Osiris Temple, and the Temple of Set, and that these formations and others correlate with stars in the Orion Constellation.

Another is that an article appeared in the Arizona Gazette in 1909 that an explorer in the Grand Canyon had stumbled upon Egyptian artifacts, but news about the discovery disappeared from public view shortly after it was published, and it has been called a hoax ever since.

The New York – New Jersey Harbor estuary system opens to Long Island Sound to the northeast.

Long Island Sound is a tidal estuary and marine sound of the Atlantic ocean.

A sound is the term given to a smaller body of water connected to a larger sea or ocean.

Sound is also defined as “vibrations that travel through air or another medium that is heard, in contrast to a noise, which is a sound, especially one that is loud or unpleasant or that causes a disturbance.

From west to east, Long Island Sound is 110-miles, or 180-kilometers, -long, and runs between the East River in New York City, along the North Shore of Long Island, to Block Island Sound.

Block Island Sound is a 10-mile, or 16-kilometer,-wide strait that separates Block Island from the coast of mainland Rhode Island to the east, and to the west, it extends to Montauk Point on the eastern tip of Long Island, as well as Plum Island, Gardiners Island, and Fishers Island, all in New York State.

So those are the basics of what we are told about the make-up of the New York – New Jersey Estuary.

Now I want to connect this information to the bigger picture puzzle pieces that are coming together about this region.

The first thing I want to bring forward is the ruined looking appearance of the shoreline from the South Jersey Shore on up through the Southshore of Long Island, which is the same thing as the New York Bight mentioned previously.

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…

…and then what the shoreline looks like going from the New York – New Jersey Estuary System across Long Island to Montauk Point.

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.

More about this in a moment.

I have one more big-picture puzzle piece to share before I start to break this region down into smaller parts to show you its attraction to the very wealthy, and what appears to be this area’s its role as a significant place on the Earth’s grid system.

Here is the graphic I presented previously showing the location of the Pine Barrens in New Jersey, Central Long Island, and Coastal Massachusetts.

There seems to be a linear relationship between these three Pine Barren ecosystems.

Here is the linear relationship on Google Earth when I searched for the Pine Barrens in New Jersey; the Central Long Island Pine Barrens; and the Coastal Massachusetts Pine Barrens, also known as the Plymouth Pinelands- the pin is placed where that search term for each popped up.

So I am going to start breaking down this region into smaller parts at Plymouth, Massachusetts on Cape Cod, the location of the Southeastern Massachusetts Pine Barrens Alliance.

It so happens that this is the same Plymouth that was the location of the Plymouth Colony, the Pilgrim settlement founded in 1620 by the Pilgrims after they journeyed from England to the New World on the Mayflower, seeking religious freedom, as we are taught and celebrate every year in the United States at Thanksgiving.

This is the Plymouth Rock Monument in Plymouth.

The current classical monument housing was said to have been designed in 1921 by the architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White.

When I was a visited here on a family trip to New England in 1978, when I was 15, I remember seeing the rock, but I don’t remember the classical monument.

That’s one of the ways they condition us.

Look at this, don’t look at that!

By the way, the architectural firm of McKim, Mead, and White were members of the Century Association.

Founded in New York City 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.

Besides famous architects and artists of the day, members included eight U. S. Presidents; ten U. S. Supreme Court Justices; forty-three Members of the Presidential Cabinet; twenty-nine Nobel Prize Laureates; members of the Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Roosevelt, and Astor families; as well as financier J. P. Morgan.

Ever hear the George Carlin quote “It’s one big club, and you ain’t in it?” and wonder where that idea might have come from?

Seems like private clubs like the Century Association, and the elite club that formed that National Geographic Society, and many others, were private and exclusive for a reason, and that was to secretly plan their activities and next moves that no one supposed to know about!

The self-styled elites have continued doing the same thing to this day in their secretive meetings to plan their agendas for what they want the future to look like for Humanity and the World, and what they want doesn’t look good for us!

One more thing related to the Pilgrims before I move on is the Pilgrim Monument in Provincetown, Massachusetts, on the northern end of Cape Cod.

It was said to have been the winning design submitted in by Boston architect Willard T. Sears in a contest, and built between 1907 and 1910 to commemorate the first landfall of the Pilgrims in 1620 and the signing of the Mayflower Compact in Provincetown Harbor.

The Pilgrim Monument is a bell-tower, and the tallest, all-granite structure in the United States, and said to have been modelled after the Torre del Mangia in Siena, Italy, which is said to have been designed in 1309.

It is 252-feet, 7.5-inches, or 77-meters, tall.

Granite is described as a “sonorous” rock, meaning that it will make a sound if you strike it, and in the case of granite, it will make a bell-like sound.

Here is a 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 Cape Cod.

More to come about lighthouses and railroads as we go on down the coast from here.

The Southeastern Massachusetts Pine Barren Association is headquartered at The Center at Center Hill Preserve in Plymouth.

The SEMBP on land extends from Duxbury to Provincetown along the Cape Cod Bay shoreline, covering Cape Cod, the Elizabeth Islands, Nantucket Island and Martha’s Vineyard, and inland includes Southeastern Massachusetts, including Plymouth and surrounding communities.

We are told the geologic foundation for the rare Pine Barren ecosystem of Coastal Massachusetts was the result of outwash from the last glacial maximum, which took place somewhere between 26,500 to 19,000 years ago, and left thick glacial deposits of sand and gravel.

I want to show you some things about Martha’s Vineyard while I’m here before I move on to look at what will be my primary areas of focus on this alignment.

Martha’s Vineyard, an island located just south of Cape Cod, is a popular summer colony for the wealthy.

Martha’s Vineyard, along with the adjacent Chappaquiddick Island, another small island off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard called “Noman’s Land,” and the Elizabeth Islands together comprise Massachusetts’ Dukes County.

Interesting to note that the Elizabeth Islands, with the exception of two of them, are privately-owned by the Forbes family, a wealthy American family of Scottish descent long prominent in Boston.

Forbes family members include businessman John Murray Forbes, among other things a railroad magnate and President of the Michigan Central Railroad, and the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad in the 1850s; and John Forbes Kerry, present-day politician, and the Secretary of State in President Obama’s second administration.

The Forbes family’s original fortune came largely from trading opium and tea between North America and China in the 19th-century.

Martha’s Vineyard, as of the 2010 Census, had a year-round population of approximately 17,500 people, and in the summer months the population grows to somewhere around 100,000.

In a study by the Martha’s Vineyard Commission, the Cost-of-Living on the island was found to be 60% higher than the national average, and the cost of housing 96% higher.

Vineyard Haven on the island was named the #1 most expensive town in the United States by Lending Tree in 2021.

When the European colonizers arrived, the island was inhabited by the Wampanoag, the Algonquin indigenous people of eastern Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts.

There is something interesting to note about the Algonquin language.

It is extremely hard to find this kind of information because of the hunter-gatherer theme going on with indigenous peoples of North America in the narrative, but I found an example in the written language script of the Algonquin Mikmaq people of Nova Scotia, and it is that of an apparent connection to the Egyptian language script.

The Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head, or Aquinnah, on Martha’s Vineyard is one of only two federally-recognized Wampanoag Tribes, the other one being the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, headquartered in Mashpee on Cape Cod.

The Wampanoag on Martha’s Vineyard are headquartered in Aquinnah on the southwest tip of Martha’s Vineyard, part of the lands where they have lived for thousands of years which were dispossessed by English settlers encroaching on their lands.

Aquinnah, which was incorporated as a town named Gay Head, between 1870 and 1997, is the location of the Aquinnah Cliffs.

The Aquinnah Cliffs, with streams of red and orange clay mixed with sand, were said to have been formed by glaciers millions of years ago.

Yet interesting to note that these cliffs have a sheared-off-looking quality to them.

I think there is much, much more to this story.

The Gay Head Lighthouse located here was featured in the Steven Spielberg movie “Jaws,” where Martha’s Vineyard was the primary filming location for the movie’s “Amity Island,” a blockbuster movie in 1975 based on the book of the same name, in which the beach resort was being terrorized by a great white shark that was attacking beachgoers.

There is an interesting, and lengthy back-story to the Gay Head Lighthouse.

But long story short, at one time there were more buildings here.

Then only one, which looks like there is probably more to it under the ground.

And that in 2015, the lighthouse structure was moved because it was perilously close to the eroding cliff edge.

Also interesting to note that I found this article talking about there being a deaf community on Martha’s Vineyard from its earliest settlement through the 19th-century.

It would appear from the article that the deaf people here attracted a lot of interest and questions.

Next, Block Island is in the Block Island Sound I mentioned previously.

It is adjacent to Long Island Sound of the New York – New Jersey Estuary System.

It is 9-miles, or 14-kilometers, south of the Rhode Island mainland, and 14-miles, or 23-kilometers, east of Long Island’s Montauk Point.

Block Island was named for Adrian Block, a Dutch privateer who was employed by the Dutch East India Company who charted the area in 1614.

Mansion Beach on Block Island today is a secluded beach on the island’s northeast coast, known for its white sand and big waves.

It was so-named because there was a mansion once here, said to have been designed by Massachusetts architect Edward F. Searle as a dream home for he and his wife, the widow of San Francisco Central Pacific Railroad magnate Mark Hopkins, one of the Big Four of western railroading, along with Leland Stanford, Collis P. Huntington, and Charles Crocker.

Searle’s wife, Mary Hopkins Searle, was often referred to as the richest woman in America, and shortly after they married, she bequeathed Edward Searle her entire fortune.

The Searle Mansion was said to have been constructed between 1886 and 1888.

At any rate, after having been abandoned for years, the Searle Mansion back on Block Island burned down in the 1960s, and was never rebuilt.

Block Island has thirteen distinct beaches.

This rocky beach is a clothing optional beach below the Mohegna Bluffs, which like the Aquinnah Cliffs back on Martha’s Vineyard, have a sheared-off-looking quality to them.

The huge rocks found here also look megalithic, like they were shaped and cut.

The island’s Southeast Lighthouse is situated atop of the Mohegna Bluffs.

The Southeast Lighthouse was said to have been built in 1874 in the Gothic Revival architectural style.

It is considered one of the most architecturally sophisticated lighthouses built in the United States in the 19th-century, and is the tallest lighthouse in New England.

Things in common with the Gay Head Lighthouse on the Aquinnah Cliffs back on Martha’s Vineyard include:

A top-heavy appearance and ground-level windows, making it look like there is more to this structure hidden underground…

…there used to be more buildings here…

…and this lighthouse was apparently moved away from the edge of the bluff due to  erosion as well.

The current Block Island North Lighthouse built of granite and iron was said to have been constructed in 1867, which would have been two years after the end of the American Civil War.

The lighthouse was deactivated in 1973 and acquired by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.

After being neglected for years, in 1984, the lighthouse and two-acres of land were sold to the town of Shoreham for $1.

It was renovated and first re-lit in 1989, and a museum opened in the first-floor in 1993, and then re-lit again in 2009 after further restoration of the light itself.

Before I move on to Long Island, I want take a look at the other islands located in Block Island Sound, which are Plum Island, Gardiners Island, and Fishers Island, all in New York State.

Plum Island is an island that is part of Southold in Suffolk County, New York, and located in Gardiners Bay, off the eastern end of Long Island’s North Fork peninsula on the eastern end of Long Island.

Plum Island is owned by the United States government, and access to it controlled by the U. S. Department of Homeland Security.

We are told Plum Island was called “Manittuwond” by the historical indigenous Pequot Nation of Connecticut, but who were they really? 

Their true history has been suppressed in our historical narrative.

The Pequot Nation is indigenous to Connecticut.

The Pequot Nation was classified extinct by colonial authorities after the Pequot Wars that took place between 1636 and 1638, effectively decimating them as a viable tribe, as survivors were either sold into slavery to colonists in the West Indies or Bermuda, otherwise taken captive, or absorbed into other tribes.

Of 5 Pequot tribes in existence today, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe is the only one that is federally-recognized.

Mohegan-Pequot was an Algonquin-language spoken by the Mohegan, Pequot, and Niantic people of southern New England, and the Montaukett and Shinnecock of Long Island.

The last living speaker of Mohegan-Pequot died in 1908.

We are told that historically Mohegan-Pequot did not have a writing system, and that the only significant writings came from European colonizers who interacted with speakers of the language.

Back to Plum Island.

So what we are told is that the Montaukett Grand Sachem Wyandanch of eastern Long Island was said to have sold Plum Island in 1659 to Samuel Wyllys, the son of Connecticut’s governor George Wyllys, for “…a coat, a barrel of biscuits, and 100 fish-hooks.”

Plum Island is only 17-miles, or 27-kilometers, south-southeast of Lyme, Connecticut, the place which gave “Lyme Disease” its name.

The origin story of the disease goes like this:

A mysterious ailment afflicted a group of people in and around Lyme, Connecticut, in the 1970s, and that the cause of Lyme Disease was found to be a form of spiral-shaped bacteria transmitted by the bite of a certain kind of tick.

Lyme Disease causes symptoms like a rash, flu-like symptoms, joint-pain and weakness, among others.

Coincidentally…or not…there is a National Disease Center on Plum Island, which was established in 1954 by the United States Department of Agriculture.

The facility maintains laboratories up to biosafety-level 3, which involves microbes which can cause serious and potentially lethal disease by inhalation.

Fort Terry on Plum Island was said to have been built in 1897 as part of the Harbor Defenses of Long Island Sound, and used intermittently through the end of World War II.

Then in 1952, Fort Terry became a military animal and biological warfare research facility, and in 1954, moved to civilian control as mentioned previously.

The granite lighthouse on the western end of Plum Island, said to have been built and in-service in 1869, looks a lot like the North Lighthouse on Block Island, but unlike the North Lighthouse, it is not open to the public, and access to the Plum Island lighthouse is controlled by the Department of Homeland Security for community stakeholders on a case-by-case basis.

The Plum Island Lighthouse is on one side of “the “Plum Gut,” the mile-wide entrance to Long Island Sound.

Plum Gut is known for its treacherous, extremely strong tidal currents and submerged moraine, which is defined as a mass of rocks or sediments carried down by a glacier, with a sea-floor that ranges from shallow to deep.

There is another Lighthouse on the other side of the “Plum Gut,” called the “Orient Long Beach Bar Light,” at the easternmost end of the Long Island’s North Fork, standing alone on top of big boulders and surrounded by water.

Next, I am going to check out Gardiners Island in the Block Island Sound.

Gardiners Island is a small island located in Gardiners Bay between the North and South Forks of Long Island.

The island has been owned by the Gardiner family since 1659, when Lion Gardiner, an English engineer and colonist who founded the first English Settlement in New York here, and said to have purchased it from the Montaukett Grand Sachem Wyandanch, this time for “…a large black dog, some powder and shot, and a few Dutch blankets.”

While not under the jurisdiction of the Colonies of Connecticut or Rhode Island, Gardiners Island did fall under the jurisdiction of William Alexander, the 1st Earl of Stirling, who had been given Long Island by the King Charles I of England in 1636, and who required that Gardiner gain approval of his land grant, which he did in 1639 with a royal patent giving him the right to possess the land forever, and given the title of “Lord of the Manor.”

Gardiner Greene Hubbard, Alexander Graham Bell’s father-in-law and the first president of the National Geographic Society, and a prominent financier and lawyer, was a descendent of Lion Gardiner.

Gardiners Island is a little over 5-square-miles, or 13.4-kilometers-squared, and has more than 1,000 acres of old growth forest, considered by some to be the largest old-growth forest on the northeast coast of the United States.

Passed down through the Gardiner family for over 380-years, the Gardiner mansion on the island is considered to be the oldest family estate in America.

Next, Fishers Island is a part of Southold, New York, at the end of Long Island Sound, located in close proximity to Connecticut and Rhode Island as well.

John Winthrop the Younger, son of the Massachusetts Bay Colony founder and Governor John Winthrop, received a grant of Fisher’s Island in 1640.

Winthrop the Younger, who first became Governor of Connecticut in 1657, was said to have used the island to raise sheep and wool, and make bricks.

The island was privately held by the Winthrop family until 1863, then owned privately by others until 1879, when a joint-commission for Connecticut and New York reiterated the New York had legal title to Fisher’s Island, even though it has closer ties to Connecticut because of its proximity.

Since the 1920s, Fishers Island has been a playground for the social register set that includes the Rockefellers, duPonts, Whitneys, and Roosevelts, and two-thirds of the island is off-limits to everyone except residents and their guests.

The Race Rock Lighthouse is on Race Rock Reef, a dangerous set of rocks in Long Island Sound southwest of Fishers Island, and the site of many shipwrecks.

Like the previously seen “Orient Long Beach Bar Light” on the other end of the Plum Gut from the Plum Island Lighthouse, the Race Rock Lighthouse stands alone on top of big boulders and surrounded by water.

Now, I am going to spend time looking into what’s found on Long Island.

Suffolk County on Long Island’s East End is comprised of six main townships – East Hampton; Southampton, which includes Westhampton; Shelter Island; Southold; Riverhead; and Brookhaven, and includes the Long Island Central Pine Barrens.

I am only going to highlight a noteworthy thing or two found in these places as there is so much to find in eastern Long Island.

The towns of East Hampton and Southampton together are what are known as “The Hamptons,” another one of the historical summer colonies of the wealthy elite in our society.

The township of East Hampton is on the eastern end of Long Island’s South Shore.

East Hampton includes the following hamlets: Montauk, Springs, Wainscott, Amagansett, part of Sag Harbor, and jurisdiction over the privately-owned Gardiners Island.

The hamlet of Montauk is on the eastern end of Long Island’s South Fork.

The Montauk Point Lighthouse is on Turtle Hill at the easternmost tip of Long Island, and not only was it said to be the first built within the State of New York, it was said to be the first public works project in the new United States having been authorized by Congress because the port of New York City was the first in the nation in volume in foreign shipping, and shippers were said to have needed a lighthouse at the end of Long Island to guide them along the south side into New York Harbor.

It is said to be the fourth-oldest active lighthouse in the United States, and also a privately-run museum.

We are told that construction of the lighthouse was authorized by the Second United States Congress in April of 1792 under President George Washington, and that Ezra L’Hommedieu, a prominent lawyer and politician local to the area, chose the location and designed the lighthouse, and that the lighthouse was built between July and November of 1796.

The year of 1792 we are told the authorization to construct the lighthouse was given was the same year that the construction of the Union Canal in Pennsylvania was said to have started under President Washington, which was touted as the “Golden Link” in providing an early transportation route for shipping anthracite coal and lumber to Philadelphia.

This would have been less than ten years after the end of the American Revolutionary War in 1783, supposedly during a time in our history when society was based on agriculture and not technologically advanced.

Keep in mind they were said to have been doing all of this heavy construction work before the start of the Industrial Revolution in America, which would have been in the 1870s according to our historical narrative.

It’s been speculated on alternative media for quite awhile that George Washington and Adam Weishaupt were the same person.

Adam Weishaupt was trained by Jesuits, and was the founder of the Bavarian Order of the Illuminati on May 1st of 1776.

So at the very least they were contemporaries, since the Declaration of Independence was signed only two-months later, on July 4th of 1776.

Back to Montauk Point.

The U. S. Army took over the lighthouse during World War II, and opened Camp Hero, or Montauk Air Force Station, in 1942, adjacent to the lighthouse.

The remnants of Camp Hero are said to be four gun-battery casements, emplacements and concrete fire control towers at the nearby Camp Hero State Park today.

Camp Hero on Montauk Point is alleged to be the location of the Montauk Project, a series of U. S. Government projects with the purpose of developing things like psychological warfare techniques, like MK Ultra, and time-travel research, among others.

We are entering a place on Earth where so-called “Conspiracy Theories” abound, and the Montauk Project is the first of several examples.

The Conspiracy-Theory Montauk Project was the inspiration for the Netflix show “Stranger Things…”

…which was originally billed as “Montauk.”

So far on the East End of Long Island, there was a known Biological Warfare Laboratory on tightly-controlled Plum Island just off-shore in Long Island Sound, and an alleged Psychological Warfare and Time Travel Research Laboratory at Montauk Point’s Camp Hero.

What else could there possibly be here on Long Island’s East End?

Let’s see what comes up.

Southampton, which includes Westhampton, is partially located on the South Fork, and stretches west along the coastline.

We are told that Southampton was founded in 1640 by a group of ten settlers from Lynn, Massachusetts, who obtained land from the Shinnecock Nation by signing a lease, and the town grew quickly and over the next few years, established an early whaling industry here.

The Algonquin Shinnecock Nation’s reservation is in Southampton, and we are told, among thirteen indian tribes on Long Island, largely based on kinship.

In 2005, the Shinnecock filed a lawsuit against the State of New York seeking return of 3,500 acres, or 14 km-squared, in Southampton, and billions of dollars for damages, challenging the State Legislature’s approval of an 1859 sale of 3,500 acres of tribal land.

The disputed land included the Shinnecock Hills Golf Course.

In 2006, the court ruled against the Shinnecock Nation, however, finding the lawsuit was barred by laches, or a lack of diligence or activity for making a legal claim or moving forward with legal enforcement of a right.

They did finally receive federal recognition in 2010, after a 30-year effort that included suing the Department of the Interior.

Their historic neighbors to the East on Long Island, the Montauks, or Montauketts, once resided in large numbers on the eastern end of Long Island.

In 1910, a Judge ruled that the Montauks no longer existed as a tribe and were disenfranchised from their ancestral lands.

Today the Montauk are actively working towards the reversal of this decision, as well as the revitalization of their language and culture.

Interesting to note there is a “Pharoah” surname amongst the Montauks.

This a painting of David Pharaoh of the royal family of the Montauk tribe., depicting sand dunes, just like what we saw earlier where northern Indiana meets the southern shore of Lake Michigan.

He lived between 1835 and died on July 18th of 1878. He was buried in the Indian Field Cemetery on the old reservation lands on East Lake Drive in Montauk.

Princess Pocahontas Pharaoh was born on February 15th of 1878, the last Montauk born on the Montauk Reservation at Indian Field on Montauk Point, a year before the reservation was sold.

She was the youngest daughter of King David Pharaoh and Queen Maria Fowler Pharaoh of the Montauk Tribe.

The King of the tribe always came from the Pharaoh family.

Pocahontas Pharaoh was born in the middle of efforts by Arthur Benson and the Long Island Railroad to force the Montauks off their Land.

Benson purchased Montauk in October of 1879 for $151,000 and allowed for the expansion of the Long Island Railroad through it.

In 1897, King Wyandanch Pharaoh, Pocahontas’ brother went to court to try to get the Montauk land back and fought until 1910, at which time a New York court held that the Montauk Tribe was extinct and stripped the nation of its tribal lands.

Interesting side-note that at least in the Romance languages, the word for lighthouse includes the root sound of “Far”:

In Italian and Spanish, the word for lighthouse is “Faro;” In French, the word for lighthouse is “Phare;” in Portuguese, it is “Farol;” and in Romanian “Far.”

They are spelled and sound like they are related to the word “Pharaoh,” which we are told was the common title for monarchs of ancient Egypt from the First Dynasty, starting in 3,150 BC, up to the annexation of Egypt by the Roman Empire in 30 BC.

Throwing this information into the mix for consideration since both a lighthouse and pharaohs are found on Montauk Point.

Southampton is on the eastern side of the Long Island Central Pine Barrens, and the Central Pine Barrens Planning Commission is in Westhampton Beach, on the western side of Southampton…

…where you find the Westhampton dunes…

…considered prime land and luxury real estate for those that can afford it…

…and canals, like the Moneybogue Canal, which requires dredging to get rid of the sediment at the bottom of the waterway.

The Long Island Central Pine Barrens is called Long Island’s largest natural area and last remaining wilderness.

The Pine Barrens recharge a federally-designated sole source aquifer for Long Island’s fresh drinking water, which comes from groundwater wells.

Almost all of Long Island’s Peconic and Carmans Rivers, and their watersheds, two of the four major rivers here, are in the Pine Barrens, seen here with their S-shaped bends.

The Peconic River drains an area between the Harbor Hill Moraine, flowing into Flanders Bay, and connecting to Peconic Bay, the bay between Long Island’s North and South Forks, east of Riverhead.

It originates in bogs and wetlands in Central Long Island, and is freshwater until it becomes an estuary in Riverhead, a town and township on the northern edge of the Pine Barrens.

The Harbor Hill Moraine that skirts the North Shore of Long Island was said to have resulted from advancing glaciers 18,000 years ago…

…and named for Harbor Hill in Roslyn, New York, the highest point in Nassau County, where the Harbor Hill Mansion was said to have been built between 1899 – 1902 for the telecommunications magnate Clarence Hungerford Mackay, and designed by Stanford White of the architectural firm of McKim, Mead and White.

Next, I am going to take a look at what is found near the town of Brookhaven, which borders the Long Island Central Pine Barrens to the southwest.

The town of Brookhaven on Long Island is the namesake of the Brookhaven National Laboratory in nearby Upton, a U. S. Department of Energy Laboratory.

The Brookhaven National Laboratory is located on the site of the former Camp Upton, a U. S. Army facility first established in 1917 during World War I to house troops awaiting deployment overseas, and during World War II, it was used as an internment camp for Japanese, German, and Italian citizens living in New York or serving on merchant vessels, since the U. S. was at war with these three countries.

The Department of Energy National Laboratory was established in 1947, with a stated desire to “explore peaceful applications for atomic energy” after World War II.

The Laboratory has developed a broader mission over time, including: nuclear and high-energy physics; physics and chemistry of materials; nanoscience; energy and environmental research; national security and nonproliferation; neuroscience; structural biology; and computational sciences.

The research facilities of Brookhaven National Laboratory include the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), the first and one of two operating heavy-ion colliders, and only spin-polarized proton collider ever built.

It is also said to be the only operating particle collider in the United States, as physicists study the primordial form of matter that existed in the Universe after what we are told was the “Big Bang,” a physical theory mentioned earlier in conjunction with the Horn Antenna operated by the Bell Labs in Holmdel, New Jersey, about an event that describes how the Universe expanded from an initial state of high density and temperature.

The world’s other operating heavy-ion collider is the Large Hadron Collider, also known as CERN, near Geneva, Switzerland, said to be doing the same thing as its mirror on Long Island, studying the primordial form of matter in the Universe that existed after the “Big Bang.”

In addition to the RHIC, the Brookhaven hosts the National Synchrotron Light Source II, designed to produce x-rays 10,000-times brighter than the original National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory.

We are told it supports basic and advanced energy technologies in a wide-variety of applications, from nano-catalyst-based fuel cells to economical use of solar energy in high-temperature superconductors in a high-capacity and high-reliability electric grid.

So, along with biological warfare research at Plum Island and psychological warfare and time travel research with the Montauk Project at Camp Hero, we have the Brookhaven National Laboratories on Long Island’s East End studying things likeatomic and high-energy physics.

In Stephanie McPeak Petersen’s previously mentioned video on “The Golden Fleece of Tartaria,” she also mentioned Nikola Tesla’s Wardenclyffe Tower in the section where she was discussing the subject of bells and low extremely frequencies, in which she gave the previously mentioned example of the connection to the Bay Area Regional Deformation (BARD) Seismic Network, which has a bore-hole beneath the Berkeley Campanile.

Interesting to note we have seen one bell-tower already on this Pine Barren alignment, the one at the Pilgrim Monument at Provincetown at the tip of Cape Cod, the tallest granite structure in this United States, a sonorous rock that rings like a bell when struck.

It turns out that the former location of the Wardenclyffe Tower was in Shoreham on Long Island, located on the North Shore of Long Island and a short distance north of Brookhaven and the National Laboratory.

The Wardenclyffe Tower was said to have been built on land next to a railroad line by Tesla between 1901 and 1902 as an early experimental wireless transmission station based on his theories of using the Earth to conduct the signals.

Stanford White, of the already seen architectural firm of McKim, Meade, and White, was said to have designed the original brick building and tower which the Wardenclyffe Tower sat beside.

We are told that the primary financial backer of Tesla’s project was J. P. Morgan until he refused Tesla’s request for more funding to increase the size of the facility and implement his ideas of wireless transmission to compete better with Marconi’s radio-based telegraph system.

By 1906, we are told the project was abandoned because there were no further investors and that by 1917, which would have been during World War I, the tower was demolished for scrap.

The brick building next to it remained standing up until relatively recently, and part of the Tesla Science Center.

A mysterious fire late last year, in November of 2023, severely damaged Tesla’s last remaining laboratory.

This fire happened just before the start of a significant renovation and restoration project that was poised to get started for which millions of dollars had been raised.

There’s a couple of things I would like to bring forward from all this information on the Wardenclyffe Tower.

The first thing is that when I was looking for historic maps of the railroad on the North Shore of Long Island, I noticed the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad running along the opposite shoreline.

The New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad started operating in 1872, having been formed by a merger of two railroads, the Hartford and New Haven Railroad, which began service in 1839, and the New York and New Haven Railroad, which began service in 1844.

We are told that starting in the 1890s, financier J. P. Morgan wanted to monopolize New England’s transportation system by this railroad’s acquistion of fifty companies, including railroad and steamship lines, and also a network of electrified streetcar lines was built that provided interurban transportation between the cities of southern New England, and by 1912, the New Haven operated more than 2,000-miles, or 3,200-kilometers of track, with an estimated 120,000, and monopolized traffic from New York City to Boston

So what happened to all of that ?

In this case, what we are told was that the New Haven’s debt soared due to construction costs and the advent of automobiles, etc, reduced profits, and in 1913 the federal government filed an anti-trust lawsuit, which forced the New Haven to divest of its electric streetcar system. By 1935, the railroad declared bankruptcy for the first of several times, and of several railroads, all of which ended up declaring bankruptcy.

What’s left of the operating lines today are publicly owned and operated by their respective states as commuter rail, or privately owned by freight railroads like CSX.

Otherwise, like the examples we have already seen, many abandoned lines have been turned into rail-trails.

The second thing I would like to bring forward is JP Morgan, who we are told was Nikola Tesla’s primary fiunancial backer.

His name keeps popping up here, from this railroad information, to Wardenclyffe Tower, to his previously mentioned connection to the Century Association, a private club for movers and shakers that was first established in 1847.

J. P. Morgan was a major driving force behind the wave of industrial mergers in the United States in the late 19th- and early 20th-centuries, including U. S. Steel in 1901, among many other mergers.

J. P. Morgan has also long been rumored of having been behind what has come down to us as the sinking of the Titanic.

J. P. Morgan’s father, Junius Spencer Morgan, was the founder of the company that would become J. S. Morgan & Company in 1864, that was the successor company to George Peabody & Company, of which he became the Junior Partner in October of 1854.

In 1854, Morgan was put in charge of the firm’s iron portfolio, which included the marketing of railroad bonds in London and New York.

By the time J. S. Morgan died in 1890, the Morgan banks were the dominant forces in government and railroad finance, and his son John Pierpont Morgan had taken the helm of the company, becoming known as. J. P. Morgan & Company in 1895, now known as JP Morgan Chase & Company.

Now back to Long Island.

Going in a southwesterly direction on Long Island, we come to the long and narrow Great South Bay.

The Great South Bay is described as a lagoon that is 45-miles, or 72-kilometers-, long, and has an average depth of a little over 4-feet, or 1.2-meters, and is 20-feet, or 6-meters, at its deepest.

I am sure there is a lot more to find here if I dig around, but I will share this book cover and say that during the so-called Gilded Age, the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Whitneys, Morgans, and Woolworths were said to have built summer mansions on the South Shore.

Sure looks like the Elites have laid a claim this part of the world all for themselves.

But why?

The land throughout is boggy wetlands and sand dunes!

Southwest of the Great South Bay, we come to Jamaica Bay, called a partially man-made and partially natural estuary on the western tip of Long Island, and containing numerous marshy islands.

John F. Kennedy International Airport is on the northeast side of Jamaica Bay.

Interestingly, there is a rapid transit line of the New York subway system that funs right through Jamaica Bay, the IND Rockaway Line that runs between the Aqueduct Racetrack Station terminal, also close to the airport in a short-distance, straight-line alignment, and the Rockaway Park-Beach 116th Street Station terminal.

And here are comparisons for similarity of what the estuary-land looks like around Sydney International Airport next to Botany Bay on the top left; JFK International and Jamaica Bay on the top right; and Pohnpei International Airport surrounded by what is called a lagoon in the on the island of Pohnpei in the Caroline Islands in the western Pacific Ocean.

Pohnpei is where the ruins of Nan Madol is located, adjacent to the eastern shore of the island.

We are told the massive constructions here were built on small rectangular artificial islands, situated on top of a coral reef and linked by canals.

It is estimated that 250 million tons of prismatic magnetized basalt went into the lincoln-log-like construction of Nan Madol, spread over 170 acres.

Were they built intentionally this way on artificial islands, or are we looking at sunken infrastructure here?

West of Jamaica Bay, we come to Brighton Beach, where we find megalithic rocks strewn about on the beach…

…and the explanation we are given for faces amongst the rocks was that there was a mystery artist in the 1970s who carved them.

There were three major historic amusement parks with Moorish-looking infrastructure/architecture on Brooklyn’s Coney Island Peninsula west of Brighton Beach – Dreamland, Luna Park, and Steeplechase Park.

Dreamland was the third and last of the three original parks said to have been built on Coney Island around the beginning of the 20th-century, and 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, opening 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.

Coney Island’s Luna Park was said to have opened in 1903, and operated until 1944.

We are told the park’s architectural style was an oriental theme, though it looks Moorish, with over 1,000 red and white painted spires, minarets, and domes on buildings constructed on a grand scale.

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

In the middle of the lake at the center of the park was a 200-foot, or 61-meter, tall Electric Tower that was decorated with 20,000 incandescent lamps, said to be a smaller version of the Electric Tower featured in the 1901 Pan American Exposition in Buffalo.

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.

Steeplechase Park on Coney Island was said to have been created by entrepreneur George Tilyou in 1897.

The entrance to Steeplechase Park had a grand archway, the top of which was decorated with four horses.

The park included over 50 attractions on its midway alone.

In Steeplechase Park’s history between its opening in 1897 and closing in 1964, there were things like fires, rebuilding, rides added, and so on.

The only remaining structure from Steeplechase Park is the defunct Parachute Jump, next to Maimonades Park, the location of a minor league baseball stadium.

When I was doing research for my blog post of November 2022 called “Star Forts, Gone-Bye Trolley Parks and Lighthouses of New York’s Hudson River Valley & New York Bays…”

…I found that between the entrance to the lower New York Bay at the Atlantic Ocean to the locations around the George Washington Bridge across the Hudson River alone, there were eleven historical star forts that are in pairs and/or clusters; five major historic trolley amusement parks; and eleven lighthouses.

I found much more of the same kinds of infrastructure all the way up the Hudson River.

I even found the John D. Rockefeller Estate known as Kykuit near Tarrytown.

Situated on the highest point in Pocantino Hills, the Rockefeller Estate was said to have been built in 1913.

Continuing to track the coastline heading south down the Jersey Shore from Coney Island, we come to the Navesink Twin Lights on the headlands of the Navesink Highlands, overlooking Sandy Hook Bay, at the entrance to the New York Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean.

Navesink was also the name of the Lenape people who inhabited the Raritan Bayshore near Sandy Hook in the scenic highlands in eastern New Jersey.

Much like the other stories we have been told about these places I have looked at along the way, the story goes that the Navesink lands were sold by Navesink elders to a group of Dutch businessmen for wampum and goods in March of 1664, the first and largest land sale deal along the Jersey Shore between Native Americans and Europeans, and that the Navesink received in return for their land things like 5 coats; one gun; 12-pounds of tobacco; and 10 gallons of liquor.

The Navesink Twin Lights were said to have been built in 1862.

The American Civil War is said to have taken place between 1861 to 1865, so we are expected to believe this solid masonry structure was built during war-time.

So according to historical narrative, the first and largest land sale deal along the Jersey Shore between Native Americans and Europeans, coincidentally…or not…is the same land that was the location of the first Bell Laboratory at Holmdel.

If I were to make an educated guess, I would say that this geographic location on the surface of the Earth was critically important to the original ancient advanced civilization, and what became Bell Labs was original infrastructure that had a direct connection to the Galactic Center, since this was where, among many other firsts, researchers like Karl Jansky, called the “Father of Radio Astronomy,” was credited with the discovery of radio waves coming from the Galactic Center.

To the west of the Navesink Twin Lights on the Highlands overlooking Sandy Hook is a town called Sayreville, located at the mouth of the Raritan River where it enters Raritan Bay in the New York – New Jersey Estuary System.

Before I talk about Sayreville, I am just now noticing the interestingly-named  “Cheesequake State Park” on this map, which is adjacent to Sayreville.

“Cheesequake State Park” was said to have received that name from the Lenape word “Cheseh-oh-ke” meaning “upland.”

May be just me, but that name sounds pretty darn close to “earthquake.”

The park consists of things like the following:

Lowlands of freshwater and saltwater marsh and a tidal estuary at the mouth of Cheesequake Creek at the Raritan Bay;

Hills of northeastern hardwood forest, open fields, and a white cedar swamp;

And a small parcel of coastal pine barrens.

The Civilian Conservation Corps helped develop the park property, which once had what we are told was a Civil War-era mansion there but that mansion apparently is no longer there, and it first opened as a park in 1940.

The Cheesequake State Park is part of the New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail Route.

The New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail on the left extends along the eastern and southern coast of New Jersey for nearly 300-miles, or 480-kilometers, and the right is a map of historic railroads through the area.

It’s hard to find information about this, but I have already provided examples of the previously seen historic post card of the Atlantic City and Shore Railroad crossing a two-mile, or 3-kilometer, -long trestle bridge in the Great Egg Harbor Bay that was part of an interurban trolley system in New Jersey along the coast between 1907 and 1948.

Besides historic rail-lines along this stretch of coast-line, there are historic lighthouses as well.

The Aberdeen-Matawan Station of the New Jersey Transit System is located 2-miles east of the “Cheesequake State Park.”

It was said to have been built by the New York and Long Branch Railroad, and first opened in 1875, and is convenient to New Jersey Route 35, which follows the right-of-way of the former Pennsylvania Railroad along the Jersey Shore.

The Aberdeen-Matawan Station is also convenient to the PNC Banks Amphitheater in Holmdel, the same location as the original Bell Labs and the Horn Antenna.

Formerly known as the “Garden State Amphitheater,” it is a popular concert venue that can seat 17,500 between the amphitheater and seating on the grass-area.

Amphitheaters are described as acoustically-vibrant performance spaces that are circular, semi-circular, or curved, and seemingly another important component of the Earth’s original grid system.

Acoustics is the branch of physics that deals with the study of mechanical waves in gases, liquids, and solids, and includes vibration, sound, ultrasound (higher frequencies audible to human hearing), and infrasound (lower frequencies below the range of our hearing).

It is interesting to note on Robert Lindsay’s “Wheel of Acoustics,” that the fields within acoustics of Earth Sciences, which includes seismic waves and sound in the atmosphere, as well as underwater sound, is opposite the field of acoustics of the Arts, which includes room and theater acoustics; musical scales and instruments; communication; and psychoacoustics on the psychology of sound.

Robert Lindsay was a physicist, who was born in 1900, authored numerous books on acoustics, and other historical and philosophical aspects of Physics.

Lindsay was considered a father figure of acoustics, and in particular, specialized in underwater sound. He worked with the U. S. Navy on classified studies of ultrasonics and underwater sound, according biographical information in his obituary.

He also was interested in the study of early acoustics, energy, and entropy.

I have to note that the PNC Amphitheater reminds me in appearance of the structure that was right across the street from the former location of the Cotton Tree in Freetown, Sierra Leone.

The Cotton Tree was said to have been felled just last year in a storm on May 25th of 2023.

This was just a couple of months after Chad and I had our first “Deeper Conversation” about trees last spring, in which we talked about the Cotton Tree as being centrally-located on a grid system.

When I found the PNC Amphitheater in Holmdel, I remembered the Wolf Trap National Park for the Performance Arts in Vienna, Virginia, a performing venue near where I grew up in Maryland, and where I have been at least once in my life that I remember.

Wolf Trap is the only National Park dedicated to the performing arts.

Its major performance venue is the Filene Center, an amphitheater which has indoor and outdoor seating for a little over 7,000 people.

When I typed in PNC Amphitheater in Google Earth to get a visual of the relationship to Wolf Trap, the first thing that popped up was the PNC Music Pavilion in Charlotte, North Carolina, which is an amphitheater as well.

I drew a line between the two PNC amphitheaters, and Wolf Trap is off-set from it, but relatively close to the alignment.

All three amphitheaters are situated geographically between the Atlantic Coast the Appalachian Mountains.

The PNC Music Pavilion in Charlotte specializes in hosting large concerts, and has a combined indoor-outdoor seating capacity of 19.500.

In 1993, the final concert of Paul McCartney’s “New World Tour” was held here.

I don’t know.

Maybe I am just reading too much into this image on the album cover of the tour.

Maybe not, but maybe could be. When I first saw the album cover, 9-11 didn’t come to my mind.

But then when I really looked at it, I was reminded of the photo on the left.

These were some of the stage set projections designed for the world tour by British artist and designer Brian Clarke, showing among other things, different types of cathedral windows.

My friend Elin Carlson. a professional singer, had the experience of being on-stage at the ancient Beth-Shean amphitheater in Israel, where the acoustics were so perfect she could whisper on stage and be heard in the top back of the amphitheater.

Elin was part of the collaborative team that recently published “The Lyre’s Masque,” in eBook form, along with myself, Shalamoor Bey, and Stephanie McPeak Petersen, which was brilliantly written by Stephanie.

https://www.buythisbooktoday.com/a-summary-of-the-lyres-masque

Our story involves the Hero’s Journey of our hero, Prince Tamino, from Mozart’s “Magic Flute,” representing Humanity as he goes on an adventure after he accidently portals into the 21st-century while cleaning his flute, to the location where the three Muses of the Lyre, the daughters of Apollo, were living in an RV; learns new lessons with the task required to get him back home, which was playing the lyre he received from Apollo in a Masque for three days to entertain the three Fates; and at the end, wins a victory with his newfound knowledge.

A “Masque”was a courtly form of dramatic entertainment popular among the 16th and 17th-century English nobility.

These same “Masques” also disclose True History in their storylines without calling it that, in the same way that disclosure is encoded in the works of Shakespeare, and other methods of predictive programming before the film-industry.

Back in Sayreville where I was going before I got sidetracked by the adjacent “Cheesequake State Park, big companies including, but not limited to, DuPont established plants in Sayreville for gunpowder production initially in 1898, and later for paint and photo products.

The Raritan River Railroad operated freight and passenger service through here between 1888 and 1980, after which time Conrail took over rail operations.

This is the logo for the Raritan River Railroad on the left and the logo for Rolls Royce is on the right.

The similarity between these two logos tells me these two companies were likely connected in some way. Besides the fact the logos look virtually identical, it brings to mind what I found in Derby, England.

I found Derby near the Algiers’ Circle Alignment as I was tracking it through England.

Derby is the geographic center of England, and the Derwent River Valley in Derbyshire is considered the Birthplace of the Industrial Revolution.

Rolls-Royce is a global aerospace, defense, energy, and marine company focused on world-class power and propulsion systems, and its civil aerospace and nuclear divisions are in Derby…

…as well as the Railway Technical Center, the technical headquarters of British Rail, and considered the largest railway research complex in the world.

There are certainly interconnecting pieces of the puzzle to be found lying around these tidbits of seemingly disconnected information.

Were they all working together to bring already existing railroad infrastructure back on-line?

As we return to the New Jersey Pine Barrens following this linear alignment of Atlantic Coastal Pine Barrens, there are a couple of more things in this area that I would like to bring to your attention.

Ong is a ghost town that falls on the Atlantic Coastal Pine Barren alignment, keeping in mind that the places pinned are where each term came up on the Google Earth search.

Ong, or Ong’s Hat, is a ghost town in the Brandon T. Byrne State Forest, and the northern terminus of the Batona Trail, a 53.5-mile, or 86.1-kilometer, hiking trail through the Pine Barrens.

Ong’s Hat was also considered one of the earliest, internet-based, conspiracy theories.

Ong’s Hat is also listed as the first Alternate Reality Game (ARG) on many lists of ARGs.

We are told that “Ong’s Hat” was a work of alternate-reality collaborative fiction, beginning back in the 1980s and embedded in various media to establish a backstory – like bulletin boards, xerox mail art networks, and zines – and that author Joseph Matheny concluded the project.

Interesting to note on this cover that there are two Moors depicted on it, as seen on the lower left and upper right.

The Ong’s Hat tale is told about a group of physics and science professors from Princeton who ran chaos theory and quantum physics experiments from an ashram there to travel interdimensionally through a device called “The Egg,” and they were camped out in another world.

“The Egg” was said to have been developed by these physicists and scientists as a sensory deprivation chamber, and used by them to determine when a wave becomes a particle.

One day “The Egg” disappeared, and the young man within explained that in the seven-minutes he was gone, he had travelled to an alternate dimension of the Earth.

According to the story about “Ong’s Hat,” these experiments continued over the years, until the military threatened their research, at which time they moved entirely in to the alternate dimension, only coming back for supplies.

“The Egg?” Great Egg Harbor? I don’t know if there is a connection.

Just curious.

What we are told is that Great Egg Harbor was named “Eyren Haven” in Dutch by the Dutch Explorer Cornelius May, for whom Cape May was named sometime around 1614 for all the birds laying eggs he observed here.

Philadelphia is located in close proximity to Ong and the New Jersey Pine Barrens, as it is just 33-miles, or 53-kilometers, roughly due west of Ong.

I am going to come back and spend more time in Philadelphia later in this post, but before I do that, I am going to share more examples I have encountered in my research of exactly the same things we have seen thus far in different places in the United States, and around the world .

Before I do that, however, I want to share a few more bits of information from Philadelphia’s history.

One was the Corliss Engine at the 1876 Centennial Exposition, the first official World’s Fair in the United States that was held in Fairmount Park.

We are told that it was held to celebrate the 100th-Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, but I have long-believed that these Exhibitions, Expositions, and World Fairs, starting with the Crystal Palace Exhibition in London in 1851, which I think officially kicked-off the New World Order timeline, were actually showcasing the high technology and architectural wonders of the original advanced civilization before being hidden away and/or forever destroyed.

We are told that the largest Corliss Steam Engine ever built, with its 1,400-horsepower engine, was on display in, and generated all the energy used in, the Machinery Hall during the 1876 Exhibition.

The Corliss Steam Engine was said to have been invented by George Henry Corliss, and patented in 1849.

It was described as a steam engine fitted with rotary valves and variable valve timing, and generally 30% more fuel efficient than conventional steam engines.

Somebody left me this comment after I uploaded the video four years ago called “Exposing Exihibitions, Expositions, and World Fairs Since 1851” about the Corliss Engine looking like a Rukma Vimana.

I looked it up, and sure enough, it does look like a Rukma Vimana!

This was the frontal view of the Corliss steam engine from the 1876 Centennial Exhibition on the left, and an illustration of the Rukma Vimana on the right.

Vimanas have come down to us as ancient flying vehicles that are described in ancient Indian texts.

A few other places from Philadelphia I would like to mention here.

First is the Wanamaker Grand Court Organ, the largest fully-functioning pipe organ in the world, and located in the 7-story Grand Court of Macy’s Center City, formerly Wanamaker’s Department Store.

Said to have been built for the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, it has 28, 750-pipes and is famous for its orchestra-like sound as it was designed to imitate a full-size orchestra.

After the World’s Fair in St. Louis, it was said to have languished in storage until 1909, at which time it was purchased by John Wanamaker for his department store in Center City, Philadelphia.

Macy’s Center City is literally just around the corner from the Philadelphia City Hall.

This part of Philadelphia is the historic center of the city.

Philadelphia’s City Hall is the world’s tallest, free-standing masonry building, said to have been designed in the ornate Second French Empire-style of Emperor Napoleon III, and constructed from brick, white marble, and limestone between 1871 and 1901.

At the time it was completed, it was said to have the tallest clock-tower in the world.

The Philadelphia City Hall is located above the “City Hall Station,” a subway station that serves the Broad Street Line, and the busiest station on th line.

It first opened in 1928.

Both of these places are located not far the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter & Paul; the Philadelphia Episcopal Cathedral and the 30th Street Station.

The Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter & Paul is the head church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Philadelphia, and said to have been built between 1846 and 1864, which would mean that it would have been completed during the American Civil War.

Like the nearby Macy’s Center City, the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter & Paul also has an organ, one of the largest in Philadelphia, but with only 4,648 pipes, far less than the almost 29,000 pipes of the Wanamaker Organ.

What we are told is that the original Standbridge Organ was installed here in 1868, and it was replaced in 1920 with an Austin Organ, and which since then has supposedly either been rebuilt or replaced several times.

The Philadelphia Episcopal Cathedral is the cathedral church of the Episcopal Diocese of Philadelphia.

It was said to have been built in 1855; renovated in 1898; and rebuilt in 1906, after a fire in April of 1902.

What’s interesting to note is exactly how much the historic train stations, that still remain standing, in some cities look just like cathedrals, like the Philadelphia Episcopal Cathedral on the top left; the Indianapolis Union Station on the top right; the Louisville Union Station on the bottom left; and the main train station on Mumbai, India on the bottom right, originally called the Victoria Terminus in our historical narrative.

And lastly, the “30th Street Station,” also known as the “William H. Gray III 30th Street Station,” near the two Philadelphia Cathedrals, City Hall, and Macy’s City Center with the humongous organ, is metropolitan Philadelphia’s main railroad and intermodal transit station.

The “30th Street Station” was said to have been built between 1927 and 1933, which would have been during the Great Depression.

Now I am going to look at other examples I have found in the course of my research, of many examples, of exactly the same things we have seen thus far in different places in the United States, and around the world as well.

i am going to start by revisiting the US Route 219, of the U. S. Numbered Highway System, which we saw earlier as the “Seneca Trail,” where it passes through West Virginia.

US Route 219 is a spur of the much longer US Route 19.

And, as we’ve already seen, US-219 is the highway corridor that links the bogs of Black Moshannon State Park near Penn State University and State College and Cranberry Glades, near White Sulphur Springs and the Greenbrier Resort. 

Both of these boggy wetlands are located in close proximity to former railroad infrastructure, with the previously seen Snowshoe Rail-to-Trails at Moshannon Creek , and the Greenbrier Rail-to-Trails running along US-219 and the Greenbrier River near Cranberry Glades.

The North-South U. S. Route 19 starts at its northern terminus at U. S Route 20 at Lake Erie in Erie, Pennsylvania.

Erie is located just about right in-between Cleveland, Ohio, which is 90-miles, or 140-kilometers, southwest of Erie, and Buffalo, New York, 80-miles, or 130-kilometers, northeast, on the southern shore of Lake Erie.

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.

There are several things to note about the terminus at both ends and places where US-20 crosses.

First, the Eastern terminus of US – 20 at Kenmore Square.

2 Kenmore Square is located next to Boston University next to the Charles River, and is directly across from Fenway Park, home of the city’s Major League Baseball team, the Boston Red Sox.

This location referred to as the “Fenway-Kenmore” neighborhood is adjacent to Back Bay, another officially recognized neighborhood of Boston.

When I searched for “Kenmore Square,” the most noteworthy thing that popped up was the gigantic “Citgo” sign, one form or another of which has dominated the view of Kenmore Square since 1940.

Citgo was founded in 1910 as the “Cities Services Company” by oilman Henry Doherty, and was one of the first companies to supply gas and electricity to public utilities in the United States.

The “Cities Services Company” introduced the “Koolmotor” high-octane gasoline in the 1920s.

Boston University was established in 1839 as a Methodist-affiliated Biblical Institute.

It was chartered by the Massachusetts Legislature as as Boston University in 1869.

Interesting to note since he appeared earlier in this post that Alexander Graham Bell was credited with the invention of the telephone in a Boston University laboratory sometime around 1876, during the time he was a professor here from 1874 to 1879.

The street address of Fenway Park is “4 Jersey Street,” which is located less than a mile from Kenmore Square.

It is the oldest stadium in Major League Baseball.

It was said to have been constructed starting in 1911 on an asymmetical block, which resulted in asymmetrical field dimensions, in the Fenway neighborhood of Boston.

One of its nicknames is the “Cathedral of Baseball.”

The first game at Fenway Park was played on April 20th of 1912, only five-days after the sinking of the RMS Titanic, which shared front-page newspaper space with the coverage of the opening of Fenway Park.

The Fenway-Kenmore neighborhood is separated from the Back Bay neighborhood by the Massachusetts Turnpike, which is concurrent with Interstate-90, the longest Interstate Highway in the United States, which has a total distance of 3,021-miles, or 4,862-kilometers, betweeen Boston and Seattle, Washington.

U. S. Route 20 is roughly parallel to Interstate-90 from Boston until Rockford, Illinos, where I-90 heads northwest towards Seattle and US-20 heads northwest to Newport, Oregon.

The East Fenway location in this neighborhood, which is generally south of the Massachusetts Turnpike, is separated from West Fenway by what is called the “Muddy River,” which flows through the “Back Bay Fens” into the Charles River north of Kenmore.

The Muddy River is described as a series of brooks and ponds that runs through sections of Boston’s Emerald Necklace through the Back Bay Fens towards its connection to the Charles River in the Charlesgate area.

Frederick Law Olmsted was credited as the primary landscape architect of the Emerald Necklace system of parks in the 1870s, and he was credited with the design for lots and lots of parks and greenways throughout the country.

Frederick Law Olmsted was also a member of the previously mentioned Century Association, like the architectural firm of McKim, Meade and White that we have already seen several times in this post.

The Back Bay Fens are described as an ancient spot of saltwater marshland that has been surrounded by dry land and disconnected from the tides of the Atlantic Ocean.

It is possible to still see the S-shaped riverbends in this location.

We are told that it was established as a park in 1879 after having been designed by Frederick Law Olmsted as a park in the Emerald Necklace system of parks.

This was the Stony Brook Bridge circa 1898 in the Back Bay Fens.

We are told this one and one other bridge crossing the Stony Brook Canal were demolished when the canal was filled-in.

The high-end Back Bay Neighborhood, adjacent to the Fenway-Kenmore neighborhood, was said to have been built on reclaimed land in the Charles River Basin, with construction beginning in 1859.

Like what we saw earlier with the examples of Martha’s Vineyard and Long Island, it is an affluent shopping and dining destination, and one of the most expensive residential neighborhoods in Boston.

We are told that starting in 1857, gravel and other fill was transported by rail day and night quarries in the surrounding area.

What we are told is that present-day Back Bay was filled-in by 1882; the project reached existing land at Kenmore Square by 1890; and finished the Fens by 1900.

We are told that by 1900, the area was fully built.

Going east on Interstate-90 after it crosses Boston Harbor in East Boston, we come to Logan International Airport.

We pass by the North and South Stations as we head towards the Boston Harbor, and numerous Harbor Islands, star forts and lighthouses.

This is a 1902 map of various railroad terminals and facilities in Boston, said to date from shortly after the North Union Station and South Station were created.

The North Union Station was said to have been built by one of the railroads operating here, the Boston and Maine, between starting in 1893 and built in stages until its opening in 1894.

Today’s North Station is a commuter rail, subway, and bus station.

The South Station Complex is the second busiest transportation center in New England after Logan International Airport, with local commuter rail and Amtrak interurban passenger services, underground levels and bus services.

It first opened in 1900 for the “Atlantic Avenue Elevated,” which was part of Boston’s Main Line Elevated, which was founded in 1894.

The “Atlantic Avenue El” was in operation from 1901 to 1938, at which time its operation was ended…

…and in 1942, the former elevated railway infrastructure here was demolished and sold for scrap.

The new South Station Tower rising above the South Station is being described as a mixed-use tower for commercial and residential space situated over Boston’s most connected and active transit hub, and is being described as “Boston’s Center of Gravity.”

The first thing that strikes me about Logan International Airport is that is located right next to Boston Harbor, which is described as a natural harbor and estuary of Massachusetts Bay, and the same configuration as the international airports we saw earlier in New York, Sydney, and Pohnpei, as they are also right next to bodies of water described as estuaries or lagoons.

Another thing to note is that Logan International Airport, like most of Boston today, is situated on reclaimed land.

Boston Harbor is described as natural and estuary, and has a considerable number of islands, thirty-four of which have been part of the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreational Area since 1996.

Found within the Harbor Islands, there are five star forts – Fort Independence, Fort Warren, Fort Andrews, Fort Revere, and Fort Strong – and four light houses – the Long Island Head Light, the Deer Island Light; the Boston Light; and the Graves Light.

There may be more, but this is what I have been able to find.

Fort Warren on Georges Island at the entrance to Boston Harbor was said to have been built as a fortification between 1833 and 1861…

…Fort Andrews on Peddecks Island as a fortification between 1898 and 1904…

…Fort Independence, said to have been constructed as a fortification between 1833 and 1851…

…Fort Revere Park, located in Hull, Massachusetts on what is described as a small peninsula, and said to be the location of two fortifications, one from the American Revolution, and one from 1898 to 1947.

…and Fort Strong was said to have been built on Boston Harbor’s Long Island between 1893 and 1906 as part of the Coastal Defenses of Boston.

Since being decommissioned in 1947 after World War II, it was used as a Nike Missile Shelter until 1961, and between 2005 and 2009 was redeveloped as a children’s summer camp then a homeless shelter.

All activity ended here after the island’s bridge was demolished in 2014 due to safety concerns.

With regards to the lighthouses here, the Boston Light is located on Little Brewster Island.

The current one here was said to date from 1783, and is the second-oldest working lighthouse in the United States.

We are told the original lighthouse here was built in 1716, and was the first lighthouse to be built in the United States.

When I was looking for information on the Boston Light, I found the Graves Light, which is nearby on the outermost island of the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area, and was said to have been built in 1905…

…at the same time the North Channel into Boston Harbor was dredged in order to become the principal entrance for large vessels.

The original Deer Island Light was said to have been constructed at the end of a reef that extends about 1,500-feet, or 460-meters, south from Deer Island.

The original lighthouse here was described as a three-story building that had a veranda with boat davits and a circular parapet, and that a spiral staircase went from the cellar to the top floor.

We are told this structure gradually deteriorated, and starting in 1982, it was replaced several times.

This is what is there today.

Lastly, the current Long Island Head Light in Boston Harbor, near the location of Fort Strong…

…was said to have been constructed in 1901, though we are told there has been a lighthouse in one form or another since 1819.

I am going to come back to tie everything together on what I believe we are seeing with regards to all of the airports, railroads, star forts and lighthouses all being in locations with the same characteristics of wetlands, shallow water, and sunken lands, as well as deserts and dunes, and the same sketchy stories that go along with them to explain their existence.

But before I do that, I want to share more places with similar characteristics in very different places.

I am going to start by going west across I-90 from Logan International Airport, which runs parallel to US-20 until Rockford, Illinois.

Now, I am going to look at where the original highway, US-20, crosses along northwestern Ohio at the southern shore of Lake Erie where the historical “Great Black Swamp” was located.

The section of US-20 between Perryburg and Fremont started out as the 31-mile, or 50-kilometer, – long “Maumee & Western Reserve Road,” or “Mud Pike.”

We are told that at the time it was being developed in the late 1700s, what became the “Mud Pike” was the most direct and passable route through what was described as the nearly uninhabitable swampland.

The 1795 Treaty of Greenville had opened the Northwest Territory for settlement, but the Great Black Swamp stood in the way between the newly acquired Northwest Territory and settlers.

It was called the “worst road on the continent” early in its existence for the mud-holes that would trap wagon wheels and draft animals and its slow travel, though it was gradually improved as the swampland was drained in the mid-to-late 19th-century.

I found this newspaper clipping from the Newark Advocate in 1902 in my past research describing a giant skeleton that was found in Bowling Green in northwestern Ohio that was over 8-feet, or 2.5-meters, -tall.

Bowling Green in Ohio is located within the “Great Black Swamp,” between Fort Wayne in Indiana and the southern shore of Lake Erie in northwest Ohio.

Interesting to note all the historic rail-lines that go through the same area as the Great Black Swamp in Northwest Ohio, circa this 1914 Ohio Public Utilities Commission Railroad map of Ohio, with Bowling Green where the giant skeleton was found circled in red.

The story that accompanies the existence of the railroads is that they were all constructed after the swamp land was drained, and that was what made the construction of the railroads possible.

But I continue to have serious doubts that railroads were constructed by the people who said they built them when they were said to have been built.

My belief falls along the lines that they were already there and being made serviceable once again after the swamp land was drained and/or reclaimed.

US-20 as well crosses northern Indiana at Lake Superior where the Indiana Dunes, and co-located marsh wetlands, and Gary, are found on the American Discovery Trail, as we saw earlier in this post.

The “Great Black Swamp,” on the southern shore of Lake Erie, and the “Indiana Dunes” on the southern shore of Lake Michigan are located geographically quite close together.

And just like the “South Shore Line” we saw earlier along that same stretch of land next to the Indiana Dunes and Gary, it looks like US-20 and the Lake Shore Line, along with Interstate-90, run a similar route together from Boston to Chicago.

The Lake Shore Line is operated today by Amtrak as the “Lake Shore Limited.”

The Rock Island Line was an historic railroad that connected Rock Island, Illinois, with Chicago in this part of the world, just to the west of the Indiana Dunes and the Great Black Swamp.

Here’s a video clip of “Rock Island Line,” from the opening scene of “The Music Man.”

Popular musicals like “The Music Man,” first a hit on Broadway in 1957 and adapted to film in 1962, were very much a part of framing our new world view.

Now I am going to head on over to the west coast of the United States and take a look around, starting on the western terminus of I-90 at Seattle in Washington, which is located on the Puget Sound.

Like what we saw on the East Coast with the New York – New Jersey Harbor Estuary System and Long Island Sound, Puget Sound is also described as a complex estuary system of connected marine waterways and basins, with an estuary defined as a partially-enclosed coastal body of brackish water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, with brackish meaning a combination of salt-water and fresh-water.

The coast-line of Puget Sound in Washington State has nine locations that were listed as the “Harbor Defenses of Puget Sound” and eleven lighthouse locations…

…and the coastline of nearby Vancouver Island of British Columbia, for example, separated from the United States by the Juan de Fuca Strait…

…is similarly loaded with forts …

…and lighthouses.

I also looked for the “sounds” I could find in in and around Puget Sound.

Like in Victoria on Vancouver Island, the capital city of British Columbia, where I found places like the Netherlands Centennial Carillon and the Christ Church Cathedral.

The 62-bell Netherlands Centennial Carillon was said to have been given by the Dutch community of British Columbia in thanks for Canada’s role in liberating The Netherlands in World War II, and officially opened in May of 1968.

The Carillon is located in front of the Royal British Columbia Museum, which was founded as a history museum in 1886…

…and across the street from the British Columbia Parliament Building, said to have been built in the Neo-Baroque Renaissance Romanesque Revival-style based on the winning contest design of a recent 25-year-old English immigrant to Victoria by the name of Francis Rattenbury, and first opened in 1898.

The Christ Church Cathedral in Victoria is the Cathedral Church of the Diocese of British Columbia of the Anglican Church of Canada.

The present church was said to have been based on the winning design from a competition that was held between 1891 and 1893, and from which Victoria architect J. C. M. Keith was announced the winner, but that it didn’t actually get constructed until starting in 1923 because of funding difficulties, which turned it into an on-going construction project over decades.

The Christ Church Cathedral has the largest organ on Vancouver Island with over 4,000 pipes, designed around the rose window of the Cathedral’s west wall.

They say that the organ was constructed in 2005, with incredible precision and craftsmanship emulating building practices from hundreds of years ago, but they also tell us the Cathedral was built in the 20th-century from the winning design in a contest as just mentioned.

Let’s just say I have my doubts.

Christ Church Cathedral also has ten bells that are rung twice every Sunday before each service and on special occasions.

In Port Townsend, Washington, on the other side of the Juan de Fuca Strait from Victoria, there is what is called the “Fire Bell Tower.”

The “Fire Bell Tower” was said to have been built in 1890 to hold a 1,500-pound, or 680-kilogram, brass bell that was a fire-alarm and the city’s new $900 fire engine.

It is the only known tower of its kind in the United States.

Lastly on Puget Sound “sound,” I am going to look at the St. James Catholic Cathedral in Seattle, the mother church of the Archdiocese of Seattle.

It was said to have been constructed between 1905 and 1907 in the Renaissance Revival Architectural-style.

It once had a dome, but unfortunately, we are told that in February of 1916, the 60-foot dome that stood atop the cathedral collapsed under the weight of heavy snow accumulation from a colossal snowstorm, and was never rebuilt.

There are several organs in the St. James Cathedral.

The oldest is said to be a Hutchings-Votey organ in the West Gallery that dates to 1907, and designed by famed Boston organ designer George Hutchings in close collaboration with the cathedral’s first organist.

Next, I am just going to focus on three of the forts in Puget Sound and their nearby lighthouses for this post.

All three of these locations are near Port Townsend, an historic seaport in the Puget Sound.

Port Townsend first became a settlement on April 24th of 1851, the year it was first incorporated.

Port Townsend is located next to the entrance of Puget Sound, and called the “City of Dreams” because of early speculation that it would become the west coast’s largest harbor, and is known by its other nickname, the “Key City,” today.

We are told that by the late 19th-century, the town was very active in getting ready for its future expected growth, and that many ornate, Victorian architecture was built here during this time.

What we are told is that though railroad extensions were planned to the port, the Panic of 1893, an economic depression lasting until 1897, caused the funding to dry up and the railroad-lines ended on the other side of Puget sound, and for this reason, Port Townsend never achieved its expected growth, and instead immediately started to decline.

Interesting to note there is also a “Rothschild House” in Port Townsend.

The Rothschild House was said to have been built by David Charles Henry Rothschild as a family home in 1868, and operates as a museum today.

He had immigrated from Bavaria in Germany to the United States in the mid-1840s.

Shortly after settling in Port Townsend in 1858, David Rothschild, known as “The Baron,” he established a business there that not only operated as a mercantile store, but as well as provisioned ships and did some marine salvage work.

The Rothschilds were to Europe what the Rockefellers were to the United States.

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

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

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

By the time of his death in 1836, Nathan Mayer Rothschild had secured the position of the Rothschilds as the preeminent investment bankers in Britain and Europe, and his own personal net worth was over 60% of the British national income.

Now I am going to take a look at the three forts and their lighthouses in Puget Sound near Port Townsend.

Fort Worden was said to have been constructed between 1898 and 1920 and as an artillery corps base to protect Puget Sound from invasion by sea, and was active as a U. S. Army base between 1902 and 1953.

From 1957 until its closure in 1971, it was utilized by the State of Washington as a Juvenile Detention facility, after which time it was turned into state park

The address for the Fort Worden State Park is 200 Battery Way E in Port Townsend.

The Point Wilson Lighthouse is on the grounds of the Fort Worden State Park, and considered to be one of the most important navigational aids in the state, where it overlooks the entrance to Admiralty Inlet that connects the Strait of Juan de Fuca with Puget Sound.

Reportedly the second lighthouse said to have been built here, it was said to have been completed in 1914, replacing an earlier one that opened in 1879.

Fort Flagler was located in nearby Nordland, Washington, at the northern end of Marrowstone Island at the entrance of Admiralty Inlet, and the Marrowstone Point Lighthouse is located nearby.

We are told that Fort Flagler, along with Fort Worden and Fort Casey, was part of a Coast Artillery said to have been built starting in the 1890s that guarded Admiralty Inlet and the entrance to Puget Sound, the major cities of which include Seattle and Tacoma.

Fort Casey was located on Whidbey Island, the largest island in Washington State, and forms the northern border of Puget Sound.

The Admiralty Head Lighthouse is located within the Fort Casey State Park.

We are told these three forts were intended to be a “Triangle of Fire” against invasion from the sea.

Over across the North American Continent and Atlantic Ocean to South Wales, where we are told that starting in the mid-19th-century, three Palmerston Forts in a triangular configuration were constructed at the entrance to the Milford Haven Waterway as a coastal artillery forts designed to provide “interlocking fire” in the event of an invasion from the forces of the French Emperor Napoleon III.

Palmerston Forts, said to have been built starting in the mid-19th-century as a result of the recommendations from the 1859 Royal Commission on the Defense of the United Kingdom when Lord Palmerston was the Prime Minister of England during the reign of Queen Victoria.

Trinity House was said to have first built two lighthouses on St. Ann’s Head in 1714 at the entrance to the Milford Haven Waterway to guide ships around rocks hazardous to shipping.

The St. Ann’s Head Low Lighthouse was said to have been re- built in 1844 because of cliff erosion endangering the original as seen on the left, with cliff erosion being an issue that we have already seen with the Gay Head Lighthouse on the Aquinnah Cliffs of Martha’s Vineyard on the top right, and the Southeast Lighthouse of Block Island on the bottom right.

Here are my thoughts on what the original purpose was of some of the infrastructure looked at thus far.

First, star forts

One of the definitions of 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.”

I believe star forts were not originally military in nature, but were actually functioning as “batteries” on the original energy grid.

I find star forts in pairs and clusters all over the Earth, meeting this definition of “battery” where cells arranged in parallel or series produce electricity.

If there’s only one in a particular location, it means that the original pair or cluster doesn’t either doesn’t exist any more, or is no longer recognizable as such.

Star Forts instead were repurposed in our historical reset narrative as military fortifications and “batteries,” with the definition of “battery” referring to weapons that launch munitions far beyond the range and power of infantry firearmsin order to saturate an area rather than hit a specific target, and instantly had a reason for their existence in the new narrative, and thereby became a target for destruction as military “fortifications.”

I think lighthouses were also originally part of the Earth’s Energy Grid system and are being used in a different capacity as navigational aids than what they were originally being utilized for, if they are even still being used because many, like the so-called “military fortifications,” they have been taken down and not longer exist, or have been decommissioned.

I have come to believe “lighthouses” were literally “a house for light” for the purposes of precisely distributing the 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.

As one of the examples in the lower-left hand corner, the Statue of Liberty was operational as a lighthouse from November 1st of 1886 to 1906.

And, at this point in my research from the past and in the present, I think that ancient giant trees and the root system emanating from them were an integral part of the Earth’s energy grid and leyline system.

I delve more into that aspect of the energy grid in the other parts of this series.

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, and nowadays, the giant tree “roots,” are 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.

Other components of the Earth’s Grid System, which was a perfectly-tuned scientific and musical instrument, included the following infrastructure as well:

Cathedrals.

The Greek words “kathados” or “kata” mean “descent” or “down.”

“Hedral” refers to a 3D geometric solid.

Cathedrals were acoustic/frequency/energy resonators.

Resonators are used to either generate waves of specific frequencies or to select specific frequencies from a signal.

Let’s look at several aspects of the function of cathedrals as frequency-generators and transmitters.

One example came from an article about “Elliptical Polarization,” in which I encountered the diagram on the left showing the efficiency in decibels of the axial ratio of two antenna, and the shapes formed in the graph immediately brought this common shape of windows in cathedrals on the right, visually demonstrating that these windows were actually functioning as antennae.

Then there is this Walter Russell diagram on the left and cathedral door n the right showing what looks to be a relationship between cathedral doors and octaves, which are the intervals between one musical pitch and another with double its frequency.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is Octave-Chart-Church-Door.png

Cathedral Rose windows look like the cymatic patterns of musical notes.

With the massive organ pipes surrounding the cathedral rose window, it appears as though this was a musical system designed to generate waves of specific frequencies, like Solfeggio frequencies, through this type of window.

Solfeggio frequencies make-up the ancient six-tone scale used in sacred music, like, for example, Gregorian chants and Tibetan singing bowls.

Each solfeggio tone is a frequency that can be used to balance one’s energy and keep one’s body, mind, and spirit in harmony.

This is the St. Mary of the Mount Church on the edge of Mount Washington in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The windows at the front of the church here also resemble in appearance the patterns of some hydrogen wave functions.

Could this type of window perhaps be connected to atomic wave functions?

Pipe organs are musical instruments that produce sound by driving pressurized air through organ pipes selected from a keyboard.

In biology, what is called an organ is a collection of tissues that structurally form a functional unit specialized to perform a particular function, from the Latin “organum,” meaning an instrument or tool.

Makes me wonder if similarly, pipe organs produced specific frequencies at specific times for specific reasons as needed by the system as a whole.

And the last example of grid system infrastrucure that I am going to talk about here are bell-towers, also known as campaniles, as well were an integral part of an interconnected, functional system of a civilization that knew exactly how to utilize frequency and vibration in fundamental and harmonious ways.

I have highlighted several already in this post, and have encountered several in past research.

For example, this is the Bok Tower in the Bok Gardens at Lake Wales, in Florida.

It is located on what is called Iron Mountain, one of the highest points on the Florida Peninsula.

It was said to have been commissioned by Dutch immigrant and “Ladies Home Journal” magazine editor at one time, Edward Bok, and said to have been built between 1927 and 1929, when it was dedicated by President Calvin Coolidge.

Edward Bok died in 1930, the year after the completion of the bell-tower that carries his name.

Another bell-tower in Florida is the Citrus Tower in Clermont, near Orlando.

It opened in 1956, and was a big, pre-Disney World, tourist attraction in its hey-day.

What was the purpose of these massive bell-towers reaching up to the clouds for the original civilization?

Were these tall generators of healing and harmonious frequencies for the benefit and balance of all of Creation?

Now, back to the U. S. West Coast.

From the Seattle-area and Puget Sound, I am going to head south approximately 175-miles, or 280-kilometers, to Portland, Oregon’s largest city.

I already I know I could spend hours and hours looking around here and find much, but I am going to only focus on an area I found when I was doing research awhile back in this part of Portland directly across the Columbia River from Vancouver, Washington, and that is what is called the “Smith & Bybee Wetlands Natural Area.

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 called one the largest urban freshwater wetlands in the United States, and provides habitat for a wide variety of wildlife.

I noticed a star fort-point-shape in the landscape I took a look around the Smith & Bybee Wetlands Natural Area, both of which are located right next to the still-operating BNSF Ford Railyard, which is located right next the Columbia River.

The Bybee Lakes Hope Center is located on top of the star-fort-point, which has been a homeless shelter since October of 2020.

Prior to that, it was the Wapato Jail, said to have cost $58-million to built, but which was never used as a jail because Multonomah County could not afford to operate it as such.

It is very interesting to note what is found directly across Oregon Route 120 from the Smith & Bybee Wetlands Natural area.

First, Oregon Route 120 is a 2.71-mile, or 4.36-kilometer, – long, unsigned road next to railroad tracks.

Directly on the other side of Oregon Route 120 from the Smith and Bybee Wetlands Natural area are the following in close proximity to each other:

Three golf courses – the Heron Lakes Golf Club; the Columbia-Edgewater Country Club; and the Riverside Golf and Country Club; the Portland International Raceway; the Portland Expo Center; and the Portland International Airport.

Also, while I was also looking around this same area, I came across the Bell-Tower in Esther Short Park in Vancouver, Washington, directly across the Columbia River.

The Salmon Run Bell Tower is located here in the southeast corner of the park.

It is 69-feet, or 21-meters, tall, and the bell-tower, clock-tower, with a glockenspiel as well, and was said to have been dedicated in 2002.

The Pacific Highway Interstate Bridge, a pair of steel, vertical-lift truss bridges, carries Interstate-5 over the Columbia River between Vancouver and Portland, and heading south through Portland, passes right between the Heron Lakes Golf Club, Portland International Raceway and Portland Expo Center on one side, and the other two golf country clubs and the Portland International Airport on the other side.

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

Construction of this bridge 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.

The Burlington Northern Railroad Bridge 9.6, said to have been built between 1906 and 1908, connects Vancouver, Washington with Portland across the Columbia River via Hayden Island and connects to Oregon Route 120.

It is a through-truss, swing-bridge said to have been completed in 1908.

The railroad travels beside the Smith and Bybee Wetlands on one side, and the Heron Lakes Golf Club on the other side on Oregon Route 120…

…and the railroad crosses over the Willamette River via the Burlington Northern Railroad Bridge 5.1, a through-truss, vertical-lift bridge today, but said to have had a swing-span when it was completed in 1908.

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

Now, I am heading south from here down the Pacific Coast to California’s Channel Islands, which I have also researched before.

California’s eight Channel Islands are located within the Southern California Bight.

Besides the Channel Islands, the Southern California Bight includes the Coronado Islands and the Isla de Todo Santos of Baja California, coastal southern California and the local portion of the Pacific Ocean.

The bight is described as a significant curvature and indentation along the coast between Point Conception to just below San Diego, at Punta Colonet in Baja California, and that the waters offshore have complex current circulation patterns, with cold, southward flowing waters seen displayed in blue in this satellite image of Sea Surface Temperature, and northward flowing warm waters in yellow and orange.

The four North Channel Islands of San Miguel, Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz and Anacapa were said to have been a landmass at one time called Santarosae.

What we are told is that they are the remnants of an ancient landmass off the coast of present-day southern California prior to the end of the last ice age, and that Santarosae lost 70% of its landmass because the sea rose from melting glaciers, leaving a huge submerged landscape that is currently being explored by scientists.

Santarosae is called “California’s Atlantis” by some.

So what we are told about California being an island is that it was one of the most famous map-making errors in history, with the error being reproduced on countless maps during the 17th- and 18th-centuries, despite contradictory evidence from various explorers.

The legend associated with the Island of California was that it was an earthly paradise, like Atlantis or the Garden of Eden.

In 1510, we are told the first known mention of the Island of California was in the fictional novel “Tales of the Knight Esplandian and the Queen of California,” a novel by Castilian Spanish author Garci Rodriguez de Montalvo describing a fictional island named California that was inhabited by only black women, and ruled by Queen Calafia.

Here is a passage from the book:

“Know that on the right-hand of the Indies, there is an island called California very close to the side of the Terrestrial Paradise, and it is peopled by black women, without any man among them, for they live in the manner of Amazons.”

Where did that idea come from?

Queen Calafia’s life and place in history are described as entirely fictional, though she is depicted as the spirit California, and symbolizes an untamed and bountiful land prior to European settlement.

Twenty-years before the publication of “Tales of the Knight Esplandian,” the first grammar text for Castilian Spanish was published in 1492.

It was the first book dedicated to the Spanish language and its rules, and the first grammar of a modern European language to be published in print.

In our historical narrative, the year of 1492 was also the year of the Fall of Granada in Moorish Spain…

…and the year of Columbus’ first voyage.

Columbus First Voyage

With regards to the Southern California Bight, there are estuaries along it like estuaries we have already seen further up on the Pacific Coast in Puget Sound and on the East Coast with and the New York – New Jersey Bight.

Here is an example of the same sheared-off, unstable-eroded-looking landscape, as seen on this stretch of coastal road beside the Southern California Bight on the West Coast on the left, and the Aquinnah Cliffs on Martha’s Vineyard on the East Coast that we saw earlier in this post.

There is still an active Amtrak passenger railroad line, called the “Pacific Surfliner,” running along the Pacific Coast of the Southern California for 351-miles, or 565-kilometers, from San Diego to San Luis Obispo…

…and, like some lighthouses we have already seen in this post, is endangered by crumbling cliffs from coastal erosion, and we are told is under consideration for being moved in-land.

There are also lighthouses found along the coast of Southern California, like the Santa Barbara lighthouse in the top middle; the Point Vicente Lighthouse on the top right, both high atop cliffs next to the shore line; the Los Angeles Harbor Lighthouse on the bottom middle, as seen with a perfect solar alignment; and the Long Beach lighthouse with a lunar alignment on the bottom right.

One more place I would like to mention in California’s Channel Islands is the Catalina Casino in Avalon on Santa Catalina Island.

This is the Catalina Casino, which was said to have been built starting in 1928, and first opened in 1929.

The Catalina Casino houses things like a movie theater and a ballroom.

The movie theater still has its original pipe organ intact.

The acoustics are so good in the Catalina Casino’s movie theater that someone speaking on the stage can be heard without using a microphone and be heard clearly by everyone in the 1,154-seat capacity auditorium.

The Catalina Casino’s ballroom is the world’s largest circular ballroom, with a 180-foot, or 55-meter, dance floor that can accommodate 3,000 dancers.

Now, as I head over to Australia from the Pacific Coast of North America, I would like to share what I found at the chain of low islands and reefs called Adam’s Bridge, also known as Rama’s Bridge, or Ramsethu, which separates the southern tip of India from Sri Lanka…

There’s a rail-line today that still operates from the town of Mandapam in Tamil Nadu to the Indian side of Adam’s Bridge.

The Pamban Bridge crossing through here is described as a masterpiece of engineering, and like what we saw back in Portland, has a movable section midway that is raised to allow ship and barge traffic to pass through.

Over a mile-long, at 6,776-feet, or 2,065-meters, It was said to have been constructed between 1911 and 1914, which was the year World War I started, and around the same time the Pacific Highway Interstate Bridge was said to have been constructed during World War I, between 1915 and 1917.

 You can take a ferry across, in the same general location as the sunken parts of Adam’s Bridge, to Talaimannar, on Sri Lanka’s Mannar Island, and catch the train on to anywhere you want to go in Sri Lanka.

Sure looks like this part of the world was all-connected together at one time, and not that long ago.

Another example of a rail-line in an anomalous place is at the pink-colored Lake Burlinskoye in Siberia, where the rail-line still operates right through the water.

Do you think they ctually built the rail-line through water, or could it possibly have been above water at one time?

And the Salta-Antofagasta railway links Argentina and Chile through one of the driest places on Earth, the Atacama Desert across the Andes Mountains.

These are just a few of many examples of railroads in anomalous places, and there are many more rail-lines that have been abandoned or removed all over the world.

Now I am heading to the southern coast of Australia, and my starting point “Down Under” is Port Campbell, which is 142-miles, or 229-kilometers from Melbourne.

It is the location of what are called “The Twelve Apostles.”

They are described as a collection of limestone stacks referred to as “Port Campbell Limestone,” deposited there in the Miocene Age 15- to- 5-million years ago, and that the stacks were formed by erosion from waves and harsh weather conditions over time.

So clearly that is what they want to us to believe about their origins – all the result of natural geologic processes over time.

The Twelve Apostles are the main attraction found on the Great Ocean Road between Torquay and Port Fairy along the southern coast of Australia in Victoria State.

Before I go on to talk about the lighthouses found along Australia’s southern coast on the Great Ocean Road, I would like to bring up the railroad here.

Today, what is called the Overland Railroad runs near the southern coast between Melbourne and Adelaide, which is part of the New South Wales Train Link that runs up the east coast from Melbourne to Sydney and Brisbane.

Viewer SL from Australia sent me these photos she took in Bundabah, New South Wales, which is 97-miles, or 156-kilometers to the northeast of Sydney on the east coast of Australia, and said the following in her email:

“I found these rock platforms on low tide at a little place / bay  called Bundabah NSW, Australia. They are only visible at low tide. The village of Bundabah is not very populated itsself but is joined to a larger ocean inlet / larger harbour, and the well known tourist destination Port Stephens across the way once out of this small cove / bay.

The photo from Bundabah that SL took at low-tide on the left of what appears to be megalithic stone work going downwards into the water, reminded me of a photo of an example of what are called “cart ruts” going downwards into the water found in the island Republic of Malta in the Mediterranean Sea.

SL went on to say “They say Bundabah was settled mid 1800’s, but if you look on google maps you can see there is not much here, not even a shop just a bunch of houses earliest look circa 1940’s /50’s. “

When I looked, I found that the NSW Train Link passes near, but not directly through, Bundabah on its way to Brisbane.

I would like to include here some information on Sydney I encountered in my research for this post that sounded very much like what I was looking at around the area of the Philadelphia City Hall in Center City.

This is the Sydney Town Hall on the left.

It was said to have been built between 1869 and 1889 in the Victorian Second Empire Architectural Style, that was inspired by the Second French Architectural style, on top of the location of the former “Old Sydney Burial Ground,” utilized as Sydney’s first permanent cemetery between 1792 and 1820, where we are told about 2,000 people were buried but no register was kept.

The Philadelphia City Hall on the right was said to have been built in the Second French Empire Architectural Style between 1871 and 1901, as mentioned previously.

The Sydney Town Hall Grand Organ is the world’s largest organ without any electrical action components, in comparison with the Wanamaker Grand Court Organ, the largest fully-functioning pipe organ in the world, in the Macy’s Center City department store olocated right next to the Philadelphia City Hall, as mentioned earlier in this post.

The Sydney Town Hall Grand Organ is considered the pinnacle of British achievement in organs during the Victorian-era.

It was said to have been constructed between 1886 and 1889 by Hill & Son of London.

Also like the Philadelphia City Hall, the Sydney Town Hall is located right above the Town Hall Station, a heritage-listed, multilevel underground commuter rail station.

This underground rail station first opened in 1932.

The Sydney Town Hall is located beside St. Andrews Cathedral and opposite the Queen Victoria Building.

St. Andrews Cathedral is a cathedral church of the Anglican Diocese of Sydney and the seat of the Archbishop of Sydney.

Called the oldest cathedral in Australia, it was said to have been designed primarily by Australian architect Edmund Blacket, and constructed between 1837 and 1868, at which time it was ready for services.

Like the adjacent Sydney Town Hall, the St. Andrews Cathedral is said to have a Hill & Son of London pipe organ, which was said to have been installed in 1866 in the Cathedral’s South Transept.

The Queen Victoria building opposite the Sydney Town Hall is described as a 5-story, late 19th-century building in Sydney’s Central Business District.

It was said to have been designed on the “Scale of a Cathedral” by the architect George McRae, and constructed between 1893 and 1898. 

It has over 20 domes and cathedral style windows.

During its history, it has had some different uses, but primarily as retail space, which it is today.

It is interesting to note that the Queen Victoria building has been threatened with demolition at various time over the years, starting as early as 1959.

This newspaper headline says “Tear down this city horror!”

 Makes sense, right?

The Sydney Central Railway Station is just south of this location and all of these places are between Botany Bay and the Sydney International Airport to the South and Sydney Harbor to the North.

The Central Railway Station is Australia’s largest railway station and a major transport interchange.

Said to be the third terminal in Sydney, it was said to have opened in 1906 and designed by the New South Wales Government Architect Walter Liberty Vernon, who was credited with a number of buildings there designed in what was called the Classical -style of public buildings.

Now back to lighthouses.

There are five lighthouses on the coast found along the Great Ocean Road.

The Split Point Lighthouse at Airey’s Inlet was said to have been constructed in 1891, and which apparently aligns with the Milky Way.

The Cape Otway Lighthouse on the Victoria coast near the Twelve Apostles, and is said to be the oldest surviving lighthouse in Australia, said to have been built in 1848 also with a nice alignment to the Milky Way.

The two lighthouses at Lady Bay come next, located in the Flagstaff Hill Maritime Museum in Warrnambool, and the Lady Bay Complex was originally built between 1858 and 1859, with something of a convoluted history of being moved from original locations and so forth.

Lastly on the Great Ocean Road, the Port Fairy Lighthouse on Griffiths Island was said to have been built in 1859, shown here with the sun coming up behind it in alignment.

The southern coast of Australia, generally considered to be along the Indian Ocean, but also considered part of the Southern, or Antarctic, Ocean, is where we find another bight – the Great Australian Bight.

The Nullarbor Plain roughtly stretches between Israelite Bay on the western end of the Great Australian Bight, and Spencer Gulf on the eastern side of the Bight.

This is the traditional land of the Yinyila Nation of Mirning Clans.

Some interesting things about the Nullarbor Plain include:

It is the world’s largest single exposure of limestone bedrock…

…and it has the longest section of both straight railroad and straight highway in Australia.

Today, the Indian Pacific experiential tourism passenger train crosses the the Nullarbor Plain and the Australian Outback, running east-west between Sydney on the Pacific Ocean, and Perth on the Indian Ocean.

One of its stops is the Rawlinna Station, which was mentioned by Stephanie McPeak Petersen in her “The Golden Fleece of Tartaria & Operation Merino” video.

Rawlinna Station is Australia’s largest sheep station, running up to 65,000 Merino Sheep in a good season.

The desert Outback, described as a remote, vast, and sparsely populated area, extends across Australia, from East to West and North to South.

The Ghan Train is another experiential tourism passenger train that runs North to South, from Darwin in the Northern Territory, through Alice Springs near both Uluru and the Pine Gap Surveillance Station, on its way to Adelaide in South Australia.

Uluru is a significant place on the Earth’s grid system, as one of the twelve primary nodal points on the Earth’s grid system, one of the primary places where numerous leylines cross, and the Earth’s third chakra.

The Indian Pacific and The Ghan Train connect in Adelaide on the coast, along with the Overland Passenger train, which runs between Adelaide and Melbourne, and the Great Southern passenger Train, which connects Adelaide and Brisbane.

All four rail-lines arrive and depart from the Adelaide Parklands Terminal in Keswick, located next to a small bay on the eastern side of the Great Australian Bight.

And does Tasmania, and island state of Australia that is 149-miles, or 240-kilometers south of the Australian mainland below Australia, have a rail history too?

It most certainly does!

We are told that the Tasmanian Main Line Railway Company first opened a narrow-gauge line between Hobart and Evandale on November 1st of 1876, and that different Tasmanian lines were extended through 1922.

Today, what remains of the Main Line carries freight, with the main cargo being cement, but not passengers; there are some locations with heritage railway and museums with limited rail-runs as part of the visitor attractions; and there are a lot of multi-use, recreational rail-trails which follow former railway lines throughout Tasmania, just like what we have already seen in the post with countless former railroad lines in the United States.

So, we have the Great Australian Bight to go along with the Southern California Bight on the Pacific Coast and the New York – New Jersey Bight on the northeast Atlantic Coast, and there are underwater canyons and shelves adjacent to the bights in all three places.

The Mirning speak of their ancestral country being submerged in the Great Australian Bight roughly along the 33rd-degree parallel South, with what they call the “last great sea-level rise.”

But when  did the last great sea-level rise happen?  

Was it in the distant past as we have been told in our historical narrative…or did it take place relatively recently?

The English word “bight” even sounds like the English world “bite,” meaning to “grip, cut-off, or tear with, or as if with, the teeth or jaws.

Gotta wonder if they are telling us something without telling us they are telling us!

There is unstable-eroded-looking landscape, as if the land just sheared-off into the ocean like what is shown here at all three bights!

“The Archipelago of the Recherche” along the southern coast of Australia is a group of 105 islands, and over 1,200 obstacles to shipping, that stretch 140-miles, or 230-kilometers, west-to-east from Esperance to Israelite Bay in coastal waters designated as the “Recherche Archipelago Nature Reserve.”

“Recherche” translates to “Research” from the French.

As of 2012, the only place allowed visitor access here is “Middle Island,” via a licensed tour operator.

Lake Hillier on Middle Island is a popular attraction, a saline lake with a distinctive pink color, pink like the previously seen Lake Burlinskoye in Siberia with the railroad running right through the water.

I found this reference on the Woody Island Eco Tours website about train tracks being visible next to the lake but otherwise hard to find any information about a railroad history here.

Salisbury Island is one of the southernmost islands in the archipelago, and described as a massive limestone scarp that sits on top of a granite dome located near the edge of the continental shelf.

There are caves above and below water, and numerous man-made artifacts found around the island.

A “continental shelf” is defined as a portion of a continent that is submerged under an area of relatively shallow water.

We are told that in Australia, a long time ago, like in the Pleistocene Ice Age around 18,000 BC, places along the continental shelf were connected by dry land.

But again, what if these “shelves” are actually more recently sunken land and infrastructure?

Another place I would like to bring to your attention is the Leeds Town Hall in Leeds, England.

The Leeds Town Hall was said to have been completed in 1858, and opened by Queen Victoria that same year.

This man, Cuthbert Brodrick, was given the credit for designing it, after winning a design competition for it in 1852, when he was only 29-years-old, and is considered his most famous architectural work.

The Leeds Town Hall is considered to have one of the largest and finest pipe organs in Europe.

This pipe organ was said to have been built by Gray & Davison in 1858, though we are told since then it has had some work done on it by other organ specialists.

While Leeds Town Hall is approximately 1-mile, or 1.6-kilometers, from the Leeds Train Station…

…it is interesting to note that it does not have an underground railway station beneath the Town Hall, like what is found in Sydney and Philadelphia, because Leeds is the largest city in western Europe without a light-rail or metro-style system.

But…Leeds has a whole world beneath the ground, including, but not limited to, an extensive tunnel-system.

I found a park called the “Woodhouse Moor,” approximately the same distance from the Leeds Town Hall in the opposite direction from the Leeds Train Station.

It is described as an open space that is a popular urban park.

The land was acquired by the Leeds Corporation in 1857, and what is now called Clarendon Street beside the Woodhouse Moor was called Reservoir Street because there was a reservoir there, said to have been built by the Leeds Corporation in 1837.

We are told that Woodhouse Moor was visited by Queen Victoria when she came to open the Town Hall in 1858, where she was said to have listened to 26,000 Sunday School children singing hymns in her honor.

The University of Leeds occupies land immediately adjacent to the Woodhouse Moor, similar to the proximity of the bog of Black Moshannon State Park to Penn State University as mentioned earlier in this post.

The University of Leeds was said to have been established in 1874 as the Yorkshire College of Science, and we are told the University’s history is linked to the development of Leeds as an international center for the textile industry and clothing manufacture in the United Kingdom during the Victorian Era.

Also important to note that the area around Leeds is surrounded by designated national parks and landscapes that all contain what is called “Moors” or “Moorland.”

“Moors,” “Moorlands” and “Heathlands” in Great Britain are described similarly as the “Pinelands” or “Pine Barrens” of the northeastern United States.

“Moorlands” are described as being characterized by low-growing vegetation on acidic soils, and includes uncultivated hill-land, as well as low-lying wetlands, including bogs like what we have seen in North America.

The “Pinelands” also have nutrient-poor, sandy and acidic soil, characterized by bogs as well.

Just wanted to share all these places with the same or similar characteristics in very different places before I return to where I left off in Philadelphia earlier in this post, and what I think has taken place here.

I don’t believe we got to this crazy place in our world today as the result of random events, but that we got here as the result of a deliberate, multi-generational plan that was implemented by malevolent, non-human, parasitic beings, who only want what we can provide them and otherwise could care less about us.

First of all, I believe a man by the name of Aleister Crowley, known openly as the “Wickedest Man in the World,” was directly responsible for bringing us to “Crazy Town.”

I am sure that some of you will be aware of who this person is, but I would surmise that this name would be unfamiliar to most people.

Crowley was also known as “the Beast,” which was what his mother called him when he was young, and with whom he had a strained relationship.

His father died when he was 11.

There are many details to find on-line about Crowley’s controversial life and times. 

So I will cut to the chase. 

He was highly involved in Freemasonry, and in ceremonial magical practices, including sex magic, and he was known to have been bisexual. 

He also assumed the title of Baphomet within the Ordo Templi Orientis, AKA OTO, originally founded in the early-20th-Century by German Occultists, and modelled after Freemasonry. 

Crowley described the Baphomet as a divine Androgyne, and the “Hieroglyph of Divine Perfection.” 

I believe this information is quite relevant to the bizarre agendas we see playing out in the world today. 

The image on the left popped up when I searched for “they want to turn us into them,” instead of us being in the image of God on the right.

Crowley claimed that when he was honeymooning with his wife Rose Kelly in Cairo, Egypt, he was contacted by a disembodied entity named “Aiwass,” who provided him with “The Book of the Law,” which became the basis for Thelema, an esoteric and occult religious movement that Crowley founded in the early 1900s, and Crowley identified himself as the prophet of a new era of spiritual development for Humanity.

The basic tenet of “The Book of the Law,” and Thelema, is: “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.”

In other words, you can do anything you want without guilt, no matter how bad it is or how much it hurts others.

There are a lot of details available to find about Crowley’s life, but two more points stuck out for me. 

One is that he was said to have spent mid-1919 on a climbing holiday in Montauk on the eastern tip of Long Island.

The other was that he was said to have died on December 1st of 1947, and that his ashes were buried under a tree in Hampton, New Jersey, in the garden of German occultist Karl Germer.  

Germer was Crowley’s successor as the Outer head of OTO until his death in 1962.

Hampton was the junction of the Central Railroad of New Jersey and the Delaware, Lackwawanna and Western Railroad.  

Hampton is not only centrally-located to places I have already looked at earlier in this post…

…both of these railroads were connected to the Anthracite Region in Pennsylvania, with the Central Railroad of New Jersey going to today’s Jim Thorpe, but formerly called Mauch Chunk, Pennsylavania, and the Delaware, Lackwawanna and Western Railroad going through Mount Pocono on its way up to the Finger Lakes and Great Lakes Regions of New York.

 The “Anthracite Region” where the story of “where America was built” began, and is located between Scranton and Wilkes-Barre on the northeast end, and Harrisburg on the southwest end.

Mining and transporting anthracite coal to market was the biggest driving factor in first getting canals, and then railroads, up-and-running.

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, and mining the coal started in Wilkes-Barre in 1775.

I think anthracite coal was the first replacement fuel source used after the cataclysm took out the original free-energy-generating grid system, and also that there is something very special about coal and carbon that is being kept from us.

Anthracite coal is the purest form of coal, with a carbon content of 92% to 98%, and this region contains most of the world’s supply of anthracite coal.

I have come to believe this whole region in the northeastern United States was ground zero for the cataclysm that brought us to the world we live in today that I’m about to get into, and is particularly important to the so-called elites.

So, now back to what I think caused the cataclysm that wiped the original civilization off the face of the Earth and out of our collective memory.

I first came across the existence of a man named Aleister Crowley in “The Book of Lists,” which was first published in 1977, which was about the time I was reading this particular book as a teenager. 

I would have been 14-years-old the year it was published.

I was a voracious reader, and this particular book made the bestseller list.

I can’t remember which lists he made, but he made several as I recall, but I remembered the name and I had never heard of him before that.

Then fast-forward 36-years, to 2013, when I met a Moorish-American man right after I moved to Oklahoma City.

Up until this time, I knew nothing at all about the Moors.

He and I became friends, and in my travels with him and some other friends, an awareness of the Moors and the advanced civilization that was hidden in the landscape all around us came into my awareness, and this marked the beginning of the path that led me directly to doing my own original research starting in June of 2018 with my blog and YouTube Channel.

When I was looking for information about the Moors, which is not easy to find, sometime in the years between 2013 and 2015, I first came across Richard Smith, and his YouTube video, “European Confessions of a Moorish Legacy.”

It was through this video of Richard Smith’s that I first learned of the work of author and publisher, Peter Moon.

Peter has a lot to say about Aleister Crowley in his books, and the dark, occulted nature of the timeline that we have been living on. 

Peter also has been involved in a lot of work on the Moors, the Philadelphia Experiment, Montauk Project, and time travel research. 

I started reading some of the books he published because I was looking for information about the Moors, and was having a hard time finding it.

In one of his books,“Synchronicity and the Seventh Seal,” Peter mentioned that he had a correspondence with Crowley’s son Amado, and that Amado related to him that on the day of the Philadelphia Experiment, which he gave as August 12th of 1943, Crowley had passed him as a child through the circular megalith at Men-an-Tol in Morvah, Cornwall, and that when he did this, it caused a line of rough energy to cross the ocean. 

This passage in the book also goes onto say further that while the OTO disputed this, others had no problems with his claim, and reported that during a eclipse ceremony on August 11th in 1998 at Men-an-Tol…

…an eclipse shadow line ran from Cairo, Egypt, to Montauk, Long Island, straight through Men-an-Tol.

I have also encountered the date of July 22nd of 1942 for the original Philadelphia Experiment.

Whatever date it took place on, both dates have annual significance in ancient cosmology.

Each year August 12th is the last day of the Lion’s Gate Portal, which begins on July 28th every year, and opens on 8/8…

…and each year, July 22nd coincides with the heliacal rising of Sirius before the sun.

Adam also had heard this story about Crowley at Men-an-Tol with his son years ago from an acquaintance as well in the “Deeper Conversation with Chad” we had on “The Destruction, Exploitation & Reverse Engineering of the Earth’s Grid System.”

In this video, Chad, Adam, and I talked in-depth about things like the subject of Aleister Crowley and what I am calling the “Philadelphia Experiment Leyline,” as well as evidence for his involvement in the reverse-engineering of the Earth’s grid system from positive and life-enhancing for the benefit of all life everywhere, to a negative, control-system for the benefit of a very few.

Adam of the Alchemy Spectrum YouTube Channel lives in Warwickshire, near where Crowley was born and raised in Royal Leamington Spa near Warwick, and is a leyline specialist who has done a lot of work on finding Crowley connections all around this area of Warwickshire with respect to finding evidence through the leylines here about how the Earth’s grid system was reverse-engineered by Crowley.

Also, one of the schools Crowley attended was Malvern College in the Malvern Hills, the paranormal anomalies about which Chad had looked into in this video based on information from one of his viewers.

The Malvern Hills are located near Warwick and Stratford-on-Avon, Shakespeare’s home town.

In this video, Chad was taken across the Atlantic to look at the Malvern in Pennsylvania.

Besides this Malvern having interesting correlations to the Malvern Hills area in England, it is only 20-miles, or 36-kilometers, west of Philadelphia, and was the terminus of what was called the “Main Line,” a series of highly-affluent Philadelphia suburbs along the railroad tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and for a number of years, it was at the junction of the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad, and the West Chester Railroad.

Today the “Main Line” runs northwest from Center City along U. S. Route 30.

“Main Line” towns had the country estates of the wealthiest families of Philadelphia, and became a bastion of “Old Money.”

The “Main Line” region was part of the “Lenapehoking,” the homelands of the matrilineal Lenape people that ranged from western Connecticut to Delaware.

So with regards to the alleged Crowley connection with the Philadelphia Experiment, I extended the Pine Barrens alignment that I found connecting the three pine barrens of the New Jersey, Central Long Island, and Coastal Massachusetts.

Going in the northeast direction, the alignment connected to Morvah in Cornwall, the location of Men-an-Tol, and going in a southeast direction, I took it as far the bayous in Louisiana.

Along with at least one abandoned train found out in the middle of nowhere in the New Jersey Pine Barrens, there is at least one abandoned train in a bayou in Ascension Parish.

Now, I’m going to take a look at the Philadelphia Experiment itself and see what we are told about that.

The strange Philadelphia Experiment was alleged to have taken place at the Philadelphia Navy Yard in the middle of World War II, the deadliest conflict in human history which started on September 1st in 1939, and ended on September 2nd in 1945 – exactly six years later. 

When I originally looked for information on the Philadelphia Experiment several years ago, the date I first encountered for it was the date of July 22nd of 1942.

The Philadelphia Experiment involved the USS Eldridge, a naval destroyer escort for merchant ships.

The ship’s generators were turned on in view of other merchant ships that were in the Navy Yard.

As the fields created by the generators built-up, a green haze formed around the ship.

When the green haze disappeared, so did the ship, rendered invisible to both radar and the naked eye.

It returned to view after 15-minutes.

Did the USS Eldridge just become invisible? 

Or did it go somewhere else? 

And if it went somewhere else, where might it have gone?

What was the real purpose of the Philadelphia Experiment?

What if the USS Eldridge went back in time?

I have long thought that the Philadelphia Experiment was a deliberate manipulation of the original civilization’s energy grid system in order to create a rip in the fabric of space-time, and to insert new artificial timeline was somehow, but I was unsure about whether or not there was a connection to the Mud Flood.

Now I can now make a case for a connection between these two events.with the addition of the sound/frequency components to this research which I looked for as a result of Stephanie’s work in “The Golden Fleece of Tartaria.”

First, the new time-line.

I have postulated for several years that the years 1492 and 1942 are the boundary years of a new timeline called Rome.

There are 450-years between 1492 and 1942 that can be divided evenly into nine, 50-year-periods, and at the beginnings of each these 50-year-periods, much was happening in our historical narrative.

With 225-years on either side, 1717 is the midpoint year.

I believe a new 3D Time loop was created that somehow mirrors or involves the Figure 8, upon which a new history was grafted on to the existing infrastructure on the Earth, and falsely attributed in the new historical narrative. 

This was the first post I did on the subject back in November of 2018 in which I explored the events in our historical narrative around these years in the context of the insertion of a new timeline.

It is interesting to me for that reason that August 12th of 1943 date for Philadelphia Experiment would have been during the time period of the Lion’s Gate Portal on 8/8 every years, which is symbolized by the Figure 8, which is also the infinity symbol.

The mid-point year of 1717 was the year that the Premier Grand Lodge of England was founded in London, on June 24th, 1717.

It was the first western Freemason Grand Lodge.

The same lodge adopted the Anno Lucis that same year, in 1717, as the Masonic calendar.

The Anno Lucis Calendar adds 4,000-years to the Gregorian calendar.

This leads into how I think a rip in the fabric of space-time caused by the Philadelphia Experiment allowed great evil in the form of parasitic non-human souls to incarnate in human form on the Earth, and subsequently created the conditions for the world we are living in today.  

For some reason, the conspiracy theories I have mentioned of have come back into form to be consumed by the public as shows like the previously “Stranger Things” based on the Montauk Project, or movies like “The Final Countdown,” a 1980 movie where a time-travelling naval vessel in the form of the USS Nimitz goes back in time to the day before the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th of 1941.

As part of my journey going deep into this research, I was guided through a psychic friend in 2018 to look at Ireland in 1742 in my research.

As we were visiting, she received some messages to convey to me from my guides.  One message was that what I was mulling was correct, and I was pondering a connection between 1492 and 1942, and the other was an image she received of Ireland that was white, cold and frozen on one side of 1742, and bright and sunny on the other

So I searched for what happened in the year 1742 on the internet, and only two things came up.

The first was that Dublin, Ireland, was the location for the premier of George Frederick Handel’s Messiah on April 13th, 1742.

And the only other thing that came up was an extraordinary cold weather event in Ireland between 1740 – 1741, during which time, the Irish population endured 21-months of bizarre weather without known precedent that defied conventional explanation. The cause was not known.

And Handel’s Messiah premieres in Dublin right after the extremely cold, lethal weather event???!!!

So, for example, this time period of 1740 to 1742 was the beginning of one of the 50-year time-periods that I was talking about in the 450-years between 1492 and 1942.

Around the same time the Great Frost of Ireland was taking place, the Royal Order of Scotland was founded in 1741, which is an order within the structure of freemasonry whose members are invited to join based on advanced masonic criteria.

Is it just a coincidence that the logo of the Royal Order of Scotland on the left has a symbol that resembles the sun in the logo of the Jesuits, on the right?

Also, the male line of the House of Habsburg ended in 1740 with the death of Emperor Charles VI.

Prior to the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806 as a result of the Napoleonic Wars, the imperial throne was occupied by the House of Habsburg.

Also called the House of Austria, the House of Habsburg was one of the most distinguished and influential royal houses of Europe.

As a result of the War of Austrian Succession that took place between 1740 and 1748, the Empress Maria-Theresa had to concede Habsburg lands in Austria, Spain, and Italy to other powers as part of the terms of the 1748 Treaty of Aix-La-Chappelle, which also confirmed the right of succession of the German House of Hanover to the British throne, which had taken place in August of 1714, with the succession of King George I of the German House of Hanover, just three-years prior to the mid-point year of 1717.

And who shows up within a few years after the Great Frost of Ireland?

Well, in 1744 Mayer Amschel Rothschild was born in Frankfurt, Germany.  He established his banking business there in the 1760s, which became the start of the international banking family.

Then on February 6th, 1748, Bavarian Illuminati-founder Adam Weishaupt was born in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany.

He went to a Jesuit school at the age of 7, and was initiated into Freemasonry in 1777.

Then, Francis, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, was born on July 15th of 1750, and was the progenitor of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha line, which seeded the lineage of the new royals, primarily through first cousins Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, but also through direct marriage of this obscure ducal line marrying directly into other European Royal families.

King George V of Great Britain changed the name of the royal house from Saxe-Coburg & Gotha to Windsor on July 17th of 1917, supposedly due to anti-German sentiment generated by World War I.

In 1839, John D. Rockefeller, Sr. was born in the United States, the progenitor of the wealthy Rockefeller family and considered to be the wealthiest American of all time.

Shortly after I learned about the cold-weather event in Ireland, I was connected by a viewer to someone in the mud flood community, and I started looking at compelling evidence on the internet that there was a cataclysmic event involving things like liquefaction as recently as 200 – 300 years ago.

Called a reset event, photographic evidence exists that buildings, canals, rail-lines, tunnels, among other things, were purposefully dug out after the event to the point where they could be used.

What is liquefaction?

Liquefaction occurs when the strength and stiffness of soil is reduced by things like the strong shaking of the Earth, and historically and up to the present-day has been responsible for tremendous amounts of damage from earthquakes worldwide.

I had already collected a lot of the puzzle pieces over six-years of extensive research relating to what has taken place here with regards to the original civilization, what happened to it, who was involved in the reset of Earth’s history, and much of the how it was done.

But until I started looking into the sound elements that Stephanie’s research brought forward into the research I had planned to do for this post, I did not have any idea about how the time-space altering event of the Philadelphia Experiment could have also caused what is commonly called the “Mud Flood,” an event which I believe caused the sinking the advanced civilization of Atlantis only hundreds of years ago at the most, not thousands of years ago as we have been taught.

As a result of the research I have presented in this post, here’s what I think happened.

Prior to this deliberately-caused cataclysmic event, all of the infrastructure on the Earth was a perfectly-tuned and resonant scientific and musical instrument.

All of it worked together in harmony and balance to produce free energy and abundance for all life everywhere – all the cathedrals, rail-lines, bridges, star forts, lighthouses, organs, bell-towers, and much more.

Here’s how what I have related about the Philadelphia Experiment and what I am calling the “Philadelphia Experiment Ley-line” could have caused the cataclysmic event that destroyed Circuit Board Earth and in the process, brought great change and upheaval and destruction to the surface of the Earth.

As I mentioned previously, all three of the Pine Barren ecosystems of Coastal Massachusetts, Central Long Island, and New Jersey are on this alignment, as seen on the top left.

Provincetown at the bottom left, at the tip of Cape Cod where the Pilgrim Monument is located, is also on the alignment and all of Cape Cod, as well as the Elizabeth Islands, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket, is part of the Southeastern Massachusetts Pine Barrens Alliance, on the right.

As I mentioned previously, the Pilgrim Monument is a bell-tower that is the tallest granite structure in the United States, and granite rings with a bell-like sound when it is struck.

If Crowley’s ritual ceremony at Men-an-Tol, whenever it took place, did in fact send a line of rough energy to cross the ocean towards Long Island, as claimed by his son Amado to Peter Moon as mentioned previously, it would have crossed through or near the Pilgrim Monument, with the energy thereby striking it, either directly or indirectly.

In the process of doing the research for this post, I learned about forced resonance.

Resonance occurs in oscillating systems when an external force with the same natural frequency causes a rise in amplitude, which results in a net rise of mechanical energy.

Resonance can occur in various systems, whether acoustical, electrical, or mechanical systems, and is desirable in their applications.

Resonance can also be detrimental, however, when it leads to excessive vibrations and structural failure.

Now what I think could have happened is that the rough line of energy caused by Crowley’s ritual ceremony on Cornwall either struck this bell-tower, or another bell-tower along the way that is underwater now, which caused a forced resonant frequency to go throughout the Earth’s entire grid system, either all at the same time, or in waves, like the aftershocks of earthquakes, and causing it to go haywire, leading to the destruction of the entire system and dramatically changing the face of the Earth, and consider the possibility that the manipulation of time and space involved in the Philadelphia Experiment could have also carried this forced resonant frequency back in time to create the cataclysmic event as opposed to something that happened in the present moment.

Let’s use the example of Cape Cod of the many that I gave previously in this post to illustrate the presence of railroad lines and lighthouses, for example, right next to water.

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 Cape Cod.

While we have always been given the explanation that lighthouses were constructed to guide ships through rocky shoals and dangerous waters, and railroads were built around the same time period in the 19th-century, what I am seeing is that these were places that were in perfect resonance and that forced resonance throughout the grid system caused the system to go haywire, and the surrounding land sank, or turned into like swamps, bogs, barrens, or deserts and dunes.

Also, Aaron from the “Uncovering Hidden West Virginia” on my channel has been doing tremendous work on finding key points on the Earth’s grid system through identifying Kirkbride facilities on leylines, as the original infrastructure of the grid was converted into insane asylums.

As one example, he sent me this screenshot of a convergence of leylines he found at a location on the Northeastern United States Continental Shelf in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Massachusetts.

There are several more points I would like to bring up with regards to the Crowley connection and the role of the Philadelphia Experiment in bringing us to the world we live in today being a real possibility, and not science fiction.

One point is about all the deaf people and deaf-mutes in the 19th-century that I mentioned earlier in this post 19th-century, that Alexander Graham Bell was so keen on helping, like the deaf community on Martha’s Vineyard that was being studied, which would have been very near to the bell-tower in Provincetown.

They want us to believe it was from internal causes, but what if the cause was from an external source?

Like the noise resulting from the forced resonance of a previously resonant system?

Another is that is interesting to note that Provincetown, the same location as the towering Pilgrim Monument is located on the tip of Cape Cod, is one of the most LGTBQ-inclusive places in the country, and has been for a long time!

As early as 1900, when an artists’ colony and experimental theater developed there, including drag shows in the 1940s.

Another issue is that of Crowley’s children, of which he was believed to have had many, of which some were possibly public figures and others unknown.

For example, it has long been rumored that Barbara Bush, the wife of President George H. W. Bush, was Crowley’s daughter.

But what I wonder is if Aleister Crowley and Barbara Bush were actually one in the same person instead of a daughter – father relationship?

Another one of his children was possibly Billy Shears.

A viewer left the following comment on “The Destruction, Exploitation & Reverse Engineering of the Earth’s Grid System” where Chad, Adam and I talked about this subject, saying that Billy Shears was suspected to be his son.

The suspicion that someone named Billy Shears had replaced Paul McCartney when the Beatles were still together has been around for a long time.

I was born in 1963, so I am too young to remember when the Beatles were together as a group, but I am old enough to remember them in their separate careers, and I am old enough to remember the “Paul is Dead” rabbit hole, and all the things that were said to be pointing to Paul being dead, whether him being without shoes in the crossing of “Abbey Road” on that album cover, to if you play “Strawberry Fields Forever” backwards at a certain place, you hear a voice saying “Paul is Dead.”

What was interesting is that when I searched for “Was Billy Shears Aleister Crowley’s son?,” what came up was the Crowley was one of the figures depicted in the background on the album cover of “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.”

Paul McCartney already made an appearance earlier in this post at the PNC Music Pavilion in Charlotte, for the last concert of Paul McCartney’s “New World Tour” in 1993.

Paul McCartney also made an appearance in Stephanie’s video on “The Golden Fleece of Tartaria,” where she talked about a McCartney performance during the opening ceremony at the London Olympics in 2012, and during which the giant Olympic Bell hanging onstage started to toll.

She said Sir Paul told NME Magazine that, “During the ceremony, we had a sound glitch… there’s this bloody great bell that we didn’t know about. A bloody 50-tonne bell. It was deafening. We were trying to figure out what key it was in, but it was in no key known to mankind.”

Stephanie went on to say the bell was cast especially for the London 2012 Olympics and features the quote from Caliban in “The Tempest:” ‘Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises.’ 

This was the same opening ceremony with the really creepy dance performance featuring nurses, and children in hospital cribs and Voldemort looking like a giant grim reaper towering above it all.

The Controllers use predictive programming regularly, and have for a long time, where 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 because they think its their Karmic “get-out-of-jail-free” card.

Stephanie decoded a 1974 Gene Hackman movie called “The Conversation” in her video.

I am going to do a simple decode of a 1972 Gene Hackman movie called “The Poseidon Adventure,” a movie I saw in the theater when I was 9-years-old.

It’s very dramatic, and I vividly remember it.

The plot summary is this:

A gigantic cruise ship on its last voyage from Athens to New York before it becomes scrap overturns on New Years Day from a tsunami coming from Crete after an underwater earthquake happens, and passengers have to find their way out of the upside-down ship to survive.

My simple decode: They are telling us that the turned the Earth was upside-down, and that it is up to us to find a way to survive.

We went from a highly advanced and unified worldwide situation to a crazy, upside-down world, and we didn’t get there on our own as much as the Controllers want us to believe that.

Another movie that has an interesting story line pertaining to the subjects that I have been talking about in this post, in a predictive programming kind-of-way, is that of “The Long Ships,” a 1964 movie in which Sidney Poitier portrayed a Moorish King who was searching for a legendary golden bell named “the Mother of Voices,” and Richard Widmark, a Viking adventurer ho knew where to look for the golden bell, but who along with his crew, was shipwrecked and captured by the King.

At the end of the movie, after the golden bell had been located but toppled over a high cliff in the process of trying to move it, they returned with it to the Moorish Kingdom, but the Moorish King was crushed shortly thereafter by the bell when it fell on top of him in a battle with Vikings who had conquered the city in his absence, and the Moors were defeated by the Vikings.

What’s going on with all the “bells?”

Not a surprise to find out that the first formal presence of Crowley’s OTO in the United States was the Agape Lodge, which would have served Hollywood as it was established in Los Angeles in 1935, and today the Star Sapphire Lodge serves the Greater Los Angeles area.

I am going to end this four-part series here that was based on the video I originally uploaded back in January called “On the Trail of Giants in Appalachia and Beyond.”

All four of these themes came out in the course of my research for the original video, and I decided to do this series because I didn’t want all this specific information to get lost from the original video since it wasn’t organized like this.

If you haven’t seen the other three parts of this series, or the original video, I encourage you to do so.

There is a great deal of information in all of these videos and it’s all interconnected and related to what has taken place here.

Even though I have already done a lot of my own research on this, I have to put this together into something entirely new and compelling to make a strong case for it and believable, and how this part of North America was an epicenter for it.  But it’s not just one thing.  There are many, many aspects to it, and Aaron is doing some amazing work on all the alignments he’s been, and still is, finding.

The Ancient Advanced Civilization in the Mediterranean Sea from the Strait of Messina to Malta

I am going to be taking a close look in this post at the Strait of Messina, particularly the narrowest point between the eastern tip of Sicily, and the western tip of Calabria in Italy; in Sicily, the city of Messina, Mount Etna, one of the most active volcanos in the world; Catania, a city that lies at the foot of Mount Etna on the Sicilian coast; and Valletta, and capital of the island Republic of Malta.

The research in this post came from a 23-part series called “Sacred Geometry, Ley Lines & Places in Alignment” that I did back in 2020 tracking a long-distance alignment of cities and places that started in San Francisco.

I have been showcasing parts of this series in-between work I am doing on another project that is taking me longer to complete.

So far from the original 2020 series, I have posted ” The Ancient Advanced Civilization in Southeast Asia – From Manila in the Philippines to Dhaka in Bangladesh” and “The Ancient Advanced Civilization in Armenia, Anatolia & the Aegean Sea.”

From the process of tracking cities and places in several different alignments over the years, I have collected a variety of puzzle pieces about different places that bring a bigger picture into focus that is not immediately apparent on the surface from this type of geographically-focused research.

I am starting on the alignment at the Strait of Messina, a narrow strait between the eastern tip of Sicily and the western tip of Calabria in Italy.

The narrowest point of the Strait of Messina is between the Punta del Faro in Sicily…

…and the Punta Pezzo in Villa San Giovanni in Italy’s Calabria region.

Punta del Faro in Sicily, located northeast of Messina, has a lot going on in a small space.

Let’s start with the Torre Faro Pylon.

The Torre Faro pylon is one of two free-standing steel towers…

…with the other one, the Santa Trada pylon, being in the Villa San Giovanni across the strait, and standing on top of what looks like one of the more common star fort features.

We are told that they were built in 1955, and used between 1955 and 1994 to carry first 150-kilovolt, and then in 1971, a 220-kilovolt power-line across the Strait of Messina to respective sub-stations on both sides of it.

They were decommissioned in 1993, and the conductors were removed a year later.

The Faro Point Lighthouse, also known as the Faro di Capo Pelori, is an active lighthouse that is completely automated, powered by mains electricity, or general purpose Alternating Current (AC) electric power supply.

It was said to have been first built in 1853, with periods of disuse in-between. It is operated by the Italian Navy.

There is what is described as a fortificcation adjacent to the Punta del Faro lighthouse in Sicily…

…that is now part of the Lido Horcynus Orca Park.

The fortification gets used for things like cinematographic festivals held here.

Lido Horcynus Orca Park is primarily a beach resort.

Does that look like a beach resort you would like to go to, even if the tower was decommissioned like they tell us?

And Lido Horcynus Orca really has some interesting features surrounding the beachfront. Like, what the heck are these squares covering the landscape?

And what are those two white column-looking things?

They brought to mind the square shapes I saw on Google Earth when I was looking at the coast of Iran across from Hormuz Island in the Strait of Hormuz…

…and both lay-outs in the landscape resemble chips on a circuit board.

As the most northeastern point of Sicily, where the Ionian Sea meets the Tyrrhenian Sea…

…Capo Peloro or Punta del Faro was supposedly the lair of Charybdis, one of the two beautiful women who had been turned into grotesque monsters by jealous goddesses in Greek mythology.

In one version of the myth, she would partially hide herself beneath a fig tree there, and would frequently leap out into the sea in order to swallow huge quantities of water, creating a whirlpool that would suck down passing ships, and she would belch the water up afterwards.

Garofalo, otherwise known to the world as Charybdis, is found in the Strait of Messina. While not technically a whirlpool, it occurs when the winds and tides meet at cross-purposes in the strait, producing rough seas that are hazardous for vessels.

It is also important to note that whirlpools can result from currents running into obstacles beneath the surface of the water.

One more thing before moving across the Strait of Messina to Calabria.

As the ancient Pelorus, Punta del Faro is one of the most celebrated promontories of Sicily, and one of three promontories which were considered to give it the triangular form.

Trinacria, the ancient name of Sicily, was said to derive from an ancient Greek word meaning “three legs” and is synonymous with the sun and said to convey motion.

When I looked up the word “Trinacria,” versions of this image popped up all over the place.

This particular version on the left includes a human head with serpents and wings. similar to the winged disk symbol on the right, most commonly associated with Ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian cultures…

The caduceus, the staff of Hermes in Greek mythology, has the same imagery of serpents and wings, and is an emblem of the medical profession in today’s world.

This version of the Trinacria is on the flag of Sicily. The head still has wings, but the serpents aren’t clearly defined as in the first head, kind of looking more like ropes, and the addition of what looks like three ears of wheat.

Why was the image modified?

When I looked more deeply into it, I found out that the Trinacria is a symbolic representation of the zenith of the soul in its present state of existence, and the setting of the spiritual essence in its totality, and that it represents self-realization and ascension.

This is the flag of the Isle of Man, with a very similar shape called the Triskelion…

…and the Isle of Man is located in the Irish Sea between Ireland and Great Britain.

Interesting that there is information like this about ancient knowledge to be found in flags, as well as information about the true identity of the missing civilization.

This is the flag of Sardinia, a large island region of Italy in the Mediterranean Sea, northwest of the Strait of Messina.

It is also called the flag of the Four Moors…

…and this is the flag of Corsica, an island region of France, just north of Sardinia, with only one Moor’s head displayed on it.

Now changing my focus to look at Punta Pezzo, the closest point between Italy’s Calabrian shore in the Villa San Giovanni, and Punta del Faro in Sicily.

The city of Villa San Giovanni faces the city of Messina across the strait.

This part of Calabria was a focal point for Napoleon Bonaparte, after he proclaimed himself emperor of France in 1804.

I most definitely think that Napoleon and the Napoleonic Wars were part of the reset of our history.

He is, after all, attributed in our historical narrative with making the statement that “History is a set of lies agreed upon.”

He was also the first historical figure I ever remember seeing early on in my life depicted with the Freemasonic “hidden hand” tucked into his waistcoat, a hand-sign signifying “Master of the Second Veil.”

As a matter of fact, this pose and Napoleon go “hand-in-hand” so to speak!

Napoleon made his older brother, Joseph-Napoleon, the King of Naples and Sicily between 1806 and 1808, who we are told, implemented administrative reforms in 1806 that abolished the ruling system that was in place here, and the original Lordship of Fiumara disappeared.

Then, starting in June of 1810, we are told the new King of Naples, Joachim Murat, and also the brother-in-law of Napoleon, ruled the southern Kingdom from the heights of Piale for four months, during which that short period of time he was given the credit for having built the fort of Punta Pezzo, or Piale, with a telegraph tower…

…the Torre Cavallo…

…and the Castello Altafiumara…

…with the Castello Altafiumara and Torre Cavallo both being in close proximity to the Santa Trada Pylon we saw earlier.

This particular geographic location appears to have been a particularly important place on the Earth’s grid system, similar in scope of what’s here to what I found in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan and Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, situated across from each other with the Saint Mary’s River in-between them.

See my blog post “Sault Ste. Marie – A Microcosm of the Advanced & Global Moorish Civilization” for an in-depth analysis of the region nicknamed “The Soo.”

Just a short distance north of Calabria’s Punta Pezzo , we find the Ruffo Castle of Scilla, described as an ancient fortification, and situated on a promontory in the Strait of Messina in the town of Scilla…

…and which houses the Scilla Lighthouse, also operated by the Italian Navy, like the Faro del Cape Peloro in Sicily.

Scilla is also the traditional site associated with the sea monster Scylla of Greek mythology, with its location right at the entrance to the Strait of Messina.

The linguistic idiom “between Scylla and Charybdis” means having to choose between two similarly dangerous situations, like the more common idiom “between a rock and a hard place.”

Other places of interest in Calabria, known in antiquity as Bruttium, include Tropea, an ancient seaside town built on top of a cliff, with a legend of having been founded by Hercules when returning from his labors at the Pillars of Hercules (in the Strait of Gibraltar)…

…and Reggio di Calabria, known as Rhegium in ancient times, located on the toe of the boot of the Italian peninsula.

It is interesting to note the presence of the same design pattern in the architecture of Reggio di Calabria that you find at the Supreme Court in Washington, DC; at Leconte Hall at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia; and at the National Library of Greece in Athens, Greece.

Reggio di Calabria is located on the Aspromonte, a long craggy mountain range that runs up through the center of the region, and described as resembling a giant pyramid.

This is Mount Consolino in the Aspromonte…

…and within the boundaries of Aspromonte National Park, you find places like the ghost towns of Pentedattilo on the top left, which brought to mind similar-looking places in Cappadocia, and what was Holy Land USA on the bottom, in Waterbury, Connecticut, which we are told was a theme park inspired by passages from the Bible that opened in 1955 and closed and abandoned in 1985…

…as well as waterfalls, like the multi-storied Maesano waterfalls on the left, compared with these waterfalls in Slovenia on the right that are also multi-storied

Back across the Strait to take a look at Messina proper, with a population of over 230,000, and the metropolitan area of Messina, which includes Punta del Faro, is around 650,000, making it the third-largest city in Sicily, and the thirteenth largest in Italy.

The Messina Cathedral is said to be an example of Norman architecture, built on the orders of the Norman King Ruggero II in 1120 AD.

For comparison in appearance, this is the Igreja Matriz da Expecacao in Ico, Brazil, on the right.

We are told the current Bell-Tower next to the Messina Cathedral was inaugurated in 1933, after having been designed by the firm of Ungerer of Strasbourg, and is famous for having the biggest and most complex astrological clock in the world.

Every day at noon, a complex system of counterweights, leverages, and gears moves gilded bronze statues located in the facade.

The Fountain of Orion is in front of the Messina Cathedral, and said to have been finished in 1553, commemorating both the city’s mythical founder, and the completion of the first aqueduct of Messina in 1547.

Messina is a major port city.

…and the said-to-be 16th-century Forte del Santissimo Salvatore is located at the port’s entrance.

The Stele of the Madonna Lettera, erected on the fort, was said to have been consecrated and inaugurated in 1934.

I see the Torre Faro pylon in the distance.

It looks like there could be a triangulated relationship between the Stele, the Torre Faro pylon, and the Santa Trada pylon.

The next place we come to on the alignment is Mount Etna, on the east coast of Sicily, in what is called the Metropolitan City of Catania, formerly the Province of Catania.

It is located between the cities of Messina and Catania.

It is a stratovolcano that is one of the most active in the world, and is in an almost constant state of activity.

I learned several years ago in a Megalithomania presentation by Antoine Gigal about pyramids around Mount Etna, and I am drawing from her research in the next slides about this obscure subject.

Antoine Gigal is a French writer, researcher and explorer, and the founder of Giza for Humanity who went to Sicily where she heard about 12 pyramids there.

Instead of finding the 12 pyramids she was told about, she found 23 pyramids around Mount Etna, and proceeded to literally do field research, as the pyramids were in the middle of fields.

She found pyramids of different shapes and sizes…

…like an oblong step pyramid between the towns of Passopisciaro and Francavilla…

…which has a standing stone…

…a rectangular pyramid between Linguaglossa and Randazzo…

…and this rectangular pyramid on Mount Etna’s north side.

In Antoine Gigal’s presentation, she demonstrates that the construction style of the Sicilian pyramids is like that of the Guimar Pyramids of Tenerife in the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, and also like that of the pyramids of the island nation of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean.

The last place I am going to be looking at in Sicily is Catania…

…located at the foot of Mount Etna.

This illustration was said to be of a 1679 eruption of Etna that impacted Catania and also shows what looks to be a star fort around the city or a star city.

This prompted me to look for historic maps of Catania, and I found this old map of the city which confirms the finding.

Beneath the surface-level city of Catania, there are said to be several layers of underground cities…

…like what is found in Central Anatolia in Cappadocia, which has been determined to have 40 underground cities, of which 6 are open to the public, like Derinkuyu, an ancient, deep multi-level underground city said to be large enough to shelter 20,000 people together with their livestock and food supply, and opened to visitors in 1969.

Catania also has an underground river, named Amenano…

…and in the Piazzo del Duomo, the main square of the city, is the Amenano Fountain of the Amenano River, said to have been sculpted in 1867 by Italian sculptor Tito Angelini, with a young man atop the fountain said to represent the Amenano River, holding a cornucopia with water flowing from it in a basin…

…and sculptures of Tritons on either side.

The Catania Town Hall, also known as the “Palace of the Elephants” is also in the Piazzo del Duomo…

…with the U Liotru fountain, the elephant symbol of Catania, said to have been carved from ancient lava stone and topped by an obelisk from Syene (now called Aswan) in Egypt.

As with everywhere else, there is much more to find in Catania, and Sicily as a whole, but I am going to move along the alignment across the Mediterranean Sea over to Malta.

Before I get to Malta, I would like to take an opportunity to ponder something here that just now struck me.

The literal meaning of “Mediterranean” from the Latin “medius” and “terra,” is “middle” and “earth or land.”

So it would be translated into English along the lines of “Middle Earth” Sea.

Just really wondering if there was more land than water here at one time in Earth’s history, and not the “sea” we see today.

When you search for the term “Middle Earth,” it’s mostly the work of J. R. R. Tolkien that fills up the internet search page.

When you plug “Midgard” into the search engine, you get that “Midgard” is the abode of Human Beings in Norse Mythology, and the “middle realm” that is situated in the branches of Yggdrasil, the world tree. that provides the “Axis Mundi,” the “Axis of the Universe” that connects all realms.

Also, we are told the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, a country on the Mediterranean Coast of North Africa, is in the exact center of the Earth’s landmass.

As we head into Malta, it is one place on the Earth that I can think off the top of my head that is known for its mysterious “cart ruts” leading into, and under, the water.

And that’s exactly what they are referred to as. Ruts.

Ruts are defined as “a long, deep track made by the repeated passage of the wheels of vehicles.”

Like the ruts you encounter on unpaved roads.

Just leaving all this here as something to think about, along with everything else.

the island Republic of Malta. in the vicinity of its capital, Valletta.

…and located in the Southeastern Region of the main island, one of the five regions of Malta.

The city of Valletta is situated between the Marsamxett Harbort and the Grand Harbor.

Marsamxett Harbor is described as a natural harbor generally more dedicated to leisure use than the Grand Harbor…

…and is bounded to the north by Dragut Point and Tigne Point…

…where we find Fort Tigne…

…said to have been built by the Order of the Knights Hospitallers of St. John between 1793 and 1795 and claimed to be one of the oldest polygonal forts in the world.

We are told the Order of the Knights Hospitallers of St. John ruled Malta from the time when the Emperor Charles V (who was also King Charles II of Sicily) gave the islands of Malta and Gozo to the Order in 1530, as well as Tripoli in Libya, until the time the Order surrendered to Napoleon when the French landed in Malta in 1798.

Known usually by the shorter Order of St. John, the Maltese Cross was said to have been officially adopted by the Order in 1126.

And today’s Order of St. John was chartered by Queen Victoria in 1888 as a British Royal Order of Chivalry.

Interesting to note that I have found two different portraits of Charles V, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire between 1500 and 1558, each having similar facial structure and tilts of the chin, and wearing similar clothing.

Manoel Island is a small island in Marsamxett Harbor, situated close to Tigne Point…

…and the location of Fort Manoel…

…said to have been built in the 1720s by the Portuguese 66th-Grand Master of the Knights of Malta, Antonio Manoel de Vilhena.

We are told the British military took over the fort in 1800, and renamed it HMS Phoenicia, who used it until 1964…relatively recently.

Interesting to note that Malta is geographically quite close to Carthage, and in the middle of the historic location of what was Phoenician, which became the Carthaginian, Empire in our historical narrative.

Manoel Island is connected to the town of Gzira, in Malta’s Central Region, by a bridge…

…where we find an Orpheum Theater, said to have been built in 1932.

There are two points I would like to make about this finding.

This is the first point.

Orpheus was a musician and poet in Ancient Greek legend, said to have had the ability to charm all living things, and even stones, with his music, and even put them to sleep.

In the course of my research, I found numerous early theaters called “Orpheums,” like the one in Gzira in Malta, including the Orpheum Theater in Boston on the top left; Los Angeles on the top right; Phoenix on the bottom left; and Memphis on the bottom right.

What, exactly, caused us to go to sleep, and forget who we are, and what we were? How has the false information we have been taught in school been reinforced?

Why would this be important to whoever or whatever was responsible for removing the ancient advanced civilization from our collective awareness to begin with?

The second point that I would like to make about the Orpheum Theater in Gzira is its street-corner style of architecture…that I have found worldwide, like in Merida, Mexico in the top middle; Juarez, Mexico, on the top right; and on the bottom left, in Kherson, Ukraine; bottom middle, Summerside in Prince Edward Island; and on the bottom right, in Conakry, the capital of the African country of Guinea.

Fort St. Elmo stands on the seaward shore of the peninsula that divides Marsamxett Harbor from the Grand Harbor…

…and said to have been built in its present form as a star fort in the 1550s.

It was the target of aerial bombardment on the first day Malta became involved in the conflict of World War II.

Fort St. Elmo is situated in the middle at the entrance to the two main harbors, between Fort Tigne at the entrance to the Marsamxett Harbor, and Fort Ricasoli at the entrance of the Grand Harbor.

Fort Ricasoli was said to have been built by the Order of St. John between 1670 and 1698.

Fort Ricasoli was said to have seen use during the French invasion of Malta, led by Napoleon himself, in 1798, which was part of the Mediterranean Campaign in the War of the Second Coalition of the French Revolutionary Wars.

We are told that during the short time Napoleon was in Valletta, the capital city of Malta, between June 12th and 18th of 1798, he did such things as reforming, among other things, national administration with the creation of a Government Commission and twelve municipalities; creating a public finance administration, and the organization of public education, and providing for primary and secondary education, all before sailing for Egypt, and leaving a substantial garrison in Malta.

What?

All this in a week?

Why?

This famous painting of Napoleon Bonaparte before the Great Sphinx of Giza comes down to us as a depiction of him during his Egyptian Campaign, which took place between 1798 – 1799.

The 1886 painting “Bonaparte Before the Sphinx” was credited to the French artist Jean-Leon Gerome, and can be found at the Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California.

So even the Sphinx needed to be dug out from the sand that covered most of it up!

After the British Royal Navy destroyed the French Mediterranean fleet at the Battle of the Nile on August 1st, 1798, the British were able to initiate a blockade of Malta, assisted by an uprising of the native Maltese against French rule.

The blockade effectively ended the French Occupation of Malta in 1800, and replaced it with British Protectorate, returning control of the central Mediterranean to Great Britain.

Malta held the status of British Protectorate for 164-years, until it gained its independence from Britain in 1964.

Though Fort Ricasoli, like Fort St. Elmo, was bombarded during World War II and parts of it destroyed, today the fort remains largely intact.

It is used as a filming location…and tank-cleaning facility for the Malta Drydocks, treating liquid waste from ships arriving in the Grand Harbor, removing oil and other chemicals prior to releasing the waste into the sea.

These are the pair of lighthouses, one at Fort St. Elmo and the other at Fort Ricasoli, located on man-made breakwaters at the entrance to the Grand Harbor.

There are two more forts along the shore of the Mediterranean Sea next to Fort Ricasoli.

The first is Fort Rinella, described as a Victorian battery.

It was said to have been built by the British between 1878 and 1886.

Fort St. Rocco is found just a short distance down the Mediterranean coast from Fort Rinella.

It is described as a polygonal fort, and as part of a complex of shore batteries built by the British to defend the coast east of the mouth of Grand Harbor between the 1870s and 1900.

These three forts are part of Kalkara…

…described as a village on Kalkara Creek, shown here.

Moving from a short distance west from Kalkara, we come to Birgu, also known as the “Victorious City”…

…and described as the oldest of an area in Malta referred to as “The Three Cities” – three fortified cities in very close proximity to each other, which also includes Senglea and Cospicua.

The city occupies a promonory of land in the Grand Harbor, with Fort Saint Angelo at the head…

…and the city of Cospicua at the base.

Fort San Angelo served as the base of the Order of St. John, and we are told the de facto capital of Malta between 1530 and 1571…

…and the British garrisoned the fort between 1800 and 1979.

We are told the date of its original construction is unknown, but has large ashlar blocks, the finest stonemasonry unit…

…and an Egyptian pink granite column at the top of the fort inside a chapel.

Fort San Salvatore is also in Birgu…

…said to have been built in 1724 on one of the bastions of the Cottonera Lines.

It was said to have been used as a Prisoner-of-War Camp during the Greek War of Independence between 1821 and 1830, as well as during World War I; and during World War II, as a kerosene depot and internment camp, which were used to imprison large groups of people, without charges, or the intent to file charges.

The Cottonera Lines were said to be a line of what are called fortifications in Conspicua and Birgu that were constructed in the 17th- and 18th-centuries to form the outer defenses of the Three Cities…

…and built around an earlier line of fortifications known as the Santa Margherita Lines.

Before leaving Birgu for the neighboring city of Senglea, I would like to point a place that caught my attention on Google Earth.

I noticed the Inquisitor’s Palace, and as it turns out, this was the seat of the Inquisition in Malta between 1574 and 1798, which was the first year Napoleon’s forces occupied Malta. It has been the National Museum of Ethnography since 1966, with permanent displays on Malta’s religious traditions as consolidated by the Inquisition.

The arrows are pointing to the building’s windows that are not level with the steep street beside it, which is a classic indicator for mud flood evidence.

The Inquisitor’s Palace was said to have been originally constructed as a courthouse in the 1530s.

The Inquisition was a group of institutions within the Catholic Church with a stated aim of combating heresy, defined as the formal denial of the orthodox beliefs of the church, which is defined as the adherence to correct or accepted creeds in religion.

We are told it started with the French Inquisition in the 1200s in France, which over a period of about 20-years saw the Cathar Crusade and the genocide of the gnostic Cathars, which had been labelled as an heretical sect.

The Inquisitor’s Palace became the headquarters of the Inquisition in Malta in 1574, serving as tribunal and prison, as well as the palace of the Inquisitor.

So we are taught that all of this is normal and matter of fact in history in school, like there is nothing out of the ordinary or wrong about the Inquisition…which was, by its very nature, violating basic Human Rights and dignity, including torture in the name of Christianity just for having dissenting views?

And the Office of the Inquisition it is still in existence to this day?

Only it is now called the “Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.”

The city of Senglea is a fortified city as well, we are told, and is also known as the “Civitas Invicta” or “Unconquered City.”

We are told there weren’t any buildings here until 1311, at which time St. Julian’s Church, or Chapel, was built, said to have been the first building constructed on what later became Senglea.

Then in 1552, we are told, the foundation stone was laid for Fort St. Michael, and its construction was said to have been completed in 1553.

Then construction of the walled town of what at the time was known as St. Julian’s Island in the decade following the completion of Fort St. Michael, subsequently became known as Senglea…

…in honor of the Grand Master Claude de la Sengle, of the Order of Malta, for giving St. Julian’s Island its city status.

The Gardjola Gardens are located within the bastions of Fort St. Michael, also credited to Claude de la Sengle…

…and named for what is called the “Guard Tower” – “Il-Gardjola” – which has various symbols sculpted on it, such as an eye, ear, and crane bird, said to represent guardianship and observance protecting Maltese shores.

Now I am going to start a walking tour around the walls of Valletta…

…starting at the Triton Fountain, just outside the main City Gate of Valletta.

What exactly is a Triton?

For one, in mythology, Triton was the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea, and Amphitrite, a sea goddess and Queen of the Sea.

Triton’s lower-half was that of a fish, and his top-half was that of a human.

We are told that at some time during the Greek and Roman eras, triton became a generic term for a mer-person in art and literature.

So some connections of interest to me from what I have found in my own research are, first, that in the Paracel Islands in the South China Sea, between the Philippines and south China’s Island of Hainan, we find an Amphitrite Group and a Triton Island…

…and that Poseidon’s Golden Palace was said to have been at Aegae, on the large Greek island of Euboea in the Aegean Sea.

Aegae was said to be located on the west coast of Euboea, north of Chalcis, and said to have been located near the modern town of Politika Kafkala…

…under the sea.

And we just saw sculptures of tritons, or mer-people, in the Amenano Fountain back in Catania in Sicily.

What is the meaning of the tritons?

Could they really have existed at one time?

How are they connected to these places?

Perhaps they still exist today as mer-people, who remain mostly hidden away, and were not mythical as we are taught to believe.

The Triton Fountain is located in front of the main city gate of Valletta.

This was the main city gate of Valletta, called the King’s Gate, circa 1871.

It was said to have been designed by Lt. Colonel Francis Ringler Thomson in 1853, and that this gate was demolished in 1964.

This is what we find at the main city gate today.

Directly upon entering Valletta, immediately to the right is what remains of the city’s Royal Opera House, though the site was developed into an open air theater which opened in August of 2013.

The Royal Opera Theater was said to have been designed by the English architect Edward Middleton Barry in 1866, and with windows and columns that are not level with the sloping street beside it, like what we saw back at the Inquisitor’s Palace.

Then, only 76-years later, it took a direct hit in April of 1942 from German Air Force bombers, and was almost completely destroyed.

Making a right turn after entering the city through the gate, onto Pope Pius V Street, we come to the Church of Our Lady of Victories, or La Vittoria, said to have had its foundation stone laid in 1566, and built to commemorate the Victory of the Knights of the Order of St. John and the Maltese over Ottoman invaders in 1565.

Directly across from La Vittoria Church is the St. James Bastion, where the two places dove-tail with each other in shape.

It was said to be one of the first bulwarks to be completed after the initiation of the construction of the fortified city in 1566.

The St. James Bastion forms one of the four important and massive bulwarks, and was carved largely out of bedrock.

The Sphinx on the Giza Plateau of Egypt was also carved from bedrock.

The bastion is said to contain to low “batteries” in its flanks, each protected by a massive rounded orillion, which we are told was an architectural element of a military fortification. 

The next place we come to continuing around to the right from the main city gate are the Upper Barrakka Gardens.

Check out the height and depth of the stone work seen here!

The Upper Barrakka Gardens are located on the upper tier of the St. Peter and Paul Bastion, and are a public garden…

…offering a panoramic view of the Grand Harbor.

It is the highest point of the city walls.

The gardens are linked to the Valletta Ditch and the nearby Lascaris Wharf by the Barrakka Lift, which was said to have first been constructed in 1905, closed in 1973, and dismantled in 1983…

…then we are told a new lift was inaugurated in 2012.

This is the Fort Lacaris Battery, said to have been built by the British in 1854, and connected to the Peter & Paul Bastion that the Upper Barrakka Gardens are located at the top of…

…and this is a view of the Lacaris Bastion Gardjola, or Guard Tower, like what we saw earlier at Fort St. Michael in Senglea.

The Victoria Gate is situated next to the Lacaris Bastion, the main entrance to the city from the Grand Harbor area,

It was said to have been built by the British in 1885, and named after Queen Victoria.

It is the only surviving gate within the fortifications of Malta, as all of the other gates, like the main city gate as I mentioned previously, were demolished between the 18th- and 19th-centuries.

The St. Barbara Bastion comes next, and is situated in the historic center of Valletta…

…and boasts of magnificent views of the Grand Harbor and the Three Cities.

Noteworthy churches near the St. Barbara Bastion are the Church of St. Paul’s Shipwreck, said to have been completed in 1582, is directly across the street from it and said to be one of the oldest churches in Valletta.

Across the street on the other side of the Church of St. Paul’s Shipwreck, we find St. John’s Co-Cathedral.

It was said to have been commissioned by the then Grand Master of the Order of St. John, Jean de la Cassiere; built by the Order between 1572 and 1577; and dedicated to St. John the Baptist.

The interior of the church is considered to be one of the finest examples of high Baroque architecture in Europe.

The next place along the City Walls of Valletta, I am going mention is the Abercrombie’s Bastion, which is located at the entrance to the previously mentioned Fort St. Elmo…

…after which we come to Ball’s Bastion in the upper part of Fort St. Elmo…

…which is next to St. Gregory’s Bastion.

Next we come to the St. Sebastian Bastion…

…which is in close proximity to the Auberg de Baviere.

The Auberge de Bauviere was said to have been built as the Palazzo Carneiro in 1696, and was the residence of the Grand Master Marc’Antonio Zondadari in the early 18th-century.

Next we come to the St. Salvatore Bastion and the nearby St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral, also known as St. Paul’s Pro-Cathedral, one of three cathedrals of the Anglican Diocese of Gibraltar in Europe, and said to have been built between 1839 and 1844.

Moving along the wall, we come to St. Andrew’s Bastion…

…a popular wedding venue in today’s day and age.

The Biaggio Steps are directly across from St. Andrew’s Bastion, and which are described as run-down.

Next we come to St. Michael’s Bastion…

…where apparently there used to be several windmills overlooking Marsamxett Harbor, but the only reminder of this is a nearby street named “Windmill Street.”

The last place I would like to look at around the city walls of Valletta, before returning to the main city gate, are the Hastings Gardens.

The Hasting Gardens are a public garden on top of St. John’s Bastion and St. Michael’s Bastion, located to the immediate west of the main city gate.

Three more things to look at before departing the relatively small islands of the Republic of Malta in the the Mediterranean Sea.

The first is bringing the megalithic Tarxien temples to your attention, located a short distance south of Valletta.

There is a significant megalithic presence in Malta. The Tarxien Temples are just one example of many in Malta.

The temples’ large stone blocks were discovered in 1914 by a farmer ploughing a field, and excavation was begun immediately by the director of the National Museum after the report of the finding was made.

So apparently the temple complex was completely buried underground. We have come to see places being completely buried as a natural occurrence over the passage of time, but was this really the case?

The Tarxien temple complex has rich and intricate stonework decorated with spiral designs and other patterns, and was dated to 3,150 BC.

The second is speculation about the Knights’ Templar themselves.

Given that Valletta appears to be a veritable Disney World of stone masonry, and that the Maltese Cross and the Templar Cross are virtually identical, I am thinking that Malta was at the very least a major Templar Center, if not the main headquarters of the Templars.

I do seriously question what we are told about who the original Templars were, also known as the Order of the Temple of Solomon.

We are told it was Catholic military order recognized in 1139 AD by Pope Innocent II’s papal bull Omne Datum Optimum.

I personally think there is a substantial amount of information missing from the historical record about who the Templars really were, and about what their actual historical association with the Temple of Solomon was.

Like, were the original Templars Moorish Master Masons, and not anything like what we have been taught in our historical narrative?

Whatever the Truth was about the original Templars, information is simply not available in the written historical record to make a connection directly to the Moors, and a connection in turn with the Temple of Solomon and the Lost Tribes of Israel.

Lastly, I have stated in previous posts my belief that I think places on the Earth, like Valletta in this example, with numerous star forts concentrated in close proximity, were significant power centers for the energy system of the planetary grid, and that star forts represented the definition of battery meaning “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…”

…and were not originally military in nature as we are led to believe in our current historical narrative, like the Lacaris Battery we saw earlier in this post.

Like the many star forts I found that were bombarded in World War I’s Gallipoli Campaign in the Strait of Dardenelles in Turkey when I was looking at the Aegean Sea, the star-city of Valletta, and its surrounding star forts and star cities, appear to have been deliberately targeted for bombardment during the Siege of Malta between 1940 and 1942 in what was called the “Mediterranean ‘Theater’ of World War II.”

I have often wondered why the word “theater,” defined as a building or area used for dramatic performances, also used as a term to describe an area in which important military events are occurring.

It seems to me like they are actually describing one and the same thing – a dramatic performance – and not what we have been taught to believe in our historical narrative.

I think all wars and regional conflicts were deliberately contrived for the destruction of the original civilization in all ways.

As such, I think wars and conflicts exemplify what known as “Controlled Opposition.”

Controlled Opposition is a strategy in which an individual, organization, or movement is covertly controlled or influenced by a 3rd-party and the controlled entity’s true purpose is something other than its publicly stated purpose.

The controlled entity serves a role of mass deception, surveillance or political/social manipulation.

The controlled party is portrayed as being in opposition to the interests of the controlling party.

Something to consider in the quest to figure out what’s really been going on here without our knowledge or consent.

I am currently about two-thirds done with “On the Trail of Giants, in Appalachia and Beyond – The Cataclysm,” and I hope to be finished with it in the next week or so.

It is the last part of a four-part series in which I bring forward the main themes separately for your consideration that unfolded from my original post “On the Trail of Giants in Appalachia and Beyond.”

There’s a lot of material for it to work through, organize and piece together, and on top of that, invariably I find myself down interesting rabbit holes which can take me awhile to get out of.

When I do go down those rabbit holes and come back up, there’s even more information to bring to light.

The Ancient, Advanced Civilization in Armenia, Anatolia & the Aegean Sea

I am going to be looking into places in alignment starting in historical Armenia, and going across the Anatolian Plateau, both of which are part of the modern country of Turkey, as well as looking at places in the Aegean Sea, a section of the Mediterranean Sea that stretches between Anatolia and Greece.

From the process of tracking cities and places in several different alignments I have collected a variety of puzzle pieces about different places that bring a bigger picture into focus that is not immediately apparent on the surface, and I have been engaging in this process over the course of almost six years of doing extensive research.

The more research I do, the more connections I find that show this ancient civilization was advanced, interconnected and worldwide, and when I go back and look at research I have done in the past, I can see these connections even more clearly than before.

As a result, I have been able to extrapolate common elements and piece together the bigger picture from this type of geographically-focused research in the following blog that I have been able to extrapolate common elements and piece together the bigger picture.

The research in this post came from a 23-part series called “Sacred Geometry, Ley Lines & Places in Alignment” that I did back in 2020 tracking a long-distance alignment of cities and places that started in San Francisco.

I decided to showcase another part of the original series before I go back to another project I am currently working on.

Not long ago I posted The Ancient Advanced Civilization in Southeast Asia – From Manila in the Philippines to Dhaka in Bangladesh” from the same 23-part series.

My starting point for this part of the journey along the alignment is Van, the name of a city and province in eastern Turkey, and on the eastern shore of a lake of the same name.

Van has a long history a major city.

It was the capital of the Kingdom of Urartu of ancient Armenia from the 9th-century BC to the 6th-century BC, when it was called Tushpa.

Tushpa was situated on the steep-sided bluff now known as Van Fortress or Castle…

…which is similar in appearance and location to the Edinburgh Castle, said to be somewhere around 1,100-years-old in Scotland on top of Castle Rock, which is called the plug of an extinct volcano.

Van Castle was said to have been built in the 9th-century BC by King Sarduri I, the third monarch of Urartu,who was said to have moved the capital of Urartu to Van.

King Sarduri used the title of “King of the Four Corners of the World,” a title of great prestige claimed by powerful monarchs in ancient Mesopotamia.

As a matter of fact, there was a time when Armenia was considered the center of the world, as depicted in this map.

So, in the case of Van Castle, almost 3,000 years ago we were capable of building massive stone fortresses on top of solid rock?

Not an easily location to build on by any stretch of the imagination…

…and apparently working with huge stone blocks was not a problem!

More of this kind of thing to come as we go along the way!

This is described as a bronze sphinx dated to the 7th-century BC, and said to be from either Tushpa…

…or Toprakkale, southwest of Lake Van.

Some interesting things I found about Toprakkale when I looked it up is that there is a high fortress there as well (and I find the flat landscape surrounding the hill and fortress to be noteworthy)…

…and it is known for being the place where the Toprakkale Shuttle was found, which was taken out of display in Istanbul because some believed it to be a hoax.

Others believed the Toprakkale Shuttle to be over 2,000-years-old.

I think it is important to spend some time looking at the history of this geographical area because it seems to have great importance.

What was this place historically?

Who were the People of Ar?

They identify with that eight-pointed star symbol as well that I keep seeing everywhere…

…including, but far from limited to, the Gumti Monument in Faisalabad, Pakistan…

…at the Imam Reza Shrine in Mashhad, Iran…

…and even in the city seal of Prescott, Ar-izona.

This six-pointed star tetrahedron is found carved throughout Armenia

…also known as the Star of David…

…and the Merkaba, the geometric shape of the Human Lightbody in its three-dimensional form.

Some psychically-gifted people are able to see the Human aura, or energy body, but most are unable to see it without the help of special aura photography.

This is because the natural psychic abilities of Humanity have been deliberately deactivated by not teaching us about them, and by active efforts to close down our primary psychic organ, the pineal gland, also known as the third-eye, by doing things like fluoridating water supplies, which leads to the calcification of the pineal gland.

Back to the Lake Van region, and historical Armenia.

The Armenian alphabet at one time was hieroglyphic…

…and in 405 AD, the introduction of the Armenian alphabet still in use today was credited to Mesrop Mashtots and Isaac of Armenia.

We are told that the Armenian alphabet was carved in stone in 2005 by Armenian architect Jim Torosyan in Artashavan, Armenia, on the eastern slope of Mt. Aragats, on the northern end of the Ararat Plain, near Mashtot’s final resting place to celebrate the 1,600th-anniversary of its creation.

We are told that Mt. Ararat, the legendary landing place of Noah’s Ark, was located in Urartu, and now it is part of modern Turkey.

The Sumerians called Ararat “Arrata,” and they tell of this land of their ancestors in the Armenian Highlands in their epic poems of Gilgamesh and Arrata, which also both describe a great flood which fell…from the highlands of Armenia.

The ancient metallurgical and astronomical center of Metsamor, near Armenia’s modern-day capital of Yerevan, gives its name to the Metsamor Civilization, believed by some to be the world’s first civilization.

This is Carahunge Stone Circle in southern Armenia, an astronomical observatory marking the movement of the sun, moon and stars.

It is believed to be 7,500-years-old.

Great Britain is much better known for its standing stone circles with archeoastronomical correlations.

The two photographs on the left show Armenian stone crosses, and on the right are two stone crosses found along the River Leith in Edinburgh, Scotland. Not identical, but similar stylizations.

Interestingly, I found this map referencing the Kingdom of Iberia in Armenia’s part of the world, the Transcaucasia, a geographical region in the southern Caucasus Mountains that corresponds to modern Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan.

I knew about Spain and Portugal being called Iberia, and occupying what is called the Iberian Peninsula.

I know there is a province of Galicia in Spain…

…and the region of Galatia in Turkey…

…and there was a Kingdom of Galicia & Lodomeria, located historically between what is now Poland and Ukraine, and which was dissolved in 1918.

This research led me to this map of the Celtic World circa 400 BC.

How and why did the history of this part of the world get so obscured? What are we not being told?

And when was what was historically part of Armenia was absorbed into modern Turkey?

What happened?

This is what we are told about Turkey’s history.

Ancient Asia Minor, or Anatolia, consisted of the majority of modern-day Turkey, which is a country in both Asia and Europe.

What is now modern Turkey was once part of the Byzantine Empire until the Seljuk Turks started coming into Anatolia in the 11th-century.

They defeated the Byzantines in battle in 1071, and reign of the Seljuk Turks was said to symbolize the founding of Turkey.

Then the Seljuk Turks fell to Mongol invasions, which started in 1241.

The Mongols ruled as the “Ilkhanate” in Anatolia between 1243 and 1335.

Then, we are told the Ottoman Empire was founded at the end of the 13th-century in northwestern Anatolia and existed as a vast empire and center of interactions between east and west until the end of World War I, when it was defeated as an ally of Germany and occupied by Allied forces.

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

Thus, at the end of World War I, the victorious powers sought to divide up the Ottoman Empire, and the 1920 Treaty of Sevres promised to maintain the existence of the Armenian Republic and to attach the former territories of Ottoman Armenia to it.

Ottoman Armenia was referred to as Wilsonian Armenia because the new borders were to be drawn by U. S. President Woodrow Wilson.

The Treaty of Sevres never came into effect because it was rejected by the Turkish National Movement, which used the occasion to declare itself as the rightful government of Turkey.

Turkish Nationalist Forces invaded Armenia in 1920 from the east, ultimately forcing most of the Armenian military forces to disarm, cede back the former Ottoman lands granted to Armenia by the Treaty, and to give up “Wilsonian Armenia.”

And during the same time frame, the Soviet Eleventh Army invaded Armenia, and ultimately took complete control of it in 1921.

Thus, the Turkish War of Independence initiated under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk against the occupying powers resulted in the abolition of the monarchy in 1922, and the establishment of the Republic of Turkey in 1923. Ataturk was the first president of the new republic, moving the country’s seat of power from Istanbul to Ankara.

Obviously this region of historical Armenia was highly prized, and its people were persecuted and many were killed.

The Armenian genocide was the systematic destruction of the Armenian people and identity in the Ottoman Empire during and after World War I.

The estimate of deaths ranges from 600,000 to 1.5-million people.

There’s a lot more to look at here, but I am going to move on to the next place on the alignment.

The next place I am going to look at is what is called “The Valley of the Fairy Chimneys,” in Cappadocia, a historical region of Central Anatolia known for its unique cultural and historical heritage.

These fairy chimneys are in Goreme National Park, part of the Rock Sites of Cappadocia UNESCO World Heritage Site.

I find it noteworthy that shapes like these are found around the world, including what are called “hoodoos” in Bryce Canyon in southwest Utah…

…in Alberta’s Drumheller Badlands in Canada…

…the Torre Torre in Huancayo, Peru…

…in Renon, Italy…

…and in Zaragoza, Spain, to a name a few of the many places where these are found.

Here are more in the Pasabag Valley of Goreme National Park in Cappadocia.

So we are told that these phallic shapes were all created by natural geologic forces.

Okay. Well, maybe, but I really don’t think so!

These phallic shapes are also found on land features that are undeniably shaped like pyramids, like Chimney Rock in Colorado, another one of many examples I have seen of the same configuration.

Besides so-called fairy chimneys, the region of Cappadocia has been determined to have 40 underground cities, of which 6 are open to the public:

The underground city of Tatlarin, considered one of the most important of Cappadocia’s underground cities, discovered in 1975…

…Derinkuyu, an ancient, deep multi-level underground city said to be large enough to shelter 20,000 people together with their livestock and food supply, and opened to visitors in 1969…

…the underground city of Ozkonak, discovered in 1972, which had a water well, pipe communication system, winery, and moving stone doors…

…and there’s Mazi Underground City, opened to visitors in 1995…

…Kaymakli Underground City, opened to the public in 1964…

…and Kaymakli is the widest underground city…

…and the last one that is open to the public is Gaziemir Underground City, which was discovered in 2006.

So not only is all of this massive stone-work going on underneath the surface of Cappadocia, it was also going on above ground.

Cappadocia is known for its cave-homes and cave-hotels…

…and places like the Keslik Monastery in Cappadocia appear to be carved right out of the solid rock.

The tourism center of Urgup is not far from Keslik Monastery, and here are dwellings found there.

Uchisar, located on the edge of Goreme National Park, with its 197-foot, or 60-meter, high castle-mountain, criss-crossed by passageways and was said to have 1,000 people living inside it at one time, but apparently not anymore.

Before I leave Cappadocia and pick up the alignment as it crosses the Anatolian Plateau, I would like to share a find from the state of Connecticut when I was tracking a different alignment.

Waterbury in Connecticut was the location of Holy Land USA on the left, which we are told was a theme park inspired by passages from the Bible that opened in 1955 and closed in 1985 and today the location is in an advanced state of disrepair.

On the right is a photo from a location here in Cappadocia.

Next I am going to look at the Anatolian Plateau as a whole.

The Anatolian Plateau is called the central upland region of the ancient region of Anatolia, known as Turkey today.

The region of Cappadocia and its Valley of the Fairy Chimneys where I was just looking is centrally located on the Anatolian Plateau.

Anatolia is said to mean something along the lines of “Rising Sun” or “the East” in ancient Greek, and has been a bridge between Europe and Asia for thousands of years.

In a similar fashion, Khorasan, the name historically given to the northeastern Persia Empire which came up in previous posts on this alignment, is also said to mean the “Land where the Sun Rises” or the “Eastern Province.”

The Anatolian Plateau is hemmed in by several mountain ranges – the Taurus to the South, and the Pontic Mountains in the northeast & the Kure Mountains in the northwest.

While I am here, I am going to take this opportunity to venture off the alignment and explore this ancient place because I know there is a lot to find.

The Taurus Mountains separate the Mediterranean Coastal Region of Turkey from the Central Anatolian Plateau, extending in a curve from the Province of Antalya in the West…

…to the upper reaches of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in the East.

Antalya Province, also known as the Turkish Riveria, is the center of Turkey’s Tourism Industry, and its capital, Antalya, is the fifth-largest city in Turkey.

It is the largest city on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast, with a population of over one-million.

This is Kaputas Beach on the Mediterranean Sea in Antalya on the top left, compared for similarity of appearance with Grama Bay in Albania on the top right; Vaja Beach in Korcula, Croatia, on the bottom left; and Green Sand Beach on the big island of Hawaii on the bottom right.

These are just a few of many examples I have found that demonstrate similar shapes and angles of beach and rocky coastline in very different places.

The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Xanthos is in Antalya Province, said to be an ancient Lycian city.

This is what remains of the Nereid Monument in Xanthos, with its megalithic base, and believed to be a tomb…

…that was discovered by a British explorer of Turkey, Charles Fellows, who led the archaeological excavation of Xanthos in the early 1840s and shipped an enormous amount of antique monuments to London, where they were reconstructed in the halls of the British Museum, including the Nereid Monument.

Interesting to note the headless and armless statues on display.

Charles Fellows was even knighted in 1845 for his services in the removal of Xanthian antiquities to Britain.

This is a surprisingly plain tombstone for him at London’s Highgate cemetery ~ I wonder what that signified!

The Lycian Nereid Monument was said to have inspired the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, said to have been built between 353 and 350 BC as a tomb for King Mausolus, ruler of Caria, a region of western Anatolia north of Lycia…

…and the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus was said to have been the inspiration for the old Standard Oil Headquarters in Manhattan on the left.

Said to have been built between 1884 and 1928??

Lycia was a geopolitical region in Southern Anatolia, populated by speakers of the Luwian Language group…

… said to have been a language with a hieroglyphic script in use, like early Armenian, between 1,300 BC and 600 BC…

Here are the Lycian rock-cut temple tombs of Dalyan, said to date back to the 4th-century BC.

…which are reminiscent of rock-cut Petra in today’s Jordan.

There are headless statues here in the front of the building known as “The Treasury,” like what we saw at the reconstruction of the Lycian Nereid at the British Museum.

Did all the heads just fall off from the ravages of history?

Or were the heads removed deliberately so we couldn’t see what they actually looked like?

Petra was attributed to the Nabataeans, who we are told were nomadic traders and livestock herders until for some reason they decided give up their goatskin tents and nomadic lifestyle to build the grand houses and monuments of Petra.

Once considered part of ancient Lycia, the Olympos-Beydaglari National Park is located in the Taurus Mountains in Antalya, along the Mediterranean coast, near the Kemer and Kumluca Districts. It is also called Olympos-Bey National Park.

There is that “Khem” sound again that I discussed in finding in Viet Nam and throughout Southeast Asia and other places in the world like Cymru, the original name for Wales, in “The Ancient Advanced Civilization in Southeast Asia – From Manila in the Philippines to Dhaka in Bangladesh” mentioned at the beginning of this video.

Ancient Khem is a shortened version of Ancient Khemit, the name we are told given to a technologically and spiritually advanced civilization that existed in a Golden Age that predated dynastic Egypt.

Screenshot

And the Bey of Olympos-Bey Bey is one of the five noble titles of the Moors, along with Dey, El, Al, and Ali.

All just coincidences?

Let’s take a closer look at Olympos-Bey National Park that is adjacent to Kemer.

The Olympos-Bey National Park contains the ruins of what was called the city of Olympos…

…and the park includes Mount Olympos, the highest mountain in Turkey.

This is not to be confused with Mount Olympus in Greece, on the border between Thessaly and Macedonia.

It is the highest mountain in Greece, and notable in Greek mythology for being the home of the Greek gods.

But wait…in North America, there is a Mount Olympus in Washington State, the highest mountain on the Olympic Peninsula there…

…and there is a Mount Olympus in Utah, near Salt Lake City in the Wasatch Range.

Named after Mount Olympus in Greece?

That’s certainly what we are led to believe by historical omission, but what if there is some kind of connection between them that we are not being told about?

The next place I am going to take a look at is Lake Egirdir.

Lake Egirdir is located in the Taurus Mountains.

The ancient town of Egirdir on the lake shore looks to have an artificial island, called “Yesil Ada” or “Green Island,” attached to it by a causeway.

There is also a protected harbor here at Egirdir on the top left, that looks like protected harbors I have seen around the world, like Funchal Harbor on the island of Madeira in the top middle; Olafsvik Harbor in Iceland on the right; and the ports of Calais, France and Dover, England on the bottom left and middle, that are located right across from each other in the English Channel, to name just a few.

Heading east across the Taurus Mountains running along the southern part of the Anatolian Plateau, we come to the province and city of Konya.

The Mevlana Museum is in the city of Konya.

The Mevlana Museum is also the mausoleum of the Sufi Mystic Rumi…

…whose followers founded the Mevlevi Order based there, better known as the Whirling Dervishes, who practice a spinning dance used to connect with the Divine.

The Turkish rug on the left from Konya has similar design patterns to the Persian rug from Mashhad, Iran, on the right.

The heavy masonry of the Taskopru, or Stone Bridge, is a combined regular dam and bridge in Konya Province, a flood barrier said to have been built between 1908 and 1912 on what was called a ruined arch bridge…

…and Catalhoyuk is located in Konya Province, a neolithic city that is dated back to origins in 7,100 BC…

…and Lake Tuz, pictured on the top, is in Konya Province, the second-largest lake in Turkey, and one of the largest hypersaline lakes in the world. It is compared with the world’s largest salt flat on the bottom, the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia.

Both are incredibly reflective, like a mirror of heaven!

Further east, we come to more interesting places, like Mount Nemrut…

…in Commagene, a historical kingdom of Armenia located in what is now Turkey.

Mount Nemrut is described as a tomb-sanctuary built by King Antiochus I Theos, ruler of Commagene from 70 BC – 36 BC.

On the eastern side of the complex, there are what appears to be just colossal human and animal heads.

The question is: broken heads, like we are told, or buried heads…

…because, on the western side of the complex, there is a row of intact colossal full statues with similar heads…

…as well as a large relief with a lion superimposed with an arrangement of stars, and said to depict the planets of Jupiter, Mercury, and Mars as a star chart that gives us the date of July 7th in 62 BC, and is surmised to be an indication of when construction on the complex began.

At any rate, this is what the available information has to say about it.

Heading further along towards the eastern end of the Taurus Mountains in the upper reaches of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, we are close to the province of Sanliurfa in southeast Turkey near the country’s borders with Syria and Iraq.

The capital of Sanliurfa Province, is Sanliurfa, also known as Urfa. It is also believed to be Ur Kasdim, or Ur of the Chaldeans, the hometown of Abraham, and is approximately 50-miles, or 80-kilometers, east of the Euphrates River.

The location of Abraham’s birthplace, with the entrance pictured here, is generally believed to have been in Harran, less than 20-miles, or 32-kilometers, from the city of Sanliurfa.

The Pool of Abraham, or Balikli Gol, in the city of Sanliurfa is believed to have been where Nimrod threw Abraham into a fire, but God turned the flames into water, and the logs into fish.

The carp in the Pool of Abraham are held sacred, and protected to this day.

Gobekli Tepe is an archaeological site approximately 7-miles, or 12-kilometers, northeast of the city of Sanliurfa.

It was one of the twelve primary nodal points of the Earth’s original energy grid.

In 1994, Klaus Schmidt of the German Archaeological Institute reviewed an archaeological survey done in 1963 conducted jointly by Istanbul University and the University of Chicago.

The site was completely buried, and the following year, in collaboration with the Sanliurfa Museum, Klaus Schmidt unearthed the first of many huge T-shaped pillars.

More than 200 stone pillars in about 20 circles are known through geophysical surveys, with heights up to 20 feet, or 6-meters, and weighing up to 10-tons, and fitted into sockets hewn out of bedrock.

It is dated back to the 10th-century BC, or 12,000 years ago, and is considered the oldest man-made temple complex yet discovered.

Interestingly, there are animal reliefs carved onto the pillars like this one on the left, compared with similar-looking carvings found at Cutimbo in Peru, near Lake Titicaca, on the top right; and at the Lore Lindu National Park on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia on the bottom right.

Moving northeast, close to the Pontic Mountains, is the city of Kars, in eastern Anatolia.

Kars is the largest city along Turkey’s closed border with Armenia, and a settlement that was historically a crossroads of Armenian, Turkish, Georgian, Kurdish, and Russian cultures.

As such, apparently it was of great interest, and the history we are told about it is filled with battles and sieges for control of it.

The Siege of Kars of 1855, for example, was the last major operation to take place during the Crimean War of 1853 to 1856, between the Russian Empire, which ultimately lost the war, and an alliance between the Ottoman Empire, France, Britain, and Sardinia.

Interestingly, in 1854 a British general had been sent to Kars by the supreme commander and chief of British Expeditionary Forces in Crimea to assess the situation.

When I look at this map depicting the siege, I see what appear to be at least thirteen star forts, and which appear to no longer exist in modern times.

Here is an antique map of Kars which also appears to show shapes that indicate the presence of star forts.

I believe that star forts functioned as part of the circuitry of the original grid system of the earth, and were not military in nature as we have been told.

I find them all over the alignments I have found, and they seem to have been prime targets for explorers, European colonial empires and wars.

The Kars Citadel is still here, though apparently only seven of the original 220 towers remain.

It was said to have been built by the Saltuks in 1152 AD.

There were canals in Kars…

…and these two photos taken in Kars show classic mud flood evidence of like steep streets with disappearing windows at ground-level, and below-ground level.

I can go less than a mile, or 1.6-kilometers, from where I live to the downtown historic district of Prescott, Arizona, and find exactly the same thing.

Next, I would like to look at Munzur National Park on the Anatolian plateau, situated between the Taurus and Pontic Mountains, and the Armenian Highlands.

It is the largest national park in Turkey, and was established in 1971.

This is a bend of the Munzur River in the national park in Turkey on the top left, compared with Horseshoe Bend in Arizona on the top right; this riverbend in the Hulunbuir Grasslands of Inner Mongolia on the bottom left; and a bend of the Yellow, or Huang He River, the Mother River of China.

The capital of Turkey was moved to the Anatolian Plateau in 1923, when the city of Ankara was chosen as the capital of the new state to remove it from the former imperial capital of Istanbul and to place the capital in a more central location in the country.

It appears that Ankara is quite the mix of ancient and modern infrastructure!

Within Genclik Park, which is a public park just across the street from Ankara’s main train station…

…we find Ankara’s Luna Park amusement park.

Luna Parks were found all over the world, in the past and some with the same name still exist into the present day, though not in their original splendour, like the historic Luna Park on Coney Island.

I even found that Mashhad in Iran has a Luna Park as well, in its Mellat Park, what was also on this alignment I was tracking in 2020 that started in San Francisco.

Mellat Park in Mashhad has amazing hydrological features and beautiful fountains on the left, as does Genclik Park in Ankara on the right.

It is interesting to note that the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, Denmark, are located right next to the main train station too, as seen on the left, like Like Luna Park in Ankara on the right.

I absolutely believe there was a direct connection between railroads and amusement parks in the Earth’s original energy grid system.

In our historical narrative, the Tivoli Gardens Amusement Park in Copenhagen opened in 1843, making it the third-oldest operating amusement park in the world, after Bakken in Denmark, which first opened in 1538, and the Wurstelprater in Vienna, Austria, which opened to the public in 1766.

We are told Ankara was one of the main tribal centers of the Galatians in Anatolia, and part of the ancient Celtic World on this previously seen map.

Interestingly, when I see Ankara Citadel on the top left, the foundations of which were said to have been laid by the Galatians in more ancient times (no date was given but prior to Roman times) on a prominent lava outcrop, I am once again reminded of Edinburgh Castle on the bottom left, which was said to have been built starting around 1100 AD on the plug of an extinct volcano; the Kars Citadel, said to have been built circa 1152 AD by the Saltuks; and the rocky outcrop Van Castle is situated on in Van, Turkey, said to have been built by the Urartian King Sarduri in 900 BC.

They all look strikingly similar, yet we are told they were all built randomly by different people at different places and times.

In the years since I originally did the research for this post, I have come to believe that the builders of these places were actually building on top of what were giant tree stumps. where there would have been a synergetic relationship between the two.

Here’s another photo of Edinburgh Castle to illustrate this line of thinking.

When Ankara became the capital of the new Republic of Turkey in 1923, it had been moved from Istanbul, the country’s imperial, historic, economic, and cultural center straddling the continents of Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus Strait.

Prior to the capital’s move to Ankara, Istanbul was known as Constantinople, at one time the capital of the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Latin Empire, and from 1453 to 1923, the Ottoman Empire.

I am immediately drawn to look into Galata, situated between the Bosphorus Strait and what is called the Golden Horn, directly across from the main part of historical Constantinople.

In this history I read about Galata, the name is said to have come from the Greek “Galatai, referring to a Celtic tribe of Gauls who were said to have camped here during Hellenistic times before moving on to the Galatia region in Central Anatolia.

Why would they name a place permanently for temporary inhabitants that were only passing through?

And the Galata Tower there is massive and absolutely dominates everything in its surroundings!

However, we are told the Genoese get the credit for building it in 1378, when they had a colony here between 1273 and 1453, at the apex of the walls of the citadel, also said to have been built by the Genoese, that no longer exists.

Here are more photos of the outside of the Galata Tower…

…and of the inside of the Galata Tower.

Next, the Basilica Cistern is the largest of several hundred ancient cisterns that lie beneath Istanbul, and said to have been built during the reign of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I between 527 to 565.

The Basilica Cistern is located 490-feet, or 150-meters, from the Hagia Sophia, also said to have been built during the reign of Emperor Justinian I, between 532 and 537 AD.

I found this diagram showing the geometric lay-out of the Hagia Sophia…which contains an eight-pointed star, as seen earlier in this post.

The next place I am going to look at is the city of Izmir, a city on the western edge of the Anatolian Plateau before heading west on this alignment.

Known in times past as Smyrna, from ancient times to around 1930, at which time it became predominantly known by its Turkish counterpart, Izmir.

Izmir has more than 3,000 years of recorded urban history…

…and up to 8,500 years as a human settlement since the Neolithich area, with Yesilova Hoyuk being continuously inhabited at least between 6,500 BC and to 4,000 BC.

Discovered in 2003, the Yesilova Hoyuk site was at some point in its history…

…covered in silt.

Silt is defined as a fine sand clay, or other material carried by running water and deposited as a sediment.

Izmir’s Metropolitan area extends along the outlying waters of the Gulf of Izmir, where we see what appears to be a shaped, masonry shoreline…

…and inland to the north across the Gediz River Delta, which has a shape similar to the Connecticut River along the Vermont – New Hampshire border in the United States.

The last place I am going to take a look at in Izmir is Konak Square.

This is the clock tower there, said to have been built in the Moorish style in 1901 by the Levantine French architect Raymond Charles Pere.

Levantine refers to the Latin Church of the Catholic Church in the Middle East, in the Levant, which included the country now called Turkey.

This is the Konak Pier on the eastern end of Konak Square.

Gustav Eiffel is credited with its construction in 1890, a French civil engineer and architect most famous for the tower in Paris bearing his name.

Konak Pier is now an upscale shopping mall in Izmir.

It is clear that this geographical region known since 1923 as Turkey, for less than 100-years, and known as Anatolia for far longer, has a very ancient and storied and obscured past, which goes back at least 12,000 years with the dating of the Gobekli Tepe Complex, and with many places showing evidence of having been covered over massively with silt, or mud, or whatever would have caused things like needing to be dug out from the earth.

Now I am going to be picking up the alignment leaving Izmir to where it enters the Aegean Sea.

The Aegean Sea is called an elongated embayment, or bay, of the Mediterranean Sea between the Anatolian and Greek Peninsulas.

In the North, the Aegean is connected to the Sea of Marmara, entirely within the borders of Turkey, and which connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara, and separates Turkey into its European and Asian parts…

…and said to take its name from Marmara Island, from the Greek word for marble, and it is rich in sources of marble…

…between the Straits of Dardenelles and Bosphorus.

The Strait of Dardenelles was the location of the Gallipoli Campaign, one of the bloodiest battles of World War I.

The Gallipoli Campaign took place between April 25, 1915, and January 9, 1916. A joint British and French operation was mounted to capture the Ottoman capital of Constantinople (known as Istanbul since 1923) and secure a sea route to Russia.

While the Ottomans were victorious at the end of this campaign, they ultimately lost the war. At the end of World War I, the Ottoman Empire was partitioned and lost its Middle East holdings, which were divided between the Allied Forces.

The first thing I am finding in researching information about the Gallipoli Campaign are the presence of many forts on both sides of the entrance to the Strait of Dardenelles, including, but not limited to the places circled here: Fort Sedd-el-Bahr at Cape Helles and Kilid Bahr on the European side of the Strait; and Kum Kale and Chanak, or Canakkale, on the Asian side.

Fort Sedd-el-Bahr, said to mean “Key of the Sea,” was on Cape Helles at the entrance to the Straits.

This is a view of the Sedd-el-Bahr from the bow of the SS River Clyde, a collier, at the start of the joint-British-and-French amphibious invasion of the Gallipoli Peninsula at Cape Helles on April 25th, 1915.

Its location was designated as “V Beach” of the Gallipoli Campaign.

The Royal Navy bombarded the Sedd-el-Bahr, also known as Fort #3, along with Fort Ertugrul, known as Fort #1 on the other side of “V Beach.”

The Fort at Kum Kale was on the opposite side of the entrance to the Strait of Dardenelles from Cape Helles.

The Battle of Kum Kale was said to have been fought on April 25th, 1915, between Ottoman defenders and French troops as a diversion from the main landings on the Gallipoli Peninsula.

The fort at Kum Kale was completely destroyed by naval gun fire early in the operations.

Further up, we find the Fort of Kilitbahir and Cimenlik Castle situated across from each other on the Strait of Dardenelles.

Kilitbahir, or “Lock of the Sea,” was said to have been built by Sultan Mehmet II in 1463 in the form of a clover…

…and Cimenlik Castle was also said to have been built in the same year as Kalitbahir by Mehmet II to be defenses, we are told, to ensure the protection of the Dardenelles, and to control the maritime traffic to-and-from Constantinople.

I have consistently found star forts paired together, among other things, like here in the Strait of Dardenelles…

…and many other places around the world, like the two star forts in Puebla, Mexico, the Fort of Guadalupe and Fort Loreto that are situated relatively close to each other, on a hill not far from the city center of Puebla.

The Battle of Puebla is where the legendary Cinco de Mayo battle took place on May 5, 1862, where poorly-equipped Mexican forces were said to have defeated superior French forces.

I have also found clusters of star forts in the same location.

As I alluded with the numbering of Fort Sedd-el-Bahr and Fort Ertugrul earlier, there were at least 24 numbered forts in the Strait of Dardenelles…because Fort Anadolu Hamidiye was number 24, said to have been built by the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I between 1393 and 1394.

I found this map of what are described as the Dardanelles defenses circa 1915, showing the places I have shared with you, and many more, situated in pairs, or clusters in alignment with each other.

Along the same lines, I can make a case that there were four pairs of star forts along the Lower and Upper New York Bay, with each pair situated along various points starting from Fort Hancock on Sandy Hook island in New Jersey and Fort Tilden on the Rockaway Peninsula in New York at the entrance of the Lower New York Bay, up through the pair of Fort Jay on Governors Islands and what was Fort Amsterdam in Battery Park in Lower Manhattan.

The physical structure of what was called Fort Gibson on Ellis Island is long obscured, but the Statue of Liberty stands right on top of Fort Wood.

Another shared feature of the Strait of Dardenelles and other places is that there seem to have been certain locations with a high concentration of star forts, like the island nation of Bermuda, which is located in the North Atlantic Ocean, 665-miles, or 1,070-kilometers, east-southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.

This is a 1624 map depicting numerous star fort looking structures that were found at one time throughout Bermuda, and said to have been made by Captain John Smith of Pocahontas and Virginia fame in our historical narrative.

Another place in the Atlantic Ocean with a high-concentration of star forts is Fernando de Noronha, off the coast of Brazil near the coastal city of Natal. Here are historic drawings of eight of the ten I found out about within an archipelago whose area totals 10-square miles, 26-kilometers squared.

Then I found what appears to have been at least thirteen star forts in the city of Kars at one time, the largest city on Turkey’s closed border with Armenia that we saw earlier in this post.

I think places like these were significant power centers for the energy system of the planetary grid, and star forts represented the definition of battery meaning “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…”

…and not the definition of battery meaning “The heavy fire of artillery to saturate an area rather than hit a specific target” that we are led to believe in our current historical narrative, though that definition for these certainly made them military fortifications, and targeted for destruction.

Before I move on from the Strait of Dardenelles where it meets the Aegean Sea, I would like to point out that ancient Troy, the location of the famous Trojan War between the troops of King Priam of Troy and King Agamemnon of Mycenae, was situated between the mouth of the Strait of Dardenelles…

…and Mount Ida, the location in Homer’s Iliad where the Olympian Gods gathered to watch the progress of the Trojan War is nearby

I found this old stone bridge in the Mount Ida region in Turkey on the left that looks similar to the Rakotz stone bridge in Gablenz, Germany.

Now I am going to turn my attention to the numerous islands and island groups in the Aegean Sea.

Crete is the largest and most populous of the Aegean Islands, and yet another small island packed with star forts, notated by the blue dots on this map, said to have been forts built to defend the island from enemies and pirates, by Venetians, as well as other historical influences on Crete like from the Genoese, Byzantines and Turks.

Like the one at Rethymnon…

…and Candia was said to have been built by the Venetians, known today as Heraklion, the capital of modern Crete.

The Dodecanese Islands, which includes the Island of Rhodes, which is the place for which the State of Rhode Island was named when Giovanni da Verrazzano likened an island near the mouth of Narragansett Bay to the Island of Rhodes in 1524…

…the island of Patmos, where John the Apostle was given the vision in the Book of Revelation…

…the Cyclades Island group, which includes Santorini, known for having one of the largest volcanic eruptions in history, and by the way, what an interesting lofty, rocky spot to built on top of…

…and Delos, one of the most important mythological, historical and archeological sites in Greece, and once considered a holy sanctuary.

The alignment I have been tracking goes across the island of Chios in the North Aegean Sea. While it is separated only a relatively short distance from Turkey by the Chios Strait, it is part of Greece.

The Nea Moni Monastery on Chios was said to have been constructed during the reign of the Byzantine Emperor Constantine IX Monomachus, starting in 1042 AD, with the main building having been opened in 1049 AD…

…and the complex having been completed in 1055 AD, after Constantine’s death.

Nea Moni was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990, one of 18 in Greece.

Chios is the main population center of the island, and apparently what is called the Chios Castle, called a medieval citadel said to have been built first by the Byzantines, and then finished by the Genoese…

…next to what looks like an artificially made port facility at Chios, with its straight lines and angles, like we saw in an earlier example at Egidir in Turkey compared with other places in the world, like Dover on the English Channel on the right.

…and Chios appears to be one of the many shapes a star city takes, like what we just saw on the island of Crete.

Not only that, there are Turkish, also known as Ottoman, baths at Chios Castle.

Just north of Chios Town is the town of Vrontados…

…which claims to be the birthplace of Homer, the blind poet of ancient Greece best known for the epic poems of the Iliad, about the Trojan War, and the Odyssey, about Odysseus’ ten-year voyage trying to get back home after the Fall of Troy.

Pyrgi Village is south of Chios, known for the decoration of its houses…

…and as being the traditional seat of the Mastic Villages, where the residents engage in mastic agriculture, farming the resin of the mastic tree, used as a chewing gum, treatment for things like digestive problems, and for making a liqueur and oil.

As of 2018, there were twenty-four Mastic Villages on the island of Chios dedicated to the cultivation and production of mastic.

From the island of Chios, the alignment crosses the Aegean Sea to the island of Euboea, which is administered as part of Central Greece.

Euboea is the second-largest Greek island, after Crete, and separated from Boeotia in mainland Greece by the narrow Euripus Strait.

Euboea’s main city of Chalcis is situated around the narrowest point of the Euripus Strait.

The Karababa Castle is situated on a hilltop right next to this narrow point, and said to have been built by the Ottoman Turks in 1684 to protect the city from Venetians.

And this is the waterfront of Chalcis, with its masonry banks on the left, compared with the masonry banks of the Providence River in Providence, Rhode Island, on the right.

At one time, the island of Euboea was known by another name…Negroponte…

…and part of what was known as the Kingdom, or Realm, of the Morea.

The island of Euboea is long and narrow, with a mountain range, we are told, traversing the length of it.

The island of Skyros is a regional unit of Euboea, and is the southernmost of the Sporades Islands.

Around 2,000 BC, we are told, Skyros was known as the Island of the Magnetes, identifying their homeland in Thessaly, in a part that is still known as Magnesia.

Well, that information caught my attention because awhile back I remembered reading something about Plato describing Magnesia in “The Republic” as an ideal city and society living in harmony.

There were two prosperous cities in western Anatolia with the name of Magnesia. They were Magnesia-on-the-Maeander…

…and Magnesia ad Sipylum.

Given that I believe the original ancient advanced Moorish civilization lived in peace, balance, and harmony with each other and the heavens, I find that the information that Plato gives us that described Magnesia as an ideal society really resonates with me as actually having existed at one time, and wasn’t just a fictional, idealized society as we we have been taught to believe, and instead teaching us that the world was full of discord, division and war, and that Earth’s original history just somehow unfolded randomly all over the world.

I hope I have provided enough information in this post to show you why I believe that Humanity was very advanced and connected at one time, and have given you other possibilities to consider with regards to what our True History might have been, and how and why it has been hidden from us so we would never know anything about it.

The Ancient Advanced Civilization in Southeast Asia – From Manila in the Philippines to Dhaka in Bangladesh

I have collected a variety of puzzle pieces about different places that bring a bigger picture into focus that is not immediately apparent on the surface over the course of several years of doing extensive research.

In this post, I am going to be looking into places on that alignment beginning in Manila in the Philippines, and going through places in China, Viet Nam, Laos, Myanmar and Bangladesh.

The research in this post came from a 23-part series called “Sacred Geometry, Ley Lines & Places in Alignment” that I did back in 2020 tracking a long-distance alignment of cities and places that startedin San Francisco, in which I crossed through this part of the world twice, though I did augment my original findings with new research to illustrate what took place according to our historical narrative.

I am doing this now because I am taking a break from several other projects I am working on at the moment, and in going back through my original blog posts from this series, decided to showcase this part of the original series before I go back to the other projects I am otherwise in the middle of.

The more research I do, the more connections I find that show this ancient civilization was advanced, interconnected and worldwide, and when I go back and look at research I have done in the past, I can see these connections even more clearly than before.

The starting point for this post is Manila, the capital of the Philippines.

It is the most densely populated city in the world within its boundaries.

Manila, alongside Mexico City and Madrid, are considered the world’s original global cities, due to Manila’s historic commercial networks connecting Asia with the Americas.

We are told the Spanish city of Manila was founded in 1571 by the conquistador Miguel Lopez de Legazpi.

He was the first Governor-General of the Spanish East Indies from 1565 to 1572.

The historic walled city part of Manila is called the Intramuros, said to have been established by the Spaniards in the late 1500s.

Apparently the Intramuros is a star fort.

This is a view of a street inside the Intramuros, with cobblestones, colonnades, stone masonry and balconies.

This is the inside of the San Agustin Church in the Intramuros, said to have been completed in 1607.

The first University in Manila, Universidad de San Ignacio, was established in the Intramuro by the Jesuits in 1590.

We are told that Pope Paul III issued a papal bull forming the Jesuit Order In 1540 fifty-years prior to that, under the leadership of Ignatius Loyola, 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.

Jesuits

The Pasig River flows through Manila, dividing into north and south sections.

Or is the river actually a canal, with its masonry banks?

This old post card shows the Jones Bridge and the Manila Central Post Office building on the Pasig River.

We are told the Central Post Office was built in 1926.

There was a streetcar system in Manila, called the Tranvias, construction of which was said to have been started in 1878, with the first line opening in 1882. This postcard was circa 1900, showing the contrast of the electric streetcar with the horse-drawn carriages.

By 1932, the city and suburbs were well-served by a network of 62-miles, or 100-kilometers, of track.

Then, in 1945, in the last months of World War II, the Battle of Manila brought destruction and havoc to the city of Manila and its rail infrastructure.

The Manila Tranvias fleet was damaged beyond repair, and abandoned immediately after the war.

The rails were pulled up from the city streets, and surviving streetcars were hauled away and scrapped.

This was the end of what had previously been considered one of the best street-rail networks in Asia.

Many more examples of destruction of infrastruction and many other things from wars like this through this part of the world to come.

The next place we come to on this particular alignment are the Paracel Islands, located between the Philippines and China’s island of Hainan.

The Paracel Islands are a group of islands, reefs, and banks that are strategically located; productive fishing grounds; and which also hold reserves of natural gas and oil.

While they are controlled and operated by China, they are also claimed by Taiwan and Viet Nam.

The Paracel Islands are also the location of the Dragon Hole, or Sasha Yongle Blue Hole, the world’s deepest known blue hole at 987-feet, or 301-meters, deep.

Dragon Hole is called the “Eye of the South China Sea.”

Other blues holes include the Cenote Azul Balacar on Mexico’s Costa Maya, one of the deepest cenotes in the Yucatan, believed to be 295-feet, or 90-meters, deep…

…and Blue Hole in Santa Rosa, New Mexico, which is 80-feet, or 24-meters wide and deep.

One of the most popular dive destinations in the United States, it is described as an artesian well with a constant in-flow of water that stays at a constant 62-degrees Fahrenheit, or 17-degrees celsius.

The Battle of the Paracel Islands was a military engagement between the naval forces of South Vietnam and China in 1974, and was an attempt by the South Vietnamese navy to expel the Chinese navy from the vicinity.

As a result of the battle, China established de facto control over the Paracel Islands.

The next place we come to on the alignment is Lingshui Li Autonomous County, in the southeastern part of Hainan, China’s smallest and southernmost province.

Nanwan Houdao Island Ecological Scenic Spot, better known as Nanwan Monkey Island, is adjacent to the Xincun Harbor in Lingshui.

Looking at the view from Google Earth, there are sure some interesting-looking features in the landscape there, including but not limited, to the sunken, marshy appearance of the land around the “Ecological Scenic Spot” and Xincun Harbor seen here in the screenshot.

The only way to get to Nanwan Monkey Island is via a 2-kilometer, or 1-1/4-mile, long cable-way, the longest in China.

Nanwan Monkey Island, actually a peninsula, is a state-protected nature reserve for Macaque monkeys. This red sandstone feature at the entrance is called the Garden Gate…

…and here are some scenes from inside the reserve, like the nice stone wall here upon which the macaques sit…

…and the heated swimming area for the macaques…

…and just the overall ancient stonemasonry appearance of the place.

We don’t recognize this as ancient stonemasonry because we are taught that all of this is a product of natural forces and geology.

Another thing I noticed about Lingshui is that there sure are a lot of reservoirs here in this part of Hainan Province!

Interesting to note the population density of Hainan is low compared to most Chinese coastal provinces, so high population is not the reason for the proliferation of reservoirs.

Diao Luo Mountain National Park is on the alignment further up in Lingshui Autonomous County.

It is one of five tropical rainforest regions on Hainan.

Diao Luo Mountain is the location of the Fengguoshan Waterfall cluster, the largest in Hainan Province.

In order to view the falls, there are 1,700 steps on the trail leading to the waterfall cluster.

Wuzhi Mountain is up the alignment from Diao Luo Mountain.

Wuzhishan is the highest mountain in Hainan…

…and is also known as the Five-Fingered Mountain.

There are several minority ethnic groups on Hainan.

Two are recognized ~ one of these groups is the Li People.

The areas surrounding Wuzhishan are inhabited primarily by Li People, said to be the original inhabitants of Hainan, and the largest of the ethnic minorities there.

Their tradition of making brocade is said to trace back 2,500 years.

This the Miao minority ethnic group on Hainan.

The Miaos are found through-out the southwestern provinces of China, as well is in Thailand, Laos, and Viet Nam, where they are known as the Hmong people.

They are also known for lively embroideries and brocades, as well as traditional silver ornaments that include traditional necklaces, bracelets and headwear.

There are two unrecognized minority ethnic groups.

The Muslim Utsul People, or Hainan Hui, are found in Sanya on the southern coast of Hainan.

We are told they are a Chamic-speaking people who came to Hainan by way of their Cham homeland in Viet Nam to escape the Vietnamese Invasion of 1471, when the Vietnamese completed their conquest of Cham with the sacking of Vijaya, the last Cham capital.

On the top left is a view of a temple framed by an archway in Vijaya, and on the top right is the Iron Pillar of Delhi framed by an archway in India, which is famous for the rust-resistant composition of metals used in its construction. It is said to have been made 1,600 years ago.

On the bottom left is the archway framing the Baiturraman Grand Mosque in Banda Aceh in Indonesia, which was hard hit by the Boxing Day Tsunami on December 26th, 2004, and the bottom right shows the archway framing the Hospicio Cabanas in Guadalajara, Mexico.

More on the Cham in Viet Nam and other places to come.

The other unrecognized minority ethnic group on Hainan are the Dan people, historically known as the “Boat People,” and “Gypsies of the Sea.” They live along the coasts of the southern China.

The Dan people are said to be traced back to 7,000 years ago to the Hemudu period, a culture that flourished in eastern China between 5,500 BC to 3,300 BC. This is a Hemudu site 22-kilometers, or 13-miles, northwest from Ningbo, and is called the birthplace of the Hemudu Culture.

At the same Hemudu site near Ningbo, you find this exhibit promoting the narrative that Humanity was really primitive back in those days, at the same time it was a megalithic culture.

From China’s Hainan Province, the alignment crosses into the Gulf of Tonkin.

While most immediately recognizable for the Gulf of Tonkin incident, an international confrontation that led to the United States engaging more directly in the Viet Nam War…

…you also find the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Halong Bay, which has approximately 1,600 islands and islets forming a spectacular landscape of limestone pillars…

…said to have been formed over 500 million years with very different geologic circumstances. Over the last 20 million years, these formations were said to have formed with a combination of thick limestone, hot and humid climates, and a slow overgrowth of the tectonic process.

Again, because we haven’t been taught that this could be anything other than natural, and that Humanity was functioning at a primitive level during so-called prehistoric & ancient times, we miss seeing the examples of what appear to be huge masonry blocks and a built-in archway, like what we saw on Cat Ba Island in Halong Bay.

It’s not supposed to be there, so we don’t see it. We don’t even think it.

And it is so old that there is an element of doubt about whether or not it is natural, but there are examples like this worldwide.

Leaving the Halong Bay on the Gulf of Tonkin, just a quick stop along the alignment in the Thanh Hoa, the capital of Thanh Hoa Province, on the Ma River, 150-kilometers, or 93-miles, south of Hanoi.

I saw a trident feature off the Ma River between the Gulf of Tonkin and Thanh Hoa on the top, that reminded me of a similar trident-shaped feature I saw on the Brownsville Ship Channel that runs from the Gulf of Mexico at Port Isabel, Texas to Brownsville, Texas on the bottom.

Sites around the city of Thanh Hoa include the Ho Dynasty Citadel, the only stone citadel remaining in Southeast Asia, and said to have been a breakthrough in the construction at the time it was built in 1397 of stone citadels in Viet Nam.

It was a declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011.

Yet the Ho Dynasty’s reign was said to be short, consisting of two emperors. Ho Quy Ly from 1400 to 1401, and his second son Ho Han Thuong from 1401 to 1406.

Here are some other sights around Thanh Loa.

Now that we are here in Viet Nam, I will bring up once again the Cham presence here…and in other places.

The Kingdom of Champa was said to have existed in Viet Nam from 192 AD – 1832 AD.

The Chams of modern Viet Nam and Cambodia are the remnants of the former Kingdom of Champa, and were said to have originated as an ethnic group of Austronesian origin in Southeast Asia and were accomplished seafarers that from 4,000 BC populated Southeast Asia.

Hinduism shaped the art and culture of the Champa Kingdom for centuries.

While most Chams in Viet Nam today are Muslim…

…the Balamon Cham, are along with the Hindus of Bali in Indonesia, are the only two surviving indigenous Hindu people in the world outside of India.

This is a Cham head of Shiva said to have been made in 800 AD from an alloy of gold and silver…

…and a 9th-century statue from a Buddhist monastery in Indrapura, the Champa capital.

The Champa city of My Son is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was a religious center of the Cham, and flourished from the 2nd- to the 15th-centuries.

In this first picture, you see a temple in the background, and huge megatlithic stonemasonry in the bottom of the picture…

…as well as a bigger view of the My Son temple complex here, again with the huge megalithic masonry seen in the middle of the photo.

Then there is the Ancient Khmer Empire of Cambodia.

How big of a stretch is it to see the word Khem related to Khmer, Cam, and Cham?

Ancient Khem is a shortened version of Ancient Khemit, the name we are told given to a technologically and spiritually advanced civilization that existed in a Golden Age that predated dynastic Egypt.

But could that civilization of Ancient Khemit existed worldwide?

I think it did.

This is a comparison of a solar alignment at Karnak Temple in Egypt on the left, and one at Konark Temple in India on the right.

Then there is Howard Crowhurst’s work documenting the geometry and astronomical alignments of Carnac in Brittany France.

And Robin Heath has done field-work in Wales…

…to record the astronomical alignments…

…and geometric alignments in the landscape with sacred sites there.

The ancient name for Wales is Cymru.

There’s the “Khem” sound again!

So back to Southeast Asia, the Khmers of Cambodia were responsible for building the Hindu-Buddhist temple complex at Angkor Wat, the largest in the world.

Angkor Wat is located on an artificial island surrounded by a perfectly-square moat.

This is what happens at the main Temple of Angkor Wat on the equinoxes, the time of year when the sun crosses the plane of the Earth’s equator, and day and night are of equal length, with the sun sitting right on top of the middle spire…

…and these are the Face Towers at the Bayon Temple, located within the Angkor complex.

The memory of these people has been erased from our collective memory, and replaced with a lot of mysteries.

Who built these things?

Why did they build them?

How did they build them?

These are conundrums that confound the constructs that guide our understanding of history because we haven’t been told the True History of Earth.

My next stop is Hanoi, the capital of Viet Nam in the Red River Delta.

We are told that Hanoi was founded as Thang Long, the capital of Imperial Viet Nam, in 1010, with the Thang Long Citadel said to have been built around that same time by the Ly Dynasty.

The Nguyen Dynasty, the last imperial dynasty of Viet Nam, moved the capital to the Imperial City of Hue in 1802, in a walled enclosure within the citadel there…

…which has all the hallmarks of…

…a star city…

…like what is found in Lucca, Italy…

…and what used to be in Trujillo, Peru…

…of which this is all there is left of the bastion walls in Trujillo.

Thang Long was renamed Hanoi in 1831, and conquered by the French in 1873, and from 1883 to 1945 was the capital of French Indochina. We are told the French colonization made a lasting impact on the city’s architecture that is visible today through French-styled avenues, buildings and bridges.

Like the Hanoi Opera House, said to have been built between 1901 and 1911…

…the Hang Dau Water Tower, said to have been built in 1894…

…the Long Bien Bridge…

…a bridge used by the railroad, mopeds, bicycles, and pedestrians today.

This picture was said to have been taken after the completion of the construction of the Long Bien Bridge by a French architectural firm between 1899 and 1902.

It is far easier to put a plaque on something than to build a massive engineering structure like this, with both steel and masonry.

We are told the plans were laid for a city-wide tramway system in Hanoi in 1894, but by 1899, advances in technology in those five-years made it possible to construct the entire system as state-of-the-art electric system instead of the steam-power which was originally planned…

…with construction of the first lines starting in 1900, and the first two lines being opened in 1901.

All four lines that were built over the years, we are told, gradually either deteriorated or fell victim to modernization, and these are the chaotic traffic patterns in Hanoi in our day and age.

One more thing before I leave Viet Nam for Laos.

Hanoi was the site of the world’s fair in 1902 and 1903.

The year 1902 was the year Hanoi replaced Saigon as the capital of French Indochina…and the year of the opening of the Long Bien Bridge.

The Grand Palais was said to have been built specifically for the Hanoi Exposition in 1902.

The Grand Palais of the Hanoi Exposition was completely destroyed by airstrikes at the end of World War II because when the Japanese took over Viet Nam in 1940, at which time they based their military and supply in the palace.

The next place we come to on this alignment is in the land-locked country of Laos.

Luang Namtha is the name of a Province in northern Laos, and its capital city.

The city of Luang Namtha is located on the S-shaped Tha River.

This is a site along the Tha River on the left that reminds me in appearance of Thunder Mountain in Sedona, Arizona, on the right.

There is a provincial museum in Luang Namtha City that is largely an anthropological museum…

…containing numerous items relating to the local people like clothing, textiles, household items, Buddhist-related items, and bronze Khamu drums.

The majority of Khamu, or Khmu, now live in northern Laos, though the Khamu are indigenous to Southeast Asia, and are found in Myanmar (formerly Burma), Thailand, Viet Nam (where they are officially recognized), and in the Yunnan Province of China (where they are not officially recognized).

Yet another Kham to connect to the Ancient Kemetic civilization of Egypt.

Other peoples of Laos include the Hmong, a sub-group of the Miao people…

…the Akha people…

…and the Mien People.

What I find interesting is that the woven textiles and traditional clothing of all of these ethnic groups is not significantly different from each other, nor is it significantly different from that of other places like the Helong weavers of West Timor in Indonesia…

…or the textiles and clothing of Peru.

Is there a much closer relationship between these different groups of people than what we have been told?

The Nam Ha National Protected Area in Luang Namtha Province is home to some of the Khmu, Hmong, and Akha peoples, among several other of the ethnic minorities in Laos.

The Pha Yueng Waterfall is located in the Nam Ha Protected Area, on the road from Luang Namtha to Muang Sing.

Muang Sing is a small town and district in Luang Namtha Province, 37-miles, or 60-kilometers, northwest of the town of Luang Namtha, and in close proximity to the border between Laos, and Yunnan Province of China.

The principal Buddhist temple here is called the That Xieng Tung Stupa.

A festival is held here every year on the full moon of the twelfth lunar month (in October or November).

The Nam Keo Waterfall is slightly over 1-mile, or 2-kilometers from this stupa.

Muang Sing is also the name of an historical park in neighboring Thailand.

It protects the remains of two Khmer temples said to date from the 13th- and 14th-centuries in Thailand’s Kanchanaburi Province, on the S-shaped Khwae Noi River.

Before I move along the alignment into Myanmar, there are several more things I would like to bring up in or about Laos.

One is the Patuxai, or the Arch of Triumph of Ventiane, built in the capital city of Laos, and which we are told was built in the 1960s as a monument dedicated to those who fought in the struggle for Laos’ independence from France.

Among other problems with that dating of the construction of this arch is that during the 1960s, Laos had its own problems with the Viet Nam war spilling over into Laos, with Laos being bombed by American planes starting in 1964, in retaliation we are told, for the shooting down of an American plane by insurgents, and after which bombing runs over Laos intensified, with over 100,000 bombing runs on Laos’ eastern border with North Viet Nam.

Don’t we hear the exact same reason given for aggressive military action even today, like what started against Yemen on January 12th of 2024 ?

Same template, same tactic, same reason.

Controlled opposition set-up to wreak havoc on the lands of the ancient civilization and its people.

For example, the Plain of Jars in Laos.

The Plain of Jars is a mystery, with thousands of what look like huge jars cut from stone filling the landscape.

Some of the stone jars are massive in size!

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

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

Why the incessant and excessive bombing of a megalithic archeological site?

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

One last place that I would to mention in Laos is Luang Prabang on the left, where there are beautiful waterfalls that look similar to Havasupai Falls in Arizona’s Grand Canyon on the right.

Leaving the country of Laos, I am tracking the alignment into the country of Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, through the city of Lashio, the largest town in northern Shan State.

The population of Shan State is mostly comprised of the Shan People, Chinese, and Burmans.

The Shan people live primarily here, but they are also found on other parts of Myanmar, China, Laos, Thailand, and India.

The majority of Shan are Theravada Buddhists or practice the animist Tai folk religion.

The Shan Hills are found in Myanmar’s Shan State.

There are hot springs in Lashio, of which I come across many tracking planetary alignments.

The Gokteik Viaduct was said to have been built in 1899 – 1900 by an American Company on behalf of British Authorities, and is between Lashio and Pyin Oo Lwin in the Mandalay Region of Myanmar, and which became a permanent military outpost for the British in 1897 and eventually the summer capital of British Burma, which existed from 1824 until 1948 when Burma chose to become a fully independent republic instead of a British Dominion.

The Gokteik Viaduct goes across the Gokteik Gorge, which has at least one waterfall as seen here.

The appearance of the Gokteik Viaduct reminded me of this trestle of the Algoma Central Railway in Ontario. The Algoma Central Railway was said to have been chartered in 1899 and built between Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and Hearst, Ontario by 1914.

The Algoma Central Railway is known for its daily excursion to Agawa Canyon, 113-miles, or 182-kilometers, north of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, through a sparsely populated area with few roads.

There are waterfalls in the Agawa Canyon as well.

Here is a comparison of the Gokteik Viaduct at the Gokteik Gorge in Myanmar on the left, with the Algoma Central Railway Trestle at the Agawa Canyon on the right.

There is no doubt in my mind that there was an energy-generating connection for the original civilization between the railroad, s-shaped river bends, hydro-electricity generation, waterfalls, gorges and springs.

In 2023, I researched these findings extensively in my blog post “Of Railroads and Waterfalls and Other Physical Infrastructure of the Earth’s Grid System.”

Next, let’s take a look at the British Colonial Summer capital of Pyin Oo Lwin in Myanmar.

This is the All Saints Anglican Church there.

Where have I seen that style of church architecture before, with the Moorish-looking tower next to the nave?

All over the place!!!

Like the New Old South Church in Boston, Massachusetts…

…this church in Flagstaff, Arizona…

…and the Chapel de Les Alegries in Spain near Barcelona, to name just a few.

This is the Gandamar Myaing Hotel, said to have been an old British colonial mansion converted into a hotel.

I have seen that style of architecture all over the place as well.

In Nova Scotia, a maritime province of eastern Canada…

…Spencer, Oklahoma just outside of Oklahoma City…

…and on the left, in Penns Grove, New Jersey; in the middle, in Jerome, Arizona; and on the right in Providence, Rhode Island.

This is the Purcell Tower in downtown Pyin Oo Lwin, said to have been built in 1934 by the Gillette and Johnson Company to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of the reign of George V of Great Britain.

It also looks like a Moorish Clock Tower.

This is actually called the Moorish Clock Tower, and is located in Guayaquil, Ecuador…

…St. Mark’s Campanile in Venice, Italy, which is also a bell-tower…

…and in the United States, there is the Emerson Bromo-Seltzer Clock Tower in Baltimore, Maryland…

…the Neenah clock tower in Wisconsin…

…and the Port Townsend, Washington clock tower, again to name just a few of many examples.

I will end my tour of Myanmar with a picture of waterfalls in Pyin Oo Lwin.

Now we are coming into the last leg of the journey along this part of the alignment in Bangladesh.

The country of Bangladesh’s placement on the Bay of Bengal is such that it contains much of the Ganges Delta, the largest delta on earth formed by the confluence of the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna Rivers.

While not directly on this alignment, the Sundarbans are described as consisting of mangrove areas, land for agricultural use, mud flats and barren land, and is intersected by multiple tidal streams and channels.

The Sundarbans National Park in West Bengal, India, is home to the largest population of Bengal tigers.

The Bengal tiger ranks amongst the biggest wild cats alive today, though it is an endangered species.

Note the stone with angles this tiger is standing on, and the large, what looks like stone-work, in the background.

The Bengal tiger was named for a historical place, like the Barbary apes, a species of macaque, of the Atlas Mountains of Algeria and the Rif Mountains of Morocco, and also found in Gibraltar.

This guy is also sitting on top of what looks like old stonework.

The Barbary Coast, or Barbaria, was also the name given to a vast region stretching from the Nile River Delta, across Northern Africa, to the Canary Islands.

Memories of places and people is quite frequently retained in the name of something, in this case species of animals indigenous to particular places.

This slight-of-hand name change seems to be what happened with this part of what was the ancient civilization of Bengal. Change and rearrange a few letters, and you have “Bangla.” No one’s the wiser because the region’s true past history is unknown to the general public.

Interesting to note that we told that the proprietary rights to the Sundarbans were sold to the British East India Company in 1757 by the Mughal Emperor Alamgir II, although I also found a reference to the Battle of Plassey occurring that same year in which the British East India Company defeated the Nawab of Bengal and his French allies.

The British East India Company ruled over parts of the Indian Subcontinent between 1757 and 1858, commencing after the 1757 Battle of Plassey, called a decisive victory over the Nawab of Bengal, and this was considered to be the start of British Imperialism in India, and a key step in the eventual British domination of vast areas there.

The British East India Company held a monopoly granted to it by Queen Elizabeth I of England in 1600 between South Africa’s Cape of Good Hope and Tierra del Fuego’s Cape Horn at the southern tip of South America, until 1834 when the monopoly was lost.

We are told It was initially formed to trade in the Indian Ocean region with the East Indies, which was the Indian subcontinent and southeast Asia, and yet it seized control of large parts of the Indian subcontinent, and ruled the beginnings of the British Empire in India.

Its three Presidency Armies totalled an estimated 260,000 soldiers, twice the size of the British Army at the time.

It ceased operations on June 1st of 1874 when it was dissolved.

Systematic management of the mangrove forest tracts of the Sundarbans was administered by the British starting in 1860s, apparently to simultaneously protect the forests and remove the resources.

The borders of the country of Bangladesh were the major portion of the historic region of Bengal, an ancient civilization dating back at least 4,000 years.

The borders of modern Bangladesh were established with the separation of Bengal and India in 1947, when the region became East Pakistan of the newly formed State of Pakistan following the Boundary Partition of India, even though it was separated from West Pakistan by 994-miles, or 1,600-kilometers.

Bangladesh became an independent republic in 1971 after a period of armed conflict.

This was the flag of Bangladesh circa 1971.

The only difference in the flag of the country today is that the image of the country is no longer in the circle.

The Meghna River of the Ganges Delta is the one of the most important rivers in Bangladesh, and the widest river to flow completely within the boundaries of Bangladesh.

The river is described as almost perfectly straight in its lower reaches towards the Bay of Bengal.

I believe all so-called river systems are actually canal systems, and I have found extensive evidence all over the world to support this belief.

One example would be the identical appearances of the confluences on the top left of the Raccoon and Des Moines Rivers in Iowa; that of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers near St. Louis on the right; and where the White Nile and Blue Nile meet at Khartoum in Sudan on the bottom left.

As a matter of fact, the Mississippi River Delta, Nile River Delta, and Yangtze River Delta are in linear alignment with respect to each other, straight across the 30-degree north parallel.

I tracked the alignment starting in Manila through Dhaka, the capital and largest city of Bangladesh, and one of the largest and most densely populated cities in the world, with a population of 20.2 million in the Greater Dhaka area.

It is the largest city of eastern South Asia, a subregion which besides Bangladesh, also includes the countries of Bhutan, Nepal, and India, and is between the eastern Himalayas and the Bay of Bengal.

We are told the city of Dhaka rose to prominence in the 17th-century in the Mughal Empire in South Asia, and for 75 years was the capital of Mughal Bengal, also known as the Bengal Subah.

This building is what is called the Pink Palace, or Ahsan Manzil, in Dhaka, and was the official palace and seat of the Nawab of Dhaka.

We are told that the construction of it started in 1859, and completed in 1872.

The Pink Palace in Dhaka is described as having been constructed in the Indo-Saracenic Revival architecture style, also known as Indo-Gothic, Mughal-Gothic, and Hindoo Style, and was said to have been utilized by British architects in India in the later 19th-century, especially in public and government buildings.

Here is a comparison on the left of an outdoor spiral, what looks to be iron staircase, at Ahsan Manzil, with the wooden staircase at the Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, New Mexico on the right.

And when I saw the existence of a pink palace in Dhaka, I was reminded of the pink Don CeSar Beach Resort, a massive building located on St. Petersburg Beach in Florida, and which I drove past many times when I lived in neighboring Clearwater, Florida, for a few years.

The Don CeSar was said to have been developed by Thomas Rowe, with a design by architect Henry H. DuPont, opening in 1928. It was said to have gained renown as a Gulf of Mexico playground for America’s pampered rich at the height of the Jazz Age in the 1920s and 1930s, a has this reputation to this day.

Then there is the pink Prince’s Palace of Monaco, the official residence of the sovereign prince of Monaco, and said to have been built in 1191 as a Genoese fortress, and home of the Grimaldi family since they captured it in 1297.

Hatirjheel Lake in Dhaka was said to have been constructed under the Bangladesh Army and Special Works Organization (SWO) in the Center of Dhaka, starting in 2007, which also was said to have built…

…the Hatirjheel Musical Dancing Fountain, the largest in South Asia, with an amphitheater that seats 2,000 people.

Did they construct it…or get something working that was already built?

I was reminded of the Fountains of Bellagio in Las Vegas.

This is the Kamalapur train station in Dhaka, with its gigantic archways. It was also said to have been designed and opened in the 1960s.

The railroad is an important mode of transportation in Bangladesh.

Dhaka was one of several places given the nickname “Venice of the East.”

We are told that there are three major canal systems in Bangladesh that drains into the three major rivers around Dhaka – the Turag; the Balu; and the Buriganga rivers.

This is what the Kallyanpur canal looks like today.

The Dutch East India Company, also known as VOC, was chartered on March 20th of 1602 to trade primarily with Mughal Bengal, India and Southeast Asian countries when the Dutch government granted it a 21-year monopoly for the Dutch spice trade. 

Dutch East India Company flag

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.

It is considered by many to be to have been the forerunner of modern corporations.

Mughal Bengal was described as a “Paradise of Nations,” and its inhabitants living standards were among the highest in the world at one time.

Mughal Bengal was from where 50% of textiles and 80% of silks were imported.

For a then-and-now comparison, this is a typical photo of the poverty found in Bangladesh today.

As of the 2022 statistics of the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics, 1.82-million people lived in slums, lacking access to clean water, safe sanitation, and wast e management.

This was a view of Dhaka from across the Buriganga River, said to have been painted in 1861 on the left, and on the right, Dhaka across the Buriganga River today.

This was an historic photo from the 1880s of the Mitford Hospital in Dhaka, which was said to have been established in 1854 after land that was bequeathed by Robert Mitford for public works in Dhaka was made available for that purpose in 1850.

There was a whole lot going on the historical record we have been given around the years on either side of 1850.

I believe the official kick-off of the new historical reset timeline was the “Great Exhibition of All Nations,” opened by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1851…

…in the Crystal Palace in London…

…and 1851 was the same year the Prime Meridian of earth was moved from the Great Pyramid of Giza to Greenwich, London, England, where the Royal Observatory is located.

The parasitic beings who found a way to incarnate into human form engineered a hostile takeover of the planetary grid system, and they invented a new history based to a certain extent on the original civilization, and inserted themselves into the new timeline as royalty, among other things, and objects of worship and veneration.

For one example, this is the Prince Albert Memorial in London’s Kensington Gardens, said to have been unveiled in 1872.

This hostile takeover was not about benefiting Humanity by any stretch of the imagination.

Everything that has taken place since this happened has been about the degradation and diminishment of Humanity, and the destruction of the original beautiful and high civilization, as we have seen all along this alignment from Manila to Dhaka.

There’s much more I could bring forward from this region to talk about, but there is enough in this post to show you that there is a persistent pattern of colonization, economic and social domination, the claiming of the legacy of the original ancient people of the Earth as their own, and the destruction of warfare in this part of the world alone, and these same patterns are visible everywhere else as well, and this is only a snapshot of what has been taking place on Earth. 

On the Trail of Giants, in Appalachia and Beyond – Theme 2: Giants

I am in the process of organizing my recent blot post “On the Trail of Giants – In Appalachia and Beyond,” into the four main themes that are interwoven throughout the original post that I want to bring forward separately for your consideration.

This is the second themed segment that is done, with the featured theme of “Giants.”

The first themed segment was “Robber Barons and Resetters.”

The other two segments will feature the following main themes of the original video: ”The Energy Grid;” and “The Cataclysm.”

This particular post on “Giants” will be focusing on topics including, but not limited to, how 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.}

There are clues to be found in the past and present about something huge that was and is being hidden from us which will be explored in this video.

I have been researching aspects of what I am presenting in this post for years, but this subject came about as an in-depth research topic for me through a viewer, Aaron, who sent me places he had identified to look at in places ilike Pennsylvania and West Virginia; different articles he found on giants skeletons; and some place alignments he discovered from his own inner prompting that are very revealing in terms of what has actually been going on here

Aaron is deeply connected to Appalachia, having been born and raised in Marion County, West Virginia, and currently resides in Western Pennsylvania.

I grew up in suburban Maryland in a location very close to a lot of the places mentioned in this post, so I have been to, or near, many of the places mentioned here – church youth retreats, school trips, sightseeing trips, and many other occasions.

Growing up, we accepted as true what we are told about our history, but I know from my own experience of them that these places have a feeling of being much older beneath the surface of our awareness, just like the giants themselves.

Aaron sent me places to look at that look like megalithic-looking stone structures that are tucked away in the state park and public land system, and explained to us as being natural rock formations, for example, created by the sediments deposited in streams and rivers more than 300-million-years ago the Paleozoic era.

He brought my attention to places like Boxcar Rocks in Lebanon County on Pennsylvania State Game Lands 211, described as a long line of stack boulders that are a natural geologic formation a little over a half-mile, or .8-kilometers, long, and 60-feet, or 18-meters, high.

Yet here are images that Aaron sent me where the stone blocks of Boxcar Rocks look like they have been cut-and-shaped!

The Appalachian Trail runs through “Pennsylvania State Game Lands #211” in Swatara State Park.

This is Lock #5 of the old Union Canal on the “Bear Hole Trail” of Swatara State Park.

The Union Canal in southeastern Pennsylvania between Middletown, Pennsylvania to Reading, Pennsylvania, a distance of 82-miles, or 132-kilometers and said to have been built between 1792 and 1828, until it closed in 1885.

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.

The construction of the Union Canal was said to have started under the administration of President George Washington in 1792, and was touted as the “Golden Link” in providing an early transportation route for shipping anthracite coal and lumber to Philadelphia.

This would have been less than ten years after the end of the American Revolutionary War in 1783, supposedly during a time in our history when society was based on agriculture and not technologically advanced.

Keep in mind they were said to have been doing all of this heavy construction work before the start of the Industrial Revolution in America, which would have been in the 1870s according to our historical narrative.

It’s been speculated on alternative media for quite awhile that George Washington and Adam Weishaupt were the same person.

Adam Weishaupt was trained by Jesuits, and was the founder of the Bavarian Order of the Illuminati on May 1st of 1776.

So at the very least they were contemporaries, since the Declaration of Independence was signed only two-months later, on July 4th of 1776.

Nah, that’s probably just another conspiracy theory!

Yet the label of conspiracy theory or theorist has been used to disparage and shut down anyone who dares to question the narrative.

At any rate, the “Main Line of Public Works,” of which the Union Canal was a part of, was passed by the Pennsylvania Legislature in 1826 to fund various transportation systems, including canal, road, and railroad.

Next, Aaron drew my attention to the World’s End State Park in the Loyalsock State Forest, and is situated around the s-shaped bends of Loyalsock Creek.

Here are some photos from the “World’s End State Park,” in the “Endless Mountains.” with what appears to be shaped and cut, block-shaped stone-work.

World’s End State Park is located in Pennsylvania’s “Endless Mountains,” a region of northeastern Pennsylvania that are not considered true mountains, but a dissected plateau on the Allegheny Plateau, and what we are told is that they were comprised of sedimentary rocks of sandstone and shale that were part of a lowland that collected sediments from mountains to the southeast that eroded millions upon millions of years ago.

This region was historically inhabited by the Susquehannock, Iroquois, and Munsee-Lenape peoples.

Another place Aaron sent me to look at was Beartown Rocks can be found in Clear Creek State Forest near Sigel, Pennsylvania, in Jefferson County.

The land that became the Clear Creek State Forest was purchased in 1919, at the end of the “lumber-era” that had swept through the Pennsylvania Mountains, by the end of which, Pennsylvania was stripped of its old-growth forests.

The entire park was established on three tracts of land in five Pennsylvania counties – Jefferson, Venango, Forest, Mercer, and Clarion.

Beartown Rocks in the part of the park in Jefferson County near Sigel are described as a beautiful rock formation consisting of “house-sized” boulders, that are spread out far enough they have road-like spaces in-between them, making it feel like a “rock city.”

In the section of the park in Venango County, I found references to an historic railroad that ran along-side the curvy Allegheny River in the Kennerdale Tract of the Clear Creek State Park that is now part of the hiking trail system here.

The Clear Creek State Park is very close to West Hickory, Pennsylvania.

As a matter of fact, these other places I am looking at are close to West Hickory too!

West Hickory is where the tallest recorded skeleton in North America was found, at 18-feet, 5.5-meters.

More on the West Hickory giant skeleton later in this post.

Next, Aaron directed me to Panther Rocks in Moshannon State Forest.

The Moshannon State Forest is in five counties – Centre, Elk, Cameron, Clinton and Clearfield – with its main offices in Penfield, Pennsylvania in Clearfield County.

At one time in Penfield’s history, and one of many exmaples throughout the region, it was a company town for the logging and coal mining industries in what was a local resource extraction economy, and the railroad came through here at one time.

Immigrants from Europe settled in the area to work the deep mines scattered through the Benzette Valley here.

There’s not much left to speak of in Penfield, but there are recreational activities nearby at Moshannon State Forest, Bilger’s Rocks Park, Parker Dam State Park and Black Moshannon State Park.

Panther Rocks at Moshannon State Forest are described as a small rock city made of several large sandstone blocks, complete with streets, overhangs, channels, crevices and a short tunnel, also said to have been naturally formed more than 300-million-years ago.

The nearby Bilger’s Rocks in Clearfield County’s Bloom Township near the town of Grampian, and is described as a larger, naturally-formed stone-city than what is found at Panther Rocks, with the same story as to how they were said to have been formed.

It is important to note that Bilger’s Rocks has many examples of what appear to be toolmarks, and linear patterns that look like they were carved or molded, and has the same rock-city-like qualities of these other places we have been looking at tucked away in the Pennsylvania Park system.

Parker Dam State Park is surrounded by the Moshannon State Forest.

The Park was said to have been constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression.

The original dam here was said to have been constructed as a splash dam for the movement of lumber after he leased lumbering rights at some point after lumber harvesting began here in 1794, and the CCC was said to have built the current dam there to replace it as part of the improvements the otherwise unemployed, unskilled young men made when they came to work on the park.

The Civilian Conservation Corps, or CCC, operated from 1933 to 1942 in the U.S. for unemployed, unmarried men to do manual labor related to the conservation and development of natural resources in rural lands owned by federal, state, and local governments.

In the nine-years of its operation, the CCC employed 3,000,000 young men.

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.

Black Moshannon State Park is largely surrounded by the Moshannon State Forest.

It is located in Rush Township in Centre County, and surrounds a lake formed by another dam, also said to have been constructed by the CCC, on Black Moshannon Creek at the site of a former mill-pond dam.

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.

The boggy Black Moshannon State Park in Pennsylvania has a similar story as Cranberry Glades in West Virginia,

At this point I am going to bring in similarities between Black Moshannon in Pennsylvania and Cranberry Glades in West Virginia.

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.

These species include cranberries, sphagnum moss, skunk cabbage, and carnivorous plants, and the Cranberry Glades are the southernmost home of many of the plant species found here.

Interestingly, among other things, both locations have s-shaped river bends and airports nearby, with the name of the parks notated by an oval; the airports by a box; and the river bends are pointed at by arrows.

Cranberry Glades is located close to both the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve, and White Sulphur Springs, the location of the luxury Greenbrier Resort.

The New River Gorge is one of the few places that I know of that still has a railroad operating right along beside the s-shaped New River.

The Amtrak Cardinal still runs through the New River Gorge 3 days/week.

The Amtrak Cardinal Line was once a part of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, formed from smaller Virginia Railroads starting in 1869 under the guidance of Collis P. Huntington, and first opened in 1873, providing a rail link between the East Coast ports and Midwest cities.

The city of Huntington in West Virginia was named for him.

Aaron sent me this newspaper clip about an almost 7-foot-, or 2-meter-, long skeleton, of massive proportions, that 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.”

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.

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 1900 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.

Why is there such a contradiction of information, and vehement denial on the subject of giant skeletons, when there were historical records of their existence?

Here is another publication clipping sent to me by Aaron on the subject of giants.

Talking about the Great Lake 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, seen earlier in this post, of the ten featured on this graphic, three are in the vicinity of where we have been looking at around 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.

The Great Serpent Mound in Peebles, Ohio, is described as an effigy mound that is 1,348-feet-, or 411-meters-, long, and 3-feet-, or almost one-meter-, high.

An effigy mound is defined as a raised pile of earth built in the shape of a stylized animal, symbol, religious figure, person, or some other figure.

Here is a detailed sketch of the area from an 1883 archeological expedition on the left that was in an article from the Volume 39 of the 1889 – 1890 “Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine,” authored by F. W. Putnam.

It shows the proximity of the Great Serpent Mound to the s-shaped bends of Brush Creek, and its nearby confluences/junctions with other watercourses, compared with the Google Earth Screenshot of the location on the right.

Now I am starting to look for railroad history every time beside all these s-shaped rivers, but it was elusive here for some reason.

The only thing I was really able to find was this one photograph of railroad tracks at the Scioto Brush Creek State Nature Preserve in Adams County, Ohio.

I mentioned to Aaron that I was having difficulty finding information on historic railroad in this area next to the Great Serpent Mound.

So he sent me a link he found when he looked as well of a 1914 Railroad Map of Ohio from the Ohio Public Utilities Commission showing all the railroads in Ohio.

It is hard to see in this form, but if you click on the quadrants of the map, it shows a close-up of each.

Here is a close-up of the railroads in the southwestern part of Ohio where Peebles and Adams & Scioto County is located near the state’s border with Kentucky, which is formed by the s-shaped bends of the Ohio River. 

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad is marked in the yellow on the map, where it parallels the Ohio River. 

Peebles in circled in red on the rail-line passing through, and there is a red box around “Brush Creek” showing an historic railroad line there.

Astronomical alignments have been found in the shape of the Great Serpent Mound.

The official narrative loves to describe the Mound Builders as “indians in loin cloths building the mounds one basketful of dirt at a time…” that “…achieved something extraordinary with their profound understanding of geometry and astronomy.”

Even the name of “Hopewell” given to the civilization of the Mound Builders was after the owner of the farm where an extensive earthwork site was excavated in 1891.

Interesting to note the alignments Aaron uncovered when he was prompted to look into the relationship between the Serpent Mound as a hub and the locations on Google Earth of Kirkbride Facilities (marked by white), key masonic lodges (green), and state capitals (red).

I believe that the Earth’s original free energy grid system, which was originally designed to benefit all life everywhere, was reverse-engineered into a control system used against Humanity by those responsible for what has taken place here for the benefit of a very few.

And what are Kirkbride Facilities?

Thomas Kirkbride was a Pennsylvanian who was said to have designed a system of insane asylums starting in the mid-19th-century that were constructed according to the Kirkbride Plan across the U. S. and while numerous Kirkbride structures still exist, many have been demolished, partially-demolished, or repurposed.

I will be talking more about Aaron’s findings along these lines in the third themed segment of this series, which is on “The Energy Grid.”

It is interesting to note that in the lower right quadrant of the 1914 Ohio Railroad map that insane asylums, and other state institutions, were actually highlighted on it.

It certainly seems like the institutionalization of people for one reason or another was quite common during this time period in our history.

Next, 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

It is interesting to note that crop circles have appeared in proximity to these three places in Ohio and England.

This one appeared near the Great Serpent Mound in a soybean field in August of 2003.

Another one appeared in a cornfield in Miamisburg near the Miamisburg Mound, almost exactly a year later, on August 25th of 2004.

And crop circles show up near Silbury Hill quite frequently, like this one on July 5th of 2009, called a “Mayan Mask” design.

Crop Circles are another subject that makes the Establishment want to classify them as a hoax.

But the complexity and intricacy of crop circles that have manifested certainly make it challenging to explain them away as hoaxes.

Number 9 on the Top 10 list in North America was found 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 presence of giant humans here.

Grave Creek Mound in Moundsville, West Virginia, is just the short distance of 9-miles, or 15-kilometers, north of Cresap on the Energy Highway which parallels the Ohio River…

…and also the route of the Ohio River Railroad, most of which survives today for use by CSX for freight transportation. unlike so many other places where it is completely gone.

https://www.csx.com/index.cfm/customers/maps/csx-system-map/

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 were uncovered, but not listed on the top ten giant discovered in North America for some reason. I guess because it was done by amateurs.

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 decommisioned 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 has 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!

Hmmm – wonder what that was all about!

Wheeling is just up the Ohio River a short-distance from Moundsville.

Wheeling became an important railroad hub, political power, and manufacturing center for cigars, matches, and nails, from the completion of the B & O Railroad from Baltimore to Wheeling in 1852, and the beginning Ohio River Railroad in 1882.

By June of 1961, passenger service had ended, and in the years that followed, the industrial base of the area declined for reasons ranging from strict regulations to foreign competition, and the railroad infrastructure was no longer needed.

Moundsville had been incorporated in 1830, and the B & O Railroad came here in 1852

The B & O Railroad Main Line diverged from the Ohio River Railroad at Grave Creek in Moundsville, and linked to Fairmont in Marion County, West Virginia.

Aaron also provided me with recorded references to giant skeletons that were found in in Marion County, that is tucked in-between West Virginia’s borders with Ohio to the West; Pennsylvania to the North; and Maryland to the East.

Here is an oral account that was recorded of giant bones found on the Monongahela River in Marion County.

A local woman reported that a schoolmaster had found four human skeletons near the river, presumably washed from their graves, where Palatine is now, and before reburying them, measured them and found that they were 8-feet, or almost 2.5-meters, -long.

Today, Palatine is part of Fairmont on the Monongahela River.

Fairmont is the seat of Marion County.

Aaron also sent me this information on p. 10 in “The History of Marion County.”

The information on this page referred to:

–Workmen preparing to build a bridge unearthed three giant skeletons, measuring over 7-feet, or 2-meters, in length, in the village of Rivesville at Paw Paw Creek;

–Other skeletons having been found in the area, like around Boothsville.

The excerpt also references traces of an “aboriginal fort having been found 2-miles, or a little over 3-kilomers, north of Fairmont.

The only fort I can find any information on to speak of near Fairmont is “Pricketts Fort,” which just happens to be the same distance north of Fairmont that is referenced on the “History of Marion County” page.

Pricketts Fort State Park is at the confluence of the Monongahela and Pricketts Creek, and we are told that it is was a reconstructed “refuge fort to defend local settlers from hostile indian raids.

A couple of interesting things to note about the Picketts Fort location.

First is that the site of the fort is located on a river-bend, right next to an old railroad bridge that is now part of the Marion County Rail-Trail, and there are railroad tracks right next to the Monongahela River, still in use by the Fairmont Subdivision, a railroad from Grafton to Rivesville that is owned and operated by CSX Transportation on what used to be part of the B & O Railroad Mainline.

Fairmont is located just above the confluence of where the West Fork and Tygart Valley Rivers meet to form the Monongahela River.

I searched for more information on Fairmont’s railroad history and this is what I found.

First, the Fairmont & Clarksburg Electric Railroad was an inter-urban electric streetcar system that served the Fairmont and Clarksburg areas, linked by a main-line, and connected the communities of Bridgeport, Fairview, Mannington and Weston.

It offered both passenger and freight services, and connected communities and coal camps.

It became operational in 1901.

This interurban streetcar system was abandoned entirely by 1947, when the system had transitioned entirely to bus services.

This was the crossing of this interurban line at Hawkinberry Run near Rivesville, where aforementioned giant skeletons were found in Marion County.

Besides the historic main-line between Fairmont and Wheeling in West Virginia Next, the Fairmont, Morgantown & Pittsburgh Railroad once connected Fairmont to Uniontown in Pennsylvania, a distance of 56-miles, or 17-kilometers, from 1894, until 1953 when passenger service ended after the importance of the line wanted as coal mines closed along the route.

By 1991, most of the line between Fairmont and Uniontown was abandoned, with the exception of two short stretches that are still in use today by CSX Transportation.

Other places of interest in West Virginia include places like the Greenbrier River Trail, which is located between the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs and Lewisburg on Interstate 64, also near the bogs at Cranberry Glades.

It was also a former railroad bed and right-of-way.

What is now the Greenbrier River Trail was gifted to the State of West Virginia in the late 1970s and opened as a recreational, multi-use trail in 1980.

It runs between North Caldwell and Cass in Eastern West Virginia.

Cass was the location of the Virginia Pulp and Paper Company, and named for Joseph Kerr Cass, the Vice-President and co-founder of the pulp and paper company.

Most of the town named for Joseph K. Cass, and its buildings, were bought by the State of West Virginia in 1961 after the pulp and paper mill closed in 1960, and it became the Cass Scenic Railroad State Park.

The Cass Scenic Railroad State Park continues to offer trips to Whittaker Station; the ghost town of Spruce; and Bald Knob, the highest point of the Back Allegheny Mountain in Pocahontas County.

The logs for the pulp mill in Cass came from the nearby Cheat Mountain, which were brought by rail to the mill for processing until the mills closure.

Cheat Mountain, which is next to the Back Allegheny Mountain, was once the home of the largest red spruce forest south of Maine.

Cheat Mountain is flanked on the western side by U.S. Route 219 and on the eastern side by the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad.

The Cheat River runs along this section of West Virginia between the state’s border with both Pennsylvania and Maryland.

Aaron sent me this reference to giant skeletons having been uncovered in the location of the Cheat River.

The first reference was a Tucker County resident finding giant bones protruding from the ground in the area on the Cheat River known as “Horse Shoe” in 1774, that he estimated would have been from someone 8-feet, or almost 2.5-meters, -tall when he laid them out.

Also, other settlers found large-size bones nearby in what is described as an “ancient village” that had earthen and stone mounds, earning the area the nickname “Giant Town.”

This brings us to one of several Civil War correlations between the subject of historical giants and Civil War activity in the course of doing present and past research.

We are told that during the American Civil War, Cheat Mountain was of strategic importance during the early part of the Operations in West Virginia Campaign.

The Battle of Cheat Mountain, also known as the Battle of Cheat Summit Fort, took place between September 12th to 15th of 1861, and was the first battle that General Robert E. Lee led troops into combat.

Still a part of Virginia at the time, since what became the state of West Virginia was not formed until after the Civil War, troops under Lee sought to regain confederate territory that had been gained by the Union after Union troops had advanced into the western region of Virginia from Ohio.

The Battle of Cheat Mountain was a Confederate attempt to regain the Union occupied Fort Milroy on top of Cheat Mountain, but they were unsuccessful and “lost” the battle.

Also, West Virginia’s Beartown State Park. is close to Hillsboro, the town closest to Cranberry Glades and not far from Lewisburg, all of which are adjacent to the Greenbrier River Trail that ends in Cass near Cheat Mountain and the Cheat River.

We already saw Beartown Rocks earlier in Clear Creek State Forest near Sigel in Pennsylvania, which is also close to the place where the 18-foot, or 5.5-meter,-tall skeleton was found in West Hickory, and where there is another rail-trail found at the Kennerdell Tract of the Clear Creek State Forest, as mentioned previously in this post.

Beartown State Park in West Virginia is located 7-miles, or 11-kilometers, southwest of Hillsboro, on the Eastern Summit of Droop Mountain, and right in the middle between Cranberry Glades and White Sulphur Springs.

There’s a couple of things to unpack here – one is Beartown State Park, and the other is the Civil War Battle of Droop Mountain.

First the rock formations at Beartown State Park in West Virginia are described as having “unusual rocky formations, massive boulders, overhanging cliffs, and deep crevices,” with the deep crevices having a regular criss-crossed pattern making them appear like the streets of a town.

This is very similar to how the Beartown Rocks back in Pennsylvania, were described, which was as ” a beautiful rock formation consisting of “house-sized” boulders, that are spread out far enough they have road-like spaces in-between them, making it feel like a “rock city.”

The other thing is that the Battle of Droop Mountain was said to be the largest battle, and last major battle, of the Civil War to take place in what was to become West Virginia.

It took place on November 6th of 1863.

This is what we are told.

Troops under Union Brigadier General William Averill defeated a smaller Confederate force under Brigadier General John Echols and Colonel William “Mudwall” Jackson.

While the Union succeeded driving Confederate forces from their locations on Droop Mountain.

Though Lewisburg was captured, the Confederate forces returned later, and the Union did not succeed in it objective of damaging the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad that played a strategic role in supplying the Confederate Army.

So it was actually considered a tactical victory for the two Confederate Commanders, since the Confederate Army was not eliminated in Lewisburg, and the railroad was not disturbed.

Interesting to note that the following year, on May 9th of 1864, Union troops under Brigadier General George Crook, successfully destroyed a large bridge across the New River on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad during the Battle of Cloyd’s Mountain in southwestern Virginia, several more bridges along the railroad line and the depot at Dublin, Virginia.

This “victory” was said to sever one of the Confederacy’s last vital lifelines and only rail connection to Tennessee.

Makes me wonder what was really going on during the Civil War!

More to come on this subject.

A few more things to take a look at back in Ohio.

Like the Newark Earthworks.

The Newark Earthworks in Ohio are roughly mid-way between Miamisburg, Ohio, and Cresap, West Virginia.

Consisting of three sections of earthworks – the Great Circle Earthworks; the Octagon and Circle Earthworks; and the Wright Earthworks – this complex contains the largest earthen enclosures in the world at about 3,000-acres, or 1,214-hectares.

Like we saw at the Great Serpent Mound, we see the same precise geometry and archeoastronomy in these earthworks in North America that we see in other countries, like Great Britain.

Yet, this fact didn’t stop the development of a golf course on the Octagon & Circle Earthworks in the early 20th-century.

These earthworks come into play on eleven of the holes of the Moundbuilders Country Club.

I found this newspaper clipping from the Newark Advocate in 1902 in my past research describing a giant skeleton that was found in Bowling Green in northwestern Ohio that was over 8-feet, or 2.5-meters, -tall.

Bowling Green in Ohio is in what is called the “Great Black Swamp,” which is located between Fort Wayne in Indiana and the southern shore of Lake Erie in northwest Ohio.

Interesting to note all the historic rail-lines that go through the same area as the Great Black Swamp in Northwest Ohio, circa that 1914 Ohio Public Utilities Commission Railroad map of Ohio, with Bowling Green where the giant skeleton was found circled in red.

The story that accompanies the existence of the railroads is that they were all constructed after the swamp land was drained.

…and that made the construction of the railroads possible.

But I continue to have serious doubts that railroads were constructed by the people who said they built them when they were said to have been built.

My belief falls along the line that they were already there and being made serviceable once again after the swampland was drained and/or reclaimed.

One more place I want to bring up in Ohio.

A viewer emailed me information that he wanted to bring to public awareness.

He owns property in Columbiana County in Ohio where there was a huge valley of the dead that was intentionally destroyed and covered-up in the 1950s to hide the ancient city.

He said they brought in ceramics to cover-up the real artifacts, but that some burials survived, and he finally figured out the corruption going on here! 

He also indicated that the Ohio government is permitting in Negley, Ohio, the destruction, and covering up with garbage, of an Advanced Ancient Sand Stone Slab City Site that is on top of a Glacial End Moraine with a Triangle Pyramid Mound carved from and attached to the End Moraine, with burials.

He said the Glacial End Moraine was mined for coal and clay by the Ancients and the sand stone slabs were used to build the ancient city on top, and that the government in the past 4 years has permitted the two World Heritage Mounds defaced for garbage and graveltipping fees and are permitting the destruction of the entire ancient city site!

I found the same thing taking place in Oklahoma City when I first started waking up to all of this.

There are three humongous mounds in Oklahoma City that serve as landfill sites, like this one in East Oklahoma City.

There are a couple more things I would like to point out about Columbiana County in Ohio before I move on from here.

One thing is it was the historical location of the Sandy and Beaver Canal.

This is what they tell us.

It was a 73-mile, or 117-kilometer, -long canal with ninety locks between the Ohio and Erie Canal in Bolivar, Ohio, to the Ohio River at Glasgow, Pennsylvania.

It was chartered in 1828, completed and 1848, and ceased operations only four-years after it was completed, in 1852.

Make sense?

Here are some of the ruins of Sandy and Beaver Canal.

And here’s a lock on the Sandy and Beaver Canal on the left compared to the lock of the Union Canal on the right that we saw back in Swatara State Park in Pennsylvania near Boxcar Rocks.

The other thing I want to mention is that East Palestine is in Columbiana County, the location where just a year ago, a train derailed and released hazardous chemicals, including vinyl chloride, a toxic chemical used in making plastics. into the environment.

The viewer wondered why here?

He asked could it have been to make sure the site does not meet World Heritage standards, or if the train was derailed at the best place to contaminate the Wild & Scenic river system and ancient site here? 

All of this adds a lot of questions to the list of wondering what’s really going on here, and why.

I am going to take a peak for a moment at the area around Pilot Mountain in North Carolina, which is southeast of here.

I looked through this same region a couple of months ago when I was doing the research for “Trekking the Serpent Ley.”

I started at the Bermuda Triangle, and ended at Lake Itasca in Minnesota, the headwaters of the Mississippi River, and went right through all these places.

This research was based on a ley-line identified by Peter Champoux, who has done incredible work on specific ley-lines in North America, and other continents as well, as seen on his website geometryofplace.com.

Peter identified Pilot Mountain as a central hub of leylines.

Pilot Mountain State Park is on the western end of what are called the “Sauratown Mountains,” named after the Saura, or Cheraw People, the Siouan-speaking indigenous people who lived here before the arrival of Europeans.

Pilot Mountain is described as one of the most distinctive natural features in the State of North Carolina.

It is seen here centered on U. S.. Route 52.

When I was looking up information about the Saura/Cheraw people, I found historical records at the Museum of Regional History in nearby Mount Airy mentioning a vanished tribe, and “remnants of their rich cultural heritage recorded in historical journals, still buried in the earth.”

Hmmm. Interesting description.  Still buried in the Earth? 

Interesting to note that a viewer left me a comment that before it was called Pilot Mountain, it was known as Mount Ararat.

I looked into it and found the historic Ararat River with rail infrastructure running beside it on the top left, and today’s Ararat River Greenway Trail where the railroad used to be on the bottom right.

The Ararat River Greenway Trail is at the eastern edge of the city of Mount Airy.

The only Mount Ararat I have ever heard of is in modern Turkey today, and historic Armenia in the past, the legendary landing place of Noah’s Ark.

What’s Mount Ararat doing in North Carolina?

And why was the name changed to Pilot Mountain?

Way back when I believed the narrative I probably would have accepted it as a being “named after” situation, but not anymore!

Mount “Airy” North Carolina was Andy Griffith’s home town, and the place Mayberry was based on in “The Andy Griffith Show.” 

I am going back to this part of North Carolina because when I was looking here previously, I found several examples of giant furniture on display.

First, in Thomasville, North Carolina, which is between Pilot Mountain and Asheboro on the Serpent Lei alignment, is the location of what is called “The Big Chair.

“The Big Chair” is said to be a large-scale replica of a Duncan Phyfe armchair that was built in 1950 at the Thomasville Furniture Industries.

The original “Big Chair” here was said to have been constructed from pine in 1922, but was torn down in 1936, we are told, because the pine had worn down over time.

The base the chair sits upon is made from Indiana Limestone.

We are told that Indiana Limestone was the limestone used in the construction of much of the nation’s monumental architecturect of the late 19th- and early 20th-centuries.

When I was looking for information on “The Big Chair,” I found “The Big Bureau” tourist attraction in neighboring High Point, the world’s largest chest- of-drawers.

It was said to have been built in 1926 as a “civic counter-punch” to Thomasville’s “Big Chair.”

The original “Big Bureau” was said to have been built here in 1926 as a building to serve as a Welcome Center for the High Point furniture industry.

But, alas, it was also the worse for wear over 70-years, so in 1996, a local designer and craftsman oversaw a complete makeover of it on top of the original bureau.

There are also a couple of giant chairs on display there at High Point College.

Another giant chair in my past research was in Anacostia, an historic neighborhood in Washington, DC, at the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue and V Street SE.

We are told it was built by the Bassett Furniture Company, and installed there by the Curtis Brothers Furniture Company in 1957.

But could these have been the furniture of actual giants, and not gimmicks as we have been led to believe?

Next, 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.

Aaron sent me this article 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 to 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.

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.

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?

Wouldn’t that be something!


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 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.

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.

West Hickory just happens to be located geographically only 14-miles, or 23-kilometers southeast of Titusville, and only 25-miles, or 41-kilometers, northwest of the previously discussed Beartown Rocks in the Clear Creek State Forest in Sigel.

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, Pennsylvania, 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, not surprisingly at this point, the Oil Creek State Park Trail runs on the bed of the first railroad line to reach Titusville, the Oil Creek Railroad.

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 by , 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, marketing company.

Oil was used in the form of kerosene was used 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, was the progenitor of the wealthy Rockefeller family.

He was considered to be the wealthiest American of all time, as seen in this ranking by CNN Business.

Rockefeller’s wealth soared as kerosene and gasoline grew in importance.

At his peak, he controlled 90% of all oil.

It certainly looks like 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.

There is no doubt in my mind that there was an energy-generating connection for the original civilization between the railroad, s-shaped river bends, hydro-electricity generation, waterfalls and gorges.

I researched these finding extensively in my blog post “Of Railroads and Waterfalls and Other Physical Infrastructure of the Earth’s Grid System.”

Other documented finds of the skeletal remains of giants included Erie and Aliquippa in the same region of Pennsylvania.

Aaron sent me this except from a book on the “History of Erie County.”

It makes reference to the following finds in “Chapter 5:”

“When the link of the Erie & Pittsburgh Railroad from the dock at Erie was in the process of construction, the laborers dug into a great mass of bones at the cross of the public road which runs by the rolling mill. From the promiscuous way in which they were thrown together, it is surmised that a terrible battle must of have taken place in the vicinity on some day so far distant that not even a tradition of the event has been preserved…” and that “…at a later date, when the roadway of the Philadelphia & Erie Road…was being widened, another deposit of bones was dug up and summarily disposed of as before. Among the skeletons was one of a giant….”

Aaron also sent me this article referencing Beaver Falls at the beginning about two skeletons of gigantic size that were found while workmen were “digging a ditch from the new shovel works to the river at Aliquippa.”

The area around Beaver Falls and Aliquippa were on the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad line.

While we are here in this part of Pennsylvania, this is a good place to mention that this is the historical land of the Susquehannock People.

The Susquehannock People were known for their height.

This was not a secret.

On the left is a size comparison between a Susquehannock skeleton compared with a European-sized skeleton.

Captain John Smith, who played an important role in the establishment of the first permanent English settlement in the Americas at Jamestown in May of 1607, published a map of the Colony of Virginia within a few years, which includes Susquehannock lands in what is Pennsylvania today, on which there is an illustration of a Susquehannock man and the caption at his feet reads “Sasquesahanougs are a gyant-like people, and thus atired.”

The Susquehannock People were said to have had a sharp population decline from disease and war by the 1670s. 

Their population continued to decline, and that by 1763 its remaining members in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, were massacred by a vigilante group known as the Paxton Boys, at which time they became extinct as a distinct cultural entity. 

The Paxton Boys were said to have been formed for the protection of Pennsylvania colonists during Pontiac’s War, a Native American Rebellion in the Great Lakes Region against English Rule that lasted from 1763 to 1766, but as such the Paxton Boys in effect had carte blanche to massacre members of all the Native American tribes of the region, including the Lenape and the Mohican.

Now I’d like to take a look at other places that look like “rock cities” that are outside of Pennsylvania.

First up, Giant City State Park in Makanda, Illinois.

Giant City State Park in the Shawnee National Forest, in Makanda, Illinois, is just south of Carbondale in Southern Illinois.

Carbondale is 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.

Just as an interesting side-note.

Located on an S-shaped bend in the Mississippi River, Vicksburg is roughly 400-miles, or 600-kilometers, south of this location at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. 

Vicksburg is perhaps best-known for the Vicksburg Campaign and Siege during the American Civil War, which took place between 1862 and 1863, and at the end of which the Union forces under General Ulysses S. Grant captured the Confederate stronghold of the port of Vicksburg on July 4th of 1863 and divided the Confederacy.

This is a wartime picture of the Shirley House in Vicksburg, circa 1863, with what is described as the camp of the 45th Illinois Infantry behind it.

But there are things going on in this photo that don’t make sense to me.

Why all the digging and entrances?

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is a0d40-shirley-house-1.jpg

What we are told is that during the Siege of Vicksburg, the people of the city dug caves into the sides of hills to get out of harm’s way from the hail of iron that was coming their way from Union forces.

A possible explanation…but is it plausible?

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is cave.jpg

The photo on the left was notated as Union soldiers on the lawn of the Warren County Courthouse in Vicksburg after the siege.

It was said to have been constructed between 1858 and 1860.

Interesting to note the contrast between the size of the soldiers and that of the courthouse.

Considered to be Vicksburg’s most historic structure, a museum is operated within the old courthouse today, pictured on the right.

The next place I am going to look at is the Heavener Runestone State Park, the best known tourist attraction in Heavener, located in east-central Oklahoma.

I mentioned the characters on the Heavener Runestone earlier in comparison with the Grave Creek Stone and Old South Arabian characters in southern Yemen.

The Heavener Runestone State Park is very close to the Arkansas State line, on the edge of the Ouachita Mountains in Oklahoma. 

The idea that Vikings came through here once-upon-a-time, and carved the runes on the surface of a huge stone is actively promoted, and there is a Viking festival held here twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall.

Heavener Runestone State Park was one of the places that I first started waking up to this ancient civilization in 2015 when I was living in Oklahoma City between 2013 and 2016, and I visited there several times during that time.

The first time I did not take note of my surroundings at the Runestone, and just saw the Runestone.

The second time I went there, I noticed that the Runestone was surrounded by an actual wall (which is referred to as a canyon there). 

The third time I went to Heavener, I took these photos further up from the Runestone  in a different location on the state park grounds, that have absolutely no attention drawn to them whatsoever.

The part of the park where you see these walls on the perimeter is more like an afterthought for a place to put picnic tables.

The Ouachita Mountains of southeastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas are named after the Washitaw Mu’urs of North America, one of the many empires of the worldwide ancient advanced Moorish Civilization.

But…who are the Washitaw?

The Washitaw Mu’urs, also known as the Ancient Ones and the Mound-Builders, with a history that goes back to Ancient Mu, also known as LeMuria, still exist to this day, and have been recognized by the UN as the oldest indigenous civilization on Earth.

Matriarchal and matrilineal, the Washitaw Mu’urs are ruled by an Empress to this day.

Empress Verdiacee pictured here passed away in April of 2014, and the reigning Empress of the Washitaw Nation is her granddaughter, Wendy Farica Washitaw.

But for some reason the general public has never heard of the Washitaw.

Washitaw Proper, the ancient Imperial seat, is in Northern Louisiana, in and around Monroe.

How come we’ve never heard anything about the Washitaw? 

Quite simply, they don’t want us to know.

The Watson Brake Mounds are a short distance south of Monroe.

Watson Brake is an inaccessible archeological site to public view on private property in Ouachita Parish near Monroe in Richwood, Louisiana, and dated to 5,400-years ago.

It is considered the oldest earthwork mound complex in North America.

Note the summer and winter solstice alignments depicted here in this diagram of Watson Brake

Stonehenge in Southern England on the right, believed to date similarly to about 5,100 years ago, has a similar earthwork enclosure to what is seen at Watson Brake in Louisiana encircling the big stones.

How is this even possible with the history we are taught?

Oh yes, and the illustration of Watson Brake on the left shows s-shaped river bends right next to it.

Another landscape feature it shares with Stonehenge, which has the s-shaped Salisbury Avon right next to it as well.

Another place I want to look at is Gornaya Shoria, on a different continent in Siberia.

Aaron sent me photos of Gornaya Shoria to bring it to my attention regarding its similarity to these rock formations we keep seeing in State Parks in North America.

Here is Boxcar Rocks in Pennsylvania on the left compared with Gornaya Shoria on the right.

Gornaya Shoria is found in Russia in southern Siberia, east of the Altay Mountains, and is known for its gigantic megalithic stone structures.

There are other similarities to share between Siberia and what we find in North America in Appalachia.

One is that Gornaya Shoria is that it is rich in ores, and in one of the largest coal-mining areas in Russia with one of the largest coal deposits in the world.

Another shared feature from what we have seen thus far in different places are the s-shaped river bends and confluences, like what we see in Kemerovo, the administrative center of the Kemerevo Oblast and the coal-mining capital of Russia. 

It is located at the confluence of the Iskitimka and Tom Rivers, and is situated in an S-shaped bend of the Tom River.

The Kuznetsk Railroad Bridge crosses the Tom River at Kemerovo.

The Western Siberia Railway branch of the Great Trans-Siberian Railroad passes through Kemerovo, which has two railroad stations.

There is even what we think of as classical Roman architecture here in Siberia, like the Kemerovo Regional Lunacharsky Drama Theater.

You know, Siberia, the land of freezing cold!

Like what you see in North America and other places, the indigenous Shor people of the Kemerevo Oblast are portrayed as hunter-gatherers and farmers…but who knew how to smelt-iron and make iron objects. 

Hence their name from the Russians who encountered them in 1607, the Kuznetsk Tatars, or “Blacksmith Tatars.”

So the indigenous Shors, where the massive megalithic site of Gornaya Shoria is located, were “Tatars,” or Tartars, of the historic Tartarian Empire, one of many ancient empires around the world that were in harmony and balance with each other, and not at war with each other as we have been taught to believe in our historical narrative.

So you have the indigenous peoples of Russia, like the Shor…

…and the Itelmen People of the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Russian Far East looking very much like Native American Tribal people.

Well, that similarity is accounted for in the official narrative with the migration story that the first humans to enter North America came from Siberia across the Bering Land Bridge at the end of the last Ice Age.

Right?

The story we learn about in school anyway.

So, what exactly happened to get us to our present belief systems?

How about we’ve been indoctrinated in to our present belief systems…

… which has been reinforced through programming in things like movies, television and music.

And Hollywood and the entertainment industry in general has been dominated by Freemasons.

Through such celebrities as John Wayne and Roy Rogers, who were Shriners, an organization comprised of 32nd- and 33rd-degree freemasons, the highest degrees of western freemasonry.

The name “Shriners” is derived from the “Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine.”

Also known as “Shriners International,” it is an American Freemasonic society that was established in 1870 and headquartered in Tampa, Florida.

I think it is accurate to say that the freemasonic Shriners are best known to the general public for their hospitals, circuses and parade antics in little cars.

Even comedian Red Skelton, musician Roy Clark and Mel Blanc, the voice of Bugs Bunny, were Shriners!

These are Prince Hall Shriners of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine.

Ancient Moorish Masonry has 360-degrees of initiation…327 more than western freemasonry.

Until Prince Hall found a way back in, Moorish Masons were denied admittance into Freemasonry.

Moorish Masonry is based on Moorish Science, which also includes the study of natural and spiritual laws, natal and judicial astrology, and zodiac masonry.

This is where the perfect alignments of infrastructure on earth with the sky comes from – the consummate alignment of earth with heaven that is seen around the world – like the lunar roll along the top of this recumbant stone in Crowthie Muir near Forres, Scotland.

Muir is pronounced “Moor.” Like in the Ouachita Mountains in North America, the memory of the people is retained.

Even though the spelling is different, the pronunciation is the same.

Like in the Ouachita Mountains in North America, the memory of the people is returned in the name.

According to George G. M. James in his 1954 book “Stolen Legacy,” the European Freemasons stole the legacy for themselves of the original Moorish Masons, the custodians of the Egyptian mysteries.

The Tartarian Empire in Asia was part of the worldwide ancient advanced Moorish Civilization, with its roots in Ancient Mu.

The history we have been given about the “Tatars” in Russia is that they were steppe nomads who were assimilated into the Mongol hordes that swept in on horseback under the leadership of the Mongolian Chieftain Genghis Khan, the founder and first Khan of the Mongol Empire, which he ruled from 1206 until his death in 1226.

Tartary was also hidden in name changes throughout the whole region.

Like the name of Manchuria, a region located in northeast China and part of the Russian Far East, came into use in the 1800s, instead of Tartary.

In the beautiful canal city of St. Petersburg on the Baltic Sea, which was said to have been founded by Czar Peter the Great in 1703, it is important to note the sphinxes there.

First, there are two sphinxes at either end of a quay on the Neva River in front of the Imperial Academy of Arts.

Here is what we are told about these two.

They were brought from Egypt to Russia during the height of Egyptomania in 1832.

The story goes that a Russian named Andrei Muravyov, about whom there is no information available to find, went on a pilgrimage to holy places in 1830.

He saw these two 3,500-year-old sphinxes for sale in Alexandria, Egypt.

This guy was so impressed, he contacted the Russian Ambassador with a proposal to buy them.

They ended up being acquired, and eventually made their way to St. Petersburg in 1834 and their present location the quay on in front of the Imperial Academy of Arts.

There are also sphinxes on St. Petersburg’s Egyptian Bridge on the Fontanka River.

The Egyptian Bridge was said to have been originally constructed between 1825 and 1826 by two civil engineers, also as a tribute to early 19th-century Egyptomania.

Besides sphinxes, it had Egyptian -style ornaments, obelisks and hieroglyphics, and the iron-work was elaborately gilded.

There’s a whole story about the Egyptian Bridge collapsing in 1905 when a cavalry squadron marched across it, and that the present bridge was rebuilt by 1955, incorporating features from the original bridge, but as I have already indicated, I have serious doubts about the veracity of what we are told about historical events and how things in our world came to be what we see.

I’d also like to bring the Atlantes of the Winter Hermitage in St. Petersburg to your attention.

The Winter Hermitage was the official palace of the House of Romanov from 1732 to 1917, and is a museum complex today.

The Palace pictured here, what we are told was the fourth “Winter Palace” since Peter the Great’s time, was said to have been constructed between 1754 and 1762.

What the historical narrative tells us that the Emperors constructed their palaces on a monumental scale to reflect the might and power of Imperial Russia.

The giant-sized statues of the Atlantes are located at a portico entrance of the Winter Hermitage. 

The ten Atlantes statues that hold up the Hermitage portico were said to have been sculpted from granite, and polished, by Alexander Terebeniev, and completed in 1852.

Old photos are all that remain of the living giants of the past, like those of Tartary…

…with the possible exception of seeing the giant gene of Humanity expressed in the basketball players of today.

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.

For another example of finding correlations between giants and civil war battles, Aaron sent me this article he found on the bones of giant indians near Antietam Creek 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 tall “Indian” skeletons that were found of seven-feet in height, 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 Peabody Institute 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 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!

George Peabody’s bank became the premier American banking house in London after he took up residence from Baltimore to London permanently in 1837, and went from being a wholesale dry-goods and cotton merchant, to a merchant-banker offering securities in American railroad and canal enterprises to British and European investors.

He started a banking business trading on his own account a year after he moved to London, and by 1851, he established the banking firm of “George Peabody & Company” to meet the increasing demand for securities issued by American railroads, and his company specialized in financing governments and large companies.

According to “The Secret Founding of America” book by Nicholas Hagger…

…George Peabody was the Freemasonic banker from whom money was transferred to the “southern insurrectionists,” and he hired the father of J. P. Morgan to handle the funds when they arrived in the United States.

It’s also important to note that the just mentioned Antietam Battlefield is quite close to Harper’s Ferry in West Virginia, also known for its Civil War history, as well as numerous historic forts, rivers, canals, railroads, and hydroelectric plants.

The original rail-lines and canals would have been providing power for the free-energy system, and the original architecture 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.

This is what I have come to believe has taken place here over the course of my research.

Firstly, 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.

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.

The Ames Shovel Shop was established in Easton, Massachusetts, in 1803.

It became nationally known for providing the shovels for the Union Pacific Railroad, which we are told opened the West.

It was said to have been the world’s largest supplier of shovels in the 19th-century.

We are told that the federal government operated a land-grant system between 1855 and 1871, where new railway companies in what we are told was the uninhabited west were given millions of acres they could sell or pledge to bondholders.

The co-owners of the Ames Shovel Shop at the time the land grant system was being operated by the Federal government were Ames Brothers.

Oliver Ames, Jr, (b. 1807 – d. 1877) was the President of the Union Pacific Railroad from when it met the Central Pacific Railroad in Utah for the completion of the first Transcontinental Railroad in North America in 1869.

The other brother, Oakes Ames, was a member of the U. S. Congress House of Representatives from Massachusetts 2nd District from 1863-1873.

He was credited by many as being the most important influence in building the Union Pacific portion of the first Transcontinental Railroad.

Why were shovels so important to the opening of the West and the expansion of infrastructure?

Again…what if…the tracks were already there and just needed to be dug out?

Oakes Ames was also noted for his involvement in the Credit-Mobilier Scandal of 1867, regarding the improper sale of stock of the railroad’s construction company.

He was formally censured by Congress in 1873 for this involvement, and he died in the same year.

Ten-years later, he was posthumously exonerated by the Massachusetts State Legislature on May 10th, 1883.

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.

So, 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 for human energy.

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…

…and vanished like the Saura people in North Carolina, from around where Pilot Mountain is located as we saw earlier in this post, with, as we are told, their rich cultural heritage recorded in historical journals still buried in the Earth.

I believe that these beings with a negative agenda devised a complicated plan to knock Humanity off the positive 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 a few examples from art and music.

First, from public art.

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.

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.

Then there is the “Crowned Head” in the labyrinth underneath Buda Castle in Budapest, Hungary, the historical castle and palace complex of the Hungarian Kings.

Buda Castle has one of the world’s remaining incline railways, also known as funiculars, still in operation.

The Buda Castle labyrinth under Buda Castle Hill is part of a huge underground system, complete with caves, thermal springs, basements and cellars.

Among other features, there are five separate labyrinths encompassing nine halls.

What is called the Crowned Head is in the Ottoman Alley of the labyrinth. 

I find this to be extremely odd.

To me, this giant head looks more like a petrified head with long-gone eyes, that is covered up to the nose and ears by mud, than an intentional work of art.

Now an example from music.

These are the lyrics from Rasputina’s song “Holocaust of Giants,” from their 2010 “Sister Kinderhook” album.

I found this when I was looking up general info under the search term “holocaust of giants.”

The lyrics of this song echo what we saw in the 19th-century accounts, when the existence of giants was acknowledged, but we don’t know what happened to them, but it was long ago, they were primitive, and they must have killed each other off.

The message is yes there were giants, but something unknown happened to them, and that’s really all we know, and that’s all you need to know.

The lyrics to a “Holocaust of Giants” can be summarized thus:

First verse of the song.

When I was a child in Ohio, a worker was digging a well on my dad’s land, and he found a massive bone.

Ever since I’ve known there was a race of giants in the northern hemisphere, that lived here 10,000-years ago.

It’s seems incredible, but its true, that a primeval brute was turned to stone but he wasn’t alone, there were hundreds of them.

Even giants think they’ll live forever.

Second verse of the song.

Everything turned to stone where a stream once flowed into the Ohio.

The Bible speaks of giants in our midst, but they killed each other in a meaningless war.

Thank goodness we don’t do that anymore!

The gravel-encrusted skull was found in a shoal, with double rows of sharp teeth and the jaw measured 25-feet, or almost-8-meters, but it had turned to stone.

The last verse of the song recaps the first two.

Just a few more things in closing.

Why do I think this happened relatively recently?

The simplest answer is that we are still using giant-sized infrastructure and architecture, every day all over the world.

How many generations of school-children have attended school in buildings like the still in use El Paso High School in Texas, that is extremely large and ornate, and looking like a Roman temple…

…or in schools that have been long torn-down, like the former Butcher Elementary School in Fairmont, West Virginia, in Marion County, with this photo of the school-kids and teacher taken in front of a giant door circa 1911.

Aaron attended grades 1 – 12 at Mannington High School in Mannington West Virginia, in Marion County, and he has shared vivid memories of incredibly tall windows in the building from his school years.

Another viewer sent me these photographs he took of a 6-toed large footprint that he came across in the Lime Peak Quarry near Eureka, Utah.

He estimated the length to be about 12″ to 14,” or 305-mm to 356-mm, long.

Echoes and imprints of giants in our midst, right beneath the surface of our awareness.

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.

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.

On the Trail of Giants, in Appalachia and Beyond – Theme 1: Robber Barons and Resetters

I am in the process of organizing my recent blot post “On the Trail of Giants – In Appalachia and Beyond,” into the four main themes that are interwoven throughout the original post that I want to bring forward separately for your consideration.

This is the first segment that is ready-to-go, with the featured theme of “Robber Barons and Resetters.”

I take a very close look at this region and its official history in this video, which among other things, was important to the settlement and industrialization of America, and also the wealthy and influential men behind it all.

The other three segments will feature the following main themes of the original video: ”Giants;” “The Energy Grid;” and “The Cataclysm.”

I have been researching aspects of what I am presenting in this post for years, but this subject came about as an in-depth research topic for me right now because a viewer, Aaron, suggested that I look into this particular topic. 

My starting point for the research in this post are places in Pennsylvania that Aaron sent me that he had identified as looking like megalithic stone structures

Like “Boxcar Rocks,” also known as the “Chinese Wall,” and the “High Rocks,” on Gold Mine Road in Cold Spring Township in Lebanon County.

We are told that they are a natural geologic formation a little over a half-mile, or .8-kilometers, long, and 60-feet, or 18-meters, high, described as a long line of stacked boulders that were likely left over from melting glacial deposits during the last Ice Age.

Yet here are images that Aaron sent me where the stone blocks of Boxcar Rocks look like they have been cut-and-shaped!

Cold Spring Township was incorporated in 1853, and In 2010, there was a population recorded of 52 people.

Most of the Township is part of “Pennsylvania State Game Lands #211,” who manage the lands for the purposes of hunting, trapping, and fishing.

The Appalachian Trail runs through “Pennsylvania State Game Lands #211” in Swatara State Park.

This is Lock #5 of the old Union Canal on the “Bear Hole Trail” of Swatara State Park.

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, and the rest of the Union Canal was said to have been closed to use in 1885 because it could not compete with the “efficiency of the railroad.”

The 82-mile, or 132-kilometer, -long Union Canal in southeastern Pennsylvania between Middletown, Pennsylvania to Reading, Pennsylvania, was said to have been built between 1792 and 1828, until it closed in 1885.

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.

The construction of the Union Canal was said to have started under the administration of President George Washington in 1792, and was touted as the “Golden Link” in providing an early transportation route for shipping anthracite coal and lumber to Philadelphia.

The “Main Line of Public Works,” of which the Union Canal was a part of, was passed by the Pennsylvania Legislature in 1826.

It funded various transportation systems, including canal, road, and railroad.

Next, Aaron drew my attention to the World’s End State Park is in Forksville, Pennsylvania, a small village of about 200 people in the Loyalsock State Forest.

World’s End State Park is situated around the s-shaped bends of Loyalsock Creek.

These locations are in Pennsylvania’s “Endless Mountains,” a region of northeastern Pennsylvania that are not considered true mountains, but a dissected plateau on the Allegheny Plateau.

We are told the “Endless Mountains” are comprised of sedimentary rocks of sandstone and shale that were part of a lowland that collected sediments from mountains to the southeast that eroded millions upon millions of years ago.

This region was historically inhabited by the Susquehannock, Iroquois, and Munsee-Lenape peoples.

Here are some pictures from the “World’s End State Park,” in the “Endless Mountains.”

Beartown Rocks can be found in Clear Creek State Forest near Sigel, Pennsylvania, in Jefferson County.

With a population a little bit larger than Forksville, Sigel has a small population of a little over 1,100 residents at last count.

This is what we are told.

Clear Creek State Forest was formed because of the depletion of old-growth forests by lumber and iron companies that took place in the mid-to-late-19th-century.

The forests were clear-cut, and wildfires caused by the sparks of passing steam kept the formation of new-growth forests from occurring.

Conservationists became alarmed that the forest would never re-grow, so they lobbied the state to purchase the land from the lumber and iron companies, which they were happy to sell because they had been depleted of resources.

The land that became the Clear Creek State Forest was purchased in 1919, at the end of the “lumber-era” that had swept through the Pennsylvania Mountains, by the end of which, Pennsylvania was stripped of its old-growth forests.

The entire park was established on three tracts of land in five Pennsylvania counties – Jefferson, Venango, Forest, Mercer, and Clarion.

Beartown Rocks in the part of the park in Jefferson County near Sigel are described as a beautiful rock formation consisting of “house-sized” boulders, that are spread out far enough they have road-like spaces in-between them, making it feel like a “rock city.”

In the section of the park in Venango County, I found references to an historic railroad that ran along-side the curvy Allegheny River in the Kennerdale Tract of the Clear Creek State Park in Venango County that is now part of the hiking trail system here.

The Clear Creek State Park is very close to West Hickory, Pennsylvania.

As a matter of fact, these other places I am looking at are close to West Hickory too!

More on this as we go.

West Hickory is where the tallest recorded skeleton in North America was found, at 18-feet, 5.5-meters.

Aaron also directed my attention to Panther Rocks in Moshannon State Forest, with its main offices in Penfield, Pennsylvania in Clearfield County’s Huston Township.

In the 2020 census, the population of Huston Township as a whole was recorded as a little under 1,300 people.

At one time in Penfield’s history, it was a company town for the logging and coal mining industries in what was a local resource extraction economy, and the railroad came through here at one time.

Immigrants from Europe settled in the area to work the deep mines scattered through the Benzette Valley here.

There’s not much left to speak of in Penfield, but there are recreational activities nearby at Moshannon State Forest, Bilger’s Rocks Park, Black Moshannon State Park, and Parker Dam State Park.

We find the same story at Moshannon State Forest that we found at Clear Creek State Forest – it was formed as a direct result of the depletion of the forests of Pennsylvania that happened in the mid-to-late 19th-century, when lumber and iron companies clear-cut the forests and sparks from passing steam-locomotives caused wildfires from the remnants of the forest-lands, preventing the growth of new forests.

The land that became Moshannon State Forest was purchased by the State in 1898.

The old-growth forest was gone by 1921, with a second-growth forest replacing it since then.

Interesting to note that a tornado in 1985 tore through the forest and destroyed an estimated 88,000 trees.

Panther Rocks at Moshannon State Forest are described as a small rock city made of several large sandstone blocks, complete with streets, overhangs, channels, crevices and a short tunnel

They were said to have formed more than 300-million-years ago in the by sediments deposited in streams and rivers.

The nearby Bilger’s Rocks in Clearfield County’s Bloom Township near the town of Grampian, and is larger stone-city than what is found at Panther Rocks.

The creation of Bilger’s Rocks was also said to have taken place more than 300-million-years ago, formed by sediments deposited in streams and rivers.

Bilger’s Rocks has many examples of what appears to be toolmarks, and linear patterns that look like they were carved or molded, and has the same rock-city-like qualities of these other places we have been looking at tucked away in the Pennsylvania Park system.

Parker Dam State Park is surrounded by the Moshannon State Forest.

The Park was said to have been constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression.

The original dam here was said to have been constructed by William Parker as a splash dam for the movement of lumber after he leased lumbering rights at some point after lumber harvesting began here in 1794, and the CCC was said to have built the current dam there to replace it as part of the improvements the otherwise unemployed, unskilled young men made when they came to work on the park.

There was much logging going on from this region, so the “Susquehanna Boom” was said to have been built in the 1850s across the West Susquehanna River at Williamsport, a system of cribs and chained logs designed to catch and hold floating timber until it could be processed, and logging railroads built to transport the lumber, to the tune of 45-cars per day until logging ended here in 1911, when all the trees were gone.

The lumbermen left a barren landscape that was devastated by fires, flooding and erosion more many years, until the CCC came in the 1930s and started replanting trees after the State of Pennsylvania bought the deforested land from the Central Pennsylvania Lumber Company in 1930.

The Civilian Conservation Corps CCC operated from 1933 to 1942 in the U.S. for unemployed, unmarried men to do manual labor related to the conservation and development of natural resources in rural lands owned by federal, state, and local governments.

Originally for young men ages 18–25, it was eventually expanded to ages 17–28. 

In the nine-years of its operation, the CCC employed 3,000,000 young men.

Black Moshannon State Park is largely surrounded by the Moshannon State Forest.

It is located in Rush Township in Centre County, and surrounds a lake formed by another dam, also said to have been constructed by the CCC, on Black Moshannon Creek at the site of a former mill-pond dam.

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.

Black Moshannon State Park is is 9-miles, or 15-kilometers east of Phillipsburg on Pennsylvania Route 504.

Philipsburg Borough was founded in 1797 by one Henry Phillips, who purchased 350,000 acres on the western side of the Allegheny Mountains for $173,000, and the proceeded to auction the land off on the streets of Philadelphia for two-cents per acre.

The region developed around the lumber and coal-mining industries.

The “Snowshoe Rails to Trails” is near Philipsburg and Black Moshannon, and is seen here in the top-left-hand corner, right next to the Moshannon River where the arrows are pointing.

The “Snowshoe Rails-to-Trails” has 19-miles, or 31-kilometers, of abandoned railroad bed along 37-miles, or 60-kilometers, of legalized Snowshoe Township Roads for ATVS/UTVs.

We are told that it was originally the route of the Beech Creek Railroad between the South Jersey Shore and Mahaffey Borough, Pennsylvania, and part of the Susquehanna and South Western Railroad, and used for coal mining services in the region starting in 1884.

This railroad ran near State College, home of Penn State University, and not far from Altoona, Pennsylvania.

More on State College and Altoona to come in this post.

Mahaffey Borough, first incorporated in 1841, was located on U. S. Route 219, at the junction of the New York Central Railroad and the Hudson River Railroad.

The arrows point to where railroad tracks ran along s-shaped river-bends. on this section of Route 219 going through Mahaffey Borough.

This railroad project in Pennsylvania was said to have been backed and financed by William H. Vanderbilt, President of the New York Central Railroad.

The New York Central Railroad was said to have begun operating in 1853 with the consolidation of earlier independent companies running between Albany and Buffalo. This graphic depicts the New York Central rail system as of 1918.

We are told extensive trackage existed in the states of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Massachusetts, and West Virginia, plus additional trackage in Ontario and Quebec, and by 1925 operated 26,395-miles, or 42,479-kilometers, of track.

William H. Vanderbilt had developed a plan to facilitate railroad access to enter the “Clearfield Coalfield,” a large, juicy coal-mining area in Clearfield County, which would have been otherwise exclusively accessed by the Pennsylvania Railroad.

It was said to have been constructed starting at the end of 1882 to high-standards, including extensive curvature, bridges, and a tunnel, and became operational in November of 1884.

Eventually, this railroad line provided passenger service and used as such until 1990.

In 1994, the right-of-way was acquired by the Headwaters Charitable Trust for the “Snowshoe Rail-to-Trail Project” and the rail went away.

Like Black Moshannon State Park, the Cranberry Glades Botanical Area in West Virgina is an area of boreal bogs located near US Route 219.

This is the same U. S. Route 219 we saw in connection with Mahaffey Borough, located on U. S. Route 219 at the junction of the New York Central Railroad and the Hudson River Railroad.

The Cranberry Glades Botanical Area is located close to both the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve, and White Sulphur Springs.

First, New River Gorge National Park and Preserve.

The New River Gorge is one of the few places that I know of that still has a railroad operating right along beside the s-shaped New River.

The Amtrak Cardinal still runs through the New River Gorge 3 days/week – on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Besides the railroad line that runs along the New River through the New River Gorge in West Virginia, there are things found in the gorge like historic coal mines, waterfalls, and hydro projects.

We are told that after the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway opened up this rugged wilderness in 1873, coal was carried out of the New River Gorge to the ports in Virginia and to cities in the Midwest.

As a result, by 1905, thirteen cities sprang up between Fayette and Thurmond, which was 15-miles, or 24-kilometers, upstream, and provided the West Virginia coal that contributed greatly to the industrialization of the United States until the 1950s.

After the coal seams were exhausted and mines closed, these company towns like Fayette were for the most part completely abandoned, with the possible exception of Thurmond which had a very small population of 5 in 2010.

Aaron sent me information about the Red Ash and Rush Run Coke Ovens near Thurmond.

The Rush Run Coke Ovens were said to belong to the Rush Run Mining Company, and there were believed to have been up to 180 of them at this location, which borders the railroad tracks.

Coke ovens are described as being made of brick, or some kind of heat-resistant material, and used to separate the coal-gas, coal-water, and tar.

Coke is formed when the coal-gas and coal-water fuse together, and is used primarily in steel-production.

Rush Run was established as a coal-mining community in 1889 when the post office first opened, and boomed until the post office closed in 1939.

The mine there continued to operate until it was closed in the 1940s.

The nearby Red Ash coal camp was developed by the Red Ash Coal and Coke Company in 1891, for a high-quality coal that burned with a “fine red ash.”

There were estimated to be 80 coke ovens here at one time, and the mine was exhausted by the 1950s.

So, the typical pattern seen throughout this whole region known as Appalachia is communities and railroads coming on-line only for a short-time in order to extract resources until they are exhausted, and then they are gone.

We’ve seen multiple examples of this pattern, and we will continue to see it throughout this video.

Also, there’s a service tunnel at the location of the Red Ash Coke Ovens.

The fine brick-work found at the Red Ash facilities reminds me of the fine brickwork I have seen in tunnels all over the place, including what is called the Great Tunnel of the C & O Canal in Allegheny County, Maryland, and part of the Paw Paw Bends section of the Potomac River as it is winding its way through West Virginia and Maryland.

Built using more than 6,000,000-bricks, this tunnel has been described as the “greatest engineering marvel along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park.”

The Paw Paw Tunnel was said to have been built between 1836 and 1850 for the C & O Canal to by-pass the bends in the Potomac River near Paw Paw, West Virginia, with no work having been done on it between 1841 and 1847 due to construction and financial problems.

The C & O Canal closed to canal boats in 1924.

Canals, like the railroads, were found running next to rivers, and the Potomac River is a good example of this, like here where the canal and the railroad run side-by-side at Point of Rocks, Maryland.

We are told that the C & O Canal, and other canals, were made obsolete because the railroad was so much more efficient and canals couldn’t compete with them.

Such as the Wabash and Erie Canal, which was said to have been built during roughly the same time period as the C & O Canal.

Canals like the C & O Canal subsequently became a popular hiking, biking and canoeing venue, as we are seeing with the Rails that quietly became trails when no one was paying attention.

It is interesting to note that at one time in its history, Thurmond was a prosperous railroad town that was the largest, revenue-generating stop on the C & O Railroad, where passenger and coal trains rolled through here throughout the day.

Today, a visitor center for the National Park Service operates here in the old railroad depot.

CSX Transportation, formerly the C & O Railroad, has freight transportation operations in and through historic Thurmond, and the Amtrak Cardinal passenger route goes through here, the second-least-used Amtrak station in the nation.

So whereas the railroad that runs alongside the New River in the New River Gorge is still operational for freight and passenger service, the railroad that used to run beside the New River in Galax, Virginia, to the southwest of the New River Gorge, was abandoned in 1985, and the former railroad right-of-way became the New River Rail Trail.

Starting at the North Bend State Park in Cairo, West Virginia, northwest of Cranberry Glades and northeast of the New River Gorge, there is the 72-mile, or 116-kilometer, – long hiking corridor known as the “North Bend Rail Trail.”

What is now the North Bend Trail was at one time one of the most distinguished railroad lines in United States History.

During its prime, it hosted the B & O Railroad’s premiere passenger train, the National Limited, between New York City and St. Louis, Missouri.

Eventually the rail-line that was part of the North Bend Rail Trail became freight-only, and the line was abandoned and dismantled in 1988. 

The trail, completed between 1991 and 1996, has beautiful, red-brick tunnels along the way.

Now I am going to take a look at White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, which is roughly 24-miles, or 39-kilometers, to the southeast of the bogs at Cranberry Glades.

White Sulphur Springs was said to have been settled in 1750, and developed as a health spa in the 1770s, as the story goes after a woman was healed of rheumatism after bathing in the springs, and calls itself “America’s Resort since 1778.”

The springs are on the grounds of the Greenbrier Hotel, which was said to have been built by the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad Company in 1913.

Even today, the same Amtrak Cardinal Line that runs through the New River Gorge has a station at White Sulphur Springs.

The Greenbrier Resort was at one time a Presidential getaway, with President Eisenhower the last President in office to have stayed there, with 27 presidents having stayed at the hotel before him.

The Presidents’ Cottage is a museum today.

A top-secret, super-sized underground bunker was said to have been constructed there in the 1950s during the Eisenhower Administration to serve as a relocation point for the U. S. Congress in the event of a nuclear war, but when the secret came out in 1992 in a newspaper article, it was decommissioned.

It had features like:

–A 25-ton blast door that opened with only 50-lbs of pressure

–It’s own power plant with purification equipment, and the capacity for 75,000-gallons of water storage, and 42,000-gallons of diesel fuel

–Every kind of medical care one would ever need

–Sleeping, meeting, and eating facilities for over 1,000 people.

It was kept stocked with supplies for thirty-years but never used as an emergency location.

In 1995, the government ended the lease agreement with the Greenbrier, and it was opened to the public for tours, which it offers to this day.

Today’s Amtrak Cardinal Line runs between New York and Chicago, by way of Washington, DC; through White Sulphur Springs, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis, on its meandering route.

The Amtrak Cardinal Line was once a part of, among others, the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway.

It was formed in 1869 from several smaller Virginia Railroads under the guidance of Collis P. Huntington, in order to connect the coal reserves of West Virginia with the new coal piers that were built in Hampton Roads and Newport News, Virginia, and first opened in 1873, forging a rail link to places like Chicago in the Midwest.

The city of Huntington in West Virginia was named for him.

Huntington was said to be one of the first American cities to have electric streetcars, with service believed to have started around the end of 1888, and ran until the 1920s, during which time the Ohio Valley Electric Railway had organized a gas-powered bus service, which by November 1937 had completely replaced all of Huntington’s former electric streetcar lines.

Collis P. Huntington was one of the Big Four of western railroading, along with Leland Stanford, Mark Hopkins and Charles Crocker.

Then in 1888, Huntington lost control of the railroad to J. P. Morgan, an American financier and investment banker who dominated corporate finance on Wall Street during the Gilded Age between 1877 and 1900, and William K. Vanderbilt, who managed the Vanderbilt family’s railroad investments.

William K. Vanderbilt was was the grandson of Cornelius Vanderbilt, one of the richest Americans in history, who was an American magnate, and who built his family’s fortune in shipping and railroads.

The process continued on for the C & O Railroad to consolidate and merge railroads, and, for example, to gain access to productive coal fields throughout the region, through the 1920s.

The Greenbrier River Trail is located between the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs and Lewisburg on Interstate 64, and was also a former railroad bed and right-of-way.

Lewisburg is located near the junction of Routes 219 and and Interstate 64, just to the south of Cranberry Glades

What is now the Greenbrier River Trail was gifted to the State of West Virginia in the late 1970s and opened as a recreational, multi-use trail in 1980.

It runs between North Caldwell, which is 3-miles, or 5-kilometers, east of Lewisburg on U. S. Route 60/Interstate 64,and Cass in Eastern West Virginia.

Cass, West Virginia, was founded as a company town in 1901 for the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company, and named for Joseph Kerr Cass, the Vice-President and co-founder of the pulp and paper company.

Interestingly, this information on Joseph Kerr Cass on the “My Genealogy Hound” website from the “History of Allegheny County,” published in 1889, shows the following.

His great-grandfather was Revolutionary War Major Jonathan Cass, and Jonathan Cass was the father of Lewis Cass, who represents the State of Michigan in the National Statuary Hall at the U. S. Capitol.

Lewis Cass, among other things, was President Andrew Jackson’s Secretary of War from 1831 to 1836.

As President Jackson’s Secretary of War, Lewis Cass was central in implementing the Indian Removal policy of the Jackson administration after Congress passed the Indian Removal Act in 1830.

The Indian Removal Act was directed specifically at the Five Civilized Tribes of the Southeastern United States – the Cherokee, Creeks, Seminole, Chickasaw and Choctaw – though it also affected tribes in Ohio, Illinois and other areas east of the Mississippi River.

Most were forced to Indian Territory in present-day Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska.

Lewis Cass was the grandfather of Lewis Cass Ledyard, a New York City lawyer, personal counsel to financier J. P. Morgan, and a President of the New York Bar Association.

Most of the town named for Joseph K. Cass, and its buildings, were bought by the State of West Virginia in 1961 after the pulp and paper mill closed in 1960, and it became the Cass Scenic Railroad State Park.

The Cass Scenic Railroad State Park continues to offer trips to Whittaker Station; the ghost town of Spruce; and Bald Knob, the highest point of the Back Allegheny Mountain in Pocahontas County.

The logs for the pulp mill in Cass came from the nearby Cheat Mountain, which were brought by rail to the mill for processing until the mills closure.

Cheat Mountain, which is next to the Back Allegheny Mountain, was once the home of the largest red spruce forest south of Maine.

The Cheat River runs along this section of West Virginia between the state’s border with both Pennsylvania and Maryland.

Aaron sent me this reference to giant skeletons having been uncovered in the location of the Cheat River.

We are told that during the American Civil War, Cheat Mountain was of strategic importance during the early part of the Operations in West Virginia Campaign.

The Battle of Cheat Mountain, also known as the Battle of Cheat Summit Fort, took place between September 12th to 15th of 1861, and was the first battle that General Robert E. Lee led troops into combat.

The Battle of Cheat Mountain was a Confederate attempt to regain the Union occupied Fort Milroy on top of Cheat Mountain, but they were unsuccessful and “lost” the battle.

Aaron also provided me with recorded references to giant skeletons that were found in Marion County, that is tucked in-between West Virginia’s borders with Ohio to the West; Pennsylvania to the North; and Maryland to the East.

Fairmont is the seat of Marion County.

The location of “Pricketts Fort” is a short distance north of Fairmont.

Pricketts Fort State Park is at the confluence of the Monongahela and Pricketts Creek.

What the historical narrative tells us is that it is was a reconstructed “refuge fort,” built on Jacob Pricketts’ homestead, to defend local settlers from hostile indian raids, and these days commemorates life on the Virginia frontier in the late 18th-century.

A couple of interesting things to note about the Picketts Fort location.

First is that the site of the fort is located on a river-bend, right next to an old railroad bridge that is now part of the Marion County Rail-Trail, and there are railroad tracks right next to the Monongahela River, still in use by the Fairmont Subdivision, a railroad from Grafton to Rivesville that is owned and operated by CSX Transportation on what used to be part of the B & O Railroad Mainline.

The Marion County Rail Trail runs for 2.5-miles, or 4-kilometers, from the Pricketts Fort State Park, along Pricketts Creek through rural Marion County, to Fairmont, including a long, lighted tunnel, said to have been built in 1914 by the Monongahela Railroad.

Fairmont is located just above the confluence of where the West Fork and Tygart Valley Rivers meet to form the Monongahela River.

I couldn’t help but notice all the s-shaped riverbends going on around here!

I searched for more information on Fairmont’s railroad history and this is what I found.

First, the Fairmont & Clarksburg Electric Railroad was an inter-urban electric streetcar system that served the Fairmont and Clarksburg areas, linked by a main-line, and several other communities and coal camps, starting in 1901.

Again, we are told that now the electric streetcar services just couldn’t compete with the advent of automobiles, and this interurban streetcar system was abandoned by 1947, when the system went entirely to bus services.

In time, the Fairmont & Clarksburg Electric Railroad was managed by the larger West Penn Railway system of electric streetcars that was headquartered in Connellsville, Pennsylvania, and was said to be part of the regions power-generation utility.

It was operational from 1904 to 1952.

Next, the Fairmont, Morgantown & Pittsburgh Railroad starting in 1894 once connected Fairmont to Uniontown in Pennsylvania, a distance of 56-miles, or 17-kilometers.

We are told the importance of this line waned as the coal mines along the route closed, and in 1953, passenger service ended.

By 1991, most of the line between Fairmont and Uniontown was abandoned, with the exception of two short stretches that are still in use today.

This map of the Industrial Heartland Trails Coalition’s Parkersburg to Pittsburgh (P2P) Corridor shows its plan to have a fully-connected recreational rail-to-trail between the two cities, with the proposed segments overlaid in red.

I have put a blue box around the Fairmont to Uniontown segment of the former railroad line, and a red box around the section between the West Fork River Trail, which starts just outside of Fairmont, and goes to Parkersburg, and includes the previously mentioned North Bend Rail- Trail.

Before I leave West Virginia, and head back up to Pennsylvania, there’s a few more things I would like to mention about Cranberry Glades.

Hillsboro, the town closest to Cranberry Glades, is just 30-miles, or 49-kilometers, up U. S. Route 219 from Lewisburg.

So Cranberry Glades is located near U. S. Route 219; it is very close to the Greenbrier River Trail, that ends in Cass and near Cheat Mountain; and is also very close to West Virginia’s Beartown State Park.

We already saw another Beartown Rocks earlier in Clear Creek State Forest near Sigel, Pennsylvania.

Beartown State Park in West Virginia is located 7-miles, or 11-kilometers, southwest of Hillsboro, on the Eastern Summit of Droop Mountain, and right in the middle between Cranberry Glades and White Sulphur Springs.

There’s a couple of things to unpack here – one is Beartown State Park, and the other is the Civil War Battle of Droop Mountain.

First the rock formations at Beartown State Park in West Virginia are described as having “unusual rocky formations, massive boulders, overhanging cliffs, and deep crevices,” with the deep crevices having a regular criss-crossed pattern making them appear like the streets of a town.

This is very similar to how the Beartown Rocks back in Pennsylvania, were described, which was as ” a beautiful rock formation consisting of “house-sized” boulders, that are spread out far enough they have road-like spaces in-between them, making it feel like a “rock city.”

The Battle of Droop Mountain was said to be the largest battle, and last major battle, of the Civil War to take place in what was to become West Virginia.

It took place on November 6th of 1863.

This is what we are told.

Troops under Union Brigadier General William Averill defeated a smaller Confederate force under Brigadier General John Echols and Colonel William “Mudwall” Jackson, though it was actually considered a tactical victory for the two Confederate Commanders, since the Confederate Army was not eliminated in Lewisburg, and the railroad was not disturbed.

Interesting to note that the following year, on May 9th of 1864, Union troops under Brigadier General George Crook, successfully destroyed a large bridge across the New River on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad during the Battle of Cloyd’s Mountain in southwestern Virginia, several more bridges along the railroad line and the depot at Dublin, Virginia.

This “victory” was said to sever one of the Confederacy’s last vital lifelines and only rail connection to Tennessee.

Now, I’m going to return to the area around the bog of Black Moshannon State Park and take another look there for the purposes of comparison to the area around Cranberry Glades.

Black Moshannon State park is 22-miles, or 35-kilometers, from State College, Pennsylvania, which is only a difference of 2-miles, or 4-kilometers, of the distance between the bogs at Cranberry Glades and the community of White Sulphur Springs, with its luxurious and exclusive Greenbrier Resort.

State College, Pennsylvania, is the home of Penn State University.

It is connected to Phillipsburg and Black Moshannon State Park via Pennsylvania U. S. Route 322.

Penn State was founded in 1855 as the Farmers’ High School of Pennsylvania, and in 1863, it became the state’s first land-grant university.

State College is surrounded by many different highway routes and by s-shaped water courses, like Spring Creek, Buffalo Run, and Slab Cabin Run.

First a word about the United States Numbered Highway System, also known as the Federal Highway System, called an “integrated network of roads and highways numbered within a nationwide grid across the contiguous United States,” and first approved in 1926.

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, is also seen with 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.

The third major Civil War fire was the April 2nd of 1865 Burning of Richmond, the capital of Virginia, and of the Confederate States of America.

Also known as the “Evacuation Fire,” and the “Fall of Richmond,” Richmond was set on fire on the night of April 2nd 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 nearby Petersburg.

This is a lithograph depicting it by Currier & Ives.

The huge classical temple-like building on the left was the Exchange Bank of Richmond, and said to have been damaged by the fire, and on the right is another view of Richmond and its State Capitol Building in the middle of the picture, as seen from above the Canal Basin in Richmond after the 1865 fire.

LIke Lewis Cass, the enforcer of the Indian Removal Act, the former President of the Confederacy and the man who ordered the burning of Richmond, Jefferson Davis, is also in the National Statuary Hall, representing the State of Mississippi.

In our historical narrative, the Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Grant days later, on April 9th of 1865, after his final defeat at the Battle of Appomattox Court House that same day.

There’s a very similar configuration between Petersburg Rail-lines of the Civil War-era, and the highways around Richmond and Petersburg today.

Back to State College in Pennsylvania.

As I mentioned previously, besides many highway routes, State College is also surrounded by s-shaped water courses, like Spring Creek, Buffalo Run, and Slab Cabin Run.

And, yes, there is a railroad history to be found in the area around State College too.

Whereas West Virginia was mined exhaustively for its coal, this part of Pennsylvania came to be mined exhaustively for its iron ore.

Andrew Carnegie had begun mining iron ore in Scotia in 1881 for his steel mills in Pittsburgh, and by 1887, we are told that a new era of iron-making in the Nittany Valley began, with the opening of the Nittany and Bellefonte Furnaces along Buffalo Run near its junction with Spring Creek, and three railroads that were said to have been constructed to haul the iron ore to them – the Bellefonte Central (BFC), Central Railroad (CRR) and Nittany Valley Railroad (NV).

By 1911 both of these furnaces had been shut-down.

By 1950, all the railroads that had once served the area, either for the iron-related industry or passenger service, including the Pennsylvania Railroad lines, circled in blue, were no longer in service.

The only historic rail here that became operational again was a portion of the Bellefonte Central after the Bellefonte Historical Railroad was organized as an excursion line in 1985, and occasionally offers runs as a tourist attraction.

Now I am going to take a look at Altoona in Pennsylvania just down the road from State College.

Altoona is only 43-miles, or 70-kilometers southwest of State College.

Altoona was said to have been established by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1849.

Aaron drew my attention to Altoona with information he sent me about the nearby “Horseshoe Curve.”

The “Horseshoe Curve” is a three-track railroad curve that is described as one of the world’s most incredible engineering feats, and was accomplished by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1854.

It was said to have replaced the original Allegheny Portage Railroad, which was said to be the first railroad constructed through the Allegheny Mountains in 1834, and connected to the Pennsylvania Canal, all of which was said to have been built as part of the transportation by the “Main Line of Public Works” that was mentioned at the beginning of this post after it was passed by the Pennsylvania Legislature in 1826.

Considered a technological marvel in its day and critical to opening the way to commerce and settlement past the Appalachian Mountains, the original Allegheny Portage Railroad consisted of a series of five inclines on either side of the ridge-line to Cresson Summit alongside what is called the Little Conemaugh River to where it meets the Conemaugh River at Johnstown.

Interesting things to note that along the historic route of the Allegheny Portage Railroad are as follows:

After leaving the main canal location of Hollidaysburg and going up towards Cresson Summit, we first come to the lopsided-looking “Skew Arch Bridge,” called the “only purposefully built bridge on the Portage” and crossed over the railway.

It was said to have been built in the 1830s as part of the early road system.

Today, the “Skew Arch Bridge” is preserved in the middle of “Old U. S. Route 22” and the new “U. S. Route 22.”

U. S. Route 22 is an East-West Numbered Highway from 1926 that runs from Cincinnati in Ohio to Newark in New Jersey, and passes through West Virginia and Pennsylvania on the way.

The next landmark n the Allegheny Portage Railroad’s journey through the Allegheny Mountains is the summit at Cresson, a borough (which in Pennsylvania is a municipal entity like a town or small city) on top of the Eastern Continental Divide. 

US Route 22 is one of the highways that accesses Cresson.

Back in the industrial heyday of the late 19th-century and early 20th-century, there were lumber, coal and coke-yard industries located here.

Wealthy Pittsburgh businessmen like Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick and Charles Schwab, all connected to each other through the steel industry, had summer residences here, like Carnegie’s Braemar Cottage in Cresson.

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.

I couldn’t find a picture of Andrew Carnegie as a freemason, but I could find a reference to him being a “famous freemason” on a masonic website.

His first steel mill was operational by 1874, the Edgar Thomson Steel Works, named after the President of the Pennsylvania Railroad, with his partners, one of whom was Henry Clay Frick, the owner of a coke manufacturing company, a product used in making steel.

They subsequently acquired other steel mills, and in 1892, the Carnegie Steel Company was formed, of which Henry Clay Frick became chairman. and in 1897, Charles M. Schwab, who had gotten his start as an engineer at the Edgar Thomson Steel Works, became President of the Carnegie Steel Company in 1897.

In 1901, Charles M. Schwab helped negotiate the sale of Carnegie Steel with a merger involving it with Elbert Gary’s Federal Steel Company, and William Henry Moore’s National Steel Company to a group of New York City Financiers led by J. P. Morgan.

After the sale of Carnegie Steel, Andrew Carnegie surpassed John D. Rockefeller as the richest American at the time, and Charles M. Schwab became the first President of the newly minted U. S. Steel Company.

Now back to Cresson.

Cresson was known for its therapeutic mineral springs, and we are told that in 1881, the Pennsylvania Railroad opened the Mountain House Resort Hotel.

Carnegie’s Braemar Cottage is still standing on the 400-acre property, which had 32-lots for private-cottages.

Alas for the Mountain House Resort Hotel and Cresson Springs, just like canals falling by the wayside for railroads, and railroads the same for automobiles, America’s appetite for “mountain” or “inland” resorts began to decline in favor of beach resorts.

The Mountain House Resort Hotel had ceased operations by the early 1900s, and in 1916, it was completely razed to the ground, and the original hotel building was gone.

Interesting to note, that unlike the luxurious Mountain House Resort Hotel that got razed to the ground, the likewise spacious building of the former Cresson Sanitorium and Prison is still-standing, albeit in pretty rough shape these days!

This is what we are told.

Cresson Sanitorium was built on land that was donated by Andrew Carnegie in 1910, and first opened in 1913 in order to provide hospital and long-term care facilities for individuals and families with tuberculosis and other health conditions.

In 1956, it was incorporated into the Lawrence F. Flick State Hospital for people with mental illness.

In 1983, it was converted to a State Correctional Facility, and operated as such for the next 30-years, until its final closure in 2013.

The building is located on Old Route 22.

After the former Allegheny Portage Railroad left the summit at Cresson, on its downward descent in elevation into Johnstown, along the Little Conemaugh River, we come to South Fork of the Little Conemaugh River and what was the former location of the South Fork Dam.

The famous Johnstown Flood on May 31st of 1889, the worst flood in the United States in the 19th-century, was caused by the catastrophic failure of the South Fork Dam, and was the second major disaster the American Red Cross responded to, after the Michigan Thumb Fire, which started on September 5th of 1881, with hurricane-force winds and hot and dry conditions this was less than four months after the establishment of the American Red Cross in May of 1881.

John D. Rockefeller was amongst several that donated to create a national headquarters for the American Red Cross near the White House in Washington, DC, said to have been built between 1915 and 1917.

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, Henry Clay Frick, Andrew Mellon, Philander Knox, John Leishman, 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.

Interesting to note that I did find this reference on the website of the Pleasant Valley Masonic Center in Connellsville, Pennsylvania, that Henry Clay Frick was a freemason in its King Solomon’s Lodge #346 from 1872 to 1877 , at which time he resigned as an active mason, but from what this entry says, his masonic lodge continued to enjoy the benefits of his generosity long afterwards, as well as that of his daughter.

What we are told is that the South Fork Dam failed after days of unusually heavy rain, and 14.3-million-tons of water from the reservoir of Lake Conemaugh devastated the South Fork Valley, including Johnstown 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, depicting the horrors of the Johnstown Flood experience for public consumption, billed as a “Thrilling Account of the awful floods and their appalling ruin.”

The South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club building and the nine-remaining of sixteen club member cottages still stand today, and are under the auspices of the National Park Service as part of the Johnstown Flood National Memorial.

The Conemaugh Viaduct was located between the South Fork Dam and Staple Bend Tunnel on the descent into Johnstown.

This is what we are told in the official narrative about what happened here.

The Conemaugh Viaduct was originally built in 1833 as part of the Allegheny Portage Railroad where it crossed the Little Conemaugh River, and that it was often described as the most beautiful railroad bridge in the world.

We are told that it was a massive stone structure, over 70-feet, or 21-meters, in height, with a single arch.

We are told this massive stone structure was ultimately no match for what had become a 90-foot, or 27-meter, – high wave of water coming from the failed South Fork Dam, and was destroyed after a few minutes of holding the flood waters back.

We are told that it was essential that the bridge be replaced immediately to bring in help in the aftermath of the flood, so railroad workers came in from New York and Pennsylvania, and in the short-time of 2 1/2-days, built a temporary railroad trestle, and that on June 14th, roughly 2-weeks after the horrifying flood on May 31st, the Pennsylvania Railroad resumed service.

Then we are told that same year, in 1889, the Pennsylvania Railroad rebuilt the Conemaugh Viaduct to replace the temporary wooden structure and original viaduct.

The Staple Bend Tunnel is located just a short distance from the location of the viaduct in the vicinity of Mineral Point, a town just 1-mile, or 1.6-kilometers, down from the Conemaugh Viaduct, which was completely destroyed by the flood. 

The Staple Bend Tunnel was said to have been constructed between 1831 and 1834 for the Allegheny Portage Railroad, and was the first railway tunnel constructed in the United States, and the third tunnel of any kind, after two canal tunnels, also in Pennsylvania.

At 901-feet, or 275-meters, in length, we are told the tunnel was rock-bored and stone-lined by workers – being paid $13/month plus room and board for 12-hour days, 6-days/week – who hand-chipped away and blasted through solid rock.

So what was really going on here?

Paying workers meager wages for hard labor in the early 1830’s hand-chipping and blasting away through solid rock to bring a brand-new tunnel into existence…or chipping and blasting away through whatever material was obstructing a pre-existing tunnel?

In 1994, the Staple Bend Tunnel was declared a National Historic Landmark, and in 2001, it became part of the “Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site,” and like the Johnstown Flood National Memorial, administered by the National Park Service.

So now we come to Johnstown, which is located 57-miles, or 92-kilometers, east of Pittsburgh.

It is at the confluence of the Conemaugh and the Stonycreek Rivers.

The is a map of the 1889 Johnstown Flood direction from the National Park Service map.

“Mass of debris” is marked at the Stone Bridge location.

The Stone Bridge is a 7-arch railroad bridge that was said to have been constructed by the Pennsylvania Railroad between 1887 and 1888.

The Stone Bridge itself survived the flood, but it trapped all kinds of debris, including miles of barbed wire, that had been swept away by the raging floodwaters.

The debris at the bridge caught on fire burned for three days, and killed many people that were trapped in the debris.

If the failure of the South Fork Dam, and the subsequent catastrophic Johnstown Flood was deliberately caused by prestigious members of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club, which evidence in the narrative suggests was the case, then apparently these men had had no care or concern for the death, destruction and suffering for which they were never held accountable that they caused downriver.

From 1834 to 1854, Johnstown was a key transfer point on the Pennsylvania Main Line Canal.

At the head of the canal’s western branch, canal boats were transported over the mountains by the Allegheny Portage Railroad to continue the trip by water to Pittsburgh at the “Forks of the Ohio” and on to the Ohio River Valley.

We are told that when the Pennsylvania Railroad became connected to Johnstown in 1854, with the completion of the main-line, the same year we are told the amazing Horseshoe Curve in Altoona came into  existence, the Pennsylvania Canal became obsolete, and Johnstown grew rapidly as a major producer of steel via the Cambria Iron Company, and at one time was the country’s leading producer of steel.

It operated under this name until 1898, and was under different management two more times, before it closed permanently in 1992.

Though the Cambria Iron Company’s facilities were said to have been badly damaged during the flood, the company was able to reopen on June 6th of 1889, a week after the flood, and continued to operate.

Both Johnstown on the one side of the Allegheny Portage Railroad and the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona on the other side, might have operational remnants of the original incline railway system, though that’s not what we are told about them.

The Johnstown Inclined Plane was said to have been designed by Hungarian-American engineer Samuel Diescher, and completed in 1891 to serve as an escape route from floods in the valley at the confluence of the Conemaugh and Stonycreek Rivers, and to connect Johnstown with the Borough of Westmont on Yoder Hill.

Samuel Diescher was also credited with the design of four of  Pittsburgh’s seventeen original Inclines, of which only two remain, the Monongahela and Duquesne Inclines on Mt. Washington.

Billed as the “World’s steepest vehicular inclined plane,” it’s slope has a grade of 71.9%, and it takes 90 seconds for it to travel in-between the two stations.

The Johnstown Incline is closed for rehabilitation work, now projected to be completed in 2024.

The Inclined Plane Railway back at Horseshoe Curve near Altoona was said to have been built in the 1990s to take tourists up to the park above to get a gscenic view of the incredible engineering feat by the Pennsylvania Railroad circa 1854 of the Horseshoe Curve and its three-tracks that eliminated the need for the Allegheny Portage Railroad’s 10-incline planes.

Like the one at Johnstown, this incline has been closed for repairs, and is also expected to reopen in 2024.

Incline railways 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 way more of them than there are now, and inclined-railways were a worldwide thing.

Now they are mostly either tourist attractions, or kept on as an important part of a communities’ transportation infrastructure from low-ground to high-ground.

I looked at the subject of Incline Railways in-depth in this post, “Incline Railways of the Past and Present.”

Like the canals, railroads, electric streetcars and luxurious holiday resorts of the past, most of the world’s incline railways were largely made to go away for one reason or another.

Back in Johnstown, come to find out that the main highway connecting Johnstown to the Pennsylvania Turnpike is once again our old friend US Route 219!

What is it about US-219?!

This is a great place to revisit the U. S. Number Highway System and see what comes up to the surface.

First up, a deeper look into US-219.

US Route 219 is a spur of US Route 19.

It is 535-miles, or 861-kilometers, -long, and runs from West Seneca, New York, at the eastern end of Lake Erie south of Buffalo, and ends at Bluefield, Virginia, right across the state border from Bluefield, West Virginia

As mentioned previously, these two highways meet at Bluefield in Virginia, of which there is one city on other side of the West Virginia/Virginia border with that name.

The land beneath the two Bluefields contains the richest deposit of bituminous coal in the world, known as the “Pocahontas Coalfield,” or the “Flat-Top Pocahontas Coalfield,” named after the Flat Top Mountain on US-19 in West Virginia, and Pocahontas, Virginia, where the first coal-seam here was discovered.

The Pocahontas Coalfield started to be mined in 1882.

Pocahontas in Virginia was named after the famous daughter of Chief Powhatan in connection with the 17th-century Jamestown Colony, the first permanent English settlement in the Americas.

This is the most famous depiction of Pocahontas from her time on the left, but this how we have been taught to see Pocahontas and Powhatan on the right.

We are told that Bluefield in West Virginia, with its great location with respect to the developing Pocahontas Coalfield, was selected as the location of a major Division point on the Norfolk and Western Railway in the late 19th-century, and that the railroad greatly stimulated to the town’s growth, so much so that in its hey-day, Bluefield was considered a “Little New York.”

Welch, the county seat of McDowell County, was on the Norfolk and Western Railway, just 23-miles, or 36-kilometers, to the northwest of Bluefield.

I had looked at Welch previously because it was situated where I was looking on the previously mentioned Serpent Lei identified by Peter Champoux.

The McDowell County Courthouse was said to have been designed by Frank Pierce Milburn and constructed between 1893 and 1894, after Welch was named the county seat in 1892.

Sid Hatfield and Ed Chambers were murdered on the courthouse steps in 1921 by Baldwin-Felts agents.

Sid Hatfield was the Matewan Chief of Police at the time of the Matewan Massacre in May of 1920, at which time he joined the side of striking coal miners because he sympathized with the unionization efforts.

The Matewan Massacre took place in the Pocahontas Mining District of southwestern West Virginia on May 19th after detectives from the Baldwin-Felts Agency came to evict families that had been living at the Stone Mountain Coal Camp. They served eviction notices, went to eat, and when they left to go to the train station, long story short, they were surrounded by armed miners and two detectives, seven miners, and the towns mayor were killed.

This was during a time when the United Mine Workers of America were trying to unionize the mine, a place where miners worked long hours in unsafe and poor conditions, received a low wage, and were paid in company scrip for the company store.

This situation was typical of how companies treated and viewed their workforce.

Poor treatment dealt with a very heavy hand!

This massacre marked a turning point for miners rights, and thirteen-years later, with the passage of the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933, American Labor Unions were recognized by the federal government.

Next, I am going to take a deeper look at the longer U. S. Route 19 starting at its northern terminus, and then come back to Bluefield and continue the journey southward on US-19.

Now, on to more about U. S. R0ute 19.

The North-South U. S. Route 19 runs from its northern terminus at U. S Route 20 at Lake Erie in Erie, Pennsylvania to its southern terminus at an interchange with U. S. 41 in Memphis, Florida, just south of St. Petersburg.

Erie is located just about right in-between Cleveland, Ohio, which is 90-miles, or 140-kilometers, southwest of Erie, and Buffalo, New York, 80-miles, or 130-kilometers, northeast, on the southern shore of Lake Erie.

Pittsburgh is 128-miles, or 206-kilometers, south of Erie.

Erie was an important railroad hub during the mid-19th-century.

We are told the first railroad station in Erie was established in 1851, and replaced in 1866 by the Romanesque Revival Union Depot seen on the left, which was demolished in 1925.

The current Art Deco Union Station in Erie on the right was said to have opened in 1927, and designed by the Fellheimer and Wagner, an architectural firm credited with a bunch of railroad stations between 1923 and 1940.

The Erie Union Depot is used as an Amtrak stop on the Lake Shore Limited route, and is otherwise used for commercial space today, like a brew pub.

The Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad was said to have been incorporated on April 1st of 1858, with operations starting in March of 1860.

Then on April 1st of 1870, the Pennsylvania Railroad took-over operations.

It was an 83-mile, or 134-kilometer, -long railroad between Girard just west of Erie, and points south around the Pittsburgh area.

Today, it looks like what was the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie line followed what is now Pennsylvania State Route 18 going south out of Girard, through these same two towns of Beaver Falls and Aliquippa on its way to Pittsburgh; US-19 is just east of there, going south from Erie on its way to Pittsburgh; and Pennsylvania State Route 8 leaves Erie and heads south through Titusville on its way to the greater Pittsburgh area.

One last thing I want mention in Erie itself is Waldemeer Park & Water World.

It is billed as one of only thirteen trolley parks still operating as an amusement park in the United States.

But what we see today ain’t what they used to be!

Waldemeer Park was first leased as a trolley park in 1896 by the Erie Electric Motor Company, and is the fourth-oldest amusement park in Pennsylvania, and the tenth-oldest in the United States.

Waldemeer has operated continuously since then under different owners, but the trolleys of the park are long-gone.

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.

They were said to have been created by streetcar companies for reasons like giving people a reason to use their services on weekends.

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

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

So, in this example, dozens of trolley parks were operating at one time in this part of Pennsylvania, just in the location alone between Erie and Pittsburgh, much less everywhere else!

This was an historic trolley park at Aliquippa.

One of Pittsburgh’s first amusement parks, it was said to have been established sometime in the 1880s by the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad as a way to bolster ridership, but by 1905 had fallen into disrepair, and the land was purchased by the “Jones and Laughlin Steel Corporation” that year to construct the “Aliquippa Works.”

Gigantic skeletons were also reported to have been unearthed in Aliquippa by workers digging a ditch.

With the location of Trolley Amusement Parks being historically at the end-terminals of streetcar-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 just 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.

Now I am going to put this area near Erie and US-19 into the perspective of this new system in our historical narrative with its proximity to Titusville, which we come to going south out of Erie on Pennsylvania State Route 8.

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, Pennsylvania, 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, not surprisingly, the Oil Creek State Park Trail runs on the bed of the first railroad line to reach Titusville, the Oil Creek Railroad.

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 by , 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, marketing company.

Oil was used in the form of kerosene was used 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 the United States in 1839, was the progenitor of the wealthy Rockefeller family.

He was considered to be the wealthiest American of all time, as seen in this ranking by CNN Business.

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.

Next, I am going to turn my attention to West Hickory, is the the short distance of just 14-miles or 22-kilometers, south of Titusville, where the tallest recorded skeleton in North America was found.

The 1870 newspaper article printed in the “Marysvillle Tribune” in Ohio from the “Oil City Times” in Pennsylvania says this with regards to the giant that was found at West Hickory.

Two men were excavating near West Hickory in preparation for erecting a derrick and 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.

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.

Yet another nut for the Antiquarians to crack!

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.

Another mystery for the antiquarians – how did a well-preserved skeleton of an enormous human with “remarkably white” bones get way down there?

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 “Smithsonian Institution.”

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. Hmmm.

The view of the Philadelphia Museum of Art from the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia is pictured on the right.

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.”

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.

The previously mentioned rock-city-like Beartown Rocks in Pennsylvania are located in the Clear Creek Forest just 25-miles, or 41-kilometers, southeast of West Hickory.

While we are still here in this part of Pennsylvania, this is a good place to mention that this is the historical land of the Susquehannock People.

The Susquehannock People were known for their height.

This was not a secret.

On the left is a size comparison between a Susquehannock skeleton compared with a European-sized skeleton.

Next, there are just two places I would like to bring forward here out of several that I looked at in the original post outside of Pennsylvania. that are along the same lines Bear Rocks and Boxcar Rocks.

They are Heavener Runestone State Park in Oklahoma and Gornaya Shoria in Southern Siberia.  

First, Heavener Runestone State Park, the best known tourist attraction in Heavener, located in east-central Oklahoma, very close to the Arkansas State line, on the edge of the Ouachita Mountains in Oklahoma. 

The idea that Vikings came through here once-upon-a-time, and carved the runes on the surface of a huge stone is actively promoted, and there is a Viking festival held here twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall.

Interesting to note that what we know of as “Norse” runes, and associated with the Vikings, bear a remarkable resemblance to “Vril” runes, referring to “Universal Life Force Energy.”

Heavener Runestone State Park is one of the places that I first started waking up to this ancient civilization in 2015 when I was living in Oklahoma City between 2013 and 2016, and I visited there several times during that time.

The first time I did not take note of my surroundings at the Runestone, and just saw the Runestone.

The second time I went there, I noticed that the Runestone was surrounded by an actual wall (which is referred to as a canyon there). 

The third time I went to Heavener, I took these photos further up from the Runestone  in a different location on the state park grounds, that have absolutely no attention drawn to them whatsoever.

The Ouachita Mountains of southeastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas are named after the Washitaw Mu’urs of North America, one of the many empires of the worldwide ancient advanced Moorish Civilization.

But…who are the Washitaw?

The Washitaw Mu’urs, also known as the Ancient Ones and the Mound-Builders, with a history that goes back to Ancient Mu, also known as LeMuria, still exist to this day, and have been recognized by the UN as the oldest indigenous civilization on Earth.

Matriarchal and matrilineal, the Washitaw Mu’urs are ruled by an Empress to this day.

Empress Verdiacee pictured here passed away in April of 2014, and the reigning Empress of the Washitaw Nation is her granddaughter, Wendy Farica Washitaw.

But for some reason the general public has never heard of the Washitaw.

Washitaw Proper, the ancient Imperial seat, is in Northern Louisiana, in and around Monroe.

How come we’ve never heard anything about the Washitaw? 

Quite simply, they don’t want us to know.

It is quite interesting to note that Watson Brake, an inaccessible archeological site to public view on private property in Ouachita Parish near Monroe in Richwood, Louisiana, is dated to 5,400-years ago, and is considered the oldest earthwork mound complex in North America.

Note the summer and winter solstice alignments depicted here in this diagram of Watson Brake

Stonehenge in Southern England on the right, believed to date similarly to about 5,100 years ago, has a similar earthwork enclosure to what is seen at Watson Brake in Louisiana encircling the big stones.

How is this even possible with history we are taught?

Oh yes, and the illustration of Watson Brake on the left shows s-shaped river bends right next to it.

Another landscape feature it shares with Stonehenge, which has the s-shaped Salisbury Avon right next to it as well.

One more place in the Ouachita Mountains I would like to mention is Pinnacle Mountain State Park outside of Little Rock, Arkansas.

This was definitely one of the places I woke up to this ancient civilization in North America.

This is a picture of Pinnacle Mountain, which is only viewable like this from the Education Pond at Pinnacle Mountain State Park.

I had first heard of Pinnacle Mountain when I learned about a conference that was held there in 2012.

I didn’t think much of the name Pinnacle Mountain until several years later, in 2015, when finding this image on-line.  This was the beginning of my “looking” and then “finding” out more and more.  It really got my attention!!!    

So I had to go there and see it for myself! It was about a 3 – 4 hour drive from where I was living at the time, and I went twice with friends.

There are two more what appear to be pyramids next to Pinnacle Mountain, and this view is only obtainable from the Visitor Center Observation Deck on a relatively clear day, which I was lucky enough to photograph.

Otherwise, access to all other views is completely cut off by private property and fences, and these are certainly not advertised as pyramids.

Here is a comparison of what is seen from the Pinnacle Mountain Visitor Center Observation deck on the left, and the pyramids on the Giza Plateau in Egypt on the right, in which they all seem to be facing in the same direction.

Another thing is that I can’t help but notice the map of the Washitaw Empire on the left, roughly corresponds to the map of the Louisiana Purchase in the middle and the Western and Trans-Mississippi Theaters of the American Civil War on the right.

As a matter of fact, the Trans-Mississippi Department was a geographical subdivision of the Confederate Army.

When Union forces under General Ulysses S. Grant captured the Confederate stronghold of the port of Vicksburg on July 4th of 1863 and divided the Confederacy, Confederate General Edmund Kirby Smith’s forces were cut off from the Confederate Capital of Richmond, Virginia.

At the time, Edmund Kirby Smith was the Commander of the Trans-Mississippi Department, and for the rest of the Civil War, he remained west of the Mississippi River.

As a result of being cut-off from Richmond, Kirby Smith had free reign in a nearly independent area of the Confederacy, and the whole region became known as “Kirby Smithdom.”

Like Lewis Cass and Jefferson Davis, Edmund Kirby Smith is in the National Statuary Hall, representing the State of Florida.

I have gotten through about half of the 50 States in the series I have done on who’s in the National Statuary Hall, so I have looked at around 50 out of 100 statues, some of them famous but most of them obscure historical figures, and from what I’ve seen so far, it sure seems like a “Who’s Who” of the New World Order’s Reset Agenda to me!

I first learned about the Trans-Mississippi Department when I was doing some research around Albert Pike, an influential 33rd-degree Freemason who was a senior officer of the Confederate Army who commanded the District of Indian Territory in the Trans-Mississippi Theater of the American Civil War, otherwise known as Oklahoma.

Around this same time period, Albert Pike was the Sovereign Grand Commander of the Supreme Council of Scottish Rite’s Southern Jurisdiction, a position which he held from 1859 to 1891.

One last place I want to look at before I go back to continue down US-19 where we left off at Bluefield, Virginia, is Gornaya Shoria, on a different continent in Siberia.

Aaron sent me photos of Gornaya Shoria to bring it to my attention regarding its similarity to these rock formations we keep seeing in State Parks in North America.

Here is Boxcar Rocks in Pennsylvania on the left compared with Gornaya Shoria on the right.

Gornaya Shoria is found in Russian in southern Siberia, east of the Altay Mountains, and is known for its gigantic megalithic stone structures.

There are other similarities to share between Siberia and what we have seen so far in North America.

One is that Gornaya Shoria is that it is rich in ores, like the abundant iron ore we saw in State College, and is in the Kuznetsk Basin, one of the largest coal-mining areas in Russia with one of the largest coal deposits in the world, like the Pocahontas Coal Field, the richest deposit of bituminous coal in the world, back in southern West Virginia and western Virginia.

Another shared feature from what we have seen thus far in different places are the s-shaped river bends and confluences, like what we see in Kemerovo, the administrative center of the Kemerevo Oblast and the coal-mining capital of Russia. 

It is located at the confluence of the Iskitimka and Tom Rivers, and is situated in an S-shaped bend of the Tom River.

The Kuznetsk Railroad Bridge crosses the Tom River at Kemerovo.

The Western Siberia Railway branch of the Great Trans-Siberian Railroad passes through Kemerovo, which has two railroad stations.

The Great Trans-Siberian Railway is the longest railway line in the world. 

At 5,772-miles, or 9,289-kilometers,-long, it connects Moscow in European Russia to Vladivostok in the Russian Far East.

We are told that the first railway projects in Siberia began after the completion of the Saint Petersburg to Moscow Railway in 1851.

The Siberian line was divided into seven sections, and construction started in 1891, and we are told most of the line was simultaneously worked on by 62,000 workers.

This was labelled as an 1895 photo of convicts working on the railroad in East Siberia near Khabarovsk.

This photo with shadowy figures standing in the background reminds me of other creepy, staged-looking photos I see from time to time in my research.

Like this one noted as taken in 1870 in Trenton, New Jersey…

…and from the 1884 Flood of Paducah in Kentucky on the left that even has the words “stage of water” in the title below the photograph, and on the right a similar-looking photo taken in front of the Machinery Hall for the 1888 Centennial Exposition of the Ohio Valley and Central States in Cincinnati.

At any rate, the financial support behind the Great Trans-Siberian Railroad was leading European financier Baron Henri Hottinguer through his bank Hottinger & Cie, one of the first private banks, created by the Hottinguer family in Switzerland on August 1st of 1786.

Known today as the Hottinger Group, it is headquartered in the City of London London, and is primarily-owned by the Geneva-based Edmond de Rothschild Group.

Swiss Banks, along with off-shore banks in other countries, are notorious for the ability of wealthy people to hide their money and assets in them.

There is even what we think of as classical Roman architecture here in Siberia, like the Kemerovo Regional Lunacharsky Drama Theater.

You know, Siberia!

And wherever this picture was taken in the Siberian winter has an operational incline railway!

Like what you see in North America and other places, the indigenous Shor people of the Kemerevo Oblast are portrayed as hunter-gatherers and farmers…but who knew how to smelt-iron and make iron objects. 

Hence their name from the Russians who encountered them in 1607, the Kuznetsk Tatars, or “Blacksmith Tatars.”

So the indigenous Shors, where the massive megalithic site of Gornaya Shoria is located, were “Tatars,” or Tartars, of the historic Tartarian Empire, one of many ancient empires around the world that were in harmony and balance with each other, and not at war with each other as we have been taught to believe in our historical narrative.

So you have the indigenous peoples of Russia, like the Shor…

…and the Itelmen People of the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Russian Far East looking very much like Native American Tribal people.

Well, that similarity is accounted for in the official narrative with the migration story that the first humans to enter North America came from Siberia across the Bering Land Bridge at the end of the last Ice Age.

Right?

The story we learn about in school anyway.

So, what exactly happened to get us to our present belief systems?

Well, for one way, there was “Wild Bill Cody’s Wild West” Show.

Wild Bill Cody, a Freemason, became internationally known for his touring show, called “Buffalo Bill’s Wild West.”

His “Wild West” Show travelled across the United States, Great Britain, and Continental Europe, starting in 1883.

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.

This one, and a plethora of other Wild West Shows, were the precursors of western movies in shaping the New Narrative in the minds of countless young people who grew up believing this was portraying true history.

The first commercially successful western film was “The Great Train Robbery” a silent film that was released in 1903.

The story-line was as follows: outlaw gang holds up and robs a steam locomotive; flee across mountainous terrain; and defeated by a posse of locals.

A pretty standard formula for western movie plots over the years.

The western-movie genre continued to grow as time went on, and in 1914, Cecil B. DeMille in his directorial debut released a silent western called “The Squaw Man.”

Director Cecil B. DeMille was a Freemason…

…and so were actors John Wayne and Roy Rogers, among many other famous actors and film-makers of the day.

Both John Wayne and Roy Rogers were Shriners, an organization comprised of 32nd- and 33rd-degree freemasons, the highest degrees of western freemasonry.

The name “Shriners” is derived from the “Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine.”

I think it is accurate to say that the freemasonic Shriners are best known to the general public for their hospitals, circuses and parade antics in little cars.

Even comedian Red Skelton, musician Roy Clark and Mel Blanc, the voice of Bugs Bunny, were Shriners!

These are Prince Hall Shriners of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine.

Ancient Moorish Masonry has 360-degrees of initiation…327 more than western freemasonry.

Prince Hall, and fourteen other Moorish men were initiated into the British Army Lodge 441 of the Irish Registry, after having been declined admittance into the Boston St. John’s Lodge, at Fort Independence in Boston Harbor.

He was the founder of Prince Hall Freemasonry on September 29th of 1784, and the African Grand Lodge of North America.

Until Prince Hall found a way back in, Moorish Masons were denied admittance into Freemasonry.

Moorish Masonry is based on Moorish Science, which also includes the study of natural and spiritual laws, natal and judicial astrology, and zodiac masonry.

This is where the perfect alignments of infrastructure on earth with the sky comes from – the consummate alignment of earth with heaven that is seen around the world – like the lunar roll along the top of this recumbant stone in Crowthie Muir near Forres, Scotland.

Muir is pronounced “Moor.” Like in the Ouachita Mountains in North America, the memory of the people is retained.

Even though the spelling is different, the pronunciation is the same.

What I am seeing and believing is that Humanity was on a completely different and positive timeline from what we are experiencing today.

This civilization, with different empires around the world, but all part of the same civilization, built all of the infrastructure on the earth in alignment with sacred geometry and Universal Law to create Harmony and balance between Heaven and Earth.

According to George G. M. James in his 1954 book “Stolen Legacy,” the European Freemasons stole the legacy for themselves of the original Moorish Masons, the custodians of the Egyptian mysteries.

So, now I am going to head back to where I left off in Pennsylvania and pick up US-19 in Pittsburgh.

The routes I looked at leaving southward out of Erie – US-19, US-18, and US-8 – meet on the highway system around Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh looks like another one of those central hubs we saw earlier with the US Highway System and historic Railroad lines.

Pittsburgh is the largest city in Appalachia and the Ohio Valley.

It developed as the vital link between the Atlantic Coast and the Midwest, with examples like the Allegheny Portage Railroad connecting the Pennsylvania Main Canal to Pittsburgh and the Ohio River and points west of the Allegheny Mountains.

Pittsburgh played a dominant role in the development of the U. S. Steel Industry.

Many leading industrialists of the 19th-century were based in Pittsburgh, and resided in the East Liberty neighborhood in Pittsburgh’s East End, at one time the richest suburb in America, with names including Mellon, Carnegie, Heinz, and Westinghouse living there.

We are told that East Liberty started developing as a commercial area in 1842, when Thomas Mellon, prominent businessman and patriarch of the Mellon family in Pittsburgh, married Sarah Jane Negley, daughter of one of the earliest land-owners in the area, and made East Liberty their home..

We are told that Thomas Mellon made his fortune selling or rented land inherited by his wife, and used the proceeds to finance early industries in Pittsburgh.

In 1870, he and his sons Andrew and Richard established the “T. Mellon & Sons Bank,” and it became the Mellon National Bank In 1902.

It became a force in the mass production revolution in the United States, particularly in the Midwest.

A National Bank is a private bank operating as a commercial bank within the Federal Government’s Regulatory Structure, and under the supervision of the “Office of the Comptroller of the Currency,” rather than a state banking agency.

At one time in our history, National Banks had the authority to print money.

At its height, Mellon Financial Services was one of the world’s largest money management firms. 

It merged with the Bank of New York in 2007 to become BNY Mellon.

Richard Mellon, with an adjusted wealth of $103-billion, is listed as the 5th wealthiest American of all-time by CNN Business, and a founder of Gulf Oil and Alcoa Aluminum, as well as a number of other big corporations, along with his brother…

…Andrew Mellon, who is listed as the 15th-wealthiest American of all-time by CNN Business, with an adjusted wealth of $63.2-billion.

It is important to note that Andrew Mellon was an acknowledged Freemason, and also the U. S. Secretary of the Treasury from March 9th of 1921 to February 12th of 1932, presiding over the Boom years of the 1920s as well as the Wall Street Crash of October 1929, which led directly to the Great Depression.

Andrew Mellon was also a close friend of Henry Clay Frick, and a member of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club, along with Andrew Carnegie, on the property where the dam failed that caused the Johnstown Flood, as previously discussed.

Along with Andrew Mellon, as we saw earlier in the section on Johnstown, Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick were initiated into Freemasonry, with Henry Clay Frick active for only five-years, but supported Freemasonry his entire life.

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

It’s important to note that with the philanthropic activities spoken of these extemely wealthy men, which are made to sound extremely benevolent and meant to benefit Humanity, it seems like their intent was highly questionable as to their actual motives.

We have seen or referenced all four of these men who receive the top billing as “Robber Barons.”

More on Vanderbilt and Morgan to come.

Among many other things, both the Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundations have been involved in the American Educational System…

…from the need to education to train the future workforce….

…to the insidious “Woke” currriculum of today that is taught in American public school classrooms.

And, 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.

Now I am going to leave Pittsburgh, and head south on US-19, back to where it meets US-219 in Bluefield, Virginia.

It was from tracking the Serpent Lei alignment, the red line on this screenshot, that I first encountered Burkes Garden, Virginia, which is just south of Bluefield, accessed from US-19, and the next place I want to bring to your attention.

Burkes Garden has a population of about 300 people, in a place considered to have the most fertile soil in Virginia, but no post office; no cell phone or cable service; cool-to-cold weather; and one paved road to Tazewell, the nearest town about 15-miles, or 23-kilometers away.

Burkes Garden is known as “Vanderbilt’s First Choice” for the Grand Biltmore Estate.

We are told that the land-owners there wouldn’t sell to George Vanderbilt II, so he went to Asheville in North Carolina instead.

More on Asheville shortly.

There are a number of historic railroads in the vicinity of Burkes Garden, like the  Norfolk & Western Railroad’s Clinch Valley Line between the coalfields of Bluefield running through Tazewell County beside US-19 to the high-quality coalfields of the Clinch River Valley south of Richlands.

The last place I want mention on US-19 is Asheville in North Carolina.

Asheville is at the confluence of the French Broad and Swannanoa Rivers.

George Vanderbilt II’s Biltmore Estate is divided by the French Broad River, and its confluence with the Swannanoa River is on the Biltmore Estate.

The Western North Carolina Railroad was said to have been constructed through here starting in the 1850s, and today the existing track is operated by different railroads to transport freight, primarily Blue Ridge Southern, Norfolk Southern, and CSX.

This whole region we have been looking at through here was part of the traditional lands of the Cherokee people.

They were said to have ceded their land here around Asheville 1819.

The Cherokee were one of the five civilized tribes to be forcibly removed from their land after the Indian Removal Act of 1830 was passed by Congress, and as mentioned previously, enforced by Lewis Cass, Andrew Jackson’s Secretary of War, and the Cherokee were marched west to Indian Territory in one of several Trails of Tears.

So Asheville on US-19 ended up being the location chosen by George Vanderbilt II for the Biltmore Estate instead of his “first choice” Burkes Garden, also on US-19.

The Biltmore Estate is on 8,000-acres, or 3,237-hectares of land.

This is what we are told about the Biltmore.

It was said to have been a Chateauesque-style mansion, meaning in the revivalist Renaissance architectural-style of French chateaux of the Loire Valley, built for George Washington Vanderbilt II between 1885 and 1895.

It is the largest privately-owned residence in the United States, and is considered of the most prominent of the Gilded Age mansions.

The Gilded Age is the name given to the period of time in American history between 1877 and 1900, a time of rapid industrialization and rapid economic expansion.

This would have roughly corresponded in our historical narrative to the Reconstruction Era after the American Civil War, which we are told ended in 1865, and the Progressive Era, which is what we are told was a period of widespread political activism and reform, that started in 1896.

It was also time when the contrast of the ostentatiousness of the wealthy versus the abject poverty of the working class became more visible.

We are told that the famous landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted was employed by George Washington Vanderbilt II to design the landscape for the Biltmore Estate.

It was said to be Frederick Law Olmsted’s last project, and he was memorialized in a plaque there.

The Biltmore Estate contains numerous ancient Native American sites, including what is known as the “Biltmore Mound,” an earthwork platform mound, and other archaeological discoveries on the grounds.

While I can’t find a direct reference to George W. Vanderbilt II himself being a Freemason, I did find a reference that the Vanderbilts were known Freemasons…

…and Aaron sent me the link to the Biltmore Lodge saying that George W. Vanderbilt procured the Lodge Hall for the Biltmore Masons to conduct business.

More on this finding to come.

George Washington Vanderbilt II was William Kissam Vanderbilt’s brother, who was mentioned earlier in this post as having gained control of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, along with financier J. P. Morgan, from Collis Huntington in 1888.

Their grandfather was Cornelius Vanderbilt.

Staten Island-born Cornelius Vanderbilt got his start in regional steamboat lines and ocean-going steamships, and from there got into the railroad business.

He bought control of the Hudson River Railroad in 1864; the New York Central Railroad in 1867; the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad in 1869; and the Canada Southern Railway in 1876.

He consolidated his two key lines into the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad in 1870, becoming one of the first giant corporations in the history of the United States

According to CNN Business, Cornelius Vanderbilt was the second-richest American in history, with an adjusted wealth of $205-billion.

George W. Vanderbilt II was supposed to sail on the RMS Titanic with his wife but they changed plans at the last minute and sailed instead on the sister ship of the Titanic, the RMS Olympic, which left port before the Titanic, and arrived in New York before the Titanic sank.

J. P. Morgan has long been suspected of having been behind what has come down to us as the sinking of the Titanic.

This is what we are told on the Federal Reserve History website.

A secret meeting took place on Jekyll Island off the coast of the State of Georgia to lay the foundations of the Federal Reserve between November 20th and November 30th of 1910.

The purpose of the meeting was so secret that what the six men talked about was a closely guarded secret for many years, and they did not admit to it until the 1930s.

They were laying the foundation for what would become the Federal Reserve System.

Again, this information is from the Federal Reserve History website.

J. P. Morgan was a member of the exclusive Jekyll Island Club, was likely the one who arranged for the group to use the club’s facilities.

George’s brother, William K. Vanderbilt was also member of what 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.”

This was the train station in Brunswick that serviced Jekyll Island on the Southern and Atlantic Coast Railroad.

The Oglethorpe Hotel pictured here 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.”

Then, on April 15th of 1912, we are told the Titanic sank. with all the bankers opposed to the creation of the Federal Reserve on board, including John Jacob Astor IV, one of the richest people in the world at the time.

I can’t help but wonder if the “Sinking of the Titanic” was also a veiled reference to the “sinking of the Titans.”

The word “titanic” means “of exceptional strength, size, or power.”

More on my thoughts about this particular subject later in this post.

Titanic

The following year, on December 23rd, 1913, the Federal Reserve Act Passed Congress, signed into law by Woodrow Wilson.  It created and established the Federal Reserve System, and created the authority to issue Federal Reserve Notes (commonly known as the US dollar) as legal tender.

Federal Reserve Act

John Jacob Astor IV was the great grandson of John Jacob Astor, who made a fortune in real estate development, the fur trade, and opium smuggling.

John Jacob Astor was considered to be the world’s first multi-millionaire, and the third-richest American of all time according to CNN Business.

J. P. Morgan himself didn’t make the CNN Business List of 20 wealthiest Americans of time, but he dominated corporate finance on Wall Street throughout the “Gilded Age,” and was a major driving force behind the wave of industrial consolidation in the United States in the late 19th- and early 20th-centuries, like the previously mentioned U. S. Steel in 1901.

 J. P. Morgan’s father, Junius Spencer Morgan, was the founder of the company that would become J. S. Morgan & Company in 1864, that was the successor company to George Peabody & Company, of which he became the Junior Partner in October of 1854.

In 1854, Morgan was put in charge of the firm’s iron portfolio, which included the marketing of railroad bonds in London and New York.

By the time J. S. Morgan died in 1890, the Morgan banks were the dominant forces in government and railroad finance, and his son John Pierpont Morgan had taken the helm of the company, becoming known as. J. P. Morgan & Company in 1895, now known as JP Morgan Chase & Company.

George Peabody’s bank became the premier American banking house in London after he took up residence from Baltimore to London permanently in 1837, and went from being a wholesale dry-goods and cotton merchant, to a merchant-banker offering securities in American railroad and canal enterprises to British and European investors.

He started a banking business trading on his own account a year after he moved to London, and by 1851, he established the banking firm of “George Peabody & Company” to meet the increasing demand for securities issued by American railroads, and his company specialized in financing governments and large companies.

According to “The Secret Founding of America” book by Nicholas Hagger…

…George Peabody was the Freemasonic banker from whom money was transferred to the “southern insurrectionists,” and he hired the father of J. P. Morgan to handle the funds when they arrived in the United States.

Banker George Peabody established the Peabody Institute in Baltimore in 1857 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 American Civil War, it was dedicated by George Peabody himself,and included a music academy, library and art gallery.

George Peabody was also called the “Father of Modern Philanthropy.”

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!

So, exactly how do you go about hiding giants and their advanced civilization?

Based on the evidence I have provided throughout this post and past research, I think the American Civil War was one of many ways to do this, and not what we are told it was about.

Frederick Law Olmsted, who later became a revered landscape architect credited with such grand landscapes as that of the Biltmore Estate as seen previously, started out his career as a journalist.

Among other things, during the pre-Civil War time period, Olmsted was commissioned by the New York Daily Times to start on an extensive research journey in the American South and Texas between 1852 and 1857.

He published three books from this time into 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.

All of these books by Frederick Law Olmsted raise red flags for me, as I have come to believe from my research that publications like these are indicative of some kind of 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.

Frederick Law Olmsted was also the first executive secretary of the United States Sanitary Commission as well as an organizer of the Union League.

First, the United States Sanitary Commission.

What we are told about the United States Sanitary Commission is that it organized “Sanitary Fairs” during the American Civil War as a fundraiser for the many needs of Union Soldiers, including health.

“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.

Frederick Law Olmsted was on the standing committee for the United States Sanitary Commission that was formed in New York, with its main members throughout the Civil War also consisting of: Henry Whitney Bellows; George Templeton Strong; and surgeons Dr. William H. Van Buren, Dr. Cornelius R. Agnew, and Dr. Wolcott Gibbs.

Did the U. S. Sanitary Commission and its volunteers really have the wherewithal to both construct the buildings for and pull off these extraordinarily lavish and festive undertakings against the backdrop of national war and suffering?

Or was it a private front comprised of the very same people who organized and were prominent members of the private membership clubs of the day, like the Union League and the Century Association.

The Union League 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.

Along with Frederick Law Olmsted, oganizers of the Union League Club were Henry Whitney Bellows, George Templeton Strong, and Wolcott Gibbs, same names as the United States Sanitary Commission.

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.

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.

Members of the Century Association have included artists and writers like: poet and journalist William Cullen Bryant; landscape painter Frederick Edwin Church; landscape painter Winslow Homer; and best-known for stained-glass-work, Louis Comfort Tiffany.

Architect members have included: landscape-architects Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted; Beaux-Arts architects Carrere and Hastings, as well as York and Sawyer; and architects McKim, Meade and White, who were said to have defined the ideals of the American Renaissance in end-of-the-century New York.

Other members were said to have included: Eight U. S. Presidents; ten U. S. Supreme Court Justices; forty-three Members of the Presidential Cabinet; twenty-nine Nobel Prize Laureates; members of the Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Roosevelt, and Astor families; as well as financier J. P. Morgan and morse code inventor Samuel P. Morse.

Ever hear the George Carlin quote “It’s one big club, and you ain’t in it?” and wonder where that idea might have come from?

Seems like all of these private clubs we are seeing in this post were private and exclusive for a reason, and that was to secretly plan their activities and next moves that no one supposed to know about!

The so-called elites have continued doing the same thing to this day in their secretive meetings to plan their agendas for what they want the future to look like for Humanity and the World, and what they want doesn’t look good for us!

The United States Sanitary Commission and the Sanitary Fairs and the exclusive private clubs associated with the very same people leads to the larger question, of what was really going on during the American Civil War, historically described as a civil war between northern states, or “Union,” and the southern states, or “Confederacy,” over the status of slavery and its expansion into newly acquired land after the Mexican-American War.

We are told there were three theaters of war during years of American Civil War, between 1861 and 1865: Eastern, Western, and Trans-Mississippi.

I have often thought that theater, defined as a collaborative form of performing art that uses live performers, usually actors or actresses, to present the experience of a real or imagined event before a live audience in a specific place, like a stage, is a thought-provoking word choice for an area or place in which important military events occur or are progressing.

I have come to view the American Civil War as Freemasonic Theater, which I think applies to all the wars and armed conflicts of our modern era.

Orphan trains started in 1854, under the auspices of Frederick Law Olmsted’s good friend, Charles Loring Brace, and the Children’s Aid Society, which Brace established in 1853.

A new experimental program of his called “placing-out” became known to us as “Orphan Trains,” and for the next 75-years, over 200,000 children were sent across the continent, to uncertain destinations and uncertain futures with strangers.

A movement going in this direction was widely supported by wealthy New York families, like Charlotte Augusta Gibbes, the wife of John Jacob Astor III, grandson of John Jacob Astor, and who was the wealthiest Astor family member of his generation.

Right around the same time as the beginning of the Orphan Train Movement, and the alleged completion of the Horseshoe Curve by the Pennsylvania Railroad near Altoona, both taking place in 1854, we are told that the federal government operated a land-grant system between 1855 and 1871, where new railway companies in what we are told was the uninhabited west were given millions of acres they could sell or pledge to bondholders.

The establishment of a land-grant system at this time is a good place to insert once again the story of the Ames Brothers of Easton, Massachusetts, co-owners of the Ames Shovel Shop, nationally known for providing the shovels for the Union Pacific Railroad, which we are told opened the West.

It was said to have been the world’s largest supplier of shovels in the 19th-century.

Why were shovels so important to the opening of the West and the expansion of infrastructure?

What if…the tracks were already there and just needed to be dug out?

Not only that, one brother, Oliver Ames, Jr, (b. 1807 – d. 1877) was the President of the Union Pacific Railroad from when it met the Central Pacific Railroad in Utah for the completion of the first Transcontinental Railroad in North America.

The other brother, Oakes Ames, was a member of the U. S. Congress House of Representatives from Massachusetts 2nd District from 1863-1873. He was credited by many as being the most important influence in building the Union Pacific portion of the first Transcontinental Railroad.

Oakes Ames was also noted for his involvement in the Credit-Mobilier Scandal of 1867, regarding the improper sale of stock of the railroad’s construction company.

He was formally censured by Congress in 1873 for this involvement, and he died in the same year.

Ten-years later, he was posthumously exonerated by the Massachusetts State Legislature on May 10th, 1883.

Has nothing ever changed?

Have we always had the same corruption in our government?

Then, there was the Kirkbride Plan coming in around the same time in the mid-1800s as all these other things I just mentioned.

Thomas Kirkbride was a Pennsylvanian who was said to have designed a system of mental asylums starting in the mid-19th-century that were constructed according to the Kirkbride Plan across the U. S. and while numerous Kirkbride structures still exist, many have been demolished, partially-demolished, or repurposed.

The first building said to have been constructed with Kirkbride’s design was the New Jersey State Lunatic Asylum in Trenton, New Jersey, in 1848, also known as the Trenton State Hospital.

Aaron uncovered what I am going to share next when he was prompted to look into the relationship between the locations on Google Earth of Kirkbride buildings (marked by white), key masonic lodges (green), and state capitals (red).

You will see in the following screenshots of what he found, there is a high correlation of these buildings being on or near these alignments.

Gettysburg in Pennsylvania turned out to be a hub, circled in red, with many alignments between all three of these types of locations going out in all directions.

He found the same thing happening with the New River Gorge in West Virginia as a hub, with many alignments between all three of these types of locations going out in all directions.

He also looked up these three types of location alignments from the address of the previously mentioned Biltmore Masonic Lodge, which is marked in orange and circled in red, and found some interesting linear patterns emerging from North America.

Here is a more localized view of alignments of Kirkbrides, masonic lodges and state capitals to the northeast of the Biltmore Lodge, and upon which the earlier Kirkbride example I gave of the Trenton State Hospital falls directly, circled at the top of the screenshot.

The Earth’s original free-energy grid system was based on exact and precise geometric alignments of cities and places, which is actually what we are seeing in high-definition with Aaron’s Kirkbride alignments, and it was reverse-engineered into an energy-harvesting and control system.

And how did they manage to do that?

I have come to believe after years of extensive research in tracking cities and places in alignment on the Earth’s grid system and delving deeply into reset historical narrative that there was a deliberately caused cataclysm relatively recently by directed energy into the grid system, which devastated the surface of the Earth.

I have put forward the idea that the Philadelphia Experiment was connected to what has taken place here, which I discuss in-depth in “Recovering Lost History from Estuaries, Pine Barrens & Elite Enclaves Off the Atlantic Northeast Coast of the United States,” but however it happened, I believe this cataclysm was a deliberately-caused attack on the Earth’s grid system and was not caused naturally.

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 giants 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.

There’s extensive underground infrastructure where people could have survived until the surface of the Earth was habitable.

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, as we have seen here in all these examples from Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

Oh yes, and they claimed the very best of everything for themselves, including but not limited to, what became the Greenbrier Resort.

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.

Quite the opposite.

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

The same story repeats all over the country with the Robber Barons coming in and setting up shop, and the Resetters staging a new history.

Like Lumber Baron William Carson, who arrived in San Francisco, California in 1849, from New Brunswick in Canada, with a group of other woodsmen.

In 1850, he and Jerry Whitmore were said to have felled a tree, the first for commercial purposes on Humboldt Bay, and in 1854, he was said to have shipped the first loads of Redwood timber to San Francisco.

In 1863, he and John Dolbeer formed the Dolbeer and Carson Lumber Company.

William Carson was also said to have been involved with the founding of the Eel River and Eureka Railroad in November of 1882.

Its service was said to have been stopped for safety reasons between 1996 and 1997, and it’s been abandoned ever since.

But the new history of the “Robber Barons and the Resetters” seems to have gotten its start in Pennsylvania, where there were a lot of firsts happening.

The nickname of Pennsylvania is “The Keystone State,” and in its anecdotal history, was said to have come from it’s location in the keystone of the arch, depicted here, in the center of the original thirteen colonies.

But another reason comes to mind in the definition of “keystone,” in its figurative sense as opposed to its literal meaning as the stone in the middle of the arch which holds up the others.”

The idea of “that which holds together other parts…locking together the whole structure.”

Pennsylvania certainly seems to have played an instrumental role in doing just that in our historical narrative and new economic system.

Additionally, the story of the Masonic Keystone is well-worth looking at. which has the letters “HTWSSTKS” engraved on it, said to mean “Hiram The Widows Son Sent To King Solomon,” referring to Hiram Abiff.

Hiram Abiff is the main character in an allegory presented to all 3rd-degree Freemasonry candidates as the main architect of Solomon’s Temple. 

Hiram Abiff was murdered inside the temple with a mason’s tool by three fellow-craft masons from the workforce, or “ruffians,” after he wouldn’t give them his Master Mason secrets, which were lost with his death. 

I found an article on the masonicworld.com website awhile back when I was looking for information on Hiram Abiff.

In it, the writer talks about “Operative Masonry” and the beginning of “Speculative Masonry” in 1717, with the founding of the Premier Grand Lodge of England.”

The writer indicates in the article that while some believed that operative masons were also in position of the tragic story of Hiram Abiff, there was no mention ot Hiram Abiff in the existing records of Operative Masonry from before that time; that there was no third, or Master Mason Degree as a rite until the Premier Grand Lodge was established in 1717; and that it was likely that the legend of Hiram Abiff was introduced at the time of Freemasonry became a speculative organization.

To me this provides supporting evidence that the ritual of the recital of the death of Hiram Abiff is actually an allegory for what happened to the Moors themselves and their advanced civilization by the unworthy craftsman that has been enshrined in one of their main initiation rites.

It is my understanding that only those initiated into the highest degree of western Freemasonry know directly about the Moors.

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.

The New World’s Controllers stole the identity and legacy of the operative masons, and took us from the “Moorish Divine Movement of the World,” from Antiquity, with the eye on top of the pyramid signifying our pineal gland and our connection to the Creator, to it symbolizing “Big Brother,” and the control of the 13 Bloodline families.

There’s a lot more to our lost history, but this gives you some idea of what has taken place here, and not for our benefit.

In these shorter, themed-segments, as I have done in this one, I am going to bring forward additional information that was not included in the original post.

As much as possible, I am going to change-up the information in each of these different segments so you are not seeing the same information continually repeating, as all the information presented in “On the Trail of Giants – In Appalachia and Beyond” was closely interconnected.

The next post will be “On the Trail of Giants – In Appalachia and Beyond – Theme 2: Giants.”

Circle Alignments on the Earth Amsterdam Island – Part 3 Strait of Hormuz

In the first-part of this series called “Circle Alignments on the Earth Amsterdam Island” that I am updating from a series I originally did between November of 2018 and January of 2019,” I tracked this circle alignment from Amsterdam Island, one of the French Subantarctic Islands in the South Indian Ocean to Berbera in Somaliland, an historic city that has served as a major commercial center and port since antiquity, and has a glorious past in terms of importance to the region but which is looking quite rough these days!

In the second-part of this series, I picked up the alignment in the Gulf of Aden on the way into Yemen from Berbera, and explored this region of the Earth around the Gulf of Aden that is prominent in human and biblical history, before heading along the alignment through Yemen, and through the Empty Quarter of the southern-third of the Arabian Peninsula, the world’s largest desert, through the United Arab Emirates and ended in Dubai, one of the world’s “Global” cities.

In this third-part of the series, I am picking up the alignment where it leaves the United Arab Emirates and crosses over the Strait of Hormuz and its islands to southern Iran between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.

The Strait of Hormuz is the only sea passage from the Persian Gulf to the open Ocean. 

The Musandam Peninsula is on the the south coast of the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran is on the north coast of it.

Additionally, there are numerous islands in the waters surrounding it that I am going to be looking at in this post.

In my journey of coming to awareness regarding this information, I have found that islands on the Earth’s gridlines are extremely interesting. 

The governance of Musandam Peninsula is shared by the countries United Arab Emirates and Oman.

The United Arab Emirates govern Ras al Khaimah and parts of Dibba, and the Musandam Governate is administered by Oman.

Today, the city of Ras al Khaimah is positioning itself as a haven for wealthy individuals.

The location of Ras al Khaimah is said to have been the site of continuous human habitation for 7,000 years, and that it is one of the few places in the country and world that can say this.

There are thriving mangrove swamps lining the coast of Ras al Khaimah, as well as inside the city.

In the last part of this series, we saw mangrove swamps on the coast near Alula, the capital of the Bari Region of Somalia’s Puntland.

Mangroves are a type of tree that grows in brackish water.

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.

Sites of historical and archeological interest here include the Shimal Fort, also known as Sheba’s Palace, associated with the town wall of the port of Julfar, and was once the seat of the Ruler of Julfar, and associated with the indigenous Shihuh people.

Another archeological site of interest in the Ras al Khaimah area is the Tell of Kush, situated on an important trade route.

We saw the Kingdom of Kush back across the Arabian Peninsula and Red Sea from here in East Africa in the last part of this series, an ancient kingdom of Nubia historically in what is now southern Egypt and northern Sudan.

I am going to leave this here for contemplation.

It won’t be the last time was see a “Kush” on this alignment as we go through this series.

Musandam is the home of an ancient people, the Shihuh, that are indigenous to the jagged peninsula, who inhabit the Hajar Mountain Range in the northern part of it.

The Shihuh are divided into two main sections: the Bani Hadiyah and the Bani Shatair.

Long influential in this region, they have fiercely maintained their identity and independence.

Telegraph Island is located in what was named the Elphinstone Inlet for the East India Company’s then-Governor of Bombay, Mountstuart Elphinstone, and was the location of a telegraph repeater station built by the British there in 1864, only to be abandoned in the mid-1870s , and remains deserted to this day.

We are told that the slang term in English “going ’round the bend,” meaning a feeling of exasperation, came from the telegraph workers who were stationed there, with its heat, rocks, and isolated location.

The Strait of Hormuz is the world’s biggest oil transit waterway “chokepoint.”

At least 20% of the world’s petroleum passes through here, and one-third of the world’s liquefied natural gas, and is a highly important strategic location for international trade.

Not surprisingly, this is a tense area, to say the least!

There a couple of things to mention about this.

One is that the ships that pass through the territorial waters of Oman and Iran through the Strait under the “Transit Passage” provisions of the “United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea,” first adopted in 1982, which established a legal framework for all marine and maritime activities.

While not ratified by all countries, it is accepted by most as customary navigation rules.

The Strait of Hormuz has been site of many military conflicts and attacks over the years, including but not limited to the 1984 Tanker War that took place during the Iran-Iraq War when Iraq attacked the oil terminals and tankers on Iran’s Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf, said to have been done to provoke Iran into retaliating with extreme measures, and lasted for several years.

Next, I will share with you what I found out about the Islands of the Strait of Hormuz.

These islands are windows to a hidden history.

First, Abu Musa.

I mentioned Abu Musa in my recent post called “What is it Exactly about the World’s Disputed Islands,” in which I looked at seemingly insignificant islands and island groups that are the subjects of territorial disputes between countries, that I keep coming across in tracking different long-distance alignments of cities and places and the Earth, and speculated on the possibility they were once giant-tree locations.

The island of  Abu Musa is contested between the United Arab Emirates and Iran.  

It has been administered by Iran as part of the Hormozgan Province since 1971.

It is the furthest Island from the Iranian coast, and is strategically important as it sits near the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz, and because of sea-depth, ships and oil tankers must pass between Abu Musa and the Greater and Lesser Tunb islands, also administered by Iran, on their way through.

The size of Abu Musa is 4.9-square-miles, or 12.8-kilometers-squared.

Abu Musa City is the largest settlement on the island, with a population of somewhere around 2,000 people.

This tiny island even has its own regional airport.

Between 1908 and 1968, the British controlled the Abu Musa, along with other islands in the Persian Gulf.

There are iron oxide deposits on Abu Musa.

Before I go into the iron oxide deposits found on Abu Musa specifically, this is a good place for me to insert background about the British East India Company’s “Persian Gulf Residency.”

This is what we are told.

The “Persian Gulf Residency” was a sub-division of the British Empire from 1822 to 1971, during which time the United Kingdom maintained varying degrees of economic and political control over several states in the Persian Gulf, including the United Arab Emirates, and at different times, over the southern portions of Persia (Iran), Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar, known collectively as the “Trucial States,” the name given to a group of southeastern Arabia who had signed protective treaties, or “truces” with the British between 1820 and 1892.

The British interest in the Persian Gulf had increased as India’s importance in the British imperial system increased in the 18th- and 19th-centuries.

In 1622, the British helped the Persian Emperor, Shah Abbas, in expelling the Portuguese from Hormuz Island in 1622.

In return, the East India Company was allowed to establish a trading post in Bandar-e-Abbas on the southern coast of what is known as Iran today.

More on these two places, Hormuz Island and Bandar-e-Abbas, as we go through this region.

An important side-note here is that 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, off the West Coast of Africa, one year after Pope Alexander VI had issued the Inter Cetera Bull in 1493, which essentially authorized the grab of the lands of the indigenous Moorish civilization.

Among other things, the bull assigned to Castile “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 of 1492.”

Thirty-five-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, and used as the means to justify the colonize the world by the Spanish and Portuguese.

A “Papal Bull” is an official papal letter or document, named after the leaden seal used to authenticate it, and they figure prominently in the historical narrative we have been given.

As a result of a series of Royal Charters granted by King Charles II, starting in 1661, the East India Company was granted the rights to autonomous territorial acquisitions; to mint money; to command fortresses and troops and form alliances; to make war and peace; and to exercise both civil and criminal jurisdiction over the acquired areas.

A royal charter was a formal grant issued by a monarch under “royal prerogative” as “letters patent,” and used early on as the means by which the British legitimized their colonization of the world.

“Royal prerogative” is a body of customary authority, privilege and immunity recognized in common and civil law jurisdictions within a monarchy as belonging to the sovereign that becomes widely vested in government, and the same idea as the Papal Bull, by which the authority to take land, among other things, was vested in one”Supreme Leader.”

Back to the Persian Gulf Residency.

The East India Company, as a result of the Royal Charters granted by King Charles II, became responsible for conducting British foreign policy in the Persian Gulf as the Crown’s regional agent.

The East India Company established their Residency at Bushehr, on the Persian Gulf, and another one later at Basar,

In 1822, the Bushehr and Basar Residencies were combined, and Bushehr became the headquarters for the new “British Resident of the Persian Gulf” of the British Colonial Residency.

A “Chief Political Officer” was the “Chief Executive Officer,” and was subordinate to the “Governor of Bombay until 1873, at which time this position became subordinate to the Governor-General of India until 1947, when India was granted its independence from Great Britain, at which time the responsibility was tranferred to the British Foreign Office.

The British terminated its protectorate and military presence in the Persian Gulf in December of 1971.

Now to apply this history back to the small, disputed island of Abu Musa.

Before 1908, the island had been under the rule of the Sheikh of Sharjah, now one of the United Arab Emirates but which had been one of the British “Trucial States.”

After the Sheikh had cancelled a 1906 mining concession he had awarded to three Arabs, for them to mine the red iron oxide deposits on Abu Musa because they turned around and offered to sell the extracted iron oxide to a German company, the British helped him expel the workers from the island but by 1908, the British came into control of the island.

In 1968, Britain announced it would be ending its military and administrative positions in the Persian Gulf.

Two days before the official establishment of the United Arab Emirates, on November 30th of 1971, the Sheikh of the Emirate of Sharjah signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Iran.

This MOU allowed Sharjah to have a police station on the island, and allowed Iran to station troops there, and divided the island’s energy resources between the two. This was supposed to preventing Iran from invading and taking over Abu Musa like it had the Greater and Lesser Tunb islands, two other disputed islands between the two coutnries.

However, on the same day of November 30th of 1971, a day before the British officially left the region, Iran moved its troops in and took over with the help of the Sheikh’s brother, and the dispute has existed ever since.

Just a couple more things about what I saw looking at photos of the island of Abu Musa before I move on from here.

First, it has beaches with a symmetric curvature, as seen in this photo of Abu Musa on the top left, are features found in diverse places, like the Dead Sea in the top middle, which is located between Israel and Jordan; Halawa Bay on the top right, on the Hawaiian Island of Molokai; .Casco Cove on the island of Attu in the far-western part of the Aleutian Islands, on the bottom left; the Black Sea in Bulgaria, on the bottom middle; and and Lake Baikal in Siberia, on the bottom right.

Not sure exactly what we are seeing here, but there appears to be a pattern of some kind!

 

Another thing that Abu Musa has in common with other places are the presence of rocky shorelines.

How about this comparison of the rocks on the shore of Abu Musa on the top left with the shore of Flowerpot Island, an island in Georgian Bay in the Province of Ontario on the top right; on the bottom left, Deadman’s Reef on Bahama Beach, located at West End on the Grand Bahama Island, and on the bottom right, at the Jipsam Revolutionary Site in Chongjin, North Korea.

Next, I am going to take a look at the tiny island of Sir Abu Nu’ayr.

Sir Abu Nu’ayr does belong to the Emirate of Sharjah.

It lies 50-miles, or 80-kilometers, north of Abu Dhabi, and 64-miles, or 103-kilometers, west of Dubai in the Persian Gulf.

It is described as an almost perfectly round island, with a short-extension at one end, making it shaped like a droplet of water.

It has a small harbor and airfield located at the southeast end where the short-extension is located.

The island is said to be a “salt piercement structure,” or “salt dome,” formed by the movement from the Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian Hormuz Formation Salt, with surface expressions of sedimentary, igneous rocks, and quartzitic sandstone.

To the north-northeast of the island is Dubai’s Fateh Oil Field complex; to the north is the Sirri Oil field of Iran; and to the west by the oil and gas fields of Abu Dhabi.

The tiny island of Sir Abu Nu’ayr is environmentally-protected under the “Sharjah Environment and Protected Areas Authority,” and is registered on the list of wetlands of international importance under the Ramsar Convention.

The Ramsar Convention was an international treaty that was first signed in February of 1971 in Ramsar, Iran, and is reviewed every three-years by the contracting international parties.

It designated sites, known as “Ramsar Sites,” to be considered of international importance when it comes to the conservation and sustainable use of wetlands.

As a matter of fact, the United Arab Emirates as a whole has eight Ramsar wetlands sites.

The Ramsar Convention defines wetlands as “areas of marsh, fen, peat, or water, whether natural or artificial, permanent or temporary, with water that is static or flowing, fresh, brackish or salt, including areas of marine water the depth of which at low tide, does not exceed 20-feet, or 6-meters.

In 2012, Sir Abu Nu’ayr it was listed as a potential UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Next I am going to turn my attention to Iran’s Sirri and Farur Islands.

First Sirri.

Sirri Island is one of six islands in the Abu Musa Island Group , and is located 31-miles, or 50-kilometers, west of Abu Musa, in the Hormozgan Province of Iran.

It is 3.5-miles, or 5.6-kilometers, wide, and 1.9-miles, or 3-kilometers, long.

Sirri Island is the location of an oil platform that was reconstructed after having been destroyed by U. S. Naval operations during Operation Praying Mantis in April of 1988.

Operation Praying Mantis was a retaliatory attack against Iran because of an American warship that was damaged as a result of Iran mining International waters in the Persian Gulf during the Iran-Iraq War.

There are numeous offshore oil fields in the Sirri District.

I saw where Sirri Island has a lighthouse, called the “Jazireh-ye Sirri” Lighthouse, but I was unable to find a picture of it.

When I was looking for a picture of it, however, I found a reference to a present or past history of lighthouses on these islands we are looking at here.

I am not saying the following without having done a great deal of research on places with lighthouses and similar terrain and water features all over the Earth, based on what I am finding and seeing.

I don’t think the original purpose of lighthouses is what we are told.

Some may have been used as navigational aids for ships by the original civilization, like the lighthouses found at the entrances of harbors and ports, but I suspect “lighthouses” were quite literally referring to “a house for light” for the purposes of precisely distributing the 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.

Even the colossal “Statue of Liberty” was a lighthouse in Upper New York Bay, and utilized as such from November 1st of 1886 until March 1st of 1902 in our historical record.

They ended up becoming utilized as navigational aids, but I think that was because the land sheared off and sank right beside where they were located, creating the hidden conditions in the waters that the lighthouses became needed for.

I believe there was a worldwide subsidence of land-masses, and the simultaneous creation of estuaries, marshes, swamps, deserts, and dunes that happened relatively recently in our history as the result of a deliberately-caused cataclysm in a targeting of the Earth’s grid-system by the self-styled global elite class behind the New World Order, with ambitions of world domination and control driving their agenda, and that they occulted the timeline we are currently living on.

Next, Farur Island is close to Sirri Island, and is located 36-miles, or 58-kilometers, from Abu Musa.

Currently uninhabited with the exception of some government officials that live there, it is said to have the remains of ruined buildings and water wells…and a lighthouse, though, like the one on neighboring Sirri Island, there is no photo of it.

The Farur Island region is one of the richest wildlife regions in the country, and having things like a substantial bird population…

…and there is a subspecies of Arabian Gazelle on Farur that is considered a relict population that survived in isolation after having been split off from other Arabian gazelle populations.

Now, I am going to turn my attention to the large island of Qeshm in the Strait of Hormuz.

It is the largest island in Iran, and one of the largest islands in the world.  

An important trading center at one time, it is situated just a short distance off the coast of Iran. 

The narrow Clarence, or Khuran, Strait separates Qeshm from the mainland.

The Clarence Strait is the home to the most extensive location of mangrove trees in the Persian Gulf, the “Hara Forest,” and has been a protected Ramsar Site since 1975.

It is dominated by the species of Hara mangrove known as “white” or “grey,” and is found, like other mangrove trees, in the intertidal zones of estuaries, places where salt water meets freshwater; where the water is salty, dirty & unpleasant; where there are one or more rivers flowing into it; and where there is a connection to the open sea.

The Hara forest is comprised of floating mangrove trees…

…and the Hara Forest has many channels running throughout it.

Qeshm Island on the top, like the Hawaiian Island of Molokai pictured below it, looks remarkably like the shape of…well…a dolphin… including land shaped like flukes and flippers.

Not only do both of these islands look like dolphins, they both have a large population of sea animals in their waters, including large sea turtles and cetaceans like whales and dolphins.

Well, you might expect that in the Hawaiian Islands, but in Iran?  In the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s biggest oil transit waterway “chokepoint?”

As a matter of fact, Qeshm has the earth’s largest mammal, the blue whale, swimming in its waters…

…as well as sea turtles and pods of dolphins that are also found in the waters around Qeshm.

The whole island of Qeshm was designated as a UNESCO Global Geopark in 2017.

It is said to be part of the southeastern portion of the Zagros Mountains, and part of the Hormuz Formation Salt plugs mentioned previously with respect to the tiny island of Sir Abu Nu’ayr.

Qeshm is called the Island of Seven Wonders, and along with the Hara Forest, some of these wonders include:

The Namakdan Salt Cave Complex on Qeshm, considered to be one of the world’s largest salt cave systems, if not the largest.

The cave system is said to be a 4-mile-, or 6.5-kilometer-, -long labyrinth, most of which is closed to the public.

This location is said to be therapeutic for treating asthma and other respiratory ailments.

Another wonder on Qeshm is the Valley of the Stars, or Stars Valley, called one of the most amazing natural sites in the world. 

But is it natural, or could that possibly be melted ancient masonry?

This view of the Valley of the Stars on Qeshm Island on the top left has a similar appearance to what’s found at Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah on the bottom left, and to Red Rock State Park in California on the right.

Another of the wonders on Qeshm is found at Chahkooh Canyon.

Here here we find what is described as the intersection of two vertical canyons.

The color of the water in this view of Chakooh Canyon location on Qeshm Island on the left reminded me of the Emerald Pool in Guadelupe Canyon in Baja California, Mexico, on the right, a place that I found tracking a different long-distance alignment.

A few more things I would like to point out about Qeshm Island before I move on from here.

The Talla Wells on Qeshm are capable of holding water for a long time, keeping it healthy and cool. 

The locals say in the past, the number of these cisterns equalled the number of days in the year, and every day, one of the wells was used for water.

The Talla Wells reminded me of the Plain of Jars in Laos. 

The Plain of Jars is a mystery, with thousands of huge jars cut from stone filling the landscape.

Some of the stone jars in Laos are massive in size!

Other well systems in the world include the ancient Puquio Wells of Nazca in Peru. 

This is a system of subterranean aqueducts, and most are still functioning.

And in part 2 of this series, we saw the“Cisterns of Tawila” in the port city of Aden in southern Yemen.

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.

And like the vicinity around Aden in southern Yemen being a possible candidate for the biblical “Garden of Eden,” also mentioned in part 2 of this series, Qeshm was mentioned as a supposed site of the Garden of Eden in Cassell’s Bible.

Cassell’s Bible was an illustrated version of the Bible first published in serialized format starting in 1859 and on through the 1870s, during which time it was published in sections for a certain price each section.

This way of publishing reading material for public consumption was typical during this time in both Great Britain and America, like Charles Dickens and “Sketches by Boz ~ Illustrative of Every Day Life and Every Day People,” a collection of short pieces Dickens published between 1833 and 1836 in different newspapers and periodicals…

…and Jack London, whose famous novel “Call of the Wild,” was first published in serialized form in “The Saturday Evening Post” in 1903.

What is called the old Portuguese Castle, or Fort, on Qeshm was said to have been built by the Portuguese under Afonso de Albuquerque in 1507 as the “Fort of Our Lady of the Conception,” in order to manage an unforeseen insurgency by the locals, and mainly used as a warehouse for guns and artillery.

On the east end of Qeshm Island in the vicinity of the old Portuguese Castle/Fort are three lighthouses.

These lighthouses on Qeshm are at the entrances to artifically made harbors, so probably used as navigational aids for ships by the original civilization as harbor guides on top of whatever other function they might have had.

Other places I have found where lighthouses are located at harbor/port entrances in a similar configuration as Qeshm are at the Grand Harbor in Valletta, Malta, with Fort St. Elmo on one side, and Fort Ricasoli on the other…

…at the harbor entrance in Sousse,Tunisia, not far from the historical location of Carthage near the country’s capital at Tunis.

The Ribat of Sousse is an historical fortification in Sousse, near the harbor.

I found the same configuration of lighthouses at the entrance to the Port of Dover, England, in the English Channel, which has several fortifications nearby, like the sprawling Dover Castle; Drop Redoubt Fortress; and Fort Burgoyne.

Like lighthouses, I think these so-called forts served some kind of energy function on the Earth’s grid system.

Perhaps as batteries, as they are so often called, like these in Hobart, Tasmania.

I typically find these in pairs or clusters as well, all over the Earth.

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. 

There is one more thing I would like to point out  before I leave the beautiful island of Qeshm, which is in a free zone, so a visa is not required to visit. 

This photo is of Harbor Laaft on Qeshm. 

These buildings most definitely have Moorish architectural features.

To support what I am saying, here are photos of five-lobed Moorish arches in Harbor Laaft on Qeshm on the top left; the Hotel Ceballos in Colima, Mexico on the top right, and of five-lobed arches in Cordoba, Spain, which is acknowledged Moorish architecture, the bottom right.

Next, the island of Hengam is located just south of Qeshm, holding the position of what looks like a flipper that broke off from the main body of the dolphin-shaped island.

Hengam is called the “Island (or Home) of the Dolphins.”

It has three villages – Old Hengam, New Hengam, and Ghil – but doesn’t have cars or paved roads.

Besides the dolphin population around Hengam’s waters, the island itself is home to a species of Persian gazelle that is native to Iran known as the Chinkara…

…as well as a species of large, spiny-tailed lizard known as the Egyptian Uromastyx…

…and is one of several locations throughout this region where hawksbill sea turtles are found and have their nests.

Hengam is also known for its glowing blue sea from phytoplankton at night when the water is calm and windless.

Like Qeshm and other islands we have seen here, Hengam also has a lighthouse.

Hengam also has an intriguing-looking coast.

So, for purposes of comparison, here is a view of sheer cliffs along Hengam Island’s coastline on the left, compared for similarity of appearance with the sheer white cliffs of Dover on the coast of southern England on the top right, and the cliffs along the southern coast of Australia in Victoria State where the Great Ocean Road runs for a long distance next to a sheer cliff, and showing the location of the 12 Apostles, then name given to what are called “limestone stacks” in the water off Port Campbell.

When the word “sheer” is used to refer to a cliff, it means a high area of land with a very steep side.

One of the meanings of the word “shear” spelled with an “a” is to break off, or be cut off, sharply.

A synonym of the word for “sheer cliff” is “bluff.”

Another meaning of the word “bluff” is a deception, or an attempt to deceive.

Here are two of countless examples I have found of why I believe there is a connection about between the lighthouses and land-subsidence.

On the left-side is the rugged coast of southern England, where the “White Cliffs of Dover” are located, and a map showing corresponding lighthouses locations along the coast, and on the right side is a picture of the cliffs along the coast of Victoria State in southern Australia, where the Great Ocean Road passes by the 12 Apostles and the corresponding lighthouses beside the cliff-edge there.

As I mentioned earlier in this post, I have come to believe that lighthouses originally had a different function on the Earth’s grid system having to do with light energy, and ended-up becoming utilized as navigational aids in our world because the land sheared-off and sank right beside where they were located, creating the hidden conditions in the waters that the lighthouses subsequently became needed for, because of a deliberately deliberately-caused cataclysm involving the Earth’s grid-system, that also simultaneously created estuaries, marshes, swamps, deserts and dunes, and that this happened relatively recently in our history by the self-styled global elite class behind the New World Order, with ambitions of world domination and control driving their agenda and bringing us the crazy, upside-down world we live in today, with a new historical narrative and a new timeline that was occulted.

Coincidentally (or not), the word “occulting” is used to describe a type of lighthouse light-characteristic pattern.

This is an intriguing photo I came across earlier this year of the lighthouse at Turtugreis in Turkey.

There are many reasons I have come to believe that lighthouses were originally connected with light energy and its distribution in the Earth’s energy grid system.

The last place I want to introduce you to in this part of the series about the Strait of Hormuz, is Hormuz Island.

Like what we saw with little island of Sir Abu Nu’ayr awhile back in this post, Hormuz Island is also an almost perfectly round island, with a short-extension at one end, making it a water-droplet-shaped island.

Hormuz Island is called the “Rainbow Island of Iran.”

It is interesting to note that note that other places in the world that have rainbow colors similar to Hormuz Island on the top left include, Vinicunca, the rainbow mountain in the Cusco region of Peru on the right, and the Rainbow Mountains in the Zhangye Danxia National Park in China on the bottom left.

Here are some places to visit on Hormuz Island.

What is known as “Red Beach” is said to get its color from a soil rich in red iron oxide, which is a valuable mineral used not only for industrial purposes but also in local spices and jams.

The Valley of the Statues on Hormuz Island has rock-shapes likened to animal-forms…

…and where there are “sheer cliffs” next to the coast of the island.

Like Qeshm, Hormuz Island has a Mangrove forest…

…and an old Portuguese fort, also said to have been built by the Portuguese Duke Alfonso de Albuquerque after he captured the island in 1507, and also known as the Fort of Our Lady of the Conception, and became part of the greater Portuguese Empire.

This is a good place to revisit the Treaty of Tordesillas of 1494, which divided the newly “discovered” lands outside Europe between the Portuguese Empire and the Spanish Empire, one year after Pope Alexander VI had issued the Inter Cetera Bull in 1493, which essentially authorized the grab of the lands of the indigenous Moorish civilization.

This is what we are told in our historical narrative.

First, Duke Afonso de Albuquerque.

He has gone down in our history as a great Portuguese general, admiral, and statesman.

He was Viceroy of Portuguese India from 1509 to 1515.

Besides capturing the forts on Qeshm and Hormuz in 1507, he led Portuguese forces in the Conquest of Goa in 1510, and captured the city of Malacca in the Strait of Malacca in Indonesia in 1511.

Among other goals of conquest, he sought to secure the spice trade for the Portuguese Empire, which include control of Malacca in the Spice Islands; Goa in India: Hormuz in the Strait of Hormuz; and the port city of Aden in Yemen on the Gulf of Aden near the Red Sea that we saw in the last part of this series.

There is another papal bull to bring up here.

It was the one that was issued by Pope Paul III in 1540, by which he established the Jesuit Order under the leadership of Ignatius Loyola, a Basque nobleman from the Pyrenees in Northern Spain. and Francis Xavier, a Spaniard who became a representative of the Portuguese Empire in Asia, was a co-founder of the order.

The Jesuit Order included a special vow of obedience to the Pope in matters of mission direction and assignment.

Jesuits

No sooner than the Jesuits had been established in 1540, Francis Xavier was on his way to Goa in India from Lisbon in 1541, arriving there in May of 1542, for the stated reason of spreading the message of Jesus.

He has a dark legacy there even though his name came to be revered worldwide.

The inquisition started functioning in Portugal in 1541, and Francis Xavier laid the foundation for the Inquisition to be established in Goa after he arrived there in order to impose the Catholic Church’s policies and mass conversion on the population there.

He died in China in 1552, and in December of 1553, his body was shipped to Goa, where he was subsequently placed in a glass container encased by a silver casket in Goa’s Basilica of Born Jesus, where his remains are to this day.

There are 32 silver plates on every side of the casket depicting episodes from his life.

Francis Xavier was beatified in October of 1619 by Pope Paul V, and canonized as a saint by Pope Gregory XV in March of 1622.

Twenty-years after the establishment of the Jesuits and Francis Xavier’s arrival in Goa, the Goa Inquisition officially started in 1561 as an extension of the Portuguese Inquisition in Portuguese India in order to enforce Catholic Orthodoxy and an allegiance to the Pope.

It was considered to be one of the worst inquisitions in human history, with more than 2,000 people burned alive, and many more than that tortured.

In our historical narrative, the same year of 1622 that Jesuit missionary Francis Xavier was canonized as a saint, the Portuguese lost Hormuz Island to the forces of the British East India Company allied with the Persians, who had successfully re-captured the forts at Hormuz Island and Qeshm.   

English explorer William Baffin was in the service of the East India Company when he died of wounds sustained during the Capture of Hormuz. 

Baffin Bay between Greenland and Canada, and Baffin Island in Canada, are named after him.

I personally have a lot of questions about the veracity of what our historical narrative tells us about the history of this time period because of the number of early Portuguese explorers, for example, that I came across that had their first biographies written by German and English Biographers in the 19th-century.

Please see my blog post “Evidence for the Manipulation of Space and Time & the Creation of a New Timeline for the Earth” for an in-depth look at this subject.

Here is a photo of the vaulted arches of the Portuguese fort on Hormuz on the left; compared with the vaulted arches of the Seville Cathedral in the capital of Moorish Spain, in the middle; and on the top right is the “Spanish Gothic” architecture at Bryn Mawr College in PA that was torn down about 15-years ago, with its vaulted ceiling, and five-lobed Moorish arches; and the vaulted archways at Ft. Pulaski in Savannah, Georgia, on the bottom right.

While we are taught all of these architectural similarities were occurring at different times across countries and continents during centuries when, according to what we are also taught in history class, transportation was limited and communication was regional. 

The date given for this old map of Hormuz is 1747, showing lots of activity going on here, and what appears to be another star fort shape across the Strait of Hormuz on the coast of what is now southern Iran.

While on Google Earth there no longer appears to be a similar structure across the water in this location…

…there does appear to be an intentional configuration of many square shapes in the desert in that location in a close-up shot on the left that are reminiscent of circuitry chips on a circuit board on the right.

As always, there is more here than what I have shared, but this serves as an introduction to an obscure, but fascinating, place on the Earth.

I will pick up the alignment on the coast of southern Iran in the port city of Bandar-e-Abbas in the next part of the series.

Circle Alignment on the Earth Amsterdam Island – Part 2 Gulf of Aden to Dubai, United Arab Emirates

In the first-part of this series called “Circle Alignment on the Earth Amsterdam Island” that I am updating from a series I originally did between November of 2018 and January of 2019,” I tracked this circle alignment from Amsterdam Island, one of the French Subantarctic Islands in the South Indian Ocean to Berbera in Somaliland, an historic city that has served as a major commercial center and port since antiquity, and has a glorious past in terms of importance to the region but which is looking quite rough these days!

I am picking up the alignment in the Gulf of Aden on the way into Yemen in the second-part of this series.

This series was one of my earliest efforts in tracking cities and places in alignment over a very long distance, and consistently seeing the same characteristics and hand of design across oceans and continents.

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.

For starters, I am going to take a deeper look at some of these places around the Gulf of Aden.

Then I will continue tracking the alignment from where it enters Yemen in Mukhalla, after it crosses the Gulf of Aden from Berbera, Somaliland.

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 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.

This is the same thing we saw happening in Somalia and Ethiopia in the first part of this series, with the division of countries and people; civil war; territorial war; and some form of Marxist government implemented.

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 as we go through this part of the 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.

What if 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.

It’s 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.

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.

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.”

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.

Ethiopia - Lake Tana

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

The war left at least 1.4 million dead.

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

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.

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 buildings, canals, and 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 grid system that they had removed from collective awareness.

Before I move back to the Gulf of Aden and tracking the Amsterdam Island Circle Alignment, I just want to say there is clearly something of great historical importance to this region 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?!

So, now back to the Gulf of Aden.

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.

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

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 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.

It’s medicinal properties include wound healing and digestion, among many others.

There are more anomalous things find in the Guardafui Channel islands, and 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.

Now back to the Amsterdam Island alignment after this long tangent looking at an overlooked part of the world, yet with tremendous historical importance which has been forgotten and debased in modern times.

Leaving Berbera in Somaliland on the alignment, we come to Mukalla, 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, a place I found tracking a different alignment.

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, and is also on the alignment.

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 in the Horn of Africa region was significant. 

Next the alignment crosses the Rub Al Khali, otherwise known as the Empty Quarter. 

It 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 Liwa Oasis is found in the Abu Dhabi Emirate, one of the seven Emirates that comprise the  United Arab Emirates (UAE). 

The Liwa Oasis is not far from the Shaybat Oil Field.

As a matter of fact It stretches along the northern edge of the Empty Quarter for 62-miles, or 100-kilometers, along an in arch curved to the north, and consists of approximately 50 villages, with Muzayri being the geographic and economic center of the Oasis.

The history of the Mezairaa Fort in Muzayri is not known.

It has been speculated that it was built in the 19th-century by the local tribes to protect their wells and to provide protection for nomads who roamed the desert through here.

The same story is given for the altogether nine historical forts in the Liwa Oasis.

The other six restored forts here include:

Dhafeer Fort…

…Qutuf Fort…

…Maria Al Gharbiyah Fort…

…Muqib tower…

…Attab Fort…

…and the Al-Jabbana Fort.

The two forts considered ruins in the Liwa Oasis are the:

Al Hayla Tower…

…and the Umm Hosn fort.

What’s absolutely uncanny is the similarity between the mud-brick architecture of the Liwa Oasis in Abu Dhabi like the Dhafeer Fort on the top left and on the right, the mud-brick architecture of places like the Great Mosque of Djenne in the west African country of Mali clear on the other side of Africa from here, both of which have features that resemble the imperial castle of Fasil Ghebbi in Gondar, Ethiopia, on the bottom left.

We’ll be seeing more examples of this finding as we continue travelling along this alignment.

Before we move on here, just wanted to share with you some tourist attractions here.

If you ever travel to the Liwa Oasis, one of the fun things you can do is take a trip to the Moreeb Dune in the Empty Quarter.

It is the tallest dune in the UAE 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.

Must have a pretty hard surface underneath all of the 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 near the Liwa Oasis, 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.

Next on the alignment, we come to the city of Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE.

It is located on an island in the Persian Gulf.

Here’s an aerial view of Abu Dhabi, with lots of channels and canals showing up.

I find this to be noteworthy, because the ancient advanced civilization was a canal-building civilization, and like the mud-brick architecture mentioned previously, we will continue to find the presence of canals along this alignment.

And here is a view of it from the water, with a nice rectangular beach-head on the top left, and a nicely-shaped manmade water front on the bottom right.

This is the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, and its elegant and sophisticated design features on the top left.

The date for construction is given as 1996.

I am comparing it with the Taj Mahal in Agra, India, on the bottom right because they have similar design features, especially the shape of the domes.

Yet the Taj Mahal was built in the mid-1600s as a mausoleum, according to the historical narrative we have been given. 

In both places, the architecture is simply-breathtaking!

The sophistication and striking similarities of these two monumental works of architecture raise some real questions in my mind about how they were built – both then and now.

The next location we come to on the alignment is Dubai, another Emirate, and the largest city of the United Arab Emirates. 

You can tell just by looking at a map of the city that this is a unique place in the world.

Dubai is one of the world’s “Global Cities,” which means it is a city which is a primary node in the global economic network, with a focus on financial power, and high technology infrastructure.

The Burj Khalifa Tower,the world’s tallest building, is in Dubai.

The building is 2,722-feet, or 830-meters, tall in height.

Construction dates are listed between 2004 and 2009, with it opening to use in 2010.

The oldest existing building in Dubai is the Al-Fahidi Fort, and was said to have been built in 1787 to protect the locals and the pearl-fishing economy from neighboring tribes.

Today the old fort houses the Dubai Museum, pictured on the left.

The Al-Fahidi Fort has the same architectural features shown previously in this post as the Fasil Ghebbi in Gondar, Ethiopia, the home of Ethiopia’s Emperors, on the top right, and the Great Mosque of Djenne in Mali in west Africa on the bottom right. 

Djenne is said to be the oldest known city in sub-Saharan Africa.

Djenne in Mali is located close to the Bandiagara Escarpment, where the Dogon people live.

This is the Bandiagara Escarpment on the top, looking remarkably like Mesa Verde in the U. S. State of Colorado, on the bottom.

The Dogon have a very sophisticated spiritual, astronomical and calendrical system, as well as extensive anatomical and physiological knowledge. They also have a systematic pharmacopeia, which means directions for compound medications.

Perhaps they are best known for the accurate knowledge they possess about the Sirius star system.

Yet we know the Dogon to have an agricultural society?

One last thing I want to show you in Dubai before I end this post.

This is an aerial view of what is considered Dubai’s Old Town, the Bur Dubai.

Here are more photos of the architecture and canal system of Old Town Dubai.

Like with everywhere else, there is much more to find here in these places I’ve been looking at, but I will end this post here, and in the next post will pick up the alignment as it goes across the Strait of Hormuz into Iran.

Circle Alignment on the Earth Amsterdam Island – Part 1 Amsterdam Island to Berbera, Somaliland

This post involves a circle alignment that I found beginning and ending on Amsterdam Island, a small island in the French Subantarctic Islands.

I am updating the original series from November of 2018 through January of 2019, and have added a considerable amount of new material to what I had in the original eleven-part series called “Circle Alignments on the Planet Amsterdam Island.”

I have removed “Planet” from the title and replaced it with “Earth” because I do believe as a result of what I have encountered in my research over the last five-years-plus, that we have been lied to about the shape of the realm, along with all the other things  we have been lied to about.

This series was one of my earliest efforts in tracking cities and places in alignment over a very long distance, and consistently seeing the same characteristics and hand of design across oceans and continents.

The process of doing the research along this alignment and other alignments has provided extensive evidence for a worldwide, advanced civilization, which has been deliberately suppressed, misattributed and removed from our collective awareness so that we wouldn’t know about its existence.

For comparison of similarity of appearance is the Temple of Khnum in Esna , Egypt, pictured on the left, and the Victoria-era “Temple Mill,” in Leeds, England, on the right.

This advanced civilization that developed on Earth originated in the far distant past in ancient Mu, also known as LeMuria; and that this was the same civilization known as “Atlantis,” which I believe existed up until relatively recent times and represents the missing positive timeline of Humanity.

While this map may not represent the actual extent of the Earth’s landmass at the time of the “Fall of Atlantis,” which I have come to believe took place relatively recently in time as opposed to many-thousands of years ago, it is the closest representation on a map that I could find to a depiction of the continental landmasses being much more connected than what we have been taught to believe in our historical narrative, which doesn’t even officially confirm the actual existence of LeMuria and Atlantis.

Mu and Atlantis are treated more like historical “maybes” – maybe they once-existed, and maybe they didn’t – and typically placed in the elusive “mythical” category by Academia.

From the extensive research I have done thus far, I have reason to believe this ancient global civilization was aligned on Earth and Heaven in a Flower of Life pattern, within which all sacred geometric shapes are contained, and built out on the surface of the Earth according to the principles of Sacred Geometry.

The start- and end-point of this next circle alignment. that I found and am about to share with you in this post, is a tiny dot in the South Indian Ocean.

The dot is Amsterdam Island, one of the French Subantarctic Islands, officially claimed by France in 1892, and known as the territory of the “French Southern and Antarctic Lands,” since 1955, along with “Adelie Land,” the French claim on the Antarctic continent which has been applied to the “Antarctic Treaty System” rules since 1961.

We are told that Amsterdam Island got its name in 1633 from a Dutch sea captain who named it after his ship, Nieuw Amsterdam, which was named after the Dutch settlement of Nieuw Amsterdam (which later became New York City).

This  tiny speck of real estate, for which the only settlement is a seasonal research station, even has its own flag.

The research station studies biology, meteorology, and geomagnetics. 

Here is a photograph of Lee Waves taken on Amsterdam Island.  Lee Waves are atmospheric stationary waves, and are a form of internal gravity waves.   Must be a reason as to why the geomagnetics of this island are studied.

Amsterdam Island is considered the northernmost volcano above the water-line on the Antarctic Plate.

Here is a map of the island circa 1901, showing the island looking rather like a tree stump, with the Cliffs of Entrecasteaux right below what is described as two volcanic calderas.

Here is a photo of the Cliffs of Entrecasteaux below the caldera on the west side of the island.

Chad Williams and and I had a recent conversation for his YouTube Channel “Deeper Conversations with Chad,” and it was called “Giant Trees, the Earth’s Grid, and the New World Order,” where we discussed, among many other things, the apparent volcanic nature of these giant trees and their integral relationship to the Earth’s Grid System, and how this might in turn connect to what might have taken place to render the giant trees as unrecognizable as such.

Our conversation started off with this intriguing illustration that Chad found in his research and had sent along to me at take a look at.

It seems to be showing trees on a grid exploding simultaneously, which would account for why we don’t recognize them as trees any more.

In the course of this same conversation with Chad, we also talked about the consistent pattern of western countries claiming these small islands and island groups in remote locations as their colonies or territories. and upon closer examination, it appears they were making a concerted effort to claim for their own purposes what was left of these giant trees.

Besides the four islands claimed by France in the “French Southern and Antarctic Lands,” of Amsterdam, St. Paul, Kerguelen, and Crozet in this region…

…we find the British in the same region claiming for its empire places like the British Antarctic Territory on the top left; South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands on the top middle, and Tristan da Cunha, the home of the world’s most isolated settlement, which takes 6-days, each-way, by boat to get to-and-from.

Leaving Amsterdam Island, the next place we come to on the alignment is Port Louis, the capital of Mauritius.

Mauritius is officially the Republic of Mauritius, and in addition to the main island, consists of the islands of Rodrigues, Agalega, and St. Brandon.  These islands are 1,200 miles (2,000 km) southeast of the African continent.

Mauritius was initially colonized by France in 1715, who in turn ceded it to the British in the 1814 Treaty of Paris.

It gained its independence from Britain in 1968, and became a Republic in 1992.

In a comparison of what seems to be the same style of architecture in very different places, this is the Port Louis Natural History Museum on the top left, said to have been constructed in 1880; on the top left is the Iolani Palace in Honolulu, Hawaii, said to have been built in 1879, and was the royal residence of the Kingdom of Hawaii until the monarchy was over thrown under Queen Lili’oukalani in 1893; and the Natural History Museum in Merida, Mexico, on the bottom right, said to have been built between 1909 and 1911.

And for further comparison for similarity of appearance, here are photos of the harbor at Port Louis on Mauritius in the Indian Ocean on the left; Freeport Harbor on Grand Bahama Island in the Atlantic Ocean in the middle; and Honolulu Harbor in Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean on the right.

These are just a few of countless examples of harbors from around the world with man-made shorelines and docks.

I first learned about Mauritius from an amazing French archaeologist named Antoine Gigal, and its massive walls, hydraulic systems and road systems that are all connected with the pyramid complexes there.

Much of her work is in Egypt, but she has ventured to other places in her quest for knowledge and understanding, and she has documented much evidence of the sophisticated technology of the ancient civilization. 

To learn more about her work on Mauritius, check out this link where she talks about the discovery of

http://gigalresearch.com/uk/complexe-ile-maurice.php

I first learned about the seven pyramids of Mauritius several years ago in a 2011 Megalithomania presentation by her.

They are terraced structures made of black volcanic stone. 

Interestingly, there are six terraced pyramids, also made of black volcanic stone, in Guimar on the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands. 

In both places they are in perfect astrological alignment with the winter and summer solstice.

Besides the same-style of terraced pyramids, Mauritius and Tenerife in the Canary Islands also share a volcanic history as well.

First, Mauritius.

Mauritius itself is called a massive shield volcano, a broadly domed volcano with gently sloping sides formed from fluid, basaltic lava flows, and has a line of craters bisecting the main island as diagrammed here.

One of the craters, Trou aux Cerfs, which interestingly translates from the French to “Deer Hole,” is described as a dormant volcano with a well-defined cone and crater, on the outskirts of Curepipe, the second-largest city of Mauritius.

This is a view from Curepipe of what are called the “Trois Mamelles” and Mount Rempart.

“Trois Mamelles” translates from the French as “Three Breasts.”

Curepipe is the location of some interesting, what is called “colonial,” architecture, like the Saint Therese Church in the background, said to have been built in 1868…

…and the Town Hall which is nearby, said to have been built starting in 1902.

There is what is called a “Step Mountain” on the Le Morne Brabant, a peninsula on the extreme southwestern tip of Mauritius.

This location is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The “Le Morne” in the peninula’s name could well-refer to the original people of this land.

The “Maroons”of the Indian Ocean, like the “Maroons” of the Americas, they were described as the descendents of Africans who escaped from slavery, and not as the Moorish original people of these lands which is nowhere to be found in our historical narrative.

Only in the place-names, like “Le Mor-ne” and “Maur-itius.”

The “Brabant” in the name of the peninsula “Le Morne Brabant” came from the Dutch East India ship “Brabant” that ran a-ground here at the end of December of 1783.

Interesting to note, there appears to be an underwater waterfall next to it, though it is described as an optical illusion and not actually a waterfall.

Though Mauritius is being researched possibly as the remnants of a lost continent, and for its strong gravitational pull.

Next, Tenerife.

Mount Teide is a volcano on the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, and is the highest point in the islands of the Atlantic Ocean, as well as in Spain.

Now an autonomous community of Spain, the Canary Islands, located off the coast of Western Africa in the vicinity of Morocco and Western Sahara, have been claimed completely by Spain since 1496, after European colonization efforts were said to have started there by France in 1402.

This conquest of the Canary Islands was considered the basic model of European attack on the New World: violent colonization that involved enslavement of the local population; genocide; and the mining of the land’s resources that radically changed the landscape.

The Canary Islands are also said to be of volcanic origin, and have been visited by researchers from the very beginning of the 19th-century, including Alexander von Humboldt in 1799, a Prussian naturalist, mining engineer and explorer, who was said to have climbed the Teide volcano, before heading off to study Venezuela, which has the 2nd-highest gold reserves in the world, as well as Cuba, the Andes, Mexico, and the United States.

Then, in 1815, the same year as the Congress of Vienna which reoragnized Europe after the Napoleonic Wars ended, the German geologist and paleontologist Leopold von Buch visited the Canary Islands, where he primarily studied the production and activities of volcanoes.

Von Buch studied with Alexander von Humboldt at the Freiburg University of Mining and Technology, and was considered a founder of modern geology.

The Freiburg University of Mining and Technology is the oldest school of mining and metallurgy in the world, having been established in 1765 by Francis Xavier of Saxony of the House of Wettin.

Its main purpose was the education of highly skilled miners and scientist in fields connected to mining and metallurgy.

It is interesting that the coat of arms of the German noble House of Wettin has a wyvern tail in the middle of it, and I found this coat of arms of Tenerife, showing a large tree in the center, and wyvern supporters on either side.

I do think these heraldic devices are telling us Truths that have been well-hidden from us.

Wyverns are two-legged, winged creatures that are similar to dragons, but unlike dragons, which can be good or evil, they are unambiguously malicious predators.

Wyverns in heraldry signify war, envy and pestilence.

Primarily through Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, first-cousins and members of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha of the Ernestine branch of the House of Wettin, the original royal houses of Europe were completely replaced by this obscure German Ducal lineage.

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 luminaries in our current historical narrative as: theoretical physicist Albert Einstein; Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, c0-collaborators on “The Communist Manifesto; Otto von Bismarck, first Chancellor of the German Empire and the mover behind the 1884 Berlin Conference,which carved up the African Continent between the European powers; Georg Hegel, whose philosophy gave us the “Hegelian Dialectic” of Problem-Reaction-Solution; and the Brothers Grimm, best-known for their fairy tales which has such story-lines as eating people, as in “Little Red Riding Hood and “Hansel and Gretel.”

For one of many examples, the German Benedictines were said to have been quite active in establishing institutions for German immigrants to America during the 1840s and 1850s, like in Atchison, Kansas.

When I saw the view of Atchison, Kansas in the top left photo, I was immediately reminded of the view of the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife on the island of Tenerife in the Canary islands, on the bottom left, with a shared building-style, directional orientation of the buildings, and placement of the windows in twos, threes, and fours.

Then on the right is a picture of the ancient city of Ouarzazate, Morocco, which I had encountered in my research, and its appearance reminded me exactly of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Atchison.

And like with Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, it is important to note that the Canary Islands have long been rumored to be the remnants of a lost continent as well.

In the case of the Canary Islands , they have been rumored to the the lost continent of Atlantis.

I first heard that particular rumor many years ago.

Before I leave this part of the Indian Ocean in which we find Mauritius on the alignment, I want to bring to your attention to the nearby inhabited French island of Reunion, home to nearly 1,000,000.

It has been governed as a French region since 1946, and is the outermost region of the European Union.

This is what we are told about the history of Reunion Island.

Reunion Island was uninhabited until French settlers from the French East India Company arrived in the 17th-century, and subsequently established a plantation economy based on sugar and instituted a slavery system with slaves and indentured laborers brought in primarily from Africa and Asia.

St. Denis is the administrative capital of French Overseas Department and Region of Reunion, which the island has been known as since 1793, when it was changed from “Bourbon Island” to erase the name of the Bourbon Dynasty after the “Insurrection of 1792,” a defining event in the French Revolution that led to the abolishing of the French Monarchy and the establishment of the French Republic.

Who were the Bourbons?

I think the actual truth the French Royal House of Bourbon has also been obscured to hide the True History, but what we are told is that it originated in the Kingdom of France as a Royal House in 1272.

Like I mentioned earlier with the clues found in place-names, a clue to the cover-up of the True History is found in the name given to the French Monarchy, attributed from the Middle Ages to 1789, the year that marked the beginning of the French Revolution in our historical narrative.

It was called the “Ancien Regime,” which has been translated to mean the “Old Regime.”

The typical understanding of the meaning of the word “Ancien” or “Ancient” is shown here, belonging to a period of history that is “thousands’ of years in the past, not “hundreds” of years.

The word “old” just doesn’t have the same association with the far distant past that “ancient” does when referring to historical time periods.

The word “old” is even used to refer to yesterday!

At any rate, St. Denis was said to have been founded in 1669 by the first governor of the Island, Etienne Regnault, who named it after the ship of one of his friends which had landed the year prior.

St. Denis eventually became the only colonial capital in 1738, and all the architecture found in St. Denis, and on Reunion Island, has been attributed to the French colonial era.

There are two main volcanoes on Reunion Island.

Piton de la Fornaise, or Piton “of the Furnace,” is described as a very active shield volcano on the southeastern end of the island, one of the most active in the world, along with Kilauea in the Hawaiian Islands; Mount Etna in Sicily and Mount Stromboli on an island off the coast of Sicily; and Mount Erebus in Antarctica.

Piton des Neiges, or Snow Peak, on the northwestern end of Reunion Island is the highest point on the island, as well as considered to be the highest point in the Indian Ocean.

According to what we have been told, unlike its neighbor volcano on the island to the southeast of it, it has not been active for 20,000-years.

I have a long way yet to go on the alignment, but there’s a lot more to find out on Reunion Island just from a cursory look at its history.

I may revisit this location again in future research….Lots going on here for such a remote, out-0f-the-way location, and the French are still holding on tight to it to this day.

France never gave this place away to another country, unlike its neighbor Mauritius!

Next we come to Tromelin Island, located 310-miles north, or 500-kilometers, north of Reunion Island, and 280-miles, or 450-kilometers, east of Madagascar.

Tromelin Island is a small, low, flat island.

Besides being a seabird and sea tortoise sanctuary, the only structure here is a meteorological station used to gather data in order to forecast hurricanes and cyclones.

It is administered as part of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands as a French overseas territory, however, the island nation of Mauritius claims sovereignty over the island.

Next the alignment goes through the Republic of the Seychelles, an archipelago country consisting of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean.

It is almost 1,000-mles, or 1,609-kilometers, off the coast of East Africa, and is a member of the African Union.

Independence from the United Kingdom was established in 1976.

It’s Africa’s smallest country, and least populated sovereign country.

Like Reunion Island, we are told that they Seychelles were uninhabited prior to the arrival of Europeans, that there was no indigenous population to the islands when they arrived.

The British East India Company first landed here in 1609.

The French arrived here in 1770 and claimed the Seychelles as theirs and the British arrived to settle the Seychelles in 1794.

The British and the French had competing interests here until the Seychelles came under full British control in the 18th-century.

______________________________________________

The capital of the Seychelles, Victoria, is on the main island of Mahe.

What became known as Victoria in 1841 after Queen Victoria, was settled by the French in 1778.

The Victoria Clock Tower in the city-center is called the oldest historical landmark in Victoria, and is a replica of, in one reference, a clock that was erected in 1897 near Victoria Station in London, and in another reference it was a replica of Big Ben.

Whatever it was said to be a replica of, it was inaugurated in 1903 by the British administrator of the Seychelles.

The Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Victoria was said to have been built in 1874 in the French Colonial-style of architecture.

This is a beach-head on Mahe in the Seychelles on the top left, compared with Vaja Beach in Korcula, Croatia, on the top right; Myrtos Beach on the Greek island of Kefalonia, on the bottom left; and Grama Bay in Albania on the Bottom right.

These are just a few of countless examples of the same style of beach-head found around the world that I find interesting to note.

These islands are also known as the Granitic Seychelles. 

Here is an assemblage of photos of the interesting-looking rock formations on the coasts of these islands on the left, and on the right are photos of similar-looking rock formations on the Natuna Islands, part of Indonesia, and located in the South China Sea,  off the northwest coast of Borneo.  I found the Natuna Islands on a different alignment which is how I even knew about them.

Next on the alignment is Mogadishu, the capital and largest city of Somalia.  It is located on the coastal Banadir region on the Indian Ocean, and has been an important port city for thousands of years.

This is a historic photo of Mogadishu. 

It was the capital of Italian Somaliland from 1889 to 1936. 

When the Somali Republic became independent from Italy in 1960, it was known as the “White Pearl of the Indian Ocean.”

The Somali Civil War started in the early 1990s, after the ousting of  Siad Barre in 1991, who had been serving as President of the Somali Republic since 1969.

The Somali Civil War has been on-going for years.

The situation started to stabilize in 2011, and in 2012 a new government was formed with a passing of a constitution and election of a president, but it has never ended.

It is estimated that at least 500,000 people have been killed as a result of it.

Somali Civil War

The following photos will show you what happened to the historic buildings of Mogadishu as a result of years of conflict.

This is the Villa Somalia, the presidential residence, before the president was ousted and after as the result of civil warfare.

This is an historic picture of Mogadishu Cathedral on the left and Seville Cathedral on the right. 

Seville was the capital of Moorish Spain. 

In particular, note the same double-window design component of both of the cathedrals’ towers.

This is what remains of Mogadishu Cathedral today.

Gotta wonder if these Civil Wars were/are created to destroy the infrastructure of the original civilization.

Leaving Mogadishu, we head across the eastern region of Ethiopia known as Ogaden, part of the Somali region of Ethiopia.

The majority of its inhabitants are Somali clans.

It is described as a semi-arid to hot desert climate that is part of the “Somali Acacia-Commiphora Bushlands and Thickets Ecoregion” in the Horn of Africa.

It extends along the floor 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.

The Simien Mountains northwest of this region were said to have formed prior to the Great Rift Valley.

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 Civl 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.”

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.

We are heading to Berbera in the region of northern Somalia known as Somaliland today.

Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991 following the ouster of Siad Barre, after a decade of state repression and civil war in the region.

It is a self-governing region, though not recognized as a sovereign state internationally.

As mentioned previously, this region had been a former British Protectorate, from the 1880s and 1960.

Berbera is located on the Gulf of Aden, and was the capital of British Somaliland Protectorate from 1884- 1941.  

It is still the capital of the Sahil Region of Somaliland.

Berbera is strategically on an oil route.

It has a deep harbor, and it it is situated near entrance to the Red Sea.

From antiquity, Somalia been an important commercial center, and likely the location of the ancient land of Punt.

Punt was a trading partner with Egypt, and was a wealthy country that was rich in resources and exotic goods.

There is still a region of Somalia today known as “Puntland,” adjacent to Somaliland.

Berbera was once a powerful and well-built city that has served as a major commercial center and port since antiquity, and has a glorious past in terms of importance to the region.

Berbera is looking quite rough these days. 

These photos are of crumbling historic buildings in Berbera’s Old Town.

I am going to end this post here and pick up the alignment in the Gulf of Aden on the way into Yemen in the next post.

The Company

Viewer MJ sent me research she had done into “The Company,” and its relationship to our Federal Government and the political process for the Republic, and the world we live in today.

I can only take things so far, and with the help of independent researchers like this viewer, I can take things much further. 

I did not have the information she provided me. 

The dates things are happening is very important when looking at where things in the New World really got kicked off, and her research helped me to connect more dots.

It really takes a village to solve this puzzle because there is so much to uncover regarding what has taken place here and many layers to it as well.

I will be interweaving MJ’s research material with with research that I have done in the past and present for this post.

I am going to focus on the origins & historical impact of The Company in this first part.

I received the research from MJ shortly after I had published “The East India Companies, the Theft of India & the Legacy of the Mughal Empire.”

India was called the “Jewel in the Crown” of the British Empire. and its largest, and most important, overseas possession.

Much of the British Empire was built around India, in order to provide routes to, or protection for, India.

India was prosperous and rich, in spices, silk, indigo, gold, cotton, and other products and resources.

Trade with, and eventual political dominance of large parts of India, was what provided Britain with large parts of its wealth in the 1700s through 1900s.

The East India Company was the means by which the British took over control of India and its fabulous wealth and culture.

The East India Company was nicknamed “The Company.”

This is what we are told.

The British East Company was established as a joint-stock company by Royal Charter on December 31st of 1600 by Queen Elizabeth I.

It was called the “Governor and Company of Merchants of London Trading in the East Indies,” and by the mid-1700s, accounted for half the world’s trade in such commodities as cotton, silk, indigo, spices, sugar, tea, and opium.

For comparison, the flag of the British East India Company is pictured on the top left, and the flag of the United States on the bottom right.

It is important to note that the American Central Intelligence Agency has the same nickname.

On March 20, 1602, Dutch East India Company was chartered to trade with India and Southeast Asian countries by the States General of the Netherlands, the Supreme Legislature of the Netherlands, 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 was chartered to trade with Mughal India, and primarily Mughal Bengal, from where 50% of textiles and 80% of silks were imported.

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.

It is considered by many to be to have been the forerunner of modern corporations.

We are told the use of Arms went from individuals to corporate bodies starting in 1438 with a Royal Charter of incorporation, and the earliest surviving grant of arms, for the “Worshipful Company of Drapers,” formally known as “The Master and Warden and Brethren and Sisters of the Guild and Fraternity of the Blessed Mary the Virgin of the Mystery of Drapers of the City of London,” and since then have been made continously including, but not limited to, companies & civic bodies.

“Draper” is defined as a retailer or wholesaler of cloth that was mainly for clothing.

As we will continue to see, activities around cloth played a signficant role in the development of the New World’s economy and the creation of its powerful banking houses and corporations.

MJ sent me citation resources she used in her research.

The first was Dun and Bradstreet, an American company that provides commercial data, analytics and insights for businesses, including credit ratings.

She said that much valuable information has been removed from public view, and noticed that they have removed many cities and other government entities from their search queries. 

Dun and Bradstreet started out as “The Mercantile Agency” in New York City on July 20th of 1841.

It was formed by Lewis Tappan, who started out in the dry goods business with his father and the silk business with his brother, as the first commercial credit rating agency for businessmen seeking credit, and provided a network of correspondents to provide reliable credit information to its subscribers.

By 1844, the “Mercantile Agency” had over 240 clients, and continued to expand, opening offices in Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore.

Benjamin Douglass took-over the business in 1849, and he transferred it to Robert Graham Dun in 1859, who changed the named to R. G. Dun & Company, and he continued to expand the business across international boundaries, and it kept growing from there.

It’s interesting to me that when I saw on of the modern logos on the right, it bore a slight resemblance in design to one of the EIC logos on the left, which also reminded me of one of the “Knights of Pythias” logos, as seen in the middle.

The “Knights of Pythias” is a secret society and fraternal organization that was founded in February of 1864, which would have been during the American Civil War, which along with other secret societies like the Freemasons, and Odd Fellows, seemed to have been deeply involved in the reset historical narrative by claiming credit for the construction of buildings what would have been architecture of the original civilization, calling them “Pythian Castles” as charity homes for widows and their children, like the “Pythian Home of Missouri,” in Springfield, pictured on the left.

Pictured on the right is the old Louisiana State Capitol Building in Baton Rouge, for similarity of apprearance, with the castle-like appearances, earthworks in the landscape below both buildings, and what appears to be facing in the same direction.

Also, the year of 1841, the year that the “Mercantile Agency” was established, is just screaming at me because that year, and the early-to-mid-1800s in general, has come up as having a lot of significant activity going on.

To begin with, let’s look at what was going on around 1800 that relates to all of this.

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

A freemason since 1802 in the “Premier Grand Lodge of England” in October of 1802, by the time of his death in 1836, Nathan Mayer Rothschild had secured the position of the Rothschilds as the preeminent investment bankers in Britain and Europe, and his own personal net worth was over 60% of the British national income.

Mayer Amschel Rothschild started the Rothschild International Banking family dynasty through his five sons in Frankfurt, Germany, in the 1760s, who were each placed in major cities throughout Europe.

Besides Nathan in London, son James was in Paris; son Amschel succeeded his father in Frankfurt; son Carl was in Naples; and son Salomon in Vienna.

In America, Alexander Brown was an Irish linen merchant who immigrated to America, and established the first investment banking firm in the United States in 1800, just five-years before Nathan established the Rothschild bank in London.

He was joined in business by his sons William, George, John, and James, and the firm became “Alex. Brown & Sons” in 1810.

So his son William established the Liverpool office in England of the family business; George and John founded “Brown Bros. & Company” in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and James opened a branch in New York City and Boston.

This is what we are told about Brown Brothers & Company, that during the first 100-years of its existence, it helped make paper money standard currency in the United States; underwrote the first railroad and trans-Atlantic steamship companies; and essentially created the first foreign exchange system between the American dollar and the British pound.

In 1931, the Brown Brothers merged with the Harriman Brothers & Company, a private bank started with railway money, in 1931 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 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, was the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the American Red Cross, from 1950 to 1973.

He was the brother of W. Averill Harriman, founding partner of the “Brown Brothers Harriman & Company”

John D. Rockefeller was amongst several that donated to create a national headquarters for the Amerian Red Cross near the White House in Washington, DC, said to have been built between 1915 and 1917.

E. Roland Harriman, or “Bunny” as he was nicknamed, attended Yale University, where he was a member of the “Skull and Bones” Society with his friend and classmate… Prescott Bush.

Yale University was named for Elihu Yale, a British merchant and trader, who became President of the Madras Presidency in 1684, at the British East India Company settlement at Fort St. George in Madras in India.

Elihu Yale later became a benefactor of the Collegiate School in the Colony of Connecticut, which in 1718 was renamed Yale College in his honor.

The Skull and Bones Society was founded as an undergraduate senior secret student society at Yale in 1832, just 9-years before Lewis Tappan established the Mercantile Agency.

Another noteworthy American financier who emerged between 1800 and 1840 was George Peabody.

In a similar story to Lewis Tappan, George Peabody got his start in the dry goods business with his brother in what is now Peabody, Massachusetts, and when their store burned down, George went to Georgetown in the Washington, DC, area in 1811 to work in a wholesale dry goods warehouse.

Not long after, he became an office boy for the owner of the warehouse, Elisha Riggs, and not long after that, he became a partner in the wholesale dry goods firm of Riggs, Peabody and Company.

Elisha Riggs also financed the founding of Riggs National Bank, which was organized by his son George Washington Riggs.

Riggs National Bank existed until 2005, when Riggs was dissolved, and acquired by PNC Financial Services.

The reason for the change in ownership of the bank in 2005 was the investigation of Riggs Bank for several money-laundering scandals, including “unknowingly” allowing the hijackers involved in 9/11 to transfer money “due to lax controls” at the bank…

It is interesting to note that as a “National Bank,” Riggs was authorized to print currency at one time in its history.

During the years George Peabody lived in Baltimore, he established his own career as a businessman and financier.

He first travelled to England in 1827 to purchase wares, and negotiate the sale of American cotton in Lancashire.

By 1825, cotton was Britain’s biggest import, primarily from American cotton fields, and Lancashire was dominant force in the British economy with its cotton industry, where the raw cotton was turned into thread and fabrics in a factory-based production line with the advent of the Industrial Revolution in this industry, and marked the birth of the British-working class.

George Peabody opened an office in Liverpool, with British business playing a more and more important role in his business affairs.

The bankers who helped establish him in Liverpool included Sir William Brown, 1st Baronet of Richmond Hill, one of the sons of Alexander Brown, who managed his father’s Liverpool office.

With all of his great connections, George Peabody branched out.

He took up residence in London permanently in 1837, and went from being a wholesale dry-goods and cotton merchant, to a merchant-banker offering securities in American railroad and canal enterprises to British and European investors.

He started a banking business trading on his own account a year after he moved to London, and by 1851, he established the banking firm of “George Peabody & Company” to meet the increasing demand for securities issued by American railroads, and his company specialized in financing governments and large companies.

Apparently railroad and canal developers in the early 19th-century in the United States needed investment capital, and turned to European money markets for the funding to complete their projects.

Likely this investment capital was needed to dig them out of the mud and make them operational again.

Along with canals, I am seeing that rail-tracks et al, were dug-out from a deliberately-caused cataclysmic event, best-known as the mud flood, and that locomotives and railroad cars were pre-existing as well.

I think it was all-electrified prior to the mud flood, and when the Earth’s free energy grid was taken down, most energy sources for mass transportation were replaced by oil and coal until they could get the electricity up and running again, later to be replaced by cars and buses.

For one example, in the course of doing my research, I found the Raritan River Railroad on a long-distance circle alignment beginning and ending in Washington, DC.

It was a 12-mile-, or 19-kilometer-, long short-line railroad operating freight and passenger service in Middlesex County New Jersey, said to have been built in 1888 when the peak of railroad building in the United States was subsiding in the late 1800s.

This the logo for the Raritan River Railroad on the left, compared with the logo for Rolls Royce on the right.

The similarity between these two logos tells me these two companies were connected in some way. Besides the fact the logos look virtually identical, it brings to mind what I found when I was looking at Derby, England.

I found Derby close to the Algiers’ Circle Alignment as I was tracking it through England.

Derby is the geographic center of England, and the Derwent River Valley in Derbyshire is considered the Birthplace of the Industrial Revolution.

Rolls-Royce is a global aerospace, defense, energy, and marine company focused on world-class power and propulsion systems, and its civil aerospace and nuclear divisions are in Derby…

…as well as the Railway Technical Center, the technical headquarters of British Rail, and considered the largest railway research complex in the world.

Back to George Peabody.

George Peabody’s bank quickly rose to become the premier American banking house in London, and this is a statue of him that is located near the Royal Exchange in London.

George Peabody hired Junius Spencer Morgan in 1854 as the Junior partner in his company.

Junius Spencer Morgan was the founder of the company that would become J. S. Morgan & Company in 1864, that was the successor company to George Peabody & Company.

In 1854, Morgan was put in charge of the firm’s iron portfolio, which included the marketing of railroad bonds in London and New York.

By the time J. S. Morgan died in 1890, the Morgan banks were the dominant forces in government and railroad finance, and his son John Pierpont Morgan had taken the helm of the company, becoming known as. J. P. Morgan & Company in 1895.

J. P. Morgan was an American financier and banker who dominated corporate finance on Wall Street throughout this period of time, also known as 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 18th- and early 19th-centuries.

The next citation reference the MJ provided was that of the “Companies House.”

The” Companies House” came into existence in Great Britain on September 5th of 1844, the same year that the “Mercantile Agency” continued to expand into other major cities.

The “Companies House” is an executive agency of the British Government that maintains a register of companies, and is responsible for incorporating all forms of companies in the United Kingdom.

Prior to the formation of the “Companies House,” no central company register existed in Great Britain, and companies could only be incorporated through “Letters Patent.”

“Letters patent” are a type of legal instrument in the form of a published, written order issued by a monarch or other head-of-state, granting an office, right, monopoly, title or status to a person or corporation. Thus, they can be used for the creation of corporations or government offices, or for granting city status or a coat-of-arms.

“Letters Patent” were part of the chartering process, and were used in the granting of “Royal Charters” and “Chartered Companies.”

A royal charter was a formal grant issued by a monarch under “royal prerogative” as “letters patent,” and used early on as the means to legitimize the colonization of North America by the British.

“Royal prerogative” is a body of customary authority, privilege and immunity recognized in common and civil law jurisdictions within a monarchy as belonging to the sovereign that becomes widely vested in government.

Since the 1300s in our historical narrative, royal charters have been used to grant a right or power to an individual or “body corporate,” the formal term for a corporation.

A “body corporate” functions as a “legal person” in law that can do the things a human person is usually able to do but are not literal people.

A “chartered company” is an association with investors and shareholders that is “incorporated,” or formed into a new corporation, and granted rights for the purposes of trade, exploration, or colonization.

As just mentioned, until the establishment of the “Companies House” in 1844, royal charters were the only means that a company could become incorporated, other than by an Act of Parliament.

Like, for example, the British East India Company, which became known as “The Company,” was established as a joint-stock company by way of a Royal Charter granted by Queen Elizabeth I in 1600 to trade in the Indian Ocean region…

…and six-years later, in 1606, King James VI & I issued Royal Charters for what became known as the Virginia Company and the Virginia Company of Plymouth, with the objective of raising funds from investors in order to colonize the eastern coast of America.

Hmmmm.

Coincidence that the heraldry looks almost identifical in design?

Or not?

At any rate, the “Companies House” was created by the “Joint Stock Companies Act of 1844,” which created the “Registrar of Joint Stock Companies,” enabling companies to be incorporated through registration for England, Wales and Ireland, but not Scotland.

Scotland was added in the “Joint Stock Companies Act of 1856.”

The “Young Men’s Christian Association,” or YMCA, the world’s the oldest and largest youth charity with a stated mission of supporting young people to belong, contribute, and thrive in their communities, also started in 1844, the same year the “Companies House” was established and the expansion of the Mercantile Agency into other major Cities in the United States.

The YMCA was one of the earliest Non-Governmental Organization, also known as “NGO.”

An NGO is defined as having been formed independently from government, and perceived by the general public as benevolent and philanthropic organizations with a stated purpose of helping Humanity in a particular area or time of need.

But when you delve into specific Non-Governmental Organizations, invariably there are more questions than answers.

So, for example, George Williams, in seeking to create a supportive community to help young men facing social challenges during England’s Industrial Revolution, founded the Young Men’s Christian Association in 1844.

His biography tell us he was the seventh-, and last-, surviving son of farmers in Dulverton, Somerset, England, and that he started working on the family farm at the age of 13.

Then, he left the family farm in 1841 to become an apprentice to a draper.

He worked at the Hitchcock-Williams store, where became a department manager in 1844.

In the same year of 1844, George gathered a group of fellow drapers together in the store where he worked, concerned about the appalling conditions in London for working young men, and determined to do something about it by forming the YMCA.

At Queen Victoria’s birthday honors in 1894, he was knighted and became Sir George Williams, and upon his death in 1905, he was buried in a crypt in London’s St. Paul’s Cathedral.

There is even a stained-glass window honoring Sir George Williams and the YMCA as a World War I memorial in Westminster Abbey, the same place where major events concerning the British royal family take place, including coronations, weddings, and funerals, as well as the burial site of over 3,000 prominent persons in British history.

Strange honors for a poor farm boy made good as a cloth merchant.

What’s really going on here with Williams, the drapers, and the YMCA?!

Other things that happened during the early 1840s, the Treaty of Nanking between the British Empire and China was signed in 1842 after China’s defeat in the First Opium War.

The First Opium War was fought between Qing Dynasty of China and Britain between 1839 and 1842, and was a military engagement that started when the Chinese seized opium stocks at Canton in order to stop the opium trade, which was banned.

The British government insisted upon free trade and equality among nations and backed the merchants’ demands.

To counter this, the British East India Company began to grow opium in Bengal, in present-day Bangladesh, and allowed private British merchants to sell opium to Chinese smugglers for illegal sale in China.

As a result from these events in history, opium dens, establishments where opium was sold and smoked, became prevalent in many parts of the world throughout the 19th-century.

Some of the world’s wealthiest families today earned a fortune engaging in the opium business, like the Astor, Forbes, Russell, Perkins and Delano families.

They don’t even hide it.

Another example of striking it rich in the opium trade is Jardine-Matheson.

The firm of Jardine, Matheson & Company emerged in 1832 from an evolving process of partnership changes of foreign companies that had first been established in 1782 as Cox & Reid, by John Cox and John Reid.

John Reid was an agent of the Trieste Company, part of the Austrian East India Company, the catch-all term used for a series of Austrian Trading Companies based in Ostend and Trieste, that also included the “Imperial Asiatic Trading Company of Trieste and Antwerp,” the origins of which started in 1775 in our historical narrative for the Habsburg Monarchy government of the Empress Maria-Theresa for Austria to trade with British East India Company-ruled India from the Adriatic port of Trieste after a proposal to do so presented by Dutch-born British merchant William Bolts was accepted, and Bolts sailed forth with a 10-year charter allowing him to trade under Imperial colors between Austria’s Adriatic Ports and Persia, India, China, and Africa.

Two University of Edinburgh Medical School graduates, William Jardine and James Matheson, set-up headquarters of the firm that had evolved from Cox & Reid in Hong Kong after it had been ceded by China to Great Britain in the 1842 Treaty of Nanjing.

Jardine, Matheson & Company grew rapidly, smuggling illegal opium from British-controlled India into China, and the company has been called the “most successful opium smuggling company in the world.

Along with the trade in smuggled opium, as well as tea and cotton, the firm diversified into insurance, shipping and railways.

By the mid-19th-century, Jardine, Matheson & Company had become the largest of the foreign trading conglomerates, with offices in all the major Chinese cities, and in Japan

To this day, they have an opium poppy in their logo.

Fentanyl is the opium of today.

Same idea, only more powerful.

The next citation resource the viewer sent me was that of the 1828 Dictionary of Noah Webster.

The 1828 Dictionary of Noah Webster is the official dictionary of the Federal Constitutional Republic of the United States.

This is a natural law dictionary, and whatever is in this dictionary is the actual meaning of words in the Republic, and documents written in plain English refer to this dictionary.

A Federal Constitutional Republic is a representative form of government that is ruled by a charter, or Constitution.

A democracy is a government that is ruled according to the will of the majority.

Noah Webster was a lexicographer and language reformer, as well as a lawyer, schoolmaster, author, newspaper editor, and politician.

He is often called the “Father of American Scholarship and Education.”

His 1828 dictionary had 70,000 words, of which 12,000 had never appeared in a published dictionary before.

We are told he was seeking to standardize the American English language, and changed the “-our” ending on British English words to “-or” in American English, like the word color.

Webster’s Dictionary also contains 6,000 references to the King James Version of the Bible to demonstrate the meaning of words, and is considered an essential tool for anyone studying the KJV Bible.

The King James Version of the bible, first published in 1611, and the works of William Shakespeare, with the publication of the First Folio in 1623, are considered to be early Modern English.

It is the form of the English spoken since the “Great Vowel Shift,”, a systematic change in the pronunciation of vowels for which the causes in England are unknown, which began in the mid-1400s and was completed by 1600.

My viewer shared with me that the Pilgrims brought the 1560 Geneva Bible with them and that this was the version of the bible that was used in churches up until the 1860s.

The Geneva Bible, preceding the King James Bible by 51-years, was the primary bible of 16th-century Protestant Reformation, and was the first mechanically-produced bible available to the general public.

It was the second Bible to be authorized in English.

The Great Bible of 1539 was the first, which was authorized to be read aloud by King Henry VIII during Church of England services.

The story that we are told in our historical narrative about the Pilgrims is that they were Puritan Separatists who came to the New World so they could worship according to their own beliefs without persecution.

Puritans were English Protestants who wanted to “purify” the Church of England of remaining Roman Catholic practices, as it had not fully-reformed, and was not Protestant “enough.”

The Puritan Congregation that settled the Plymouth Colony had obtained a land patent from the Virginia Company of Plymouth in June of 1619, and they sought to finance their venture through a group of businessmen known as the Merchant Adventurers, who viewed the new colony as a way to make a profit.

Officially known as the Company of Merchant Adventurers of London, it had been founded in the City of London in the early 15th-century, and its main export was cloth, especially undyed broadcloth in exchange for a large range of foreign goods.

Funding obtained from the Merchant Adventurers paid for provisions and passage of members of the Congregation on the Mayflower living in England, and on the Speedwell for those living in the Netherlands, incurring a debt which needed to be repaid.

Important to note that the main source of income for the Plymouth Colony was the fur trade.

The Merchant Adventurers had also recruited a group of people known as “The Strangers” to assist the Pilgrim colonists, known as “Saints” as needed, like merchants, skilled labor, indentured servants, and several young orphans.

The first dictionary of the English language, known as the “Table Alphabeticall,” was published in London in 1604 by Robert Cawdry, an English clergyman and schoolteacher.

It contained around 2,500 word-entries for the uncommon English words coming into use with the advent of the printing-press and the Geneva Bible.

We are told that British poet, playwright, essayist, and lexicographer Samuel Johnson was the Father of the first comprehensive dictionary of the English language in 1755, a project which was said to have taken him 8-years to complete as one person working on it.

It had 42,773-word entries and approximately 114,000 literary quotes to illustrate the meaning of words.

It is considered one of the most influential dictionaries in the history of the English language.

With regards to noteworthy legal treatises and dictionaries, here are a few to consider.

Tapping Reeve was an early American lawyer, educator, and judge.

If you break down the meaning of his unusual name as actual words in English, “Tapping” can be defined as “To exploit or draw a supply from a resource;” and “Reeve” as administrator, attendant; curator; agent; director; foreman; and the list goes on.

Tapping Reeve opened the Litchfield Law School in Litchfield, Connecticut in 1784, the first independent law school established in America for reading law, and a proprietary school unaffiliated with any college or university.

Tapping Reeve became Chief Justice of the Connecticut Supreme Court in 1814.

Reeve published a book in 1816 that was titled “The Law of Baron and Femme – of Parent and Child;, Guardian and Ward, Master and Servant; and of the Powers of the Court of Chancery, with an Essay on the terms Heir, Heirs, and Heirs of the Body.”

This became the premiere American treatise on family law for much of the 19th-century, with revisions and republication in 1846, 1867 and 1888.

Next, Bouvier’s Law Dictionary was first published in 1856.

John Bouvier was a Frenchman who became a U. S. citizen in 1812; and started practicing law in 1818 in Philadelphia.

Over the years, he noticed a lack of a solid American law dictionary, as distinguished from English law, and decided to fill the need.

After ten years of working on his dictionary, it was first published in 1839.

It is mainly based on case studies and jurisprudence under common law.

The original Webster’s Dictionary is the actual dictionary for the Republic as previously mentioned, and documents written in plain English refer to this dictionary.

In 1891, Black’s Law Dictionary was first published by Henry Campbell Black.

While Black was educated as a lawyer, and was admitted to practice law in Pennsylvania 1883, he only practiced for a short period of time, and was not considered a noteworthy lawyer.

Apparently, he chose instead to live in his parents’ house and compile a comprehensive list of legal terms.

MJ explained that Legal-speak is Black’s Law, preferably the fourth edition or older. 

In addition to “Black’s Law Dictionary,” he was also credited with writing the “Handbook of American Constitutional Law,” and publishing over 1,000 scholarly articles on arcane legal matters and political issues of his time.

MJ said she has a library of over one-hundred books written from 1725 to 1900, with the majority of her books being from 1790-1871.

In addition to collecting “Scientific American” magazine and random newspapers written prior to 1870, she has textbooks used in one-room schoolhouses, some of which she inherited, history books, government information, science (particularly pneumatics and electricity), and medical books.

She can point to medical information being changed around 1909.

Most of the following information was provided by MJ from her own research, though like in the first part, I have interwoven some research of my own that I did specifically for this post to supplement MJ’s research where applicable.

Firstly, she said that Law means: Land, Air and Water.

She further explains that “Land” equals Natural Law, or American Common Law.

Natural Law is comprised of “Natural Rights,” specifying what acts one person cannot morally do to another.

They are rights everyone has, and one person’s right does not interfere with another person’s right.

Common Law is the body of law created by judges arising from past court decisions, or precedent.

She said that “Air” equals Vatican Law governed by the Uniform Commercial Code.

The Uniform Commercial Code is a comprehensive set of laws governing all commercial transactions in the United States.

It is not a federal law, but is uniformly adopted state law.

This will be examined in more detail later in the post.

And lastly, the “W” in the acronym.

She explained that “Water” equals “Maritime Law,” also known as “Admiralty Law,” and that this is foreign lawfare to generate wealth for the Crown, also known as “The Company.”

“International Maritime Admiralty Law,” is the law of the sea or water, and money, and is differentiated from the law of the land and natural law, the law of people occupying the land.

“Admiralty Law” is the law that governs navigation and shipping.

Among other things in our world, the application of International Maritime Law is how Humanity became owned property…or in other words, enslaved, to which our birth certificates are key.

When a ship comes in to dock in a port, its arrival is called a “berth.”

It is subject to the law of the sea, and is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code.

When it “berths,” the Captain of the ship must provide a “Certificate of Manifest” to the port authorities, documenting everything the ship is carrying. including identity and value.

When people are born, they are birthed out of the mother’s “water,” and are to be issued a “birth certificate.”

This is our “Certificate of Manifest,” as people are considered to be a corporation-owned item and subject to “International Maritime Admiralty Law.”

Jordan Maxwell is an excellent resource for more information about this subject, and his videos can be found on YouTube.

As MJ explained, the Company cannot do business with living people.

Corporations can only do business with other corporations.

So they have turned everyone into a legal fiction and made them a corporation, known as our “Strawman,” which is denoted by our names being spelled-out in all capital letters on our birth certificates and other legal documents.

This is known as “Capitis Diminutio Maxima” in Roman Law, and signifies the most comprehensive loss of status that occurs when person’s condition was changed from freedom to bondage.

It swept away all rights of citizenship and family rights.

This is connected to the 1302 Unam Sanctum papal bull issued by Pope Boniface VIII.

At the end of it, he writes “Furthermore, we declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff.”

A papal bull is an official papal letter or document, named after the leaden seal used to authenticate it.

They figure prominently in the historical narrative we have been given.

unam sanctam

Other papal bulls that set the stage for the creation of the “New World” were the 1452 “Dum Diversas” and 1455 “Romanus Pontifex” of Pope Nicholas V, and the 1493 “Inter Cetera” of Pope Alexander VI.

The 1452 “Dum Diversas” papal bull of Pope Nicholas V granted the Crown of Portugal full and free permission to invade, search out, capture and subjugate unbelievers and enemies of Christ wherever they may be, and to reduce their persons into perpetual slavery.

His 1455 “Romanus Pontifex” papal bull was a follow-up to the “Dum Diversas,” confirming the Crown of Portugal’s dominion over all lands discovered or conquered during the Age of Discovery, encouraging the seizure of the lands of the Saracens, pagans, and other enemies of Christ, and repeated the earlier bull’s permission for the enslavement of such peoples.

The following year, in 1493, Pope Alexander VI issued the “Inter Cetera” Bull, essentially authorized the grab of the lands of the indigenous Moorish civilization.

Among other things, the bull assigned to Castile “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 of 1492.”

These three papal bulls were to become major documents in the development of the Doctrine of Discovery, upon which subsequent legal decisions were based regarding claims of empire in the “New World.” 

Like, for example, the lands of the “Louisiana Purchase.”

We are told  the Lewis & Clark Expedition’s voyage to the Pacific Northwest, and its maps, and proclamations of sovereignty with medals and flags given to the indigenous people of the land they met, were the legal steps needed to claim title to each indigenous nation’s lands under the Doctrine of Discovery, a concept of public international law expounded by the United States Supreme Court in a series of decisions in 1823.

Under it, title to lands lay with the government whose subjects travelled to and occupied a territory whose inhabitants were not subjects of a European Christian monarch. 

In other words, the Supreme Court ruled that the Native Americans didn’t own their land.

Chief Justice John Marshall explained and applied the way that colonial powers laid claim to lands belonging to foreign sovereign nations during the Age of Discovery, and Chief Justice Marshall noted, among other things, the 1455 papal bull Romanus Pontifex  and the 1493 Inter Cetera bull in the Court’s decisions to implement the Doctrine of Discovery.

Next, MJ talked about the U. S. Constitution.

She said there have been at least three versions of this document.

It is an outline for government.

Our rights as Americans are outlined in the Declaration of Independance and the Bill of Rights.

She further explained that in 1871, the 41st Congress handed the duties of governing to the District of Columbia.

The District of Columbia was also established as a corporation and the seat of the “federal government.”  

Versions of the Constitution after this took place were created by the Corporate government.

Corporate “law” is Maritime or Admiralty Law.

She said it’s piracy and it’s meant to be confusing.

The 41st Congress was not given the authority to contract a foreign company.

All laws, taxes, departments, courts and divisions are not natural to the original Republic.

The Act of 1871 states that D.C. cannot levy any laws or taxes or involve themselves with any domestic issues.

It’s “sister cities” are the City of London, and the Vatican.

All three are not considered any part of the country they are located in.

The BAR is the British Accreditation Registry.

This was not to be practiced outside of the District of Columbia.

Attorneys-at-law are practicing their own law.

This 1871 Organic Act also brought the Vatican’s Uniform Commerical Code, or UCC, into DC.

The UCC was based directly on Vatican Canon Law, the regulations for which are under the Roman Catholic Church.

Henceforth, all “laws” or statutes were considered the “law” for DC.

At this time, in the individual states were still practicing common or natural law, and there was no “judicial system.”

It’s interesting to note that on May 13th of 1871, less than a month after the 41st Congress passed the “District of Columbia Organic Act,” the Italian Parliament passed the “Law of Papal Guarantees,” which guaranteed sovereign prerogatives to the Pope and the Vatican, which interestingly for some reason, the Popes rejected in their refusal to recognize the Italian government’s right to grant them any prerogatives.

The Sovereign prerogatives conferred included such things as the Pope’s person being considered sacred and inviolable; that royal honors be paid to the Pope, including the right to customary guards; all the buildings that constituted the Vatican would remain the property of the Pope; and an indemnity would be paid to the Pope for the loss of the Papal State domains in perpetuity, to cover the expenses of the Holy See and the maintenance of Church buildings.

This all took place after the loss of the Papal States in September of 1870, of which heretofore, the Popes had ruled over Central Italy, with the capture of Rome under Pope Pius IX, and the last event of the chain of events leading to the reunification of most of the Italian States into the Kingdom of Italy, with the exception of San Marino.

As a result of the papal rejection of the “Law of Guarantees,” the Popes declared themselves “Prisoners of the Vatican” of the new Italian State.

This situated persisted until February of 1929, when the Lateran Pacts created the microstate of Vatican City, and the Holy See recognized Rome as the capital of what was the Kingdom of Italy at the time.

The City of London Corporation is the governing body of the City of London, which is home to most of the United Kingdom’s Financial Sector.

It is nicknamed the “Square Mile.”

While there is no surviving record of a first charter establishing the Corporation as a legal body, it is said to be regarded as incorporation by prescription, or that the law presumed it to be incorporated since it had been regarded as such for so long.

The history of the City of London Corporation’s first recorded royal charter was said to date back to one granted by William the Conqueror in 1067 AD with much in its history of one kind or another since that time.

The Coat of Arms of the City of London Corporation was to have been in use since 1381, and is anciently recorded at the College of Arms.

The dragon supporters on each side of it, and the crest at the top, were said to have been added in the early 17th-century.

The basic similarity with the red crosses on a white background between these three Coats-of-Arms is unmistakable!!

Oh yes, and there’s this Red Cross too!

Back to the United States.

According to the information that MJ provided me from her research, before the 1871 Organic Act, the States operated on the Ten Bill of Rights and the Ten Commandments.  

People were tried according to the 1215 Magna Carta and by a jury of their peers.

The Magna Carta was a Royal Charter of Rights and Freedoms granted by King John in June of 1215 in our historical narrative.

It was believed to be a unique and early charter of human rights.

She said there were no judges, no district attorneys, no police and no fines, licenses or taxes.

Individual states were considered sovereign and revenue for the states was obtained via tariffs.

These tariffs were based on trade between states, and a company established outside of the borders of the state was considered foreign (and still is). 

MJ looked for, and couldn’t find, the first name of the corporation that owned the District of Columbia, the City of London and the Vatican.

She said, however, the name then, and now, can literally be anything provided the terms “doing business as” or dba is denoted.

“Doing Business As” is a “trade name.”

A “trade name” is a pseudonym used by companies that do not operate under their registered company name.

The term for this type of alternative name is a “fictitious” business name.

MJ said the name of the corporation that owns the DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, the CITY OF LONDON and THE VATICAN is presently called the “CORPORATION SERVICE COMPANY” or “CSC,” with several DBA names.

The individual states were not considered a part of that corporation, yet incorporated cities were typically established by an overseas foreign corporate entity, like for example, the founding of New Ulm in Minnesota in 1854, by the “German Land Company of Chicago.

Overseas corporations scrabbled to incorporate cities in America to create revenue.

Taxes, fees, fines and licenses were money makers.

Early on, these were very nominal.

It wasn’t until the Buck Act of 1940 that States, cities and counties started bringing in Admiralty Law, the real money-maker and enslavement apparatus for the Corporations. 

The “CORPORATION SERVICE COMPANY” dba THE UNITED STATES CORPORATION COMPANY was able to gain access to the pocketbooks of the people residing outside of the DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA with the Bucks Act.

MJ provided the information on this is how it was accomplished.

The Federal Government instituted Social Security in 1935.

Subsequently, the Social Security Board created ten Social Security Districts, thus creating “Federal Areas” which overlaid the States.

Then in 1939, the Federal Government instituted the “Public Salary Tax Act of 1939,” a municipal law of the District of Columbia that taxed all Federal and State government employees and those who work and live in any “Federal Area.”

Since the government knew that it could not tax those who live outside of the territorial jurisdiction of the DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, the Bucks Act was passed in 1940, that allowed any department of the Federal government to create a “Federal Area” for the imposition of the 1939 Public Salary Tax Act, with the overlay for “Federal Areas” created by the Social Security Board in 1935 already in place, and the rest of the taxing law was contained in the Internal Revenue Code of 1939.

It opened up the entire country to the B.A.R. and each elected official was then considered employees of the “CORPORATION SERVICE COMPANY.”

States were annexed one-by-one.

In Minnesota, the state became the STATE OF MINNESOTA in 1966.

She said that when the States create a program, the also create shell companies.

Usually, the owner is the registered agent of the company.

There are over 5000 companies reported at 2345 Rice Street in Roseville, which is north of St. Paul, the State Capital of Minnesota.

This address is a 1970’s office building where “CORPORATION SERVICE COMPANY,” has a large office suite.

She said the listings exploded in March of 2021.

They started listing about 200 a month.

She found out that when she searched for these companies, they either didn’t have a website, or they have a false-front website. 

By the end of the 1970s, all states had been annexed by the “CORPORATION SERVICE COMPANY.”

The Buck Act made it “legal” to levy taxes and “federal law” on the people.

Annexation of individual states made it possible for the state politicians to also get in on the money-making action.

State Universities and public schools also became larger money-making ventures.

The “CORPORATION SERVICE COMPANY” has been with us in all aspects of our lives.

She said this used to be visible on Dun and Bradstreet. They’ve removed access to the information. Below is an old screen shot of D&B data. One thing to keep in mind is that .gov is also dba CSC, or the “CORPORATION SERVICE COMPANY”

Does the natural government that existed prior to the Company still exist?

MJ indicated that yes, the natural government that existed prior to the Company still exists today, and is paid for by the U S. Treasury and not the “CORPORATION SERVICE COMPANY.”

She explained it as follows.

Sheriffs, U. S. Marshalls and the Military are all part of the natural government.

She said prior to the Organic Act of 1871, Congressmen and Senators didn’t get rich holding any of these elected seats.

Nearly all of them kept their “day jobs” as farmers, ranchers, merchants, etc.

They had to live and work among their constituents and answer to them in person, unlike today.

She repeated that the United States is a Constitutional Federal Republic, and not a Democracy as it is so often characterized…

..and that our law is Common Law or Natural Law, and is written in the plain English referred to in the 1828 Webster’s Dictionary.

She said that the process is articulated in the First Amendment.

She explained the following.

The first part of the First Amendment translates to Congress being forbidden to make any laws that have to do with anything in regard to free speech or their right to speak or limiting speech.  

It is saying that government cannot make any laws in reference to speech at all.

The press does not mean journalists. Freedom of speech and of the press applies to everyone.

She said it’s the second part of the First Amendment that has been really convoluted concerning the right of the people to peaceably assemble.

Assemble means to convene or congregate.

She said it’s not about religion, but it can be.

She explained that the rest of the First Amendment states “…and to petition the Government for redress of grievances,” and that in this case, with the reference to assemble, it means to convene government to make them repair their wrong doings as written out.  Or, in other words, the right to assemble means the right to convene their government and to read the written transgressions and to fix it.

She said petition does not mean just a bunch of signatures.

It can have a bunch of signatures on it, but it’s really a handwritten document that outlines the grievances to be fixed. 

She said this is also part of the government’s process in their own manual, “Mason’s Manual of Legislative Procedure.”

“Mason’s Manual” has been adopted by the Federal Government and by most State Houses as the official parliamentary authority, covering for legislatures things like motions; vote requirements; and rules of order.

It was first published in 1935 by Paul Mason, a scholar who worked for the California State Senate

She said there are a few states that have adopted Jefferson’s Manual which refers back to the plain language of the Bill of Rights. 

She said everything that we’re talking about here is under Common Law, and that Admiralty Law can play musical chairs with the language and words, but Common Law cannot…

…and no courts shall come between the people and their government.

She said that State Legislators have subject matter jurisdiction over elections, elections are subject to the First Amendment and to Mason’s Legislative Practices.

And if even one Legislator makes it to the floor of the State Legislature with a handwritten petition for redressing grievances regarding an election, it would have to be validated or redone.

MJ indicated a turning point occurred during the Trump Administration, when Federal Reserve was rolled into the Treasury in March of 2020.

Prior to 2021, the government corporation (state or city) would write a bill and send it to the Federal Reserve to be funded.

Every dime of our tax money would go to the Feds to repay the debt, with interest.

As this stopped, the shell companies for all state and federal programs and government corporations started getting generated in mass.

In order to keep the money coming in, they have to create false programs and run the money through shell companies.

On the books, it looks like the money went to a vendor of the program, but essentially it went to the Corporation Service Company.

As the Treasury Department is not part of the Corporation, the government of the United States Corporation government can’t touch it.

She said this is how to define what belongs to the Corporation Service Company. and what belongs to the Republic, or falls under common law.

Most county seats are in the Republic, not under the corporation.

The courts are an exception to this as they are owned by the BAR.

The Treasury, Military, Sheriffs and US Marshals belong to the Republic.

Everything else is owned or was owned by the Corporation Service Company.

The National Debt belongs to the Corporation Service Company because the Federal Reserve was signed into law in 1913 by President Woodrow Wilson under the Corporation.

The national debt of over $32-trillion belongs to them, which has never been repaid.

Since the Corporation Service Company has not repaid their debt, they reorganized as CSC Global.

She said neither the States nor the “Federal Government” are linked to this new entity.

The Corporation Service Company and its new CSC Global are owned by WMB Holdings, Inc.

She said all roads lead back to Delaware, and that if you find an address on 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, Delaware, it is CSC/WMB holdings.

So let’s talk now about good reason to believe there is for great hope for our future instead of despair from the past.

Is there something new happening?

It’s very interesting to note that since the beginning of October, there have been secret windows appearing on the U. S. Debt Clock.

This was the first message to appear in a secret window, on October 1st of 2023.

Here are more examples of the debt clock’s “Secret Window” messages.

Recently, Rep.Steve Scalise introduced Rep. Mike Johnson as the 45th Speaker of the House.

But wouldn’t Rep. Mike Johnson be the 56th House speaker, elected to the 118th Congress?

45th does not sound like 56th.

1876 was the 44th house speaker.

Could it be possibly be true that events have been set in motion to return the United States to the gold standard and restore original Republic?

Now wouldn’t that be something!

If this is true, I, for one, am so ready for a new beginning!

How about you?
